In the last instance the US and Russia, let alone Germany and several other EU countries, have economic and geopolitical interests to limit the confrontation to a certain level – as otherwise it could endanger the entire global system. 9. Autonomy Also from our point of view a larger military conflict splitting the country is not desirable, as the social conflict would be buried under the clash between rightist Ukrainian and imperial Russian nationalism. Substantial autonomy instead would help the eastern parts of the country to gain democratic rights against the Kiev rulers but would not destroy the bridge to Ukrainian lower classes. Calling for autonomy does not bring the movement into a situation of dependency on Putin’s military machine totally unacceptable for the Ukrainian lower classes. This could be combined to a status of neutrality in foreign relations allowing more margin of manoeuvre. Close relations to Russia could be re-established on more equal base. 10. People’s government Strategic aim is to bring down the Kiev regime allied with the west without coalescing with the pro-Russian capitalist elite (system Putin-Yanukovych). Given the acute social crisis it is not impossible to decompose the hegemony of the bloc between the radical rightist nationalists and the big oligarchs. A social revolutionary answer could become plausible as the new regime will soon prove to be unable to address the deep troubles of the country. But popular democratic and social demands can only be moved against the Kiev regime if the social revolutionary forces cannot be taken as an appendix of the Kremlin. www.antiimperialista.org/ donba ss A presentation of Borotba, a Ukrainian popular anti-capitalist force The new authorities by all possible means try to prevent democratic referendums over the issue of self-governing in South-eastern regions – where protests against new regime are glowing. New rulers of Ukraine try to present these protests as only ‘pro-Russian’ or ‘inspired by the Kremlin’, but the union ‘Borotba’ is effectively fighting for wringing them out of the influence of pro-russian nationalism. We are irreconcilable opponents to the Putin’s regime that our Russian comrades are fighting with. We are against war and any interference into Ukrainian conflict as it may trigger the military confrontation of two imperialisms. Expecting the intensification of the current crisis, we are getting ready to take part in the process of organization of mass protests against anti-social reforms and far-right terror of new authorities.
I want to tax the rich man's stocks and bonds, also his income, and his inheritances, and his wife's jewels. In addition, I advocate a land tax, but one graduated like the income tax. If a man or a corporation owns a great deal of land, I want to tax him on the full rental value. If he owns only one little lot, I don't want to tax him at all. Some day that measure will come before the voters of California, and then I should like to see the bankers and land speculators of the state persuade the poor man that the measure would not be to the poor man's advantage! See editor's note That this measure has not yet come before the voters of any state is due to the unfortunate fact that the Single Tax has become a dogma, just like any of the old-time devine revelations. You must take it just as Henry George recommended it, and if you suggest improvements on it you are a renegade, a betrayer of the sacred cause. It was just about thirty years ago that Henry George ran for mayor of New York and did not get elected. In that time the Single Tax has been advocated in many places, and I believe it has yet to carry an election in the United States. So, naturally, there have been some discouraged Single Taxers, and it has occurred to some of them to try another method of applying their ideas. This is the method of the colony. I have before me a little book entitled "Enclaves of Economic Rent," by C. W. Huntington.... This book is published by Mr. Fiske Warren, a millionaire paper manufacturer who lives at Harvard, Massachusetts, and believes in the Single Tax by way of enclaves.... I sought to persuade Mr. Warren that a great crisis was impending; that the inequality of wealth in our society a thing continually growing worse, was bound to bring a smash-up long before mankind had been persuaded to live in enclaves. To this Mr. Warren answered, in substance: "You may be right; but if this civilization collapses, something else will have to be put in its place, and it may be useful to men to have a model of a better community." ...How are these enclaves run? The principle is very simple.
A recent study based on a small section of DNA found on chromosome 9 attempted to determine the origin and number of Paleo-Indian migrations. Based on their analysis, the authors concluded that “all modern Native Americans . . . trace a large portion of their ancestry to a single founding population that may have been isolated from other Asian populations prior to expanding into the Americas.” [68] This study was recently mentioned as further demonstration that conclusions by critics of the Book of Mormon in the past are indeed correct, based on the fact that the study purportedly reported thatallNative American populations andall individuals analyzed carried the same autosomal polymorphic mutation also found in Asian populations. [69] Book of Mormon opponents, however, disregard several key points in their arguments. First, as already discussed, the presence of indigenous populations of Asian origins prior to the arrival of Book of Mormon people does not affect the historicity of the book itself. These autosomal findings are in line with what is already known about Native American populations and do not change arguments already presented that propose that Book of Mormon events are compatible with the Asian-dominated genetic landscape found in Native Americans today. Population bottleneck, founder effect, genetic drift, and other population-altering forces affect all genetic systems, including autosomal DNA. It would not be unusual to expect that the small autosomal contribution of Lehi and his followers could be lost over time when mixing with an already established population of Asian origin. Additionally, the authors concluded that “a large portion” and not all the Native American ancestry can be traced to a single population with Asian affinity. A further important point comes from the idea of hypothesis construction. This research was not designed to identify a possible presence of Western Eurasian–specific markers in the Amerindian populations, and thus it is not surprising that none were found.
“The model . . . can save time and work during an incident, where time is critical,” said Forster revealing that “I’m aware of at least two cases in past 12 months where this model has been and is being used to help identify legitimate foreign targets.” It was a rare disclosure of the agency’s role in overseas operations. Forster added the agency’s work has been key in the past in saving the lives of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. Challenged by Conservative Senator Pierre Claude Nolin as to whether the agency circumvents its legal mandate by relying on intelligence on Canadians gathered by the U.S. or other allies, Forster said there is no back door. Referring to the Five Eyes — the intelligence community made up of Canada, the U.S., the UK, Australia and New Zealand — Forster said the allies have reached common ground. “We have a policy in terms of collecting communications amongst the Five Eyes: we don’t target each other citizens; it’s an agreement among the Five Eyes.” Both Forster and Rigby insisted CSEC’s activities are reviewed by its watchdog the CSEC commissioner, a retired judge, and have been deemed legal and appropriate. Rigby said all Canada’s “allies have adopted a different model of oversight” but insisted Canada’s watchdog agencies is an appropriate regime. He said the review bodies, which include the CSEC commissioner, and the Security Intelligence Review Committee that oversees CSIS are “sufficiently resourced” and are “functioning extremely well.” “Of course, we could improve,” he said. Later, he clarified, “I’m not saying they’re perfect,” but he cautioned that more legislated oversight “should be viewed with caution.” Forster and the head of CSIS, Michel Coulombe, told the committee the spy agencies charged with counter-terrorism and counter-espionage would accede to whatever further oversight Parliament required, but warned against duplication of effort. Ontario’s and the federal privacy commissioners have raised the alarm about just how intrusive the agencies’ activities appear to be, following those reports. Rigby said a report last week by Chantal Bernier, the interim federal privacy commissioner, put forth “interesting ideas . . . that we are aware of and are studying.” But he seemed cool to increased oversight, suggesting there are already “robust mechanisms” in place. Senator Grant Mitchell, a Liberal, said later he was not satisfied and believes there is a need for more parliamentary oversight. “It’s very easy to become bogged down in one perspective unless you’re challenged.
Natural Selection 2 pits alien against human in an action-packed struggle for survival. Wield devastating weaponry as a Frontiersman marine, or become the xenomorph as a deadly Kharaa lifeform.Natural Selection 2 is a First Person Shooter and Real Time Stategy game rolled into one! Each team, alien and human, has a Commander. The Commander looks down on the battlefield and issues orders, places structures, collects resources, researches technology, and deploys abilities.Here are some gameplay examples: A human Commander could drop health packs and ammunition to a trapped marine squad, and deploy sentry guns to help them defend their position. Or an alien Commander could grow a new Hive to spread infestation throughout newly captured territory, allowing more alien eggs to spawn...Aliens players choose to evolve into one of five lifeforms: The fast, fearsome Skulk can run on walls and deliver massive damage with its jaws. Lerks fly and deploy gasses to support their teammates in battle. Gorges heal other lifeforms and build tunnels, hydra turrets, walls, and other tactical structures. Fades blink in and out of battle, picking off marines with giant scythes. Finally, the giant Onos is so massive and so tough, that even entire marine squads can't take it down.Marines wield rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, pistols, and other weapons. Cluster grenades can clear ventilation shafts of sneaky Skulks, flamethrowers make short work of alien structures and infestation, and boosts dropped by the Commander increase combat effectiveness.When attacking on foot doesn't cut it, marines can construct hulking Exosuits wielding miniguns and railguns, and equip jetpacks for high speed assaults on alien Hives.Natural Selection 2 receives constant updates. This year, 2016, Unknown Worlds continues to develop new features, content, and improvements.Natural Selection 2 comes with all the tools we used to make the game. All game code is open source.

12. From this text it is clear that by the will and command of God the Church rests upon St. Peter, just as a building rests on its foundation. Now the proper nature of a foundation is to be a principle of cohesion for the various parts of the building. It must be the necessary condition of stability and strength. Remove it and the whole building falls. It is consequently the office of St. Peter to support the Church, and to guard it in all its strength and indestructible unity. How could he fulfil this office without the power of commanding, forbidding, and judging, which is properly called jurisdiction? It is only by this power of jurisdiction that nations and commonwealths are held together. A primacy of honour and the shadowy right of giving advice and admonition, which is called direction, could never secure to any society of men unity or strength. The words - and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it - proclaim and establish the authority of which we speak. "What is the it?" (writes Origen). "Is it the rock upon which Christ builds the Church or the Church? The expression indeed is ambiguous, as if the rock and the Church were one and the same. I indeed think that this is so, and that neither against the rock upon which Christ builds His Church nor against the Church shall the gates of Hell prevail" (Origenes, Comment. in Matt., tom. xii., n. ii). The meaning of this divine utterance is, that, notwithstanding the wiles and intrigues which they bring to bear against the Church, it can never be that the church committed to the care of Peter shall succumb or in any wise fail. "For the Church, as the edifice of Christ who has wisely built 'His house upon a rock,' cannot be conquered by the gates of Hell, which may prevail over any man who shall be off the rock and outside the Church, but shall be powerless against it" (Ibid.). Therefore God confided His Church to Peter so that he might safely guard it with his unconquerable power. He invested him, therefore, with the needful authority; since the right to rule is absolutely required by him who has to guard human society really and effectively. This, furthermore, Christ gave: "To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of Heaven."
Each hall had the same 16 scenes in stone relief all identically arranged. The bhikkhus could cope with four audiences simultaneously. The scenes cover the whole life of the Buddha. When well grounded in these, the audience would pass to the outer wall of the corridor. Here, running around the whole corridor are the 80 scenes of Gotama's life up to the Enlightenment. The later life of the Buddha is shown in hundreds of other stone reliefs on the inner walls and shrines. [24] Kyanzitta's efforts for the advancement of Buddhism were not limited to his own country. For in one of his many inscriptions, he also mentions that he sent craftsmen to Bodhgaya to repair the Mahabodhi temple, which had been destroyed by a foreign king. The upkeep of the Mahabodhi temple became a tradition with the kings of Myanmar, who continued to send missions to Bodhgaya to repair the temple and also to donate temple slaves and land to the holiest shrine of Buddhism. [25] Kyanzitta also initiated an extensive review and purification of the Tipitaka by the bhikkhus. This was the first occasion in Myanmar's history when the task of a Buddhist Sangayana or Synod, comparing the Sinhalese and Suvannabhumi's Tipitaka, was undertaken. It is possible and even probable that this huge editing work was carried out along with visiting Sinhalese bhikkhus. By nature of Myanmar's geographical position, external influences swept in predominantly from northern India, and therefore tantric Buddhism, dominant especially in Bengal, remained strong. However, Kyanzitta succeeded in firmly establishing the Pali Tipitaka by asking the bhikkhus to compare the ancient Mon Tipitaka with the texts obtained from the Mahavihara in Sri Lanka. In this way, he also made it clear that confirmation of orthodoxy was to be sought in Sri Lanka and not in any other Buddhist country. Though Mahayana practices were tolerated in his reign (his chief queen was a tantric Buddhist), they were not officially regarded as the pure religion. It is characteristic of Pagan that these two branches of Buddhism co-existed — the religion of the Theras, which was accepted as the highest religion — and the tantric practices, which included the worship of spirits or nats and gave more immediate satisfaction. Pagodas are often adorned with figures of all types of deities, but the deities are normally shown in an attitude of reverence towards the pagoda, a symbol of the Buddha.

He accepted a position with Boeing , overseeing the design and development of the crew systems for their potential shuttle replacement, a capsule the company is calling the Commercial Space Transportation, or CST, 100.Boeing's CST-100 is among a small group of commercial spacecraft competing for a NASA contract to fly crews to and from the space station. NASA is expected to reveal its choices of vehicles later this month or next.Among the astronauts who could someday fly aboard the CST-100, if Boeing is selected, are Ferguson's STS-135 crewmates, who are still with NASA. In the interim, they too are working to advance future spacecraft and missions from within the space agency.Hurley is currently the assistant director for new programs under NASA's Flight Crew Operations Directorate (FCOD) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Walheim is the Astronaut Office's main liaison to the Orion program and is providing input from an astronaut's perspective into the design and testing of the NASA crew capsule being built to go out to the asteroids, the moon and ultimately, Mars.Magnus, who prior to flying on Atlantis' final mission spent 134 days on the International Space Station, is supporting the station program and its on-going expeditions.The STS-135 crew members were not the only astronauts working the final space shuttle mission. In addition to the crew's counterparts on board the space station, there were other astronauts heard each and every day of the shuttle flight — live from Mission Control.Since the first U.S. human spaceflight more than 50 years ago, astronauts have served as "capcom," or the capsule communicator — traditionally, the only person in Mission Control to talk to the crew in space. For STS-135, the four shuttle capcoms were Shannon Lucid, Megan McArthur, Stephen Robinson and Barry "Butch" Wilmore.Lucid, who woke the STS-135 crew during their mission with a resounding "Good morning, Atlantis!," retired from NASA in January. A member of the first astronaut class to include women — as well as the first candidates chosen specifically to fly on the shuttle, Lucid flew five times to space herself, including a record-setting stay on board the Russian space station Mir.Robinson, who served as the STS-135 lead capcom, just recently left NASA on June 30 to join the faculty at the University of California, Davis.
Other than this just be as annoying as you can be. Kind of like Li Li Blinding Wind is a very generic, easy to use hero, who for the most part is a healbot battery, with the ocasional blind. She is only ever suited for newbs and...See how annoying she can be? As I was sayingis a very generic hero and can be played like that. However her kit is such, that she can be have fairly unique playstile, in the hands of a pro. More precisly she is very good at baiting enemy heroes into attacking her, thinking she is out of position and easy to kill, and then leaving them blinded and vulnerable to counter agretion. On first glanceprovides a very small buff, however it is significant enough to make any sort of melee hero unable to stick with her, and she can recover from crowd control very quickly. This combined with therfor preventing auto attack damge, means thatis fairly safe positioning near the tank on the frontline, where she can poke the enemy with auto attacks, or even reach the enemy backline for a quick burst with. And this is where you want to be as. She is not a hero who wants to dive the enemy team, nor one that wants to protect and heal her team when they are being dived. Insteadwants to be the target of the enemy team. Her mobility provides her with the perfect baiting mechanism and heer cluch debilitation makes her very hard to kill. Also if you bait an enemy hero on top of you, that lets your tank CC them, while not having to engage the enemy team. This has advantages such as controlling the terain you fight on.In 1v1 situation - during the laneing phase or later into the game, use's mobility to kite enemy melee heroes. Useto damage them, and stutterstep landing auto attacks. Your self sustain can let you trade damage with enemy heroes. If they think they can mess with the cute panda, and are going HAM on you, usefor some extra dps. If you have, you can bait an enemy into thinking you are about to die, so they overextend.
According to historians, the Viking Age began on June 8, A.D. 793, at an island monastery off the coast of northern England. A contemporary chronicle recorded the moment with a brief entry: “The ravages of heathen men miserably destroyed God’s church on Lindisfarne, with plunder and slaughter.” The “heathen men” were Vikings, fierce warriors who sailed from Scandinavia and bore down on their prey in Europe and beyond in sleek, fast-sailing ships. In the centuries that followed, the Vikings’ vessels carried them deep into Russia and as far south as Constantinople, Sicily, and possibly even North Africa. They organized flotillas capable of carrying warriors across vast distances, and terrorized the English, Irish, and French coasts with lightning-fast raids. Exploratory voyages to the west took them all the way to North America. The Vikings’ explosion across Europe and Asia and into the Americas was the result of the right combination of tools, technology, adventurousness, and ferocity. They came to be known as an unstoppable force capable of raiding and trading on four continents, yet our understanding of what led up to that June day on Lindisfarne is surprisingly shaky. A recent discovery on a remote Baltic island is beginning to change that. Two ships filled with slain warriors uncovered on the Estonian island of Saaremaa may help archaeologists and historians understand how the Vikings’ warships evolved from short-range, rowed craft to sailing ships; where the first warriors came from; and how their battle tactics developed. “We all agree these burials are Scandinavian in origin,” says Marge Konsa, an archaeologist at the University of Tartu. “This is our first taste of the Viking era.” Between them, the two boats contain the remains of dozens of men. Seven lay haphazardly in the smaller of the two boats, which was found first. Nearby, in the larger vessel, 33 men were buried in a neat pile, stacked like wood, together with their weapons and animals. The site seems to be a hastily arranged mass grave, the final resting place for Scandinavian warriors killed in an ill-fated raid on Saaremaa, or perhaps waylaid on a remote beach by rivals. The archaeologists believe the men died in a battle some time between 700 and 750, perhaps almost as much as a century before the Viking Age officially began. This was an era scholars call the Vendel period, a transitional time not previously known for far-reaching voyages—or even for sails.

