No idea - how do they assess your competency over the phone (except for your telephone skills)?
Question Author
I have a stammer :( I'm not bad in person but as with all stammerers, phone is a problem.
Interviewers assess competences the same way as they would face-to-face - by asking questions around examples of work-related events. For example, tell me about a time when you felt under pressure at work. Then a series of follow-up questions around how you dealt with it.
Do you know what core competences are regarded as essential for the work? Will they tell you? (they might not).
Prepare by writing up in notes examples of common traits required in most jobs - writing notes helps you by fluent when the time comes to draw on your experience to give an answer.
One of the (few) good things about a telephone interview is that the other person can't see what crib notes you have in front of you.
If the organisation is worth anything, it won't attempt a complex and deep interview over the phone - it doesn't help either party. It is best used to sort the wheat from the chaff - the real interview comes face-to-face.
It is more often usefully used to test out the worth of what is on the CV - not to test competences.
Thanks BM - that's useful to know, I've not heard of the process before.
Can you give us a clue about the type of work CC? We might be able to be a little more specific with advice if we know.
Question Author
It's a data admin role I applied through an agency. The agency interviewed me and told me that I would have to do a telephone CB interview lasting around 10 mins. I'm bit nervous as I'm very bad in phone due to my speech. Thank god the role doesn't require phone work.
Ok - so I would anticipate the questions to be more factual that personality based.
Since its a competency interview expect them to ask you about your skills in using the appropriate software, maybe your data entry speeds if appropriate and your similar previous experience. Think what you'd want to know if you were them recruiting a data admin person.
Tell them how accurate you are and how you excel at data and admin tasks. Tell them what applciations you can use and to what level. Take it slowly and breath well.
if necessary and you stammer badly, tell them you have a stammer and ask if they'd consider a competency interview by email? It might work you can never tell. They might be open minded enough to realise that you could be perfect for the job without being good on the phone.
Good luck.
Have a look at the firm itself and find out a bit about them. They will want to know if you are interested enough to look them up. I expect they have a web site somewhere which no doubt Google will be able to find for you.
If they cannot be bothered to interview you in person you are better off without them.
builders mate is spot on - you need to think of scenarios that you vann fit to a few different things depending on the question.
They will probably ask things like:
Tell me about a time where you completed something sucessfully against the odds
where something went wrong and how you dealt with it
where you worked well in a team
where you worked to tight deadlines etc etc etc
as the interview is only 10 minutes (these things often last up to 2 hours!!) there will probably be only 1 0r 2 questions and they wont expect war and peace.
They are trying to determine how you work - and even if it goes against the grain, remember tio use "I" a lot and emphasis the role you took and how it was you that helped to make the task a success.
They may aks you a negative question or two so prepare one where things didn't go according to plan - make sure it was for a reason outwith your control and remeber to tell them what you learned from it.
I would explain at the beginning that you have a speech impediment that is aggravated when you are nervous and on the phone but that doesn't impede you normally and that you just need a little longer to answer the questions.
Good Luck :o)
No Daisy its quite a common practice especially when agencies have referred people as a degree of filtering has taken place already.

We all know that taking care of your health is important. To ensure that you live a long healthy life, there are a number of things you can do, such as avoiding eating junk food or getting regular exercise. Physical health, however, is not the only aspect of your health that you should be aware of. An important part of your overall well-being stems from your mental health as well.
Mental health issues affect a large portion of the population, with 1 in 5 adults experiencing some form of mental illness in any given year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). With so many adults experiencing mental health issues, it is crucial that we prioritize our mental health and take active steps to maintain it.
At Adler Health, we believe it’s important to prioritize your mental well-being just as much as your physical health. Not only do we provide a range of mental health treatment plans, but we also impart mental health advice to those who are seeking it. In this blog, we will cover our top 10 tips to maintain your mental health. But first, why is taking care of your mental health so important?
The Importance of Maintaining Your Mental Health
You may not know it, but your mental health affects every aspect of your life. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in various situations. When you have good mental health, you are able to cope with daily stresses and challenges effectively, have healthy relationships with others, and perform well in your work or studies.
On the other hand, neglecting your mental health can have serious consequences. It can lead to a decline in your overall well-being, causing symptoms such as anxiety, or even physical health issues. Adler Health offers depression treatment in Orange County.
The Negative Impacts of Neglecting Your Mental Health
Neglecting your mental health can have a ripple effect on every aspect of your life. It may start with feeling stressed and overwhelmed, but it can quickly escalate into more serious problems. Here are some of the negative impacts that neglecting your mental health can have on you:
• Increased risk of developing mental health disorders such as depression, or substance abuse.
• Difficulty coping with daily stresses and challenges.
• Strained relationships with family, friends, and coworkers.
• Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues.
• Decreased productivity and performance at work or in school.
• Poor self-esteem and lack of motivation.

Top 10 Tips to Maintain Your Mental Health
If you think maintaining your mental health is out of reach, think again. Maintaining your mental health includes actions that you can take every single day without significantly changing up your routine. By following our top 10 tips to maintain your mental health, you can take an active role in taking care of your mental well-being and work towards a happier, healthier life.
This may be one of the most important tips to maintain your mental health. Getting enough sleep at night is crucial for both your physical and mental well-being. It helps improve your mood, reduce stress levels, and increases your ability to focus and concentrate during the day.
When a person fails to get enough sleep, they are more likely to struggle with their emotions and have difficulty dealing with stress. This can lead to a decline in mental health over time. Therefore, you should make sure you aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. To ensure that you get enough restful sleep, you should do the following:
• Establish a bedtime routine: A bedtime routine can help your brain and body wind down, making it easier for you to fall asleep. This can include: having a cup of tea, reading, taking a bath, or stretching before bed every night.
• Avoid screens before bedtime: The blue light from electronic devices can interfere with your sleep cycle and make your brain more active, making it difficult for you to fall asleep.
• Create a comfortable sleeping environment: Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool – these conditions promote better sleep quality.
• Avoid caffeine, heavy meals, and alcohol before bedtime: These substances can all interfere with your sleep quality.
By increasing the amount of hours you sleep and the quality of your sleep, you can significantly improve your mental health.
Maintaining a healthy diet is essential for more than keeping your body in good shape. Eating a balanced diet also ensures that you get the necessary nutrients to fuel your brain. A deficiency in essential vitamins like vitamin D, B12, or folic acid can lead to a number of consequences.
According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, different nutritional deficiencies (such as B12, B9, and zinc) have been linked to symptoms of depression and dementia that include low mood, fatigue, cognitive decline, and irritability. Therefore, it is important to make sure you include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet for optimum mental health.
Eating healthy is not the only way to maintain a balanced diet. It is also important to avoid foods that have been linked to poor mental health, such as processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive caffeine. These types of food can lead to mood swings and irritability. Additionally, limiting the amount of alcohol you drink and avoiding smoking can also positively impact your mental health.
Exercise is another important tool for maintaining your mental health. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that promote feelings of happiness and positivity. Regular exercise has also been linked to reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Getting regular exercise can seem intimidating to some. However, you don’t have to spend hours at the gym or engage in intense workouts. Even light physical activity can be beneficial for your mental health. These exercises can include:
• Walking or jogging: Take a walk around your neighborhood, or go for a jog in the park. You’ll be surprised how much this simple exercise can boost your mood.
• Yoga: Yoga is not only great for physical health but also for mental health. It combines physical movement and mindfulness meditation, which can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
• Dancing: Dancing is another fun and effective way to get your body moving. Whether it’s a dance class or dancing around your living room, it can improve your mood and reduce stress.
• Swimming: Swimming is a low-impact exercise that can be great for both your physical and mental health. The rhythmic motion of swimming can be calming and help clear your mind.
• Riding a bike, rollerblading, or playing a sport: Any activity that you enjoy and can get your body moving is beneficial for your mental health.
The key is to find activities you enjoy and make them a regular part of your routine. When you enjoy an activity, you are more likely to stick with it and reap the mental health benefits.
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be challenging to find time to relax. However, taking a few minutes each day to practice relaxation techniques can significantly improve your mental health. These techniques can include:
• Deep breathing exercises
• Progressive muscle relaxation
• Engaging in a hobby or activity you enjoy
Taking the time to relax can help reduce stress and promote feelings of calmness and well-being.
Our social health also plays a significant role in our mental health. Having a strong support system can provide comfort, and encouragement, and help us cope with life’s challenges.
It is crucial to surround yourself with people who uplift you and support your well-being. They are the people we can turn to during difficult times and who provide us with emotional support, understanding, and validation. A support system can include family, friends, coworkers, or even online communities. Building a support system can involve:
• Nurturing existing relationships: Reach out to friends and family regularly, spend quality time together, and be there for each other.
• Joining a support group: Support groups can provide a safe space to discuss shared experiences and find understanding and support from others who may be going through similar challenges.
• Seeking therapy: Professional therapy is another option for building a support system. A therapist can provide guidance and support in managing mental health issues.
When it comes to our relationships, it is important to avoid people that are toxic. Toxic relationships can have a severe impact on our mental health. It’s essential to recognize red flags and set boundaries with unhealthy individuals.
At times, the relationships in our lives can contribute to our mental health in negative ways. Learning to set boundaries is essential for maintaining good mental health. Boundaries are guidelines that help define what behaviors, actions, and words are acceptable from others. When we don’t have boundaries, we can feel overwhelmed, taken advantage of, and unvalued. This can negatively impact our mental health.
Setting boundaries can be challenging, but it is an important skill to have. It allows us to protect our well-being and prioritize self-care. Some tips for setting boundaries include:
• Identify what you are comfortable with: Figure out what behaviors or situations make you feel uncomfortable or stressed.
• Communicate your boundaries clearly: Let others know what you are and are not okay with. Clear communication is key to setting effective boundaries.
• Be consistent: Once you have established your boundaries, stick to them. This helps reinforce their importance and shows others that you are serious about respecting them.
By setting boundaries, we can improve our self-esteem, reduce stress, and maintain healthier relationships, ultimately leading to better mental health.
In life, direction can help us feel motivated and give us a sense of purpose. Setting goals, whether big or small, can help improve our mental health by giving us something to strive for.
To set effective goals, keep the following tips in mind:
• Make them achievable: Set realistic goals that you believe you can accomplish.
• Write them down: Writing down your goals makes them more tangible and increases your chances of following through.
• Celebrate progress: Even small steps towards achieving your goals are worth celebrating. This can help keep you motivated and boost your self-confidence.
By setting goals and working towards them, we can improve our mental health by giving ourselves a sense of purpose and accomplishment.
Gratitude is the act of acknowledging and appreciating the good things in our lives. Practicing gratitude can have a significant impact on our mental health by shifting our focus from negative to positive.
Practicing gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring our problems, but rather choosing to see and acknowledge the good in our lives. Different ways to practice gratitude include:
• Keeping a gratitude journal: Write down three things you are grateful for each day.
• Expressing gratitude to others: Let the people in your life know that you appreciate them.
• Reflecting on positive aspects of your life: Take time to reflect on what is going well in your life and be thankful for it.
Gratitude can improve our overall outlook, increase happiness, and reduce stress levels.
Self-care is any activity that we do to take care of our physical, emotional, or mental well-being. It is essential for maintaining good mental health and preventing burnout. Self-care can include:
• Getting enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
• Eating a balanced diet: A healthy diet can improve mood and energy levels.
• Engaging in activities you enjoy: Make time for hobbies, exercise, or anything else that brings you joy.
• Unplugging from technology: Taking a break from screens can help reduce stress and improve our overall well-being.
Prioritizing self-care helps us to recharge and refocus on ourselves. It is not selfish but necessary for our mental health.
Lastly, if you are struggling with maintaining your mental health or are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, it is essential to seek professional help. There is no shame in reaching out for support and guidance.

