A Russian senator has proposed a ban on surrogacy, saying that current imperfect laws provide little protection for all participants of the process as well as alleging that the procedure can hurt babies born through it.
The main sponsor of the motion, Senator Anton Belyakov (Vladimir Region, central Russia) told Izvestia daily that in his opinion Russia has become an international center of “surrogacy tourism,” but regulation of this sphere lies mostly in the area of civil law. This leads to the situation in which parties in the surrogacy deal sign simple contracts in which they can mention any obligations and rights, but the law cannot guarantee that these obligations would be observed.
“Usually it remains unestablished if a stillborn child or a child born with pathologies is a result of poor execution of its obligations by one of the parties in a surrogacy contract. Additionally, the transfer of a child from a surrogate mother to biological parents does not require a formal adoption procedure, simple consent of a surrogate mother is enough. This could lead to situations in which surrogate mothers blackmail biological parents,” Belyakov said.
The senator proposes to start rewriting the laws regulating surrogacy in Russia and impose a nationwide ban on this procedure before such laws are passed.
Belyakov also mentioned “numerous pieces of scientific research” proving that the ties between a baby and its mother are forming at the prenatal phase and severing of these ties has negative effect on the child.
In addition, the church official noted that the presence of a surrogate mother in a holy union between a man and a woman can damage or destroy this union.
This is not the first time Russian lawmakers have attempted to impose restrictions on surrogacy. In 2014, they prepared a bill that banned hired surrogate mothers and introduced a mandatory agreement from a special medical commission and a restriction of its use by single people. This bill has not yet been considered by the parliament.
In 2013, head of the Patriarchy Commission for Family Motherhood and Childhood, Dmitry Smirnov, blasted surrogacy as “mutiny against God” and “happy fascism,” and said the Church would press for a complete legislative ban. In early 2015, Patriarch Kirill said surrogacy “was corrupting the very definition of motherhood and the secret of family relations” adding, “any person with morals cannot put up with the existence of laws allowing surrogacy.” When reporters asked the patriarch what the alternative to surrogacy was for infertile couples, he answered that they should adopt orphans.

This includes assigning data from Facebook-owned services like WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as third-party websites, to a Facebook user account.
German anti-trust authorities have ruled against Facebook over its methods of combining user data from different sources, including WhatsApp and Instagram. "The combination of data sources", the cartel authority said, "substantially contributed to the fact that Facebook was able to build a unique database for each individual user and thus to gain market power".
Through those practices, Facebook has been able to build profiles of its users that are far more complete than if it relied exclusively on recording their activities within the social network. When it started operating in Europe more than a decade ago, data-protection regulators were toothless.
While EU's powerful antitrust arm has no open investigations into Facebook, EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said she'd "take an interest" into leaked Facebook emails that included a threat to cut off data access to a potential rival.
'In future, consumers can prevent Facebook from unrestrictedly collecting and using their data.
But there could also be other reasons why the European Commission wasn't thrilled which have much more to do with, again, European data protection rules. However, assigning the data to Facebook user accounts will only be possible subject to the users' voluntary consent.
"The Bundeskartellamt underestimates the fierce competition we face in Germany, misinterprets our compliance with the GDPR, and threatens the mechanism European law provides for ensuring consistent data protection standards across the EU".

I received this reminder from Riva’s Remedies – a great resource for healing your horse.
Marijke van de Water (B.Sc., DHMS) is an Equine Health & Nutrition Specialist, Homeopathic Practitioner, Medical Intuitive & Healer and naturally…a teacher and author! Many thanks to her for spreading her great work and guidance.
Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine dating back 200 years ago. While North America is slowly accepting homeopathy as an established form of medicine it is a widely accepted modality in Europe, UK, India and Latin America. Homeopathic remedies are highly diluted doses of substances to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism to promote health.The use of homeopathic medicines – popularly known as remedies – is based on the discovery that natural substances are capable of curing the same symptoms that they can cause – “The Law of Similars”.
For example, homeopathic (or diluted) onion treats eye and nose allergies, homeopathic ipecac treats nausea and vomiting and homeopathic influenza virus treats cold and flu symptoms.
Riva’s Remedies homeopathics are formulated as easy-to-use combination remedies to address common situations.

Slipping into a hot, sudsy tub after a long and tiring day…or really any kind of day…is definitely a highlight for me. It’s a signal to my mind and body that now is the time to finally relax. No kids, no pets, no distractions — just time for me. Whether it’s with a glass of wine, a compelling novel or guided meditations, taking a calming soak is totally underrated.
So its no surprise that the positive sentiments elicited from taking a bath also occur in our wee ones. When we’d plunge my young son into his toasty bath he would instantly go calm. He just loved the water! And he knew that after his bath came a story, a bottle and then finally bedtime. In our house, bath time was a family affair. My husband, myself, our baby and the dog would all crowd into the bathroom every night like clockwork. It was such a great bonding experience for my husband and I as a couple and also for us as parents.
And when I say like clockwork I mean it. Whether we had company, were out for dinner, or whatever, when it came time for bed, bath time was first up on the docket. Our kiddo started to look forward to it as much as we did! The bath was just step one in a routine that we worked really hard to establish. When babies are young it’s a challenge to help them organize their days from nights. And bath time helped signal to him that his “big sleep” was coming — not just any old nap.
We always made sure to use all-natural baby-friendly bath products to avoid drying out his skin and frequently lathered him in baby lotion. Our personal favourites are the Burt’s Bees and The Honest Company brands. Burt’s Bees has a specific line just for babies — Baby Bee (how adorable right?!). From lotions and potions to make up and lipstick and hooded towels and baby clothing, the brand has really exploded to suit any need that might arise for the entire family. For some top recommended Burt’s Bees products, check out: Best Burt Bees Products.
The Honest Company covers everything from cleaning supplies to personal products — all specially crafted and designed to care for your wee one. Check out The Honest Company’s Essentials Bundle — a monthly subscription so you never run out! Oh and you can sign up to try free samples before you purchase.
Humans are creatures of habit. And it is never too early to start cultivating good ones in your young ones — especially when the habits help foster positive sleep. Because we all know — when they sleep, you sleep!

