He wrote that "[a] medium and long term policy must henceforth be formulated in order to bring about economic cooperation through a combination of Arab manpower reserves and raw materials, and European technology and 'management'".In fact, according to Ye'or, ever since the first General Commission meeting in Luxembourg (1976) "every EAD meeting passed resolutions in support of Arab immigration, labor, and employment in Europe", resolutions that were reaffirmed in subsequent meetings [iii].Several immigration policies were also enacted by the EEC, like the 1978 Damascus Declaration, which gave immigrants the right to retain their cultural traditions and not integrate into the secular European culture of their host nation. Other policies, such as from the Hamburg Symposium (1983), have given immigrants the opportunity to "enjoy all the political, cultural, social, and religious rights of the host country". In addition, Arabs have called for "special privileges" for Arab immigrants, including equal work opportunities, and have demanded that host countries "provide immigrants with vocational training, freedom of movement, suitable living conditions, and financial aid should they decide to return to their homeland". Muslims have also insisted on the "partial incorporation of shari'a into European civil law"; since the early 1980s Islamic Sharia Councils founded in Europe have created "a parallel unofficial Islamic legal system" [iv].Even the selection, by Europe, of source countries for immigrants have not escaped Islamic scrutiny and external Arab demands, as illustrated in the early 2000s, when the EU was on the brink of enlargement by the admission of ten Eastern European countries. The Arab States of the Mediterranean were concerned that such enlargement would affect them financially as well as affect their status as "Europe's privileged source of immigration". In response to these fears, in February 2003 the Euro-Mediterranean Study Commission ( EuroMeSCo ) issued a report that stressed that the main sources of immigration into the EU would be primarily from Muslim countries (Turkey, the countries to the east of Central and Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean Arab countries). Then, in October 2003, the High-Level Advisory Group of the European Commission issued a report that predicted that Arab Muslims along with the Muslim populations of Bulgaria, the Balkans, and Turkey, and the Turkish Muslim populations in Germany and Austria, would contribute to the "diversification of European Islam" [v].On top of these developments, Ye'or points out that host populations have been required to "satisfy" and adapt to the "religious, cultural, and social requirements" of Muslims immigrants.
On the contrary, others, considering only the subject of filiation, which is the person or hypostasis, put only one filiation in Christ, just as there is but one hypostasis or person. Because the unity or plurality of a relation is considered in respect, not of its terms, but of its cause or of its subject. For if it were considered in respect of its terms, every man would of necessity have in himself two filiations—one in reference to his father, and another in reference to his mother. But if we consider the question aright, we shall see that every man bears but one relation to both his father and his mother, on account of the unity of the cause thereof. For man is born by one birth of both father and mother: whence he bears but one relation to both. The same is said of one master who teaches many disciples the same doctrine, and of one lord who governs many subjects by the same power. But if there be various causes specifically diverse, it seems that in consequence the relations differ in species: wherefore nothing hinders several such relations being in the same subject. Thus if a man teach grammar to some and logic to others, his teaching is of a different kind in one case and in the other; and therefore one and the same man may have different relations as the master of different disciples, or of the same disciples in regard to diverse doctrines. Sometimes, however, it happens that a man bears a relation to several in respect of various causes, but of the same species: thus a father may have several sons by several acts of generation. Wherefore the paternity cannot differ specifically, since the acts of generation are specifically the same. And because several forms of the same species cannot at the same time be in the same subject, it is impossible for several paternities to be in a man who is the father of several sons by natural generation. But it would not be so were he the father of one son by natural generation and of another by adoption.

They said that highlighting the fact these products contained fruit, despite having high levels of added sugar, was misleading parents into believing that they were buying a healthy option. 6/104 Spending half the day on your feet Office workers should abandon their chairs for half their working day to reduce their risk of heart attacks, cancer, or diabetes, according to new guidance recommending people spend at least two hours – and preferably four – a day on their feet. AFP/Getty Images 7/104 Turns out chocolate doesn't make you lose weight A journalist seeking to lay bare how the research behind fad diets can be “meaningless” and based on “terrible science”, has revealed how he tricked international media into believing that chocolate can aid weightloss. Posing as Johannes Bohannon, Ph.D, the research director of the fabricated Institute of Diet and Health, biologist and science journalist John Bohannon ran what he called a “fairly typical study” used in the field of diet research. Amanda Edwards/Getty Images 8/104 'Personalised' cancer vaccine A cancer vaccine that is tailor-made to work on individual patients has come a step closer following a study showing that a prototype injection causes the complete control of aggressive tumours in laboratory mice. The therapeutic vaccine works by stimulating the body’s own immune system to identify and attack cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. Scientists said that it could be a blueprint for “personalised” cancer vaccines targeted against the specific tumour cells of each individual patient and that they have already begun early clinical trials on seven patients suffering from skin cancer.

In a year-long survey, researchers found that, overall, e-cigarette users were no more likely to quit smoking than non-users. However, nearly a third of smokers who used “tank”-style e-cigarettes every day quit smoking, compared with only 11 per cent of “cigalike” e-cigarette users, and 13 per cent of non-users.

Psychosis, suicidal thoughts, depression and hallucinations are among the mental-health problems associated with Lariam, also known as mefloquine.
Therefore, the organisers are looking for a thread manufacturer who would be the official sponsor of the project in exchange for materials. Talks and negotiations with one of them are being held.
Why buy from Japan? In the modern globalized world similar goods are sold on American Ebay, Chinese Taobao and Japanese Yahoo. Sometimes it is difficult to decide which shopping platform is better. One reason to buy from Japan is because it's safe. The chance of getting cheated by a seller is very low compared to other international bidding and shopping environments. The second reason to choose Japan is quality. Japan is still a symbol of superior quality. This applies not only to products, but also to services. When buying goods from Japan, you can be sure that all Japanese sellers will do their job properly. You can also be sure that your products will be safely delivered as soon as possible to our warehouse. ZenMarket is also trying hard to meet these high Japanese quality standards. Products sold online in Japan are good quality even if they are imported from other countries. The third reason is the availability of all different goods in great abundance. Japan is a paradise for shopaholics. Japan is still the leader in many industries, and that's the reason why you can find a lot of electronic devices, cosmetics, clothes and other unique products that you cannot buy in your home country. In Japanese online shops or auctions you can find goods which are available only in Japan: Japanese anime figures, Japanese fishing goods, Japanese antiques, Japanese traditional goods, Japanese sweets and many other items unique to Japan. We are sure you will find something you like in Japanese online marketplaces and auctions. Just try searching.

