Pritchett Raced to Victory at Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals in Denver
MORRISON, Colorado (July 22, 2018) - Leah Pritchett put the cherry on top of a dream weekend at the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals, flying her Mopar Dodge 1320 "Angry Bee" Top Fuel dragster from the No. 1 spot to her first professional win at Bandimere Speedway.
The victory was Pritchett's second of the year in three final rounds this season, the seventh overall of her career, and moved her to third in the point standings. The Wally trophy was also the eighth of the season for a DSR driver.
Pritchett's Denver domination began in qualifying, where she knocked out a 3.799-second at 327.19 mph pass, the fastest ever at Bandimere Speedway, to lock down the pole, her second straight of the season and second consecutive at Bandimere. Pritchett also collected 11 out of 12 possible qualifying points.
The Mopar Dodge 1320 driver opened eliminations with a steady 3.857-second at 322.81-mph lap to outrun Terry Totten, and then unleashed the "Angry Bee" to the tune of 3.806, the quickest of the round, to send home Scott Palmer. Pritchett ran a 3.826 in the semifinals, matched by her opponent Clay Millican's identical 3.826 E.T., but Pritchett's sharper 0.043-second reaction time earned her the starting line advantage and the round win.
In her second consecutive final-round appearance at Denver and 11th overall of her career, Pritchett trailed briefly against Doug Kalitta but quickly put her Mopar Dodge 1320 in the lead and never looked back, laying down a HEMI-powered 3.831-second at 316.45-mph pass to Kalitta's losing 3.852-second effort.
"This is all because I have a phenomenal team and an incredible racecar," said Pritchett, who jumped to third in the Top Fuel standings with her performance today, 183 points behind leader Steve Torrence and just 10 points behind second-place Millican.
"We have some incredible, stiff competition but, from Friday to Saturday to today, nobody had a better racecar because, in my opinion, nobody has a better team. To do it in this fashion, it's a couple of ways – this is the Dodge Mile-High Nationals powered by Mopar and Pennzoil, and we're the 1320 Scat Pak R/T car and, on top of that, I was here in 1997 and got my very first Wally. I didn't win the national championship in a Junior Dragster but my team did. And it is no different today – this team got me my first Wally here on the mountain. To me, this win is bigger than winning the U.S. Nationals. Winning on the mountain is doing something. The glory goes to God, it goes to Don Schumacher for giving me an incredible team, and everybody at Don Schumacher Racing who builds these racecars for giving me something so safe, so solid. There's a reason I always dreamed of driving for Don Schumacher Racing and this is it."

Driver Information:
Top Fuel:
Driver of the Matco Tools/U.S. Army Top Fuel Dragster
Qualified: No. 8 (3.856 E.T. at 318.47 MPH)
E1: 4.047 E.T. at 300.13 MPH defeated by Scott Palmer 3.894 E.T. at 317.34 MPH
Race Recap:
Antron Brown was 10-0 against his first-round opponent Scott Palmer as they kicked off the elimination rounds on Sunday at Bandimere Speedway. The reigning Denver Top Fuel champion was quick on the throttle with a 0.044-second reaction time versus Palmer's 0.079, but the Matco Tools machine dropped a cylinder early into the run and the upset-minded Palmer was able to drive away with the round win.
Quotable:
"We made some good runs yesterday in qualifying, but it was just disappointing in the first round today. I stepped on the gas and dropped a hole and it was game over. The mountain has been really good to us in the past, but sometimes it can eat your lunch like it did to us today. It just caught us off-guard and we dropped a hole. Now we need to go back and work on getting our car changed back over and get ready for the Toyota Nats in Sonoma."
Driver of the U.S. Army Top Fuel Dragster
E1: 3.852 E.T. at 321.12 MPH defeated by Doug Kalitta 3.849 E.T. at 320.43 MPH
The Tony Schumacher/Doug Kalitta monster matchup was an exciting spectacle for the packed Bandimere Speedway grandstands. The veteran drivers were nearly identical leaving the starting line and were neck-and-neck down the 1,000-foot stretch, but Kalitta surged ahead and took the win ending the U.S. Army team's day.
"It was a phenomenal race – there's no other way to look at it. You could be upset that the race is over, but you can't be upset with what we did. It would've beat every other car but one with the reaction time and the E.T. and we lost by one 10,000th of a second. We could say it put a hole out or some other excuse but it doesn't matter because it was a great race. The car ran what we wanted it to run, I left like I wanted to leave, it was a phenomenal race. That's just two drivers cowboying up and the fans got the win there. They paid money to watch that particular run. I said it was going to be a great race and it was."
Funny Car:
Driver of the Infinite Hero Foundation Dodge Charger R/T
E1: 4.689 E.T. at 182.21 MPH defeated Bye
E2: 4.528 E.T. at 214.25 MPH defeated by Ron Capps 4.082 E.T. at 309.70 MPH
Three-time event winner and Infinite Hero Dodge Charger R/T driver Jack Beckman opened eliminations with a solo run after Todd Simpson was unable to make the call due to body damage. In the second round against DSR stablemate Capps, a dropped cylinder dashed "Fast" Jack's hopes for a fourth Denver triumph.
"Coming into Denver is always an anomaly. The tune-up is just so, so different here. We go up against our teammate (Ron Capps) second round, do our burnout and I'm starting to backup and I see a rain drop on the windshield. Not long after that, the starter gave us the signal to kill the car and that's always a crap shoot. Whenever you have to shut the car off on the starting line and restart it, you just don't know how much heat is in the clutch. Now both of us had to do it, but obviously our clutch just didn't like it. The car went out there and dropped a cylinder and we lost. Qualifying second, we should be doing better than this on race day. We'll come off the mountain, we'll go back to our standard tune-up in Sonoma. We're starting to wind up for Indy and the Countdown and I think we're going to be peaking at the right time."
Driver of the NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T
E1: 4.101 E.T. at 312.93 MPH defeated J.R. Todd 4.133 E.T. at 311.27 MPH
E2: 4.082 E.T. at 309.70 MPH defeated Jack Beckman 4.528 E.T. at 214.25 MPH
E3: 4.052 E.T. at 313.88 MPH defeated Robert Hight 4.035 E.T. at 314.31 MPH
E4: 4.067 E.T. at 308.71 MPH defeated by John Force 4.075 E.T. at 315.42 MPH
Ron Capps raced his NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T to a runner-up finish on Sunday at the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals.
Capps, winner in 2009 on "Thunder Mountain," started race day in the seventh position. The 2016 world champion took his Mopar-powered NAPA Dodge to a round-one win over J.R. Todd, leading off the starting line and carrying it to the finish. An all-Mopar Dodge matchup against teammate Jack Beckman awaited Capps in the quarterfinals. Capps had the advantage off the starting tree with a 0.072-second reaction, and his 4.082-second at 309.70-mph pass was more than plenty to beat Beckman, who lost a cylinder early.
In the semis, Capps' ultra-quick reflexes (0.036 reaction time) earned the holeshot win with his 4.052-second pass versus reigning world champion Robert Hight's 4.035 E.T., sending Capps to his 115th career final round and third of the season.
The final round found Capps and John Force, the two winningest Funny Car drivers in NHRA history, battling it out for the Bandimere Speedway Wally. Capps had met-up with Force 94 times prior, with Capps emerging victorious 38 times, including all three of their previous 2018 race day matchups. In their 95thmeeting, Capps powered to a solid pass of 4.067-seconds, but Force was able to snag the holeshot win with his 4.075 E.T.
Capps' long day of going rounds on the mountain enabled him to collect 96 points and move up from fourth to third in the NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship point standings.
"You can say all you want about him deep-staging, but he turned the win light on, and that's why he's John Force. We'll get a crack at him again soon, I'm sure. It was a great weekend to represent Dodge, Pennzoil and everyone on the mountain. My NAPA AutoCare guys were on it. We had some very quick turnarounds today, and they just kept plugging away.
"It was one of those days. You live and die by the sword. We won on a holeshot against Robert (Hight), and then we lost in the final. Both close races, but it was fun to watch Rahn Tobler incrementally make these changes to make the car quicker and quicker all day.
"This is a one-off race, the way we look at it. I can't say how fun it was to watch (crew chief) Rahn Tobler and (assistant crew chief) Dustin (Heim) work today. The drivers talk about how difficult it is up on this mountain, but it pales in comparison to our crew members and what they go through to service these cars in the heat and the altitude. They're the inspiration.
"Can't wait to get back down to sea level, go to the Eric Medlen dinner on Thursday night and then race on my favorite track, Sonoma Raceway."
Driver of the Mopar Express Lane Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
Qualified: No. 12 (4.093 E.T. at 310.55 MPH)
No. 12 qualifier Matt Hagan gave it his best shot at taking the new Mopar Express Lane Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Funny Car body to its first round win on Sunday. Coming into Denver off back-to-back wins, Hagan left first against John Force with a quick-trigger 0.033-second reaction time to Force's slower 0.050. Both drivers dropped cylinders, with Force managing to beat Hagan and the Hellcat to the finish line.
"It was nice to shake the new Mopar Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat body down some more. Obviously, the mountain has been brutal to us. It doesn't show us much love up here but it's one race out of the whole series, and it's totally different from any of the other conditions we see. We come up here and we try some new things every year, some of it works, some of it doesn't. We still have a phenomenal race car. We're coming up at a point where things are starting to click at the right time. I don't think this race is a reflection of what we're capable of.
"We'll get back down to sea level where we've been running good and strong. I'm excited for these next two races on the swing. Should be having a brand-new baby when I get home. We're going to induce my wife on Monday night if she doesn't have it before then, so it's going to be a super exciting week for me. I'm looking forward to holding the baby for a little bit before we head back out. Things are just really good right now."
TOMMY JOHNSON JR.
Driver of the Make-A-Wish Foundation Dodge Charger R/T
E1: 4.094 E.T. at 308.28 MPH defeated Bob Tasca III 4.998 E.T. at 167.99 MPH
E2: 4.117 E.T. at 313.58 MPH defeated by Robert Hight 4.052 E.T. at 318.09 MPH
Tommy Johnson Jr. has been to the final round four times in four different classes at Bandimere Speedway, including last year's runner-up finish. Starting from the top half of the field, Johnson was hoping to seal the deal with his first event win of 2018.
Johnson kicked off his Denver campaign with a first-round matchup versus Bob Tasca III. Johnson was 5-0 against Tasca going into race day and was able to extend his record by one after wheeling the Make-A-Wish Dodge down the track in 4.094-seconds, defeating Tasca's 4.998-second pass.
Johnson drew reigning world champion Robert Hight in round two. Both drivers made clean runs but Johnson's day ended at the quarterfinals when his 4.117-second run was not enough to take down Hight's 4.052-second pass.
"I told the guys, even through losing second round, I feel like this was one of our better races that we've had in a while. The car was very consistent, ran very well, no parts damage and it kind of gives us some momentum for the rest of the swing. I think we are starting to figure the new track prep out, the car seems to be turning the corner and it gives me a lot of confidence going into the next two."

