At the Hasakah conference, which also included other invitees, a new political umbrella body was created to operate as the political wing of the SDF. Haitham Mannaa, a secular leftist Arab, and Ilham Ahmed, a Kurdish politician from a PKK-friendly group, were elected co-presidents of the group. Confusingly, it has used many different English names and acronyms, including the Democratic Syrian Assembly (DSA), but now seems to be settling on the Council of Democratic Syria, or CDS for short.

Once the chip is designed, we need to fabricate it, in a factory about the size of the Elgin industrial estate in Swindon. The immersion lithography machinery alone is unlikely to get much change from a billion dollars or so, and depends on there already being stable power infrastructure and a supply of exotic materials such as isotopically-pure silicon - which in turn requires another factory about the size of the Elgin industrial estate to purify it to the required level.

“Here’s what I would tell the president: If you can’t get a better deal and if you can’t protect that 62-year-old worker in Greenville from having dramatic premium increases because Democrats won’t work with you and you can’t get the Republican Party on board, stop, take a time-out, let it collapse,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Then turn to the Democrats and say, ‘This was the system you created. It has collapsed, now help me replace it.’ That’s what I would do.”

2. "Brother Yun steals money raised at his meetings around the world." This accusation is quite ridiculous as Yun does not handle a cent of any money raised anywhere! Yun decided years ago that he wanted to do speaking tours which were hosted and arranged by existing ministries that were already involved in China and who have a good reputation. This is what they have been doing. This means that the host organization takes the offerings. Yun is glad, knowing that the money is going to end up being used to bless believers in China.

Through agent-based simulation combined with game-theoretic strategy selection, we search for vulnerabilities in financial markets, and characterize the conditions that enable or prevent their exploitation. A new approach to modeling complex networks of financial obligations is applied to the study of contagion between asset-pricing anomalies and panics in the broader financial system. Results from this study will be employed to design market rules, monitoring technologies, and regulation techniques that promote stability in a world of algorithmic traders.

Yet Doug Ollivant, former director for Iraq at the National Security Council during both the Bush and Obama administrations (and a retired Army officer) says it’s possible this is a first step toward improving the situation on the ground in Iraq. “The Iraqi army has a target; now they know where al-Qaida lives. For so long, they have not been able to find them, and now “¦ that they’re out in the open, the army can mass thousands of people on them. It may be ugly, but they’re there.”

In this Tuesday, April 4, 2017, photo, Blake Hurst, a corn and soybean farmer and president of the Missouri Farm Bureau, walks to the tractor shed on his farm in Westboro, Mo. U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to redo the North American Free Trade Agreement, but NAFTA has widened access to Mexican and Canadian markets, boosting U.S. farm exports and benefiting many farmers. Hurst says NAFTA has been good for his business and worries that he'll lose out in a renegotiation. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)

From the early 80s, you could find this kind of tool on sale in the West as well as in Japan and it’s no surprise that some video game companies such as Tehkan (rechristened Tecmo in 1986) and Dempa (which used one to develop the X1 version of Xevious in 1984) adopted this device at a time when, as with the scanner, its usefulness was still questionable.

A native of tiny Saint-Narcisse [de Beaurivage], Quebec about a two-hour drive north of Montreal near the Saint Lawrence River, Gourde joined me and Brian Engblom for our post game show The Last Call on New Year's Eve 2016. It was following his second game of the season, and at the time his fourth NHL game of his career after a two-game cup of coffee the season before. Being from Quebec and listed at 5'9" 172 pounds, there's no surprise when it comes to his favorite team growing up and his favorite player.

We wandered about looking for the things we would need for our life in the new house—a bank, a salon, a drugstore. The neighborhood could hardly be called lively, but it had all the basics. From time to time, we’d pass an old person, out for a quiet stroll. Early one afternoon, after making our way through a maze of narrow streets, we climbed a slope and found ourselves on a sunny embankment that ran along the shore. Beyond the bank, a thin line of sea blended with the blue sky. Freighters dotted the horizon.

The moment any party is in a position to form the government and comes forward to stake claim, President’s rule can be revoked and the new government installed," explained a home ministry official.Home ministry sources insisted that the Centre was not time-bound to take a call on President’s rule by December 17, when the term of the incumbent assembly is due to expire, as the new assembly had been constituted and notified on December 10 itself. Constitutional expert Subhash C Kashyap agreed, saying that the process of constitution of assembly was separate from government formation.

