Here are the numbers: 75 F = 297 Kelvin (Need to use absolute temperatures) 45 F = 280.4 Kelvin 280.4/297 = the absolute pressure ratio = (X +14.7)/(12.5 + 14.7) Where X is the gauge measurement of the ball pressure at the field temperature, 45 F. X = 10.98 psi. 2 psi less than the nominal 13 psi. Just from temperature differences. There have also been reports that the balls weighed less. Ridiculous. Air doesn't weigh much. You would have to weigh the balls to a couple of tenths of a percentage, and you couldn't do that by just hefting the balls. Why don't you report this and send it along to the NFL, too. It sure would be good to shut up the ESPN sensation mongers. The NFL should do a real technical analysis, and some experiments. Cheers, Kirk Kirk Hackett, PhD Physicist
Starting right after 9/11 — at the latest — the goal has always been to create “regime change” and instability in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Lebanon; the goal was never really to destroy Al Qaeda. As American reporter Gareth Porter writes in Asia Times: Three weeks after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, former US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld established an official military objective of not only removing the Saddam Hussein regime by force but overturning the regime in Iran, as well as in Syria and four other countries in the Middle East, according to a document quoted extensively in then-under secretary of defense for policy Douglas Feith’s recently published account of the Iraq war decisions. Feith’s account further indicates that this aggressive aim of remaking the map of the Middle East by military force and the threat of force was supported explicitly by the country’s top military leaders. Feith’s book, War and Decision, released last month, provides excerpts of the paper Rumsfeld sent to President George W Bush on September 30, 2001, calling for the administration to focus not on taking down Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network but on the aim of establishing “new regimes” in a series of states… * General Wesley Clark, who commanded the North Atlantic Treaty Organization bombing campaign in the Kosovo war, recalls in his 2003 book Winning Modern Wars being told by a friend in the Pentagon in November 2001 that the list of states that Rumsfeld and deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz wanted to take down included Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan and Somalia [and Lebanon]. * When this writer asked Feith . . . which of the six regimes on the Clark list were included in the Rumsfeld paper, he replied, “All of them.” *** The Defense Department guidance document made it clear that US military aims in regard to those states would go well beyond any ties to terrorism. The document said the Defense Department would also seek to isolate and weaken those states and to “disrupt, damage or destroy” their military capacities – not necessarily limited to weapons of mass destruction (WMD)… Rumsfeld’s paper was given to the White House only two weeks after Bush had approved a US military operation in Afghanistan directed against bin Laden and the Taliban regime.
I attended university in a very different world from the one in which I now teach and live. For a start, Yale College, which I entered in 1961, was all male. Women were not matriculated until five years after I had received my B.A. degree. Among the undergraduates, there were only a handful of students from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and very few African-Americans, Asian-Americans, or Hispanics, unless one counted a couple of prep-school-educated heirs to grand South American fortunes. The Yale that I attended was overwhelmingly North American and white, as well as largely Protestant. It was difficult for the admissions office to identify Catholics, but applicants with conspicuously Irish, Italian, or Polish names were at a disadvantage. For Jews, there was a numerus clausus, not even disguised by the convenient excuse of “geographical distribution.” And the whole system was upheld by a significant number of legacies, along with a pervasive air of privilege and clubbiness. To display too much interest in one’s studies or a concern for grades was distinctly uncool. This was still the era of what was called the “gentleman’s C.” I picked all this up within days of arriving in New Haven, but Yale was for me an unfamiliar country whose customs I knew that I could never master. Neither of my parents had gone to college. My mother, along with the other girls in her family, was expected to begin work as a secretary directly after high school. Though my father practiced law, he had attended law school just after serving in the First World War, when a liberal-arts degree was not yet a prerequisite. A good thing, too, since my grandfather, a ragpicker, would have had difficulty mustering the will or the means to pay even the modest tuition fees then required. My grandparents were not indifferent to learning, but they were poor, and for them any learning that was not vocational was necessarily religious. The highest status in their cultural world came not from wealth or power but from the possession of Talmudic knowledge. Theirs was an insular community in which sexual selection—for Darwin, a central motor of mammalian evolution—had for centuries favored slender, nearsighted, stoop-shouldered young men rocking back and forth as they pondered the complex, heavily annotated, often esoteric tractates of Jewish law.
Shape Created with Sketch. Liverpool's astonishing penalty-taking record Show all 15 left Created with Sketch. right Created with Sketch. Shape Created with Sketch. Liverpool's astonishing penalty-taking record 1/15 Leeds vs Liverpool, Charity Shield - 1974 Perhaps one of Liverpool's most famous penalty victories, even immortalised in the film The Damned United, saw Bill Shankly get one over on newly-installed Leeds boss Brian Clough. After the match finished 1-1 at Wembley, it took seven rounds of penalties to see off Leeds. Getty 2/15 Liverpool vs Roma, European Cup final - 1984 Held at Roma's home ground, the Stadio Olimpico, the odds were stacked against Liverpool for the 1984 European Cup final. Phil Neal put the Reds ahead early on - only for Roberto Pruzzo to level things before half-time. Penalties loomed, but Alan Kennedy's winning kick saw them lift the cup. Getty 3/15 Liverpool vs Portsmouth, FA Cup semi-final reply - 1992 After a thrilling clash ended in stalemate, Liverpool and Portsmouth had to do it all over again in a replay to reach the 1992 FA Cup final. Thankfully for the Reds, Dean Saunders was on hand to convert the crucial kick. Getty 4/15 Wimbledon vs Liverpool, FA Cup fourth-round replay - 1993 No trip to Selhurst Park to play Wimbledon was ever going to be a walk in the park. Liverpool, under club legend Graeme Souness, found this out the hard was as the Londoners won 6-5 on penalties. Getty 5/15 Liverpool vs Birmingham, FA Cup third round replay - 1995 Following a 0-0 draw in the Midlands, Birmingham City went to Anfield with high hopes. They were soon to crash, however, as the Blues missed all of their penalty kicks and went out with a whimper. Getty 6/15 Liverpool vs Birmingham, Worthington Cup final - 2001 In the first domestic cup final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, as work began on the new Wembley, Liverpool once again dispatched Birmingham after the two side's played out a 1-1 draw in normal time. Oddly enough, it was defender Jamie Carragher who scored the winning spot-kick. Getty 7/15 Liverpool vs Ipswich Town, Worthington Cup fourth-round - 2002 Relegation-haunted Ipswich Town came to Anfield looking for some light relief in the cup. The almost found it as Tommy Miller put them ahead in the early stages, but El Hadji Diouf's penalty saved the day. It was the Senegalese star who also put away the all-important spot-kick to send the Tractor Boys empty-handed.
Here I present you the unofficial Path of Exile for Mac.Technically no, this wrapper just provides means to OSX to run native Windows applications. Therefore the game version is exactly same as on Windows with all itsfeatures.OSX 10.12 High Sierra testedOSX 10.13 Mojave testedolder, who knows :)Macbook pro late 2011 and newer testedDownload, double click, unpack (for example move the icon to application folder), double click, play___________________________________________________________________- For whatever reason, Razer synapse drivers will crash the game(Solved in v6)- When casting spell, encountering rare mobs, the frame rate spikes - 2 causes:OSX bug which is responsible for longer loading screens and unfortunately there is no known solution for that.Game is not preloading some monster effects = this issue is known to GGG, and according to this they are working on solution.

While this is not problem on Windows or Linux, OSX does not like it, especially when mmap() method is used to accessing this data. OSX implementation of mmap is extremely slow on large files, and over the time, the game file (content.ggpk) has bloated from <5GB during alpha to 18GB+ nowadays. This is also the reason why the game loading times gets slower and lags during gameplay higher with every patch.For technical people, lets consider this C code This code tests 1000 mmaps allocation in 4kB, 64kB and 1024kB blocks on file io_benchmark.dat. On Linux, this code runs <1s (actually for 4kb its <100ms). While on OSX it runs for at least 10+seconds regardless of amount of data read..
In November last year, we saw Juergen Maier , chief executive of Siemens UK, note that, "It is perturbing that those who claim that Britain would be better off out have not put forward a detailed alternative for what 'out' means".In the wake of Sir Mike's speech, we saw this theme picked up by a leader in the Observer and, by reference to the Business for New Europe (BNE) site, we can see this developing into a major attack point for the "yes" campaign, which will increasingly be used against us.On this basis, and much more, its is overwhelmingly evident that the "no" campaign cannot go into this fight without a comprehensive, clearly thought-out exit plan. There is no gentle way of putting this: to argue against having such a plan is simply not a credible position.Before moving on to address the question of whether there should be a unified exit plan, I now turn to your comments on a second referendum. In the first instance, you pose the question of whether the Government will suggest a second referendum, in the event that we succeed with a "no" vote. That raises some intriguing possibilities.You suggest that offering a second vote would give the government the opportunity to reverse a loss in the first, so that "yes" would mean victory yet "no" would not necessarily mean defeat. European governments, you remind us, have held second votes repeatedly over the past quarter century.On this basis, you posit a scenario where the government says: "If the public votes 'no', we will have to negotiate an exit deal with the EU and we believe that it is only right that the public has a vote on the final deal". If it did offer this option, you assert that it would be likely that Labour would do the same. You even argue that Labour might suggest this, and that the Government would feel obliged to agree.Secondly, you ask whether the "no" side should demand a second referendum in the hope of forcing the parties to commit to one. At this juncture, I might myself suggest that, when you get round to reading, you will note that we entertain the possibility of a referendum on the outcome of Article 50 negotiations. There is a reference to one on page 3, in the summary we so helpfully provide for people who haven't the time to read the whole document.
I watched Dazed and Confused yesterday night, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There are many scenes that I have seen from this movie before watching is, such as the ‘You got a joint?’ scene and the ‘I get older and they stay the same age’ scenes. This movie is one of those classic teenager movies, showing all the different high school stereotypes that can be found. The plot is disjointed, and feels like a bunch of different, shorter stories combined together. I didn’t mind that, but the lack of a strong lead to connect with or a deep plot prevents the movie from becoming joining the ranks of amazing movies like Forest Gump or Fight Club. I’m not saying I didn’t like this movie. Many of the characters have traits that you can connect with and understand them. As a comedy (which this movie is), the film goes up there in my ranking for comedies, as I enjoyed the movie throughout. Dazed and Confused is almost a character study, but with a huge amount of characters and very little studying. I did enjoy the plot of Pink and his issue with the paper he has to sign, but I was surprised to see it take a backseat to the antics of the other stories. Oh I almost forgot! Matthew Mcconaughey is in this movie! It was hilarious seeing him play the role of the semi-creepy graduate who hooks up with high school girls, instead of a more serious or interesting role. It felt like he was having fun playing his character, and wasn’t taking the movie too seriously, which is good because neither does the rest of the cast, or anybody really. It’s just a very fun movie to watch. I watched it alone, and would recommend watching this movie with a group of friends as opposed to being alone. Also it was good stoned, I might not have enjoyed it as much sober because I might have been slightly too critical of it. Solid movie, will probably rewatch it in a few years to show some stoned friends a solid movie.
If he had stood on the rooftops overlooking the Old Bailey on 23rd September 1997 and shouted out his 'confession' for the whole world to hear, it might have supported a charge of wasting police time, but certainly not of murder.This is because there is no value in merely quoting the same details of a crime which have already been published in the national press.As to whether he is innocent, the fact that his so-called confession included all six details of the crime which had ever been published - and no others - must surely raise a doubt about it even on the basis of statistics, because we all know how hard it is to win the lottery.Like most prisoners, Michael Stone and Damien Daley would have had access to the newspapers published on 23rd September 1997. It would not have been difficult for either of them to have concocted a confession, yet the whole criminal justice system from police to prosecutors lined up behind the words of one self-confessed liar and drug addict to prove that the person in the next cell was guilty. They could have saved themselves a lot of time and public money by simply reading the newspapers for themselves without asking Michael Stone to step into the dock.AB: I gather there is another, far better suspect whom you cannot name for legal reasons. What steps have been taken or are being taken to bring him to the attention of the authorities?JA: I don't know if the authorities are willing to consider any other suspect - they certainly weren't during the time of Stone's two trials, when such was the desire to convict him that the vital newspaper evidence was simply covered up with a vague admission that the details of the crime had at some time appeared in the public domain.If the prosecution had revealed to the jury that the details found in the confession had actually been published in the newspapers on 23rd September 1997 – the day of the supposed confession - there would have been no trial, because any jury would have been able to consider that the confession was merely a rehash of those articles.The police issued an e-fit of the Chillenden Murderer shortly after the crime and said “Make no mistake, this could be the murderer”.
To determine if genetic variation at the HNSCC-associated loci may alter miRNA–mRNA interactions, we used three databases on predicted effects of genetic variation at miRNA-related loci (PolymiRTSv3.0, miRNASNP and MirSNP). For the miRNAs whose binding was predicted to be disrupted at risk-associated loci miRNA expression percentiles were calculated as above. Genetic variation at rs1134367 was predicted to disrupt binding of 25 miRNAs to KDM8 (Table 4). Notably, context+ score differences predicting the effects of miR-149-3p, miR-4728-5p and miR-6883-5p binding to KDM8 were all in the 2nd percentile of all context+ scores obtained from the PolymiRTS database, indicating with high likelihood that the miRNA target site is disrupted by rs1134367 (Table 4). The effects of rs1134367 on miR-149-3p, miR-4728-5p and miR-6883-5p binding to KDM8 were concordant with predicted effects from the miRNASNP and MirSNP databases and all three miRNAs were among the most abundantly expressed in either normal head and neck tissue, or primary HNSCC tumor tissue samples, or both. Six significant eQTLs have been documented for rs1134367 with KDM8 over a range of tissues (Supplementary Table 8, available at Carcinogenesis Online), consistent with the hypothesis that rs1134367 alters miRNA-dependent KDM8 regulation. In addition, four miRNA target sites in HADH were predicted to be disrupted by rs221347. Presence of the T allele for rs221347 was predicted to create a binding site for miR-548g-3p. The context+ score difference for the effects of rs221347 on miR-548g-3p binding to HADH were in the top 7% of scores. A very high confidence binding site for miR-548g-3p in HADH was also predicted by miRanda/mirSVR (Table 3). These data indicate miRNA-related genetic variation at HNSCC risk-associated rs1134367 and rs221347 alters miRNA-dependent gene regulation of KDM8 and HADH in normal head and neck tissue, as well as primary HNSCC tumor tissue.

This does mean that you have a device-specific u-boot even if you have a generic kernel, but that's typically true anyway. [2] Patches have been posted for ARM UEFI support. They're not mergeable in their current form, but they should be in the near future. ACPI support is in development [3] Although not all u-boots are created equal - some vendors ship versions that will only boot off FAT, some vendors ship versions that will only boot off ext2. Having to special case this stuff in your installer is a pain.
Colbert shows a video of a mock press conference. It opens with him at a podium, addressing the White House press corps. COLBERT: I have a brief statement: the press is destroying America. OK, let's see who we've got here today. COLBERT (acknowledging various reporters): Stretch! (David Gregory nods) Sir Nerdlington! (reporter nods) Sloppy Joe! (reporter nods) Terry Lemon Moran Pie! (Terry Moran nods) Oh, Doubting Thomas, always a pleasure. (Helen Thomas smiles) And Suzanne Mal -- hello!! (Suzanne Malveaux stares at Colbert, looking unhappy. Colbert mimics putting a phone to his ear and mouths "call me.") REPORTER: Will the Vice President be available soon to answer all questions himself? COLBERT: I've already addressed that question. You (pointing to another reporter). REPORTER: Walter Cronkite, the noted CBS anchor -- COLBERT (interrupting): Ah, no, he's the former CBS anchor. Katie Couric is the new anchor of the CBS Evening News. Well, well, how do you guys feel about that? You, tousle-haired guy in the back. Are you happy about Katie Couric taking over the CBS Evening News? DAN RATHER: No, sir, Mr. Colbert. Are you? (Laughter) COLBERT: Boom! Oh, look, we woke David Gregory up. Question? DAVID GREGORY: Did Karl Rove commit a crime? COLBERT: I don't know. I'll ask him. (Colbert turns to Rove) Karl, pay attention please! (Rove is seen drawing a heart with "Karl + Stephen" written on it.) GREGORY: Do you stand by your statement from the fall of 2003 when you were asked specifically about Karl, and Elliott Abrams, and Scooter Libby, and you said "I've gone to each of those gentlemen, and they have told me that they are not involved in this." Do you stand by that statement? COLBERT: Nah, I was just kidding! GREGORY: No, you're not finishing. You're not saying anything! You stood at that podium and said -- COLBERT (interrupting): Ah, that's where you're wrong. New podium! Just had it delivered today. Get your facts straight, David. GREGORY: This is ridiculous. The notion that you're going to stand before us after having commented with that level of detail and tell the people watching this that somehow you've decided not to talk. You've got to -- (Colbert is seen looking at three buttons on the podium, labeled "EJECT," "GANNON" and "VOLUME." He selects the "VOLUME" button and turns it. We see Gregory's lips continue moving, but can't hear any sound coming out.)

