Places Leisure donate £25k of food and drink to local foodbanks

Find out more

Following the closure of all leisure centres late on Friday 20th March, Places Leisure have focussed their efforts on responding to community needs by donating food and drink to the value of circa £25,000 to local foodbanks.

More than 100 Places Leisure venues were forced to close on Friday 20 March due to the latest government directive to restrict social gatherings in the hope of minimising the transition of coronavirus. This action meant that the 35 centres with cafés were left with stock of fresh food and foodstuffs that would potentially go to waste if not redistributed. Fortunately, the stock has been donated to charities in the communities where the centres are based, giving local foodbanks a much-needed boost at this difficult time.

Chris Cregg, Head of Catering and Retail at Places Leisure, said: “We did not hesitate to instruct all of our leisure centres with cafés to donate, within food safety guidelines, our stocks of fresh food and foodstuffs to those in need within their communities. Vending machine stock from all our centres is also being donated.

“Foodbanks in particular are struggling at this time to acquire foods for re-distribution and coupled with a shortage of volunteers due to their regular teams being in the ‘at risk’ category, they need all the support that can be offered.”

As a charitable social enterprise, Places Leisure reinvests its profits back into the sports and leisure facilities that it operates in partnership with 36 local authorities across the UK. It is proud to have a positive social impact on the health of the communities it serves.

Out-of-season player development

Running an offense – any offense – isn’t just about having players run from A to B and set a screen for C. It’s about enabling players to run the offense to their best ability by developing their fundamentals and planning how to teach the different parts of the offense.

With the Dribble Drive motion there are some options that are easier for the players to run than others – but at the same time the easy options will make the offense very predictable. That’s why the easy options should be taught last, to enable the players to familiarize themselves with all the other options first.

Over time a staggered teaching method will make the offense run better – and we all know it’s the last month of the season that counts, not the first.

In- and Out-of-Season Player Development

I think there are two kinds of player development: In-practice and out-of-practice development. In-practice the Dribble Drive is really good – out-of-practice it’s excellent!

The in-practice development can be very good no matter which offense you run, but I will maintain that a lot of work on systems takes time away from teaching fundamentals and skills. If you can run a system that teaches fundamentals and reads at the same time you’ll have more development.

The dribble drive is such an offense – offenses like Bill Self’s High/Low, Majerus’ Utah offenses, the Flex and many others are not. Majerus’ offense is so complicated and hard to learn that some op-tions were not available for Freshmen to run. It just takes so much time to teach, that development easily suffers.

Out-of-practice the strength of the Dribble Drive is that it shows the players which skills are needed, and if they want to play they go work on these skills. I’ve run screening offenses before, and it wasn’t clear in the same way to players what they had to work on. Say in the flex, do you go practice screens in the summer?

To me, working with the Dribble Drive has shown how the offense has really proved effective in player development. Players who a year ago were shooters have developed their driving skills, players who were penetrators have spent the summer in the gym shooting threes, and players who were playing in the post when they were younger have developed a perimeter game.

The strength of the offense is that it shows the players which skills are needed, and if they want to play they go work on them.

Tell them early on in the year that the penetrators who can shoot and shooters, who can penetrate, will play. You’ll notice that in the few months before the season there’s every chance that they will improve out of sheer hard work!

As far as having no shooters: Are you encouraging the kids who can’t shoot to stay that way by running an offense where they don’t shoot the ball? If they can’t see how the skill of shooting will benefit them they’ll stay bad shooters. If they knew in March that to play next year they’d have to be able to shoot they might be shooters by then.

I think it comes down to inspiring players to improve on their own, and not least getting across to players what they have to work on to get better. I do think the dribble drive has an advantage here.

I truly think players adapt to what their coach expect of them. If the coach wants them to penetrate they will develop that skill far faster than you’d expect!

NBA Study – High Fives May Win Games

Henry Abbott, ESPN (

Players patting each other on the butt may be funny. But what’s not funny is winning games, and the evidence suggests that teammates who touch each other liberally on the court — high-fives, fist-bumps, hugs, pats and the like — tend to do that better than players who don’t.

Benedict Carey reports in The New York Times:

Michael W. Kraus led a research team that coded every bump, hug and high five in a single game played by each team in the National Basketball Association early last season.

In a paper due out this year in the journal Emotion, Mr. Kraus and his co-authors, Cassy Huang and Dr. Keltner, report that with a few exceptions, good teams tended to be touchier than bad ones. The most touch-bonded teams were the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, currently two of the league’s top teams; at the bottom were the mediocre Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Bobcats.

The same was true, more or less, for players. The touchiest player was Kevin Garnett, the Celtics’ star big man, followed by star forwards Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors and Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz. “Within 600 milliseconds of shooting a free throw, Garnett has reached out and touched four guys,” Dr. Keltner said.

To correct for the possibility that the better teams touch more often simply because they are winning, the researchers rated performance based not on points or victories but on a sophisticated measure of how efficiently players and teams managed the ball — their ratio of assists to giveaways, for example. And even after the high expectations surrounding the more talented teams were taken into account, the correlation persisted. Players who made contact with teammates most consistently and longest tended to rate highest on measures of performance, and the teams with those players seemed to get the most out of their talent.

It’s a powerful form of communication that may do a lot to uplift and inspire teammates.

There are many great examples of this, including LeBron James, who clearly lives in the land of 10,000 physical greetings. TrueHoop reader Christopher, who first made me aware of this study, remembers another all-timer: “Think of Magic Johnson’s first pro game. Kareem hits the game winner, and the irrepressible rookie won’t stop hugging him. … Kareem’s entire shell started to crack a bit that day, but more importantly the nation started to see Magic’s HUGE spirit and love of the game.”

As a supportive teammate, one of my favorite players has always been Tim Duncan. He’s always putting an arm around teammates’ shoulders and the like. I once asked him about an episode at Wake Forest. Duncan’s teammate Randolph Childress was feeling down. Coach Dave Odom was talking to Childress and Duncan. Childress stared at the floor. As they both listened to Odom, Duncan reached out a hand and lifted Childress’ chin, steering Childress’ face towards his coach’s.

Not just anyone can do that. It’s rude and bold, done poorly. But Duncan is exploding with love and support for his teammates. It was intended, Duncan insisted to me later, not to correct Childress for disrespecting the coach in some way (he couldn’t even imagine that anyone would think that) but to uplift Childress. To inspire him. To increase his self-confidence. It’s not hard for me to believe having a player behaving like that could make a team perform better, over time, by keeping everyone as motivated and connected as could be.

So maybe the researchers will find that the hugs cause the wins. But I’d guess it would also be worth investigating the idea that players who touch each other are just the kind of fearless players who make inspiring leaders. Maybe identifying players who touch each other is a crude way to identify those who aren’t sweating the small stuff — and everyone likes being around people like that.

100% of the phish seen by the Cofense Phishing Defense Center (PDC) have been found in environments protected by Secure Email Gateways (SEGs), were reported by humans, and automatically analyzed and dispositioned by Cofense Triage.

Cofense solutions enable organizations to identify, analyze, and quarantine email threats in minutes.

