Sun and Brady Dennis: “Global health authorities and government officials are mobilizing to battle the fast-spreading Zika virus … But their efforts are being hobbled by a fundamental lack of understanding of a disease that has spread to nearly three dozen countries and is moving so quickly that some experts estimate it could infect as many as 3 million to 4 million people within 12 months. Unlike Ebola, which had been studied extensively by the time it emerged in Guinea in late 2013, Zika wasn’t considered a menace. The mystery surrounding the virus — officials aren’t sure what will turn up next — makes it ‘much more insidious, cunning and evil’ than Ebola, said Bruce Aylward, a WHO official. ‘This emergency is because of what’s unknown,’ said David Heymann, an infectious-disease professor. But it is not always clear what that decisive action should be, or how to marshal the political and financial resources needed to make it happen.” -- “17 years after Columbine, the mother of one of the killers finally tells her story, <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click/6105674.402177/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL25ld3MvYm9vay1wYXJ0eS93cC8yMDE2LzAyLzEzLzE3LXllYXJzLWFmdGVyLWNvbHVtYmluZS10aGUtbW90aGVyLW9mLW9uZS1vZi10aGUta2lsbGVycy1maW5hbGx5LXRlbGxzLWhlci1zdG9yeS8_d3BtbT0xJndwaXNyYz1ubF9kYWlseTIwMg/5483d5bc3b35d0d76d8c549cCf06062e9>” by Carlos Lozada: “Stories of victims are prevalent in our reckoning with mass shootings. They carry greater moral force, or less moral ambiguity, than those of perpetrators. But Sue Klebold is both the mother of a killer and of one of his victims, too … This book’s insights are painful and necessary, and its contradictions inevitable. It is an apology to the loved ones of the victims; a catalogue of warning signs missed. Sue knows she will always be seen as ‘the woman who raised a murderer,’ but she insists that she and Tom were loving, engaged parents. Though they recognized that Dylan had problems, ‘we simply — and drastically and lethally— underestimated the depth and severity of his pain and everything he was capable of doing to make it stop.’” Related: The CDC reports a spike in Zika infections in PUERTO RICO over the past month. The mosquito that commonly transmits the virus is prevalent there. That's bad news for the island going into spring break season.

Concatenating multiple diffs Directory caches may, at their discretion, return the concatenation of multiple diffs using the format above. Such diffs are to be applied from first to last. This allows the caches to cache a smaller number of compressed diffs, at the expense of some loss in bandwidth efficiency. 5. Networkstatus parameters The following parameters govern how relays and clients use this protocol. min-consensuses-age-to-cache-for-diff (min 0, max 744, default 6) max-consensuses-age-to-cache-for-diff (min 0, max 8192, default 72) These two parameters determine how much consensus history (in hours) relays should try to cache in order to serve diffs. try-diff-for-consensus-newer-than (min 0, max 8192, default 72) This parameter determines how old a consensus can be (in hours) before a client should no longer try to find a diff for it.
We intend to work together for the long haul on mostly competition-related topics including, for one example, FRAND licensing terms.... We've known each other ever since I vocally opposed Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems (not because of Java), but that's history as I fully respect the European Commission's clearance decision and the subsequent closing of the deal. When Oracle and I started talking about areas in which I could provide analysis, we thought that the Google litigation was going to be over by the time we would work together. When Oracle and I started talking about areas in which I could provide analysis, we thought that the Google litigation was going to be over by the time we would work together. Due to various delays, the trial now happens to occur pretty much at the start of this new relationship, and I will continue to cover this lawsuit in detail on this blog, especially during these eventful and interesting weeks. I won't have access to confidential information, but as Judge Alsup noted, this is a public trial, so there's no shortage of publicly available information. No confidential information, the man said. We'll be tracking that. Update: I see Jan Wildeboer making this point explicitly: I have always said that in my personal opinion Florians analysis is biased. Seems I wasnt that wrong ;-) All journalists that have used his public and non-public information should take note that they are talking to someone that works (and/or has worked) for both Microsoft and Oracle and thus is not exactly an independent source or expert. Thats all. And they shouldn't they let their readers know too, so readers are not misled?
The Oakland City Council is scheduled to vote tonight on a deal to sell city-owned land near West Oakland's BART station to a nonprofit that improperly obtained hundreds of thousands in county tax dollars, according to the Alameda County Grand Jury. The city would sell the land for a nominal price, even though it's worth $1.4 million, in order to subsidize an affordable housing project on site.Further complicating the deal is the fact that the nonprofit's leader sued the City of Oakland last year, alleging that councilmember Desley Brooks attacked her at a barbecue restaurant. The lawsuit is ongoing, and Brown is seeking millions in damages from the city.The nonprofit, Oakland and the World Enterprises , was set up by former Black Panther Elaine Brown to build affordable housing and operate an urban farm in West Oakland. It also plans to build a grocery store, restaurant, fitness center, and technology center at the location.But according to the Grand Jury, Brown's group was given $710,000 by Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson at the same time Brown was a paid staff member in Carson's office. "[T]he dual role of the county employee in these transactions constituted both a failure of good governance practices by the county of Alameda and a conflict of interest," concluded the Grand Jury in their investigation , which was published yesterday.Brown is currently listed as a staff member in charge of job creation and West Oakland constituent services on Carson's supervisor web site According to tax records and other documents, Brown incorporated Oakland and the World Enterprises in 2014. The organization's 2015 tax return states that she received no salary or other pay.In 2015, the organization received $290,000 in government grants.
And in March, his first daughter was born two months premature, weighing 2.7 pounds. Two months later, she underwent surgery to remove fluid from her brain. In April of 2008, LSU's student newspaper, the Daily Reveille, reported that a waiter at the Kona Grill claimed Perrilloux called him a racial slur, "Osama." Ryan denied the allegation. Then a report surfaced that Ryan had failed a drug test for an unidentified banned substance. Perrilloux denied it, but the points and red flags were adding up. Too many, in fact, for LSU to handle. On May 2, 2008, Coach Miles held a press conference and announced that Ryan Perrilloux had been dismissed from the LSU football team. "Ryan was given every opportunity to be a part of this football team," Miles said. "In the end, he didn't fulfill his obligation as an LSU student-athlete." By now, the red flags had built up and Ryan Perrilloux had almost completely disappeared. * * *
Basic earnings per share were 4.9 versus (5.8) pence loss per share in the prior year, and on an adjusted basis (this measure, set out in note 5, excludes amortisation, depreciation and R&D capitalised within the measure) the basic earnings per share was 7.4 pence, compared to a loss per share of 11.4 pence. The Group has made cashflow the primary financial statement as the Board believes it represents a clearer picture of the Group's performance. Frontier has also fine-tuned its key financial measures in conjunction with the business model transition; measuring revenue on an unadjusted basis as the differences to underlying revenue have become less material. The Group has presented adjusted operating profit as its preferred measure of profitability to provide an improved insight into performance over the transition period: adjusted operating profit seeks to add back funding related and all non cash overheads so as to measure the surplus resources available after re-investment in development costs of its self-publishing and tools and technology work. Group Trading Performance in Transition The Group continued the planned transitional investment phase to develop and launch Elite Dangerous in the year on both PC and Mac platforms, this being its first major large budget self-published title, together with associated technology development. The Group is in transition from being a developer of video games and related software technology, to becoming an independent publisher of its own video game franchises, while continuing to develop its own software in-house. By the end of the financial year the first franchise team, working on Elite Dangerous, represented approximately half of the development effort of the Company. Following the successful completion of work for external publishers, including Scream Ride for Microsoft and Tales from Deep Space for Amazon, the transition of the other half of the development effort began, developing second franchise "Planet Coaster" - this was announced at the E3 trade show shortly after the end of the financial year, receiving a very positive response from the public and press. The transitional phase is expected to complete in 2016 with the launch of Planet Coaster. In January 2015 the Group consolidated its development activity in Cambridge and took the opportunity to align the mix of skills in the business. The office in Canada was closed, leaving the subsidiary operating as a home based project support function. The cost of the re-organisation was £0.3 million.
Get back out there. That’s what goes through Darnell Nurse’s mind in the split-second he realizes a shot is coming.“There’s a lot of things we do on the ice out there that would lead you to think we’re mental,” quipped the Oilers rookie defenceman. “It’s definitely not an easy thing, but as a player it’s something you’ve got to be willing to do.”While Nurse says he thinks about the pain he may experience upon blocking a shot, there really is no hesitation to do it.“For players nowadays, it’s kind of like a second nature to get in front of shots and block them or try to get a piece of the puck. Every team does it. I think the first thing that goes through your mind is ‘am I in the lane?’ Then, you’re just waiting to feel it.”You try to be in the right position. That’s first and foremost. If you can do that, you may save yourself the pain.“If you’re in good position, you can avoid the hurt part and actually you can avoid the shot blocking part because you can take the shot away and maybe get them to dump it or whatever. It’s the desperation ones that are tough. You’re not as close to the shooter as you’d like to be, maybe you’re further back,” said McLellan.The moment you decide to put yourself between your net and a shooter, it becomes a waiting game. You don’t have to wait long, but there’s a slight layer of anxiety attached to your decision.“You try to be in the lane, but you don’t always know. It happens so fast that sometimes you don’t know if you’re actually in the lane. The d-men are so good now that they can change the angle real quick with a little toe drag or side step. It’s actually quite tough to get in the lane nowadays, but it’s a nervous anticipation. You’re just waiting for that sting or hoping it hits the padding,” Klinkhammer explained.Klinkhammer, who says he’s broken both feet right where the laces are, knows the pain of taking a shot in the wrong spot.“It hurts a lot. It’s like somebody whacking you with a crowbar. A 95-100 mph slap-shot right on the bone, lots of time that bone breaks. It’s pretty painful. It’s not fun to do.”Stepping in front of a fast-moving chunk of vulcanized rubber, risking injury, isn’t something for everyone.

1. Economic Warfare. Of course, to fight the U.S., we have to come up with key “weapons.” What is the most powerful weapon China has today? It is our economic power, especially our foreign exchange reserves. The key is to use it well. If we use it well, it is a weapon; otherwise it may become a burden. Counting on the fact that the U.S. dollar is the international currency, the U.S. government has increased the number of dollars in circulation, leading to its devaluation. The countries with high reserves in dollars will suffer, but the U.S. itself loses nothing. However, for this to be true there is a premise. Someone must purchase those excess dollars they printed. If no one purchases them, then they will only be circulated domestically, inside the U.S., and cause inflation. In order for the countries with foreign exchange reserves in the U.S. dollar to restrain the U.S. from over-issuing U.S. currency, they must act together and not buy U.S. dollars. There are two ways to achieve this. The first is for all these countries to reach a consensus and act together as one. The second is if one country takes the lead, does not buy U.S. dollars, and other countries then follow. Which alternative should China choose? The first tactic requires countries with foreign exchange reserves to reach a consensus. China, Japan, the U.K., India, and Saudi Arabia are all countries with high foreign exchange reserves. Japan is constrained by the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and will not break away from the U.S., so the probability of Japan cooperating is very low. Great Britain has always followed the U.S., so the probability that it will cooperate with China is also pretty low. There have been recent changes in Britain’s political structure. Prime Minister Cameron has adopted a new strategy toward China that increases the possibilities for cooperation, making it a more likely player than Japan. Also, the U.K.’s foreign exchange reserves, which are market adjusted instead of sovereign funds, are to a large extent subject to market impact. India has stayed closely allied with the U.S. in recent years, and Obama promised to support India for a permanent membership in the UNSC. Thus, the probability for India to cooperate with China is also not great. India’s purchasing power of foreign exchange reserves is very limited anyway, so it cannot influence the overall situation much.
It was not until 72 years later, in May last year, that Ottawa issued a formal apology. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons: “No words can fully erase the suffering of the Komagata Maru victims. Today, we apologize and commit to doing better.” Canada Post issued a commemorative stamp, featuring the ship and Gurdit Singh. This year, Stratford Festival mounted a new adaptation of the 1976 Sharon Pollock play, The Komagata Maru Incident. Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives mounted an exhibition in Brampton, where Punjabi is now the second-most spoken language and which Jagmeet Singh has represented in the Ontario Legislature since 2011. Contemporary influx of Sikhs to Canada began in the 1970s, along with other groups from Asia under liberalized immigration. That was the time when Sikhs in India were agitating for a separate homeland, Khalistan, the land of the pure. From a relatively peaceful, political protest movement it evolved into a militant campaign, with its leader and armed followers taking refuge in the Golden Temple, the Sikh’s holiest shrine, in Amritsar, in 1982. In 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered the Indian army in. A reported 1,500 were killed in that military operation. In retaliation, Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards as she came out of her residence in Delhi. That triggered retaliatory attacks on Sikhs in Delhi and elsewhere, killing an estimated 3,000. In 1985, an Air India flight out of Toronto was blown up by an on-board bomb, off the coast of Ireland, killing 329 people — the worst terrorist incident in Canadian history. Suspicion fell on a group of West Coast Sikhs, but only one, Inderjit Singh Reyat, was convicted (and paroled last year). All the facts were never established due to a prolonged, botched RCMP investigation and despite two federal inquiries. All this has remained a sore point with India — and also many Canadian Hindus. Both tend to see Sikh critics of India as radical “Khalistanis.” In 1987, on a foggy July morning, 174 Sikhs were found standing on a highway in Shelburne County, N.S. They had been let off near the shore by a boat. One asked where he could find a taxi to Toronto. Eventually, they were accepted as refugees, as were thousands of other Sikhs.
Although the TBN is a little flaccid this is a very good oil for the price.Mobil Delvac Super 1300 15w40 is pretty similar to the SuperTech. Although it has lower zinc, it has more moly and boron. A better detergent package and TBN mean it will go further than the SuperTech.Rotella T Triple Protection (T3) is interesting. It has great zinc, does alright when it’s cold, and a huge slug of detergent. The 15w40 beats its 10w30 brother in anti-wear protection, both in HTHS and zinc, moly, and boron, and overall is about on par with the SuperTech for anti-wear. However, the 15w40’s phosphorous content is abnormally high – nearly a 1:1 ratio with zinc! While it does have the anti-wear properties our engines need, it compares poorly to other oils as it will shorten catalyst life with little benefit. Despite this it has a serious wad of calcium which supports its use as a cheap way to clean up a dirty engine. It is an excellent conventional HDEO but there are better options for a mixed fleet.T3 10w30, while lacking in moly, is a reasonable oil. It’s pretty thick for a 10w30, and with a higher TBN it would be well suited for extended use. A decent zinc/phosphorous ratio is supported by lower calcium. However, the 10w30 variant isn’t as strong as other oils in terms of cleaning up and may not be the best choice for a dirty engine. I should mention that although this has higher levels of phosphorous in 10w30 grade it is still able to be certified as API SM. The reason for this is that it is primarily an HDEO, not a PCMO. When a “C” designation precedes an “S” designation, as in CJ-4/SM, the “non-critical” side kicks in. This oil would be able to achieve API SM with up to 920 PPM of phosphorous. The reverse would not be true if it was rated SM/CJ-4.Chevron Delo 400 LE 15w40 is actually my favorite oil in this category. It’s a little thicker than the other 15w40s but has the best additive package overall. With lower phosphorous for better catalyst life while keeping zinc over 1000 PPM, this is very much in line with API SL/SJ requirements that half of XJs adhered to. A healthy dose of moly and Texas-size slug of boron should produced results similar to or maybe better than higher levels of zinc.
Dried samples were allowed to rehydrate for 30 min in 1 mL of 0.14 M sodium chloride solution. Cells were then dislodged from the substratum by vigorous shaking for 2 min with glass beads (diameter 0.45–0.50 mm; approx. 300 mg per sample; B. Braun Biotech International, Melsungen, Germany). For total cell counts, cell suspensions were stained for 20 min with DAPI (5 μg mL−1), and cells were enumerated by epifluorescence microscopy (Nikon Eclipse Ni-E, Plan Apo 100 × /1.4 oil WD 0.13 mm; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). For plate counts, 100 μL of cell suspension was plated on R2A agar and incubated for 2 days at 45°C. Colonies were enumerated, and colony-forming units (cfu) were calculated. For comparability, total cell counts (in cells mL−1) and plate counts (in cfu mL−1) were referred to the surface area of the investigated samples. Thus, results were expressed in cells cm−2 or cfu cm−2, respectively. Cell membrane integrity was assessed with the LIVE/DEAD BacLight Bacterial Viability Kit (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) comprising the dyes SYTO 9 and propidium iodide (PI). Using the dyes at the concentrations recommended by the manufacturer (5 μM and 30 μM for SYTO 9 and PI, respectively) resulted in an overestimation of membrane-damaged cells. Optimal discrimination between intact and membrane-damaged cells was achieved when PI was diluted 100-fold in particle-free deionized water. Both dyes were then mixed in a 1:1 ratio, and 3 μL of dye mix was added to 1 mL of bacterial suspension, resulting in a dye concentration in the assay of 5 μM and 0.3 μM for SYTO 9 and PI, respectively. Cells were stained for 20 min and analyzed by epifluorescence microscopy or confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM; LSM 510; Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, Göttingen, Germany). Samples treated with 70% isopropyl alcohol for 1 h were used as a dead control. PI-negative cells were considered intact, whereas PI-positive cells were considered membrane-damaged. Total ATP was quantified with the BacTiter-Glo Microbial Cell Viability Assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Luminescence was recorded by a Glomax 20/20 luminometer (Promega GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Results (in mol ATP mL−1) were referred to total cell counts (in cells mL−1). 16S rRNA was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Cells were fixed for 1 h at 4°C in 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.2), air-dried, and dehydrated by a successive 3 min immersion in 50%, 80%, and 96% ethanol.
We hope this missive finds you well and in good spirits! Sadly our carrier pigeon with the tales of Caer Galen Midwinter got a little lost. The scared little pigeon was finally found and we now bring you the events of that great day. The morning was beautiful and the temperatures moderate. HE Randall Carrick was gracious to help us by Heralding our opening court. Members of the Praetorian Regina (Queen’s Guard) Maestra Tatiana Bonnioulx, Lord Svein Hammar, Lady Viola de Luca, and Lord Servi di Villano were in attendance and came forward to be invested.Likewise the Comite (Attendants) Mirza Jibra'il and Hrafna Ylvawere were called to receive their favors and be invested. The Children present were called forward and were offered an item out of the treasure chest however Our treasure chest was in need of replacement. Lord Svein Hammar generously gifted a handmade treasure chest full of coins of chocolate for Us to share across the land. Our court was recessed and a day full of good council was had. That evening Sir Rowland de Grey of Lincolnshire was kind to be Our Herald. We Invested Baroness Morgan Cheyney as a Comite (Attendant) as her worthy steed had been not so worthy that morning. Seraphina Pania was called before the court and the many things she does for her Barony and Kingdom made known to the Populace. She was Awarded Arms and charged to continue her good works and joy in the SCA. As the newly elected Harp of Caer Galen Rowena Colebrook needed little introduction as her service was already apparent to the crowd assembled. She was awarded a Stag's Heart for all of her great works. The Centurio Sagitarii Regius (Archery Guard) was called up to be invested. The Captain of the Archery Guard and Outlands Royal Archer, THLord Konrad Von Alpirsbach as well as Sir Ramon the Chronologer (Kronos), THLord Angus Montgomery the Forrester, and THLady Lêofsige Õ Caoimh (Lyssa) were present to be given their hoods. It was announced that THLord Gauvain Eisenbein Is the new Rapier General of the Outlands and his Southern Commander will be Lord Septimus Marius Belisarius. Their Excellencies of Caer Galen do much for the Kingdom and The Society. His service we have seen across the known world and her arts and support of the Arts and Sciences is immeasurable.