Posted by: Gigi Allianic, CommunicationsThe pride of Woodland Park Zoo just got a little bigger!Three African lions were born yesterday on Oct. 24. The cubs represent the first litter between the mother, 5-year-old Adia, and 7-year-old father, Xerxes. This is the first offspring for the father. The last birth of lions was in 2012 when Adia gave birth to four cubs with a different male.Zookeepers moved the cubs into the off-view maternity den where the new family can bond in comfortable, quiet surroundings. Before reuniting the cubs with mom, the zoo's veterinary team did a quick health assessment of the cubs and determined that all three are males. The father remains separated from the cubs and mother.Zookeepers are monitoring the new family round-the-clock. The mother and cubs are bonding and nursing, according to Martin Ramirez, mammal curator at Woodland Park Zoo.The first 48 hours are critical, and animal care staff will be monitoring each of the cubs closely for signs of normal behavior and development over the next several weeks. “Animal management staff is closely monitoring the litter via an internal keeper cam to ensure the mom is providing good maternal care and the cubs are properly nursing. The mom and cubs will remain off public view until they are a bit older and demonstrate solid mobility skills. In addition, outdoor temperatures need to be a minimum of 50 degrees,” said Ramirez.“The birth of the lions is very exciting for all of us, especially for Xerxes who was not represented in the gene pool for the lion Species Survival Plan (SSP) conservation breeding program,” said Ramirez.”Lion cubs typically weigh about 3 pounds at birth. They are born blind and open their eyes within a week or two after birth. As part of the exemplary animal care and health program for the zoo’s thousand-plus animals, zoo veterinarians will perform health check-ups every couple of weeks for weight monitoring, vaccinations, and critical blood and fecal sampling.Xerxes arrived in the spring from El Paso Zoo to be paired with Adia under a breeding recommendation by the SSP for African lions. Adia arrived in 2010 from Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, in Ohio. An SSP is a complex system that matches animals in North American zoos based on genetic diversity and demographic stability. Pairings also take into consideration the behavior and personality of the animals.Woodland Park Zoo’s lions belong to the South African subspecies,.
Tsunayoshi continued to add more civil/penal codes one after another. For example, a weight limit for loads was set for working horses, having singing insects such as long-horned grasshoppers or pine crickets as pets was banned, and eventually the maximum sentence for animal abuse became capital punishment. Some examples of those who were punished under these civil/penal codes are as follows. • A man who deserted a sick horse was exiled to a remote island. • A public officer who threw a stone at a dove was exiled to a remote island. • A villager who cut down a tree with a bird nest was punished. • Local residents were forcibly evicted to make space to build a large kennel facility. • On the charge of being involved in a business of killing birds with firearms and selling them, 10 samurai-rank people including a constable of Osaka were ordered to commit suicide by harakiri and one received a death sentence. • The announcement was made to award 30 ryo (roughly equivalent of $30,000 USD today) for an informant on dog-killing. Tsunayoshi particularly cherished dogs, as he was born in the year of the dog according to the Chinese zodiac calendar. During Tsunayoshi’s rule, dog owners were punished if their dogs were injured. Many people deserted their dogs in fear of getting into trouble. In order to rescue these dogs, the Tokugawa government built 5 large-scale kennels in Edo to house and nurture stray dogs. Reportedly, the kennels occupied 93 hectares in total, and the total construction and annual feeding cost reached 170 million USD in today’s currency to house 100,000 dogs; some records suggests as many as 200,000 dogs. The kennels received a benefit for each dog, commonly called the Oinu-sama (Mr. [or Sir] Dogs), in the amount equivalent to a man’s salary, and the local towns were forced to partially cover the cost. When even that was insufficient to house all dogs, some farmers were designated as the Oinu-sama Staff to care for dogs at their homes. Naturally, the total cost of caring for dogs including their food exponentially increased, reaching as much as $5 billion USD in today’s currency, putting pressure on the Tokugawa government’s finances. The Tokugawa government called deserted or stray dogs “traveling dogs.” A fenced facility with kennels (called Okakoi-ba) to care for those traveling dogs emerged in the western area of Edo called Nakano village, which presumably housed about 100,000 dogs ( ).
KING: Why is Shakespeare the best to do? GRAMMER: Well, I guess just because he remains timeless, he is without -- he is always contemporary, he is always relevant, for some reason his ability with language was so extraordinary that Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke of Shakespeare as a talent that could toss creation about like a bauble, and it is like that. KING: So, he used the words as a kick. GRAMMER: Oh, absolutely. KING: Even if the play is four hours? GRAMMER: More than any other playwright -- his language is the emotion of the play. KING: The life and times of Kelsey Grammer. He's with us for the full hour, we've got a lot to talk about with him -- extraordinary talent, figure in television, extraordinary. His life is incredible, and he continues to reign supreme and makes a little money, too. We'll be right back. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, "15 MINUTES") ROBERT DE NIRO, ACTOR: Stay behind me, stay behind me. I hope this -- because my knees are killing me. Get back. GRAMMER: What, are you worried about my safety? I'm touched. DE NIRO: Just keep them out of my way. GRAMMER: Right. DE NIRO: You're ready? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, Robert, we're ready. GRAMMER: Are you ready? DE NIRO: I'm ready. Let's go. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Just get out of here! GRAMMER: Come on, you're going -- camera is rolling -- you're going down! (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, "FRASIER") GRAMMER: Now that we got the pleasantries out of the way, let me take your coat. BEBE NEUWIRTH, ACTRESS: Oh, thank you. GRAMMER: Yowsa! Oh, Lilith, that dress is stunning. DAVID HYDE PIERCE, ACTOR: Frasier, may I see you in the kitchen? GRAMMER: No! NEUWIRTH: It's from a new couture line called "Encore." GRAMMER: Oh, well, bravo! (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: The life and times of Kelsey Grammer, actor, director, writer, producer, multiple Emmy winner for "Frasier", who could forget "Cheers," new movie "15 Minutes" -- terrific film. How did you like working with De Niro? Love that crew -- Ed Burns -- not bad cast. GRAMMER: Absolutely fantastic. KING: He works, doesn't he, De Niro? He thinks about everything. GRAMMER: You know what, I really just sat down with him like this, when we would shoot.
The last three chapters of the book seem to have been tacked on to the text‐book and go back over some of the previous material (in somewhat better English). They do thus serve to clarify the lines of interpretation that emerge out of Hayami's work, and the nine pages of chapter 6, which closely follow his original 2001 English‐language paper on the topic, represent the only explicit discussion of the industrious revolution that the book includes. For Hayami, the term is used to describe no more than the development of small‐scale, household‐based, labour‐intensive agriculture, specifically in Japan. Unlike de Vries's, his model says nothing about the consumption of the increased per capita output thereby made possible (given only limited population growth), even though the rest of the book has already made clear that Hayami views Tokugawa peasants as certainly experiencing rising living standards and engaging with commercial markets for their inputs and output. At the same time, given his characterization of industrialization, his industrious revolution is necessarily unrelated to subsequent growth and hence to the issue of when Eurasian divergence on the path to industrialization actually began. One can thus see why it was de Vries's more far‐reaching model that caught on, leaving Hayami's as a uniquely Japanese oddity that has perhaps overshadowed, in the English‐language literature at least, his ground‐breaking work with Tokugawa economic and demographic data. As de Vries has argued (‘The industrious revolutions in east and west’, in G. Austin and K. Sugihara, eds., Labour‐intensive industrialization in global history, 2013, pp. 65–84), the fundamental difference between the models hinges on how far Japanese household producers were incentivized to work longer and harder by the possibilities of market‐based consumption, but this book does nothing to resolve the mystery of where industriousness came from.
Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.And met have Ziim with Aiim, And the goat for its companion calleth, Only there rested hath the night-owl, And hath found for herself a place of rest.
Of course not.I think part of me thought people would just love this page and it would magically go viral or something like that. Ha ha. That was dumb.We are first and foremost a technology and product-driven company. If I ever had an extra minute in the day, I always gravitated towards doing product “stuff”. As a result, we spent a lot of time on product tinkering in the beginning instead of “getting out of the office” and selling CB Insights. My slowness in getting us selling has had bottom line impacts, in that we should have made a lot more money earlier than we did.I seemed to think that using terms like “best practices” or “synergy” or “socialize” made us sound more institutional and serious. In reality, it isn’t consistent with the tone and brand we want to build and to be honest, it made us sound robotic, douchey and boring.This has had a direct impact on our newsletter subscriptions. One of the reasonsis that we’ve adopted a more conversational tone and talk to people like people. In February 2013, it stood at 10k subscribers. By May 2014, we were at 27,400 and as of today (6.5 months later), it has grown toOf course, dropping jargon isn’t the only or primary reason for the growth of the newsletter (the data-driven content by our data science team is the main reason).I thought our initial inability to sell could be solved by signing up partners who’d sell and market for us. These deals took time to strike and never worked. If we can’t sell the product ourselves, thinking someone else could sell it was the epitome of stupid.We get between 100-200 trial signups per day on average aka leads. Earlier, we used to waste time on every lead instead of prioritizing. This sounds so elementary in retrospect, but initially, we wanted to get everyone and so we spent time on folks with limited budget and buying power. The result of this with a small team was that we wasted time on bad leads and good leads sometimes went ignored. Scoring leads based on a number of factors ranging from organization size to the person’s seniority to their engagement with CB Insights during the trial is something we’ve begun doing to ensure we’re allocating resources and attention to the right leads.When we launched 4.5 years ago, we tried to have institutional pricing as well as pricing for startups.

But of course, do not just take our word for it. That of the European Commission should be sufficient1: ‘With a tax rate of 0.1% the model shows drops in GDP (-1.76%) in the long-run. It should be noted that these strong results are related to the fact that the tax is cumulative and cascading which leads to rather strong economic reactions in the model.’ (Vol. 1 (Summary), p. 50) Revenue estimates are as follows: ‘[A] stylised transaction tax on securities (STT), where it is assumed that all investment in the economy are financed with the help of securities (shares and bonds) at 0.1% is simulated to cause output losses (i.e. deviation of GDP from its long-run baseline level) of up to 1.76% in the long run, while yielding annual revenues of less than 0.1% of GDP.’ (Vol. 1 (Summary), p. 33) A reasonable estimate of the marginal rate of taxation for EU countries is 40-50% of any increase in GDP. That is, that from all of the various taxes levied, 40-50% of any increase in GDP ends up as tax revenues to the respective governments. Thus if we have a fall of 1.76% in GDP we have a fall in tax revenues of 0.7-0.9% of GDP. The proposed FTT is a tax which collects 0.1% of GDP while other tax collections fall by 0.7-0.9% of GDP. It is very difficult indeed to describe this as an increase in tax revenue. There are, however, bureaucratic reasons why the European Commission might still suggest such a tax move. The revenues from the FTT would be designated as the EU’s ‘own resources’, that is, money which comes to the centre to be spent as of right; not, as with the current system, money begrudgingly handed over by national governments. The EU bureaucracy therefore has a strong interest in promoting such a change. What’s in it for the rest of society is harder to spot. This result is not unexpected. When the Institute for Fiscal Studies looked at the impacts of the UK’s own FTT, Stamp Duty upon shares2, they found much the same result – from the same cause too. Such a transactions tax upon securities lowers securities prices. This then makes the issuance of new securities more expensive for those wishing to raise capital. More expensive capital leads, inexorably, to less of it being used and thus less growth in the economy.
Anhalonium lewinii). This cactus has been eaten by American Indians ever since pre-Columbian times, and is still used today as a sacred drug in religious ceremonies. In his monograph Phantastica (Verlag Georg Stilke, Berlin, 1924), L. Lewin has amply described the history of this drug, called peyotl by the Aztecs. The alkaloid mescaline was isolated from the cactus by A. Heffter in 1896, and in 1919 its chemical structure was elucidated and it was produced synthetically by E. Spath. It was the first hallucinogen or phantasticum (as this type of active compound was described by Lewin) to become available as a pure substance, permitting the study of chemically induced changes of sensory perceptions, mental illusions (hallucinations), and alterations of consciousness. In the 1920s extended experiments with mescaline were carried out on animal and human subjects and described comprehensively by K. Beringer in his book Der Meskalinrausch (Verlag Julius Springer, Berlin, 1927). Because these investigations failed to indicate any applications of mescaline in medicine, interest in this active substance waned. With the discovery of LSD, hallucinogen research received a new impetus. The novelty of LSD as opposed to mescaline was its high activity, lying in a different order of magnitude. The active dose of mescaline, 0.2 to 0.5 g, is comparable to 0.00002 to 0.0001 g of LSD; in other words, LSD is some 5,000 to 10,000 times more active than mescaline. LSD's unique position among the psychopharmaceuticals is not only due to its high activity, in a quantitative sense. The substance also has qualitative significance: it manifests a high specificity, that is, an activity aimed specifically at the human psyche. It can be assumed, therefore, that LSD affects the highest control centers of the psychic and intellectual functions. The psychic effects of LSD, which are produced by such minimal quantities of material, are too meaningful and too multiform to be explained by toxic alterations of brain function. If LSD acted only through a toxic effect on the brain, then LSD experiences would be entirely psychopathological in meaning, without any psychological or psychiatric interest. On the contrary, it is likely that alterations of nerve conductivity and influence on the activity of nerve connections (synapses), which have been experimentally demonstrated, play an important role. This could mean that an influence is being exerted on the extremely complex system of cross-connections and synapses between the many billions of brain cells, the system on which the higher psychic and intellectual functions depend.
They're sort of a bad idea for him, don't worry too much about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- * Gaara * ------- BB-B-B-A~A BB-B-B-B BB-B=A ------ Consider using Back+B in the first or second gaps if your character has a fast Back+B. Sidestepping out is near impossible. In the first two strings, it's possible to catch Gaara in his fourth B, but the timing is difficult. A tip is to watch the block shield diagonally below you and learn to time your air projectile about the same time your shield would come out. Gaara's BBBA is the one that ends with his Forward+A. There's lots of delay, but you'll still get hit by the sand if you sidestep. Instead, jump right over him and retaliate accordingly. BB-A-B-A~A BB-A-B~B BB-A-A ------ These are the strings that you'll probably be seeing if you're blocking Gaara. The third attack is Gaara's Up+A, which is a launcher hit. As a reminder, that means your Back+B will be useless, unless you're against the wall. It's possible to tag Gaara with an air projectile right after his third attack, but the timing is very difficult and impossible for the first two strings if you're against the wall. BBAA is Gaara's safest string. If you're against the wall and he does this, use your air projectile to catch him with the delay at the end of the string. It's possible to sidestep the first gap in these strings, but it is very difficult. On top of that, Gaara may switch to his first set which it is near impossible to sidestep out. You can jump over Gaara during the first delay of these strings, but you can't jump back. But of course, Gaara can still switch to the first set. Forward+B-B-A~A Forward+B-B-B Forward+B=A ----------- Forward+B is the third attack of Gaara's main strings. It's possible to Back+B the first delay, but only if your character's Back+B is fast enough. Back+B-B-B Back+B-B=A ---------- Back+B pushes you back if you block, so the second B will miss if he continues. Of course, if you're against the wall, use Back+B. Up+AB-A~A Up+AB-B Up+B=B Up+B~A ------ For the first two strings, the second attack is the fourth attack of the main strings. The last two strings are poopy. Down+B-B-A~A Down+B-B-B ---------- Second B is the fourth B of the main strings. Down+B~A-B-A~A Down+B~A-B-B Down+B~A-A-A ------------ After the first A, timing for your air projectile is not too hard.
During the last two weeks of the semester, they each spent about sixteen hours on the computer to learn WordPerfect, a few hours in the classroom to learn a sales pitch, and four hours in customer support to listen in on support calls. With this small amount of training and a trunk full of demonstration copies of WordPerfect, we sent them on their way. We were lucky to start the program back when dealers were not too busy to talk to salespeople. Some dealers went so far as to take some of the reps under their wing and show them how to use a hard disk (the reps had only learned how to use a two-floppy disk drive system) and give a good demonstration. In spite of the limited training and lack of support from the home office, most of the reps did a very good job. About half of them would go back to school in the fall, but the other half would stay out in field to work for us full time. Development work on the next version of WordPerfect was moving ahead very slowly early in the year. The biggest problem was that we were spending a lot of our time trying to find a way to stop people from stealing our software. Back then Lotus 1-2-3 was copy protected and was bringing in more money than any other application. A lot of people within our company thought our sales would improve considerably if we were to similarly copy protect our products. Bruce felt copy protection was an absolute requirement if we were to successfully sell our software in Europe, since a very large percentage of Europeans were pirating software. Trade publications e stimated that at least 50% of the software used in the United States was pirated. Europeans were thought to be pirating as many as 75% of their copies. In countries like Spain and Italy, the percentage of stolen copies was thought to be even higher. One option we had was to pay another company for protection. Some companies sold tiny devices for about $10 each which had to be plugged into the back of the computer for a software product to work. Some companies sold special, modified disks, called key disks, which had to stay in the disk drive for a program to work. Royalties for key disks ran from about $2 to $5 per copy.
The campaign against the Electronic Voting Machines or EVMs will continue, no matter what anyone says, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party declared today in face of BJP jibes. The ruling party of Delhi, which made its debut in the civic elections two years after its massive sweep in Assembly polls, came a poor second.As the trends made the extent of its losses clear, Chief Minister Kejriwal's deputy Manish Sisodia said, "EVM tampering is the bitter truth of the country's democracy. One can crack jokes on us initially, but fearing being made fun of, we cannot refrain from speaking the truth".Following a huddle Mr Kejriwal's residence, the party blamed the loss on what it called an " EVM wave " -- an allegation levelled by some parties in the aftermath of the recent round of assembly elections. Delhi minister and senior party leader Gopal Rai said, "This isn't a Modi wave, this is an EVM wave. The same happened in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand".A number of BJP leaders reacted with derision. "If they stay in the same mode (of blaming EVMs) no one can save them," said Vijay Goel. "If there was EVM tampering, it would have happened in Punjab too," pointed out Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.Party chief Amit Shah weighed in, saying Mr Kejriwal won the 2015 assembly elections on the same EVMs. The UPA 1 and UPA 2 also came to power on those very machines. "If EVMs are faulty, how did they manage to win? I think everyone should respectfully accept the electorate's decision," he said.But AAP refused to back down. "I want to ask GVL (Narasimha Rao) why he has written a book on EVMs and said we should adopt ballot boxes," retorted party leader Ashutosh. Earlier today, BJP spokesperson Mr Rao had coined a new definition of AAP, tweeting it was "Absolute Arrogance Personified". Mr Sisodia questioned how the BJP, which "brought an entire research paper, books on EVM tampering" can say EVMs cannot be tampered.