And then this show began. And this was an entirely novel understanding of roast that equates itself with bullying. And to my utmost horror, I soon realized that the only quality they found worth roasting about in me was my skin tone. It began with “ aap ko jamun bahut pasand hoga zaroor… kitna jamun khaya aapne bachpan se?” And went on in that direction… the only thing they could roast about a dark-skinned actress was of course her dark skin. They could identify me only with that. I could not believe I was sitting in a nationally televised comedy show in 2016 in Mumbai amid such regressive( I cant call it humor), and blatantly racist content. Though I was feeling suffocated, I decided to give it another chance, and sat through another equally offensive segment. Nothing changed. I could not sit there anymore. I had to leave. When I told the organisers what I felt, they said , “But we told you it is a roast!” I explained to them the common perception of roast and how it is different from bully. That there is no humor value in a joke about some ones physical attributes especially one that stems from deep prejudices. I don’t think they got it. Some friends also told me don’t take it so seriously, it’s just a comedy. I think that’s what the show also thinks. It’s all fun and games! Except there is nothing funny about this. Precisely because -In a country where we still sell fair n lovely/handsome and show adverts, where people don’t get jobs because of their complexion, where every matrimonial advert demands a fair bride or groom and the color bias is so strong, in a society which has a deep-seated problem with dark skin, which also has deep roots in our caste system, in a country where dark skin is marginalized, making fun of it is not roast. Even considering that dark skin is a joke comes from that very deep prejudice. And I tried to explain why this is not personal and it is a larger issue about what our mindset is. And why cracking jokes about deep biases in our society is irresponsible. And that it is not a question about apologizing to me, but propagating this idea and continuing with this mindset in the name of comedy is what is hugely problematic, specially because it is a popular show on a nationalized Chanel.
Do you feel like you were, or are, a Club Kid? Marilyn Manson: I found myself in New York City, around 1992, getting let into Limelight by Michael Alig at the height of the Club Kids (90s clique of underground clubbers). And it was a truly great fucking era. Michael Musto, Pat Fields – people that would become part of the fabric of my very existence. All that led me to Leigh Bowery, and that led me to Salvador Dalí, and that led to dada, and that led me to Andy Warhol, and satanism, Schiaparelli, you know, many laces in the shoes of fashion. I guess, looking back, I was probably more a fan of Club Kids than I was part of creating it. It was an interesting and strange time, and very important, I suppose, in the history of – of everything. In fashion and in my life. Living in Florida, I had a very limited budget, so I had to shoplift make-up from Albertsons grocery stores. I had this strange ability to find the best and the worst at places like the Salvation Army. Meanwhile, in New York, this whole thing was happening that I was unaware of. When I got there, I felt one part embraced by it and one part in awe of it. But the part about the fashion world that I enjoyed was all the different people. I’ve gotten to work with Vivienne Westwood, Hedi Slimane, Marc Jacobs, Jean Paul Gaultier, Galliano… This all sounds like I’m Patrick Bateman in American Psycho as I say it, but it’s enjoyable for me to be a puppet for fashion designers or photographers. I don’t always like to be in charge of everything. Sometimes I like people to use me as a palette. I always said, from the beginning, that my idols were Madonna, Prince and Bowie, so (it makes sense that) I like to collaborate with geniuses. It makes me feel like part of a bigger picture. I get criticised a lot by my closest friends – they say to stop ruining everything, because every show or magazine or movie I really love I just force myself into. “It’s so vexing, to make sure I enjoy the dream while it’s happening, because sometimes there’s a lot going on, bad and good... as a human being, I do have more than one dimension” — Marilyn Manson Is that the best part of being Marilyn Manson?
Some do it for the sheer adrenaline of dancing their way up to the sky, while others like to bathe in the fame. But what could possibly determine you to torture your body by driving you racecar across the US to take part in the competition?With rock-hard suspension, no AC in June and, Andrei Mitrasca, the guy we're here to talk about, did it because he wants to set a new record for the diesel class.Before driving hisfrom New York to Pikes Peak (the masochistic pleasures of low budgets), Andrei had come some 5,000 miles (8,000 km) all the way from Romania, Europe. In fact, Andrei is the first Romanian driver to have steered his way up PP.I've known him for almost a decade now and the thing I like most about this guy is that he's never given up on his dream, despite life seeming determined to keep him outside of fireproof clothing.Before we go any further, I have to explain I'll be addressing his vehicle as Ruxi (you can read it as "Roo-Xi"), the name she's received ever since 2009 when she became Andrei's friend for life.Ruxi started out in life as a warm diesel hatch. The previous-gen SEAT Ibiza was powered by a 130 hp 1.9. Andrei's ambition somehow reminds me of the time when the VW Group wanted to demonstrate their Pumpe Düse (PD) camshaft-actuated injectors were superior to the common rail (CR) technology the rest of the industry had adopted.Make no mistake though - the PD lost to the CR mostly due to refinement and efficiency reasons, but Andrei is here to race and performance is where this kind of injectors shine.Still, it wasn't meant to be this year and it was all due to the challenges this racing driver has had to face.The best example of this is the "limp mode" caprices his 1.9-liter TDI has shown this year.Now and then when he cornered hard in second gear, the limp mode virus showed up, causing him to lose precious seconds. The problem did go away, but only to return after a random number of turns.Andrei crossed the finish line though, after remaining immune to events such as the hailstorm that hit this year's race. The weather was so vicious that the 12.42-miles (22 km) course was brought down to a third of that.
The teaching level focuses on first-time players who need to know the basics, like how to build a tank and go kill the bad guys. The reference level should answer any question the player can think of about how a game mechanic works. It is perfectly fine, by the way, to put this info inside of a separate in-game resource, like the Civilopedia in theseries.implemented an interesting version of this two-interface idea. Most of the popup help in the game had an "advanced" mode that you could unlock by holding down a key, giving you significantly more details about the game's underlying mechanics.The temptation to pile extra units and buildings and whatnot onto to an already complete design is strong. I have seen many developers describe games as simply a collection of stuff ("18 Weapons! 68 Monsters! 29 Levels!"). This approach is wrong-headed. A game design is a collection of interesting decisions, and the "stuff" in the game is there not just to fill space but to let you execute decisions. Games can provide too few options for the player but -- more commonly -- games provide too many.How many is just right? Obviously, there is no magic number, but it is possible to come up with a good rule-of-thumb for how many different options a player can keep in his or her mind before everything turns to mush. Blizzard uses the number 12 to make sure their RTS games don't get too complex.averaged 12 units per side. So did(not counting). And you can bet thatis going to be in that neighborhood as well. In fact, Blizzard has already announced that for, the developers will be removing some of the old units to make room for the new ones. Players must be able to mentally track their in-game options at one time, and putting too many choices on the table makes it impossible to understand the possibility space.No matter how good your game is, it is going to get stale after awhile. It's unfortunate when a great game doesn't take the few steps necessary so that players can change the settings to create alternate play experiences.is an incredible tactical RTS; a watershed moment for the genre�but the game allows neither Axis vs. Axis battles nor matches of more than two teams. This design choice may fit the universe of WWII, but it significantly reduced the game's play variety.An example of an RTS that got this right is theseries.
While the recent record high temperatures in 2014, 2015, and 2016 should put to bed any notion that global warming has somehow stopped, the relatively slow rate of warming in prior years is still of scientific interest.The differences between the old NOAA, new NOAA, and Hadley datasets over the past 18 years occur during a period of unprecedented expansion in our ocean monitoring capabilities. Before the mid-1990s almost all our ocean temperature measurements came from ships, mostly through engine room intake valves. Ship measurements can be problematic, as they will be affected by the depth of the hull, the speed of the ship, and other factors that will change over time.Today we have thousands of buoys floating around the ocean taking temperatures and sending the data up to satellites automatically. We have thousands of robotic Argo floats that dive deep down into the ocean, and take measurements as they come back up. We also have multiple advanced radiometer satellites that can measure the heat radiating off the ocean's surface.The challenge with the NOAA and Hadley records is that both are trying to combine measurements from different instruments and different types of ships into a single continuous record, and this requires a number of judgement calls. In our study we created three new instrumentally homogenous sea surface temperature records, one using only data from buoys, one using only data from Argo floats, and one using only data from satellite radiometers. These records are all from one type of instrument, and do not require any adjustments for changing instrument types.It turns out that data from buoys, satellites, and Argo floats all largely agree with the new NOAA ocean temperature record. They show a strong cool bias in the old NOAA record and a modest, yet significant, cool bias in the Hadley record and the Japanese record. These results provide a strong independent validation of the controversial updates that NOAA made to their temperature record in 2015.Our results suggest that there is a cool bias in ship data in recent years that does not show up in the higher-quality buoy data or satellite or Argo data and that needs to be addressed in the Hadley record moving forward. In general, we should try and rely more on buoys and other automated measurement systems that sit directly in the water going forward.Featured image courtesy of flickr
The camera can record videos with 5-axis OIS and EIS technology for a stable shoot. It supports 4K video capturing, slow motion video capturing and 360-degree surround sound recording using all the handset's four microphones. Also talked about is the feature where the audio is focussed on the subject when zoomed. There is a 16MP front-facing camera with 16MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture.Besides the HTC Boomsound-powered speaker, the smartphone comes with UFS 2.1 storage version for better read and write speeds. It is backed by a 3000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 tech.The IP67 rated dust and water resistant smartphone comes as the third in the 'U' family introduced by the company this year. The other two smartphones that have been launched in the same family are the U Ultra and the U Play. The smartphone is launched in Amazing Silver and Brilliant Black colour options.
I kamikaze in with the Hatchetman to get out of the FS9s arc and go for a hatchet attack (I'm 1.9" away here). First I eat a 2 point short range hit (no critical) but manage to strip 3 armor off the MAD with my hatchet. If I die now I at least advanced the objective.Next Seriul wins initiative (finally) and goes agressive. I hide my badly wounded Hatchetman around the cliff while the Marauder lumbers up the hill, and the warhammer loses his rear arc to the FS9, taking heat and damage all at once. Since he didn't shoot though, he clears the heat at least. I miss my shot on the FS9 making for a pretty solid turn for Seriul.The battle shifts again as the Marauder moves back down the hill for cover, the Warhammer moves around the cliff for a clear shot, and I'm left to deal with the FS9 that has his rear arc again. The Firestarter misses his short range rear arc shot by 1, and then the MAD & WHM punch each other in the face. The WHM does 3 @ short vs the MADs 2, and I tomahawk the Firestarter with a Melee hit. I'm down to 2 internal but hanging in there. The WHM goes internal at this point I think, picking up a Weapon Systems crit. The Marauder goes critical as well, with an Engine Crit.The next couple rounds are awesome. The MAD keeps backpedaling to protect his rear and trading shots with the WHM. I can't catch him (as we're the same speed) so instead I just keep missing. The WHM takes a sensor hit now, just barely clinging to a sliver of internal structure. The last turn, they both go Standstill to ensure they hit. I'm charging over for a finishing shot with the hatchet, but they both blast each other at medium range, killing each other simultaneously.The Hatchetman returned to base, taking credit for both kills since his battle recorder malfunctioned mysteriously.A draw.They both had a good time, and are anxious to try a fight with larger forces, as losing initiative with 2 units really strips your ability to make tactical decisions.I'll continue this post with the Veteran and Elite scenarios, and then we'll be doing some 400 PV battles in the big city maps I made last year!
Lorenzen states that the establishment of a Hindu self-identity took place "through a process of mutual self-definition with a contrasting Muslim Other". According to Lorenzen, this "presence of the Other" is necessary to recognise the "loose family resemblance" among the various traditions and schools, According to the Indologist Alexis Sanderson, before Islam arrived in India, the "Sanskrit sources differentiated Vaidika, Vaiṣṇava, Śaiva, Śākta, Saura, Buddhist, and Jaina traditions, but they had no name that denotes the first five of these as a collective entity over and against Buddhism and Jainism." This absence of a formal name, states Sanderson, does not mean that the corresponding concept of Hinduism did not exist. By late 1st-millennium CE, the concept of a belief and tradition distinct from Buddhism and Jainism had emerged. This complex tradition accepted in its identity almost all of what is currently Hinduism, except certain antinomian tantric movements. Some conservative thinkers of those times questioned whether certain Shaiva, Vaishnava and Shakta texts or practices were consistent with the Vedas, or were invalid in their entirety. Moderates then, and most orthoprax scholars later, agreed that though there are some variations, the foundation of their beliefs, the ritual grammar, the spiritual premises and the soteriologies were same. "This sense of greater unity", states Sanderson, "came to be called Hinduism". According to Nicholson, already between the 12th and the 16th centuries "certain thinkers began to treat as a single whole the diverse philosophical teachings of the Upanishads, epics, Puranas, and the schools known retrospectively as the 'six systems' (saddarsana) of mainstream Hindu philosophy." The tendency of "a blurring of philosophical distinctions" has also been noted by Burley. Hacker called this "inclusivism" and Michaels speaks of "the identificatory habit". Lorenzen locates the origins of a distinct Hindu identity in the interaction between Muslims and Hindus, and a process of "mutual self-definition with a contrasting Muslim other",[note 13] which started well before 1800. Michaels notes: As a counteraction to Islamic supremacy and as part of the continuing process of regionalization, two religious innovations developed in the Hindu religions: the formation of sects and a historicization which preceded later nationalism [...] [S]aints and sometimes militant sect leaders, such as the Marathi poet Tukaram (1609–1649) and Ramdas (1608–1681), articulated ideas in which they glorified Hinduism and the past.
This semester, I was part of a course that focused on radical women in social movements. We studied the Black Power Movement, the Black Panther Party (BPP), and the involvement of women during this time.The Black Panther Party, founded in the 1960s, was notorious for being a revolutionary organization that fought for the liberation of Blacks in the United States. With the brilliant activists, community organizers, writers, and thinkers who graced its membership, the BPP is primarily regarded as a male-dominated space and projected itself as such. However, like in most revolutionary movements, there were many women who served important and influential roles. These women made sure they occupied leadership positions, and implemented programs that were vital to the success of the Party and the overall uplifting of the Black community. They also called out sexism within the BPP, never afraid to make their presence known as women.However, their faces seldom grace historical narratives about the Black Panther Party. This list is meant to shine some light on a handful of these women. Although women initially occupied few formal governance positions within the BPP, they played strategic roles as male leadership of the party increasingly faced political repression, incarceration, or exile. With information from the article, " Engendering the Black Freedom Struggle Revolutionary Black Womanhood and the Black Panther Party in the Bay Area, California " and other sources, we look at their contributions below. Kathleen Cleaver , like many female revolutionaries, had been exposed to many international experiences during her involvement with the Black Panthers. She joined the foreign service and was able to travel to countries such as Sierra Leone, Liberia, India, and the Philippines. She later returned to the United States and attended Barnard College, where she became more involved in the Civil Rights Movement. She then left college to work full-time for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Within a year in the SNCC, she met Eldridge Cleaver, whom she married. They would both join the Black Panther Party, with Kathleen becoming the BPP's National Communications Secretary and helping to organize the campaign to get party leader Huey P. Newton released from prison. She was also the first woman to be appointed to the Black Panther’s Central Committee. Kathleen ended up fleeing to Mexico and later Algeria with her husband.
"I started in 1997 and Wanderlei was on the big stage already back then. I was in college and dreaming of being a main event or champion fighter and this guy was already there. I called it then I would kick that guy's ass right now. "Back then Wanderlei was a big bully and everyone backed down from him. I don't even say this as insult because it was working for him. He had everyone intimidated and I was the only guy calling him out. I was calling Wanderlei out when everyone was scared of him. And he never knew how to handle it. "I've dealt with bullies my entire life and they all act the same way when you stand up to them," he added. "They freakin' cower and he was no different. He's out there saying he couldn't find fights and I was there begging to fight him. I would see him at the gym or backstage at events and he wouldn't even look at me. He wants to be a bully and I have no problem with it. Just say my name. "Despite hovering circumstances at hand Sonnen guarantees he will show up to fight on June 24, and he'll do so because fighting is something he's always done. When that specific topic came to call during the conversation, Sonnen paused before attempting to work through a mystery that has been baffling him as of late.The definition of what it meant to be a fighter is a reality Sonnen has known and lived for as long as he can remember, but he believes the meaning behind the word has been watered down and altered as a new generation of competitors has risen to stardom on the biggest stages in the sport today. "Somewhere along the line the word 'fighter' became corrupted in my lifetime," Sonnen said. "It used to be about who could get up and move forward when the chips were down. Who could get up and move forward when it was the toughest thing to do. That's what a fighter was, but now I have no idea what the kids of today would define a fighter as. "I read some stuff that Ronda [Rousey] put out--and I'm a personal fan of hers--but I was stunned at some of the stuff I read. It had me sitting there saying, 'Ronda, you're not a fighter. You understand one thing and that's aggression.
back to news News Attention! This news was published on the old version of the website. There may be some problems with news display in specific browser versions. Ba.88 Lince: A Wild Spirit The Italian attacker aircraft was named after the lynx, it entered service in the initial stages of the Second World War. This vehicle’s actual combat history is pitifully meagre, although the Ba.88 could have shown itself to better advantage under different circumstances. The Ba.88 Lince (“lynx”) is an Italian attacker aircraft produced by the well-known Breda company. The Lynx’s first flight took place in October of 1936, and serial production began in 1939. History: ▼ Initially, the aircraft was intended as a heavy fighter aircraft, but after equipping the prototype with the armament, it was clear that the structure was overloaded and that the Lynx had serious maneuverability problems. Its first taste of combat was on June 16, in an attack on several French airfields. After extremely brief combat operations against France, the squadrons furnished with Ba.88s were sent to the scorching deserts of Libya. The aircraft’s Piaggio P.XI-RC40 radial engines were not built to deal with the dry and dusty climate, and so all attempts to use the Ba.88 in battle ended in failure. After the fiasco in Libya, the remaining Ba.88s were no longer used in combat, and efforts to modernize them also came to nothing. Between 1939 and 1940, a total of 147 Ba.88 attackers were produced, 25 of which were later modified into Ba.88Ms. The Ba.88M did not reach full combat readiness until the day before the Armistice of Cassibile was signed. However, in the game, the Ba.88 Lince will certainly put in a better showing, because there won’t only be novices at the controls, but also battle-seasoned veterans of online aerial battles! What’s more, under the game conditions, the historic unreliability of the Lynx engines won’t be a factor, allowing the pilots to focus entirely on their objectives. The armament of the new attacker consists of three 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT frontal machine guns and one 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT defensive machine gun located on the rear turret. It should be noted that few aircraft of this class are fitted with defensive weaponry, which means that the Lynx’s chances of survival on the battlefield are much higher.
Figure 4: Simultaneous atomic-resolution ADF STEM image and electric field vector map and electric field strength map of Au single atoms. (a) ADF STEM image. (b,c) Electric field vector and electric field strength maps constructed from the segmented-detector STEM images. The dwell time is 300 μs per pixel. The inset colour wheel indicates how colour and shade denote the electric field orientation and strength. Magnified images from three isolated Au atom positions (3), identified from the ADF image but extractable from all the simultaneously acquired images, are shown to the right of the full images. The enlarged sections of the electric field vector and electric field strength maps show the distinctive contrast features seen at the column locations in Fig. 2. Simulated single Au atom images are also shown, which include a 10 nm-thick amorphous carbon substrate beneath the single Au atom. Because of the random structure of amorphous carbon, the diffraction effect is weak and thus the single Au atom contrast stands out from the background amorphous carbon contrast. (d) Comparison between the projected electric field strength line profile of Au atom number 2 and the simulated projected electric field strength line profiles of a single Au atom. For the experimental electric field strength line profile, the zero CoM angle is set to the average intensity of the nearby amorphous carbon region, and thus the comparison simulations do not include an amorphous carbon substrate. The experimental electric field strength using the eCoM approximation (blue line) and the simulated electric field profile assuming the same eCoM approximation (light green) are in good quantitative agreement. For comparison, the ideal atomic electric profile (including finite temperature effect) blurred by the diffraction-limited probe intensity profile and incoherent source size (red dashed line) is also shown. It is seen that the eCoM is a quantitatively good approximation to the (probe-blurred) atomic electric field. Full size image
“I really like the matching stripes on jersey, pants, and socks, and Philadelphia’s unis from this era are classic, my all-time favorite look for the them.” ”¦ Interesting find by Kenn Tomasch, who writes: “Apparently the North American Soccer League keeps track of the standings of its eight teams by arranging each team’s jersey in a display at the NASL offices.” ”¦ Dave Grob recently acquired a bunch of old game-used Boston Braves uniforms. The 1948 satin is nice, but I’m most intrigued by this 1933 road jersey, because of the two-tone headspoon. Never seen a design like that before. ”¦ Absolutely spectacular slideshow of old Comiskey Park. Have fun clicking through that one, and then thank Cary O’Reilly. ”¦ Some track and field athletes want to wear temporary tattoos with sponsors’ logos, but they’re not allowed to (from Aaron Rich). ”¦ No photo, but Michael Augsberger says England’s keeper, Joe Hart, had a different uni number font than the rest of the team for the recent match against Sweden. ”¦ Domenico Delgado says Josh Reddick of the A’s has the same lower-leg protocol as David Wright: pajamist for night games, high-cuffed for day games. ”¦ Check out the crazy underbrim design for this year’s MLB ASG BP caps (from Alec Jokubaitis). ”¦ New football helmet for Mississippi State. Same as last year, but they’ve added a gray outline to the logo and changed the facemask to white. ”¦ New bat knob decals on tap for the Orioles (big thanks to David Sulecki). ”¦ Rams exec Kevin Demoff has floated the idea that the team might wear white for one home game this season (from Mike Dean). ”¦ Looks like Astros pitcher Mike Scott was wearing an adjusta-strap cap during a 1985 game against the Braves. “The rest of the team was wearing ordinary fitted caps,” says John English.
Tonight we'll see the only all-Korean group of the Ro32, one of the little quirks of WCS America's random group draw. It's a group of death simply due to the nationality of the four players, and you have to think Revival , and HyuN are all ruing their luck.Odds don't favor lone Terranagainst the Zerg trio. While all of the Zergs either won a major championship or reached a final in 2013, TheStC's best result was a Ro16 finish. That's a far way off from the top four finishes he could be relied on to make in the past. His TvT is still very strong, but his vZ and vP matchups have suffered immensely since the release of HotS. TheStC barely even made Premier League this season by taking out Catz 3-2, with the ROOT captain being very vocal about vT being by far his weakest matchup. Neither statistics nor nor the eye-test give us much reason to think TheStC will advance, especially not with his first opponent being Byul. WCS America isn't going to get any easier going forward, so TheStC needs to make a statement right here.On the other hand, Incredible Miracle'sis on a roll. He might even be playing the best SC2 of his career. His rise was slow and steady, but all his work finally paid off late last year as the IM Zerg made it all the way to the finals of WCS America Season 3. He's continued to be a formidable player in all three matchups since then, and it's given him the right to be IM's ace player in Proleague. All in all, Byul has become an excellent player that you wouldn't expect to go out in the first round of a tournament. With his vT being ranked highest among his three matchups, Byul will be very happy to face TheStC in his first match.After getting cheated out of over $20,000 by former team Quantic and being demotivated into near retirement, it's not surprising to notice thathasn't been playing up to his old standards. HyuN himself admitted that he barely played for some time after the Quantic scandal, and his play at IEM Cologne was mediocre at best. He made it through the open bracket by defeating Leenock 2-0 but subsequently fell to Rain and ForGG while looking outclassed.
A number of security personnel have gone so far as to request shifts at the reactor core, even with the understanding of the high levels of dangers involved in such a position. <<DAY_26>> >> Dr. Tengus remains in the research facility. An application of replacement research assistants has been made, with the claim that “if they can’t work for a month straight then they have no right to hold a place by my side”. The captain has authorized this request, and new personnel have been requested from Saturn. The subject seems to have changed since capture. Parts of the exoskeleton have been removed, where others have been added. Dr. Tengus has been instructed to file a full report on any changes made to the subject from this point on. <<DAY_50>> >> Security personnel on station at the research facility have been disappearing. The captain claims no alterations have been made to shifts. Dr. Tengus claims to not have noticed, being too focused on his work. Though the monitoring Dr. Tengus’ studies are my prime responsibility, I have decided to explore the root cause of the disappearances. <<DAY_56>> >> No new results from Dr. Tengus. As such, I have continued to investigation into the loss of on-board personnel. Security staff actively avoid the research facility. Those who have disappeared on-shift have not been seen elsewhere on the ship, this includes their quarters. I believe Dr. Tengus is hiding something. I will confront him tomorrow on his possible breach of research protocol R-13. <<DAY_57>> >> Dr. Tengus continues to claim he has no knowledge of the disappearing personnel. New research staff claim to notice nothing out of the ordinary when questioned individually. Subject has had further modifications. Upon a request for the desired log of changes made, Dr. Tengus claimed to “have it somewhere” and demanded privacy. The captain has instructed me to keep a close eye on the doctor. <<DAY_70>> >> More security personnel have disappeared. The research facility is now abandoned aside from Dr. Tengus has his assistants. The doctor claims that the guards were not needed, and once more requested to be left to his work. <<DAY_71>> >> At 0200 hours I entered the facility. Dr. Tengus was sleeping at his workbench. His assistants were not in the room at the time. I searched the room in an attempt to uncover documents of any form, but to no avail. It seems Dr. Tengus is actively hiding his research.
Albright is not the only woman in a position of power, or otherwise, that has been discriminated against because of her appearance. An article published in The Washington Post in 2005 labeled Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, as a "dominatrix" when she stepped out in knee-high black-heeled boots during a visit to Wiesbaden Military Base in Germany. [29] Although the article was meant to give credit to Rice for "challeng[ing] expectations and assumptions",[30] some[who?] argue that the article gave her a hyper-sexualized image, and further removed the audience from focusing on the purpose of her visit to the military place. Similarly, media commentators have often chosen to report on Hillary Clinton's "man suits" and Julia Gillard's short hairstyle, instead of focusing on these women's professional accomplishments. [citation needed] Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican Vice-Presidential candidate, was the subject of much media attention due to her conventionally attractive appearance,[31] with Palin suggesting that the focus on her appearance ignored her professional and policy accomplishments. [32]
Results Compulsory Voting, Turnout, and Support for Leftist Policy in Referendums Model 1 in Table 1 presents fixed effects regression estimates of the impact of compulsory voting on turnout for federal referendums. We focus on referendums in which the two major parties offered conflictual endorsements; that is, one of the parties recommended voting for a policy, whereas the other party advocated voting against the proposal.9 All models include district and referendum fixed effects. We also include district‐specific linear time trends to account for smooth, time‐varying trends at the district level and a full set of sociodemographic and economic covariates.10 All estimations use two‐way robust standard errors that are clustered by district and referendum day (Cameron, Gelbach, and Miller 2011). Additionally, for our treatment estimate, we report p‐values that are based on the t‐distribution with 10 degrees of freedom to account for the fact that the treatment is applied at the cantonal level. We report various robustness as well as placebo tests further below. According to Model 1 in Table 1, turnout for referendums increases significantly (p <.01), by 33 percentage points on average in the period in which Vaud practiced compulsory voting. To better grasp the magnitude of this effect, we divide the point estimate by the counterfactual turnout level in the absence of compulsory voting. We find that compulsory voting boosts turnout by 66% on average. Table 1. The Policy Effects of Compulsory Voting Model Outcome (1) Turnout (2) Support Left (3) Support Right (4) Rel.