BkiUd3fxaKgT8WttEuXj | Q: Which cfsqltype to use for Oracle's Number(*,0) datatype in cfqueryparam? I am a little bit confused with which datatype I should use for Oracle's Number(*,0) with zero scale and any precision?
Which one should I use CF_SQL_INTEGER or CF_SQL_FLOAT? and why?
A: According to the documentation, Number(*,0) means you are working with very large integers, ie up to 38 digits and no decimal places:
column_name NUMBER (precision, scale)
... precision (total number of digits) and scale (number of digits to
the right of the decimal point):
column_name NUMBER (*, scale)
In this case, the precision is 38, and the specified scale is
maintained.
That is too many digits to store in CF_SQL_INTEGER. To support the full range, requires a type with a much greater capacity. Looking at the standard JDBC Mappings that means either java.sql.Types.NUMERIC or java.sql.Types.DECIMAL. Both of those use java's BigDecimal for storage, which has more than enough capacity for Number(38,0).
The cfqueryparam matrix and Oracle JDBC driver documentation both say the same thing about the DECIMAL type. Since java.sql.Types.NUMERIC is really just a synonym for java.sql.Types.DECIMAL you can use either one.
Note: When using cfqueryparam, if you omit the "scale" attribute, it defaults to scale="0", ie no decimal places.
<cfqueryparam type="CF_SQL_DECIMAL" scale="0" value="....">

$180 million of Lottery Grants
Beehive, Wellington, 10 July 2015: Internal Affairs Minister and Presiding Member of the Lottery Grants Board, Hon Peter Dunne today announced $180 million of Lottery funding is being made available to support communities throughout New Zealand.
"The Board is pleased to be able to focus the 2015/16 allocations on providing support to groups and organisations undertaking vital work within the community, with over $94 million being allocated to the core Lottery Distribution Committees.
"Last year, core Lottery Distribution Committees funded over 3000 requests, providing significant funding into the community sector. By focusing allocations for 2015/16 on core distribution committees, we are aiming to maximise the support for community based organisations" says Mr Dunne.
Further support for World War One Commemoration projects has also been provided for 2015/16, in addition to the $22 million which has previously been allocated over the last three years to commemorate this significant anniversary.
"I am very proud for the Board to be able to contribute to making the commemoration of the First World War a success. The allocation for 2015/16 will enable projects which recognise the many different aspects of the war, from telling New Zealander's stories to being able to commemorate those who lost their lives, to be funded.
"The Board will continue to support arts, culture and sporting initiatives through funding of over $84 million to the three statutory bodies supported by the Board: the New Zealand Film Commission (including Nga Taonga Sound and Vision), Creative New Zealand and Sport New Zealand" says Mr Dunne.
A full breakdown of the 2015/16 allocation is below:

Cervical spondylosis is degeneration of the bones in the neck (vertebrae) and the disks between them, putting pressure on (compressing) the spinal cord in the neck.
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of cervical spondylosis.
The first symptoms are often an unsteady, jerky walk and pain and loss of flexibility in the neck.
Magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography can confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment includes a soft neck collar, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and sometimes surgery.
(See also Overview of Spinal Cord Disorders.)
Cervical spondylosis usually affects middle-aged and older people. It is a common cause of spinal cord dysfunction among people older than 60.
As people age, osteoarthritis becomes more common. It causes vertebrae in the neck to degenerate. When bone in the vertebrae attempts to repair itself, it overgrows, producing abnormal outgrowths of bone (spurs) and narrowing the spinal canal in the neck. (The spinal canal is the passageway that runs through the center of the spine and contains the spinal cord.) The disks between vertebrae also degenerate, decreasing the cushioning that otherwise protects the spinal cord. These changes may result in spinal cord compression, causing dysfunction. Because the tissue is damaged, it is more susceptible to injury. For example, minor neck trauma due to a fall or whiplash can severely damage the spinal cord.
Some people are born with a narrow spinal canal. In them, compression due to spondylosis may be more severe.
Often, the spinal nerve roots (the part of spinal nerves located next to the spinal cord—see figure How the Spine Is Organized) are also compressed.
Symptoms of cervical spondylosis may result from compression of the spinal cord, the spinal nerve roots, or both.
If the spinal cord is compressed, the first sign is usually a change in walking. Leg movements may become jerky (spastic), and walking becomes unsteady. Sensation below the neck may be decreased. The neck may be painful and become less flexible. Reflexes in the legs typically become exaggerated, sometimes causing muscles to contract involuntarily (called spasms). Coughing, sneezing, and other movements of the neck may worsen symptoms. Sometimes the hands are affected more than the legs and feet.
If severe, compression may impair bladder and bowel function. If minor neck trauma severely damages the spinal cord, all four limbs may suddenly become paralyzed.
If spinal nerve roots are compressed, the neck is usually painful, and the pain often radiates to the head, shoulders, or arms. Muscles in one or both arms may become weak and waste away, making the arms weak.
Magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography
Doctors suspect cervical spondylosis based on symptoms, especially in older people or in people who have osteoarthritis.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or myelography with CT can confirm the diagnosis. MRI provides much more information because it shows the spinal cord and roots. CT does not show them. However, both procedures show where the spinal canal is narrowed, how compressed the spinal cord is, and which spinal nerve roots may be affected.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
A soft neck collar
Sometimes surgery
For spasms, a muscle relaxant
Without treatment, symptoms of spinal cord dysfunction due to cervical spondylosis sometimes lessen or remain the same, but they may worsen.
Initially, especially if only nerve roots are compressed, a soft neck collar to support the neck and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen may provide relief. If they do not, surgery may be needed.
If the spinal cord is compressed, surgery is usually needed. An incision may be made through the front or back of the neck. Then, part of the affected vertebrae is removed to make more room for the spinal cord—a procedure called laminectomy. Bone spurs, if present, are removed, and the spine may be stabilized by fusing the vertebrae together. As a rule, surgery does not reverse the existing nerve damage, but it prevents additional nerve damage. The earlier the surgery, the better the outcome.
Because the spine may be unstable after surgery, people may need to wear a rigid brace to hold the head still while healing occurs.
If muscle spasms occur, baclofen, a muscle relaxant, helps relieve them.