France and Russia have agreed to cooperate in the fight against the Daeshbags. The news comes after Hollande and Putin met in Moscow yesterday, where they agreed to share intelligence, intensify and coordinate airstrikes together, and jointly make sure their airstrikes concentrate on "terrorist" groups, including Daesh. Putin clarified:It looks like France really is allying with Russia, to the extent it is able -- something the U.S. has refused to do. Putin said he and Hollande "are looking at this kind of cooperation as concrete and practical input towards forming a broad anti-terrorist coalition,. I will note that the number of nations sharing this initiative is growing." He also said that both parties "agreed to continue working together very actively within the framework of the International Syria Support Group and, first and foremost with regard to the deadlines and parameters for holding intra-Syrian talks. "Hollande reiterated these points, calling such a coalition "the most important reality in today's world" and stressing that France has "done everything we can to ensure that our military will be actively involved in eliminating ISIS." He even said the UK and Germany are on board for this kind of coordination. (Germany will primarily be providing reconnaissance.) On the political side, he said:Yeah, "it goes without saying"... More like it's not worth saying at all, because it's US BS. But there's nothing in the Vienna agreement about Assad having to go. If the Syrian people want him, that's their right. So on the one hand Hollande parrots the U.S. talking point, but on the other stresses that "all agreements reached" by the Syria Support Group should be implemented. He also had this to say: "Thegoal that we should all set for ourselves is the fight against ISIS and the elimination of the terrorists.."Hollande can get away with speaking out of both sides of his mouth here. The transition process can't begin until Daesh is destroyed, and a lot of things can change politically in that time. For now, "Assad has to go" is a hollow statement. France's actions, if legit, speak louder: cooperation with Russia, actually targeting CIA-backed Daeshbags.France is in an interesting position. As a U.S. vassal, it can't ditch the U.S. completely.
Now we have to figure out how overpruned synapses cause all the diffuse symptoms of the disease—the psychosis, the cognitive collapse, the emotional emptiness, and the withdrawal.”
As Ahluwalia underscores, “Fanon’s Algerian locatedness is critical.”[11] Employing Abdul JanMohamed’s distinction between a “specular” and a “syncretic border intellectual,” Ahluwalia categories Fanon as a specular border intellectual par excellence. According to JanMohamed, while both types are border intellectuals in that “they find themselves located between (two or more) groups or cultures, with which they are more or less familiar, one can draw a distinction between them based on the intentionality of their intellectual orientation” with respect to a particular culture. [12] In contrast with the specular type, the “syncretic border intellectual” is more “’at home’ in both cultures,” and “is able to combine elements of the two cultures in order to articulate new syncretic forms and experiences.”[13] While equally acquainted with and knowledgeable of both cultures, “the specular border intellectual” is not able to find a “home” in either cultures and operates in a liminal existence. Straddling multiple communities, “the specular intellectual subjects the cultures to analytic scrutiny rather than combining them; he or she utilizes his or her interstitial space as a vantage point from which to define, implicitly or explicitly, other utopian possibilities of group formation.”[14] Fanon, operating in his own “interstitial space” having experienced the contradictions of the colonial system, is compelled to challenge the Enlightenment’s proclamation of “the triumph of reason and the promises of the French empire that, at least theoretically, accorded to its colonial subjects the same rights as in the metropole.”[15] Fanon’s suspicions about the universal application of the French appropriation of Enlightenment-inspired narratives of progress and freedom for all eventually grew into discontent and disillusionment. As Fanon grappled with the “absurdity of the colonial world” and its “dehumanizing effects on the Algerian population,” he began “to consider the possibility of a new society in which both the coloniser and the colonised are transformed through a new humanism, one that is by no means the humanism of the Enlightenment.”[16]
The quality of the Lipscomb tour, to me, suggests that we, as a city and as a tourist destination, are missing out by not having a way to regularly put people on a bus and drive them out to significant places and show them what’s what. ( Grayline offers a “Nashville” Nashville tour, but not a Battle of Nashville tour.) It’s not just an important part of our history, but, I thought Currey made a convincing show of how we’re still living in a landscape deeply transformed by the battle, if only we knew how to recognize it. We need some way to learn. In that spirit, Lipscomb is doing a really kick-ass job of providing programing this fall for the public. I’m especially looking forward to November 15, when they’re going to have James McPherson, Joseph Glatthaar, and John Baker in for a symposium, “The African-American Experience in the Civil War Era.” And, during during the tour, they hyped the upcoming Sesquicentennial events on Saturday, December 13, now with a “city-wide progressive cannonade.” I’m not sure what that is, but it sounds awesome. And loud. So, long story short. No, we don’t have enough cool Civil War stuff normally, but this autumn, we do, so get out there and soak it all in. _________________________________________________________________ Recollections REVISIT THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE When the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Nashville occurred in December 1964, two publications commemorated the historical occasion with full editions devoted to accounts and analysis of the event — The Nashville Tennessean and The Civil War Times. BONPS has made both publications available in their entirety. Both publications were provided by former BONPS President Jim Kay from his collection.

Today’s composers, performers, arrangers, etc., in the West must please as many listeners as possible. Hence “mass culture” and in particular, “pop music.” Great composers of the past wrote “classical music,” in which only the musical elite was (and is) interested. But those composers did not depend financially on mass audiences. Wilhelm II decided (correctly) that Einstein was not understood by many physicists because he was too great and hence sounded ridiculous if not insane to learned mediocrities. The other day I saw a television program on the origin of the Earth. Flushed all over the screen was the photograph of Einstein. But what is amazing about Einstein that the program did not mention? He said that there is no single time for the universe, but each point of it has its own space-time. The producers of the U.S. television program I saw did not say (in 2007!) a word about such thoughts of Einstein in 1905 or 1912. Possibly they found those thoughts insane or did not want their audience to suppose that they (the producers) were insane. Einstein would not have been able to exist in a US university in 1914, for he would be ousted from it by learned mediocrities who fill any university collective as its majority. But as the Director of an Imperial institution, Einstein throve, and in 1921, he received a Nobel Prize. Not for his “insane discoveries,” but the prize helped him to thrive and publish his insane thoughts in Germany before Hitler came to power, and the “Aryan” physicists declared his physics to be a Jewish degeneracy. The irony is that Germany had been nurturing Einstein since 1914, and in 1933 chased him out as a Jew, along with other Jewish physicists, into the United States where in 1939 he wrote (at the request of Jewish émigrés) his famous letter of Aug. 2 to President Roosevelt about the possibility of development of nuclear weapons ahead of Nazi Germany, that is, ensuring its defeat. In 1986, the Chinese dictatorship created (like the Emperor!) Project 863 to consider what a “normal” research institution would find ridiculous or insane. The dictatorship of China has been trying to net in this way an Einstein and other minds of genius, in the post-nuclear fields, for in the last analysis, superior military might depends on minds of genius, and not on 10,000 “normal” universities, considering these minds of genius ridiculous or insane.
?v=LPjzfGChGlE&feature=player_embedded "Immigration by the numbers-off the chart" by Roy Beck This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future generations: www.NumbersUSA.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muw22wTePqQ Suicide of a Superpower By Pat Buchanan A book review: Part 2 By watching the "Occupy Wall Street" or any other city in America in the past week, you're watching the beginning mobs that roam around America's urban areas attempting to jolt the system that created 15 million unemployed and another 7 million underemployed. While rich CEOs enjoy $5 million bonuses, countless millions of Americans stand in food stamp lines-as of October 2011-45.2 million of us subsist on food stamps. Who created this mess? Thomas Jefferson said in 1802, "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." In 1913, a few wealthy bankers pushed through the Federal Reserve System currently run by the banker elite Ben Bernanke. They commandeered America's money and fulfilled Jefferson's prediction. Today, the moneyed elite control Congress. Thus, they control our jobs and lives. In his new book, Suicide of a Superpower, Patrick Buchanan predicts the loss of our nation via mass immigration and population overload. He clearly points to the markers taking down America. Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism. Buchanan said, "Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand. How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman's right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?" Chapter 4. The End of White America. Buchanan said, "White America is an endangered species. By 2020, whites over 65 will out-number those 17 and under.
But as hints leaked out over the following days, it was clearly a lot closer to the Chinese position.The best boast that Gazprom boss Alexei Miller could muster at St. Petersburg was that the price would be more than $350 per thousand cubic meters, which converts to $9.75 per mmbtu. That is to say, better than what China had been hoping for and even less than Gazprom gets from current European customers, which averages a little less than $11 per mmbtu. Then too Gazprom will have to spend maybe $30 billion building new pipelines from its West Siberian heartland and/or drilling for new supplies closer to China in East Siberia. "New capex will likely cause free cash flow to turn negative in the medium term," an analyst from Renaissance Capital in Moscow told Bloomberg, financial wonk language for Gazprom got taken to the cleaners. Gazprom shares stayed more or less flat on the news, while those of Chinese gas distributors like(HKG:0384) and(HKG:0392) took a jump.The political math that Putin cares most about looks somewhat better for Russia. The European Union, which currently gobbles about two-thirds of Gazprom's exports, is due to issue a new long-term strategy on energy security next month, and Russia's role in it may well be pared back given the confrontation over Ukraine. Aside from diversification at a stroke, the China accord will act as a long-running stimulus package for Russia's sputtering domestic economy. Putin, who turned up to present the keynote in St. Petersburg, estimated the contract would spur $55 billion in spending and create "the largest construction site in the world. "But locking Russia into what looks like a money-losing proposition for the next generation is hardly the ideal underpinning for its economy. China, which is choking on coal-fired pollution and was looking at buying liquefied natural gas at a 40-50% premium to Gazprom's tariffs, catches a nice break. Beijing will be only too happy to keep providing Moscow with a counter-balance to its troublesome Western customers, for the right price.
"Dissenters" are the people who, for the most part, make a conscious effort to veer away from institutional religion. "Protesting dissenters" refers to those SBNRs who have been 'turned off' religious affiliation because of adverse personal experiences with it. "Drifted Dissenters" refers to those SBNRs who, for a multitude of reasons, fell out of touch with organized religion and chose never to go back. "Conscientious objector dissenters" refers to those SBNRs who are overtly skeptical of religious institutions and are of the view that religion is neither a useful nor necessary part of an individual's spirituality. "Casuals" are the people who see religious and/or spiritual practices as primarily functional. Spirituality is not an organizing principle in their lives. Rather they believe it should be used on an as-needed basis for bettering their health, relieving stress, and for emotional support. The spirituality of "Casuals" is thus best understood as a "therapeutic" spirituality that centers on the individual's personal wellbeing. "Explorers" are the people who seem to have what Mercandante refers to as a "spiritual wanderlust". These SBNRs find their constant search for novel spiritual practices to be a byproduct of their "unsatisfied curiosity", their desire for journey and change, as well as feelings of disappointment. Explorers are best understood as "spiritual tourists" who take comfort in the destination-less journey of their spirituality and have no intentions of ultimately committing to a spiritual home. "Seekers" are those people who are looking for a spiritual home but contemplate recovering earlier religious identities. These SBNRs embrace the "spiritual but not religious" label and are eager to find a completely new religious identity or alternative spiritual group that they can ultimately commit to. "Immigrants" are those people who have found themselves in a novel spiritual realm and are trying to adjust themselves to this newfound identity and its community. "Immigrants" can be best understood as those SBNRs who are "trying on" a radically new spiritual environment but have yet to feel completely settled there. It is important to note that for these SBNRs, although they are hoping to become fully integrated in their newfound spiritual identities, the process of acclimation is difficult and often disconcerting.
The following evening, Wallow and I head over to Herb’s Crab Sledding Rentals. Herb smokes on his porch in his yellowed boxers and a threadbare Santa hat, rain or shine. Back when we were regular sledders, Wallow always used to razz Herb about his getup. “Ho ho ho,” Herb says reflexively. “Merry Christmas. Sleigh bells ring, are ya listening.” He gives a halfhearted shake to a sock full of quarters. “Hang on, nauticats. Can’t sled without informed consent.” Thanks to the Olivia Bill, new island legislation requires all island children to take a fourteen-hour Sea Safety! course before they can sled. They have to wear helmets and life preservers, and sign multiple waivers. Herb is dangling the permission form in front of our faces. Wallow accepts it with a genial “Thanks, Herb!” Then he crushes it in his good fist. “Now wait a sec . . .” Herb scratches his ear. “I, ah, I didn’t recognize you boys. I’m sorry, but you know I can’t rent to you. Anyhow, it’ll be dark soon, and neither one of you is certified.” Wallow walks over to one of the sleds and, unhelmeted, unjacketed, shoves it into the water. The half shell bobs there, one of the sturdier two-seaters, a boiled-red color. He picks up a pair of oars, so that we can row against the riptides. He glares at Herb. “We are going to take the sled out tonight, and tomorrow night, and every night until our parents get back. We are going to keep taking it out until we find Olivia.” He pauses. “And we are going to pay you three hundred and seventy-six dollars in cash.” Coincidentally, this is the exact dollar amount of Granana’s Social Security check. Herb doesn’t say a word. He takes the wad of cash, runs a moistened finger through it, and stuffs it under his Santa hat. He waits until we are both in the sled before he opens his mouth. “Boys,” he says. “You have that crab sled back here before dawn. Otherwise, I’m calling the Coast Guard.”
A great deal of basic epidemiological information specific to ZIKV is lacking. As a result, information must be leveraged from our knowledge about transmission of related arboviruses. Previous work has focused on mapping other vector borne diseases that share much of the ecology of Zika, such as DENV (Bhatt et al., 2013) and CHIKV, as well as for its primary vectors, Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus (Kraemer et al., 2015c). For this reason, temperature suitability for dengue (Brady et al., 2013, 2014) was entered into the models due to the greater number of field and laboratory studies available for parameterising this metric for DENV. Until more studies related to vector competence and temperature constraints on ZIKV transmission to humans are conducted, this is the most accurate indicator of arboviral disease transmission via Aedes mosquitoes currently available. Indeed, all other covariates in our models could equally be applied to mapping DENV and CHIKV, and ZIKV-specific refinements to modelling covariates will be possible as the disease continues to expand to allow for improvements in future iterations of the map. The relatively smaller amount of occurrence data available for ZIKV (especially prior to recent outbreaks) means that this dataset should also be updated with new information as necessary, leading to a stronger global evidence base and improved accuracy of future maps. Better understanding of ZIKV transmission dynamics will eventually allow for further cartographic refinements to be made, such as the differentiation between endemic- and epidemic-prone areas. Still, all covariates included in the current study have been updated and refined since (Bhatt et al., 2013), and when combined with the most extensive occurrence database available for ZIKV, the resulting map we present here is currently the most accurate depiction of the distribution of environmental suitability for ZIKV. A map highlighting differences in predicted suitability for both diseases is provided in Figure 2—figure supplement 4.
Though he is an aggressive defender, Miller tends to miss open-field tackles. This is fault to inability to break down and try to make a clean tackle instead going for the big hit. At times, he'll grab onto receivers a little too long while in coverage and sometimes depend on his athleticism too much and gets caught in short yard coverage.
Adding, “Or there could be a fine for every alcohol-related car crash among those under 21, levied against the company that produced the beverage involved in the crash (p. 187).” In the absence of sound experimental work, such policy changes are likely to be met with fierce political opposition. For example, which agency or person should be fined in such an event? What is the magnitude of such fines? Such proposals raise more questions than answers, but at least Biglan’s proposals might promote discussion. Using the example of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Biglan proposes that change agents can take a grass-roots advocacy approach to affecting policy change, providing a necessary critical mass or momentum to break through political obstacles associated with lobbyists and governmental regulatory red-tape. The chapter concludes with sage advice that we should advocate for empirical public policy, making sure to sufficiently evaluate both prevention and intervention efforts at even the largest of scales.