Are phishing emails evading your Proofpoint Secure Email Gateway? The following are examples of phishing emails seen by the PDC in environments protected by Proofpoint. We note a preponderance of malware this week, both via attachment and image links. With security teams overloaded with phishing response, perhaps Cofense Intelligence can help?

sample phish delivers a .xxe attachment that uses guloader to install the remcos remote access trojan

TYPE: Malware – Remcos

DESCRIPTION: This phish reminds us of an important lesson: always do the needful. This does not include extracting the attached .xxe file, since that will execute GuLoader and download the Remcos Remote Access Trojan. And who needs that?

sample phish uses an image link to deliver the pyrogenic stealer

TYPE: Malware – Pyrogenic Stealer

DESCRIPTION: It’s a good thing the confidentiality notice in this email absolves the sender of any virus being passed on. This payment-themed phish provides what looks like a poorly rendered PDF, but is instead an image with a link to a Pyrogenic Stealer download.

sample phish uses an image link to deliver the nanocore remote access trojan

TYPE: Malware – NanoCore

DESCRIPTION: Another image link designed to look like an attachment. This one includes a very friendly “DOWNLOAD” instruction. Very helpful if you’re looking to download the NanoCore Remote Access Trojan, something we saw resurface in March of 2018.

sample phising in the finnish language uses an embedded url to deliver agent tesla

TYPE: Malware – Agent Tesla

DESCRIPTION: This phish is bad from start to finish (see what I did there?). Promising a shipping document with tracking number, it actually delivers a link to the Agent Tesla keylogger. Our Phish Fryday podcast gave it some good coverage earlier in the year.

sample phish delivers the wsh remote access troja with an embedded url

TYPE: Malware – WSH RAT

DESCRIPTION: Hoping to keep your balance up to date? Be careful what you wish for. This payment-themed phish delivers a link to the WSH Remote Access Trojan. We discussed this variant of the Houdini Worm back in 2019.

sample phish in italian delivers a jnlp file leading to the ursnif malware

TYPE: Malware – Ursnif

DESCRIPTION: My Italian is a bit rusty. Ok, non-existent. But a translation tells me this is a refund from the Italian social security agency. The attached .jnlp shortcut file leads to a JAR Downloader that then installs and runs the Ursnif malware. We’ve seen Italian speakers targeted with Ursnif before.

sample phish steals credentials with a dropbox hosted pdf

TYPE: Credential Theft

DESCRIPTION: You knew we wouldn’t make it through an entire post without a credential phish. This attack leverages trust in the Dropbox logo but actually uses Google Cloud Storage to host a linked PDF. The supposed “business proposal” will steal your credentials faster than you can say trusted cloud storage.

Malicious emails continue to reach user inboxes, increasing the risk of account compromise, data breach, and ransomware attack. The same patterns and techniques are used week after week.

Cofense recommends that organizations train their personnel to identify and empower them to report these suspicious emails. Cofense PhishMe® customers should use SEG Miss templates to raise awareness of these attacks. Organizations should also invest in Cofense Triage and Cofense Vision to quickly analyze and quarantine the phishing attacks that evade Secure Email Gateways.

Founder Jeff Cohn featured in Healthcare Business Today

How has stock photography changed the healthcare landscape?

Across the board, the use of stock photography is oversaturated. Yet, one market seems to be at the tail end of this trend more than others: healthcare.

There is something about every healthcare brand that makes it unique, but why aren’t photographs in advertisements reflecting that? Our Jeff Cohn thinks this may be due to market driving forces, federal and state regulations, and evolving insurance policies.

Healthcare providers certainly feel the pressure — and award-winning marketing is far from their top priority. Over at COHN, we treat our healthcare brands differently: recognizing their unique story and positioning.

That’s why leading healthcare publication Healthcare Business Today interviewed Jeff to weigh in on stock photography in the industry.

As one of our key verticals, we know how important it is to differentiate your healthcare brand from others. In fact, COHN Marketing was the winner of several awards this spring, including GOLD at the Healthcare Advertising Awards and GOLD at the Hermes Creative Awards.

“When healthcare brands choose innovative marketing strategies over stock photos, they elevate the impression patients and practitioners have of them,” Jeff said.

Head over to Healthcare Business Today to read Jeff’s piece!

Japan’s Monacoin falls victim to malicious mining attack

A Japanese developed cryptocurrency has become the latest to fall victim to a so-called selfish mining attack, resulting in an estimate $90,000 of damage across their network.

Monacoin announced they had gained control of the attack on May 18, which is thought to have run between May 13 and 15. The attack has been characterised as a selfish mining attack, an attack where a miner successfully uncovers a block, but keeps this hidden from the wider mining community.

This allows the attacker to continue pursuing new blocks, which allows them to create a new branch of the chain, before other miners discover the attack. The chain with the most number of blocks has the most “proof of work”, and is therefore deemed to be the ‘correct’ chain—a feature Monacoin shares with most other cryptocurrencies.

When the attack is revealed, any blocks uncovered by other miners during the intervening period are deemed to be invalid. Malicious actors use this to their advantage, either by allowing them to effectively transact in the knowledge that specific blocks are invalid, or simply as an act of vandalism against a particular cryptocurrency.

In the Monacoin attack, the stolen coins were moved through offshore exchanges including Livecoin, in an attempt to swap them out for other cryptocurrencies before the attack was discovered.

While the identity of the malicious miner remains unclear, it appears as though they were able to command as much as 57% of the hash rate at peak—a move which would require significant processing clout.

The attack is deemed to have been stopped since May 19, although Monacoin is yet to post any confirmed solutions to the problem. Monacoin deposits have now been frozen across most cryptocurrency exchanges pending resolution and improvements in their infrastructure to prevent similar attacks in future.

Monacoin balances are thought to be safe for the time being, but the attack raises further concerns about the possible vulnerability in other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin. Dr. Craig Wright, chief scientist of nChain, has already placed the matter to the grave, calling it a non-issue since it is more effective to attack or corrupt the Bitcoin network using the traditional mining method—which, in itself, is already quite difficult to instigate.

“I’ll say that again; the honest mining strategy is more effective than the selfish mining strategy even in attacking the bitcoin network,” Wright wrote. “The reality of the scenario is that there is no place for selfish mining. No sane individual or corporation would spend money for the sake of spending money when even given the direct goal of damaging the network; they could achieve this for far lower capital expense.”

  1. ink, never understand why its on the album
  2. after a busy day at work I got home to find my secret santa package had arrived! Sadly no name on the package or card inside so cannot say who it was from to thank them, but hopefully they will know its them if they read this. So thank you so much for my 'card full of stars' which turned into a 'carpet full of stars' and all my lovely sweet gifts, only the other day someone told me I had lost too much weight, so these little devils will put some back on and keep them happy!! Thanks secret santa!!!
  3. anothers arms a sky full of stars magic midnight always in my head the others may as well not be there as I barely listen to them! (I don't have those extra songs, only the original album ok?)
  4. love this, wasn't so keen on the album when I first listened to it, this was the only song I instantly liked. Its the woman's voice and chris lower register, it got me straight away, one of those songs that gets you, well it got me anyway!!!
  5. only listened to the album once, and from that first listen I am underwhelmed. Disappointed, maybe my expectations were to high, very few songs on it stand out for me. Before any of you start, this is my opinion on listening to it once, so don't have a go, everyones entitled to an opinion and this is mine. It may change!
  6. its a shithole town, but at least its got lots of trees to hide the ugly buildings
  7. Joanna Cheshire, England Going though a bad time in my life I watched your Glastonbury performance of which was around the time that X & Y was released, though I knew of your music, it was that performance and the song 'speed of sound' that made me a fan. I needed hope and something to help me believe that things would get better, that I would find my place. I class X & Y as the album that saved my life, it has a special place in my heart and I will never forget that!! Thankyou!!
  8. I think a few years back it were the Chris Martin band, but over the last couple of albums, Jonny, Guy and Will are getting more involved and we are getting our moneys worth.
  9. I am afraid I fell asleep about 20 minutes into listening! I didn't know if it were boredom or tiredness at the time, I do now, it was tiredness. Sorry Chris!