Since our inception, our goal has been to provide the best solutions to temperature monitoring. To do that, we make sure that the products we offer are of the highest possible quality. This means consistently accurate results in temperature monitoring for all of the industries we cater to: fishing, fresh produce, chemical and pharmaceutical/ medical.
The consequences of poor quality products can cost businesses a lot of money and for some industries can be a matter of life and death. This is particularly true of the medical and pharmaceutical industries and longer term, the responsibility that companies take in terms of the environment. Consequently, we made sure that our Timestrip and Berlinger medical products were certified by the Institute of Quality and Control (IQC) and the Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) respectively. Berlinger also incorporated an environmental standard into their quality management system to make sure that the environment is protected. Both the IQC and SGS are members of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the international standard setting body.
What are international standards and how are they set?
The ISO is the banner under which technical experts work together to develop an industry standard. The process followed is complex, beginning with the draft of a proposal. This is shared amongst the other experts for input and discussion. Once that is done, a voting process takes place and based on that the draft is on its way to become an international standard. The entire process can take up to three years.
Once a standard (document) has been developed and published, it is made available for purchase through member organisations all across the globe. A company can then apply to have their products certified through a certification body who is able to measure the product according to the ISO standard.
What standards are our medical products certified for?
ISO 9001:2015 – quality management system for the development and manufacturing of smart labels, certified by the IQC.
ISO 13485:2016 – development and manufacturing of smart labels for medical use, certified by the IQC.
ISO 9001: 2008 – the development and manufacture of, and commerce in – temperature control systems, certified by the SGS.
ISO 14001: 2015 – manages environmental responsibilities.
The aim is to create “consistent, good quality products and services”, which will benefit the business. This works hand in hand with ISO 13485:2016 which further clarifies requirements in development for the highly specialised medical field.
The ISO 14001: 2015 is a standard which supports the goal of implementing environmental management systems with “the aim of contributing to the environmental pillar of sustainability.” Read more about this in our previous blog post on pillars of sustainable business.
In conclusion, we are proud to uphold internationally required standards and through this, as well as other ventures, continue to exceed the expectations of our suppliers in the industries which we service.

Boise Cafe's lasagna might make Garfield learn to salsa dance.
Christmas in July and un-birthdays have long given raucous revelers a reason to celebrate off-season. But Tres Bonne Cuisine is taking hoax-holidays to a new level. The European food, wine and beer cafe on Overland will present its fourth annual Mocktoberfest on Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, from 6-10 p.m. As the tagline for the event asks: "Why wait until October to enjoy the best reason to celebrate European tradition?" Setting aside philosophy, art, medicine, architecture and the tradition of drinking wine with every meal, we couldn't agree more.
Mocktoberfest will offer a selection of European delicacies--like Polish biala kielbasa (sausage), Czech brambovy salat (potato salad), lefsa from Norway and fruit tartlets from Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and France. There will also be ample suds and spirits available to sip on while listening to live music from FlipSide. As Tres Bonne Cuisine's website says, "It doesn't have to be Oktober to have good party!" For more information, visit tresbonnecuisine.com.
If you want to stuff yourself with Basque fare, sign up for the Basque Market's stuffed tapas class on Thursday, May 19. The class will teach you how to make jamon serrano-stuffed mushrooms and stuffed piquillo peppers, two ways, one with Spinach bechamel and the other with crab-mango. Classes start at 6 p.m., are $30 per person paid in advance, and include a tasting of three to four Spanish wines. To register, call 208-433-1208 or visit thebasquemarket.com.
In Italian news, Boise Cafe, the late-night salsa dancing joint that formerly housed Eli's Deli during the day at 219 N. 10th St., is open once again for lunch. For the last three months, the Boise Cafe Deli has been featuring artisan ciabatta deli sandwiches, homemade daily specials--like lasagna and penne with Italian sausage--and an all-you-can-eat, 24-item soup and salad bar for $5.95. If you want to shake off all those Italian calories, make sure to stop by from 9-10 p.m. for free salsa lessons every Friday and Saturday, and an open dance floor until 2 a.m. with a $5 cover.

The 100 percent renewable energy agenda would require solar panels on new residential and commercial buildings and establish a “net zero” stretch building code. The agenda would also set energy efficiency standards for existing large buildings and appliances that are not covered by federal regulations. New buildings that receive state funding would have to use clean, renewable heating.
The Department of Energy Resources would be required to establish interim energy targets for 2030 and 2040, and issue regulations to meet those targets. The bill would also create a Clean Energy Workforce Development Fund to support training and job placement in the clean energy industry.
Last August, Massachusetts enacted legislation that strengthened its renewable portfolio standard by requiring a 2 percent boost in procurement of supplies each year from 2020 to 2029, up from the previous 1 percent annual increase.
Massachusetts joins California, Hawaii, Washington, and more recently New York, which have set goals or committed to 100 percent clean energy.

For people with autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ocular Rosacea, Graves’ Disease, Raynaud’s, Lupus, Bone Marrow Transplantation, Graft Versus Host, and more.
up to 3 months if needed.
Start intensive treatment with TheraLife Eye Autoimmune by taking 8 capsules a day until tear film stability is established and your eyes feel comfortable. This will take 1 to 3 months.
When symptoms improve, continue treatment by taking 6 capsules of TheraLife Eye Autoimmune per day for maintenance of relief.
if you experience a flare-up.
If symptoms return, go back to taking 8 capsules per day. Go down to 6 capsules per day only when symptoms improve. It’s important not to reduce dosage too quickly.
Theralife® recommends an initial dosage of 8 capsules per day for the first week of treatment, followed by successive decreases in dosage levels as treatment continues (see Dosage Instructions above). This regimen works well for most people with mild to moderate dry eyes who are generally in good health. For those with severe dry eyes, the initial dosage of 8 capsules per day may have to be extended beyond the first week, especially for patients with auto-immune diseases such as Sjorgren’s Syndrome.
A question that often arises is: How many capsules should be taken once dry eye symptoms are alleviated or normal tear secretion is established? The appropriate maintenance dosage for you will depend on many physiological and environmental factors such as: age, medical conditions and medications, exercise level, weather, hormonal balance, and others.
Dry eye conditions may flare up or become more severe from time to time, due to the factors discussed earlier. To help with the discomfort caused by these flare ups, Theralife® recommends taking additional capsules prior to and during travel on airplanes, active outdoor sports activities, sudden humidity changes (especially due to altitude changes), and other seasonal changes. Wearing wrap-around sun glasses is also highly recommend for outdoor activities to protect your eyes from sun and wind.
In short, you can always take additional capsules of Theralife® Eye Enhanced when dry eye symptoms flare up or when you know that you will be encountering conditions which may aggravate your dry eye symptoms.

