The article itself repeatedly suggests the same: “The United States said it was investigating what struck the hospital during the night.” It’s a fascinating whodunit and the U.S. is determined to get to the bottom of it. Offering a tantalizing clue, CNN notes that “the circumstances weren’t immediately clear, but the U.S. military was conducting an airstrike in Kunduz at the time the hospital was hit, U.S. Army Col. Brian Tibus said.” So the U.S. commits a repugnant atrocity that, at the very best, was reckless, and CNN can’t bring itself to state clearly who did it.
In at least one case , parents had to present a Do Not Resuscitate order they had signed for their son to prove that they really would have terminated the pregnancy.
Brandon, MB – Birthday boy Martin Gernat had a two goal effort and goaltender Laurent Brossoit posted a 24 save shutout to guide the Oil Kings to a 6-0 win over the Wheat Kings on Wednesday night in Brandon. With the victory, the Oil Kings completed the sweep of the Wheat Kings and their second straight series sweep in the 2012 playoffs. Edmonton extends their winning streak to 19 games and has advanced to the 2012 Husky Eastern Conference Championship for the first time in modern franchise history.
If the Massachusetts law is struck down, it makes it that much harder for communities to protect women who are exercising their constitutional right to access abortion from harassment by, and potential violence from, anti-woman and anti-choice extremists.
When this was brought to Adolf Hitler's attention, he ordered the shackling of Canadian prisoners, which led to a reciprocating order by British and Canadian authorities for German prisoners being held in Canada. [47] Though the Canadians were opposed to the plan, which they considered a danger to Canadian POWs in German hands, they reluctantly implemented it to maintain unity with the British. Nevertheless, as the Canadians expected, the shackling order led directly to trouble and the only known uprising at a Canadian prisoner of war camp during World War II, the so-called "Battle of Bowmanville".
We describe “Shevlin Park”, a prototype implementation of Microsoft’s C++AMP built on CLANG, LLVM, and OpenCL. We fully describe Shevlin Park’s implementation including how CLANG/LLVM can be augmented to easily accommodate C++AMP programming constructs, how C++AMP computation can be expressed as OpenCL compute kernels, and finally how the C++AMP runtime library can be easily implemented on an OpenCL runtime. Using several benchmarks, we evaluate Shevlin Park’s performance, Microsoft’s DirectX based C++AMP, and also conventional OpenCL.
Ed Feddeman and Richard Obermann of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee staff also briefed CAPS. Feddeman is the Republican staff director of the Space and Aeronautics subcommittee, while Obermann is the Democratic Chief of Staff for the full committee. Both were pessimistic about the chances for Congress to reach resolution on FY2013 budgets before the end of the fiscal year on September 30, and sequestration is the “largest cloud on the horizon,” Feddeman said. If Congress does not change existing law, sequestration will go into effect on January 1, 2013 with 7-8 percent across-the-board cuts to federal agencies including NASA.
Three months after a Columbia University investigation found major journalistic errors in a Rolling Stone report on campus sexual assault at the University of Virginia, major news outlets say they have not adjusted their approach to covering similar stories. But rape survivor advocates say they have seen less coverage of the issue since the failures of the Rolling Stone report came to light, and, in some cases, an increased hesitancy in trusting survivors' accounts.
In 2002, an extensive and lengthy inquiry by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that the Hatch-Waxman legislation or Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act (which was instrumental in establishing the US generic pharmaceuticals industry) had resulted in as many as 75% of new drug applications by generic drug manufacturers experiencing legal actions under patent laws by the original brand name patent owner. These were driving up US drug costs by keeping the cheaper generic versions off the market.
By Wednesday morning it was evident that “The Interview” release was in jeopardy. Carmike, a major theater chain in the South and Midwest, was the first to announce it wouldn’t show the movie at all, and two smaller chains, Bow Tie (New York and Virginia) and ArcLight (Southern California), rapidly followed suit. But sitting here amid the cushioned cynicism of the New York media sphere, I still really didn’t believe it. Was a worldwide media giant really going to capitulate and throw in the towel on a major Christmas movie expected to make hundreds of millions of dollars?
Feat chains make the game less approachable for new players and push system mastery as a barrier to entry.
