Still, putting "human diversity" above all else seems... too human-centric, isn't it? That's a very interesting point, thank you for highlighting it George Ho: libre knowledge. Clearly, any editorial guideline will come with a set of basic assumptions which give a general shape and bias regarding "what matter". For example we use the antonomastic formulation Pythagorean theorem. This is (at least in the western tradition) how it's named generally. Thus said, like any antonomasia, this term create more obfuscation (as it doesn't give any clue about its topic), while introducing a huge distortion of it's discovery in history (attestations of other far earlier proofs exist). Also, this might be interpreted as a way to firmly subsume an anthropocentric ontological status of mathematical knowledge. The anthropocentric Promethean cult is omnipresent in scientific knowledge fields, and while you might use commutative group rather than abelian group, it's harder to bypass something like the fact that the International System of Units use the term newton to name its unit of force (though it's not a base unit). One might come easily with general rule to avoid such a practice to bias so hugely knowledge we spread, like stating that a the main term used in an article to name its topic should never an antonomasia (except for biographies obviously), and that this kind of relation should be restrained in a dedicated and maybe enumerated in the chapeau of the article along other known used terms. But surely such a rule would accouter huge disagreement and would be rejected as POV (ironically) and original research (far more defensible). Now on a maybe less controversial topic, I think we should also improve the way people can be served with relevant information with non-text-based requests. That is, one go for a walk, see a tree, and wonder what knownledg is accessible about this tree within Wikimedia projects. Its envisionable that such a person would take a picture of the tree, and send it to some Wikimedia search service which would reply with information about this tree. Now, should Wikimedia projects keep information about individual trees, or only limit its knowledge to "abstract tree" and reply with things like taxonomic name, life expectancy, average size, and so on. Because the sum of all (gatherable) knowledge would direct us to the first option.
Planning the future of one's own press requires thinking systematically, with awareness of the complex interconnections and conflicts between the demands of the tenure-and-promotion process within universities, which presses are inevitably entangled with, and the demands of the marketplace, which presses must heed if they are to survive as fully or partially self- supporting enterprises. Training in philosophy gives one this wider vision and an appreciation for systemic complexity. Copyright law, which undergirds all publishing, is a good example of one application of systematic thought. The debates raging now over how "fair use" should apply in our new era of electronic communications show well how errors can easily be made by focusing too narrowly on one element of the system of scholarly communication and being oblivious to the bigger picture. This is a subject in which I early took special interest, becoming a member in the early 1970s of the copyright committees of two publishing trade associations (one of which I now chair) and later a member of the board of directors of the Copyright Clearance Center, which was established in 1978 when the Copyright Act of 1976 went into effect. Copyright has been justly called "the metaphysics of the law." What better training, then, could one have to develop some expertise in it than philosophy? Publishing, I conclude after more than a quarter-century in the business, offers a hospitable environment for philosophers, whose skills can find ready application perhaps especially in editorial departments. For anyone interested in exploring a career in this profession, I would highly recommend attending one of the summer institutes that offer an intensive exposure to the business of publishing, those at the University of Denver and at Radcliffe being the best by common acclaim. I can't say that taking such a course is absolutely necessary -- as I just leapt into the business myself without any such prior introduction -- but the networking that comes through these institutions can only help newcomers get their feet in the door, which is not always an easy task as there are always many more applicants than there are jobs available. Return to the table of contents The responses to the questionnaire Respondents were asked to provide their name and where they worked, their employer, job title and principal duties, the non-philosophical background pertinent to their job, how they obtained their job, and the personal characteristics and philosophical skills they use in their job, and further comments.
Team blog Hot Time In Old Town Frank Yallop14-13-7, 6th in the EastLovel Palmer, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Patrick Ianni, Harrison Shipp, Benji Joya (loan), Chris Ritter, Marco FrancoJalil Anibaba, Austin Berry, Egidio Arevalo Rios, Joel Lindpere, Daniel Paladini, Wells Thompson 2013 was a year of too little, too late for the Fire. After a horrible start — they won just two of their first 11 matches — they managed to recover to the point that they reached the season's final weekend in control of their own destiny. Unfortunately, a defeat in the finale caused them to lose out in a tiebreaker with the Impact. That loss apparently sealed head coach Frank Klopas’ fate, and he was ultimately replaced by Frank Yallop during the offseason. Yallop immediately engaged in a rebuild, mostly focusing on a back line that was tied for the third most goals conceded (52) in MLS last season. But are Lovel Palmer and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado really that much of an improvement over Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry? They hardly seem to be a clear-cut upgrade on their predecessors. Even if they are, the Fire simply have to get better elsewhere. Mike Magee is not going to match his astonishing 2013 — 21 goals last campaign is the same number as he scored in the previous seven combined — and the Fire have to find a way to mitigate his expected drop in production. If they don't, this could very well be another rebuilding season. Best Off-Season Move The Fire were one of only three teams to enter a special lottery for Benji Joya’s rights. Since his arrival, the former USA Under-20 captain — still only 20 years old — has made a strong case for a starting spot in the center of midfield. Joya’s vibrancy and determination could be part of the Chicago midfield for years to come. Reasons to be worried There are teams in every league that mind their pennies, but in an offseason where several clubs swung for the fences, the Fire have gone small-ball, trying to bunt their way to success. If it works — if the affordable roster built around youth plays well — we’ll see this as a turning point year for Chicago. But it’s not hard to imagine a scenario where there are a couple of injuries, the youngsters don’t produce, and there are no wise older hands to help bail the team out of a mess.
With Icahn, they seem to be trying to invent a kind of Guantánamo Bay situation, in which you’re simultaneously both and neither.” Norm Eisen, who served as Obama’s Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform, argues that Icahn is “not just an outside kibbitzer” but a formal adviser who should be subject to constraints. “He gets a title,” Eisen said. “He gets a broad policy portfolio. He’s involved in personnel decisions, in policy discussions. To me, all of that adds up to him being a Special Government Employee.” The blitheness with which Icahn and the Trump White House sidestepped the federal requirements is evidence, Eisen contends, that “this is a lawless Administration.” Immediately after Icahn’s appointment was announced, shares in Icahn Enterprises surged. Forbes estimated that his stake in the company rose in value from $6.8 billion to $7.3 billion—an increase of five hundred and ten million dollars, in a day.
It’s more willing to share pricing: Erika Wagner said that most science payloads will cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to fly on a suborbital flight. The cost is even lower for educational payloads. “We’ve driven that down as far as we can,” to as low as $5,300. That’s less, she noted, than it typically costs a high school to buy new football uniforms. “Literally, any K-through-12 institution that can afford new football uniforms for their team can have a space program.” And if school districts and booster clubs can lead, perhaps philanthropists can follow. Alex MacDonald, a NASA economist and author of a new book on private funding of space science and technology endeavors prior to the start of the Space Age (see “Review: The Long Space Age”, The Space Review, April 24, 2017), welcomed the increased interest in private funding of space science missions, even while noting that, for now, the interest isn’t yet there to fund large-scale missions. He also didn’t see private funding in competition with the space agency. “Today, we’re in a phase now where it’s safe to say that it’s going to continue to be a mix of both [private and government funding] for the foreseeable future,” he said. “We at NASA are happy to see the rise of these capabilities.” Home
According to research conducted previously, this reduction in math test scores could translate into a reduction in future wages by as much as 2 percent for those not going on to college. In a second NBER study, data from the fourth follow-up wave of the same NELS is used to explore the causal relationship between marijuana use during tenth and twelfth grade and the number of years of schooling completed in 2000, when most of the respondents were 26 years old. (14)3 The study uses two alternative methods to deal with the probable association between marijuana use and unobserved factors influencing educational attainment; the results from both models suggest that marijuana use in the tenth grade does indeed decrease educational attainment. The author notes that the negative impact of marijuana use in the tenthgrade on educational attainment is similar in magnitude to the effect of living in a single parent family or living in a family with an income in the lowest quartile. Marijuana and Crime A unique problem exists when we try to consider marijuana's involvement in crime. Objective measures of marijuana use (for example, urinalysis) identify use over an extended period of time, not necessarily use at the time of the offence, and are therefore likely to overstate an association between marijuana and crime, while self-reported measures are likely to understate the association because of underreporting. In an NBER Working Paper, I consider the implication of these measurement problems by using several different objective and subjective measures of marijuana use collected from a sample of arrestees drawn from the 1996-99 Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) data. (15)4 Use measures determined by 1) a positive urine test, 2) self-reported use in the past thirty-days, 3) self-reported use within 72 hours of the offence, 4) self-reported intoxication from marijuana at the time of the offence, and 5) marijuana price each were associated with the probability of being arrested for a non-drug involved violent, property and income-producing crime. Results from these analyses demonstrated that statistical associations between marijuana use and specific crimes were extremely sensitive to how marijuana use was measured. More proximal measures of use were generally negatively associated with violent crime but positively associated with property and income-producing crime. Reduced-form models suggested that the negative association between marijuana use and violent crime was spurious while the positive associations between marijuana use and property and income-producing crime could be causal in nature.
In this instance, neoteny is present because there is no need for the males to molt early and it would be a waste of energy for them to try to mate while the females are still immature.

And lastly, OOP != Java/C#/C++ I deliberately tried to steer away from any particular programming language, but if you received the expression that I'm talking about those three, my apologies. The concerns I have about OOP goes beyond single versus multiple inheritance, static versus "dynamic" typing, calling methods versus sending messages, etc. The point was not to compare programming languages, but to explain why the means of abstraction and combination in pure object-oriented thinking do not appeal to me in general. FP is a much deeper mindset which goes beyond just "functions as data". I should know, having been a FP fanatic... My "functions are modules" argument doesn't mean first class functions or doesn't even presuppose functional programming. What I mean by "passing modules as arguments" is trying to be a generalization of what you can do in different programming languages. It might be implemented as being able to pass function pointers (C); or function names (ALGOL); or function references (Pascal). It might be implemented as passing closures (e.g. Scheme, Haskell, Perl, and too many languages to list); or passing objects; or doing something exotic. The point is that you can parameterize what code does as well as which state it starts the computation from ("non-module" parameters such as numbers and strings). And as for efficiency, let the compiler writers worry about that But it's not even a concern for me... To me, a programming language is foremost a notation with which and in which to express ideas, usually algorithms. That we have machines that can use text written in the notation to do something is just a bonus. (Rather nice bonus, I must say.) This stand is partially hypochritical, but I can live with it. If I am worried about pervasive OO thinking in Perl 6, it's because frequently I don't want to think in terms of objects. There are no "efficiency" worries -- I already know there are efficient implementations for message-passing, delegation, virtual function tables, and what-have-you that goes with implementing these things. Just take a look at C++ or OCaml. The concept of roles resembles Objective-C protocols, though with being able to define not only which functions the implementing class needs to provide but also some common functions that all classes implementing the role "inherit". However, this would again be a much more useful technique to think about if there was no mandatory link to objects and classes! (That's just me.)