Shaping the pillars of the self Dan McAdams assumed that “we are all tellers of tales” (McAdams, 1993) by the mere fact. Tales appear to him as a means to achieve self-insight, as a very basic way of organizing information—and a way to share this information, also about the coordinates of oneself within the society, in the world. McAdams integrates biological, developmental and cognitive aspects to explain why certain characters (like the Teacher, the Warrior, the Maker, the Friend, and the Survivor) frequently appear in such stories. During adolescence certain questions arise. For instance: “What is good? What is true? What is beautiful? How does the world work? How should the world work?” (McAdams, 1993, p. 82) The benefit of stories for self-awareness, their potential to render non-conscious ideas and values explicit, is also emphasized by Wilson (2002). Right after puberty, stories like legends and myths are replaced by “theories and creeds and other systematic explications” (McAdams, 1993, p. 85). Such theories offer the opportunity to define the goodness (and badness) of very specific actions, and to evaluate them. The acquired belief and value system is likely to stay—with changes in detail—for the rest of one's lifetime forming the basis for the story that reflects and forges our self in adulthood. It is noteworthy that a theory “impressively differentiated and integrated” (McAdams, 1993, p. 90) might be considered “particularly mature, advanced and enlightened” (p. 90). McAdams did not have conspiracy theories in mind; from a formal point of view, however, conspiracy theories also match his criteria. Particularly, the high degree of differentiation is one of the most striking features of conspiracy theories. We also observe that several story parts of a conspiracy theory are imperatively held together, at least by ad-hoc explanations or flexible interpretations of several parts toward a coherent Gestalt. This is also an important difference between a conspiracy “theory” and a truly scientific theory—the first one might be driven and put together by scientifically invaluable arguments but will yield a story which attracts people and which invites to fill the logical gaps by own considerations. This will raise the mere consumer to the position of the narrator and the creator her/himself. The shift from society to the individual when it comes to defining values, however, should not be seen as a burden alone.
"Paine disposed of the idea of the divine right of kings by a pungent history of the British monarchy, going back to the Norman conquest of 1066, when William the Conqueror came over from France to set himself on the British throne: "A French bastard landing with an armed Bandits and establishing himself king of England against the consent of the natives, is in plain terms a very paltry rascally original. It certainly hath no divinity in it. "Paine dealt with the practical advantages of sticking to England or being separated; he knew the importance of economics:As for the bad effects of the connection with England, Paine appealed to the colonists' memory of all the wars in which England had involved them, wars costly in lives and money:He built slowly to an emotional pitch:went through twenty-five editions in 1776 and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. It is probable that almost every literate colonist either read it or knew about its contents. Pamphleteering had become by this time the chief theater of debate about relations with England. From 1750 to 1776 four hundred pamphlets had appeared arguing one or another side of the Stamp Act or the Boston Massacre or The Tea Party or the general questions of disobedience to law, loyalty to government, rights and obligations.Paine's pamphlet appealed to a wide range of colonial opinion angered by England. But it caused some tremors in aristocrats like John Adams, who were with the patriot cause hut wanted to make sure it didn't go too far in the direction of democracy. Paine had denounced the so-called balanced government of Lords and Commons as a deception, and called for single-chamber representative bodies where the people could be represented. Adams denounced Paine's plan as "so democratical, without any restraint or even an attempt at any equilibrium or counter-poise, that it must produce confusion and every evil work." Popular assemblies needed to be checked, Adams thought, because they were "productive of hasty results and absurd judgments. "Paine himself came out of "the lower orders" of England-a stay-maker, tax official, teacher, poor emigrant to America. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1774, when agitation against England was already strong in the colonies. The artisan mechanics of Philadelphia, along with journeymen, apprentices, and ordinary laborers, were forming into a politically conscious militia, "in general damn'd riff-raff-dirty, mutinous, and disaffected," as local aristocrats described them.
Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Advertisement The world's smallest parrot has been filmed in the wild for the first time. The tiny bird, which is not much bigger than an adult person's thumb, is smaller than some of the insects with which it shares the forest. An expedition team filming in Papua New Guinea for the BBC programme Lost Land of the Volcano caught two of the buff-faced pygmy parrots on camera. Another adult, which weighs less than half an ounce, was also trapped by the expedition team's bird expert. On average, buff-faced pygmy parrots (Micropsitta pusio) stand less than 9cm tall and weigh 11.5g (0.41oz). They are found across the northern lowlands of the island of New Guinea from the west to the southeastern tip, up to an altitude of around 800m. Males and females look similar, but females have less prominent markings on the head. The birds have green feathers with yellowish plumage on their underparts; while their cheeks, face, and crown are more buff-coloured, hence their name. BBC wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan first discovered a tiny nest belonging to two parrots deep within pristine rainforest. The birds nest in termite mounds, using their beaks and claws to dig their way in before laying eggs in the hole created. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. Advertisement Buchanan staked out the nest from within a camouflaged hide, and was rewarded after a long wait when two birds returned. He filmed the pair at their nest entrance, as the male and female reinforced their bond by rubbing against one another. Later, another parrot was trapped unharmed by Dr Jack Dumbacher, an ornithologist from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, US, who had accompanied the BBC expedition team. Buff-faced pygmy parrots do not eat fruit and nuts but lichen and fungi. However, so little is still known about their dietary habits that it has proved difficult to rear the birds in captivity. During the expedition, the team also managed to sight a rare Salvadore's duck (Salvadorina waigiuensis), a bird that is adapted to living in fast jungle streams. The Salvadore's duck, or Salvadore's teal as it is also known, is the only duck species endemic to the island of New Guinea. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature lists the bird as Vulnerable, and its total population may be slowly declining.
At the same time, its color accuracy is completely disappointing – its readings fail to match with almost all of the targets on the sRGB chart.The default display mode, X-Reality, promises to deliver vibrant and sharp-looking images with enhanced contrast, but enabling or disabling it won't fix the domination of the blue color by a margin. It's also unnatural of Sony to expect its customers to tinker with the unfamiliar (for most) white balance settings of the display. All in all, the display bears a hefty improvement over Xperia Z2 Tablet's one (mostly in the viewing angles segment), yet it leaves a lot to be desired.The display reflects quite a bit of light. Fortunately, it's bright enough – the slate achieved a maximum brightness of 590 nits during our benchmarks (as a side comparison the Apple iPad mini 2 stands at 450 nits), which means that using the tablet under direct sunlight is a hassle-free experience. The minimum brightness, on the other hand, stands at 14 nits and this will definitely make your eyes squint if you are using it right before you fall to sleep. The viewing angles of Z3 Tablet's Compact are excellent, and you'll hardly experience any color distortions.
************* Here's AdBrite [PDF] for you to compare with how they represent it throughout. Here's what it says more fully on this point: A Chapter 11 case may be converted or dismissed under § 1112(b)(1) for continuing loss to or diminution of the estate and absence of a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation. The purpose of this ground is "to prevent the debtor-in-possession from gambling on the enterprise at the creditors' expense when there is no hope of rehabilitation." United States Trustee v. GPA Technical Consultants, Inc. (In re GPA Technical Consultants, Inc.), 106 B.R. 139, 141 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 1989). Section 1112(b)(1) was written in the conjunctive; the movant must prove not only a continuing loss to or diminution of the estate, but also must prove that there is no likelihood of rehabilitation. Lizeric, 188 B.R. at 503. To determine whether there is a continuing loss to or diminution of the estate, a court must make a full evaluation of the present condition of the estate, not merely look at the debtor's financial statements. In re Moore Construction, Inc., 206 B.R. 436, 437-38 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 1997). A continuing loss or diminution of the estate may be tolerated where reorganization is feasible and the pattern of unprofitable operations can be reversed as a result of a successful reorganization. The debtor, however, should not continue in control of the business beyond a point at which reorganization no longer remains realistic. The courts must evaluate losses on a case-by-case basis. Small losses over an extended period may be acceptable, whereas large losses in a short period may indicate that rehabilitation is not likely. In re Photo Promotion Assocs., 47 B.R. 454, 458-59 (S.D.N.Y. 1985). In addition to the amount and the nature of the losses, there is a temporal quality to the determination. At the early stages of the case, to prove an absence of a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation, the movant must show that there is no more than a "hopeless and unrealistic prospect" of rehabilitation. In re Economy Cab & Tool Co., Inc., 44 B.R. 721, 724 (Bankr. D. Minn. 1984). Section 1112(b)(1) codifies a two-prong test: continuing loss to or diminution of the estate and absence of a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation. In re Denrose Diamond, 49 B.R. 754, 756 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1985).... Conversion is not warranted despite the existence of short-term postpetition operating losses where there exists a realistic possibility of rehabilitation.

Around 1.66 million deaths by democide[1] under the current totalitarian regime in N. Korea[2], almost 4 million under the Khmer Rouge totalitarian regime[3], and at least 20 million killings by the German Nazi regime[4]. Add on the mass killings under the Maoist, Stalinist, and Leninist regimes and the deaths speak for themselves. Totalitarianism does not lead to more security (unless one refers to those who are themselves wielding the power), instead it leads to mass murder and essentially no security for the citizenry. [5]Anarchism- A defense. (A) Utility Contention. One of the claims regarding the tenability of anarchism made by Con was that value of an individual lies only in its utility to the State. The point (while being entirely unsubstantiated and really just an assertion by Con) fallaciously mistakes the State as an entity on its own. But the State is nothing but a group of people with the power to project their edicts on a populace. It is not some separate entity other than the individuals which make it up. So to claim that individuals are only worth what they're worth to the State is essentially to claim that individuals are only what they are worth to other individuals who claim State power. Seeing as this is the case Con has the burden to substantiate this categorical distinction between people part of and separate from the State. (B) Human nature. Not only does totalitarianism exacerbate the supposed problem which my opponent has pointed out regarding human nature (see Totalitarianism, point A), but a state of anarchy is actually in a special position as the only form of political organization which would be apt to deal with the problem. Under anarchism, there is no institution within society who's relative power over the rest of society is expanded so much as the State. In anarchy, the concept of political power would be abolished. Since political power is simply the most powerful weapon which criminal persons use to extend their will over the weak, abolishing this would also mostly abolish the problem my opponent has pointed out. (C) Individual safeguards. Now one might still object to anarchism because of the thought that anarchism really would be what Hobbes described as war "against every man". The contention though is hardly supported by anything in my opponent's argument though, short of undefended assertions.
6. Lifecycle delay. People are marrying later in life: between 1970 and 2012, according to Polzin and company, age at marriage increased from about 23 to 29 for men and nearly 21 to 27 for women. Meanwhile, a woman's age at the time she had her first child increased from 21 to nearly 26 over the same period. Yet two-person households drive more than solos do across the board, especially when they have a young child, and these patterns are holding up for Millennials, as the figures below show. The big question is not so much whether the solos in these cohorts will drive more once they start families, but whether they'll start traditional families at all. 7. Licenses. Graduate license programs, paired with many of the economic factors mentioned above, have led to a decline in the share of licensed drivers under age 35—down from 46 percent in 1981 to 30 percent in 2012. Even if these Millennials get a license eventually, the question again becomes whether their non-driving habits will carry over into later years as a lifestyle preference.