8 Restarts Later
Welcome to the digital world of Wlad, a software developer based in Munich, Germany, and the creator of this shiny new webpage. It has taken seven restarts to finally reach this point of release, and it is a moment to celebrate. While this webpage is far from being completed, Wlad sees it as a moving target, which is common in web development. The goal was to release the project while the momentum was present, to prevent an 8th restart from happening.
In this #0 blog post, Wlad shares some background information and sets the tone for the upcoming content. This blog will focus on the constant problem-solving aspect of software development, and Wlad aims to archive and preserve interesting findings and discoveries that are often lost in forgotten repositories.
The motivation behind this blog is threefold. Firstly, to archive and preserve cool stuff that Wlad stumbles upon during his work and hobby projects. Secondly, to provide the much-needed kick in the bum to do more cool projects, and finally, to practice writing. Wlad sets a goal of uploading two blog posts per month to keep himself motivated and productive, especially during the COVID-19 dictated times.
As a reader, you can expect to see interesting and relevant content related to software development, including elegant solutions to complex problems. With a decent selection of topics already in the pipeline, Wlad is excited to get started and share his findings with the world.
Overall, this introductory blog post sets a good foundation for the upcoming content, while also providing some insight into the creator’s motivations and goals. The only suggestion for improvement would be to clarify the focus of the blog a bit more, as the topics mentioned are quite broad. Perhaps narrowing down the focus to a specific area of software development would help attract a more targeted audience.

So how does the matchmaking work?
So what is the idea behind it? I could understand if it were same rank players but it can be from bronz 5, bronz 3, some silver vs like 3 preemade friends/team and silver! I mean what is the algorytm or idea of matchmaking. I cant figure it out. It seems somehow super strange and sometimes plain and simple setting you up to fail! Maybe someone can explain in simple terms what is the idea behind it!

CEO says firm will keep iterating until it has mobile games it can be proud of
Bigpoint ‘happy to fail’ in mobile return
Online gaming giant Bigpoint says it is “happy to fail as much as it takes” as it prepares to return to the mobile space.
The company recently announced it would once again attempt to establish a foothold in the hotly-contested smartphone and tablet market when it acquired Lyon-based Little Worlds Studio. Renamed Bigpoint Lyon, the developer will now be dedicated solely to mobile games.
Bigpoint has attempted to conquer the mobile market in years past, but CEO Khaled Helioui told Develop at Gamescom that shifts in the company’s structure should give his teams a better chance than before.
“We used to be a very centralised company – big decisions came from the top,” he explained. “Now we’re hiring people who are extremely passionate about what they do, give them a framework in terms of budget and time, but then they make the decisions about what the games are going to be and how they’re going to make it.
“This gives us a lot of flexibility. We can start projects and iterate on them very quickly. We can also decide to stop them quickly too. I’m really happy to fail as much as it takes until we’re feeling really comfortable and content with the games that we have.
“We’re ready to fail a lot over the next year until we have games that we can be proud of pushing to our users.”
The firm is one of many free-to-play specialists moving more resources into the mobile space, but Helioui is keen to stress that Bigpoint will continue to serve the browser and other markets that helped establish the company’s success. In fact, Bigpoint is currently working on its first client-based game.
We’re ready to fail a lot over the next year until we have games that we can be proud of pushing to our users.
“That’s what differentiates us,” Helioui said. “A lot of CEOs from other companies ask me why we’re not moving to 100 per cent mobile, why are we still doing client games. But we’re not speaking the same language.
“My perspective is not platform-driven. I think if you come up with the best games possible, for whatever device or platform, you are bound to be successful. So when we start the development of a new game, when we have the concept or idea, we look at which audience we’re trying to target, which user interface is best suited to that game.
“I think the reality is if you provide a great experience to gamers on tablets, the market is so massive right now that you can do extremely well.”
Heliouli also says it’s a mistake to address as many platforms as possible: “What eventually happens is that the game is great on none of them. It’s not optimised for any of the platforms, and right now you cannot afford to compromise or settle on quality.”
Following the acquisition of the Lyon studio, Bigpoint is currently on a recruitment drive for new designers, developers and artists to join the France-based team. Heliouli says the plan is to scale the studio, but not reach too big a headcount.
Meanwhile, Bigpoint’s Hamburg studio has also been working on several prototypes and concepts for mobile games. The firm plans to release three to four titles for smartphones and tablets in 2015.

AWOL Soldier Returns on Veterans Day
November 11, 2010 - 1:11 PM
Nashville, Tenn. (AP) - AWOL soldier Jeff Hanks said he walked away from the Army in the middle of a deployment because his problems with anxiety and stress have been ignored. Now on Veterans Day, he's coming back to face the consequences.
The 30-year-old Army infantryman said he has post-traumatic stress disorder that he has experienced since his 2008 tour in Iraq. He tried to seek treatment at Fort Campbell last month during his mid-tour leave from Afghanistan. When his commanders failed to help and told him he would have to immediately go back, he instead went home to North Carolina, he said.
The specialist could face less-than-honorable discharge or jail when he turns himself in Thursday.
"I have no problem going back to Afghanistan, but I need help," he said in a phone interview from his home in White Lake, N.C.
Hanks said he chose to return on Veterans Day, usually reserved for honoring military service, because he didn't want to exceed 30 days of being AWOL and face the more serious charge of desertion. His actions and the timing are supported by Iraq Veterans Against the War.
Hanks' unit command has discretion over what will happen to him when he turns himself in, but he could face a court-martial and jail time if convicted, Fort Campbell spokesman Rick Rzepka said.
"AWOL and desertion is a self-centered act," Rzepka said. "It doesn't only affect the soldier, but in a time of war puts other soldiers at risk."
Hanks said he understands that his actions could be considered disrespectful to other veterans, but said the military will continue to see high rates of suicide and substance abuse if it ignores soldiers' mental health problems.
"It's funny that those people would say, 'Why do you have to bring this up on Veterans Day?'" Hanks said. "So when is a good time to bring it up?"
Rates of desertion among Army soldiers increased 80 percent between 2003 and 2007, a time of repeated and extended deployments because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hanks is part of the 101st Airborne Division, which has been deployed multiple times since 2002.
On his second day in Iraq, Hanks' vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device. He was rocked, but survived with no apparent injuries.
He said he's more disturbed by seeing the aftermath of a car bomb outside his base in Balad that wounded many civilians, including a young Iraqi girl.
"Ever since then, I think about her all the time," he said. "I have had a lot of bad dreams, just reliving it."
When he returned from that tour, his wife, Christina, noticed that he was always on edge, looking around for IEDs and troubled by crowds at the local Walmart.
During his Afghanistan leave, his family urged him to get help, but he told them he wanted to wait until he finished his deployment. As he was saying his goodbye to his wife in the airport, a loud noise set off a panic attack and he had to be treated at an emergency room.
He returned to Fort Campbell to seek behavioral health treatment, but when he was referred for a meeting with a therapist, he said he was told by his commanders that they wanted him medically cleared to return to Afghanistan the next day. He spoke to a therapist for less than two minutes and was instructed to get marriage counseling when he came back.
Fort Campbell officials would not discuss the specifics of Hanks' case because of privacy rules.
Medical staff base their recommendations for deployment on the soldiers' conditions and their ability to perform duties safely, said Laura Boyd, a spokeswoman for Fort Campbell's Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. But unit commanders ultimately make the decision regarding whether a soldier deploys, she said.
The stress has unsettled his marriage and his relationship with his children, Hanks said.
"I found her and my daughters to be overwhelming," he said. "I just thought, 'I don't want to deal with this.'"
He said he thought about seeking treatment when he returned from Iraq but was concerned about how his fellow soldiers would react.
"Once you seek it, you're kind of an outcast," he said. "They will ridicule you."
Hanks deployed to Afghanistan in May. He said he showed signs of a concussion and still suffers headaches after a mortar landed near him in August and he can't forget the sound of wounded soldiers screaming in agony as they waited for a medical evacuation.
Hanks said he has never before been in trouble during his military career.
Dr. Rebecca S. Valla, a civilian psychiatrist who volunteers with the Quaker House in North Carolina, said her assessment of Hanks is that he has post-traumatic stress disorder, a concussion and hearing loss. She said he could deteriorate if he returns to battle.

# bittle
A library for working with small and cheap bit sets and masks
Masks keep track of usize indexes which are set through
[testing][Mask::test]. This allows for masking indexes in certain
operations. Like if you want to mask which channels in an audio buffer is in
use or not.
## Examples
```rust
fn test<M>(mask: M) where M: bittle::Mask {
assert!(!mask.test(0));
assert!(mask.test(1));
}
let mut set = bittle::BitSet::<u16>::empty();
set.set(1);
test(&set);
set.clear(1);
assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of_val(&set), std::mem::size_of::<u16>());
```