Model 2 reports our results for the variable Support Left. This dependent variable measures the share of votes for proposals endorsed by the SP and the share of votes against a proposal if the SP recommended voting against the policy (see Equation 1). Put simply, this captures support for the position advocated by the left party.
While the majority of reviewers gave Dota 2 highly positive reviews, a common criticism was that the game maintains a steep learning curve that requires exceptional commitment to overcome. While providing a moderately positive review that praised Valve's product stability, Fredrik Åslund from the Swedish division of Gamereactor described his first match of Dota 2 as one of the most humiliating and inhospitable experiences of his gaming career, citing the learning curve and players' attitudes as unwelcoming. [179] Benjamin Danneberg of GameStar alluded to the learning curve as a "learning cliff", calling the newcomer's experience to be painful, with the tutorial feature new to the Dota franchise only being partially successful. [180] In a review for the Metro newspaper, Dota 2 was criticized for not compensating for the flaws with the learning curve from Defense of the Ancients, as well as the sometimes hostile community, which is commonly criticized in multiplayer online battle arena games. [181] Peter Bright of Ars Technica also directed criticism at the ability for third-party websites to allow skin gambling and betting on match results, similar to controversies that also existed with Valve's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. [182] Using Dota 2 as an example, Bright thought that Valve had built gambling elements directly into their games, and had issues with the unregulated practice, which he said was often used by underage players and regions where gambling is illegal. [182] Australian senator Nick Xenophon had similar sentiment, stating that he wanted to introduce legislation in his country to minimize underage access to gambling within video games, including Dota 2. [183] In response to the controversy, Valve and Dota 2 project manager, Erik Johnson, stated that they would be taking action against the third-party sites, saying that the practice was not allowed by their API or their user agreements. [184]
Some focus on studying and mastering physical combat, turning their mind, body, and soul into a single entity in battle. These savants gain preternatural accuracy, awareness, and efficiency of movement with physical weaponry. Other savants specialize their skills even further: some for perception, investigation, and subterfuge, and others to destroy the minds or souls of their foes with psychic onslaughts. How did your savant grow up? Were you born in a large city, where your powers were as accepted as those of a wizard or sorcerer? Or were you born in a place where your talents were treated as witchcraft or worse? Did you spend your early years mistakenly sent to a wizarding school? Did you hide your powers, only revealing them to your parents and close friends? How did they react? Or did you never reveal your powers, eventually leaving home to gain an understanding by yourself? Were you self-taught, or were you lucky enough to find another savant to teach you? The answers to these questions can help you build your background and shape the choice of your savant predisposition and the powers you choose to learn. Quick Build You can make a savant quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the hermit background. Third, choose the minor telekinesis and feel light talents, along with the soul shock and circadian adjustment powers. Class Features As a savant, you gain the following class features. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d8 per savant level
At this time, it is best to tighten up the straps and mold the matting and keep adding layers of straps to the exterior and interior of the shoe. The amount of layers one adds will depend on the amount of protection they wish to achieve. My preference is to add lots now to save having to add lots later. At this point in fabrication of the shoe, it might feel somewhat "springy." This is normal. By adding more layers and tightening the straps and removing any gaps, soon the springiness will be replaced by solidness. If your first shoe is imperfect, this can be overcome with practice and visualization. Try making a miniature model at first, say, the size of a children's shoe. This will assist you with forming, holding and weaving the shoe and get the final product more quickly so you can see where you will have some difficulties prior to forming a full-size shoe. With more strips, lots of tension applied and all gaps reduced, your shoe should look close to photo 10. At this stage your shoe will easily fit inside the formed shoe. This is the advantage of a shoe, rather than a boot style. The shoe allows more flexibility of the foot in negotiating the bushes and uneven ground, where a boot style has a limited range in the forward motion. A low shoe doesn't offer much protection in the shin area. This can be supplemented with a slab of birch bark under your pant leg or wrapped around your leg and secured with one of the means described earlier. The shoe at this point is still not form-fitting enough to eliminate shoe wobble. This is achieved with the help of cattail down, dry leaves or grasses-any dry, soft substance that will warm the foot, compress to contour to the foot and will not cause abrasions. In photo 11 you now see the shoe filled with cattail down. This substance not only warms, but contours well and gives the foot protection on the inside against the edges from the strips, as the strips give the foot protection from the edges of the earth. Using a small twig, you can force in a lot of down around your foot and fill in the hollows around the foot, causing a tightness to occur which will assist in walking.
So it's official - the Tories have not only betrayed the promise that new powers will come to the Scottish Parliament after Brexit, but they have also announced that some of the existing devolved powers will be taken away. Unless you count a minor change over powers relating to Antarctica which were devolved by mistake, this will be the first time that powers have been snatched back by Westminster since Devolution Day in 1999. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking this is happening as an automatic consequence of Brexit - as things stand, the Scottish Parliament has total control over devolved matters except where limited by EU legislation. For that to change, the Tory government has to effectively repeal parts of the Scotland Act, and that is what they have set about attempting to do today.Is there any hope that the power-grab can be stopped in its tracks? Under the Sewel Convention, the Scottish Parliament can withhold legislative consent for its powers to be removed. We already know that the Supreme Court regards the convention as legally unenforceable (in spite of the fact that it's written into law! ), so everything will depend on whether the UK government feels that it is too politically damaging to abandon Sewel. Remember they will have an eye on the next independence referendum (regardless of whether that happens in two years or in fifteen) and will know that one of the big topics of debate in that campaign will be whether or not "The Vow" was honoured. If Sewel is ripped up just two years after being written into statute, it'll be extremely hard to argue that the part of "The Vow" relating to the permanence of the Scottish Parliament was fulfilled.The other big advantage the Scottish government have is that they appear to be of one mind on this subject with the Labour-led Welsh government. We know that Labour no longer give a monkey's about protecting Scottish devolution, but because of the Welsh dimension there'll be pressure on them to resist anything that undermines devolution in both Scotland and Wales. Now that we have a hung parliament, a united front between Labour and the SNP could open up the possibility of the Tory government suffering defeats on the floor of the Commons. * * *Hot on the heels of Julia Rampen's fearless and groundbreakingseries of articles, thehave served up a somewhat less innovativepiece from James Millar.
I’m not going to allow North Korea to hit America with a nuclear weapon. We’re not going to live under that threat. If I have to go to war, and I don’t want to, to stop it, I will. Everybody before President Trump screwed it up, including Republicans. Now we need to get it right. And I think he’s got the right approach. He’s got the right team. I hope China will help us. We’re running out of time.

DRBD is a a block level replication technology that provides redundancy and can provide high availability when configured with heartbeat. DRBD works over 2 nodes in primary-secondary mode. You can also add a 3rd node which acts as a sort of backup node with delayed synchronization. DRBD is tried and tested but limited to 2 nodes. The 9.0 release expected soon will allow users to configure DRBD over multiple nodes. DRBD is supposed to be fast and has a number of config options to tweak its performance. Since this is block level the use case is limited to when you are running your own network and have access to disk at the block level. With the primary secondary config only the primary block device of the pair is available for use, which can then be mounted over nfs for use by various hosts. The other is replicated and can be mounted for manual fail over or by using heartbeat for automatic failover and HA. We are going to use a loopback device to show how easy it is setup DRBD, using DRDB over a loopback device is not recommended. We will do this exercise on 2 Ubuntu Trusty VMs in primary secondary mode and use a pretty simple config. Lets call VM1 'drbd01' and VM2 'drbd02' and are presuming a storage network on 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 for both hosts Let's prepare both hosts apt-get install drbd8-utils mkdir /srv/test & /srv/fs cd /srv/fs dd if=/dev/zero of=drbd.img bs=1024K count=1000 losetup /dev/loop0 /srv/fs/drbd.img Now edit the /etc/hosts on both hosts and associate the IPs with the drbd01 and drbd02 hosts nano /etc/hosts Its should look like below this for both DRBD hosts drbd01 10.0.0.2 drbd02 10.0.0.3 Also edit /etc/hostname on both hosts and associate each with their respective drbd name. Now on both drbd01 and drbd02 create a config file for drbd nano /etc/drbd.d/r0.res Its should look like this resource r0 { net { shared-secret "secret"; } on drbd01 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/loop0; address 10.0.0.2:7788; meta-disk internal; } on drbd02 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/loop0; address 10.0.0.3:7788; meta-disk internal; } } The DRBD config operates on the concept of resources. Our resource as you can see in the config file is called 'r0' and the config file is also named 'r0.res'. Now let's initialize the storage. On drbd01 and drbd02 nodes start the drbd service /etc/initd./drbd start drbdadm create-md r0 You should get no errors.
Inside the Band is what Mehdi and Zulfi Alam, General Manager of Personal Devices, say is the best collection of sensors in the industry. "It really gets to a different level on fitness, on heart rate, on calorie count, on calorie burn, on what you're doing, because of that." Rather than just use the accelerometer to count steps, the Band combines that data with your phone’s GPS data and the always-on heart-rate monitor to figure out the length of your strides, which provides a much more accurate measurement of calories burned. The Band is sort of Microsoft’s take on the Google Nexus strategy, which Microsoft hopes will show others how to build great trackers. Microsoft is even licensing the ten sensor modules it has developed, so others can build new and different ways to measure your heart rate and step count. "We think there are many people who are going to have brilliant ideas," Mehdi says. "The truth is there's all sorts of wearable tech that other people have, and our platform will be happy to accept that data, and deliver data and insights back. So with different types of wearable — on your wrist, on your head, on your body — who knows what the right idea is? We wanted to take the approach of saying let's bring the industry along, and contribute."
Our community is made up of thousands of amazing people with kind hearts.” On the other side, the dispute has drawn in not only the hotel industry but also, in a rare alliance, landlord and tenant groups. The Attorney General claims that illegal hotels are abusing Airbnb’s site, and Krueger complains that Airbnb is “actively recruiting tenants to list their apartments on their websites even though they are well aware they are putting residents at risk of eviction” by breaking laws and tenancy agreements. Some “online businesses have become highly profitable by ignoring state and local laws and ignoring the damage their business model has done to communities.” Airbnb’s misrepresentation of their own business is at the root of the problem in New York. The company maintains that it is a community of regular New Yorkers, occasionally renting out a room. Its marketing material leans heavily on stories of individuals that conform to this archetype. One figure they use repeatedly is that 87 percent of their hosts “rent the homes in which they live.” This is being economical with the truth. Information I collected from over 22,000 New York listing pages on the Airbnb web site (the bulk of their listings) paints a different picture. In October I scraped the Airbnb web site in order to evaluate Airbnb’s business. I estimate that almost half of Airbnb’s New York revenue comes from people with multiple listings, and almost three quarters of Airbnb’s business comes from whole-home rentals, where the host is absent during the rental period.
In a study this year, Artron said many of China’s leading modern artists are being counterfeited, but none more so than Qi Baishi. Arnold Chang, who ran Sotheby’s Chinese painting division in the 1980s, is equally emphatic. “There is no doubt,” he said, “that there are far more works ascribed to Qi Baishi in the market than he could have possibly painted, even with an assembly line of assistants — which he supposedly had.” Just about every major city in China has an art dealer who claims access to high-quality Qi Baishi fakes. They are often sold as reproductions, as are many of the elaborate counterfeits created here, but experts say many of them invariably end up at auction, rebranded as the real thing. Qi Baishi’s own family, some of them painters, aggressively promote themselves as descendants of the famous artist in order to sell their works, done in his style. “Some distant relatives can’t even draw very well, and they go out and claim they are Qi Baishi’s family,” said Qi Binghui, a granddaughter of the artist, who is based in Beijing. “If you’re going to do something in your grandfather’s name, at least live up to his standard.” Family members say they have been pressed to authenticate fakes, to pose for photos with pieces that might go to auction and even to mass-produce famous works by Qi Baishi. “I can tell you I was once asked to go to Thailand to justify a batch of 20 fake paintings claimed to be my grandfather’s,” Qi Binghui said. “That person was trying to sell those fake paintings in Thailand, and he wanted me to assure the buyers that they were real.” Concern over fake Qi Baishis is now a challenge for auction houses. China Guardian, the big auction house, says it has an enviable record of spotting fakes, and most experts agree that its reputation stands above all others. But in the spring of 2011, China Guardian marketed “Eagle Standing on a Pine Tree” as the classic masterpiece the painter had created decades earlier to honor the birthday of Chiang Kai-shek, then president. The work was put up for sale by Liu Yiqian, a former taxi driver turned wealthy financier, who has become one of China’s largest art collectors.
Cops were yelling at us, 'Go north, go north, that's when you knew," Tom Garcia said. "I just want to get home to my son," said witness Brian Foote.Arriving in Chicago from Las Vegas Monday, Foote described the scene at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival when moments after Jason Aldean took to the stage the first shots rained down on the crowd. "We just saw sparks from the Mandalay Bay. We ran. It was survival mode at that point," Foote said.Lee Larson had tickets to the festival, but at the last minute decided not to go. His friends still in Vegas, did. "When we got to the hotel, they were laying on the ground, filthy dirty, covered up with dirty, they had lost their shoes, had to hitchhike home," said Larson.Passengers returning from Vegas describe the chaos surrounding the city in the aftermath of the mass shooting. Hotels placed on lockdown, flights cancelled as authorities tried to get a handle on the situation. "When I left this morning there were still people coming in across the street. Muddied shirts, people without shoes. People with the blankets that paramedics had," said Roger Guth.Travelers heading to Vegas from Chicago's Midway International Airport Monday were disturbed and concerned following Sunday night's mass shooting. "From the airport, you can see Mandalay Bay. It's kind of shocking that something could happen like that right in town at a big event like that," said Kenny Borio, who is traveling to Las Vegas.When he lands, he can expect a heightened police presence at Vegas' international airport. One passenger tweeting, "Security is amped up, as you can imagine. Pre-Check lines shut down, more agents, canines...""I guess, kind of a little nervous," said Thomas Rzepka.Rzepka and Doreen Brown were married in Vegas 19 years ago and are returning Monday for the first time. Like the people attending Sunday night's concert, they too plan to take advantage of the entertainment Las Vegas has to offer and see a show. "I believe and I do trust they have everything under control. You just can't stop someone when they want to do something like this. It's sad, but we are still gonna go," Brown said.Vegas' McCarran Airport tweeted Monday morning more than two dozen flights were diverted to other airports.Las Vegas-based Allegiant Airlines said they sheltered 30 people who fled the concert site onto the airfield overnight at one of the airline's facilities.