Biograph operated four cameramen to film the event. One camera was designated to shoot the action, one remained loaded and ready for when camera one signalled he had run out of film. A third camera in the rotation was reloading while a forth was for backup in case one of the three failed. Two hundred thousand frames were photographed that night, none of which is believed to exist. Perforations along the film were made within the Biograph camera, and buckling of the film happened throughout the fight. Cameramen were able to monitor this technicality by watching the film via a red-glass peephole on the side of the camera wall. To further ensure no light destroyed the exposure, and that the cameraman could see the celluloid passing, a small red light bulb was inside the camera to provide some illumination. Seven seconds of footage (above) taken by the Vitagraph camera. Even though no stock remains from the seven miles of film that was taken that night by AM&BC, there is approximately five minutes of known footage. The footage above-right is from what has been described as bootleg footage from that night, taken possibly by a fan with a hidden camera within the crowd. This however, is unlikely for a number of reasons, two of which are the high security of the event surrounding filming rights, and the fact that cameras in 1899 weren't exactly something a person could hide under a jacket or in a cigar box, let alone set up and operate amongst a crowd of fight fans. If it can be said, in those days Biograph had the 'rights' to filming the fight. However in the early days of movies, there was ruthlessness in the business. Vitagraph had secretly stationed their camera further back, behind the Biograph employees and cameras. A second fight broke out, this one outside the ring, after Biograph had discovered the camera. Even though Vitagraph did manage to photograph the fight, Thomas Edison's long arm reached out and removed the film from the Vitagraph lab on the evening they had processed the film. Jeffries won the contest, but both fighters agreed to re-film the final round due to the fact AM&BC ran out of film. In the years to follow, Jeffries toured the U.S. giving theatrical performances in a play called "The Man from the West." The Jeffries-Sharkey fight was the first ever filmed under artificial lighting.
3 March 2014To start off I feel that suggesting that Gogol is a Russian would be a bit of an insult to the Ukrainians, especially at this point in time, since his biography on Goodreads indicates that his mother was Polish and the father was a Ukranian Cossack (and he also wrote in both Russian and Ukrainian, though no doubt the languages are little more than a dialect of each other – though I would not be running around Maiden Square screaming that at this point in time).I did not realise that I would actually enjoy this play as much as I did before I started reading it, but within the first couple of pages I suddenly discovered that the theme that Gogol works with is a very common theme in a lot of modern comedies: the idea of the mistaken identity. This is similar to the idea that comes out of Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors (which is included in the book in which I read this particular play) however the mistaken identity does not come about because of identical twins, but rather because a visitor to a small town is mistaken for a high official who is believed to be on his way to audit the town's books.The play itself has been turned into a movie staring Danny Kaye (the video that I watched on Youtube has since been taken down):though there are a number of differences (both minor and major) between this film and the original play (view spoiler) One sort of wonders whether Gogol is actually being critical of the corrupt bureaucracy of the Russian Empire at the time (though it is interesting to note that even some of the most advanced states in the world are open to corruption, though sometimes the corruption is much more subtle). What we have is a bunch of corrupt officials who have effectively bought their way into office and by the strength of their wealth are able to remain entrenched in that position. However, they are then warned that an inspector general from St Petersburg is coming to perform an audit on the town's finances.This sends the council into a tailspin because, well, they know if the books are audited then they are going to get found out and are probably going to face the chopping block.
Obviously, it took some effort for Desmazes to get his shot of the cameraphone screen (and I must admit, the quality of the image is surprisingly sharp if it's a camera shot of a smartphone screen), but is that enough to get a separate copyright?And if we take this thought process to the logical conclusion, since Desmazes/AFP get to claim a copyright for taking a photo of a cameraphone screen, if I take a photo of my computer screen showing that same photo, and crop it appropriately, now I could claim to be the copyright holder on the same image? That seems like quite a slippery slope.

They go eat some grizzlies and polar bears and mountain lions, which I find hilarious because the cougar is the mascot of BYU. I see what you did there, Smeyers!Bella wants to die, as bad as Buffy when Angel kisses her. But somehow she doesn't keel over dead when her boyfriend is gone for a half-second and she's able to meet the newest doormat in her life, Jacob, a Lamanite . Er, not the people that once were white and because of iniquity were cursed to be brown, copper-flecked injuns of the Book of Mormon, but a Native American Indian filled with interesting lore and a hardon for our Heroick for whatever contrived reason that's not ever explained.

Domestic truck drivers are quick to complain (and rightly so) if foreign truck drivers are working to different standards.And then, with a plethora of standards, enforcement becomes near-impossible, as vehicle inspectors are required to have a working familiarity with many different codes.In this context, we are not dealing with mad regulators, creating rules for the sake of it. The rules save lives, reduce "red tape" and facilitate international trade. They are a hard-won asset and a properly constructed body of international law is something to be valued – not, as some would aver , to be removed as quickly as possible.Therefore, few sensible people with dispute the need for international rules. And very often it makes no sense to have one set of rules for external trade and other for domestic application. Inevitably, there is a natural progression towards regulatory convergence over a wide range of non-contentious issues.No one, for instance, is going to man the barricades because of an international requirement for all stop lights on vehicles to be red, or for battery sizes to be standardised, so that the same battery type will fit your camera, whether bought in London, New York or Tokyo.What actually matters, therefore, is not the fact that rules but be agreed, but thethey are agreed – and the nature of the organisations that produce the rule. In short, this is the age-old battle, to which Booker and I referred , as between supranationalism and intergovernmentalism.In the former, espoused by the EU, individual member states can be over-ruled under majority voting – thus over-riding the sovereignty of the members. In the latter, progress can only be made through consensus, and any one member state can opt out of provisions they do not accept.The difference is more than adequately summed up in the short history of the 56-member United Nations Economic Commission Europe (UNECE), tells us of the early days of the Commission and the rules set by its first Executive Secretary, Gunnar Myrdal – previously Swedish Minister of Trade:It is this latter founding rule that defines the essence of an intergovernmental organisation, and is the very antithesis of the regime set up by Jean Monnet, in establishing what has become the EU.Here, there is also another crucial difference. A key feature of the EU is that the Commission holds the monopoly of proposal, so that only it can propose new laws.

The sheriff called us later that day to inform us that Aunt Sicily had passed away. He gave Emily his condolences. Emily spent the rest of the day on the phone making arrangements. As it turned out, Sicily had prepared for everything in advance, so there was little to do. She had requested and prepaid for a cremation, asking only that her ashes be spread on her land and naming my wife as her sole heir.“We should go out there,” I told her that night. I could tell she was hesitant, but I felt it was important.“They can mail anything that I need to sign,” she said. “Besides, she explicitly said that she didn't want a memorial, so there's no point.”I spent the next day doing my best to convince her. I told her she'd regret not going, she was family and was nice enough to leave the land to us. She finally relented and we left the next morning. We didn't know where we would stay, so we packed our camping gear and food as a precaution.That afternoon, after a few wrong turns, we pulled off at a gas station to ask for directions. Inside the mini-mart, we found the Sheriff who had stopped in for a cup of coffee. He said he was glad someone came out for Sicily, it was a shame the way she lived alone like that. He gave us directions, pointing out the landmarks to look for as most of the roads were unmarked.On our way out, he pulled me aside and gave me a pained look.“You're not planning on seeing her, are you?” He asked, doing his vest to avoid making eye contact.“I don't think so, at least my wife didn't say anything about that,” I answered.“Well, this isn't something I'd bring up in front of a lady, but she was there for a while before we found her. She was just so remote.” He stammered. “Look,” he finally said, “I don't want to upset you, but something had gotten to her body before we did . . . probably rodents- well, she was chewed up pretty good.”He leaned in close and whispered “They got her eyes. It's best that you don't see her like that.”I was speechless. I nodded to the Sheriff and wandered to the car in a daze. It was only a short drive to Sicily's home, but we never would have found it by ourselves.

Atlantean has a very strict subject–object–verb word order, with no deviations from this pattern attested. Adjectives and nouns in the genitive case follow the nouns they modify, adpositions appear only in the form of postpositions, and modal verbs follow the verbs that they modify and subsequently take all personal and aspectual suffixes. However, adverbs precede verbs. The language includes the use of an interrogative particle to form questions with no variation in word order. [1] Some sentences appear to employ some kind of particles sometimes termed "sentence connectors". These particles are of obscure meaning but are theorized to relate two clauses in a logical yet idiomatic manner. [1] The exact meaning and usage of these particles is not known, but without them sentences are difficult to reconcile with their translations. Example: Wiltem neb gamosetot deg duweren tirid. city- ACC DEM see- PRES - 3RD.SG PART outsider- PL all. No outsiders may see the city and live. But literally: "He sees the city PARTICLE all outsiders." In the example above there is no actual mention of the consequences for outsiders, yet the subtitle in the movie translates it as a warning even without any mention of living or dying. A possibility exists that, in order to match the lip movement of the characters in the movie and the time of the dialogue, the language had to be shortened, often leaving out key parts of the sentence. It is known that the Atlantean lines in the movie were ad-libbed afterwards. Another example: Tab.top, lud.en neb.et kwam gesu bog.e.kem deg yasek.en gesu.go.ntoh. father- VOC , person- PL DEM - PL NEG help be.able- PRES - 1ST.SG PART noble- PL Father, these people may be able to help us. But literally: "Oh Father, we cannot help these people PARTICLE they will help the nobles. "[1] In this example the sentences seem to be better connected, and the particle is rendered as almost "but, yet". It is difficult to reconcile the two, however. Nouns Edit Atlantean has seven cases for nouns, only five for pronouns, and two numbers. Grammatical cases Edit Grammatical Cases Name Suffix Example English Gloss Nominative no suffix yob the crystal (subject). Accusative -tem yobtem the crystal (object). Genitive -ag yobag of the crystal Vocative -top Yobtop O Crystal!