BkiUdoE4dbghePBCnOdJ | Thursday had me working with a new photographer, Chris Nutt. Chris takes beautiful photographs of beautiful boys and girls.
In the studio today we got to play with the ever so handsome Ross, winner of this years Elite Model Look. At just 16 years old Ross was scouted in London's Covent Garden whilst out shopping with his mum.
I was excited to work with Ross as I was there at the final where I watched him walk the catwalk in front of hundreds of people and the judges. He was crowned winner out of 11 competitors and the standards were very high. Here is a photo just before the winner was announced.
So, Into the studio came a very tall (6ft 1!) young man all bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to have some photos taken for his book. As a make up artist you'll often be asked to do natural grooming for male models. Although it's not as exciting as working with girls, it's always real fun and laid back, and Ross was no exception.
For the grooming I kept it simple, cleansed his skin and massaged the cleanser in for a mini facial massage to get his blood moving and waken the face. At 16 years he he really didn't need much doing as he had the gift of youthful skin, therefore I used a thin layer of MAC's face and body, and concealed just where he needed it. I gelled his brows into place, and mattified his skin and moisturised his lips and he was pretty much ready to go! With male models you only really need to apply what is needed, to enhance the looks and not change them too much, and to keep the texture of the skin looking as natural as possible.
Apologies that I didn't get a closeup, but here is Ross in action after I released him from my make up chair!
Have a super smashing great weekend. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd7k5i7PA9OlIE8u2 | The show will premiere on Saturday at The Word, , in South Shields.
South Tyneside's industrial past will be brought to life in a fascinating show which celebrates the borough's history this weekend.
'Down to the River' will bring together music, poetry and visuals to explore the impact of industrial decline and loss.
The multi-media performance will be premiered at The Word, National Centre for the Written Word, in Market Place, South Shields, on Saturday.
The show revolves around a character who faces an uncertain future after the loss of the traditional industries.
It was inspired by playwright and poet Tom Kelly's poem Geordie, which appeared in his collection Dreamers in a Cold Climate, published in 2008.
Work by photographer Kev Howard will also be featured, as well as soundscapes created by North East composer Steve Thompson.
Mr Kelly said: "This multi-media performance gives a voice to those made mute by history.
"We feel that the working class has been silenced.
"Major industries, in particular shipbuilding, in the North East have disappeared in our lifetime and little has been said of their loss and the impact upon local communities.
Tickets are £5.50 per person, and the performance will take place in the Catherine Cookson Room at The Word between 2pm and 4pm.
For more information and to book tickets, visit www.theworduk.org. For more, go to www.facebook.com/worduk, www.instagram.com/theword_UK or @theword_uk on Twitter. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUbPTxK0zjCsHeY6CH | Long or Short what should I do ? Wouldn't it be great if someone could tell us tomorrow's closing prices today ? Unfortunately no one can (legally) that is why we have Technical analysis and for technical analysis we have chart pattern, and without the chart pattern can not imagine about technical analysis.
In this pattern recognition article we will show you some of the most widely followed chart patterns in technical analysis of stock, forex market and teach you the proper way to draw them and explain how I trade them.
The head and shoulders pattern is known on Dalal Street as one of the trend-reversal pattern.
Of all the patterns we just went over this is the most reliable for me. This is one pattern worth looking for.
This is one of the more complex patterns to identify.
What makes the H&S set up complex is that.
The first (left) and third (right) peaks (high) are shoulders, and the second peak forms the head.
The trend line for this pattern should be drawn from the beginning of the right shoulder through to the left shoulder.
The confirmation for this pattern is complete when the stock breaks the neckline. For a short trigger.
A double top occurs when the price of a stock has made one high and drops back to a key support level only again to be met with buyers that run the price up to the first high.
I trade this set up the same way I trade double bottom but only in reverse (Short Sell). Again just like I mapped out on the double bottom set up. I execute the trade come to me only this time for a short position, i.e. If the first top is at 80.00 I will set a sell (short) at 80.10 – 80.50 depending on the stock and the over all trend of the day. With a tight stop right above my entry. This is also one of the less risky set up's reason being is if were wrong we know right away and can reverse the trade or take the stop.
The top part of this pattern has a downward slant and the flat bottom part makes up a descending triangle set up and just like with the Ascending Triangle.
The descending (Sloping) triangle as I like to call it. All my best intraday shorts trade have been due to this set up. When you hear me yell "Sloping" It's more than likely I am trading a descending triangle set up.
An easy way to find descending set up's is to look for stocks that are making lower highs.
This is one of the important technical patterns on to the chart, As its name implies, there are two necessary parts to complete the formation: the cup and the handle. The cup forms after an advance and looks like a rounding bottom formation or bowl. As the cup (rounding bottom formation) is completed, a trading range develops on the right hand side and the handle is formed on the chart. A subsequent breakout from the handles trading range signals a continuation of the prior advance.
The way I have been trading this pattern recently in the bear market is to short the resistance level. Reason being the trend has been to sell all resistance lately. As the saying goes make the trend your friend !
Higher tops and higher bottoms make up a Bear flag set up and just like with the bull flag you'll want to make sure the trend lines are as close to parallel as can be, also Bear flags have a tendency to slope against the trend. Which make them look like a "V" bottom and a possible reversal at first. This is the main reason why conformation on this set up is critical. Remember conformation is the key to this pattern and must complete before a trade is put on. If there were one set up I would recommend studying more than others before acting on it this would be it.
As with any one of these patterns we just went over they always work best when you are aware of Current market conditions and know the stocks & futures you are trading. That is Key in this Business.
Charts pattern from number 6-10 will describe in our next article of tutorial series(Part-2) soon.
Now no need to open multiple web pages for calculation of various type of pivot points method to find support and resistance levels.
Forget this headache and use the new way of calculation, This excellent 5 in 1 pivot widget enables you to calculate multiple pivot based important support and resistance levels on a single page.
To Add this widget on your blog / website copy the code below and paste it.
How to Use :- To use this widget and calculate all these important levels, you'll need last days open high low and close price. For intraday trading the open price is necessary to calculate demark's pivot method levels.
you may left the open price, as result you won't get the demark's target range levels.
Similarly, you can also calculate the weekly pivot point levels for your favorable stocks or index like nifty.

BkiUdA45qhDBQzqNE15J | Today was a beautiful Winter's Day in Adelaide... though it only reached 15 degrees (or thereabouts). It was fine, and not even a breeze. Well, as we'd all been cooped up inside for too long, we decided to go out for the afternoon. And to my surprise, L-kun wanted to go bush-walking. I decided we'd have a look at Anstey Hill Recreation Park, one that we'd not been to before. So off we went... looking for adventure.
The park itself can be found at the end of Lower North East Road and Grand Junction Roads, in the foothills of the North East suburbs, about 18km from the city centre.
There are a number of lookouts, and the view towards the city is good... though from this vantage point you might actually suspect that Adelaide was a city of trees, with the city centre perched far into the distance.
Now, whilst you can grab information from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (see link above), there's not much of a map that goes with it. The Park is about 380 hectares, and much of it used to be either quarry or (of all things) a nursery, as well as semi-rural land. It's been turned into a Recreation Park to ensure that it doesn't get developed and eventually returns to something like it's natural state. Not having been to the park before, I though the "Geological Hike" sounded interesting for L-kun... even though it was rated as a moderate bush walk... this can be reached from Gate 9 on the SW corner of the park.
The Park itself is quite nice, though quite different from the other parks in/around Adelaide. It has a feel of a slowly evolving rural landscape... and is a good mix of open land, and bushland, with a range of hills and valleys.
And even though the Winter's been wet, and the drought an increasingly distant memory, every where there are signs of it.
But also of the new life returning to the landscape.
For reasons I'll explain shortly, it was difficult to take photos today, and the wild-flowers hadn't really appeared in all their glory yet.
But it was still a very pleasant environment, and not at all like the thick scrub we would often walk through.
The great thing about the Geological Hike is the fact that there's a mix of views of the city, the old "gun emplacement" and the quarries to walk through. The rocks in the quarry are old - as they say - as the Hills. About 450million years ago the sands were turned into a mountain... and the park also spans the Eden-Burnside fault line which marks the transition from Adelaide Plains to Mt Lofty Ranges.
And the quarries are fun to walk around, observing through the cut in the mountainside, the history of Adelaide through a geologists eyes.
Actually, one of the unexpected things that happened during the day was that L-kun decided that he'd go Dinosaur Bone hunting/ I think he'd taken to heart a dinosaur show he'd seen on tv a while back, and all of a sudden everything he saw on the ground was a dinosaur bone. And I mean everything!
As for myself, I got into the act.... but you can also see that this wasn't the only thing that I was concerned about. I was the official baby carrier for our bushwalk adventure, and this was the first time we'd tried out the baby carrier with C-chan. So I wasn't really able to enjoy the freedom to photograph as I would like, but I like to think that it was a shared compromise, and a shared moment of peaceful togetherness. Especially as C-chan fell asleep through most of it.
We had a great time - and L-kun brought back a bag (yes, I mean a big bag) of "dinosaur bones". I don't have the heart to tell him that they were just rocks, but I figure, what do I know... somewhere in that bag was the remains of our deep deep past. Whether it was bones of long-gone animals or the bones of our world. Either way, I loved that he was so excited about it, and it certainly made for a more interesting walk. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUcB7xK7kjXIdG9eCO | Phyllactinia guttata (Wallr.) Lév. – gatunek grzybów należący do rodziny mączniakowatych (Erysiphaceae. Pasożyt atakujący wiele gatunków drzew i krzewów.
Systematyka i nazewnictwo
Pozycja w klasyfikacji według Index Fungorum: Erysiphe, Erysiphaceae, Erysiphales, Leotiomycetidae, Leotiomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi.
Po raz pierwszy zdiagnozował go w 1801 r. Christiaan Hendrik Persoon jako Sclerotium erysiphe ß corylea. W 1819 r. Carl Friedrich Wallroth nadał mu nazwę Alphitomorpha guttata. Obecną, uznaną przez Index Fungorum nazwę nadał mu w 1851 r. Joseph Henri Léveillé.
Synonimy:
Morfologia
Grzyb mikroskopijny. Grzybnia biała, czasami obfita i trwała, czasami zanikająca. Rozwija się na dolnej stronie liścia w postaci oddzielnych kolonii. Zarodniki konidialne odrywają się pojedynczo. Mają romboidalny kształt i rozmiary 50–90 × 10–120 μm. klejstotecja występują na dolnej powierzchni liści zazwyczaj w rozproszeniu, ale czasami w grupach. Mają kulisty kształt, średnicę 160–230 μm i niewyraźną strukturę wewnętrzną. Na powierzchni pokryte są siateczką pęknięć i zmarszczek. Posiadają 6-15 bezbarwnych przyczepek. Przyczepki te różnią się długością – niektóre są krótsze, niektóre dłuższe, a ich długości mieszczą się w granicach 191-290 μm. Przyczepki są proste, sztywne, bez przegród, hialinowe lub półhialinowe, posiadają bulwiastą nasadę, ostry koniec i przypominają swoją budową włosa. W klejstotecjum znajduje się 8-25 worków o kształcie od jajowatego do półcylindrycznego i rozmiarach 70–100 × 25–40 μm. Powstają w nich po dwie, rzadziej trzy askospory o zmiennej wielkości i zmiennych rozmiarach mieszczących się w granicach 25–45 × 15–45μm.
Przyczepki wyrastające z klejstotecjum mają oryginalną budowę. Ich włókna pochłaniając wodę stają się galaretowate. Ułatwia to przyczepianie się klejstotecjów do liści.
Szkodliwość
Phyllactinia guttata wraz z Erysiphe adunca powodują u zaatakowanych drzew i krzewów podobne skutki: osłabienie roślin, obumieranie liści i ich przedwczesne zrzucanie, zahamowanie rozwoju. Ponawiające się przez kolejne lata epidemie tej choroby znacznie osłabiają roślinę i czynią ją podatną na atak innych patogenów.
W sezonie wegetacyjnym rozmnaża się bezpłciowo przez konidia wytwarzane na liściach. Są one źródłem infekcji wtórnych. Pod koniec sezonu wegetacyjnego powstają klejstotecja. Z klejstotecjów, które przezimowały na opadłych liściach wiosną powstają askospory dokonujące infekcji pierwotnej. Zarówno konidia, jak i askospory przenoszone są przez wiatr.
Nie stosuje się zwalczania chemicznego.
Występowanie
Jest szeroko rozprzestrzeniony w całej Europie i niemal całej Azji (Chiny, Formoza, Indie, Iran, Japonia, Korea, Turcja, ZSRR). Występuje także w USA i Kanadzie. W Polsce pospolity, w piśmiennictwie naukowym podano jego występowanie na licznych stanowiskach i na wielu gatunkach drzew.
Pasożyt i saprotrof rozwijający się na wielu gatunkach drzew i krzewów, głównie w obrębie rodziny brzozowatych (Betula, Carpinus, Corylus, Ostrya), bukowatych (Castanea, Fagus, Quercus) i orzechowców (Juglans, Platyearya, Pterocarya). Występuje także na Acer, Aesculus, Aralia, Asclepias, Azalia, Bukszpan, Catalpa, Chionanthus, Cornus, Frangula, Hedera, Humulus, Paliurus, Populus, Prunus, Rhamnus, Ribes, Salix, Sorbus, Syringa, Ulmus.
Gatunki podobne
Mikroskopowo cechą charakterystyczną odróżniającą Phyllactinia guttata od innych gatunków Phyllactinia jest wielkość klejstotecjów: 160–230 μm.