OpenGridGym: An Open-Supply AI-Friendly Toolkit For Distribution Market Simulation
Once market members are dominated by their feelings, comparable to worry, upset, ecstasy, and frustration, they inevitably cannot assist overreacting or even making unsuitable choices. Worth parity is a key figuring out consider making EVs successful in South Africa, notes Raine. In general, it’s always assumed that the risk of the market (in price) has been included inside the MG equation. 0, we do not get anything interesting from this equation. The economy in 1863 was starting to get higher. The neatest thing that a company could get from that is saving cash in producing brochures because they now use recycled materials. In addition, the incentive payments are often designed based on fashions of consumer habits or different advert-hoc guidelines which might be solely partially correct at best. In Appendix D, we test the performances of algorithms in markets with completely different heterogeneity of players’ preferences and find our CA-TS nonetheless reveals the perfect and probably the most strong performances. It has been demonstrated that the martingale condition can nonetheless be maintained if the potential satisfies some particular circumstances. On the other hand, when the vacuum is degenerate, then the identical symmetry is spontaneously damaged as a result of although the Hamiltonian annihilates the ground state (martingale condition), the momentum does not do it.
Below the extraordinary definition of martingale, the connection between circulate of data and spontaneous symmetry breaking, is actual. The vacuum in the BS case came out to be single if there isn’t a move of information via the boundaries of the system. In these instances, it got here out that one of many symmetries involved had been good but the other one was spontaneously damaged on the whole, aside from some specific combination of parameters. These come out to be the identical conditions for which there isn’t a movement of knowledge via the boundaries of the system (Market), or equivalently, the identical conditions correspond to the cases the place the Hamiltonian becomes Hermitian. This case may be worked out instantly from the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian defined in eq. In eq. (41), we will see that all the phrases within the Hamiltonian can now be considered to be potential terms. This habits can be guarantee with an infinite potential barrier boundary situation imposed for the worth of the corresponding price. For the reason that kinetic phrases, expressed as a function of a Quantum Discipline, behave as potential terms; then their existence affects the vacuum location and behavior. In constructing neural-SDE market fashions, the neural networks act as function approximators to the drift and diffusion coefficients of the SDE, so as to give a versatile class of models.
Within the proposed method, clusters of market variables are recognized such that the predicted output is a linear perform of the market variables, where the linear operate will depend on the cluster. As such, the econometric apply is that of developing properly-reasoned and economically motivated, important, mostly parametric, probabilistic models which are thoroughly examined validated, and back-tested following the ideas of statistical inference. Many firms nowadays are offering sanitizing services to their shoppers. That is the case as a result of the symmetries underneath time-translation usually are not spontaneously broken. In such a case we’ve got from eq. In any case, this consequence shows that for robust area approximation for each fields, related to the symmetries related to modifications in prices and volatility, it’s not doable to have a single vacuum condition related to both symmetries. Nevertheless, it is feasible to have an ideal vacuum situation after the simultaneous utility of both symmetries, specifically, the symmetries underneath modifications in the value plus the symmetries beneath modifications in volatility. The analysis has been performed for each, the BS equation in addition to for the case where the volatility is stochastic, particularly, for the MG equation. MG equation is defined because the market worth volatility risk because the upper its worth is, the lower is the intention of the traders to threat.
This provides rise to systemic risk, which can be described as ‘the risk of the monetary system as a whole’ (Cao 2014, p. We can resolve the martingale condition in eq. This important detail about the Martingale situation deserves extra consideration. With their more efficient A15 processors, the iPhone 13, 13 Professional, and thirteen Professional Max have the longest battery life of Apple’s iPhones. This personal character makes the video’s viewers responsive from what you’ve got to specific inside. In some regimes (especially contained in the weak-discipline approximation), the kinetic terms in eq. Within the weak-field approximation, the kinetic terms are the most relevant. Most akin to our present work are efforts to speed up the answer of OPF by identifying sets of active constraints. The theorem additionally establishes the uniqueness of the answer within the category of fully monotonic inverse marginal (CMIM) features. Under mild assumptions, the consistency and asymptotic normality results of our estimation were established.

The Man Behind Fischer's Crown
“Since Bobby, when I first met him at age 11 stated he would be world chess champion,” he said, by way of explanation, “I believed it was my job as his friend and confidant to do everything legitimately in my power to ensure that the young player’s dream would come true.”
Chess, the church and the Cold War: The life of Fr Bill Lombardy
Former New York priest played a huge role in Bobby Fischer’s rise to world champion
by Dave Hannigan
For the most seismic showdown in chess history, the Soviet authorities assembled an extensive support network of 35 grandmasters to travel to Iceland.
The brains trust was tasked with analysing every game, parsing each move, and providing wise counsel to Boris Spassky during breaks in play. At the height of the Cold War in July, 1972, with the whole world watching on, the Moscow regime wanted to afford their man every possible advantage.
His opponent, America’s Bobby Fischer, arrived in Keflavik accompanied by a single second, a burly Catholic priest from the Bronx named Bill Lombardy.
When Fischer wanted to leave in a huff after losing the first of the scheduled 24 games, exasperated outrage traditionally being his default setting, Lombardy ripped the wiring from his car so he had no transport to the airport, then feigned ignorance of why it wouldn’t start.
As a man of the cloth, he wasn’t proud of the little white lie but he knew it served a higher purpose.
“He passeth the piece that passeth all understanding,” warned the padre before, with others, persuading the irascible challenger to stay and battle for the title.
Later, as Fischer gained the upper hand in the contest, Lombardy left the Laugardalsholl Arena in the middle of one particular game to go and say mass at a Reykjavik church.
There is no suggestion that this divine intervention helped his man at the table although by then the Soviets had become so paranoid they were convinced the Americans used microwave signals and all sorts of nefarious tactics to put Spassky off. When the champion finally conceded defeat in a phone call, it fell to the priest to break the news of his triumph to Fischer.

Do crooked teeth cause facial asymmetry?
08/15/2006
I`m 24 years old, i have crowded teeth, and my mouth looks crooked in relation to the rest of my face, but my lips by themselves look symmetrical. My lower jaw is deviated to the left, the midline of my chin is quite off to my left side. I had braces three years ago only on my top teeth to bring one of my canines down cause it was potruted (i have the same condition on my lower teeth) and bothered me when i smiled, they aren`t perfectly aligned, one of my incissors overlaps the other a little bit, but they do look a lot better than they did, but the midline of my top teeth doesn`t align perfectly to the bridge of my nose. The thing is that the midline of my lower teeth and chin is very off, and i`m wondering if this is because of my lower teeth being crooked, no crossbite is apparent, however it seems to me that they don`t fit like they should. I`ve been analizing photos of myself when i was younger, and it seems to have been gradual, i didn`t always have a crooked face, it seems to have started getting crooked when i was 12 or so. My jaw sometimes pops when i yawn and sometimes makes a grinding noise when i eat. Could my asymmetry be caused by my teeth, or does it sound more like it`s my entire jaw? Can it be fixed by getting braces so that my jaw has to sit at its proper alignment point? if so, will my cheeks and lips adapt to the new position or will my top-right lip look droopy?
Well, you pose some interesting questions. One thing that caught my attention was that your asymmetry seemed to stem from when you were twelve. This would coincide with what we would call the start of the growth spurt, and it could be that one side of your lower jaw grew more than the other. If this happened it could account for the lack of symmetry. This can be easily diagnosed by a radiograph, sometimes called a sub-mental vertex view. It can be taken by an orthodontist by pointing the cone perpendicular to the plane of the lower jaw.
Yes, it can often be corrected by orthodontics (braces) but if very severe might require a combination of orthodontics and surgery. In any event, you should consult with a trained orthodontic specialist. If you need the name of one in your area, contact the American Association of Orthodontists at 1-800-424-2841.

Revolutionizing Entertainment with Toy Redemption Machines in Gaming Bars
There's nothing quite like the happiness of winning toys for yourself or your loved ones. No matter how many toys you buy, the ones you win by testing your luck and strategy always hold a special place. And what's the magic device behind this excitement? None other than the timeless classic—the toy redemption machine. It's like mini treasure chests filled with goodies at gaming bars. They're like those claw machines you see at arcades, but instead of just grabbing a toy, you play games to earn tickets, and then use those tickets to get prizes. It's a fun way to turn gaming skills into real-life rewards.
In the dynamic world of entertainment and retail, businesses are perpetually on the lookout for inventive methods to captivate audiences and enrich customer interactions. Among these, the toy redemption game is revolutionizing experiences in a multitude of establishments. This classic arcade attraction offers an engaging and unforgettable journey for participants of all ages. Its enduring appeal lies not just in the thrill of winning prizes, but in the memories forged and shared within the world of arcade entertainment.
Types Of Toy Redemption Machines
• Claw Machines: You've probably seen these before, they're the games where you control a claw to grab prizes like stuffed animals or toys. It's all about timing and precision to snag the prize you want.
• Stacker Games: Ever tried stacking blocks at home? Stacker games are like that but with a twist. You stack blocks or objects on top of each other, and if you can stack them just right, you win a prize.
• Pusher Games: Pusher games are arcade attractions where players use a moving platform to push coins or tokens off a ledge. The goal is to strategically time the movements to push the coins into designated winning areas. If successful, the player receives tickets or prizes as the coins fall.
• Spin-the-Wheel Games: These are like the classic game shows you see on TV. You give a big wheel a spin, and depending on where it lands, you win different prizes or tickets. It's all about luck and hoping for that perfect spin.
• Coin Drop Games: You drop coins into a machine and aim to land them in specific spots. If your coin lands just right, you can win cool prizes or tickets. It's simple yet super addictive.
• Ball Drop Games: Imagine a grid with a bunch of pegs. You drop balls into the grid, and as they bounce around, you hope they land in the right spots to win prizes. It's all about watching and waiting to see where the balls end up.
Increased Revenue
Integrating a redemption machine into your arcade can significantly bolster your revenue streams. The appeal lies in the opportunity for players to win prizes, a magnet for drawing them back repeatedly and encouraging them to spend more during each visit. By offering a machine adorned with vibrant lights and an enticing array of prizes, you create an immersive experience that captivates patrons and keeps them engaged for longer periods. This sustained engagement translates into increased profits for your arcade, as players eagerly accumulate tickets in pursuit of their desired rewards. Thus, the redemption machine becomes not only a source of entertainment but also a key driver of financial success within your establishment.
Fun For All Ages
The redemption machine is one of those rare gems that brings people of all ages together. It doesn't matter if you're a kid dreaming of winning a cool prize or an adult looking to relive some fond memories – there's something special about trying your luck at the machine. Families bond over the excitement of playing, friends challenge each other to see who can win the most tickets, and even grandparents join in on the fun, sharing stories from their own arcade days. It leaves us with memories to cherish for years to come.
Thrilling Experience
The claw grip or prize wheel mechanics in toy redemption games inject a thrilling sense of challenge into the gaming experience. Skilfully moving the claw to grab a prize or spinning the wheel in hopes of landing on a jackpot creates an exciting rush that keeps players on the edge of their seats. It's the perfect blend of skill and perhaps a touch of luck that adds to the fun. And it's this adrenaline rush that keeps players engaged and hungry for the next challenge and the chance to win big.

Police fatally shoot would be carjacker
FRANCISTOWN: An unknown man who had stolen a mini-bus was fatally shot at Bisoli veterinary gate. On Wednesday night, videos circulated on social media with clips of local law enforcement officers shooting an unknown violent man who was also seen hurling stones.
Confirming the incident, Botswana Police Service (BPS) Deputy Public relations Officer Senior Superintendent, Near Bagali said that they are in the process of identifying an unknown man who was fatally shot by the law enforcement officers.
He also said that the incident happened on Wednesday evening. Speaking about what transpired, Bagali said there was a report of a stolen minibus at Francistown police station earlier before the fatal incident.
Based on the report, the stolen mini-bus was seen travelling along the A1 towards the north. Bagali said an alert was then issued so that the police on duty at the Veterinary gate would be able to identify the stolen minibus when passing by. He stated that the minibus that matched the description of the stolen one arrived at a rapid speed shortly after the police received the report. A police officer pulled over the car and ordered the driver out, but the suspect pulled out a knife and threatened the officer, he explained. "As the police officer continued to move forward, the man began to hit the officer with stones. Additionally, he was brandishing a wooden pick handle and making threats of damage," he stated.
The BPS deputy PR officer stated that after realising the subject posed a threat and that they needed to disarm him, the law enforcement personnel began shooting warning bullets.
He alleged that the suspect continued to throw stones instead of stopping. In an attempt to stop the situation, the law enforcement officers shot the suspect. Bagali stated that one of the law enforcement personnel was also injured during the shootout.
He added that upon arrival at the Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital (NHR), the suspect was declared dead while the injured officer was still admitted in hospital but in a very stable condition. He reported that the deceased man's body is still at the NRH mortuary, where investigators are still attempting to identify the deceased and find out details about his past. Bagali added that while the investigation is ongoing, they were able to locate the owner of the stolen minibu

