Here are a few ideas of mine in the hope of a better Christmas next year.
First and foremost the exact criteria or formula by what creatures are been gifted during Christmas to be made public and updated before the next Christmas.
Second, remove the creature present from the tree along with the activity days requirement.
Third, Confused Santa will have a list and give away presents by a category calculated for each person by the requirements that were made public beforehand.
Example of Category/present relationship(really just an example)
Chance to get present..............40%................................30%...10%
Category I.................................Morph............................tainted angien...................wind dragon...............darkling
Category II................................rusty..............................Nutcracker.........................reindrach...................Morph
Category III...............................Sharpshooter.................soulweaver........................santa.........................rusty
Category IV..............................imperial aramor..............tormented soul..................bloodpact...................Sharpshooter
Category V..............................Toxicodendrite................heretic archer....................knator........................Imperial aramor
Confused Santa really needs help, he is to confused to give out the presents himself so he chooses someone else to do it in his stead.
Examle: Person A was a bit bad this year so he only qualifies for a category IV gift, meaning he can expect to get a imperial aramor, a tormented soul or a slim chance for a bloodpact or Sharpshooter.
There will be no disappointed faces since everyone knows what to expect from Santa, but there is still hope for the 10% chance of getting the best gift in that category.
Even if you were "bad" you can still have hope to be picked by Confused Santa to be his helper and get a fantastic reward Edited December 26, 2011 by stavaroiu

With these kinds of requirements its not a gift anymore, then it's nothing but a bribe or payment for the conditions that you suggest....
The biggest issue I have is simply, you seem to expect something great. A gift means however that even if you get "just" a BP, you should be happy that you got anything for free. If people keep pushing like this, I almost expect mur to simply say: Alright, since so many are unhappy about being treated this way, NO MORE GIFTS.
You might just accuse me now saying I can say that because I got good things, but the truth is I did NOT expect anything good from the tree (past experiences just keep telling me there won't be anything). I think the tree conditions might be modified, but I do not think the current ones are too bad either- MD shop also has freebies. Confused Santa seemed like overkill just looking at the sheer amount of rarities going out, and I know there have been questions regarding how the choice was. We have a topic for that.
But hey it's Xmas time, not Jealousy time. We should rejoice, be happy for anything we got (maybe strike a few bargains here and there), and simply enjoy the festivities. Edited December 26, 2011 by Shadowseeker

Or...how about we JUST have a tree. That's it.
Leave the present giving to the those that wish to give and organise a few of our OWN competitions, events, etc. BFH's event was amazing and I think if people could make their own each year it would be by far a more...Christmassy....time, not to mention prevent any hard feelings and complaints.
The ideas i mentioned above are just suggestions to make a nice, calm and organized Christmas. [b]This[/b] is what i really want above anything else.
And what is exactly wrong with having expectation? Did you even check what Christmas is like in other games? There is organization, most of the online games reward the same gift to everyone regardless of time played or other factors.
Shadowseeker and xrieg reacted to this
Then we might just agree having no confused santa, but everything else seems fine. It's just that the table system you suggested is too much like a reward system to me...and although other games have expectations like that, it does not mean we have to like it.
And if I'm honest, MD is much more free with gifts than other games- they tend to lump one off with a few small freebies, or extra credits on buy, the likes. The creature tree (if it works for someone, and 70% doesn't seem to high a requirement) tends to grant quite good ones if one does not have it already- part of the reason why I did not expect anything, as one of the richer ones.

I like BFH's idea, remove all christmas presents because clearly if people make such a fuss, then there is no point causing such Havok.
I was fervently against it, hated the idea. Foolishly thinking that i hated it because it would make things less rare, and it would be much less special. Having thought about it more i realised the only objection i had to it was greed. I was being greedy that my 3 morphs would become regular, and people would have upwards of 8, And i didnt like that. Having come to realise that was my only objection then a morph shop is great, wonderful,it means i can complete my collection so much easier.
Dont be greedy that you didnt get something, and others did, or that he got X creature and i only got Y. Its christmas.
1. Its not that hard to devote one minute to log into MD each day. It is very simple to do this, look at some of the top Active Day vets. Many of you will never have seen or met them, but they log on each day.
2. Rarity of creatures will change. I would like to point out that at one time angiens were sold for upwards of 15 gold. Nowadays they are freely obtainable. Market change is sometimes unwanted by greedy merchants and such, But market upheaval happens in all markets and you have to live with it. Adding 5 darks into the market wont effect you or me, because 99% of all of us wont be able to buy them. People that have lots of money such as SS and orvid will purchase them and demand huge sums if you want to buy them.
xrieg reacted to this
This is not really my main point but it has to do with it.
Only this year i was able to purchase a rein and a Santa from the md shop and it felt really good. It was the same feeling i had when i purchased my first rusty with coins and my second one from the md shop.
A while ago a windy was auctioned and i didn't hesitate to bid everything i had, was still overbid though but that was still ok. It made me realize that i am not there yet and that only a little longer and i could get one more thing that i wanted with my own strength.
Long story short, if i would have gotten one of these rare crits from the Santa i wont say that i probably wouldn't be happy, but without a doubt that would have been only temporarily. It cant possibly compare to the felling of achievement felt when you get it yourself.

The formulae isnt going to be made public, But its planned to change this year, as it did last year.

