One Newton is equal to a little less than a quarter of a pound (like the weight of a quarter-pound burger after it is cooked)." hamburger Kuhn, Karl F. Basic Physics: A Self - Teaching Guide. 2nd ed. New York: Wiley, 1996: 16. "A Newton is about ¼ pound, the weight of a stick of margarine." stick of margarine
Previous developments and considerations Pioneer determinations of REE contents within uranium oxides (Fryer and Taylor, 1987; Pagel et al., 1987; Maas and McCulloch, 1990; Hidaka et al., 1992; Hidaka and Gauthier‐Lafaye, 2001), although highly promising, were limited by: (i) the small number of uranium deposit types considered; (ii) the small number of analyses available for each deposit type; (iii) the sensitivity and accuracy of REE analyses due to technical limitations; (iv) the lack of discrimination between altered and unaltered zones in the studied samples; and (v) the lack of genetic constraints on the studied deposits.
Have you ever wanted to have a stunningly beautiful bike helmet that would shatter into dangerous splinters if you ever actually fell on your head? Well, you’re in luck, because Instructables user Natalina has posted step-by-step procedures for making a helmet that looks like a disco ball. (She emphasizes that it’s meant as a costume piece, since it’s, you know, covered with glass — but you could do it with acrylic mirrors instead for a safer ride.)
Sure. Steve it’s Peter. We expect to spend about $10 billion in CapEx this fiscal year that will be up little under $2 billion year-over-year. We expect to spend a little bit under $1 billion in the retail stores. And the other $9 billion is spent in a variety of areas. We are buying equipment that we will own that we will put in partners’ facilities. Our primary motivation there is for supply, but we get other benefits as well.
This phenomenon is more commonly known as a Bose-Einstein condensate, a state of matter in which subatomic particles are chilled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin or −273.15° C) and coalesce into a single quantum object. That quantum object is so big (compared to the individual atoms) that it’s almost macroscopic—in other words, it’s encroaching on the classical world.
Mr Zuma and Mr Shapiro confronted one another live on radio on Thursday morning. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Mr Zuma said the current libel action was before the courts, but he was only responding in a limited way and was suing Mr Shapiro because: "Even in places where I've been found not guilty, he continues to find me guilty. He can't be right. He's totally out of order," he told South Africa's Talk Radio 702. But Mr Shapiro called up the station to defend himself and said Mr Zuma was paying "lip-service to freedom of expression".
Our propensity to break continua into categories on a neurobiological level was shown in a beautiful study in which monkeys looked at pictures of a dog or a cat, while the electrical activity of neurons in their frontal cortexes were recorded. There would be neurons that solely responded to dog, others to cat. Then, the scientists morphed the dog and cat together, producing pictures of an 80 percent dog/20 percent cat, a 60 percent dog/40 percent cat, 40/60 and 20/80. Remarkably, neurons responded categorically.
Hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer, the fourth-biggest donor, gave about one quarter of his $12.6-million tally to a super PAC he created to boost Republicans who favor gay rights. TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts and his wife Marlene Ricketts, the eighth-biggest donors of the cycle, gave all but $1 million of their $6.8 million in disclosed donations to a family super PAC called Ending Spending Action Fund, while the Koch brothers gave $4 million to a super PAC run by their network called Freedom Partners Action Fund.
Guesses as to what percentage of today’s “Holocaust survivors” are fakes are necessarily somewhat arbitrary, but it’s logically provable that since some time or other—I’ve chosen 1970 as a round-numbered year—the number of opportunists exceeded the number of genuine Holocaust veterans, at least insofar as self-proclaimed contenders are concerned, since real veterans of such experiences tend, for a number of good reasons, to be discreet about their qualifications. Latter-day “survivors” will have, at that ineluctable time in the future, to seek out some other scam to employ in their mulcting professions.
Justice Stevens: Well it’s kind of a mixture of things, actually. I accepted a number of invitations to go to local bar groups and such, and to answer questions and things like that. One after another wanted me to compare the three Chiefs that I’d actually worked with on the bench. Then later on I thought to myself: actually, I’d had contact with five, and I thought maybe it would fit together in a book. As you know, I like to write, so I started just working on the darned thing.