She was deciding between two outfits to wear that night on her date: it was either going to be a black minidress from Brandy Melville or a short white skirt and black tank top from Urban Outfitters. She was hanging the outfits on her bedroom door so she could get a better look, standing back, regarding them. “Like, there was a party for the private schools on a boat and all these girls were wearing cutout dresses, dresses with random cutouts,” she went on, “like a belly cutout to show your bellybutton; you’ll even see, like, 12-year-olds wearing these things. They were wearing, like, the shortest skirts. Like why do their moms let them go out like that?” She decided that in order to make a decision on what outfit to wear she would have to put on both and text pictures of herself in them to Priya, to get a second opinion. She went into her bathroom and came out wearing the short white skirt and black tank top. “How’s this?” she asked, turning around to look at herself in her bedroom mirror. “Do you think this is, like, a date outfit or do you think it looks too casual?” I asked her if she thought it could be an example of the very thing she was just talking about, clothing that was sexualizing. “Well, I don’t feel compelled to go out naked,” she said, “but when you see every girl dressing sexy you do feel compelled to do it, too. The media like completely oversexualizes everyone now—in every magazine you see everyone in some sexy outfit. That’s just what we’re shown, and what we’re shown is what we do. A lot of girls my age look up to these older girls in the media who wear all these sexy things—basically anyone you see in a magazine, all the big movie stars. Everyone loves Mila Kunis. Rihanna. I mean I would say Miley Cyrus, but it’s kind of controversial. A bunch of people are like, ‘Go, Miley,’ and a bunch of people are like ‘No, Miley.’” She laughed. “The people who support Miley love her because she’s being her own person now, and good for Miley for that. But Miley’s own person is not what some people would like her to be—and some people consider her a role model.
“I hope that the message is taken and nobody will ever dare to violate our borders.”The brief statement of the Turkish Armed Forces, on the other hand, said it shot down an aircraft, without specifying its type, and noted that its pieces fell onto the Syrian side of the border.The May 16 incident was not the first time that the two countries’ air forces have engaged militarily.A Turkish F-4 Phantom warplane crashed into the Mediterranean on June 22, 2012, after being shot down by Syria.On Sept 16, 2013, the Turkish Air Force shot down a Syrian helicopter at the border after it reportedly violated Turkey’s airspace.Turkish fighter jets also downed a Syrian jet on March 23, 2014, after it crossed into Turkish airspace, a week before local elections.Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) Secretary General Gürsel Tekin had claimed earlier this month that Turkey was planning to launch a military operation in Syria ahead of the June 7 general elections.Turkish government officials strictly denied the claim last week.NATO member Turkey has a 900-km (560-mile) border with Syria and has been outspoken in its hostility to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.Al-Assad has said Turkish support was a key factor in helping militant Islamist insurgents seize the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib earlier this year.Turkey denied that allegation and any suggestion it has delivered arms to Islamist militants fighting to overthrow al-Assad.
It may not have been you at all.Nobody is probing you about your genitals, so please offer the trans and non-binary people in your life the same courtesy. Not everyone wants surgery, can access it, or is a healthy candidate to undergo it. Likewise, try not to ask with whom or how we have relations. Trans people can and do have amazing sex and intimacy, with any combination of bits between themselves and their partner(s). Transgender individuals, like the rest of humanity, can be monogamous or polyamorous, and be sexually attracted to the same gender, differing genders, or nobody at all.Look out for places where your everyday language implies cisgender and straight norms. If a female relative announces her engagement, for example, instead of asking, “Who’s the lucky guy?” try “Who’s the lucky person?”Gift-giving in a gender-expansive world deserves its own discussion, but Thanksgiving itself is increasingly materialistic. Nobody likes waiting to unwrap their Black Friday loot. Expressing masculinity doesn’t necessarily mean playing football and video games, nor does femininity imply loving lipstick and scented candles. The point of gifting is getting to know your loved ones better, not how much you spend, so don’t default to norms in either direction.For kids and teens, I can’t endorse Classic Legos enough. Take it from an obsessed little boy who grew into a woman with an engineering degree. Legos are for all genders , and need no screens or batteries. Consider a good winter coat. People who transition often build their wardrobes gradually, but investing in gender-affirming outerwear often comes last. When I still only owned men’s coats, it felt invalidating to wear one over female attire. Winter became a barrier to expressing Hannah at all. Turn the coat concept into a shopping day with all your self-identified gals, guys, or everyone. Include us, and stand beside us in whichever aisle we choose, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Solidarity means more than anything money can buy.Ask your trans or non-binary loved one if a friend needs an invitation this season. On November 20, the queer and allied community marked the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance to name and remember more than 20 murders and just as many suicides reported in the U.S. this year, disproportionately of trans people of color.
> > Though Dutch radicals did not begin calling themselves \"Autonomen\" until around 1986, earlier Dutch counterculture activists shared tactics, organizing structures and militancy with self-proclaimed autonomists. Holland\'s squatting movement really got started around 1968, and by 1981 more then 10,000 houses and apartments were squatted in Amsterdam, and there were around 15,000 squats in the rest of Holland. Squatted restaurants, bars, cafes, and information centers were commonplace, and the organized squatters (usually referred to as \"kraakers\") had their own council to plan the movement\'s direction and their own newsradio station. (3) > > Although some Dutch autonomists rejected wearing ski masks while in Black Bloc(4), the movement was no less militant. One book about the Dutch squatters movement reports that \"Ever since the beginning there had been a \'black helmet brigade\' which felt it had joined battle with municipal social democracy.\"(5) > > Battles at the evictions of Amsterdam squats often featured the construction of huge barricades and walled-in squatters tossing furniture and other projectiles of all shapes and sizes out the window at riot police below. In the early years there were certain limits to the violence which Dutch squatters would use to retaliate against police attacks. However in 1985 when a squatter named Hans Kok died in police custody after being arrested during a particularly brutal raid and eviction, the ante was upped. Following the news of his death a night of fiery destruction reigned in Amsterdam, with even police cars set on fire in front of many different precincts. Said one squatter: \"Everyone had the idea, now we\'ll use the ultimate means, just before guns anyway: mollies...Everyone went around with mollies in their pockets, everyone had full gasoline cans...it was the new action method.\"(6) Though Hans Kok\'s death and the fiery retribution that followed had a negative effect on! > the popular squatters\' movement, the new militancy of tactics proved useful in some activist circles. In 1985 the Dutch Anti-Racist Action Group (RARA) mounted a successful campaign to force the Dutch supermarket chain MARKO to divest from South Africa: the campaign was accomplished through a series of extremely expensive and damaging firebombings of MARKO\'s stores and offices.
The decision surrounding HB 757 has generated more intense feelings that most legislation, perhaps because it has highlighted the concerns of many in our religious communities regarding the actions of federal courts, especially the United States Supreme Court in its 5-4 opinion last summer which legalized same sex marriage. (Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. ____(2015)). HB 757 enumerates certain actions that religious leaders, faith-based organizations and people of faith shall not be required to take or perform. These include solemnizing a marriage, attending such marriages, hiring church personnel or renting church property when such acts would be contrary to their sincerely held religious beliefs. While most people would agree that government should not force such actions, there has not been a single instance of such taking place in Georgia. If there has been any case of this type in our state it has not been called to my attention. The examples being cited by the proponents of this bill have occurred in other states that have very different laws than Georgia. One example that is used is the photographer in New Mexico who refused to photograph a same sex marriage (Elane Photography, LLC v. Willock, 309 P. 3d53 (2013)). That state has a Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but it was not applicable. It was the New Mexico Human Rights Act that determined the results in that case. Georgia does not have a Human Rights Act. The second case that is cited is that of the bakery in Colorado that refused to bake a wedding cake for a same sex couple. There the court ruling was based on Colorado's Public Accommodation Act which prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation (Craig v. Masterpiece Cakeshop, Inc. ____ P 3d_(2015)). Georgia does not have a Public Accommodation Act. Therefore, as I have examined the protections this bill seeks to provide to religious organizations and people of faith I can find no examples that any of the things this bill seeks to protect us against have ever occurred in Georgia. It is also apparent that the cases being cited from other states occurred because those state had passed statues that specifically protected their citizens from adverse actions based on their sexual orientation. Georgia has no such statues. HB 757 appeared in several forms during the recent session of the Georgia General Assembly. I had no objection to the "Pastor Protection Act" that was passed by the House of Representatives.

However, this non-soreness-inducing quality can actually be of benefit, as we often want to avoid it with in-season athletes or those trying to achieve a higher volume of work in their training programs. This is actually a perk of several deadlift variations, too. 7. Hip thrusts are a safe way to get in higher-rep sets. In the quest to put on some muscle, high-rep squatting and deadlifting often wind up getting pretty ugly by the end of the sets unless they're regressed in some fashion (e.g., goblet squats). And, on a personal note, any time that I deadlift for more than eight reps, I get a massive headache that lasts about three days. I've found that higher rep barbell supine bridge (moreso than hip thrusts) are a good option for sets of 12-15 at the end of a session to kick in some extra volume safely. It's pretty darn hard to screw this up, you know? Thoughts on Loading On several occasions, I've heard folks criticize barbell hip thrusts and supine bridges because even seemingly untrained individuals can use so much weight. It's a valid assertion - but only to a point. My experience has been that many individuals moving big weights are really short-changing themselves on the last 5-10 degrees of hip extension. They're either stopping short or getting lumbar extension (moving through the lower back). Often, when you fine-tune the technique and make them hold for a count at the top, they'll have to reduce the weight significantly. As a rule of thumb, though, I view the risk:benefit ratio with hip thrusts as being comparable to that of deadlifts in an athletic population; going heavier than 495 pounds probably isn't worth the risk or time involved. You're better off changing the tempo (longer pauses at the top) or switching to a different (and possibly more technically advanced) exercise that doesn't "come naturally" to the lifter. In short, find a different window of adaptation instead of just trying to move big weights through a short range-of-motion. As an interesting aside to this, my deadlifts are actually significantly stronger than my hip thrusts. It's likely a function of "getting what you train," but I think it's an interesting argument against the idea that even weak people can automatically move big weights.
Piers Plowman could have appealed to monks trained in glossing and ploughing, particularly at a place such as Castle Acre, William Sporle’s home institution, which, as so many religious houses, was founded on the basis of carucates, the amount of land cultivated by one plough in a year and a day.93 (A monk of this priory might have been reminded by the relevance of Piers Plowman and the Ploughing of the Half-Acre: Castle Acre, which was also called Eastacre, shared ‘Acre’ with nearby West Acre and South Acre.) The priory was a significant Cluniac house, with a number of books in its library, including material relevant to glossing, such as works by Paschasius Radbertus and Gilbert of Auxerre.94 It is also possible that the lavish Yale Psalter, Beinecke MS 417, was produced for Castle Acre or for Thetford priory, another nearby Cluniac House.95 Just as important is the fact that Bromholm Priory, which supposedly held a part of the Cross, and which is invoked in Piers Plowman (A.5.145, B.5.229), was a dependency of Castle Acre, with which it was in dispute about the fragment. Norfolk figures prominently in the poem: in addition to the reference to Bromholm, there is the Walsingham pilgrimage (A.5.144, B.5.228); Greed’s admission that he does not speak French since he is from ‘þe ferþest ende of Northfolk’ (B.5.239); and the use of Norfolk dialect: ‘so thee ik’ (A.5.142, only in one manuscript; B.5.226). To this can be added further Norfolk references specific to Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 851 (once regarded as the ‘Z Version’).96 The C Version, however, misses all Norfolk references, which are limited to A and B, with B being the only version to include the reference to French and Norfolk, in B.5.239. In her recent study of the B-Version copy Huntington MS 114, Sarah Wood draws attention to the ‘Norfolk humour otherwise only present in B’, which is extended by Bodley 851.97 Whereas some of these instances could be considered to be ‘Norfolk humour’, not unlike Chaucer’s ‘hooly croys of Bromeholm’, in his argument for a Norfolk provenance of some Piers Plowman manuscripts Simon Horobin perceptively notes that ‘such jokes would surely lose their impact in Oxford’, and that they may therefore more probably, though not necessarily, imply an audience or readership in or near Norfolk.98 Furthermore, Andrew Galloway reminds us of the long-standing tradition, in particular in Norfolk, of depicting plowmen in religious contexts.99
whole world. The most effectual reasons that they produce to prove the Earth's stability in the middle or lowest part of the world, is that of Gravity and Levity. For of all other the Element of the earth (say they) is most heavy, and all ponderous things are carried unto it, striving, as it were, to sway even down to the inmost part thereof. For the earth being round, into the which all weighty things an every side fall, making right angles on the superficies, [note 15: Surface.] must needs if they were not stayed on the superficies pass to the Center, seeing every right line the falleth perpendicularly upon the Horizon, in that place where it toucheth the earth must needs passe by the Center. And those things that are carried toward that Medium, it is likely that there also they would rest. So much therefore, the rather shall the Earth rest in the middle, and (receiving all things into itself that fall) by his own weight shall be most immoveable. Again, they seek to prove it by reason of motion and his nature, for of one and the same simple body, the motion must also be simple, saith Aristotle. Of simple motions there are two kinds: Right and Circular. Right are either up or down-so that every simple motion is either downward towards the Center, or upward from the Center -- or Circular -- about the Center. Now unto the earth and water, in respect of their weight, the motion downward is convenient to seek the Center. To air and fire, in regard of their lightness, upward and from the Center. So it is mete to these elements to attribute the right or straight motion, and to the heavens only it is proper circularly about this mean or Center to be turned round. Thus much Aristotle. If therefore, saith Ptolemy of Alexandria, the earth should turn but only by the daily motion, things quite contrary to these should happen. For his motion should be most swift and violent that, in 24 hours, should let passe the whole circuit of the earth, and those things which by sudden turning are stirred, are altogether unmeet to collect, but rather to disperse things united, unless they should by some firm fastening be kept together.
Following a turnover-on-downs by the Engineers on the next series, Dan Serignese (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) hit Johnson from 58 yards on the next play, the first of the second quarter, and Buffalo State led 13-3.RPI, which is now 9-2 all-time in ECAC Bowl Games, came out in the second half and went 70 yards on 14 plays, including a fake punt for a first down, for a touchdown that cut the deficit to 13-10. Seniorfinished the drive with a three-yard touchdown run. Capp tied the game with a 24-yard field goal with 8:55 to go in the fourth quarter and Amery completed the game-winning drive, which took five plays and 44 yards, with his third rushing touchdown of the season.Schlatz led the Engineers running game with 69 yards on 19 carries. Classmate(White Plains, N.Y.), the Liberty League Co-Offensive Performer of the Year, completed 22 of 37 passes for 252 yards. He was intercepted once and concluded the year with 20 touchdown passes and two interceptions. Senior(Hanover, Mass.) caught six passes for 63 yards while running three times for 20 yards.Johnson led the Bengals offense with two receptions for 68 yards and his 13-yard rush. Dale Stewart (Niagara Falls, N.Y.) had 50 yards on the ground on 15 carries. Serignese completed 12 of 28 passes for 115 yards. Shaq Frederick (Brooklyn, N.Y.) led the defense with 15 tackles, including seven unassisted and one for a loss (4 yards). He also recovered a fumble with a 10-yard return.
Dr Cameron believes that parts of the outback offer both. Yet Amy Lauder faces a barrage of criticism from environmentalists and fellow Aborigines, who believe that a waste dump would defile their sacred land. Ancient bond Kath Martin, another Aboriginal elder, lives at the foot of a hill range just north of Alice Springs. Her home is close to another site which has been earmarked for the dump - "the track of old kangaroo legends," as she described it. There could be contamination - they can't tell me that's not a possibility
Scowcroft “earned the award the old-fashioned way,” Bush wrote me. “He slept and slept in trying situations.” One reason that Scowcroft was so effective as national-security adviser was that the entire Cabinet knew that hearing from him was akin to hearing from the President. David Rothkopf, the author of “Running the World,” a history of the National Security Council, said that Scowcroft mastered the bureaucracy while maintaining his position as perhaps the President’s closest adviser. He was “a true partner of the President,” Rothkopf said. “They knew each other extremely well, and were able to communicate at the level of equals, even if the President’s primacy was never in doubt.” Even today, Scowcroft, who lives in Bethesda, Maryland, spends many weekends at a condominium he keeps in Kennebunkport, near the Bush family compound. According to friends of the elder Bush, the estrangement of his son and his best friend has been an abiding source of unhappiness, not only for Bush but for Barbara Bush as well. George Bush, the forty-first President, has tried several times to arrange meetings between his son, “Forty-three,” and his former national-security adviser—to no avail, according to people with knowledge of these intertwined relationships. “There have been occasions when Forty-one has engineered meetings in which Forty-three and Scowcroft are in the same place at the same time, but they were social settings that weren’t conducive to talking about substantive issues,” a Scowcroft confidant said. Scowcroft would not talk to me about the father’s attempts at reconciliation, but he said that he hoped for a better relationship with the son. “Am I happy at not being closer to the White House? No. I would prefer to be closer. I like George Bush personally, and he is the son of a man I’m just crazy about.” When I asked Scowcroft if the son was different from the father, he said, “I don’t want to go there,” but his dissatisfaction with the son’s agenda could not have been clearer. When I asked him to name issues on which he agrees with the younger Bush, he said, “Afghanistan.” He paused for twelve seconds. Finally, he said, “I think we’re doing well on Europe,” and left it at that. The disintegrating relationship between Scowcroft and Condoleezza Rice has not escaped the notice of their colleagues from the first Bush Administration.

The original lead has several merits, including 1) being the right length and number of paragraphs 2) having been fully reviewed 3) actually summarizing the article 4) not wandering off the subject of evolution itself onto side issues. "Long and complex" would be splendid if it matched the subject, but it doesn't. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:33, 16 December 2017 (UTC) I agree with Chiswick. But I have to admit I can't understand Nick's explanation. Complex subjects deserve careful writing if possible, not complex writing? Complexity of style, and long length, are basically never something aimed at for their own sake?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:43, 16 December 2017 (UTC) To be more specific, trying to make discussion practical, could I suggest critics of the original version give details about which specific things need to be more complex or long?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:45, 16 December 2017 (UTC) (edit conflict) I remain implacably opposed to this broad brush approach to revision of the article lead. As stated earlier, it is my contention that revision should be done in small steps and fully discussed before being implemented at each step. I remain completely suspicious of attempts to sweep away the current lead for some other version that omits a great deal of relevant information. If you think some aspect of the current lead is not required, please elucidate that point and we can have a discussion about it. As I said before, there is no deadline here, we can and should take our time to get this right. - Nick Thorne talk 15:51, 16 December 2017 (UTC) Please read what has already been said, and keep the rhetoric under control please. I have been plain and clear on what's wrong and why the other version is better, see my comments above. At risk of repetition, para 5 "Consequences of selection" is about natural selection and more specialised topics, with some waffle about what scientists continue to do; para 6 "All life on earth" is about the Last universal common ancestor, not evolution at all; para 7 "In terms of practical application" isn't about much at all once the pompous phrasing (all that "significant impact" and "instrumental to developments" - we shouldn't be writing like that) is discounted: at most, applications might get one sentence in the lead. There is no prohibition against changes of any size when articles have gone astray, as the lead of this article certainly has.

