:ALWAYS All patches are loaded, even if they have been loaded previously. T All patches are loaded unless they have been loaded previously. :LOG-FILE - If this is NIL, no log file is created. Otherwise, it should Be a pathmame, a string, or a stream which specifies a file to which a copy of the session should be written. At a minimum, *error-output* and *standard-output* become broadcast streams that include an output stream to this file; other I/O streams (such as *query-io*, *debug-io*, etc.) may also be bound at the discretion of the implementation. Other implementation-defined keywords are permissible. To get a list of the system's associated files, the user can use SYSTEM-FILES system kind System may be a symbol or string that names a system, or else a system object. Returns a list of the files associated with a given system of the indicated KIND. The following values for KIND are defined: :ALL all files associated with the system. :SOURCE all source files for the system, except patches. :BINARY all binary files for the system, except patches. :PATCH-SOURCE all source files for patches to the system. :PATCH-BINARY all binary files for patches to the system. :TEXT-DATA all text data files for the system. :BINARY-DATA all binary data files for the system. :JOURNALS all journal files for the system (records of which files the system contains, etc.) :OTHER any file which, at the discretion of the implementation, cannot reasonably be considered either a source or a binary but which is, nevertheless, part of the system. Files in a module of type :TEXT or :LISP-EXAMPLE are the only ones defined by this specification which will reliably occur in this list. The set of :SOURCE, :BINARY, :PATCH-SOURCE, :PATCH-BINARY, :TEXT-DATA, :BINARY-DATA, :JOURNALS and :OTHER form an exhaustive partition of :ALL. Other implementation-defined values are permitted in order to provide further refinement of access. Such keywords may subdivide any of these keyword categories, but may not create categories which would not be returned by one of these. Such implementation-defined values might be of any type. If such an implementation-defined value could only ever match a single file, it is still returned as the only element of a list. All filenames returned will have been fully defaulted in a manner consistent with the defaults specified by DEFINE-SYSTEM, and file types appropriate to the module and the host operating system. Whether the version (if any) will be :newest or a specific version is implementation-defined.

NEW DELHI: Railways has imposed heavy fines totalling Rs 11.50 lakh on nine caterers including IRCTC for serving "bad quality" food on trains. "We had launched a special drive in the last month to detect quality of food being served on different trains. We found bad quality food on some trains and action was taken against caterers accordingly," a senior railway ministry official said.Besides Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), RK Associates, Sunshine Caterers Brandavan Food Products were among those fined. "IRCTC was fined Rs one lakh as a cockroach was found in the food on Kolkata Rajdhani on July 23," the official said adding, "bad food was found in 13 trains".Besides Kolkata Rajdhani, other trains covered during the special drive include Paschim Express, Pushpak Express, Motihari Express, Shiv Ganga Express, Golden Temple Mail, Netravati Express, Punjab Mail, Howrah-Amritsar Mail and Chandigarh Shatabdi.While in some trains food was found to be kept in unhygienic conditions, in others it was either found to be stale or substandard, the official said, adding, fines ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh have been imposed. "A caterer would lose licence, if found at fault five times," the official said.Plagued by a number of complaints regarding the quality of food, Railways have made a concerted attempt to improve quality of food being served in trains.Railway minister Sadananda Gowda had announced in the rail budget to make course correction in catering service to address the problem. According to the plan, top caterers like ITC, MTR and Haldiram have been roped in to serve pre-cooked food in trains on a trial basis.Six trains, including three premier trains Rajdhani, Duronto, Shatabdi, have been selected for introduction of pre-cooked food by ITC, MTR and Haldiram.Items like 'Chicken Chettinad', 'Hyderabadi Biryani', 'Sambar Rice' and 'Rajma Chawal' are among the mouth-watering dishes to be offered on these trains.The pre-cooked food will be packaged food which are just required to put into microwave before being served hot. "We will try pre-cooked food in trains for a week and depending upon the response it will be introduced in other trains on a regular basis," the official said.

BART serves nine Bay-Area counties in Northern California that together comprise the fourth largest population center in this country. People in these nine counties are now under Martial Law; at least when they board a BART train. The Bay Area Rapid Transit District is not a transportation agency it is a commuter service, owned and operated by the federal government. Consequently BART's rules for keeping order do not come from city or county officials, but from the State and from the Federal government. Bart Police have modeled themselves on the worst components of the thugs that work for HOMELAND Security. Peace officers are not "Troops." Bart police have copied the Nazi SS in manner, in demeanor and now in their public behavior toward the American people. The federal connection here is important: "It should be noted that on March 17, 2003 Bush hired "the former head of the KGB (the secret police of the former Soviet Union), General Yevgeni Primakov," as a consultant to the US Department of Homeland Security. Primakov joined another Russian, Oleg Kalugin, KGB (Ret) with the Department of State Security, also as a part of Homeland Security. On January 1, 2005 Kalugin was replaced with the infamous and sinister Silver Fox himself (his former CIA code name), Gen. Markus Wolf. "Wolf was the head of the international intelligence gathering arm (HVA) of East Germany's Ministry for State Security, or Stasi." This went a long way toward perfecting the spying and wiretapping of the entire USA, and insured that Americans would become the next victims of State Terrorism ala the USSR and Communist East Germany." (1) It's been twelve days now since one of Bart's thugs murdered someone that had not even been arrested. The entire event was captured on video, without an audio capability. There were a number of other people detained but not charged, held on the same platform for six full hours in handcuffs, who were just feet away from the callous execution. The actions of the uniformed thug were clearly shown on this tape: <http://rense.com/general84/govv.htm>http://rense.com/general84/govv.htm . Before the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, there were clear procedures in place for peace officers to follow in the execution of their duties. No officer was allowed to become judge, jury and executioner; much less without first arresting the individual that might be suspected of a crime.

Ferguson has a charismatic combination of qualities: both the demands of her profession and the impulses of her personality make her intensely curious about things and intensely interested in people. It may mean nothing, it may mean everything, but she uses the word "human" repeatedly: "human dimensions", "the human condition", "an intense human moment", "human understanding". She has a lusty appetite for "human interaction", understanding and experience. She has an even lustier appetite for poetry. Recently, driving her youngest son, Lucien, 17, to Sydney Grammar, the conversation turned to his English-class explorations of the Romantic poets. Suddenly she was reciting Keats. Finishing a mouthful of tomato on rye, she recalls for me the in-transit moment and delivers a flawless stanza: "My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk ..." Lucien, she says, was taken aback by the recitation. Ferguson has a line of poetry for any event: "There is no moment in my life which isn't made better by poetry or no sadness or loss that isn't comforted by it." She loves to recite it, but she holds herself back. She thinks it might be annoying to some people. "Or look like I'm showing off." In an Indonesian abattoir: "Intense smells and blood everywhere and, in the corner, a white steer, legs tied, was smashing its skull on a concrete floor, trying to get up. The metal killing box next to it had MLA stamped on the side, Meat and Livestock Australia." (A Bloody Business, exposing the cruelty of the live cattle export market, Four Corners, May 2011.) DRY SHAMPOO FUMES drift through the bowels of the ABC's headquarters in Sydney's Ultimo. It's a Monday afternoon in March and the salon traffic is heavy: Media Watch presenter Paul Barry is in one chair, face stiff with make-up. Someone fusses over his hair. The Chaser's Craig Reucassel pulls in. "Who are you ripping pieces off now?" he asks Sarah Ferguson. She laughs. A stylist manoeuvres rollers into her hair ahead of the studio recording of her Four Corners introduction. Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek, trailed by two minders en route to an interview for Charlie Pickering's The Weekly, waves as she passes.

Heber and I had a son in 1984 — Alexander Jentzsch. He was born and raised in the Sea Org. When Alexander was 11 years old (he had left the SO with me in 1990 when he was 6, and had then been regged [pressured by Scientology staff] to return to the SO when he was 10), Heber and I were both located in Los Angeles and Alexander was at Flag [Scientology’s spiritual HQ in Florida]. He was being used as a child slave laborer at the Fort Harrison [the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida], with no schooling or study time – instead cleaning toilets and floors in the Fort Harrison lobby 10-12 hours a day. I called OSA multiple times to tell them this violated the laws of the land. Finally I threatened that if it was not handled I would fly to Clearwater and extract him myself. OSA put him on a plane to Los Angeles within 24 hours. Alexander was born in Scientology and knows nothing else. The culture is deeply embedded in him. Fast forward to 3 years ago. Alexander is now married and his wife [name withheld] is pregnant. Pressure is brought to bear for an abortion. It is done skillfully – no heavy threats, but both are both taken off post and made to look at “the greatest good.” The message was loud and clear. Alexander called me multiple times a day as this goes down. All of the while his father, Heber, is uncontactable in lockdown in Miscavige’s Hole [Scientology’s office-prison for executives who have fallen out of favor]. In the end, [name withheld] had an abortion and they were returned to post. But she never gets over it and feels she has committed an overt [a moral transgression] of magnitude. Three years later she is pregnant again. She really does want to be a mom. But now, times have changed. Claire and Marc Headley and Laura Decrescenzo’s lawsuits, media and the Internet have caused the Church to re-think their enforced abortion policy. This time Alexander and [name withheld] are routed out with “love,” Kirsten Caetano, in charge of External Security at OSA, befriends Alexander in an unnatural, unheard of way. She arranges for his apartment rent to be paid. Helps arrange and approves him working for a Scientologist owned company at a very high wage, and gives him lots of sympathy and compassion.

Even before Scoccia moved full-time to Nevada, he took tight control of the hospital’s checkbook. Cathie Clifford, the hospital’s long-time accountant, flew to Ohio to train his office staff on the financial system – and didn’t like what she heard. “He just let loose on them, saying ‘Nobody does anything unless I’m around.’” she said. “This was in front of other people. I thought, ‘Geez, I’d walk out.”

The last time that any of his fellow prisoners heard from him, Captain Versace was singing God Bless America at the top of his voice from his isolation box. Unable to break his indomitable will, his faith in God, and his trust in the United States of America and his fellow prisoners, Captain Versace was executed by the Viet Cong on September 26, 1965. Captain Versaces extraordinary heroism, self-sacrifice, and personal bravery involving conspicuous risk of life above and beyond the call of duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Army, and reflect great credit to himself and the U.S. Armed Forces.

Physical Mechanisms and Implications for Robustness This distinct behavior for the largest events is due to the time-dependent dynamics that yields the cutoff scale. Standard prototypes for changes in extreme events (17, 35) consider stationary distributions of a climate variable that in a warmer climate becomes shifted due to a change in mean or whose width changes due to a change in variability. For non-Gaussian distributions (Fig. 4A), such as precipitation rate (14, 15, 35, 36) or water vapor (27), the change in mean and variance are typically linked. In addition to affecting occurrences of extreme values (red), these mechanisms create changes throughout the probability distribution (decreases in blue; increases in light red). In the behavior for accumulations found here (Fig. 4B), changes are primarily in the probability of the most extreme accumulation range. How does this occur? Fig. 4. Mechanisms for changes in accumulation probabilities involve two evolution regimes. (A and B) Traditional schematics of a shift and change in width of a stationary distribution (A) (14,17, 35) differ from the effect for accumulations in which the pdf is susceptible to disproportional change for the largest events, above the cutoff (B). (C) The mechanism that creates this effect (schematized for Eq. 8) involves the evolution of the pdf of an ensemble of events (example trajectories shown in blue) before the first passage across an event-termination threshold at lower moisture. The power-law range of accumulations comes from spreading of the pdf due to internal variability, which dominates termination when accumulations are not too large. The large-accumulation regime occurs when drift toward termination by precipitation loss becomes important. A change in moisture-convergence variability changes the large-event cutoff that separates these regimes. A scaling argument from the theory here points to the essential features of the climate physics that create this sensitivity and provides a sense of the robustness. Probability distribution solutions of Eq. 6 during the event have the form p q ( q , s ∼ ) = 1 σ ( s ∼ ) F ( q − q 0 + s ∼ σ ( s ∼ ) ) , [8]where the width of the distribution σ spreads due to atmospheric variability as a function of the running accumulation s ∼ , which is acting as a transformed temporal coordinate. The prefactor σ ( s ∼ ) − 1 maintains normalization as the distribution spreads.

Another aspect of the new strategy of the Greek state was the ideological and repressive attack against the uncontrollable sections of the solidarity activists which are not connected to recognized NGOs. [14] This attack began shortly after the signing of the 18th March agreement between EU and Turkey. [15] Primarily, the attack targeted solidarity activists belonging to the anarchist / anti-authoritarian milieu, who were accused of “leading the refugees to extreme behaviors resulting in conflicts”, of “instigating the immigrants at Idomeni to violate the fence”, and so on. [16] The propaganda campaign was led by the government and the police authorities. The same articles in the press revealed the actual fears of the government: “policemen at the roadblocks on the Axios bridge, in the outskirts of Idomeni, are checking the travel documents and the cars of persons who head towards the village, especially foreigners, in an apparent effort to prevent the distribution of printed material (brochures, maps, etc.) to the refugees and immigrants, which incite them to revolt”[17], “almost the 50% of these activists is of unknown origin and is involved in murky activities”, “there is an uncontrollable situation which can be avoided only with the removal of the refugees from Idomeni to controlled spaces”, “until then, there is a danger of an escalation of conflicts in the area”. [18] Apart from the outright debasement of the immigrants who are presented as puppets of the solidarity activists who manipulate them, it is evident that the state was afraid and wanted to prevent the possibility of an explosive meeting and cooperation between the immigrants and the uncontrollable solidarity activists against the violence of the borders and their guards. However, the attack from the state did not stay on the level of propaganda. On the 20th of April of 2016 the solidarity initiative No Border Kitchen was evacuated and the police made at least 8 arrests of solidarity activists in Idomeni and many raids in the islands of the Northeastern Aegean and elsewhere.