A judge gave me to a relative: I thank God for that. I’m lucky that I was born in the USA and not somewhere where I couldn’t get help. ” Ingrid Pfau sits on a plane with her head against the window. She tells the camera that she’s had 10 seizures since her appointment with Dr. Dielthelm. She smiles into the camera and states she’s excited to meet more people that are trying to combat the misunderstanding of epilepsy. Dr. Jo M. Wilmhurst, MD, Department of Pediatric Neurology in Cape Town, South Africa rummages around his office looking for a file for one of his patients. “South Africa is filled with people with epilepsy that need help. All over Africa people with epilepsy are still being accused of being possessed by spirits because of their epilepsy. Some children are even being shunned from attending school because of it.” Patricio Espinosa, a researcher who has been studying epilepsy in Ecuador says, “We’ve been fighting for the rights of people with epilepsy in the Ecuadorian Rain Forest. They need to be more aware of what is happening to them. We’ve found that people in Ecuador are six times more likely to die if they have epilepsy. Access to care is minimal.” Dr. Daniel H Lowenstein, MD University of California San Francisco speaks about modern methods of curing epilepsy including brain surgery, the Ketogenic diet, and different medicinal options. He talks about how 70% of people with epilepsy can be successfully treated. Shots of crowds in the USA, India, the UK, Ecuador, and South Africa pop up. 1/26th of the people are highlighted in purple. As Dr. Lowenstein says his last line the highlighted people fade into the crowd symbolizing their complete cure of epilepsy. Credits roll. Ingrid meets with Dr. Dielthelm and decides whether or not she wants brain surgery.
I don't know if we'll be able to find many respectable people who can act disrespectfully as the situation demands. Someone's respectable/disrespectable tendencies are pretty much inborn and cannot simply be switched on or off. But I sure would like to see a whole lot less respectable behavior in the face of increasingly outrageous demands.

Can't remember who wrote it. The central thesis, however, was that the core of GamerGate were very socially marginalized people, who could not be whipsawed into compliance by social pressure because they had been socially excluded already and you cannot threaten to take away from someone that which you had previously denied them. You can't threaten to reduce someone's social status if you've already degraded him in social status. This reminds me of a great essay I read on GamerGate, long ago. Can't remember who wrote it.

That the basketball courts of New York’s playgrounds are not as populated as they once were is an observation based firmly on evidence that is anecdotal and totally unscientific. Furthermore, even this evidence is mostly limited to Manhattan. So perhaps these are all Manhattan problems. When I read a report in the Times on the people who buy condos in the Time Warner Center—in brief, extremely rich and not from here—I wasn’t thinking about basketball, but it now occurs to me that the Time Warner Center is less than ten blocks from the projects that provided a fair number of the players at my own childhood basketball court, in Riverside Park at 76th Street. Can billionaires play ball? That is a different city game. I am not claiming that the city’s courts are empty, exactly—up on St. Nicholas Terrace, about ten blocks from where Kareem played, there was a respectable half-court game underway when I visited, but no one had next. One court over, however, was the scene of a roiling game of full court, comprised mostly of kids. The place was not abandoned, yet this was not the world of highly competitive basketball in which so many N.B.A. talents were forged. The courts on Horatio Street and Hudson (where Joakim Noah, age fourteen, a human pencil with an afro, dunked on me) are now devoid of pick-up basketball in the afternoons. That court had been closed for renovations for some time, so perhaps it’s a special case. The Tompkins Square Park courts are mostly empty; the courts on 20th and Second Avenue, where a lot of the Tompkins Square Park crowd sought refuge, are now barren. I don’t even live in New York anymore. I’m there for a few weeks over the winter holidays and for a couple of months in the summer. Was I being paranoid ? Was this just nostalgia, a projection of that terrible undertow of feeling that the world of your childhood is vanishing, which is unique to no sport or city? I can argue against my own case: The court in Central Park (there is one, on the north side of the Great Lawn) is busy; the new courts down by Battery Park City, on the river, both half court and full, are populated by players from all over the city.
Combining the section where I classified investments into assets, commodities, currencies and collectibles with the one where I argued that Bitcoin is a "young" currency allows me to draw the following conclusions: Bitcoin is not an asset class : To those who are carving out a portion of their portfolios for Bitcoin, be clear about why you are doing it. It is not because you want to a diversified portfolio and hold all asset classes, it is because you want to use your trading skills on Bitcoin to supercharge your portfolio returns. Lest you view this as a swipe at cryptocurrencies, I would hasten to add that fiat currencies (like the US dollar, Euro or Yen) are not asset classes either. You cannot value Bitcoin, you can only price it : This follows from the acceptance that Bitcoin is a currency, not an asset or a commodity. Any one who claims to value Bitcoin either has a very different definition of value than I do or is just making up stuff as he or she goes along. It will be judged as a currency : In the long term, the price that you attach to Bitcoin will depend on how well it will performs as a currency. If it is accepted widely as a medium of exchange and is stable enough to be a store of value, it should command a high price. If it becomes gold-like, a fringe currency that investors flee to during crises, its price will be lower. Worse, if it is a transient currency that loses all purchasing power, as it is replaced by something new and different, it will crash and burn. You don't invest in Bitcoin, you trade it : Since you cannot value Bitcoin, you don't have a critical ingredient that you need to be an investor. You can trade Bitcoin and become wealthy doing so, but it is because you are a good trader. Good trader ingredients : To be a successful trader in Bitcoin, you need to recognize that moves in its price will have little do with fundamentals, everything to do with mood and momentum and big price shifts can happen on incremental information. Would I buy Bitcoin at $6,100? No, but not for the reasons that you think. It is not because I believe that it is over valued, since I cannot make that judgment without valuing it and as I noted before, it cannot be valued.
NEW DELHI: Refuting marathon runner OP Jaisha 's claim of official apathy, Athletics Federation of India AFI ) issued a statement saying that it was the athlete and her coach who refused to avail the option of having energy drinks during the race at the Rio Olympics Jaisha on Monday alleged that Indian officials did not arrange for water and energy drinks during her race in the Rio Olympics run under scorching heat despite designated stations being given for the country, a claim denied by Athletics Federation of India. "It was very hot there. I ran in scorching heat. There was no water for us, neither recovery drinks nor food. Only once in 8km did we get water (from Rio organisers) which did not help at all. All the countries had their stalls at every 2km but our country's stall was empty," said Jaisha who finished 89th in Rio Olympics women's marathon event with a below-par timing of 2:47:19.Jaisha collapsed at the finish line after completing the race and had to be rushed to a hospital where her coach Nikolai Snesarev got into an altercation with one of doctors and ended up being detained for half a day by local police.However, the AFI in a statement said: "Each team is allowed to keep their own personalised drinks on the booths, marked in a colour as per the choice of the team and athlete. Accordingly, as per the rule, on the night ahead of women's marathon race, Indian team manager carried 16 empty bottles, eight each for Jaisha and Kavita Raut and visited the duo and their coach Nikolai Snesarev in their room. "The team manager asked them to provide their choice of personalised drink which would then be sealed in their presence and handed over to the organisers for installing them on the booth along with a placard as per the requirement of the athlete.
As described above, everybody hacks everybody else: “digital spying… is largely considered part of the global espionage game.” However, by refusing to acknowledge its own policy and practice, Beijing essentially creates a firewall (a Great Liarwall?) between itself and those seeking to initiate constructive dialogue concerning cyber-security. For example, the Communist Party has steadfastly denied that it engages in any censorship of the Chinese internet, even though it is commonly known even within China that the government regularly engages in this practice, with the phrase “climb the [Great Fire]wall” (pa qiang) – which means to take measures to evade online censorship – long ago having entered everyday use in Chinese. In spite of this demonstrable fact, Beijing’s stance regarding its internet censorship has remained the same: deny, deny, deny. Since discovering that repeated denials in the face of reality and international consensus can actually be remarkably effective in maintaining the status quo and preventing other parties from forcing discussions to progress – as with Russia’s insistence in spite of literal smoking gun evidence that there are not and never have been any officially sanctioned Russian troops or materiel active in illegally occupied eastern Ukraine – autocratic governments appear to have come to the conclusion that there is simply no reason to admit any wrongdoing if they don’t have to. Basically, if opposing parties are not going to take concrete steps to force Beijing or Moscow to let the dialogue move forward, why should they comply? The current state of things in both cases is what works best for the relevant regimes, so they view it as in their strategic interests to maintain the status quo of doing what they want and lying through their teeth that they’re doing otherwise, because they believe that there is nothing that anyone else can – or, more to the point, will – do about it.