Like others with access to classified information, she signed a nondisclosure acknowledging that that this information could include “unmarked” documents and “oral communications.” At least one email finds her instructing a subordinate to remove classified markings and send a document to her via the nonsecure channel (though it is publicly unknown whether the subordinate complied). She is obviously responsible for any foreseeable wrongs committed by her subordinates using a system she set up. And she transferred the classified information on the servers to a private maintenance company and to lawyers not authorized to have it.
In mid-2008, Brown's leadership was presented with a challenge as some MPs openly called for him to resign. This event was dubbed the 'Lancashire Plot', as two backbenchers from (pre-1974) Lancashire urged him to step down and a third questioned his chances of holding on to the Labour Party leadership. Several MPs argued that if Brown did not recover in the polls by early 2009, he should call for a leadership contest. However, certain prominent MPs, such as Jacqui Smith and Bill Rammell, suggested that Brown was the right person to lead Britain through its economic crisis. [108] In the Autumn, Siobhain McDonagh, a MP and junior government whip, who during her time in office had never voted against the government,[109] spoke of the need for discussion over Brown's position. McDonagh was sacked from her role shortly afterwards, on 12 September. Whilst McDonagh did not state that she wanted Brown deposed, she implored the Labour party to hold a leadership election, she was sacked from her role shortly afterwards. [110] McDonagh was supported by Joan Ryan (who applied, as McDonagh had, for leadership nomination papers, and became the second rebel to be fired from her job), Jim Dowd, Greg Pope, and a string of others who had previously held positions in government, made clear their desire for a contest. [111] In the face of this speculation over Brown's future, his ministers backed him to lead the party, and Harriet Harman and David Miliband denied that they were preparing leadership bids. After Labour lost the Glasgow East by-election in July, Harman, the deputy leader of the party, said that Brown was the "solution", not the "problem"; Home Secretary Smith, Justice Secretary Jack Straw, Schools Secretary Ed Balls and Cabinet Office Minister Ed Miliband all re-affirmed their support for Brown. [112] The deputy Prime Minister under Blair, John Prescott, also pledged his support. [113] Foreign Secretary David Miliband then denied that he was plotting a leadership bid, when on 30 July, an article written by him in The Guardian was interpreted by a large number in the media as an attempt to undermine Brown. In the article, Miliband outlined the party's future, but neglected to mention the Prime Minister. Miliband, responded to this by saying that he was confident Brown could lead Labour to victory in the next general election, and that his article was an attack against the fatalism in the party since the loss of Glasgow-East.
At the same time, the employment of Swahili Rap represents an attempt to negotiate the authentic gangster projection with more traditional and local Tanzanian musical forms. Between the prominent mainstream US hip hop image of gangster rappers and increased radio and television airplay for groups from South Africa, Europe and the Congo region[clarification needed] who project that image, Tanzanian rappers are heavily swayed toward a more raw style. [12] While this borrowing of the authentic gangster image as represented outside of Tanzania can be interpreted as an appropriation for localizing purposes, it can also be viewed as mimicry. Since authentic gangster rap is commercially viable, Tanzanian artists are torn between the possibilities it presents and the negative attention it may gain them. Indeed, those who do imitate Western gangster rap are often isolated and derided for being gangster wannabes. [12] Thus, the use of the Swahili language in Tanzanian rap helps take ideas from a larger hip hop discourse and incorporate them into the local context of that African rap culture. It makes sense then that those most dependent on the more marketable hardcore rap generally come from the impoverished regions of Tanzania, like Dar Es Salaam, where any chance at success may be more important than the worry of abandoning national pride in exuding a culturally ambivalent image. One of the paramount rap topics in this issue of balance is the objectification of women, which while it may be more marketable than less explicit forms, stands in contention with the Islamic ideals that many Tanzanians embrace. Still though, crude styles tend to appeal to the urban youth of Tanzania, as exemplified by the rap group LWP Majitu who, according to Out Here Records, "are popular for their hardcore hard hitting lyrics. "[13] Whether in the poorer parts of Tanzania or the more privileged, it is crucial for rap artists to maintain a healthy balance between the traditional and the original, the local and the global.
In a collaborative process, additional Panel members, including members of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO), with specific expertise in this area were then nominated and approved by the PGC. The AUA conducted a thorough peer review process. The draft guideline document was distributed to peer reviewers. The Panel reviewed and discussed all submitted comments and revised the draft as needed. Once finalized, the guideline was submitted for approval to the PGC and Science and Quality Council (S&Q). Then it was submitted to the AUA, ASTRO, and SUO Board of Directors for final approval. Panel members received no remuneration for their work.
Some remembered hearing the rustle of dry grasses or the sounds of insects, others detected the distinct scent of smoke or wet earth. Subjects were unable to reconcile certain remembered details with prior memories or experiences. For example, while in contact with SCP-1896, one subject claimed to hear “katydids”; however, after completing the test, she could not recall hearing the sound of "katydids" (or even the word, a colloquial name for Tettigoniids) prior to the experiment. Test 3 (45min-1hr) Procedure: (as described in Test 1) The first 35 minutes of the test proceed as previously described. After the 40 minute mark, however, subjects grow unresponsive to the point of appearing catatonic. The arc of SCP-1896's movement increases significantly. Regardless of this increase in speed and motion, none of the subjects appear to be in danger of falling. After 50-55 minutes, the object's measured back-and-forth motion gives way to erratic, slowing spirals. The motion continues to slow until the predetermined hour is passed, sometimes ceasing altogether. Despite the increase and decrease in motion, subjects remain unmoving and insensible until a second party makes physical contact with SCP-1896. At this point, some subjects fall forward and others startle, as if waking from sleep. Results: As suggested by the results of Test 2, the longer contact with SCP-1896 was prolonged the more vivid the subjects' sensory experiences grew. In every case, recollected sounds and smells gave way to waking-dreams of swinging under a tree in a wide field. Subjects described a similar setting with different details: six of ten subjects recalled the sight and smell of burned grass, five subjects felt and saw bright sunlight, and two remembered a damp heat and glimpses of thunderheads. One detail was consistent in all ten tests: at an unspecified point after the 40 minute mark, subjects claimed to have heard a voice calling out to someone. Some described the voice as a child's, others as a woman or man's— but all ten reported a similar reaction. The following excerpt from the post-test interview with D-8526 typifies the subjects' descriptions of this encounter: D-8526: Yeah, I recognized her voice right away. I'm positive it was a woman's voice, but deeper than mine, you know?— Maybe older. It was the same woman who was laughing, before, but now she was calling someone. [researcher questions, subject appears perplexed] No. I can't really remember what she was saying.
In 2010, at the high point of the Obama backlash that drove the Tea Party and swept Republicans into office up and down the ballot, Rick Scott barely defeated Alex Sink, the state’s chief financial officer, 49 percent to 48 percent, to become governor. The fight to succeed Crist was an ugly, expensive battle between two little-loved candidates. Scott, a multimillionaire former hospital executive, was best known for the $1.7 billion fine his former company, Columbia/HCA, had paid to the Justice Department to settle charges of Medicare and Medicaid fraud during his tenure in the late 1990s—at the time, the largest healthcare-fraud case in history. Scott’s campaign spent $85 million on the race, including $73 million of Scott’s personal fortune; Sink’s spent $18 million. (This week, Sink lost again, this time as the Democratic nominee for a vacant congressional seat in a special election.) Skull-faced and terminally awkward, Scott has been nicknamed Voldemort by his detractors. At the New Birth Baptist Church, an African-American megachurch in a part of town marked by barred windows and Caribbean restaurants, Crist is meeting with Bishop Victor T. Curry, a major power broker in the black community, who is telling him how to avoid Sink’s mistakes. In particular, Curry believes Sink’s poor outreach to the black community helped doom her campaign. So absent was she that Curry’s assistant once gave him a message reading, “Alex Sink called, he wants to speak with you.” Sink turned down invitations to speak to Curry’s congregation and to go on his radio show. Curry’s pitch is self-serving: Among other things, he wants Crist’s campaign to advertise on the gospel radio station he owns, which is struggling to stay afloat financially. “We’re going to do that,” Crist says. “A lot.” “Don’t take us for granted,” Curry says. “I want to vote for you. I don’t just want to vote against Rick Scott.” Crist’s liberalizations of the voting process, from expanding early voting to re-enfranchising felons, give him credibility with Curry, who has led the charge for voting reforms. “Other than his gender,” says Florida GOP strategist Ana Navarro, “the guy has flip-flopped on everything, and I don’t put that past him either.” On the way to the sanctuary—a vast, purple-draped space that seats 2,000—Crist encounters a wiry black man with a big gray beard and missing teeth. With his baseball cap and short-sleeved orange shirt with his name stitched on the breast, he looks like a janitor.
I lost respect for Eliot Spitzer when he didn’t sue Roger Stone for doing that to his father, who is a wonderful man.” The brouhaha over the phone call did little to faze Stone. Some weeks later, he was approached by a pair of F.B.I. agents who may have been in the early stages of an investigation of Spitzer. (Stone says that he doesn’t know why the F.B.I. sought him out.) Stone declined to speak with them, but on November 19, 2007, Stone’s attorney wrote to the agents and recounted the story that the woman had told him at Miami Velvet, including the part about the socks. (“Perhaps you can use this detail to corroborate Mr. Stone’s information,” the letter states.) Four months later, Spitzer resigned, after it was revealed that he was a client of the Emperors Club V.I.P., a prostitution ring. In Stone’s mind, this turn of events suggests that he may have played a key role in forcing Spitzer out of office. (He takes satisfaction in noting that a recent New York Post report about another prostitute allegedly patronized by Spitzer corroborated the claim that he preferred to wear his socks during sex.) But, as is usually the case with Stone, there is ample reason for skepticism. The F.B.I. declined to comment, but it appears that the bureau was investigating Spitzer because of suspicious money transfers, including some that ultimately went to the Emperors Club; Stone’s significance, if any, in that case is hard to assess. Moreover, Roger Portella, the manager of Miami Velvet, told me that his records showed that until our visit earlier this year Stone had not been in the club since 2005. When I asked Stone about this, he said that on the occasion of his conversation with the off-duty prostitute he had come with another Miami Velvet member, and thus did not give his name. “Whether it started with Stone, or he contributed to an ongoing investigation, we have no idea,” a member of the Spitzer camp told me. “There is a lot of crazy stuff around the edges of this case. Stone is one part.” In any event, in the months leading up to Spitzer’s surprise resignation, Stone did offer his friends cryptic hints of what might be coming. “Roger guaranteed me that Spitzer wouldn’t last,” Douglas Schoen said.
Microsynteny was also observed for the NP-like genes of cricetid rodents (Fig. 6). The oldest case of microsynteny involved inserts in the same intergenic region between the gliomedin and cytochrome P450 19A1-like loci shared by rodents of the following genera: Microtus, Mesocricetus, and Cricetulus. Hamsters of the genera Cricetulus and Mesocricetus had very high similarity of flanking sequences (Fig. 6) indicating a shared insert site. The insert in the vole genome was just under 10 kbp from the hamster insert site. Possible causes of the differing insert location could be a modest rearrangement, an assembly artifact, an independent insert in the same intergenic region, or tandem duplication followed by loss of the original insert. We sequenced across the putative insert boundary using DNA from the meadow vole (M. pennsylvanicus) as a template to assess the assembly. The assembly and location of the insert was verified by the sequence, which had at least 91% nucleotide sequence identity with the assembly of the pairie vole (M. ochrogaster). We then compared the pairwise sequence divergences of putatively orthologous NERVEs, under the expectation that orthologous NERVEs would evolve at a similar or slower rate than the background intron or intergenic region of their insertion. The NP-like insert of the vole evolved at about twice the rates of the intronic, intergenic and other NERVE comparisons, suggesting that the vole insert may not be orthologous to the hamster insert (Fig. 7). A dotplot comparison of this sequence revealed no evidence for recombination. We conclude that there is strong evidence for the orthology of NP-like inserts for hamsters of the genera Cricetulus and Mesocricetus in the intergenic region between gliomedin and cytochrome P450 19A1-like loci. However, the NP-like insert of the vole may be an independent insert or a paralog. If true, then gene order evidence alone for mammals may be too crude a measure to evaluate orthology for NERVEs.
COACH AND HORSES The large building on the corner of Chiswick High Road and Netheravon Road, which is now empty and the subject of a planning application, was once the Coach and Horses pub. It was licensed by 1761 and described as a `humble roadside inn’ frequented by market carts on their way to London. The `humble’ inn was demolished in 1900 and replaced by a `palatial building’ which, in 1972 when it had become a Schooner Inn, had a stream running around the main bar. The pub’s `inn sign’ was a full scale model of a coach on the first floor balcony. In 1992 the pub was converted into Jo Smo’s Bar and Diner, then Nacho’s Mexican restaurant, then, until 2007, Est,Est, Est. CROWN INN A large pub at the Gunnersbury end of Chiswick High Road, licensed by at least 1751 and rebuilt in the 1920s. It was demolished in 1957 to make way for the enlargement of Chiswick Roundabout. THE EMPEROR Originally at 232 Chiswick High Road, the Emperor first appears in a street directory of 1888. In c.1961 Marks and Spencer acquired the premises for an extension and the pub moved to Nos 304-6. It closed in the 1990s. THE FEATHERS This pub in Hogarth Lane was licensed by at least 1722 and belonged to Sich & Co of the Lamb Brewery in Church Street. Rebuilt during the Victorian era, the pub was demolished in the late 1950s to make way for the A4 and the Hogarth Roundabout. It was replaced with a pub of the same name on the north side of the roundabout in 1960. This, in turn, has been demolished. THE GARDENERS ARMS It stood on what is now the south-west corner of Chiswick Roundabout and first appears in a directory of 1888 when it belonged to Brentford's Royal Brewery. It was demolished in 1957 when Chiswick Roundabout was enlarged. THE INDIAN QUEEN The office building called the Pier House (formerly the Pier House Laundry) in Thames Road is on the site of a little pub called the Indian Queen which stood in a large square near Spring Grove. Licensed by at least 1759, it might have been named in honour of Pocohantas who lived for a short time in Brentford. LAMB TAP The building known as Lamb Cottage in Church Street was a pub initially called the Lamb from at least 1732 to 1909.
Developments connected with companies like Real3D can be seen as seminal in the historical evolution of the Post-Cold War effort to create a seamless environment in which research work carried out for the high-end military projects can be integrated with systems in the commercial sector. In 1993, GE Aerospace was acquired by Martin Marietta, another leader in the field of visual simulation. Martin Marietta not only advocated expansion of the relationship with Sega, but also encouraged further research and analysis to look at other commercial markets, such as personal computers and graphics workstations. In 1995, Martin Marietta merged with Lockheed Corporation to form Lockheed Martin, and shortly thereafter launched Real 3D to focus solely on developing and producing 3D graphics products for commercial markets. To that end in November 1996 a strategic alliance was formed between Real3D and Chips and Technologies, Inc. of San Jose, CA, aimed at selling and distributing Real 3D®'s R3D/100 two-chip graphics accelerator exclusively to the PC industry, and bringing world class 3D applications in the PC environment to professionals who use 3D graphics acceleration on Windows® NT machines. [44] Finally, in December 1997, Lockheed Martin established Real 3D, Inc. as an independent company and at the same time announced Intel had purchased a 20 percent stake in the firm. Real 3D thus builds on more than three decades of experience in real-time 3D graphics hardware and software going back to the Apollo Visual Docking Simulator, experience in a variety of projects related to construction of real-time distributed simulations, and its considerable intellectual property, consisting of more than 40 key patents on 3-D graphics hardware and software. These assets, together with its strategic relationships to Lockheed Martin, Intel, and Chips, positions the company well for getting high-end graphics from leading edge research environments onto the desktops of physicians, engineers, and scientists. The company profits from its role as a supplier of commercial videogame technologies developed by companies like Sega to the research community developing military training simulators.
A month or two ago, my band was contacted by Bob Archigan of La Bella strings asking us to take a look at their new 'Uke-Pro' series for ukulele. A bundle of sets duly arrived and we have been playing them for a little while now.The Uke-Pro strings we are testing are the No.100 grade, and form part of a range of La Bella products for uke. The 100 grade are made for concert and tenor ukes, and also in the Uke Pro series is the No.200 pack which is made for soprano. La Bella have a very respected name in strings for classical guitar so we were keen to take a look.On opening the pack, the colour is the first thing that stands out. In the uke string world, the vast majority of strings are black or clear / white. In the clear / white camp, the usual way to identify a white string is 'it's probably by Aquila'. These La Bella strings though fall in between clear and white. They are slightly translucent, but not anywhere near is solid white as Aquilas, yet certainly not totally clear like Worths (am I making any sense?). I fitted my set to a Pono Tenor ukulele, and also went with the extra wound low G string (and that is unusual for me but read on). The low G is an extra purchase and comes as a single string.So off went the old and on with the La Bellas. Initial observations were that they settled down far quicker than most other strings I have used (and in fact stayed that way). Quite remarkable. I'm not saying they didn't need some re-tuning, but the process was certainly quicker.The feel of the strings also falls in that halfway house between Aquilas and other flourocarbons in that they have a kind of semi rough quality. Not glossy and slippy at all. Actually that rough feel is one of the things I don't like about Aquila strings, but these are not to bad on the fingers at all. Incidentally, the packaging doesn't say whether these are nylon or fluorocarbon so that remains a bit of a mystery to me.And what about that low G string? Well I do regularly play low G on my tenor ukes, but only ever play unwound low G strings.
“It has to be the youth that we affect, that we teach to do things the right way. They have to know. They have to be better.” Mahlalela lets Ujiri’s words hang in the air for a few moments before stepping in and starting the warm-up. Lines of campers criss-cross the court, and Mahlalela tells the players to high-five each other as they pass. He runs alongside them, clapping and shouting encouragement. “Let’s blow the roof off this place!” he yells, seeming to mean it literally. The kids holler back to Mahlalela, reflecting his energy. Though there are some 19- and 20-year-olds in the mix, GOA’s interest in developing younger players skews the camp’s roster toward 14, 15 and 16. Despite those fresh faces, they’re big—not necessarily filled out, but tall and long-limbed with hands laid out in the same proportions as the paws on a months-old German Shepherd. Even among the players who only picked up the sport in the past two years, most of the boys have solid experience on school and academy teams, and the games that close out day two are played with an impressive blend of control and creativity. Hassan Abdullahi is a veteran not just of camps like GOA, but of GOA itself, first spotted by Akuboh in an academy tournament in his hometown of Kaduna in northern Nigeria. Last year, he was second runner-up for the camp’s MVP award, and the strength of that performance landed him a spot in the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program, which in late July brought 100 of the best under-18 players from across the continent to South Africa. Abdullahi turned 17 the day he landed in Johannesburg, where San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich took a strong liking to him. Abdullahi is luckier than many African players because there’s a court on the housing estate where he lives with his father. When he was small, his dad would take him to watch games there every evening. Eventually, he developed an interest of his own and started going alone. Most of the facilities in Kaduna are half courts. “Some are shaky, some are slanty,” he says. All, like the hardtop at the estate, are outdoors. He says it was difficult for him to adjust to playing inside, but in the games at GOA, he looks to have managed just fine.
c‐tDCS and CSE Overall, with respect to the second aim of the study, we found a significant decrease in CSE with c‐tDCS using both raw and normalized data. Moreover, the results showed a significant decrease in CSE from baseline in the placebo arm. A possible explanation for this effect is that c‐tDCS hyperpolarizes the neuronal membrane, which decreases neuronal function (Batsikadze et al., 2013). The results also highlighted that c‐tDCS intensities of ≤1 mA with duration ≤15 min produce larger effects than >1 mA and ≤15 min. Moreover, the effect sizes with ≤1 mA with >15 min and >1 mA with>15 min were not significant. Recent evidence suggests that the opposing directions of plasticity with c‐tDCS are no longer warranted with higher intensities for longer durations (e.g. 2 mA for 20 min) (Batsikadze et al., 2013). Importantly, other studies applying different plasticity‐inducing stimulation have shown a nonlinear association between stimulation intensities and the direction of effects (Doeltgen & Ridding, 2010; Moliadze et al., 2012). However, the current meta‐analysis shows a non‐significant effect with higher intensities and longer durations, and a significant effect with lower intensities and longer durations. This does not fully support the findings of individual studies. The possible reversed effects of c‐tDCS with higher intensities for longer durations could be due to the dependency of the direction of plasticity on the amount of neuronal calcium influx resulting from the respective stimulation protocol (Batsikadze et al., 2013). Thus, c‐tDCS with higher intensities and longer durations might increase calcium to a level that induces LTP‐like plasticity, whereas lower intensities and shorter duration result in lower calcium levels that can cause long‐term depression‐like plasticity (LTD) (Batsikadze et al., 2013). Another explanation for this reversed effect is that increasing intensity with c‐tDCS may induce de‐ and hyperpolarization via hyperpolarizing the soma and depolarizing dendrites. Increasing the intensity could increase the dendritic depolarization to a level which has an impact on neuronal excitability, or polarize structures with different neuronal orientation, to produce plasticity that differs from that at low intensities (Batsikadze et al., 2013). Modelling and imaging studies have found that current application by conventional tDCS can affect several non‐targeted brain regions and change the functional connectivity between them (Datta et al., 2009; Polan’ıa et al., 2011a,2011b). Accordingly, recruitment of other non‐targeted areas with higher intensities might change the direction of plasticity in the target regions (Batsikadze et al., 2013).
For all its utopian aspects, the Budapest Festival Orchestra is hardly a grassroots democracy. The organization is in thrall to Fischer’s intelligence, wit, and charisma, not to mention his comprehensive musicality. At one rehearsal, he picked up a cello in order to demonstrate to me differences between Baroque and contemporary string-playing techniques, and played with a clean, communicative tone. Although he avoids ranting in the manner of his legendary Hungarian predecessors—Solti earned the nickname the Screaming Skull—Fischer is ceaselessly verbose in rehearsal, firing off commands, questions, jokes, vocalizations of instrumental parts, and digressive anecdotes, in various languages. “Winds, a little bit stronger pressure here! . . . Shht, shht—no noise! . . . Dolce, piano. . . . There shall be no rushing in the cellos. . . . Now some people are dragging—the train has already left the station.” Still, members of the B.F.O. have more of a voice than their counterparts in other high-level orchestras. Fischer brushes aside maestro mystique, insisting that everyone address him as Iván. He circulates among the players before and after rehearsals, heeding their comments. The programming of the Cocoa Concerts—the series for children—is generated by the musicians. A group with a yen for the Baroque pursues projects on the side. Even while rehearsing a canonical work such as Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique,” players feel free to chime in. The unusual conductor-musician dynamic was apparent during the recording sessions for the “Pathétique.” When making a CD, Fischer works exclusively with C. Jared Sacks, the American-born, Netherlands-based proprietor of the Channel Classics label; together they have made more than twenty disks, covering such meat-and-potatoes repertory as Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, and Dvořák. Their recording of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, acutely characterful and expressive, is among the finest Mahler recordings ever made. After two and a half days of recording, the orchestra had arrived at the finale of the “Pathétique,” the great Adagio lamentoso. Fischer was favoring a restrained approach to the work, whose supercharged mood had helped generate the urban legend that Tchaikovsky committed suicide. (The composer died of cholera.) “The dosage of emotion is already very high,” Fischer told me, riding the elevator down to a basement studio where he would listen to playbacks. “There is no need for an overdose.” One effect caught my ear: in the bars leading up to the lushly lyrical second theme of the first movement, Fischer asked for a pristine, precisely tuned sound from the strings, with little vibrato.
Mr. Simonson: When I was a kid, younger than you, a little older, one of my favorite comics was Walt Disney Comics and Stories. They had a Donald Duck story in the beginning, two or three, two short stories, and then a Mickey Mouse story. I loved them all, but I really loved the Donald Duck stories. It turns out that they were written and drawn by a man named Carl Barks, whom I knew nothing about at the time. But I loved his work, and you could really tell it. At the time, he was known as the “Good Duck Man” because nobody knew his real name, and so we all…but you could recognize his style. Somebody else drew Donald Duck, you knew it wasn’t this guy. And he was also a brilliant writer. He invented Uncle Scrooge, he invented Gyro Gearloose. He began writing and drawing quarterly comics of Uncle Scrooge and the giant adventures. So I loved his work, still one of my very favorite guys ever to do comic books. And when I write a comic, I have ideas, and I jot them down, well, now I use a computer, but I’ll write them down, and I’ll say, “oh, it would be kind of cool to have Thor do this. Cool to have Thor do this, or whatever it is.” And I had an idea. I said, “I’d love to do a story as a tribute to Carl Barks.” So, I was somewhere in the middle of Thor when I suddenly said “Oh! I’m in a place where I could do something like that.” And my initial idea was to turn Thor into a duck! But the thing about that they already had Howard the Duck and there was already Donald Duck (other companies) and there were other things. So I said “that won’t work.” And then I thought in fairy tales the handsome prince almost always turned into a frog. And so I thought a frog would be a good idea and that’s were that idea – it really became as a tribute to some of my very favorite comics and one of my very favorite creators.

