Strangers become kindreds in mere seconds– a look, a glance, a knowing of the heart connects us, even if we’ve never met before. In my seven years navigating the world as a bereaved parent, I am continually struck by the power of the bond between bereaved parents. Bereaved parents share an unspeakable bond. My son’s life was cut irreversibly short, but his love lives on forever. Just because it might make you uncomfortable, doesn’t make him matter any less. Our culture isn’t so great about hearing about children gone too soon, but that doesn’t stop me from saying my son’s name and sharing his love and light everywhere I go. I love my child just as much as you love yours– the only difference is mine lives in heaven and talking about about him is unfortunately quite taboo in our culture. I want to speak about my deceased children as normally and naturally as you speak of your living ones. I want to say and hear his name just the same as non-bereaved parents do. Just as parents of living children unconditionally love their children always and forever, so do bereaved parents. There will never come a day, hour, minute or second I stop loving or thinking about my son. If you’d like an inside look into why the loss of a child is a grief that lasts a lifetime, here is what I’ve learned in my seven years of trekking through the unimaginable. Compassion and love, not advice, are needed. If you love a bereaved parent or know someone who does, remember that even his or her “good” days are harder than you could ever imagine.

If you are using the program, please send a postcard to Hai Li With the click of a button, you can change the case structure of all filenames/folders in any given directory (and subdirectories, too)! It’s an open and shut case. Well, no matter which of those groups you fall into, this utility will help. And then there’s the splitter group who wants only the first letters of a folder/filename capitalized. Some users like their folders and filenames to contain nothing but lowercase letters other users we want to see each character capitalized. It supports drag-and-drop renaming from Windows Explorer, and can even work its magic on subfolders. The tiny application lets you quickly select a group of files and change them all to lowercase, uppercase, capital case, or word-capital case. Change Case is a timesaving utility that can automatically correct the case of filenames and folders automatically, eliminating the tedious task of renaming altogether. If you’ve ever transferred HTML files to a machine that distinguishes between upper and lower case, you know the frustration of having to change all the filenames to accommodate the differences in systems.

Each of the 12 teams at launch will have their own cheerleaders, stadium, campaign, and multiplayer modes. Unfortunately the new trailer doesn’t show much in terms of actual gameplay, but it does confirm that the game will launch with 12 different teams – including the Black Orc and Imperial Nobility teams already confirmed as the box teams for the new edition of Blood Bowl.įurthermore, each team can expect far greater levels of support within the game itself. The rumors surrounding the release have been in full swing in recent weeks, after the official ruleset for the next version of the tabletop game leaked online. The highlight is customisation, especially of the in-match UI, because that will allow players to tailor their games to their preferred settings and will hopefully keep the majority of players happy if they’re willing to tinker.During the opening night of Gamescom, Nacon and Cyanide released the first official teaser trailer for the upcoming release of Blood Bowl 3, the video-game adaptation of Games Workshops popular tabletop sports strategy hybrid, Blood Bowl. But the studio seems to have taken the community’s feedback on board (“constructive criticism,” as Brésard generously calls it), and the game looks much better for it. I haven’t even touched on single-player (the majority of players probably won’t either) or Brésard’s hopes that Cyanide will add more teams as time goes on (he wouldn’t give me even a hint as to whether my loyal Norse warriors would be taking to the digital pitch). The real test of this will be when players are populating the servers and setting up their own competitions – that’s what’s kept the Blood Bowl community alive for so many years – but I’m currently optimistic. On the other end of the spectrum, players wanting to join can search for a league by name, or set their parameters to narrow down their search. You can select the number of participants, the style of tournament, and a host of other options to create the perfect competition. The final thing to note is the competitions Blood Bowl 3 has a robust system for organising and joining tournaments. Your players will be slipping on the ice of the frozen pitches, and Brésard even explained to me how a kraken’s tentacles emerge around the perimeter of the Dark Elf pitch to add some Hollywood excitement to proceedings. And yes, the different pitches come with different special rules akin to those in the tabletop version. Pitches, stands, coaches, cheerleaders, balls, emotes, and everything else that you could possibly need to aid your team are also customisable, with unique options for all races (Black Orcs, Chaos Chosen, Chaos Renegades, Imperial Nobility, Dark Elf, Dwarfs, Elven Union, Humans, Nurgle, Old World Alliance, Orcs, and Skaven). If you still don’t like it, you can probably turn it off anyway. The double dice rolls - which showed a pair of dice rolling, but had you click on a different pair of dice to choose the result - has thankfully been removed, and the chat function in the bottom left corner of the screen is now much less intrusive. The cluttered UI in matches has been pared back, and is much less confusing, but players also have the option to turn basically every menu or icon on or off at will. Customisation really is the name of the game in this latest iteration of Blood Bowl 3, the full release of which was delayed until “later in 2022” in November last year. Within the TB-DM group, those known to be diabetic before incident TB (KDM) exhibited significantly higher levels of MMP-1, - 2, - 10 and - 12 at baseline and of MMP-1 and -3 post-treatment compared to those newly diagnosed with DM (NDM). Similarly, the levels of MMP -1, - 2, - 3 and - 8 exhibited a significant positive relationship with bacterial burden and HbA1c levels at baseline but not post-treatment. Moreover, the levels of MMP-1, - 2, - 3, - 9 and - 12 were significantly higher in TB-DM individuals with cavitary disease and/or bilateral disease at baseline but not post-treatment. Our findings indicate that ATT is associated with a significant reduction in the levels of MMP-1, - 2, - 3, - 8 and - 13 post-treatment. To understand the effect of standard anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT) on these MMP levels in TB-DM, we measured the levels of MMPs at the end of treatment (post-treatment). To study the association of MMP levels with severity and extent of disease as well as bacterial burden in TB-DM, we examined the systemic levels of MMP-1, - 2, - 3, - 7, - 8, - 9, - 10, - 12 and - 13 in individuals with TB-DM and compared them to those with TB alone (TB) or healthy controls (HC).Ĭirculating levels of MMP-1, - 2, - 3, - 7, - 10 and - 12 were significantly higher in TB-DM compared to both TB and HC and MMP -13 levels were higher in comparison to HC alone. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are considered to be key mediators of tuberculosis (TB) pathology but their role in tuberculosis - diabetes comorbidity (TB-DM) is not well understood. The Storyboard is another one exciting integrated feature of Celtx this feature helps you to create a storyboard in Celtx by using images (From System Drive) /sketches to your script according to the relevant shots and scenes.