That's some good fucking luck you have their, managing to get out before they get you. Listen, we'll try and destroy all data about you ever existing, and you get out of there. Ban this transmission and delete the recording off of the data-logs. You are our only h-- Command cuts out at their last word. It seems the cut-out may have been from a closer source, however Cameron: Two minutes. They had already invaded within two fucking minutes of us leaving. I'm not even sure what kind of god is that nice that they'd save us within that time Todd: Sir, please calm down. We have to get this information to the evacuation point at sector 8 Cameron: Okay, okay. Just give me a minute. Or two. 3 minutes pass, the FTL drive finishes loading, and Josh comes onto the intercom Josh: Captain, the FTL drive has finished loading. Should we go now? Cameron: I know when the drive is ready to go, it comes up my dash-board. There is no need to inform me every-time, god-damn it. Josh: Sorry sir Josh cuts out, Todd seems annoyed Todd: Why did you hire him? He seems kind of dodgy, you know? Cameron: We'll deal with him soon, just not right now. Go and operate the weapons system, and then we'll go. Todd leaves the cockpit and connects to the intercom when he reaches the weapons system Cameron: Okay, everyone ready to jump? Todd, Liz and Josh: we're all ready captain The scene ends with the Kestrel making a jump to the next location ` ` ` END part one
It seems like there needed to be a thread dedicated to the issues that users have been seeing with this recent OTA, as it seems like there has been a few problems with updating if you ever used Motorola's Stock 5.1 Image, I'll begin by listing the steps necessary to successfully apply the OTA update regardless of what software version you are currently running, there is also a TWRP System Image for those of you who don't want to go through the fastboot process or return to stock1) Use TWRP and make a full backup, then connect your phone to your computer and transfer the backup files to your computer2) Reboot your phone into the bootloader, either by doing adb reboot-bootloader or the physical key combination (power off then press and hold the power and volume down key for ~4 seconds)3) Download the Stock 5.1.0-LPA23.12-15.0 Image from here , as the hashes are not what the OTA is expecting for the system.img, and extract the contents to a folder on your computer4) Download the OS relevant attached mfastboot zip and unzip the contents to the same folder on your computer (if you are having issues with mfastboot try reefuge's version and see if it helps!
In this study we include the first mandible recovered the Dmanisi site, D211, the mandible D2735 ( Figure 1b ) that fits with the cranium D 2700 and the mandible D2600 ( Figure 1a ), which fits with the cranium D4500. Although D2735 belongs to a subadult, the upper M3 of D2700 completed gingival eruption and was close to occlusion. We are aware that a possible criticism to this study might the inclusion of D2735 as it belongs to a subadult individual and some parts may have not reached its adult shape. However, as we will explain below the variables we are focusing in are not affected by its age. It has been shown that early in ontogeny, when dental development is still in progress, the differences in mandibular shape at the genus level [50] and at the species level [51] are already established. Indeed, in these species, mandibular shape differences are reached near or before birth. More importantly for our study is that, according to Daegling [52] , “… the spatial relationships between component parts (e.g. ramus and corpus) are established early in ontogeny and remain invariant during growth”. In modern humans, the definitive breadth of the mandible is reached early in ontogeny, since the maximum breadth of the cranium occurs at an age of about 2–3 years and no significant shape differences in the architecture of the mandible are expected after this age [40] , [46] , [53] . Thus, patterns in facial growth in modern human are established in early development [54] – [56] . Bastir and colleagues [57] showed the differences between Neandertals and modern humans during their postnatal ontogeny. The growth trajectory in these species produces drastic changes between the corpus and the ramus due to the vertical growth occurring at the anterior and posterior face [29] , [58] . Bastir et al. [57] suggest that the marked differences in the mandibular ontogeny of Neanderthals and humans are probably related to differences in the anterior face. Furthermore, some studies have shown that the rate of remodeling and rotation of the mandible during the primary dentition and mixed dentition stages is greater than during adolescence, and might play an important role in the determination of adult skeletal and dental relationships [32] , [59] – [61] .
Last month there was a discussion on Python-Dev regarding removal of reference counting to remove the GIL. I hope you forgive me for continuing the debate. I think reference counting is a good feature. It prevents huge piles of garbage from building up. It makes the interpreter run more smoothly. It is not just important for games and multimedia applications, but also servers under high load. Python does not pause to look for garbage like Java or .NET. It only pauses to look for dead reference cycles. This can be safely turned off temporarily; it can be turned off completely if you do not create reference cycles. With Java and .NET, no garbage is ever reclaimed except by the intermittent garbage collection. Python always reclaims an object when the reference count drops to zero whether the GC is enabled or not. This makes Python programs well-behaved. For this reason, I think removing reference counting is a genuinely bad idea. Even if the GIL is evil, this remedy is even worse. I am not a Python core developer; I am a research scientist who use Python because Matlab is (or used to be) a bad programming language, albeit a good computing environment. As most people who have worked with scientific computing know, there are better paradigms for concurrency than threads. In particular, there are message-passing systems like MPI and Erlang, and there are autovectorizing compilers for OpenMP and Fortran 90/95. There are special LAPACK, BLAS and FFT libraries for parallel computer architectures. There are fork-join systems like cilk and java.util.concurrent. Threads seem to be used only because mediocre programmers don't know what else to use. I genuinely think the use of threads should be discouraged. It leads to code that are full of bugs and difficult to maintain - race conditions, deadlocks, and livelocks are common pitfalls. Very few developers are capable of implementing efficient load-balancing by hand. Multi-threaded programs tend to scale badly because they are badly written. If the GIL discourages the abuse of threads, it serves a purpose albeit being evil like the Linux kernel's BKL. Python could be better off doing what tcl does. Allow each process to embed multiple interpreters; run each interpreter in its own thread. Implement a fast message-passing system between the interpreters (e.g. copy-on-write by making communicated objects immutable), and Python would be closer to Erlang than Java.
The main body of the oil rig is built in the shape of an octagon -not something you see very often in legos nor in real life- and making the structure stable while fitting in the number of motors and functions that I did was not easy. Considering the number of 45 degree angles that were present, I'm surprised it turned out as nicely as it did. This octagonal design and the extending legs give it a unique profile, one that is ultimately fictional and completely different from real platforms. Mechanically speaking, it rests on four pneumatically raised legs, each with air suspension and roughly 90 degrees of motorized rotation. The four pumps are controlled via a switch that can be accessed from the side of the platform and the air supply comes from two hand pumps below the battery box. The rotation of the legs is controlled by two XL motors (one per pair of legs) such that they work in unison to turn each of the legs. The legs can be positioned so that they are perpendicular to each other or parallel to either of their respective neighbors. This stabilizes the entire platform in the direction that the legs are aligned to-as such, the perpendicular position is the most stable in general, but other positions can be used when an outside force (such as wind or waves) is set against a particular side of the platform. The rig has a drill arm that can be raised and lowered via one M motor. At the bottom of the arm there is an original Lego drill that spins via gearing and an M motor that is mounted near it. This was the only viable setup as the movement of the drill arm presents a problem in terms of transmitting power to the drill head. The possibility of having an axle (such as 32-long one from the 8421 Mobile Crane) that moves with the arm and then spinning it through a sliding gear was considered but was disregarded after a bit of testing.
STEP 24 Your Next Grind, From 3K Gems to 100K Gems: Just do an Elven run like you did before: buy buildings, click, buy upgrades, do Exchanges other than Elven (you want your FC, remember), going up the Elven Upgrade Tiers as you can afford them. If you're at 3K Gems, and you do a combo after Elven (3,3), but before Heritage, you'll jump up to about 25K-75K gems in the Abdication Treasury based on Royal Exchange count and Elven Luck procs (without Sun Blessing, probably 100K+ gems with), from the 300-500 you were probably at. Wait for the Heritage for a bigger jump. Keep going, even if you aren't waiting. Also...that's within 20 minutes. Don't bother waiting for the Heritage on this one – do Elven Exchanges once you buy the 500 FC upgrade. You won't be around long enough to get the 5K Elven Coins needed. NOTE 24-1: Heavy clicking isn't needed, except during the combos, unless you have Sun Blessing. Here, clicking is only really wanted for Elven Luck procs. Step 25 100K Gems to 1M Gems: Once you hit 100K Gems in your Abdication Treasury, Abdicate and do another Elf run, until you hit between 1M and 10M gems. How long these two runs take will depend on how much clicking you're doing, and if you have Sun Blessing or not. Without Sun Blessing, it'll take a longer. The more clicks you have, the more mana you have as Elves (Elves (3,3) gives mana/second based on total amount of clicks that R). It takes about 2-10 Elven Procs, based on your production, with MB and CtA active for you to hit 1M gems. NOTE 25-1: Heavy clicking isn't needed, except during the combos. Then, click like mad. metadata WARNING: THIS GUIDE CONTAINS SPOILERS! STEP 26 1M Gems - Unlocking More Heritages: Once you hit 1M+ Gems, Abdicate. Your base FC chance is now 15% chance (approximately) with Gem Power upgrade. Now, we're going to unlock the Heritages for the other Factions. Don't buy them, just unlock them. Go in any order you want, but save Angels and Demons for LAST. Note the fancy new upgrade in your inventory: Gem Potency. Unlock Requirement: 1M gems.
Here's hoping James Mangold's big, raucous, and ultrabloody remake of 3:10 to Yuma leads some moviegoers to check out Delmer Daves's beautifully lean, half-century-old original. That classic Western spun a tale of captured outlaw Ben Wade (Glenn Ford)--deadly but disarmingly affable--and the small-time rancher and family man, Dan Evans (Van Heflin), desperate enough to accept the job of helping escort the badman to Yuma prison. Wade, knowing that his gang will be along at any moment to spring him, works at persuading the ultimately lone deputy to accept a bribe, turn his back on "duty," and go home safe and rich to his family. That the outlaw has come to admire his captor intriguingly complicates the suspense.All of the above applies in the new 3:10, but it takes a lot more huffing and puffing to get Wade (Russell Crowe this time) and Evans (Christian Bale) into position for the showdown. Mostly, more is less. To Mangold's credit, his movie doesn't traffic in facile irony or postmodern detachment; it aims to be a straight-up Western and deliver the excitement and charisma the genre's fans are starved for. But recognizing that contemporary viewers might be out of touch with the bedrock simplicity and strength of the genre--not to mention its code of honor--Mangold has supplied both Evans and Wade with a plethora of backstory and "motivations." At the overblown action climax, the crossfire of personal agendas is almost as frenetic as the copious gunplay. (By that point the movie has killed more people than the Lincoln County War.) Best thing about the remake is Russell Crowe's Ben Wade, a Scripture-quoting career villain with an artist's eye and a curiously principled sense of whom and when to murder. As his second-in-command, Ben Foster fairly pirouettes at every opportunity to commit mayhem, and Peter Fonda contributes a fierce portrait of an old Wade adversary turned bounty hunter for the Pinkerton detective agency. --Richard T.

Posted by: Rich Hickey \| May 29, 2008 2:17:26 PM The only reason to drop out of STM is if you need to do something which is not transactional (like print to the screen), and if you're doing something which is not transactional, then you have no business expecting transactional composition to work. I don't see why it's so useful to be able to call something and have it commit "on its own", if you need a transaction to commit, you just add "atomically" in front. It's not like that's a huge deal to avoid that. If you need to compose transactions, you just compose them. The basic point is that the example posted is precisely the very thing that STM solves. If you explicitly opt out of STM by (prematurely?) committing the transaction, then you can't really expect it to do anything for you (just like you can't expect to inherit from a sealed/final class - if you want inheritance, don't mark it as sealed/final, and if you want composability of your transactions, then don't commit them prematurely). As long as you actually write transactions, they will be composable, so the "counter example" that was posted, is not a counter example at all, it's trivially solvable. Posted by: Sebastian \| May 29, 2008 2:32:50 PM Another clarification: What the counter example is saying is essentially "Once I've explicitly demanded that transactional composition stops and the transaction should be run, it won't compose anymore!". I don't see how this is a problem. Posted by: Sebastian \| May 29, 2008 2:37:05 PM MY real complaint isn't composability of transactions - like Rich I believe composability (via nesting) is an absolute requirement. MY complaint is that this whole STM/locking mess misses the point: there's no language support for determining the proper boundaries (proper for correctness! must less performance) on where to insert the 'atomic' boundaries. Putting 'atomic' at the finest level: around each 'Ref' is obviously silly; syntatically correct but useless. Putting 'atomic' at the coarsest level: around 'main' is silly in the other way - a single-threaded program. Putting 'atomic' in the middle requires the programmer to add domain-specific knowledge - and to track how that knowledge applies across his program. I have a weak mind; I like Strong Typing because it allows my domain-specific knowledge to be put in one place (the type system) and the compiler merrily enforces my will across the million-line program.
“Chairman Wheeler’s proposal to regulate the Internet as a public utility is not about net neutrality – it is a power grab for the federal government by the chairman of a supposedly independent agency who finally succumbed to the bully tactics of political activists and the president himself. If the only objective behind the FCC’s new proposal was to protect an open Internet and establish net neutrality rules, we could accomplish that through bipartisan legislation and avoid the years of uncertainty and litigation created by Chairman Wheeler’s radical proposal. Despite my repeated attempts to engage Chairman Wheeler and President Obama in a constructive dialogue, neither have stepped forward to work with Congress on bipartisan rules that prohibit practices such as throttling, blocking, and paid prioritization. “Regulating the Internet through ill-suited and antiquated authorities that were designed for the monopoly phone era will ultimately make the Internet more rigid and less innovative. The FCC’s proposal puts in play new taxes and fees for consumers, an expanded federal government role in determining the direction of future growth and technology development, and more power for Washington over the Internet at a time when there is increasing concern about governments around the globe abusing their authority over the Internet to spy on their own citizens and restrict the free flow of information. This is not good for consumers and is not the vision of an open Internet that Americans want. As the public learns more details about the FCC’s overreaching proposal in the coming days and weeks, I believe that the merits of a legislative solution will become undeniable. I am determined to work with my colleagues to find a better path forward regardless of what the FCC decides.”
Is sex education about knowing the anatomy and physiology of human body, or about the act of sex, or about reproduction and family life, or about prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy? Is giving sex education equal to giving permission of engaging in sex? One sex educator at my son's school told the parents "I am not planning to tell your children whether or not they should not engage in sex, or how to do it but in case they decide to do it they should know how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy". At present the sex education is incomplete as it does not cover the morality associated with sex, sexual dysfunctions and deviations and the institution of marriage. One of the basic questions is , do children need sex education? Do you teach a duck how to swim or just put it in water and let it swim. After all, for thousands of years men and women are having sex without any formal education. In may traditional civilizations, sex education starts after the marriage with trial and error. Some couples learn it faster than others and do it better than others, due to difference in sexual perception and expression of one partner. In my opinion having dozen children is not necessarily a proof of love. An appropriate and healthy sex education is crucial to the fulfilment of a happy marriage. With regards to the questions who should impart sex education, I believe everyone has to play his or her role. The parent as a whole have to assume a more responsible role; especially the father has a duty to be able to answer his son's questions and the mother to her daughter's. We can hardly influence the sex education at school or by the media which I call "VD- AIDS And Teenage Pregnancy Education", but we can supplement that with some ethical and moral dimension and add family love and responsibility. Apart from these sources, some role can be played by Sunday school teachers, the family physician, the paediatrician and the clergy. Within a family the elder sister has a duty towards the younger one and the elder brother has for the younger one. Sex Education in American Schools In every American school, public or private, sex education is being given from grade 2 to 12. The projected 1990 cost to the nation will be $2 Billion per year.
A good example is the use of the "state secrets" privilege to suppress evidence in the case of Sibel Edmonds, who was fired by the F.B.I. for reporting security breaches and other official misconduct in the Bureau's translator services division. Similar suppression of justice by a foreign government would be called by it's rightful name. For most practical purposes, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution has been relegated to the dustbin of history by the Supreme Court, but the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." A naive person might reason that a common-law rule of evidence (which is neither mentioned in, nor implied by, the language in our Constitution) could not be used as a basis for obstructing those rights which are delineated in our Constitution. However, the "state secrets" privilege is an extra-constitutional construct that can be used and has been used to nullify the Bill of Rights. Contrary to procedures outlined by the Supreme Court related to evaluation of the "state secrets" privilege, many judges (including the judge who presided over the case of Sibel Edmonds) do not thoroughly examine the evidence in question to determine whether the assertion of the "state secrets" privilege by the Government is valid, and many judges (including the judge who presided over the case of Sibel Edmonds) do not rigorously analyze whether a lawsuit might succeed in the absence of the evidence which is subject to suppression. Despite the fact that court decisions have made it almost impossible for plaintiffs to contest the legality of the assistance obtained by the Federal Government from the telecommunications providers, Mr. Mukasey does not have faith in using the "state secrets" privilege as a method of avoiding the embarrassment which would result if illegal activities of the Bush Administration are disclosed to the public via court proceedings. In his op-ed, Mr. Mukasey addressed the retroactive immunity for telecommunications providers included in the version of FISA legislation approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee:
Conceding to this view of the subject the utmost that can be claimed for it by those most easily satisfied with the amount of understanding of truth which ought to accompany the belief of it; even so, the argument for free discussion is no way weakened. For even this doctrine acknowledges that mankind ought to have a rational assurance that all objections have been satisfactorily answered; and how are they to be answered if that which requires to be answered is not spoken? or how can the answer be known to be satisfactory, if the objectors have no opportunity of showing that it is unsatisfactory? If not the public, at least the philosophers and theologians who are to resolve the difficulties, must make themselves familiar with those difficulties in their most puzzling form; and this cannot be accomplished unless they are freely stated, and placed in the most advantageous light which they admit of. The Catholic Church has its own way of dealing with this embarrassing problem. It makes a broad separation between those who can be permitted to receive its doctrines on conviction, and those who must accept them on trust. Neither, indeed, are allowed any choice as to what they will accept; but the clergy, such at least as can be fully confided in, may admissibly and meritoriously make themselves acquainted with the arguments of opponents, in order to answer them, and may, therefore, read heretical books; the laity, not unless by special permission, hard to be obtained. This discipline recognises a knowledge of the enemy's case as beneficial to the teachers, but finds means, consistent with this, of denying it to the rest of the world: thus giving to the élite more mental culture, though not more mental freedom, than it allows to the mass. By this device it succeeds in obtaining the kind of mental superiority which its purposes require; for though culture without freedom never made a large and liberal mind, it can make a clever nisi prius advocate of a cause. But in countries professing Protestantism, this resource is denied; since Protestants hold, at least in theory, that the responsibility for the choice of a religion must be borne by each for himself, and cannot be thrown off upon teachers. Besides, in the present state of the world, it is practically impossible that writings which are read by the instructed can be kept from the uninstructed.
Should it bugs-out, your game is damaged, and you should revert to previous saves. For the safest measure, do NOT play in survival with this feature as you need lots of saves to fall-back on, as well as i would advise you to pop the console out, and check upon your Actor-Value 0000312 "WeaponSpeedMult", and it should be only between 0.1 and 1.1, and mustn't have negative or positive values. Though it could go up more than 1.1, it should return to 0.1 at least.Lastly, if you ever find that Chaingun is buggy or jittery, try resetting your actor value 312, and have it on 1 via player.setav 1The Dispel mechanism is operated by a looping timer that executes every 0.2s, checking if the weapon has the right attributes, such as a Chaingun and of a specific barrel, else it will dispel. If the MGEF dies, so does the timer and will no longer re-execute. That being said, this is a dirty, and potentially buggy technique, albeit so far the only known way to detect whether a certain attribute is lost as opposed of "Dispel on Keywords" which dispel MGEF on acquisition. As such, i could not make a script that will discern specific weapons, thus it will still be shareable between Chainguns of barrels.-------------------------Shoots while winding up to maximum rate, this has a completely slower "wind up" time, of 3s vs 1s of the original, but has increased damage. Initially the minigun shoots at 10% of the maximum speed, with each consecutive shots increasing that into maximum at around 3 seconds. This means you have to use vats several times to get up to speed.
"The U.N. statement humiliated North Korea internationally, and that's why North Korea angrily reacted to it," said Atsuhito Isozaki, assistant professor of North Korean politics at Keio University in Japan. "Since China and Russia supported the statement, North Korea feels betrayed." However, Prof. Yoo Ho-yeol of Korea University in Seoul said Pyongyang will find it difficult to boycott the talks entirely, since that would only serve to further isolate the impoverished country, one of the world's poorest. China appealed for calm. "We hope the relevant parties will proceed from the overall interest, exercise calmness and restraint," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday. South Korea, expressing "deep regret," also decided Tuesday to fully join the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative, a program launched in 2003 to halt the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the presidential office said.