Can Deep Learning Give Machines Common Sense? Spectrum: In preparing for this interview, I asked some people in computing what they’d like to ask you. Oren Etzioni, head of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, was specifically curious about Winograd Schemas, which involve not only natural language and common sense, but also even an understanding of how contemporary society works. What approaches might a computer take with them? LeCun: The question here is how to represent knowledge. In “traditional” AI, factual knowledge is entered manually, often in the form of a graph, that is, a set of symbols or entities and relationships. But we all know that AI systems need to be able to acquire knowledge automatically through learning. The question becomes, “How can machines learn to represent relational and factual knowledge?” Deep Learning is certainly part of the solution, but it’s not the whole answer. The problem with symbols is that a symbol is a meaningless string of bits. In Deep Learning systems, entities are represented by large vectors of numbers that are learned from data and represent their properties. Learning to reason comes down to learning functions that operate on these vectors. A number of Facebook researchers, such as Jason Weston, Ronan Collobert, Antoine Bordes, and Tomas Mikolov have pioneered the use of vectors to represent words and language. Spectrum: One of the classic problems in AI is giving machines common sense. What ideas does the Deep Learning community have about this? LeCun: I think a form of common sense could be acquired through the use of predictive unsupervised learning. For example, I might get the machine to watch lots of videos were objects are being thrown or dropped. The way I would train it would be to show it a piece of video, and then ask it, “What will happen next? What will the scene look like a second from now?” By training the system to predict what the world is going to be like a second, a minute, an hour, or a day from now, you can train it to acquire good representations of the world.
Over the last fifty years, academic military historians have increasingly circumvented the traditional framework of guns, battles, and commanders by amalgamating social, cultural, and political themes with military and war-related topics. Practitioners of this “new” military history (new in that it is different from old or traditional military history) focus on themes that battle narratives typically ignore, such as civil-military relations, institutional cultures, the motivations of soldiers, masculinity and gender in the machismo-filled world of war, and the experiences of African-American and Chicano soldiers, to name a few. Although “new” military history has existed for decades (centuries, if you consider the works of Herodotus and Thucydides), the last twenty years have seen “new” military historians fill numerous holes in the historiography. To avoid turning this piece into a long-winded historiographical essay on “new” military history, the following represent just a few of the notable additions to the field. Joseph Glatthaar, the current president of the Society for Military History and history professor at the University of North Carolina, published in 1990 Forged in Battle: The Civil War Alliance of Black Soldiers, which many if not most military historians consider the definitive work on the experiences of African-American soldiers in the Civil War. Glatthaar demonstrates that acts of valor and heroism permeated the ranks of the 180,000 black soldiers who served in segregated units under the command of white officers. He also shows how their bravery and sacrifice faded into the post-war milieu of racial prejudice and segregation in the United States. DeAnne Blanton’s They Fought Like Demons: Women Soldiers in the Civil War (2003) uncovers another overlooked topic of the Civil War — the wartime experiences of women soldiers who disguised themselves as men, and how their male comrades perceived and treated them. Peter Kindsvater’s terrific book, American Soldiers: Ground Combat in the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam (2005) analyzes why Americans in the 20th century rallied to the flag in times of war and how they coped with the consummate exhaustion, frustration, and fear inherent in war and especially combat. He ultimately concludes that despite the fact that the examined wars spanned several decades, and featured different technologies, terrains, climates, and enemies, the American troops of the draft-era military generally volunteered for the same patriotic reasons and shared similar wartime experiences.
During a search, the officer found an open beer and an open bottle of Vodka. Aug. 14 (2:07 a.m.) Bryant McNeal Benjamin, 28, of Baytown, was charged with DWI. Benjamin was stopped for speeding in the 700 block of W. Parkwood. When Benjamin was asked for his driver's license, he told the officer that his license was suspended for tickets he had received. During the contact, the officer noted the smell of alcohol coming from inside the car. Benjamin failed a field sobriety test and registered .174 on a breath test. Aug. 14 (2:29 a.m.) Felicia Nicole Martinez, 24, of Alvin, was charged with DWI. Martinez was observed swerving into oncoming traffic in the 300 block of E. Parkwood. When the officer contacted Martinez, he immediately noted the strong smell of alcohol. Martinez failed a field sobriety test and refused a breath test. Martinez has a conviction for DWI from January 2009. NARCOTICS Aug. 11 (12:54 a.m.) Jarrett Scott Appel, 21, of Friendswood, was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Appel was stopped for a traffic violation in the 600 block of N. Friendswood Drive. During the stop, he admitted to being in possession of a marijuana pipe. Aug. 9 (2:43 a.m.) Scot Alan Hochard, 48, of Oviedo, FL, was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance. Hochard was found sleeping in his vehicle in a parking lot in the 3300 block of FM 528. While checking his welfare, officers found Hochard in possession of a half gram of heroin. Aug. 9 (5:48 p.m.) Tanner Trae Plante, 18, of Friendswood, was charged with Possession of Marijuana. Plante was stopped for a traffic violation in the 1400 block of FM 528. Officers noticed a strong smell of burned marijuana during the contact with Plante. During a search, officers found a bag of hydroponic marijuana. Aug. 11 (9:04 p.m.) Craig Sergio Charles, 20, of Pearland, was charged with Possession of Marijuana. Charles was stopped for running a stop sign in the 17100 block of Townes Road. Charles told the officer that he had lost his driver's license. So, the officer checked his identifiers and found that he had outstanding warrants in Harris County. Charles told the officer that he knew about the warrant and admitted to having "a little" marijuana in the car. The officer recovered .28 ounces of marijuana.
Shinji Hashimoto visited Thailand Comicon Event @Siam Paragon, Bangkok in 10 May 2014. He showed the old FF 25th Anniversary clip and old FFXV trailer from E3. After that he talked about FF History, his work, Q&A, etc.My group've chance to sat in the front row, recorded sound clip and video. (You can see at below.) I wrote some interesting information and Q&A in Thai. Thanks my friend (ultimaweapon) for translated Q&A to English.FF 25th Anniversary Clip and old FFXV trailerMr. Shinji talked about his work. This clip start when he talk "it has been 8 years" (FFXV)---------------------------------When Hashimoto started talking about FFXV, everyone in the hall clapped their hand and cheered. He smiled and said...FF Fans: (laughing)PS4's sold in Thailand since November 2013---------------------------------[Q&A with FF Fans]*I'm the one who ask Question 1A : We would like to keep it secret. It just only a few months from now. I'm pretty sure you will be surprised. Actually it is not only in June, there will be many events from now on such as San Diego Comicon, Tokyo Game Show, and others.We might tell you what is our plans, but it's better you see by yourself at Tokyo. (laugh)A : Our company has developed a lot of mobile games. And the development team is quite big.Our mobile games will become popular. For console game such as FFXV is also nicely done.This clip start from Question 3A : We think it's could grow up. If our games are released, please support them.If not, you know what will happen to that game.A : We are sorry. They are secret. Please wait. The game will come out fantastic.Well, is Kingdom Hearts popular in Thailand?FF Fans: Yes it is! !A : Then please kindly wait a while. We are preparing those information. **Reference : http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-16-sony-sells-all-its-square-enix-shares-for-28m A : We don't think this became a big news. (laugh)Back in 2001, Square had financial problem and Sony had bought our stocks.Now the situation is contrary.From that time we have good support from customers for our products, so SQEX is back on its legs, but Sony has declined.The President of both companies had negotiation and resulted as everyone knew.We did not have argument. Since once Sony helped us, so it was the time we help Sony back.Sale of PS4 is no problem and it is still available.(Mr.
According to Dr. Greger , campylobacter "can trigger arthritis, heart and blood infections, and a condition called Guillain-Barré syndrome that can leave people permanently disabled and paralyzed... With the virtual elimination of polio, the most common cause of neuromuscular paralysis in the United States now comes from eating chicken." And salmonella?
Foreign Office The MPs welcomed Mr Miliband's decision earlier this year to revoke export licences to Israel. The revoked licences are reported to cover spare parts for Israeli boats which allegedly fired missiles and artillery shells into Palestinian territory during the invasion of Gaza last year. In their report, the MPs said the government must do more to ensure equipment is not being used against civilians in war zones and highlighted concerns arms exported from the UK have been used against civilians in Sri Lanka's civil war. Britain and other EU countries are reported to have sold arms to the country's government in the final three years of its conflict with the Tamil Tigers. The MPs say they are concerned weapons and equipment exported to the country during a ceasefire may have been used against civilians when hostilities escalated in 2006. 'Full review' The MPs say applications for licences for arms exports to Israel and Sri Lanka should continue to be assessed case-by-case. Britain, which is one of the world's biggest arms exporters, has been involved in efforts to set up a global arms sales treaty and since December has been subject to an EU-wide agreement, although campaigners say it is ineffective as enforcement is down to individual countries. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "The government shares the committees' concerns regarding military exports fuelling conflict in countries such as Sri Lanka. "As a result of the intensified fighting in Sri Lanka earlier this year, the government launched a full review of export licensing decisions to Sri Lanka. In particular, whether there was a need to revoke any licences that were now in breach of the criteria governing export controls. "This review is nearing completion, and the outcome will be reported to Parliament." He added: "Overall, we are pleased that the committees endorse our policy of case-by-case assessment for assessing export licences." The Committees on Arms Export Controls is made up of members of four different select committees: business and enterprise, defence, foreign affairs and international development.
[40] One hundred protesters joined a "United March for Justice" on September 19, linking DuBose's killing with the deaths of Tamir Rice, John Crawford, and Samantha Ramsey. [41] Kroll Report Edit A report, commonly called the "Kroll Report", released in September 2015 by Kroll Inc., a risk consulting firm hired by the university, said that Tensing's bodycam video showed that he was not dragged. It also said that the car had not moved, or had barely moved, before the gunshot was fired. It faulted both men for unnecessarily escalating the situation, DuBose by failing to comply with Tensing's command to get out of the car and starting the engine. The report offered no opinion as to Tensing's guilt or innocence in the criminal case. Tensing's attorney said, "I don't agree with their analysis or their conclusions. "[42][43] The report's recommendations include reviewing the scope of the UCPD's jurisdiction, improving relevant training and policies, clarifying reporting requirements following officer-involved shootings, providing cultural diversity training, and assessing the diversity of officers within the UCPD. [18] University reactions Edit Following the shooting the UCPD stopped making off-campus traffic stops. [44] On October 16, a student group, named "Irate 8" for the eight percent of black students at University of Cincinnati campuses, presented a list of demands to the university president. The list includes taking officers Kidd and Lindenschmidt off patrol, conducting full background checks of police and other university employees, and mandating racial sensitivity training for all staff and students. President Santa J. Ono agreed to meet with them and discuss their demands. [45][46][47]
On New Year's Day of 1802, the Baptist evangelist John Leland delivered a remarkable gift to the White House: a 1,235 block of cheese. Newspapers called it the "mammoth cheese." It came from Leland's village of Cheshire, Massachusetts, sent by evangelical Baptists of New England, to honor their beloved president, Thomas Jefferson. For those familiar with Jefferson's religious beliefs, the mammoth cheese is both a prodigy and a puzzle: why would devout Christians love this deistic skeptic so much? The answer to the puzzle of the mammoth cheese goes a long way toward explaining the role of faith in the era of the American Revolution. Americans incessantly debate the place of religion in their nation's founding. The controversy has resulted from court decisions that have progressively lessened expressions of faith from American public life and schools. Conservative Christians often argue that America was founded as a Christian nation, and that secularization betrays the country's roots and the intentions of the Founders. Secularists, conversely, argue that most of the leading Founders were Enlightenment-influenced rationalists, and that faith played no formative role in American independence from Britain. As I show in my book God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution, the relationship between John Leland and Thomas Jefferson offers a more accurate picture than does the polarized choice of either a wholly devout or wholly secular American Founding. There was real spiritual diversity among Americans in 1776; not as much as one sees today, to be sure, but there was a significant range of beliefs. Indeed, one would be hard pressed to find more sharply different faiths than those of Leland and Jefferson. Leland was an evangelical preacher of incredible endurance and commitment, who traveled America's byways telling thousands of listeners to put their faith in Jesus, the Son of God. Jefferson, by contrast, tried to keep his skepticism private, but in his retirement it became abundantly clear that Jefferson saw Jesus not as the Messiah, but only as a great moral teacher. For Jefferson, Jesus was not divine, and he did not rise from the dead. Jefferson even produced an edition of the Christian Gospels to this effect, with the miracles and resurrection of Christ literally snipped out with scissors.
I agree with MC in regards to the balance he talks about.I believe that SCII right now, though exciting a lot of times, is very one dimensional.I remember watching Taeja stream. There was a 40~50 minute game of TvZ in Derelict Watcher.The zerg had every single Hive tech composition available.Taeja stayed on mionics the whole time and was able to win the game against infestors, broodlords, and ultralisks.I hate whining about balance, and I know that Taeja is fucking Taeja but when all the recent TvZs all happen similarly, you start to question the stagnant metagame.It's like watching Korean soap operas. You already know what's going to be on the show. Everything is stale and the same. What used to be exciting no longer becomes exciting (except sex).I really agree with his point on professional mindset of Korean progamers too. A lot of progamers that I have met only focus on the internal aspects which are the games and its skills and no one focuses on the external aspects (fan interactions, entertainment value) I believe that internal aspect at the end of the day is the most important, but you are a fucking progamer. you are pro at something, which means, you are nothing at the end of the day if no one remembers you. 20 years from now, do you want to be known as the motherfucking Nestea who created a universe or bosstoss MC? Or just another unknown Korean pro that won a tournament and disappeared into oblivion? (Sting, Seed, Jjakji comes to mind).However, I'm going to be selfish and say please don't learn English. I just started my eSports career as a translator. I don't want to become useless very shortly after.Just kiddingFor Korea, Starcraft happened in BW.For the rest of the world, that Starcraft boom happened in 2010. I remember watching Husky and HD and HDH invitational. I remember watching the first ever GSL Open Season and remembering that THIS was going to be the game that changes lives. Well, it did.As a SC2 fan, I really hope that we can make that 2010 again. I truly believe that we have the potential. But the game developers, progamers, and the community HAVE to work together towards a same vision in order for that to happen.
Six hours later, the URL had vanished, and the study was seemingly erased from the depths of the internet — likely in the hopes that the “controversial” information it contained would be forgotten.A Survey of 6- to 12-year-old Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children based on Mothers’ Reports, by Anthony R. Mawson, et al. seemed like any other standard report on vaccination at first glance, according to author James Grundvig.The paper had been linked to Grundvig, and he recently published an article about the study, how he authenticated it with the study’s author, and he even described how the publishing journal went about censoring the information. Grundvig writes that after reading Mawson’s conclusions in the study, it appears that perhaps the CDC has purposefully avoided conducting such research themselves because “it would have run counter to CDC’s messaging that all ‘vaccines are safe. '”To conduct their research, Mawson and his team engaged in a cross-sectional survey of mothers of children who were educated at home.Homeschooling organizations from Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oregon were asked to forward an email to their members, requesting mothers to fill out an anonymous online survey.The questionnaire gathered information on vaccination status and health outcomes of their biological children who were between the ages of 6 and 12.In total, 415 mothers provided information about 666 children. Of those, just 261 (or 39 percent) had not been vaccinated.Information on pregnancy experiences, birth histories, acute and chronic conditions, and the usage of medication and health care services was also included in the data collection.Overall, the results of the study showed that while vaccinated children were less likely to have had chicken pox or pertussis, they were significantly more likely to develop other types of infections, allergies , and were more likely to be diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder (referred to in the study as an NDD).NDDs were defined as autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a learning disability, or any combination of the three. Could it be that unvaccinated children are in many ways healthier ? It certainly seems that way.The specific details of these incidents are even more shocking.
For example, the committee’s interim report from May included the false—and clearly political statement—describing Clinton’s use of a personal account as “the former secretary of state’s unusual email arrangement with herself.” No, this was an arrangement made with the State Department allowed under the rules listed in the Federal Register, which is why Colin Powell had the exact same set-up when he was secretary of state under former President George W. Bush. While that doesn’t mean the approach is wise, it’s hardly unusual given that a Republican who held Clinton’s job did it too. Senior White House staffers and presidential advisers did the same thing during the Bush Administration; at least 88 officials—including the White House Chief of Staff and Karl Rove, the president’s senior advisor—used personal emails to conduct official business over a private internet domain called gwb43.com, which was maintained on a server at the Republican National Committee. More than 22 million of those emails were deleted. As for Clinton, her first use of the personal email account for work purposes while serving as Secretary of State occurred on March 18, 2009. Before that date, she continued to utilize her Senate email address. According to current government officials, State Department experts briefed Clinton about the requirements for record preservation under the law; no evidence has yet been produced to suggest that she violated those rules. From March 18, 2009 until she left the department on February 1, 2013, government records show she sent 62,320 emails, including 30,490 that were designated as work emails. Of those, more than 90 percent were preserved on servers maintained by the federal government because Clinton sent them to accounts ending with “.gov.” This was not, however, the only email address Clinton used. The State Department maintains a separate, closed system for classified information. With the exception of one email with a member of the British government, none of Clinton’s communications with foreign officials went through her personal email account. [image: 10_21_Benghazi_14]Hillary Clinton has been at the center of a firestorm over the use of a private server for e-mails but she wasn't the first; Colin Powel also used a private e-mail server while working for the Bush administration, as did Karl Rove who deleted some 20,000 e-mails from public record from his account. JONATHAN ERNST/REUTERS By comparison, Clinton’s use of her personal email was more limited than Powell’s.
7:41 Russ: Well, it's funny you say that. Because the thing that comes to my mind as an economist is the way some macroeconomists talk about stimulus spending or government spending: we just need to--or of the money supply depending on what flavor of economist you are--we just need to tweak this variable; we have a control knob, they tell us; we've just been ignoring it or we haven't been tweaking it the right way or turning the knob the right way. And what you are suggesting is that there is something similar in climate. In the case of economics, when I say things like that, a lot of economists say, 'Oh, you just don't understand. It's not your field. There's all these studies that show that government spending stimulates the economy, and when we're in the doldrums like this, we just need to increase government spending.' And I say, 'Well, what about this event? What about that event? What about the models that don't predict so accurately?' And I assume in your field, there are people who act like there's a knob. Are they wrong? Or am I wrong about that analogy? Guest: Okay. Well, actually, it's a slow control knob. It's more the advocacy groups and Al Gore, you know, will talk about it as if there's some sort of fast control knob. But I think that people in the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ) and the climate scientists don't regard it as a fast control knob. And in fact you might have heard that the carbon dioxide that we've already admitted--there is warming in the pipeline for the next 50 years even if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide. So if you've heard 'warming is already in the pipeline' that's another way of reflecting that it's not a fast control knob. That we're stuck with what we already have in terms of atmospheric CO 2 , and that's going to be contributing to a warming effect for the next 50 years or so, even if we were to immediately, drastically, reduce CO 2 emissions. Russ: Do we know how big that warming effect would be if we did level things off? Let's just say we could hold the amount of CO 2 emitted by human beings constant. Do we have a prediction for what would happen 50 years from now? I'm sure we do. I'm sure we have many.
For TPW, it is not only important to consider density variations within the body, but also surface deformation in response to the temperature evolution at depth. As the mantle heats up, the surface will be uplifted in response to the thermal expansion of the mantle. Depending on the magnitude of this surface compensation, it is possible for PKT to act as either a net negative anomaly (Q < 0; if the thermal anomaly at depth dominates) or a net positive anomaly (Q > 0; if the topographic uplift dominates). Our PKT models do not directly take into account changes in surface topography due to thermal evolution at depth. To address this, we followed the approach used in ref. 9 and calculated the amount of surface uplift a posteriori by determining the amount of topography necessary to balance the thermal expansion/contraction of the mantle at depth. For each radial column within the model domain, we determined the initial integrated mass within that column. As the interior warms owing to the evolution of PKT, this results in an overall decrease in density in the column, which, in an incompressible model without surface flexure, leads to a small decrease in the integrated mass within the column. If we assume that the lithosphere can perfectly compensate for this change in density (which would occur only if the lithosphere was completely strengthless), then we add this missing mass back into the model at the uppermost radial volume element within the column. This added mass is a proxy for the topographic uplift resulting from this interior changes in density. Because real planetary lithospheres are not strengthless, and instead possess some rigidity, we modulated this correction by a factor we term the ‘compensation state’ C. If C = 1, then we add in the complete mass correction corresponding to a strengthless lithosphere. If C = 0, then we do not add in any mass correction, which would correspond to a completely rigid lithosphere, incapable of deforming in response to the interior thermal expansion. Thus, the total inertia tensor I PKT from the thermal model is I PKT = I interior + CI topography , in which I interior is the inertia tensor that results from summing up the contribution of each volume element within the model and I topography is the inertia tensor that results from the mass due to this dynamic topography in the upper-most grid cell.
Mr Qasab now says he is not the attacker pictured in the photograph The man alleged to be the sole surviving gunman in last year's Mumbai attacks, Mohammad Qasab, has retracted a confession that he took part. Giving evidence in his defence, Mr Qasab, a Pakistani national, said he had been forced by police to confess after being repeatedly beaten up. He said he was not the man seen in pictures wielding an assault rifle during the attacks. Mr Qasab faces 86 charges, including waging war on India and murder. The November 2008 attacks left 174 people dead, including nine gunmen, and strained ties between India and Pakistan. The BBC's Prachi Pinglay said Mr Qasab looked calm in court as he repeatedly denied having anything to do with the attacks, insisting he had been framed by the police. A special court in Mumbai (Bombay) is prosecuting him and a verdict in the case is expected early next year. 'Completely wrong' Giving evidence in court, Mr Qasab said that all previous confessions he had given in relation to the attacks were false and made under duress. He said that an identity parade in which he took part had been "manipulated" by police. Troops battled for three days to regain control of Mumbai in November 2008 He said that he had never been to any of the locations where the attacks took place and prior to his appearance in court had never even seen an AK-47 assault rifle. He said that numerous eyewitness accounts of his role in the attacks were "completely wrong". Mr Qasab said that Mumbai police had arrested him 20 days before the attacks on a beach in the state of Maharashtra and later went on to frame him. He said he was in custody when the attacks took place. He told the court that the man widely photographed as the sole surviving gunman in the attacks "was not me, but someone who resembles me". In what our correspondent says was an apparent sign of his lack of belief that he will receive a fair trial, Mr Qasab urged the judge in the case to send him to jail as soon as possible. On Wednesday the prosecution concluded its case in the trial. In all, 610 witnesses have testified since the case began in March. Our correspondent says that Mr Qasab's latest comments mean that the main defence argument is one of identity.
Previously, they would only keep track of film fans who went to the cinema between six and eights times a year. However, Jurassic World’s $1.67 billion gross was achieved thanks to the influx of casual fans.Despite the monumental oversights of the tracking system over the last few months, this summer saw the second biggest domestic box office total in the history of cinema. Tying 2011, $4.4 billion has been amassed, which is just behind 2013’s $4.9 billion. While that’s clearly a positive for the studios, they want to make sure that next summer they know exactly how much they’re getting, and where it’s coming from. Blended From Around The Web Facebook
Merkel also needed to keep open her channel to Putin. Even after the E.U. passed its first round of sanctions, in March, it was not German policy to isolate Russia—the two countries are too enmeshed. Merkel is Putin’s most important interlocutor in the West; they talk every week, if not more often. “She’s talked to Putin more than Obama, Hollande, and Cameron combined have over these past months,” the senior official said. “She has a way of talking to him that nobody has. Cameron and Hollande call him to be able to say they’re world leaders and had the conversation.” Merkel can be tough to the point of unpleasantness, while offering Putin ways out of his own mess. Above all, she tries to understand how he thinks. “With Russia now, when one feels very angry I force myself to talk regardless of my feelings,” she said at the German Historical Museum. “And every time I do this I am surprised at how many other views you can have on a matter which I find totally clear. Then I have to deal with those views, and this can also trigger something new.” Soon after the annexation of Crimea, Merkel reportedly told Obama that Putin was living “in another world.” She set about bringing him back to reality. A German official told me, “The Chancellor thinks Putin believes that we’re decadent, we’re gay, we have women with beards”—a reference to Conchita Wurst, an Austrian drag queen who won the 2014 Eurovision song contest. “That it’s a strong Russia of real men versus the decadent West that’s too pampered, too spoiled, to stand up for their beliefs if it costs them one per cent of their standard of living. That’s his wager. We have to prove it’s not true.” It’s true enough that, if Merkel were to make a ringing call to defend Western values against Russian aggression, her domestic support would evaporate. When eight members of a European observer group, including four Germans, were taken hostage by pro-Russian separatists in April—practically a casus belli, had they been Americans—the German government simply asked Putin to work for their release. Merkel was playing the game that had been successful for her in German politics: waiting for her adversary to self-destruct. On at least one phone call, Putin lied to Merkel, something that he hadn’t done in the past.
It's actually an older unit - the next generation of digital VCRs coming out in 1994 will hold 100 gigabytes per tape, which means that a single piece of media with a cost of about $10 should be able to hold all of the conversations an individual has for their entire lifetime. Video takes considerably more room than audio. If you assume that this sort of archival video can be a bit lower quality than standard VHS, it will take about 1.5 megabits per second with off the shelf compression methods. This means that recording video onto digital would cost about eight cents per hour using digital video tape, or a couple hundred dollars per year. Note that this is a 1994 cost - within a few years it will be far cheaper. Location is another important attribute. This can be obtained with a small GPS receiver, or a variety of other small wireless devices. Recording the precise location (within a couple of feet) and the precise time of every movement a person or vehicle makes is far smaller amount of storage than voice. While we are at it, we could record temperature (ambient as well as body temperature), barometric pressure, blood pressure and a variety of other data about you or your surroundings. Those of us who work with computer will also create files, receive email and so forth. A really fast typist can do about 100 words per minute with a 5 character word length, or about 30K bytes per hour. Lossless compression can typically reduce this to about a third, so this is about 100 times smaller than voice. Mouse motions and application commands are tiny on top of this, so we certainly have the capability to spool all keystrokes, commands and files that an individual creates over their lifetime at a fraction of the cost of voice. The result is that it is easily possible to create general digital recorders which will spool audio, video and other data very cheaply. Cryptographic techniques can be used to time stamp or location stamp these records with digital signatures so that they cannot be forged or tampered with. The entire input and output of an individual's life can be spooled and recorded onto digital media. From there it is a small matter to index it for retrieval based upon time, location and content (via off line speech recognition).
The starter home flats at Trinity Square by Galliard Homes went for a combined £60 million, or an average of £700 per sq ft. Londoners looking for affordable housing did not hesitate to camp out for up to two days to snag a flat, despite the fact that the project will not be complete for another two years. Galliard 10/15 The longest lateral flat where H.G wells hosted a book club: yours for £3.65m The 2,200 square foot apartment in Chiltern Court in Marylebone was also home to author Arnold Bennett and political cartoonist David Low. Now on the market for £3.65 million through Rokstone agency, the four-bedroom flat has been refurbished into a luxury apartment, providing an exceptional 40 meter window frontage and depth. It claims to be the longest and most outstanding lateral flat - ones that stretch the full width of a building, or sometimes across two buildings - currently for sale in London’s West End. Rokstone 11/15 Gatti House: the flats with celebrity links and private "pizza" lift that sold for a collective £16.5 million Celebrity links, a famous history and a private “pizza lift” has helped set a new record for price per square foot for a block of flats in central London. The four flats have sold for a collective £16.5 million at Gatti House on London’s Strand. Gatti House, a magnificent grade II building built in 1867, was sold as four separate apartments priced from £2.95 million to £5.95 million by CBRE Residential and Beauchamp, which has completed the last remaining sale. CBRE Residential and Beauchamp 12/15 London’s most expensive office A newly refurbished office in the heart of Mayfair measuring 6,000 sq ft was unveiled by Enstar Capital in October. At £500 per sq ft, it is set to be the most expensive commercial fit out ever undertaken in the West End, according to the developer. The workspace on 54 Brooks Mews features gold-plated executive washrooms inspired by Armani-hotel in Italy, timber flooring imported from a 16th century monastery in Tuscany and an Art Deco entrance restored with a new “54” entrance logo replicating Steve Rubell’s famous “studio 54” nightclub logo from the seventies. While the director’s floor include a rooftop terrace dressed with loungers and an outside meeting and dining table.
He talks about designing the Fathiers, horse-like creatures that he described in the script as “graceful creatures, very wise-looking and sympathetic; kind of like horses, kind of like greyhounds”, but which, at one point in the process, ended up looking like “a koala bear with horse ears”. While most of the storyline and set-pieces are kept tightly under wraps, John Boyega did hint at an effects-heavy action sequence he took part in. “There’s a really a big whole chase sequence, kind of like in the mirror of what happened with Finn and Rey when they went into the Falcon. But now it’s Finn and Rose. And that whole sequence, it took two weeks to film, in which both of us were on a rig for two weeks. And that was… Yeah, that was excruciating,” he laughs. “Excruciating pain. But the excitement and the adrenaline and the kind of fear that you have to show when the cameras are rolling… It makes it really, really fun.” Finn seems to have a lot of action lined up in The Last Jedi, as Boyega talks about “loads of Stormtroopers flying around on rigs getting blown up” and Finn’s reunion with Captain Phasma, who he left for dead in the last film. “That’s the last time he saw his ex-boss,” Boyega says of Phasma. “And unfortunately he has to go back to work in this film. And they do meet. It’s not the best reunion in the world.” Boyega describes Finn as being on the First Order’s “no-breathe list”. “Finn is now a known kind of space terrorist,” he says. “They see him as a rogue. So that causes a lot of tension. He can’t just go through space the way he used to.” For the returning cast, the action is something they have become used to, and Daisy Ridley was surprised by how much stronger she was this time around. “First time around, it was the first time I ever physically trained for anything,” she says. “And I thought I’d reached my limit of what I could do. And then second time around, you’re like: ‘Oh… okay, I think I can do a bit more than that.’ So physically I felt much stronger and my stamina was higher on everything.” But while action is, and will always be, one of the main cornerstones of Star Wars, the cast frequently talk about how Johnson is doing something a little different this time round.
This dialectical-materialist theory of the process of development of knowledge, basing itself on practice and proceeding from the shallower to the deeper, was never worked out by anybody before the rise of Marxism. Marxist materialism solved this problem correctly for the first time, pointing out both materialistically and dialectically the deepening movement of cognition, the movement by which man in society progresses from perceptual knowledge to logical knowledge in his complex, constantly recurring practice of production and class struggle. Lenin said, “The abstraction of matter, of a law of nature, the abstraction of value, etc., in short, all scientific (correct, serious, not absurd) abstractions reflect nature more deeply, truly and completely.”[4] Marxism-Leninism holds that each of the two stages in the process of cognition has its own characteristics, with knowledge manifesting itself as perceptual at the lower stage and logical at the higher stage, but that both are stages in an integrated process of cognition. The perceptual and the rational are qualitatively different, but are not divorced from each other; they are unified on the basis of practice. Our practice proves that what is perceived cannot at once be comprehended and that only what is comprehended can be more deeply perceived. Perception only solves the problem of phenomena; theory alone can solve the problem of essence. The solving of both these problems is not separable in the slightest degree from practice. Whoever wants to know a thing has no way of doing so except by coming into contact with it, that is, by living (practicing) in its environment. In feudal society it was impossible to know the laws of capitalist society in advance because capitalism had not yet emerged, the relevant practice was lacking. Marxism could be the product only of capitalist society. Marx, in the era of laissez-faire capitalism, could not concretely know certain laws peculiar to the era of imperialism beforehand, because imperialism, the last stage of capitalism, had not yet emerged and the relevant practice was lacking; only Lenin and Stalin could undertake this task. Leaving aside their genius, the reason why Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin could work out their theories was mainly that they personally took part in the practice of the class struggle and the scientific experimentation of their time; lacking this condition, no genius could have succeeded.
“We have a lot of users who are concerned that they would lose access to birth control and certain users who were talking about stockpiling birth control,” said Hans Gangeskar, who co-founded the San Francisco startup. Nurx doesn’t encourage hoarding, and birth control pills usually expire after about 12 months, but “we always think it’s a good idea for women to have an extra pack or two, from a logistical perspective,” he said. The birth control mandate is rooted in the Affordable Care Act, but the law doesn’t have to be repealed for the mandate to end. The law says insurance must cover preventive health benefits for women, and leaves it up to the Department of Health and Human Services to decide what counts. In 2011, it decided that birth control counted. (The rule was later clarified to mean that of the 18 categories of birth control that are FDA-approved, most insurers have to cover at least one drug or device in each category. That means, for instance, that some health plans cover certain brands of birth control pills at no cost to consumers, but don't cover others.) The new administration could simply write a regulation that says otherwise. “That policy of requiring no co-pay for contraceptive coverage was huge and allowed many millions of women access to birth control care in a way that made it accessible and affordable,” said Amy Friedrich-Karnik, senior federal policy advisor at the Center for Reproductive Rights, an advocacy group. “That policy and that access is really threatened,” particularly for low-income women and women of color. Still, it’s hard to predict how quickly the Affordable Care Act as a whole will actually go away, and whether or not alternative sources of birth control, like startups, could become crucial as a result. The startups also say they are optimistic about staying operational even without the health care law: “You will need the pill whether you have Obamacare or not,” Chang said in an email.
Cliven Bundy has given Democrats a golden opportunity to attack Republicans with his racist comments, Sean Hannity, the Nevada rancher's most visible media backer, claimed Thursday.Bundy's views are "repugnant," Hannity said, and they give ammunition to those who try to label all Republicans racists.Hannity's comments came as Bundy, 67, doubled down on his comments on radio. He told The Peter Schiff Show he was "wondering" if blacks are better off now than they were under slavery. "I said I'm wondering if they're better off under government subsidy and the young women are having abortions, their young men are in jail and their older women and children are sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do," Bundy told Schiff. "I'm wondering are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves and they were able to have their family structure together and chickens and doggies and the people have something to do. "In my mind, I'm wondering are they better off being slaves in that sense or better off being slaves to the United States government in the sense of subsidy. "Hannity has given heavy coverage to Bundy on his Fox News Channel and syndicated radio shows — so much so that critics, including Jon Stewart , have accused him of backing Bundy's anti-federal government rhetoric and actions.But Hannity has denied that, and said Thursday he was "pissed off" at Bundy's latest comments to supporters that were quoted in The New York Times Hannity attacked Bundy's remarks at his first opportunity. "His comments are beyond repugnant to me," he said on his radio show, Thursday. "They are beyond despicable to me. They are beyond ignorant to me. "Hannity compared Bundy to former Missouri Rep. Todd Akin, who in his 2012 race for U.S. Senate said women's bodies reject a pregnancy caused by "legitimate rape." Bundy's comments, too, will be fuel for Democrats, Hannity said, pointing to New York Democratic Rep. Steve Israel who recently said the GOP's base is " animated by racism . ""Every conservative that I know does not support racism, period," Hannity told his audience.He said the left has its own share of racists who "get a pass." But he added that, unlike left-wing hypocrites, "I find it repugnant whoever it comes from. "Later, during an appearance on CNN, host Bill Weir asked Bundy how it felt to be be "abandoned by your friends on Fox?