TBS piloted Positive Space training in 2013 with the Ontario Public Service Pride Network. There are now over 500 trained Champions who are easily identified by the pins they wear and the placards they put up in their workspaces. They embody “Positive Spaces” in their everyday actions, actively promoting diversity and respect in the workplace and providing support and resources to employees on LGBTQ2+ issues. I am pleased to see that over 20 organizations have put in place programs to support the initiative.
Fresh is one of the first vegan restaurants I ever visited in Toronto, and now there are four locations across the city. They’re completely vegan since 1999, with the exception of being able to add cheese to some items for those who are vegetarian. They are known for their freshly pressed juices and smoothies, and offer a great takeaway option for those working in the city. On the menu, you’ll find bowls, salads, burgers, tacos, wraps, and much more. Be sure to always order yourself some quinoa onion rings because they’re the best.
The former chief economist for the McKinsey consultancy, James Henry, for instance, estimated the total at $US21 trillion ($27 trillion) to $US36 trillion. And that was rich individuals only, not counting corporations. And that was five years ago.
In contrast to CNN, host David Shuster aired McCain's ad on MSNBC Live and noted, "[O]ne of the unfortunate timing things for the McCain campaign is, when you look at the first line, Barack Obama never held a single Senate hearing on Afghanistan, which refers to his work on a subcommittee. That's true. But it's also true that John McCain, the ranking member on Armed Services, he never attended a single hearing on Afghanistan the last two years and there were six of them."
Revisions Estimates for the most recent time periods are subject to revision due to the receipt of late and corrected responses to business surveys and revisions to seasonal adjustment factors which are re-estimated every month. Estimates are subject to longer run revisions, on an annual basis, resulting from reviews of the seasonal adjustment process. Estimates derived from the Labour Force Survey (a survey of households) are usually only revised once a year. Further information is available in the Labour Market Statistics Revisions Policy (36.7 Kb Pdf) .
Beginning of Career Zombie studied for a time at the Parsons School of Design. There he met Sean Yseult and the two quickly became a couple. Together they formed White Zombie, taking their name from a 1932 horror film starring Bela Lugosi. Before launching his music career, Zombie took on a number of offbeat jobs. He served as an art director for a pornographic magazine and a production assistant on the children's television show Pee-Wee's Playhouse starring Paul Reubens. ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching!

BIRMINGHAM, England — Anarchy hit the U.K. before Raw even began, when Team Punk collapsed in on itself with a coup d’état writ small as The Miz aired his grievances to Paul Heyman in the locker room area. “What kind of team leader abandons his team?” The Awesome One seethed in response to what transpired last week on Raw. But even though Heyman attempted to placate the former WWE Champion by commanding he fall in line behind The Voice of the Voiceless, The Miz would not be quelled: “As far as the Survivor Series team is concerned, I quit.”
In 2010, Electronic Arts had an idea about how to fix the problem, or at least lessen the perceived blow. A year prior, the company had been offering bonus content for titles like Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 under the Project Ten Dollar initiative. Buy a game new and you'd get a code that would unlock new outfits, characters, or items. Buy a game used and there'd be no code. But EA wanted to go a step further. The expansion of Project Ten Dollar became the Online Pass.

You may recall a 3D printed wedding dress which took over the news feed at last month’s inaugural TCT Asia in Shanghai. All eyes and cameras were on the bespoke dress from China’s up and coming design firm Xuberance, a 3D printing design company based in Shanghai who specialise in creating custom pieces using 3D printing technology. From what the bride wore, to the bouquet, down to floral venue dressing, the latest project covered everything a bride could dream of for an entirely 3D printed wedding.
They hope to continue their magical run, which feels very similar to their special runs in 2010 and 2012; even years have done San Francisco well. Hopefully, for Giants fans, Ryan Vogelsong will get a few more games to enjoy his “rally enchiladas.”
We are extremely excited to announce that we will be offering two very exciting, very unique in-depth seminars on the afternoon of The Great Shave 2012, Wednesday, October 24th. There are only a small number of seats available on a first-come, first-served basis. Here are the details: Mantic59 presents "How to Take Charge of Your Lather" Spend some quality time with the most-watched shave educator in the world as he delves into the art and science of a wet-shave necessity -- a good lather. Mantic will make lather with different brushes (badger, boar, horse, synthetic) using a variety of creams and soaps.
Depending on what calls to me I bring food, at other times I sprinkle florida water. I offer rosemary and calendula, cowrie shells, gin, and trinkets. Some offerings are temporary and cleared away after a few days, and others they request to keep. Most times however, all they want me to offer is my time, for me to sit and be still by their spirits.