But, the influence of Wall Street will continue unabated, just as we will have continued military misadventures abroad, an expansion of the bi-partisan surveillance state, a continuation of the failed policy called the Drug War, continuing and growing deficits, and a continuation of the standard of living for most American even though nearly all of us agree that these are not the things we want.

In 1989, when the CBC refused to sell him airtime for a thirty-second “mind bomb” aimed at the forestry industry, Lasn realized that his politics would never have a place within the mass media. With Bill Schmalz, an outdoorsman who had worked with him as a cameraman, Lasn founded Adbusters.

Across five of the major EU markets - France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Great Britain - Windows Phone's share of the smartphone operating system market is around 4.7 percent, Kantar said, thanks in no small measure to Nokia's efforts. In Italy, Windows Phone has a sizable 11.8 percent share of all smartphone sales, according to Kantar, while it achieved 5.1 percent in the UK, 4.7 percent in France, three percent in Spain and a rather lowly 1.8 percent in Germany.

Last year, Peggy Noonan, the American conservative commentator and former presidential speechwriter, complained that President Barack Obama lacked some of the presence that a good head of state requires. She imagines "a good president as sitting at the big desk and reaching out with his long arms and holding on to the left, and holding on to the right, and trying mightily to hold it together, letting neither spin out of control, holding on for dear life. I wish we were seeing that. I don’t think we are."

In New Super Mario Bros. U, Yoshis appear in a green color only, and they behave exactly like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Baby Yoshis also appear on the world map and certain levels and have 3 different colors with different abilities. Bubble Baby Yoshis are blue and spit out bubbles that trap enemies when the remote is shaken. Balloon Baby Yoshi is a magenta color that inflates like a balloon when the remote is shaken. Glowing Baby Yoshis appear as golden in color, and can illuminate the dark and stun enemies when the remote is shaken.

On the other hand, it would be necessary for Arabism to recognize that it can never be what it claims to be unless it sheds its archaic content and accepts the right of different Arabs to be what they want to be, starting with the Maronites as the supreme test case. As many politically responsible Arabs are beginning to realise, the Maronites are too precious a part of the heritage of Arabism to be inadvertently lost.

The reasons for the violence are complex, tying back to El Salvador's bloody civil war, when many Salvadorans fled north to Los Angeles. Salvadoran gangs emerged there, initially to protect Salvadoran neighborhoods. When large numbers of Salvadorans were deported from the US in the 1990s, the gangs took root in El Salvador. Now most poor neighborhoods are controlled by one gang or the other. Many young men encounter pressure to join the gangs, and fear running afoul of them. Young women are also vulnerable to the predations of the gangs in many ways.

While on MDMA, I was able to recall most of the night. My visual memory was sporadic; I didn’t always have an image to match the words coming out of my mouth because I believe the shock blocked it out. My mouth was confidently telling a story I had never heard before. I remembered conversations, specific faces, and even feelings that occurred for me throughout the night. I’ve read MDMA allows memories to resurface since it affects the amygdala.

Do you know the tale of the forging of Lightbringer? I shall tell it to you. It was a time when darkness lay heavy on the world. To oppose it, the hero must have a hero’s blade, oh, like none that had ever been. And so for thirty days and thirty nights Azor Ahai laboured sleepless in the temple, forging a blade in the sacred fires. Heat and hammer and fold, heat and hammer and fold, oh, yes, until the sword was done. Yet when he plunged it into water to temper the steel it burst asunder.

A black president and a Jesuit pope. Growing up, I was told I would never see these things come to pass. By 2013, after the election of a president named Barack and the pope we know as Francis, I was certain a woman president was next. I thought Hillary Clinton would win, not because America was “ready” to make history, but because her opponent was so risky, so inept, so morally bankrupt that I expected the nation would suppress its sexism momentarily.

Rebuilt 40k miles ago, the 330 cubic inch Jetfire Rocket V8 runs well and stays cool. According to the seller, it’s a high-compression unit factory equipped with dual exhaust and 4bbl carburetor, the latter replaced with a remanufactured stock unit. While said to show ~150 PSI across all cylinders, the seller notes an oil leak, possibly due to freshly painted valve covers and intake manifold. The shortlist of new parts includes a radiator, brake booster and master cylinder, top end gaskets, Pertronix electronic ignition and fuel pump.