Superman & Lois Releases First Poster

The CW announced its plans for the 2020-2021 TV season today, including confirmation that nearly all of the network's original shows will not be airing until at least January of 2021. One of the most highly-anticipated series to be among that slate is Superman & Lois, the latest series to join The CW's Arrowverse slate of shows. While we'll still have to wait a few months to see the series debut, the network did provide fans with a pretty epic teaser poster. The poster, which you can check out below, shows Clark Kent/Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) standing in a moody version of Metropolis.

Written by Todd Helbing, and based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman & Lois revolves around the world’s most famous superhero and comic books’ most famous journalist, played by Hoechlin and Tulloch, as they deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.

The series also includes Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang, Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing, Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cushing, Jordan Elsass as Jonathan Kent, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Wole Parks as the villainous The Stranger, and Dylan Walsh as General Sam Lane.

"When Todd Helbing, who's our showrunner, was telling me about the story for the pilot script for Superman & Lois, I got chills," Tulloch said in a previous interview. "It's so good, and it's so something we haven't seen before with them, so I think it's going to be great."

"I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to tell this story, that for now shall remain a secret. But I’ve been blessed with nothing less than the most wonderful people to do it alongside of," Hoechlin said, praising his co-star Tulloch when the series was first announced. "All the people behind the scenes care so much about these characters and their lives and the parts to which we’ll be speaking about, it gives me great comfort to know that they’ll steer us in the right direction. Thank you to everyone that said “yes” to this project (Warner Brothers, DC, CW). We won’t let you down. It’s going to be a grand adventure. Can’t wait to get to work!"

I had been wondering if becoming to 50 was worth it?

What armour OSRS gold and inventory should I use when PKing? This depends on your combat related lvls and what you can afford to loose. I used to be level 106, now my level is 100+6. Why can it be 100+6 and not just 106? Lvl 100 combat + 6 combat levels gained with summoning. Any other suggestions on PKing? Bring a Dds its a fantastic way to place someone K.O using the spec + poison. Know what yo ucan afford to loose. High Range lvl and high strenght lvl is a big +.

I am planing to receive 80 ranged soon so I could head to avansies and tank for some extra cash. I only had a couple of questions: Do you believe it would be a good supply of money? If I play 3 hours per day on weekdays and 6 hours on weekends, just how long would it take me to get about 20m? How much could I get per day? Is this a great setup and is there anything else I need to add? : Torags Helm, Torags thighs, Zamorak d'hide body, Saradomin bracers, Armadyl pendant.

My RC is presently only 46. I had been wondering if becoming to 50 was worth it? I would like to try that Mini Game item, but is it worth getting 50 RC just to try out the match? Can you make money off the match? I had been thinking of Nats, but that I don't use the Abyss, even though it's faster. I use the gnome flyer to get into the plac across from the nature altar, I then tele with a Glory into Alkhaird subsequently repeat, takes like 3 minutes or so only for 1 load. Or, what additional runes could I do this comes with an easy path? It's always well worth it to train runecrafting, you need to target higher then 50, maby to laws, maby to deaths, it is always good to train rcing, it can never harm you.

At 40 you should do natures, You should not use that method of travel it is extremly slow, the abyssal method is only 30 seconds to a minuite per excursion, or you can do the graahk method which is marginally faster but you need 59 summoning, or you could only run between the general shop and nature change and unnote the pure essence, or utilize the fairy rings, all of methods I think would be quicker then the glory to al kharid then reevaluate to natuer alter, you could be looking more then 3 minuites buy RS gold each excursion.

Nevertheless, here 2K21 MT are a few shooting tips provided by 2K's own Mike Wang, the Gameplay Director on the series.The clicking of the left trigger is fresh to me, and I've been trying to apply it into my process. Apart from these hints from Wang, below are a few things I have recognized as a help to boost shot-making and overall offensive performance in NBA 2K21. This seems like a no-brainer, however since shooting has been overly easy to master for such a long time, it has eliminated the requirement of taking good shots. The new difficulty on shooting virtually forces you to pay closer attention to hot zones, badges and ratings.

THROWBACK: Kobe Bryant Gives His Former Lakers Teammate Shaquille O'Neal A Comical Death Stare Mid Game NBA 2K has been around since 1999, but it was not till NBA 2K20 that all 12 WNBA teams were added into the game. NBA 2K20 included the WNBA from the MyLeague mode, allowing the players to control the WNBA league for numerous seasons. Now, NBA 2K21 will continue to include more attributes for the WNBA.

NBA 2K fans have been asking that the developers add a feminine glamorous player to the game for many years. It seems that this feature will be included in NBA 2K21. Regrettably, it will not be the situation until the next-generation consoles reach the market.In a news release, Visual Concepts revealed that players can eventually create a female customizable MyPlayer in NBA2K21. The player can be used in various modes, but they didn't mention anything about a separate single-player career mode.

Ahead of the news release, NBA 2K's executive producer Erick Boenisch cleared some air regarding the inclusion of female gamers in NBA2K21.

Be OK With Just Making the Shot

2K has fostered this green-light-obsessed community that behaves almost as if the made basket doesn't count for as much in case it is not a perfect release. I know this is a video game, but it's a video game based on Buy 2K MT basketball. And everyone who has ever actually played any sort of hoops knows that a made basket--even if it goes in like this...

Reborn Beta 7 Info + Patch Notes

Hey everyone,

Closed Beta 7 for OrbusVR: Reborn will take place beginning tomorrow (Friday) at 12 PM (Noon) US Central Time, and run for approximately 24 hours. You will have access to the same characters from the last beta.

We are running this last quick beta test because we have made some major changes to some of the underlying game systems, in particular updating the Unity version of the game to 2018.3, and we want to test things to make sure that didn’t introduce any major unforeseen issues.