I mean, they throw the costs on the voter. It’s very clear why they do that. Politicians don’t like having high voter turnout. And you can’t have high voter turnout and have the kind of money-driven politics we have in the United States. I mean, if you–you win by losing.
USA Today found that the SEC has begun distributing $40 million to each member school. Ten SEC teams make at least $100 million per year, and with the uptick in distributions this year, Missouri—currently at $91 million—could make it 11 soon. That’s a massive increase in revenue from just a decade ago. For instance, in 2005-06, Alabama athletics reported $67.7 million in total revenue. In 2014-15, that was more than doubled, up to $148.9 million.
"In many respects [the raids in California] are not a surprise considering that these dispensaries and cultivation centers are in violation of federal law, and always have been." said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Along with the advocates at NORML, multiple lawmakers have written letters to President Obama criticizing his alleged shift on policy. The lawmakers have also called for the federal government to allow states to regulate themselves.
Of all the utopian books that appeared towards the nineteenth century (the most famous of which is probably Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward), one of the very few that saw a perfect future as fundamentally libertarian was 1890's News from Nowhere. Written from an anarchic-socialist perspective, Morris imagines a future where the community controls the means of production and existing social structures are a thing of the past, with cities, money, divorce, and courts all now obsolete.
The other man was a physical chemist basically. He said you design equipment to understand the physical process you are interested in, you design equipment to test a hypothesis and need to make a measurement only once. If it doesn’t work, you lost, because you know the equipment is right. If it works, you learn something. He said hypothesis testing and experiments are a vastly more satisfying and fun way of doing science. He was absolutely correct.
A year later, it seems Seven Lions has decided to venture deeper into the trance realm by releasing a track on Armin van Buuren’s Who’s Afraid Of 138?! imprint: Armin’s sub-label geared toward the faster and harder styles of trance. Jumping up to a swift tempo, “Cusp” teases at a full-on psy track, but quickly transforms into a more experimental piece with a tingly breakdown. The heavy bass, reminiscent of “Lucy,” and its sample layers almost make it sound like a tech-trance piece.
Smoking marijuana can relieve muscle tightness, spasticity (contractions) and pain often experienced by those with multiple sclerosis, says research out of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The findings, just published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, included a controlled trial with 30 participants to understand whether inhaled cannabis would help complicated cases where existing pharmaceuticals are ineffective or trigger adverse side effects.
Hence, miners would keep a higher proportion of their minerals in the ground where storage is infinite and almost free to them (for a miner, the best short-term asset is minerals in the ground, so selling them in order to buy short-term financial assets is simply not relevant), rather than sell them and invest the proceeds in long-term assets. Because of their self-restraint on output, hence on supply, they generate as the commodity price rises, which is compounded with the increase in their unrealized revenues.
All of the actors that worked on the film were given packets of information on the 1970s as research, and we each had a questionnaire for our characters to fill out. It was really immersive and a different approach to the craft than I'd ever had before and it felt like a massive growing experience. I always cite that. And another favorite experience of mine was working on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
In this tutorial you will learn how to show the FPS in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. If you don’t have an external screen recording program installed that can show your FPS during the gameplay, there is still another way to show your FPS during your Mirror’s Edge Catalyst gameplay. Like most of the games with the Frostbite engine, you can also enable certain configuration commands in MEC. In this guide we will create a configuration file where we store a command that enables the FPS display. Let’s start…
Lee described what the service has done for the security of its users. Among those he listed were default requests for two-factor authentication (using something you have, such as a phone, in addition to something you know, like a password) if making transactions above $100. The service also included a bitcoin vault for its users, and stores 97% of its own coins in cold storage, said Lee (CoinDesk has covered some of Coinbase’s security before).
In other cases, special interest groups as well as social and religious institutions found much of the content objectionable, even dangerous. Many parents and religious organizations, especially in the United States, became alarmed by pornography being more readily available to minors. In other circumstances the proliferation of information on such topics as child pornography, building bombs, committing acts of terrorism, and other violent activities were alarming to many different groups of people. Such concerns contributed to arguments for censorship and regulation on the WWW.
The educated elite hired artisans to craft these exquisitely detailed religious texts surrounded by all manner of illustrated commentary, known today as marginalia.