Probing Macro-Scale Gas Motions and Turbulence in Diffuse Cosmic Plasmas
14 Mar 2019 · Bulbul Esra, Gaspari Massimo, Alvarez Gabriella, Avestruz Camille, Bautz Mark, Benson Brad, Biffi Veronica, Burke Douglas, Clerc Nicolas, Chadayammuri Urmila, Churazov Eugene, Cucchetti Edoardo, Eckert Dominique, Ettori Stefano, Forman Bill, Gastaldello Fabio, Ghirardini Vittorio, Kraft Ralph, Markevitch Maxim, McDonald Mike, Miller Eric, Mroczkowski Tony, Nagai Daisuke, Nulsen Paul, Pratt Gabriel W., Randall Scott, Reiprich Thomas, Roncarelli Mauro, Simionescu Aurora, Smith Randall, Tremblay Grant, Walker Stephen, Zhuravleva Irina, ZuHone John ·
Clusters of galaxies, the largest collapsed structures in the Universe, are located at the intersection of extended filaments of baryons and dark matter. Cosmological accretion onto clusters through large scale filaments adds material at cluster outskirts... Kinetic energy in the form of bulk motions and turbulence due to this accretion provides a form of pressure support against gravity, supplemental to thermal pressure. Significant amount of non-thermal pressure support could bias cluster masses derived assuming hydrostatic equilibrium, the primary proxy for cluster cosmology studies. Sensitive measurements of Doppler broadening and shift of astrophysical lines, and the relative fluctuations in thermodynamical quantities (e.g., density, pressure, and entropy) are primary diagnostic tools. Forthcoming planned and proposed X-ray (with large etendue, throughput, and high spectral resolution) and SZ observatories will provide crucial information on the assembly and virialisation processes of clusters, involving turbulent eddies cascading at various spatial scales and larger gas bulk motions in their external regions to the depth or their potential wells. read more

"World governments are in pieces. The parts that are still working are trying to take a census. And it looks like he did — he did exactly what he said he was gonna do. Thanos wiped out fifty percent of all living creatures."
Natasha Romanoff, Avengers: Endgame
Planetary-scale Civilization Disruption. A lot of people die, but civilization is still surviving in a reduced state.