What else can we do here? In this particular game we could add functions in the code to add more trajectory lines (i.e. calculating band bouncing). Or grab admin privileges and use the AS3 and SmartFoxServer's API to kick users at will, get all points, automate an always-win bot, flood the chat, figure out a payload to send to a real admin and escalate privileges... basically cause any mayhem we want with virtually no detection. We could create all sorts of problems.

The gray skeletons of apartment blocks and office towers rise up from a freshly laid grid of highways as wide as eight lanes. Blocky gray factories and blue corrugated-steel warehouses fit neatly within the rectangular plots. Hundreds of thousands of people work in the various factory compounds here, but the streets are still in the process of coming to life. One of the Zone’s key selling points is its well-developed logistical infrastructure. The ZAEZ is positioned at the economic heart of China, just a couple of hours by air from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

This job was particularly challenging because the clay sediment Brookfield sent to the Jackson School was loose in plastic bags and unlike the solid rock that Catlos is used to studying.

Speaking Sunday morning to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Glenn Hubbard, influential economic adviser to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, appeared to agree. What we need to do, Hubbard said, is put the federal budget on a glide path to sustainability over the next four years. At the same time, he said, there has been too much focus on immediate reduction of the current year’s budget deficit. Other elements of fiscal reform have to be implemented in a balanced manner.

Saving one gallon of gasoline per 100 miles saves 20 pounds of carbon dioxide,[78] which is approximately one ton of carbon dioxide every 10,000 miles of driving. An improvement from 14 mpg to 25 mpg saves 3 gallons of gas per 100 miles, or 3 tons of carbon dioxide in 10,000 miles of driving. The replacement of older vehicles also reduces other non-greenhouse pollutants. "Gas consumption" calculators that translate "miles per gallon" to a measure of "gallons per mile" can help car buyers see the gas savings from their trade ins. [79]

~ Pricking out just means moving the seedlings from the pot with all the others and giving them more space, usually in a small pot of their own, or into a seed tray or a tray of cells. If they're large seedlings, this is easy. Just fill the new container with compost and firm it gently, then make a hole for each seedling. A pencil is often used, or your finger. Then lift the seedling carefully by its leaves, and drop it into the hole. Carefully fill the hole with compost, and press it round the seedling gently.

"It was dipping with pace, it must be one of the goals of the season,” Redfearn said of Rodolph Austin’s unstoppable strike against Watford at the end of February. The midfielder’s third goal of the season, and his tenth for the club, was perhaps his finest in United colours, despite the eventual outcome. Austin latched onto Sam Byram’s knock-down in an unassuming position on the corner of the box, took one touch to tee himself up before looping a stunning half-volley over Heurelho Gomes’ head during a dream start at Elland Road.

The Zen master Ling Chi said that the miracle is not to walk on burning charcoal or in the thin air or on the water; the miracle is just to walk on earth. You breathe in. You become aware of the fact that you are alive. You are still alive and you are walking on this beautiful planet. That is already performing a miracle. The greatest of all miracles is to be alive. We have to awaken ourselves to the truth that we are here, alive. We are here making steps on this beautiful planet. This is already performing a miracle.

That’s a fairly typical attack on the Christian attitude to science, and the Church’s record. Well, I’m not in the business of defending the Roman Catholic Church’s dealings with Galileo. Apart from anything else, I’ve read very little 17th-century RC theology. But this writer doesn’t just attack the Roman Catholic Church. He also talks about ‘every Protestant church before 1800’ and their bitter opposition to Galileo. Well, I have read quite a few Protestant writers from that era. Take Richard Baxter, next to Bunyan the greatest and most popular of English Puritan writers.

Even if you don’t like the “M-word”, the practice gives you the skill of focusing your attention where you want it focused. When you are surrounded by constant distractions, as we all are these days, that’s a gift; attention is our most precious commodity, yet it is the very thing we give away most freely. I think of mindfulness as getting on a bucking bronco and bringing it to tranquility by pulling in the reins gently.

Years later, Christopher Isherwood (whose short story about his years in Berlin was the basis for “Cabaret”) would make a similar observation about the first Berlin bar that he visited with his friend W. H. Auden in 1928—a place he called the “Cosy Corner” in his autobiography, but which in fact was Noster’s Cottage (Noster’s Restaurant zur Hütte). First established in 1909, Noster’s Cottage was a pub near the working-class district of Hallesches Tor, one that was normally avoided by tourists.