Only when you require no approval from outside yourself, can you own yourself. You may need to be single for awhile before you realize that, although the co-owned belongings from your failed relationships might not have been divided equally, the issues that destroyed the relationships likely were. For how can you stand confidently alone, or see the same issues arising in your newest relationship, and not realize which broken pieces belong to you? Owning your issues, and dealing with them, will make you far happier in the long run, than owning anything else in this world.
If China and its neighbours all believe that the US has a credible plan for a conflict, this both deters any eventual Chinese adventurism and reduces the risk that anxious Asians will start their own arms races with Beijing. Or, as TX Hammes, the American military historian, puts it: “We need to make sure no one in the Chinese military is whispering in their leaders’ ears: ‘If you listen to me, we can be in Paris in just two weeks.’”
There are many regulatory changes or modifications that can be made by or through ATF that would have an immediate, positive impact on commerce and industry without significantly hindering ATFs mission or adversely affecting public safety. There are also areas where adjustments to policy or processes could improve ATF operations. Alleviating some of these concerns would continue to support ATF’s relationships across the firearms and sporting industry, and allow ATF to further focus precious personnel and resources on the mission to combat gun violence.
Democrats, including Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton herself, have flatly stated their belief that FBI director James Comey's actions during the course of the campaign were the primary reason for Clinton's stunning election night loss. The timing of this investigation, commenced in the final days of President Obama's control over the Department of Justice, promises to make this investigation the subject of intense partisan wrangling in the days and weeks to come — especially as Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions faces hostile questioning from Democrats on Capitol Hill.
The regulations specify that a patient in a non-hospital-owned ambulance in transit is not considered to have "come to the emergency department" even if the ambulance is in contact with the hospital by telephone or by radio telemetry. Further, the regulations provide that the hospital may deny access to the patient in transit if it is in "diversionary status" -- that is, if it does not have the staff or facilities to accept additional patients.
But we would dishonor those heroes as well to suggest that the work of this nation is somehow complete. The arc of the moral universe may bend towards justice, but it doesn't bend on its own. To secure the gains this country has made requires constant vigilance, not complacency. Whether by challenging those who erect new barriers to the vote, or ensuring that the scales of justice work equally for all, and the criminal justice system is not simply a pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails, it requires vigilance. (Applause.)
GALLOWAY A lot of people talked about you as political. I always think of you as almost an old-school moralist. You know, if you look at Platoon, you have very much the good and the bad. If you look at some of your later films, there are always moral issues and moral dilemmas. We're going to come to Snowden later. Certainly that's a very moral issue. And there's one film of yours, which is very moralistic, but it has a different point of view on the good and bad.
The Wallflowers began recording their second album, Bringing Down the Horse in 1995. Around the time they began recording, however, founding member Tobi Miller left the band. A number of guitarists stepped in to finish the album. [14] Bringing Down the Horse was produced by T Bone Burnett and the songs were written by Dylan. The album was released on May 21, 1996. [15] To promote the release, the band toured extensively through the rest of 1996 and through 1997. The Wallflowers now included drummer, Mario Calire and guitarist Michael Ward, in addition to Dylan, Jaffee and Richling.
No matter how complex a language might be, a child can learn it, and incorporate it to a an “invisible” cognitive level. We often take little note of the complexities and irrationality of our language, because we are so comfortable and have long experience with using it. As has been said, i before e except after c and words like neighbor and weigh, this means that Einstein got this wrong twice. Most people don’t notice that the th sound in they and theater are different, the mind has moved this information to an invisible level.
The Daily Beast's Ben Collins walked through the effort to imply a link between Trump and the group. It includes an automated Reddit bot that replies to comments about Trump's tax returns on the site with a question about donations to NAMBLA and a push to link Trump to NAMBLA on Google. Collins notes that there's another layer of trolling involved in the effort: aping the vague "some people say" formulation that Trump uses to imply he's just over here asking questions about huge conspiracy theories.
SXSW has been unsurprisingly killing it in the music game recently. We recently posted about Damon Albarn, best known as the visionary behind the multi-platinum Grammy Award winning virtual band Gorillaz, and his first ever live performance of “Clint Eastwood” with fellow Gorillaz members Del the Funkee Homosapien and Dan the Automator, and special guest Snoop Dogg (that performance was also the first time the Gorillaz members had ever met).