The penalty shoot-out Carabao Cup win over Burnley has allowed Leeds United to quickly draw a line underneath their disappointing first loss of the season, but head coach Thomas Christiansen will also have hoped his players have learned a valuable lesson that they were taught last Saturday.
Riding high on top of the table after five wins and two draws from their first seven Sky Bet Championship games, the Whites could not have gone into the game at Millwall in better spirits, but to say they left with tails between legs would be an understatement.
While a 1-0 defeat does not look too disastrous on the surface and the unbeaten start had to end at some time, the manner of the loss was more worrying.
Despite the close final score Leeds were completely outplayed all round the pitch by opposition who are in the bottom half of the table, but appeared to want the points more.
It was rude awakening for some of United’s new boys, good players all it would appear, but who may not have experienced an atmosphere like they faced at The Den and they will have to quickly learn from that with tough trips coming up in the next couple of weeks to Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday.
Before then comes a return to home soil against Ipswich Town this Saturday, another side like Millwall who will aim to get in the Whites’ players faces and deny them the space to play the attacking football which has quickly become a trademark of the Christiansen era.
Ipswich, under manager Mick McCarthy, have always proved hard to beat with their no frills football and they travel to Elland Road with an impressive start to the campaign behind them - they are only two points behind Leeds with a game in hand.
Leeds boss Christiansen faces some interesting selection decisions after admitting the performance of some of his players at Burnley in a team showing nine changes from the Millwall game had given him food for thought.
goalkeeper Andy Lonergan marked his first appearance back at the club by making some crucial saves, including a decisive one in the penalty shoot-out.
Gaetano Berardi proved he is back to full fitness at full-back and forward Pawel Cibicki showed his worth on his debut.
“It says a lot about my squad, that I have a lot of players to choose,” said Christiansen.
“This gives me more headaches. It was a tough and long game but we came here with the intention to pass to the next round.

The Locker ransomware, which can be described as a ‘sleeper’ virus, was recently activated after sitting silently on several hundreds of infected computers over an unknown period of time. The hacker activated the malware last week, which caused the files kept on the infected devices to become encrypted. The author of the attack then charged around $24 for the decryption keys.
Locker’s creator announced he was sorry for his actions by posting a message on PasteBin on May 30th.
“I am the author of the Locker ransomware and I’m very sorry about what has happened. It was never my intention to release this. I uploaded the database to mega.co.nz containing ‘Bitcoin address, public key, private key’ as CSV. This is a dump of the complete database and most of the keys weren’t even used. All distribution of new keys has been stopped,” the hacker wrote.
According to the developer, an automatic decryption process that will free all the devices affected by the ‘sleeper’ ransomware kicked-off on Tuesday (2nd), at midnight. Still, the message doesn’t mention the ransoms already paid and possible refunds.
According to Stu Sjouwerman, founder of the digital security firm KnowBe4, the decryption keys released by the hacker don’t appear to be malicious. However, the online safety expert released his opinion based on a brief analysis and advises all victims to wait for a more detailed study of the keys.
The safest option for now is to wait for the automatic decryption of the files promised by the hacker, says Sjouwerman.
Internet users all over the world are sharing their opinions about the attack and the hacker’s unexpected attitude, who claimed that the ransomware was activated by mistake. Nevertheless, Sjouwerman believes the desing of the ‘sleeper’ virus suggests “months-long, careful planning,” so a simple mistake is not a likely explanation for what happened.

Food Drink Ireland (FDI), the Ibec group that represents the food sector, today launched its Budget 2019 submission, which calls on government to introduce a series of measures to help the sector maintain its competitiveness and achieve its growth potential against the backdrop of Brexit and a significant weakening of sterling. It highlights that in the context of Brexit, companies will need support to diversify products and market focus, innovate both products and processes, and re-align their business models to mitigate the impacts of such a market shock. Supporting our domestic industries will help to offset the worst impacts of Brexit. In this context, there must be a stronger delivery on Brexit preparation and mitigation domestically.
Although major uncertainties make it difficult for Government to plan ahead, the time for preparation is now. Ibec members will be making key decisions in advance of March 2019 and the Government can play a greater role by putting in place a multi-annual framework for funding Brexit mitigation beginning in Budget 2019. The resources required will be in the region of 5% of the value of current annual export sales to the UK (€650m over three years).

Installing countertops is an easy DIY job if you know the correct steps to do it. By installing the countertops yourself you can save alot of money from the total cost and can make the whole project cheap of getting a new kitchen.
We will be telling you every step on "How to install diffrent kitchen countertop yourself ?". The most famous DIY countertop projects are listed below with every step in detail.
Installing Quartz slab is a difficult task to do, take up this task only if you think you are experienced enough to do it. Else you will end up destroying a very costly slab and at the end you will suffer only loss. Quartz slab is a very durable material and will last long enough only if installed properly.
Quartz slabs are very heavy and tough so make sure that you have enough man power to move the slab by lifting rather than sliding it. It can damage your house and the people if not lifted properly. You have to ensure that the cabinet you prepare are strong enough to take the weight of the slab.
Measure the space of the countertop where you need to install quartz countertop and buy the Quartz slab accordingly. Make sure you take the measurements of the sink and how much space you will have to leave for it. Always take a little more than the actual measurment because some material will get wasted during cutting.
Apply the painter’s tape where you think the slab needs to be cut or trimmed. Now you need to cut the slab with the diamond blade saw and be sure to wear all the safety equipments before you start cutting. Wear eye protection, gloves and a mask that covers your mouth.
Make sure that your saw is wet, because firstly you saw will not heat up and will prevent the slab from melting. Secondly it will settle all the dust particles and you will be able see clearly and breathe without much problem.
Line up the countertop on the surface to make sure that it fits properly. Now carefully remove the slab and apply the construction adhesive on the surface. If the top of the cabinets are covered with wooden planks then spread the adhesive evenly on the back of the slab. But if your cabinets are not covered with wooden planks then apply adhesive only on the corners and sides.
Now again lift the slab and place it on the cabinet, but after this you will not be able to move the slab again so be careful while placing it.
Bring the backsplash cut out and see that does it have the correct measurement. Fill the caulking gun with silicone and apply it to the back of the wall. Now bring the backsplash cut out and gentli fit it in. Fill the seams using a suitable grout color, wipe off the excess and let it dry.
The first step to install a laminate sheet on your countertop is to clean and smooth the surface using a sander. The sander will remove the irregularities from your countertop so that the laminate sheet settles easily and doesn't get removed. Wipe off the remains from the countertop using a brush.
Now measure the countertop using an inch tape and take atleast 1-2 inch extra length from all the sides. Now apply a masking tape on the back side of the laminate sheet to prevent chipping. Now if your laminate sheet does not cover the entine lenght of the countertop then in that case cut an extra piece.
Now overlap both the sheets and stick it together using a tape. Now cut them from the place where they are overlapping so that the seam is not visible later. Now join both the sheets using a masking tape.
Using a roller, roll the contact cement on the whole countertop and the laminate sheet separately, apply blue painters tape along the inside edges of the sink to prevent excess epoxy from flushing out. Now mix a small amount of epoxy and apply on the top edges of the sink. Now let both of them to dry, till then place batten sticks on the whole countertop leaving a 1 inch gap between them. The sticks should be long enough to cover the whole countertop lenght.
Now place the laminate sheet on the sticks placed on the countertop and set it in position so that the sheet edge is just over the countertop edge. Now start removing the sticks one by one starting from the center and press the sheet firmly with your hands. When you have removed all the sticks, using a roller roll it over the entire countertop.
Now remove the masking tape from the joint where you joined the two sheets and you can see that you get a perfectly aligned seam that's almost invisible. Now using a a special laminate router flush the extra edges and you will get sharp edges. Use a filer to remove the sharpness from the edges.
Now using a router make a hole in the center of the sink hole and flush trim to remove the laminate from the top of the sink. Using a bevel bit, trim the laminate around the edges of the sink and use a filer to give the edges a smooth finish.
Now take the edges out that you choose for your countertop and cut them so that it is easy to handle them. Now dry fit them and so that they fit perfectly with other edges. Using a wooden glue, glue the backside of the edges and fit them. Support them with clamps and masking tape to support them. Now enjoy the laminate countertop that you have installed yourself.