Using those assets as collateral for loans and persuading condo owners to agree to higher common charges, Parkchester Preservation funded a $250 million overhaul of the entire enclave. Pipes were fixed, wiring was upgraded and 65,000 casement windows were replaced. "We knew that to increase the value of the Helmsley units we bought, we really needed to improve the property for all of its residents," said Andrea Olshan. "From the beginning, we were in it together with all the homeowners and the other investors. "Parkchester's 171 buildings and acres of grounds have been largely restored. Flowers bloom, fountains spout and scores of whimsical, freshly restored terra-cotta sculptures surround residents who hail from all over the world—many of whom who sit on boards and committees, working to keep the complex humming. "The hardest part is to keep people happy and meet their expectations," said Abu Shakoor, a 35-year resident and president of the Parkchester South Condominium, which encompasses 130 of the complex's buildings. The boards oversee major purchases, infrastructure repairs and capital spending--tasks made more difficult by ever-rising costs and the varied interests of renters, owners and investors.Today, a one-bedroom apartment goes for about $110,000. Although that's five times what it would have fetched in 1997, before the restoration, it's far below the median price of $560,000 for a home in the city.Rents are up, too, but are still considered affordable.Meanwhile, tax abatements that helped offset the cost of the massive renovation will expire over the next few years. Rents are sure to go up. Some two-bedrooms rent for as much as $1,700, up from $700 at the bottom of the market, but less than half the starting rents at Stuy Town. "We are always looking at opportunities to maintain affordability, [such as] reducing energy costs and making common elements more efficient," said Ryan Moorehead, the CEO of PPC and director of residential asset management at Olshan. "That's the job of management."

These ideologies powerfully informed the emerging American character, at once influencing cultural development and being reinforced by it. No institution was exempt from the technotopian dream. The nation’s teaching and research systems, for instance, were and still are dramatically influenced by a utopian faith in the transformational power of applied science. To be sure, America developed and nurtured some of the finest Liberal Arts schools in the world: we think immediately of private schools like Harvard, but some of these schools were publicly funded (like the University of North Carolina, the first state-sponsored university in the country). But while the society tolerated the belief in education for its own sake, it also invested more heavily in the idea of applied education than perhaps any culture in Western history. John Dewey, one of America’s most insightful commentators on education, justifies the utilitarian approach, arguing that science is only honorable in application. Since “application” signifies recognized bearing upon human existence and well-being, honor of what is “pure” and contempt for what is “applied” has for its outcome a science which is remote and technical, communicable only to specialists, and a conduct of human affairs which is haphazard, biased, unfair in distribution of values…. Science is converted into knowledge in its honorable and emphatic sense only in application. Otherwise it is truncated, blind, distorted. When it is applied, it is in ways which explain the unfavorable sense so often attached to “application” and the “utilitarian”: namely, use for pecuniary ends to the profit of a few (Dewey Public and Its Problems 174). He contends that the split between pure and applied science is artificial, with the result being a damaging application of science to human affairs instead of an integration within them. This “knowledge divided against itself” fuels the “enslavement of men, women and children in factories in which they are animated machines to tend inanimate machines.” The glorification of “pure” science under such conditions is a rationalization of an escape; it marks a construction of an asylum of refuge, a shirking of responsibility. The true purity of knowledge exists not when it is uncontaminated by contact with use and service. It is a wholly moral matter, an affair of honesty, impartiality and generous breadth of intent in search and communication.

Slides were placed in 0.1 M (pH 7.3) PBS for 5 min to thaw after storage at −80 °C, followed by post-fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde dissolved in PBS for 30 min. After a 5-min wash in PBS, slides were permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 for 20 min and then washed again for 5 min in PBS. Blocking of unspecific binding sites was done with PBS containing 5% donkey serum albumin for 10 min followed by another PBS wash for 5 min. The slices were first kept in 4 °C for 48 h in rabbit anti–synapsin I solution (Abcam, ab64581; diluted 1:250 in PBS), 48 h in rabbit anti-Klotho antibody solution (Thermo Fisher, PA5-21078; diluted 1:400 in 3% BSA in PBS), sheep anti-prealbumin antibody solution (Abcam, ab9015; diluted 1:500 in 0.3% BSA in PBS), AF488-coupled mouse anti-NeuN antibody (Millipore, MAB377X; diluted 1:200 in 0.3% BSA in PBS), rabbit anti-Iba1 antibody solution (Wako, 016-20001: diluted 1:200), rabbit anti-VGAT or VGLUT1 (both donated by B. Schütz, University of Marburg; diluted 1:1,000 and 1:10,000, respectively). Afterwards, the slides were rinsed three times for 10 min in PBS before incubation with goat anti-rabbit Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody (Life Technologies, A10520; diluted 1:500 in 0.3% BSA in PBS) for synapsin I, donkey anti-rabbit AF647-conjugated secondary antibody (Invitrogen, A31573; diluted 1:2,000 in 0.3% BSA in PBS) for Klotho, donkey anti-rabbit AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (Life Technologies, A21206; diluted 1:2,000 in 0.3% BSA in PBS) for Iba1, donkey anti-sheep AF647-conjugated (Jackson Immuno, 713-175-147; diluted 1:2,000 in 0.3% BSA in PBS) or AF488-conjugated (Invitrogen, A11015, diluted 1:1,000 in 0.3% BSA in PBS) for transthyretin secondary antibody in a humid chamber for 2 h in the dark. After staining, the sections were again rinsed three times for 5 min and were mounted with DAPI-containing Fluoromount-G (SouthernBiotech, USA) and covered. The NeuN co-stained slices were first dehydrated with an increasing concentration of ethanol and xylol, mounted with Rotihisto II (Carl Roth, Germany) and covered. For quantitative analysis of synapsin I, Klotho or transthyretin immunoreactivity, fluorescence images were acquired using a Zeiss Axiovert 200M fluorescent microscope (Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Oberkochen, Germany) with a 20×, 0.8 NA lens. Immunoreactivities were analyzed with ImageJ software (ImageJ 1.42q, NIH, USA) using the integrated density technique56. For quantitative analysis of staining intensities, six pictures per animal were taken. Each group consisted of three animals.

He showed up the next morning, and by the end of the week Gencic was proclaiming that “the golden child” possessed “the biggest talent I have seen since Monica.” (Gencic became a lifelong mentor to Djokovic, encouraging him to read poetry and to listen to classical music; she died a week before the Nadal match, at the age of seventy-six.) When Djokovic was six, he told his parents that it was his mission to become the No. 1 tennis player in the world. When he was eleven, NATO began bombing Belgrade. Each night at eight o’clock, as the air-raid siren sounded, the family would run to an aunt’s apartment building, which had a bomb shelter. For seventy-eight nights, they crouched in darkness, praying amid the screams of F-117s. Djokovic kept up his tennis throughout the bombardment, playing on cracked courts bereft of nets. He writes, in “Serve to Win,” published this month by Ballantine, “We’d go to the site of the most recent attacks, figuring that if they bombed one place yesterday, they probably wouldn’t bomb it today.” In the aftermath of the war, as sanctions crippled Serbia’s economy, the family struggled to support Djokovic’s ambition. Srdjan recently told the Serbian newspaper Kurir, “We lived seventeen years in rented accommodations, landlords evicted us. I could not sleep at night and I was walking down the street. Sometimes the police arrested me. . . . After I explained, we’d sit in the station, laughing and drinking brandy until the morning.” The family debated whether to flee to Germany, or Britain. “But in the end we decided we needed to be with our people,” Djokovic told me. Gencic told Srdjan and Dijana, “If you want him to keep progressing, he has to leave the country.” Srdjan sold the family’s gold and borrowed money from a loan shark. Novak went to a tennis academy in Munich. Tennis, perhaps alone among sports, does not necessarily thrill to a hard-luck tale. It is an oddity of Djokovic’s career that his story is not primarily told as an inspirational one. Along with Venus and Serena Williams, he is the player that a certain sort of enthusiast—“tennis ninnies,” as the writer Stephen Rodrick has called them—cannot abide. The objection to him involves his extreme self-belief, supposedly unbecoming in a tennis player of his accomplishments, when it is the very thing that has enabled them.

So a little over three years.The team size varied a lot.In the early days it was quite small for quite a while.When it was running at full capacity it was 30 or 35 people.That’s a good question. I do know that pre-production it was quite small. When we entered production, it gradually ramped up.A one person per month sort of thing.In pre-prodution, it was really just narrative guys: Adam, Kevin, me, George, Steve Dobos, and I think Erin Myers.I even came on pretty late for pre-production.I don’t have that off the top of my head. But the budget was well in excessive of probably 8.5 million dollars. A lot of people assume that crowd funding money cover 100% production but that isn’t the case for us. We’re usually augmenting development with our own money and with outside funding from publishers and deals.I know that is a hot topic because people feel the game suffered from console. In reality the inverse is true. The cost of doing the console conversion was relatively inexpensive. Of the money we got in from console, it only cost us 20% of it to put it on console. The other 75% all went in to making this game better.The design was already done. We knew the product. We weren’t cutting or changing for console. The game was not ready to ship a year ago. No way. That console deal bought these guys more time to make it better. We already had the code from Wasteland 2, so it just bought us more time. Almost 75% of the console money went into buying more time.It’s my job to give them more time. Step back for a bit - who makes the best products in the business? Whether it’s Blizzard, or Valve, they have the luxury of time. That’s the most important thing, so I try to give these guys the most time I can, and I got to be clever about it, whether it’s doing a crowd funding campaign or a console deal, I try to give them the most time possible to make the most polished product I can.I can’t talk about an employee’s specific performance, but what I can do is to provide you with a factual history of things. Kevin left the project in late 2015, right? At that point, we were roughly two years into production. At that point, we’ve gotten the first pass of combat.

We were early to chart the rise of the Bernie Sanders phenomenon, we had exclusives on Donald Trump’s misogyny, Steve Bannon’s voter registration and more, and we published detailed and nuanced reporting on the ground with projects such as Anywhere but Washington and The View from Middletown.” But in the newsroom, American reporters also were irritated by some of their British colleagues’ lack of understanding of US politics and had to regularly explain procedural concepts — albeit strange ones — like superdelegates. Meanwhile, multiple sources say sending staffers across the country, particularly to events that were also being live-blogged by other reporters, put Guardian US millions of dollars over budget. More than a dozen reporters and editors went to the Democratic and Republican conventions (where hotel rooms can cost hundreds of dollars per night, and thousands must be spent on space and internet). “At a time when the Guardian in general was already tightening its belt and political reporters in London were being told to stop taking sources out, for them then in the US to be taking this whole troupe of people down there, including desk editors, Brits in it for the tourism, that caused a lot of anguish,” said one reporter. “At that point, we knew that spending cuts were around the corner.”

“It makes it harder to have those conversations about where we need to go when some are saying, ‘We don’t need to go anywhere, we just need to get the EPA off our back,'” Van Nostrand said. “It’s a complete copout in terms of the leadership we need to start addressing these issues.”

It is not clear yet who shot the video.According to media reports, Montu Kalra, an IndiGo ground staff, who was said to have shot the video, was sacked after the incident. Former Air India chief Ashwani Lohani, who now heads the Railway Board, hit out at IndiGo for the "disgusting" and "inhuman" act. "The subsequent action of the airline in sacking the whistleblower is the icing on the cake of gross misconduct," he said.

I believed all things were possible, through faith. God had prepared people to accept His gospel, and he promised that amazing miracles could happen if we exercised faith – we were the only ones stopping miracles from happening! I prayed and set goals based on faith, rather than past accomplishments. I was great at setting goals and planning–a gift from my mother–but these plans relied on a loving God to make up the difference between what I could do and the goals I set. When my companion and I set goals at the beginning of a six-week transfer, we believed that the goals we set were inspired by God. “Eight baptisms, even when we don’t have anyone remotely close right now? Hey, it’s possible.” We didn’t stop there – we’d set smart action plans, things we could do to be in the right place at the right time, to come in contact with a lot of people, to be prepared to be led to the right people, and to more fully “consecrate” ourselves to the work. I’d work my ass off. At the peak of my mission we bought black running shoes so we could “turbo tract” for an hour every day (something my brother had done – running from door to door instead of walking); one day a week we would leave the apartment in the morning and not come back until night, packing a lunch and walking or biking everywhere so we could meet a lot of people; we’d invite a member to every single appointment; we’d do “inspired tracting;” we’d study specific topics; we’d role-play to practice our teaching skills; we’d wake up on time and do our exercise and eat better and not come in until 9:00 even if it meant tracting in the dark and we wouldn’t think about home and we wouldn’t allow contention and we would make p-day a little short because that was the only time that one person could meet but maybe they were prepared. Eight baptisms wouldn’t come. Hell, one baptism wouldn’t come. Then I’d do what every good planner does – analyze the results, learn from my mistakes, and set new goals.

As Jo Nova writes: Consider how hard-line the inquisition is. Roger Pielke Jr. accepts most of the consensus IPCC positions, even calling for a carbon tax, and supporting Obama's proposed EPA regulations, but he's under fire as much as those who question everything. The aim here is much larger than just stopping Pielke — the real audience are the thousands of silent borderline skeptical academics watching on. Imagine if they spoke their minds? The message to them is "don't even think it". All academics must be 100% believers, and even the smallest deviation from the permitted line will receive the same treatment. As with the firebreathing imams who demand that a cartoon or a teddy bear or a swirl on a Burger King ice-cream carton must be punished by death, you're struck by the insecurity of the true believers. Nevertheless, as Jo says, it works: The harassment and pressure work on whistleblowers. We are all human. Sadly even Pielke admits, despite having tenure, that the harrassment means he has changed the way he writes and researches: 'The incessant attacks and smears are effective, no doubt, I have already shifted all of my academic work away from climate issues. I am simply not initiating any new research or papers on the topic and I have ring-fenced my slowly diminishing blogging on the subject.' Maybe someone else will step up and take his place. Then again, Charlie Hebdo is having difficulty attracting new cartoonists. I can stand almost anything except the guy who says: "You can't say that." That's why I'm battling on with Mann's crappy law suit after three years in the toilet of the DC justice system. Because, at some point, it becomes necessary not to "shift away" but to push back against a clique of bullies locked in malign alliance with powerful government agencies and political hacks like Raúl Grijalva. I understand Professor Pielke's situation, and I am in the fortunate position of having no nervous institutional employer. And I thank those of you who, at a very dark period in my life a year ago and in the months since, supported me and kept me in the game. But the naked intimidation of Bengtsson, Silver, Pielke, Soon and on and on is evil, and remorseless. And so, even as the gulf between Big Climate's models and observable reality widens, the permitted parameters of debate narrow and shrivel.