It’s a published statement on a specific page which confirms that service has never received any secret warrant till date. But they are the landing pages which are advertised by the VPN providers to maintain their privacy. Here, Warrant Canaries come in, and it’s not related to logging any information regarding connection or activity. Due to these secret warrants, law enforcement agencies are allowed to demand any information of the ISP’s or VPN’s users for investigation without informing the target user or anyone else. ISPs and VPN services are liable to receive “secret warrants” in the form of national security letters or government subpoenas, mostly which are in a gag order from the countries especially when it comes under 5/9/14 Jurisdictions. Generally, there are two different types of VPN logs, namely, Usage/Activity Logs which invades privacy and then Connection Logs which are quite harmless and are often deleted after one or two weeks. It doesn’t mean that a VPN should not be used and some are even transparent about their logging activity, but you must be aware whether it’s a reliable product. And, until an incident occurs such as a subpoena from the Government, no one can tell whether a VPN provider is entirely safe or not. So, before getting into which VPN providers are safe and which are not, let’s first cover the different types of VPN logs that VPN providers keep, as there’s a handful of VPN providers who have been put to the test and verified their Zero Log Policy claims. However, if any provider keeps an extensive number of logs or the provider comes under 5, 9 & 14 eyes jurisdictions due to which they have to disclose transparency reports, then it’s better to avoid those VPN providers.Īlso, different VPN providers do different types of logging activities. But it doesn’t mean that its necessarily a bad thing as long as actual addresses or phone numbers are not logged. For instance, whenever a user contacts the support team for their queries or issues to be resolved, VPN providers do try to know what’s creating the issue to resolve them and for that, they do ask at least some details, of which certain logs are kept for a limited time. The primary strikes are fast, springing out horizontally and bouncing off the target to return to the grip, and can be done with either hand to surprise the opponent. The grip in Whiskey Stick is similar to the bayonet grip we use in Bartitsu, but with hands a bit closer together. My personal introduction to Irish stick fighting was from Glen Doyle, whose clan developed their own approach to the use of the shillelagh called Rince an Bhata Uisce Bheatha (pronounced rinkan watta ishka vaaha), which is Gaelic for Whiskey Stick Dancing. Strikes in friendly contests would be to knock off the hat, but of course that is to simulate a strike to the head. The style represented in many old manuals is a one-handed grip somewhere between the halfway point and about two-thirds down from the knob end. I think that Antrim Bata is one of those traditions that should be safeguarded, and I hope that it can once again be valued in its native country.” I asked Maxim about his practice, and he wisely said, “Sometimes we forget about living traditions, and the importance of keeping them alive as sources or oral history. The particular variation is called Antrim bata because it is from county Antrim, or Tickety-boo, after a historic fighter. Here’s a short video from a maker of authentic sticks in Ireland:įor an excellent history and introduction to Irish stick fighting, here’s an article from expert Maxime Chouinard: What is Irish Stick Fighting? His website,, represents his martial arts studio in Kingston, Ontario. Even those of artificial construction can have troublesome sharp protrusions that purport to be “authentic” but should be avoided. The thorns do not add significantly to the effectiveness of the blow, and can make the stick more difficult to handle. Some sticks seen in photos and available today retain their thorny protrusions, but a good fighting stick would have these smoothed down. From this amazing variety, we’ll focus on the most cane-like of them, as the Irish had to disguise their weapon as a common walking stick from the occupying English. Medieval maces are related to older clubs, and some cultures without metal-working used knobsticks - for example, the Maori taiaha. Sometimes called “knobsticks”, fighting with a heavy stick is common to many cultures. Generally, the root knob is at one end and some are loaded, that is, impregnated with lead. Shorter ones, about two feet long, would be called kipeen. Longer sticks were called wattles and could be six or eight feet long. The shillelagh itself is a single piece of blackthorn or oak about three feet long. As Jon Mills explained in his post, the general Irish term for stick fighting is Bataireacht. Patrick’s Day was this week, so let’s celebrate the shillelagh, or blackthorn walking stick and its fighting style. Ī woman who was scorned by her ex-boyfriend was arrested on Monday for burning down the cabin where he lived, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.