Once I have gotten my keycard to my Executive Deluxe Chalet, I was offered their all time buggy service or drive to the chalet. I opted for driving as I brought my baggage along which I feel would be better having my car next to the chalet. Oh yeah they do provide parkings next to the chalets.

The rooms usually faces the pools for this relaxing scenery.
Well I just decided to get out of my room and explore the surroundings. After all I should enjoy the facilities right?
They have seats and tables next to the pools and fountain, perfect for relaxing small talks if you come with your other half.
Tell me you wouldn't want to spend more time here.
After the good nap, I went off for a good fishing run. Fishes caught could be cooked at the hotel restaurant. They do provide rods with baits for rental just like they provide bicycles if you decide to cycle around too.

If you follow me on social media, I hope you've noticed I've been posting artwork each week that anyone may name their price in order to claim it. It is aptly called "Name Your Price."
1. One of the greatest challenges of my career is selling artwork in Knoxville. Even with our huge art crawl called First Friday that happens every month, it's a tough town for any artist, especially contemporary and young artists.
But nothing inspires me more than a challenge. It's made me stretch myself and become more creative. "Art for the People" was an innovative way to sell work and learn a little more about what art interests people in Knoxville.
2. While sales are important for me to sustain what I do, Art For the People wasn't only about that. It was also about engagement with people and making artwork accessible to anyone. I wanted to let people make offers so that they could own an original piece of artwork. I also, in general, wanted to hear more from people, and I did!
I have so much artwork that's accumulated over the 10+ years since college and I'm ready to let it go. I've thrown out a lot of it, but Name Your Price is a way to find homes for some of it that I'm not going to show in exhibitions but someone may still want.
I've hit a transition period with my work where things are moving a direction I really like. I'm experimenting more, but this means I'm not necessarily making work to to show in a gallery or include in an exhibition, which means I can't easily sustain this time of exploration. This work I'm doing is good and important and so Name Your Price allows me to recoup some expenses so that I can keep moving forward.
In essence, this is a great way to support my artistic endeavors while I'm in, what feels a little like limbo. It's a really good limbo, but this work just feels like something I can't easily put a price on, so I'm asking you to.
It's a work in progress, but NYP happens every Wednesday. I post a photo of the artwork available on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter with a link to my website giving more details about the piece. There's a form there to fill out with your name, email, and the price you'd like to offer. The highest offer will claim the piece.
I'm working out all the details, but each time there is a deadline to make your offer. It might be the same day or you may have a few days.
An hour or so before NYP closes, I send an email to anyone who has made an offer to let them know what the highest offer price is. This gives them a chance to counter offer if they want.
You can offer any amount. My hope is that this will be a number that is a good compromise between what you can afford and what still places a good value on my work. My main purpose is to move this work, so you could also just walk away with a steal! Why not try it?
I add on shipping cost so you can make an offer from anywhere in the continental US.
All the work so far has been original, but in the future I will offer some limited edition and fine art prints.
I think everyone should own original artwork and while I know the value (time and cost) of making artwork, I am happy to make some work accessible for anyone and everyone that wants it.
I want to turn Viewers and Fans of my artwork into Customers, and hopefully Collectors. I hope this will help to get your foot in the door.
I want to make buying original artwork easy, affordable, and/or accessible. I know it's not always that way.
I want NYP to be mutually beneficial. I can make some dollars to support what I do and move some work that is filling my studio and you can adorn your walls with something you love and will enjoy forever.
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I'd love to hear your thoughts! You can comment or email me at beth@bethmeadows.com.

Nits: As in Low Treason, Matthew Stock is described again as Argus of the hundred eyes. Not only do I doubt the reference as one someone of Matthew Stock’s class would recognize, the use of that description in a second book makes me cringe a little. It smacks of either laziness, or “aren’t I a clever writer?” And why does the magistrate go nameless the entire book?
Matthew and Joan Stock are back on home turf in Familiar Spirits. The town of Chelmsford is caught up in witch fever. The opening chapter is a description of the hanging of three people, one of them a witch. Tourney gets this atmosphere right, describing the delight of the spectators and the business-like demeanor of the gaolers and hangman.
Being accused of witchcraft was a nasty business, a veritable catch-22. To prove you weren’t a witch you would have to go through trials which would surely kill you, if you survived then you were definitely a witch and would be hanged (or burned). Horrible stuff.
And, as is usual in witchcraft trials, suspicion falls upon everyone associated with the witch. Especially after Ursula’s master dies all of a sudden, after her ghost has been seen in the window by the master’s wife.
Then, the master’s wife’s sister and her family are accused. A mob forms to drive the witches out, etc. etc. etc.
Matthew takes nothing at face value and is perplexed at the ghostly sightings of Ursula, the death, and the burning of the barn behind the master’s home where Ursula was purported to have conducted her tricks.
Superstitious townspeople are all calling for righteous living to be returned to with a speedy witch trial and hangings at the end. Only Matthew is unconvinced. Not because he doesn’t believe in witches, but rather, because the testimony given in Ursula’s trial makes no coherent sense.
Against the wishes of the townspeople, including the aldermen, Matthew continues to investigate. What he turns up is more sinister than witchcraft, and does not come from Satan. One man’s cover-up kills two more innocent people and nearly gets his wife and in-laws hanged.
Although Tourney’s pseudo-Elizabethan continues to bother me, and this is a fairly straightforward whodunnit, I am still charmed by Matthew Stock, and his wife Joan. In addition, there is the kind and stubborn Jane Crispin who speaks up in court for herself. Something no woman would have done, would be allowed. In fact, she states that she is doomed either way, so why shouldn’t speak up and address the absurdities of the witch trial? Especially, the “specialist” who brings his assistant along because the boy has himself once been possessed by demons and can point out those who are also possessed.
I suppose these absurdities are no more absurd than some of the political yammerings we suffer through today.