The probiotic preparation VSL#3 has been extensively used. VSL#3 contains four strains of Lactobacillus (L. casei, L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus), three strains of Bifidobacterium (B. longum, B. breve, and B. infantis), one strain of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus, and cornstarch. VSL#3 is capable of colonizing the gut and significantly decreases fecal pH in UC patients that are intolerant or allergic to 5-ASA [74]. Furthermore, the intake of the probiotic mixture maintained remission in the great majority of UC patients that were intolerant or allergic to 5-ASA [74]. Additionally, it has been reported that balsalazide provides a more rapid relief of UC symptoms and induces complete remission in a greater percentage of patients than mesalamine, but these results were obtained using a high dose of balsalazide [75]. Balsalazide is converted into 5-ASA and 4-aminobenzoyl-β-alanine by the colonic bacteria. The use of 2.25 g of balsalazide (containing 750 mg of balsalazide disodium) plus 3 g of VSL#3 achieved remission faster than balsalazide or mesalazine. Moreover, balsalazide plus VSL#3 showed significant superiority in improving well-being and bowel frequency and endoscopic and histological scores were significantly better in the group of patients who received balsalazide/VSL#3 compared with the patients who received mesalazine at the end of the treatment [75]. Tursi et al. [75] showed that the combination of low-dose balsalazide plus VSL#3 resolved the problem of taking several capsules of balsalazide in comparison with mesalazine capsules to achieve remission in UC patients [75]. Therefore, the combination of low-dose balsalazide and VSL#3 may be a good choice in the treatment of active mild-to-moderate left-side- or distal-ulcerative colitis versus balsalazide or mesalazine alone [75]. This combination acts in two different ways to cease inflammation: 5-ASA inhibits some key enzymes of the inflammatory cascade, such as cyclooxygenase, thromboxane-synthetase, and platelet associated factor-synthetase and also inhibits the production of IL-1 and free radicals, whereas the action of probiotics includes the production of antimicrobials, competitive metabolic interactions with proinflammatory organisms and the inhibition of the adherence and translocation of pathogens [75].

When the norwegian MSM announced that Fjordman was my role model and idol, they couldnt be more wrong. These four individuals, on the other hand, are all worthy of trust, respect and praise, due to their past and continued efforts. Their advice and recommendations should be listened to by all norwegian nationalists. Furthermore, the candidates they support can be trusted. I hope they soon will contribute to take responsibility by uniting the norwegian nationalist movement by forming an equivalent entity to that of the Swedes Party. The reason Im saying all of this is because its likely Ill soon be <<out of the game>>, as I wont be able to survive the SHS-programme for much longer. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, the response from editors to the mentioned information will either be total silence or even more ridicule and pathologisation. After this letter Ill probably have +2 conditions and +3 personality disorders, or perhaps the imaginary <<bad childhood>> will end up being worse. But before these editors reject <<Project Yggdrasil>>, and of course they will; they should ask them-selves; are you 100 percent sure that dialogue and reconciliation-attempts isnt the way forward? In any case, their limitless bigotry and denial, until now, has at least been quite amusing.

With each string cheese incident, I have a shorter distance to fall from my pedestal.With each string cheese incident, I project into the future all of the disappointments that she is going to have in life, which I am powerless to stop from happening. I imagine the teacher who will make her feel stupid or small. Mean girls will surely enter the picture at some point along the way. She will endure a broken heart for the first time.I am not psychic. How do I know these things will happen to her? Because they happened to me! My parents did not do a good job helping me through these times. "Buck up" was the general Germanic tone. I could go on in greater length about my own childhood, but I'll save that bit of ranting for another post.This post is about how I want to do things differently with my daughter. I don't want to minimize my daughter's feeling like my parents did with me, when I was little. I also know that being a supportive mom doesn't mean constantly stopping Claire from falling, but, rather, being there to catch her when she falls.Knowing and believing are two different things, though. I guess I'm as irrational as my toddler!

To obtain an optimal solution to this version of the problem, Gurobi Optimizer needed to use branch and bound and solve a total of 250, 479 linear programming problems. Doing so required a total of 5, 837, 494 iterations of the simplex method. The entire branch-and-bound process took a total of 883.36 seconds of computer time. The symmetry constraints have an enormous impact! To obtain additional still life tiles, we constructed linear constraints to rule out previously obtained solutions. Let P denote the set of ordered pairs that correspond to cells that are alive in one particular previously obtained solution, and let denote the complement of the set P. Then the previously obtained solution violates the inequality (6) but all other still lifes satisfy it. By including (6) when we solve (MDSL), we find a new still life (if one exists). By repeating this process over and over again, we were able to find all 85 tiles that satisfied our symmetry and modularity constraints. The entire search took less than 1 minute of computer time.

Sarah Sudhoff is a photographer and educator based in Texas. Her work has exhibited internationally and nationally and her images have been featured in publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Men’s Health, Texas Monthly and Neon. In 2009, she had her first solo show, Repository, open at Art League Houston, followed by her first international show, Rx, at In Plain Sight Gallerie in Montreal, Canada. In 2010, Sudhoff’s ongoing series, At the Hour of Our Death debuted at De Santos Gallery in Houston, Texas during Fotofest. Soon after she was awarded a visual arts grant from the Artist Foundation of San Antonio to continue work on the series. Sudhoff holds an MFA in photography from Parsons The New School for Design, as well as a Bachelor’s in Journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. She is co-founder of the Austin Center for Photography in Austin, Texas, and is currently on the faculty at the University of Texas at San Antonio and Trinity University. Of this series, she writes: ‘At the Hour of Our Death takes as its starting point Aries’s observation that “death’s invisibility enhances its terror”. These large-scale color photographs capture and fully illuminate swatches of bedding, carpet and upholstery marked with the signs of the passing of human life. The fabrics which are first removed by a trauma scene clean up crew, are relocated to a warehouse before being incinerated. It is in the warehouse that I photograph these fragments stained with bodily fluids. I tack each swatch to the wall and use the crew’s floodlights to illuminate the scene. The images are my attempt to slow the moments before and after death to a single frame, to allow what is generally invisible to become visible, and to engage with a process from which we have become disconnected’.

If their developers want to integrate with the Calendar service, they need to embed a web browser in their applications now?Furthermore, that may not even help, if the OAuth workflow requires information be sent to an existing web site, what web site is associated with a user's personal copy of software? Developers of that software are unlikely to create a web site with user accounts just for this integration. Even if they did, if the site goes down (temporarily), then the integration stops working. Even though, in theory, there should be no dependance of some extra web site between Calendar and the software trying to integrate with it.Also, as a security consideration, if an application does embed a web browser in it so it can authenticate with OAuth, the first requirement is no longer met -. When using a standard web browser, once a user leaves the third party software's site and redirects to Calendar's site, the third party software cannot steal the information the user is entering. But when the third party software itself is the one which browses to Calendar's site, then it has access to everything the user is entering, including passwords.Actually, this attack works on OAuth in every circumstance, including web site to web site, and I've actually used it in practice. A web site can embed a web browser via a Java Applet or similar, or have a web browser server side which presents the OAuth log in page to the user, but slightly modified to have all the data entered pass through the third party site. Therefore OAuth doesn't even fulfill its own primary security objective!Next, once we go to the enterprise level, OAuth starts becoming much worse. Say a boss has his secretary manage his calendar for him, which is a very common scenario. In many OAuth setups, he cannot enter his Calendar credentials into the company-wide calendaring software running on a secure company server, which the secretary can then access. Rather, he would need to enter it directly in the browser the secretary uses, and stay there checking off many options. Also it is common that OAuth implementations are using security tokens which, meaning the boss will need to keep reentering his Calendar credentials again and again. Most bosses will just get fed up and give his secretary his credentials, especially if he's not physically near his secretary. It is also likely that the secretary will then write the password down.

It’s not Tracie Reeves’s thick Tennessee twang that hooks viewers into the two-hour-long shows she broadcasts via Facebook Live, six times a week. “I don't know how they listen to my voice,” Reeves confides. “I’ve tried to watch the videos back. Can’t do it. I’m absolutely one of the most annoying people that I’ve ever heard.” Beejoli Shah is a freelance journalist and a contributing editor for Pacific Standard. ——— Sign up to get Backchannel's weekly newsletter, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Yet 25,000 Facebook fans tune in to watch Reeves—a bubbly, relatable young mother of four, with a habit of dropping F-bombs—do what she does surprisingly well: sell oysters over the internet. Specifically, it’s the cultured freshwater pearls, synthetically dyed in a prismatic array of hues; she sells them on her Live show, My Mermaid Treasure. Though Facebook’s live-streaming interface is better known for giving rise to viral one-offs like Chewbacca Mom, for Reeves and a host of other wannabe entrepreneurs, Live has provided a ready template just waiting to be hacked into an ecommerce tool. Reeves isn’t the only woman on Facebook hosting “pearl parties”—a kind of virtual Avon party for bivalves, with a digital living room that can seat thousands. Like her pearl-shucking and shilling peers, she is a member of a growing group of small business owners who have keenly deputized Facebook Live to reach a broader fan base. Hosts regularly broadcast multiple times a week as they pry open oyster shells to reveal a cheap, colorful pearl inside, keeping viewers hooked with gimmicks including raffles, giveaways, and unyielding amounts of pep. Scan across the Facebook Live map, and more often than not, someone will be selling you something: impossibly fuzzy blankets; vintage clothing; pearls. Facebook launched Live to all users in 2016, hoping to capitalize on the burgeoning live video trend and court high school and college-age users who were moving away from the platform toward competitors like Snapchat. But for small business owners, Live streaming has taken the passive ecommerce shopping experience and made it active, without ever forcing a shopper outside for human interaction. Sellers aren’t just selling pearls: They’re selling two hours of time—what Reeves calls “hanging in the comments”—chatting about relationships, motherhood, and, from time to time, pearls. Despite this growing sector, Facebook hasn’t made ecommerce easy.

Largest Loss Of Wealth In History Our nation and the world at large has suffered these events with varying severity overtime and survived. This current cycle seems to be the worst of all promulgated by extreme excesses. Our primary worry is what happens politically. Do we lose our freedom or, merely go socialist? Will American citizens behave themselves trying to work their way through these problems or turn to violence? Since these questions cannot be clearly answered with so many variables involved, we think now is the time to protect family and friends with physical gold and silver and perhaps some trading in shares for gain. Debts and unmanageable obligations should be shunned and paid-off or, at least paid down. This is not a time for buying fancy stuff and frivolous items. Hunker down and save. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. The sun shall rise tomorrow. Just be ready if it’s only fair to partly cloudy. Worse yet, gird yourself for huge currency storms. We think with October market dangers mostly over but having an election to win, the PPT will continue to prop their little hearts out not permitting the Dow and S&P 500 to get out of control. In our newsletter, Trader Tracks, we provide weekly guidance and extra e-mail alerts to report our best new trades and offer suggestions for trade management. Visit our website at (webeatthestreet.com) for more information on our spectacular futures and commodities trading record. Whatever you do, make a concerted effort to stay with the trend and hang onto your core holdings of favorite shares, cash, and coins. Physical gold should never be sold or, traded but rather accumulated steadily on a monthly savings plan. Recent news says you cannot find any coins or, others. We see delays and back-orders but some dealers have goods in hand right now. Go shopping. Should you have difficulty buying physical metals, we suggest placing an order and being patient. Big traders are always ready to buy the dips and normally never sell their gold and silver. You would be amazed how quickly your physical gold and silver will accumulate using this strategy. In our conversations at conferences, several readers and others have shown interest in attending a futures and commodities trading-training seminar. Please contact our offices with this request as we plan a private conference for our traders to help them in the first quarter of 2009. Roger Wiegand

"Besides the fact that I have asked my employees to sign a bond in this regard to keep the names of our clients secret, I have also tied up with (logistics services firm) Aramex International to ensure that customers can collect the products from Aramex offices in their hometown," says Saraiya.Which means a customer residing with, say, his/her parents can collect the "tamper-proof, unmarked package" from an Aramex office that he/she has specified while placing her order. "As soon as he (Saraiya) came up with the idea, we agreed for this arrangement," says Percy Avari , regional manager ( South Asia ) at Aramex.As of now, payments on the site - which was soft-launched recently - are to be made through credit/debit cards or via Net-banking. Saraiya said he soon plans to introduce cash-on-delivery services and extend the reach to small towns.Among others, Digital E-Life has entered into exclusive agreements with well-known global brands such as Shirley of Hollywood, the American lingerie brand. Similar pacts are in place with companies selling adult products such as PJUR ( Germany ), Sensuva (US), Shunga ( Canada ), Male Basics (US) and Premium Bodywear (Germany).

What you don’t want to do is burn-out on the first set, which is exactly what happens when you repeatedly go until failure. You’re not working harder, you’re just sabotaging your gains.Once you reach the point where you can no longer complete a set, drop weight by a set amount and continue. Start with 10% as a baseline, and tweak it from there for your situation. As you get to lifting heavier weights, you may want to back off a bit from the 10% rule. I currently drop-sets in 20 lb increments (10 lbs for upper body), and that seems to be the perfect balance of just enough relief while still keeping the intensity up. Once you can complete 5 sets at the highest weight, increase the starting weight by your drop-set for the next training session.Sounds simple right, but let’s walk through a few examples. Combine workout A/B with workouts 1-3, whichever combination you prefer.Sets of 3x Reps, 80-90% 1RM, 30 sec rest continuous circuitSTOP before failure, lower weight for next Set and continueRepeat for 30 mins straightSets of 3x Reps, 80-90% 1RM, alternating exercises, no rest continuous circuit supersetsSTOP before failure, lower weight for next Set and continueRepeat for 30 mins straightComplete workout A or B, with workout 1, 2 or 3. For example, Tuesday you might do A/2, and Thursday might be B/3. You can switch up 1-3 and rotate them every week, but always do an A and a B workout each week. Total workout time should be a little over an hour (30 mins for A or B, and 30 mins for 1, 2 or 3), but trust me you’ll feel like you’ve been to hell and back in that short amount of time. It's more like a marathon than a sprint, and just when you feel like giving up you drop weight. I like the combined volume with intensity, and the 3 rep range seems to be perfect for me to get both while still getting the growth benefits of lifting heavy. After all, what good is having the ability to lift a couch if you can't carry it down the stairs and out to the truck? I’ve also found that the high intensity carries over well to trail running and obstacle course work (Spartan Beast, SC).