Unlike the LG G Flex 2, which throttles back to just six cores at higher temperatures, no amount of cooling will persuade the Z3+ to enable all eight cores as standard. We tried leaving it idle. We even tried chilling it in a refrigerator. Unlike other Snapdragon 810 phones we've tested, the default operating mode for this device seems to be four A53s plus two A57s. With further testing we discovered that only certain apps and tasks will reliably cause all of the A57 cores to fire up at once, allowing full octa-core performance. These included the Sony camera app, but not third-party cameras, installing (and compiling) apps from the Play Store, and certain tests in benchmark apps like Geekbench, Quadrant and Antutu. This is more of an 'up to' eight-core phone. All this leaves us asking: "when is an octa-core phone not really octa-core?" It's true that most Android apps don't need anywhere near the full performance of a Snapdragon 810. It's also true that all CPUs throttle back performance in some way to conserve power. But disabling two out of eight cores as standard seems extreme, especially considering the very limited situations in which all four A57s are allowed to activate. We're not saying the Xperia Z3+ feels like a slow phone — far from it. We only noticed very minor performance hitches in our time with the device — for example, a very brief delay in opening the app switcher, or a few missed frames when pulling down the notification shade. This is still a fast, responsive handset, but direct readings from Qualcomm's own Trepn profiling app (among others) don't lie — only rarely does the Z3+ operate in octa-core mode. The benefits of limiting the chip in this way are pretty obvious — less power consumption and heat, due to only half of the high-power cores being active most of the time. That in turn is likely to have a positive impact on battery life, which we'll get to later in this review. Sony provided Android Central with the following statement on the Z3+'s CPU core management:

Throughout this specification and the appended claims, the term “quantum processor” is used to generally describe a collection of physical qubits (e.g., qubits 101 and 102) and couplers (e.g., coupler 111). The physical qubits 101 and 102 and the couplers 111 are referred to as the “programmable elements” of the quantum processor 100 and their corresponding parameters (e.g., the qubit h i values and the coupler J ij values) are referred to as the “programmable parameters” of the quantum processor. In the context of a quantum processor, the term “programming subsystem” is used to generally describe the interfaces (e.g., “programming interfaces” 122, 123, and 125) used to apply the programmable parameters (e.g., the h i and J ij terms) to the programmable elements of the quantum processor 100 and other associated control circuitry and/or instructions. As previously described, the programming interfaces of the programming subsystem may communicate with other subsystems which may be separate from the quantum processor or may be included locally on the processor. As described in more detail later, the programming subsystem may be configured to map candidate investments to the qubits of the quantum processor such that each candidate investment corresponds to at least one qubit in the quantum processor, and to map correlations between respective pairs of the candidate investments to the coupling devices of the quantum processor such that each correlation corresponds to at least one coupling device in the quantum processor. As illustrated in FIG. 1, programming interfaces 122, 123, and 125 of the programming subsystem of quantum processor 100 may be communicatively coupled, via communication conduits 151 and 152, to an investment portfolio optimization module 150. At least a respective portion of each of communication conduits 151 and 152 may be included “on-chip” (e.g., as superconducting lines or traces) in quantum processor 100. Exemplary characteristics of investment portfolio optimization module 150 are discussed in detail later. Similarly, in the context of a quantum processor, the term “evolution subsystem” is used to generally describe the interfaces (e.g., “evolution interfaces” 121 and 124) used to evolve the programmable elements of the quantum processor 100 and other associated control circuitry and/or instructions. For example, the evolution subsystem may include annealing signal lines and their corresponding interfaces (121, 124) to the qubits (101, 102).
I don't know if I'm being realistic or cynical in that expectation. I suppose I see no reason why those would be mutually exclusive either though, so, that said, there's that for that; my opinion. I think it would be neat to see a deeper involvement between the MC and the NPC's that are supposed to be at least potentially important to them. Almost all of the interactions our characters have with even romanceable companions are a handful of soundbites.All in all, compared to the elaborative conversation trees you can have with companions in the likes of Dragon Age 1 or even 2, what we have here in SWTOR feels, at least to me, like RPG Lite-mode, heavy on apologetic brevity lest anyone with a 5 second attention span be reduced to a vein-throbbing "Why my doodz alwayz talk so much W T F!?! ".That is, at least, the impression I'm recurringly and strongly given. The Jedi Knight opening area of Tython, for example, and your new Knight's involvement with your new master from there and beyond; all I can ask is, what involvement?Spoiler tagged bits for those that haven't played the Jedi Knight arc and don't want spoilers.Almost everything of substance in developing a lot of these characters, romanceable and otherwise, is left off-screen, implied and largely handwaved. What we're presented with and given to see are only the obligatory indicators that persons A, B, C and D are supposed to be important because of reasons.Now, I can see a possible reason for why it was done this way. It could well be that a lot of that was left off-screen (and I'm not just talking about romance-oriented affairs here. Minds out of the gutter!) as an invitation to the player to fill in their own blanks however they like with the bare framings presented while, at the same time, not forcing more than 5-20 second soundbites on those that would prefer to be playing Spreadsheet Wars: The Other Raidgame and get a neurotic twitch nearabouts the corners of their eyes if anything not optimally conducive to improving their gear is thrust upon them.I imagine that the devs have good cause to try to not alienate anybody no matter their playstyle (within reason) and I can well see how deep, winding and elaborate character interactions could exasperate some.However...that's still fairly well the tone they've set, in my regard of SWTOR.
The WM and MoP are unfortunately very similar in their 'development', as both start off with good intentions (saving kryta from the charr when the royal family turned tail and run/cleaning up the afflicted) then start having bad leadership, and you have to stop them in the end. They both utilize brainwashing to different degrees, and they both have the general competence of a saturday cartoon monster of the week (which is not too much), or more precisely the IQ of a chair. The only improvement in WoC is that unlike in WiK, where the white mantle default to bad/veryverybad for no apparent reason other than Izzy being in charge (a fact which I find ironic), and the shining blade default to verygood. Never mind that the mantle had no problems with Salma living her life as a priestess... In WoC the am fah and JB, while being generic street villains, slowly become protagonists of the story, and this means in John's book that they deserve characterization, and just after many have slaughtered hundreds of mantle because they were forced to if they wanted the 'gon hero, they (the players) get a slap on the face for going through the fucking railroad War in Kryta storyline is. Nevermind the fact that WiK gameplay is horrible and full of trial-and-error/tomato surprise encounters, and WoC is already infamous for the huge mess that is/was Minister Cho's Estate. And no, Jette. I don't reason with chaos. I kill them at every doorstep. Because I am the Scythe, the bringer of Salvation! And I shall cut down the unbelievers.

couldnt get another jam on the drake i was so close.. Oriaven Enaka - Today at 4:14 AM It is all good, thank you for your service.
But this bill has a "split personality," because it also calls upon the law clinics "to represent low-income individuals before state and local governmental agencies in order to insure compliance with government laws and regulations." That's exactly what clinics do right now, but how can clinics continue this worthy work if SB 549 passes? Clinic students and their supervisors would have both hands tied behind their backs. SB 549 impairs the professional relationship between lawyer and client by creating a "lawyer-client-legislator" relationship. If SB 549 passes, clinics would be subject to oversight by both House and Senate Commerce Committees. No other lawyer or law firm anywhere in the country practices under such constraints. SB 549 puts at risk all four Louisiana law schools' national accreditation by the American Bar Association and Association of American Law Schools. SB 549 even challenges the Louisiana Supreme Court's exclusive jurisdiction over the practice of law. And the damage doesn't stop at the doorstep of law schools, because SB 549 doesn't only target law school clinics. Astoundingly, SB 549 takes direct aim at the budgets of all four universities. LSU, Loyola, Southern, and Tulane would immediately forfeit "all state funding to the university" if "a violation" takes place. SB 549 doesn't tell us who determines whether "a violation" has taken place. Law school clinics balance the scales of justice. A recent New York Times editorial entitled, "First They Get Rid of the Law Clinics," said "powerful interests may not like that, but it is critically important work." And the editorial added, "Law school clinics often provide the only legal assistance available to poor people." SB 549 would put a big thumb on the scales of justice by depriving poor clients of the only lawyers many of them can afford: a free lawyer provided by the law clinics of LSU, Loyola, Southern or Tulane. We urge legislators to vote "Yes" for equal access to justice. Vote "No" on SB 549. Stephen Griffin, [email protected], is Interim Dean of Tulane Law School. Brian Bromberger, [email protected], is Dean of Loyola Law School.