Although they're unable to provide specific revenue figures due to a contract with Tencent, the Nexon representative wrote, "If you were to take the figure stated in the Superdata report as net revenue and apply the industry standard 30% revenue share to the developer (as stated on page 25 of Deutsche Bank analyst Hanjoon Kim’s July 1, 2013 report), that would make the gross revenue for Dungeon&Fighter $1.4bn, exceeding Crossfire by over $450 million. While these are not our internal figures, I believe that this gives a good indication of the size of Dungeon&Fighter."

Voiceover: Let's think a little bit about the labor market. In all of these videos, whether we're talking about renting units or hiring people, these are huge oversimplifications, but we're doing it in this way so we can apply some of these basic ideas that we're being exposed to in this survey of microeconomics, so that we can apply those basic ideas to real world things. It's important to realize we're making huge oversimplifications and often times the real context can be more complicated or a little bit nuanced, but it gives us a way of thinking about things.

Wanting nothing more than to affirm us during these difficult times and to keep us focused on our true enemies (white supremacy and structural racism), I am working to take a cue from my religious brothers and sisters, and to forgive our people for being so forgiving. I will never forgive Dylann Roof and the country that made him. But I will release my anger at how other black folks find a way to keep themselves sane in the face of madness, and I will provide the unforgiving rage towards our enemies that others simply can’t.

So the “view,” in this case, is the idea or belief that we have, that is, that the car is a good one. Then the “meditation” is contemplating and getting used to the idea, and the “action” is actually buying the car, driving it and using it. This process is not necessarily something Buddhist; it’s something we’re doing all the time. You don’t have to call it view, meditation and action. You can think of it as “idea,” “getting used to,” and “obtaining.”

And while they are unhinged at times, what seems like madness is really an insane deference to logic: a logic that will pursue the necessary consequences of first premises far beyond the boundaries of bourgeois comfort, into the truth that lies beneath and must be left to lie there unlooked-at if life will be lived, if family, colleagues, social circles are to be engaged — basically, if anything is to be done.

Controls in this sort of testing are very important, because the test results could easily be skewed by any biases of that kind.These differences are what’s called “cognitive differences”, meaning measurement of cognition, based on a statistical approach. Political science generally ascribes political differences to life environments, but not actual perceptions of the world.This is a quite unusual study, and previous studies of political viewpoints, not surprisingly, have been based on far more mundane things, not something as fundamental perceptions. Exactly where this study leads is also likely to be interesting.

Despite Zizek's formal criticisms of post-modernism, an article in the inaugural issue of the International Journal of Zizek Studies describes him in the following terms: "Slavoj Zizek represents the new post-modernist left in all the energy and conceptual audacity of its effort to formulate strikingly new concepts and boldly go where we could not as long as our thought was hedged in by the need to preserve the guarantees. Zizek is (arguably) the most important theorist on the left today." [56] The Slovenian philosopher sits on the editorial board of the journal named after him.

No soldiers received any punishment for the killing of five Iraqi children, four women and two men in one Ishaqi home in 2006. Among the U.S. diplomatic cables leaked by Bradley Manning was email from a UN official stating that U.S. soldiers had "executed all of them." When Wikileaks published the cable, the uproar in Iraq was so big that the Nouri al-Maliki government couldn't grant any remaining U.S. troops immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts, thus forcing the Obama administration to abandon its plans to keep several thousand U.S. soldiers in Iraq permanently.

From the what I've played of Infinity, I really hope that the full game ends up being completed because it's easy to see how great it would've been for its time. Unlike the few RPGs that were released on the Game Boy Color, Infinity’s characters are surprisingly fleshed out, and its tone is pretty mature—what with the lead character losing his wife in the intro and all. The overarching story seems fittingly cliche for the era, but the writing is actually pretty good.

Get ready for a lot of Scientology jargon ahead. A Knowledge Report is basically an official snitching document.

OK, Trumpsters, I need to know what you're thinking here -- Donald Trump said that he had to say it, that 9/11 happened while George W. Bush was president. He wished it didn't but it did and the implication was clear that 9/11, if you're going to start blaming politicians for things that happened when they're in office, then how do you not blame George W. Bush for 9/11? And then Democrats immediately picked that up and applauded Mr. Trump and said, exactly right.

“I explained to them that there was no problem—and they agreed with me.” The senior American official, frustrated at the years of inaction, told me that the Americans were not persuaded by Naemi: “He is not going to tell us the sky is falling. We shared the data that showed the risks of the dam, and it’s terrifying.” The potential disaster has presented American officials with a public-relations quandary: the people they are trying to help won’t publicly concede that there’s a problem. In response, U.S. officials have gone silent.