The rough timings for it are as follows:This style is actually fairly new, but it's going to be absolutely devastating on older maps, while still being extremely powerful in a more modern map pool. The idea is to beat the Terran's face with so many mid-game units that he will not have time to secure his third base and start dropping and doing those annoying parade 4M pushes, while all you do is inject and amove. Pretty awesome.Because microing lings against mines, defending drops and harassing with mutas and all that is for pussies.
Still, no matter how the market responds to the Surface Hub, the fact that Microsoft is behind it raises the stakes far beyond anything Han has attempted in the past. “This isn’t a trivial little experiment,” he says. “We’re committed.” He pauses. “We don’t do things small at Microsoft. We do things big.” Surface Hubs being manufactured in Microsoft’s Wilsonville factory From TED to Bill, Steve, and Satya For as long as he can remember, Han, a research scientist working out of New York University’s Courant Institute, has been fascinated by technology. He even doodles in right angles, rectangles, and squares–hieroglyphs that look almost like circuitry, a schematic of his unconscious. The son of middle-class Korean immigrants who emigrated to America in the 1970s to take over a Jewish deli in Queens, Han began taking apart the family TV, VCR, “anything that was blinking,” at the age of 5 (he still has a nasty scar courtesy of a hot soldering iron his little sister knocked onto his foot). –From “Can’t Touch This,” a profile of Jeff Han by Adam Penenberg in the February 2007 issue of Fast Company Advertisement Han first noodled around with multi-touch interfaces–a concept dating back to the 1970s–in 2002, as a researcher at New York University. Then he put the project aside in favor of other experiments. (Though his name is practically synonymous with multi-touch, he’s also explored everything from autonomous navigation to eye tracking to motion capture.) In 2005, he turned his attention back to multi-touch, and stuck with it. By February 2006, he was ready to show his work in progress at the TED conference, using a 36-inch screen set up like a drafting table, with cameras that tracked his finger movements. Viewed today, his demo remains engaging. But for a 2015 viewer, the most striking thing about it is the sound of attendees gasping and applauding at now-familiar gestures such as Han pinching a photo to resize it. Han began his presentation by explaining that the interface he was about to show was ready to come out of the lab. He wasn’t exaggerating. Perceptive Pixel, he told me, “was founded shortly after the response I got from TED.” The startup’s goal was to turn the technology into useful commercial products. However, the next meaningful moment in the popularization of multi-touch happened on January 9, 2007, when Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone at Macworld Expo in San Francisco.

It's caused by user error, the loose nut behind the stock, the wind, the sun or any other excuse that can be dreamt of in your philosophy, but not the rifle or ammo.The flyer is something to be discounted as if it never happened. (Why be concerned with reality when you are an Internet Commando?) Since that shot is discounted, why not discount that whole group as if it never happened? (After all, isn’t that what an Internet Commando does?) Our Hero decides to discount the entire group and throws the target in the trash. He makes a solemn vow to never mention this group to anyone. After all, he is a real Internet Commando.Upon returning home our Hero makes all the usual posts on the Internet about his sub-minute of angle groups using XM193. True to his solemn vow, he makes no mention of his 2.5” group. At no time does he mention that these groups were 3-shot groups. Nor does he make any mention of the fact that the groups were centered in different locations on the target.Our Hero ends his day wondering if his grandson, or great-grandson or even great great-grandson will remember the accomplishments of the real Internet Commandos or if their contributions to the shooting world will eventually be lost in time? He even wonders what his progeny might someday be named, James or possibly Tiberius? Hmmm…Dedicated to DK-Prof for his shining example of "truth in accuracy reporting" in these two threads:....While the fable above is obviously fiction, the examples of targets shown are based on a real target of a 10-shot group fired from 100 yards using XM193. When all of the 3-shot groups from above are overlayed on a single target you see a much truer example of the limitations of the rifle and ammo. The gap made by the so-called “flyer” is filled in by the other seven shots of the whole group. You can see that when the first 3-shot group (which is centered 1.5” below the second 3-shot group) is displayed with the second 3-shot group you are actually seeing a much better indication of the total dispersion of the rifle and ammo combination. Most people fail to mention that their 3-shot groups are impacting at different locations on the target.
The high potential predictability of CO 2 uptake provides a basis for assessing our predictions against observations using the surface ocean CO 2 atlas (SOCAT) measurement36. Although observational data from SOCAT are sparse in the SPG region, these are the best ocean surface observations we can get for this region. The ocean surface pCO 2 in the SPG region peaks in winter as a result of the enhanced vertical supply of carbon from the intermediate waters by deep convection; surface pCO 2 values reach a minimum in summer due to biological draw down33,34,35 (Fig. 4). The initialized predictions produce ocean surface pCO 2 closer to SOCAT observation than the uninitialized simulations as indicated by the correlations and root mean squared errors. The correlations of assimilation (0.60) and initialized simulation at a lead time of 3 years (0.44) are significantly larger than the correlation of initialized simulation (0.29) at 95% significance level. The root mean squared error is lower in the assimilation and initialized simulations than in the uninitialized simulation. As we use monthly data due to lack of continuous observations, the better performances of initialized simulations are partially due to better representation of the seasonal cycle in the initialized simulations. We further separate the time series seasonally, and find that in addition to the seasonal cycle there is an improvement of the initialized run against the uninitialized run particularly in the winter months when the pCO 2 is high. The root mean squared error of ocean surface pCO 2 is much smaller in the assimilation (7.3 p.p.m.) and initialized simulations at a lead time of 3 years (13.0 p.p.m.) than in the uninitialized simulations (24.0 p.p.m. ; Fig. 4b). The coherences between model simulations and observations are generally lower in spring months (Fig. 4c). The improvement of prediction in individual seasons further demonstrates that the interannual variations of oceanic carbon cycle are improved in the initialized simulations. The higher correlations between SOCAT and initialized simulations and the lower root mean squared error of the initialized simulations against SOCAT confirm that the oceanic carbon cycle can be predicted several years ahead by initialization of the ESM (Supplementary Fig. 5 and Supplementary Note 5). However, owing to temporal and spatial gaps in observations, the precise prediction skill with respect to observations cannot be estimated.

They identify a person's likes and dislikes, motives, needs, weak spots, and vulnerabilities. We all have 'buttons' that can be pushed, and psychopaths, more than most people, are always ready to push them. Second, many psychopaths come across as having excellent oral communication skills. In many cases, these skills are more apparent than real because of their readiness to jump right into a conversation without the social inhibitions that hamper most people. They make use of the fact that for many people the content of the message is less important than the way it is delivered. A confident, aggressive delivery style - often larded with jargon, cliches, and flowery phrases - makes up for the lack of substance and sincerity in their interactions with others. This skill, coupled with the belief that they deserve whatever they can take, allows psychopaths to use effectively what they learn about a person against the person as they interact with him or her - they know what to say and how to say it to exert influence. Third, they are masters of impression management; their insight into the psyche of others combined with a superficial - but convinced - verbal fluency allows them to change their personas skillfully as it suits the situation and their game plan. They are known for their ability to don many masks, change 'who they are' depending upon the person with whom they are interacting, and make themselves appear likable to their intended victim. Narcissistic people will find psychopaths to be solicitous of their need to get attention; anxious people will find them to be non-threatening and reassuring; many will find them exciting and fun to be with. Few will suspect that they are dealing with a psychopath who is playing up to their particular personality and vulnerabilities. In the great card game of life, psychopaths know what cards you hold, and they cheat.
These responses typically involve the alteration of metabolic process in order to maintain energetic homeostasis of the cell. Along with Akt, one of the major (if not the primary) energy metabolism regulators are the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family of protein kinases. They are involved in various and multiple metabolic processes (including glycolytic control, glucose transport etc. ), and are triggered by a diverse range of metabolic stressors, including hypoxia, heat shock and nutrient deficiency 33. AMPK, as well as being stimulated directly by AMP (a marker of low energy status), must be phosphorylated (at Thr 172, typically by LKB1) before becoming activated. The AMPK-related kinase (ARK5) member of this family is activated by Akt phosphorylation, which is thought to be part of an Akt-mediated response to nutrient starvation (Fig. ) 33. Subsequently, ARK5 can phosphorylate the tumor suppressor, 'ataxia-telangiectasia' kinase (ATM), which is a member of the PI3K family. ATM, in turn, phosphorylates the tumor suppressor transcription factor, p53, which stabilizes and activates it, leading to downstream apoptotic signaling 33. This indicates a contradictory response in Akt signaling, since the general consensus of Akt signaling appears to support cellular survival and development.

According to PetfoodIndustry.com, in just the month of February 2011, 70 percent of pet food ingredients imported to U.S. pet food manufacturers came from China. In that month alone, almost $22 million dollars worth of pet food products were purchased from China. The second largest importer was Thailand, from whom we purchased a measly-by-comparison $7.6 million in pet-related goods. If you're worried about feeding your pet a food with ingredients imported from China (or anywhere else), at first glance the solution seems simple. Just read the product label to insure it says 'Made in the USA' … right? Not exactly. U.S. country of origin labeling laws only require that products made in the U.S. be put together here. There's no requirement of pet food manufacturers to identify where the ingredients in their products come from. From the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection's Complying with the Made in USA Standard document: "What is the standard for a product to be called Made in USA without qualification? For a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the U.S. The term "United States," as referred to in the Enforcement Policy Statement, includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories and possessions." If you're thinking you'll just call the pet food company's 1-800 number and inquire about where their ingredients come from, you might not find out much. According to TruthAboutPetFood.com: "… it seems that no one in the pet food industry is very willing to talk much about Chinese imports. Try calling or emailing several pet food manufacturers and ask them the country of origin of all ingredients. Many will just happen to forget to mention vitamins and minerals are sourced from China."

Himmler once said “I marvel at the wisdom of the founders of Indian religions.” Himmler a believer of astrology & occult, apparently told his personal masseur Felix Kersten that he always carried with him a copy of the Bhagavad Gita because it relieved him of guilt about implementing the final solution; he felt that like the warrior Arjuna in that he was simply doing his duty without attachment to his actions. He also quoted the sentence that meant – It is decreed that whenever men lose respect for law & truth, and the world is given over to injustice, I will be born anew. That he believed was Krishna, reincarnated as Hitler!! Himmler also said the Kshatriya’s had conquered India, so that is what we must be (Devil’s disciples – Read). Summarizing, Himmler's attraction to the Gita was that it allowed him to separate his duty from his actions and thus ease the burden of the Final SolutionStrangely the people of real & even more recent Aryan origin in Germany at that time were amongst the 26000 or so Sindhi (Sinti) and Roma Gypsies who had moved to Europe from the Indian Sindh areas (they started out in the 11th century with the Ottoman armies). The Gypsies of pure blood were to put in an open zoo and the others were castrated according to Himmler’s plan. However Bormnan & the other Nazi elite did not agree and all the Gypsies were doomed (Rosenbaum). Himmler ordered the deportation of Gypsies and part-Gypsies to Auschwitz-Birkenau.Berger kept a low profile for more than a decade till law caught up. Wienert, Krause and Geer who accompanied Scahffer quietly slipped back into academic life. Himmler apparently committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide pill while in British custody in May 1945. Schaffer died after a long tenure as an academic in 1992.The whole story has many interesting tidbits. Bruno Berger, a member of the Schafer party met S C Bose in Calcutta (again in Berlin in 1941). Stalin had during that period remarked that it was ridiculous for a few 100 Englishmen to dominate India.
And it must be the cleanest city in the whole world." It's also pretty in its way, with tree-lined boulevards and huge squares ornamented with fountains and statues. A river runs through the center of the city and along its banks are a series of beautiful parks. The disturbing aspect of all this scenery, though, is that you never see anyone enjoying it. The parks are empty, the theaters vacant, the stores all seem to be closed. Eeriest of all is the 150,000-seat stadium Pyongyang constructed in a failed bid for a portion of the 1988 Olympics. A stadium filled with drunken sports fans can be loud and chaotic, but an empty bowl of yellow benches is downright depressing. Movement in Pyongyang is strictly controlled, as is residency itself. "Before we arrived two years ago," our Indian friend tells us, "there used to be no disabled and hardly any old people. You couldn't have gray hair." Pregnant women were also banned from Pyongyang, but these rules have been relaxed. The Koryo Hotel is the finest place in Pyongyang and it's an impressive sight, two twin towers rising 47 stories. Both are topped with revolving restaurants, but only one is open. There's not much demand, since the 500-room hotel has only 35 guests during our stay. Not much else is open in Pyongyang or anywhere in North Korea. The most famous building in the country has to be the Ryugyong Hotel. At 105 stories, it's one story taller than a hotel constructed by a South Korean firm in Singapore. The pyramid-shaped Ryugyong is said to contain a hospital, bowling alleys, a cinema and 3,000 hotel rooms. Nobody knows when it will be finished. Nobody can even say how long it's been under construction. Subway stations in Pyongyang are in the Moscow mold of proletarian luxury, with polished marble floors, arched white pillars and sparkling chandeliers. Among the many murals of Kim Il Sung is one showing him and his son in a mountain setting. All the scenery is red or violet. Mars comes quickly to mind. Above ground, too, Pyongyang has the same unworldly quality with its dazzling fountains surrounded by park benches with nobody upon them, ghost trolleys that run sleekly through silent streets, empty save for the state fleet of Mercedes, reportedly the largest in the world, conveying top cadres to furtive ministries.
As a 15 year old whiMp stormed the scene in 2004 as he powered The-Titans to the ESWC title and a WCG silver medal. That his team were only able to achieve 6th place finishes at CPL Summer and Winter that year, where he was unable to play due to age restrictions, showed how immense his impact was on that team's level of play and ability to accomplish great things.whiMp was very much Denmark'selemeNt both in terms of the age at which he burst onto the scene as a CS prodigy and the stunningly intuitive feel he had for the game which allowed him to take teams to the next level over and over again. Like his Norwegian counterpart in this comparison whiMp didn't have the craziest aim or the most kills each map but he always seemed to be the missing piece which connected every other part of his team together and could make plays in the midst of a game that others could only dream of, being in the right place at the right time on cue as though he already knew the outcome.When Sunde came along it seemed for a time like perhaps whiMp would no longer be the sole Danish name to sit amongst the likes of Potti, neo, f0rest and the others in the pantheon of CS gods. As previously mentioned though Sunde, while a very good player, burned brightly but not for a sustained period of years. With whiMp exiting the scene and Sunde not as effective 2009 seemed like the time when Denmark would disappear into a dark age of little success. Perhaps it's fitting then that the moment whiMp stepped aside was the moment the next great Danish player entered the fray. His name is trace and his story is not yet fully written but the beginning was impressive, the middle part keeps getting better and the future is prime for an ending of epic proportions.
We have to get it done in three years flat.” ULA’s current troubles would have been difficult to envision just a few years ago. Until April of this year the company maintained a lucrative monopoly on the U.S. national security establishment’s satellite launch business, contracts that generated hundreds of millions of dollars per launch. How that monopoly crumbled is an unexpected tale, one that involves not only the likes of Elon Musk and SpaceX—but also Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. Sen. John McCain, and events ranging from Washington, D.C., to Crimea. Perhaps most surprising to the layperson is this twist: For more than two decades the rockets that carry countless U.S. government satellites—including those that spy on Russia—have contained engines made in … Russia. That practice is coming to an end, leaving ULA in the (slightly less surprising) position of relying on upstart Blue Origin for a new—as yet undeveloped—engine. Photograph by Spencer Lowell for Fortune Bruno, a 54-year-old mechanical engineer who has spent his entire career at Lockheed and ULA, is soft-spoken and analytical—so analytical, in fact, that he doesn’t even blink when asked whether his company is facing extinction. He has publicly acknowledged that ULA “cannot survive” if it doesn’t find a way to compete in the new environment. His office at ULA’s headquarters outside Denver is standard-issue CEO, apart, perhaps, from the scale models of ULA rockets and a statuette of the legendary St. George slaying the dragon. (Bruno has a fascination with the Crusades, as we’ll see.) Even now, it’s hard to view mighty Boeing and Lockheed as underdogs in this contest. But that’s the nature of the disruptee’s plight, and it leaves the existential question, Can Bruno slay the dragon? Developing a radically cheaper rocket built with a new engine in three years, as noted, is a very tall order. “Based on what I’ve seen in the last quarter-century watching companies develop rockets, it’s an extremely ambitious schedule,” says Marco Caceres, director of space studies at aerospace consultancy Teal Group. “If I were to bet, I’d say they can’t do it. But—and it’s a big but—I think they realize that this is an extraordinary situation for them. If they don’t do it, they may not be in the launch business much longer.”
Vulcun simply outplayed them in the early game, but with superior team coordination and utilizing the strengths of their team comp they were able to come back. This game proved that GGU had a lot of raw talent, and could easily be a dark horse to break into the top four come the end of the first half of the season.