Director Andy Sandberg tries to keep the pace moving, but Elmegreen and Fornarola’s long, mostly two -person scenes, that revolve around a couch, make it difficult. The ending is a twist that feels abrupt and un-earned, though perhaps with an intermission and a more developed second act, its consequences might be further explored and head into interesting territory that could keep Straight from feeling so dated (the choice to keep Gavigan in rotating turtlenecks doesn’t help). Straight might have felt topical 30 years ago, but in 2016 feels as though it was written in a wildly different reality.

While they’re fighting these internecine battles, Trump is quietly taking more of the ground the Democrats are giving up without a fight. His reinstatement of the Mexico City policy, barring funds from international agencies that perform or promote abortion, has solidified his support among religious conservatives. Withdrawing from Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, meeting with union leaders and threatening tough actions against Chinese trade violations have locked in his support from working-class voters.
Regardless of whether these claims would actually stand up in court, they’re unlikely to decide the case — constitutional arguments tend to get addressed only if the court can’t resolve the case based on less heady legal grounds. The fact that Verizon is making these arguments, however, worries Sohn. "It's trying to completely wall off internet services from any lawsuit," he says, and it would make regulating telecoms almost impossible. "This is basically Verizon claiming that it has a First Amendment right to block the free expression of users. To us, that turns the First Amendment on its head."
David James, a partner at Vivid Video, says that within a few years, video-on-demand will be the company's biggest revenue source, outstripping even sales of videocassettes.
KATHY MULVEY: Sure. I mean, we see Congressman Smith’s attack as an abuse of power and really an attempt to bully and intimidate the State Public Prosecutors and groups like the Union of Concerned Scientists that are carrying out our public interest mission. We’re not going to be intimidated. We’re going to continue to ensure that officials like Maura Healey in Massachusetts and Eric Schneiderman in New York have access to the best available science on which to really make determinations about the conduct of companies like ExxonMobil.
AJ: It’s very early days for us. We are interested in partnerships, especially with game designers in development on Oculus Rift projects. We are definitely interested in partnerships in the 360 degree video space too. The number of projects we take on will partially determine the speed at which we can release new sample packages, but we would like to release at least one new package per month for the foreseeable future. The more developers who download our samples, the faster we can scale up our team and release even more content. We have ideas for dozens of sample packages.
Then the high elf kingdom, who now basically rule the world, try to extinguish all the high mages and priests of Corellon Lorethian to stop themselves from ever being cursed the way the dark elves were. And now all of the sudden the elf kingdoms are uniting to stop this blatantly expansionist empire.
ALAIN DE BOTTON: Yeah, I mean, what most religions do is they take people - at certain time of the year, calendar, week - and they put them in a place, and they say, "You are very small in the larger perspective - in the cosmos, in the eyes of God", whatever it is. Religion relativises us, make us small. And though feeling small could seem like a bad thing - like, "Eh, don't make me feel small!

But when such an attitude is adopted toward our fellow human beings — natural strength takes on a moral form — we come close to social Darwinism. A natural thought is that what is inherently weak or ugly should be fixed. If it cannot be fixed, or if we are not allowed to fix it, since this would mean that we had to resort to “artificial” means, we are likely to react in all sorts of nasty manners. We do not want to face what is ugly or weak, we want it out of our sight.
The performance was the last show in the US for MGMT in 2010. Their first 2011 gig was at Mar del Plata, Argentina, in front of a crowd of more than 40,000 on the beach in a free event which they headlined. [30] MGMT began their first Asian tour on February 22, 2011. [31] On September 22, 2011 MGMT performed the Pink Floyd song "Lucifer Sam" during Late Night with Jimmy Fallon's "Pink Floyd Week". [32]
Minions can also trigger it and it can be heard and seen through the fog of war.Here are six different sounds that can play:: This is very reminiscent of things like the, andteasers! Assuming this is a teaser for a new champion, similarly styled teasers in the past have been at least a full patch apart from when the champion is released - which would put this at a ~6.16 release, which fits in with comments we'd have a new champion by 6.18. This is all a guess though, stay tuned for more information! ]Here's a brief preview of the OBLITERATOR sounds!
The new 10 gigabit connection – delivered through a millimeter wave radio link that delivers high-speed, low-latency, full-duplex wireless data connectivity – utilizes technology provided by Vubiq Networks, a leading innovator in millimeter wave wireless broadband. Through the new technology, commercial tenants at 2 Gateway will have the ability to purchase affordable access to a wireless connection offering speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second.