BkiUdbI5jDKDyIlaYy2m | This is a pork dish our little ones devour with gusto, asking us for "more meat, please." Dad created this dish himself for dinner one night, and after a few tweaks, he's satisfied with the recipe - so are we. Yum!
Mix the sea salt and sugar together and sprinkle on both sides of the pork chops. Place on a wire rack resting over a baking pan and marinate in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Remove from refrigerator and place wire rack and pan into a 250℉ oven for 35 minutes.
With 5 minutes left, melt butter in a large skillet over on medium heat. Add rosemary and stir to combine with melted butter. Sear pork chops until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add maple syrup and heat until bubbling. Remove pork chops to a cutting board. Add flour to the pan and whisk to blend the flour into the cooking liquid to create a roux. Next, add enough chicken stock (or white wine) to achieve a gravy-like consistency and stir to combine. Scrape off any bits (a.k.a. The Flavour) stuck to the bottom of the pan so it, too, becomes part of the gravy.
Meanwhile, slice the pork chops into thin strips, place in a shallow bowl, or on a serving platter, and pour the gravy over the pork. Alternatively, put the sliced meat back to the pan and stew it for a minute or two prior to placing the pork in a bowl.
Be sure to bring a spoon when you serve the pork chops so you can add more sauce to your plate! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbePxaKPQoktPgKBM | Chris Chester hit out at Wigan's "naughty" tactics after Wakefield lost four players to injury in their 30-20 victory over the struggling Super League champions.
"I've not really had chance to speak to the physio but Jacob Miller doesn't look great, Anthony England was a clash of knees, Reece Lyne another knee and Kyle Wood ankle," said Chester.
"It was a crazy game and a lot of naughty stuff went on tonight which I think should have been penalised.
"Reece Lyne's knee could have been avoided and there were a couple of other challenges where the players attacked the knee. The sooner we eradicate that from the game the better. That was just ridiculous.
"I'm really disappointed the way we lost a couple of those blokes.
"We've lost four blokes. It's a tough one and kind of takes the gloss off the result.
"The fighting spirit we showed tonight was unbelievable. For David Fifita to do 80 minutes is an unbelievable effort.
"I'm just a bit deflated because of the fact we've lost so many key players tonight. With a couple of them I don't think it's going to be short term either."
The game came to life in the closing stages of the first half as Wakefield blitzed Wigan with three tries in four minutes through Craig Kopczak, Joe Arundel and Max Jowitt.
Ben Jones-Bishop ended his long wait for his first try of 2019 and then added a second to finish the Warriors off in a milestone match for Chester.
But the Trinity head coach said: "Tonight's been the most challenging of the 100 games."
Chester did have some upbeat news for Wakefield fans, though, with in-form prop Fifita on the verge of committing his future to the club.
"David doesn't want to leave," he said. "I'm quietly confident by next week we'll have a signature on paper.
"He's a key player for us and I'm confident he'll be here for the long term."
While Trinity made it three wins in a row, injury-hit Wigan were left to reflect on a seventh defeat of a wretched title defence.
The Warriors are only two points above bottom spot but head coach Adrian Lam is confident they can make a late charge for the play-offs once the injured troops return.
"It was frustrating," said Lam. "With the side we had we competed well for 35 minutes then four or five minutes of mayhem turned the whole game.
"It's hard to get angry at the players when they're doing their best. There's a lot of young players in there so I just want to keep their confidence up during this period and support them. We need to stick together.
"I'm looking forward to making sure we just get through this period in good shape and when players start coming back I think we can do some really damaging stuff at the back end of the year." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

DVD Replication provides a long-term solution to store higher volumes of data than a CD. DVD Replication is the industry standard procedure for manufacturing DVDs. Whereas DVD Duplication uses enhanced DVD-R media and 'burns' the data to a heat-sensitive surface, DVD Replication actually "presses" the audio onto an aluminium and plastic disc, creating physical pits in the surface. This is then covered in a clear plastic layer, to stop the pits collecting dirt and dust.
There are two main DVD options: DVD-5 and DVD-9. DVD-5 can store 4.7GB of data (up to 2 hours of video), whereas DVD-9 stores 8.54GB of data (about 4 hours of video footage). The only physical difference between the two types of disc is that DVD-9 dics are dual layer, whereas DVD-5 discs are single layer. We have pricelists below for both types. DVD-10 is another option, which is double sided (you turn the disc over to use the other side) and can store 9.4GB of data. You can only print on the hub of these discs as both sides contain data and for these practical reasons we do not offer DVD-10 replication.

BkiUdBA5ixsDMQX0hju_ | Preventing moisture issues in your building

Quality, Environmental, High performance & sustainability
The role of vapor retarders on building performance
It doesn't have to be ice, a leak or a flood that causes significant damage to your building and operations. Moisture, even in its smallest form, can have devastating results if not properly controlled. In addition to property and structural damage, moisture is a breeding ground for mold, mildew and insects, which bring with them exposure to health-related issues.
In this post I will discuss the nearly invisible state of water – vapor – and how we can control its ability to infiltrate our walls and affect the health of our buildings. Vapor is water that is suspended as particles in the air, and it's this water, which we can't see, that is ever present and the most challenging to control.
There will be water
We may as well face the fact that moisture will enter the building. Exterior building assemblies are not water tight.
Understanding how water moves and how building envelopes interact with HVAC systems and the enviroment allows architects and engineers to specify the right mechanical systems and manage moisture intrusion through the building envelope design. For contractors, it's important to ensure that just as there is a way for water to enter the building, there is also a way out.
So how does water vapor move? Generally, water vapor travels from the warm side of building to the cold side of the building and from high pressure to low pressure.
Hygrothermal map - used with permission from buildingscience.com.
The role of the vapor retarder
The main function of a vapor retarder is to control water in its vapor form. The installation of a vapor retarder, particularly in our cold climate is extremely important. Installing or not installing a vapor retarder in the correct location is the first defense in building a durable and healthy wall system.
The goal of installing a vapor retarder is to keep the interior warm, moist air from getting to a cold exterior surface. Vapor retarders were originally intended to prevent assemblies from getting wet. However, they often prevent assemblies from drying out.
The difference between an air barrier and vapor retarder
Confusion on the issue of vapor retarder and air barriers is common. Air barriers are vapor permeable, which allows vapor to pass through. An air barrier, such as Tyvek©, is usually required per building and energy codes and is NOT a vapor retarder. When the vapor retarder is located on the exterior side of the wall, the vapor retarder will act as the air barrier and the vapor retarder.
Note: Barriers/Retarders have a Perm rating, and ratings 10 and over are considered permeable (air barrier). The higher the number, the more vapor will pass through the surface.
Where and how to install a vapor retarder
A custom plan should be developed that takes into account all building materials and systems that impact or are impacted by moisture content. Air-conditioned enclosures, below grade spaces and an exterior vapor retarder change the building conditions.
For specialty buildings, such as a pool house, sauna and refrigeration warehouse, the vapor retarder should be located based on computer analysis of the wall assembly. Why? Depending on its location in the wall, vapor retarder could trap the moisture or allow the moisture to move freely throughout the facility, which would cause extensive moisture damage of the facility.
Double vapor retarders, or vapor retarders on both sides of an assembly, should never be installed - in order to facilitate assembly drying in at least one direction.
Monitoring for early signs of moisture
The best way to control moisture in your building is to monitor the conditions proactively. How do you know if you could have a moisture problem? Look for the following signs:
Condensation on cold surfaces, such as windows and pipes.
Condensation on the top and bottom floors of a building – in attics, basements and crawl spaces.
Rust stains and corrosion on metal materials.
Warped materials, rot or cracks at the foundation, ceiling or roof line and where systems come together.
Gaps and holes in sealants.
Water spots in the roof or windows.
Leaks around plumbing and equipment/appliances, which can contribute to moisture in the air.
Inefficient ventilation and exhaust systems.
Increase in number of insects.
Damp or wrinkled paper and damage to equipment.
Visible growth or persistent odor of mold or mildew.
High level of reported asthma and health issues by building occupants.
Damage due to air leakage
What to do if you suspect you have a moisture problem
The major issues are usually caused when people fail to act.
When it comes to water, it's important to involve the experts. Identifying the season, time of the day, weather, temperature and humidity in the space will help the architect or engineer start a more thorough investigative process for the condition that you are experiencing.
The most effective action is prevention. Implementing the proper moisture controls upfront, such as installing a vapor retarder in the right location, means a higher quality building that creates the conditions for higher performance – of your building, the systems and the people who use it.
By understanding the role of protective materials and systems and how they function separately and together within a wall system, you can make smart choices that optimize the function of your facility and ensure its durability over a longer period of time. Why is this important? First, it's healthier for the building and its occupants. Second, it's cheaper to maintain and prevents costly fixes.
A mock up helps evaluate performance and ensure proper installation
At Pepper, we implement quality control measures during planning and implementation to advise you on the best solutions for your building's performance. If you have a question about your existing facility or upcoming project, please contact us. We can help.