I have a point of view - good or wrong, is what like i see it. As a player, i became since 24.12.2007, and i don't know if in that time there were presents.
But i remember that in one of the next years i was there and i have seen gifts near the tree.
Unfortunately, after that time, i do not know what happened that i haven't been around MD, or i was but i didnt have the mental power to play with a main caracter and i played with so many characters that Mur was forced to block most of them. I really can't remember wich one was the reason of my innactivity, but when i look at my page and i see Activity days: 27% (A total of 531 out of 1997 days) is a really shame for me.
Because of the mistakes that i made i paid 2-3 years in a row ... Why? My activity % says it all. And when i see it, i know i will have to wait, still many years before i will be able to open a gift box. I was so bad in all these years? Idk...
I hope i have not bored with my story, but i really wish i could open those boxes again, even if behind them will be a great gift or a smaller one.
As for envy, intrigue and competition, is there since the human being walked on earth :) and if in what i said before i was offtopic, now i would like to say that if Christmas gifts are based on activity, involvement in MD and other criteria like that .... then they are not gifts, but rewards for what we as individuals have made in the current or past years... and for that i am sure that are other ways to reward the work and dedication.
And at the end of this, i ask: in real life we always have to wait Santa to give us presents? maybe we fall asleep and we don't catch him, that doesnt mean we forgot about him :)
I hope what i wrote will raise questions, and questions will have solutions. And of course, hope i will be there with all of you, when the time will come to celebrate and share our happiness.

Budapest Airport supports local primary school, park renovation
Continuing the window insulation program started several years ago, the airport operator has decided to offer, as of this year, window insulation, window replacement, and other noise insulation-related support to certain institutions near the airport, in addition to noise insulation for residrport operator is undertaking the window replacement in cooperation with the District XVII Municipality, through support provided by the For the Neighbors of Budapest Airport Foundation, with the help of the experts commissioned for this purpose.
Budapest Airport contributed 15,000 EUR, while majority owner AviAlliance added a further 4,000 EUR to the renovation of Martinovics square near the airport in District XVIII. The park in the vicinity of the airport will be completely renewed, including the playground, benches and covered areas as well.
Budapest Airport purchases green energy
Budapest Airport purchased 840 MWH of green energy, taking another step towards its sustainability objectives. The purchased electricity equals the monthly electricity consumption of 3,500 households of a family of four people. Electricity company ELMŰ-ÉMÁSZ issued a green certificate to the airport operator for this environmentally friendly decision. This document is provided to those who purchase green energy and take action for a greener future.
The airport operator also established the Greenairport program in 2015, in order to achieve its sustainability objectives, which makes it possible for the airport and its passengers, and airlines. The objectives of the program include reducing the CO2 emissions and the energy consumption of the airport, establishing ways to use renewable energy sources, and developing electric mobility. Reducing water consumption, phasing out single-use plastics, and further developing selective waste collection at the airport are also amongst the focus areas of the program.

Barnwell natives coming home to inspire youth and adults
Two Barnwell natives who are now media professionals in New York are coming home to inspire others to follow their dreams.
Danyell Flowers and Shavon Greene, who graduated from Barnwell High School in 2006, grew up with big dreams. They will return home this Saturday, June 29 to share how those dreams are coming true while encouraging others to work toward bringing their own dreams to fruition.
“People think that just because you are from a small town means you can’t be great,” said Flowers.
“I want kids to know that whatever you imagine, where you are doesn’t determine where you can be,” said Greene. "You can come from a small town and do great things."
The two met years ago at Guinyard-Butler Middle School in Barnwell where they discussed their dreams for the future. Their former middle school is where they will return June 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. Greene will interview Flowers while also sharing her own story.
Flowers earned hermoved to Brooklyn, N.Y. in 2014 to follow her dream of working in the fashion public relations industry. She started off as an intern before getting her first paid job. After doing public relations work for fashion and entertainment professionals, Flowers decided to start her own business, Maven Media Management, two years ago which is geared to lifestyle clients. She now has two people who work for her.
“I like to build someone’s story from nothing to something,” she said of building a client’s digital presence from the ground up.
After earning bachelor's and master’s degrees in journalism innovation from Syracuse University, Greene remained in Syracuse, N.Y. to launch her career. She started off as a freelancer before starting Greene Style Media, which producestarted Black Owned Syracuse, a year-old business that celebrates black-owned businesses and their owners, including through programs and partnerships. She also wants to branch out into teaching.
Though Flowers and Greene no longer live in Barnwell, both credit their hometown with helping shape who they are today.
“It makes us stand out,” said Greene of how growing up in the small Southern town helped her be a kind, well-mannered individual.
Flowers said growing up in Barnwell developed her character and has made her more approachable in her professional career.
Both have also relied on their families and faith to get through the ups and downs of working hard to attain their dreams. Flowers said she relied heavily on her support system five years ago when she essentially started over at the age of 25 by moving to New York.
Butilizing their resources, has led to opportunities they never could have imagined. Flowers said it’s important to be open to possibilities because life has brought her opportunities she never thought possible.
“Everything happens for a reason,” said Greene.
“Each year has been a progression in my career,” said Flowers, who also encourages people to not be discouraged by negative influences. She wrote down her vision and a plan to get there.
While living in New York is expensive and owning their own businesses can be a struggle at times, Flowers and Greene said they love what they do. They both enjoy writing, telling people’s stories and helping others succeed.
“I’ve never been this passionate about anything else. I feel very blessed,” said Greene, who attributes her father with helping instill a love of reading and knowledge about the world. She said he always brought home newspapers, told stories, and took her to different places.
Flowers and Greene are excited to return home this weekend.
“We want this to be empowering and encouraging,” said Flowers. “We want to show young people and others how to take their dreams to reality.”
This free event is open to everyone of all ages because “it is never too late,” said Flowers.
As Flowers and Greene continue to work on their dreams, they want to give back to their hometown by encouraging others to have their own dreams, whether it is in Barnwell or a bigger city.