And her extreme immigration policies, as also laid out by American victims in Cleveland, will cause the preventable deaths of countless more — while putting all residents, from all places, at greater risk of terrorism. As Bernie Sanders said on numerous occasions, Hillary Clinton suffers from “bad judgement.” She is not qualified to serve as Commander in Chief.”– Donald J. Trump
The world’s eyes are on a two-day European Union summit on March 17-18, during which the details of a draft Turkey-EU deal, which aims at curbing the bloc’s worst migrant crisis since World War II, will be debated ahead of a possible deal.Turkey and the European Union reached a draft agreement on March 7 in another EU summit, during which the sides provisionally agreed to decrease the migrant influx into the EU in exchange for visa liberalization for Turkish citizens and a boost in Turkey’s accession talks to the bloc.According to the deal, Turkey would take back all of the migrants crossing to the EU from Turkey, whereas for each migrant Turkey takes, the EU would take one Syrian refugee from Turkey.Speaking before the summit, Greek Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades said that a compromise was possible on an EU-Turkey deal, days after threatening to block the accord over his country’s tense relations with Turkey.“There are obstacles, but I do hope that during the deliberations that will follow at the European Council, there is going to be a compromise,” Anastasiades said on March 17.Anastasiades said Greek Cyprus would “not be the obstacle” and blamed Turkey for failing to recognize his government.But he added: “I do believe there might be some other alternatives which are giving us the way out.”Asked what they were, he replied: “You will have to wait until tomorrow,” when the EU leaders are set to meet Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu in Brussels.Davutoğlu is due to join EU leaders for a breakfast on March 18, at which Tusk hopes to finalize the deal.At talks with EU Council President Donald Tusk in Nicosia on March 15, Anastasiades said he would not accept Turkey’s demands unless it met its obligations.On March 17, Tusk, the chairman of the EU summit, said he was “more cautious than optimistic” about the chances of reaching a deal with Turkey.“I am cautiously optimistic but frankly, more cautious than optimistic,” Tusk told reporters before the leaders sat down for talks in Brussels.
Geoff Marcy, one of the most prolific exoplanet discovers, started his professional work studying magnetic fields of stars before deciding to tackle “a question I care about at a gut level,” the search for planets. Bill Borucki, the principal investigator for Kepler, got his start at NASA’s Ames Research Center in the 1960s developing heat shields for the space agency’s manned spacecraft; it was only much later did his career turn towards exoplanets and spearheading what became Kepler. This focus on the people as much as the science—and there’s still plenty of science in this book, as Lemonick describes the discoveries of and state of knowledge regarding exoplanets—is a wise one. After all, it’s not the telescopes or spacecraft who discover exoplanets, it’s the people who develop the instruments, plan the observations, and reduce the data, seeking that tiny variation in spectral lines or the minute dimming of starlight that provides evidence that one or planets orbit that star. Lemonick also does a fine job painting vivid portraits of the exoplaneteers he profiles, tracing both their career paths and discoveries as well as what motivated them to pursue this field in the first place. Moreover, such an approach offers a longer shelf life for the book, so to speak, that simply chronicling the discoveries. Of course, there are recent discoveries of interest that don’t make it into Mirror Earth, published in October. Those findings include the discovery of the closest known exoplanet to date, orbiting Alpha Centauri B; and the somewhat controversial discovery of five exoplanets orbiting another nearby star, Tau Ceti. That, though, is to be expected; indeed, there may be discoveries announced this week at the AAS meeting that put this review out of date! Those new discoveries, though, don’t invalidate the heart of this book: the quest to find Earth-like worlds around other stars, and the diverse, and growing, group of astronomers involved in that search.

It is important to clarify the notions of gender and social individuality that Witt employs. First, gender is a social position that “cluster[s] around the engendering function … women conceive and bear … men beget” (Witt 2011a, 40). These are women and men's socially mediated reproductive functions (Witt 2011a, 29) and they differ from the biological function of reproduction, which roughly corresponds to sex on the standard sex/gender distinction. Witt writes: “to be a woman is to be recognized to have a particular function in engendering, to be a man is to be recognized to have a different function in engendering” (2011a, 39). Second, Witt distinguishes persons (those who possess self-consciousness), human beings (those who are biologically human) and social individuals (those who occupy social positions synchronically and diachronically). These ontological categories are not equivalent in that they possess different persistence and identity conditions. Social individuals are bound by social normativity, human beings by biological normativity. These normativities differ in two respects: first, social norms differ from one culture to the next whereas biological norms do not; second, unlike biological normativity, social normativity requires “the recognition by others that an agent is both responsive to and evaluable under a social norm” (Witt 2011a, 19). Thus, being a social individual is not equivalent to being a human being. Further, Witt takes personhood to be defined in terms of intrinsic psychological states of self-awareness and self-consciousness. However, social individuality is defined in terms of the extrinsic feature of occupying a social position, which depends for its existence on a social world. So, the two are not equivalent: personhood is essentially about intrinsic features and could exist without a social world, whereas social individuality is essentially about extrinsic features that could not exist without a social world.
The specifically capitalist mode of production, the development of the productive power of labour corresponding to it, and the change thence resulting in the organic composition of capital, do not merely keep pace with the advance of accumulation, or with the growth of social wealth. They develop at a much quicker rate, because mere accumulation, the absolute increase of the total social capital, is accompanied by the centralisation of the individual capitals of which that total is made up; and because the change in the technological composition of the additional capital goes hand in hand with a similar change in the technological composition of the original capital. With the advance of accumulation, therefore, the proportion of constant to variable capital changes. If it was originally say 1:1, it now becomes successively 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 7:1, &c., so that, as the capital increases, instead of ½ of its total value, only 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, &c., is transformed into labour- power, and, on the other hand, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 7/8 into means of production. Since the demand for labour is determined not by the amount of capital as a whole, but by its variable constituent alone, that demand falls progressively with the increase of the total capital, instead of, as previously assumed, rising in proportion to it. It falls relatively to the magnitude of the total capital, and at an accelerated rate, as this magnitude increases. With the growth of the total capital, its variable constituent or the labour incorporated in it, also does increase, but in a constantly diminishing proportion. The intermediate pauses are shortened, in which accumulation works as simple extension of production, on a given technical basis. It is not merely that an accelerated accumulation of total capital, accelerated in a constantly growing progression, is needed to absorb an additional number of labourers, or even, on account of the constant metamorphosis of old capital, to keep employed those already functioning. In its turn, this increasing accumulation and centralisation becomes a source of new changes in the composition of capital, of a more accelerated diminution of its variable, as compared with its constant constituent.