This latest article comes from a rather surprising source considering the content of the article: the La Jolla Laboratories of Pfizer Worldwide R&D. What immediately attracted me to this article, despite it being somewhat of a targeted synthesis, was the starting material depicted in the graphical abstract. [1.1.1] Propellanes are not your run-of-the-mill sython and considering the fond place I have in my heart for strained systems, I couldn’t pass this one up.The article begins by outlining that one of the up and coming strategies for medicinal chemistry is gaining “access to novel chemical space”. One area that is somewhat underdeveloped in this regard is small molecules with rather unusual structures, such as bicyclopentanes (and in my opinion, bicyclobutanes). In particular, Bunker and his colleagues at Pfizer were interest in bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylamine. Why you might ask? Well, many recent medicinally-active structures feature the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentylamine moiety. The article gives two examples, one being a new quinolone-based antibiotic and the other is a heat-shock protein inhibitor.

"Oh man, I had a great time with Pacifica today...wait wait, if Dipper is here and hes lready asleep...I should go see Mabel!" he quickly thought sitting down on the couch. "Huh...Dipper...need to use the restroom" he said as Dipper snored, he was in a deep sleep. "Time to go to Mabel" he said to himself slowly getting out of the room. The old door screeched, it startled Pacifica as she was settling on the room at her left. Soos walked down to the room adjacent to him, where he could see the light from the fireplace coming from below the door "Mabel girl, I'm coming for you" he told to himself. He opened the door to her room, the light from the fire clearly revealed Wendy and Mabel sleeping soundly on the bed. "Wendy? what is she doing here? what is going on...duude im freaking out" he thought Soos walked to Mabel, softly trying to wake her up without startling her, he ducked by the bedside and poked Mabel in her oblique, no answer, he tried once again, "Mabel!" he whispered. she woke up clueless "Oh what" Mabel said waking up looking tired opening just one eye "Mabel, it's Soos, down here!" "Woah, Soos! how did you got here!' she added regaining full consciousness. "I'm sorry Mabel, I was wrong, you were right, I should never had gotten involved with Pacifica" Soos lied looking for Mabel's pardon. "Oh Soos!" Mabel smiling replied, dazzling Soos with the reflection of the fire on her baces. Soos stuttered "Oh, May..Mabel" stunned at her beauty "Wish I could be with you, but you're here with Wendy and Dipper is on the other room" he added. "I know..." Mabel replied. "Hey, we should get our own room!" she replied. "Oh, thats a great idea Mabel!" he added while walking out with Mabel. Pacifica wasn't really comfortable with all that screeching and whispering, she suspected the shack abandoned at all when out of the sudden Soos and Mabel walked in. "Its to dark" Mabel said, "It's also too cold" she added. "I can fix that" said Soos leaving the room "Mabel!" Pacifica whispered gazing her eyes at her from the couch. Soos quickly came back holding a tray with a burning log on it, he trowed it onto the fireplace and ventilated it using the tray. The room illuminated. "Way to go Soos!

I replaced the magnetron in my microwave and ripped apart the old one with my kids to 'see how it works'. Boy, there are some mother magnets in there! me and the kids had fun with them. you know - push me pull you; the paper clip boat; which easter egg has the metal and which has the wood; etc. enough with this kid stuff - 'wanna see something really cool?' Says I. Having been around monitors for a long time in the computer business, I showed them what what a REALLY powerful magnet will do to an electron beam in a cathode ray tube - my sharp 19" color TV. "Wow, dad! psychodelic! It looks like all the colors are flushing down the toilet!" Boy, was I DAD or what? The problem was that my experience with magnets and monitors were in the monochrome days! So the price I paid for such esteem in the eyes of my children were purple faces and green legs on my sharp 19" color TV! Uh-oh! Well, maybe it will be all right by tomorrow. Well it wasn't. Now I'm getting worried! I used to do computer support at a television station so I called an old engineer friend there for help. He just hee- hawed! As he was drying his eyes, he suggested that I had probably just magnetized the mask and he'd loan me a degausser. I offered to buy him lunch for the favor. This was Friday and because of my friend's diagnosis I was able to relax about the problem enough to think about it. Hmmmm... Degausser = alternating magnetic field. Strong magnetron magnet. Hmmmm... Alternating... So I got this great idea! I took the ring magnet I used to mess it up, tied a string to it, suspended it on the string and spun it as fast as I could. I put it up to the CRT and brought it away slowly! Eureka! On Monday, I called my smart-aleck friend and cancelled the lunch! :) Can a Really Strong Magnet Permanently Damage the CRT? Even a magnet that can suspend your weight may still not have much range as they usually have metal pole pieces that concentrate the flux and work well only with a matching flat steel plate.

His next novel, “Breakfast of Champions,” got a mixed reaction from critics. Buffeted by bad reviews and caught up in the protracted and painful dissolution of his marriage, he next wrote “Slapstick,” a novel about a brother and sister who are ignorant and fumbling when separated, but geniuses when they touch. In the autobiographical preface, he declared that his own sister Alice was the person he had always written for: “She was the secret of whatever artistic unity I had ever achieved. She was the secret of my technique.” Lately, however, he could no longer feel her presence. Alice was surely on his mind, but he was also writing about Jane. “One peculiar feature of our relationship,” he wrote Jane in 1943, “is that you are the one person in this world to whom I like to write. If ever I do write anything of length—good or bad—it will be written with you in mind.” “Slapstick” follows what happens when siblings Wilbur and Eliza Swain are forcibly separated. Wilbur goes on to become President of the United States, while Eliza is locked away in an asylum. Coming into physical contact one last time, they write a manual on child-rearing. We went berserk. . . . I could no longer tell where I stopped and Eliza began, or where Eliza and I stopped and the Universe began. It was gorgeous and it was horrible. Yes, and let this be a measure of the quantity of energy involved: The orgy went on for five whole nights and days. Critics have largely taken Vonnegut at his word about “Slapstick,” believing the book to be about Alice. But Jane was his compatriot in child-rearing. She was his other half, the yin to his yang, without whom he feared he might never get it right again. In a 1943 letter to Jane explaining why he loved her, he described their union as a kind of outburst much like those of Wilbur and Eliza Swain. I have a number of wild dreams which come and go with the green in the leaves. Once conceived I tell you about them. If they’re good dreams you take them up with a flood of enthusiasm and we’re very soon shrieking to each other about them in a transport of delight much greater than if the dream were realized. Then we sink back, logically in each others’ arms, happily exhausted by a swift trip to heaven and back.

More than 9 years of GPS and GRACE data were stacked and averaged into a monthly interval to estimate monthly snapshots of the 3‐D displacements. The continent‐wide northwest shift in summer (December–February) and southeast shift in winter (June–August) are observed.

In the last year and a half and change things with the idea of new arena the entertainment complex the new. You know he's the overall professionalism new uniforms and what not bringing in Jason Kidd and in the way that all went down. I'm surprised to hear you say that you have not met. Mark oral lass who reached out to you from the Milwaukee blocks or was it sort of there was a bit of a vacancy hiding it. How does the two sides connect because you know you we know that you you know worked in new York and worked all over the world and whatnot. Maybe that that Artest you know it was. Had three weeks I just right exactly instill occasion that we haven't I haven't been at the walk yet we just got to officially yet we're gonna we're so. We did not it's been about three weeks. So that's so we're living in a couple of I live in New York City. Okay series and into committing multiple -- twelve games through. Nate are you commuting out the pac twelve to do some games on the West Coast. While that's a lot of trail the men bully cal yeah it's. She beats have you had to learn to become a Green Bay Packers fan yet that's gonna be they'll now ordinary last step for us. That'll never happen over Detroit Lions. That's not. Our problem. I called up first thing I don't like about Gus Johnson right now. Top. Twelve years while his guy and TV and I found out I don't carry. Not gonna be a problem is like the Lions ever be a bit Lambeau or is this is not in it. They does appreciate him and we will look we'll show you get I'm sure when you get into Milwaukee as we get closer to the season. And I know there's a lot of excitement amongst Bucs fans to have you in the Booth. Now for twenty games this year thanks so much for the time and again welcome Milwaukee welcome to Wisconsin and welcome on behalf of all the Bucs fans. So what everybody and look forward to be a part of your community. He's a great basketball it don't get ready. To get gusts. Okay let's take you.

Let me seeby your applausewho here wrote a thesis? Thats nice. A lot of hard work went into that thesis. And no one is ever going to care. I wrote a thesisthis is true, I dont lieLiterary Progeria in the Works of Flannery OConnor and William Faulkner. Lets just say that during my discussions with Pauly Shore, it doesnt come up much. For three years after graduation I wanted to show it to everyone, and so I kept my thesis in the glove compartment of my car, so that I could show it to a policeman in case I was pulled over. What else can you expect in the real world? Let me tell you. As you leave these gates and re-enter society, one thing is certain. Everyone out there is going to hate you. Never tell anyone in a roadside diner that you went to Harvard. In those situations, the correct response to, Where did you go to school? is School? I never had much in the way of book learnin and such. And then get in your BMW and get the hell out of there. Go. You see, kids, youre in for a lifetime of And you went to Harvard? Accidentally give the wrong amount of change in a transaction, and its And you went to Harvard? Ask at the hardware store how the jumper cables work, and hear And you went to Harvard? Forget just once that your underwear goes inside your pants, and its And you went to Harvard? Get your head stuck in your nieces doll house cause you want to see what its like to be a giant, and its Uncle Conan, you went to Harvard? So you really know whats in store for you after Harvard, I have to tell you what happened to me after graduation. Im going to tell it simply, Im going to tell it honestly, because, first of all, I think my perspective may give many of you hope, and, secondly, its such a cool, amazing rush to be in front of 6,000 people and just talk about yourself. Its just great. Its so cool. And I can take my time. You see, kids, after graduating in May, I moved to Los Angeles. I got a three-week contract at a small cable show.

Empowerment is a bold word; it's a dramatic concept. And none of those terms – drama, boldness or empowerment – are ones young students often associate with math or science. They didn't used to, at least. Lansing's Information Technology Empowerment Cente r, or ITEC, has been working to change all that. "We're all about confidence and competence," says ITEC Executive Director Kirk Riley. "It's not good enough to be able to do but find it boring. We're doing it through innovative, IT-based methods. "What that means is fifth graders building robots with Legos, and third graders learning to design video games during a variety of afterschool programs throughout Lansing. Though that may seem nearly impossible to even well-educated adults who view robotics and programming as highly specialized skills, ITEC is defying that mind frame with the help of software such as Kodu, a Microsoft product that allows beginning game designers to create projects through simple coding.Though ITEC doesn't turn away students of any socioeconomic demographic, the program focuses on at-risk students in the Lansing area. All students qualifying as H.O.P.E. scholars are invited to join, with the aim of exciting these young minds in the STEM areas. "We're setting up a learning environment where kids are free to explore," Riley says. "They are free to explore at their own pace. There is no answer key in the ITEC classroom. Instead there is creativity and ideas. "In order to empower kids to love math and science, however, ITEC first empowered themselves by building partnerships with organizations citywide, such as the YMCA, Capital Area District Library, Impression 5 and more. "Partnerships are important be cause we work all over town," says Riley. "Our partners do a lot of what is needed to enable ITEC to succeed. If we had to pay for every computer lab and every snack, our cost would be a lot higher. "ITEC, in fact, began as a partnership. The organization launched in 2007 after Michigan State University identified a shortage of qualified computer science applicants. The idea behind ITEC was, instead of retraining college students and professionals in the field, to instill computer science competency and enthusiasm in students from a young age. "These were real issues for [MSU]," says Riley of the talent shortage, "but the real motivator in creating ITEC was to do the right thing by Lansing youth, and that was to give them a leg up in IT and STEM careers.

An accumulation of the genes involved in B12 cobalamin synthesis has been found in the intestinal microbiota of adults compared to infants [44]. Our data suggest that there might be factors other than age influencing vitamin B12 synthesis. The observed differences in sugar metabolism, such as the absence of xylose isomerase derived from Actinobacteria in some subjects, may point to a diet lacking the respective substrates. However, as we do not have dietary records of the study participants, causal explanations for the individual as well as temporal differences between the faecal metaproteomes cannot be provided. We did not detect any obvious functional differences in the faecal metaproteome following the probiotic intervention as compared to the placebo. This is in line with our previous results from the same cohort i.e. the LGG intervention did not change the overall composition of the faecal microbiota; only the amount of Lactobacilli (reflecting the ingested strain) differed significantly after the intervention [22]. With LGG representing only up to 0.1% of the total faecal community in the post-intervention samples, it is not surprising that LGG-specific proteins were hardly detected. However, immunological differences between the two groups have been detected [21], evidence that the probiotic product did exert some effects. Rather than colon that represents the predominant source of faecal material, it is more likely that differential protein expression after LGG intake takes place in the ileum which is a region of the gut less densely populated with bacteria and a more active site of signaling. It remains possible that the changes at the protein level in the gut lumen (versus intra-mucosal) are too subtle to be measured with the MS approach used here: i.e. data dependent MS analysis. However, there was a trend that the ratio of bacterial/eukaryotic peptides was increased in the LGG group. Previously, comparative studies on faecal metaproteomes have been conducted between healthy and diseased subjects. These kind of studies in which an intact and pathologically perturbed intestinal ecosystems have been compared to each other represent much more drastic phenotypic differences than present in our study and may explain the lack of clear differences observed in our cohort [17,18]. In a comparison of the microbial profiles and metaproteomes of healthy and Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients, CD patients could be distinguished from the healthy controls based on their 2-DE proteome profiles [18].