"We'll be at IIT-Bombay on Thursday and look for students who are not necessarily the best academically but have the raw talent to take risks. Ola plans to offer an annual package of Rs 10-12 lakh this year. "The profiles we look for are not typically the ones a big consulting firm would pick," he added.Zomato hired students from IIT-Delhi and IIT-Bombay in the first two days of placement season this year at an annual remuneration of Rs 26 lakh. Founder & CEO Deepinder Goyal said his five-year-old venture went for pre-placement talks with students this year to understand what they were looking for while evaluating offers. "We had to give competitive salaries because by Days 5 and 6 the best talent is gone. That's how campus hiring works," he said. Zomato raised $37 million from Sequoia Capital and existing investor Infoedge valuing the Delhi-based startup at over $150 million (Rs 900 crore).One of the older startups Snapdeal hired 40 students from across IITs last year and its co-founder Kunal Bahl, a Wharton grad, said the e-commerce firm is looking to pick another 50 students this year. "For us the fit with the cultural and business needs are more important than the number we hire. The idea is to keep building a pipeline of future leaders who will bring new thoughts and abilities," Bhal said.This year at IIT-Kanpur, 18-20 startups are slotted for Week 1 and another 14 for the following week. At IIT-Madras, four startups have been slotted for the first week, with salaries in the range of Rs 8-11 lakh. By the end of Day 3, Flipkart had hired eight students. "Companies have been slotted on the basis of their salary packages and job profiles," said V Babu, advisor, training & placement at IIT-M. "It goes to show that these startups have graduated," said a member of the placement team at IIT-Kharagpur, which has also been playing host to a bevy of startups.
This just slides into place and it is held down with two large body pins. The battery bay on the G6-01 is large and rectangular so it will easily accommodate hardcase lipo packs.The chassis is very nearly finished and we just need to add the wheels. The tyres are hard wearing but they still feel squishy and soft. The chevron pattern works well at providing grip on a wide range of surfaces.The cool looking wheel hubs use a 12mm hex fitting all around, so you need to fit the hex's to the axles. I use a small bit of AW grease to hold the pins in position before I push on the deep 9mm plastic wheel hexes.With the wheels fitted you just need to choose one of the two included bumpers to mount on the chassis. I went with the large bumper as the Konghead was going to get bashed around the local park and BMX track so I wanted to protect the shell.The chassis is now finished, it looks fantastic sitting on the workbench.It feels very sturdy and I am really excited about driving it, but before that we have the shell to build.As you would expect from Tamiya everything went together really easilyThe Chassis looks so different to anything I've seen before. Whilst the chassis is fascinating to look at, it is time to move onto the distinctive bodyshell.The shell itself is made from strong, lightweight polycarbonate, There is a lot of detail and the quality is superb. I was keen to build this truck in the box-art so I just needed 3 different paintsIt was quite a big task to mask the shell, however I am quite pedantic about getting the body looking good. After painting the shell I then mounted the decals and added the chrome plated body parts. I couldn't stop grinning when the shell was mounted on the chassis. The final result was really striking and it had that classic Tamiya vibe to it.I installed a Tamiya TBLE-02S esc into the Konghead, added a charged battery and gave the 4WS a quick wiggle. I couldn't wait to thrash this quirky 6WD truck outside, and I didn't have long to wait.For once we were blessed with a very hot summers day hitting 30 deg C! Ideal to put the Konghead through its paces on a disused dusty BMX track.

NO is a signaling molecule with myriad physiological functions throughout the body. Important with regard to high-altitude adaptation, this gene is responsible for the production of NO, formerly known as endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), in endothelial and other cell types [51]. NO, in combination with a cascade of additional circulating substances prompts arterial smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation and increased blood flow [52]. Erzurum et al. [51] have shown that NO production is increased in Tibetans resident at 4,200 m compared to sea-level controls. Moore and co-workers have shown that increased blood flow to the uteroplacental circulation is an especially important factor in protecting Tibetan as well as Andean high-altitude residents from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth [52]–[54]. On balance, these studies suggest that vascular factors, not simply hematological or ventilatory systems, are critical for altitude adaptation in Tibetan and Andean populations. Here, we show preliminary evidence of positive selection in NOS2A in the Andean population, but do not show compelling evidence of positive selection in Tibetans. Both PRKAA1 and NOS2A were identified in a previous study as selection-nominated candidate genes in Andeans using a subset of the data [25]. A single gene, EPAS1, exhibited a strong signature of recent positive selection in the Tibetan population. This was evident from the HIF pathway candidate gene analysis as well as the chromosomal scan. EPAS1 is a HIF regulatory gene encoding a transcription factor that induces downstream genes when cellular oxygen levels decrease. Recently, this gene has been implicated in high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in Tibetan populations, although the results are not conclusive [55]. Further research elucidating the genotype-phenotype relationship between this gene and corresponding high-altitude phenotypes will be an important step in understanding the functional significance of EPAS1 variation. In summary, we performed a genome scan on high- and low-altitude human populations to identify selection-nominated candidate genes and gene regions in two long-resident high-altitude populations, Andeans and Tibetans. Several chromosomal regions show evidence of positive directional selection. These regions are unique to either Andeans or Tibetans, suggesting a lack of evolutionary convergence between these two highland populations. However, evidence of convergent evolution between Andeans and Tibetans is suggested based on the signal detected for the HIF regulatory gene EGLN1. In addition to EGLN1, a second HIF regulatory gene, EPAS1, as well as two HIF targeted genes, PRKAA1 and NOS2A, have been indentified as selection-nominated candidate genes in Tibetans (EPAS1) or Andeans (PRKAA1, NOS2A).
"(1 Corinthians 15: 14-17)Thus the Apostle Paul, who met the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, became a messenger of the Resurrection par excellence. He focused on preaching the whole resurrection, from his vision of Christ on the road to Damascus.Thus the Apostle Paul became the apostle of the resurrection to all nations.Emmanuel is one of the names of Jesus, as the angel mentioned, saying, “And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God is with us," (Matthew 1: 23) and this name of Jesus in particular means that Jesus is on the road! The Church, following the example of Jesus is always on the road, and all people are walking together throughout the year on the road to the resurrection.The daily commemoration of the saints is a road map of holiness. The liturgical year is a road map! Daily liturgical prayer is a spiritual way! The believer’s daily prayers take place with Jesus! The power of grace is our daily path. Paul says, “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ!” (Ephesians 4: 7) To each according to his calling, as God leads him on the way! “Thy good spirit shall guide me in the straight way.” (Psalm 142: 10LXX) How marvellous are his ways.The way has different names: Abraham’s way, the road to Emmaus, the road to Damascus, the way of grace, the way and the truth and the life, your one way, not my ways. Introduce me to your wonderful way; take me on the road which follows in the way of your commandments, along the blessed way, the strait way!Let Jesus be with you on your way! Chat with him through Twitter, Viber and Facebook! On all roads be with him on the road! I invite you not only to share with friends on Facebook, but let Jesus be always with you. Do “share” with Jesus! And “like” with him!Jesus is the sower and the grain of wheat! This is what we express in the Lamentations on Holy Saturday Matins, "The life-giving Seed, twofold in nature, today is sown with tears in the furrows of the earth; but springing up He will bring joy to the world.

Among the Märzgefallene, however, we detect no religious differences whatsoever. Put differently, directly after the Church leadership abandoned its opposition to the Nazi government, Catholics and Protestants joined the NSDAP in equal proportions. Table 5 also shows that there had been religious differences in Nazi vote shares as early as 1928. With the onset of the economic crisis, these differences widen dramatically—both in absolute as well as relative terms. At the end of the Weimar Republic, Catholic constituencies are estimated to be 28 to 32 percentage points, or about three standard deviations, less likely to vote for the Nazis than their Protestant counterparts. After the episcopate allied itself with the new regime, Catholics' relative resistance faded. Although all parties but the NSDAP had already been banned, in November 1933, the Nazi government held formal elections as well as a referendum to withdraw from the League of Nations. Another plebiscite about merging the offices of president and chancellor followed in August 1934. Notwithstanding reports of SA members dragging unwilling citizens to the polls, the ballot was still secret and it was possible to oppose the regime by voting “no” or by casting invalid ballots. Wehler (2009) even argues that outright manipulation and voter intimidation were inconsequential enough that, by and large, the published results reflected the people's support of the new regime (see also Kershaw 1998).
On Working With Ian McKellan: “I remember all of us as actors, it would have been the first day that we were on set and Ian appeared in the full rig and that was quite an out of body experience in Bag End, because you did feel like you'd stepped into a film, or another world that you were familiar with, and then suddenly you were actually inhabiting at the same time and that was quite a trippy moment.” Graham McTavish“I suppose Dwalin is the veteran warrior of the group. He's the one along with Balin and Thorin that have seen what the dragon has done. They've experienced battle, whereas a lot of the other guys, I think this is the first time for them. They've not really had that sort of life, and when we talked about it when we started the job, it's a bit like somebody who is going into combat for the first time, I suppose. The young ones are very enthusiastic and think it's going to be a great adventure, but the older ones realize that it's going to be something a lot more harrowing, and I think that's where Dwalin coming from. And he's there, I think, for a very specific purpose. Which is to regain the honor of the Dwarvish race. It's not so much for the gold or the money, it's to get back our homeland. It's very much a returning to an occupied territory almost, and getting it back. I hit a lot of people and I'm very violent. That's the shorthand.”The tattoos. Yeah, we decided early on that Dwalin would have tattoos both on my head and on my arms. We've shot the pre-sequence with Moria where the younger version of myself, where I don't have any of those things. The tattoos, I believe, are an illustrated history of our people. With what happened to us at Moria and with Erebor, etcetera. It's a permanent reminder to me of what we need to do and what we've lost. That's how I interpret the tattoos. There were lots of suggestions as to literally what they meant, but we went with that. And similarly with the axes. I have two axes that I strap to my back, and I wanted very much to have them as characters in the story, almost. I remember that Emily Bronte had two dogs, hounds, called Grasper and Keeper, and I'd never forgotten that.
By 0402 hours, the Spartans were diving at a shallow angle into the planet's gravity well at thirty-three thousands kilometers per hour relative to it. [84] When his HUD signaled it was time, John began to decelerate and flatten his angle of descent. Over the next forty minutes, he and the other Spartans crept stealthily toward the five fighters. When only eight minutes remained until the frigate would reappear over Netherop's horizon John had the assault squad form on him and begin to overtake the Banshees even more quickly, since the larger Covenant ship's sensor umbrella could pose a risk once the planet no longer was between them. The Spartans grouped together by team but were still careful to maintain at least one hundred meters' distance between each of them. Nine minutes later, John gave the signal to tighten the formation and arrange it so that each Banshee had at least two Spartans fifty meters below it. John and Fred climbed into an orbit directly behind the leftmost craft, stopping just two meters from it. Once they reached the mothership the Banshees bled off excess velocity and held position fifty meters beneath its belly. One by one, they rose past an energy barrier into the docking hollow beneath its tail, and the Spartans moved to follow the final one inside. John directed Fred and Kelly to deal with the pilot of the last Banshee and then used his Stanchion to begin firing on the occupants of the hangar, first taking out a Yanme'e and Unggoy in quick succession. Two further shots felled two Sangheili, and following this John could see no more living targets so elected to dispose of the rifle so it would burn up in Netherop's atmosphere. His MA5K would be more useful inside the frigate. All twelve Spartans had managed to board the ship by 0502 hours without triggering any alarms. [80][84]
"Can't they wait another week?" Arpaio asked. "Why can't they give us a little more time." "I thought we were really close to getting this thing resolved. Arpaio appeared with Arizona Sen. Russell Pearce and Rep. Steve Montenegro at a press conference Thursday to promote a political non-profit group the men are affiliated with, but he quickly found the event dominated by news that the federal government had sued his agency. "They can sue me but as Russell always says, 'take the handcuffs off the cops'," Arpaio said. "I'm not going to be intimidated by the federal government going to court against us." The sheriff's failure to cooperate could cost the county millions of dollars of federal funding. Last year, the county received $113 million in federal funds, according to county records; of that, the Sheriff's Office received $3.8 million. County officials must agree that they will not discriminate in order to receive those funds. Arpaio believes the inquiry is focused on his immigration sweeps, patrols where deputies flood an area of a city — in some cases heavily Latino areas — to seek out traffic violators and arrest other offenders. Critics say his deputies pull people over for minor traffic infractions because of the color of their skin so they can ask them for their proof of citizenship. Arpaio denies allegations of racial profiling, saying people are stopped if deputies have probable cause to believe they've committed crimes and that it's only afterward that deputies find many of them are illegal immigrants. The sheriff's office has said half of the 1,032 people arrested in the sweeps have been illegal immigrants. Last year, the federal government stripped Arpaio of his special power to enforce federal immigration law. The sheriff continued his sweeps through the enforcement of state immigration laws. Last year, the nearly $113 million that the county received from the federal government accounted for about 5% of the county's $2 billion budget. Arpaio's office said it receives $3 million to $4 million each year in federal funds. In a separate investigation, a federal grand jury in Phoenix is examining allegations that Arpaio has abused his powers with actions such as intimidating county workers by showing up at their homes at nights and on weekends.