Multiple Media
• Generally, the more extreme portrayals of World War III are going to have this as a minimum outcome.
Anime & Manga
• Attack on Titan: The Rumbling is a 1.5 — 80% of the global population outside of Paradis Island is killed off, bringing civilization down to the same level as those in the island (i.e. an 18th-century country compared to the mid-20th century civilization the rest of the world was in).
• Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School covers the events that lead to the current state of the world in the games. Thanks to the machinations of Junko Enoshima at Hope's Peak, society collapsed in on itself, creating a Villain World of despair and suffering. The Future Foundation works to stabilize everything, though only by the very end does the Tragedy finally come to its conclusion and humanity can begin to repair itself.
• Trunks' Bad Future from Dragon Ball Z, devastated by the Androids. King Piccolo's conquest of Earth 300 years prior to the series also amounts to this.
• According to Kouta in Elfen Lied's final chapter, the recent war with the Diclonii was a Class 1, with the bulk of the human race obliterated, but on the road to recovery, although it's likely the human infighting in the wake of the war will drive this into the Class 3 range with mankind truly becoming extinct. The Diclonii themselves suffer their own Class 3 extinction event with possibly three surviving Diclonii at best — all sterile. (Of course, their population was always much smaller than humans' to begin with.)
• GaoGaiGar FINAL shows an apocalypse between Class 1 and Class 2 due to the actions of the Sol Masters trying to steal all the Dark Matter in the universe. Hundreds of well-known cities are in ruins, the ice caps melted, and there were apparently a lot of casualties. However, it seems civilization and humanity will definitely bounce back after a few months to years! All because of Courage!
• The ten-year Time Skip in Getter Robo Armageddon has humanity ravaged by the Invaders after a hydrogen bomb combined with Shin Dragon's Getter Beam saturates the Earth with Getter Energy, allowing the beasts to roam free.
• Heat Guy J: As explained in a Breaking Speech given by Clair, the people of Earth got a hold of the Applied Phlebotinum of the resident Superior Species. That was fine, until they started using said phlebotinum for war, and most of the population of Earth was wiped out, save for a few hundred-thousand people, who now live in seven isolated city-states (and some small towns/villages surrounding them.)
• In My Hero Academia, it's strongly implied that something on this scale happened shortly after the appearance of Quirks, due to the rise of powerful supervillains and the comparative lack of superheroes (and lack of regulation governing what few heroes there were) to fight them. A short 'dark age' at this point in time is often cited as the reason why the world of My Hero Academia is not significantly more technologically advanced than the modern day despite being indicated to take place at least a century in the future.
• The Second Impact in the backstory of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which killed over half of the Earth's population, rose the sea level enough to submerge entire cities and heavily altered the climate. By the time the series proper begins, civilization has gotten back on its feet in some places, but the almost complete emptiness of Toyko-3, the city the series is set in, is heavily emphasized during the series. The Rebuild movies further drive the point home that life, human or animal, can only be sustained in controlled environments after the impact.
• This is revealed to be the case in Now and Then, Here and There. Shu is not Trapped in Another World that is a desert planet, he's actually been transported 10 billion years into the future where the sun is in the red giant phase of going supernova, evaporating almost all of the surface water on the planet, leading society to dissolve into disparate desert towns that are raided by a local tyrant who amassed power by using child soldiers.
• Earth at the start of Space Battleship Yamato is this, verging on class 4. Humanity is barely hanging on to underground cities, with the surface uninhabitable.
• Earth after the Zentraedi attack in Super Dimension Fortress Macross/Robotech is around a 1.5: while most of humanity is killed off by a brutal orbital bombing, the survivors and the residents of the SDF-1 were able to repopulate though the help of cloning (which at one point accounted for more than 90% of the human population). Humanity also has plenty of advanced technology acquired from alien sources, and civilization is shown to recover both in the later Macross series such as Macross Plus, and in the Masters and New Generation seasons of Robotech (which were dubbed versions of Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA respectively). In fact, thanks to the capture of several automated factory satellites from the Zentradi, humanity in Macross advances far faster after the catastrophe than it did before it, though civilization on Earth itself still takes some years to recover from the devastation.
Comic Books
• In Crimson, dragons are unleashed all over the world thanks to the Big Bad's manipulations when their king is released from prison and they provoke untold devastation. Lisseth's plan was to Kill All Humans just so she could escalate to a Class X-4 apocalypse level, but thanks to the heroes' efforts, they are able to stop her and put the disaster on this level, since humanity is shown to recover and rebuild after the incident.
• The appearance of Eight Billion Genies granting a wish to every person throws Earth into a Class 1 Apocalypse almost immediately, as people's ill-thought out wishes lead to enormous death and destruction. Nearly two billion people, a quarter of the population, die within eight days of the genies' arrival. A large part of the U.S. has been covered by a tarp labeled "Dougland", South America is a barren wasteland, and the planet has a chunk bitten out of it by the moon. And this is before the World-Wrecking Wave that throws it into a Class 3...
• Part of the backstory of the Post-Rapture graphic novel, Therefore, Repent!.
• At the start of Transformers: Twilight's Last Gleaming, the United States has suffered a Continental case at the Decepticons' hands since the Cons won the battle for the Allspark in Mission City. NATO troops have to temporarily occupy the continent for security reasons, and whilst an American government is still functioning, millions are living in shelters and reliant on food aid.
Fan Works
• In At the Edge of Lasg'len, 90 percent of humanity is wiped out due to an engineered plague. The only nation to survive intact is Iceland, which escaped it due to a very conveniently-timed volcanic eruption. The only other two settlements to retain functional civilization are Galway and Eryn Lasgalen, both of which had advanced warning.
• Becoming a True Invader: Vort is heavily devastated when the Employer's army invades while making its way to Irk, but afterwards Crax is able to take control of the survivors with an intent to rebuild.
• Played for Laughs in Calvin & Hobbes: The Series, as a panicking Calvin claims Socrates' secret prank will cause this.
• In I Am What I Am, this occurs in Xanders' future. Hundreds of portals opened all over the world, allowing millions of demons to enter the Earth and resulting in The Unmasked World. The new Watchers Council, leading the empowered Slayers gathers its forces and starts to close the portals and then joins forces with the world militaries to force the demons back. It takes months for all the portals to be closed, but by then the demon population had increased massively. While the Protectors of Humanity would keep most demons at bay, nightlife outside of a Settlement, which were newly built cities some of them the size of US statesnote , is very dangerous as its compared to life in Sunnydale, with a sixty percent chance of dying from something other than natural causes.
• Kimi No Na Iowa: The abyssals' stated goal, the genocide of Japan and the USA, combines this with Regional Species Extinction. The death of almost half a billion is, from a purely numerical perspective, definitely survivable for humanity, but the cultural, economic and scientific losses will continue to be felt for years if not decades to come, to say nothing of the security implications of America ceasing to exist as world policeman. The addition of the other nations named in the Villain Song in Chapter 31 — Russia, the UK, China, India, and Australia — if they refuse to kowtow to the abyssals and help destroy Japan would elevate the damage to the equivalent of Continental Species Extinction if not low-level Planetary Societal Collapse. While the death of around 3 billion still leaves half of humanity alive, enough survivors to meet minimum viable population and avoid inbreeding and genetic drift, the loss of China alone and its leading industrial capacity would put the rest of the world in a bad place or even outright regress it, never mind the destruction of the other named nations. By this point, what else the abyssals have hit, including much of Western Europe and Southeast Asia, is merely an ugly cherry on top.
• In Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee, Aleena reveals in "Prophecy of Failure!?" that outside of northern places in Canada, Siberia and Greenland and presumably southerly places like New Zealand and West Antarctica, civilization has collapsed due to Global Warming and wars for limited resources are the norm.
• With This Ring: Earth 16 encounters quite a lot of events that cause wide-scale disruption, but a global Anti-Life infection really takes the prize for bringing the wheels of society to a halt. Large numbers of people across the world just give up and die, local leaders and even the Justice League become dictators to keep some semblance of order, and regular services are essentially on hold because no one is operating them. Mister Atom, it turns out, is primarily concerned about the fact that his newspaper hasn't been delivered.
Film — Animation
• In WALLE, Earth has become an uninhabitable trash dump, but it appears that most of humanity fled on cruise ships. We don't have a lot of information about the disaster preceding the exodus from Earth — including the percentage of Earth's population that escaped into ships. It seems that a decaying form of civilization exists on the Axiom and sister ships, but from the perspective of Earth, it's a Class 4.
Film — Live-Action
• Thanos — the MCU's Greater-Scope Villain — faces off against the Avengers in Avengers: Infinity War in an attempt to destroy half of all life in the universe using the Infinity Stones, with the goal of saving the other half by reducing consumption of finite resources. Basically this level applied to every planet in the universe. Avengers: Endgame shows the aftermath, not only from the consequences of the deaths themselves, but the traumatization of the survivors. One gets the implication that it could have slid into total collapse without the Avengers doing all they can to help the world hold together. Most of the planets in the universe don't have that, with Captain Marvel trying to pick up the slack on her own.
• In Children of Men, humanity is slowly going extinct due to a combination of universal infertility and the resulting societal collapse everywhere in the world but the United Kingdom, which is now fascist. Class 3 is not entirely ruled out.
• Contagion (2011) involves a worldwide pandemic that spreads about as easily as the flu and kills about a fifth of the people infected. The US government survives, but things get pretty rough for a while.
• In The Day After Tomorrow, the Northern Hemisphere has been caught in a sudden Ice Age. Millions of people are instantly frozen to death and survivors flee to Southern countries.
• Escape from L.A.: Though it doesn't involve anyone actually dying, Snake activates the Sword of Damocles satellite system at the end of the movie, unleashing a massive electromagnetic pulse that neutralizes every electrical power source on the entire planet, thereby (according to the President's Dragon, at least) setting the progress of human civilization back about 500 years, leading to the deaths of thousands, if not millions, indirectly as a result of entire cities shut down.
• Exam takes place after a global pandemic wipes out a large amount of the Earth's population.
• In Independence Day, most major cities are destroyed, but it seems humanity will survive... though it's debatable whether an Inferred Holocaust has occurred, which would knock this film into the Class 2 range. Resurgence which takes place 20 years later confirms that the humans used the Alien technology recovered from the City Destroyers to rebuild their civilization.
• Independence Day: Resurgence: The moon-sized Harvester ship apparently causes the rebuilt human civilization to suffer yet another one, this time due to the ship uprooting entire cities throughout Asia and the Middle East before causing the debris to rain on Europe as it passes over, and annihilating Europe and the East Coast with its landing.
• Interstellar: Earth has suffered a Class 1 which is ongoing and forecasted to lead into a Class 5 minimum, as a micro-organism called the Blight is gradually consuming all the crops and breathable atmosphere gases on Earth. When the film starts, most governmental and military organizations have disbanded just to ensure there's enough farmers in the world to farm what few consumable crops remain on Earth.
• No Blade of Grass: A new strain of blight strikes all members of the grass family, causing widespread famine that, in combination with numerous failed attempts to contain the plague, leads to hundreds of millions of deaths worldwide.
• Reminiscence: There is mass flooding across the Earth, and while society is still intact, it has to live by night to cope with extreme temperatures in the day. Could slide into Class 2 or Class 3a.
• In Star Trek: First Contact, we see Earth just after World War III. Suffice to say, Vulcans were very surprised that humans could develop FTL under such conditions.
• While the Yellowstone eruption itself only causes physical destruction on a continental scale in Supervolcano, the volcanic winter causes a global societal disruption due to massive crop failures. It's by no means the end of the world, but humanity is going to have a rough several decades.
• In Time of the Wolf, humanity is in dire straits, although it's never fully explained why. The audience only knows that the infrastructure has collapsed, uncontaminated water is scarce, and livestock have to be burned. A nuclear disaster is likely. May be considered a Class 2.
• The War of the Worlds (1953): The Martian machines wipe out an untold number of people around the world.
• In Blood Music, artificially enhanced lymphocytes gain intelligence and spread quickly across the entire North American continent, converting all biomass into more entities like themselves. (Although they are capable of encoding and converting intelligences into their cellular-level versions, so nobody strictly "dies" during the epidemic.) After the incident resolves itself, North America has been wiped clean and humanity in the rest of the world is trying to adjust to new laws of physics. The intelligences in North America caused the laws of physics to fracture slightly due to the density of observation causing the laws of physics unable to follow their own rules. Surprisingly this is not Applied Phlebotinum, there are real scientific theories behind such an event, as unlikely as it is to ever occur. Think of a well-regarded theory such as Heinsenberg's Uncertainty Principle which implies that, for any given particle, you can know its position or velocity, but never both, as an observation of one will affect, and therefore prevent observation of the other. Now imagine that someone develops the technology to accurately observe and record both. There is some uncertainty (no pun intended) as to what might actually happen to the observed particle at this point.
• In Caliphate, a nuclear attack on the United States by Islamic terrorists doesn't cause the USA to collapse, but leads to an autocratic President rising to power, declaring war on the Islamic world in retaliation by nuking all Muslim-majority countries in the world. This causes a chain of events that establish a tyrannical caliphate in Western Europe with an influx of radicalized refugees overthrowing liberal societies and implementing sharia law. In response, most countries follow the USA suit by becoming isolationist fascist regimes and by the time the main narrative takes place, natural resources have been mostly used up and the world stands ever closer to falling into a Class 2 Apocalypse.
• In the "An Orison of Sonmi-451" segment of Cloud Atlas a series of limited nuclear exchanges has left much of the planet as "deadland" but East and Central Asia still maintain a high level of technology, even though it's an oppressive corporate dystopia. In the next segment, "Sloosha's Crossin' and Evr'thin' That Came After" this has grown to a Class 2 with only a handful of places on the planet maintaining anything like an organized society.
• The technological apocalypse in the Daybreak series wipes out roughly ninety percent of the human race between 2024 and 2026, but the United States is still, barely, hanging on. That said, most of the surviving humans are now Brainwashed and Crazy by Daybreak and are intent on continuing the devastation until the planet becomes a Class 3. The final book in the series shows them partially succeeding as the last U.S. President resigns from office and the country ceases to exist as the final pockets of civilization are overrun.
• Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is set in the aftermath of World War Terminus, a devastating global conflict that killed off a huge chunk of Earth's population and devastated the ecosystem. The surviving humans are plagued by radiation-induced sicknesses and genetic disorders, causing many to leave Earth for off-world colonies.
• In Doom: Hell on Earth, humanity suffers a die-back at the hands of the "demons"/Freds. All nations have been devastated and mankind is struggling to avoid extinction.
• In The Dreamside Road, governments the world over shut down during a global terrorist attack, five years before the story begins. Most never returned.
• In The Harem Games, some unidentified pathogen brings humanity to the brink of extinction by wiping out adult males and severely shortening the lifespan of existing male children as well as almost destroying the viability of male children in utero to the point that live birth is a newsworthy event. Furthermore, it borders on Class 2 due to the fact that the world government falls into the hands of a group of women far more concerned with retaliating against and, in their minds, preventing, the return of the abusive patriarchal societies they came from. They enact policies that make mankind dependent on artificial insemination, and force male teens to fight each other in a tournament until one is left, after forcing them into Battle Harems, with the consent of all all parties involved being a mere courtesy, at best.
• The apocalypse in The Hunger Games was at least continental, probably global. In the first book, Katniss describes a massive natural disaster: "the droughts, the storms, the fires, the encroaching seas that swallowed up so much of the land." Wars erupted as factions tried to claim the limited remaining resources, and this appears to have led to the collapse of the North American nations that we currently know. Some time after that, about 75 years before the present, a massive rebellion resulted in further destruction; District 13 was seen as a particular threat since they controlled the nuclear power and potentially weapons, so the Capitol bombed them into oblivion.
• In Legacy of the Aldenata, humanity has roughly five billion killed by the end of the war with the Posleen. They draw close to entering Class 2 territory, but while humanity gets hammered hard, they keep most of their technological knowledge, both native and Galactic.
• The Thirteen Day War in the backstory of Legend of the Galactic Heroes involved a nuclear exchange between the major powers of Earth, which reduced the world's population to 1 billion and some 90 years would pass before order was restored on Earth.
• Lucifer's Hammer looks much worse at first, what with a comet's direct impact apparently destroying civilization, China nuking Russia (and getting nuked by both the Soviets and USA in retaliation), a cannibal army roaming through what's left of California, and the lack of any organization outside the local level. But by the end of the novel, we still have electricity (from a nuclear power plant, even), at least regional government, and contact with people that can put a plausible claim toward being the national government. Amusingly, the authors claim (and suitably demonstrate!) that it was the mailman doing his job that kept civilization afloat and the story out of the nastier categories below. It's also speculated, though never established, that countries south of the equator would escape the impact and the worst of the weather changes. If that's true, Australia, South Africa and most of South America could probably maintain social order.
• In "The Moral Virologist", the Synthetic Plague is at least a type 1, since it is intentionally designed to kill anyone who has ever had multiple sex partners, and spreads through the air so that settling down in a monogamous relationship after sowing your wild oats can't save you. The revelation that the proteins in breastmilk also activate the virus's kill switch, killing babies regardless of the chastity of their mothers pushes this potentially into type 2 range if a cure or vaccine isn't discovered in time, and possibly even type 3 if everyone who was once breastfed is lethally affected.
• In John Barnes' Mother Of All Storms, set 20 Minutes into the Future, a UN sanctioned nuclear strike on an illegal Siberian military base sets off a chain of events that culminates in a series of super-sized hurricanes that ravage coastlines on a global scale and completely wipe out entire nations (Bangladesh, Japan, Micronesia) as well as the state of Hawaii and cause roughly two billion deaths, but thanks to the intervention of the US' last astronaut raised to a godlike state of cyberconciousness, civilization as a whole and the United States in particular are preserved with the coastal areas due to become new frontiers.
• The main land in The Obernewtyn Chronicles. They got hit by a nuclear holocaust that left most of the land and water tainted.
• Prior to the Old Kingdom series, something like this occurred thanks to Kerrigor.
• This is what the time traveller Phanthro is trying to accomplish in the Relativity story "Tempest".
• In the Second Apocalypse series, the First Apocalypse exterminated an entire cradle of human civilization, the Ancient North. Now its ruins are haunted by baying Sranc. At least they killed the No-God, though: his very existence caused infants to be stillborn for eleven years. The main point of the series is to prevent the eponymous Second Apocalypse, which would entail the resurrection of a now-unstoppable No-God and an eventual class 4-6, all so that the two surviving Ichoroi can avoid going to Hell.
• In Sewer, Gas & Electric, a racist-designed plague turns nearly every person of black African descent on the planet into dust. Only ethnic Africans with green eyes — a minute fraction of the total — are spared.
• In John Varley's Slow Apocalypse, a gene-geneered bacteria reduces crude oil to an unusable sludge which, along with secondary effects, shakes civilization on a global scale but it survives.
• A Song of Ice and Fire: The nebulous Doom of Valyria basically wiped a large country off the face of the planet, killing 99.999% of its inhabitants and rendering the entire area a no-go zone even centuries later. Normally this would qualify as a Class 0, but as said country was the center of a continent-spanning empire, its sudden immolation resulted in societal disruptions on a global scale. The most notable one was the Century of Blood, a general Essosi societal collapse complemented by civil war, famine, and barbarian invasions, which saw large chunks of the continent depopulated. The chaos even extended to far-off Westeros (albeit to a much lesser extent), as it caused an otherwise obscure surviving clan of dragonlords to divert their attention to the western continent and embark on their own large-scale dragon-assisted conquest.