Politically, China and the EU can have in-depth discussions and exchange views on peace, development and global matters on the basis of the principles of sincerity and good faith. In cultural terms, the two sides are committed to people-to-people exchanges, especially those between young people, and trying to defuse tensions in order to lay a solid foundation for a long-term and sound relationship. It is true that the mentalities of both China and the EU are undergoing subtle changes; therefore profound challenges are constantly arising in relations between the two. China's upgrading of its industrial structure and Europe's economic slowdown will intensify competition between the two in the global market. The level of trust between the two politically is far from ideal due to the persistence of ideological biases toward China in the EU. More patience and tolerance will be required on behalf of both sides. The past four decades have witnessed the two sides breaking free from the numerous chains that have long hindered the development of bilateral ties. Thus, it is foreseeable that bilateral cooperation might be further expanded over the next 40 or 50 years. Though Brussels may be distant in relation to Beijing geographically, the mindset of both parties with regard to achieving common prosperity is growing ever closer.

, contributing tohe logical problem with "Say No to Racism" is that it is implicitly self-indicting, particular and solely to our own ethnicity. It invokes subtle hypothecating guilt in the consciousness of high-trust Europeans, while remaining meaningless among low-trust out-groups who wear it like a ju-ju bone that says; "No One Can Say No to Me". Yet they never resolve their own intraracial race bigotry without blaming a Western interest. The only groups that the racism ju-ju bone harms are European ethnicities; yet they treat our compassion as a weakness. We have learned more than enough about, and contributed far too much, to low-trust out-groups. It is rational that our knowledge be turned against them: historically they have never hesitated to do their worst, at any opportunity. Torturous adherence to the infrared-illusion that the Asian is an agreeable presence in the West, is more symptomatic of their presence, than a merit of our good conscience. Observing their behaviours, a long list of incompatible fundamentals obliquely welcome themselves into our culture for ostentatious extras, copyright knowledge, prestige-trinkets and tradecraft. In essential character, a stale green rage for all artful things, identities and languages other than their own; all of which leaves our true and good in dissonant pitch. Civic Westerners and Europeans suffer unduly by these characteristics of the Sino-Tibetan, as their zeal for the things and authority of everyone, anyone, anywhere debases all the Occident into disproportionate demographies, amid Asia's apocalyptic relation with their Eastern-Asiatic indoctrinators, from whom they have not escaped nor identified.In one manifestation of the Sino-Tibetan culture, the Asian National within their own racial dynamics,(Kobayashi, 1959); and in another formation, a fraudulent diaspora, living in vain as foreign state-nationals, ventriloquizing whatever fetishistic or necessary claims to citizenship are required in Europe and the West. The form of rationale which leads to chasing this varietal dragon is endemic to their original character dysfunction: that proceeds both into and from the CCP and their respective homeland polities, it also does not retrieve or return to its own; but in a fleeting euphoria, sentimentally imagines authentic selfhood within the homeland of their own culture while not going.

I've never ever heard someone say "that's a mighty sexy penis you've got there" Or "My what a lovely vagina you have" It's ludicrous. To imply that it's completely irrelevant would be untrue, but to claim that you're utterly unwilling because of this fact is... well, depressing. What if, for instance, a gay cis male came to date a gay cis male, and the latter was found to have been victim of a botched circumcision. Would you instantly dump him because he doesn't have the coveted penis? It's not to say sex is unimportant, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.I'm going to go ahead and go out on a limb, because I think this is a general issue that plagues the thought processes of people who are trans, as well as people who don't understand trans lesbians, by clarifying once again the basic concept: Sexual Orientation and Gender are INDEPENDENT from each other. People have this fallback expectation that it's a definitive aspect of a woman that she be attracted to men. People further have a definitive aspect of a man that they are attracted to women. (This is heterosexual privilege but go with me here) Basically, since people believe these binaries are the 'normal' baseline, they expect someone who's 'just trans' to be following said baseline. I.E. if you want to be woman, a part of it MUST be that you're attracted to men. (This is also because people falsely try to rationalize why a guy would want a gender change and instantly assume it's sexually motivated). This is what leads people to say such ignorant things as "Well, if you're into guys, can't you just be gay instead?" or this gem: "If you like women, what's the big deal? You're a guy just like anyone else! "These dismiss the fact that it's not their sexual attraction that bothers them, it's their gender, their body, their social role, etc. You aren't a 'more legit' trans woman if you're into guys, you're a straight trans woman (this argument is commonly framed "Trannier than thou"). Likewise, people shouldn't come to expect that being a transwoman comes with the baggage that you must like men. Likewise likewise, people should absolutely NOT be using a transgender lesbian's sexual orientation as some sort of 'proof' that she must be a guy. This is equating "wants to screw women" with "is a man".

[+346, -45] I really want Mnet to release the votes of the people who voted for JellyFish Kang Mina in 3rd because I refuse to believe it12. [+198, -7] Kim Sejung, Choi Yoojung, and Somi are so safe in their positions that I don't really care what happens to them but I really am curious about where the rest will end up13. [+205, -13] I love how all the companies under CJ are in the top votes. JellyFish and MBK both ㅋㅋㅋ all of JellyFish is in the top 5 with nonstop promotions~~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ14. [+230, -28] Not really fond of any of the top 11, even Kim Sejung... it's so obvious that the JellyFish kids are getting preferential treatment. And why is Dani even up that high? If this group actually ends up debuting together, it's only going to get them a bunch of antis ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ15. [+188, -14] Kim Sejung is starting to get hate now because she gets all the screentime to herself. Mnet needs to start distributing it evenly but they give it all to her and all viewers see is her so they give her all their votes.

George now has a £4.4bn hole to fill, and not much to fill it with. He has committed to tax cuts he can't afford, and now that the welfare budget is effectively ring-fenced alongside the NHS, education, pensions, overseas aid and defence, it is hard to see where he is going to find sufficient cuts in the remaining unprotected departments to deliver his prized fiscal surplus.How he deals with this depends on where George thinks his interests lie. This Budget - like all of his previous ones - has little to do with economics and much to do with securing a Conservative victory at the next election (and his own place in No.10). Will he resort to further bloodletting - perhaps in local authority budgets - and hope the restive Conservative backbench MPs accept it? Or will he quietly change the mandate and hope no-one notices?The attitude of Conservative backbenchers is key to Osborne's survival. Duncan Smith's motives may be questionable, but his analysis hit hard . The Government's fiscal strategy, of which this Budget is the latest instalment, places an unacceptable burden on the poorest and most vulnerable people in the country while giving unjustified handouts to the well-off. Some Conservative MPs already find this hard to stomach. Further fiscal transfers from poorer to richer may be more than they will tolerate. Duncan Smith's resignation exposed a deep rift in the Conservative party, not only over Europe but also over domestic fiscal policy. Far from creating "one nation", dear to the hearts of many Tories, Osborne's regressive policies deepen the rich-poor divide. The Conservative party may not be able to afford George's ambition.More importantly, this Budget is unaffordable under the Chancellor's own rules, themselves only set for political reasons. He has sacrificed sound economic management on the altar of political ambition. The price for this will be paid by us all.I don't think the country can afford him.

A long time ago, SMTP clients found SMTP servers by looking at A records. People decided to introduce MX records for extra flexibility. Right now, clients find SMTP servers, web servers, etc. by looking at A records and making IPv4 connections. People decided to introduce AAAA records and IPv6 connections. Some people thought that every server on the Internet should be forced to set up MX records. Then they could start deploying clients that used MX records and that can't talk to A records. Some people think that every server on the Internet should be forced to set up a new IPv6 address and publish AAAA records. Then they can start deploying clients that use AAAA records and IPv6, and that can't talk to A records and IPv4. A much less expensive transition plan, and the one that was adopted, was for clients to continue using A records when there were no MX records, effectively embedding A records into MX space. This allowed existing servers to talk to MX clients without any effort on the part of the server administrator. A much less expensive transition plan, and the one that should be adopted, is for clients to continue using A records, using an embedding of IPv4 addresses into IPv6 space. This allows existing servers to talk to IPv6 clients without any effort on the part of the server administrator. Deployment of MX clients depended vitally on having those clients fall back to A records in the absence of MX records. The other approach, pestering every DNS administrator on the Internet to set up MX records, would have been a miserable failure. Deployment of IPv6 clients depends vitally on having those clients fall back to A records, and talk to servers on IPv4 addresses, in the absence of AAAA records. The other approach, pestering every computer administrator on the Internet to set up IPv6 addresses and AAAA records, is a miserable failure. Many people didn't understand the importance of this embedding. For example, RFC 974 characterizes it as ``benefit of the doubt'' rather than an essential part of the protocol definition. Many people don't understand the importance of this embedding. For example, Keith Moore characterizes it as a ``guess'' rather than an essential part of the protocol definition. Looking at old-client-new-server instead of new-client-old-server: There was a transition period from old clients, connecting only to A records, to new clients, which also understood MX.

The Court took an additional step in 1985, ruling that the state must pay for experts who could present mitigating evidence about capital defendants to juries. “This is partly why death-penalty cases are so much more expensive than other cases,” Steiker said. “It’s not just that there is a separate penalty-phase proceeding, but the defense has the right, even the obligation, to go find mitigating evidence.” Given the complexity of Nichols’s case, Georgia Capital Defenders, the organization created by the 2003 reform, assigned four lawyers to it. (The state usually assigns two defense lawyers in death-penalty cases.) But in May, 2005, two months into the assignment, Nichols’s lawyers learned that one member of their team had moved to Georgia from out of state and let his bar membership lapse. On the theory that further representation by any one of them could taint Nichols’s defense, all four lawyers asked for, and got, Judge Fuller’s permission to withdraw.

Taking forward the NDA government's Skill India campaign, the railways will provide space and manpower for the carrying out of skill development programmes across the country. "Skill development is very important and now we will be working for that purpose," Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said in New Delhi today after signing an MoU with Skill Development and Entrpreneurship Ministry.The public transporter will provide unutilised and less-utilised spaces at stations, workshops, railway schools and training institutes for the skill development programmes in the country.It will also provide manpower to impart skill training on rail premises. "Our railway employees will also impart training as part of their social responsibility," Mr Prabhu said.There are about 7,000 stations on the railways' network along with a good number of workshops and training institutes some of which are not fully utilised. So these spaces will be used for skill training programmes.Describing the signing of the MoU with the railways as a "momentous occasion". Skill Development Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said the transporter "is a big organisation and we are doing a massive skill training programme across the country".With the signing of the MoU, National Skill Development Corporation will be able to provide the right platform to a large number of the rural unemployed youth to learn skills that will help them become economically self-reliant and productive members of the society, officials said.Prime Minister Narendra Modi will formally launch the National Skill Development Mission by unveiling the new National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and rolling out on an all-India basis the ministry's flagship scheme, 'Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikash Yojana' tomorrow.The government has set a target of skilling 40.2 crore people by 2022 under the new National Policy for Skill Development.The Prime Minister will also launch the Kaushal Vikas Yojana on the same day at a mega event to mark the World Youth Skills Day here.

Nonetheless, in June of 1987, Nair began the project without the money to finish it. She felt, she says, “like a warrior.” The slogan on the production T-shirts bore witness to her bravado: “NO GUTS NO GLORY—52 LOCATIONS 52 DAYS—WHAT PROBLEM? NO PROBLEM.” The enterprise brought together the intellectual strands of Nair’s life: theatre, politics, the documentary tradition. Acting workshops were organized for the street children Nair recruited—a hundred and thirty narrowed down to twenty-four, who were then issued official-looking I.D. cards to protect them from being carted off by the police and remanded to the almost Dickensian homes dramatized in the film. In a series of drafts, Nair and Taraporevala developed a plot from the stories of street children they had interviewed. The film, they decided, would follow an abandoned ten-year-old as he made his way through the choked Bombay slums, where he lived rough among beggars and drug addicts, progressing from bumpkin to street-savvy survivor. “Salaam Bombay!” would capture the pathos and bravery amid India’s chaos, the realities of its low life and its low talk. But the uncertainty of so many factors, according to Epstein, who was the co-producer and production designer, made the situation “hellish.” “It was a David-and-Goliath situation,” he says. “We were up against all the odds—how to get through it, how not to get sick, how to keep everybody together. It was larger than us.” Dinaz Stafford, Nair’s collaborator and trouble-shooter, remembers one moment of despair: “We’d been working on the film. We’d set up the workshop. This huge juggernaut had been moved into action, getting people to work for hardly any money. And Mira and I went up on the top of this building—it was sunset—and she told me she didn’t have the money for the project. It was like, O.K., we may have to close this now.” After a lot of flimflammery and economy with the truth, Nair managed to cajole completion cash out of a French company. At the end of the shoot, she wrote in her journal, “I am so worn out, worn out of feeling, insisting, demanding, hoping, making it happen. A section of my hair has turned almost completely gray, à la Indira.” She was thirty years old. Six months later, on May 19, 1988, only three days after she’d finished cutting the movie, “Salaam Bombay!” made its world première at the closing gala at Cannes.