May 8th will be upon us before we know it, and what the Texans will do with the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft remains cloudy. At this point it would appear trading down, or selecting Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortles, Jadeveon Clowney, or Teddy Bridgewater are the likely scenarios. With each of the guys projected to go near the top of the draft, there are issues or concerns with all of them ranging from mechanical issues, to projectability, to motor and work ethic concern. Names such a Khalil Mack, Jake Matthews, and Greg Robinson have been mentioned near the top of the first, but will likely slot into picks 2-7 with a slim chance of being selected number one overall by Texans brass. I'll preface this by saying I'm certainly not the most credible source in terms of evaluating the skillset of a QB and how they translate to the NFL, but below we'll hope to provide a somewhat thorough profile of the possible draftees.The legend of Johnny Football. Manziel embodies the phrase dynamic. The Aggie great experienced a brilliant college career becoming the first freshman to receive the Heisman trophy. Johnny Football is best known for his truly unique ability to improvise and extend plays, working very well outside of the pocket with his feet. Johnny enhanced virtually every aspect of his game his redshirt Sophomore year, most importantly his effectiveness within the pocket. On five fewer passing attempts, Johnny threw for 408 more yards, improved his completion percentage to 70%, on 9.6 yards per attempt with an impressive 37 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. Manziel also placed a greater emphasis on his arm, making 57 fewer rushing attempts during his 2013 campaign.Strengths in number two's game include his ability to extend plays, feel and elude pressure in the pocket, and short to intermediate accuracy with flashes of brilliant deepball placement. Johnny is a spark plug, a gunslinger, and a fiery competitor. The negatives in Johnny's game include reluctance to checkdown, a habbit of abandoning a closing pocket too often, and some question his mechanics, consistency in his deepball, ability to read defenses, and footwork. It remains to be seen how effective Johnny Football's legendary ability to extend plays will transfer to the next level, and his gunslinger mentality may get him into some turnover trouble.
'Clobbering' rich Later on Sunday, a Conservative Party spokesman said: "People should be clear that the promise we made on inheritance tax is a promise we will keep. It will be in the manifesto. "But for years George Osborne has said he will not write budgets - including the 2010 one - in advance. "We are only able to help people who have saved to pass on something on to their children because we have identified those who will pay for it - non-domiciles." David Cameron said recently the rich would have to pay their "fair share" to rescue the economy. This stance has angered, among others, former Cabinet minister Lord Tebbit and London Mayor Boris Johnson who warned that "clobbering the rich" would be bad for business. Mr Johnson said it would send out the wrong signal and "deter enterprise". But Mr Clarke said his Tory colleague was "just wrong" on this and described the planned 45% tax band as largely "symbolic". "It is not going to raise much money. It is not going to turn off entrepreneurship," he added.