Total nutrient levels: Each cubic yard of these coffee grounds contains a total of 10.31 lbs. nitrogen, of which 0.01 lb. (0.09%) are available. Thus, even though available nitrogen is considered deficient in this product, there still remains over 10 lbs. of total nitrogen per cubic yard of coffee grounds. Thus, nitrogen is primarily bound in the organic fraction and is unavailable to plants until soil microorganisms degrade the organic fraction. Through this process, the nitrogen is converted to plant available forms.
Too much of what's called computer science in the public education system involves basic IT skills. That's one of the complaints about precollege education lodged by the Association for Computing Machinery in a statement on computer science in the K-12 education system. The ACM has listened to president-elect Obama discuss plans for improving and expanding education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and wants to make sure computer science isn't left out. But integrating computer science into earlier phases of education may be a longer-term challenge than the ACM's statement indicates.
09/03/15 Just a quick note on the spiked buck mule deer (“Starrbuck“) with the odd antlers and a possible reason for this which I think was suggested previously. The “rut” (breeding season) began at least two weeks ago – it used to not begin until late September – and I’m seeing more bucks in the HQ area. Their testicles are quite obvious. However, not the case with Starrbuck. I actually think he is lacking them.
“The Dubai Blockchain Strategy 2020 is one of, if not the, most ambitious Blockchain initiatives globally. The strength of the partnership between Smart Dubai, IBM and ConsenSys will accelerate this vision.
Thankfully Archangel Gabriel came to the rescue. Gabriel appeared in the monks dreams and showed him how to tie a special knot that vanquishes the Devil. The very next day the monk started to pray and to tie the special knot that consist of 7 small interlocking crosses (the knots that compose the chotki). The Devil appeared again, but when he tried to untie the knots the special bond of the knots repelled him back to hell. This brave humble monk stood his ground and kept on going even in his darkest hours. Ultimately claiming victory over evil.
And if the baby is born with a "too-small" penis that doctors decide will never be big enough to "successfully" penetrate a woman, physicians will probably make him into a "girl" through surgery and hormone treatments, because, in the words of one surgeon, "It's easier to poke a hole than to build a pole." In the 40 years since surgical intervention to "correct" genitals that are viewed as abnormal was first prescribed, treatment protocols have rarely been questioned.
Cartels use propaganda to try to turn public opinion against their rivals and the federal government, promoting themselves as an alternative source of legitimacy, attempt to shift negative attention to the operations of rivals and government security forces, and even orchestrate demonstrations to try to give off the appearance of popular support. While modern counterinsurgency theory often sees intimidation and legitimacy as inherent opposites, the cartels -- like many other violent elites -- see the hard and soft touch as two sides of the same coin.
The third option there is intriguing, but we shouldn’t rush to it. After all, wouldn’t there be other examples in MLS history of teams that created similar chance that break the models? At any rate, this is an intriguing question that at the end of the season, we’ll either look back on and say “yea, saw that coming, shucks” (like West Ham in 2015/2016 EPL?) or that will cause us to reconsider how we think about finishing and expected goals (I think?). Some more shooting charts for Atlanta for anyone who hasn’t already thrown their computers and/or smartphones out a window:
Choosing fire, the tattoo is burned off Kyle's back with a cutting torch. He loses consciousness during the process, and it is unknown if Kyle is still alive after being left on the steps of St. Thomas Hospital, where his ex-wife, April Hobart (Liane Curtis) is waiting to aid him after being tipped off by Gemma that Kyle would likely need medical care.
Livid over the GOP letter, Biden proclaimed: “In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which Senators wrote directly to advise another country.” Directing his venom at the Senate’s Republican majority, Biden claimed the GOP letter was “expressly designed to undercut a sitting President in the midst of sensitive international negotiations…(an act) beneath the dignity of an institution I revere.” Biden need not go back that far to find a senator who sent advice to a foreign power when similar “sensitive” negotiations were ongoing. Seven years back is far enough.
Between 1579 and 1583, Raleigh took part in the suppression of the Desmond Rebellions. He was present at the Siege of Smerwick, where he led the party that beheaded some 600 Spanish and Italian soldiers. [15][16] Raleigh received 40,000 acres (16,000 ha) (approx. 0.2% of Ireland) upon the seizure and distribution of land following the attainders arising from the rebellion, including the coastal walled towns of Youghal and Lismore. This made him one of the principal landowners in Munster, but he had limited success inducing English tenants to settle on his estates.