In part, science of today has to overcome the scientific breakthroughs of previous years because we've advanced internal combustion engines, because we're so good at burning carbon that we take out of the ground, we did it blindly without any consequences of, that it might totally affect the future of the planet. Now, the numbers—and I've had to change my slides three times last year of the amount of carbon that's going into the atmosphere and staying there—that number is now 4.2 billion tons of carbon. It's accelerating faster than anybody projected. My slide at the start of 2007 was 3.5 billion tons of carbon. It's expected perhaps with increasing industrialization of China and India, within 20 to 40 years, that number could be on the order of 20 billion tons of CO2. There are several environmental scientists that have argued that there is almost nothing we can do to reverse that, though. We may be fixed in our destiny regardless of whether we have new approaches. I don't like that scenario. We have to try and do something. I hope those people are wrong with their projections. If we can do two things—number one: replace using the carbon we're taking out of the ground by using renewable sources, and the best renewable source we have is energy from the sun. Over 100 million terawatts a day hit the earth. We have cells that capture carbon back from the environment. And it turns out, chemically and biologically in the lab we can make anything in the lab that come out of the ground in terms of carbon. We can make octane. We can make diesel fuel. We can make jet fuel. We can make butanol. Ethanol, humanity's been that forever through simple fermentation. These are ideas that are slow to catch on. Very much in the notion that you were talking about. People are much more concerned that there might be new consequences of engineering biology than this potential disastrous route we're on—totally changing our atmosphere, maybe making it impossible ultimately for our species to survive. That's a far more dangerous experiment.
The award was criticised by some American and European Jewish groups, while other groups offered support for the award. Parties opposed to the award included AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, the European Jewish Congress, and John R. Bolton. [81] John R. Bolton, the former US Ambassador to the United Nations, stated that those in the administration who recommended her either ignored her anti-Israel history, or missed it entirely. [82] On the other hand, a group of Israeli human rights organizations including the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Bimkom, B'Tselem, Gisha, Hamoked, Physicians for Human Rights and Yesh Din, stated "as leaders of a sector within Israeli civil society that monitors and often criticizes government and military policy for violating human rights, we do not see such actions as plausible reason for denying Mrs. Robinson the award. "[81] In response to the protests by some Jewish groups and commentators, Robinson said she was "surprised and dismayed" and that "this is old, recycled, untrue stuff," "I have been very critical of the Palestinian side. My conduct continues to be on the side of tackling anti-Semitism and discrimination," Robinson said. [83] "There's a lot of bullying by certain elements of the Jewish community. They bully people who try to address the severe situation in Gaza and the West Bank. Archbishop Desmond Tutu gets the same criticism," Robinson also said. [84] In an open letter to Robinson, Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, rejected Robinson's claim at being misunderstood or bullied by those who criticize her role in Durban. He said that she failed to confront purveyors of anti-Israel rhetoric. "You may not have been the chief culprit of the Durban debacle, but you will always be its preeminent symbol", he added. [81] When asked about the opposition to the award by AIPAC and other Jewish groups, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs replied "Mary Robinson was the first female President of Ireland, and she is somebody whom we are honoring as a prominent crusader of women's rights in Ireland and throughout the world. "[85]
Winston Smith is an intellectual, a member of the Outer Party (middle class), who lives in the ruins of London and grew up during post-World War II England, that is, following the revolution and civil war, after which the Party assumed power. At some point, his parents and sister disappeared, and he was placed in an orphanage for training and subsequent employment as an Outer Party civil servant. He lives an austere existence in a one-room flat on a subsistence diet of black bread and synthetic meals washed down with Victory-brand gin. He keeps a journal of negative thoughts and opinions about the Party and Big Brother, which, if discovered by the Thought Police, would warrant death. The flat has an alcove, beside the telescreen, where he apparently cannot be seen, and thus believes he has some privacy, while writing in his journal: "Thoughtcrime does not entail death. Thoughtcrime IS death." The telescreens (in every public area, and the quarters of the Party's members), have hidden microphones and cameras. These devices, alongside informers, permit the Thought Police to spy upon everyone and so identify anyone who might endanger the Party's régime; children, most of all, are indoctrinated to spy and inform on suspected thought-criminals – especially their parents. At the Minitrue, Winston is an editor responsible for historical revisionism, concording the past to the Party's ever-changing official version of the past; thus making the government of Oceania seem omniscient. As such, he perpetually rewrites records and alters photographs, rendering the deleted people as "unpersons"; the original documents are incinerated in a "memory hole." Despite enjoying the intellectual challenges of historical revisionism, he becomes increasingly fascinated by the true past and tries to learn more about it.
The truth is it is a contest for power, not for liberty. Will the men composing the small states be less free than those composing the larger?" Even if it were true that the condition of being a citizen of a state with a small population entails such grievous disadvantages that, to correct for them, the very votes of such citizens must be assigned a greater weight than the votes of other Americans, how much is enough? Are the special needs of people who live in small states—people who can, after all, escape their condition by moving somewhere else—greater than the special needs of people who are short, or people who are disabled, or (more to the point of American history) people who are black? Here's a little thought experiment, inspired by Dahl's reflections. Imagine, if you can, that African-Americans were represented "fairly" in the Senate. They would then have twelve senators instead of, at present, zero, since black folk make up twelve per cent of the population. Now imagine that the descendants of slaves were afforded the compensatory treatment to which the Constitution entitles the residents of small states. Suppose, in other words, that African-Americans had as many senators to represent them as the Constitution allots to the twelve per cent of Americans who live in the least populous states. There would be forty-four black senators. How's that for affirmative action? Dahl is content, in this little book, to point out the grotesqueness of the Senate in the light of elementary democratic principles. There have been large historical consequences, too. At the moment, admittedly, the Senate is not a particularly unpopular institution. In contrast to the House, the Senate has many members who are widely known, so it has a human face. Liberals like the way the Senate derailed President Bush's plan to turn the Alaska wilderness into an oil patch. Conservatives like the way it thwarted President Clinton's health-care proposal. But, as these examples suggest, the Senate is essentially a graveyard. Its record, especially over the past century and a half, makes disheartening reading.
Exterior shots of Paddy's Pub are shot at the Starkman Building on 544 Mateo Street in Los Angeles. The show began as a short film idea written by Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton about a man telling his friend he might have cancer, while the friend is only intent on trying to borrow a cup of sugar for the "shitload of coffee" he has made. This was then developed into a pilot called It's Always Sunny on TV and was shot on a digital camcorder by Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, and Rob McElhenney. It was believed the pilot was shot with a budget of just $200, but Day would later comment, "We shot it for nothing...I don't know where this $200 came from...We were a bunch of kids with cameras running around shooting each other and [the] next thing you know, we're eleven years in and we're still doing the show. "[5] This pilot was shopped by the actors around various studios, their pitch being simply showing the DVD of the pilot to executives. After viewing the pilot, FX Network ordered the first season. Although it is often stated publicly that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was one of the first shows to be shot in 24p standard-definition video, using Panasonic's DVX100 MiniDV prosumer video camera, from the sixth season forward, the show was shot in 24p using high-definition video cameras. Danny DeVito joined the cast in the first episode of the second season, playing the father of Dennis (played by Glenn Howerton) and Dee (played by Kaitlin Olson). Much of the filming locations for the show take place in Los Angeles. The exterior of Paddy's Pub is located at the Starkman Building on 544 Mateo Street in Los Angeles. In March 2017, after the conclusion of the twelfth season, Glenn Howerton revealed he might not return to the series, due to working on other projects. [6] In June 2018, when FX announced the premiere date for season 13, it was confirmed that Howerton would return to the series. [7]
I simply watched the replays one time, and then recorded my thoughts on the games and key parts where I thought indicated suspicious play/obvious maphacking parts....but really, all you need to do is watch the replays and you should be able to see why.Seriously, justThe two opponents he played in both replays are also NA accounts:Replay #1 - WhosTheSmuRf http://sc2ranks.com/us/3569877/WhosTheSmuRf - cannot find battle.net link, he probably name changed, so I don't know what it is nowReplay #2 - WatanabeMayuThe things you should notice:-Build openers-Blind countering builds-Re-positioning of units to intercept particular units/armies in both games-Camera stays on his base the majority of the game, and also "locked' for a particular time frame in certain areas-HUGE lack of scoutingBut if that's not enough to prove it... how about:-APM Skyrocketing to 550~ish in battles. Please show me replays of all the high level pros in SC2 that get this high.Or better yet,(apm goes above 350+++). For this example, refer to Replay #2 @ around 20 or so minutes when the Zerg tries to counter the 3rd while HRGZack is killing his bases off.Now why is this a big deal? Well, for those of you saying, "who cares, he'll be knocked out first round", or, "well if there was anyone else who didn't qualify that is "deserving" it's not like they deserve to be there since they'll probably just lose first round"--- that's not the point. The point is someone cheating the system is getting freebies to an event plenty of other players work hard to attend. Believe me, there are still plenty of players who did not qualify who do honestly probably deserve to go. Players who worked hard to attain GM/High Masters+.Worst of all, Blizzard is paying for his expenses.Also, a little added extra:Hotkey/APM comparisons of HRGZack and other known maphackers.A TL search with content of HRGZack (for those of you lazy! ): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=hrgzack&t=c&f=-1&u=&gb=date&d=
(U) Zhang's downfall appears to be among Liaoning Province's most prominent corruption cases since that of Zhang Shusen in 2007. Zhang, the former chief of the province's Food and Drug Administration, was sentenced in October to 15 years in prison for embezzlement and accepting bribes from pharmaceutical companies manufacturing substandard products, among others. IMPLICATIONS ------------ 12. (C) Northeast China appears to be witnessing some of its highest-level corruption prosecutions since 2004-2005, when a massive government post-selling scandal in Heilongjiang Province triggered the downfall of over 400 officials, including former governor Tian Fengshan, provincial Organization Department chief Han Guizhi, and a number of judges. Many northeasterners today, however, remain cynical or in the dark. Events over the past year do not suggest a concerted effort to combat the region's corrosive corruption in many areas of official life. Investigations and prosecutions seem to be ad hoc instead of concertedly systematic. Domestic reporting within northeast China on many of the cases has been either deliberately downplayed or entirely absent, as in the case of Jilin's High Court judges. In many instances, the most detailed domestic reporting has been "cross-regional" in nature, carried out by, and only appearing in, non- northeastern Chinese news sources, thereby limiting the local public's exposure to events. Northeastern Chinese businessmen, lawyers, journalists, academics and ordinary citizens still tell us that official corruption remains widespread in the region, a fact of life in everything from securing schooling for their children to obtaining approvals for construction projects. 13. (C) Worth watching in the period ahead will be the impact of the Jilin cases on the fortunes of provincial Party Secretary Wang Min and Governor Han Changfu. Both are out-of-towners who were brought into northeast China by Beijing with a mandate to, among other things, clean up the province. SWICKMAN
We finally made it up to the pass and got a glimpse of what the other side had to offer. A massive glacier called the Queest-Alb covered the front side of the mountain, as a result of which the trail partly followed the ridge of the mountain. The ridge, however did not continually remain flat, which meant that there was no option but to traverse the glacier. Some crevasses had formed in the glacier owing to the summer temperatures, however they were more than a 100 feet away from where we’d be traversing, giving us enough time to stop ourselves if in case we started sliding down. The temperature that day stayed above a pleasant 70° allowing me to keep climbing in my shorts. The ridge part of the trail and the Queest-Alb glacier on the left It was early August, so moats had begun to form between the surface of the mountain and the icy cold wall of the glacier. Moats are traversable to get past glaciers, contingent on the ice wall being not very tall and there being enough room to walk between the two surfaces. My instinct told me to bypass the first leg of the trail on the glacier by squeezing through the moat while Andrew decided to take the glacier route upfront. Soon enough I was forced to get on the glacier since the moat had reached a dead end with an ice wall that had yet not melted. Putting my micro-spikes on I climbed up and started following Andrew, taking small steps at first, gripping my ice axe with an intense focus on what I was stepping on next. A moat Despite the mental and physical strength it took to reach the ridge section of the trail, to my amazement this date with danger was exciting! I took off the spikes and continued to enjoy what I had accomplished. I was proud of the fact that I was looking forward to the next glacier section without having any aversion.
A global winter is the major export that the free world trade policy sells abroad. The two sides of the same coin cast in a mint run by the same cartel won’t bring relief to the victims of this tempest. With legal tender laws, the typhoon of inquisition will save all from the offense of self-sufficient provisions. In the realm of the compassionate feel your pain monopoly, only rations stamped with the official seal of approval, are allowed for rescue missions. Altruism = LOVE DC. The most sacred of all doctrines is that the omniscient elite culture is indispensable. It claims to be legitimate because choice “A” appears different from “B” while both use the same language to spell the synonymous program that directs conduct and shapes permitted behavior. Opposition to the order of top down benevolence means you must be a spurned lover and your punishment requires additional sensitivity training. The magnet that attracts parasites to tutor in the art of Casanova adventurism is seeded more in the lust for sway than the spontaneity to spoon. Only in the hub of incest does a criminal congress pretend to be capable of unrequited love, while insisting on total devotion. Elevating the caustic as essential is a seduction that only a prolific adulterer is capable of performing. A Manipuri political dance blends the religious festival with the indispensable socio-cultural order. In “God We Trust” is substituted with only the State do we obey! LOVE DC is the national hymn. Fantasy is the perfume for a sullied reality. Disguising the fragrance won’t remove the rot. The need for cleansing can’t be attained through a douche. The therapeutic remedy must remove all the decay from the cavity in order to regain health. The hollow space that infects our lives is a disease. It is not hallowed, but terminable. Yet, career politicians have a knack for deceit that has no limits, while the populace is disposed to deceive themselves that the system is tolerable. Is this a love hate relationship or simply gang rape that goes unreported? Do you really LOVE DC? Most people will answer I DO! That’s the beauty of the affair. Divorce is not an option for the insecure. The forlorn want a suitor and the federal bureaucracy is a comfortable roommate. It doesn’t matter that the rent is paid wholly by the ‘chattel citizen’, while the possessions are controlled by the civil service hack.
RANCHI: Union minister Ramvilas Paswan on Sunday predicted doom for the Congress-JD(U)-RJD alliance in Bihar even as its chief minister Nitish Kumar called on Rahul Gandhi at his residence in Delhi.At a press conference in Ranchi, the minister for consumer affairs, food and public distribution said no alliance was possible between Nitish and Lalu. Little did Paswan know that hours after his speech, the JD(U) and RJD chiefs would agree to contest the Bihar assembly elections in alliance. "Though Nitish and Lalu are negotiating an alliance, they are holding flower in one hand and dagger in another, which implies their readiness to stab each other in the back," he said.The minister said the duo's alliance talks would end in "fierce fight". "I know Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav inside out," he said.Paswan said the alliance talks have little consensus and more differences. "Raghubansh Prasad Singh (RJD vice-president) is not ready to declare Kumar as the chief ministerial candidate of the alliance. Lalu has ego problems with Nitish," he added.Top leaders of RJD and JD(U) held back-to- back meetings in Delhi on Sunday to sort out the differences. Congress helped the two parties reach consensus. "Lalu should know that he can not become CM. The Yadavs no longer consider him their leader. Nitish does not have a vote bank. Lalu is out on bail. They have no option, but to try to cobble together an alliance," Ramvilas said, ridiculing reported fight for mangoes between Nitish Kumar and former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi.He also took potshots at failed Janta Parivar merger. "I appeal to the people of Bihar to shun caste politics and vote for development. The NDA will form the next majority government in Bihar," he said.He, however, dodged questions on NDA chief ministerial candidate for Bihar elections. "Narendra Modi is our leader. Whosoever Modiji names as the CM candidate will be acceptable to us," he said.
As there are not many examples or explanations on how to write Perl 6 yet, a lot of things you will need to learn by reading the specs. That can be hard as it is very dense. Then you go out to experiment and you might quickly find that things don't work as the spec says. As someone who is just learning Perl 6 it is hard to tell when did you misunderstand the specs and when did you just bump into a bug in the implementation or a feature that has not been implemented yet? Resources It can be frustrating but there are a couple of very good resources to help you. Specs and spec-tests First of all the specs, the spec-test suit and their integration. Both the specs (the Synopsis documents) and the unit tests live in the Pugs Subversion repository. Using a web browser the specs can be read here: Perl 6 spec in the Pugs repository. and the spec-tests are here: Perl 6 spec-tests in the Pugs repository organized according to the chapters of the specs which in turn follow the order of the Camel book. Of course you can check then out using the svn command and read the specs using perldoc or your favorite text editor. The best view though might be the integration of the two on Perl cabal. If you click on the word "Synopsis" in the first clickable column - for some reason all the links are called just like that - you'll reach the a HTML version of the relevant chapter from the specs integrated with the tests. In every test file there are comments saying which part of the spec are they testing. These pages are build using those smart links so you can click on links such as this one: - Show t/spec/S02-literals/quoting.t lines 2558 (no results) - and see the relevant tests. So you can read the spec and then see examples. You can also see if those tests were successful or not or if they are being skipped. The test suite has comments such as this: #?rakudo skip 'nested curlies in q{...}' meaning that the next test - a call to ok() or is() or some similar testing function - or the next block of tests should be skipped on Rakudo. That usually mean Rakudo does not understand that code, sometimes even cannot parse it.
Days after a claimed 3D design drawing of the upcoming "iPhone 8" appeared, frequent Weibo leaker KK has shared a different dimensional drawing and renderings showing a device that is somewhat smaller in size than the previous leak. The veracity of the new drawing can not be confirmed, but KK has on several occasions shared accurate details about previous devices.This new iPhone 8 leak shows a device that measures 137.54 mm tall by 67.54 mm wide, nearly identical to the iPhone 7's 138.3 mm x 67.1 mm body. The thickness of the iPhone 8 is not shown on the drawing.According to the diagram, the iPhone 8's display measures 5.768 inches on the diagonal and will indeed cover nearly the entire front of the device. There appears to be only a 4 mm bezel around all four sides of the display, with over half of that being the 2.5D curved glass at the edges and the remainder appearing to be the device's frame around the sides.The drawing shows a narrow earpiece at the top of the device's front, with various cameras, sensors, and other components on either side of the earpiece. Those components would likely include a front-facing camera, small microphone hole, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, and the rumored 3D sensor.All of these components appear to be embedded within the display area itself, and while the accompanying rendered mockups based on the drawing show the earpiece appearing as a physical slit within the display area, the camera and other sensors are not depicted and it is unclear how they would appear in reality.With the display filling the entire front of the device, there is no dedicated Home button and thus no visible Touch ID sensor. Apple has been rumored to be trying to build Touch ID into the iPhone's display, but the company has reportedly been struggling with perfecting the technology and thus could resort to putting the sensor on the rear of the device. One of the renderings shows the rear of the device with no obvious dedicated Touch ID sensor, although there is no corresponding dimensional drawing of the rear.Notably, the rendering of the rear of the alleged iPhone 8 again shows a vertical dual camera, this time with the LED flash placed between the two cameras.

India's forecasting of the monsoon - the crop-nourishing seasonal rains that are the lifeblood for farmers in the country of 1.3 billion people - is getting a high-tech makeover.Jettisoning a statistical method introduced under British colonial rule in the 1920s, India's meteorology office is spending $60 million on a new supercomputer to improve the accuracy of one of the world's most vital weather forecasts in time for next year's rains.The new system, based on a US model tweaked for India, requires immense computing power to generate three-dimensional models to help predict how the monsoon is likely to develop.Experts say better forecasting could help India raise its farm output by nearly 15 percent, by helping farmers tweak the best time to sow, irrigate or apply fertilizer to crops and if rains fail plan state-wide measures. This would be a major boon for a country already either the world's biggest or second-biggest producer and consumer of rice, wheat, sugar and cotton. "If everything goes well, by 2017 we'll make this dynamical model operational by replacing the statistical model," said M. Rajeevan, the top scientist in the ministry of earth sciences, which oversees the weather office on a 30-acre campus in the heart of New Delhi.Mr Rajeevan declined to name the companies the bureau was talking to obtain the new supercomputer, but said it would be 10 times faster than the existing one supplied by IBM.The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues forecasts for the country as a whole and five regions, though does not give separate ones for the country's 29 states.Because of India's size, one national forecast is of little help to farmers spread across diverse climatic zones. "I'll cherish the day they'll come up with a forecast for my state. It's going to mitigate our risks and help us plan our crop better," said Dharmendra Kumar, whose farm is in Uttar Pradesh.The IMD, set up in 1875, produced its first monsoon forecast in 1886 after the famine of the 1870s.Back then, it relied on melting snow in the Himalayas to predict rains. Early forecasters also observed plants and animals, and consulted almanacs.Now, about 5,000 IMD employees gather data, obtained from radar, observatories, ships, sensors and satellites, for the weather office, where staff peer at computer screens flickering with charts, graphs and multi-coloured maps of India.In 2015, the IMD accurately forecast a second straight drought year, in contrast to predictions of bountiful rains by Skymet, India's only private forecaster.
Consolidation 'He set out for Britain', Hadrian's biographer tells us, 'and there he put right many abuses and was the first to build a wall 80 miles long to separate the barbarians and the Romans.' Hadrian's Wall was not a defensive structure. The Roman army at the time did not fight behind fixed defences. Equally, if it was intended as a line of customs and police posts - a controlled border - it was an extraordinarily elaborate and expensive one. So what was is for? There seems little doubt that the wall, like other great Roman frontier monuments was as much a propaganda statement as a functional facility. Instead of battles, he gave the empire bath-houses; instead of trophies, temples and theatres. It was a symbolic statement of Roman grandeur and technique at the empire's furthest limit, and a marking out of the point in the landscape where civilisation stopped and the barbarian wilderness began. Hadrian's travels took him across the empire. Everywhere - in Rome, France, Spain, Africa, Greece, Turkey, Egypt - he raised great monuments. Instead of battles, he gave the empire bath-houses. Instead of trophies, temples and theatres. Most of the ruins we see today visiting the great classical cities of the Mediterranean are of public buildings erected in the second century golden age of imperial civilisation inaugurated by Hadrian. Each one made a set of statements. In its functionality, it helped define the Roman lifestyle and what it meant to be 'civilised'. In its towering size and richness, it spoke of the wealth and success of empire. Through images on fresco, mosaic and sculpted panel, it promoted a cultural identity and shared values. And in the very fact of its existence, it redounded to the credit of the regime whose guiding hand had made it possible. Top
Or "the moonless September dust, the trees not rising soaring as trees should but squatting like huge fowl." Also, "those windless Mississippi December days which are a sort of Indian summer's Indian summer." Some Saw Little Merit Many critics contended that Mr. Faulkner served up raw slabs of pseudorealism that had relatively little merit as serious writing. They said that Mr. Faulkner's writings showed an obsession with murder, rape, incest, suicide, greed and general depravity that did not exist anywhere but in the author's mind in anything like the proportions that these subjects assumed in his novels and short stories. A favorite device of the detractors of Mr. Faulkner's writings was to produce a condensed and completely deadpan description of his plots. The result was often a horrendous compilation of wickedness and jibbering. As for Mr. Faulkner, he seldom argued about his work. For most of his literary life he detested talk about literature. He said that when one of his books was about to be published he had to remind himself that strangers were going to read it. Mr. Faulkner was the fourth American to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. The previous winners were Sinclair Lewis (1930), Eugene O'Neill (1936) and Pearl S. Buck (1938). Ernest Hemingway became the fifth American in 1954. The 1954 Pulitzer Prize for fiction was awarded to Mr. Faulkner for his novel "A Fable." William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Miss., on Sept. 25, 1897. In the sharply stratified society that preoccupied Mr. Faulkner in his writings it could be said that he came from an upper middle-class family--one not quite of the old feudal cotton aristocracy. The first Falkners--the "u" is a recent restoration by William Faulkner--came to Mississippi in the Eighteen Forties. The family is replete with colonels, one of whom was assassinated on the street by a business rival. William Faulkner was the oldest child of Murray Falkner and Maude Butler Falkner. Murray Falkner at one time ran a livery stable in Oxford and later became business manager of the University of Mississippi at Oxford. In William Faulkner's fiction the Sartoris clan is the Falkner family. The Sartorises are forced to make humiliating compromises with the members of the grasping and upstart Snopes family. "General Johnston or General Forrest wouldn't have took a Snopes into his army at all," a character says. William Faulkner played quarterback on the Oxford High School football team and suffered a broken nose.