Okay so I have to put my Twilight 2 cents in and say that I wasn't all that impressed. I think my surroundings had a huge affect on the actual movie, there were so many teenage girls screaming and giggling the whole time that it took away from the movie and then I dragged hubby with me who kept looking at me every two minutes like I had lost mind!!! Needless to say he did not care for the movie at all! However he did find amusement in yelling and getting all of the teenage girls wound up even more than they were.
I'm definitely going to rent it when it comes out on DVD and give it another try.

Getting (and keeping) NLP models safely in production
Introducing a natural language processing (NLP) model into a production environment is a lot like buying a car. In either case, you may set the parameters to suit your desired results, test some approaches, and retest them. And as soon as you drive away the lot, the value begins to plummet. Just like having a car, having an NLP or AI-enabled product has many advantages, but it doesn’t stop maintenance. Do not stop, at least for it to function properly over time.
AI production is difficult enough, but ensuring model accuracy in a real environment can present even greater governance challenges. The accuracy of the model drops the moment the model hits the market. This is because the predictable research environment in which the model is trained behaves differently in real life. As the highway is a different scenario than the dealer’s parcel.
This is called concept drift. In other words, as variables change, the concepts learned can become inaccurate. It’s nothing new in the areas of AI and machine learning (ML), but it continues to challenge users. This is also the reason why only about 13% of data science projects actually move to production, despite huge investments in AI and NLP in recent years ()VentureBeat).
Sn? It’ges? Thereorder for their AI investment to actually see the light of day.
Introduce AI model to production environment
Model governance is an important factor in producing NLP initiatives, and is a common reason why many products remain projects. Model governance targets how a company tracks model activity, access, and behavior in a particular production environment. Monitoring this is important  by the AI global community, but it’s also a thorn on their side.
Data from 2021 NLP Industry Survey Respondents have shown that precision tools that are easy to adjust and customize are a top priority. Technology leaders repeated this, noting that accuracy, followed by production readiness, and scalability are essential when evaluating NLP solutions. Constant adjustment is the key to a model functioning correctly over time, but it is also the biggest challenge faced by practitioners.
The NLP project contains a pipeline that uses the results of previous tasks and pre-trained models downstream. Models often need to be tailored and customized for a particular domain or application. For example, health care models trained in academic papers and medical journals do not work the same when used by media companies to identify fake news.
Improving searchability and collaboration between AI communities plays an important role in standardizing model governance practices. This includes storing modeling assets such as notebooks, datasets, resulting measurements, hyperparameters, and other metadata in searchable catalogs. Allowing experiment reproducibility and sharing among members of the data science team is another area of benefit for those seeking to move a project into production.
More tactically, rigorous testing and retesting is the best way to ensure that your model behaves like a study in a production environment. Two very different environments. All practitioners should exercise model versioning that goes beyond experimentation to release candidates, testing their accuracy, bias, and stability, and validating pre-release models in new regions and populations. The element.
When you release software, you need to incorporate security and compliance into your strategy from the beginning. AI projects are no exception. Role-based access control and an approval workflow for storing and delivering all the metadata needed for a model’s release and full audit trail are the security required for the model to be considered production-ready. It is a part of the measures.
These practices can greatly increase the likelihood that an AI project will move from concept to production. practices that need to be applied once the product is customer-ready.
Maintain production of AI models
Returning to the car analogy: In a production environment, there is no clear “check engine” light for AI, so the data team must constantly monitor the model. Unlike traditional software projects, it’s important to keep data scientists and engineers in the project even after the model is deployed.
From an operational perspective, this requires more resources in terms of both human capital and cost. This may be the reason why many organizations cannot do this. The pressure to keep up with the pace of the business and move on to the “next thing” is also taken into account, but perhaps the biggest oversight is that even IT leaders don’t expect model degradation to be a problem. That is.
For example, in medical care, the model analyzes electronic medical records (EMRs) and a patient may develop an emergency C section based on risk factors such as obesity, smoking, drug use, and other health determinants. Can be predicted. If patients are dubbed high risk, their practitioners may ask them to come earlier or more often to reduce pregnancy complications.
T? Have they been diagnosed with gestational diabetes? There are also subtle differences in how clinicians ask questions and record their answers in hospital records, which can have different consequences.
This can be even more difficult given the NLP tools most practitioners use. The majority of respondents in the previous survey (83%) said they used at least one of the following NLP cloud services: AWS Comprehend, Azure Text Analytics, Google Cloud Natural Language AI, or IBM Watson NLU. While the popularity and accessibility of cloud services is clear, technology leaders cite the difficulty and cost of adjusting models as a major challenge. Basically, even professionals are committed to maintaining the accuracy of the model in production.
Another problem is that it takes time to see if something is wrong. The period can vary significantly. Amazon is updating its fraud detection algorithm, which may inadvertently block customers in the process. Within hours, and possibly minutes, a customer service email will point out the problem. In health care, it can take several months to get enough data under certain conditions to confirm that the model has deteriorated.
Basically, to keep your model accurate, you need to apply the same rigorous testing, retraining pipeline automation, and measurements that were performed before the model was deployed. When working with AI and ML models in a production environment, it’s better to anticipate problems than to expect optimal performance in the coming months.
Considering all the work required to move a model to production and keep it safe, it’s understandable why 87% of data projects aren’t on the market. Nonetheless, 93% of tech leaders have shown that their NLP bu (Radiant flow). It’s encouraging to see more investment in NLP technology, but it’s all in vain unless the company knows the expertise, time, and continuous updates needed to deploy a successful NLP project. ..