BkiUa805qsMAIxWHCPVz | Robert Charles Berry
April 4, 1930 ~ January 16, 2019 (age 88)
Robert Charles Berry was born on April 4, 1930, to his parents, Homer McCrea
and Eva Sophronia Lanning Berry. Robert grew up in Albia, Iowa on the
family farm with his siblings John, Stan, and Florence and his first cousins,
Patricia and Kathryn.
Robert attended Reitzel Elementary School and graduated from Albia High
School in 1948. He juggled farm chores in the morning, lettered in football
and track all four years and was both homecoming and Valentine King.
Robert continued to excel at the University of Iowa, as a member of Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity and ROTC. After graduation, he was commissioned a 2nd LT in
the USAF and married his college sweetheart, Jeanine Walsh. The two had four
children: Kevin, Anne, Mark and Julie.
Robert's prestigious US Air Force career began at Lackland AFB's
Communication School and a deployment to Korea. Returning from Korea, he
was assigned to Scott and Carswell Air Force Bases, where he flew missions on
the B-36, B-52 and later, refueling missions on the KC135s.
Over the next few years, Robert trained pilots and crewmembers in the
Strategic Air Command and was subsequently assigned to the Air Command
and Staff College. Robert received many awards during his career, including
the Distinguished Flying Cross while serving during the Vietnam era.
In 1976 Robert married Virginia (Ginny) Simmons and after his retirement,
they moved to Taiwan to establish a business. They returned stateside when
Ginny became ill and she passed shortly after their return.
In 1985 Robert met Kathy Catlin. They fell in love immediately and were
married the following year. Not only did Robert get an adventurous soul mate in
Kathy, but also the love of her four children: Scott, Candy, Judy and Leslie. It
was a win/win for everyone.
Robert and Kathy spent their summers in Laguna Beach, Canaan Valley, WV
and Maggie Valley, NC. Both were avid golfers, self-proclaimed chefs, happy
hour and dinner party hosts. They enjoyed many adventures abroad to Israel,
Canada and Europe.
Robert was an active member of St. Simon's Episcopal Church; volunteering his time
and serving on many committees. He was also a member of the Brotherhood of St.
Andrews.
Robert took great pride in being a grandfather and great-grandfather and all
15 loved him dearly.
Robert loved the caring staff at Belvedere Commons and Kim, his loyal
personal assistant. They gave him joy, laughter and loved him with
their whole heart.
Robert is preceded in death by his wife, Kathy Catlin Berry and survived by his
brothers, sister, children, cousins and grandchildren.
A service to celebrate Robert's life will be held at St Simon's Episcopal Church,
Fort Walton Beach, on Feb 2, 2019 at 3pm. A reception will follow in the
parish hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to "Hunting with Soldiers", an
organization which was dear to Robert's heart. His son, Scott Catlin, a former
Vietnam vet, is actively involved in this organization and shares his family's
ranch with the participants. "Hunting with Soldiers" was created in 2007 with
the purpose of providing an outdoor hunting experience for veterans. Their
mission is to heal the wounds from PTSD and reduce veteran suicides, which
are a staggering 22 per day.
Hunting with Soldiers is a 501(C) 3, and tax deductable. Donations may be
made at www.huntingwithsolders.org or a check payable to "Hunting with
Soldiers" in memory of Robert Berry and may be sent to the address below.

BkiUd37xaJiQn-58Dfkz | Everyone wrote off Terraria as just another Minecraft clone when it was first announced, but it went on to become one of the most successful indie titles of all time. The sandbox gameplay is very reminiscent of Minecraft, but Terraria has its own charm that drew countless players to the game. It can get really addictive, and you simply can't get enough of the game even after putting in hundreds of hours into it. If you have already played this incredibly addictive game and happen to be looking for games that are similar in tone and style, then you have come to the right place. Here is the list of video games similar to Terraria that are our recommendations. You can play these games like Terraria on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC, iPhone, Android, mac or even online.
Asteria makes you feel like Terry Crews from Crackdown 3 with destructible objects in a sci-fi setting. The game is extremely fast-paced, and you can't even catch a moment's break because of its combat system. There are nine dungeons to explore and over a hundred items to collect. Unlike other old-school games that force you to work with limited inventory space, there are 900 equipment slots for all of your gear, so you can customize your loadouts whenever you want. The combat in Asteria is really engaging, and if you are tired of the pre-designed levels, you can always head to Creative Mode and design your own custom levels. Multiplayer is also available for players who want to play with their friends or random players from the community.
Spelunky is the Dark Souls of platformers, and even though speedrunners of the game can clear all of the levels in 10 minutes, the replayability is what brings players back. As soon as you enter the very first world, which resembles a jungle, you will find yourself exploring every corner of the map and before you know it, things start to get a bit too difficult. You'll get Indiana Jones vibes when playing Spelunky as you put on your adventuring hat and explore one world after the other.
Despite the game's simplistic premise, there is a steep learning curve that requires you to learn and use the right skills to progress. Worlds that initially take hours to clear become trivial as you get better at the game. The best thing about Spelunky is the exploration, and there is a certain charm to discovering secrets that stay hidden unless you put in the time to search for them. A sequel is currently in development, and the developers showcased it at GDC 2019 which looks quite promising. We can't wait to see how Derek Yu manages to recreate the magic of Spelunky one more time.
Don't Starve is one of the most visually pleasing games we have ever played and the unique gothic art style really does set it apart from the rest of the mainstream indie games out there. There is a mix of survival and RPG elements and it may take several playthroughs to get the hang of Don't Starve's mechanics. If things get a little lonely, you can always try out Don't Starve Together which turns this already incredible game into a co-op survival title. While things do get easier in co-op mode, you have to share the same resources with your friends, and it can lead to some tense moments. Just like other titles on this list, there is a lot of focus on exploration and creativity. If you start being chased by bosses, there is more than one way to deal with the tricky situation. For example, a forest boss fight can be trivialized by simply setting it on fire but doing so can cause an entire area to be burnt down.
Super Mario Maker 2 is currently in development for Nintendo Switch and is expected to release by Q2 2019. Many of us love the platforming that Terraria offers but linear levels with constricted designs do take away the replayability factor for some players. Nintendo's Super Mario Maker lets you design your own custom levels to play on. The best part is you can share your creations with other players or simply show off your level designing skills to your friends. You can create all kinds of things in-game there are hundreds of special costumes and other customization options.
The first title is available on Nintendo 3DS and Wii, in case you want to check it out. Nintendo did a great job at implementing 3D graphics, and the stylus-based inputs feel just great. One of our biggest gripes with the original title is the lack of a friends list to check out maps created by your friends, but hopefully, that will change with Super Mario Maker 2 with the implementation of Nintendo Online going live recently. If there is one thing better than enjoying a round of Super Mario, that is getting to create your own levels and having fun in them. That is exactly what Super Mario Maker 2 offers and we can't wait to try it out.
Sometimes it's the simple things in life that leave the most impact. Kirby Star Allies is one of the simplest platforming games you will ever see with its fun level design accompanied by plenty of pointers to help you find your way around the map. This is true for all previous titles from the franchise and Star Allies is no different. You hop onto new locations and make friends with other characters to join you on your quest. The level design is fantastic, and the special team-up moves look really flashy and fun to pull off. It is important to understand team compositions to make life easier as picking the most powerful units might not be the easiest way out of tricky situations. Even though longtime fans of the franchise might not be the biggest fans of Star Allies because of its simplicity, we can't blame Nintendo for trying to bring as many players to try Kirby out on Nintendo Switch for the first time.
While there are a number of contenders to fight for the crown of the best platforming game, Super Mario Odyssey is undoubtedly one of the top contenders. With over 12 million copies sold, this 3D platformer did not shy away from going wild with its mechanics. We are all used to Mario getting crazy powerups in Super Mario titles, but Nintendo really outdid themselves with Super Mario Odyssey with their level design. Each world has its own little secrets, and you need to explore and think outside the box to find the hidden moons. While playing casually will easily get you through to the ending of the game, the true ending requires a lot of work. You will need to find 500 Power Moons to access the hidden level and get to the alternate ending.
The Darker Side is one of the hardest platforming levels we have ever seen, and it tests your skill to the maximum. There is a fair bit of skill involved when it comes to Super Mario Odyssey, and the best thing about the game is that you do not need to progress through the story to unlock all skills. Everything is available to you from the start, and you only need to try things out to pull off spectacular jump maneuvers with Cappy.
Dead Cells is a rogue-like ARPG sidescroller, and while we have enough games that replicate the Dark Souls formula, this is one of the unique takes on the Souls-like genre. There are agonizingly difficult bosses and even more death screens — you will keep coming back for more! Every time you start the game, it is going to be a new learning experience, and over time, you will get the hang of it and the complex in-game systems. While going in all guns blazing might sound like a fun approach, it doesn't quite work out well for most players. You need to be methodical and manage your gear well to beat Dead Cells' toughest challenges. The rogue-like gameplay works extremely well, and you are never discouraged from retrying the game all over again. It is one of the best indie games of this generation, and a must try for platforming and ARPG fans.
The fact that Minecraft has stood the test of time for a decade and is still going strong is a testament to how fun the game is. Xbox Game Studios hit a goldmine with Minecraft because of the creative freedom that the title offers. On the one hand, you have the survival game mode that caters to players who want a challenge, and on the other hand, you have Creative Mode to bring out the artist in you. You have complete control over how you want to play the game and the satisfaction of recreating some of the most beautiful things we see in our daily lives in-game is just incredible.
There are very few games that put you in a team environment and actually make you happy. The Minecraft community also happens to be one of the friendliest, and there is no noticeable toxicity at all, despite being a multiplayer game. People of all ages come together in this 100 million strong community and have fun every single day. There are custom servers available to all players, and you can have your own rules to have fun. In custom servers, the owners get to choose all the rules, and you can re-create classic RPGs, have dance parties or anything else that you would like.
Starbound shares a lot of in common with Terraria, especially the visual design and mechanics but the procedurally generated levels add a bit of randomness and fun to the gameplay. You can spend hours building things in Starbound and not be bored because of how relaxing it is. The crafting mechanics are easy to learn, and you can build the same things in a myriad of ways and how you want to do things is completely left to you. Once you get the hang of it, you will see yourself build large colonies full of buildings with budding NPCs living in them. The better your creations are the more NPCs will move in, allowing you to make more rent.
Despite a lot of focus being placed on the crafting system, you also get to explore a quality story with plenty of depth. Even though the game can feel a little overwhelming, if you are not spending time learning all of the intricate mechanics, it is worth putting in the time to learn everything that it has to throw at you.
Portal Knights is a fresh take on Minecraft's mechanics but in a more beautiful package. Many of us have tried getting into Terraria and Minecraft but simply could not enjoy it because of the dated graphics. While it is true that the popular crafting titles are quite old, you have to understand that that's just how the aesthetics of some of the iconic titles are. Portal Knights is a modern iteration that definitely draws attention with its amazing graphics. While the crafting system remains the same as other games in Portal Knights, there is a lot of focus on combat which makes it more of an adventure game than anything else. There is some randomness attached to the loot system but if you spend time on the game, it balances itself out, and you will have fairly decent drops in your inventory.
Garry's Mod is one of the oldest sandbox games that still has an active community of gamers. It is a true sandbox game, and there is no farming involved. You can create things right away, and the sky is the limit when it comes to your creations. Players can add their own creations to the Steam Workshop to showcase their skills and share their creations with others. You can play in both online and offline mode, and multiplayer is completely optional. There is no long drawn campaign of missions that you need to worry about. All you want to do just relax and have a good time creating things. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdeg4dbghNqLlNZsw | Speedy Hire, the UK's leading provider of tools and equipment hire and services, has launched a new mobile app for customers as an extension of its digital strategy. The app makes it easier for customers to do business with Speedy by enabling them to complete a full end-to-end transaction from their mobile device. Customers are now able to view products and pricing, find a depot, hire and buy products for collection or delivery, as well as off-hiring equipment in a single click, thereby saving time and money.
The app, downloadable from the Apple App Store or Google Play, enables customers to review which products are available for immediate collection from depots in their area, or alternatively order them to be delivered to their location. In addition, customers can create shortlists of frequently hired or bought items.
Speedy's industry leading service promise, Capital Commitment, where same day delivery is guaranteed on selected products if ordered by 3pm (or within 4 hours if within the M25) through same day click and deliver is also available on the app. Customers qualify for one week's free hire if Speedy fails to deliver in the stated time.
Russell Down, Chief Executive, Speedy Hire, said: "Our app was developed in response to customer feedback and we have aligned our approach to the growing requirement for immediate online access to our tools, equipment and supporting services. The app improves our service to customers and meets the growing demand for instant processing of orders and transactions. The launch of this app means that customers are now able to access our products from the palm of their hand".
"The new app is one of a range of channels through which our customers can interact with us," adds Down. "Of course, customers are still able to call and discuss options and order products and services over the phone, or visit a depot and interact with our staff face to face. However the addition of a fully functioning mobile app allows customers choice over when and how they engage with Speedy, whilst still benefiting from our service promise".
As part of the launch, Speedy are donating 1% of every digital transaction undertaken through the app for a limited period to their charity partners; WellChild and the Lighthouse Club.
The new mobile app complements Speedy's existing digital offering which enables customers to transact online via their website. The launch is hot on the heels of the company's recent online delivery tracker which offers customers who sign up for delivery and collection text notifications, a tracker link in their 'On Way' text. This opens up a web page and a map detailing the location of the Speedy van, the customer's site, driver details and delivery status, allowing customers' to be better informed and improve work scheduling. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Read through the eBook Guide to get an idea of the nutrition plan for the next 6 weeks. You will see a general outline of calories. This is to give you an idea of general portion sizes (for weight loss!) but there is no need to count calories on this program!
Go to the grocery store/farmers market and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, organic meats, nuts and yogurt. Try to stick to whole foods as much as possible. Low or no fat dairy options are often highly processed, so full fat, in small portions, is best. For any packaged foods, read your labels and don't buy anything with high fructose corn syrup, food dyes or any types of coloring even if it's called "natural." Make sure you recognize the ingredients as foods, not just a list of chemicals and preservatives and check that sugar isn't one of the first few ingredients in items you wouldn't expect added sugar (for example: breads, crackers, yogurt (just choose plain and add some honey!), salad dressings, etc.). The key to success is taking just a little time to prepare. Prepare your snacks and have an idea of where your meals will be coming from so you don't end up hangry and stuffing whatever is nearest into your face. I have a bunch of great recipes and ideas in my Pinterest boards and in this blog post.