In the southwest corner of Poland, far from any town or city, the Oder River curls sharply, creating a tiny inlet. The banks are matted with wild grass and shrouded by towering pine and oak trees. The only people who regularly trek to the area are fishermen—the inlet teems with perch and pike and sun bass. On a cold December day in 2000, three friends were casting there when one of them noticed something floating by the shore. At first, he thought it was a log, but as he drew closer he saw what looked like hair. The fisherman shouted to one of his friends, who poked the object with his rod. It was a dead body. The fishermen called the police, who carefully removed the corpse of a man from the water. A noose was around his neck, and his hands were bound behind his back. Part of the rope, which appeared to have been cut with a knife, had once connected his hands to his neck, binding the man in a backward cradle, an excruciating position—the slightest wiggle would have caused the noose to tighten further. There was no doubt that the man had been murdered. His body was clothed in only a sweatshirt and underwear, and it bore marks of torture. A pathologist determined that the victim had virtually no food in his intestines, which indicated that he had been starved for several days before he was killed. Initially, the police thought that he had been strangled and then dumped in the river, but an examination of fluids in his lungs revealed signs of drowning, which meant that he was probably still alive when he was dropped into the water. The victim—tall, with long dark hair and blue eyes—seemed to match the description of a thirty-five-year-old businessman named Dariusz Janiszewski, who had lived in the city of Wroclaw, sixty miles away, and who had been reported missing by his wife nearly four weeks earlier; he had last been seen on November 13th, leaving the small advertising firm that he owned, in downtown Wroclaw. When the police summoned Janiszewski’s wife to see if she could identify the body, she was too distraught to look, and so Janiszewski’s mother did instead. She immediately recognized her son’s flowing hair and the birthmark on his chest. The police launched a major investigation. Scuba divers plunged into the frigid river, looking for evidence. Forensic specialists combed the forest.
England has reduced her complaint to a mere error of procedure, a technical blunder of which she had made herself systematically guilty in all her maritime wars, but against which the United States have never ceased to protest, and which President Madison, in his message inaugurating the war of 1812, expatiated upon as one of the most shocking breaches of international law. If the United States may be defended in paying England with her own coin, will they be accused for magnanimously disavowing, on the part of a single American captain, acting on his own responsibility, what they always denounced as a systematic usurpation on the part of the British Navy!

In 1961, after a brief marriage to a white hanger-on at the Atlantic City club, she married Stroud, a tough police detective on the Harlem beat whom she initially sized up as “a light-skinned man,” “well built,” and “very sure of himself.” The following year, she gave birth to a daughter, Lisa Celeste, and Stroud left his job to manage Simone’s career; they lived in a large house in the leafy Westchester suburb of Mount Vernon, complete with a gardener and a maid. Although she complained of working too hard and touring too much—of being desperately exhausted—her life was not the stuff of the blues. And then, before a concert in early 1967, Stroud found her in her dressing room putting makeup in her hair. She didn’t know who he was; she didn’t quite know who she was. She later remembered that she had been trying to get her hair to match her skin: “I had visions of laser beams and heaven, with skin—always skin—involved in there somewhere.” The full medical facts of Simone’s mental illness became public only after her death, in 2003, thanks to two British fan-club founders and friends of Simone’s, Sylvia Hampton and David Nathan, whose account of the singer’s career was aptly titled, after one of Simone’s songs, “Nina Simone: Break Down & Let It All Out” (2004). Subsequent biographies—the warmly overdramatizing “Nina Simone,” by David Brun-Lambert (2009), and the coolly meticulous “Princess Noire,” by Nadine Cohodas (2010)—have filled in terrible details of depression and violence and long-sought but uncertain diagnoses: “bipolar disorder” appears to be the best contemporary explanation. Excerpts from Simone’s diaries and letters of the nineteen-sixties, published by Joe Hagan (who got them from Andrew Stroud) in The Believer, in 2010, added the news that Simone’s personal hell was compounded by regular beatings from Stroud. The marriage dissolved in 1970, but it was many more years before she received any helpful medication. All the more remarkable, then, the strength that Simone projected through the sixties. As the decade wore on, she began to favor bright African gowns and toweringly braided African hair styles; she became the High Priestess of Soul, and though the title was no more than a record company’s P.R. gambit—Aretha Franklin was soon crowned the Queen of Soul—she bore it with conviction. It would be wrong, however, to give the impression that her songs were mostly about civil rights.
Then I discovered the ESP8266 family of microcontrollers which allowed me to use a much smaller WiFi-enabled device which could conceivably be shoehorned into the kettle.To get it wired in I needed to figure out where I could access a couple four things: I needed a source of DC power, I needed to be able to monitor the power LED, and I needed a way to press the "power" and "hold" buttons. Here is what I came up with:Using this map I soldered in a ribbon cable and put a dupont connector on the end for easy connections:The microcontroller I'm using has an onboard power supply to convert 5VDC into the 3.3VDC it's expecting, but every time I'd power it up something went wrong. I spent quite a while tracking that down using external regulation and filter caps but couldn't get the microcontroller to power up. Eventually I looked at it with my oscilloscope which allowed me to see the +/-1V 60Hz swings in voltage coming from the kettle's built-in PSU. In response I tore open a wall-wart USB charger, stole the guts, then wrapped it in heat shrink and stuck it inside the kettle. With a stable power supply I was able to reliably control the kettle via 3 optoisolators to fully isolate the microcontroller from the kettle's own dodgy power.The next step was to condense this down into a package that could fit inside the base so I got some perfboard and set myself to hacking together this mess of tiny wires (that's 30awg kynar).The resulting combination of microcontroller and isolator interface board turned out to be small enough for my purposes. A 5mm LED is placed next to this for scale:I positioned the power supply and microcontroller board in the base where I thought things would kind-of fitHowever with it laid out like this I couldn't get the base to fit correctly. I needed to run the wire to the left of that screw mount (far left in the picture), but it had some bracing extending to the side of the kettle base. No problem, I'll just snip that brace out! Well, that cracked the whole screw mount post leading to some choice words followed by a healthy dose of JB WeldEventually I was able to get everything placed in such a manner that the base would fit and so none of the wires were binding anywhere.
Vettel was in second place because Red Bull had outsmarted McLaren on pit-stop strategy; Hamilton and Button were in the best grandstand seats driving in the heat haze and exhaust gases of the charging Red Bulls. Suddenly, Vettel was close out of Turn 10 and into the slipstream of his team-mate heading at 200mph towards the obvious overtaking point of the 60mph Turn 12 hairpin. Webber instinctively defended and left an F1 car-sized gap at the side of the road on the dirty, unused part of the track. Vettel chose to take it and moved alongside and then slightly ahead. At this point the German either realised he would never stop in time, or he wanted to muscle and intimidate Webber across the road to ensure a better line into the hairpin. It was a deliberate move of the wheel from Vettel, not a slide under braking. Unsurprisingly, Webber never moved, contact was made, Vettel was out of the race and Webber's car was damaged. Such was the dominance of the four cars, he was able to pit for repairs and still have seven seconds in hand over Michael Schumacher's fourth-placed Mercedes, a gap he quickly stretched to more than 20 seconds. McLaren were partly gifted a one-two but that's a little unfair because their pace was such that they pressured Red Bull into this scenario. I spoke with Christian Horner and Helmut Marko of Red Bull immediately after the race. They asked how I called it on TV and I told them I said it was 100% Vettel's fault for swerving into Webber. They clearly disagreed and said that Webber should never have been squeezing his team-mate onto the dirty part of the race track when as a team they needed to be defending against the ever-present McLarens. There's some substance to that argument but the bottom line is that Vettel turning right into the side of Webber's car was not the right answer. He so nearly wiped him out for a second time in the run-off area at the hairpin, too. The team can't expect Webber to score three consecutive dominant pole positions and wipe the floor with all comers, including his team-mate, in the previous two races in Spain and Monaco and then suddenly turn all passive the first time Vettel makes a move on him.

Last August, the mayor of Spoleto, Fabrizio Cardarelli, announced a campaign to create what he called the Casa Modigliani to exhibit Modigliani reproductions, promote contemporary Italian artists, and celebrate in 2020 the centenary of Modigliani’s death. Jeanne Modigliani’s daughter Laure Nechtschein Modigliani, who lives in Paris, said she believes that her mother never gave the archive to Parisot but rather entrusted it to him so that he could use it. In 2014, Nechtstein Modigliani tried to regain control of the archive, but an Italian court ruled in favor of Parisot. (Parisot did not respond to repeated requests to be interviewed for this story.)

This amiable Monarch seems born to have suffered Misfortunes equal to those of his lovely Grandmother; Misfortunes which he could not deserve since he was her descendant. Never certainly were there before so many detestable Characters at one time in England as in this period of its History; Never were amiable Men so scarce. The number of them throughout the whole Kingdom amounting only to five , besides the inhabitants of Oxford who were always loyal to their King & faithful to his interests. The names of this noble five who never forgot the duty of the Subject, or swerved from their attachment to his Majesty, were as follows The King himself, ever steadfast in his own support Archbishop Laud, Earl of Strafford, Viscount Faulkland, & Duke of Ormond, who were scarcely less strenuous or zealous in the cause. While the Villains of the time would make too long a list to be written or read; I shall therefore content myself with mentioning the leaders of the Gang. Cromwell, Fairfax, Hampden, & Pym may be considered as the original Causers of all the disturbances, Distresses, & Civil Wars in which England for many years was embroiled. In this reign as well as in that of Elizabeth, I am obliged in spite of my attachment to the Scotch, to consider them as equally guilty with the generality of the English, since they dared to think differently from their Sovereign, to forget the Adoration which as Stuarts it was their Duty to pay them, to rebel against, dethrone & imprison the unfortunate Mary; to oppose, to deceive, and to sell the no less unfortunate Charles. The Events of this Monarch's reign are too numerous for my pen, and inded the recital of any Events (except what I make myself) is uninteresting to me; my principal reason for undertaking the History of England being to prove the innocence of the Queen of Scotland, which I flatter myself with having effectually done, and to abuse Elizabeth, tho' I am rather fearful of having fallen short in the latter part of my Scheme. . As therefore it is not my intention to give any particular account of the distresses into which this King was involved through the misconduct & Cruelty of his Parliament, I shall satisfy myself with vindicating him from the Reproach of arbitrary & tyrannical Government with which he has often been charged.
At the time, it seemed like a way to cut down on crushing debt costs. Yet the millions that the MBTA is paying to banks because of ill-considered interest rate swaps shows why the agency never should have entered into these complex financial deals — and why it should seek better terms now. The T entered into interest-rate swaps in the early 2000s, when interest rates seemed low and were expected to rise. In these deals, the T issued bonds to banks and agreed to pay them back at a fixed rate. In exchange, banks would pay the T at rates that varied with the market. The swaps turned into bad bets when interest rates dipped to historic lows as a result of the financial collapse. Now the T, like transit agencies across the country, is paying down debt at rates far higher than what’s available on the market, costing the T almost $26 million each year, according to a study from a group called the ReFund Transit Coalition. The T can only refinance if it pays a huge exit fee — a step that other public transit agencies have taken. As lawmakers scrape around for money to close current deficits and prevent future ones at the MBTA, the transit agency and lawmakers should try to find ways out of the swaps. While the banks will likely argue that these are contracts that can’t be broken, the T should still try to renegotiate. Public agencies in California, including a San Francisco museum and the city of Richmond, have successfully renegotiated swaps by stressing their fiscal struggles, while Oakland is currently in swap refinancing talks with Goldman Sachs. The T could also note that banks profiting from swaps — Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and UBS — all benefited from the federal bailout as the nation plunged into recession. A troubled but essential transit agency deserves the same consideration in its time of need.