I guess they wanted to take "News" out of the name since their shows now are more variety shows than news.The first International Polar Year was 1881 to 1884. That looks like 3 or 4 years to me, but maybe they counted differently back then. This site is really interesting, complete with photos and drawings.There have been a lot of people getting killed in Mexico. Since 2006, tens of thousands of people have been killed in violence related to the illegal drug business.On the U.S. side of the border, the Mexican drug cartels are paying off hundreds of U.S. Customs agents. 770 corruption investigations were opened this year alone.A few months ago I read about this a in The Netherlands named Roy who wrote a program to search for music digitally, using the contents of the sound file instead of the name or file information. He called it a "weekend hack" and posted his code in a blog.Landmark Digital Services started writing him, claiming patent infringement. They told him, among other things, that he couldn't even describe the algorithm online, even though the algorithm is described online in their patent application.The algorithm is also described elsewhere on the internet:I think Roy in The Netherlands has figured out that since the software patent has not been registered in The Netherlands, he's free to post his code in The Netherlands. It must be nice not to have to deal with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.Who is Landmark Digital Services? Before I looked it up, I had guessed they were just another patent troll. However, they are a subsidiary of BMI, the recording company. I read that they use the audio recognition software to recognize songs being played so they can sue the people who play them. It's a nice way to treat your customers.This is one more instance in which someone bought a patent and is using it to stifle creativity and innovation. It's a little like Microsoft's patent on how to turn a page in a digital book, except Microsoft did come up with this patent on its own:Oracle Corporation has said that software patents are stupid, and they oppose the patentability of software. But they're going to keep getting software patents because everybody else is.Maybe he needs some defensive patents. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen just filed patent lawsuits against Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, YouTube, and Yahoo.

Open peer review is about transforming the peer review process; it is about making peer review a collaborative process between authors and reviewers; it is about constructive criticism, but with the goal of helping the authors to get published. More than all of that, its about doing the right thing. The British Medical Journal gathered convincing evidence that open review did no damage to the quality of peer reviews [7]; yet still they insisted that they introduced open peer review for ethical reasons, believing that removing anonymity would help bring an end to the worst abuses of peer review, and transform the entire process from one of judgement to one of open, scientific discourse [7]. When reading those words, doesnt it make you wonder why peer review was ever anything else? Open education Open education refers to the open and free availability of educational resources. This does not mean that you cannot charge for education - no one can make the tutor work for free - but the resources that are used to educate can be made freely available. Why would you do that? So that others can use and improve them, and so that standards can be set and reached. In my own field, bioinformatics, this is being driven by movements such as GOBLET [8, 9] and Software/Data Carpentry [10]. More widely, massively open online courses (MOOCs) are increasingly popular. Open education brings science and education to everyone, regardless of social class, and that can only be a good thing. Concluding remarks Open science isnt a movement, its just (good) science. Its also the future. Science, and particularly scientific publishing, is at a turning point. It reminds me of retail in the 1990s, just as the internet was beginning to take off. Many huge, successful retailers took one look at the internet and thought Thatll never catch on. Five years later they were closing stores and winding-up their business as the more innovative and agile internet companies replaced them. Open science is the future, and it will replace closed science. I encourage you to embrace it. Competing interests The author declares no competing interests.

Effect of resistance training on muscle use during exercise NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) Ploutz, Lori L.; Tesch, Per A.; Biro, Ronald L.; Dudley, Gary A. 1994-01-01 This study examined the effect of resistance training on exercise-induced contrast shift in magnetic resonance (MR) images. It was hypothesized that a given load could be lifted after training with less muscle showing contrast shift, thereby suggesting less muscle was used to perform the exercise. Nine males trained the left quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle 2 days/wk for 9 wk using 3-6 sets of 12 knee extensions each day. The right QF served as a control. Exercise-induced contrast shifts in MR images evoked by each of three bouts of exercise (5 sets of 10 knee extensions with a load equal to 50, 75, and 100% of the maximum pretraining load that could be lifted for 5 sets of 10 repetitions) were quantified pre- and posttraining. MR image contrast shift was quantified by determining QF cross-sectional area (CSA) showing increased spin-spin relaxation time. One repetition maximum increased 14% in the left trained QF and 7% in the right untrained QF. Left QF CSA increased 5%, with no change in right QSF CSA. Left QF CSA showing contrast shift was less after each bout of the exercise test posttraining. This was also true, to a lesser extent, for the right QF at the higher two loads. The results suggest that short-term resistance training reduces MR image contrast shift evoked by a given effort, thereby reflecting the use of less muscle to lift the load. Because this response was evident in both trained and contralateral untrained muscle, neural factors are suggested to be responsible. The consequence of this adaptation could be to increase 'stress' per unit area of active muscle during the course of training and thereby evoke hypertrophy.

Ok, a lot of people seem to be really confused when I say that #Gamergate is the result of a buildup of distrust between game industry media and gamers. People will scoff and say "Yeah, right! This is all just misogyny!" Frankly, I think that the misogyny view is ridiculously shallow. I just don't understand how anyone can actually believe that thousands upon thousands of people would be this up in arms about women being in the industry. If that were even the case, why did this outrage not happen in 2013, when the ESA published their findings regarding video game demographics? https://www.theesa.com/facts/pdfs/ESA_EF_2013.pdf The 48% of gamers being women is also a bit of a fallacious statement, but we'll get to that later. First, let's talk about the history of gaming media, and how all this distrust came about in the first place. Let's talk about Doritogate. What was Doritogate? Well, I actually had to do some research myself on the issue. Doritogate was a controversy surrounding (almost literally) Geoff Keighley, a video game journalist. The controversy was sparked by a video in which Geoff interviewed Austin Griffith, LevelSave.com's Xbox 360 Editor. The content of what was said is largely irrelevant, but what was relevant was the content of the video itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rbU0mzoMyw (note the approval rating) The ludicrous product placement regarding Doritos and Mountain Dew sparked Rab Florence, a Eurogamer writer, to write an article. In it, he says: "Geoff Keighley is often described as an industry leader. A games expert. He is one of the most prominent games journalists in the world. And there he sits, right there, beside a table of snacks. He will be sitting there forever, in our minds." I feel like this is important to point out. When the "industry leader" is performing such blatant product placement, it becomes hard to take gaming journalism very seriously. But Rab doesn't stop there. He goes on, and he writes something that might be very eye-opening to those who think this is a recent issue. "I want to make a confession. I stalk games journalists. It's something I've always done. I keep an eye on people. I have a mental list of games journos who are the very worst of the bunch. The ones who are at every PR launch event, the ones who tweet about all the freebies they get. I am fascinated by them.

We won't see an exact number of copies because Diamond does not include comics priced below $1 in its charts — but it was surely the highest-volume book.Then, as with April, we have a situation where both DC'sand"Button" issues had lenticular covers priced at a dollar more than their regular versions, and following long-standing convention, Diamond splits those books up in its rankings. We'll know on Monday whether the combined versions might account for enough copies again to surpass the nominal first-place book. I wrote last month about why such issues are divided into separate entries; back in 1994 you'd see the Deluxe and Newsstand versions of Marvel's books likewise split up.It's all a reminder that, as I've written many times, the distributor charts are not a scoreboard. They were created to help retailers place their future orders, and it's helpful for them to, for example, know how the lenticular and regular versions were ordered relative to one another. Yielding a true "winner" every month for spectator interest is irrelevant to the charts' purpose; for the shops, it's not a game.Marvels Guardians line got two top-ten entries,and, in a month in which its movie sequel released to a huge opening.Graphic novels bounced back, finally, aided by a bigger-ticket item inThe book featured the return to the top of the charts by, nearly 26 years after his first top-seller on the comics charts, June 1991's X-Force #1. But the bigger factor appears to be a large increase in the number of new graphic novels shipped, from 271 last May up to 358. That's more than the fifth week would be expected to add.The chart:And speaking of new release volume we see that the big increase in new comics came from Image, which had 71 new periodical entries in the month. That's the highest figure for the company since December 2015.Look for the full charts and estimates here on Monday.

Send us your comments Although the update has been prepared for Windows XP, Vista and 7, not all users will see it. It will not pop up in front of those who already run a different default browser, such as Firefox, Safari or Chrome. Users guaranteed to see it are those that have Internet Explorer (IE) set as their default browser and have taken the option to let Windows automatically download and install updates. Those that have this option turned off will be prompted to download, install and run the software. Those that have automatic updates turned off can go to the Windows Update site and run a "Check For Updates" to get it. When it runs, the software will present users with a window that says in bold text "An important choice to make: your browser". It also asks people to ensure they are connected to the internet. Once the "OK" button is clicked, they will see a screen that lists the 12 browsers available. The Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer browsers are randomly ordered on the first section of this screen. The browser choice comes as part of an anti-trust deal Another seven browsers, namely Sleipnir, Green Browser, Maxthon, Avant, Flock, K-meleon, and Slim, will be randomly ordered on the rest of the screen. They can be viewed by scrolling sideways. Below each listing will be a button giving more information. Another button lets users install one of the browsers. Alternatively, users can opt to ignore the selection and make a choice later. If they do this a shortcut icon will appear on the Windows desktop that gives access to the browser choice window at any time. The choice screen will keep appearing until a user has made a choice. Anyone wanting to stick with IE will be prompted to upgrade to the latest version. Microsoft said that Windows 7 users who have fixed or "pinned" IE to their taskbar will have it unpinned by the update. Right clicking the icon for any browser will let users pin that program to the taskbar. It is not yet clear what effect the browser choice will have on Internet Explorer's market share. Although exact estimates are hard to find, web stats firm Net Applications said IE is used by 62% market share. Its closest rival is Firefox at 24%. Some fear the browser choice system will confuse people.

Zantac or Coca-Cola? The ulcer-relief drug Zantac is a classic case study of a successful, late-entering product. Zantac was superior to the pioneer ulcer drug in important ways—it had fewer side effects, for example—when the company Glaxo began selling it in the early 1980s. A few years later, it was the best-selling prescription drug in the world. Other well-known brands have followed a similar path. Boeing did not pioneer modern jet travel, nor Google the Internet search engine. Yet both companies are now industry leaders. On the other hand, consider Coca-Cola. An entire section of the company’s website is devoted to telling the story of Coke’s evolution from drugstore curiosity in the 1880s to one of the most famous brands in the world today. Though many soda companies have emerged since Coke began selling its product, none of them have its story, its mystique, or its success. Coke’s example highlights one of the great advantages of being a pioneer: you can become the psychological standard—the brand that consumers recall first and most frequently. And being the standard by which other brands are judged, pioneers are in a position to shape consumer tastes and preferences. They shape the product ideal and thus can be hard to beat. Pioneers also benefit from people’s basic risk-aversion. Once consumers have come to trust a brand, they prefer it to untried, unknown alternatives—even when the pioneer costs more. Fast Followers and Late Movers So why are late entrants often more successful than their pioneering competitors? One key factor is that creating a product is costly, both in terms of the money invested and the mistakes made on the path to success. While the pioneer pays a steep price in creating the product category, the later entrant can learn from the experience of the pioneer, enjoying lower costs and making fewer mistakes as a result. Such a fast follower strategy is especially appealing to agile firms with deep pockets. “A lot of times pioneers are not very well funded,” says Carpenter. “They create a competitive game, and then they’re unable to dominate it. Their resources are just too limited. So competitors enter quickly and, with more resources, are able to win the game that the pioneer has created.”

Opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) dissident politician Sinan Oğan said on April 9 that he escaped an assassination attempt during a visit to the Bafra district of the Black Sea province of Samsun, while the district governor denied, saying he was exaggerating the incident.Oğan was visiting local shopkeepers in the district at around 4:30 p.m. when his bodyguards spotted a man who was carrying a gun on his waist among the crowd.The unidentified person immediately escaped the scene after bodyguards chased him. However, they could not apprehend the person and informed the police of the situation.Speaking at an event in the district, Oğan said he escaped an assassination attempt.“They escaped while preparing for an assassination. This is the point they [the government] brought Turkey to with just a ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ vote,” said Oğan, referring to the April 16 referendum on constitutional amendments, which could lead to a shift into an executive presidency if the “Yes” votes triumph. Oğan himself is a supporter of the “No” vote.He also called on Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım to step down unless he is able to provide them life safety, while adding that such attempts would not scare and abstain them from conducting the “No” campaign.Samsun Governor İbrahim Şahin, however, denied such an assassination attempt, stating that the situation was being exaggerated.“Police, who had been on duty to protect Oğan while he was about to enter the hall where his event would be held in our Bafra district, approached a person upon suspicion and he was followed after escaping. He was later apprehended with a blank firing gun. He visited one of his friends working as an accountant and walked down with the motive of curiosity.

Play provides practice for biologically relevant behavior before it is needed, and includes any behavior motivated by enjoyment rather than anticipated reward. Play by birds, such as that in Corvus corvax L. (Common Raven; Heinrich and Smolker 1998 ) is an activity that, though not proximally utilitarian, has a likely utilitarian function expressed in a non-utilitarian context. A similar narrative may apply to the Common Redpolls' behavior. Common Redpolls are one of the smallest boreal finches (~13 g), and because of their small size are thought to have evolved relevant physiology and behaviors that maintain their energy balance and temperature regulation during winter in their high Arctic snow-swept tundra habitat. My observations demonstrate that Common Redpolls not only have the ability, but also the propensity for burrowing in snow. Although these behaviors are likely derived from bathing movements, they endow the birds with a behavioral repertoire that is potentially useful for surviving deep cold in the subnivian zone in the Arctic. However, small birds in the forest might be vulnerable to the common subnivian ground predators, such as Blarina brevicauda (Say) (Short-tailed Shrew). Furthermore, given that during each of the 2 winters during which I conducted my study, there were 1 or 2 days of snow-melt followed by deep frost, I suspect that any small bird spending the night under snow in such a temperature regime of alternating rain or thawing with freezing would entail the lethal risk of becoming trapped under an ice crust. That is, the birds' overall costs of overnighting under the snow may be greater in this climate rather than in the high Arctic, and they desist from going through their entire overnighting behavioral repertoire. Undoubtedly, winter thaws and variable weather make the survival strategy of subnivian overnighting very risky for small birds. Literature Cited W.A. Buttemer , L.B. Astheiner , W.W.