Here are the complete patch notes:

  • Overworld
    • Two additional "giant’ bosses have been added to the world and can be seen wandering around.
    • All 3 Giant bosses begin as standard Level 30 bosses which are unmatched content. They are similar in difficulty to a boss from a dungeon. However, the true nature of these enemies can be revealed via certain actions, which will cause them to become enraged and take on the mantle of a World Boss.
    • As with original Orbus, World Bosses are designed to be community events which require dozens of players to defeat and offer unique rewards including rings and capes for defeating them.
    • Wildlife creatures are no longer matched content. They also now give higher XP than they did before, but since they are unmatched No Challenge creatures will give no XP.
    • Non-dragon pets can now be properly fed and petted. However, you cannot begin Dragon Races with a non-dragon pet.
    • The Mage Portal has been changed. Now it is a globe which is summoned which the player must interact with to teleport to the destination.
    • Transitions between zones will now be much smoother and not flash the screen black.
    • Fixed a variety of bugs around Fishing, including lure parts not showing on lures correctly, line not turning red, etc.
    • Some rare items (including a transmog set and a pet) have been added to a global loot table which has a very, very small chance of dropping during any Overworld or regular dungeon content. The transmog items are Tradable, but they cannot be equipped directly so they must be destroyed to unlock the style. The pet comes in a container which allows it to be traded until you open the container to get out the pet, at which point it becomes Soulbound.
    • Large and Small Caches which are received from leveling up will now contain higher-level rewards (e.g. better potions, better ingredients, etc.) when received on a Level 30 Discipline.
  • Mission Credits
    • A new system known as Mission Credits has been added to the game. This system grants you 5 credits daily which can be used to acquire additional missions from any Mission NPC.
    • The mission that you will receive will be randomly selected from the pool of available leveling missions. It must be a mission that you have already completed at least once (on any discipline), not be a mission you already have active, and will be the same level or below as your currently-equipped Discipline.
    • To use a credit, approach a Mission NPC and select the Plus Icon next to the Dialogue Icon in the top-right corner of the NPC dialog box. If you attempt to use a credit and no missions are available that meet the criteria, you will receive an error and no credit will be spent.
    • Missions bought using Mission Credits will give full XP, but significantly less reputation, then regular leveling and weekly missions.
    • Since this system is now in place, Weekly Missions will again only appear for players that have at least once Discipline at Level 20.
    • You can bank up to 25 mission credits. After you have received 25, you must spend them to receive more. Note that you only receive your credits once per day when you login, so if you are at the cap when you login you may have to wait another day to receive new credits.
    • You will receive credits even if you are not logged in daily. Note that during the Beta you will immediately start with 25 credits, but during the launch of the game you will receive your first 5 credits the day after logging in for the first time.
    • The penalty for turning in a Mission that is more than 5 levels below your current level has been eliminated.
  • Achievements
    • Multiple new achievements have been added to the game.
    • There is a new Achievements tab in your Player Menu which allows you to view a list of all achievements available in-game, and see which you have unlocked and which you have not, as well as a short description on how to unlock each of them.
    • There is also a Legacy Achievements tab which shows Achievements such as the storyline-based ones from the original game which are no longer available to acquire.
  • Combat
    • The unmatched content system has been changed such that the range is now -4 to +6. This should result in high level players having a bit of an easier time taking on low level enemies. In addition, low level players in high level areas will still be able to contribute DPS similar to before, but they will take higher incoming damage, making it more important to enter these areas with a group. This change should be considered experimental and may be reverted depending on results.
    • Global PvP damage modifier has been reduced a bit.
    • Fixed a bug which would sometimes cause the Stun totem not to spawn for Shamans.
    • Fixed a bug causing the Sword Rush ability icon to be white.
    • Fixed the Lightwell Orb being too bright when ready to cast Combat Resurrection.
    • Fixed an FPS drop bug with the Lich King fight when Death Burst was cast.
    • Artificing tile triggers have been added and expanding on the 4 new Disciplines.
    • Potions now have a short cooldown between drinking multiple of them.
    • Potions for +Crit, +Vitality, +Int, +Strength, and healing have been re-balanced between the original, aged, enhanced, and enhanced aged.
  • Interface/UI
    • We now show a gold or silver border around gold and silver foil versions of armor so you can more easily distinguish them.
    • You can now scroll menus in your Player Menu which are scrollable by pointing at the menu and then using the joystick or trackpad on your controller.
    • An option for Push To Talk has been added to the Audio section of the settings panel. When enabled, the right-hand Menu button (on Vive) and B button (on Rift) will be mapped to enable voice chat when held down.
    • A new Info button has been added to the Player Menu, which leads to panels with basic tips, FAQs, and other information helpful for new players. You can also manually trigger any of the animation-based tutorials if you want to watch them again.
    • Your Journal will now only display the quick-help information for your currently-equipped discipline rather than all disciplines. Existing journal pages for many of the Disciplines have also been re-worked with more/better information.
    • The first time you login you will receive a prompt telling you to press the Menu button to access the Player Menu. This is intended for new players, and once you do it once it will not return.
    • Animated tutorials have been updated with additional clarifying text.
    • You’ll now receive a notification at the end of Public Events telling you your rank and reward for the event.
    • Armor and Weapons in the game now have proper names (instead of just “T1a”).
  • Miscellaenous
    • Fixed a bug which was causing the Player Compass not to highlight correctly when held near your mouth to indicate that you are broadcasting to Party/Fellowship chat.
    • The capacity of Fellowships has been upgraded. Fellowships can now have: 10, 15, 20, 40, and 75 members (for ranks 1-5). Existing Fellowships will automatically receive these higher capacities as well.
    • Class items such as Paladin Librams, Musketeer Orbs, etc. do not have sticky gripping enabled.
    • Improved loading screens on Rift devices.
    • The Ithecac potion will now correctly change your vision.
    • The game engine has been updated to Unity 2018.3 This change should result in smoother performance in some cases, and especially fixes the bug where if your desktop window was not focused the FPS of the game could drop over time.
    • Fixed some graphical bugs with hair clipping through helms.
    • The Paladin hammer will now rotate correctly when thrown.
    • The Paladin’s librams have been shifted forward to help prevent them from interfering with equipped tools.

Just double checking. That means very rare item A can be dropped from everywhere? This doesn’t mean very rare item A will only drop in this particular area? And item B in this area? (Also: This probably causes some ppl to farm for these items by finding the easiest mob in the game and farm them, right? Which will be 1 spot in the game)

Eeehm it is not specified what the cooldown is and also not specified if this includes all potions? If the cool down is about 2 seconds then there is no big help in helping PVP healing pot drinkers. If it is way longer, then it should help. (I would also be sad on having cooldowns on speed pots) I think this is a healing pot cooldown only problem :man_shrugging:

BUUT if this also is the case for a potion like intellect, strength, etc. I think all PvE’ers will get annoyed that they have to wait before drinking all 4 of their 1 time pots even if it is like 1 or 2 seconds :expressionless:

I don’t think I recall seeing a fellowship rank at all in OG. How does a fellowship advance ranks? And what ranks will our OG guilds start with in Reborn?

@Atropos you can see your fellowship rank only at the fellowship vendor. As fellowship leader you can upgrade the rank there when having enough fellowship points. I actually don’t exactly know what makes you get those points (anymore. Used to know :expressionless:). But I think it was as simple as killing monsters and having classes lvled up.

are the potion drops from chests staying? if i remember correctly that was supposed to be temporary as it completely changes the economy, even more than just reborn itself

also is there no change to the time it takes to use the paladin ulty?

image thak you for fixing this its been bugging me thorough out the betas

Thanks for the increase in fellowship cap! Also, plz plz plz plz no hints on how to activate the world bosses. It’s so much fun trying to figure it out as a community :slight_smile:

The items drop from any eligible content, but the chance is very rare. We are still finalizing the mechanism on this, but we want it to be more like winning the lottery than something that you grind specifically for. (If it were a “regular” drop, the drop rate would be like 0.01% percent, so not really worth it anyway). As such, I think it’s going to work to where if you are playing the game and doing eligible content, every N interval of time you have a hidden chance to get it; if you hit, you get the drop. So it doesn’t really matter if you are grinding the most “mobs per minute” or anything like that, it’s just a fun random chance.