He is right.However, Lapid’s test will not be in his ability to manage political situations, even ones as complex as the current fiscal mess, but in his ability to undo historic deformities and in his willingness to lock horns and cross swords with vested interests, from the big unions and their perks and tenures to Big Business and its tax breaks and favored regulations.By August this budget will become law, after undergoing some more alterations at the legislature. The markets will likely calm by then, a trend that was actually evident already this week as the shekel returned to appreciation, in fact excessively, a clear sign that traders believe Israel has already returned to its fiscal senses and its currency is a good thing to buy.The question is whether the same acquiescence will take hold of the streets where, as Lapid surely recalls, his own constituents so recently displayed a kind of power and resolve few realized they possessed. In this regard, Lapid’s budget is poorly timed, because it comes between summer and spring, when protesters are prone to take to the streets and also stay there.As of now, it seems that Lapid secured his left flank by placating the unions, and his right flank by avoiding war with Big Business, but neglected his own troops, the middle class, where mutiny might erupt and render his hard-earned cease-fires elsewhere irrelevant.But even if this budget’s victims do not erupt, Lapid has no political choice but to quickly show his passengers the horizon that sprawls beyond the current storm – and unveiling the horizon will also hardly suffice.Once the fiscal storm subsides and visibility returns, his task will be to sail to that horizon, quickly and on an even keel. And the more the horizon will approach, the more its inhabitants’ battle cries will become audible and their flailing swords visible.Once eye-to-eye with them, Lapid will have no choice but to do what he has so far avoided: Fight.
It began running a few different moves from its standard set to maintain its power in the face of teams beginning to try and prepare it for it: Will-o-Wisp to nail many of the Pursuiters, Shadow Ball for Aegislash and a STAB, Substitute to scout the switch to a Tyranitar, and Hidden Power Fire to stop Scizor have all revealed themselves. Gengar is a somewhat versatile Pokemon, and the situations it creates make a metagame mainly revolving around team matchup. If the Gengar can trap your Pokemon that stops its partner from sweeping, win a 50/50, pull a good double switch, etc. you are probably going to lose. Gengar itself is far more dangerous and potent than its "checks"; this means that it can be far more liberal with its ability to make plays. That, coupled with Shadow Tag, almost assures that you cannot outplay the Gengar.As most of my points are primarily anecdotal, here are some replays and logs with commentary by Melee Mewtwo about some SPL battles, the highest level of Ubers playing:If I need to provide more logs and commentary of good matches, I can do so.So: Mega Gengar's presence vastly threatens the tier and removes player skill from the equation by virtue of being able to eventually trap a Pokemon of necessity in order for a teammate to sweep. This can make player skill obsolete in a 1 v 1 situation, which shouldn't be what is showcased in an official tournament. Gengar is uncompetitive.As a point of reference, OU recently defined uncompetitive as the following:In layman's terms, this means that in a context of the game, the better player should typically have a better chance of winning. With Gengar, I do not truly believe you can say that this holds true in Ubers. Team matchup takes skill out of the players hand. Of course, it's always existent in almost every metagame, but as previously stated, Gengar's mixture of power AND support is unprecedented. Wobbuffet was deemed broken for support characteristics in Gen4, and Shaymin-S was deemed broken due to both luck, speed and power. Gengar is practically a mixture of the two and completely skews skill by virtue of its presence. Of course, this is Ubers, but it has the characteristics of two past banned Pokemon. I'm just trying to convey how much of a threat it really is if you haven't plyed the metagame.So, my proposal to this is rather obvious.
By Carlo GarganeseAnyone fancy some humble pie? There is plenty to go around after Juventus sensationally booked their place in the Champions League final on Wednesday by eliminating holders Real Madrid.No one in their wildest fantasies could have predicted such an outcome last summer when the Bianconeri were left in disarray after coach Antonio Conte suddenly resigned in the middle of July due to a disagreement over transfer policy.In a shock move, Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and CEO Giuseppe Marotta hurriedly named Massimiliano Allegri as Conte’s successor. Only six months earlier, Allegri had been sacked as coach of AC Milan and needless to say the appointment did not go down well with fans.Hundreds of Juventus supporters immediately staged a protest outside the club’s Vinovo training base, while Ultras demanded a meeting with Marotta as part of a campaign to overturn the decision.“The first day with Allegri and the president in the car, we were greeted at the training ground by spitting, eggs and kicks,” Marotta revealed earlier this month.Most Italian journalists predicted that Allegri’s arrival would signal the downfall of Juventus – that Paul Pogba and Manchester United-target Arturo Vidal were certain to leave the club and the rapidly rising Roma would overtake the Bianconeri domestically.Some 10 months down the line, the experts and fans could not have been more wrong. Vidal and Pogba are still at the club and Juve are on course to win a historic treble. A fourth straight Scudetto was clinched with four rounds to spare – with the Old Lady a whopping 16 points clear of crisis-hit Roma. Next week, Juventus have the chance to win their first Coppa Italia since 1995 as they take on Lazio in the final, while against all odds the Bianconeri are in the Champions League final.The work done by Allegri, Marotta and Agnelli has been remarkable. The coach has proven that the problems he encountered at Milan were largely down to an inadequate playing staff and an owner who should have sold the club years ago.At Juventus, he has shown himself to be intelligent, tactically astute and superior to Conte. While his predecessor performed miracles in rebuilding the club and dominating Serie A, he consistently fell short on the continent.
Ford promises a full-scale conflagration with his rhetoric that dismisses LRT outright. With him at the helm, LRTs on Finch and Sheppard will again be in limbo. He even proposes to bury the section of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT that will run on the surface, east of Don Mills Rd. The mantra of “subways, subways, subways” would again ring out, sparking delays, delays, delays, just at the time citizens want council to build, build, build. The delays and disruption and chaos of the last four years are an indicator of what to expect. In addition, now Ford says the downtown relief line (DRL) would jump ahead of the pack in his mind, ahead of Sheppard and Finch. That position is clearly designed to serve as a wedge issue and deliver him votes intended for Tory, the candidate Ford needs to beat. But it would be a disastrous gamble for citizens. The DRL is nowhere near ready or needed as a first priority. And any suggestion of a subway along Finch will be laughed out of city council, while a Sheppard subway is a most difficult sell. Result? Political gridlock. Tory’s challenge will be getting the studies and data before council to convince them that a different kind of transit — electric trains on existing GO Transit tracks — is the fastest, most cost-effective way to provide transit relief for a wide swath of commuters from Markham, through the downtown and out to Etobicoke and Mississauga. His plan has something for everyone: subway to Scarborough, continuation of plans for LRTs on Finch and Sheppard, and continued progress on the future DRL. And the SmartTrack proposal, which is in synch with provincial plans and seems to have their favour. The sticking point will be money. Once they start counting the dollars, city council will be forced to consider all the projects and ask: Is this the best way to go? Are there alternatives? At the end of this unprecedented spending on transit, will commuters be any better off? There are transit planners who will tell you we are putting subways in the wrong place, LRTs where they won’t help, and ignoring options that are better suited to our needs. This is exactly what voters do NOT want to hear. More on that later. Royson James usually appears Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Email: [email protected]
After several hours of searching an area of Roseville where gunshots were heard and two armed men were seen Wednesday morning, officers found an AR-15-style rifle, police said.Police also found empty shell casings and a gun flash suppressor, the Roseville Police Department said. "In the state of California, it's very difficult to own one, I know law enforcement agencies can possess them and certain individuals can possess silencers or suppressors but outside of California, it's a little easier," Roseville police officer Jerry Wernli said.Several articles of clothing were also discovered with the rifle, was was equipped with a silencer, according to Roseville police. However, there is still no sign of the two men officers have been searching for.The area where the gun was found is near an archery range called MAYA Archers, Inc., which is between North Harding Boulevard and Berry Street.Investigators will be checking to find out who owns the gun and will continue to search the area Wednesday afternoon.The incident began about 3 a.m. when residents living behind the Fountains shopping center at Galleria Boulevard and East Roseville Parkway reported hearing loud bangs that sounded like gunshots, police said."... And I had friends who I guess live nearby and heard the shooting all night thinking it was firecrackers and we're surprised to hear it was guns," Roseville resident Katie Clouth said.When officers arrived, they saw flashes and heard more loud gunshot-like bangs. A California Highway Patrol officer saw two men carrying long rifles in the area, police said.Police said they called in additional help because even after several announcements the men did not surrender.One man was wearing a turquoise shirt and the other was wearing a white shirt, police said. Both were believed to be in their 20s.Several shell casings were also found near where the gunshots were heard.A perimeter was set up along the greenbelt area near Interstate 80, which is where KCRA's Brian Hickey watched as officers, with guns drawn, searched the area across I-80, adjacent to Golfland Sunsplash.
“Problems with the homogeneity of sea surface temperature (SST) data arise due to differences in the method of sampling the sea water. Before the second world war the sea water was collected in an uninsulated canvas bucket. There was a delay of a few minutes between sampling and measuring the temperature. During this time the water in the bucket generally cooled slightly by evaporative means. Since the second world War most readings have been made in the intake pipes through which sea water is taken onboard ships to cool the engines. This change in measurement technique was quite abrupt at around 1941, although there are still significant numbers of bucket measurements (using plastic and thus better insulated buckets) made today and some intake measurements were made prior to the second world war. Comparative studies of the two methods indicate that bucket temperatures are cooler by 0.3-0.7″C (James and Fox, 1972). Correcting the SST data for this measurement change may seem, at first, seem an intractable problem. Folland and Parker (1990; 1991) of the UK Meteorological Office, how- ever, have developed a method for correcting the canvas bucket measurements based on physical principles related to the causes of the cooling. The cooling depends on the prevailing meteorological conditions, and so varies according to the time of year and location. Although the cooling is therefore a day-to-day phenomenon, the various influences are basically linear, so cooling amounts can be calculated on a monthly basis. The main free parameter is the elapsed time between sampling and reading. This is generally unknown and must be estimated from the data. The primary assumption in this estimation is that there have been no major changes in the seasonal cycle of SSTs over the period of record. Since the amount of evaporative cooling has a strong seasonal cycle in many parts of the world, an optimum exposure time can be chosen; namely that which minimizes the residual seasonal cycle in the corrected data.As a check on the validity of the method, the implied optimum exposure time turns out to be quite consistent spatially (see Jones and Wigley, 1990; Jones et al., 1991 for more details). The major problem with the technique is that it is not known with any certainty what types of buckets were used to take measurements during the nineteenth century.

The contestants, referred to as "houseguests" take part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win luxuries and power in the house. At the start of each week, the houseguests compete in the Head of Household (HoH) competition. The winner of the HoH competition will select two houseguests to be nominated for eviction. Each week, six houseguests are selected to compete in the Power of Veto (PoV) competition: the reigning HoH, their two nominees and three houseguests selected by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition wins the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated houseguests or leave them as is; if the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another houseguest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee. On eviction night, all houseguests vote to evict one of the two nominees, with the exception of the nominees and the Head of Household, who is only allowed to vote in the event of a tie, in which case they must do so publicly. In addition the Head of Household will control any votes by houseguests not voting in time, the houseguests vote will remain a secret to them if their vote is controlled. This compulsory vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. Unlike most other versions of Big Brother, the houseguests may openly and freely discuss the nomination and eviction process. The nominee with the majority of votes will be evicted, after which the cycle begins again. Houseguests may voluntarily leave the game at any time and those who break the rules may be expelled from the house. The last seven evicted houseguests will form the Big Brother jury and vote for the winner during the season finale. The jury members will be sequestered away from the competing houseguests and be granted access to view competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining houseguests; the jury members will not be shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.
Brothers and sisters good evening.You all know that the duty of the Conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother Cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him… but here we are. I thank you for the welcome that has come from the diocesan community of Rome.First of all I would like to say a prayer pray for our Bishop Emeritus Benedict XVI. Let us all pray together for him, that the Lord will bless him and that our Lady will protect him.Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory to the Father…And now let us begin this journey, the Bishop and the people, this journey of the Church of Rome which presides in charity over all the Churches, a journey of brotherhood in love, of mutual trust. Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for the whole world that there might be a great sense of brotherhood. My hope is that this journey of the Church that we begin today, together with the help of my Cardinal Vicar, may be fruitful for the evangelization of this beautiful city.And now I would like to give the blessing. But first I want to ask you a favour. Before the Bishop blesses the people I ask that you would pray to the Lord to bless me – the prayer of the people for their Bishop. Let us say this prayer – your prayer for me – in silence. [The Protodeacon announced that all those who received the blessing, either in person or by radio, television or by the new means of communication receive the plenary indulgence in the form established by the Church. He prayed that Almighty God protect and guard the Pope so that he may lead the Church for many years to come, and that he would grant peace to the Church throughout the world. ][Immediately afterwards Pope Francis gave his first blessing Urbi et Orbi – To the City and to the World. ]I will now give my blessing to you and to the whole world, to all men and women of good will.Brothers and sisters, I am leaving you. Thank you for your welcome.
The backlog, worth more than $2 billion, includes geostationary communications satellites waiting for launch on SpaceX at discounted prices compared to the commercial market leaders, such as Arianespace and International Launch Services. SpaceX has not launched a satellite into geostationary transfer orbit, the drop-off point for communications satellites heading for operating posts 22,300 miles over the equator. The Falcon 9's next launch after the Sept. 29 test flight is scheduled for this fall from Cape Canaveral, Fla., with the SES 8 communications satellite. In the SES contract with SpaceX, the Luxembourg-based telecom satellite operator stipulated the launch firm demonstrate the Falcon 9 v1.1, including its unflown 17-foot-diameter payload fairing, before putting SES 8 on the next Falcon 9 mission.
I'm launching pre-orders for that, a collection of Sam'sstrip and the newlater this week.The magazine is shifting a bit, we're still dialing it in. I'd like the ratio of articles to comics to be closer to 50/50, actually. I was aiming for that this time, but it's more like 70/30 again. My problem is I keep asking more people do do comics than we have space, or people turning in more pages than I asked for and me liking the comics so much I don't care. So that's a thing, and I'm sure Milo looks forward to me figuring out how to avoid that. The next couple issues will be themed issues, and I'm excited about that. I think there will be a guest comics editor for issue #5. The blogging is definitely non-existent, I just don't personally have time to do it. I'm actually working on bringing in some other people to help with that a little, and some other areas like shipping and marketing. People I'm working with on Linework NW, actually, so that won't really take effect until after the show since we're all busy.Gosh, I dunno? A little bigger, obviously -- but hopefully we can walk that fine line of growing and still keeping to our original spirit, and not losing the local flavor. Right now, I'm mainly worried about this first show going well, we're not quite ready to start looking that far ahead. *********** poster to the forthcoming event by Michael DeForge* photo of Soto by me, SPX 2013* photo of Stumptown 2013 floor by me* art from Mr. DeForge and Mr. Woodring* I believe this art from the project with Christopher Sebela* Dr. Galapagos punches a creature* from* from the fourthon-line serial (below)***************

PERSONAL DATA: As far as the state monitoring of citizens’ activities is concerned, it is well known that any government can easily watch anybody it has a reason to do so. It is therefore unrealistic that an easier monitoring that is assumed to be possible, will have any meaning to be enforced, for the sole reason that it will be easier. It is known that too much information ends to be more “noise” that obscures the searched information. Besides it is obvious that by the appropriate regulations, every measure can be taken to respect the appropriate confidentiality provisions of the various components of the transactions beyond the purely fiscal interest, just in the same way that it is now ensured that the privacy of our various codes and passwords on the internet or mobile banking is being right withheld. In particular, a first simple suggestion is that in each transaction the sole recording that will be done will refer merely on the inflow of money into the “intermediate” account and will by no means be accompanied by a corresponding record of the “paying” account, except the case something like that is explicitly asked by the payer. The relative technological development of cryptographic systems, however, has already given the solution to these issues with the methods of “blind digital signature” which achieves the protection of privacy to hide the details of transactions and allow the control and security of transactions (D. Chaum “Blind Signatures for Untraceable Payments” in Advances in Cryptology-CRYPTO ’82 pp 192-203, 1982, D. Chaum, “Blind Signatures System,” in Advances in Cryptology-CRYPTO ’83, 1984, D. Chaum, ” Security Without Identification: Transaction Systems to Make Big Brother Obsolete “, Communication of the ACM, vol. 28, pp 1030-1044, October 1985 and many other relevant research studies and publications). Potentially one can also have several accounts and apply different tactics for everyone. Let us note here as opposed to the above concerns the possibility that is nowadays present for all our conversations through mobile and fixed telephony to be captured. Who worries about this anymore? Or even cares? Only when someone tries to avoid detection of him or its business contacts, there is a problem, but it is well known that eventually everything becomes knowledge of the monitoring mechanisms.