As AlterNet noted, to put the statistics in perspective, "calculate how many more whites over those three years would have had to have been killed for them to have been at equal risk. The number is jarring — 185, more than one per week."
His newfound moralizing is a bit rich from someone who a dozen years ago was the country’s leading exponent of twee naïveté, but it has been extremely well received in most liberal quarters, where its mixture of political talking points and straightforward narrative drive satisfies a notion that good fiction should be relevant and topical. Eggers continues to demonstrate his knack for relating to his readership. That readership is simply older now, has more money, and reads The New York Times.
And more dollars don’t mean more prosperity for the people of Cuba; more dollars means more wealth and power concentrated in the hands of Cuba’s communist regime.
I wanted to be the guy who my men could look to and say: 'Yeah, I would follow him.' And the audience would look at him and think: 'Yeah, I can see why they would follow him into battle.' And then finally, that I would be feeling like: 'Of course they're going to follow me.' I also wanted to see that in their eyes, that I could feel they had respect for me.
This movie expresses it through characters who need to be touched, but can’t.
Neither of the Clinton associates, Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, faced legal consequences for their misleading statements, which they made in interviews last year with former FBI section chief Peter Strzok. Specifically, both women claimed to not have learned about Hillary's secret server until after she left State -- but there are emails from both of them dating from as early as 2010 talking about the server they claimed they didn't know about.
Providing further context, "Tesla vehicles built since October 2014 log data from every mile driven, whether the car is operating in Autopilot mode or not. Even if an owner forgoes the purchase of Autopilot, the car still transmits wireless driving data directly to Tesla and into its cloud based machine learning network. By using data sourced from drivers in the real world, engineers at Tesla are able to continuously 'train' the vehicle’s algorithms to predict the types of objects around a vehicle, and with increasing levels of confidence."
Based on the literature, two general hypotheses were generated which were to be tested by an experimental design employing eye movement analyses and jumbled (transposed) versus unjumbled (untransposed) text reading ( Grainger & Whitney, 2004 ) in both studies. First, it was hypothesised that the more often refixated word class is used to improve the understanding of words. Participants should significantly more refixate to semantically important words while reading, especially if the whole sentence is hard to understand (due to transposed words). This, in turn, should enhance word understanding.
GOV. CHRISTIE: I don't -- I don't. And again, I don't know whether this was a traffic study that then morphed into a political vendetta or a political vendetta that morphed into a traffic study. I mean, I've seen, in front of the legislature statistics and other things about the traffic study, so I know there's information there. I don't know what it is, and so we'll find out over time maybe, but that's really in the minds of the people who were doing it, and that's what I based my decisions on at the time, was the testimony that people gave.
“We can confirm that Leslie Benzies went on sabbatical on September 1, 2014 and has decided not to return to work for the company. We are very grateful for Leslie’s contributions to Rockstar over the last 15 years as we worked together to make some amazing games. Leslie helped us build an incredible team that will continue to create great experiences for our fans. Leslie will always be a friend to the company and of course we are going to miss him but we wish him the absolute best for the future.”
This dynamic is further underscored by tensions between ground commanders and the FSA leadership with respect to the Latakia offensive. On August 10th the FSA was forced to deny allegations that its battalions would be withdrawing from Latakia in response to rumors that the FSA leadership ordered ground troops to stop fighting.

Okay, so maybe there aren’t fifty shades, but I’ve yet to do a “50-shades of gray” take-off in a blog post so this seemed like a good time to play that card. The fact is that there are many different types of self-publishers and it drives me a little nuts when people lump them all together, and report statistics on the group as a whole.
Running three colors can be difficult, but this deck enables it in a number of ways. First, most of the spells in it only require a single mana of a given color to play. So once you have a forest in play, you can play almost all of your green cards, for instance. The deck also includes several mana fixing cards like Cultivate and Rampant Growth. Those will allow you to grab exactly the land you need to cast what's in your hand. They also accelerate the deck by letting you play bigger threats earlier than your opponent can.
However, em units have their drawbacks as well, particularly for web-apps or teams where many people touch the CSS. Consider Harvest, a web-app with thousands of lines of CSS code. We use modularized CSS for various designs and extensions used in various places throughout the app (like our calendar pop-over). If any of our styles were set in ems, then there’s a possibility that the pop-over would get added to too many different parent elements in too many different places with various font-size s, causing it to look different each time and ruining the consistency.