We are still finalizing/tuning this but the cooldown is likely to be something like 20 seconds, and apply only while in combat. The goal is to eliminate spamming healing potions to trivialize content.

If you mean the reward caches, as I mentioned the rewards in those have been re-worked, but yes you still receive potions as part of it. The potions you receive has been changed a bit though. In general we are fine with there being more Potion of Forgetfulness and Giant Growth potions in the world, for example.

On the scaling change, can you make that only apply to outer world? If anything, I think the range on the high side should decrease in dungeons. Outside you can over level by 6,but in dungeons maybe 2 or 3?

Hmmm…yeah I can see how a -3/+3 might be better in a dungeon. Sure we can experiment with that tomorrow and see how it goes.

Any changes to the old classes too? Rangers need some love, hitting weak points would be a perfect addition to tiles

Don’t you just want as many tile pros up at once as possible? Having specialized ones will make that more difficult without actually increasing dps(harder tiles don’t add extra damage)

Is that 20 seconds a global cd for every potion or just that type of potion? i.e. could I drink a healing pot then immediately drink a speed pot?

It’s supposed to just apply to the specific slot, but I guess that would mean you could put a healing pot in each slot and halve the cooldown, so we might have to add something where if the items in both slots are the same it applies it to the other as well or something like that.

But yes assuming you have a Speed Pot in one slot and a Healing Pot in the other, you could use them together like that still.

This change is not useful to us unless we can have basic ranks in the fellowship system too;

As a guild leader, I want to assign individuals to be able to invite new players, so that I do not have to be online to invite the players.

The only reason we had multiple fellowships was because of the lack of ranks so the second fellowship is owned by someone who can invite new players.

oh… my… god

What version were you running before?
I am excited to see this in action…

Haha 2018.2. We really weren’t that out of date, but yeah it might help who knows. It at least fixes that one bug.

We are planning to add additional Fellowship management tools as well, for sure. This is just one step in that process. It’s up to you if you want to keep them separate for now, but hopefully we can get that stuff in soon.

That FPS drop stopped me from using OVRDrop without fps decline so should have a MASSIVE improvement for Vive users / OpenVR device users. Let’s see tomorrow!.

Please, please, add guild title functionality and some control over things:

  1. Guild Leader/Officer/Guilderoy/Recruit, or some tiered system
  2. Options for each rank to include things like permissions to:
  • Invite to fellowship
  • Remove from fellowship
  • Add items to guild chest
  • Remove items from guild chest
  • Add dram to guild chest
  • Remove dram from guild chest
  1. Maybe make the titles something that people can wear as an actual title as well?
  2. If you really want to go above and beyond, maybe either a selection of what those rank titles can be per guild? Like “Guilderoy” could switch to “Member” or something and “Guild Leader” could switch to “Guild Master” or something

This is going to be annoying. having to carry another pet to swap out with your non-dragon pet whenever you wanna go dragon racing. it’s going to decrease the amount of people who use non-dragon pets, sure they might look cool, but if you have to carry another pet and swap it out whenever you wanna do some dragon racing people are going to stop using non-dragon pets as much.

having a non winged pet magically glide through the air probably isn’t the solution tho. instead you could maybe have a step in dragon at dragon races that would do the race instead or maybe have the pet appear in a little airplane or maybe even allow us to equip 2 pets and disable the bonus ability of the second pet.

Site sucker files

Does anyone have experience using Sitesucker?
I have some websites I want to archive from an old server and host on my reclaim account. Once the site is “sucked”, where do I put the file? Should it go somewhere on the Cpanel or should I create a WP site and somehow add the files so they appear on that site?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sitesucker generates an HTML copy of the website by crawling each page. You should be left with a folder of HTML files and you would upload those to the folder for the domain you are wanting them to load at (no WP install involved). For knowing what folder to put them in see Uploading Folders & Files and Understanding Folder Structures in cPanel

Thank you. I keep getting errors when trying to site suck this site. Do you know why this is happening or how to get around it? William F. Sharpe

Servers can block crawlers that do this sort of thing, it’s quite possible that might be happening there. We have another thread with lots of discussion at Archiving Wordpress Sites as Static HTML that includes a few other tools.

Do you have the ability to succefully run site sucker on this website? That would at least help me eliminate the possibily of the error coming from Site Sucker on my laptop.

Thanks for the links to the other archiving posts I’ll reference those when figuring out how to host the files. best

It would help if you were more specific about the errors.

I ran it successfully limiting files to the web directory of the original and am looking at a local copy.

Maybe it’s your settings? Here’s a link to the .suck file which should open with the same settings

Thanks for this file!

One problem, the file didn’t download with the right hierarchy. Everything looks to be scattered in separate top level folders instead of stemming from a main folder. Any suggestions?

Another question for a different site, I tried following the files to public_html using file manager but I get an error message saying something about a quota.

Surely there is a way to upload the entire folder structure rather than one file a time! Do I need to use FTP, I’d like to stick with file manager if possible.

Everything you need is in the ~wsharpe folder those other files seem to be missing file referrals for some of the CSS buried in the site, it refers to images stored outside the path of the site.

I can’t help with old convoluted HTML.

You might need to review the archive content and see if it’s good enough.

I would ftp it, but you can compress the directory as a zip, upload that into the container directory; there is a cpanel tool to decompress the archive. I’ve only done it once.

There’s nearly always stuff to tweak in this process.

Right on, I’ll give it a try. thanks a million!

Virtual Presence Device - Control from SmartPhone

@kevintierney absolutely! A few other community members are already using SharpTools + Tasker along with the Simulated Presence Sensor to achieve more powerful/accurate presence.

The Simulated Presence Sensor exposes the methods arrived() and departed() which you can control through SharpTools.

Let me know if additional details are needed.

If it just me or is the Simulated Presence Sensor icon all messed up?

@joshua_lyon - can you show me the Simulated Presence Sensor source? I’d love to see how those commands are implemented.

The Simulated Presence Sensor icon was messed up for me as well. (Stretched out beyond the bounds of its container). I ended up just using a picture as the icon.

I’m not sure where the Simulated Presence Sensor source is as it doesn’t show up under ‘My Device Types’ > ‘New’ > ‘From Template’. Perhaps someone from ST could help with this request?

Where did you find out the methods arrived() and departed()? I’d like to use some of the other simulated sensors, but I don’t see their code available in the templates, so I’m not sure how to use them.

Someone created a smartapp that will display device capabilities. Install that and you can see what commands/attributes are available

That is brilliant! Thanks

OK cool - I pulled that down the same way too. I was hoping the source was out there

Source here:

So the interesting thing about that is the command is just “instanced” in the definition. I wasn’t really aware you could do that – so that’s pretty sweet.

That’s the way SmartThings works, … If not exactly, but in effect:

The SmartDevice Type is used by the factory to create instances of the Device Class appropriate for each Thing.

Just an FYI - I noticed that ST recently deprecated this functionality. Intentionally or not.

@Kristopher which functionality are you referring to that may have been unintentionally deprecated? I just tried an existing Simulated Presence Sensor and created a new Simulated Presence Sensor and they both seem to work fine using the arrived and departed commands.