BkiUdmQ5qg5A6DwoMoJh | Global Spa Roundup: Mayflower Inn and Spa
By Maria Ricapito
The __ Mayflower Inn and Spa__ is like a bi-coastal friend—half Connecticut Yankee and half expansive, sunny West Coaster. The inn, located on 68 acres in Washington, Connecticut (about an hour-and-a-half drive from New York City), encompasses both manicured gardens and the wilds of the Steep Rock Preserve and Shepaug River. The main lodgings are in a clapboard building that's all cozy fireplaces and country-estate chic—but with a not-frumpy five-diamond/five-star rating. The 20,000-square-foot spa (opened in 2006) is where the Pacific style comes in. The spacious Garden Room is a symphony of whites—huge, downy chaises, a marble fireplace, and art-glass sculptures glowing in the light.
As tempting as it is to spend the entire day gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows contemplating the pond (stocked with trout and bass should you want a fly-fishing lesson), you'll want to make your way down to the luxurious but understated treatment rooms at some point. And don't miss the Palladian-looking indoor pool, which has glass tiles and a delicate mural of a nearby marsh; the sauna room, designed in a Moroccan style; or the steam rooms, which are located in each changing area. The Mayflower offers seasonal workouts (kayaking, snowshoeing, hiking, archery, tennis, biking, horseback riding, and rock climbing), an on-site putting green (with nearby golfing opportunities), and, of course, the requisite yoga and jazz-hands-y dance classes.
Listed under the heading "Soul-Enhancing Rituals" on the spa menu, the 90-minute Hammam body treatment ($250) lives up to its promise. You are variously scrubbed, steamed, massaged, and lotioned in a spacious room complete with soaking tub and steam showers. Using Red Flower products, the Far Eastern–inspired treatment combines the scents of jasmine, bergamot, orange blossom, and clove—and renders you a puddle of (glowing, smooth-skinned) jelly.
Speaking of food, the spa restaurant serves delicious salads and desserts that will trick you into forgetting you're being healthy. And if you crave hearty bone-in filet mignon or line-caught East Coast halibut, try the pretty main dining room, overlooking a terrace. Treat this property like a resort that just happens to have a full-on spa, or think of it as a destination spa and never once take off your cushy terry robe.
Mayflower Inn and Spa is located at 118 Woodbury Road, Route 47, Washington, Connecticut; (860) 868-9466.

BkiUdfQ5qoaAwdii6e1z | The National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) is a welfare programme being administered by the Ministry of Rural Development. This programme is being implemented in rural areas as well as urban areas. NSAP represents a significant step towards the fulfilment of the Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in the Constitution of India which enjoin upon the State to undertake within its means a number of welfare measures. These are intended to secure for the citizens adequate means of livelihood, raise the standard of living, improve public health, provide free and compulsory education for children etc. In particular, Article 41 of the Constitution of India directs the State to provide public assistance to its citizens in case of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement and in other cases of undeserved want within the limit of its economic capacity and development. It is in accordance with these noble principles that the Government of India on 15th August 1995 included the National Social Assistance Programme in the Central Budget for 199596. The Prime Minister in his broadcast to the Nation on 28th July 1995 announced that the programme will come into effect from 15th August 1995. Accordingly the Govt. of India launched NSAP as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme w.e.f 15th August 1995 towards fulfilment of these principles.
The National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) then comprised of National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS), National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS) and National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS). These programmes were meant for providing social assistance benefit to the aged, the BPL households in the case of death of the primary breadwinner and for maternity. These programmes were aimed to ensure minimum national standards in addition to the benefits that the States were then providing or would provide in future.
The scale of benefit and eligibility for various schemes of NSAP when first started were as follows:
National Old Age Pension Scheme (NOAPS): Rs 75 per month is provided per beneficiary for destitute above 65 years. The scheme covered destitute having little or no regular means of subsistence from his / her own sources of income or through financial support from family members or other sources. In order to determine destitution, the criteria, if any, currently in force in the State / UT Governments were adapted. The Government of India reserved the right to review these criteria and suggest appropriate revised criteria. National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS): A grant of Rs 5000 in case of death due to natural causes and Rs 10,000 in case of accidental death of the ?primary breadwinner? is provided to the bereaved household under this scheme. The primary breadwinner as specified in the scheme, whether male or female, had to be a member of the household whose earning contributed substantially to the total household income. The death of such a primary breadwinner occurring whilst he or she is in the age group of 18 to 64 years i.e., more than 18 years of age and less than 65 years of age, makes the family eligible to receive grants under the scheme. National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS): Under the scheme, Rs 300 per pregnancy upto the first two live births is provided. The beneficiary should belong to a household Below the Poverty Line (BPL) according to the criteria prescribed by Government of India. In 1998, the amount of benefit under NFBS was raised to Rs 10,000 in case of death due to natural causes as well as accidental causes. The assistance under the National Maternity Benefit Scheme which was at Rs 300/-, was increased to Rs 500/- per pregnancy.