The army established the equivalent of the heavily armoured German Panzer divisions, and tank units were better organised - thanks to the introduction of radios. Soviet army tactics and intelligence-gathering were also overhauled. Camouflage, surprise and misinformation were brilliantly exploited to keep the German army in the dark about major Soviet intentions. The air force was subjected to effective central control and improved communications, so that it could support the Soviet army in the same way as the Luftwaffe backed up German forces. Top

These food products are known to interact with the transplant medications, specifically tacrolimus, cyclosporin and sirolimus; the blood levels of these drugs may be increased, potentially leading to an overdose. [50] Acute rejection occurs in 10–25% of people after transplant during the first 60 days. [citation needed] Rejection does not necessarily mean loss of the organ, but it may necessitate additional treatment and medication adjustments. [51]

“Quality, quality, quality,” says Doug Schutt, Costco’s chief operating officer of merchandise. “Our biggest challenge is making sure the quality is what we say it is.” Costco has a stringent quality-assurance program to test everything from the size of cashews to the amount of skin left on canned peaches. After the E. coli outbreak at Jack-in-the-Box in 1993, Costco was so concerned about its suppliers of ground beef that it built its own beef-processing plant, where the meat is tested every 15 minutes. Now it has even started a pilot project in Nebraska of its own cattle herd. Costco profit margins are a whisper-thin 2%—a figure that has caused grumbling on Wall Street in the past. Most retailers, needless to say, aim to expand margins. “Our culture is counterintuitive,” says Richard Liebenson, who came to Costco from Price Club and is now a member of the board, “paying people the highest wages possible and the best benefits in a business where you’re working on a very low margin and you’re trying to sell merchandise for as little as you can.” But that’s because Sinegal always felt if you satisfied customers and employees, you would eventually satisfy investors too. Nowadays, Wall Street is nearly as smitten with Costco as its 81 million members are. Michael Lasser, a retail analyst at UBS, says it is a matter of the company being true to its founding principles: “delivering high-quality products at very value-oriented prices and being fair and treating its customers and employees with respect.” And, he adds, Costco doesn’t have to rethink itself to compete with hares like Amazon. “Costco’s model remains as relevant today as it was 20 years ago,” Lasser says, “and we don’t think that is really going to change.”

The protocol included a flat bench press with free weights and the “touch-and-go” technique. The research information for the study was collected during the warm-up and the main session. After a general warm-up (a 10-minute run on the treadmill and stretching), all participants performed a more specific warm-up that consisted of 3 sets of 10 to 5 repetitions with light weights selected by the subjects (at 40/60% 1RM of the flat bench press). In the main session, the participants performed consecutive sets of a single repetition of flat bench pressing, and each time with increased loads (70, 80, 90, and 100% 1RM the anticipated maximum weight), until the appointment of one maximum repetition. When a participant reached the anticipated maximum weight, the load was increased until the participant could no longer perform a correct flat bench press. Those who registered attempts that constituted approximately 70, 80, 90, and 100% of 1RM were chosen for analysis (Table 1). If the previous loads did not encompass these values, the participant would perform a flat bench press with the missing load after the maximum attempt. In total, each participant performed between 6 and 9 attempts in the main session. The rest periods between the trials lasted about 5 minutes and were provided to avoid muscular fatigue. For the flat bench press, subjects were in a supine position with the head and trunk supported by the bench, the knees bent, and the feet flat on the floor. All participants used a grip that was 81-cm wide between the forefingers, in accordance with the International Powerlifting Federation's special requirements. One or 2 research assistants acted as the spotter(s) standing behind or near the bench in the event that the participants were not able to successfully lift the weight. The spotter assisted the man in lifting the bar from a support rack, but the weightlifter was not assisted by the spotter during the lift. The barbell was lowered in a smooth, controlled manner to touch the chest (with no “bouncing”) before being returned to a full arm extension (with no excessive arching of the back).

What a fantastic weekend! The weather was perfect, and the people (as always) are beyond perfect! Running with the AROSC is like going home to Mom and apple pie with a dash of 100 octane. Thank you each and every one of you!The online sign-up, and the new tech are a huge improvement.We showed up Friday evening in time to see a few GTVs being offloaded and walk the track.Saturday dawned bright and gorgeous without the threat of heat that is so often a hallmark of this track.Since my car (Joker) is a track only car with virtually nil ground clearance, trailering it is a royal pain. BR Racing takes the pain out of that along with many other details.It was nice to see the usual blend of street and track cars. A newer Saab.Joker has had shakedown issues for the last 4 events I've tried to use it. Saturday morning was no different, with the clutch master sticking and not releasing the clutch when the pedal was released. That resulted in a surprise spin in turn 3/4 as I went from 4 to 3 when the revs rose, but the clutch never re-engaged in 3rd. Thankfully I could get it going and limped back to the garage. BR immediately set about replacing the master (we brought along a spare that looked suspiciously like an Alfa unit). I never even lost a session. Great going guys!Meanwhile I cruised the pits.A couple of BMWs that never made it to Bimmerfest in Pasadena.And Santo's garage brought along an impressive collection of personal and customer cars. Wow!A couple of transaxle cars.Hubby had a little off, and was blown clean by compressed air.The sun slowly sinking we dug out the marinated lamb chops and brined chicken for a trackside bbq.As the light faded, we set out for questionable comforts of Motel 6, 10 miles away. Man! We'd gladly pay a bit more for a softer bed, fluffier pillows, and towels that didn't scratch. Makes camping look attractive!Sunday morning featured dramatic 'Top Gear' clouds with showers looming. Hubby was his usual bubbly self - me the morning grouch.If anything, the Santo garages were even more impressive!The ultimate touch was the Sunday inclusion of a real unrestored Alfa TZ. What a treat. Originally more exclusive and expensive than the Ferrari GTO, it's now worth more than both our Ferraris combined!

Iron head for Fairies. Suker punch for a priority move. and Protect...to....protect.Garchomp @ Life OrbAbility: Rough SkinEVs: (252 Atk / 252 Spd)Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Sp.Atk)-Earthquake-Protect-Rock Slide-Dragon ClawGarchomp was super popular. and he was the fastest, as far as I understood. and my son's absolute favorite. Earthquake to get anyone weak to ground. Rockslide for flying types. Dragon against dragons.So I took this team to worlds just to play in side games....uhhh, bad idea. Part of my problem is that I didn't know all the different pokemon really well. I remember one guy throwing ludicolo out there and I had no idea what his typing was. so that is obviously part of my problem. I am getting better and have completed my living Dex but I still have so much to learn.So there you. I have 11 flawless pokemon. Is there any way I can take 6 of them that have some kind of synergy and strategy and make a half-way not totally crappy team out of them? Someone else suggested that I start new and ditch these pokemon. What do you think?THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me!! !

PCLOB Chairman David Medine said that the Obama administration should not wait for the legal challenges to reach the Supreme Court.“I think the interest would be to move forward and try to resolve those issues sooner rather than later,” he said.The administration has started to make some changes to the programs.Last month, the Justice Department reached a deal with a number of Internet companies to disclose, in broad ranges, the amount of requests for data they receive from the government for national security reasons.That agreement “might provide some guidance on how to balance both important concerns on transparency and national security,” Medine said.Obama has also ordered Attorney Generaland Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to determine additional ways to limit the NSA data collection.The PCLOB is a relatively new body. Though it was officially created in 2007 after a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, its chairman was only confirmed last May. Until that point, the board was unable to hire staff, find an office or get down to work.The panel only found out about the phone records collection program “a month or several weeks before” it was revealed by leaks from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, board member Patricia Wald said.Members of the board said the problem was not that the spy agencies had withheld information but that they did not have the resources or the knowledge to get up to speed.Last week, The Washington Post reported that the proliferation of cellphones had made it harder for the NSA to collect people's phone records.That news “calls into question the entire rationale for the metadata collection program,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who has criticized the spy program.“In this instance, the rationale for this program is that all of the data has to be collected so that connections can be made, algorithms can be applied, analysis can disclose whether or not there are communications that may raise national security concerns.”Medine did not discuss classified details of the program but said the revelation would not change his opinion.“Even if the reports are true, it still remains that hundreds of millions of telephone records are still being collected,” he said. “At least it’s my view that that would not change the recommendation of the board.”

Wing Chun has allowed me to deal with the conversation that goes bad. Most people speak with their hands. They point, they grab and push. Welcome to hundreds of hours of chi sao (sticky hands). If it’s standing and arms are in the touching or within the intimate zone of personal space wing chun has been the answer. Then the use of KALI becomes equally important as weapon sense from bottles, ashtrays (back in the day), stantions and anything else a person could grab comes into play. The relationship between wing chun and Kali is synergistic and they complement each other in the CQC area. If wing chun didn’t have the answer, my Kali filled in the blanks and vice versa. When it comes to subjects that are actively resisting and striking back, I have to say Muay Thai is the most applicable and has been personally the best “show stopper”, in the arsenal. The neck-tie up (plum), and the devastating elbows conclude any form of aggression very quickly. I have personally had great success with single strikes to assaultive subjects using the elbow, the knee and the round kick. Wrestling tie ups and takedowns go hand in hand with Muay Thai clinching skills; its never my first choice to fight on the ground, yet it’s my first choice for anyone I’m trying to control. Wrestling allows me to apply that pressure when number of people, size and strength come into play. A hard head snap or duck under and boom down they go. Saying that, brings me to the last art I find applicable to my profession. Bjj/Jiu Jitsu. Grounding a subject and skillfully lifting them back up with minimal effort and damage to oneself and them. The controls gained by vascular restraints, joint-locks and come-a-longs are invaluable. When it comes to mitigating collateral damage, liability and negligence the system of Jiu Jitsu is hand crafted for my profession.

Since it has become fashionable to deride Smith and his contemporaries for their supposedly erroneous psychology, I may perhaps venture the opinion that for all practical purposes we can still learn more about the behavior of men from the Wealth of Nations than from most of the more pretentious modern treatises on "social psychology." However that may be, the main point about which there can be little doubt is that Smith's chief conern was not so much with what man might occasionally achieve when he was at his best but that he should have as little opportunity as possible to do harm when he was at his worst. It would scarcely be too much to claim that the main merits of the individualism which he and his contemporaries advocated is that it is a system under which bad men can do least harm. It is a social system which does not depend for its functioning on our finding good men for running it, or on all men becoming better than they now are, but which makes use of men in all their given variety and complexity, sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes intelligent and more often stupid. Their aim was a system under which it should be possible to grant freedom to all, instead of restricting it, as their French contemporaries wished, to "the good and the wise." The chief concern of the great individualist writes was indeed to find a set of institutions by which man could be induced, by his own choice and from the motives which determined his ordinary conduct, to contribute as much as possible to the needs of all others; and their discovery was that the system of private property did provide such inducements to a much greater extent than had yet been understood.. They did not contend, however, that this system was incapable of further improvement, and still less, as another of the current distortions of their arguments will have it, that there existed a "natural harmony of interests" irrespective of the positive institutions. They were more than merely aware of the conflicts of individual interests and stressed the necessity of "well-constructed institutions" where the "rules and principles of contending interests and compromised advantages" would reconcile conflicting interests without giving any one group power to make their views and interests always prevail over those of all others. Hayek, Individualism and Economic Order, 1948, 11-13.

Free trade in corn was proclaimed in September 1774, and statute labour was abolished in 1776, as well as the old and corporations and guilds in the towns, which were no longer of use except to keep up a kind of industrial aristocracy, and by these measures hopes of reform were awakened among the people. The poor rejoiced to see the breaking down of the toll-gates, which had been put up all over France, and prevented the free circulation of corn, salt and other objects of prime necessity. For them it meant the first breach in the odious privileges of the landowners; while the peasants who were better off rejoiced to see the joint liability of the taxpayers abolished. Finally, in the August of 1779, mortmain and personal servitude were suppressed upon the King’s private estates, and the following year it was decided to abolish torture, which was used in the most atrocious forms established by the Ordinance of 1670. “Representative Government,” such as was established by the English after their revolution, and was advocated in the writings of the contemporary philosophers, also began to be spoken of. With this end in view, Turgot had even prepared a scheme of provincial assemblies, to be followed later on by representative government for all France in which the propertied classes would have been called upon to constitute a parliament. Louis XVI. shrank from this proposal, and dismissed Turgot; but from that moment all educated France began to talk of a Constitution and national representation. However, it was no longer possible to elude the question of national representation, and when Necker became minister in July 1777, it came up again for discussion. Necker, who understood very well the wishes of his master, and tried to bring his autocratic ideas into some accord with the requirements of finance, attempted to manoeuvre by proposing the introduction of provincial assemblies only and relegating the possibility of a national representation to the distant future. But he, too, was met by a formal refusal on the part of the King.

Flusty defines “interdictory spaces” as “spaces designed to intercept or repel or filter would-be users,” and his book is a critique of the increasing privatization of public space, exemplified by the rise of gated communities, the proliferation of militarized security systems, and the like. In his pithy Foreword, Kaliski positions Flusty’s thesis somewhere between Davis’s “noir vision of a totalizing ‘scanscape’” and Soja’s critique of a cynical city “scamscape.” Akin to Davis in both his radical politics and biting prose, Flusty outflanks Everyday Urbanism to the left in his portrayal of the contemporary city’s corporatized, “prickly” and “jittery” zones of exclusion and surveillance. More cool at the wheel, and less overtly political, Varnelis is concerned more with the mega-scale, though often invisible-seeming, “networked ecologies” that support contemporary metropolitan life — “a series of codependent systems of environmental mitigation, land-use organization, communication and service delivery,” as Varnelis says in his introduction. And even more than the Everyday Urbanists, both Flusty and Varnelis seem pointedly indifferent, if not hostile, to high design. Though each author can be read for his aesthetic fixations — Flusty includes haunting images of high-tech security cameras and paramilitary street features; Varnelis clearly enjoys decoding the stealthscapes of advanced capital formation, among them the false office building that conceals an oil derrick on Pico and Doheny, and the telecom hub of 1 Wilshire Boulevard (“this nondescript thirty-nine story skyscraper functions as the prime communications hub between Asia and the Western world”). Both authors argue that the dehumanizing — or at least post-humanist — residue of hyper-urbanization constitutes the most “meaningful” of new architectures.