Use the existing holes as a guide to drill the holes through the guide plate.• Shape the front edge of the guide plate on a disk sander to give the two corners a softer rounded profile that will easily ride over small obstructions, like saw dust.• Sand all pieces and give them a coat of paste wax to reduce friction.• Assemble the pieces with the wing nuts facing down.• Trace out the shape of a handle (E); a plane handle serves as a good template. Cut it out on a bandsaw, and then sand the surfaces with a drum sander and round the edges over with a ¼" round over bit.

There are functionalities in an intralogistics system that require comprehensive information, such as, the routing of a box to its target destination or the allocation of plant resources to tasks based on the current load of the system (e.g., selection of automated storage/retrieval system, AS/RS). They were previously performed through central systems. Such functionalities have to be replaced for decentralized plants by other mechanisms. This includes concepts for the substitution and distribution of such control logics, capabilities for communication, as well as for coordination of the modules, such as auctions. For instance, the decision finding for allocating a storage order to an AS/RS, is done rule-based in the decentralized case. Formerly, a central system maintained information about the load of the AS/RS and made decisions for a suitable device. Now, whether an AS/RS may offer its services or not has to be determined by rules. In addition, it must be determined according to which rules the devices coordinate among each other about the allocation of an order and, lastly, select one of them for the execution of the storage order.
But it has been a long and controversial road to get to this moment. The plans for North Woods began grandiose. Roxanne Quimby, a co-founder of Burt’s Bees beauty products, began buying land from timber companies over 15 years ago, with the intent of gifting it to the federal government. The original plan called for a 3.2 million acre park, larger than Yellowstone and Yosemite combined. Many locals cried foul, and the idea was shelved. Plans were then floated for a much smaller park in 2011, in an effort led by Quimby’s son, Lucas St. Clair. Farmer said supporters of the park now envision a tourism corridor connecting Maine’s popular Acadia National Park with the proposed North Woods. “We want to bring the Acadia tourism inland and create a corridor that will help the whole region,” he said. According to a peer-reviewed National Park Service study, Acadia generates some $271 million annually in economic benefit and supports over 3,400 jobs. Still, North Woods continues to draw howls of protests from some corners. On a recent afternoon, members of the Northern Trailers Snowmobiling Club gathered in their clubhouse outside Millinocket. When the subject of the park was brought up, the tone turned serious, and one man replied, “Fuck the national park.” Of the seven members, none expressed support for the park, although they stressed that the club’s stance on the issue was neutral. John Raymond, who recently finished a six-year stint on the Millinocket Council, dismissed the idea that the park will bring jobs to the economically parched area. “They’ll be seasonal, low paying jobs, and they may not even go to local people,” he said. The snowmobilers also expressed concerns that the national park would bring a lot of new regulations surrounding air quality and forestry, something Farmer dismisses as untrue. Raymond said the region should focus on economic diversification, not just creating a national park. “They said we should not put all of our eggs in one basket with the mills, and they turned out to be right, but now they are asking us to do the same thing with the park,” he said. In nearby Millinocket, however, political newcomer Anita Mueller rode a pro-park platform to victory in securing a seat on the town’s council, garnering 27 percent of the votes in 2014. The Katahdin Area Chamber of Commerce has also endorsed the park plan. She said that the new scaled-down park proposal is more palatable.

Check to see if it’s already a root if ( GC_ZVAL_GET_COLOR ( zv ) != GC_PURPLE ) { So this if statement basically says “if this value is already a root, skip it”. If it’s not a root, make it one. To make it a root, first we set the color to Purple: GC_ZVAL_SET_PURPLE ( zv ) ; This is just really house-keeping, and doesn’t really effect anything. Then, we need to check to see if we’ve already stored this in the list of possible roots: if ( ! GC_ZVAL_ADDRESS ( zv ) ) { This again is house-keeping. In practice, we can ignore this part since it should never get out of sync with the Purple flag. This is here as protection. The next bit is where interesting things start happening: So the GC uses a linked list for the buffer of possible roots. So to add a root, we need to get the next unused item (the head of the linked list). I’ll explain inline: gc_root_buffer * newRoot = GC_G ( unused ) ; if ( newRoot ) { GC_G ( unused ) = newRoot -> prev ; If we get back a “unused memory block” from the buffer, that means that we’ve already added and removed an item from the GC buffer. So since we have a free slot, we can just add it straight away. } else if ( GC_G ( first_unused ) != GC_G ( last_unused ) ) { newRoot = GC_G ( first_unused ) ; GC_G ( first_unused ) ++ ; We have free space in the buffer that we haven’t used, so add it there. } else { This happens when our root buffer is full. By default, the root buffer is allocated to be 10,000 values. if ( ! GC_G ( gc_enabled ) ) { GC_ZVAL_SET_BLACK ( zv ) ; return ; Well, if GC isn’t enabled, then why bother at all… } zv - > refcount__gc ++ ; Remember we decremented the refcount earlier. We need to increment it here before the run, since the run will try to decrement it again. gc_collect_cycles ( TSRMLS_C ) ; Collect the cycles to try to open up space. zv -> refcount__gc -- ; Restore the refcount to what it was. newRoot = GC_G ( unused ) ; if ( ! newRoot ) { return ; So this means that our root buffer is full.
The experience of Southeast Asian American populations in the U.S. is cited as evidence that the model minority image is a myth. [47] Southeast Asian Americans consist of several ethnic groups, including Thai, Vietnamese, Hmong, Lao, and Cambodian. An empirical literature review[47][48] shows that most of the existing data used to justify the model minority image with Asian American academic achievement is aggregated and as a result, ignores important differences among individual Asian ethnic groups. Although many Asian Americans have succeeded academically and socioeconomically, survey research have shown that more recently immigrant groups, such as Southeast Asians, have been unable to replicate such success. [49] According to the U.S. Census in 2000, the overall U.S. population for people 25 years and over with less than a high school education was 19.6% and Asian Americans were close at 19.4%; however, disparities exist when comparing South and East Asian Americans with Southeast Asian Americans. Only 12.5% of Chinese Americans, 8.6% of Japanese Americans, and 14.6% of South Asian Americans that are 25 years or over have less than a high school education. [47] In contrast, Southeast Asian Americans more than double South and East Asian American percentages with 52% of Cambodian Americans, 59% of Hmong Americans, 49% of Lao Americans, and 38% of Vietnamese Americans ages 25 and over have less than a high school education. [47] Looking at higher education, the 2000 U.S. Census showed that 42.7% of Asian Americans ages 25 and over held a bachelor's degree or higher, which is higher than the national percentage of 25.9% of Americans overall. [47] In contrast, individual Southeast Asian American groups ages 25 and over that held a bachelor's degree or higher consist of 9.1% of Cambodian Americans, 7.4% of Hmong Americans, 7.6% of Lao Americans, and 19.5% of Vietnamese Americans. [47] With the exception of Vietnamese Americans, these proportions are lower than other racial minorities including African Americans (14.2%) and Latino Americans (10.3%). [47] As cited in an empirical literature review,[48] research that lacks differentiation between the varying Asian ethnic groups can mask under-performing groups by the higher performing groups. Generally speaking, Southeast Asian American students are overlooked due to the overwhelming success of their East and South Asian American peers.

The visit is sparked by his controversial call for dole payments to be cut off after six months, a proposal some staff believe will only entrench unemployment. "I hope this gives George the opportunity to think things through at a deeper level," says Ideal Placements operations manager Rhiannon Minniecon. But if she thinks he'll be shocked by what he hears, she is wrong. Christensen has no struggle relating to the job seekers he meets; many of their stories are familiar to him. "I mix up my letters, too," he tells a young woman with dyslexia. "My brother was in jail," he tells a young man looking for work after a stint in prison. (Christensen's younger brother was jailed in 2014 after chasing the lover of his former partner down the street with a knife.) "Go down to Torrisi's Garage and tell them George sent you," he advises a young man interested in cars. For three hours he listens, sympathises, offers ad . But he doesn't change his mind. Not even close. "They're not the mainstream unemployed," he says later. Sarah O'Brien, whose politics lean left, says she has struggled to understand how her cousin's sensitive nature coexists with his hardline politics. In the battle between ideology and empathy, she thinks ideology often wins out. "I cringe at a lot of his policies," she says. "Cutting off welfare would affect people in his own family, but he sees it as part of a bigger picture. I think he compartmentalises things in his mind. I guess we all do in some way." For our final meeting in Mackay, we drive down Mango Avenue, a shady tunnel-like street lined with 80-year-old mango trees, and pull up at the historic Eimeo Pacific Hotel. Christensen orders a chai latte before sitting at a table with sweeping views of the Whitsunday Coast, a single boat puttering across the water. I'm thinking about our car ride a few nights earlier when he said he wonders if he's in the right party. Has he really considered leaving? Yes, he says, during the weeks following the July federal election. The Coalition's low-energy election campaign, the focus on innovation, the tax hike on tobacco and Turnbull's "ill-advised Ramadan dinner with crazy imams" all left him in despair.
The argument that virtual currencies aren’t “real money” is tough when many of them consist of the same technology and traits.By defining “virtual currency,” the state is probably seeking legislative clarity. On the other hand, based on the proposed amendment, it is obvious that Illinois lawmakers have a certain outlook on the future of virtual currency within their state. Past legislative efforts have been more focused toward gaining knowledge of virtual currency, much like the two-day hearing in New York and the research report from Connecticut. States like Illinois are taking it among themselves to find a definition on their own.For those who want to attend regarding the Transmitters of Money Act, the Financial Institutions Committee Hearing will take place at 3:30PM, Wednesday, March 19th at the Stratton Building, Room 413 in Springfield, Illinois. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2014/rpt/pdf/2014-R-0050.pdf Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status of HB5886: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=5886&GAID=12&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=&SessionID=85&SpecSess=&Session=&GA=98 Full Text of HB5886: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=85&GA=98&DocTypeId=HB&DocNum=5886&GAID=12&LegID=&SpecSess=&Session=
NEW YORK - Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced that he has filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, The Trump Entrepreneur Institute -- formerly named Trump University LLC ("Trump University"), and Michael Sexton, former President of Trump University for engaging in persistent fraudulent, illegal and deceptive conduct in connection with the operation of Trump University. Between 2005 through 2011, Trump University operated as an unlicensed educational institute that promised to teach Donald Trump's real estate investing techniques to consumers nationwide but instead misled consumers into paying for a series of expensive courses that did not deliver on their promises. "More than 5,000 people across the country who paid Donald Trump $40 million to teach them his hard sell tactics got a hard lesson in bait-and-switch," said Attorney General Schneiderman. "Mr. Trump used his celebrity status and personally appeared in commercials making false promises to convince people to spend tens of thousands of dollars they couldn't afford for lessons they never got. No one, no matter how rich or popular they are, has a right to scam hard working New Yorkers. Anyone who does should expect to be held accountable." The petition filed in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan by Attorney General Schneiderman details the advertisements run by Trump University in major newspapers across the country and the direct mail solicitations sent to entice consumers to attend a free workshop. These ads prominently displayed Donald Trump's photograph and signature, or were styled as letters written by Trump himself. The advertisements were replete with false claims, including claims that consumers would learn "from Donald Trump's handpicked instructor a systematic method for investing in real estate that anyone can use." Other ads promised "my handpicked instructors will share my techniques" or "learn from my hand-picked expert" and "just copy exactly what I've done and get rich." An investigation by Attorney General Schneiderman revealed that Donald Trump did not handpick even a single instructor at these seminars and had little or no role in developing any of the Trump University curricula, or seminar content. The investigation also revealed that officials used the name "Trump University" even though they lacked the charter necessary under New York law to call themselves a University. They were also unlicensed under New York State Education Law, evading an array of legal protections designed to protect New Yorkers from fraud.
The parents of Charlie Gard, the terminally ill British infant who was at the center of a high-profile legal battle that drew attention from Pope Francis and Trump, have ended their court fight to take him to the United States for treatment. In an emotional statement, Gard's parents acknowledged time had “run out” and that their son would die within days. (Griff Witte and Cleve R. Wootson Jr.) A truck driver accused of smuggling as many as 70 immigrants across the U.S. border in sweltering temperatures and ignoring their cries for help was charged Monday after 10 of the passengers died of being trapped in the heat. Prosecutors said the alleged driver, James Bradley, knew the trailer’s refrigeration system didn't work and didn't stop as the immigrants frantically banged on the trailer’s walls and shouted for help. (Maria Sacchetti, Lindsey Bever and Todd C. Frankel) Defense officials said a U.S. Navy plane was forced to take evasive action Sunday after it was buzzed by a Chinese jet — it’s the third such interaction to occur in the East China Sea in recent months. (Dan Lamothe) Israeli security forces began dismantling metal detectors from the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem on Tuesday in a major reversal for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who seems to have struck a deal with Jordan's King Abdullah II. The metal detectors angered Palestinians, who argued that they were installed to increase Israel’s control over access to the mosque. (William Booth) The International Monetary Fund has decreased its forecast of how fast the U.S. economy will grow in the next several years — reducing 2017 and 2018 growth estimates from 2.3 and 2.5 percent to a flat 2.1 percent rate. IMF officials said the change reflects doubts of Trump’s ability to deliver on his long-touted agenda of tax cuts and infrastructure spending. (Ana Swanson) Polish President Andrzej Duda vetoed two controversial measures that would have given the country’s far-right governing party direct control of the judiciary. His vetoes come after a days-long protest in Warsaw, which was attended by tens of thousands of Poles, as well as the threat of legal sanctions from the European Union. (New York Times) The Government Accountability Office released a new report this week detailing the results of a sting operation in which investigators created a fictitious law-enforcement agency, applied for military-grade equipment from the Defense Department – and were approved in less than a week.