Today, I have the incredible privilege of sharing my ideas and feelings with literally millions of people through my books, tapes, and television shows. I've personally worked with over a quarter of a million people in the last few years alone. I've assisted members of Congress, CEOs, presidents of companies and countries, managers and mothers, salespeople, accountants, lawyers, doctors, psychiatrists, counselors, and professional athletes. I've worked with phobics, the clinically depressed, people with multiple personalities, and those who thought they had no personality. Now I have the unique good fortune of sharing the best of what I 've learned with you, and for that opportunity I am truly grateful and excited. Through it all, I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I 've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright. I wrote this book for one reason: to be a wake-up call that will challenge those who are committed to living and being more to tap their God-given power. There are ideas and strategies in this book to help you produce specific, measurable, long-lasting changes in yourself and others. You see, I believe I know who you really are. I believe you and I must be kindred souls. Your desire to expand has brought you to this book. It is the invisible hand that guided you. I know that no matter where you are in your life, you want more! No matter how well you're already doing or how challenged you now may be, deep inside of you there lies a belief that your experience of life can and will be much greater than it already is. You are destined for your own unique form of greatness, whether it is as an outstanding professional, teacher, businessperson, mother, or father. Most importantly, you not only believe this, but you've taken action. You not only bought this book, but you're also doing something right now that unfortunately is unique— you're reading it! Statistics show that less than 10 percent of people who buy a book read past the first chapter. What an unbelievable waste! This is a giant book that you can use to produce giant results in your life. Clearly, you're the kind of person who won't cheat yourself by dabbling.

Similar to the effort- and delay-discounting tests for impulsivity, these attention tests involved cognitive processes such as learning. Thus, we further examined attention deficit with the behavioral test that did involve learning process. The ability of sustained attention was further examined with the object exploration test modified from that used in the study by Lukaszewska [39] ( Fig. 4e , also see Materials & Methods ). ANOVA revealed significant effects of lesion on performance of this test (F 1,26 = 24.5, P<0.001 for lesion types; F 1,26 = 0.06; P = 0.814 for ages; F 1,26 = 1.14, P = 0.296 for lesion types×ages). Post-hoc analysis revealed that juvenile NHL rats (1.05±0.06 sec, n = 6) spent significantly shorter time on object exploration compared to CTR rats (1.68±0.05 sec, n = 6; P<0.001 for NHL vs. CTR; Fig. 4f, h ). A reduction of time for object exploration was also observed in adult NHL rats (1.19±0.10 sec, n = 12) compared to CTR rats (1.59±0.11 sec, n = 6; P = 0.006 for NHL vs. CTR; Fig. 4f, h ). Duration of time spent on object exploration may be also influenced by motivation of animals to explore them. To address this issue, the number of visits to objects was also counted. The number of visits to each object was significantly increased in juvenile NHL rats compared to CTR rats, whereas the number of visits was not different between adult NHL rats and CTR rats ( Fig. 4g ). These results suggest that reduction of time for object exploration was not due to decreased motivation to explore the objects. AMP treatments also modulated object exploration in dose-dependent manner (F 1,37 = 14.1, P<0.001 for AMP treatments; F 1,37 = 0.05, P = 0.953 for AMP treatments×ages), with 0.5 mg/kg of AMP treatments further decreasing duration of object exploration (juvenile, 0.83±0.07 sec, n = 7; adult, 0.92±0.11 sec, n = 6; Fig. 4i ), whereas 0.1 mg/kg of AMP treatments increasing duration of exploration to the level of CTR rats (juvenile, 1.37±0.11 sec, n = 6; adult, 1.54±0.10 sec, n = 6; P = 0.014 and P = 0.008 for SAL vs. AMP treatments in juvenile and adult NHL rats, respectively; Fig. 4i ).
Ludlow Monument was erected by the United Mine Workers of America. Although the UMWA failed to win recognition by the company, the strike had a lasting effect both on conditions at the Colorado mines and on labor relations nationally. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. engaged W. L. Mackenzie King, a labor relations expert and future Canadian Prime Minister, to help him develop reforms for the mines and towns. Improvements included paved roads and recreational facilities, as well as worker representation on committees dealing with working conditions, safety, health, and recreation. He prohibited discrimination against workers who had belonged to unions, and ordered the establishment of a company union. The Rockefeller plan was accepted by the miners in a vote. Rockefeller also brought in pioneer public relations expert Ivy Lee, who warned that the Rockefellers were losing public support and developed a strategy that Junior followed to repair it. Junior had to overcome his shyness, go personally to Colorado to meet with the miners and their families, inspect the conditions of the homes and the factories, attend social events, and especially to listen closely to the grievances. This was novel advice, and attracted widespread media attention. The Rockefellers were able both to resolve the conflict, and present a more humanized versions of their leaders. [47] Over time, Ludlow has assumed "a striking centrality in the interpretation of the nation's history developed by several of the most important left-leaning thinkers of the twentieth century. "[48] Historian Howard Zinn wrote his master's thesis and several book chapters on Ludlow. While in graduate school, George McGovern (1922-2012) wrote his doctoral dissertation on the subject, later published in book form as The Great Coalfield War. He was a historian, former United States Senator and Democratic presidential nominee. A United States Commission on Industrial Relations (CIR), headed by labor lawyer Frank Walsh, conducted hearings in Washington, DC, collecting information and taking testimony from all the principals, including John D. Rockefeller, Sr. He testified that, even after knowing that guards in his pay had committed atrocities against the strikers, he "would have taken no action" to prevent his hirelings from attacking them. [49] The commission's report suggested many reforms sought by the unions, and provided support for bills establishing a national eight-hour workday and a ban on child labor. In 1916, the United Mine Workers of America bought the site of the Ludlow tent colony.
With pride, Osama told me that he had become a U.S. citizen, and was now a member of Henry County’s volunteer fire department. His wife and their two young daughters were in Virginia, he explained, but he and his two sons were in Libya, doing whatever they could for the revolution. While Osama was driving his improvised ambulance, his younger son, Yousef, a seventeen-year-old high-school student who was living in Benghazi with a relative, was taking part in the rallies held daily in front of the revolution’s headquarters, a beat-up courthouse on the city’s seafront promenade. Muhannad, his elder son, a twenty-one-year-old medical student, was fighting at the front. Osama’s description of Muhannad reminded me that a few days before, in Ras Lanuf, I had noticed a young Libyan-American fighter, fair-haired and blue-eyed. He was wearing a mujahideen-style pakul cap, and he waved and smiled at me from a jeep that was making its way to the front line. I asked Osama if his son had light hair and wore an Afghan cap, and he beamed: “Yes, that’s him! That’s my son.” Osama lamented the inexperience of rebels like Muhannad and his friends. Qaddafi’s soldiers were largely veterans and mercenaries, backed up with significant artillery, most of it Soviet-era. The rebels, by contrast, had set up a base in Benghazi where Army veterans gave volunteers a brief training in how to load, clean, and fire a Kalashnikov; many fighters did not get even this rudimentary instruction. Osama said, “The boys at the front, some of them have never seen a gun before.” Qaddafi had appeared on TV and called the rebels “cockroaches,” swearing to hunt them down “house by house.” Osama concluded, “It’s no longer only about freedom now, this revolution; it’s about survival, and protecting one’s family.” Earlier that morning, he told me, a middle-aged man from the distant town of Tobruk had driven up to the clinic and asked him how to get to Al Uqaylah, a small way station twenty-five miles down the road. Osama warned him that it lay in the path of Qaddafi’s advancing troops, but the man said that his safety was of no importance: he was going to Al Uqaylah to look for his son’s body. His son, a rebel volunteer, had gone off to fight at the front line. After not hearing from him for several days, he called his cell phone, and a stranger answered.
Place the antenna on the roof of greenhouses and industrialized greenhouse food production can be undertaken to supply the adjacent city with locally-grown fresh food year-round regardless of the climate. Build industrial plants under the antenna or on the station grounds and these industries will have direct access to gigawatt-levels of electrical power. Repeat this 800 times across the nation and America’s energy production, food production, and industry becomes highly decentralized, creating significant new business and job growth opportunities almost everywhere. This is a clear economic advantage of space-based energy that cannot be matched by terrestrial renewable energy solutions. America will be substantially rebuilt and modernized during the 21st century as it transitions from fossil fuels to space-based energy. Now, extend this model to the world. The world will need 10,000 of these sustainable energy gateways to meet the growing world energy needs. The equivalent of another 4,000 will be built to capture excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Across the globe, independent of traditional sources of energy, the world’s population will have access to space-based sustainable energy. This is what the UNFCCC treaty wants to have happen and what a renegotiated Paris Climate Agreement can make happen by turning to space-based sustainable energy as the primary technological replacement for fossil fuels. With each of these energy gateways, the government’s revenue from excise, income, and property taxes will increase. The United States has an immense debt of $20 trillion. States and local governments have substantial additional debt and future expenditure obligations. The commercial space energy, space mining, and space manufacturing industries, and the new cities, industries, businesses, and jobs created by the energy gateways will add significant new national wealth and income generation: just what America needs to rebalance government income and expenditures and reduce public debt. The same will happen worldwide as impoverished nations gain energy gateways to enable them to transform the economic potential of their citizens and country into new national wealth while establishing a modern standard of living and economy. Terrestrial sustainable energy sources will not be able to accomplish this. NASA’s pathfinder mission During the 1850s, when the idea of a transcontinental railroad spanning the United States began to take hold, the federal government sent exploration teams into the West to locate needed natural resources and survey potential routes. This followed similar efforts undertaken to chart coastal and interior river and lake navigation routes.