I got a notification from SmartThings that some users are experiencing issues connecting and controlling their devices - might your concern be related to that?

This virtual presence sensor is perfect for the nanny/guest in the house scenario. My mom was visiting and when my wife and i left the house it went dark :slight_smile: instead of creating new modes just toggle the presence sensor and i’m done.

I’ve successfully installed the built-in ST Simulated Presence Sensor. It is currently attached to no other Things or SmartApps; also, for the record, using Android.

The Simulated Presence Sensor thing does NOT appear to be firing the DEPARTED command…

From the Live log:
11bf6995-86a1-44fa-bff0-b430b8253343 10:49:14 AM: trace Executing ‘arrived’ -> Manually set to Not Present, ie. I clicked the button/tile for the 2nd time
11bf6995-86a1-44fa-bff0-b430b8253343 10:49:06 AM: trace Executing ‘arrived’ -> Manually set to Present, ie. I clicked the button/tile for the 1st time.

I tried this with a second instance of another Simulated Presence Sensor, and again, for both the present (on) and not present (off) button press it fires the “arrived” method. It is never firing “departed”…

Thanks in advance.

To answer my own question…

I found the answer in this topic:

Subject to correction, I believe this is the code that gets installed when one installs the built-in ST Virtual Presence Sensor; please correct me if I am wrong.

Based on the above assumption being correct, it looks like the correct commands are indeed firing depending on the present/not present state, BUT that the log reports it incorrectly:

// handle commands
def arrived() {
log.trace "Executing ‘arrived’"
sendEvent(name: “presence”, value: “present”)
def departed() {
log.trace "Executing ‘arrived’"
sendEvent(name: “presence”, value: “not present”)

Question: how would I go about fixing the built-in code?

So, I have the virtual presence sensor setup as a widget w/ Sharptools, but the problem is, i need a seperate widget for present and away, is there anyway to code this as a toggle instead of like with light switch on/off function?

Yes see the code in the first post, that what it does, toogle presence with a switch like functionality.

Yeah, it works like that within the app, but for some reason, not with Sharptools. Maybe @joshua_lyon can help. :slightly_smiling:

@nomisr you could create a custom Device Type Handler (DTH) with a custom toggle() command, then change your existing simulated presence device to use the new DTH:

Edit: Updated the method definition to togglePresence()… for some reason toggle() would work in the simulator, but not from other SmartApps.

Awesome! It works now! Thanks!

    It's got me thinking.
    What would Ofsted say if they were to talk in now and see teachers not adopting a consistent shoe-colour policy in our school?
    The head sometimes wears red shoes. I wonder now if they're overly agressive and might be seen as threatening, especially to EYFS children who are almost on eye level with teachers' feet.
    Should schools adopt a green shoe policy?
    Have any schools not read a non-conclusive study yet still enforced such a policy simply because it's occurred to someone that red might be bad?
    It's a hot potato alright.

    Not just a hot potato.
    I think the wearing of red shoes is the elephant in the room.
    Especially if red shoes = (as they say) no knickers!

    As per my contribution to the other thread, in a similar vein I now propose to purchase a collection of shoes in an assortment of colours to see if there are any perceptible effects on children's feeling of self-worth and confidence.

    ( any excuse for shoe shopping[IMG])

  4. I thought green shoes were already in, your suggestion is a bit late. Don't you wear a green tie? I had to remove my red one, in case I came over as an aggressive teacher, that and the bull in the neighbouring field was getting angry.

    People with shiny shoes should not never wear no knickers.

    And in the interests of ensuring the data you collect is statistically valid, I feel I should repeat the experiment in my school.

    Do you think school will pay for the shoes? Could I get credits for an MA?
  7. Now I feel terrible. I have scarred children for life by wearing red shoes. Please don't tell ofsted. I promise to go and buy some safe, neutral shoes taking account of any children with colour blindness.
  8. Oh, oh, oh... shoes! I'm in. I don't mind undertaking some rigorous and robust research in the interests of gaining a better understanding of the effect of teachers' shoe colour on pupils' self esteem.

    I have red shoes, red boots, purple shoes and green shoes anything apart from black. The children often comment on them.

    At my Grammar school we were not allowed to wear patent leather shoes in case our knickers were reflected in them.

    which would have been solved by not wearing any [IMG]

  12. Would these red sole Christian Louboutin shoes be acceptable?
  13. Ooh. I'd forgotten my pair of red boots.

    A little bit too high, too pointy to walk around in all day.

    I shall wear 'em Monday. Hah!
  14. lardylady

    lardylady Star commenter

    I hope I'm not scarring the children for life when I wear my peace n love shoes.

    my class love these

    The thing about red shoes is that you have to dance in them until you drop dead.
    Maybe we should have a Red Shoe Monday just to illustrate the point!
  17. I'm in - I think if we collaborate Minnie we can justify it towards MaST (study on data handling?).
    I have been debating on buying these - now I have the perfect excuse.

    are we doing the film [IMG]or the fairytale?

    I didn't think this through, did I?

    Dear Becktonboy,

    Sorry for starting another shoe thread up. I didn't do it on purpose.

  20. You are taking the **** right?

Religion and Citizenship - a plea

Discussion in 'Religious Education' started by skoots, Jan 10, 2012.

  1. Hi, I am teaching religion and citizenship (AQA B unit 1) for the first time this year. I will be delivering religion and sport in a few weeks time and have put together a SOW, however, this is heavily based on the AQA textbook. Having had a particularly stressful Autumn Term working well over 60 hours a week, I am 'dried' up in terms of ideas and know the SOW is stale. Does anybody else teach this unit and topic if so, what do you do? Any ideas on how I can spice this up would be gratefully received. Thanks for reading and hopefully sharing your ideas.
  2. There are a number of resources on this website I have used these to form my lessons. I can put some up but many are very similar to whats already posted!
    The request website has brilliant Christian resources from Adam Pengilly- a bobsleigher and Linvoy Primus a footballer, including video of of their faith affects their sport.
    For revision consider using some of Cool Runnings as it covers isssues of why people compete, nationality, barriers to sport, prejudice etc.
  3. lesley66

    lesley66 New commenter

    Try the Hodder textbook - it has some nice ideas in it.
  4. Thanks for the suggestions will take a closer, am hoping to find some time this weekend!
  5. Hi,My school have decided they are going to introduce this as a compulsory S/C, which will begin in September. Do you have any resources you can share? I am the only RS teacher in my school and would really appreciate any support that you would be willing to offer.Kind regardsEllee.sambrook@portchester.hants.sch.uk

9 days in, 35degrees, 27weeks

It’s going to be a long long summer mummas!! So hot already!

Wasn’t sure if my waters broke or it was just leg sweat today!

Oldest First

I’m 24+2 and dreading the rest of Summer. I’m in SA, we keep getting all over the place weather. I’ve had wait is that pee trying to leak or sweat moments.

I swear I’m running hotter (naturally run hot) then normal and ofcourse 2 of our dear dogs insist on cuddling, they let off so much heat.

Ones a Mini Fox Terrier and the other Kelpie cross.