At nine o’clock on the following Saturday night, however, Morrison issued a media release revealing that his comments had been wrong. His most explosive admission was that most of the violence probably took place “within the perimeter of the centre.” At a hastily convened press conference in Sydney the following day, he said he had only found out the full facts on the Saturday, and so had sent out the correction that night. Both Australia and Papua New Guinea launched inquiries into the violence, although the governments agreed that only a “merged” report would be published.
Adjusted models include potential confounders chosen a priori based on known or suspected associations with ADHD (or its clinical diagnosis) and driving outcomes including sex, race/ethnicity, insurance payor, disruptive behavior and seizure disorders, licensure age (for crash outcome), primary care practice, birth year, and zip code–level income and population density. Multiplicative interaction was assessed using likelihood ratio tests. We examined the association between medication and crashes among the 1036 licensed drivers with ADHD who had a CHOP network visit in the year before licensure.
In the early 1970s, the farm activist Jim Hightower warned of the McDonaldization of America. He viewed the emerging fast food industry as a threat to independent businesses, as a step toward a food economy dominated by giant corporations, and as a homogenizing influence on American life. In Eat Your Heart Out (1975), he argued that bigger is not better. Much of what Hightower feared has come to pass. The centralized purchasing decisions of the large restaurant chains and their demand for standardized products have given a handful of corporations an unprecedented degree of power over the nation’s food supply.
Figure 1: Substitutional Reality System. In the recording module (left), the panoramic view was recorded in advance by a panoramic camera, and stored in the data storage connected to the control computer. In the experience module (right), either a live scene captured by a head-mounted camera or recorded scenes cropped from a pre-recorded movie were shown on a head-mounted display (HMD). The cropped area presented in the recorded scenes was determined in real-time using head orientation information calculated from the HMD orientation sensor. Scene examples are shown here.
); and only he could officiate at the sacrifices following his own or another priest's consecration (Lev. ix.). He also offered a meal- offering every morning and evening for himself and the whole body of the priesthood (Lev. vi. 14-15, though the wording of the law is not altogether definite). Other information concerning his functions is not given.
The completion of the International Space Station has provided expanded and improved facilities for performing industrial research. These have and will continue to lead to improvements in our knowledge of materials sciences, new manufacturing techniques on Earth, and potentially some important discoveries in space manufacturing methods. NASA and Tethers Unlimited will test the Refabricator aboard the ISS, which is intended to recycle plastic for use in space additive manufacturing. [3]
It appears that officials at the IRS can’t get motivated to work resolving an actual problem and are instead spending time embroiling themselves in embarrassing scandals. Perhaps it’s time to bring in some people who not only understand the law but are willing to enforce it.
She tells him to share his scales with each of the other fish. And she continues to him that he may no longer be the most beautiful fish in the ocean, but he will discover how to be happy.
Yes, China is investing in new wind and solar technologies, but it is plowing far more cash into big hydropower, coal, and nuclear energy projects. In addition to its monolithic Three Gorges Dam, the world’s biggest hydropower project, China is building or planning to build 20 mega-dams along its stretch of the Mekong River, which could have serious impacts on biodiversity, fisheries, and water users in downstream nations, such as Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
* The audience: Look, if you are going to have an audience why tell them repeatedly they can say and do nothing during the debate? I am agnostic on whether these general election debates should have an audience at all. But, if you are going to have one, don't tell them to never make a sound. A little bit of cheering and reaction makes the whole thing more watchable, more enjoyable and more real. If we don't let the audience react every once in a while, then we let the "Quiet Car" people win. And we can't let that happen.
Indented # lines below an unindented line are settings related to that environment.
She held before me a rice ball nearly the size of my own head. And she'd brought three of them. (When I asked her later, she shyly told me one was a spare, but at any rate, it's not normal to keep spare riceballs in your lunchbox.) I don't have a large appetite in the first place, so I don't think I could never eat something that big. And I don't have the time to make lunches in the likeness of cartoon characters in the morning, either. And what's more, if 6th period's starting right about now... didn't they just have lunch?
It’s one of the hardest flight combat sims ever made, and it’s filled with odds and situations that will make you wonder more than once if you’re playing for the wrong team (and should the call of the Dark Side become too strong, you can even defect, by purchasing TIE Fighter).