• The Stand: The release of a weaponized strain of influenza has wiped out almost all of the human population. What remains eventually get a couple of small working societies up and running.
• The Desolations in The Stormlight Archive, which Dalinar has visions of, had been limited to this by the Knights Radiant. The Everstorm, which is caused by the Parshendi, is the next one. Fortunately, new Radiants are popping up, so there's still a chance of the destruction being limited.
• The background scenario for Joe Haldeman's "A !Tangled Web (1981)" and "Seasons" has it that most of the Northern Hemisphere has been destroyed in a nuclear war, but South America, Africa and Australia mostly survive. A faster-than-light drive is subsequently invented by Hartford, an Australian concern, and a Spanish- and Swahili-speaking "Confederación" pushes out to the stars.
• The Way Series eventually features a full-scale global nuclear exchange that inflicts Class 1 damage on human civilization.
• The Breaking of the World in The Wheel of Time. Also borders on Class 2.
• In Without Warning, an Alternate History written in 2009 but beginning in 2003, an energy field of unknown type and origin called "the Wave" wipes out all primates in most of the Lower 48, the more populated eastern half of Canada, about 90% of Mexico and three-quarters of Cuba. This leads to a very different Iraq War in which Hussein goes on the offensive and is joined by Iran until a threatened Israel launches a pre-emptive nuclear strike on its neighbors, the global economy starts sliding down the toilet and the world in general starts edging into Mad Max territory. Also untended fires spread due to the lack of human intervention (although automatic sprinkler systems catch some), wiping out large chunks of entire cities with the resulting ash being spread throughout the northern hemisphere in "pollution storms" that wipe out major harvests. Four years later and three years after the Wave disappears, making the area it devastated enterable again in the sequel After America, the food and oil shortages caused by the pollution storms and Israel nuking the Middle East have most civilized nations still on rationing, although no-one is starving, many people growing private gardens and bicycles and horses outnumbering private cars.
• World War Z shows how humanity gradually defeats the Zombie Apocalypse. At the end of the story, much of the world has been reclaimed (despite losing the majority of the human population) zombies are limited to a few huge herds too big to take on, a couple of cold countries where winter tends to send them into suspended animation, and the lakes and oceans of the world, where lost zombies roam on the lake bed or ocean floor.
Live-Action TV
• Doctor Who:
• "Smith and Jones": Had the Plasmavore won, her Evil Plan would've caused this in terms of humanity (likely more of a Class 4 in terms of the Earth's biosphere). Her modifications to the MRI would've sent out a World-Wrecking Wave from the moon which would've fried every last brain stem within a range that included the side of the Earth facing the moon at the time (and only that side).
• "Turn Left": In the Best of All Possible Worlds-style Alternate Timeline, without the Doctor around to save the world, the crises escalate into this over the course of less than two years. Britain ends up under martial law with the whole of England flooded with radiation after the Titanic obliterates London, the many who are displaced from this are crowded into designated houses, and eventually the "England for the English" Law gets passed. Never mind France closing its borders after getting overwhelmed with refugees or sixty million Americans getting turned into Adipose.
• In the backstory of The Flipside of Dominick Hide, at some point, there was a global disaster that killed a massive chunk of humanity and rendered most of the biosphere unusable. Humanity survived thanks to carefully managed habitats, and while technology has advanced again, there are massive waiting lists for anyone wanting to visit the surviving biosphere zones.
• Jeremiah shows life after a plague has wiped out nearly every post-pubescent human being.
• In Jericho (2006), 25 of America's major cities have been nuked, including Washington, D.C., dividing the country in three. It's arguable whether this belongs in 0 or 1, because for all we know, the rest of the world could be pretty much okay. We do know that, due to the Cheyenne Government's cover-up and Puppy-Kicking, Iran and North Korea no longer exist. Every government seems to be throwing money and goods at the US in hopes that the wounded beast won't start lobbing nukes at random. In the end, America may drag the rest of the world down with them.
• In the series finale of Leverage, Inspector Sterling says that Interpol is refusing to prosecute the culprits of the 2008 financial crisis to avoid one of these — a global economic crash — due to lack of faith in international finance.
• Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger: Earth has undergone a Class 1 due to the machinations of the season's Greater-Scope Villains the Galactinsects. Their interference in the affairs of Earth caused a Civil War that forced much of humanity to migrate off-world and settle on the Earth-like planet Tikyu. The humans left behind (at least those we see in Japan) have been enslaved by stragglers of the slain Deboth Army the Galactinsects vassalized in exchange for their own survival; leeching all Brave out of humanity and transforming what's left into mindless slaves. The King-Ohgers are sent here by Dagded as punishment for outwitting him; inadvertently allowing both Sentai teams to save what's left behind.
• In Revolution, the world suffers a worldwide failure of electricity due to a nanotech plague, essentially sending it back to the 19th century techwise except for a few anomalies like automatic weapons and medical knowledge.
• Star Trek:
• A Class 1.5 Catastrophe is depicted in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Friendship One". The planet in question was devastated 100 years ago, and the civilisation has not recovered yet, but Voyager is able to help, and it seems that now, with atmosphere cleaned, they will recover.
• Star Trek: Discovery begins Season 3 with the crew of the Discovery ending up in the 32nd century, where a mysterious event known as "the Burn" caused a vast majority of dilithium crystals, the power source needed for warp travel, suddenly exploding. This causes the Federation to practically collapse on itself.
• Survivors features the few remaining inhabitants of a virus-ravaged Earth. However, enough human knowledge survives in the form of books to prevent this going to Class 2.
• In The Tribe, a government project into anti-aging goes wrong, and the resultant virus wipes out all adults in the world. Although the surviving children resort to small insular tribes and anarchy rules periodically from then on, enough knowledge survives in books that technologies can still be slowly rebuilt by those who are smart enough, making this a solid Class 1. Its sequel series, The New Tomorrow, takes this much closer to a Class 2 as society had regressed further to a pre-industrial, agricultural society (except for the Barbs, who are hunter-gatherers) — presumably then, the attempts made in The Tribe to rebuild our technological society did not take for one reason or another...
• The psychedelic "The Day The World Turned Day-Glo" by X-Ray Spex is a borderline case. Possibly the singer Polly Styrene only refers to our modern plastic world? In any case, this blogger used it as a title for his apocalyptic thoughts about a nuclear plant in India.
Tabletop Games
• The Anime Multiverse Setting of Big Eyes, Small Mouth has Enid, a world in which most of humanity was driven into arcologies underground by violent storms, that since ravage the lands. There's also a world-spanning war going on between two factions that try to restore the planet in two different ways.
• Blue Planet's Fischer Blight caused a worldwide famine that starved billions, touched off multiple major-power wars in Asia, and left much of the planet's arable farmland desertified. Entire countries are gone, the GEO is politically unkillable because there's not enough ratifying nations left to disband it, and it's not at all clear if Earth will ever recover.
• The Cyberpunk setting has a notable one in the form of the DATAKRASH virus, though it's not known if there were many fatalities from it. The netrunner Rache Bartmoss set up a dead man's switch that would activate two weeks after he died in 2023. The virus itself first started small doing things that'd be consider minor glitches, like swapping small piece of code here and there, but by the time it was identified as a virus by others, it had become damaging to the point that the only thing to do was quarantine sections of the internet from usage. In the end, nearly 80% of the internet was rendered unusable before it was officially quarantined completely. Due to the scale of the damage and safety concerns of potential reinfection, the world of Cyberpunk as of 2039 has mostly restored to short-range LAN connections. As of the events of Cyberpunk 2077, long-range connections have become available for the rich, but nothing on the scale of the old internet.
• Happens a few times in the Exalted setting:
• The Three Spheres Cataclysm at the end of the Primordial War: out of petty revenge, a defeated primordial detonates three of his souls, which annihilates most of Creation (and the people living there) and destroys "nine out of ten important things in the world".
• The Usurpation: the whole Solar Exalted ruling class is betrayed by its underlings, which results in decades of extremely violent civil war. Hundreds of thousands are slain (both participants and collateral victims), entire cities are destroyed, and the whole High First Age society collapses.
• The fall of the Shogunate: the Dragon-Blooded-led society of the Shogunate is attacked by the undead and the fair folk, who almost manage to destroy the world. They are driven back by the new Empress using the Realm Defense Grid, which is one of the most powerful superweapons in existence and inflicts severe collateral damage on the world in itself.
• The Great Contagion: a supernatural plague with no known cure kills 90% of the world population, mortals and Exalted alike.
• Before all of that, the Primordial War itself certainly wrecked an insane amount of havoc and totally changed the face of the world forever for men, gods and primordials, but it is difficult to tell exactly how since there is hardly any trace (if any at all) of the civilizations that existed before it. The only people who could maybe tell are the Celestial Incarnae, but even they were changed by the war and probably can't remember or even understand much of what happened before.
• In Nuke War, if you win, it's only a Class 1 disaster; if everyone loses, it's somewhere from Class 2 to 4.
• The Blight of Red Markets emerged and caused chaos everywhere at once. Large swathes of land are no longer under the jurisdiction of a national government (everything west of the Mississippi River in the US, most of continental Europe, and the Indian subcontinent, for example, are part of this "Loss") and the remnants (areas called "the Recession") are struggling to keep some semblance of order and subsistence among the survivors, and the corporations exploiting them for their own gains, while trying to deal with a virulent zombie plague and a massive grudge held by those abandoned in the Loss. Sweden is among the handful of nations to suffer little disruption.
• Rifts varies from place to place. A number of modern cities have been (re)built, including a scant few that survived from before the magically-charged cataclysm, but only the most powerful states expand their influence beyond the borders of their own cities (or have "city" be plural, for that matter). Mankind is slowly rebuilding, but the initial catastrophe of the Coming of the Rifts was just shy of a full-blown Class 2. It's taken the world 300 years of rebuilding to reach the point of a Class 1.5 and is only a couple of good shoves from falling back into Class 2 territory. The presence of alien monsters/invaders/the return of magic has been both a blessing and a curse, as some areas have come back much faster than others, but very differently than how they were before and often with humans at the bottom of the pecking order.
• The VITAS plagues cut back the global human population by about 1/4 in the future history of Shadowrun. Some countries weathered the pandemics better than others, with North America coming through relatively intact, while some Third World regions such as Madagascar were left virtually deserted.
• Tech Infantry has a large meteor strike the earth and render it temporarily uninhabitable, but by that point, humans have colonized many other planets, so the species survives.
• The post-World War III world of Twilight: 2000 is Class 1, bordering on Class 2. It's clear that humanity has a lot to do, but generally implied that civilisation would rise again. The starfaring game 2300 AD was Ret Conned into being a sequel, so this interpretation is more-or-less official.
• Little Shop of Horrors: The opening narration to the last song of the show, "Don't Feed the Plants", implies that following Audrey and Seymour's deaths, Audrey II's saplings managed to be distributed all over the world and caused mass death and destruction, with humanity doing its hardest to fight back. This is made more obvious in the Director's Cut ending of the film adaptation, where the world is shown being destroyed by Audrey II's offspring, and the fight against them is shown to be hopeless.
Video Games
• BlazBlue mixes this with Class 4, with the war against the Black Beast resulting in a toxic mist spreading across all of Earth, rendering the planet totally uninhabitable to humans except on the highest mountaintops, where the mist is too thin to have an adverse effect. Civilization now exists in at least thirteen city-states dotted around the world (though a few are destroyed over the course of the games), with transportation between them via gigantic airships. Nearly all of Earth's species have died out because of this mist, but a few animals and plants seem to have been replaced by mutant variants that can thrive in it.
• The backstory of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc involves an incident known as "The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Event In History" (also known simply as "the Tragedy") that allowed a terrorist organization called "Ultimate Despair" to unleash catastrophic levels of unrest around the world. Later games and spin-offs go into more detail as to exactly what happened, showing that half the human race was rendered Brainwashed and Crazy by Junko's Hate Plague, turning a large portion of the affected into psychopathic murderers.
• Dead Rising 2 almost voids the Downer Ending of its predecessor — it's quite clear that the Zombie Apocalypse has come and gone, but thanks to the government being actually competent, civilization itself has endured quite nicely and the outbreak hasn't really knocked people back significantly — there's even a Reality Show based around it. This, combined with a way to actually fight the infection means that the epidemic will probably end with humanity on top (admittedly, it's going to take a while...).
• The Dragon Age setting has the Blights, which are regular apocalyptic events where near-demonic creatures known as the darkspawn unite into a single horde and emerge from beneath the ground to overwhelm the surface world. These Blights can last decades at best, with the first one being the longest one in existence, lasting nearly two centuries as entire generations lived and died warring with the darkspawn and the most powerful empire of the world at the time being extremely weakened. Thedas suffered five Blights so far, but its civilizations have succeeded in rebuilding themselves afterwards.
• Final Fantasy:
• In Final Fantasy VI, most of the world is destroyed, but humanity survives in quite large numbers and most towns are unscathed. However, Kefka is a god after this and keeps blasting the survivors when he gets bored, pushing the crisis up to Class 4/5 a year later, with plant and animal life dying off and humans struggling to rebuild in-between Kefka's rampages. During the confrontation with Kefka before the final battle, he directly states he's gonna go for Class X and beyond. The party kills him before he gets a chance to try, and the world slowly begins to get the chance to recover in the absence of constant attacks.
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time had a major societal collapse two thousand years ago when the Crystals disappeared, ruining the Magitek-dependent civilization. In the present day, all that's left is one town and one isolated village. And the latter is actually a ghost town.
• Gears of War skirts between this and Class 2. Given 99% of the human population were wiped out by the Locust, the remaining were fighting an offensive war against them and later the Lambent, and that they had to destroy their last bastion to cripple the Locust at the end of GOW2, things didn't look too rosy. Confirmed to be Class 1 at the end of Gears of War 3. Now that the Lambent and Locust were wiped out, as well as Immulsion, Humanity can finally recover.
• The world of Girls' Frontline is recovering from a Class 1 event. Sometime in the 2030s, a military skirmish resulted in the release of the the physics-defying Collapse Fluid from a Precursor facility near the equator, which circulated into the upper atmosphere, contaminating and rendering uninhabitable most of the world around the equator. In the massive humanitarian crisis and rush to evacuate the affected areas, old political and military borders dissolved, and a new world with new superpowers and a drastically reduced population emerged. The reduced human population demanded a solution if society was to continue, and so advanced robotics were developed, and over time improvements made so that these new "Dolls" could serve not just in labor, but in the military and eventually work civilian "jobs", leading to the game's main premise of Cute Robot Girls.
• Halo: By the time Halo 3 rolls around, humanity is in a position like this, with most non-Earth colonies having been utterly annihilated, its military reduced to a handful of fleets, and the war having killed 23 billion humans out of an estimated pre-war population of 39 billion. Nevertheless, the surviving human worlds are still able to maintain their high-tech civilizations, and after the Human-Covenant War ends, humanity as a whole is in just good enough shape to start reclaiming their lost worlds.
• In the Improbable Island world, the EMP War was an interesting cross-level. With the exception of people with pacemakers, nobody died, yet technology was pretty much knocked back 50 years since nobody actually knew how to make silicon computers anymore.
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is set in a Class 1.5 scenario, due to Calamity Ganon overpowering Link, Zelda, and the Champions in their first battle, and virtually destroying the Kingdom of Hyrule. Though the kingdom itself has largely been erased for 100 years and horrible monsters freely roam the lands, far-flung towns and villages managed to escape the devastation and have mostly recovered.
• With Neo Arcadia being the only major civilization in the world during Mega Man Zero, Craft/Kraft causes one by firing the cannon on Ragnarok at Neo Arcadia just to kill Dr. Weil. According to official sources, the death toll was approximately 20,000,000 casualties.
• In A Mind Forever Voyaging, the 2071 simulation falls into this class. Your town of Rockvil has become the Oppressive States of America, as the Church of God's Word has put a stranglehold on the town, turning it into a religious, totalitarian police state, and higher-echelon Church members are allowed to own slaves; your Brainwashed and Crazy son Mitchell leads the raid as he arrests your wife Jill for "heresy"; you are suffering all kinds of Elder Abuse; almost all animals have suffered Planetary Multiple-Species Extinction due to starvation, neglect, and torture by religious schoolchildren who treat you like an animal and kill you by throwing stones at you; all the water is becoming polluted and undrinkable; food is quickly becoming scarce (and some restaurants are either becoming expensive or reserved only for Church members); strict rationing is in effect for what poor-quality food is still available, since the ration card should not be used twice under penalty of death; innocent people are being brutalized and even executed for minor crimes, and executions become bloody gladiatorial matches; buildings, churches, parks and a cemetery are becoming either empty or vandalized; and books and all kinds of entertainment are banned or replaced by religious hate films. And it only gets way worse in the 2081 sim...
• Most Shin Megami Tensei games start or end up here. Some notable examples include Shin Megami Tensei I, Shin Megami Tensei IV, and Devil Survivor. Shin Megami Tensei II takes place a century after one of these.
• Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers shows an example of this, going borderline Class 2. Vohaul takes over the supercomputer which controls every technology related aspect of Xenon and more, and turns it against the population. In game, Xenon is shown to be a hellhole, with only a few survivors. Vohaul also creates the Sequel Police, who search through the series (including games that were never released) to find and kill Roger.
• In Sword of the Stars, humankind comes under orbital bombardment from a neighbouring, established spacefaring civilisation just after the first colony ship was launched. Civilisation collapses, then comes back in a form, but as an effective fascist dictatorship bent on forcible expansion into habitable worlds.
• Uplink features a non-lethal Class 1 that happens when the Revelation virus destroys the Internet.
• The destruction of the Torus Aeternal a year prior to X3: Albion Prelude caused millions of tons of debris to rain down on Earth. The Terran military reacted to the attack pretty much how you'd expect.
• The Taikese civilization of Star Trip were devastated a thousand years ago when an entire continent of their homeworld was destroyed in an act that permanently altered the planet's climate. Exactly why or how Khut did this is unknown, but billions of people died.
• Terinu's backstory has the Earth being subjected to an attack 500 years previously by the Varn Dominion using a titanic tractor-pressor beam to destroy major population centers via earthquakes and tsunamis. This results in a Class 1.5 destruction as somewhere between one and a half to three billion people die in the initial attack and subsequent chaos. Australia was left intact with a functioning economy however, as a sort of human game preserve. In addition, the Vulpine suffered a 50% population loss as they were hit by the "Bloody Plagues" during the subsequent human led rebellion.
• In Wychwood, the interdimensional alien invasion devastated the planet and left most of it in ruins. A little over two decades later, the surviving parts of human society were on their way to rebuilding with the aid of some alien technology left behind... only for the rift to reopen, and a fresh invasion to begin.
• The near-future post-Zombie Apocalypse setting of The Zombie Hunters finds the planet overrun by The Undead, and the The Virus did in fact serve as a Depopulation Bomb. What few humans remain cling very tenuously to Class 1 status, with the struggle to avoid becoming a full-bore Class 2 as a driving force in the plot. To keep their Island Military Base running, and the populace cozy they depend on teams of dormant Zombie Infectee Disaster Scavengers (the eponymous "Zombie Hunters") to venture out into "the Wastes" and risk getting bitten to retrieve much-needed salvage. They only have two helicopters and a ship to work with. A handful of doctors, scientists, engineers and Military are respectively trying to Find the Cure!, keep the island's technological infrastructure running, and build a viable secondary colony on the mainland. The loss of any of these people or things, even a relatively expendable Zombie Hunter, represents a huge setback for the potential future of the human race.