“We used this program during the legislative markup. Bills live or die by their markup. We broadcast a stable video stream of the proceedings … while following line by line. We used it to give other user proposals thumbs up and thumbs down. Everything from a Congressional markup was modeled online. And we used it to identify who was taking what out and who was putting what in … tearing away the shroud of secrecy and injecting accountability. “Citizens actually could participate and make their voices heard. At last, someone authentically had invited all the stakeholders into the room.
'A short time ago, a missile apparently passed above this area. 'If you find suspicious objects, please don't go near them and immediately call police or firefighters. 'Please take cover in secure buildings or underground.' Morning commuters in northernmost Hokkaido were greeted by warning signs at train stations - bringing many rail services to a halt. At one metro station in Sapporo, a major city of nearly two million, passengers were warned there would be delays. 'All lines are experiencing disruption,' said one sign. 'Reason: Ballistic missile launch.' Commuters took the government messages to heart.
College students who are non-residents of Malappuram municipality can also access the connectivity and their applications are also under the consideration of municipality.The municipality is also launching an electronic medical record (EMR) system and e-tutor programme as part of the project.EMR is a centralized online medical record of each resident of the municipality that can be accessible from anywhere. Urban affairs minister Manjalamkuzhi Ali will inaugurate the EMR system, at the same function.Through its free Wi-Fi cover, the municipality is also planning to provide free education services including video lessons and unlimited practice questions to students.
While not instantaneous like its machine counterparts such as Google Translate and Yahoo! Babel Fish, web-based human translation has been gaining popularity by providing relatively fast, accurate translation of business communications, legal documents, medical records, and software localization. [67] Web-based human translation also appeals to private website users and bloggers. [68] Contents of websites are translatable but urls of websites are not translatable into other languages. Language tools on the internet provide help in understanding text. (see reference link). [69]
I cannot, because I always write what I feel—and I'm living in Egypt, and I see how people suffer, and I belong to these people. So I try to find the literary, the artistic, inside their suffering, or through their suffering. I write about human beings—and part of the suffering of the human being is living under a dictator who is willing to kill anybody, and torture everybody, to keep power. I write about how being free and keeping our dignity is a very important thing. And if people can be convinced by novels about that, they are going to revolt.
"Again, I naively thought that, behind our generation, [another one] was coming with more awareness and inclusiveness, and that everything was getting better with each generation. And to see these young, aggrieved, white boys walking with their torches and screaming 'Jews will not replace us!' It was just shocking. Then the night that the President [made his] 'many sides' comment was absolutely abhorrent. Sadly, I feel the movie was made at the right time."
7. New comprehensive regulations to give the Environmental Protection Agency expanded powers to shut down corporations, businesses or any entities that intentionally or recklessly damage the environment and/or criminally prosecute individuals who intentionally damage the environment. We also demand the immediate adoption of the most recent international protocols, including the "Washington Declaration" to cap carbon emissions and implement new and existing programs to transition away from fossil fuels to reusable or carbon neutral sources of power.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) seems oblivious to this history, as rather than follow a strategy of inclusion to ensure liberal support for the nominee in the fall, the DNC is treating any challenge to Secretary Clinton as something to be stifled. Case in point - after having 15 and 25 primary debates in 2004 and 2008 respectively, the DNC is only sanctioning six this time and penalizing participation in any non-sanctioned debates.
For example, suppose the agent is indifferent between A, and the gamble “B if X, C otherwise.” Then it follows from considerations of expected utility that her degree of belief in X, P(X), is given by:
Negotiating for the Seahawks are team contract negotiator Matt Thomas and general manager John Schneider. Matt is a veteran negotiator, with stops in Miami and Cleveland before coming to Seattle, well-versed in the common rejoinder to agents about requested terms: We can’t do that. (I know, I used to say that all the time.) John, whom I know well, is a seasoned “football guy” stressing that every contract must be negotiated with an eye to the greater good of the team. On the other side of the negotiation is a name largely unfamiliar in NFL agent circles: Mark Rodgers.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, when an outsourcing facility distributes or dispenses any drug to any person pursuant to a prescription, such outsourcing facility shall be deemed to S. 3040--C 7 be providing pharmacy services and shall be subject to all laws, rules and regulations governing pharmacies and pharmacy services. § 4.
Why does she use an ethnicity-orientated term, which is inaccurate and offensive! ... I felt hurt when reading Amy Chua's writing. Chinese mothers are not those cold-blooded controlling monsters ..., the Amy Chua creates."