Viral Vaccines
Last Updated on Mon, 21 Oct 2013 | Cell Culture
Studies with influenza A and paramyxovirus indicated that immunoprophylaxis requires the generation of an immune response to viral proteins that will protect individuals on exposure to the infecting virus. The proteins inducing such a response are termed 'protective antigens' and, in the main, are represented by surface-located glycoproteins in enveloped viruses and capsid proteins in non-enveloped viruses (Epstein et al. 1993; Tao et al. 2000). Some non-structural proteins have also been found to be protective, such as the NS1 protein of dengue, T antigen of SV40 and Tat and Nef of HIV-1. Currently (2006), 16 viruses are covered by licensed vaccines in the United States. These protect against adenovirus, hepatitis A and B, influenza A and B, Japanese encephalitis virus, measles, mumps, papillomavirus, poliovirus, rabies, rotavirus, rubella, smallpox, varicella and yellow fever.
In general, although MHC Class I-restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) have a major role in detecting and destroying virus-infected cells, the principal mediator of resistance to infection is by antibody, with the assistance of MHC Class II-restricted CD4+ helper T-cells (TH). Most of the vaccines listed above work by inducing circulating low-titre antibody against blood-borne or blood-distributed viruses such as hepatitis A and B (HAV/HBV), measles, polio, rubella, smallpox and varicella (VZV). Live vaccines induce both humoral and CTL responses, whereas peptide, inactivated or subunit vaccines are generally poor inducers of cell-mediated responses and, in the case of subunits, may require the addition of adjuvants to induce the required humoral response. At present, only two vaccines, one against hepatitis B and the other against human papillomavirus, are manufactured using recombinant DNA. The remainder of this section summarizes the current efforts being made to produce new recombinant vaccines.

BkiUcy04eIXhsP2jpIqd | On Palm Sunday, April 13, 2014, in an unscripted, extremely moving, Ignatian-style homily, Pope Francis invited the crowd of over 100,000 people to enter into today's passion story from Matthew's Gospel and ask some very personal questions of our own roles in the Gospel story.
We have also heard another name: Judas. Thirty pieces of silver. Am I like Judas? We have heard other names too: the disciples who understand nothing, who fell asleep while the Lord was suffering. Has my life fallen asleep? Or am I like the disciples, who did not realize what it was to betray Jesus? Or like that other disciple, who wanted to settle everything with a sword? Am I like them? Am I like Judas, who feigns love and then kisses the Master in order to hand him over, to betray him? Am I a traitor? Am I like those people in power who hastily summon a tribunal and seek false witnesses: am I like them? And when I do these things, if I do them, do I think that in this way I am saving the people?
Am I like those leaders who went the next day to Pilate and said, "Look, this man said that he was going to rise again. We cannot let another fraud take place!" and who block life, who block the tomb, in order to maintain doctrine, lest life come forth?
After Communion, Pope Francis delivered his Angelus address, during which he extended a special greeting to the participants of the World Youth Days (WYD) organized by the Pontifical Council for the Laity.
He also announced that St. John Paul II would be the patron of the next World Youth Day in Krakow. Then a delegation of young people from Brazil handed to a delegation of youth from Poland the WYD Cross, which had stood in Saint Peter's Square throughout the Mass. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUekbxK7IAGCrm8TCg | Q: Can class use mix-ins pattern when using MobX? For example, using mix-ins to extends multiple utility classes, like this:
import { autorun, makeObservable } from "mobx";
type GConstructor<T = {}> = new (...args: any[]) => T;
interface HasLife {
grow: () => void;
}
class Animal {
age: number;
constructor(age: number) {
this.age = age;
}
}
function addLife<TBase extends GConstructor<Animal>>(Base: TBase) {
return class Jumpable extends Base {
// this is wrong, mixins class cannot use constructor!
constructor() {
super();
makeObservable(this, {
age: observable,
grow: action,
});
}
grow() {
this.age++;
}
};
}
class Dog extends addLife(Animal) implements HasLife {
constructor(age: number) {
super(age);
}
}
const dog = new Dog(0);
autorun(() => {
console.log(dog.age);
});
dog.grow();
The example I provided cannot run correctly because mixin classes cannot have constructors, but I would also like to mark the member methods as observable or action in the mixin classes.
What should I do?
or, What is the common approach within the mobx community for dealing with this problem using other methods?

Living with bipolar disorder is an ongoing life struggle, but Victoria Maxwell has turned her personal story into art.
Maxwell, now 43, of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1992. "It probably took five or six years for me to come to terms [with] the diagnosis and the fact that I had a mental illness," she says.
Originally trained as an actor, Maxwell later trained as a mental health worker and ended up writing three one-person plays about coping with bipolar disorder — Crazy For Life; Funny, You Don't Look Crazy; and a third as-yet unnamed play scheduled to premiere in October 2010.
"I have been presenting my plays at health conferences, to give people insight into what it's like to live with bipolar disorder," Maxwell says. "I never thought I would get back into acting. It just happened to work out that the skills I've been trained in are an advantage to what I've been trained to do."
Living With Bipolar Disorder: Before the Diagnosis
Prior to her diagnosis, Maxwell had been going through severe depressive episodes. She was oversleeping, wrestling with fatigue and hopelessness, and binge eating. Following a meditation retreat, Maxwell experienced a mood swing into mania. She began thinking and speaking very quickly, having odd thoughts and delusions, getting very little sleep, and becoming very promiscuous.
Her manic swing ended in a full-fledged psychosis. "It was so vivid. I really thought I was supposed to meet God," she says. In the grip of the psychotic episode, Maxwell stripped off her clothes and ran down the street naked.
"I was lucky, I guess, that I did it in a very safe neighborhood, but I was caught by police and taken to the hospital," she remembers. "Obviously, that was a very big wake-up call." Maxwell's first reaction to her diagnosis was denial. "I didn't really agree with the doctors. I just felt it had to be something else other than mental illness."
Her family recognized and accepted her bipolar disorder years before she was willing to. "My mom was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 8 or 9 and she got treatment," Maxwell explains. "Their acceptance of it did not necessarily help me out. [But] they did everything they could to help me see what I was going through."
Part of that support involved inviting her to come back home to live while she dealt with her bipolar disorder. "It meant I had a stable place to stay," she says. "It was a safe place that wasn't around drugs or alcohol. They gave me some parameters — they set some good boundaries for me, and I didn't walk all over them."
Maxwell's bipolar disorder also helped her discover who her true friends were. "I had some friends stay and support me, a couple of friends in particular. I burned a lot of bridges and lost friends," she recalls. "I was doing very odd and unusual behaviors that I think could make people uncomfortable, and they didn't know what to do."
Getting the Right Bipolar Treatment
Before she got serious about her treatment, Maxwell flirted with alternative therapies. "I tried a lot of different things," she says, including Reiki and taking St. John's wort and valerian. "None of the alternative stuff was able to take root, so the things I tried didn't work. They didn't seem strong enough to affect long-term change. But to be honest, I didn't give it a fair shot."
Coping with bipolar disorder is an ongoing challenge for Maxwell. "My energy level still fluctuates a lot," she says. "There are times when I may only be able to work for only two hours or four hours. The benefit of being self-employed is that I can set my own hours."
Maxwell's husband also provides invaluable support. "He's quite good at checking in with me," she says. "What happens often is when I'm working I end up getting carried away with work. He'll sort of tap me on the shoulder and say, 'You didn't go to bed until 11:30 or midnight and then you got up at 6.' I'll say, 'Yeah, I need a nap, I need to go to bed early.'"
Maxwell currently takes a mood-stabilizing, anti-epileptic drug as well as an antidepressant. She also sees a psychiatrist for cognitive-behavioral therapy and talk therapy and finds that regular physical activity helps, explaining that exercise has become a big part of coping with bipolar disorder. "I run — I'm not an excessive exerciser, but I run two to three times a week. That's something that has helped me manage my mood," Maxwell says.
Maxwell hasn't needed to try any of the newer treatments for bipolar disorder, but she expects that might change in the near future. "I anticipate that as I get closer to menopause, I will need to be more vigilant," she says.
She is concerned that those who need to take medication might be misunderstood or looked at as different by the general population, rather than supported for their commitment to getting treatment. "I think sometimes people are worried about what medication can do," Maxwell says. "Just because we have a mental illness doesn't mean we're violent and doesn't mean we're unpredictable. Lots of people are good workers, dedicated to managing their illness. You don't know about it because they're managing it well, and they are as reliable as anybody else. It's possible to have a really enjoyable life, a good quality of life, even when you have to manage a mental illness."