i got some street art for you mother fuckers </s> While some marketers are very focused on conversion rates as the ultimate measure of success for a given campaign, there's something else worth keeping an eye on: purchase intent. This predictive statistic helps give marketers a sense of how effective their marketing message is and can help them identify not just if a message is being received, but how it's being received as well. For instance, high reach might show that consumers are seeing your ads, but if purchase probability is low, consumers are simply scrolling past your campaigpurchase intent is high while other statistics remain low, you can use the power of integrated media to help close the gap between your metrics. Here's how:
A Consistent Social Message
Though this might seem like a fragmented strategy, Target Marketing Mag explained that customers respond to relevant, multimedia touch points to inform and accelerate their purchase paths. Using multiple types of media, marketers can remind customers of their product multiple times in slightly different ways and can turn browsers into buyers. While it's true that one size doesn't always fit all, a media strategy with multiple facets can work if planned and implemented correctly.
Every business' marketing strategy looks different. For yours, include integrated media every step of the way, as it can help your business move customers along on this journey and hopefully lead to higher purchase intent and increased conversions.

Nature abhors a vacuum, even when it is a demographic one. Given the slightest chance, something will always rush in to fill a vacuum, until the pressure differential between source and destination is equalized. The flow is always from higher pressure to lower pressure. Migrants move from nations with large, poor and growing populations to nations with low, rich and declining populations.
Germany’s shrinking, indigenous population is gradually but inexorably being replaced by migrants from Islamic nations, as happens in virtually all European nations (Poland is an exception).
Trequired to pay the debts and the far greater unfunded liabilities when those come due are no longer being born and raised. It is very doubtful that the new Islamic migrants will, not that they even could, if they wanted to. Debt financing by governments through inter-generational transfer of debt may be fine when a nation’s own descendants are the ones to be burdened, but why would migrants from underdeveloped nation educated in a foreign ideology and totally different ethics be willing to take on those obligations? The share per household of those massive debts are presently in the order of a million dollars on average (in Canada, about $350,000 for

Article courtesy of MARKET MORSEL | BY Matt Dalgleish , TEM
Biosecurity measures have been ramped up and travellers coming into Australia have been warned to be vigilant for the risk of bringing foot and mouth disease (FMD) into the country, particularly after reports of FMD being found in cattle in Bali. Given the proximity of FMD to Australia and the large numbers of travellers/holiday makers coming into the country or returning home via Bali the risk assessment of an incursion of FMD into Australia in the next five years has increased from 9% to just under 12%.
Check out our analysis piece on FMD released in May 2022 here.
Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a highly infectious virus, mostly spread by biting insects or close contact with infected animals. LSD is not harmful to humans, but can infect cattle and buffalo, causing a range of animal welfare issues and production losses. In a statement issued in February 2022ipp, warned that an incursion of LSD into Australia would pose serious trade implications across the live cattle trade, and limit the export oucts.
Currently LSD is isolated to Indonesia’s northern island of Sumatra and there is a vaccination program underway presentlyThe difficulty in containing the virus is the ability for it to be spread via biting insects, such as flies, mosquitos and ticks. Herein lies the risk for Australia, should the disease continue to spread to islands within closer proximity to Australia.
Modelling on the long distance dispersal of insects via tropical storms from southern Indonesian islands, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea undertaken from 2007 to 2012 demonstrated that a large region of northern Australia was susceptible to the incursion of infected insects (see shaded area on map, below). Indeed, the risk assessment of the likelihood of an LSD incursion into Australia in the next five years is estimated at a 28% chance, significantly higher than the 11.6% chance of incursion given to FMD.

"You plant 10 and you see how many will grow, and you continue to test your soil," she said. "We will help kids understand soil content. We will also look at sandy soils and see what happens when we add compost and biochar, so the kids can see how the different elements change how plants grow."
"Randi Jo will teach classes where kids can learn about mindfulness, where they will notice and be part of the peaceful spaces in the garden," she said. "A lot of gardening is being mindful of nature. You're paying attention to the worms and bugs in the soil. You're also paying attention to how your plants are growing and the environments around them. You pay attention to the pests. So you're very mindful about what's happening in the garden to help it grow better. And noticing details will help them be better gardeners."

American Blackjack is one of the most popular Blackjack games from Betsoft. The great thing about the American Blackjack by Betsoft is house edge is small, which is around 50.65%. Keep in mind that you can only get this kind of house edge if you play a great Blackjack strategy. Also, there are slight nuances between American Blackjack and regular Blackjack.
Idifferences between the American Blackjack and regular Blackjack. Since American Blackjack is different, you also have to adjust your strategy, and we will discuss that in the later parts of the article.
With Betsoft’s American Blackjack, there are 3 positions for you to play. You can choose to “sit down” on just one, or “sit down” on all 3; which means you can get 3 hands per round. To place a bet, there’s a selection of chip sizes in the bottom right portion of the screen. You simply choose your chip value, and click “place bet.” When you want the round to start, simply click on the “deal” button.
 Unfortunately, you cannot re-split.
With Betsoft’s American Blackjack, you are able to double down after you choose to split your cards.
You can take an insurance if the dealer gets an Ace. Insurance pays 2 to 1.
You also have the option to bet that the dealer will get a Blackjack on an Ace. The Blackjack bet pays 3 to 2.
When it comes to doubling down, you only have such if your cards total to 10 and 11.
Since Betsoft is behind this game, you can expect a high-quality experience. The graphics are easy on the eyes and non-cluttered. The cards nicely flip across the screen. Also, you have 3 speed options to choose from. Your game options a.
Standard Blackjack card counting can be applied. However, since the deck shuffled for every round, the effectiveness of such strategy is reduced.