Public displays of affection and sex are still largely taboo in India A court in India has dismissed criminal proceedings against a married couple charged with obscenity for allegedly kissing in public in the capital. The Delhi high court judge wondered how an "expression of love by a young married couple" could attract an obscenity charge. Police arrested the couple - a 28-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman - for kissing near a station last September. Public displays of affection are still largely taboo in India. The police in Delhi had begun criminal proceedings against the couple for "sitting in an objectionable position near a metro (railway station) pillar and kissing due to which passersby were feeling bad". The maximum punishment for committing an "obscene act" is three months in prison. Judge S Muralidhar quashed the criminal proceedings. He said that even if police reports were accurate "it is inconceivable how... an expression of love by a young married couple would attract an offence of obscenity and trigger the coercive process of law". The judge expressed surprise that the couple had been picked up and charged by police despite officers being told that they were married. Controversies Reports say the couple denied in their petition to the court they were kissing. They said they were taking self portraits on their mobile phones. Richard Gere sparked protests in India after he kissed Shilpa Shetty The lawyer who contested the case for the couple told a Delhi newspaper: "Obscenity charges are attracted when an act is so obscene that it encourages depravity or annoys the public. "In this case both these contents are missing, because the charge sheet is silent on any passersby as originally claimed." Kissing in public in India has triggered controversies in the past. In 2007, Hollywood actor Richard Gere sparked protests in India after kissing Celebrity Big Brother winner and Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty at an Aids awareness rally in Delhi. The protesters said Gere had insulted Indian culture by kissing the hand and face of the actress. In 2005, a court in Rajasthan imposed a fine of $22 on an Israeli couple for kissing after getting married in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Pushkar. Priests were offended when the couple kissed and hugged during the chanting of religious verses. In 2004, Bollywood film star Kareena Kapoor began legal proceedings against a tabloid newspaper that published photos of her kissing her co-star.
Then, on December 2nd, 1912, I introduced the following resolution: WHEREAS, Congress created in 1908 a National Monetary Commission with authority to investigate monetary problems in general, and WHEREAS, said Committee bas been discharged, but first made and filed a report and recommendations for certain legislation embodied in a bill now pending in Congress known as the Aldrich plan, but the report failed to disclose any facts in relation to the monopolistic control exercised by certain great special interests of the principal money and credit that enters into commerce, business, and speculation, and WHEREAS, it is vital that Congress should know the facts relating thereto before permanent remedial financial legislation should be undertaken, and WHEREAS, there is a pressing demand for early legislation and for other good and sufficient causes, the House authorized the Banking and Currency Committee to investigate the Monet Trust which exercises a potential and injurious influence in the control of the principal sources of money and credit supply entering commerce, business and speculation, and; WHEREAS, the Committee, in the many months that have passed since it was so authorized, seems not to have undertaken the investigation for the purpose of securing facts to-aid in framing early remedial financial legislation, but rather to have been planning an investigation as if for indictment or some other remote purpose, and in which it is blocked by offenders against honest and impartial rules of business and Government officials who deem the personal privilege of banks so sacred that their business shall not be inquired into even for the benefit of the public, and WHEREAS, this action on the part of the special interests, supported by the refusal of the Government officials to help the committee, is important in itself the facts shall become a part of the committee report, but should in no way delay the investigation which is important in that its purpose is to secure the facts and circumstances that interfere improperly interfere with legitimate commerce and business, If the committee intends to secure information for other purposes and has not sufficient power, it nevertheless should secure the information which is of the most vital importance and which was the moving cause for its authorization; that is, information which will 27 enable Congress to intelligently enact remedial laws relating to the control of money and credits; and WHEREAS, it has never been claimed that there is, or ever was an organized or even an unorganized association that can be specifically pointed to and named as the Money Trust, it is therefore useless to undertake to prove such an organization exists for the purpose of punishing Neither formal nor informal organization is necessary its potential existence.
SECTION I - SUMMARY 1. PRINCETON (CVL23) was hit by an estimated 250 kg. GP bomb on the morning of 24 October 1944 while participating in the Battle for Leyte Gulf off the coast of Luzon about 150 miles east of Manila. At the time of the attack, enemy action was expected and the ship was at General Quarters with Material Condition ABLE set. Planes were being recovered and refueled and six torpedo planes, loaded with torpedoes and fully gassed, were spotted in the hangar ready for a scheduled strike. 2. At 0938 a single enemy plane scored a bomb hit about 15 feet off the centerline to port at frame 98 on the flight deck. The bomb passed through the flight deck, went through a torpedo plane on the hangar deck, pierced the hangar and main decks, and detonated in B-204-2L on the second deck or between the main and second decks. The resulting structural damage was relatively minor. 3. In the hangar a gasoline fire started immediately in the wreckage of the plane through which the bomb passed. The fire spread rapidly. By 0953 the entire hangar was ablaze. Difficulties were encountered in turning on the hangar sprinkling bays and water curtains; only one of the four hangar sprinkling bays and one of the three water curtains were reported as being definitely turned on and there was no report of anyone actually seeing these sprinklers in operation. The after fireroom and engineroom were abandoned almost immediately due to heat and smoke. This resulted in loss of firemain pressure aft within three minutes after damage was received. Except for a break in a high pressure air line in the after engineroom, there was no derangement of machinery in the engineering spaces. 4. Between 1002 and 1020 there occurred a series of heavy explosions in the hangar. Some of the torpedo warheads in the planes were roasted and may have detonated or gasoline vapor may have exploded violently. These explosions blew up the flight deck, wrecked both elevators, and forced evacuation of all machinery spaces. All firemain pressure was lost at 1010. As a result of the explosions, the Commanding Officer ordered Salvage Control, Phase I at 1010 followed by Salvage Control, Phase II at 1020. 5. After 1010 the fire in the hangar was fought with the aid of BIRMINGHAM, RENO, IRWIN and MORRISON. By 1330 the fires were almost under control.
Once per turn, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage you deal with a weapon attack. A dragon that is the same type as your Dragonbrand is unaffected by these abilities. You can use each of these abilities a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all uses of these abilities when you finish a Long Rest. Draconic Aspect At 7th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. Draconic Ward. When you use your Dragonbrand to reduce the damage you take, you gain resistance to a damage type until the end of your next turn. This includes any damage inflicted by the initial damage. Additionally, if you took damage from a melee attack and used this ability, the attacking creature takes 1D6 damage. The damage resistance and the type of damage dealt is determined by your choice of Dragonbrand. Draconic Wrath. When you inflict damage to a creature with your Dragonbrand, that creature also take additional damage equal to half your level (rounded down). This damage type is determined by your choice of Dragonbrand. Dragon Warrior's Tactics At 10th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. Wing Cutter. Your melee attacks deal an additional 1D8 damage against flying targets. Each time your damage a flying creature with a weapon attack, it drops 10ft. If it hits the ground because of this ability, it is knocked prone. Storm Ruler. When you damage a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use a bonus action to latch onto that creature. While latched onto a creature this way, if a different creature makes an attack against you, you can use a reaction to change the target of the attack to the creature you are latched onto. Scale Breaker. If a creature takes damage from your Dragonbrand, it has disadvantage on its next saving throw. Draconic Gift At 15th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. Draconic Armour. While you are wearing Medium or Heavy armour, or carrying a shield, you can add your Charisma modifier to your AC. Draconic Magic. You learn three cantrips of your choice from the Sorcerer spell list. In addition, choose one 1st-level spell and one 2nd-level spell from the Sorcerer spell list. You learn these spells and can cast them at their lowest level.
While I do not agree with the FAZ's general editorial positions, I have followed Rainer Hermann reports for years. In my view he is an very reliable and knowledgeable reporter who would not have written the above if he had doubts or no additional confirmation about what he was told by the opposition members he talked to.

Can I use the same files at CreateSpace as at Lightning, or do I have to start over? There are a number of small differences in file requirements between Lightning and CreateSpace, but in many cases, the exact same files will work. Some publishers even report successfully sending book covers that are placed on one of Lightning’s templates! Personally, though, I think this is a terrible idea, because the only way CreateSpace can use such a cover is to rasterize the whole thing before cropping the template away. The files that are most likely to work without change are interior files for black-and-white books that are text only. You’re also fine with interior graphics in those books, as long as they don’t come closer to the edge than a quarter inch. Closer than that, and you’ll have to meet different bleed and layout requirements. For covers too, you have to meet different bleed requirements, as well as a stricter limit for spine text on narrow spines. Color requirements are actually much simpler at CreateSpace. Though it can handle all-CMYK covers with a 240% total ink limit, such as required by Lightning, you’ll do better with most color in RGB with an Adobe RGB embedded color profile. And actually, you should always design your covers that way, and convert them to all-CMYK only when necessary and as a last step. Interior color graphics too are best supplied to CreateSpace in all Adobe RGB. Spine width will be slightly different, due to a difference in paper thickness. Personally, though, I always design my covers off template and round the spine width to the nearest eighth inch. If you do that, the difference in width from Lightning to CreateSpace probably won’t affect you at all. You can use the bar code from Lightning’s template or elsewhere, but why bother? If your cover has none, CreateSpace will add one, using an ISBN of either yours or CreateSpace’s. (Don’t confuse the ISBN with the bar code that encodes it!) Lately, CreateSpace has offered the option of letting you approve your book without seeing a proof. I strongly advise against this! CreateSpace techs have a nasty habit of altering your book and cover design to fit their requirements—without telling you!—and not very competently, either. Sometimes you can see that from the cover thumbnail displayed on the CreateSpace site when your proof is ready.

Last year, AMD introduced the first Polaris generation of GPUs. With it, AMD delivered many new features, along with great performance in the latest games and greatly improved efficiency. Since launch, AMD has been hard at work delivering continued support by updating/adding features and improving our driver ecosystem.Still, many users have graphics hardware that is more than two years old and have yet to move to the most recent technology. Thanks to the Polaris architecture and a mature 14-nm FinFET fabrication process, the Radeon™ RX 560 offers a rich mix of performance and capabilities for around 100 euros. This makes the RX 560 the ideal upgrade from an older graphics card or an integrated graphics solution that can't keep pace with the latest games – be it eSports or AAA titles.The Radeon RX 560 Series Graphics plays gamers' favorites at a smooth 1080p, from the latest eSports games and MOBAs to the most popular, graphically intensive AAA titles. As more games adopt DirectX 12 and Vulkan™, combined with frequent software updates by AMD, the RX 560 will also continue to deliver in the future. In addition, AMD FreeSync 2 takes gaming to the next level by bringing to the masses yet more premium features, such as the variable-refresh technology and HDR.For only around 100 euros, the Radeon RX 560 outperforms the competition at this price point while showing the significant difference of upgrading from a previous generation.AAA games are generally designed for gaming enthusiasts and push the GPU to its limits. Thanks to available 4 GB variants, the Radeon RX 560 performs well against its main competitor across a wide range of AAA titles:The Radeon Chill algorithm monitors user inputs in order to determine whether or not quick motion is happening on the screen during a game, and dynamically regulates the framerate based on that information. During peak gameplay, Radeon Chill works to deliver the full framerate potential of Radeon graphics. As in-game movement decreases, Radeon Chill reduces your gameplay framerate, enabling high-performance graphics when you battle and saving power when you explore.Some of the biggest eSports titles, such as CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends and Overwatch, are ideal candidates to pair with Radeon Chill. Radeon Chill has a minimum and maximum FPS range that can be configured through Radeon Settings.
Still, they will have to work hard to earn the trust of algorithm developers, operators, and users who will be appropriately concerned about their liability. Effective independent oversight boards have sufficient legal power to investigate accidents and necessary knowledge to raise concerns. Members of a National Algorithms Safety Board will also need to be able to revisit their report recommendations to see that appropriate changes have been made. Industry and governments have used three forms of independent oversight: planning oversight, continuous monitoring by knowledgeable review boards, and a retrospective analysis of disasters.
Of course, it was normal to wear shoes in the building, and it wasn't like there was an expectation for you to take off your shoes here. Maybe it was just a weird obsession of his, but he had numerous spare sets of clothes and pairs of shoes within his private room. Also at the entrance was a small little stool, upon which sat what looked like a little grey fairy.The girl wearing a grey hood was holding a small cloth, using it to clean shoes. With various bottles of shoe cream and stain remover, and an assortment of small cloths to use them with, she was happily working away at polishing each of the shoes. Paying no mind to how dirty her fingers were getting, she was dutifully cleaning them right down to the laces. "Polishing shoes again? ""Ah, Miss Reines!" With a start, the hooded girl turned to me.In all honesty, this was exactly the kind of situation I liked to tease people in, but for some reason with this girl I didn't feel up to it. Maybe because my favourite target was just a little further in. I normally wouldn't be one to pass up an hors d'oeuvre, but I guess I had had my fill with Flat and Svin earlier.Seeing three neatly polished shoes lined up nicely, I spoke again. "You enjoy polishing shoes quite a bit, don't you? I never thought polishing shoes could be all that fun. Let me give it a shot sometime. ""...it's just my job. "As reserved as always, the girl - Gray pushed the dirty cloths and bottles of shoe cream into hiding. "It's not like I'm planning on taking it away from you." Her response had been so adorable, I found myself smiling despite myself.This, too, was fairly rare for me. Maybe it was because, as closely tied as she was to magecraft, she wasn't a magus. When you didn't have to worry about politics and diplomacy with the person you were talking to, there was no need to constantly armour yourself. Though in reality I had grown so used to my armour that from an early age I had stopped distinguishing between that and my own skin. "It just looked like you were having so much fun, it made me want to try it with you some time. ""...it looked fun?"
Wizard Archetype: The Engineer The Engineer has 11 PhDs and has created a great deal of advanced mechanical creations, such as a sentry that targets enemies automatically, a teleporter with no set limit on its range, a mechanical hand; the list goes on. As the only true genius amongst the TF2 crowd, what class suits him more than Wizard? I've included two different versions of this, mostly because I'm not really sure that either version is balanced. Minkering Minkering, the art of Magical Tinkering, is an esoteric field of magical study almost exclusively persued by gnomes, particularly rock gnomes. A Minkerer carves arcane symbols and paths into their material of choice, using them to create new ways to channel excess arcane energy. Those that delve deep enough into the mysterious art of Minkering learn how to channel arcane power to bring their constructs to thinking life, and true masters of the art are capable of bring their constructs to full sentience. Minkering Basics At 2nd level when you choose this arcane tradition, you gain proficiency with Tinker's Tools and learn the mending cantrip as a Wizard cantrip that does not count against your total number of cantrips known. Formulaic Arcana You write your spells using special notation that makes sense to you and only you. The forumla allows you to weave certain spells faster and prepare them more easily. Beginning when you select this arcane tradition at 2nd level, casting a Wizard spell as a ritual now only adds half a minute to the spell's casting time. Also starting at 2nd level, when you take a short rest you can swap out a number of your prepared spells for other spells in your spell book. The number of spells you can swap out is equal to half your Intelligence modifier rounded up (minimum 1). Personal Crafted Focus Starting at 2nd level when you choose this arcane tradition, you can spend 2 hours and 50 gp to create a Personal Crafted Focus. This is a spellcasting focus that specifically works with your energies. As long as you have your Personal Crafted Focus on your person, your maximum health increases by 1 per Wizard level. Whenever you use a spell slot to cast a spell that has a material component that you are replacing by using your Personal Crafted Focus, you can channel excess arcane energy to create a special effect as a bonus action.
Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daley’s words to his Marines at Belleau Wood “C’mon you sons-of-bitches do you want to live forever!” shock even today because for most Americans the answer would probably be “Yes indeed Sergeant I do -- or at least a long, long time.” Daley’s men went on not because they were fatalists but because he shamed them into it -- they were not cowards and wouldn’t be seen that way. George Patton put the American mindset more clearly yet: “No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.” The Germans don’t think that way, then or now. A German soldier set off for war with the expectation, (held by his family as well) that he would not return. Such fatalism allowed the Germans to endure enormous losses in World War I and then be willing to have at it again twenty years later. Even the famously fatalistic Russians paled in comparison to the Germans at the start of World War II when millions of Soviet soldiers surrendered in the first months of fighting. Only when it became clear that surrender to the Nazis still meant death or slavery did Russian soldiers stiffen, and even then, often had to be brutally coerced into fighting by their commissars. This attitude is reflected as well in modern German philosophers, a sober list if there ever was one: Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Spengler, Heidegger. A parade of inevitable dialectics, existential dread, and the death of Western civilization. Who wouldn’t be fatalistic in such a culture? German culture is one thing, a German national ethos another. The idea of the German Volk, a word with important connotations that means more than the sum of its parts (people, language, and culture) goes back at least two millennia. The idea of a German nation is much newer, and still unsettled. Until 1870 there was no German nation. A late arrival to the idea of a united modern nation-state, the Germans suffered for it and have been trying to figure out what to do since. The first idea was to be like most of their chief rivals, an imperialistic, at least partly monarchal colonial power, as befitted Germany’s military and industrial strength.