Pak says that the "key supporting character" of Totally Awesome Hulk is a "very important character" who had been "mentioned" previously but never actually appeared. If you consider Pak's previous Marvel stories, arguably the most notable of that would be Madame Curie Cho, "Maddy" Cho. She's the sister to Amadeus Cho, originally thought murdered with her family but later discovered to be abducted by the Excello group in Incredible Hercules. Cho briefly had plans to track her down, but the storyline got lost in the cracks and never resolved.
On current evidence, the leaks are just as awkward for Israel. They contradict the official Israeli narrative that the Palestinians rejected generous Israeli offers, and portray Palestinians as initiating ideas, only to be stymied by Israeli stonewalling. They give credence to Palestinian claims that Mr Netanyahu made no counter-proposals. Had a more responsive Israeli prime minister been in charge, or had the Obama administration picked up from where his predecessors left off, rather than frittering away two years on an elusive settlement freeze, a two-state agreement might yet have looked imminent.
It is noteworthy that there is no National Guard organization corresponding to the Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard. That the Coast Guard is listed in the place of a Naval National Guard is in part for convenience and in part because the Coast Guard in fact functions as a kind of Naval National Guard -- as "Coastal Defense" in terms of old Naval war doctrine. Since the Coast Guard is a full-time, active service it does have its own Reserve. The Air Force National Guard shares some of the operational ambiguity of the Coast Guard.
Later that night, Juana attempts to take the pearl and throw it into the ocean, but Kino finds her and beats her for doing so. A group of men accost Kino and knock the pearl from his hand. Juana watches from a distance and sees Kino approach her, limping with another man whose throat Kino has slit. Juana finds the pearl, and they decide that they must leave even if the killing was in self-defense. Kino finds that his canoe has been damaged, their house was torn up, and the outside set afire.
On the U2415 if you try and swivel the screen side to side without holding the base steady on the desk, the whole stand will move. On the U2715H that isn't the case thankfully and it swivels properly as it should. The rotate function is a stiff but smooth enough to move if you want to switch into portrait mode. Overall when making adjustments to your viewing angle and position the screen remains stable on the desk and there is minimal wobble from the screen.
These folks are supposed to be analysts who answer to the rules of science, not performance artists trotted out for the benefit of the prosecution.
Even if one is sympathetic to this way of telling the story, Matson's historical methods are frequently doubtful. Among his reasons for such enthusiasm about Thales, for instance, are that "he invented geometrical proof" and "he predicted 'the very year' in which a solar eclipse would occur in his part of the world" (66). Although such assertions are indeed found among the reports concerning Thales's life, scholars doubt the veracity of both claims. Even a popular work such as this ought to adhere to a higher standard of scholarship.
His recent individual performances don't invoke quite the same optimism though, as he was meekly eliminated from both Korean leagues early on.
RWBY vs. Torchwick/the reconciliation: I hope I did a good job of differentiating between 'midfight is not the time to argue', 'deciding that there are more important things to worry about', and 'actual reconciliation'. Changed the fight itself a bit to emphasize teamwork and tactics more than just 'hit it til it dies, and some ice i guess'. Also... don't assume Torchwick is just blindly revealing things. He's too good at his job for that. The ending reconciliation is hopefully not rushed-the point here isn't that things are good, but rather than they're good enough.
Stephenson later widened the tracks a half inch for practical reasons, making the standard gauge four feet, eight and a half inches. While this is an “exceedingly odd number,” it derives from a basic track width of five feet, which is not odd at all.
I was right about the limitless supply of anti-Facebooks—the Instagrams, the Snapchats, the WhatsApps and WeChats—and Facebook’s willingness to drop billions of dollars to co-opt them. In fact, the Snapchat offer suggests the price is going up. That said, it’s now clear that Facebook isn’t going to run out of billions buying these types of startups. Rather, there will be some that won’t sell, or that Facebook simply can’t afford, and it will be forced to compete with them instead. In fact, Facebook did try to compete with Snapchat, by building a similar product called Poke, but it bombed.
It is abundantly clear that Angel Olsen is at peace, now, with the possibilites of people interpreting her music whichever way they hear it. “I sent the record to a friend of mine, but without the lyric sheet, and they wrote me back saying, 'Oh, I really loved this line.' And they had the line wrong; they got a couple of words wrong that totally changed the context of it. I couldn't bring myself to correct them, because I wanted them to be able to manipulate it.