Actually, he writes about video games. Which is-- Russ: So it's [?]. At least [?]. McArdle: [?] the stereotypical geek-think family. But you go back to the point right before you died and you try again. And that's incredibly powerful. You just go right to where you failed and figure that thing out rather than having to re-run the entire lesson. Or, if you're a smart kid, sit there while everyone else takes three weeks figuring out polynomials. But that said, it has to be done well. And that's the hard part. Yes, I think that good teachers probably matter a lot. But finding good teachers, it's not correlated with anything that we can study. We don't know, it's not education, Teach for America doesn't seem to have great results, and so forth. Finding those teachers, getting them in the classroom, keeping them in the classroom--that's really difficult. Especially because we've seen over the last 50 years is the ability, this increasing class segregation of American schools. And so, the automobile really gave, first affluent, and then middle class and lower middle class parents the ability to pull themselves away from poor kids, and so watching one disruptive kid, there are districts in Baltimore and D.C. where the teacher would be thrilled to have one or two disruptive kids. Where you have high-poverty districts, where you may not be getting enough to eat at home, Mom or Dad may have a drug problem; Dad may not be there, he may be in prison. Those kids, the issue is not that we don't have a top-quality teacher in there. There's like a lot of issues that have to be addressed first when you have a classroom you can't control. Which is what the teachers report. You can't keep a good teacher there, because it's draining and horrible, and they want to go to a school district where there are kids that will at least listen when they talk and they don't have to be drained every day doing it. And so the kids who need it most, the kids are getting completely left behind, and more and more of them as these working class school districts start to look like very poor school districts did, that those people are the least likely to get all of this stuff that we do. I was a Montessori kid, too-- McAfee: Ha! See!
The political home of neo-liberalism in Australia is, of course, the Liberal Party itself. Over the past decade, the Howard government reduced investment in key public goods, including education and health. It also refused to invest in national economic infrastructure, notwithstanding multiple warnings from the Reserve Bank of the impact of long-standing capacity constraints on economic growth. The Liberals in government also set about the comprehensive deregulation of the labour market – based on the argument that human labour was no different to any other commodity. Driven by a philosophy of minimal government intervention in the markets, the Liberals ignored both the 2003 Dawson Review and multiple reports from the ACCC calling for the criminalisation of cartel conduct. They refused to act to prevent the accumulation of market power through creeping acquisitions. They refused to effectively regulate consumer credit or credit-rating agencies. And they ignored calls – from the Financial Stability Forum in 2000, the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority submission to the HIH Royal Commission in 2002, and the 2006 IMF Financial Sector Assessment Program – to implement a deposit-insurance scheme that would bring our deposit protection in line with almost all other OECD nations. Most critically, the Howard government oversaw an unprecedented increase in household and national debt. The average ratio of household debt to annual gross disposable income more than doubled to 114.5%, up from 49.8% under the Hawke-Keating governments; household net savings to net disposable income fell to an average of 1.1%, down from an average of 7.9% under the Hawke-Keating governments; and the level of Australia’s net foreign debt increased to 55.5% of GDP, up from 37.9% of GDP under the Hawke-Keating governments.
Giving away a time consuming problem (like Complicated Wires) consumes much time, while if you hit someone with the Button information, it can be solved very fast as well.I will describe the approach we've come to use with a couple of friends I've made from the game community. It is the best I've seen, and if there are better ones, I'm really curious as to how they would work. We've been able to beat "I am hardcore" with just under a minute of spare time without the defuser memorizing any parts of the manual. It didn't feel like the limit, or being close to it.We would have a heavy lifter who gets, in that order, Complicated Wires, Passwords, Mazes, and Morse Codes. The defuser takes turns in giving info on those modules to the heavy lifter, intermixing it with throwing bits of information (like the Button, or the Simon Says color) at other experts. When this information is passed, the defuser collects output from other experts, then proceeds to work with those other experts on tasks that require two-way communication (Wire Sequences, Who's on First, Memory). Lastly, the defuser would get the output from the heavy lifter. Depending on the number of experts and their muscles, heavy lifting could be split. The general rule "the heavy lifter doesn't interrupt, unless to ask" then spreads to all the baby heavy lifters.A nice detail is that Who's on First and Memory can be done with two experts in parallel, more or less as follows:And so on. Wire Sequence is also doable in parallel with something else (apart from another Sequence, have mercy on me), although with more time waste (since, given a good expert, the only time to save is between triplets). Who's on First itself can be split between two experts, one doing Stage 1 and another Stage 2, but that seems to save no more than few seconds overall.Having a game plan is somewhat essential for the process, unless you're so good you can avoid time waste on the fly.When analyzing a loss, make sure to pay attention to times when the defuser could have given out quick information that calls for longer processing, like Simple Wires or the Button, but also, which expert should prepare for which module.
And it leaves victims—the real people who become the statistics—feeling betrayed, distrustful, and vulnerable. Consider the unfortunate jogger mentioned earlier. According to veteran police sources, her attacker’s behavior constitutes criminal sexual abuse, defined as sexual conduct by the use of force or threat of force. And that’s exactly how the police report, filed a few days later, classified the incident. Shortly afterward, however, a detective told the woman that the crime was not sexual abuse after all, but battery. The woman recalls the detective saying that “the man who attacked me would’ve had to have said something sexual or touched himself” for the crime to be sexual abuse. So she reiterated: “He grabbed his crotch and grabbed mine.” She says the detective told her, “To be honest, I don’t think the state’s attorney is going to do anything with this. . . . It’s just not a big deal compared to all the other crime that’s going on.” Maybe so. But according to the FBI, crimes are supposed to be classified and counted based solely on the police’s investigation, not on what officers think prosecutors might do later in court. Weeks later, the woman learned, to her dismay, that the police report had been changed anyway. It no longer contained any reference to the sexual nature of the attack, which was now classified a simple battery—the kind of charge given to a person who, say, slugs someone. “It was a sexual attack,” the woman insists. “He could do it again, and he could do it to someone who couldn’t fight back, who couldn’t get away. . . . It’s not fair that the sexual nature of this wouldn’t be on his record.” (Because the victim captured the man’s license plate number, the police caught a suspect; the case is working its way through the courts.) “There’s no reason to reclassify [this case] to a battery,” agrees a veteran detective who reviewed the case at Chicago’s request. “Unless someone just wanted to make the lakefront seem a lot safer.” Before Commander Voulgaris and his officers closed last fall’s meeting in Wrigleyville, the 19th District’s community policing sergeant, Jason Clark, urged the people gathered in the room to be aware of their surroundings. He reminded them to call police when they spot anyone suspicious. He added that the department had grant money coming in for “personal alarms” that they could attach to their key chains.

Survival Solar Battery Charger - Free Today! It would make a lot of sense that someone with a criminal history would not want to go to the sheriff’s office to file a written statement, as the deputies very well might know who the individual is and treat them much differently than an anonymous tipster. In 2011 Watson stepped down from the department after Sheriff Jim Ruth questioned the amount of time Watson was spending in Nashville. What has all of this brought Longwith, a man who before this had not a single write-up or reprimand? Longwith is now cooking at a local restaurant and he says that he would like to return to law enforcement. The fact that a seemingly upstanding officer – something which unfortunately seems to be increasingly hard to come by – would be thrown off the force for mowing the lawn in boxer shorts while others are literally allowed to get away with murder is, in my humble opinion, nothing short of disgusting. It will be interesting to see if this absurd case gets any notoriety on a national level and if this pressures the department into taking a closer look at the complaints and perhaps reinstate Longwith. However, based on how little law enforcement agencies seem to actually care about the law these days, I’m not holding my breath. Did I miss something?

Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it."
Drow, like their Elven cousins prefer names that flow off the tongue, however their names tend to have a harsher sound to them. One of the most common problems GMs and players alike have when playing non-human characters is naming them. Most Non-Human characters can’t be named from a list of historic names, forcing DMs to make up totally new names. It is difficult to come up with names that are appropriate for non-human characters and consistent with one another. This is especially true for a GM who may find himself trying to come up with a large number of such names on short notice, yet without appropriate names, non-human characters often loose their unique flavor. Especially in the case of Drow, it is important that names represent and reflect the race’s special attitudes and philosophies The Drow name generator below has been presented to assist with this daunting task. Although this could not possibly represent all the possible names for a race as old and diverse as the Drow, this list can serve as a starting point and quick reference to create a large and consistent list of names. How it Works: Each Drow name consists of a prefix (from Table 2) and one or more suffixes (from Table 3),and then a house name consisting of a prefix (from table 4) and one or more suffixes (from table 5). Definitions have been included in these tables to help determine what a name means once it has been generated. In the case of suffixes, male and female endings have been included where appropriate. Alternate spellings have also been provided in some cases. You may randomly generate an Drow name by rolling on Table 1. If you prefer, it is also possible to pick a set of definitions you like and assemble the name that matches them. If your character is a Wizard who is fond of spiders, you might decide her name should reflect this. Looking at the definitions, you decide her name will mean “Spider-Mage.” This results in the name “G’eldriina" or “G'eldree” If you don’t like a particular combination, try some of the alternate suffixes listed, or add an “a,” “e,” “i,” “l,” “r,” “s,” “sh,” or an apostrophe. Although not every combination of prefixes and suffixes will sound right, usually only a minor change is called for. If you can’t make a particular name work, try one with a similar meaning.

Ilearned a lot in this process, including some more D programming. :-)A big thank to all (known and unknown) reviewers, to Andrei forcontributing the foreword and all others who helped in one way or theother.Having finished about 60% of the chapters, the other 40% and the reworkdue to comments still absorb most of my time.

The response to Z,E -nepetalactone differed from equivalent doses of DEET above 80 μg/cm 2 and the response to E,Z -nepetalactone differed significantly from DEET at all concentrations tested, down to 16 μg/cm 2 . The response to Z,E -nepetalactone, which comprised ≈85% of the essential oil, did not differ significantly from the response to catnip essential oil at any of the concentrations tested. E,Z -Nepetalactone was more active than the catnip essential oil at 80 μg/cm 2 . Both Z,E - and E,Z -nepetalactone were compared at 80 and 16 μg/cm 2 , and E,Z -nepetalactone was significantly more active than the Z,E - isomer at both concentrations. Catnip essential oil should be more active than the Z,E -isomer alone because the oil contains ≈15% of the more active E,Z -isomer. This was not observed, perhaps because the variability inherent in behavioral tests obscures statistical determination of differences. Visual examination of the results indicates that the essential oil may be more active than the Z,E -isomer at the two lowest doses (80 and 16 μg/cm 2 ), and more rigorous testing may statistically reveal the expected differences. Antennectomy of adult male cockroaches resulted in a diminished response to the test compounds (paired t -test, α = 0.05, df = 9) (Table 2) . In the three comparisons, the amount of time the antennectomized insects spent on either the treated or untreated side did not differ significantly by the paired t -test. This indicates that the chemoreceptors involved in this behavioral response are probably located on the antennae. The results presented herein indicate that catnip essential oil and the isomers of nepetalactone cause German cockroaches to spend less time in treated areas. These compounds may be useful in the development of exclusion barriers to prevent entry of insects into sensitive areas; e.g., kitchens, children’s nurseries, and hospital rooms. Using such compounds in shipping containers may reduce the incidence of accidental pest introduction to novel areas. That these compounds are volatile and the response was olfactory (rather than contact) may be important in providing protection over a large area, because the insects will not have contact with the treated surfaces. Volatility, however, may shorten the effective time. This problem may be alleviated by special formulations, such as microincapsulation, to reduce volatile loss. Using these compounds as part of a “push-pull” system, repelling the insects out of one area and luring into an attract-and-kill system in another, also may be possible.
Here's the cover art for Michael J. Sullivan's upcoming, courtesy of the folks at Del Rey. For more info about this title: Canada Here's the blurb:And here's a teaser extract for you to sink your teeth into!Enjoy!-----------------------------Raithe pulled Persephone up the last ledge. She could have climbed on her own, and none of the other chieftains had needed, or had been offered a hand, but she took it. Persephone felt it best to be agreeable when she had the luxury, knowing she couldn’t always be so generous. That’s what she told herself, but knew if anyone else had offered a hand, she’d have waved them off. Raithe was different. Rugged-handsome and wearing his leigh mor with such casual indifference, he was a popular topic among the women, but he was too young for her. Persephone was also still married to her dead husband in ways she couldn’t put into words, or even thoughts; emotions had a language of their own that didn’t always translate. The young Dureyan and Reglan were nothing alike. Her dead husband had been more like a father, a teacher, a guide. With Raithe she was the teacher, the wise one, the steady hand that kept the rows straight. And yet, Raithe’s hand felt good—safe, warm, strong. She was keenig, chieftain of the ten clans, supreme ruler of millions, but she still needed that. Power couldn’t replace respect, devotion couldn’t replace friendship, and nothing could replace the enveloping warmth of love. He loved her, wanted her, and while she couldn’t grant his wish—at least not yet—she cherished the idea. The gift of his desire was another of those impossible to translate, hard to corral feelings. Passion was a wild selfish thing that didn’t respect boundaries or common sense, but without it life felt pointless.“What did you call this?” She reached the top and walked around, getting a feel for the escarpment, a natural pillar of rock rising sixty feet above the ground.“Misery Rock,” Raithe replied.Feeling a flutter in her stomach produced by the sheer drop on all sides of the not so large rock, she nodded. “I can see that. Sure.”Persephone walked in a tight circle. She dragged her feet too scared to lift them. An irrational fear as long as she didn’t do anything crazy.The rock was as flat as a table, but she didn’t trust herself. Stumbling is not an option, unless flying is too. Persephone was never happy with heights.
The Hyderabad Metro, which is yet to be inaugurated, has opened its arms to four languages. The signboards are displayed in Telugu, English, Hindi and Urdu (as city has a large Muslim population) at metro stations which are ready.While Hindi signboards in Bengaluru has Kannada activists seeing red, Hyderabad seems to have no problems with it.Shiva Kiran, a local resident, said, "Hyderabad is a global city and we have always welcomed people from all over India. If our regional languages are given importance, then Hindi, there or not, becomes non-issue for us. "For decades, the multi-lingual and multi-cultural identity has defined the spirit of Hyderabad and has made the city a conducive place to live in for people across the country. Not only this, the heritage city is also a popular tourist destination. "The charm of the city is that it embraces multi-lingual identity. People speak multiple languages in Hyderabad. Along with our local language Telugu, if Hindi is used, there was never a problem. In Telangana, many people speak in Hindi,” Venkatesh, a local resident, said.There is no strong resistance to Hindi in Hyderabad but many oppose any forceful imposition of Hindi language.Kancha Ilaiah, writer and activist, advocates two language policy. "I oppose imposition of Hindi in all south Indian states and south should completely reject it. Two language formula is best. Hindi is nothing but hegemony of Brahmanical north. "Avula Manjulatha, former vice-chancellor of Telugu University says, "We do not oppose any language. We respect and accept all languages. But the question is why the Hindi-speaking states don't allow other language. Like we learn Hindi, why don't they learn south Indian languages? The three language police should be implemented in north states also if implemented in south. "Multi language sign-boards, including in Hindi are common in Hyderabad, due to the demographic profile and history linked to the city.Senior TRS leader and Rajya Sabha MP Keshav Rao, said, "No language can be imposed and we also oppose that. In Hyderabad, Telugu is our language, English is global language, Hindi is spoken by many people here and Urdu is our second language. So what’s wrong in having all together.”Welcoming the four language sign boards in Hyderabad Metro rail, BJP spokesperson Krishna Sagar Rao said, "We welcome the move in Hyderabad to have four languages. People from all over country travel to south India. Hindi is a mainstream language and it becomes easy for them to understand.
In their book, "Was the 2004 presidential Election Stolen", by Freeman and Bleifuss, they point out that the largest WPD (within precinct discrepancies) were in Republican strongholds, where there would be little chance of anyone doing a vigorous audit, and little suspicion if the precinct or precincts were skewed even more strongly than usual for Republican. And that's how Ohio was stolen. Places like this are exactly where people need to get out to audit their elections at the local level--push for getting tallies at all levels. If 500 people vote for Obama in the next presidential election, but that turns into a count of 200, and this is done across many counties in a state, in the battleground states, it could all play out again, that there were a number of isolcated "glitches", things went smoothly, some places had odd results, but hey, once again, presto-change-o we have Republicans back in power. By the way, Brad, if you happen to read this, --I am upset that everyone keeps calling it the "ground-zero mosque", when (1) it's not at ground-zero, and (2) it's not even going to be a mosque! Can you help correct fight this meme? --There was an interview recently, widely quoted on the web, where we see Obama "walking back" his support of religious freedom concerning this issue, but interestingly, we never get to hear the question(s) that led up to Obama's comment. This stinks. We need to know what the 'reporter' actually asked him leading up to his "Oh, I wasn't talking about the wisdom of putting it in any particular place". Think for a sec. that if the question had made the comment even more choice, then the clip would have included the question, so we know going into it that the question was at least neutral. But why are we taking it on faith that the lead-up was just neutral? Suppose the reporter had said, provocatively, "I was surprised that you'd weigh in and take the side of these Arabs who want to put a big mosque right across the street from where the towers fell--because don't you think you should have just stayed out of it?" A statement/question like that is nothing but a well-laid trap, and I think we deserve to know if it was this kind of trap that Obama fell into. Because this has a kind of Breitbart stench to it, IMHO.