Figure 4: Population analysis of MTL concept cells. (a) Average firing rate of all concept cells identified in the amygdala (n = 57) in the different phases of the task. Shaded areas represent ± s.e.m. across neurons. Gray vertical bars mark periods of time during which an image was on the screen. Bottom panel marks points of time during which the activity of the cells was significantly different (black) between trials when a preferred image was in memory vs. when it was not (corrected for multiple comparisons based on cluster size; Online Methods). Colors mark different trials as indicated. For subplots a–d, only correct trials were used. (b) PSI during encoding, maintenance and retrieval for all identified concept cells (each data point is one neuron; data points are sorted according to the encoding phase of the task). Neurons in both amygdala and hippocampus, but not in dACC, maintained their selectivity throughout the task and showed persistent activity. Significance was computed against chance (PSI = 0). (c) PSI for different load conditions indicated that neurons maintained persistent activity for loads 1–3 in amygdala and 1–2 in hippocampus, but did not do so in dACC. (d) PSI for loads 2 and 3 as a function of whether the preferred image was shown first, second or third during encoding. This shows that images that were shown directly before the maintenance period did not have greater selectivity (load 2, P = 0.702; load 3, P = 0.873). (e) Relationship between firing rates of concept cells in the MTL and behavior. The firing rate was significantly higher for correct compared to incorrect trials only when the preferred stimulus was held in memory. For c–e, PSI and firing rate were calculated for the entire maintenance period. P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and **P < 0.001 as estimated with permutation tests. In b–e, thick and thin blue lines represent the mean and ± s.e.m., respectively. Pre-SMA is not shown in this figure because we did not identify any concept cells in this area. Full size image
If one of these spent shells is in the chamber, racking the slide will, in a single fluid motion, eject the old shell out the side of the gun and push a fresh round into the chamber. As I racked the shotgun, fired it, and racked it again, one detail from the police reports nagged at me. At the house on Hollis Avenue, the officers had discovered a cardboard box of twenty-five rounds on Amy’s bed. Four rounds were missing. She had fired one of them in her bedroom. (The police recovered the spent shell on the bedroom floor.) A second round had killed Seth. They discovered a third round in Amy’s jacket pocket. And, when the police examined the shotgun after taking it from Amy, they found the fourth round. It was in the chamber, ready to fire. After you have fired a pump-action shotgun, the only way to chamber another round is to pump it again. So at some point after shooting Seth and before being arrested, Amy must have racked the slide, jettisoning the shell that had killed her brother and loading a fresh one in its place. When Amy arrived at the Braintree police station, she was taken to the booking room. Pointing a loaded weapon at anybody is grounds for a felony charge of assault, and brandishing a gun in front of a police officer is an affront to law enforcement that is seldom taken lightly. So why did the police let Amy Bishop go? Soon after the Alabama massacre, Paul Frazier, the Braintree chief of police, offered an unsettling answer. At a press conference, he was unambiguous in his assignment of blame. One of the lieutenants had been booking Amy, he explained, when he was informed that the police chief had ordered her release. A reporter asked Frazier who the chief had been at the time. “John Polio,” he replied.