In Kahan’s telling, the HPV vaccine was a symphony of missteps. Its manufacturer, Merck, wanted it fast-tracked onto shelves. They sponsored legislative campaigns in statehouses to make it mandatory. In order to get it to customers quicker they began by approving it for girls before it was approved for boys. All this, he believes, allowed the process to be politicized, while a calmer, slower, more technocratic approach could have kept the peace. "I think it would’ve been appropriate for the FDA, in considering whether to fast-track the vaccine, to consider these science communication risks."
He also said that gathering knowledge is better than accumulating wealth for knowledge gives you protection while wealth needs your protection, and knowledge increases through use while wealth decreases when spent. The benefits of wealth do not remain after it has been spent, but the benefits of learning are eternal.
You don’t have to be a financial professional to understand financial statements or to purchase your own stocks but you do need to understand the basics of financial statements if you are going to manage your own stock portfolio. For a great resource for investors without a finance background, I suggest reading Richard Loth’s "Select Winning Stocks Using Financial Statements." Utilizing the methods described above can go a long way in enabling a value investor to make informed and well-balanced investment decisions.
In a sense, given that so many drivers always wait on bikers, going first, even if you don’t have the right of way, is the best choice for bikers. This isn’t always the case, but awkward “you go, no you go” experiences at intersections can be so common that bikers try to slow their arrival at intersections so that cars know to go first. When that fails, it can seem more efficient to slow down but otherwise assert that you are going through first. (Although not at all the best choice from a safety perspective.)
One of the most important American photographers of the 20th century, Berenice Abbott was born in Springfield, Ohio on July 17, 1898. She was actually named Bernice but while in Europe she changed it to the French spelling of Berenice. Reared by her divorced mother, Berenice would attend the University of Ohio before dropping out and moving to New York City in 1918. She stayed in Greenwich Village with friends and would there meet other bohemians such as Djuna Barnes, Malcolm Cowley and the anarchist, Hippolyte Havel, who “adopted” her.
Hence given a certain general feature of the conceptual scheme which we possess, and given the character of available major categories, things which are, or possess, material bodies must be [epistemologically] basic particulars” (ibid. ).
Of the remaining MPs, one — Richmond—Arthabaska’s André Bellavance — has yet to say a supportive word about his new leader since he narrowly lost the leadership to Beaulieu in June. That leaves Richelieu MP Louis Plamondon who will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his first election (as a Tory) on Sept. 4. At 71, he is both the dean of the House of Commons and the most (only?) likely Bloc incumbent to stick around for another election. If he does he may get to turn off the lights on the party that he helped create almost twenty-five years ago.
That said, even though the Commission has general authority to regulate in this arena, it may not impose requirements that contravene express statutory mandates. Given that the Commission has chosen to classify broadband providers in a manner that exempts them from treatment as common carriers, the Communications Act expressly prohibits the Commission from nonetheless regulating them as such. Because the Commission has failed to establish that the anti-discrimination and anti-blocking rules do not impose per se common carrier obligations, we vacate those portions of the Open Internet Order.
I'm not sold on the idea of voting with your dollar (no matter where I put mine, someone else will give theirs to Wal-mart), but I do believe that together, by withholding our dollars and using our collective voices to fuck with Wal-mart and other companies' supplies of millions of dollars, then we can effect change.
All fees combined, the city will pay $28,750 for the garage's monthly operations -- $850 more than Robotic Parking's proposed fee increase that sparked the debacle.Robotic Parking, however, can still seek legal relief for the alleged infringement of the copyrighted software if the company chooses, Clark said, which adds up to about $45,000 in back bills. "I couldn't foresee this happening anywhere else other than Hoboken," Clark said.On the other side, Hoboken officials said they felt at a distinct disadvantage.
Finally, we found Tesla has been employing a deeper discounting formula to drive sales of inventory models, with all offers expiring this Friday, the last day of the quarter.”
When you get mad,‭ ‬your throat is roused and your voice gets louder.‭ ‬Inside, you feel a certain indescribable strength.‭ L‬iterally (or,‭ ‬I should say,‭ ‬biochemically), the emotion does in fact‭ "‬empower‭" ‬you.‭ ‬For when some opposing force feels threatening--whether it's a contentious spouse or an unnervingly long red light--and, additionally, you feel comfortable confronting this perceived danger--your body automatically secretes adrenaline. This is, after all, the that unquestioningly follows the mind's directive and, reacting to the most primitive of dictates, prepares you to do battle.