Jamming Outside The Box With Relatable Hip Hop
“I consider myself to be original in the sense of trying to stay outside the box,” says the artist, “creating songs that people can relate to, some will and some will not, but I also love to dance and I think that mixed with being an MC brings a different flavor so I consider myself to be my own surprise because I never know what crazy innovative idea I will think of next that will hopefully continue to change hip-hop.”

Background: Bre Screening test and early diagnosis for cancer are some of the best tools to prevent cancer morbidity and mortality. and Pap test screening for early diagnosis of cervical cancer. The study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge of women about cancer screening test.
Methodology: In 2017/18 the second round of ADHS (Albania Demographic Health Study) was carried out in Albania. AA comparison of the result from ADHS 2008-09 and 2017-18 was conducted about knowledge of women 15-49 years on cancer screening tests.
Results: Between two surveys 2008-09 and 2017-18, knowledge about mammography test in women of urban areas was increased from 84.5% to 93% and from 68% to 87% in rural areas. Also knowledge about Pap-test between two surveys was increased from 67% to 84% in urban areas and from 33.4% to 66% in rural areas. In both surveys knowledge about cancer screening test was strongly associated with education and wealth of women. The more educated and wealthy the women were, the more knowledge they had about screening tests for breast cancer and cervical cancer.
Conclusion: National awareness campaigns conducted by Institute of Public Health each year for breast cancer and cervical cancer are an effective way to make women aware of how to prevent the development of these cancersrolled in screening programs in order to prevent their premature death from these cancers.

Combatting fake news has become a full-time industry – whether through the growing network of fact-checkers, or the specialised teams in media organisations to filter out false information. The problem is not just one of supply but also of demand. We search out news from people we trust such as friends or family. We click on information that appeals to our emotions. Meanwhile, social media algorithms make it less likely for us to be exposed to information that challenges or disproves our views.
Journalism is searching for new forms and there are many exciting developments and experiments going on. For some media, the future entails both informing and engaging its readers as a community that contributes to uncovering the truth. But trusting the information we consume is key. Journalists have to gain that trust. How they do so is a challenge on which the future of our democracies dependsStephePhoto by Bernard Hermant on Unsplash </s> Cheap Motels MakeMyTrip