In the West-Germanic languages, theinwas transformed into anunder the influence of a following(for example Gothic, but Old High German, Old English'army;' this also explains the difference between Modern Englishetc.). Therefore, the adjectiveshows up asfrom Middle High German on and still exists in Modern German as'strange.' The word is used particularly frequently in Swiss German, wheredesignates 'French-speaking Switzerland,'refers to a former Burgundian defensive barrier, oris the term for a Romansh dialect once spoken in the city of Chur.There are many more examples that testify to the Proto-Germanic root, like the Modern Dutch word'Waloon' for the predominantly French-speaking southern part of Belgium or the Old Norse adjective'French, Romance.' Even, a region in Romania famous for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, or the, an antiquated name for Romanians themselves, ultimately derive from the same base: Slavic speakers took over the word from German and continued the tradition to use it for foreign people, except that it was now applied to Romance speakers in Eastern instead of Western Europe.The Germanic tribes of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes invaded England in the fifth century and also brought along with them the word. They used it to refer to the local Romanized Celtic population. But the encounter between British Celts and Anglo-Saxons was not a peaceful one: The invaders quickly displaced, murdered or enslaved the Celtic-speaking peoples. Gildas, a sixth century British cleric, writes about his fellow Celtic countrymen:"Some […] were murdered in great numbers; others, constrained by famine, came and yielded themselves to be slaves for ever to their foes, running the risk of being instantly slain, which truly was the greatest favour that could be offered to them. […] Others remained still in their country, committing the safeguard of their lives, which were in continual jeopardy, to the mountains, precipices, thickly wooded forests, and to the rocks of the seas." (Gildas', 25)Even though the attackers were the newcomers to the land, they called the ancestral population the, 'strangers.' The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records,'473 A.D. thefled from the English like fire. ''607 A.D. And this year Ethelfrith led a troop to Chester and there murdered a huge number ofand thus was fulfilled Augustine’s prophecy when he said, “if thedon’t wish peace with us, they shall perish at the hands of the Saxons. "'More clearly than in other languages,took on the meaning not just of foreigner but of 'the other' in Old English; it became a term for an inferior race, worthy of enslavement.
If so, his disappearance from history (perhaps due to an early death, since all his presumed work appeared in just three years from 1530–1533) may have allowed Garamond's reputation to develop in the following decade.Vervliet does however note that attributions of the Estienne type to Garamond do begin quite early. ^ [34] A famous example of this style of italic with upright capitals is the work of Arrighi in Rome, which also inspired French printers of the sixteenth century. Early italic typefaces were not intended as complements to roman type , but as a more condensed alternative.
(Jenkins eventually wrote a life of him, and ended up surprised by his own high opinion.) The revisionism from Churchill’s own side is more marked; some on the British right even see him as the man who helped lose the Empire in a self-intoxicated excess of oratory that was the sort of thing only Americans would take seriously. It is typical of what his American fans can miss that a writer for the Wall Street Journal recently quoted Gore Vidal calling Evelyn Waugh a kind of prose Churchill, and thought this flattering to Waugh. In fact, Waugh disliked Churchill, prose and politics alike—his alter ego, Guy Crouchback, calls him “a professional politician, a master of sham-Augustan prose, a Zionist, an advocate of the popular front in Europe, an associate of the press-lords and of Lloyd George”—and his dry-eyed, limpid, every-pebble-in-its-place language was utterly remote from Churchill’s sonorous, neo-Latinate sentences, and meant to be so. But book after book about Churchill still comes: in the past few years a life by the omnivorous biographer Paul Johnson, “Churchill” (Viking; $24.95); a complete collection of Churchill’s quotations, “Churchill by Himself ” (Public Affairs; $29.95); and new and more specialized studies of Churchill at war, Churchill at Yalta, and Churchill in the memory of his countrymen. All these supplement the standard biographies, which include Martin Gilbert’s official multivolume history, published in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, Jenkins’s single-volume life, from 2001, and John Keegan’s crisp and authoritative life, from the year after. Meanwhile, the American historian John Lukacs’s decades’ worth of books about Churchill—slicing fine tranches of the crucial months and weeks and even days—remain the most insightful studies of Churchill’s psychology and political practice. Reading all these, one finds a Churchill who is a good deal more compelling than the eternal iron man. Goethe wrote that Hamlet was a man who was asked to do something that seemed impossible for that man to do. Churchill is a kind of Hamlet in reverse, a man who was called on, late in life, to do the one thing he was uniquely able to do, and did it.
Rating: for PlayStation 3 is a mess. It’s a bizarre, endearing, nearly broken, intriguing, ugly, wonderful mess.FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan (and his mysterious sidekick Zach), have been called to the town of Greenvale to investigate the tragic murder of a local beauty. An open-world action/survival horror game, everything aboutsounds wonderful on paper. There’s a big world to explore, dozens of characters to interact with, side-missions galore and a dark murder mystery beating at the heart of everything. As you might recall from the game’s original release on the Xbox 360 back in 2010, however, the vehicle through which this content is delivered is damn-near impossible to describe.refuses to be broken down into its individual pieces. Or, if that’s how you look at the game, you’re going to walk away with a very different experience than the one I had. Despite being awith improved graphics and controls,for the PS3 would be considered a “bad” game if it were being judged on the usual criteria of sound, graphics, etc. Even with a new HD spit-shine, the game is pretty hideous. The colors are muddy, the animations are robotic and the scenery has about as much detail as a cardboard diorama. And if these controls are improved from the previous version of the game, I hate to imagine what the Xbox 360 crowd had to wrestle with just a couple of years ago.Butis far more than the sum of its parts. The best comparison I’ve been able to come up with is if someone wanted to make a good modern grindhouse film. There are certain aspects of the genre that actually need to come off poorly in order for the concept to work. In other words, certain things need to be “bad” in order for the full package to be “good.”Whathas going for it are a generally great soundtrack, an engrossing and often complex story, one of the most interesting lead characters to ever grace a video game and lots of wonderful ideas.But like that modern grindhouse flick I was just talking about, everything about the game is antiquated in a way that somehow fits together perfectly. With those core “good” aspects drivingonward, all of the “bad” bits and pieces come together in a way that works perfectly despite its many flaws.
In Europe, if not in the United States, some people are beginning to grasp that just maybe they made a mistake when they decided to welcome millions of immigrants over the last several decades. The most recent European to get it is former West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who has been making noises about the damage he and his colleagues have inflicted on their own societies. Interviewed in a Hamburg newspaper last month, Mr. Schmidt confessed, “The concept of multiculturalism is difficult to make fit with a democratic society” and that importing thousands of Turkish “gastarbeiter,” or foreign guest workers, into Germany over the last several decades was a bit of a boo-boo. As the London Daily Telegraph reported the story, Mr. Schmidt, Social Democratic chancellor of West Germany from 1974 to 1982, “said that the problems resulting from the influx of mostly Turkish Gastarbeiter, or guest workers, had been neglected in Germany and the rest of Europe. They could be overcome only by authoritarian governments, he added, naming Singapore as an example.” He’s hardly the first to see this, although admittedly, at the age of 85, he’s just a wee bit behind the curve. As long ago as 1990, I wrote, in an article in Chronicles magazine, “The late Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the dominions of the Habsburgs and the Romanoffs, among others, all presided over a kind of rainbow coalition of nations and peoples, who for the most part managed to live happily because their secret compulsions to spill each other’s blood was restrained by the overwhelming power of the despots and dynasties who ruled them. “Political freedom relies on a shared political culture as much as on the oppositions and balances that social differentiation creates, and when the common culture disintegrates under the impact of mass migrations, only institutionalized force can hold the regime together.” That’s a bit of a mouthful, but I gather it’s what Mr. Schmidt was driving at. To have freedom on a stable political basis, you have to have a homogeneous culture and society, composed of people who share the same values and beliefs. If they don’t share them, you can hold them together only by force.
Notably, the most recent Alex Jones "epic rant" gives you a sense of the almost manic frustration and anger that's boiling over (fast forward to 7:00 to really witness Jones at his most "epic").Regardless of what any of us believe about the whispers or rumors, what's clear at this point is that. It is now conceivable that they are figuring out how to get rid of her in a way that can serve the theatrics necessary to radically change the election narrative.From the point of view of globalists, eliminating Clinton through a carefully planned "execution" that can be blamed on Trump supporters achieves two important goals at once: 1) It allows the democrats to replace her with a candidate who doesn't suck. 2) It allows the media to maliciously blame Trump -- based on his "Second Amendment people" comment -- and possibly swing some support back into the democrat camp. To pull this off, right now they would need to be brainwashing a "lone gunman" and fabricating an entire back story of social media posts, a manifesto and other materials that can be cited by CNN to link the gunman to Trump. (REDDIT users, be ready to start vetting all this if an "assassination" actually takes place...)Is Trump also a target? Eliminating only Trump without simultaneously dispatching Clinton does not achieve this goal as neatly for the globalists, because the assassination of Trump alone would almost certainly set off a nationwide armed revolt leading to chaos or even civil war... and that's not what the globalists want right now... they want "controlled peace," meaning an orderly but obedient society where no one is allowed to speak any words at all that challenge the consensus reality of the controllers (hence the need for politically correct speech controls). See my recent mini-documentary The WAR on REALITY: How globalists occupy your mind to control everything However, assassinating BOTH candidates at the same time -- conceivably with a bomb or chemical weapon at an upcoming debate -- would in fact allow globalists to replace both parties' nominees with obedient globalist puppets (Jeb Bush on the right, Joe Biden on the left).
It is all pretty faceless and sterile, you click a few buttons, your product arrives, and that is it really. Doc has rekindled a level of connection with a customer which I honestly thought was lost these days. He has totally taken me aback. You see, from the moment you order a Great AsWeGo kazoo, Doc is in touch with you right away, letting you know what is happening with the order. And by that I don't just mean, "it's done, it's in the post" (though he does tell you that too... ) Oh no, quite the opposite.As part of your order, Doc ensures that you are treated to a complete and personal behind the scenes look at your kazoo being made. His messages are friendly and interesting, letting you know what he thinks of the grain and the tone, advising on the finish of the instrument (he offers both a basic butchers block sealant or the popular beeswax finish - I went for the latter). In short, his great enthusiasm makes the order more than just a mere 'purchase' and more of an 'event'. I can't remember waiting for something in the post with quite so much anticipation!But there is more. Customers also receive personalised videos to accompany their kazoo build, and Doc posts them on his YouTube channel , his Facebook page and let's you know by email too. The first video shows the basic roughed out kazoo before the final shaping and sanding together with a personal message from Doc and a kazoo soundtest Here is mine! ( I just sat grinning watching this video when it first went live! )Video number two shows your kazoo taking shape with the sanding and finishing, and video three is a final sign off in which Doc shows you the finished product, gives it a final sound test and wishes you well. These are NOT generic videos and the personal angle is just brilliant. Doc records these for every customer who orders a kazoo to be built from scratch. Why don't more manufacturers do this?Doc then ships his instruments all over the world. I particularly like the note on his website that he tries to be totally green in his production, with all his packaging being re-used cardboard. In fact he says if he could find a way of creating recycled packing tape he would!
Samhain thus ended without the glory and influence they deserved, but not without giving fans one true classic.Walk Among Us(1982)History was rewritten when the 1978-recorded Static Age finally saw a release in 1996, so it's easy to forget that Walk Among Us was actually the first full-length to be released by the Misfits. Because of the years in between the recording of the two albums, WAU is the more consistent one, benefitting from a fully formed horror-punk sound and aesthetic.From the album's title (inspired by 1956 film The Creature Walks Among Us) and cover to tracks like "I Turned into a Martian," "Night of the Living Dead" and "Astro Zombies," the theme was heavily and playfully rooted in '50s/'60s horror and sci-fi, and no matter how cartoonish it gets — "Brains for dinner / Brains for lunch / Brains for breakfast / Brains for brunch" Danzig sings on "Braineaters" — they can still drop in a thrash-punk blinder called "Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight" that is dead fucking serious.Despite being recorded at a number of studios, Danzig managed to make Walk Among Us cohesive with a series of overdubs. And yet, there is still a rawness to these hard-charging anthems that upholds its legacy as rightfully punk. Coming in at under 25 minutes, it's a total romp that remains one of punk rock's most inimitable albums.Danzig III: How the Gods Kill(1992)Whereas the first two Danzig LPs shared plenty of common ground both thematically and sonically, the band's third broke new territory. How the Gods Kill found Danzig sinking deeper into the recesses of his soul, pulling out a collection of songs that found the band progressing far beyond simple blues metal. Featuring a modified version of H.R. Giger's goth masterpiece, Meister und Margarita on the cover, Danzig conjured a nightmarish world over 10 songs that complemented the piece.Danzig himself has said this album was "full of violent frustration," and he lays it out at the start with the religion-baiting "Godless," a relentlessly swelling track that finds him agonizingly delivering his words over Christ's fretboard annihilation. In fact, the guitarist steals the show on just about every song here, laying down chunky riffs on "Dirty Black Summer" and "When the Dying Calls" deserving of Guitar Hero immortalization.But it's the softer moments that make HtGK such a unique beast.
This is a very small sample size, but is nevertheless an encouraging sign that scouts will continue to monitor moving forward. While he does not possess a particularly quick release, and shoots an incredibly high arcing rainbow jumper, his mechanics are consistent and he's been very reliable with both his feet set and off the dribble.Where Schroeder must improve on the most is as a scorer inside the arc, where he's converted just 33% of his 2-point attempts this season. He doesn't always go as strong to the rim as his speed suggests he can, preferring at times to pull up in the mid-range when he has a path to the basket, which is a much lower percentage attempt, and which is not a strength of his at this stage. When he does drive all the way into the lane, he often struggles to finish around the rim due to his lack of strength, particularly with his left hand. To reach his potential as a scorer, Schroeder must improve upon his ability to draw fouls inside the paint and earn easy points from the free throw line, as well as polish his in-between game, including his floater.Having only turned 19 last month, and listed at just 157 pounds by his team, it's clear that he has a ways to go in terms of maturing physically still, which is more noticeable at this level playing against grown men than it might be at the college level versus similarly aged players.Schroeder can also clearly still improve on the mental side of the game, as is always the case with players this age. His decision making ability still needs work, as he's fairly turnover prone, something that has been an issue throughout his career. He looks a little nonchalant with the ball and will try and force the issue at times, as it's clear that he still lacks much in the ways of experience at this level of competition and is still figuring out what works and what doesn't.More concerning is the body language he shows on occasion, as he seemingly loses his temper somewhat easily, and can be a bit too demonstrative around his teammates, especially considering his age. He faced harsh criticism for this from his former U18 national team, Kay Blumel: He's not a bad kid, but sometimes his behavior towards his teammates is not how it should be," the coach told FIBA Europe.com in July of 2011.

A setting of ~26 in the OSD brightness control should return you a luminance close to 120 cd/m2 out of the box. On another positive note, the brightness regulation is controlled without the need for the use of the now infamous Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), and so those who suffer from eye fatigue or headaches associated with flickering backlights need not worry. There was no audible noise or buzzing from the screen, even when specifically looking for it using test images with a large amount of text at once. The screen also remains cool even during prolonged use. There are a few extras provided here as well including a 4x port USB 3.0 hub on the back, two with charging support. There is an audio output for headphone connection if you want, with the display also offering 2x 7W stereo speakers. The ambient light system provides an attractive lighting option for darker environments as well which some people will like. There were no further extras such as ambient light sensors or card readers on this model which can be useful in office environments. There was a good range of ergonomic adjustments available from the stand allowing you to obtain a comfortable position for a wide variety of angles of tilt, swivel and height adjustments. The VESA mounting support may also be useful to some people as well.
LABOR, the Coalition and the Greens have all missed the mark on asylum seeker policy. Why?Their failure to acknowledge the underlying issue of overpopulation.In simple terms, human overpopulation occurs if the number of people exceeds a region’s environmental carrying capacity. We must therefore be mindful of the population size that a region’s environmental resources – like arable land and water – it can sustain indefinitely.Kevin Rudd recently observed that the world has changed since the UN’s 1951 Refugee Convention was created.Then, potential refugee flows numbered only tens of thousands; now they are tens of millions.While the global population has ballooned from 2.5 billion to over 7 billion people since World War II, political tussles have given way to protracted ecological resource show-downs. Overpopulation is now the leading cause of conflict.Human nature is the same the world over. People are compassionate and tolerant while their own lives and livelihoods are secure. But any scarcity of resources soon leads to intensified competition, either contained by rigid and intolerant hierarchies or devolving into conflict between groups. It doesn’t matter whether it is religion, ethnicity or political affiliation that identifies “us” and “them” in these conflicts. They are essentially misdirected anger, and their political or military resolution does not solve the underlying resource scarcity.Egypt is a case in point. It allowed population to reach twice the size it could feed domestically, while using oil revenue to buy food. As soon as Egypt became a net importer of oil, tensions erupted.Syria’s conflict was triggered by a lack of water, as ever-intensifying agriculture sucked the wells dry.Naturally, the poor farmers suffered first, and blamed government cronies with large commercial farms and more pumping power. However, their absence would barely have delayed the shortage. Across the cereal belt of the Middle East, northern India and China, falling water tables threaten similar tensions.Many of the nations of Asia and Latin America that were poorest 50 years ago are now peaceful and developing. They embraced voluntary family planning, stabilised population and stemmed the dilution of resources. Sri Lanka was one of the early adopters, in all regions except the Tamil north where high birth rates continued to deepen the scarcity of land and livelihood. This opened a conspicuous divide in wealth between north and south. A continuous outflow of job-seekers to other regions fueled resentment.
They also asked me to work for 20 hours but salary will be paid for only 10 hours. It's just a thing in Australia for fair-work rights policy and they couldn't hire a dev for $15/hr. Anyway, I didn't mind initially.Hence, I started my studies and part-time job and after a while realized that it isn't sufficient to survive in Sydney. I joined another part-time job at startup in Wollongong ( 2 hours train ride from Sydney CBD ). They paid me $50 for 5 hours work. It seemed fine to me to earn $1400/month by working at two startups, one that was paying for 10 hours but getting 20 or 30 hours of work and another paying for a day. I mean, it's not logical but you have to survive and get a job initially that is flexible with your studies and that was my whole purpose. I did give my best at both the startups but due to study workload, I decided to leave the startup at Wollongong, I got attached to people there but had to leave.After leaving there, I worked 4 days at Docit, for I enjoyed working with backend dev and the discussions, the product. For a while, it felt right but I was still getting paid for 10 hours while giving more than 20 hours at work. The work started growing on me and after the product reached the market, there were requirements that are really unrealistic to achieve in short amount of time frame, still I managed to do it, for pressure is a good way to learn skills at exponential rate.This was a time, when I worked quite hard and delivered requirements while studying at SydneyUni, doing assignments and quizzes. And I remember what happened one day, is I didn't go to work a day and they paid $70 less for that week and next day these co-founders said that you are not delivering as expected, you need to push more. I thought maybe I'm not delivering upto expectation, I did my best next week too but heard the same review again and decided to leave the work. Since I got paid less and my salary got delayed by 3 weeks, I had trouble surviving during that time, for which I have to live without eating food and borrowing money from my brother for my expenses.
27:48 Russ: Let me turn to a different question related to morality. Which is: Your book is relentlessly critical of religion and belief in God. It's a subtheme that runs through it. And although Smith argues that our conscience comes from those around us, he doesn't rule out the possibility of God. And I would argue that Hayek, another modern champion of the ideas in your book, was a believer that morality did have an enormous reliance on religion. I'm going to quote him and ask for your response. Because you view it as a negative, or at least as a sort of irrelevance in the emergence of morality. So, Hayek said [in The Fatal Conceit--Econlib Ed.] the following: Like it or not, we owe the persistence of certain practices, and the civilization that resulted from them in part to support from beliefs which are not true--or verifiable or testable--in the same sense as our scientific statements, which are certainly not the result of rational argumentation. They did help their adherents to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it. And I'm continuing quoting Hayek: Even those among us like myself who are not prepared to accept the anthropomorphic conception of a personal deity ought to admit that the premature loss of what we regard as non-factual beliefs would have deprived mankind of a powerful support in the long development of the extended order that we now enjoy. And that even now the loss of those beliefs, whether true or false, creates great difficulties. So, your book is a counterpoint to that. Why do you disagree with it? Guest: Yeah. Well, basically because I think that case has not been made. That is a very, very common view, that on the whole we would have become as moral as we are less rapidly if we hadn't had supernatural beliefs, essentially, to put it blunt[?]. And that's an extremely widespread view to this day. And Hayek makes that. And my problem with that is twofold. One, I simply can't see the dispassionate evidence for it. I mean, sure, religions have been promulgators of morality in recent centuries. Before that, they weren't, frankly. Very few religions were really saying anything moral, for large chunks of history. Rather, were saying a lot of immoral things, like beat up your rival revisions[?] and so on.
I have personally looked into dozens of cases with multiple witnesses of varied socio-cultural backgrounds, finding true cases of UFO encounters as well as with the presence of occupants, such as the famous incident I dubbed “The Amelia Case: Contact in Necochea, Argentina” on 14 February 1988, with the sighting of two humanoid beings, and years ago, on 31 August 1978, a sighting of strange amorphous beings – a case I dubbed “The Estancia La Dulce Case – A UFO Encounter with Amorphous Entities”, and more recently the strange photo taken in November 2013 at Necochea Beach, showing the photo of a tall humanoid – an image that went around the world through the news and UFO media. “The Humanoid of Necochea Beach”, was the title I gave it. They have also left their mark in a wealth of landing incidents, such as the Aeroclub Gral. Necochea incident of 9 November 1968, the ground marks found on February 1988 in a house in Miguel Lillo Park, the six circles discovered on Thursday, 11 February 1988 on the premises of the Sociedad Rural de Necochea (“Strange Prints in Necochea”) and finally, another print found on 24 December 2013 near a field in Necochea (“Strange Print Found in a Field Near Necochea”) where a large, perfect circle measuring 11 meters was found in a wheat field. The cases continue and I could keep listing them --- UFO chases such as the famous case known as “The Necochea Incident: Analysis of a Contact” in August 1962, micro-flaps in 1978 during the month of August of that year, and may other events that took place in various seasons of the year since 1962 (which I have followed up on and researched many years later, as I wasn’t born at the time) to this date. Multiple sightings over the city, over the sea, over the Quequén River, over the Park, over the adjacent locality of Quequén, photographs, video recordings of these events, and coming across the widest variety of witnesses as the protagonists of these events.What happened last May on the shores of Argentina can be added to this rich and important case history within world ufology. I personally believe that these events played out exactly as told by the witnesses. A strange humanoid figure traveled along the coast of Necochea – for reasons unknown to us – one night in May 2014.