After seeing 20 of the newest portfolio WordPress themes of 2012, it is clear that the designers are aiming to provide users with higher levels of customization. Glossy appearances are taking a backseat and the focus is on core functionality and content enhancement. Some of these themes are more apt for business WordPress users, while the more trendy ones are for creative personal blogs and portfolios. But all of them are designed around the portfolio gallery items, enabling the website viewers to enjoy their browsing experience and assisting the website owners in building profits or followers, as the case may be.
There’s quite a few really, a lot of firsts… like the first time you play a big show in Glasgow in the home town, or the first time you play a show outside of the UK, or the first time you come to Australia, they’re all sort of big moments that you never expected when you started the band, when they do happen it’s like ‘bloody hell this is insane’ like for example, coming to Australia which is such a long way away, and it’s the sort of place I didn’t think I’d get to in my life because it’s not like a regular holiday destination I guess for normal people in Britain.
It was pretty ghetto looking but at least I had a professional looking display banner next to me. I was still setting up when the convention doors opened to the public and the wonderful people next to me must have seem me sweating because they offered me a coke.
This is the disease that ended Powell's career. He had good reason for his bitterness -- a black congressman whose staff couldn't even eat in the House cafeteria -- but he marshaled all the slights, all the insults, to excuse an abominable attendance record and contempt for the law. In the end, the very Harlem that today honors Powell turned against him and elected a Korean War vet named Charles Bernard Rangel. Now, all these years later, the omissions, deletions, amendments, corrections and curious accumulation of wealth make one revise the history that Rangel wants obliterated: He didn't beat Powell.

Bond ran for the United States House of Representatives from Georgia's 5th congressional district in 1986. He lost the Democratic nomination in a runoff to rival civil rights leader John Lewis in a bitter contest,[29] during which Bond was accused of using cocaine and other drugs. [30] During the campaign, Lewis challenged Bond to take a drug test (Lewis had said he took one and passed). Bond refused, saying the drug test was akin to McCarthyism and trivializes the issue of drugs.
True Detective season two episode eight watchthrough: Omega Station Ani and Ray in the motel After sleeping together, Ani tells Ray about her abduction and molestation. She remembers trees, the woods again, a cave. Four days she thinks she might've gotten out. She remembers she got in a car, that the man who abducted her didn't force her. The scene unfolds in the present and intercuts with the moments they spent alone the night before as the other slept. "Baby, you made it all mean something, everything before we met.
Bar owner "They're playing themselves before 1 October - you know, before there was a smoking ban," he said, according to the Associated Press. "We call the production, Before the Ban!" Other bars have taken to the scheme with greater gusto, with customers dressing up in costume, the entrance labelled "stage door" and promising productions such as the Tobacco Monologues. Up to 100 bars across the state are relying on the legal loophole to allow smokers to continue lighting up.
It does mean that the new commissioner shouldn't be someone who sees the CFL as just another sports league, though, and it shouldn't be someone who sees it as just a typical business. The CFL needs someone who thoroughly gets the CFL, and someone who has a plan to build on its successes while addressing its issues. That may matter much more than the candidate's background.
When it was first used in a 1948 magazine article, the term Engmalchin appeared simply descriptive, with a young woman from Penang describing the way English, Malay, and Hokkien Chinese were mixed together in conversations in her family. Yet later editorials claimed that Engmalchin was a new synthetic literary language which would give birth to the nation, much as the University of Malaya itself was a performative speech act, founded eight years before Malaya’s independence in 1957.
Of the doctors, there were many, including Mengele and Hubertus Strughold, the “father of American space medicine,” whose early research in the concentration camps included, among many other things, testing the limits of human endurance by putting prisoners in ice water, or pressure chambers and gathering data as they slowly died. Many mind control survivors report Mengele as traveling in the U.S. and training American doctors in mind control methods.
One of the goals of the Pterosaur Rookery will be to breed as many of the creatures as possible so that franchise museums -- for which we will have licensing programs -- can also put them on display, allowing people all over the country and the world to be able to experience evidences of the Lord's creation up close and in person.
From the Japanese souvenir jacket to the ubiquitous MA-1 bomber, some of streetwear’s most loved outerwear silhouettes draw inspiration from historical clothing styles. This season has seen an influx of pieces borrowing from an even more storied traditional garment: the kimono. The formal robe first appeared in Japan as early as the 5th century AD, and was—in its original form—influenced by Han Chinese clothing. It wasn’t until the Edo period (1603–1867 AD) that the sleeves became longer in length and the obi (belt) became wider; since this incarnation, the basic shape of both men’s and women’s kimonos has stayed virtually the same.