I think this sounds like a really interesting premise! It can still use some tightening up to make it more concise and sharp.
For her sixteenth birthday, River learned to erase memories of those with tormented pasts.
The lead in sentence is good. It grabbed my attention right away. It did raise the question immediately for me of "How did she learn to do this?" and "How does she do this?".
She writes them in an animated Memory Book, but the memories come alive through her. When terrifying memories cloud her mind, River must find a way to terminate the Book before it wipes out her real identity.
I started getting a bit confused with your second sentence. It seems confusing how they come alive through her if she is writing them in a memory book,then how do they come alive through her? Literally? Does she enact them? Also, would destroying the book get rid of her power? Does she have a choice about this power? Maybe that needs to be addressed.
She learns some memories are made to live over and over again but some memories are best forgotten.
The last sentence is not needed, it seems very cliche. Use the space for something concise and specific. Make each word count.
Also, the stakes aren't really made clear. You do state that River needs to terminate the book before it wipes out her identity. How so? And if she does destroy the book, what then? There are a lot of unanswered questions.
I do think that this is a very interesting premise; but it is left rather wide-open with too many generalities and not enough specifics to questions that need to be answered. I know this does get tough when you are limited to so few words. However, I think you have something really unique here. Good luck!
You're story sounds really interesting. My thoughts, first reaction. Opening sentence, firstly, it's a great hook. Does she learn or does she discover a gift that becomes her curse? 2nd sentence. Is it an animated memory book that she writes in or is it simply a journal. "but the memories become alive through her" does this mean that the memories are now becoming her memories... That could be awful. As Jodie mentions you need to comment on what struggle she then has, does she try destroying the book? What are the stakes, losing her own mind?
Good luck with your pitch, it's a terrific idea for a story.
Thank you both for the comments! They have helped me see what I need to do to fix my pitch!
Ok, so, as in Sleeping Beauty, River is given a "gift" only it's from her Grandfather. It's a good gift, but they must be written down in the memory book to stay forgotten. The Book must stay with River or they can "come alive" The memories become the memories of River, which means River remembers all the memories she erased from others. She begins to lose her identity because of the memories that are not hers. That's the stakes. She can't remember who she is.
She's on a mission to save someone else, but when she looses her own memory, how can she save someone she can't remember?
This sounds like something I would read, I really like your setup.
For her sixteenth birthday, River Morgan received the gift of erasing memories, along with an antimated Memory Book. She must write the memories in her Book to keep them from becoming her own. When her Book is stolen, River doesn't know who she is anymore, but destroying the Book is not an option. Unless she wants to destroy everyone ever written in the Bookimated Memory Book.
Actually I have one more question, what is the order in which she receives these things? Is it that she gets the ability then the book?
On her sixteenth birthday River Morgan inherits the family responsibility of easing memories that are too difficult to bear. She is also provided a book in whose animated pages she can place the memories, before they become her own.
Or is it she gets the book and learns its purpose?
On her sixteenth birthday River Morgan is given a book whose animated pages hold memories too bitter to bear. When she discovers she can remove just such memories from people, she realizes the book is necessary to store the memories before they become her own.
Only when a memory disappears after someone dies does River realize the book is linked to each person in it. OR After removing too many memories from a rape victim she realizes the book is still linked to the people whose experiences are in it.
I'm confused by this part. If it's stolen how does she even have the option to destroy to book? She doesn't have it right? There seems to be a stop missing here.
Here if you've already built the link to the people before it's stolen the stake becomes having the book and the power of that link, right? Or is her struggle with memories the more important stake here?
When her book is stolen the memories she's compelled to remove threaten to overwhelm River leaving her torn between helping people and loosing her sense of self.
When the book is stolen, River not only struggles with her sense of self as her gift still calls memories, she deals with the knowledge that if the book is destroyed, the people connected to it may well be too.
I guess I have one more, very basic question which I think you really need to work in here: WHY does she do this? What good comes out of it? … and then what bad will occur when she has to stop (aside from her mental fragility). Because I'm not getting the impression her mental state is the most important factor when the book goes missing. IF it is, you need to incorporate that more.
The removal of the change and the BAD which will now happen because of it.
River Morgan receives two gifts for her sixteenth birthday, the ability to remove horrendous memories and a book to store them in. River secretly uses her ability to help soldiers with PTSD and discovers the book is linked to each person whose memory is in it. When the book is stolen River knows she must get it back because its destruction could kill everyone linked to it.
This gives me a lot to work with! All these suggestions have been helpful:) I really appreciate the advice!
River Morgan receives two gifts on her sixteenth birthday: the power to erase tormenting memories and an animated book to store them for safe keeping. River secretly uses her talent to help a stranger and discovers he had sinister reasons for requesting her services. When the book is stolen River must get it back because its powers could destroy not only her, but all those written within the book's pages.
woah! You just got me ten times more interested with this pitch!!! It's amazing how just changing a few lines can truly draw in a reader. The first one, I thought, "huh...that could be interesting." This one, I was like "wow, I want to read that!" Why? You gave me more. I like the whole stranger part that she was helping and him having sinister purposes being introduced.
Suggestions: (I know...argggh..lol). The first line now makes it sound totally different than before. If I hadn't read your other pitches, I would have taken from this sentence that it was to erase just her own tormenting memories. (Don't know why, and that may just be me.)So, then when you keep going, it seems contradictory.
I think Ellie gave you some super suggestions.
Another thought...are these expected gifts? Did she know they were coming? If not, maybe throw that in there.
River Morgan receives two unexpected gifts on her sixteenth birthday--the power to erase tormenting memories from those around her,Secretly using her power to help a stranger takes a dark turn after she discovers he sought her out for sinister purposes. When the book is stolen, River must get it back before its powers destroy not only her, but all those linked to the book's pages.
Okay, there is a MAJOR reason River was given this gift, but it's not something handed down through the family.
*think Sleeping Beauty* which is the "backdrop" of my story.
The person who gave her the gift was her Grandfather, and he plays a huge role in the story, but he is not a MC.
The memory book was given to River to help River ( for a secret mission which I can not reveal *hehe*), but the "bad guys" want the book to gain the power only River has. No one else can erase memories. and they want that power to use for evil.
So, I love your suggestions and will be working on something new to post soon
River secretly uses her talent to help a stranger, but her kindness takes a dark turn when she discovers he sought her out for sinister reasons.
I must say that I really, really like this last revision! Especially the first and third paragraphs. I'm not sure about the middle sentence/paragraph. It feels a bit vague to me. Personally, I think your pitch is good w/o it. Maybe just add how they will be "destroyed" instead.

These books are more than PDF's they are eBooks.
Today I am offering you a lot of information on the topic of eBooks. It may take more than one read to chew through the information, but this post is sure to serve as a great resource for you.
Two processes have been created to format book material. One is the format used for Kindle and the other is the epub format used with iPad, Nook, Cobo (a device used by many international readers). If you choose to publish your book as an eBook and want to have a greater amount of sales, consider formatting you book for both formats.
Lately, I've seen several books produced by Smashwords. They do eBook conversions for free and use their own distribution system. Some users have reported quality issues, although I didn't see any in the eBooks I happened to read. Just be careful to proof--very carefully. Authors using this format can receive a royalty rate of 65-80%.
Authors need to be careful to check the rules before also formatting a book to a second format. While the intent is to reach a wider audience, legal issues could arise.
*A second type charges a small up front fee then takes a moderate portion of the royalties.
For example: One Source is a company that charges about $800 up front (as of this time) then gives 100% royalty to the author.
3. There are many steps to publishing an eBook. Authors need to weigh in the time costs.
6. Easier to take an eBook global than traditional. Third world countries are able to download texts from books onto their cell phones.
7. There is a stigma that eBooks have poor quality. Anyone can throw something out on the Internet. Authors need to take the responsibility to proof and insure the quality of their eBook. The more quality eBooks reach the market the greater the trust will be in the product. Self publishing is not a second class choice.
*Be sure to do your homework.
*Talk with others who have self published.
*See ompanies and software.
*Take notes as you go through the process
From traditional publishing, Dave transitioned to independent publishing, first serving authors through a revolutionary digital print solutions company called Snowfall Press, which later led to a new printer called BookPrintOnDemand.com, a full service print-on-demand company. In September 2013, Dave became President of Christian Writers Guild, co-owned with Jerry B. Jenkins, and merged this organization with Believers Press, an eleven-year-old indie-publishing company.
YOUR TURN: Do you have any experiences you can share with us about self publishing. What did you think? Was it easy to learn? How has it been going?
I sat in on one of Dave's workshops at Maranatha. Very interesting and helpful. It's great to hear how much self-publishing has changed over the years and how it's no longer something to avoid.
Thanks for this recap, Mary.
Interesting stuff, Mary on the changing perspectives of the industry.
Great info here! Thanks Dave!
So true. I was amazed how much of the ACFW conference classes incorporated self-pub info. We are all working toward one goal