Hempirical Evidence is the research journal of Nick Johnson, historian, editor, and author of the book Grass Roots: A History of Cannabis in the American West (Oregon State University Press, 2017).
On this blog you'll find short essays based on my ongoing research, book reviews, and commentary on current cannabis-related issues and events. The purpose of this blog is simply to present research and thoughtful opinions with the hope of encouraging intelligent, honest, and productive dialogue about cannabis and its place in world history and society.
In the fall of 2012, I came to Fort Collins, Colorado to get my MA in history at Colorado State University. That November, I witnessed the passage of Amendment 64, the ballot initiative that legalized the adult use of cannabis in Colorado. I was looking for something to write about for my master's thesis, and soon found that behind this momentous change in drug policy was a millennia-old relationship between a useful plant and its human propagators.
I brought my training in environmental history to bear on the cannabis story and completed my master's thesis, "Rocky Mountain High," in the spring of 2014. I argued that studying cannabis as a plant as well as a drug can allow us to better understand its various roles in American culture and society.
Grass Roots is a further exploration of the plant's historical and current impact on American society. The book examines cannabis's past through an agricultural lens in order to explain, critically engage, and offer possible solutions to the environmental and social challenges associated with the rise of America's newest legitimate cash crop.

After many killed and wounded, Hamas has still not surrendered nor have the people of Gaza rebelled.
Hamas is in no rush for a cease-fire despite being continually pummeled by Israeli attacks.
That is because it knows that Israel and the West are seeking a cease-fire, which would, once again, allow them to rebuild and rearm.
Mordechai Kedar, director of the Center for the Study of the Middle East and Islam and a research associate at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University recalled the time before Operation Protective Edge when Israeli media experts said how weak Hamas was, that Egypt was closing its tunnels – its lifeline to the outside world – and how it struggled to pay salaries, and so forth.
However, after many killed and wounded, Hamas has still not surrendered nor have the people of Gaza rebelled, Kedar pointed out.
This misconception can be attributed to looking at Hamas from one's own cultural vantage point and not from Hamas’s cultural prospective, he said, adding that for Hamas, they do not see their dead as dead, but as martyrs that are alive in the afterworld.
Furthermore, Kedar explained, after the current conflict ends, Iran, Qatar and Turkey will aid in rehabilitating the organization, by supplying weapons, training and equipment and material for building more tunnels.
Hamas knows its latitude for action, and observes how Israel has been announcing various temporary ceasefires as pressure from the US administration, Europe and the media grows.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s declaration that the objective of the war is to deal with the tunnels – not Hamas itself, is an objective not lost on the Hamas leadership.
“‘You don’t want to actually administer Gaza and you don’t want someone worse taking over,’ a senior Israeli official said this month when asked why Israel was not pursuing regime change against Hamas,’” The Daily Beast reported on Thursday.
Hamas understands Israel’s limits and so it continues to fire rockets and attack with the knowledge that its enemy is not interested in toppling it from power, but only to deal it a blow, from which it can recover.
Hamas values patience, believing that it could take many years to defeat Israel.
“Hamas, which determines how much effort to put into any confrontation on the basis of its overall significance, does not regard any struggle as ‘the battle’ to which everything must be dedicated with total disregard for the consequences; nor is any battle worth sacrificing the entire movement,” wrote Khaled Hroub, in his book, Hamas: Political Thought and Practice.
“Hamas’s goal has been to transform Israel from a land that attracts world Jewry to a land that repels them by making its residents insecure,” said Hroub.
Consequently, even though the rockets did not succeed to hit their targets as planned, it did cause major disruptions in Israel, including canceling many flights to and from Ben-Gurion Airport.
As international pressure builds on Israel to halt the offensive – it feels like déjà vu – a likely outcome being a cease-fire deal similar to that which calmed fighting during 2012’s Operation Pillar of Defense, but this time with a hostile Egyptian government.
“There were immediate questions about the durability of the deal. Hamas, which controls Gaza, has in the past not fulfilled less formal ceasefires by failing to halt all missile fire into Israel by breakaway Palestinian militants,” The New York Times wrote in November 2012 at the conclusion of the Israel-Hamas cease-fire agreement brokered mainly by the US and Egypt.
“This is a point on the way to a great defeat for Israel...Israel failed in all its objectives,” Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal declared after that agreement was reached, the Times reported. And so it seems he will issue the same declaration again.
The war in Gaza has shown the 2012 deal to be a failure for Israel, allowing Hamas to become even stronger than it was then.