The 6-foot tall, well-built man with graying hair and a shy smile says he hand tunnelled for more than a year before taking up other roles on the job. A crew of four or five people usually works on a project, whether it’s six metres or 50 metres below the surface. Two or three people do the digging, one stays at the opening of the tunnel to synchronize activities while another operates a crane above, lowering supplies and hoisting excavated dirt. Before they begin, they are given a map of the surrounding utilities and the path the tunnel will take. “We usually know what to expect,” says Maksimovich. But they are always ready for the unexpected. As the hole progresses, 2.5-metre-long sections of large steel casing pipe are pushed in with compressed air to shore up the tunnel. The water main will be installed within and be encased in concrete for stability. A “locomotive” — a platform on tracks propelled by compressed air — ferries workers to their task and brings back buckets of soil. About 15 cubic metres of earth — 30 tonnes — is dug out daily, resulting in roughly seven metres of progress. On a recent icy morning at Avenue and Castlefield, Manuel Macaes operates the crane, Maksimovich sits hunched at the opening of the tunnel awaiting a signal that the next bucket of earth is coming while two workers shovel 80 metres away, deep in the tunnel. Fresh snow surrounds the shaft, some water is standing at the bottom — melting snow — icicles have formed on the sides of the tunnel and far inside, as far as you can see . . . you can’t see anything at all. “It’s not scary but your body takes a lot of abuse,” says Macaes, who has worked with Maksimovich since 1998 and has done hand tunnelling too. Arduous physical labour isn’t the only challenge. Crews can encounter anything from boulders to a high water table, even flowing soil. Nothing untoward has reared its head yet in this tunnel, but at Avenue Rd. and St. Clair Ave., crews discovered a high water table, which is unsuitable for a tunnel. Millions of litres are still being pumped from beneath the intersection to prepare the ground for tunnelling. Maksimovich’s toughest job was tunnelling a sanitary sewer at Jane St. and Rutherford Rd. in Vaughan.
In the first instance, the processes of institutional analysis that Guattari associates with the work of subject groups is experimental in the rather banal and somewhat colloquial and simplificatory sense of ‘trying things out’. This is demonstrated in the practice at La Borde of using a ‘grille’, a complex grid of rotating allocations of tasks involved in the running of the institution on a day-to-day basis. Guattari describes its operation as a ‘sort of instrument for regulating necessary institutional disordering’ and it is clear that its use aimed at having analytic effects establishing relations between different groups in the institution. If we read the ‘grille’ in terms of the foregoing discussion, it appears a part of the kind of process that Guattari sought to cultivate in the institution as a way of preventing institutional inertia associated with the alienation of subjugated groups and their ‘ritual’ cultivation of symptoms. In later years, Guattari sometimes invoked Gisela Pankow’s idea of ‘transferential grafts’ and her use of modelling clay (as a way of working with psychotic patients in situations in which the ‘normal’ transference would not operate) to offer a more complex characterization of the generation of transversality in the institution. As he puts it: ‘at La Borde, our modelling clay is the institutional “matter” that is generated through the entangling of workshops, meetings, everyday life in the dining rooms, cultural life, sports, games’, thereby drawing attention to the way in which transversality entails an operation on institutional processes themselves, not as a substitute for what might be achieved through the use of the transference such as might take place with a neurotic, but as part of the process of generating possibilities of affective opening. This framing of the institution as a sort of modelling clay is an idea that has strong aesthetic resonances. It is perhaps as much in terms of Guattari’s thinking about the institution, as in the context of any reference to contemporary art, that Guattari’s later invocation of an ‘ethico-aesthetic paradigm’ should be understood. However, it is also important to point out that themes of artifice and creativity are central elements of his early thinking, which are not only closely allied to the question of the institution and of subjectivity in relationship, but also help flesh out the way in which we might understand what makes Guattari’s work experimental.
Of course, on the list of things we're currently concerned about, no longer having M&Ms as the official candy of the White House is pretty low on the list.
“Put on friendly faces, you two.” The senator stepped between them and squinted into the night. “The fool’s boat approaches. There!” Amid the fishing boats a bright lantern drifted, and slowly broke rank as the gondola moved toward them. In a moment it was glid- ing into the dock, the gondolier so precise in his handling of the oar that the black boat stopped with its rails only a handsbreadth from the dock. A louvered hatch clacked open and out of the cabin stepped a wiry little man dressed in the black-and-silver motley and mask of a harlequin. By his size, one might have thought him a boy, but the oversize codpiece and the shadow of a beard on his cheek betrayed his years. “One lantern?” said the harlequin, hopping up onto the dock. “You couldn’t have spared an extra torch or two, Brabantio? It’s dark as night’s own nutsack out here.” He breezed by the soldier and the merchant. “Toadies,” he said, nodding to them. Then he was on his way up the path to the villa, pumping a puppet-headed jester’s scepter as he went. The senator tottered along behind him, holding the lantern high to light their way. “It’s an auspicious night, Fortunato,” said the senator. “And I sent the servants away before nightfall so—” “Call me Pocket,” said the fool. “Only the dge calls me Fortu- nato. Wonder that’s not his nickname for everyone, bloody bung- fingered as he is at cards.” At the dock, the soldier again laid hand on sword hilt, saying, “By the saints, I would run my blade up through his liver right now, and lift him on it just to watch that arrogant grin wither as he twitched. Oh how I do hate the fool.” The merchant smiled and talked through his teeth as he pressed the soldier’s sword hand down, throwing a nod toward the gondo- lier, who was standing on his boat, waiting. “As do I, in this pan- tomime we perform for Carnival, he is our jibing clown. Ha! The Punchinello in our little puppet show, all in good fun, am I right?” The soldier looked to the boatman and forced a grin. “Quite right. All in good cheer. I play my part too well. One moment, signor. I will have your instructions.” He turned and called up the path. “Montressor! The gondolier?”
One thing that I have noticed is that when most people want to show off their newly painted miniatures they ruin their paint job by taking a bad picture.Even the best of painted miniatures can't be admired if the picture isn't good, so I have created this guide to help you take better miniature pictures.Here is an example of a bad picture:Not only is the image too cluttered, but the miniature is too far away. Don't be afraid to fill the picture with the miniature, like this one:While the second one still needs to eliminate some clutter, you can see how it is already better.Another way to make the image even better is to use a solid background such as white or blue, such as this picture:To achieve this all we did was put a piece of white paper behind the miniature, like this:You can see how the picture is better already.Nothing kills a picture more than poor lighting. In our studio we use a light box constructed from halogens, piping, and bed sheets to help create a great lighting environment.Here is what it looks like:With it, we took this picture:Lastly, to make the picture "perfect" you should eliminate the empty spacing on either side.You can use Microsoft Paint (which comes with any Windows-running computer) to do this quite easily and quickly.Here is the final picture cropped:To recap, to get a good picture you should:-Get in close-Eliminate clutter-Use a solid background-Use good lighting-Crop the picture to eliminate white spaceThis section is for those who understand camera terminology. Here are some extra tips that I can give you.Unless you are going for a special effect you are going to want the entire miniature to be in focus.

Pruitt had complained that the trial judge permitted questioning of prospective jurors by the prosecutor as to "sexual preferences and prejudices," but would not permit further questioning by the defense because the defense did not raise an objection.93 The Court also said that hostile questioning of the expert witness as to acts such as bestiality, necrophilia, pedophilia, and sado-masochism and their "naturalness" was to determine credibility of the witness.94 The Court concluded that this was not "unduly" inflammatory to the jury.95 After sustaining the conviction, the Court refused to consider the question of whether the legislature may constitutionally prohibit oral copulation in a heterosexual relationship when not solicited for compensation, or whether such conduct is unnatural.96 An appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court was unsuccessful when it voted 4-3 to refuse to hear Pruitt’s case.97 Meanwhile, in 1984, in State v. Williams,98 an appellate court voted 2-1 to sustain a conviction under the sodomy law for the solicitation of a male undercover police officer by another male. Because Williams was "a multiple offender," he received a sentence of four years at hard labor.99 Williams, after being arrested, asked the arresting officer not to place him in the general jail population "because he was [G]ay. "100 This apparently was used as corroborating evidence, although the opinion does not make any reference to this statement’s significance. The "multiple" offender reference was due to one previous guilty plea to the same offense.101 In dissent, Chief Judge William Redmann believed that the law was unconstitutional for two reasons. First, the vagueness of the wording made it unclear what was illegal,102 and the penalty was unconstitutional as disproportionate to the crime. He noted that prostitution was a misdemeanor, but solicitation for sodomy for compensation was a felony, thus being "cruel and unusual punishment" due to the law’s "disproportionateness and arbitrariness. "103 Also in 1984, an appellate court unanimously sustained another sodomy conviction based on solicitation for compensation in the case of State v. Simmons.104 In this case, the undercover vice squad officer solicited had been "wired" for sound and several other vice squad officers to whom the solicited officer drove the defendant had the entire conversation on tape. The court rejected an entrapment defense.105 A law enacted in 1985106 prohibited the "promotion" of "obscene devices." Such devices included "an artificial penis or artificial vagina" primarily used for "stimulation of human genital organs."
I will not go into all the extraordinary specifications and design choices for the Magico Q7 speakers. The Q7s are an engineering marvel. Please see the graphic below and the Magico website for additional details. Needless to say, the Q7s are an aesthetic and technical tour de force. You can take the first four paragraphs above for the RI-100 and paste them in right here. Well, rather than have you back track, I am actually going to do that for you. My apologies for the redundancy, but these two products speak the same language. Just want to reaffirm the point about synergy. The Magico Q7 speakers are without compromise from any possible perspective or listening criteria. They can provide some of the most neutral, detailed, and transparent sound that I have heard in my listening room. The Q7s are lightning quick. There is no edge or whiteness along for the ride. Timbre, pitch, and tone is spot on. There is no romance—all artificial harmonics are stripped away, and you are left with the real thing. When driven by the right equipment, the Q7s can handle the most demanding low frequencies with an iron grip. Texture and slam is the best. Let me be clear, the sound is not lean. If you love a certain amount of warmth and additional bloom to your bass, look elsewhere. No overhang, no mid bass hump—just a vivid articulate presentation that will make you believe. Highs and mids are wonderfully fleshed out without excessive bite or grain. Strings, woodwinds, and female vocals are always a tough challenge. I have never heard better on vinyl, SACDs, and 192 files. Even well recorded CDs can raise the hair on the back of your neck as Yo Yo Ma, John Coltrane, or Sarah Vaughn work their way into a frenzy. Like no other transducer that I have experienced, piano recordings finally have the correct weight, timbre, and inner density. Soundstage is vast and extensive beyond the speakers when the music calls for it. You will not find any manipulation or false dimensions as you listen deep into the recording venue. Imaging is consistently superb and almost holographic with the very best recordings. You don't have to lean into the music to see and hear these variables, just sit back and absorb. The biggest compliment that I can give the Q7 speakers is that they are like chameleons.
The atmosphere was a hundred times thinner than Earth’s, the temperature at daybreak around a hundred and eighteen degrees below zero. Even so, when the first soil tests came back, NASA analysts popped a bottle of champagne. Two of the samples, when mixed with radioactive nutrients, gave off bursts of radioactive carbon dioxide—a sign that the nutrients had been metabolized. Some scientists still defend those results: the soil may have had microbes living on ice beneath the surface, they say. But the landers found no other signs of biological activity, nor any organic compounds. If anything, the soil seemed inimical to life: there was so much iron in it that any whiff of oxygen was quickly bound into rust. The planet was red for a reason. “The Mars program has never fully moved past Viking emotionally,” Steltzner told me. Even if the planet had life, scientists now knew, finding it would be extremely hard. So they didn’t go back to the surface for twenty years. The lull of the late seventies gave way to the budget cuts of the eighties, which led to the “Faster, Better, Cheaper” era of the nineties—an attempt to build spacecraft more efficiently with the help of industrial partners like Lockheed Martin. NASA finally returned to Mars in 1997, with the Pathfinder lander and its roving sidekick, Sojourner (they mostly found more volcanic rocks). But the technical achievement was bracketed by disasters. The Mars Observer, launched in 1992, dropped out of sight three days before it was scheduled to enter orbit. The Mars Climate Orbiter, launched in 1998, incinerated in the planet’s atmosphere, owing to a mixup in measuring units between the ground crew and the onboard computer. A month later, the Mars Polar Lander touched down on the south pole and was never heard from again. “It doesn’t take a lot not to be good enough,” Tommaso Rivellini, one of the engineers who worked on Pathfinder and the Polar Lander, told me. “There really are millions of things that have to go right. We just went a little too fast, a little too far.” As the Polar Lander was heading toward Mars, NASA was already working on its next mission: a spacecraft that would land on the planet, pick up soil samples, and send them back to Earth in a rocket. Now that project was scrapped as too risky.
We've written numerous times about the site Ripoff Report from the company Xcentric Ventures. Ripoff Report has been involved in numerous lawsuits from people trying to sue the site for posts they claim are defamatory. Ripoff Report has strict "no removals" policy, though it does encourage people who are ridiculed via the site to respond -- and offers aprogram to help individuals and companies improve their reputation. Thanks to Section 230 of the CDA -- which we've written about quite a bit -- Ripoff Report has mostly prevailed when sued. That's because it's not Ripoff Report writing the content. They're just the service provider. People who are upset can still go after the original author of any content if there's actual defamation there, but suing Ripoff Report tends not to get very far. Not surprisingly, this pisses off some people, leading them to try out a variety of tactics to get around Section 230, most of which fail.The latest such attempt comes from attorney Richard Goren, who first sued the person who wrote this post on Ripoff Report in Massachusetts state court. From the look of the post, Goren probably has a legitimate defamation claim against the author of the post. It makes a number of completely unsupported statements of fact that accuse Goren of a variety of illegal activities including things like fraudulently seizing assets from the elderly and child abuse. You can absolutely see how this could lead to a legitimate defamation claim. Of course, the post is alsoover the top that it seems doubtful that anyone looking at it would take it at face value. Furthermore, the comments on the post make it pretty clear that people don't believe it at all.Either way, Goren won his initial suit in the state court via what appears to be a default judgment, which includes an injunction against the person who wrote the original post -- variably named as "John Doe dba Arabiannights-Boston Massachusetts," "Steven DuPont," "Steven Christian DuPont" and "Christian DuPont" -- from continuing to post it. All of that seems more or less reasonable. But here's where it gets highly questionable. As a part of the default judgment, Goren also convinced the state courtOnce that was in place, Goren immediately turned around and told Ripoff Report that the post wasand demanded that it be taken down. Ripoff Report refused, citing their usual policy, and Goren has now sued the company claiming copyright infringement.
In short, the left's signals of virtue signal no virtue. Leftists are not taking a bold stand against evil. They are, instead, vainly exhaling mere words that have no real meaning at all. The warriors who defeated the South made peace with Johnny Reb. The Northern veterans celebrated anniversaries with their Southern adversaries. The heroes of the Union, having rendered the emblems of secession harmless, did not strive to tear them down. But the left, members of whom fought and defeated nothing, now want to wage war against inanimate objects. Before long, they'll be wanting to unearth all the remains of the Confederate dead. The American Civil War and World War II were won a long time ago. For sensible people, this fact militates against declaring these wars all over again. But for the left, the exact opposite is true. These are the fights it longs for. Its bogus battlers truly need to fight someone else's old wars all over again. It's the only way that losers can win. Tom Riley is widely known as a poet of the formalist school and is the author of Translations from the Ogrish.
Hello, As you are aware, I have been the head researcher for SCP-1293 since Dr. Reeves was terminated for unrelated reasons. Having spent roughly a year observing SCP-1293, I have come to the conclusion that present documentation of SCP-1293—particularly in regard to SCP-1293-A's reproductive process—is inaccurate and in urgent need of revision. When I was first transferred to this project, I was surprised that Dr. Reeves had based much of SCP-1293's documentation on testimony by SCP-1293-A specimens. Feeling that it was not sufficient to go by SCP-1293-A's words alone, I put in place a number of new research guidelines, including the discreet video monitoring of SCP-1293 during the 24 hours following Procedure 722-Ephraim. The footage that we have since obtained has shown that specimens SCP-1293-A and SCP-1293-B, do, in fact, mate, using a thin, red tendril that extends from the male's mouth to the female's. Frankly, I am appalled that such a crucial aspect of SCP-1293 has not been previously documented. Now that we know SCP-1293 reproduce by mating, that leaves the question of what Procedure 722-Ephraim accomplishes, as well as the question of what SCP-1293-C are. I have a theory that I believe addresses both these issues: Contrary to current documentation, SCP-1293 do indeed feed, empathically drawing sustenance from human emotion. SCP-1293-A feed on feelings of unease and perturbation, and SCP-1293-B feed on feelings of confusion and bewilderment. SCP-1293-B are easily capable of subsisting on the feelings expressed by research personnel during Terpsichore Events, but SCP-1293-A must employ more elaborate methods of feeding. In addition to unsettling the children, SCP-1293-A forces us to use our own kids as a ploy to provoke an emotional reaction from jaded Foundation personnel. If SCP-1293-A has gone without "food" for an extended length of time, it will release SCP-1293-C as an emergency defense mechanism. In order to test this theory, I propose that a revised version of SCP-1293's special containment procedures will be used on a trial basis. SCP-1293-A and SCP-1293-B are to be kept in separate habitats, as I believe they should have been when initially contained. Procedure 722-Ephraim will be altered to use D-Class personnel who have been provided fabricated information about SCP-1293 to enhance their levels of discomfort and anxiety during the process. Finally, now that we know the purpose of Terpsichore Events, a similar D-Class procedure will be put in place to ensure that SCP-1293-B will still be able to feed.