Ice cubes, ice blocks and spray bottle are my best friends

I’ve just finished two years in a row of being pregnant over summer. We threw our money into double glazed windows and roof insulation ... we had just one wall aircon on low the lounge this crazy week and the curtains drawn and the house stayed at 20C the whole time. Best investment we ever made

Aah the struggle is real isn’t it! Thankfully the heat has gone for now in Melb but omg it was horrendous. I may have walked to our car on Friday night after a concert with a 7-11 slushy wedged in my cleavage and an ice pop in the other hand... It’s gonna be a long hot summer for us preggo ladies

Melbourne here too- Thursday and Friday last week was horrendous! I also had the wonderful first time experience of chafing.... not fun at all! However picked up some nifty cream from the chemist and all was well again.... its going to be a looooooong summer!

corn flour works in a pinch to. SA is on off heat 😭

thanks Casey I’ll keep that in mind, I ended up getting a 3B action cream, worked quite well, I’m having a good pregnancy but that was not a highlight for sure!

I am crossing my fingers that Perth doesn’t get too hot before Christmas. I am booked in to have this baby on the 21st 😬 there has really only been 1 day so far that was super hot overnight. Daytime I can handle, it’s sleeping that is hard enough without the heat.

We don’t have air con. Just fans in every room. Plus we are elevated and get the sea breeze right through our house if I open the back sliding door.

Over summer already here in SA and it’s only just begun. Last week was horrible especially BF my 4 month old. Dd was sticking to means sweating herself. All 3 of my kids I was early pregnancy over the Xmas etc and horrendous morning sickness

your poor hubby out in the heat. Dads a tradie, he’s had a fencing job down south he just finished. He mostly works for himself no pay til jobs are finished and no sick leave and if he gets rained out means he loses a days work with cost him. Poor baby and you getting so hot.

Tell me about it! I’m 25 weeks and in the Riverina - we’ve already had 40 degrees here last week! My first DS was due about 5 weeks later in the year than this one so I’ve been here before but that doesn’t make it easier!

Good luck everyone!

Weather horrible again

As we all start making our way back to work under new restictions, here at Compassrose before we start, we do a risk assessment to make sure that all government guidelines are followed. We work alongside Red Robin Healthcare to make sure that we have all the correct PPE in place giving you peace of mind to know we are reducing our risk to bring you the best possible service.
We also have throat and nose swabs taken every two weeks to make sure not only we are safe, but our families and clients are safe too. Below is the government guideline for safe return to work.

If you need any help on returning to work we offer a free risk assessment and advise to any company and 10% off any Redrobin product through our website..

Lets all get though this together.

1. Carry out a COVID-19 risk assessment

Before restarting work you should ensure the safety of the workplace by:

  • carrying out a risk assessment in line with the HSE guidance
  • consulting with your workers or trade unions
  • sharing the results of the risk assessment with your workforce and on your website

2. Develop cleaning, handwashing and hygiene procedures

You should increase the frequency of handwashing and surface cleaning by:

  • encouraging people to follow the guidance on hand washing and hygiene
  • providing hand sanitiser around the workplace, in addition to washrooms
  • frequently cleaning and disinfecting objects and surfaces that are touched regularly
  • enhancing cleaning for busy areas
  • setting clear use and cleaning guidance for toilets
  • providing hand drying facilities – either paper towels or electrical dryers

3. Help people to work from home

You should take all reasonable steps to help people work from home by:

  • discussing home working arrangements
  • ensuring they have the right equipment, for example remote access to work systems
  • including them in all necessary communications
  • looking after their physical and mental wellbeing

4. Maintain 2m social distancing, where possible

Where possible, you should maintain 2m between people by:

  • putting up signs to remind workers and visitors of social distancing guidance
  • avoiding sharing workstations
  • using floor tape or paint to mark areas to help people keep to a 2m distance
  • arranging one-way traffic through the workplace if possible
  • switching to seeing visitors by appointment only if possible

5. Where people cannot be 2m apart, manage transmission risk

Where it’s not possible for people to be 2m apart, you should do everything practical to manage the transmission risk by:

  • considering whether an activity needs to continue for the business to operate
  • keeping the activity time involved as short as possible
  • using screens or barriers to separate people from each other
  • Consider a form of mouth guard (example facemask)
  • using back-to-back or side-to-side working whenever possible
  • staggering arrival and departure times
  • reducing the number of people each person has contact with by using ‘fixed teams or partnering’

Water-only Fasting – Is this the New Medicine?

by Lisa Peten

Let’s talk about fasting—water-only fasting! That seemingly crazy idea of getting healthy by not eating; that thing that many people do and live to tell about, despite severe abstinence per the larger population. Watch an hour of TV and you will be shocked to witness the number of instances when food appears. This is largely a reflection of our society and its consumption of food, including diet fads and communal social gatherings…just to eat! Perhaps fear, disinterest and disbelief are some reasons the mere thought of going days without food is a very unconventional concept for the majority in our society. Think about this: Can you name a holiday and not immediately think of the food associated with it? Food governs our lifestyles in a very concentrated way, in sickness, and in health. Ironically, if you study four-legged animals, you will learn that they do not eat when sick, as we humans do. Perhaps poor health and the growing population of distress and disease makes it necessary now to move from spectator to participant and engage in a water-only fast. I challenge you, for the next few moments, to chew (only) on this: Fasting may be the new medicine.

What is medicine?

According to Dictionary.com, “Medicine is any substance or substances used in treating disease or illness.” Interestingly enough, the word cure is not present. Testimonials and accounts of those who have completed water-only fasts make the claim that fasting was the cure to their disease or illness. Before you can make a snide remark that these fasting “stories” are just that, let me introduce you to a treatment center that stands convicted in the benefits of water-only fasting as a viable means to achieve better health.

TrueNorth Health Center is located in California’s wine country and was started in 1984 and takes an integrative medicine approach to help patients achieve optimum health. The center boasts that it is the largest facility in the world that specializes in water-only fasting. Their patients are treated for detoxification, weight loss, dietary and lifestyle changes, high blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and a wide range of other health conditions. Trained staff, such as medical doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths, psychologists, research scientists and other health professionals treat and evaluate patients who wish to gain enhanced health.

As with most health treatment centers in the United States that perform with a high caliber of care, it does not come cheap. Health, whether good or bad, never does. Luckily, with research and a lot of belief, it is possible for you to succeed in completing a water-only fast, on your own. Preparing well for the best results is the gigantic first step.

Mental Preparation

Statistics show that 1% of the US population has skydived once, however, even though statistics on water-only fasting are hard to find, I equate these two experiences to be similar. Water-only fasting and sky-diving both require mental preparation. First and foremost, you must convince yourself that you will be successful in a water-only fast (or skydive). Along with this internal preparation is also external preparation. Friends, family and even strangers may help you meet your goal. Do not discount this step, as many have needed to rely on this preparation step at pivotal points during their fast to result in a successful completion.

Mental preparation also includes fueling your knowledge via research. This is the next largest component to properly prepare for a self-guided water-only fast. Verbal personal accounts, YouTube videos, books, magazine articles, Instagram, Facebook, blogs, medical journals and the like are all research options. The knowledge you gather during this research will most likely be voluminous. Be prepared to use filters, retaining the information that resonates deep within you, as you will surely find contradictions. Be mindful of the importance of applying the information and guidance that you think is applicable. If you find redundant information, give this higher consideration in adhering to what is being relayed.