To sum up the Platinum Preppy in a few words: they are inexpensive (SGD 4.00), capable of becoming eyedroppers (2 - 2.5 ml of ink) and they write really well (smooth and without skipping!). What more could a beginner fountain pen enthusiast ask for?
The Missive Maven's blogpost: http://www.missivemaven.com/2012/12/about-fabulous-platinum-preppy-fountain.html (also shows the Platinum Preppy with a very cool Platinum Gold Trim Converter - which makes for a very nice demonstrator pen as well).
If you've seen/read the guides above, or have been googling more about the Platinum Preppy for awhile now, you'll realise that all the conversions are similar and require the same materials; O-Rings and Silicone Grease.
In my own experience, those were things that a newbie fountain pen enthusiast like me (1) didn't have readily lying around the house and (2) might not know where to find straight away (unless at a specialist pen shop or purchasing them online - which takes days to come!).
My guide however does not require any of those things, and I offer substitute materials that do not suffer from the 2 problems I raised earlier. For an impatient person like myself, once I bought the Platinum Preppy, I wanted to jump straight into the conversion, and my guide therefore is a result of my desperation and impatience (Though I would like to think it was as a result of my ingenuity and innovation instead!).
The Plumber's Tape basically replaces the need for an O-Ring as it thickens the threads on the Platinum Preppy's Nib/Feed section to create a tight and even seal (if you don't have it at home, it is commonly sold in Hardware shops and are very cheap).
All you have to do is wind the Plumber's Tape around the threads (as seen in the picture above), I counted at least 10 - 12 rounds around the threads until I got a nice seal. You will know you've gotten a "nice and tight seal" once you screw on the Barrel of the pen and get a little bit of resistance while doing so.
Next, you'll need to dab a little bit of Vaseline on the threads you've just fattened up with the Plumber's Tape. Then use your finger (or a cotton-bud) to gently smooth the Vaseline into the grooves of the threads.
From what I learnt watching/reading the other guides, Silicone Grease is used because it is inert and does not react with the pen ink (which can be quite corrosive). Petroleum Jelly, i.e. the Vaseline, is also an inert substance and similarly won't react with the ink as well. I've used Vaseline on my Platinum Preppy for about a month prior to writing this, and to-date had not had any adverse ink-reactions and I find it works just as well as Silicone Grease.
Next, grab your eyedropper/syringe and fill the barrel of the pen up with ink. If you do not have an eyedropper/syringe handy, a trick that I used was to get a straw to draw up the ink, and thereafter (using your finger to cover the other end of the straw) transfer the ink into the barrel (by lifting your finger off the straw). As an eyedropper the Platinum Preppy can hold about 2 - 2.5 ml of ink (from my on-and-off usage of the pens over a month, I barely even got through half the ink!).
Close up your pen and there you have it, a Platinum Preppy Eyedropper Fountain Pen!
Because this is an eyedropper pen (unlike a converter or piston-filler pen, where ink is drawn up through the feed), you will need to wait for the ink to flow down into the feed and wait for the feed and the reservoir to get saturated first before you will be able to write smoothly (in the picture in the previous section above, you will see that there is black ink in-between the grey plastic - this is how you can tell if the feed/reservoir is saturated). To get the feed/reservoir saturated, just leave your pen (nib facing downwards) in a penholder for a few minutes.
It could also be the case that while applying the Vaseline/Silicone Grease - you managed to get some onto the end of the feed (which has happened to me before and in my defence, applying the Vaseline can be a very messy affair!), see above picture; this is where the Vaseline may have come into contact with the end of the feed.
If so, just pull out the Nib/Feed and give the end (i.e. the end without the Nib) a wipe and then stick it back into the pen and it should write smoothly thereafter!
This is where the penknife comes in useful. I used the blade and scraped along the barrel until I had got all the decals off (see picture above). I have read about people using thinner to rub the decals off too.
This is a picture of my Red Platinum Preppy which I had converted even without the Plumber's Tape (I used it without any incident for about 2 weeks - but it was mostly left in the penholder in my office). I just rubbed Vaseline onto the threads and screwed in the Barrel. You can do this without any risk of leakage because the threads of the Platinum Preppy are thin and tight enough to do so. But, I didn't like living so dangerously, so I applied Plumber's Tape to it as soon as I could.
Note: I have read online that Plumber's Tape tends to deteriorate over time, also given the corrosiveness of the ink, I would not find that to be surprising. From my experience (of about 1 month's worth of usage), I did not find too much deterioration such as to cause the pen to leak, the tape just becomes "thinner" after awhile (also natural given the "tightness" after screwing on the Barrel). But since the Vaseline is by itself good enough, I believe the deterioration of the plumber's tape shouldn't be too much of a problem.
As you can see above, there are 2 different models of the Platinum Preppy - as evidenced by the different decal designs (note however that both are "fine" or with line thickness of about 0.3 mm). The top most one was bought in Popular (Thomson Plaza) and the bottom one was bought from Tokyu Hands (Orchard Central). For the avoidance of confusion and doubt - the top one has the "powder-coated" nib, and the bottom one has the "silver polished" nib.
Pricing: The one from Popular was about SGD 4.50, while the one from Tokyu Hands was slightly cheaper at about SGD 3.70.
The above picture shows the polished silver Nib of the Platinum Preppy I had bought from Tokyu Hands, whereas if you had noticed, the one from Popular (which I also found to be the same as the ones I got from Kinokuniya in Takashimaya subsequently) come with a powder-coated nib (in the same colour as the colour/ink of the pen). I noticed that there are slight differences in the thickness of the resultant lines produced by each though the packaging indicates the same sized line thickness.
The black sample was written with the 0.3 powder-coated nib. The red sample with the 0.3 silver polished nib. And lastly, the blue sample with the 0.5 (Medium) powder-coated nib. I therefore found the silver nib to be more of an "EF" (extra fine) and the powder-coated nib to be a regular "F" (fine) nib.
The End. Please let me know what you think in your comments below. Thanks for reading!
Ooo very very detailed analysis, I love that! I have to admit, the plumber's tape is a rather novel approach, never thought of that. Tell me though, how does the pen behave when the ink is low? Does it spit ink? All my eyedroppers do, and it's annoying. I'm not sure how that can be avoided, it's physics.
This is a great conversion technique, especially using plumber tapes & vaseline, more common house hold items. I wish I saw your site before buying silicon grease, which was not expensive. My only problem is I converted the medium size (0.5mm) pen but ink is not running as smooth as I was using a cartridge. I have to press the pen harder to get more ink sometimes. Otherwise for a lazy person like me who does not like to change a cartridge, I love this inexpensive conversion. Highly recommended!
As for your Preppy, have you tried pulling out the nib and feed to wash the feed? Sometimes dirt or grease could be stuck in the feed channel and stop the ink from flowing smoothly.
The video is from the Fountain Pen Revolution channel, it has some helpful information, all the best!
That's a pretty creative solution, but I wouldn't recommend the use of Vaseline instead of silicon grease. From what I understand of the chemistry, Vaseline tends to react with rubber and some plastics, so in the long run, it may cause some damage to your pens.
Thanks JiggleLeaf! I did not know Vaseline was reactive with rubber and some plastics. I will bear that in mind. Guess nothing is ever absolute, and though Vaseline (i.e. petroleum jelly) is considered inert, there will always be exceptions =) thanks for letting me know!
Actually, Vaseline melts latex but spares most plastics, so unless your pen is a condom, you should be fine.
Thanks for sharing the details of your experiments! I was wondering about just using petroleum jelly myself. Now I feel solid about using it with my brush tip Preppy.
2) Blue-black, silver polished Medium 05 nib.
Apart from the differences in physical appearances brought out in the main review, THERE IS ONE OTHER MAJOR DIFFERENCE. THE POLISHED NIB PEN HAS 'MADE IN JAPAN' PRINTED ON THE BARREL BESIDE THE NAME PREPPY WHEREAS THE PEN WITH POWDER COATED NIB HAS NO SUCH WORDS AND ON THE SECOND PRINTED PANEL ON THE BARREL IT IS WRITTEN 'IMPORTED BY PLATINUM'. Please note the word 'imported'.
I CLEARLY SUSPECT THE POWDER COATED NIB VERSION OF PREPPY IS ACTUALLY MANUFACTURED IN CHINA AND IMPORTED INTO JAPAN BY PLATINUM. THAT IS WHY THEY DON'T WRITE 'MADE IN JAPAN' ON THIS VERSION. SO THIS VERSION SHOULD ACTUALLY BE STILL CHEAPER. THE SILVER POLISHED NIB VERSION IS ACTUALLY MADE IN JAPAN AS DECLARED ON THE PEN BARREL.
Also, look for other small differences in the two printed pens on both pens. You will find many, clearly indicating that there are TWO manufacturing plants involved.
I recommend you buy only the silver polished nib version of Preppy which is actually made in Japan.
I did the same thing with a Waterman Kultur: no problems at all.