Now, something happened in Kara that messed up the town defense totally. Lauae betrayed her own guild (BR). I won´t go into details, because it was a real nasty situation that involved a lot of the already above mentioned stuff. BRN left AC for a week because of a business trip. He told Sho´ei and Lauae that they both had the command over the guild during his off-time, but he didn´t tell both about the other ones command (Lews Kinslayer aka Imperil didn`t play at that time anymore). In case of a problem between these both, Bekka aka Alkmini should fix any trouble. However it seems that Nobile was expecting something from Lauae´s side because he told me that I should care a bit about BR and that I should take over the command in Kara if there should happen something unexpected. Well, something happened and it was all set-up pretty nice to destroy BR completely, namely by some guy called Moon Orchid who had a lot of influence on Lauae in RL/Game. The conflict between Lauae and Sho´ei came. I remember that the reason of the conflict was pretty stupid. Lauae started to play the mad girl and Sho´ei´s computer crashed and he was offline for a complete week (talk about bad timing). Well, Bekka was left alone with the Lauae situation. Lauae threatend Bekka that she would raid Kara. Also Moon Orchid mistelled to Bekka, when she asked the Blood-member Gremlin if he would come with them (on the next day people were reporting on the boards that Lauae, Moon Orchid, Mordok and Gremlin raided together Hebian To, killing random people). I remember the evening when Bekka was talking to me. She was totally confused and had no idea how to handle the situation. She blamed a lot of the problems on herself. Well, I tried to convince her that it wasn´t her mistake but Lauaes. Bekka made some chat-screenshots and reported all the chats with Lauae to me. I started to organise the town-defense. White Morpheus and Al Neo were pretty helpful and we got some people together in town. Nothing happened. The next day some of Lauae´s direct followers raided Kara (namely Thalkos, Shimer and some others - however she never raided herself the town).

We were able to fly clear before it detonated. The blast caused a seismic rupture that split off a sizable part of Canada and created what we now know as Vancouver Island. This was the last fight between me and Gibson. For both of us, by studying certain ancient prophecies, had independently arrived at the same conclusion, namely that Sterling's professed interest in industrial design was a mere cover for work in superweapons. Gibson and I formed a pact to fight Sterling. So far we have made little headway in seeking out his lair of brushed steel and white LEDs, because I had a dentist appointment and Gibson had to attend a writers' conference, but keep an eye on Slashdot for any further developments.Fiction I have lately read and enjoyed:Set this House in Order by Matt RuffIlium by Dan SimmonsIron Council by China MievillePerfect Circle by Sean StewartThe I Love Bees alternate reality gameJonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susannah ClarkeThe Fool's Tale by Nicole Galland (in galleys; soon to be published)Short story collections by Etgar Keret: The Bus Driver who Wanted to be God, and The Nimrod Flip-out.

I know the people who did it, but I have lost track of what I promised not to reveal publicly, and so will shut up for now.I still program, but I tend to do it as a diversion from writing, and so there is little crossover between it and fiction writing. Modern programming is hairy and difficult for me to get a grip on. This is because (1) there is so much user interface code, which kind of makes my eyes glaze over, and (2) GNU type code is crammed with macros, compiler directives and switches that make it very difficult for me to read the source files.
These components are: Grip Triceps Extension Foundation or Stance Extension Toss and Tossing Mechanics Hip and Shoulder Lines Shoulder Tilt Leg Drive Power Position Wrist and Hand Action Buttscratch--not Backscratch Post-Contact Arm Actions Back Arch Finish No wonder players and coaches struggle with this motion. If even one technical element is missing, the serve may not be effective. Let's go over the components from start to finish starting with the grip. The Strong Continental with the index knuckle just off Bevel 1. Grip The grip is critical to learning an effective topspin serve. Most players who come to me do not demonstrate a strong enough grip to effectively hit heavy spin. I call this grip a Strong Continental. The problem is that most players try to hit the serve with a milder version of the continental, or even with a grip rotated toward an eastern forehand. The frustrating thing about defining the right grip is that coaches--and especially coaches from different countries--use different terminology and also tend to have different opinions about the position of the index knuckle. I remember first working on my kick with my tour coach, a former top 100 ATP player and national coach from Israel. He showed me the grip that I now teach. This grip is definitely more extreme than the typical "continental" as defined by most coaches in the US. Whatever you want to call it, I believe in this "strong continental," with the index knuckle very near bevel 1 (top bevel). This grip promotes heavy spin without slowing down the ball too much, as a more extreme backhand serve grip can do. I also believe players can hit the first serve with this grip, rather than making a dramatic grip change between first and second serves, which can hurt disguise. Boris: a great player with an unorthodox grip for hitting kicks. Of course, some players are extremely talented with their wrists and hands, and they can get away with a less extreme grip. But I believe even these players are losing some rotation on the ball by not shifting to a stronger grip; and it is my contention that these are the players whose second serves tend to break down under pressure in high level competition. A tour example that comes to mind is Boris Becker, who was incredibly talented, but used a serve grip more towards the eastern forehand.
by David Haber At the end of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, as Harry is upset that he prevented Sirius and Lupin from ing Peter Pettigrew and then Pettigrew escaped, Dumbledore told Harry: "You did a very noble thing, in saving Pettigrew's life. Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your ... When one Wizard saves another Wizard's life, it creates a certain bond between them ... and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant in the of Harry Potter." (PoA pg. 426/311) When Harry protests that he doesn't want a bond with the Wizard who ed his parents, Dumbledore says: "This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Harry." (PoA pg. 427/311) This was mentioned in the third book, we've had dealings with Peter Pettigrew since, and the life still hasn't been paid off, so it would seem this might be very important in book 7. If this life plays an important part in the final book, it makes one wonder if there are there any other life s in the Harry Potter story that affect what happens in book 7? I think there are. At the end of the very first book, Dumbledore mentions another life : "Your father did something Snape could never forgive. He saved his life. Funny, the way people's minds work, isn't it? Professor Snape couldn't bear being in your father's ..." (SS/PS pg. 300/217) Notice he uses the actual word " ", in the same way he later described Pettigrew's life in Prisoner of Azkaban. In fact, in Prisoner of Azkaban, the book that sets up Pettigrew's life with Harry, we learn more about Snape's with James. While Snape is interrogating Harry for being in Hogsmeade when he shouldn't have been, Harry lets it slip that he knows Snape hates his dad because he saved his life, and Snape tells him: "And did the headmaster tell you the circumstances in which your father saved my life? ... Your saintly father and his friends played a highly amusing joke on me that would have resulted in my if your father hadn't gotten cold feet at the last minute. There was nothing brave about what he did. He was saving his own skin as much as mine. Had their joke succeeded, he would have been expelled from Hogwarts." (PoA pg.

I wrote a very self-critical review of FirstPerson's prospects for the Ops Review pointing out all of our current shortcomings and, frankly, our lack of direction in the face of a fading market. This is when the bad news finally hit home with Wayne. Scott wanted a real business plan from him or else. Wayne responded in classic style; with a flourish. He declared the business plan his highest priority and that he would get it done by the end of the year. A particularly sarcastic technical writer Xeroxed this proclamation a few dozen times and taped it up in every public space. Much to everyone's chagrin and to be honest, my surprise, the due date came and went without so much as a mention from Wayne as to why he hadn't even produced a draft of the business plan. Everyone's shock turned to anger and then they started putting resumes on the street. When I returned from the holiday, the remaining members of Wayne's staff and I decided to do it ourselves. I enrolled the engineering director, the business development guys and our one marketing person. We hired an outside consultant to help with financials. In a period of about two weeks of almost sleepless work, I managed to alienate most of the other members of the group left to work on the plan. I was single minded in my effort to salvage the last three years of my life. I can only hope they understand that it was nothing personal, I just didn't have the time or the energy left to bring them up to speed enough to where they would understand my motivation. The only person who bought into my vision for how to resurrect this dying project was the product marketing manager for Oak, Kim Polese. Always one to remind me of the size of the desktop PC market that FirstPerson was ignoring, she steered me away from the holy grail of interactive television. Later she became senior product marketing manager for Java and HotJava, and is now the CEO of Marimba, Inc., a Java startup that includes several other Sun old timers, Arthur van Hoff, Sami Shaio and Jonathan Payne. Our goal for that business plan was simple. Remove variables, remove adventurous new markets, stop talking about building hardware, and stop talking about consumers sitting on their couches in front of a mythical interactive television.
For the next chunk of time, they've asked one another if it's really possible for a mother to love a new, balding, stinky-breath man more than her children? Things have turned for the worst here, but therapy will still soothe them. The years following are no safer. The girls walk around in a stupor becoming women, wondering if their childhood happened at all. One thousand nights of questions and no answers leave them numb. They're nearly cold, nearly ruined women.There are ways to mend near-ruin. They're basic and complicated. Most daughters will settle for "I wasn't always the best, you know..." For those seven words, they will rinse themselves clean, forgive yesterday, and probably only ever mention the hell they survived in passing. They'll make comments like, "You did what you could, Ma," and "I turned out all right." They will not mention the three hundred Tylenol or that choking tube down your throat or feeling like the least important nothings in the world.They'll trust you with their children if you say these words because now they're women and they realize the idea of perfection is a crock of bullshit, anyway. You could've never won the game in the first place. They'll have also seen a change in you: you've softened a bit and are less militant, and too they're older so you're smaller. They understand what it means to love a man so hard you lie down to cry and can't get back up again.What they will not understand–and this applies if you still have not opened your mouth wide enough for those seven words to pass–is amnesia. They will not be able to reconcile how a memory so big it silences them in grocery aisles escapes you. They have no idea what distinguishes a spanking from a beating; from what they remember, belts, hands, and hair brushes all felt similar. Nor will they understand how the 90s were such a romantic decade for you when they closed their eyes for entire years at a time to get through them. They will not understand how, now that you've gained thirty or so pounds and know intimately what fat feels like, you still comment on the heaviness of their thighs. How you talk about your second husband in terms of "he and I": their view was always of a war with the sad pronoun, "we."
Moreover, although the government has made some progress on its reform agenda earlier in the year and passed an important savings-oriented reform policy after the failed coup attempt, Moody's believes that that the prospect of sustained reform implementation that decisively moves the economy from consumption- and external capital-driven growth to a more balanced growth model is low. Weakened institutions will likely face the distraction of constitutional change at the same time as struggling to balance the tensions inherent in the need to simultaneously boost near-term growth, deal with heightened security risks and consolidate power in a post- coup environment. As a result, external risks are unlikely to diminish in the coming years, and may rise. RATIONALE FOR A STABLE OUTLOOK Moody's decision to assign a stable outlook reflects the balance of risks at the Ba1 rating level. Turkey's headline fiscal metrics are still favorable, notwithstanding the fact that the country has only just completed an almost two-year electoral cycle. Since the beginning of 2009, Turkey's debt burden has fallen by more than 13 percentage points to 32.9% of GDP in 2015. Under the baseline, Moody's expects the debt ratio to remain broadly stable at 32.2% of GDP in 2016. Moreover, Turkey's ability to finance its outstanding stock of debt is supported by the relatively low share of central government foreign-currency-denominated debt (35.1% 2015, down from 46.3% in 2003) and the favorable maturity profile of the central government's debt stock: a significant portion of the central government debt stock is contracted under fixed rates and the average maturity of the central government debt stock is now 6.3 years (and the maturity of its external debt stock is now almost 10 years). This favorable structure mitigates somewhat the impact of a further depreciation of the Turkish lira against the US dollar, and from a rise in global interest rates on the government's balance sheet. In fact, the central government's external debt payments due next year are modest at only $11.3 billion (1.5% of forecast 2017 GDP). Looking ahead, Turkey's policy direction and its ability to maintain fiscal stability in an environment of prolonged lower growth (than previously seen) will be an important driver of sovereign creditworthiness. WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATING UP/DOWN Upward movement in Turkey's sovereign rating will be constrained by balance-of-payments factors as long as external imbalances remain large.
We know that among the Romans, about the Augustan age especially, the condition of their slaves was much more deplorable than that of the blacks on the continent of America. The two sexes were confined in separate apartments, because to raise a child cost the master more than to buy one. Cato, for a very restricted indulgence to his slaves in this particular, (* 3) took from them a certain price. But in this country the slaves multiply as fast as the free inhabitants. Their situation and manners place the commerce between the two sexes almost without restraint. -- The same Cato, on a principle of ;oeconomy, always sold his sick and superannuated slaves. He gives it as a standing precept to a master visiting his farm, to sell his old oxen, old waggons, old tools, old and diseased servants, and every thing else become useless. `Vendat boves vetulos, plaustrum vetus, ferramenta vetera, servum senem, servum morbosum, & si quid aliud supersit vendat.' Cato de re rustica. c. 2. The American slaves cannot enumerate this among the injuries and insults they receive. It was the common practice to expose in the island Suet. Claud. 25. of Aesculapius, in the Tyber, diseased slaves, whose cure was like to become tedious. The Emperor Claudius, by an edict, gave freedom to such of them as should recover, and first declared, that if any person chose to kill rather than to expose them, it should be deemed homicide. The exposing them is a crime of which no instance has existed with us; and were it to be followed by death, it would be punished capitally. We are told of a certain Vedius Pollio, who, in the presence of Augustus, would have given a slave as food to his fish, for having broken a glass. With the Romans, the regular method of taking the evidence of their slaves was under torture. Here it has been thought better never to resort to their evidence. When a master was murdered, all his slaves, in the same house, or within hearing, were condemned to death. Here punishment falls on the guilty only, and as precise proof is required against him as against a freeman. Yet notwithstanding these and other discouraging circumstances among the Romans, their slaves were often their rarest artists. They excelled too in science, insomuch as to be usually employed as tutors to their master's children. Epictetus, Terence, and Phaedrus, were slaves.