It was in the year of our Lord 1518, after Diego Velasquez had learnt the good account we gave of the newly-discovered country, called Yucatan, that he determined to send thither another expedition. For this purpose he selected four vessels, among which were the two in which we warriors had accompanied Cordoba on our recent voyage to Yucatan, purchased at our own expense. At the time this squadron was fitting out there were staying at Santiago de Cuba, Juan de Grijalva, Pedro de Alvarado, Francisco de Montejo, and Alonso de Avila; who had commendaries of Indians in these islands, and had come to transact business with the governor. As these were all men of courage and energy, Velasquez soon made arrangements with them to take part in this expedition, on the following terms: that Juan de Grijalva, who was related to him, should have the chief command of the whole expedition as captain-general, while Pedro de Alvarado, Francisco de Montejo, and Alonso de Avila, should be appointed to the command of the three other ships. They had also to furnish the vessels with provisions of cassave bread and pickled meat; Diego Velasquez had, on the other hand, to procure the four vessels, furnish the necessary crossbows, muskets, goods for barter, and other matters of less importance. Our account that the houses in the newly-discovered country were built of stone and lime, had spread a vast idea of its riches, added to which the Indian Melchorejo had given to understand by signs that it abounded in gold mines. All this created a great desire among the inhabitants and soldiers throughout the island, who possessed no commendaries of Indians, to go in quest of such a rich country; consequently, in a very short time, we mustered 220. Each person, moreover, furnished himself with additional provisions, arms, and other matters which might be useful.
Coming soon to a… Texas filmmakers and actors will be well represented in movie houses through the end of 2017. Here are some notable titles already scheduled for release.—Christopher Kelly A Ghost Story (July 7) Dallas’s David Lowery directs a supernatural indie, reuniting him with Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck, the stars of his breakout film Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. War for the Planet of the Apes (July 14) Woody Harrelson joins the talking-monkey franchise, playing an evil army colonel who squares off against that lovably soulful ape, Caesar. The Dark Tower (August 4) Matthew McConaughey takes on the iconic role of the Man in Black in what many hope will be Hollywood’s next big franchise, based on the Stephen King series of post-apocalyptic thrillers. Wind River (August 4) Oscar-nominated Hell or High Water screenwriter Taylor Sheridan, who grew up west of Waco, makes his big-time directorial debut with a crime thriller set on a Native American reservation. Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen star. The Glass Castle (August 11) Jeannette Walls’s best-selling memoir about her spectacularly troubled upbringing comes to the big screen, with Woody Harrelson—suddenly the hardest-working man in Hollywood—playing Walls’s alcoholic father. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (October 13) Wait, does Woody Harrelson have a balloon payment due on his mortgage? He stars here opposite Frances McDormand in a darkly comic thriller about a woman searching for her daughter’s killer. Same Kind of Different as Me (October 20) The inspirational memoir, co-written by Dallas–Fort Worth art dealer Ron Hall and the late Denver Moore (a Fort Worth man who was once homeless), gets the big-screen treatment, co-starring another Texan, Renée Zellweger. LBJ (November 10) Rob Reiner’s long-awaited biopic—yet another Woody Harrelson vehicle—finally emerges from distribution limbo, just in time for awards season. Bastards (December 22) Dallasite Owen Wilson and Ed Helms play twin brothers (don’t ask) searching for the dad they’ve never met. The Current War (December 22) This historical drama—an unlikely follow-up to Me and Earl and the Dying Girl for Laredo-born director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon—focuses on the rivalry between Thomas Edison (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon). A number of titles in post-production will likely turn up at film festivals before making their way into theaters. Last Flag Flying Richard Linklater returns with an adaptation of Darryl Ponicsan’s novel. Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, and Laurence Fishburne lead the cast.
Do you use Skype to talk with your friends and family around the world? Well, thanks to Edward Snowden’s latest leaks and revelations it appears that the Microsoft-owned company is now under investigation for privacy violations. Luxembourg is investigating Skype for handing over personal details of users to the Intelligence gathering agencies of the US government. The NSA’s PRISM program has been revealed to be gathering three times the amount of video calls that it was collected thanks to Skype’s move from a change in the architecture of the person-to-person communications system. It has been suggested that the company itself has been handing over the encryption keys to the NSA. Although Skype is remaining quiet about the whole affair, that has not stopped Luxembourg’s information commissioner from pressing ahead with his investigation. Under Luxembourg law, citizens have a right to privacy. The right to privacy has been enshrined into law and both Skype and Microsoft could be fined if it turns out that the company was guilty of offences.A spokesman from Microsoft claimed the Redmond, Washington tech giant would like to be more forthright with information, but are currently prevented from doing so. “Microsoft believes the US constitution guarantees our freedom to share more information with the public, yet the government is stopping us,” a spokesperson said.Skype has a questionable history when it comes to cooperating with snooping agencies. According to the New York Times, it formed Project Chess, previously undisclosed programme that arose after difficult conversations over legal issues surrounding snooping. Anonymous sources claim that the small group was formed to examine the legal and technical issues that prevented spies from gaining access to communications. Skype also discloses in its Terms and Conditions that:“Skype will retain your information for as long as is necessary to: (1) fulfill any of the Purposes (as defined in article 2 of this Privacy Policy) or (2) comply with applicable legislation, regulatory requests and relevant orders from competent courts.”The news, first reported by the Guardian, has brought the ire of privacy advocates. "The only people who lose are users," says Eric King, head of research at human rights group Privacy International. "Skype promoted itself as a fantastic tool for secure communications around the world, but quickly caved to government pressure and can no longer be trusted to protect user privacy. "Skype will not comment on the technical processes it uses to hand over intercepted calls to the NSA.
CALIFORNIA HEALTH SERVICE PLAN: FINANCIAL SAVINGS, UNIVERSAL COVERAGE The CHSP proposed several features that reflect the principles of the American Public Health Association and that build on the US Universal Health Service Act (HR 3080), sponsored in Congress by Rep Barbara Lee. In addition to public funding through a single government payer, it identifies improving the health of the population as a central goal of health care reform. Public financing would automatically confer many benefits, including administrative savings that can finance universal coverage. However, explicit changes are required to organize, integrate, and improve the delivery system and to rebalance the relationship between providers and users of health care services. Therefore, the CHSP calls for public acquisition and ownership of the delivery system to provide public authority and accountability for critical reforms. These include increasing and redistributing primary care providers, financing multidisciplinary education for health care workers, and creating group practices in which teams of providers collaborate to achieve improvements in safety and quality. Clinicians would be reimbursed by salary, with both organizational and limited financial incentives permitted for performance. CHSP drew on state experiences with failing private hospitals in rural areas that converted to public status as district hospitals, and on lessons in financing and reimbursement from Europe and Canada. The state’s increasing rate of hospitalizations that could be prevented with adequate ambulatory care, for conditions such as asthma and pneumonia, further supported the need for public health and delivery system reforms to control costs and improve health. The CHSP plan would save $4.6 billion in the first year compared with present total health spending, and $45.3 billion in 2012, after full phase-in of primary care reforms (Figure 1 ). This estimate also includes the cost to the state of acquiring hospitals and other components of the delivery system. Open in a separate window Additionally, the financial modelers compared all the Health Care Options Project proposals to estimate the number of Californians who would be covered on complete implementation of the plan, the reduction in the numbers of uninsured, and changes in both public sector costs and total annual health spending. Table 1 shows a selective sample of the proposals in each category (including the lowest and highest cost among the incremental reforms). At best, alternative approaches to single-payer plans cover far fewer people, and none reduce total health spending. TABLE 1— No.
At a parade in Tehran, shown on state TV, the military displayed a wide array of long-range missiles, tanks, and the Russian-supplied S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system.In a reference to Iran's arch-foe Israel, a banner on one military truck shown on state TV read,: "If the leaders of the Zionist regime make a mistake then the Islamic Republic will turn Tel Aviv and Haifa to dust. "Iran’s military chief of staff Gen. Mohammad Hossein Bagheri said at the parade that the $38 million, 10-year defense aid package granted to Israel by the United States makes Iran “more determined” to strengthen its military.“The criminal move [by the United States] to sign an agreement to present a supportive military package to the Zionist regime is a desperate attempt to protect the security vacuum of the regime and makes us more determined to increase our military power,” Baqeri said, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.At the port of Bandar Abbas on the Gulf, the navy showed off 500 vessels, as well as submarines and helicopters, at a time of high tension with the United States in the strategic waterway.US officials say there have been more than 30 close encounters between US and Iranian vessels in the Gulf so far this year, over twice as many as in the same period of 2015.On September 4, a US Navy coastal patrol ship changed course after an Iranian Revolutionary Guard fast-attack craft came within 100 yards (91 meters) of it in the central Gulf, at least the fourth such incident in less than a month, US Defense Department officials said.
“NO. Many speak of Ultimate Warrior’s place in the Hall of Fame as a tribute. Some even use it as a plea that I should make nice with WWE, let bygones be bygones. That being inducted into the Hall of Fame would be a tribute to all I accomplished with the character in sports-entertainment and a way to preserve its legacy, and an appreciative gesture to all of Ultimate Warrior’s fans. I disagree. The greater tribute, the one showing greater honor and reverence, for the character and the fans, is to stand by my principles and refuse to participate in the charade. Ultimate Warrior fans, even more than persona, are better than any honor today’s WWE could bestow. Frankly, I can’t think of an easier way to disrespect the character, the fans or myself. Ultimate Warrior is a Hall-of-Famer because HE IS. There is nothing else to add or do to make it so that he is one. He is, pure and simple. End of story. A phony ceremony isn’t what makes him one. My own legacy, as the creator and performer of Ultimate Warrior, is to the people who have stood by me and drawn strength and inspiration from the integrity of my word. That my word is my bond and there is value in my promises. Going back to the WWE for the sake of one emotional moment would have me lose much more than I could ever gain. What I am, where I’ve come and what I stand for is worth much more than a shiny WWE plaque on my wall. That’s how I see it, and that is my tribute to the career of the Ultimate Warrior and to all those people who loved and supported him, and who continue to do so. It is my testimony to the fans, and to stand in a WWE ring and wave to them would be nothing more than cheap and superficial. It would do nothing more than denigrate his memory. A memory that, it’s funny, yet so true, will outlast every other one that has ever stepped into a wrestling ring. And will, just as much because of what I stand for now, as what Ultimate Warrior stood for in the ring all those years some time ago.”
A testament to the civility of the evening was made evident by the appearance of a campus policeman beside the front stage as discussion grew a little heated. His very presence seemed to cool tempers, and he exchanged smiles and greetings with some audience members. While there was applause at various points, laughter at others -- how different from most academic panels -- at no time was there chanting or invective hurled by the audience (that either of us, or anyone we talked to, witnessed) or by panelists at Israel or at any other state. No panelist called for or led the audience to chant or collectively to chastise Israel. In fact, the most uncomfortable expression of the evening was heard repeatedly at the front stage after the event had ended. A well-known Israeli provocateur from the UCLA neighborhood (neither a student nor a faculty member), who had once been involved in a scuffle with the UCLA campus rabbi (of all people), was marching up and down hissing wildly beneath her breath at one of the speakers on the panel, calling him out by first name and insisting in a tone laced with invective that he should be ashamed of himself. How, then, have hearsay, exaggeration, and sheer fabrication managed to replace a sturdy, robust account of the event based on actual facts? Two accounts of the panel were published shortly after it took place. The first was by a professional journalist writing for UCLA Today, the campus newspaper of record, on January 22. It characterized the forum as "a well-attended public event," and went on to summarize the main arguments of the papers. It made no mention of jeers, chants, or other untoward behavior (because there were none). It is remarkable that in all the discussion of the panel that has subsequently taken place, there are, as far as we can tell, only two links to this article on the entire internet. How the Internet Loves Malicious Fictions The second article, which has proliferated widely through the enchantment of the internet, was written by the education/research director of Stand With Us (one of the most vociferous components of the Israel on Campus Coalition), who sometimes identifies herself as a member of the faculty of UC Irvine (which in fact she is not).
But if not, the hackers could malfunction water plant, or worse, dump life-threatening amounts of chlorine in water supplies that could potentially poison entire cities.GIT researchers searched the internet for the two models of PLCs that they targeted during their experiment and found more than 1,500 PLCs that were exposed online.Targeting industrial control and SCADA systems is not new, cybercriminals and nation-state actors are doing this for years, with programs like Stuxnet Flame , and Duqu, but ransomware will soon add a financial element to these type of cyber attacks.Therefore, it is inevitable that money-motivated criminals will soon target critical infrastructure directly. Additionally, the nation-state actors could also hide their intentions under ransomware operators.So, it is high time for industrial control systems and SCADA operators to start adopting standard security practices like changing the PLCs default passwords, limiting their connections by placing them behind a firewall, scanning their networks for potential threats, and install intrusion monitoring systems.
Chapter 1 The rookie veteran Brian Pallister was doing a horrible job containing a giddy, nervous smile as he entered an abandoned jewelry store on Marion Street – the campaign office for his PC candidate in the Saint Boniface riding – on this, the biggest morning of his political life. It was March 16, the first day of the 41st provincial election campaign. Pallister shouldn't have been too nervous; he had been through six elections as a candidate before. However, this one would be unlike any other for Pallister. Veteran politician. Rookie leader. One of the undeniable precepts of politics is that being a candidate for public office does little to prepare someone for leading a party into an election. Political history in this country is littered with tales of promising careers destroyed by the inability to endure the burden of leadership. Simply put, being able to get elected does not necessarily mean you have the mettle to lead others into an election. Pallister, despite having led his party to nearly unassailable levels of popularity in pre-election polls, still entered this campaign as a wild card. A wild card with a pretty extensive political toolbox at his disposal. Pallister is a polished, experienced politician who can deliver a solid stump speech and is good working a room. However, he is also a notorious lone wolf who does not seek nor accept much in the way of advice from those around him. Pallister frequently talks about his accomplishments in sports as a metaphor for his leadership style. The example cited most often is his time playing basketball for the Brandon University Bobcats. However, people who have known him his entire life say it wasn't basketball, but fastball that defined Pallister. "You know, he was a pitcher," said a long-time political ally. "And that's who he is. The single guy standing out there on the mound, doing his own thing and living and dying by his own performance." He can also be a loose cannon who has a penchant for saying odd and inflammatory things. Combined, these qualities made the electorate somewhat ambivalent about his potential to be premier. PHIL HOSSACK / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Pallister and MLA Ron Schuler at the closing of the 40th session of the Legislature. The Tories have spent 16 years in opposition. According to pre-writ polls, Pallister’s personal popularity lagged significantly behind his party.