Louisiana passed Act Number 355 in 2012 prohibiting the distribution of products containing Mitragyna speciosa to minors. The penalty for violating this legislation in Louisiana is a maximum five hundred dollar fine and not more than six months imprisonment. In mid-September 2015, a West Baton Rouge Parrish, Louisiana Sheriff’s Deputy performed a car stop for a traffic violation on a vehicle travelling eastbound on Interstate 10. A probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted and eighteen pounds of powdered Kratom and several hundred canisters of butane were found in the passenger compartment.
The relative stability of this race can be seen within most voting blocs as well. Whites have consistently favored Romney over Obama, while minority support for Obama has held relatively steady. As has been the case all year, women favor Obama by a wide margin; currently 56% of women support Obama, while 37% back Romney. Men are more evenly divided (46% Obama, 47% Romney). Obama’s support among voters under 30 remains strong (58% vs. 34% for Romney in the current survey), while voters 65 and older are divided (49% Romney vs. 45% Obama).
Indeed, one is compelled to examine whether there exists, within the trade unions, an objective conflict between the interests of the mass membership and those of the governing bureaucracy, and the extent to which the policies of the unions reflect, not the interests of the former, but the latter.
Au spends an average 10 to 14 hours a week ensuring the Blues Jays and other Toronto-focused Wikipedia entries are up to date and error-free. He’s made 492 edits to the Blue Jays page since he started in 2007, putting him squarely in the number one spot for most edits, and far beyond the second-placed editor, who has made 230 edits. To call Wikipedia editing a passion would be an understatement for Au. One of his happiest memories is meeting Simon Pulsifer, another renowned Toronto-based Wikipedia editor.
Since the IAF already has maintenance and upgrade facilities for the MiG-29, this would mean that the fighter could be brought into service with a minimum of expenditure on infrastructure. [54] A major advantage of MiG-35 is that Russia is committed to transfer the plane's technology, including the new advanced Zhuk Active Electronically Scanned Array radar, to India. [55] In the past, Russia has provided customised versions of military equipment such as the Su-30MKI and continued to provide support for equipment during international sanctions. However, Russian product support, especially for the MiG-29 fleet has been inadequate. [56]
And even if he had won the race and become a senator, facing election only every six years rather than every two in the House, he would still have had to keep raising money. Both parties expect their senior representatives, especially those on powerful committees who tend to attract bigger donations, to raise even more money on behalf of their less fortunate colleagues. It would not be that hard to write laws to dampen the need for so much cash and DeFazio has already backed several proposals. Donation or spending limits could be reintroduced or elections could be publicly funded.
In 2010, I purchased additional shares that gave me a $2,000 stake in the company and held the shares for one year, which qualified me to introduce a shareholder resolution. I did so for the first time in November 2011. My resolution would require CCA to issue biannual reports concerning its efforts to reduce prisoner rape and sexual abuse at its facilities, as well as data for all such incidents during each reporting period. The resolution is currently pending and will be considered at CCA’s annual meeting on May 10 in Nashville, Tennessee, where I reside.
The problem about postulating a god who transcends time is that, though it may bring him into the "here and now," many of the qualities which most people attribute to god only make sense within the context of time. Surely god can plan, answer prayers, express pleasure or anxiety about the course of human progress, and sit in judgement afterwards? Is he not continually active in the world, doing work "oiling the cogs of the cosmic machine" and so on? All of these activities are meaningless except in a temporal context. How can god plan and act except in time?
But although Gerwig brings an awkward, needy charm to her portrayal of Dawn, there’s not much, apart from the unflattering glasses, that links her to the younger version of the character.
About the demos... you don't wanna see them, it's embarassing. Overall comment, to make our jam host hate me even more: Tarbaby is a lame fucked up monster. Sorry. It's nice for the panic it induces in a player, but the outcome of a spawn encounter is just too random, and hitting them at the right time/at all is too based on luck, for me to see them as useful for anything other than the occasional comedy monster. Not without tweaking them. ^ Exactly ^ Exactly Thanks for the kind words adib.