How much for those memories?
Today’s Foto Friday is brought to you by Augie Chang Photography. We did our maternity pics with him back in October, and it’s high time I share.
Yes, I have granny-panties on my baby registry. What of it?
I found it amusing how different this registry was over G’s. G had all the cutesy baby items: rattles, blankets, clothes. S2 on the other hand? Bottle nipples, space heater, baby drugs, and underpants. Yes, you got that right: undies. For ME. Plain, comfy, and cheap. Knowing that I’m about to get 9 months of my period in a row, I wanna live in something that I won’t regret ruining and will easily fit the you-can-suck-the-Nile-dry absorption-grade pads I have to wear.
I had to call the store the other week to follow-up on my missing completion coupon, and the guy on the other side had to access my registry to see what was going on. I wonder if he was perplexed over why our baby picks resembled the shopping list of an undergrad college student vs. that of a giddy expecting mom. But you know what?
But are the boys worth it? Oh yeah. 10x over.
Doctor updates: 0cm dilated, but 25% effaced. Since she’s not my regular OB (I’m doing the office rotation thing right now), she doesn’t know if this implies progress, or this is just the norm for my body so far. Dr. M hadn’t mentioned anything about the thinning of my cervix, or feeling “different” this pregnancy, so I have no idea. Either way, I NEED S2 to hold out another 2 weeks… at least for me. Oh, and he’s also facing into my hip. Just like G. If he’s got his cord wrapped around his neck, then it will be JUST like G’s delivery. I’m already ready for a c/s, so this isn’t a problem. I just don’t want to go through another 10 hours of labor, dedicated for a VBAC only to end up in the OR again. Arg!
I’m not a lush. Really.
Weight: 151.6lb. By the way, HOLY growth spurt!!! If you look at my belly this week vs. last, major difference. Kinda explains the 2.5lb weight gain. Someone’s putting on the poundage. I just hope it’s the kid, not the mom.
Measuring: 40.5″ across my widest point.
Feeling: Overall good, and progressively more excited about my next life transition here.

If we're just going for a reaction, then the only requirement for questions is that they be either impossible or hilarious. They can be made up on the spot like KoG said since they have no real bearing on whether the applicant is accepted or not.
If we want a serious quiz however, some standardized questions would be best along with a couple wild cards based on the applicant. Some sample questions for the more serious quiz would be "name the first poster in the original ammo topic" or "how many master chiefs are in drugs' personal comment"
A third option would to have an odd mix of the two quizzes; like a serious quiz with some obviously not-serious questions mixed in. We'd decide on whether the person could join by their reaction to the impossible/not serious questions like in the first type of quiz.

. If these forecasts are correct, the rate of population growth (a partial indicator for housing demand) will be the lowest since 1917. Most recent statistics suggest the decline in population growth is due to lack of overseas migration, which is expected to drop from approximately 232,000 net migrants in the 2018/19 financial year, to just 31,000 in 2020/21, with the impact affecting different markets.
In the last thirty years, net overseas migration has accounted for 51% of Australia’s population growth, according to CoreLogicigrants paints the picture of how this shift will play a key role in the housing market. For example, temporary migrants, those most likely to rent instead of buy, make up 70% of Australian migrants, many of them classified as students or visitors. A sharp drop in migration rates is likely to bring about a weaker rental demand in this regard, rather than affect sales demand. Geographically, Sydney and Melbourne will be impacted the most.
A higher volume of rental listings and a decrease in rental values may mean investors are looking at higher vacancy rates, with the potential of more forced sales in affected areas. This could in turn increase the supply of sales listings, which could potentially work to match the buyer demand monthSydney housing market, and despite a change in pattern throughout Winter due to Covid, we’re set to have a heavy auction weekend ahead. There are 870 capi, according to CoreLogic, similar to last week when 866 auctions were conducted. This time last year, 1639ith Melbourne in stage 4 lockdown, they have reached a record low in their respective auction market with just 13 auctions set for this week, down from 826 the same week in 2019, which is an indicator as to why the entire number of scheduled auctions is down across capital cities. As for Sydney, which has 653 scheduled auctions for this week, it appears the number of auctions held are constantly tracking higher than this time last year, which has been the case since mid-June. With travel and school holidays affected, seasonally, numbers have been more consistent than usual and the market has remained resilient.

though others were still talking. It appears to be possible, but it probably also requires substantial real-world practice for a new habit to become consistently spontaneous. So, we should choose to intentionally think of a potentially difficult situation, and then mentally practice how we would cope in a better way with our response. Come to think of it, that is exactly what Epictetus recommends when approaching a swim in a public swimming pool. But, to make these new habits actually work, we need to occasionally go to the “swimming pool.”Katherine Davis