Mr. Romney’s frank remarks, which undercut even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public endorsement of “a solution of two states for two peoples: a Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state,” seemed to break from decades of official American foreign policy. Since before the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993, Republican and Democratic presidents have thrown their weight behind the effort to secure Israel’s future as a democratic state with a Jewish majority by creating a second state for up 2.5 million Palestinians who have lived under Israeli military rule for more than four decades.

Since 2003, famous people had been campaigning for his release, chief among them the renowned elephant behaviorist Joyce Poole, who is considered the Jane Goodall of pachyderms. In an open letter she stated that elephants don’t rock back and forth in the wild, that it was a coping mechanism for Billy’s “loneliness, boredom and frustration.” Halle Berry, Cher, and Bill Maher led their own crusades; Lily Tomlin called the zoo “elephant-speak for Guantanamo”; and people were picketing and posting videos on YouTube.

The infidels decided that the construction of a mosque in the locality was not proper and that it should be razed to the ground. At night the walls of the mosque were found demolished. Next day the wall was rebuilt but it was again destroyed. This happened three or four times. At last the Sayyid hid himself in a corner. With the advent of night the infidels came to achieve their nefarious purpose. When Abdul Rasûl gave the alarm, the infidels began to fight and the Sayyid was wounded by Rajputs.

He did participate in non-contact drills during the spring, as well as the Utes' film-room tutorials with the new coordinator; Wilson still needs to gain a rhythm with the first-team offense in August, a task that takes on added importance given his road back from last fall's injury.

It highlighted that India comprised myriad streams of culture, “about 16 major languages, 2000 dialects, a dozen ethnic groups, seven religious communities fragmented into subsects and sub-castes that inhibit 68 socio-cultural sub-regions, and therefore, India exhibits a distinct eternal homogeneity and external identity.”Welcoming the verdict against Sanskriti, advocate Ashok Agarwal, who was one of the parties in the case, said, “There must be equal and inclusive education in public funded schools in the country, which is not the case currently.”

The shooting script called for a shot depicting the inside of “a most unholy makeshift asylum”; its tenants included the moping spirits of famous dead people. It too was ultimately cut.

In The Post-Colonial Studies Reader, the same authors–Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, and Helen Tiffin–proceed to revise the old “civilizing mission” of the West by mandating the desideratum of concentrating on lineages. Consequently, the study of settler colony cultures becomes paradigmatic: “Settler colonies, precisely because their filiative metaphors of connection problematise the idea of resistance as a simple binarism, articulate the ambivalent, complex and processual nature of all imperial relations” (1995: 3-4). 1 Following the poststructuralist tenets of Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard, the discursive

There have been other quirks in this process. Charles Evans Hughes reportedly waited a couple weeks before he sent his concession to Woodrow Wilson. It took two weeks for James Blaine to concede to Grover Cleveland because Blaine waited for the official full count of the votes before accepting his loss. Nixon decided to wait until the next morning to concede to Kennedy, even though most people had called the election.

While the optical difference is less pronounced by f/11, the new Tamron 15-30 VC is still the winner, with better resolution, contrast, and color accuracy. The Rokinon is rendering everything extremely warm, but the sample photo earlier from the iPhone 6 and the images from the two Tamrons reveal that the Rokinon’s color rendition is the oddity here. The decentering issue on the 24-70 VC is still evident even at f/11. One area where the Rokinon wins (though in an odd way), is via light transmission, where it is clearly brighter at the same settings than either of the two Tamrons.

In another interview, just before Christmas, when the whole country was grinding to a halt in ice and snow, Prof Slingo claimed that this was merely a local event, “very much confined to the UK and Western Europe”. Do these Met Office experts ever look beyond those computer models which tell them that 2010 was the second hottest year in history? Only a few days after she made this remark, the east coast of the USA suffered one of the worst snowstorms ever recorded. There have been similar freezing disasters in south China, Japan, central Russia and right round the northern hemisphere.