With no sign of a BC version of L1O or PLSQ, a Canadian Premier League team in Victoria and/or Vancouver seems vital for BC to regain its role competing for the top province in the Men's game. It is slightly unfortunate that Toronto FC’s success has overshadowed other soccer positive stories in the country, although as with every year, there is great potential for the game in Canada and hundreds of soccer-based stories across the country that don't get the fair share of media that they deserve. The potential opportunities of a Canadian Premier League has put some of these stories more in the limelight and personally have increased the amount of effort I spend in evaluating Canadian talent. Highly successful grassroots soccer exists across the country. It is very Canadian and not primarily a product, as often reported, influenced from outside the country. The only major influence is that from the States because of MLS control of our soccer dollars and being our main option to play professionally. Hopefully a venture like the Canadian Premier League will allow us to regain control of the sport and create the pinnacle of the Canadian Soccer pyramid.

Especially in the Horizontal axis because of the shorter lever action (that's also the case on most new modules I've seen). It's always a tradeoff between binding and free movement.To combat this as effectively as possible I make and bin stick parts with a relatively large tolerance range for the sphere section. I then bin them accordingly and match them to the amount of wear on a typical case to ensure I get a tight and smooth feeling stick no matter how much wear is present on the salvaged case.So I think that's about it for now. I only just got through doing a first proper batch to verify my workflow and see if the overall refurb process would actually bear fruit......and it turned out better than expected.I'm now flooded in loads of perfectly tight joystick modules, even the "rejects" have found a permanent home in all my slightly worn but formerly "good" controllers. I'm quite delighted because I'm very picky about this stuff...That said I would love to get some feedback from others in the know and intend to get some samples out to prominent N64 speedrunners who really tax their equipment. Hopefully I can also interest a community member from here for a round of torture testing. For example I originally referenced forum member's excellent aftermarket tests so if he has time and would be interested in doing a test I'd be happy to send a module out.I'd also love to hear some feedback/thoughts from people who may have tried something similar.I quite enjoy building these so if anyone is interested in having one let me know, no solid plans yet on how, when, or how much (they're labour intensive so they won't be cheap!) but if you're interested let me know and I'll compile a list. Might also be up for doing a kickstarter or something along those lines if there is enough interest but I'm probably getting ahead of myself for now.Anyway, looking forward to hearing your thoughts.CheersLinus

I expect them to rise in the coming weeks and sadfully, an on curve golden sentinel or simmilar is something you are lacking answers for.For thematic purpose i want to mention the archer matchup. One could ask why, if everything explained by me is true, midrange archer arent everywhere or why i am not just playing one for the same reasons. First, they are coming, they are just still figuring out how to substitue soulrest marshall. But the biggest reason is that archer, while it is even more punishing against slow decks, is way worse against agressive decks then this list. And aggressive decks are still there, just not as restricting as before. The reason why this sorcerer list does better against aggro is the same why it is, oddly enough, favored against its brothers in concept. Shackle works.Merric is still an awsome and unnerfed deck. Batllemage players will even more shift towards it. However, just like sorcerer allways have been, this list is suited for the matchup. Just play it aggressive.Atromancer is not a tech, its part of the wincondition. This deck those not play the midrange-belly plus something. It consists almost entirely out of synergetic cards wich want to be drawn in th right order, no mammuths. It wont appreciate you rushing it.I know that on first sight, this list can look like any streamlined sorcerer these days, so i will give examples on how to tell them apart.High rock summoner:This used to be the dark rift slot. Its common knowledge why darkrift worked well and this deck appreciated how it pressured better than any other 2-drop. First i changed it for wind keep spellswords as a staple. But allthough its one of the best 2-drops, it turned out mediocre. The reason is, as i said, the deck is not working like common midrange. It wont curve from a 2 in a 3 in a... and then the spellsword is just decent, but often a dead draw against control. High rock summoner on the other hand is darkrift stuffed into a minion. The atronarches pressure the slow decks you want to punish and there is allways value when drawn. In the Eyes of 1-health battlemage minions and heirloom greatsword a body is a body.

NEW DELHI: It's been a month since the JNU row grabbed headlines. A lot has been written about it and the students who got charged with sedition . But very little light has been shed on ABVP's Saurabh Sharma, the JNUSU joint secretary who had called a section of the media to the university on February 9, and which had resulted in a student protest transforming into a national debate.Sharma not only broke the jinx for ABVP in JNUSU polls after nearly 15 years but he has also been quite vocal about what he calls "anti-national activities" on campus. Probably, he can't match Kanhaiya Kumar in oratory or Shehla Rashid Shora in popularity, but his teachers say he has organisational skills. Nevertheless, he has become quite unpopular among a section of the students.A teacher from the School of Social Sciences said, "With Shehla and Rama busy with movements like ‘occupy UGC' outside the campus and Kanhaiya not being very active, Sharma became the face of JNUSU and he managed it well. Not a very impressive speaker, but he realised the importance of grassroots engagement. To make a university event a talking point in the country is an achievement in itself. "Yet Sharma himself never imagined the issue will become so big, he said.An engineering graduate, he landed in JNU in 2012 to pursue MTech and is now pursuing a PhD in neuro science. A resident of Jhelum hostel, he comes from a small town in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. But he had no political affiliation till he stepped into JNU where he joined ABVP as he could "relate to their ideology".Sharma has a younger brother and sister and his father is a pharmacist. He used to work in the farm of his uncles. "Since I was good in studies, my uncles helped me by financing a part of my BTech," he said.He said Kanhaiya acts like a politician and had raised the slogan, "bandook ke nok pe lenge azadi (we will take freedom with guns)" at the February 9 event.Sharma even claimed that a pro-Afzal protester had also taken out a pistol.

Introduction Australia was one of the first countries to provide the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine free to young women through a national immunisation program. The program was initially promoted in terms of prevention of cervical cancer, as HPV types 16 and 18 are known to be the major aetiological agents to cervical cancer in around 70% of cases worldwide. [1], [2] However, the quadrivalent vaccine also protects against HPV types 6 and 11, the major causes of genital warts. [3]–[5] Genital warts cause distress in those patients affected by them[6] and have a substantial treatment cost. [7] In April 2007, the Australian Government introduced an ongoing free school-based program using the quadrivalent HPV vaccine (Types 6, 11, 16, 18) for girls aged 12–13 years and a two year catch-up program for girls aged 13–18 years in a two year catch-up. [8] In July 2007, a community-based catch-up program for women aged 18–26 years (inclusive) was initiated, with the HPV vaccine available free through general practitioners (GPs) and other primary health care services until December 2009. [9] The program has been very successful with the National HPV 3-dose vaccination coverage for all females turning 15 years of age ranging from 72.5% in 2007 to 70.9% in 2012. Similar coverage rates (between 70% and 72%) have been shown for females aged 16 to 17 years. Coverage was lower for the older populations, although it has been progressively increasing, from 39% in 2007 to 69% in 2012 for females aged 18 to 19 years and from 30% to 44% in females aged 20 to 26 years over the same period. [10] The quadrivalent HPV vaccine was also approved in Australia for older women (aged 27–45 years) and for males aged 9–26 years. However it was not subsidised for these groups and coverage has been estimated as very low; the coverage rate for senior high school boys (aged 15–17 years) was <5% in 2008 compared with >85% in girls of the same age. [11] In February 2013, the Australian Government extended the free ongoing school-based quadrivalent HPV vaccination program to include boys aged 12–13 years, with a two year catch-up program for boys aged 14–15 years. [12] Donovan al found that with the introduction of the HPV vaccination program in 2007, in sexual health clinics the rate of genital wart diagnosis decreased significantly and quickly among women who would have been covered by the program (those aged 12–26 years in 2007).

Background: Iron deficiency and poor linear growth are common in infants from deprived socioeconomic backgrounds and may be associated with inadequate complementary feeding (CF) practices. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that new CF guidelines emphasizing meat as a source of iron and zinc would improve linear growth, iron, and zinc status in infants living in poor socioeconomic circumstances in Bogota, Colombia. Design: A total of 85 term infants who were exclusively breastfed for ≥4 mo were randomly assigned at 6 mo of age to a control group [CG (n = 43); current advice] or intervention group (new guidelines group [NGG (n = 42); with counseling to 1) continue breastfeeding, 2) offer red meat ≥3 d/wk, and 3) offer fruit and vegetables daily]). Main outcomes were 1) linear growth from 6 to 12 mo of age; 2) hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron [serum ferritin (SF)], and zinc status at 12 mo of age; and 3) meat intake at 12 mo of age (by using a food-frequency questionnaire). Results: A total of 38 infants/group provided data at 12 mo of age. NGG infants had significantly higher red meat intake [mean ± SD: 5.4 ± 1.8 compared with 3.5 ± 1.7 d/wk at 12 mo of age; P < 0.001), higher hemoglobin and hematocrit at 12 mo of age, and a significantly greater increase in hemoglobin (mean ± SD change: 0.41 ± 0.8 compared with −0.13 ± 1.0; P = 0.01) and hematocrit (1.04 ± 2.2 compared with −0.15 ± 2.4; P = 0.03) from 6 to 12 mo of age than those in CG infants. There were no significant differences in linear growth from 6 to 12 mo of age or in SF or zinc. Conclusions: The new guidelines showed efficacy with higher red meat intake and positive effects on hemoglobin and hematocrit. The intervention was acceptable and affordable for most mothers. These preliminary results suggest that the intervention merits investigation in a larger cohort with longer-term follow-up. This trial was registered at http://isrctn.org as ISRCTN57733004.

[94] America's closest Arab ally, Saudi Arabia, was just as fundamentally opposed to the Hashemite-dominated Baghdad Pact as Egypt, and the U.S. was keen to increase its own influence in the region. [95] The failure of the Baghdad Pact aided such a goal by reducing Britain's dominance over the region. "Great Britain would have preferred to overthrow Nasser; America, however uncomfortable with the 'Czech arms deal', thought it wiser to propitiate him. "[96] U.S and the Aswan High Dam On 16 May 1956, Nasser officially recognised the People's Republic of China, which angered the U.S. and Secretary Dulles, a sponsor of the Republic of China. [89] This move, coupled with the impression that the project was beyond Egypt's economic capabilities, caused Eisenhower to withdraw all American financial aid for the Aswan Dam project on 19 July. [89] The Eisenhower administration believed that if Nasser were able to secure Soviet economic support for the high dam, that would be beyond the capacity of the Soviet Union to support, and in turn would strain Soviet-Egyptian relations. [97] Eisenhower wrote in March 1956 that "If Egypt finds herself thus isolated from the rest of the Arab world, and with no ally in sight except Soviet Russia, she would very quickly get sick of the prospect and would join us in the search for a just and decent peace in the region". [97] Dulles told his brother, CIA director Allen Dulles, "If they [the Soviets] do make this offer we can make a lot of use of it in propaganda within the satellite bloc. You don't get bread because you are being squeezed to build a dam". [97] Finally, the Eisenhower administration had become very annoyed at Nasser's efforts to play the United States off against the Soviet Union, and refused to finance the Aswan high dam. As early as September 1955, when Nasser announced the purchase of the Soviet military equipment via Czechoslovakia, Dulles had written that competing for Nasser's favour was probably going to be "an expensive process", one that Dulles wanted to avoid as much as possible.

The air is rushing by about force five and colder by the minute. "We have our raincoats," the girl adds cheerfully. Well, okay, ladies. We dangerous males retire inside the damp cabin. Through the wind I hear the women laugh softly now and then, apparently cozy in their chilly ibis roost. A private insanity, I decide. I know myself for the least threatening of men; my noncharisma has been in fact an asset jobwise, over the years. Are they having fantasies about Estéban? Or maybe they really are fresh-air nuts. Sleep comes for me in invisible diesels roaring by on the reef outside.

Another leader in the eye of the storm is psephologist Yogendra Yadav who co-authored the charter of demands for AAP with Prashant Bhushan and is now the target of AAP ire. AAP wants the two leaders out for their dissenting views on various subjects.The note authored by the two asks for: the setting up of an internal ethics committee, a probe into cheques of over 50 lacs received in the form of donations by the party, allowing state units of AAP to work on strategy rather than have Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and the rest make decisions for them, record minutes of national executive meetings and the PAC and make it public to the aam aadmi.What has been seen as the last straw in the deepening rift between Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan and the others is an unofficial executive meeting that took place a day after the national executive of the party met on February 26.On February 26, Kejriwal had offered to resign as national convenor, which was then rejected. It was followed by a decision which according to those close to Bhushan was taken by the coterie that surrounds Kejriwal, allowing the latter to reconstitute the PAC, paving the way for the exit of Yadav and Bhushan from political decision-making processes.As a left leaning intellectual close to Prashant added, "Isn't this the cult culture we as a party stood vehemently against? If the likes of Sisodia and Sanjay Singh like to reap political benefits by lending a cult image to Arvind Kejriwal and make it an autocratic party which suffocates dissenting voices and opinions, then this must be the beginning of the decline of the AAP and everything that it stood for. "While the success story of AAP might continue unabated with both the Left and Congress in an abysmal disarray in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal needs to shed the autocratic image that he has refused to detach himself from. His party enjoys the reputation of a socialist image whose beauty lies in the pluralism of views and ideas, not just of its leaders but also of the aam aadmi. If Arvind wants the AAP to be a party with a difference, he needs to apply the same logic of propriety that he expects from other political parties and alleged crony capitalists. Let Arvind Kejriwal not be the prototype of the political leader George Bernard Shaw described as, "he knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything.

If some specific s' was in a , it would be only valid if I set my s to that s' , and no other s ). Thus, you simply add a phantom type variable s to any datatype you don't want smuggled out of your monad, and the type system will do the rest. Monadic regions builds on this basic concept, giving it composability (region polymorphism). newtype LockedMonad i a = LockedMonad { unLockedMonad :: ReaderT Env IO a } deriving (MonadReader Env, Monad, Functor) runLockedMonad :: (forall i. LockedMonad i a) -> IO a runLockedMonad m = runReaderT (unLockedMonad m) =<< newEnv data LockedData i a = LockedData a