“If you’re referring to Maxson, you’re right. He’s still going to be a problem. But I might have a way out.” “I hope that’s enough to convince you to take your place as Elder of the Brotherhood.” “The Litany is clear. We have a new Elder.” “I want to make one thing clear to everyone. This body might be synth, but my heart and mind belong to the Brotherhood. The Institute is still a tremendous threat to the Commonwealth. They possess technologies that need to be confiscated or destroyed. And even if that means I have to pull the trigger on my own kind, I’m willing to make that sacrifice.” “Just prepare yourself. I don’t know what Maxson* will have in store when we arrive.” “When Haylen warned me about Quinlan’s discovery, she begged me to confront Maxson. She told me that there were Brotherhood soldiers that still believed in me, that would stand behind me if I challenged his authority. At the time, I told her that it wouldn’t be right to cause a rift in our ranks. We’re on the brink of war with the Institute, and weakening our unity felt like I’d be… Backstabbing my own troops. But knowing that you’re still with me… Maybe that will be enough to convince Maxson that he’s making a mistake. I’ll come back to the Prydwen with you, and we’ll confront Maxson together.” “As a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin, I’m issuing a formal challenge against your authority as Elder. We’ll settle this matter as it was written in the Litany: In combat. Then you leave me no choice.” (This one seems like it was meant to be split and mixed with Maxson’s responses.) “Right now, I’m not sure we can even get near Maxson before the Brotherhood would cut us down. But we have to try. I’ve known Maxson for a long time, and under all that protocol is a decent man.” “Be ready for anything. Maxson’s going to be furious when he sees me.”
Immediately after launch the missile has poor manoeuvrability due to its low speed, this improves as its cruise speed is reached. Manoeuvrability will peak at the instant when the sustainer is about to burn out as the weapon has its lowest mass and a high energy state while still possessing powerplant thrust. After sustainer burnout, the missile will bleed off its energy which reduces its ability to follow through manoeuvres. Significantly, a missile's range depends on altitude, with a typical factor of two improvement between sea level and 20,000ft. Another important aspect of a missile powerplant is its visual signature of smoke plume and/or contrail. These identify the launch site/vehicle's position and aspect, may identify the missile type and also provide a clear indication of the missile's flightpath. Although modern weapons such as AMRAAM have reduced trails, it is a factor which is difficult to eliminate. The airframe and controls of a missile impose structural and aerodynamic performance limitations. Ideally, a missile airframe will employ a combination of wing and body lift to provide maximum turn rate with minimum energy bleed throughout all phases of its flight while maximising range. Most missile airframes use, much like fixed wing aircraft, indirect control forces to turn; rotating control surfaces change the attitude of the vehicle relative to the airflow which generates wing and body lift forces. These turn the missile and are proportional to speed. Even at the missile's cruise speed basic manoeuvrability limits will exist due to the airframe's G-limit and AoA limits of its surfaces and these may be exploited in defeating it. A special class of missiles are those which employ thrust vector control and radial manoeuvring thrusters. These offer tight manoeuvring at low speeds but are unable to manoeuvre after the burnout of the sustainer or thrusters respectively. The guidance implements the fundamental control law(s) designed for the vehicle, it translates the perceived motion of the target into control commands which alter the airframe's flightpath to achieve a hit. Guidance depends very much upon the class of weapon, the major categories being Command Link, Beam Riding and Homing. Command Link is common in medium and large SAM types, particularly for midcourse guidance although often it has been used all the way when jamming has degraded terminal homing. Essentially, it involves the beaming of steering commands from the launch site/platform which is equipped with radar and/or optical tracking systems.
Thus, even though water has lower energy in its bonds than hydrogen molecules plus oxygen molecules in theirs so that a large amount of energy is evolved overall when a reaction occurs, none of that energy can be released without an initial "push" to aid the break of a few hydrogen and oxygen bonds just before they form a few water molecules. Once that "push" occurs, the energy evolved as the water is formed feeds back to make many of the unreacted hydrogen and oxygen molecules move far more rapidly and collide forcefully so they react to evolve more energy and so on and on. The initial"push" described in the preceding paragraph is what chemists call an activation energy. Most spontaneous reactions require this initial input of an amount of energy, activation energy, to aid the first few molecules to react so they feed back their evolved energy to serve as activation energy for succeeding molecules to repeat the cycle. (See http://shakespeare2ndlaw.oxy.edu for diagrams of activation energies, E ACT , that is designated properly as E a in texts and scientific publications.) It is this "minor" detail of chemical reactions, the activation energy, that obstructs the instant carrying out of second law predictions and thus protects our bodily biochemicals and our degradable artifacts from instant oxidation and other deleterious reactions \|back to top\|
Wild-type or Tmc1Bth/ΔTmc2Δ/Δ littermates were injected with 0.9 μl Cas9–Tmc1-mut3–Lipofectamine 2000 or Cas9–GFP sgRNA–Lipofectamine 2000. Wild-type C57B/L6 mice were injected with 0.9 μl Cas9–Tmc1-wt3–Lipofectamine 2000 at P0–P1 via cochleostomy. Cochleae were removed at P5–P6 and cultured in MEM(1×) + GlutaMAX-I medium with 1% FBS at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 for up to 15 days. For recording, the organs of Corti were bathed in standard artificial perilymph containing 137 mM NaCl, 0.7 mM NaH 2 PO 4 , 5.8 mM KCl, 1.3 mM CaCl 2 , 0.9 mM MgCl 2 , 10 mM HEPES, and 5.6 mM d-glucose. Vitamins (1:50) and amino acids (1:100) were added to the solution from concentrates (Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific), and NaOH was used to adjust the final pH to 7.4 (~310 mOsm/kg). Recording pipettes (2–4 MΩ) were pulled from R6 capillary glass (King Precision Glass) and filled with intracellular solution containing 135 mM CsCl, 5 mM HEPES, 5 mM EGTA, 2.5 mM MgCl 2 , 2.5 mM Na 2 -ATP, and 0.1 mM CaCl 2 ; CsOH was used to adjust the final pH to 7.4 (~285 mOsm/kg). Whole-cell, tight-seal, voltage-clamp recordings were conducted at −84 mV at room temperature (22–24 °C) with an Axopatch 200B amplifier (Molecular Devices). Hair bundles were deflected with a stiff glass probe fabricated from capillary glass with a fire polisher (MF-200, World Precision Instruments) to create a rounded probe tip of ~3–5 μm in diameter. Probes were mounted on a PICMA Chip piezo actuator (Physik Instrument) and driven by an LVPZT amplifier (E-500.00, Physik Instrumente). Sensory-transduction currents were recorded from uninjected and Cas9–sgRNA-treated hair cells. The data were filtered at 10 kHz with a low-pass Bessel filter and digitized at >20 kHz with a 16-bit acquisition board (Digidata 1440A, Molecular Devices) and pClamp 10 software (Molecular Devices).
Socialism Made Easy \| Home \| Join \| Donate \| Bookshop Socialism Made Easy by James Connolly [Previous] [Next] SOCIALISM AND NATIONALISM WELL, YOU WON'T GET THE IRISH TO HELP YOU. OUR IRISH-AMERICAN LEADERS TELL US THAT ALL WE IRISH IN THIS COUNTRY OUGHT TO STAND TOGETHER AND USE OUR VOTES TO FREE IRELAND. Sure, let us free Ireland! Never mind such base, carnal thoughts as concern work and wages, healthy homes, or lives unclouded by poverty. Let us free Ireland! The rackrenting landlord; is he not also an Irishman, and wherefore should we hate him? Nay, let us not speak harshly of our brother - yea, even when he raises our rent. Let us free Ireland! The profit-grinding capitalist, who robs us of three-fourths of the fruits of our labor, who sucks the very marrow of our bones when we are young, and then throws us out in the street, like a worn-out tool, when we are grown prematurely old in his service, is he not an Irishman, and mayhap a patriot, and wherefore should we think harshly of him? Let us free Ireland! 'The land that bred and bore us.' And the landlord who makes us pay for permission to live upon it. Whoop it up for liberty! 'Let us free Ireland,' says the patriot who won't touch Socialism. Let us all join together and cr-r-rush the br-r-rutal Saxon. Let us all join together, says he, all classes and creeds. And, says the town worker, after we have crushed the Saxon and freed Ireland, what will we do? Oh, then you can go back to your slums, same as before. Whoop it up for liberty! And, says the agricultural workers, after we have freed Ireland, what then? Oh, then you can go scraping around for the landlord's rent or the money-lenders' interest same as before. Whoop it up for liberty! After Ireland is free, says the patriot who won't touch Socialism, we will protect all classes, and if you won't pay your rent you will be evicted same as now. But the evicting party, under command of the sheriff, will wear green uniforms and the Harp without the Crown, and the warrant turning you out on the roadside will be stamped with the arms of the Irish Republic. Now, isn't that worth fighting for?
The fact that the science is ahead of the money encourages us to get cooking. Our first breakfast turned into a huge deal with close to 200 people, but we firmly believe that whether you serve 10, 30 or 300 guests, you will have done something significant towards increasing awareness, and you definitely will have had some fun. And did we mention it is cheap? The costs are remarkably low for the return. Our total cost that first year was about $200, including cards, envelopes and postage for a huge mailing, masses of superb porridge and dense and delicious Dried Fruit Poached in Port compote. We could have done it for much much less (in a subsequent year we used www.evite.com for our invitations but now we're back to printed invites--citing the fact that folks love to stick something on their fridge). Our favourite statistic is that the steel cut oats cost $10.81 to serve 200 people. Our party continues to be large--we sent out about 450 invitations in 2006, many to regulars who salivate at the mere mention of porridge. Our expenses were about $1000.00 and we brought in $50,000.00. (And because of the SNOW that day, we had a lot smaller turn-out but many people sent in donations. Good thing the kids had a snowball fight that day cause that was more or less it for that year!) The Bottom Line: We raise a lot of money in a morning for the Pacific Parkinson's Research Institute, which funds the Pacific Parkinson's Research Centre (formerly known as the Movement Disorder Clinic at the University of British Columbia ). Their work is well known worldwide. So, if you have Parkinson's Disease or know someone who does, or just feel like putting on a fun, inexpensive and profitable event for this cause, go for it. You're guaranteed to get lots of kudos for these great recipes, it is pretty minimal impact entertaining, and you will have remarkable results both financially and for raising public awareness. Our guests were eager to learn something about this rather bizarre brain disorder and keen to contribute something. It all adds up.
The plot is unpredictable, but not outlandishly so. Although the movie is rather long for this type of comedy (120 minutes), and the ending is drawn out, the movie keeps viewers guessing until the last minute. Dodgeball, on the other hand, left nothing to the imagination: the end outcome is implied in the title itself. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is a half-formed idea that fails to deliver and falls flat trying to do so. (much like its characters). A shallow plot, unremarkable characters, and a lack of creativity make this movie a one-time watch. The only reason I would recommend viewing this movie would be to have an example of what not to do in a comedy. Rawson Thurber managed to take a handpicked selection of A-list actors and create a movie that would be lucky to get on a B-list. Works Cited Bad News Bears. Dir. Michael Ritchie. Perf.

To detect the turn size you need to calculate how many frames it takes until Remaining Latency Frames equals Latency Frames.Consider the scenario where a marine runs into a group of hostile units. The image below shows the exact moment a teal marine detected it is outnumbered and turned around to run away. The circles show the attack range (weapon max range) of the respective units.As you can see, the teal marine is well within the attack range of the closer red marine and will therefore take hits.Two factors are responsible:1. If the teal marine issues a move command to run away the exact moment it spots enemy units within their weapon range the command will only be executed later.2. Furthermore, the teal marine will require a couple of frames to turn around (between 4 and 5 in this case)So how do we make sure we run away in time?We could of course just run away as soon as enemies are in sight range. But this will result in a very conservative behavior with many missed opportunities to get your own shots off.Instead, we account for latency and frames required to turn as follows:BecomesOk, but where will each unit be x frames into the future?For your own units you can just extrapolate along the current path.For enemy units, there are two main approaches:- Either assume they are walking directly towards you (conservative case)- Or assume they continue their current direction at their current speedThe image below shows a scenario where the green marine accounts for 6 latency frames and 4 frames to turn. It therefore calculates the distance between where the teal marines will be 10 frames into the future and itself 6 frames into the future (since it turns on the spot).The result is a very precise micro, where the green marine will remain just outside of enemy weapon range.A word of warning: escaping is considerably harder than attacking. You need to avoid getting cornered and may have to take unexpected turns, allowing the enemy to catch up. It might be a good idea to introduce some safety margin to account for this.Thanks tscmoo for proof-readingRadicalZephyr explained turns and latency well at https://github.com/RadicalZephyr/bwapi/wiki/Latency 50 pts Copper League
In Peru and Cuba some Indian (Native American), mulatto, black, and white women engaged in carnal relations or marriages with Chinese men, with marriages of mulatto, black, and white woman being reported by the Cuba Commission Report and in Peru it was reported by the New York Times that Peruvian black and Indian (Native) women married Chinese men to their own advantage and to the disadvantage of the men since they dominated and "subjugated" the Chinese men despite the fact that the labor contract was annulled by the marriage, reversing the roles in marriage with the Peruvian woman holding marital power, ruling the family and making the Chinese men slavish, docile, "servile", "submissive" and "feminine" and commanding them around, reporting that "Now and then ... he [the Chinese man] becomes enamored of the charms of some sombre-hued chola (Native Indian and mestiza woman) or samba (mixed black woman), and is converted and joins the Church, so that may enter the bonds of wedlock with the dusky señorita. "[120] Chinese men were sought out as husbands and considered a "catch" by the "dusky damsels" (Peruvian women) because they were viewed as a "model husband, hard-working, affectionate, faithful and obedient" and "handy to have in the house", the Peruvian women became the "better half" instead of the "weaker vessel" and would command their Chinese husbands "around in fine style" instead of treating them equally, while the labor contract of the Chinese coolie would be nullified by the marriage, the Peruvian wife viewed the nullification merely as the previous "master" handing over authority over the Chinese man to her as she became his "mistress", keeping him in "servitude" to her, speedily ending any complaints and suppositions by the Chinese men that they would have any power in the marriage.