Residents across the viewing area are dealing with the aftermath of a powerful line of thunderstorms that triggered tornado warnings and widespread reports of damage across the Triangle Wednesday. In all, there were more than 20 tornado warnings for the Triangle area.Officials from the National Weather Service are expected to assess the damage later Thursday to determine if tornadoes were to blame and what their intensity was.Due to the storms, Duke Progress Energy crews have been working around the clock to repair many power outages.The linger outages has forced Spring Creek Middle and Spring Creek High schools in Wayne County to operate on a three hour delay Thursday morning.As of 6:30 a.m., hundreds of customers were still in the dark in Durham, Wake, Orange, Moore, Granville, Franklin and Johnston counties due to damaged power lines from down trees and debris.On Trevor Circle and Chauncer in Durham, several trees went down Wednesday evening, mostly doing minimal harm, but one fell on Jerry Dodd's car minutes after his wife returned home. "Fortunately she was okay," Dodd said. "She was inside with the dogs and the wind became pretty ferocious so she climbed into the closet under the stairs with the dogs and she heard the actual crash. "In Granville County, a home was destroyed in the Huntsboro community near the Henderson-Oxford airport. Several more homes were damaged.Residents described the loud noise and seeing things flying around. Amazingly, no one was hurt. "We've been fortunate so far with no reports of serious injuries or widespread damages, but we're not out of the woods yet," Gov. Pat McCrory said. "We've seen before how deadly overnight storms can be. Please continue to stay tuned to the weather and heed directions from your local officials.
Yes, it's true that a movie sometimes has advantages over print, but in general to make a movie out of a book one has to reduce it to action and dialogue, and all the exposition and analysis has to be removed. The time frame of a movie also means that a great deal of detail will be cut out. Not much meaningful discussion can take place when the person to whom one is speaking is convinced that books and movies are simply different "media" providing the same educational service.A similar decline can be found in formal education. There was a time when the purpose of a university education was to allow young people to explore the outer regions of space and time. Now it's just training in how to use a cash register. The lowest clerk in the huge building labeled "administration" has a more pleasant job, and much greater job security, than the average instructor. It's money that keeps the university churning, apparently, not some vague and pretentious search for wisdom. Teachers are day-laborers, easily replaced, and it takes no great skill to deal with the reading materials supplied by the corporations for their future slaves. "Education" of the new sort is more form than substance: teachers are so afraid of being accused of heresy that the students are given little real information. The average young person in the modern world spends about twenty thousand hours doing school work, yet nearly all of that is a waste of time, because a job at the end of that road does not require the ability to think in any Platonic or Aristotelian sense. Modern education involves little real learning, and far more time is spent on mere indoctrination.In fact the entire moral and intellectual fabric of Western society has been disintegrating. To a large extent the destruction can be blamed on Marxism. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Marxism never had much luck in intellectual contests among Westerners, so it had to burrow underground as "cultural Marxism," eroding the foundations of modern society and leaving most people in a state of perpetual self-doubt and abnegation.As these subtle forms of Marxism spread, any form of "nationalism," any statement of pride in one's country, was discredited. Furthermore, any specific form of ethnicity or religion was downplayed. Western culture in general was denigrated, and Westerners were largely associated with colonialism. Reversing colonialism meant celebrating non-Western cultures.
For centuries humanity has been trapped in this loop of violence because a philosophical advancement has failed to occur. We have known the path to take for ages, we all talk about it in every culture, in the hypocritical rhetoric of every government. Equal rights and universal standards, peace, freedom and justice. These are the ideals that we all speak of, but many fail to live by. These are the ideals that will change the world if embraced, but it is not going to happen by voting an aristocratic liar into a position of power. It will only happen through intelligent people talking about these ideas and coming up with new ways to actually integrate them into society. (4) Support or Start Mutual Aid Groups – As an article pointed out this week, mutual aid groups were one of the most popular ways that people ensured the welfare of their families and neighbors before the government created programs to make everyone depend on them for help. Years later we can see the results of this approach, as these programs are in total disarray because their purpose was never actually to help people, and those involved have no real incentive to make these programs productive because they aren’t even a part of the community that depends on them. This is what makes mutual aid groups different. First off, these are all programs which are joined by choice and funded voluntarily and they allow people to directly interact with whoever they are helping and with whoever is helping them. These programs are highly efficient and realistic even in today’s world. As I pointed out last week a variation of this idea is already becoming popular among jobless people in Spain, who have been using mutual aid organizations called time banks, to help each other weather the tough times. (5) Support or Create Alternative Currency – There are alternative currencies popping up all over the world, and all over the Internet as well. Bitcoin has been the primary currency used online, but the market is open to competitors so Bitcoin will have to actually continue to satisfy customers, or it will surely give way to a more user friendly currency, something that the Federal Reserve System has never had to do because they monopolize the currency.
Month Settlement Information January A culture based upon the concepts of human sacrifice and prosthetic enhancement. Architecture showed considerable influence from the historical Aztec civilization. The culture showed a similar level of technology to that civilization, apart from the field of prosthesis, where they showed considerable prowess. February A population of warlike tribal mathematicians. It considered the solving of complex equations as both a show of strength and as a proving ritual for youth. Despite their mathematical prowess, they displayed primitive levels of technology and so their initial aggression only caused negligible disruption to containment. March A culture based around the worship of artificial polymers, which was also their main building material. The factories in SCP-1607 producing these were considered holy places by the temples. A mannequin was presented to the culture as a diplomatic gift, which they accepted. April A population which purported to be ruled by the corpse of their leader, who had apparently been dead for several hundred years. In efforts to mimic their leader, many individuals inside SCP-1607 dressed in rotting clothes and wore cosmetics to make themselves more corpselike. Being buried alive was considered to be a great honor extended to the elderly and sick, and was strictly voluntary. May A settlement in which the successor to a deceased ruler would adopt their name and go through cosmetic surgery in order to resemble that ruler. During manifestation, the culture was experiencing a crisis in which the twin brother of the previous ruler, who resembled them without the use of cosmetic surgery, was disputing the claim of the lawful successor to leadership of the culture. Some hostile action was required to prevent disruption of containment. June A population devoted to the building of massive wooden structures, followed by the burning of said structures as a sacrifice to their gods. Painful burns were considered to be a mark of class. Criminals were executed via drowning. July A population devoted to worshiping other members of said culture. Individuals would pray and offer sacrifices to other individuals, while these acts were performed for them by others. Every building in SCP-1607 was considered a temple to an individual member of the population. August A population which purported to be highly peaceful and pacifistic. Structures and clothing were made from the byproducts of the naturally deceased, while those who did not follow the culture's laws were dropped into one of several pits located in SCP-1607.
Two video games based on the official board game were released in 1998 and 2004. Axis & Allies by Hasbro released in 1998. It features a departure from the original A&A: Classic world map and introduces several tactical battlefield scenarios. Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz released as an updated version in 1999 with minor additional rules and features marines, paratroopers, destroyers, and kamikazes. Axis & Allies: RTS by TimeGate Studios released in 2004 and is primarily based on real-time strategy gameplay. Axis & Allies: RTS Collector's Edition released as an expanded version in 2006. The game became TimeGate's best-selling game. [12] In 2008, Wizards of the Coast created an online version of Axis & Allies as part of their Gleemax game site. When Gleemax was cancelled the game found its way to the GameTable Online game site, who programmed the game for Wizards of the Coast. The initial version was based on the 2004 Revised edition. [13] In September 2010 GameTable Online has developed a new version based on the Axis & Allies: 1942 set. [14] Unfortunately, Game Table Online is no longer available, as it shut down in 2015. Axis and Allies and many different variants can currently be played via the TripleA website. Also available is "TripleA", an open source adaptation of Axis & Allies made using Java. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It allows users to play single player against an AI, or hot-seat against other friends in the same room. It allows multiplayer on an online lobby, and also over email (PBEM) and network connections. Originally released in 2002, it has been steadily improving and is now on stable version 1.9, which is able to play the major versions of Axis and Allies: Classic, Revised, 50th Anniversary Edition, Spring 1942, and others. It also hosts many fan created maps, which have similar rules to Axis and Allies, but use a different setup or a different map or era altogether (like maps based on other conflicts, like World War 1 or Napoleon's conquests).
I am not a stakeholder of Boolberry (and I like the name btw.. you guys get too much hate for that), but I think implementing something like this that attempts to mitigate (possibly solve again depending on the coin's success) this issue is of great importance. Most people don't think about this issue, and there are several cryptocurrencies with fast emission rates that ended up vulnerable and got attacked due to this exact issue. Quarkcoin to name one... I am sure there are others, but I don't follow every coin under the sun. The issue of transfer fees being enough (or not) to pay for a secure blockchain is something that is often overlooked with most cryptocurrencies. This is one of the biggest gripes I've had with PoW cryptocurrencies, and is part of the reason I support PoS cryptocurrencies (along with PoW cryptocurrencies.) This is a benefit to PoS coins that I always forget to bring up in PoW v. PoS debates for some reason... even though I've thought about this issue a lot before! !I do not think that anyone can be certain that even a tail emission will be sufficient to solve this problem. For tail emissions (or finite) cryptocurrencies to work, a cryptocurrency would have to be a great success. What I mean by great success is a very high market cap with a decent number of transactions per second (or a decent market cap with a lot of transactions per second... but the former is more likely due to decentralized TPS issues.) In other words, the stars will need to align for any finite (or a tail emission) be able to pay for a secure enough blockchain after their emission rate diminishes greatly.I am not a stakeholder of Boolberry (and I like the name btw.. you guys get too much hate for that), but I think implementing something like this that attempts to mitigate (possibly solve again depending on the coin's success) this issue is of great importance.

In Leontine Sagan’s 1931 film “Mädchen in Uniform,” the first sympathetic portrayal of lesbians onscreen, a boarding-school pupil named Manuela plays the title role in a school production of Friedrich Schiller’s 1787 play “Don Carlos,” an emblematic Romantic tale of forbidden love and resistance to tyranny. “A moment passed in paradise is not too dearly bought with death,” Manuela declaims onstage, conveying Don Carlos’s love for his stepmother. Afterward, fortified by punch, Manuela announces her love for one of her teachers, precipitating a scandal. The episode suggests the degree to which the German cultural and intellectual tradition, particularly in the Romantic age, which stretched from Goethe and Schiller to Schopenhauer and Wagner, emboldened those who came to identify themselves as gay and lesbian. (“Schiller sometimes writes very freely,” an elderly woman worriedly observes in Sagan’s film.) Close to the heart of the Romantic ethos was the idea that heroic individuals could attain the freedom to make their own laws, in defiance of society. Literary figures pursued a cult of friendship that bordered on the homoerotic, although most of the time the fervid talk of embraces and kisses remained just talk. But the poet August von Platen’s paeans to soldiers and gondoliers had a more specific import: “Youth, come! Walk with me, and arm in arm / Lay your dark cheek on your / Bosom friend’s blond head!” Platen’s leanings attracted an unwelcome spotlight in 1829, when the acidly silver-tongued poet Heinrich Heine, insulted by anti-Semitic remarks that Platen had lobbed at him, satirized his rival as a womanly man, a lover of “passive, Pythagorean character,” referring to the freed slave Pythagoras, one of Nero’s male favorites. Heine’s tone is merrily vicious, but he inserts one note of compassion: had Platen lived in Roman times, “it may be that he would have expressed these feelings more openly, and perhaps have passed for a true poet.” In other words, repression had stifled Platen’s sexuality and, thus, his creativity. Gay urges welled up across Europe during the Romantic era; France, in particular, became a haven, since statutes forbidding sodomy had disappeared from its books during the Revolutionary period, reflecting a distaste for law based on religious belief. The Germans, though, were singularly ready to utter the unspeakable.
Smartmatic has a history of involvement in questionable election results. In 2004, Smartmatic deployed voting machines to Venezuela for a presidential recall referendum.13 This election was statistically analyzed by Cordero and Marquez in International Statistical Review, who found the results had substantial irregularities, with an estimated double digit discrepancy in the final percentage result.14 Further analyses published in Statistical Science have investigated the election result,15 concluding that it was likely that election fraud had occurred.16 Leaked international cables show State Department officials discussing the allegations of fraud and corruption surrounding Smartmatic in Venezuela elections.17 6. Smartmatic bought Sequoia, then sold it after the transaction was scrutinized by the US government. In 2005, Smartmatic purchased Sequoia Voting Systems.18 During a March 2006 primary election in Illinois, election problems with Sequoia machines raised allegations of a possible “international conspiracy to subvert the electoral process in the United States of America.”19 After the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States investigated Smartmatic’s takeover of Sequoia, and the possible national security implications,20 Smartmatic announced their intent to sell Sequoia in late 2006, and divested of Sequoia in late 2007.21 7. Smartmatic is likely still clandestinely involved with Sequoia voting machines, via retained intellectual property rights. After being purchased away from Smartmatic in 2007 by a group of executives, Jack Blaine, the CEO of Sequoia, told Chicago election officials that the divestiture made Sequoia fully independent from Smartmatic. This turned out to be false, and Blaine was forced to walk back his statements. Smartmatic still retained legal ownership of the intellectual property used in all Sequoia voting machines.22 Currently Sequoia branded machines are owned by Dominion Voting Systems Corp., but the intellectual property is retained by Smartmatic.23 8. Sequoia is being used in [ ] County. According to VerifiedVoting.org, the voting machine technologies in use for [ ] County for the 2016 General Election are the [ ] – all Sequoia branded machines.24 The [ ] is equipped with a “voter-verified paper audit trail,”25 but election fraud is likely to be caught long after the act has already occurred and the party that benefited from the fraud is in power. 9. Voting machines in US election year 2016 are susceptible to fraud and cannot be trusted. In the 2016 Democratic primary election of Massachusetts, between candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, there are documented vote count discrepancies connected to computerized voting machine technology that favor Clinton beyond the statistical margin of error.
He isn't quick to pursue the ball off the rim, but he shows the mobility necessary to step away from the rim and hold his own from time to time.Austin put together a very nice NCAA Tournament performance, and while the lack of discernable improvement this season has certainly hurt his perception among scouts, he remains a rare and intriguing talent with his size, skill level, and shot blocking ability, even after revealing that he's blind in one eye. He'll need to improve his efficiency offensively and get significantly stronger to put himself in better position to contribute at the next level in the coming seasons, but will draw interest in the first round and could fit well on a roster that has the luxury of being patient with his long-term development in the next two to three years.We've taken a more visual look at his strengths and weaknesses thanks to game film from Baylor in the following video scouting report, courtesy of Mike Schmitz.All of our video scouting reports this season can be found here.
I think I have the potential too, as long as I keep practicing and improving my play, to where I can compete with the top players, and hopefully make a name for myself.