Physical Preparation

Similarly, best practices recommend eating moderately and nutritiously before skydiving which is also true to begin a water-only fast. Veterans of water-only fasts recommend juice fasting or eating a raw, paleo or gluten-free diet to prepare, while others recommend no change in diet at all; do what you feel will work best for you. Your body may alert you during your mental preparation or within the next preparation step, gathering resources.

Gathering Resources

Fasting while training, undergoing a stressful period, on vacation, working full-time, working full-time with a second part-time job or working full-time while going to school part-time are possible scenarios that you may have to sift through to find the best time to fast. No matter your fasting period, consider the following list to stock items that may become necessary.

Water – Choose which type you will drink (e.g. distilled, spring, coconut) and stock up to eliminate having to purchase and pick-up during times when your energy may be low.

Salt – Choose your type (e.g. pink Himalayan salt, black salt, rock salt.) You may need to perform a salt flush during your fast. It is highly recommended that you NEVER use iodine salt.

Lemon/Lime – You may wish to add a lemon or lime to flavor the water to combat boredom or for taste. They are also great detoxification aids.

Coffee/Herbal Tea – During your research, you may note that this topic is highly contradicted. As a rule of thumb, stock these items, just in case it resonates within you pre-fast, during the fast or post-fast.

Enema – This is another hotly debated topic in veteran fasting communities. Again, use at your own discretion.

Entertainment – Be sure to have your favorite music, books, movies, games, etc. on hand to assist you—especially during the weekends and especially if going out to eat for socializing has been temporarily suspended.

Notebook – From the first day of the fast until completion, regardless of the length of time your fast occurs, you will develop a sensitivity to the changes occurring inside and outside your body. You may encounter books, video diaries and day-by-day blogs during your research, which recorded water-only fasting experiences. It is best if you decide to engage or pass on this early on. It could be distressing if you decide to keep a documented account of your experience days into the fast. If you can’t decide, have the notebook around in case you change your mind. While some use the computer to record (via video recording or typing) the best practice is to use computers sparingly.

Just like skydiving, to engage in a water-only fast is a choice. It is a commitment to move beyond the status quo and engage in the unknown with faith. We do this when we take medicine, only we put the faith in the doctor’s knowledge rather than our own. Whether we take medicine or fast, we expect results; to reap benefits. Taking medicine is commonly equated to being a band-aid while fasting circles claim it to be an overall healer. Water-only fasters who had arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or tinnitus prior to the fast, reported being rid of these things post-fast. Your belief in these accounts is not important, but your health is. Try it for yourself and see.

A 1-million m3 breccia near Laiyuan (Hebei Province, E China) occurs as a block-like lithological unit between dolo-stones of the 1.55-1.45 Ga (Early Mesoproterozoic) Wumishan Formation. It has previously been interpreted as a seismite, but it appears not to fulfil any of the commonly accepted criteria that jointly are considered diagnostic for seis-mites. Its presence in a graben-like structure with almost vertical bounding fault planes rather indicates an origin as a (submarine) valley fill. As the valley originated by tectonic activity in the form of faulting, the breccia can be considered as a secondary effect of seismic activity, but it does not represent a seismite.

The Archaean granitoid pluton of the Singhbhum craton in E India is overlain by Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metasediments. These sediments are still poorly known and their stratigraphy is under debate. Several scattered, most probably Meso- to Neoarchaean, conglomerates are present in the state of Jharkhand that differ so much in characteristics that they are probably not related to each other. The sedimentology of a series of conglomerate patches and layers near Bhurkuli has been investigated, including the characteristics of the clasts. It is deduced on the basis of these characteristics and the sedimentological context that the Bhurkuli conglomerates represent the channel facies of a river system that differed from the types of fluvial systems that exist nowadays.

An oolite in the Furongian (Late Cambrian) Chaomidian Formation in Shandong Province, China, which was deposited on the North China Platform in an epeiric sea, contains several limestone breccia lenses of various dimensions (centimetres to decimetres thick and decimetres to more than 10 metres in length) in an E-trending section. The oolite, which is approximately 40 cm thick, was originally thicker, as indicated by a planar truncation surface that formed by wave abrasion. The breccia lenses in this oolite are generally mound-shaped with a flat base and a convex top. The western margin of the lenses is commonly rounded whereas the eastern margin commonly has a tail (consisting of a rapidly eastwards thinning breccia horizon that gradually ends in a horizon of isolated clasts). Some of the breccia lenses are underlain by a shear zone.

The formation of the breccia lenses cannot be easily explained by normal depositional or deformational processes. It is concluded that the lenses represent fragments of a partly consolidated layer, consisting of both rounded and angular platy clasts, which slid down over a very gently inclined sedimentary surface which acted – possibly together with a water film – as a lubricant layer. During transport, the layer broke up into several discrete bodies that formed small ‘highs’ at the sedimentary surface of the shallow epeiric sea. Subsequently, waves partially eroded the lenses, mostly at their margins, producing their mound-shaped form.

Sliding of blocks is known from a wide variety of environments in the sedimentary record; however, this is the first description of the sliding of blocks in an epeiric sea. This indicates that such a low-relief submarine carbonate setting is, like its siliciclastic counterparts, susceptible to this process.

The silty top parts of graded turbidites of the Late Ordovician Pingliang Formation, which accumulated along the southern margin of the Ordos Basin (central China), have been reworked by contour currents. The reworking of the turbidites can be proven on the basis of paleocurrent directions in individual layers: the ripple-cross-bedded sandy divisions of some turbidites show transport directions consistently into the downslope direction (consistent with the direction of other gravity flows), but in the upper, silty fine-grained division they show another direction, viz. alongslope (consistent with the direction that a contour current must have taken at the same time). Both directions are roughly perpendicular to each other. Moreover, the sediment of the reworked turbidites is better sorted and has better rounded grains than the non-reworked turbidites.

Although such type of reworking is well known from modern deep-sea environments, this has rarely been found before in ancient deep-sea deposits. The reworking could take place because the upper divisions of the turbidites involved are silty and consequently relatively easily erodible, while the contour current had locally a relatively high velocity – and consequently a relatively large erosional capability – because of confinement within a relatively narrow trough.

Numerous soft-sediment deformation structures occur within the Proterozoic Bhander Limestone of an intracratonic sag basin in a 750 m long section along the Thomas River, near Maihar, central India. Part of these deformation structures have most probably a non-seismic origin, but other structures are interpreted as resulting from earthquake-induced shocks. These seismic structures are concentrated in a 60 cm thick interval, which is interpreted as three stacked seismi-tes. These three seismites are traceable over the entire length of the section. They divide the sedimentary succession in a lower part (including the seismites) deposited in a hypersaline lagoon, and an upper open-marine (shelf) part. Most of the soft-sediment deformations outside the seismite interval occur in a lagoonal intraclastic and muddy facies association.

The SSDS within the seismite interval show a lateral continuity. They record simultaneous fluidisation and liquefaction. The bases of each of the three composing seismite bands are defined by small-scale shear folds, probably recording an earthquake and aftershocks.

The presence of the three seismite bands at the boundary between the lagoonal and the overlying open-marine oolitic facies association suggests that the seismic event also triggered basin subsidence.