Face it. Sooner or later, even the best employer has employees resign. They think that they've found a better opportunity or their spouse has accepted a job out-of-state. They decide to stay home with children or find themselves providing long-term care for a parent.
The reasons are endless for what causes an employee resignation. But, each employee resignation poses the employer with the same series of questions.
How do you announce the employee's resignation? Who needs to know what about the employee's resignation? When do you tell your employees about the employee's resignation? Should you let the employee post a say goodbye email on the company discussion board? What if the exiting employee asks you to write a generic reference letter?
Here are answers to the many questions you may have about employee resignation.
An employee has just resigned. The norm is that the employee tells you verbally that he or she is resigning from your company. Immediately ask the resigning employee for a resignation letter in writing with their final date of employment stated. This protects you from unemployment claims and other charges of impropriety.
An employee resignation always causes some disruption in the workflow, however, if the employee resigning is valued and you decide to let him or her work their final two weeks, they can do a lot to make the transition successful. This assumes that you have assessed that the individual will remain a positive contributor until their final day.
They can wrap up loose ends, provide details about ongoing projects, and email friends and coworkers about their leaving. Make sure that you assign employees to pick up the work of the departing employee. They will have a head start if they can confer with the person who is leaving to understand the challenges and details of their job.
These assigned replacement employees also need to see a list of the goals and responsibilities for which the position is responsible. It is to everyone's advantage that they understand the context, not just the daily to-dos, of the employee who is leaving the organization. This will enable them to better train his or her replacement when that person is hired.
Additionally, if the employee resigning has customer contact responsibilities, they can provide an introduction to the person who will pick up their responsibilities.
You might ask administrative employees, and others who have jobs with clear and documentable responsibilities, to create a procedure manual prior to their departure. But, hopefully, you already have these procedures documented and in place.
To notify other employees about an employee's resignation, start by telling the employee's own department about the employee's resignation. Perhaps call a quick meeting and inform the other employees that the employee's last day is in two weeks.
Tell them that you will appreciate their help to pick up any loose ends and inform them to whom the various responsibilities have been assigned.
Your other employees will also want to know the timeline for the replacement of the departing employee. Generally, good employees are quite willing to perform extra work or work longer hours to fill in, but they appreciate knowing the time frame during which this will be expected.
"Mary is leaving us to pursue new opportunities at x company. Her last day at our company is March 15. Please join me in wishing Mary tremendous success in her future endeavors. We will hold a say good-bye party at Tom's Tavern on Mary's last day which is the 22nd. Please join us to wish Mary success in her new employment and to say good-bye."
Of course, before you send this information out, check with Mary to see if she is comfortable with all of the above. She may even have a personal email address that she wants to share so people can stay in touch.
In any case, make sure that you know what she wants to be shared with her coworkers. Maintaining her confidentiality, if that is what she prefers, is strongly recommended.
Many of your employees probably knew that Mary was looking and they also know why. Employees like closure when a valued colleague leaves so your graciousness is not only appreciated, it sends a powerful message to the employees who remain.
Of course, you will hold an exit interview during which you will become clear about why the employee is leaving.
Making counteroffers or enticing Mary to stay is not recommended for employers even if you are losing a seriously valued employee. In her mind, she has already moved on. You need to look at the situation in the same way. Mary moved on mentally when she started looking for a new job or when she determined the personal response necessary in her life situation. The time to identify and solve problems is before Mary started looking.
The scenario changes if the employee resigning is not valued or you don't trust the person to carry out their responsibilities successfully during their two week's notice. In these cases, tell the employee that you will pay him or her for their time, but their services are no longer required.
Ask yourself why you continued to employ this individual under any circumstances to avoid repeating your mistake in the future. Firing an employee can be ethical, legal, moral, and appropriate.
To announce the employee's resignation, send out an immediate email to all employees stating that Mary has left the company to pursue new opportunities effective on today's date. You might add that you wish her success as she pursues her new opportunities.
Communicate also, where any of her responsibilities have been reassigned. You may want to add some details about how and when you plan to seek a replacement due to the employee resignation.

I used olive oil in the past but after coming across articles regarding mixing of oils by the mafia (http://www.foodrenegade.com/your-extravirgin-olive-oil-fake/), I've been avoiding it.
Since then, I've been using organic butter. It has worked very well. I am allergic to dairy (milk, cream, cheeses give me depression, brain fog, anxiety, and sometimes rashes).
The reason I kept butter in my diet was because I'm doing keto and I read that most of the milk solids (proteins and all - the reasons for the reactions) are removed from butter. It's essentially milk fat.
The effects I listed above are not present when I eat butter. Or so I thought?
I'm starting to feel different mentally after consuming it. Similar mental effects (brain fog especially), but less severe compared to milk and cream. Could I be becoming full on sensitive to all dairy products? I'm going to be cutting all dairy it out totally to see how I feel. This includes clarified butter as well.
This narrows down my choices even more.
I've tried cooking with coconut oil and the taste doesn't work for me.
So, I'd love some suggestions on other things I can use. Oils high in saturated fat that are somewhat affordable, too.
If you want to taste the olive oil, sure don't cook with it. But if you need a good cooking oil, olive oil is perfectly fine (assuming you're not deep-frying).
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Olive oil is by far the best.
Your prices are very odd.
California produced olive oils are great. My favorites are California Olive Ranch, and Napa Valley Organics. Very affordable for the quality you get. But don't cook with those, just use for drssing/finishing dishes.
Cooking: Ghee, refined coconut oil (if you don't like the taste of unrefined), Chosen Foods Avocado oil (high MUFA, totally neutral tasting, and high heat), red palm oil, tallow, lard, bacon fat! If you do cook your own tallow, lard, or save bacon fat, strain with a piece of flour sack towel in a mesh strainer, it'll come out nice and clean.
Don't use cooking fats if it is a problem. Bake, broil, steam, crockpot. Add some Avocado or similar oil after the fact if you need to have that oil on your food.
or my favorite, Bacon fat.
Rather than abandon olive oil out of fear I would suggest doing the modicum of research required to find a brand you both like and trust. Depending on where you live you could do domestic/local (i.e. if you live in California). If you're just looking for a halfway decent, day-to-day, oil then there are a hand full of large commercial brands with a good reputation. Kirkland EVOO from Coscto has a good reputation due to a number of studies (I believe done at UC Davis) ranking it as 'legit'.
If the article you linked is accurate then 70% of olive oil brands are adulterated, leaving 30% as potential providers. It'd be nice if the numbers were flipped, but it is far from a Herculean task to find one of those 30%. In fact, this is the golden case study of free market idealists. If the market (READ: you) truly values unadulterated olive oil, then it will do its research and vote with its dollars. The market then self regulates and soon only the 'pure' brands can afford to do business.
go to a butcher (preferably one who sells grass fed/pastured animal parts, but it doesn't have to be) and see what price you can get suet/beef fat for. If you get that, look up the tallow recipe on Paul jaminets website. For me, a litre of home rendered grass fed tallow ends up costing a little over 3 bucks, as aposed to around 20 and up for olive oil, 20 to over 40 dollars for a litre of coconut oil, depending on quality, and almost 15 dollars for a litre of organic butter. Also, tallow has one of the best fatty acid profiles of any fat, with plenty of CLA, stearic acid, MUFAs, extremely little polyunsaturated fats with a good 6 to 3 ratio, also, it's got a smoke point of over 450 degrees.
I feel crappy with regular butter, but ghee from grass fed cows I have no issue with. I use EV olive oil, ghee, tallow or duck fat if I have it, and extra virgin raw organic coconut oil.
Have you tried deoderized coconut oil? It doesn't taste like coconuts.
Use Ghee. Butter does have lactose, milk proteins. Ghee is refined Butter which doesn't have those things. For low heat cooking you can use Olive Oil, as well as Tallow.
Stick with olive oil, probably the best oil out there.