Whatever happens to post-election fiscal cliff negotiations in Washington, one previously scorned issue may be finally closer to resolution - immigration reform. Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, America needs new enemies upon whom we can dump our never-ending supply of scorn and bile.

The following is in reply to sun-king's earlier post of … thanks. So this is my review over, it has so much potential but is let down by the user experience. A man called Martin came up with some excellent proposals for changes but from what I understand, the diehards who do not want to change dismissed the proposals which was very sad indeed.Īs a development team, I would advise that minority options like the versions for OS/2 (does anyone even use this anymore) be dropped and they focus their attentions on where it is being downloaded, namely Linux and Mac (Mac folk stick to what they know, InDesign and Pages). The designers really do need to take a long hard look at the UI. There is so much wasted space it is ridiculous. So much space is wasted using words when icons will do. The biggest failing though is the UI overall. Scribus would do well to assign menus as they are found (as far as possible) from the world class leading InDesign or use similar terminology, for example, when creating multi-column pages, the accurate designation for the space between the columns is gutter, not gap. Or to add padding to a image frame when using text wrap you have to dig into a toolbox for something called counter lines and then expand them, there is no simple option for simply called padding. This lack of intuition is compounded by the fact that things which should belong together are not, for example to edit master pages you would expect it to be on the pages menu, but no, it's on the edit menu. Sure QT is cross platform but its basic widgets are quite ugly in my opinion which leads to an application which appears very dated and un-intuitive. I suspect that much of this is down to the QT framework which it uses. I disagree, it's no more uphill then becoming competent with InDesign, but it really is the user interface (UI) which lets this package down. Some people complain and say, the learning curve is too hard. People rave about GIMP (photoshop alternative) and InkScape (Illustrator alternative) and the myriad opensource video editors, but it seems when it comes to layout and typesetting that there is only Scribus.Īfter having used it on and off for around two years, I finally feel I am ready to give a proper review.įeatures wise it is absolutely loaded, however it is at this time let down by its interface. I installed Scribus to ascertain what the OpenSource community was providing. For my more professional tasks I have (and continue) to use CS6, so am very familiar with professional software. For years, I have been running Adobe software. In my house I have quite a bit of software, some good, some bad. I wish you well and hope you find a following of users. Thanks for putting in the effort you do in producing the application. There are pleant of more suitable offering around and if you are profiting from using them, the high cost won't be a hurdle. Sure, I could get picky that some of my often used and much liked facilities like vertical justification are missing but in truth, only high level publishers would need them and Scribus is - I think, not aimed at that part of the market.įor someone cash poor and time rich who wants to publish the local Church newsletter and similar, this could well bea very suitabl answer for them. It certainly does everything a basic publisher needs and does it well. I congratulate the authors of Scribus in producing an accurate, stable alternative to current expensive and complicated offerings. I can't afford the time to adapt to Gimp either so for that reason continue with the constant upgrade mess the big A find so profitable. I doubt I'll find the time to teach myself to use Scribus because of the unfamiliar way it works. Maybe by the time someone gets comfortable enough to use Scribus on a daily basis, it will work a little faster in some areas I found it wanting in. It took me 4 times as long as with software I'm familiar with. I get very angry watching someone I'm paying $45 an hour for, struggle with unfamiliar menus wiht thefew applications I use that are not MS GUI menu compliant. This is a huge help for Office temps and casual employees. THe standard Microsoft GUI may not be perfect but it does serve the purpose of having programs that comply with it, all work with the same menu structure. What I find unnerving about both gimp and Scribus is the adoption of a workin method that leaves a lot to be desired. I'm thinking that anyone who has mastered Gimp, will have no trouble eventually mastering Scribus.