- Gayed also sees certain sectors in the stock market benefiting from the oncoming onslaught in bonds.
There’s an old adage on Wall Street that bonds are always right.
But with the way the bond market has been behaving of late, you’d expect to be in the midst of a cataclysm, not within spitting distance of record highs for stocks.
The line that Gayed is referencing is from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. At the FOMC’s last policy announcement, he said the Fed may have to “resume organic growth of the balance sheet.” Powell’s exact message behind that sentence is up for interpretation, but what we do know is the Fed won’t hesitate to expand their operations — a practice known as quantitative easing, or QE — in the face of uncertainty.
In fact, it already appears to be happening. After a steady decline, the FOMC has recently added hundreds of billions of dollars to their balance sheet to address liquidity concerns and keep interest rates within their preferred range. And many believe this could just be the beginn“You could very easily see the mother of all corrections in the bond market here,” he said. “I suspect you’re going to have traditional behavior in the bond market take place, which means that every time the Fed has enacted some kind of balance sheet expansion — some kind of QE — the bond market sold off.”
That’s a bit of an anomaly. After all, quantitative easing (QE) is supposed to lower interest rates by adding liquidy to the system.

The relationship is undeniable. When QE is enacted, bonds violently selloff.

"I was able to keep my head up because of the support that my teammates and my coaches have shown me throughout this adversity," Lewis said. "But I feel like they really helped me and they've all had my back and helped me continue to grow."
"We stood behind B-Lew," Rice said. "We knew what we were capable of in the beginning of the season; we knew that we could be electric.

"I think this game really for me and the receivers, we trusted, we know we can do this," Lewis said. "We know we can make plays; it's just a matter of time. I think this game really is going to boost us through the rest of this season to continuously just make plays."

GSH or MPA coated QDs typically have the hydrodynamic size of ~ 10-12 nm diameter, while PEG coated have ~ 20 nm. PEG coated QDs have much better performance than GSH or MPA coated in terms of stability and solubility — e.g. GSH coated QDs can be dissolved in neutral solution, MPA coated QDs can be dissolved in neutral or basic solution, but PEG coated show good solubility in a wider pH range from 5-11.
By default, we provide water-soluble QDs dispersed in water, typically 20 nM GSH or MPA coated QDs or 10 nM PEG coated QDs in 4 ml of water. Upon customer’s request, we also provide water-soluble QDs in solid states, which can be simply dissolved by adding water or buffer.

          sprintf(buffer + strlen(buffer), "\n");
Practically, this function will read a list since the list pointer is not null. But at the end of the function, the function will return a (null) string, I think because it will return the first instance on stack, that had (null). How can I return all the information red from the list?

So here goes…"Building value in investee companies…
Building a business and managing your investment funding is about identifying and doing the things that create value in a business. So, if we did an initial investment at say a valuation of $2m, we need to ask and answer the question "what do we need to do to grow the value to say $6m". From an investment point of view the valuation should be increasing significantly at each subsequent investment round. So what's the justification for value increase?

Emmco Builders believes in using complete and matching roofing components when replacing a roof. Don’t let the other guys tell you that it doesn’t matter?
When it comes to roofing, homeowners often miss out on the opportunity to fully optimize their homes. Most are unaware of the many different steps and layers it takes to build a complete roofing system. From starter strips to underlayment to shingles and the hip and ridge, there are a number of different levels that make up a home’s roof. If you are unaware of allyour home will be layered with a potpourri of roofing products. It is important that you don’t accept random parts put together to complete your roof. By purchasing a complete roofing system from one manufacturer, you get the opportunity to fully optimize your roof and provide yourself a complete peace of mind.
You wouldn’t walk out of your home in plaid and stripes, would you? Why would you dress your home up in a mix and match group of products? For the fashion conscious, you wouldn’t wear a Nike shirt with Adidas pants…while sporting Under Armour shoes. Well, let’s hope not. The same can be said about the various layers that make up your roof. Don’t style your home with random brands and think that they will look good or work cohesively together.
And while style matters, it’s more than just a fashion statement. When you make the decision to go with a single roofing manufacturer for your roofing system, you know that the individual pieces, when installed properly, will complement one another. It’s not just pulling random puzzle pieces from a variety of boxes and hoping they will fit neatly to give you a perfect picture. You know exactly what you are getting. And it is because of this many manufacturers have clauses that could void your warranty if the shingles, underlayment, or other components aren’t installed with the correct specifcorrectly.
Not only do some warranties get voided if you mix and match roofing products from multiple manufacturers, but you are also rewarded on a more positive level warranty-wise for getting the complete roofing system from one. When you have all four pieces (starter shingle, hip and ridge, underlayment, and shingle), there is confidence with the knowledge that all the pieces of your roof fit together correctly. Now you can have your warranty upgraded from just a standard warranty to a signature warranty. What this means for you is that you can increase the warranty coverage of your roof by possibly five to ten years, depending on your shingle style. So it pays to have a complete system that you can trust as you add a little security.
When you purchasethen you know that every piece was built to work seamlessly with one another. This added security works in your favor, as the grouping that it will add years to your warranty. And if nothing else, you now have the perfect fit of all matching pieces. The complete roofing system is the only way to go when it comes to covering your home.

With PALA, the intention is to focus on unusual color combinations and collage-like line work that may otherwise clash, but are threaded together to find a kind of balance. Think Harmonious Clashing.
All work is thrown, built, or glazed by hand. Each piece is unique, and though there are multiples of each, they will inevitably be slightly different each time.