] "Esto es particularmente verdad en España. Sus habitantes sienten envidia por el sabio que entre ellos surge y alcanza maestría en su arte; tienen en poco lo mucho que pueda hacer, rebajan sus aciertos y se ensañan, en cambio, con sus caídas y tropiezos, sobre todo mientras vive, y con doble animosidad que en cualquier otro país. Si acierta, dicen: 'Es un audaz ladrón y un plagiario desvergonzado'. Si es una medianía, sentencian: 'Es una nadería insípida y una mediocridad insignificante'. Si madruga en apoderarse del trofeo de la carrera, preguntan: '¿De dónde ha salido éste, dónde aprendió y cuándo ha estudiado...?'. Si la suerte le lleva luego por el camino de descollar claramente sobre sus émulos, o le hace abrirse una senda que no es la que ellos frecuentan, entonces se le declara la guerra al desgraciado, convertido en pasto de murmuraciones, cebo de calumnias, imán de censuras, presa de lenguas y blanco de ataques contra su honor. Le atribuirán lo que no ha dicho, le colgarán lo que no ha hecho, le imputarán lo que no ha proferido ni ha creído su corazón. Aunque sea hombre señalado y campeón de su ciencia, caso de no tener con el poder público relaciones que le procuren la dicha de salir indemne de los peligros y escapar de las desgracias, si se le ocurre escribir un libro, lo calumniarán, difamarán, contradirán y vejarán. Exagerarán y abultarán sus errores ligeros; censurarán hasta su más insignificante tropiezo; le negarán sus aciertos, callarán sus méritos y le apostrofarán e increparán por sus descuidos, con lo cual sentirá decaer su energía, desalentarse su alma y enfriarse su entusiasmo. Tal es, entre nosotros, la suerte del que se pone a componer un poema o a escribir un tratado: no se zafará de esas redes ni se verá libre de tales calamidades, a no ser que se marche o huya o que recorra su camino sin detenerse y de un solo golpe".
I understand it has been a quick adjustment the VP, but this is unbalanced. About the book is right. But when playing the players of North has greater advantage.The second picture I show how movements should be points and VPs. Replace two heavy blocks tree by small shrubs/trees and add high fences among them. In the late game, the tanks will be able to crush it, to greater breadth and sight of ground.3. http://s14.directupload.net/images/140721/kwaakle4.jpg There is no fence 'A' that prevents the players to pass.4. http://s7.directupload.net/images/140729/e2a88zki.jpg Eliminate trenches, by impeding the capture. The troops that capture should vault. Therefore in the process the enemy was killing it.5. http://s7.directupload.net/images/140815/rfujjrr2.jpg The vp is located correctly. But the north has more breadth to locate tanks faced the VP.The South only has entries on the roads. So the (1) forest block should be changed to shrubs you can crush tanks. This would allow for a wide range tanks south. (2) block heavy of forest.1. http://s14.directupload.net/images/140721/nmtohhti.jpg The amount of houses in this area are difficult to defend / attack the point.As a significant fuel, it is very difficult if a unit enters a house, the area is lost.Change unnecessary houses, by cannot garrison-house.Leaving 1 house for north players and 1 for south players. When it comes time to fight, will be more balanced.X white. Remove houses, trees, thick bushes, fences; to make a big entrance in the city like the north.2. http://s7.directupload.net/images/140721/a67qdjtn.jpg The big problem with this map is in the late game. When they reach the tanks, the south side has a huge advantage on the north. The land is powerful. The resected River is based on the input players have to city and entrance to VP. Resect the defined area of the river, removing bridges and adapt to this. Removal of shrubs and trees, which prevent sight and input to VP units. Removal the docks.2.1. Make forest or rocks2.2. Change by smaller trees destructible by tanks.3. http://s1.directupload.net/images/140721/cjtiaqxl.jpg Deep snow in 3 areas that interfere spawns of south.4. http://s1.directupload.net/images/140721/39yc3pjq.jpg Train this very near to small house front. Prevented the mobility of tanks.- Move the train closer to the silos- The sidewalks are too long. It is unnecessary for infantry. No need such a long ramp. Excessive length harms vehicles / tanks passing his side, causing poor maneuverability.1. http://s14.directupload.net/images/140721/l5wd2h9q.jpg The south players have better position to defend the VP, fences having more perpendicular to the north.The north has only one entrance.

Frontal had no intention of starting a war, the attacks were mostly to let the Zeon remnants let off some steam. -When Frontal says that he doesn't want to fight, he really means it, and the Neo Zeong is proof of that. -The Neo Zeong's capabilities are in order to not fight. Frontal wanted to convince Banagher up to the very end, and so to him the fight against the Unicorn and Banshee was more of a performance to break their will. -The reason Banagher didn't shoot Rony was because he's not a soldier or warrior. Even if Lony was a killer and criminal, if he'd shot her then he would've lost what makes him human. -Frontal was tired, but didn't realise it, and needed someone to tell him that. That was Lalah, as a mother figure. This made him realise that he was no longer a child, but in the position of a parent, and by becoming a father figure he could tell Banagher to go ahead and try to overcome despair. The theme of parent and child was a recurring one in the novels, but Frontal was an exception, so they decided to change that in the OVA. -Fukui wanted the time travel sequence to be just a vision, but Furuhashi felt that since the psychoframe can move entire stars it wouldn't be strange at all if they literally travelled through time. In the end they just settled on them flashing through the memories of the universe itself. -The spirits of spacenoids are forming a sort of other dimension around the Earth, and that's why Dagza and Gilbore who died could come back to help out. -Furuhashi thought they'd foreshadowed all this enough, but because apparently many people thought it was pretty sudden, he thinks this requires some reflecting on, but has no regrets. -At the beginning Frontal would only have talked to Banagher via comms, but we wanted them to meet in person. This led to the Neo Zeong's ability to take over computer systems. -Conroy not being able to shoot his comrades despite being a soldier was due to him being influenced by Banagher. -The Unicorn on its own would not have been able to stop the colony laser. At first they thought they'd have it use the Neo Zeong's shattered psychoframe, to keep it from seeming too powerful, and to make it clear that this would be a one-time miracle.
In a greenroom in the Mandalay Bay, during UFC’s International Fight Week in July, Dana White sat in a nice blue suit and lighter blue shirt and drank his pink drink. It’s not a sports drink, but rather water with some sort of zinc cold-prevention mix in there. Wherever Dana is, the drink is stealthily delivered to his side: in a Pellegrino bottle at a post-fight press conference, in a SmartWater bottle cageside. “Think about how long we’ve been on this planet,” Dana told me. I do. “There’s a woman who can kick a man’s ass and everybody around the world knows it. It’s the first time ever.” Sure, Dana White is not quite what anyone would call a feminist (or a historian). Sure, he calls these voter-age-and-beyond fighters “girls” three times as often as he ever uses the word “woman,” and regularly called me darling and honey (though, for the record, whenever I’ve asked fighters if they mind, they don’t even understand why they would or should; and though for the record I actually don’t mind being called darling or honey at all). Sure, he called another reporter a “fucking dumb bitch” for the capital crime of using an anonymous source on the hot-button topic of backstage credentials. Sure, a regular feature of his insult arsenal — an arsenal that could be housed by a small nation’s armory — is to say that a bunch of men are behaving like “bitches in a beauty salon.” But he’s a good businessman who knows what he’s here for: to entertain. Fighters who win but are boring are cut from their contracts, like Jon Fitch, one of the best welterweights around but a total snoozefest to watch (he cut him after a couple of losses that still put him at an overall record of 25–4, which is excellent). He lets them do whatever the hell they want on social media — do yourself a favor and follow the TUF 20 fighters on Twitter, though first make sure you’ve shored up tolerance for women calling one another out by differing levels of “cuntiness.” In Ronda Rousey, the bantamweight champion, Dana saw a never-ending font of drama and high-stakes nastiness, a feud at every door.
In "The Champagne Reflection", LeVar was again the guest star for Sheldon on a "Sheldon Cooper presents Fun with Flags" episode because Sheldon was willing to delete Levar's contact information from his computer which Levar would witness. On the show, Sheldon lets him view a clip of his George Washington Carver impersonation (for Black History month) that Leonard thought was "wildly racist". Levar is also shocked though Sheldon thinks that he is agreeing with his criticism of Leonard. After Sheldon restarts the "Fun with Flags" series, he goes to Levar's house and asks him to guest star on an episode about German flags since he was born in Germany to American parents. He asks Levar to dress up like a swastika and gets the door slammed in his face. Levar also says that he should have listened to Will Wheaton and gotten a gate.
Now that Korea’s HGC is upon us, Heroes of the Storm fans can easily look at the regional metagames side by side for the first time without the context of an international event. With two weeks of western games played before the start of the eastern season, the distinctiveness of the Korean drafts stood out immediately, and both North American and European teams quickly began following suit.Drafts in every region have revolved largely around Malfurion, Tassadar, and Ragnaros, but the Warrior role has been most indicative of the evolving global meta. Thanks to the Valeera patch hitting HGC just after Korea’s Week 1, the influence of KR teams on western drafts can be measured easily on sites like Master League . The western meta shifted dramatically, but the Korean one remained nearly unchanged, revealing that Korean strategy shifts western mindsets more than any patch notes ever could. A close look at the Warrior play in Korea gives a good look at to what can be expected at the Western Clash, and its continuing shifts throughout the season will inevitably ripple westward.We got our first look at a Korean-played Varian in the Gold Club World Championship, but it didn't look good. Picked once each by both MVP teams (and once by NA’s Astral Authority), Varian came out of the GCWC with a crushing 0% win rate. Since then, Varian’s warrior-leaning Taunt build has received significant buffs which gave him more pick potential and crowd control along with a massive boost to his survivability. But before being able to select his role at level 10, the hero can still be an early game liability.HGC has been the grounds for Varian to redeem himself, and it seems the Koreans have found the tool to overcome his inherent weakness: global mobility. While Falstad and Dehaka are valued in all regions, this weekend has shown that coupling their experience soak with Varian can propel the High King to a place where his power can shine. Indeed, Varian was highly contested in almost every Korean draft the first weekend with a 64% participation rate (compared with a paltry 24% in both western regions combined); he lost every match without a global to compensate for his weaknesses.North American players noticed. Week 1 of Korea was Week 3 for NA, and a few surprise Varian picks snuck in at the end.
That kind of idle relaxation is a perfect method of mediating the pacing of Skyrim’s long dungeon crawls. But those dungeon crawls still blend beautifully into the hiking part of Skyrim’s experience. I thoroughly respect Skyrim’s commitment to avoid instanced activities, and the dungeons just barely skirt the line in this regard, mostly for technical reasons. For example, in Burnout Paradise (a brilliantly designed open world in other capacities), you drive around the game world until you reach a stoplight, then get teleported to an instanced race starting at that location. That race plays out just like it would in a traditional racing game, then ends, and returns the player backed to the overworld. While this has its advantages (many of which Burnout Paradise uses), it creates a very modal game experience, where there is a clear distinction between two stages of play: racing and exploration. Most open worlds treat their content this way, most famously, Grand Theft Auto with its complex open world but simplistic, removed missions. The tradeoff, however, is that it makes the game world feel separate from its activities, and makes the activities themselves feel artificially gamey by comparison. Skyrim, on the other hand, doesn’t distinguish between these modes at all. There are a few load screens in the way, but the player can start in a city, walk outside into the world (even removing a loading screen if they have the right mods), wander until they find a dungeon or cave, enter that, complete it, and find their way back without changing the state of play. Skyrim doesn’t distinguish between game activities and open world exploration, in blends the two in a way that creates surprising moments. While walking to a quest objective, the player can stumble onto a bandit camp or find a dungeon, explore them, then get back on the path to their objective.
The atmosphere and the fans and how fun it is to play in the tournament is crazy and so much fun so I’d like to get back there one more time and go as far as we can in the tournament.And playing at Hinkle, I’m going to miss it a lot,” Jones continued. “It’s going to be crazy. I have two games left there but on Senior Night (March 5) I’m going to have a lot of emotion because those fans have meant a lot to me and the support they’ve given us over the years. It’s going to be very emotional when we play Marquette on Senior Night.”
Jose: I think we change the team, we change the dynamics, we change the way we think football, but also the way we think the competitions, and also the way we think the day-by-day in the club. I know Mr. van Gaal so well, because we worked together, and we are so so different in almost every aspect of our job, and sometimes when you arrive in a club, and the players are not so open for change, it is more difficult. The players were open, the players were waiting for me – I can say that way. They were waiting to give everything – I think we play different football. When the ball goes to a fullback, I think you see what we do this season, and what we did previously – it is an example. I think in many matches, the fullbacks are the first to receive the building-up pass, and then it is a trigger. What do you do with the trigger? You play the ball back to the central defender, or you start trying to find the lines to attack the last line? That’s what we are trying to do. Defensively, we don’t play man-to-man, we play zonal. I think the players are growing up a lot because they feel much more comfortable that way, and I am really really happy. I am really happy with the evolution of the team, and I think we can obviously do much much better because the players are very good. My substitutes on the bench are very good. Today, I was looking to the bench and I was counting the solutions – and all of them, good solutions. And I kept Ashley Young on the bench, I kept Memphis Depay at home – the solutions are all really good, the squad is much better than what they show last season. Of course, I think we bought well, but the players are better than what they show last season, so I think we are in a good direction. We are not going to be consistent, I think we are going to be a little bit down-up in some moments, because this is part of the evolution of the team, but I trust the guys a lot and my feeling is that they also trust me.
A service provider must notify a customer on a fixed-term contract at least 90 calendar days before the end of their initial commitment period whether or not the contract will be automatically extended. This notification must include the date on which the contract is set to expire; a statement informing the customer that as of that date, they can switch plans, change services providers, or cancel their service without penalty; and information explaining whether the contract will be automatically extended with the same rates, terms, and conditions, on a month-to-month basis; and if the contract is not being automatically extended, the proposed new minimum monthly charge for service going forward; At the time that a service provider offers a customer a device upgrade, the service provider must clearly explain to the customer any changes to the existing contract terms caused by accepting the new device, including any extension to the commitment period.
Today, we released the latest version of Picasa with lots of cool new features but there’s one item that we’re particularly excited about.Face movies create a movie based around one person both figuratively and literally. Instead of the usual transition from one photo to the next, the images align themselves to the face in the photo. This creates an extremely smooth viewing experience which allows the person in the photos to remain the focus rather than the transition effects themselves.Words cannot adequately describe this feature, it’s better to see it for yourself:Some more items in this release:A few weeks ago we announced the integration of Picnik, the powerful online photo editor, into Picasa Web Albums. We’re now excited to bring this same functionality to Picasa. You can now use Picnik’s rich editing tools and effects from right inside of Picasa and see where your creativity takes you.With this new version of Picasa we’re also fulfilling a popular request: batch upload from Picasa right to your Picasa Web Albums account. In addition to uploading multiple photos, you can now upload entire albums, all at the same time, plus remove albums from your Picasa Web account, change the upload size, visibility and sync state of photos that are already online.For those of us who enjoy the technical side of photography, we have some nice metadata (information stored inside of your image file) updates too, including support of Color Management. Picasa will now read the metadata from your photo and present the photo in the correct color space, thus improving the way your photo displays on your monitor or TV screen.Picasa also has expanded support of XMP, which will be presented in an easy and accessible way alongside your image in the Properties panel. You can find people, places and tags in this space as well.We’re also adding a few other under-the-hood updates such as improved support of external drives, increased efficiency of CPU usage, and improved settings when sharing with your Gmail contact groups.This latest release is in English only for now, but we plan to roll out additional languages soon. Download Picasa today and, as always, feedback and questions are welcome in our forums
"The Kraken" is one of Freeside's 3D printers, designed and built by a former member. It is the light blue printer sitting off to the side on most photos of our 3D printing zone - sadly, the machine has never printed quite right and it's been down for repairs more often than it's been usable. It's design had some major flaws, particularly in the frame that was fairly unstable. When it did print it would make great looking parts, but the bed leveling was fickle and imprecise. With the AO-100 and more recently the Mini, there wasn't a lot of reason for our members to use it.So I decided to rectify that and rebuild it completely from the ground up into a RepRap "Wilson", a popular design reworked from the Prusa i3. I chose this particular build because there are a lot of information available and a great set of info and instructions on both the RepRap wiki page about it, and the github page for the parts. It's a well known RepRap and has been tried and true by a lot of people.The other reason I chose it was because I could build the Wilson utilizing 100% of parts salvaged from the old Kraken. The goal for the rebuild was to recycle every nut and bolt and try to keep the total cost as close to zero as possible.From start to finish, the rebuild took about 3 months working off and on a few hours a week. The initial tear down took a couple of hours at the end of November 2015, where everything was counted and bagged and boxed up. At that point I ordered some new ABS to print the frame parts, and a couple weeks printing things on both the Mini, and my personal 3D printers at home. In trying to keep with the look of the old machine, I printed in "Sky Blue" ABS. The final product is actually really nice to look at!While I was in the process of building The Kraken, I decided to go ahead and build my own Wilson from parts from a failed RepRap build of my own last year. So in a lot of these photos you will see an identical looking black Wilson.