The very name Sumer had been erased from the mind and memory of man for more than two thousand years. Yet today the Sumerians are one of the best-known peoples of the ancient Near East. We know what they looked like from their own statues and steles scattered throughout several of the more important museums…Moreover, Sumerian clay tablets by the tens of thousands (literally), inscribed with their business, legal, and administrative documents, crown the collections of these same museums, giving us much information about the social structure and administrative organization of the ancient Sumerians. (History Begins at Sumer, xx)

Non-aligned since the early 19th century, Sweden’s ” splendid isolation ” has endured two world wars and even the five-decade superpower slugfest that dominated the late 20th century. That could change, however, in the wake of Russia’s intervention in Ukraine. Last week, Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg indicated that the defense budget, to which he had recently announced cuts, would be increased as a result of the crisis.

“What do you have for me today?”, its stomach rumbles. My tongue rushes over to whisper the menu in its hairy ear, for if the adjectives hear about their fate they tend to despair. The daring ones make a run for it. Just the other day, epic and insane escaped and are now hiding out in the roof of my mouth. They come out now and then for a breath of fresh air when awesome falls asleep on the table after a particularly heavy lunch.

Some humanitarians demand a collective state because of their pity for the incompetent or Passive Man. For his sake they wish to harness the Active. But the Active Man cannot function in harness. And once he is destroyed, the destruction of the Passive Man follows automatically. So if pity is the humanitarians' first consideration, then in the name of pity, if nothing else, they should leave the Active Man free to function, in order to help the Passive. There is no other way to help him in the long run.

“I think everybody does,” Brady said. “Everyone works hard, and it’s very unpredictable. You never know what’s going to happen. We as players feel like that, too. We’re prepared. We’re confident. But you’ve still got to go out there and do it. And you’ve got to do it against a team that you’ve studied but not much this year … Yeah, there will definitely be nerves and being anxious. But that’s part of football. And once you get out there and start going, those things calm down.”

Silver has admitted he never wanted Durant to sign with Golden State, but there are benefits. For those who consume basketball as performance art, valuing aesthetics over intrigue, the Warriors are a Hamiltonian hit. For those who prefer high-pressure hoops, played on a tightrope with no net, they can still catch James in the Finals. "I see the pros and cons," Silver says. "I believe we should celebrate excellence and celebrate those teams having assembled championship rosters within the rules of the league, whether it includes a bit of fortuity and very skillful management....

Upon reaching the FOB it was discovered that Captain David Patton, SRR, and Sergeant Paul Bartlett, SBS were missing – one was helping wounded out of a vehicle when he was shot and assumed killed, and the other went missing during the firefight. An RAF Chinook carrying a company from the Parachute Regiment took off to find them, a pair of Apaches spotted the bodies and the Paras recovered them. One SBS member was awarded the MC for his actions in the ambush. [50][48][51][52]

Conscious competence: You are now behaving competently and you are able to execute the desired skill, but it’s probably still a bit difficult for you. You have to think a lot about what you’re doing and about the right way to do it; you have to concentrate intensely on performing the skill competently.

While Schott might feel more strongly about the issue than some of his fellow board members, he knows he isn’t alone. “There are a lot of people who feel the same way as I do on the board but aren’t willing to listen to the griping of people who have convinced themselves that they have to have a car,” he said. That’s how the gripers can set the agenda for the city’s street safety plans, even in an area like Community District 2 where the vast majority of residents don’t own cars.

McKinnon did an excellent job poking fun at Hillary’s performance during the debate. For example, she brought up Clinton’s “human father” who worked with “something to do with drapes” in an attempt to make her more relatable to American voters. Yet, according to Clinton, “America hates my voice and my face.” She also danced the now famous and celebrated “The Hillary Shimmy,” the latest dance craze to populate memes across all social media platforms and online blogs.

5 April finally came, and Luton faced Scunthorpe United at Wembley Stadium in the Football League Trophy final as 40,000 Luton supporters converged on Wembley, dwarfing Scunthorpe's support of 13,000. Brian Mawhinney, Chairman of the Football League, was roundly booed by the Luton support before the game, in protest at the huge point deductions imposed at the start of the season. When the game got going, however, it was Scunthorpe who drew first blood in a pulsating match. Gary Hooper put Scunthorpe ahead early on with a low shot past Dean Brill.

For numbers larger than 2.0 the gap between floats grows larger and if you compare floats using FLT_EPSILON then you are just doing a more-expensive and less-obvious equality check. That is, if two floats greater than 2.0 are not the same then their difference is guaranteed to be greater than FLT_EPSILON. For numbers above 16777216 the appropriate epsilon to use for floats is actually greater than one, and a comparison using FLT_EPSILON just makes you look foolish. We don’t want that.