The company’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), called the “Lancaster,” weighs three pounds, measures three feet long and is designed so farms don’t need an expert on staff. The plane itself is easy to launch — it’s thrown into the air by hand and can be used with a number of different “plug and play” imaging sensors, including thermal (infrared) and hyperspectral, to collect field data that’s both visible and not visible to the human eye. With different sensors and algorithms, growers can hone in on specific problems or information, such as soil moisture or crop disease.
[58] While it was true that Lusitania had been fitted with gun mounts as part of government loan requirements during her construction, to enable rapid conversion into an Armed Merchant Cruiser (AMC) in the event of war, the guns themselves were never fitted. However, she was still listed officially as an AMC. [6] Her cargo had included an estimated 4,200,000 rifle cartridges, 1,250 empty shell cases, and 18 cases of non-explosive fuses,[59] all of which were listed in her manifest, but the cartridges were not officially classed as ammunition by the Cunard Line.
“Everyone can always say, ‘Oh, yeah, the Pentagon is always going to be a target, the NSA is always going to be a target,’” says Michael Daniel, the cybersecurity coordinator at the White House, who was apprised of the crisis early on. “But now you had the Office of Personnel Management as a target?”

Other instances of leaders riding donkeys are Judges 5:10; 10:4; 12:14; and 2 Samuel 16:2.The mention of a donkey in Zechariah 9:9-10 fits the description of a king who would be “righteous and having salvation, gentle.” Rather than riding to conquer, this king would enter in peace.Zechariah 9:10 highlights this peace: “I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the war-horses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations.
...we would love to claim we conducted this trial with noble purpose, but the truth is that we just wanted to make peanut butter and jellyfish simply to see if it could be done. Whether or not it should be done is a question no doubt to be debated by philosophers for the ages (or at least by some aquarists over beers). We herein report on what we believe to be the first known unholy amalgamation of America's favorite lunchtime treat and live cnidarians.
Fandango also polled millennials about their moviegoing decision process and found that 47% decide to watch a movie because of a strong storyline, 23% pick what movie to see based on its trailer, 9% weigh reviews or critic scoring rating sites such as Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, 5% look to user reviews, and 5% identify the stars as the main reason to buy a ticket. The percentages point to dwindling star power among Hollywood actors — gone, it seems, where a name above the title could guarantee a movie opening.
After spending time using one, Gizmodo describes the maps software as "sluggish" and "choppy," but that's not to say the kiosks don't do what they're expected to -- which is to be a helpful tool for commuters. For example, you can easily find how to get from point A to point B, as well as see when the next subway train is due to arrive at the station, among other things. And hey, even though this won't be for everyone, we have no doubt it'll come in handy for quite a few people.
Following his commissioning as an Air Force Second Lieutenant in 1947, he subsequently completed pilot training in October 1948 and then served in a variety of operational and administrative positions from 1948 to 1953. In the course of his military career, Scowcroft held positions in the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Headquarters of the United States Air Force, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. Other assignments included faculty positions at the United States Air Force Academy and the United States Military Academy, and Assistant Air Attaché in the American Embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
The slightly smaller share of end value relative to dock value is likely the result of retail competition from handline-caught tuna of the same species.
The U.S. inspector general for Iraq reconstruction’s final report claimed that the $60 billion spent had had only ”limited positive effects,” and much of it had simply been wasted due to corruption.
At cycling events, it is the responsibility of the team or race doctor, if any, to determine whether an injured rider may continue in or return to the competition. This decision may not be delegated to other professionals or personnel. At all times, the priority must be to safeguard the health and safety of rider. The potential outcome of the competition must never influence such decisions. If the team doctor and the race doctor have a different opinion on whether the rider may continue or return to the competition the rider shall not continue or return to the competition.
If 2010 headship rates and homeownership rates for each age group had been the same as in 1990, the US homeownership rate would have been 66.7% instead of 65.1%. If 2010 headship rates and homeownership rates had been the same as in 2000, the US homeownership rate would have been 67.3%! In fact, the aggregate data suggest that in 2010 the homeownership for most age groups was probably below 1990 rates!!! Last week's report, then, was clearly the BIGGEST STORY ON US HOMEOWNERSHIP in many, many years. So ... why the lack of media coverage?
Pinterest lets its audience collate and curate interests and purchases. Niche platforms like Goodreads and Letterboxd let fans indulge themselves alongside likeminded people. So where did the the Miiverse go wrong? It set out to create empathy among gamers, funneling them through a space designed to make them express themselves proactively. What it ended up doing was handing Nintendo’s storied iconography over to an audience that, quite simply, should not have been trusted.