NEW DELHI: Over 2,000 personnel of a "dying" paramilitary cadre will be "transferred" to the Intelligence Bureau IB ) to boost the on-ground presence of the agency on the eastern borders, where India is bolstering its defences by building roads and other military infrastructure.A total of 2,765 posts of the civilian cadre of the Sashastra Seema Bal ( SSB ) will be shifted to the IB command over the next year. Of these posts, 2,039 are operational. "The civil wing of the SSB should be transferred to the IB lock, stock and barrel, including land, physical infrastructure, equipment among others," a government blueprint, accessed by PTI, said.A top security official privy to the "ambitious" plan said a 300-page proposal for the transfer of the assets -- both manpower and infrastructure -- had been prepared at the SSB headquarters here and had been vetted by the home ministry and the office of the national security advisor (NSA) for final implementation.He added that the manpower of the civil wing of the SSB, which is termed as "dying" as it does not have promotional and work avenues, would be deployed to bolster the IB's presence in the eastern border areas, where these officials have worked for long.The average age of the cadre, the official said, was above 50 years and the personnel had done a lot of work with the people living along the Nepal and Bhutan borders.They not only helped them integrate with the mainstream, but also acted as the "eyes and ears" of the SSB, the designated lead intelligence agency on the two borders.The cadre was first raised in 1963, in the aftermath of the Chinese aggression of the previous year, to work in the border areas and promote a sense of national belonging and pro-India feelings among the local population.It worked under the external intelligence agency -- Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) -- till 2001, under the name Special Service Bureau The name of the force was changed to Sashastra Seema Bal in 2003, following the 1999 Kargil conflict. It was then tasked with guarding the Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bhutan borders on the country's eastern flank. "The transfer of the civilian SSB cadre will begin once the long-awaited cadre restructuring of the force is approved and implemented.
Calvinism thus is the guardian not only of the particularism which assures me that God the Lord is the Saviour of my soul, but equally of the universalism by which I am assured that he is also the true and actual Saviour of the world. On no other ground can any assurance be had either of the one or of the other. But on this ground we can be assured with an assurance which is without flaw, that not only shall there be saved the individual whom God visits with his saving grace, but also the world which he enters with his saving purpose, in all the length and breadth of it.

This will give you more overall treble because in cutting your record, the treble limiter wont be chomping on your cymbals too. Put your hottest, brightest most dynamic mixes on the beginning of the disc and theyll stay that way. If possible keep the quieter material on the inside tracks. A word about comparing DATs and CDs to a record; digital levels do not bear any relationship to analog levels. Were talking apples and oranges here. The analog output level of a CD player or DAT deck can be anything the manufacturer wants it to be, but it is generally higher than a phono preamp output. There are two reasons for this. First the digital equipment manufacturers want CDs and DATs to sound better (translate Louder) than records. If the DAT or CD is fairly wide dynamic range, a record can be as loud. HOWEVER, there has been a trend in the last few years to compress digital tapes almost to the point of the level display not moving from the beginning to the end of the song (second reason). This started with rap, filtered through to dance and club mixes, and finally to most new commercial pop releases. The result is that what used to be the peak level is now the average level and were talking 6 to 8 dB louder than is physically possible to put on a phonograph record (or analog tape). Remember that the groove can only move so far before the playback stylus mistracks or skips, and magnetic tape can only be driven so hard before it saturates. At any level, a digital recorder is only printing ones and zeroes. There is no digital counterpart. The bottom line is that a really compressed CD or DAT is going to be 6 to 8 dB louder than your record. This is not a defect, its a FACT OF LIFE. I prefer to think of the digital compression as a defect and a scourge to anyone who appreciates dynamic range, but now Im editorializing. If the levels are not matched in one of these comparisons, the compressed digital source (6 to 8 dB louder) will sound like its got more of everything. Ive heard the record described as sounding like its under water. If the levels are matched, suddenly they sound almost identical.
An older person that I can talk casually with.“, LLENN decided to talk.“Re-confirming theof SJ, the use of wireless items, and for some reason, the fact that I became the.”“I see. Anything about the reason for us meeting face-to-face?”“Nothing yet.”LLENN answered as she shook her head.Speaking of which, what was the reason?Without saying the reason, Pitohui had asked if she was free for 3 hours from 21:00 on Friday. As Pitohui would be attending a wedding on the day of the tournament and would probably be busy, LLENN was glad that she was introduced to M before that, but there probably was no need for it to go on for 3 hours. Moreover, contrary to her expectations that the three of them would gofarming to deepen their friendship, Pitohui had left quickly.At LLENN’s answer,“Honestly.”M let such a reaction slip out, and laughed lightly. His grim expression, even if just a little, loosened up, and LLENN had strange thoughts like ‘ah, even such acan laugh’ and ‘there areprepared for laughing’.“Neither of us know each other’s abilities. I’ve heard a bit from Pito, but I want to go to the practice grounds and confirm it.”A practice ground was a place that was literally as the name implied.In awhere various terrain and buildings could be selected, unlike indoor shooting ranges, it was possible to practise movement and long-range shooting, making use of the terrain adapted for actual combat, and it was possible to practise without dealingto each other. And there was no worry that they would be attacked and killed byor otherduring that time. However, to use it, reservation was necessary, and the fee was considerably high.“I see. ——But, no matter what, one thing concerns me……”“What?”“Why am I the? I mean, without confirming it, I may not have, such a capability, right?”As LLENN was complaining frantically with her small body, M laughed a bit again.“No worries. There’s a plan, so you're just the leader in name only. I’ll handle the actual operational command.”Just before Friday turned to Saturday, Karen returned to the real world.Having grown back to her large body, she slowly confirmed her real sensations and then stood up and turned on the room’s lights.As she was absentmindedly looking at the black P90 hanging on the wardrobe,“That was like a tryout…… wasn’t it?”Karen muttered.For approximately 2 and a half hours, LLENN was asked by M to do various things.The two of them went to the reserved practice grounds.

Thank you for granting us this interview. My first question is to get our reader’s level-set here because we’ve talked about this concept of debt deflation for a while but many readers may be new to it. First of all, you’ll agree the process that particularly the US but some other Anglo-Saxon economies are undergoing right now is a debt deflation. Would you agree?It’s certainly a debt deflation in the U.S., Australia, and the UK. Whether it is occurring elsewhere in Europe is a question mark. France an unusual example of a country that is not suffering an enormous burden of debt compared to GDP and inflation at the moment from historical standards, and compared to where we were in the 1970s where we suffered from stagflation, inflation there is quite low. So my sense is that danger is we already have one of the two debt deflation recipes there. It is possible that we can expect something as horrific as the 1930s to recur.What is you definition of debt deflation?Okay. A debt deflation is where you have an unsustainable level of debt in an economy, so a level that has already caused a crisis and therefore the types of affects we’re seeing with a credit crunch start to occur. And those are regarded as threefold. First of all people didn’t try to reduce their debt. Secondly, banks that were allowing a large rate of creation of new money are no longer willing to allow the creation to occur, certainly not at the same rate. And thirdly the banks are tempted to turn reduce available funds for lending in particular drops drastically. So rather than going to an airport and having to fight your way past half a dozen booths that are trying to give you a new credit card, suddenly credit cards scarce and you’ll find your credit card limits being reduced rather than expanded.So those combinations come together and you’re going to have a downturn driven by those factors of reduced credit and tightened credit plus the excessive debt level and the basic elimination of investment due to people trying to pay their debt down rather than trying to invest. That gives you a downturn, and then on top of that you have falling prices and they can come about for a range of reasons.

Details are currently scarce but we will update you once more information becomes available.The final piece of information in this segment is thatLordSoth is hosting a LAN event in Walsall, Birmingham, UK on. In doing so, he's hoping that he can get a Reflex tournament going, and to do so, he'd need players to show up.Now onto the nitty gritty, and I'll be honest, some of this stuff is a bit too technical for me, but let's give it a go. Recentlynewborn shared some pictures with community (borrowed from /u/narzdy ) showing from very impressive manipulation of brushes. As the development of the game continues the tools level designers will have access to grows more impressive. Check it out below.Adding to that @ ReflexDev also recently tweeted an image of their improved lighting system which is being implemented into the latest build.Finally we have some more exciting news with respect to the upcoming patch as newborn delved into previously unknown details. Even though the 0.36 patch release has been pushed back, there appears to be a some technologies that have been reworked, some which have yet to be shown, a entirely decorated, as well as further confirmation for CTF in 0.37.In our final segment, I would like to highlight a couple of cool things made by members of the community for one another.Firstly, please check out pestilence's awesomely useful player outline widget . It's a small tool which conveniently helps you alter a friendly, and enemy player outlines without having to punch in any commands into the console.Next up, KovaaK released his compilation HUD a few weeks ago, taking some of the best widgets available and putting them together in one neat package. If you're lost when it comes to these sorts of things like I am, it's useful utility which will you to easily have the most competitively viable HUD.Last, but not least,Qualx has made the #DP_TWO HUD publicly available.

Arena said that he has received few complaints about the court and that he has concerns about the council’s petition drive because it was conducted while signers were being given a free picnic lunch. The council is planning to expand its petition effort. Rabb said that the council hopes to get the community “engaged” in the park by holding a series of events throughout the year. One of the events is “Water Wars,” featuring an inflatable water slide and squirt guns, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 21. The council also plans to hold chess tournaments later this year at the 130-year-old Esdohr House, 4820 N. Long Ave., which until 15 years ago was used as the park’s craft shop. The advisory council will install an historical marker at the building and is working with the park district to have it renovated, council vice president Frank Suerth said. The house, which was moved to Long Avenue from Higgins Avenue about 80 years ago, was owned by Henry Esdohr, who was a postmaster and whose farm had a well that attracted visitors to the area. A branch library also once was located inside the house. The council also is considering hiring a company to operate an ice skating rink at the park this winter. Suerth said that Jefferson Park once had a warming shelter for ice skaters.

After this formal education, Garrett spent the next nine years tending to domestic duties, but she continued to study Latin and arithmetic in the mornings and also read widely. Her sister Millicent recalled Garrett's weekly lectures, "Talks on Things in General", when her younger siblings would gather while she discussed politics and current affairs from Garibaldi to Macaulay's History of England. [16] In 1854, when she was eighteen, Garrett and her sister went on a long visit to their school friends, Jane and Anne Crow, in Gateshead where she met Emily Davies, the early feminist and future co-founder of Girton College, Cambridge. Davies was to be a lifelong friend and confidante, always ready to give sound advice during the important decisions of Garrett's career. It may have been in the English Woman's Journal, first issued in 1858, that Garrett first read of Elizabeth Blackwell, who had become the first female doctor in the United States in 1849. [3] When Blackwell visited London in 1859, Garrett travelled to the capital. By then, her sister Louie was married and living in London. Garrett joined the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, which organised Blackwell's lectures on "Medicine as a Profession for Ladies" and set up a private meeting between Garrett and the doctor. [17] It is said that during a visit to Alde House around 1860, one evening while sitting by the fireside, Garrett and Davies selected careers for advancing the frontiers of women's rights; Garrett was to open the medical profession to women, Davies the doors to a university education for women, while 13-year-old Millicent was allocated politics and votes for women. [18] At first Newson was opposed to the radical idea of his daughter becoming a physician but came round and agreed to do all in his power, both financially and otherwise, to support Garrett. [19]

Often mixed with other alcohols and enhanced with caramel coloring, tequila can also pick up flavors from the wood in which it is aged—sometimes spent whiskey barrels bought from the United States. Traditionally, the agaves used for mezcal are roasted in an underground pit, wild-fermented in open vats, and distilled to proof, yielding a punchy, petroly, funky spirit that is thought to be a uniquely eloquent expression of terroir. Regulations allow the proof to fall between 72 and 110—but hard-liners hold that anything lower than 90 isn’t “real” mezcal. There is scarcely a serious cocktail menu in a major American city that does not feature a mezcal drink—at least three have been named for Lopez—and more and more restaurants offer lists of obscure varietals, at twenty to thirty dollars for a two-ounce pour, as if they were wines from the Loire. Lopez’s father, like many of his compatriots, is stunned by the turn in mezcal’s fortune. In his time, producers emulated tequila and did what they could to compete with it, adding a worm for flavor and to distinguish their bottle on the shelf. Now tequila companies are looking for mezcal and emphasizing the simplicity and rusticity of their product whenever possible. “We tried to sophisticate mezcal, but it turned out that people like traditional things the most,” he told me. The mezcal boom coincides with the popularity of farm-to-table food, the rise of the craft cocktail, and the advent of the bartender as an advocate for environmental and social justice. Lopez told me, “Mezcal hits every magic word—artisanal, organic, gluten-free, vegan. It comes from a small village, and you have to drive there to get it. It’s made by a family. It automatically became cool when knowing what you eat became cool. Tequila got to the point where it’s like Tyson chicken—that’s Cuervo. Now I want to know my chicken’s name. That’s mezcal.” Mezcal’s ascent is both a victory for those who love it and a cause for concern. The grains for whiskey are planted and harvested each year; grapes are perennials. But most agaves—succulents, kin to asparagus—resist domestication. Espadín, one of the easiest to grow, takes up to a decade to mature, and each piña—the usable core, stripped of its spiky blades—yields only about ten bottles of mezcal. Prized wild varieties can take longer and yield less.