Whatever car you're in the market for duPont Registry can help you find it.Don’t take our word for it. Look what our customers think.To whom it may concern:This letter is to express my appreciation to the duPont Registry staff for their efforts. I recently sold a 1964 Porsche 356C coupe as a direct result of advertising through the duPont Registry, the magazine publication of duPont Publications, Inc. Thereaches a world wide group of qualified buyers of exotic, luxury, and collector's vehicles. My advertisement ran in their October, November, and December issues (2014), the annual months of valuable exposure to the automobile auction market. Sharing advertising space with professional dealers and brokers gave me access to a limited but prestigious buyer group. The magazine's advertisement space that was provided for me equaled that of the dealers and brokers. I enjoyed numerous referrals through secure email notices; my following up on the referrals was simplified through duPont Registry. I contacted those who expressed interest and informed them of my advertisement in the duPont Registry web site, which described the car in detail (photographs, description, technical specifications, and the vehicle’s history). The web site advertisement (which ran until my exotic car was sold) was changed, corrected, or modified at my requests; all responses by the magazine staff were timely or immediate. When the duPont Registry initially exposed my, I received many requests for more detailed information. Word of mouth then became apparent by the increased number of inquiries I received.
Many of these drawbacks can be overcome as needed, for instance by planning for heavy computational processing, using specialised storage and visualisation platforms, using scaling algorithms or other adjustments, correcting for multiple comparisons, calculating effect size in addition to significance, and thoroughly characterising the population sample to ensure sample representativeness. With these caveats in mind, the present study uses big data to examine correlations between the AQ and selected available demographic variables (age, sex, occupation, and UK geographic region). We examined a very large set of AQ data collected following the screening of the UK Channel 4 television program Embarrassing Bodies: Live from the Clinic. A study of this nature is important because it offers the opportunity to test to findings reported in smaller samples. Secondly, it offers the opportunity to investigate the AQ in a large data set, since signals of small effect size might not be apparent in smaller samples. Finally, it offers the opportunity to use regression modelling to disentangle the influence of several factors on AQ. We hypothesized that sex and occupation would predict autistic traits, whilst age and geographical region would not. These predictions were based on previous research showing that, in the general population, males on average have higher AQ scores than do females [16]. In addition, individuals who work in fields that require high ‘systemizing’ (the drive to analyse or build rule-based systems) such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), show higher levels of autistic traits as measured by AQ than do those working in non-STEM fields [1,17–20]. The increased prevalence of individuals with autism in regions that are rich in jobs in Information Technology (IT) [21] also leads to the prediction that AQ will be higher in those working in STEM than in non-STEM jobs. In contrast, previous studies have not found that AQ is influenced by age and whilst small fluctuations in AQ have been reported across cultures [22,23], these may reflect subtle differences in the meanings in translations of items into languages (the AQ has now been translated into approximately 30 languages (http://www.autismresearchcentre.com/arc_tests), and we had no reason to expect that geographic region within the UK would correlate with AQ.

My relatives were all pleading with me to yield to pressure and I finally gave in. [136] Police placed about 190 Gimry residents on the operative control list and collected saliva samples from them, according to local residents. Starting in late 2013 or early 2014 and through the time of Human Rights Watch’s January 2015 visit in the region, officials at checkpoints routinely detained them at checkpoints when leaving or entering the area and interrogated them at the Shamilkala police precinct. The police would ask them about the reason for their trip, sometimes photograph them, and have them fingerprinted, despite the fact that they had all been photographed and fingerprinted earlier. As a result, every trip required between two and four hours at the checkpoint and the police station, which proved frustrating and disruptive especially when they were traveling on business. [137] One interviewee told Human Rights Watch: They [police] don’t care if you have a meeting or another obligation. They just hold you there asking you the same set of questions: where are you going, for which purpose, how to you feel about Wahhabism. On one occasion, an officer kept pressing me, “So, how come you aren’t in the woods yet? A few of your relations have been there for a while, what’s stopping you? Why won’t you join them?” It feels like they’re actually trying to push me out, make me run for the forest. They aren’t letting me have a normal life. And it’s the same for many others. [138] Forty-year-old Akhmed Akhmedov, a resident of Makhachkala who has been on the “operative search” registrar since January 2014, said that between mid-January and mid-September police officials detained him for questioning approximately ten times. On one of those occasions, in August 2014, Akhmedov was driving with his newborn baby, wife, and sister when the police stopped his car and took the entire family to a police precinct where they interrogated Akhmedov for three hours while keeping the two women and the baby in the fenced-in yard despite the stifling heat. When Akhmedov asked the police why he was being subject to systematic detentions, they said that they were doing it to all “Wahhabis” to keep them under control. Akhmedov then inquired how they identified Wahhabis and the reply was, “By their beards.

Readable fiction is not the problem; rather, “readable” as a — especially as our highest — term of praise is. Readability tells one precisely nothing about the quality of a novel. There are good and bad readable books; high, low, and most definitely middlebrow ones. Given the tenor of our times, it is perhaps readable books that we need least, however. It is books that slow us down and teach us to concentrate again that we need. Books that force us to attend to language, and ideas, and the forgotten weirdness of the world. Don DeLillo, master of the gnomic, aphoristic sentence, each one calling for your attention, has said that he doesn’t think his first novel, Americana, would be published today, that any editor would have given up before making it through 50 pages. A great but strange book like Tom McCarthy’s Remainder was rejected by mainstream presses and only found life, slowly, through the art world. But these are the sorts of books we need. To embrace a literary culture of Tartts and Franzens, even Ferrentes and Knausgaards, may not be to settle for Budweiser. But it is to limit oneself to lager and pilsner when there are porters and stouts, black, white, and session IPAs, even sours and wilds to be had. It is to drink Stella and Bass when Dogfish Head, Lefthand, Nighshift, and countless others are readily available. The beer critic who claims that Budweiser, or even Yuengling, is actually worth your time is either trolling you, or a corporate shill. So too the literati if the best they can recommend is the latest readable bestseller. So: critics, reviewers, blurbers, tell us not what we are able to read, but what we should. It is no accident that The Underground Railroad, rather than the far superior Intuitionist or John Henry Days, finally allowed Colson Whitehead to break through, but, if you’re only now hearing of him, read those earlier books instead, or too. Read anything by Dana Spiotta, or Ben Marcus, or Lydia Davis, or Steven Millhauser. Read Adam Ehrlich Sachs’s hilarious and thoughtful Inherited Disorders. Read any of the novels recovered and republished each year by NYRB Classics. Read Teju Cole’s Open City, and Michel Houellebecq’s The Map and the Territory. Read the beautiful alliterative sentences of William Gass. Read Dexter Palmer’s Version Control, rather than the 102 more popular time travel books ahead of it on Amazon.
Qualification Launches 12 & 13 (No Nationals This Year) 3-29 & 31-2014 ~ Blog #606 (David) I just looked at the dates of our launches and a calendar and now understand why Joan and I are so spent. In the last ten days of March we had five launches. Each launch takes hours and our launch site is relatively far from Tallmadge. I also spend quite a bit of time prepping, planning, coordinating with judges, meeting with Rocket Team at school, collecting transportation forms, repairing the launch pad, completing paperwork, etc. We also work and I had an especially busy end of a quarter in the middle of all of this. The bottom line is that non of our five IHM teams qualified this year. I didn't expect any teams to, but figured they each had a chance. In the middle of March things really started coming together; teams were looking at good numbers. Many flights were within 10 to 15 feet of the 825' target and times were close to the 49 second target. Scored had to be submitted by March 31st at midnight. My estimates that the Top 100 cut off of combined best two out of three flights would be: 30 - almost certain 40 - I thought it would be around here 50 - Possible, but not likely 60 - Absolute upper limit; I would not even bother getting worked up with scores above this point The actual cut off, published yesterday, was 52.1. We took our first qualification flights on Saturday the 29th. After destroying their primary rocket on the 26th, Team 2 threw together a new rocket similar to the first one that they burned up. It flew well and they decided to take a qualification shot. They posted a 32.56 which is decent. Team 4 took a shot and DQed due to a broken egg. Team 5 took all three shots. Flight 1 scored a 106.4. Flight 2 flew way too high and they cracked an egg. Their third flight was only off the target altitude by three feet! Their score on that flight would have been 9.8 had the shock cord not separated and the rocket returned as one unit. We planned on taking our remaining shots on Sunday; it was supposed to be decent but the winds picked up to 19 MPH, so we cancelled the launch since Monday's weather looked beautiful. Monday was beautiful and calm, as predicted.
My mom always had something bad to say about my Dad, spreading rumors around my grandmother’s house. It became so natural to her that she brainwashed me to not like my Dad as much as a child just because of what they were going through. But, the whole time I was so young and dumb that I didn’t realize that my dad was one of the best things that had ever happened to me.
As such, she simultaneously served as web editor, social media manager and editor that day of the week.Monty was unsparing in her criticism of Gannett, which in August announced plans to separate its profitable television and online properties from its underperforming print products "The way people ingest news is changing and Gannett has been slow to adapt," she said. "I don't see any of their newsrooms succeeding and neither do they. That's why they severed them from broadcast. "Referring to the recent departure of Free Press publisher Jim Fogler , who decamped for a job at Party City last month, Monty said, "When our publisher jumped ship, I knew it was over. "Monty had kinder words for her former coworkers. "I will miss my colleagues and I wish them all the best," she said. "It's been an honor to learn and work alongside them."
I’m told that I’ve got no future with my career because no one will touch me. I hope that’s not true because I don’t think any fair person knowing the truth would wish that on me. For everyone else this is a cautionary tale: don’t make brash judgments on others, and certainly don’t put them on instagram.
Drug-induced psychotic patients were found to have better premorbib histories and prognostic indicators than the nondrug groups. There was no difference in rates of family history of psychiatric illness. However, several issues flaw this study. One is the poly-drug abusing nature of the "LSD-induced" psychotic patients, compared to the controls. The role of LSD, therefore, in causing or precipitating these symptomatic disorders, is open to dispute. The other is the lack of an adequate comparison control group, i.e. the controls were specified only as "psychotic," and did not necessarily match the LSD group in either symptoms or diagnostic classification. A follow-up study of the patients occured between 2 and 6 years later. One half did well and one half did poorly, although the lack of a control group for a follow-up in a similarly symptomatic control group makes interpretation of the data difficult.Roy, in a somewhat different design, compared chronic schizophrenic patients (diagnosed according to DSM-III criteria) who had used LSD within the week preceding hospitalization, and found no difference in age of symptom onset or hospitalization compared to patients without a history of illicit drug use.Vardy and Kay, in an elegant study with a 3- and 5- year follow-up period, demonstrated that patients hospitalized for a schizophrenic picture that developed within two weeks of LSD use (patients with other diagnoses were explicitly excluded form comparisons with non-drug-using schizophrenics) were "fundamentally similar to schizophrenics in geneology, phenomenology, and course of illness (165, p. 877). Pre- morbid adjustment, age of onset of symptoms and hospitalization, family history of psychosis or suicide, and most cognitive features were also equal between groups. Family histories of alcohol abuse were markedly great in the LSD group.I believe these data, taken as a whole, limited as they are in terms of comparing subgroups (i.e. LSD-using vs. non-LSD-using) of "schizophrenia- like" disorders, point towar, at most, a possible precipitory role in the development of these disorders, in a non specific and not etiologically related manner.LSD does not form "crystals" that reside in the body to be "dislodged" later, causing flashbacks. LSD is a crystalline solid (though it is unlikely that one would ever have enough to be visible to the naked eye) but it is easily water soluble, thus cannot form bodily deposits. Furthermore, it is metabolized and excreted in hours.
Cooperative health insurers (or co-ops) created under a federal grant and loan program in the Affordable Care Act seem to be falling like dominoes. It started in February, when CoOportunity Health, which operated in Iowa and Nebraska, was ordered into liquidation. In July, Louisiana’s insurance department announced it was shuttering that state’s co-op. The following month brought news that Nevada’s co-op would also close. On September 25, New York ordered the shutdown of Health Republic Insurance of New York, which had the largest enrollment of all of the co-ops. Then, within the space of a week in mid-October, the number of failures doubled from four to eight, as state insurance regulators announced that they were closing the co-ops in Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado, and one of the two in Oregon. Last week came news that South Carolina’s co-op will be closed, followed this week by the announcement that Utah’s co-op is also being shut down. In sum, of the 24 Obamacare co-ops funded with federal tax dollars, one (Vermont’s) never got approval to sell coverage, a second (CoOportunity) has already been wound down, and nine more will terminate at the end of this year. So what is behind this, so far, 46 percent failure rate? To start with, the program was a congressional exercise in not merely reinventing the wheel, but doing a bad job of it. Far from being a new idea, member-owned insurance companies—called “mutual” insurers—have a long history. For instance, life insurer Northwestern Mutual has been in business for over 150 years. Health insurers organized as mutual companies include, among others, Blue Cross plans in 10 states. Indeed, one of them, Florida Blue, converted into a policyholder-owned mutual company just last year. If having more health insurers owned by their policyholders was the goal, then there was no need for federal government action. On the other hand, if the goal was to increase competition by stimulating the creation of new health insurers, then the ACA’s co-op program was, like other parts of the legislation, badly designed. * * * The program offered federal loans and grants to startup insurers but required that they be non-profits, not have anyone affiliated with an existing health insurer on their boards, and not spend any of their federal funding on marketing.