According to the FTC, AT&T turned a blind eye while a myriad of companies billed the company's customers for a variety of services they never asked for -- usually to the tune of $10 or so a month. The complaint states that AT&T usually kept around 35% of the proceeds, incentivizing the carrier's apathy and encouragement of the practice. The settlement notes that customers are also eligible for refunds, and if they were a victim of AT&T's cramming practices can apply for a refund here. The agency states that their investigation found that at times, user complaints impacted as many as 40% of AT&T subscriptions in a month. The agency notes that in 2011 alone, AT&T received more than 1.3 million calls to its customer service department about the charges. Yet despite this customer outrage AT&T made it increasingly more difficult for consumers to get refunds. The company in 2011 actually reduced the number of months of bogus charges they were willing to provide refunds for from three to two, and the FTC states AT&T intentionally designed their bill appearance to make ferreting out these charges more difficult. As I've noted in the past, AT&T certainly isn't alone in turning a blind eye to this practice, and you can probably expect similar settlements with Sprint and Verizon before long. The FTC sued T-Mobile earlier this year for their role in cramming, and that case is currently ongoing. Pressure mounted on regulators to finally start doing something when a 2012 study by the Senate Commerce Science and Transportation Committee found that landline consumers alone were charged $10 billion in third-party, unauthorized fees during a five year span. The study also found that AT&T, Qwest, Verizon and CenturyLink made at least $650 million as their cut during that time period. Only once landline usage was all but dead did carriers outright ban cramming on landlines in 2012. Sensing regulatory scrutiny, AT&T finally discontinued billing for premium wireless SMS service in December of last year. While AT&T probably makes $105 million in the time it took you to read this, the government finally doing its job and addressing such obvious fraud is still a win for end users who've been dealing with these obnoxious, bogus charges for years.
General Discussion The present findings demonstrate that reminders of one's mortality—inducing a state of mortality salience—promote relative support for IDT, and skepticism toward ET. Individuals respond to existential threat by becoming more accepting of a theory that offers a greater sense of meaning by depicting human life as having ultimate purpose (while appearing consistent with the scientific worldview), and/or less supportive of the theory that is the true mainstay of the scientific worldview but seems to offer little in the way of existential comfort. These findings also suggest that a desire to find greater meaning in human life accounts for this effect (at least the effect of mortality salience on belief in IDT), because it is reversed by making ET more meaningful, and among natural-science students for whom ET is presumably already meaningful. The findings are notable because they (a) help explain why some people are motivated to believe in IDT and doubt ET in terms of fundamental psychological drives; (b) account for the underlying causal process; and (c) emerged regardless of preexisting religious ideologies, religious affiliation, or (with one highly limited exception, discussed below) views of evolution. This last point suggests that although religion influences baseline beliefs in IDT and ET, it cannot account for the impact of MS on these views. Given previous research suggesting that many MS effects are heightened, or occur only, among individuals with certain preexisting belief systems or cultural associations, the fact that we found no moderators of MS effects—other than the extent to which naturalism is seen as meaningful—suggests that embracing IDT or rejecting ET may be a unique, broadly appealing mechanism that addresses the existential concerns of religious and, for the most part, more scientifically oriented individuals alike. In contrast, explicitly religious ideologies tend to be fairly parochial, limiting their appeal and making them viable defenses only for those who already believe in a supernatural god [15]. Yet, an exception emerged in Study 5, where individuals whose life goals require strong acceptance of ET showed the opposite responses. Like those explicitly taught, in Study 4, to view naturalism as a source of meaning, natural-science students responded to MS with stronger antagonism toward IDT. This provides converging support for the causal process found in Study 4, and suggests that rejecting IDT can be a source of existential comfort for a limited population of individuals.

Finally, while the transport facilities that support a disaggregated wholesale HSA service model were previously forborne from price regulation on a national basis, there is a risk that, in specific geographic markets, there may be limited availability of such facilities. While investment in and deployment of competitive transport facilities was no doubt impacted by the availability of aggregated wholesale HSA services, it may take time for competitors to build the necessary transport facilities, a factor to consider when phasing out aggregated wholesale HSA services. The ultimate goal is to have a smooth transition, over time, where competitor adoption of disaggregated wholesale HSA services increases, spurred by increasing consumer demand for higher-speed services, over an increasingly broader geographic area, with a corresponding reduction in aggregated HSA service coverage. Given the above, the Commission considers that the measures identified below are appropriate to support the implementation of disaggregated wholesale HSA services. First, since the demand for wholesale HSA services is currently focused within certain geographic markets, disaggregated wholesale HSA services should be implemented in phases, starting with Ontario and Quebec. Other phases targeting the implementation of disaggregated HSA services in other geographic markets will be identified at a later stage. Implementation of the disaggregated wholesale HSA service in the designated geographic markets will be triggered by competitor requests for the service at specific central office and head-end locations. Incumbent carriers are to consult with their wholesale HSA service customers to identify the specific central office and head-end locations where a disaggregated wholesale HSA service will be in demand. As previously established, the Commission will not mandate the provision of aggregated wholesale HSA services, including over FTTP access facilities. Consequently, competitors desiring access to customers served by FTTP access facilities will only be able to do so by using a disaggregated wholesale HSA service. A speed threshold will also be imposed for the service speeds available over aggregated wholesale HSA services, such that download speeds in excess of 100 Mbps will be required to be made available to competitors only through the implementation of the disaggregated service. This speed threshold takes into account trends in consumption and technology, and is set at an appropriate level to minimize short-term disruptions to end-consumers.
In 1905, Harvard College adopted the College Entrance Examination Board tests as the principal basis for admission, which meant that virtually any academically gifted high-school senior who could afford a private college had a straightforward shot at attending. By 1908, the freshman class was seven per cent Jewish, nine per cent Catholic, and forty-five per cent from public schools, an astonishing transformation for a school that historically had been the preserve of the New England boarding-school complex known in the admissions world as St. Grottlesex. As the sociologist Jerome Karabel writes in “The Chosen” (Houghton Mifflin; $28), his remarkable history of the admissions process at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, that meritocratic spirit soon led to a crisis. The enrollment of Jews began to rise dramatically.By 1922, they made up more than a fifth of Harvard’s freshman class. The administration and alumni were up in arms. Jews were thought to be sickly and grasping, grade-grubbing and insular. They displaced the sons of wealthy Wasp alumni, which did not bode well for fund-raising. A. Lawrence Lowell, Harvard’s president in the nineteen-twenties, stated flatly that too many Jews would destroy the school: “The summer hotel that is ruined by admitting Jews meets its fate . . . because they drive away the Gentiles, and then after the Gentiles have left, they leave also.” The difficult part, however, was coming up with a way of keeping Jews out, because as a group they were academically superior to everyone else. Lowell’s first idea—a quota limiting Jews to fifteen per cent of the student body—was roundly criticized. Lowell tried restricting the number of scholarships given to Jewish students, and made an effort to bring in students from public schools in the West, where there were fewer Jews. Neither strategy worked. Finally, Lowell—and his counterparts at Yale and Princeton—realized that if a definition of merit based on academic prowess was leading to the wrong kind of student, the solution was to change the definition of merit. Karabel argues that it was at this moment that the history and nature of the Ivy League took a significant turn. The admissions office at Harvard became much more interested in the details of an applicant’s personal life. Lowell told his admissions officers to elicit information about the “character” of candidates from “persons who know the applicants well,” and so the letter of reference became mandatory. Harvard started asking applicants to provide a photograph.
On top of that, it has a somewhat lengthy cooldown for a builder, so you can’t use it to reliably build PP on the move. Skip it. (N/A) This ability costs more focus than a fully charged cast of Soothe and heals for much much less. Damage isn’t your responsibility as a healer, and you have several ways of building PP while moving already. No thank you!Mental Boon is a finisher that applies a powerful heal over time buff and boosts dash recovery rate. This ability gives the highest healing per GCD, but does not frontload the health, so it’s generally best used when you’re able to slowly replenish health bars rather than recover from frequent heavy hits.Increases the Dash Regeneration bonus to ( 18.5 / 27 / 35 / 42 / 60%).Increases outgoing healing by 6% for 6 seconds. (Any) Mental Boon is a very efficient heal that will improve the mobility of you and your teammates by increasing the amount of dodge rolls available. The fact that it can be applied to up to 5 targets in a large area around you makes it very attractive for PvP, but the fact that it doesn’t deliver a lot of healing in the short term is problematic in a game mode where damage is often very spiky rather than consistent. If your team is in a relatively healthy state, spending your PP on Mental Boon si a wise choice as it will help them keep their health bars from depleting too much and let them roll more frequently to avoid damage or pursue enemies. (Any) The dash regeneration is generally worthless in PvE as no encounters really require you to roll, and if they do certainly not more than twice in a very short period of time. The healing portion of this skill is still very strong, however, and improves reasonably well with ability tier points. The tier 8 bonus improves your own healing by a small amount, as well as any other healers who are affected by the buff, but is very expensive. For raiding, you’ll generally spend most of your PP on Reverie, but Mental Boon is still a very solid option for group healing, so long as your party has a somewhat longer time frame to get topped off.Warden summons a magical plant that heals single target for a moderate amount upon its appearance, then continues to heal nearby allies for 10 seconds.
“I called the woman who gave birth to me, and I told her, ‘I’ve always loved you, and I’m not going to stop loving you now, but I still think my mom is my mom,’” he said. “You should also know,” he told me, “that when my mom passed away, my babysitter was next to her in the hospital, at her bedside.” As Rórion revealed the lie that shaped his life, I began to understand the naked psychological forces that account for the Gracies’ unusual inner strength and openness to suffering. It occurred to me that these were the same qualities that can make it impossible for them to say a kind word about each other. We shared the quiet of the car for a moment, watching the play of the headlights ahead, until Rórion broke the silence. “There is another part to this story,” he said matter-of-factly. “When I was 17 years old, my dad said, ‘Listen, would you like to have more brothers and sisters?’ I said, ‘Of course.’ He asked me, ‘How many would you like?’ I said 20. He told me, ‘Well, you don’t have 20, but you have four more.’ … It was like the floor was falling out from under me, but then my dad continued. He said, ‘Let me tell you one thing. I love your mom; I will stay with her forever.’ Then he asked me, ‘Do you want to go see the kids?’” The mistress, who was the mother of Rórion’s brother Royce, had worked as a secretary at the Gracie Academy. She had eyes for Hélio, but she arranged to marry another man because she wanted children and thought it would be impossible to have them with Hélio, who already had a wife. “Then Uncle Carlos came and told her there was a way she could have children with the man she admired [Hélio],” Rórion said. “He worked out a deal with her family where she would get a house. This did not happen with my mother’s knowledge.”

‘Lifestyle is the way a person distinguishes himself or herself. It is the artistry of living.… Nationality and class have been replaced by lifestyle.” Don’t take my word for it. That’s coming from Ian Schrager, the Buddha of disco, the Confucius of the dirty weekend. Consider that statement: heritage, achievement, geography, and history are all passé. Over. What really matters is your thread count, your iPod menu, and the table they give you. Schrager sent me the glossy self-published book of his gnomic thoughts in a box of Plexiglas wonder, complete with two DVDs. He sent it to my home in Chelsea. Chelsea, London. This tome of gravid aperçu was a brochure—though “brochure” seems too mean a word—for a building at 40 Bond Street that is as yet unbuilt. Prices start at $3.35 million for a 1,269-square-foot one-bedroom. “This is what I did with my nightclubs and hotels and I intend to do with people’s homes.” Imagine that: coming home and finding a shrieking gay Cuban bouncer with a clipboard on the door; three peroxided trust-fund brats with added silicone bits, all talking at once, locked in the bathroom; and a family from Idaho in town to see The Producers asleep in your bedroom. On the façade of the new Schrager building there will be a fretwork squiggle made from aluminum. They’re calling it a “sculptural gate.” They’re so pleased with the squiggle pattern, they’ve shaved it into the floors, stamped it on the walls, engraved it in the glass, and put it on the cover of the brochure. They boast that it’s an extrapolation from New York City street graffiti. So, after they clean up the street and move out the kids who do the graffiti, they offer you chic designer graffiti instead. No one seems to have noticed the irony of this or, indeed, seen the writing on the wall. New New York’s design revolution is not meant for New Yorkers. It’s built for New New Yorkers, and they have altogether more suburban, provincial insecurities and private desires.
Some of the milestones along the way include: - The Cassandra Query Language, which offers a more intuitive data model and a performant native protocol while retaining backwards compatibility with data created under the old Apache Thrift API; - Lightweight transactions, an industry first that allows users and applications to opt into a linearly consistent world view as necessary; - An innovative virtual node design that allows expanding a cluster in increments as small as a single machine, and across heterogeneous hardware; - A powerful log-structured storage engine featuring advanced compaction, compression, and SSD support; - Thousands of enhancements from running the world's most demanding applications at scale, informing better performance, better drivers, and better management tools. Improved Performance in Real-world Situations Apache Cassandra powers hundreds of applications across dozens of industries that demand high performance at scale. By addressing the needs of different workloads, Cassandra has evolved beyond its initial niche in social media into a truly general purpose solution. Apache Cassandra is used by many highly-visible organizations including: Adobe, Comcast, Disney, eBay, Eventbrite, GE, GoDaddy, HP, IBM, Instagram, Intuit, Netflix, Pearson, Safeway, Sky, Sony, Spotify, Travelocity, The Weather Channel, and Zoosk, among others. Additional organizations using Apache Cassandra can be found at http://planetcassandra.org/companies/ "We knew Apache Cassandra could perform linear scaling of reads and writes with consistent performance." --David Weinstein, Director of Software Development, Adobe "Before adopting Cassandra, we could not monitor every malicious site and IP forever – the data volumes were just too great. No other database was ready for what we needed to do." --Michael Kjellman, Software Engineer, Barracuda Networks "Apache Cassandra provides us with an easy to use backend and lets us focus on our implementation and features." --Andreas Wagner, Lead Developer, CumulusRDF at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) "Apache Cassandra is critical for being able to look up historical behavior data quickly, so that we can do these model updates with low latency." --Thomas Pinckney, Senior Director of Engineering, eBay "Apache Cassandra provides us an easy way of providing a highly available store and not have to worry about things like sharding, multi-datacenter support and things like that. Cassandra is an amazing store. Some of the features that you get out of the box are pretty incredible. I think one of the reasons why Cassandra has taken off and is doing so well is because of its awesome community."
larger image TIFF original image Download: Table 4. Zero-order Correlations. Correlations of the 9-item Moralized Rationality Scale and the 6-item Importance of Rationality Scale with Each of the Moral Foundations. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0166332.t004 As can be seen in Table 4, the IRS showed a very different pattern of correlations with the moral foundations than did the MRS. In all studies, the IRS was positively related to Care/harm, Fairness/cheating, and Liberty/oppression. Moreover, the IRS was negatively related to Loyalty/betrayal in three studies, to Authority/subversion in four studies, and to Sanctity/degradation in all five studies. This pattern of correlations is not surprising, in light of the fact that the IRS is correlated with a liberal orientation on social issues [76]. Discussion and introduction to Studies 7–9: Testing the predictive validity of the MRS The findings from Study 5, as well as the consistently low correlations between the MRS and all of the moral foundations across five studies, lead us to conclude that the MRS is a valid measure of individual differences in the inclination to moralize rationality. In the final three studies we turn to the predictive validity of the MRS. To the extent that the MRS taps into meaningful individual differences in the inclination to moralize rational ways of forming and evaluating beliefs, it should affect reactions to acts that violate (vs. uphold) rational principles across various different domains. Specifically, we should expect individuals who score high (vs. low) on the MRS to judge acts that violate (vs. uphold) rational principles of forming and evaluating beliefs as less moral. Expressed differently, the MRS should moderate the extent to which people view an act that violates rational principles as less moral than an act that upholds rational principles. People who moralize rationality should not only respond more strongly to irrational (vs. rational) acts, but also towards the actors themselves. We tested this notion in various different ways. First, it is well established that people assign blame to those who act in immoral ways [46, 77, 78]. Because individuals who score high (vs. low) on moralized rationality should view irrational acts as immoral, they should also assign more blame to a person who acts in a way that violates (vs. upholds) rational principles.
Meadows: I don’t either. We have lost the opportunity of choice anyway. Our planet will do it. FORMAT: How? Meadows: Let’s stay on diet. Do the mathematics, take food per person since the 90s. The production is growing, but the population is growing faster. Behind every calorie of food that comes to the plate, ten calories of fossil fuels or oil are used for its production, transportation, storage, preparation and disposal. The less oil reserves and fossil fuels, the more the increase in food prices. FORMAT: So it’s not just a distribution problem? Meadows: Of course not. If we share it equitably, nobody would starve. But the fact is, it needs fossil fuels such as oil, gas or coal for food production. But those supplies are running low. Whether or not new shale oil and gas reserves are exploited, peak oil and peak gas are past. This means tremendous pressure on the entire system. FORMAT: According to your models the population, which in 2050 will be around 9.5 billion people, even with a stagnation of food production for another 30, 40 years. Meadows: And that means that there will be a lot of very poor people. Considerably more than half of humanity. Today we can not feed a large portion of humanity sufficiently. All the resources that we know of are declining. One can only guess where this will lead. There are too many “ifs” for the future: If people are smarter, if there is no war, if we make a technological advancement. We are now already at the point where we cannot cope with our problems, how we should do it in 50 years, when they are bigger? FORMAT: And blame is our way of doing business? Meadows: Our economic and financial system, we do not just get something. It is a tool that we have developed and that reflects our goals and values. People do not worry about the future, but only about their current problems. That is why we have such a serious debt crisis. Debt is the opposite of that, worrying about the future. Anyone who takes on debt says: I do not care what happens. And when for many people the future does not matter, they will create an economic and financial system that destroys the future. You can tweak this system as long as you want. As long as you do not change the values of the people, it will continue.
It's been previously confirmed that the movie will be set in 1983 - approximately 20 years after the events in X-Men:First Class - and is expected to primarily focus on a cast that includes James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult. It has been previously said that the production is also looking to cast younger versions of characters we first met in the original X-Men trilogy as students at Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters.