• 1983: Doomsday, a timeline from the Alternate History Wiki, is set in a world where a nuclear war occurred in the early eighties. Most of the nations in the Northern Hemisphere cease to exist, yet the survivors manage to establish new states in their wake. The Southern Hemisphere, meanwhile, escapes mostly unscathed.
• Coruscant in The Gungan Council had at least a quarter of its surface damaged and possibly even wiped out by a Death Star exploding in its orbit.
• Night of the Living Alternate History depicts a Zombie Apocalypse that kills millions and devastates almost every country in the world. A lucky few, such as Australia and New Zealand, survived with minimal damage.
• Thanks to the lack of canon in SCP Foundation material, any SCP subject could cause this or worse if it breaks containment. SCP-6004, for example, decimated global civilization and restored much of the environmental destruction wrought by human encroachment on nature when it woke up, and now the Foundation works with national governments and other anomalous organizations to limit activity that would reawaken it.
• According to a What If? segment that answered the question of what would happen if everyone in the world jumped all at once from the same spot, Rhode Island would be overwhelmed by the volume of people trying to leave, billions would die of starvation, society would have to be rebuilt from scratch and it would not cause an earthquake.

• Jackie Chan Adventures: In the Season 1 finale, Shendu's Evil Plan would likely inflict this on the world overall. He intends to summon an army of dragons from Another Dimension and use them to destroy (not rule) the whole of Asia.
• Wakfu: The World of Twelve suffered one hundreds of years ago at the Dofus Era-Wakfu Era boundary, when Ogrest caused The Great Flood which reshaped the entire planet's topography from a large continent into scattered islands (given the nature of this apocalypse, it could've well been a mild Class 4 for the planet's land-based ecosystems). And Ogrest is still slowly causing sea levels to rise and threaten the remaining landmasses into the present day, until the heroes confront him in the OVAs.
Real Life
• A "limited" nuclear exchange between the superpowers probably would be a high Class 1, depending on where the nukes landed, at least in the early part of the Cold War.
• The Black Death in the fourteenth century halved Europe and China's populations, killing an estimated one hundred million people and setting civilizations back by centuries. It took 200 years for the world population to recover to its previous level.
• A strong enough Coronal Mass Ejection could render most electronics (especially ones with computer chips) severely damaged and useless, which would knock humans back to the 1930s in terms of technology. However, it is temporary, so after the turmoil (caused by removing essential technology like radios, the computers in plane cockpits and the machines hooked up to hospital patients), we would be able to replace it eventually.
• The night side during the flare would probably have electronics more or less okay, so even if one were to hit Earth (itself a very slim prospect but likely a reality some point in the future), there's a decent chance the bulk of the damage would be over the Pacific or Atlantic oceans. However such an event would damage satellites completely, and in the worst case scenarios, human progress would be stalled out for a few decades while infrastructure and industry recovered. Deaths would probably be limited to medical patients and people in situations requiring electronics at the time though.
• More ominously however, most people in today's Western society have no access to clean water or food without electronics, which in a worst case scenario could bump this up to a Class 2.
• The effects of climate change can easily do this, even if humans get time to adapt to the changing world. The most immediate effects start with a rise in water levels due to the melting ice caps, which means very little to us now, but in the future this rise could sink coastal cities that are unprepared to handle them. Worse, this shift in the ocean would result in the alteration of ocean currents which would radically change the weather. For example, hurricanes have been happening more frequently in America and increasingly more powerful. Some areas, like the American Southwest, are experiencing a major decrease in rainfall, rendering those areas unlivable for humans due to the lack of easily accessible water, and forest fires more severe and frequent. The climate, on average, will get hotter around the globe, but climate and weather are very different things, meaning winters could be colder (as with the collapse of the Polar Vortex which devastated North America in the winter of 2013) and snowier. A change in climate, even one as small as a few degrees Fahrenheit, could cause widespread crop failure and famine. Food prices would go up, economies would collapse, and waves of refugees would flee from equatorial areas to more habitable regions, putting further strain on the available food supply. The increased natural disasters could also result in a collapse of infrastructure, including hospitals, roads, and emergency services, causing thousands to die. It isn't all bad though; at least the northerners get to have sunnier weather on average (assuming you actually like hot weather). It just comes at the cost of immense human suffering and lives, of course.
• About 74,000 years ago, the supervolcano at Lake Toba erupted, creating a volcanic winter that reduced the human population to within hailing distance of extinction — as few as 10,000 breeding pairs. The resulting genetic bottleneck has been demonstrated by genetic studies. A similar eruption happening now would fit quite comfortably into this class (or possibly even Class 2).
• There are a number of Supervolcanoes on Earth and we get approximately one big eruption every 100,000 years. One example is the Yellowstone supervolcano, which could cause a Class 1 event for America thanks to the spread of lava and ash, and possibly even cause another Ice Age if the ash stays in the atmosphere long enough. While the Yellowstone supervolcano is overdue for an eruption, it's showing no signs of doing so (we would know months in advance thanks to seismic activity) and may never erupt again — but don't be disappointed, it's only the 21st most dangerous volcano in America.note