"Leaders of all the parties need to be a great deal more emphatic in their condemnation of what's happening in Gaza," she told the Guardian. "Public opinion in all quarters, including Margot James who has always supported Israel, is horrified about what is happening. There is increasingly a consensus among ordinary people that they want to see the British political leadership speak out more emphatically. Part of it is people trying to keep in step with America, but things have gone so far, British leadership have to be prepared now to question America's support for what Israel is doing."
We want to avoid the common mistakes that can bog down a project of this nature, and that starts with having a clear vision, detailed design, mature technology, efficient internal processes, and an experienced team. Most of us have experience working on open world games (), so we’re already quite familiar with the typical challenges, roadblocks, and potential pitfalls that come with their development. We want to avoid the common mistakes that can bog down a project of this nature, and that starts with having a clear vision, detailed design, mature technology, efficient internal processes, and an experienced team.
Because limited studies (14, 16, 17, 23, 25, 30, 36, 39, 46) reported results of the average duration of breastfeeding per child, summary estimates were calculated for ever breastfeeding and the total duration of breastfeeding. Subgroup analyses were carried out based on the study design (cohort compared with case-control studies), type of controls within case-control studies (population-based compared with hospital-based controls), exposure assessment (self-administered questionnaire compared with trained interviewers), geographic location (Europe, America, and Asia), cancer grading (invasive compared with borderline), and cancer histotype (serous, mucinous, endometrioid, and clear cell).
Binary maps (predicted presence or absence) were created from the Maxent generated DMs using the lowest presence threshold value (LPT; see Pearson et al., 2006; Stockman and Bond, 2007). The LPT is determined by selecting the lowest predicted value for the set of presence points used to generate the DM. We then assessed degree and significance of overlap between DMs of closely related lineages using the procedure outlined in Stockman and Bond (2007) that employs a Monte Carlo algorithm, implemented in the computer program D-NOVL v1.3 (Stockman et al., 2007), to generate the probability distribution of overlap amounts expected for observed DMs.
After all, what's a little discrimination in the grand scheme of things?
You want to see the house, just once, and you want to take the same sad path. Maybe that will give you answers, you tell yourself. But it only raises more questions: If his parents are in the yard, you wonder, what will you do? Will you wave? Then you wish things that can’t come true: They’ve already said they can’t talk about it, but what if they see you and raise a hand and invite you in? What if they just tell you why this happened? Wouldn’t that be easy?
That’s better, we’ve almost doubled the speed. After running this attempt through our benchmark it made no difference to the overall time. Ok, slightly more extreme variation, let’s store a lowercased version of the labels internally in Name on demand. I’ve added an extra field to Name with all the labels lowercased, and to simplify the object changed the labels from Vec<Arc<String>> to just Vec<String> . This is a little ugly, something I can go back and cleanup:
This became most evident following the recent passing of Nelson Mandela and Paul Walker when the internet exploded with fatwas from ‘experts’ telling Muslims that it was ”haram, (forbidden) to say ‘RIP Nelson Mandela” because Mandela had heard of Islam, yet remained a non Muslim and thus would be eternally damned, no ifs or buts.
In Kanye West’s case, it is my impression that there is an interaction between his Si function and his Narcissistic personality style, where the Narcissism provides the brazenness for dragging the rest of the world into the narrowly focused and heavily personalized perceptions of Si. It also appears that, intrapsychically, there is an interaction between the two where past impressions and factual accomplishments continually reinforce the grandiose self-image that West cannot help but portray.
In from Chelsea and Blackburn respectively, the midfielders Christian Atsu and Joshua King ought to add zip to an already quick team who will regularly find themselves attacking on the break, while Sylvain Distin will bring a wealth of potentially creaky Premier League experience to Bournemouth’s back four. There, he will be joined by the giant full-back Tyrone Mings, in from Ipswich Town, a wise head on young shoulders who is understood to have chosen Bournemouth over West Brom, Aston Villa and Newcastle on the back of a recruitment pitch from his new manager.

What I had taken up as a teenaged alternative to serving popcorn had become a vast and specialized industry.
This week marks the 40th anniversary of Title IX, legislation intended to prevent gender discrimination at educational institutions, namely in athletics. So it's no surprise that feminist groups on the left and the White House -- through its Educate to Innovate campaign -- are using this anniversary to advance their next "gender" battle, aimed at increasing the number of women represented in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.