In other words, what has happened here from a soul-centred perspective is an enantiodromia, or spontaneous reversion of one extreme to its denied opposite, which occurs when one pole of any dynamic duality is pushed to its extreme for long enough. For many hundreds of years the 'spiritual' explanation prevailed, until its shadow side, or opposite, materialism, was finally triggered and from then on preached with no less dogmatic zeal and blinker-visioned one-sidedness. Jung, after his later work on synchronicity, or the acausal and wholistic mirroring of mind and matter, would of course have argued that to reduce psychosis to a physical explanation is to assume the physical causation of psychic events; that is to assume, firstly, that the physical is primary and the psychic derived, or secondary; secondly that causality is the only valid explanatory framework in which to explore such matters. But from the equally valid perspective of synchronicity, every physical event has a psychic component, every psychic one a physical 'mirror', since the two extremes form the poles of a wholistic continuum, whose underlying ground is a (hypothetical) unitary matrix of being. Opposed to the wholism of synchronicity is the radical dualism of matter and spirit, through which one pole or the other inevitably becomes privileged. As the reverse of materialism, the view that mental illness was the work of evil spirits prevailed until the end of the nineteenth century, such that the patient was considered to be possessed and treatment included exorcism by a priest. A more ancient view was that every sickness was the revenge of an offended and angry deity, a perspective which has returned in a new guise and on a new wholistic level of awareness with the emphasis in 'archetypal psychology' circles on what I call 'mythic contextualization'. The latter, as a perspective which endows suffering with meaning and direction, involves placing the wound in the context of whatever universally human themes, or mythological patterns of response to pain have been constellated through and reside in the wound. More will be said about myth as a dramatization of wounding and healing later on. Returning to the dogmatic, or metaphysically biased underpinning of biologic psychiatry, I hope it will become clearer as this discussion unfolds that everything we say, believe, devalue, negate, feel, hate and fear is ultimately psychic, that is, riddled with unspoken assumptions, cultural bias, unconscious influences, unresolved conflicts and quirks of personality.
Let me add a final remark about Faurisson’s alleged “anti-Semitism.” Note first that even if Faurisson were to be a rabid anti-Semite and fanatic pro-Nazi — such charges have been presented to me in private correspondence that it would be improper to cite in detail here — this would have no bearing whatsoever on the legitimacy of the defense of his civil rights. On the contrary, it would make it all the more imperative to defend them since, once again, it has been a truism for years, indeed centuries, that it is precisely in the case of horrendous ideas that the right of free expression must be most vigorously defended; it is easy enough to defend free expression for those who require no such defense. Putting this central issue aside, is it true that Faurisson is an anti-Semite or a neo-Nazi? As noted earlier, I do not know his work very well. But from what I have read — largely as a result of the nature of the attacks on him — I find no evidence to support either conclusion. Nor do I find credible evidence in the material that I have read concerning him, either in the public record or in private correspondence. As far as I can determine, he is a relatively apolitical liberal of some sort. In support of the charge of anti-Semitism, I have been informed that Faurisson is remembered by some schoolmates as having expressed anti-Semitic sentiments in the 1940s, and as having written a letter that some interpret as having anti-Semitic implications at the time of the Algerian war. I am a little surprised that serious people should put such charges forth — even in private — as a sufficient basis for castigating someone as a long-time and well-known anti-Semitic. I am aware of nothing in the public record to support such charges. I will not pursue the exercise, but suppose we were to apply similar standards to others, asking, for example, what their attitude was towards the French war in Indochina, or to Stalinism, decades ago. Perhaps no more need be said.
The trend in the association between increased fish consumption and decreased colorectal cancer risk was highly statistically significant (P trend <.001). Results from animal and in vitro studies indicate that n 3 fatty acids, especially the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, which are present in fatty cold-water fish and fish oils, inhibit carcinogenesis (42). However, we were unable to differentiate between intakes of fatty fish, which contains the majority of n–3 fatty acids and other fish. Furthermore, heterogeneity was encountered among the different cohorts, and it is not clear whether this heterogeneity could be explained by unaccounted for differences in the fat content of fish (27), in cooking practices across EPIC cohorts (33), or by the small numbers of case patients in some centers. Our study has several limitations. Most important, methods used in nutritional epidemiology are known to provide imprecise estimates of food intake. Random measurement errors of food intake lead to the attenuation of the disease risk estimates (43). We attempted to correct for this error by adjusting for total energy intake and body weight, because adjustment for self-reported total energy intake is thought to partially correct for measurement error (44). Body weight was also included because it has been suggested to be a better measure of real, unmeasured energy intake than energy intake derived from dietary questionnaires (45). Furthermore, as a novel procedure to correct the relative risk estimates for de-attenuation, we calibrated the dietary questionnaires using a more detailed reference method, the 24-hour diet recall, under the assumption that a single 24-hour recall provides unbiased estimates of dietary intake at a group level. This choice maximizes the statistical power for adjusting relative risk estimates, but it does not permit the correction of hazard ratios associated with quantiles of intakes (43). The method of calibration that we used assumes that there are no correlations of errors produced by the reference method (24-hour diet recall) and the dietary questionnaire (46,47). In practice, however, there is evidence that the individual errors of dietary measurements obtained with dietary questionnaires and 24-hour diet recalls tend to be positively correlated (48); such correlation would lead to an underestimation of the de-attenuation factor and therefore would bias the hazard ratio estimates toward the null value of 1.
The specimen we inspected, although allegedly removed and hidden, has notas far as written expressions have so far been madebeen destroyed, and the owner refused to make it available for examination by the Smithsonian Institution. Its relative value, as of now is, therefore, pointed out to be essentially and only potential proof of the continued existence of at least one form of human-like anthropoid such as up till now has been flatly denied as being possible by the majority of not only physical and cultural anthropologists but also by primatologists. As such, it is suggested that it might constitute a very valuable contribution to knowledge, and potentially to a better understanding of primate, anthropoid, and possibly hominid ancestry.

If successful, you will rate a Qualified rating and proceed to the next performance objective.The campaign covers a number of key areas including Air to Air Refueling Day and Night, Countermeasures and Threat Avoidance, Target Area Ingress Preparation, Illumination Flare Employment, Air to Air Gun and Missile Employment, Air to Ground Gun & Rocket Employment, Unguided and Guided Bomb Employment, and Missile Employment.There are over 1,200 voiceovers and over 206 pages of briefing material including the A-10C Amplified Checklist, Maps, Target Diagrams, and Mission Data cards.Additionally, 10 Practice Missions are included so you can perfect your Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) prior to taking the qualification check rides.Download from campaign section of DCS E-shop One of the great things we love about the Tiger II is the numerous and beautiful ways in which the aircraft has been painted over the years. Not just the various country operators, but the many creative ways in which it has been painted as an aggressor aircraft.Based on this and our highly-talented community of skin artist, we are offering a new contest: paint the Tiger II!Here are some of the requirements and details:The skin must be created using this template The skin can be historically accurate or fictional. However, the skin must be associated with one of the countries currently present in DCS World.Here are instructions for saving textures with MIP levels using NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop.Please upload completed skins to dedicated topic in the forum The best skins will be integrated into the DCS: F-5E Tiger II module in the game along with your credits.All winners will get valuable gifts: one key for any module in DCS World of your choice.The contest will run until 28 October 2016.Best of luck to all contestants!Our DCS: World War II set of products progress with the Spitfire making great progress and the Normandy map nearing completion. An important aspect of creating the Normandy map is also creating a set of period-appropriate units to populate the map. This includes both Allied and Axis units that span both military and civilian unit types.For this weekend’s update, we offer you an early look at a few of these new ground units.
It’s not like anybody wakes up one morning and says, “Yes, today I consciously make the decision to be hated, spat upon, disowned by family and friends, discriminated against and bullied – that’s what I choose for the rest of my life.” LGBTA people have exactly as much choice in the matter as you had about being straight. But, that’s not the issue either.Nobody’s asking for your approval to be oriented in whichever direction. They don’t want or need your permission. Honestly, Jethro, they really have about as much use for your validation as my cat does.About 20-ish years ago, I got married. It’s not the best decision I ever made, but I have my son now, so all-in-all, it could have gone worse. For this story, I’ll use the little pet name I use whenever I refer to my (now) ex-husband – Turdweasel. When Turdweasel and I decided to get married, we had to go to City Hall and pay $25 for a marriage license. We got married by a Justice of the Peace, not a preacher. Which, if you're keeping score, a Justice of the Peace is a government official, not a clergyman. At the close of the ceremony, we were given a Marriage Certificate. When we decided to get divorced, we had to go to court to sever our partnership and agree on an equitable distribution of property and child-custody. Any one of these things separately – and certainly taken all together – make our marriage a Civil Union. Along with the Marriage Certificate came all the rights of next-of-kin and legal benefits with regard to insurance, retirement benefits, inheritance, etc. Nobody would think to question my right as Turdweasel’s wife to make medical decisions for him if he were in a coma. Nobody would suggest that as his wife, he wouldn’t be able to put me on his insurance plan at work or that if he died, I wouldn’t get spousal benefits like a widow’s pension. That’s just how it works when you get married.And That Right There is The Issue, Jethro.Anybody – everybody -- who is a consenting adult should be able to wed any other consenting adult, and those wedded couples should all receive equal protection under the law – whether they’re LGBTA or straight or whatever. That’s where the problem is – they’re not getting their basic human rights recognized by their government.
BMW's Oxford factory in England is currently the favoured location for building an electric version of the Mini despite Britain's planned departure from the European Union, two sources familiar with the company's thinking told Reuters on Wednesday. Any decision by the German carmaker to commit to further spending at Oxford would be a boost to the British government, which has been warned by businesses at home and abroad that Brexit will hit investment. Mini makes around 60 percent of its approximately 360,000 compact cars a year at Oxford, but BMW has built up an alternative manufacturing base in the Netherlands amid concerns about Britain's suitability as an export hub after Brexit.Asked whether the electric Mini would be built in Britain, a BMW spokeswoman said: "A final decision has not been taken." BMW has said it has several options about where to build the vehicle, including at a plant operated by VDL Nedcar in Born, Netherlands, where a plug-in hybrid version of the Mini is already being built, or a plant in Regensburg, Germany. BMW has about 4,600 staff working in Oxford, while VDL currently employs around 4,500. That is set to rise to more than 5,000 after production of the BMW X1 model is added to the Dutch plant in August, a sharp rise from only 1,500 in 2012.Carmakers have been among the most vocal critics of Brexit, warning their global supply chains will be hit hard by any resulting introduction of tariffs.But they are also keen to have a strong position in Europe's second-biggest car market behind Germany, particularly if they can secure government guarantees. Japan's Nissan said in October it would build two new models in Britain after a government pledge to counter any adverse Brexit effects.The electric Mini will use an electric motor, components and a battery delivered from BMW's Dingolfing and Landshut plants in Bavaria, Germany.BMW executives are seeking assurances from Britain that any import duties on electric motors and batteries sent from Bavaria to Oxford could be reclaimed in full for vehicles that are then sold in the EU, one of the sources said.BMW executives believe a deal on tariffs can be struck, the source said.
For example, our betting operator needed access to the data faster than what is being sent by GOTV to some of our Twitch partners. We removed that, meaning that the betting operator — of course we lose that money, but then at least we removed that as an additional risk. They could no longer get access to data faster than other providers. We looked a lot at the demo recording into memory, which we also felt was a risk and we actually decided and determined not to do the demo recordings were we to run our local servers. Finally, we stress tested the network with CS running on all 30 computers all connected to the server, all connected to external servers, meaning private servers at FACEIT, and in the end we decided for the tournament to run with the FACEIT servers. Of course we're grateful for FACEIT for providing us, that was always meant as the backup, but we actually decided to use that as our primary servers. And the reason also being that we had sub-10 miliseconds pings to the FACEIT servers all along. PGL, who were doing the in-game production, felt confident that that was more than sufficient for them, obviously our own network had sub-milisecond pings, it would be even better, but this was the one which we felt was certainly not going to give us any issues whatsoever on the server side. That's basically what happened, I have to say that it wasn't until 4:45 Saturday morning that I felt confident when we had diagnosed ourselves out of every issue that we felt could happen. From about 5 AM we sat down and put together the exact plan of primary servers, secondary servers, tertiary servers, and together with Graham I sat down and did the plan for Saturday on backup solutions and how exactly we're going to operate it. On the servers on our own network we actually removed the demo recording, we informed our betting partner about the change in their ability to get data and so forth. The first players, NiP, showed up at about 9 AM on Saturday morning to start setting up while the cleaners and carpenters and so forth were still finishing the last things on the stage.

By the bad education which parents give to their offspring, they cause their children, says Saint John Chrysostom, to rush into many grievous vices; and thus they deliver them up to the hands of the executioner. So it was, in one town, a parent, who was the cause of all the irregularities of his children, was justly punished for his crimes with greater severity than the children themselves. Great indeed is the misfortune of the child that has vicious parents, who are incapable of bringing up their children in the fear of God, and who, when they see their children engage in dangerous friendships and in quarrels, instead of correcting and chastising them, they take compassion on them, and say, "What can I do? They are young; hopefully they will grow out of it." What wicked words, what a cruel education! Do you hope that when your children grow up, they will become saints? Listen to what Solomon says, "A young man, according to his way, even when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). A young man who has contracted a habit of sin, will not abandon it even in his old age. His bones, says holy Job, will be filled with the vices of his youth, and they will sleep with him in the dust (Job 20:11). When a young person has lived in evil habits, his bones will be filled with the vices of his youth, so that he will carry them to the grave, and the impurities, blasphemies, and hatred to which he was accustomed in his youth, will accompany him to the grave, and will sleep with him after his bones are reduced to dust and ashes. It is very easy, when they are small, to train children to habits of virtue, but, when they have come to manhood, it is equally difficult to correct them, if they have learned habits of vice.