Input List – Definition & Detailed Explanation – Music Production Glossary
I. What is an Input List in Music Production?
An input list in music production is a detailed document that outlines all the audio sources or inputs that will be used during a recording session. It is essentially a roadmap for the audio engineer, detailing which microphones, instruments, and other audio sources will be connected to the recording equipment. The input list is crucial for ensuring that all necessary equipment is set up correctly and that the recording process runs smoothly.
II. How is an Input List Used in a Recording Studio?
In a recording studio, an input list serves as a guide for the audio engineer to set up the recording equipment properly. The input list will specify which microphones are needed for each instrument or vocal, as well as any direct inputs for electronic instruments. The engineer will use the input list to route the audio signals to the appropriate channels on the mixing console or audio interface.
III. What Information is Typically Included in an Input List?
An input list will typically include the following information:
– The name of each instrument or audio source
– The type of microphone or direct input needed
– The channel or input number on the mixing console or audio interface
– Any specific settings or processing requirements for each input
– Any additional notes or instructions for the audio engineer
IV. Why is an Input List Important in Music Production?
An input list is important in music production because it helps ensure that the recording process runs smoothly and efficiently. By detailing all the necessary audio sources and equipment, the input list helps the audio engineer set up the recording session quickly and accurately. This can save time and prevent technical issues that could disrupt the recording process.
V. How Does an Input List Help Ensure a Smooth Recording Session?
An input list helps ensure a smooth recording session by providing a clear roadmap for the audio engineer to follow. With all the necessary information laid out in advance, the engineer can set up the equipment quickly and accurately, reducing the risk of mistakes or technical issues. This allows the recording session to proceed smoothly and efficiently, without unnecessary delays or interruptions.
VI. What Are Some Common Mistakes to Avoid When Creating an Input List?
When creating an input list, it is important to avoid the following common mistakes:
– Failing to include all necessary audio sources or inputs
– Not providing enough detail or specific instructions for each input
– Forgetting to update the input list if there are changes to the recording setup
– Not communicating the input list effectively to the audio engineer or recording team
– Relying solely on memory or improvisation instead of creating a detailed input list
By avoiding these common mistakes and creating a thorough and accurate input list, music producers can help ensure a smooth and successful recording session.

We slide the remaining band away from the body of the watch and start digging for the battery.
Just like the battery bracket in its cellular-capable counterpart, this piece is held in by a less-than-friendly tri-point screw. Thankfully, our 64 Bit Driver Kit is up to the task!
With a deft flick of our spudger this watch is rendered powerless.
Is it just us, or is this disassembly off to an easy start?

Month: April 2023
Fakhraee et al. (2023): A biogeochemical model of mineral-based ocean alkalinity enhancement: impacts on the biological pump and ocean carbon uptake
Mojtaba Fakhraee, Zijian Li, Noah J Planavsky, Christopher T Reinhard IN: Environ. Res. Lett. 18, 044047, https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/acc9d4
The authors used a series of biogeochemical models to evaluate the gross CDR potential and environmental impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement using solid mineral feedstocks. The authors find that natural alkalinity sources—basalt and olivine—lead to very low CDR efficiency while strongly perturbing marine food quality and fecal pellet production by marine zooplankton.

Marinič & Likozar (2023): Direct air capture multiscale modelling: From capture material optimization to process simulations
Dana Marinič, Blaž Likozar IN: Journal of Cleaner Production 408, 137185, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2023.137185
The review provides an extensive evaluation of recent advances in multiscale modelling of DAC research. It introduces the theoretical physical descriptions of DAC, presents atom scale structuring, and brings together the state of the art of this, until now, poorly-researched analysis topic. Reviewed (CO2 mass) transfer works span from the ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculation relationships to mesoscale Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics simulations and micro-kinetics, adsorption/desorption, and lastly, most commonly-investigated specific macroscale concept. The modelled DAC processes properties reported in the literature have been compared, which allowed us to identify the most effective sorbents.
Lim et al. (2023): Unique CO2 adsorption of pine needle biochar-based activated carbons by induction of functionality transition
Chaehun Lim, Seo Gyeong Jeong, Seongmin Ha, Naeun Ha, Seongjae Myeong, Young-Seak Lee IN: Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiec.2023.04.008
In this work, the authors induced functionality transition of heteroatom-rich pine needle biochar based activated carbon for CO2 adsorption by modulating activation conditions. The surface functionalities and porosity of the activated carbon derived from pine needles were investigated intensively according to the activation conditions. The transition of surface functional groups and development of porosity were observed as activation progressed.

McDonald et al. (2023): Greenhouse Gas Removal in Australian Climate Law: A Positive Role for Negative Emissions
Jan McDonald, Kerryn Brent, Phillipa McCormack, Jeffrey McGee IN: UNSW Law Journal 46(1)
Australia’s path to net zero emissions must include both emissions reduction and removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Australia’s large landmass and expansive marine estates provide significant opportunities for implementing these negative emissions technologies (‘NETs’). Significant further legal innovation will be needed to facilitate NETs crediting and adapt existing environmental, health and safety legislation to this large-scale challenge. As a starting point, this article surveys the curreit went state of Australian law and identifies priority areas for developing a legal framework to facilitate responsible research and development of NETs in Australia.
Edenhofer et al. (2023): On the Governance of Carbon Dioxide Removal – A Public Economics Perspective
Ottmar Edenhofer, Max Franks, Matthias Kalkuhl, Artur Runge-Metzger, CESifo Working Paper No. 10370, April 2023, 43 Pages
This paper highlights the importance of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies for climate policy. The authors first describe their role in iconic transformation pathways and discuss removal costs and storage duration of different technologies. Based on economic principles, they characterize optimal removal flows and reservoirs for non-permanent removals. Furthermore, the authors discuss different pricing regimes that achieve an optimal allocation under different information and liability conditions.
Breunig et al. (2023): Emerging concepts in intermediate carbon dioxide emplacement to support carbon dioxide removal
Hanna Marie Breunig, Fabian Rosner, Tae-Hwan Lim, Peng Peng IN: Energy & Environmental Science, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ee03623a
Substantial upscaling of carbon dioxide capture is possible in the coming decades but existing solutions for storage are projected to be limited in annual capacity by as much as 2–10 GtCO2 per year until mid-century. Temporary storage of CO2 in a solid or liquid state could prove useful for filling this gap in capacity, until more permanent and ideally lucrative CO2 sequestration options come online. There are several concepts for reversible solid-state and chemical CO2 storage, but their advantages and limitations have yet to be reviewed in this context. This article focuses on the physical and chemical aspects of CO2 storage via liquid and solid chemical carriers and sorbents, and gives an overview of the energetics around their use, as well as prospects for their future development.

Shinya Aoki's Post-Fight Behavior After Breaking Hirota's Arm Crosses Line
Stay connected for news and updates
Shinya AokiWhen you're a professional athlete and you hear a competitor's bone snap, that should be enough to draw you out of whatever testosterone- or adrenaline-fueled action you're engaged in.
That disgusting, unmistakable sound serves as a reality check that the sport you're participating in has real-world consequences that extend far beyond the arena or stadium.
When that sound doesn't give way to the humanity in you, there's a problem.
During the Dynamite 2009 card held in Saitama, Japan, submission ace Shinya Aoki won his bout with Mizuto Hirota when he clearly broke Hirota's arm with a hammerlock. That should have been enough for him. But he was hardly done.
Instead, Aoki stood over his fallen opponent, extended his middle finger at him and taunted him. Then, he ran around the ring excitedly and flipped off the fans, jumped up to the second rope to bathe in the fans' reaction -- which incredibly was cheers -- before running back up the ramp and finally, thankfully, disappearing.
At no point did he go check on Hirota or exhibit any type of sportsmanship whatsoever.
His defenders will say, "Hey, it's the same thing Brock Lesnar did to Frank Mir after beating him at UFC 100."
First of all, Lesnar was soundly booed by the fans for his classless action after taunting Mir. Second, Mir hadn't suffered an obvious major injury in the fight. Third, Lesnar apologized in the post-fight press conference. Regardless, both Lesnar's and Aoki's actions were wrong.
What Aoki did is similar, but not the same. He knew his opponent had been badly hurt, but chose to take the lowest road possible in literally adding insult to injury.
We try to explain to people that what we're watching is a sport, that its participants are well trained, that they respect each other and can separate the personal from the professional. Sometimes, as in the case of Mir checking on Cheick Kongo after his grudge match victory earlier this month at UFC 107, we're proven right. The two had ripped each other in the media for days leading up to the fight, but after the final bell, Mir had the common decency to make sure he was OK.
And then they see things like Aoki's actions, and we look like idiots.
The arm break, I can live with, because Hirota did not tap or verbally submit. Aoki has every right to work the hold until either one of those actions happens or, as eventually occurred, a limb breaks. That's just the reality of our sport, and Hirota is just as responsible for the broken limb as Aoki, as he could have tapped out and saved himself.
(Warning: The video below contains obscene gestures.)
But the actions afterward are all on Aoki.
Regardless of what trash talk went on before the fight, you should have enough basic human compassion to realize that the unnatural sound that just came from your opponent's arm signifies something horrific has happened. At that point, you've won. You're the Alpha male in the fight. Your opponent is literally lying in submission at your feet. What does the middle finger prove? You can't kill someone twice, you know?
People say, "It's fighting, not chess." Once the bell rings, it ceases to be fighting. Then, whether it's orchestrated for effect or an immature reaction, it's just you acting like a jerk.
Maybe that's OK with Aoki. At 23-4 and as the DREAM lightweight champion, he has spoken of wanting a higher profile in the MMA world. A 77-second win over the Sengoku champion was impressive enough, but maybe this was his way of getting it for himself. Well, he got it. Everyone's writing and talking about him now. But there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.
You want your higher profile? Here it is: talent of a mature champion, behavior of a cranky toddler. You may be a great athlete, but you're no sportsman