TONIGHT, MAY 23rd at 12AM!
New York based producers and DJ trio Cash Cash (comprised of JP Makhlouf, Alex Makhlouf and Sam Frisch) are set to headline Insomniac’s Awakening series tonight at Exchange in Los Angeles, CA. The show comes on the heels of the latest release of the band’s new four-track EP on Big Beat Records named after their destined festival anthem, “Lightning” which features iconic vocals from Goo Goo Dolls’ front-man, John Rzeznik and has been described as “an infectious radio smash destined for inspiring festival-sized sing-a-longs throughout the summer” by Dancing Astronaut.
The new EP voyages across Cash Cash’s repertoire; including a “party rockin’ monster” remix from Candyland & DotEXE for “Overtime” exclusive to iTunes, a new version of their pop radio success story single, “Take Me Home” from Patrick Hagenaar along with two new takes on “Satellite” from the likes of Quilinez as well as an additional Beatport exclusive from Häxeri.

Place required: A town or city.
An extremely simple game of not being eaten by zombies on the city streets. I've been playing this idly since 2004.
Walk through a city maintaining a distance of at least six feet from everyone you meet, and avoid attracting attention. If you get too close to someone, or if somebody looks at you for crossing the street to avoid them, then the horde is alerted and you lose the game.
Either pick a destination and try to reach it alive, or make your unguided way through the city and see how long you last.
If playing with others, you can either play competitively (split up, and the first person to make it to an agreed destination alive is the winner) or collaboratively in small groups. If you're working as a team, whoever is nearest to the zombie gets killed by it; that player becomes a "tame" zombie for the remainder of the game - they are ignored by zombies, can't use weapons and (if you like) can only communicate by groaning.
Weapons: If you pass within a few feet of a "service" vehicle (a maintenance van, a post van, a council truck, etc), or pass by an equivalent building, you gain a single one-shot improvised weapon that you can use to take out a single zombie that's getting too close. If you pass a police car or a police station, you instead gain three one-shot weapons. You can't take weapons from the same source more than once, and you can carry up to five - keep track of them in your head or on your fingers.
Hunters: Pick a clear and visible trait that you'd expect to find on around one in ten of the people you see on the street ("wearing a hat", "wearing something bright red", "carrying a white bag", etc.). Any people who fit this description are Hunter zombies - they can't be killed by weapons, and they kill you outright rather than wounding you.
It's an easy-to-memorise game, but here's a printable rules card, if anyone wants to spread the word, or work it into a larger event. It's sized to fit on Avery Template L7160 address labels.
A cut-down ruleset was put on a sticker as part of Hide&Seek's Tiny Games for Brighton in 2013. It also appeared in H&S's Tiny Games app that year.

I recently got a comment on my blog about tips and tricks to hack mobiles which will let people get free sms or gprs or even free talk time from all the major providers. But the site mentioned in the comments was password protected and the person wanted you to recharge his phone to get username and passwords to get into the site.
Seriously this is the guy who will provide you free sms or gprs or even talk time but he himself asks for recharges from people.
I strongly advice people not to fall for these tricks even if they have some hacks be very careful using them.
The mobile service providers ask all the details like address proof and photos for a reason. And don't forget they have all these details about you. And its very easy for them to track you down and make you pay.
So don't try these unless you really want to get into trouble.

Ohio Civil Rights Commission dismisses landlords' complaint about cleanup legislation.
CHILLICOTHE – A complaint filed by two area landlords arguing the City of Chillicothe's meth lab cleanup ordinance is discriminatory was shot down by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission.
In a letter of determination sent in late October to landlords Mike McCoy and Joe Sharp and to city Law Director Sherri Rutherford, the commission ruled after an investigation that the complaint filed by McCoy and Sharp failed to meet three criteria to show the ordinance was discriminatory.
At issue was the law passed in March mandating that property owners are liable for paying for the cost of hazardous material cleanup and recovery efforts resulting from meth labs discovered on their properties once identified by law enforcement. McCoy and Sharp were vocal opponents of the legislation as it worked through the council process, saying it unfairly targeted minorities and low-income residents by causing landlords to raise rents to cover potential costs and possibly making it more difficult for some minorities to pass a more rigorous landlord screening process.
The Civil Rights Commission, in the findings of fact from its investigation, found that the landlords' claims were not supported by the evidence, nor had the elements to make a case of an adverse impact on minorities or low-income residents for three reasons.
First, the commission found the city had a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for enacting the legislation, having dealt with paying for hazardous material cleanup of area meth labs in the past.
"The ordinance permits the (city) to seek recovery of these costs, first from the tenant, and then from the owner of the property if the tenant is unable to pay," the decision reads. "The plain language of the ordinance does not require or identifies any particular action that any landlord must take to avoid being in a position of being liable for these potential costs."
In other words, the ordinance does not tell landlords how to screen potential tenants, it just informs them of the potential consequences if a meth lab is discovered on their property.
Second, the commission determined that since there have been no meth labs located within the city known to police since the ordinance went into effect. As a result, there's no way to show that there has been any discriminatory harm to minorities or low-income residents by the law's enactment.
Finally, the commission ruled that it is possible for landlords to conduct screening of potential tenants without having a discriminatory effect.
"Evidence shows that it is possible when conducting criminal background checks to identify persons who have been previously convicted on counts of methamphetamine manufacturing, as opposed to simple drug use or distribution," the commission stated. "Evidence shows that the overwhelming majority of persons convicted of methamphetamine-related charges are Caucasian (96 percent), whereas persons convicted of all drug use or distribution are disproportionately African-American or other minority."
The commission went on to say that its investigation revealed that "one of the charging parties does not uniformly apply any background checks at all, much less screen out persons with previous convictions," and that the percentage of minorities renting from McCoy and Sharp mirrors the approximate percentage of the minority population of the county.
When the factors were taken as a whole, the commission concluded the city's ordinance is not an unlawful discriminatory act and does not require any other person to engage in discriminatory behavior against any class of people.
"Therefore, the Commission finds no credible information supporting Charging Party's allegation of unlawful activity," the commission concluded.

The Evil Within has been released on Steam and in some other regions. As promised, Bethesda has released a list of console commands and cheats that allow PC gamers to unlock the FPS (default runs at 30FPS), free camera, change the aspect ratio and some cheats like God Mode, No Clip and many more.
Once the game has launched, hit the Insert key to bring down the developer console.
Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.
-1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks (we’re going to fix these).
0: This fully unlocks the FPS. We do not recommend playing above 60. We will not fix any issues above 60.
Time stops. Note there is a bug right now where using this command causes a UI element to appear on screen. We’re looking to fix that in the near future.
Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably more comfortable for those who don’t want the bars.