BkiUfnA5qhDCnXuZvZjH | Free-roaming, Abandoned, and Feral Cats - Position Statement
The CVMA encourages and supports initiatives to address the issues associated with free-roaming, abandoned, and feral cats—to reduce feral cat numbers, improve the welfare of the cats themselves, and address public health risks. The CVMA recognizes that well-managed trap, neuter, and return (TNR) programs are an important strategy in the management of feral and abandoned free-roaming cats. Managed cat colonies should not be located in wildlife refuges or breeding areas, near habitats of threatened or endangered species, or in other ecologically sensitive areas. The CVMA encourages continued research into the dynamics of feral cat populations and TNR programs.
"Free-roaming cats" include neighbourhood or community-owned cats, barn cats, strays which were recently owned but are now lost, missing, or abandoned, and feral cats. Feral cats are defined as those cats that are not sufficiently socialized to be handled by humans and therefore are unsuitable for living in a home environment.
Community-wide initiatives are needed to address the issue of free-roaming cats (1). Such initiatives should include programs which decrease the overall cat population such as community subsidized spay/neuter and TNR programs; culturally sensitive public education on responsible cat ownership; information about trustworthy sources for obtaining cats; and promotion of identification of cats to increase the percentage of strays returned to their owners. Capture and humane euthanasia may be necessary to preclude suffering (e.g., individual ill cats, or populations in harsh or remote areas where the feed source is removed, such as closure of a landfill site).
Both permanent and visible identification of cats should be encouraged. The CVMA recommends electronic implants using the International Standards Organization (ISO) standard microchip technology (2). The use of breakaway collars with identification tags including registered rabies tags will provide visible identification.
The overall goals are fewer free-roaming cats, better health for such cats, and improved return rates of owned cats. Sterilization through TNR reduces fighting and associated injuries and disease, as well as roaming and noise.
TNR programs include, at a minimum, humane trapping, sterilization, vaccination against rabies, and identification of cats by ear tipping or tattoo. Many programs include broader vaccination protocols and treatment against parasites. Signs of success include colony stabilization and an ongoing decline in cat numbers, especially of kittens. Colonies do best with an ongoing caretaker.
Some TNR programs include FeLV/FIV testing and euthanasia of cats that test positive. However, positive test results for individual cats should be interpreted with caution as the positive predictive value (ability to correctly identify true positives) decreases substantially with lower disease prevalence (3). In populations with a low prevalence of disease, euthanasia may be recommended for those cats that both demonstrate clinical signs of the diseases and test positive, whereas in populations with a high prevalence of disease, euthanasia of all cats that test positive is a sound approach.
Studies show that a decrease in cat numbers will be achieved most effectively by an emphasis on spaying juvenile females younger than one year; adopting out young kittens, tame cats, and older cats that have become more sociable over time; and targeting populations in which cats can be neutered at a high rate (4-6). It is more effective to neuter all cats in individual populations, i.e., one colony at a time, than to neuter a few cats from many separate populations. The resultant smaller colonies are easier to manage and less costly to maintain, which means sterilization can be kept at high levels.
Historically, rabies control programs have removed and euthanized free-roaming animals and vaccinated owned animals. Such trap and eradicate policies result in a constantly multiplying supply of unvaccinated animals, while the result of TNR programmes is that more free-roaming animals will be protected against rabies (i.e., "herd immunity") (7). This reduces the opportunity for an outbreak to become established, which helps to protect the health of owned animals and humans.
The interactions of cats with native and introduced wildlife species are complex (8-10). Cats represent only one of many pressures on wildlife, with the primary pressures generally coming from human modification of the environment. It is important to recognize that urban and suburban settings, parks and islands are not the same, with each location having a distinct set of challenges.

BkiUdV44eIXhtfm3POFC | La féminisation des noms de métiers est une politique linguistique visant à faire évoluer les substantifs désignant des métiers vers des formes féminisées de façon à rendre plus visible le rôle des femmes dans la vie publique et professionnelle.
En français, la plupart des noms de métier traditionnellement masculins soit ne disposent pas d'une forme féminine, soit ont des formes féminines anciennes tombées en désuétude. La construction de cette féminisation est par ailleurs encore hésitante pour certains mots en -eur pour lesquels il n'existe pas de consensus quant à leur féminisation.
On distingue, d'une part la féminisation de la terminologie, ou création de termes désignant au féminin des métiers, titres, grades et fonctions, et d'autre part la féminisation des textes, ou techniques d'introduction explicite des marques du féminin lors de la rédaction de textes (notes de service, articles de journal).
Présentation
En français, tous les substantifs (les noms) ont un genre grammatical, qu'ils désignent un être sexué ou non, et il n'existe pas de forme grammaticale spécifique pour le neutre. Le genre d'un nom est censé être un attribut arbitraire du mot, il impose un accord des adjectifs et des pronoms qui se rapportent à lui. Exemple : une chenille mâle, un colibri femelle. Cependant, les substantifs qui désignent un être animé dans son aspect sexué ont un genre qui correspond toujours au sexe. Par exemple en français, « fille » est féminin et « garçon » masculin, « brebis » est féminin et « bélier » masculin. De là, la représentation de l'opposition des genres masculin-féminin comme renvoyant à la répartition des sexes. Dans les langues indo-européennes, dont le français est une branche, les plus anciennes n'avaient que deux genres : l'un pour les substantifs désignant des êtres animés (qui est devenu le masculin), et un genre pour désigner les choses inanimées (devenu neutre). Le neutre n'est donc pas issu de la fusion de deux genres masculin et féminin préexistants dans la langue, il est le genre des choses inanimées, donc asexuées. L'origine du genre féminin donne lieu à deux hypothèses, celle selon laquelle le genre féminin serait issu d'un dédoublement du genre animé pour distinguer les êtres selon leur sexe ; l'autre, émise par le linguiste Jean Haudry, partant d'une hypothèse formulée depuis 1889 par Johannes Schmidt et de la découverte récente de la langue hittite, retrouve que le féminin est un dédoublement du genre neutre à partir de ses formes plurielles désignant un collectif d'objets identiques, et, à partir de là, une qualité générale abstraite qui leur est commune. Ce troisième genre, formé comme l'avait remarquée Antoine Meillet sur la morphologie du neutre-pluriel, a été assigné aux noms des catégories abstraites communes à ces choses (force/faiblesse, clarté/obscurité, grandeur, beauté, fécondité, divinité, prudence, etc.), parmi lesquelles la féminité qui a fait de ce troisième mode un genre des choses spirituelles, analogues au féminin. Ce serait donc pour une raison historique très ancienne que le masculin est en français le genre non marqué sexuellement. Mais cette hypothèse est très discutée, comme l'indique la linguiste Silva Luraghi.
. Dans une émission d'Apostrophes, fit remarquer qu'on disait le soleil (chaud, rassurant) et la lune (froide, inquiétante). Bernard Pivot lui demanda alors comment elle expliquait qu'en allemand on dise la soleil (die Sonne) et le lune (der Mond). L'association analogique du couple d'opposition homme/femme à d'autres couples d'opposition d'objets ou de notions représentant des valeurs pour former analogiquement des chaines axiologiques (du type homme/femme :: soleil/lune :: dehors/dedans :: clair/obscur :: sec/humide, etc.) est bien une réalité qui a été observée dans les sociétés traditionnelles, mais elle est indépendante du genre grammatical qui est donné aux mots dans une langue.
Dans la langue anglaise, les genres sont plus discrets. Si on considère comme le fait Corbett que les genres s'expriment à travers l'accord, notamment avec les pronoms, l'anglais à trois genres : masculin he, féminin she et neutre it. La plupart des mots d'animaux et d'inanimés sont de genre neutre, sauf exception ().
Aux yeux des partisans de la féminisation, l'invisibilisation des femmes dans le discours est lourde de conséquences sur le plan social. Toutes les féministes ne sont pas partisanes de la féminisation des noms, la philosophe et écrivaine féministe Monique Wittig essaye plutôt de . Et Claire Michard, linguiste et féministe matérialiste, écrit dans un article :
Pour l'Académie française, le masculin tient lieu de genre neutre (« un professeur » peut désigner indifféremment un homme ou une femme), au pluriel ce serait toujours le genre d'un groupe constitué d'individus des deux sexes. Au contraire, pour des linguistes comme la grammairienne Anne Abeillé, .
Cependant, cette règle grammaticale a été perçue par des chercheuses féministes comme occultant le rôle des femmes sur la scène publique et pouvant notamment produire des résistances psychologiques à l'acceptation de femmes à certains postes. La question du genre des mots désignant les êtres humains dans leur statut ou leurs activités professionnelles n'est donc pas simplement une question formelle de grammaire, mais une question de sociolinguistique intimement liée aux images qu'une société se fait des relations entre sexes, et pouvant même influer sur ces relations.
Dans le système conjugal des anciens Celtes avec son régime dotal que l'Église a conservé et qui a été repris pour faire le mariage du Code civil, la femme qui se marie est considérée comme quittant la famille de ses parents en emportant sa part héréditaire dans le patrimoine, pour entrer dans la famille de son mari dont elle prend alors le nom, ainsi que la condition professionnelle, avec un nom féminisé, et cela quel que soit le milieu social. Ainsi, « l'épouse du fermier » s'appelle « la fermière », comme celle du roi s'appelle « la reine », titre qui n'est pas purement honorifique mais correspond à l'exercice conjugal du métier, avec un versant masculin et un versant féminin : le boulanger travaillant par exemple au four et la boulangère dans la boutique. Et si « orfèvresse » est l'ancien féminin conjugal d'orfèvre, le cas d'orfèvresses veuves se faisait insculper un poinçon à leur nom de veuve (parfois même leur nom patronymique) et reprenant l'activité de leur défunt mari est bien documenté.
On remarque que les emplois anciennement masculins qui sont occupés par des femmes reçoivent un nom féminisé qui est souvent repris de l'ancien féminin conjugal désignant l'épouse ou la veuve de l'homme occupant la fonction (par exemple « la préfète » ou « l'ambassadrice » pour l'épouse du préfet ou de l'ambassadeur, « la reine » pour l'épouse du roi, « la générale » pour « l'épouse du général », etc.). Mais au , où les féminins conjugaux étaient courants, la sœur converse qui faisait le pain était la « boulangère » ; au les sœurs qui tiennent un service pharmaceutique sont les « pharmaciennes » et au , lorsque Renée du Bec, maréchale de Guébriant, fut chargée de mener au roi de Pologne la princesse Louise-Marie de Gonzague, qu'il avait épousée à Paris par procureur, elle fut nommée « ambassadrice extraordinaire ».
Le Grand Dictionnaire universel du cite un emploi, qualifié de « familier », de ce féminin conjugal pour désigner une « maîtresse d'étudiant » à partir d'un texte dans lequel Théophile Gauthier rapporte que les grisettes du Quartier latin sont appelées étudiantes, bien qu'elles ne fassent aucune étude :
Certains pays dans la zone de la francophonie comme la Suisse n'utilisent pas le terme de « féminisation » mais d'utilisation d'un langage épicène (neutre du point de vue du genre). Il est en effet considéré que le but n'est pas tant la « féminisation » que la neutralité, et que l'utilisation systématique du masculin générique constitue un frein à l'objectif d'égalité des chances qui est un droit inscrit dans la loi :
En 2002, l'Académie française considérait que la féminisation pouvait introduire un déséquilibre dans les structures mêmes de la langue et rendre malaisée la formulation des phrases les plus simples. La récente féminisation de certains noms existant déjà dans la langue française au genre féminin, par exemple « chercheure » pour « chercheuse » ou « instituteure » pour « institutrice », montre également que la modification de la grammaire française pour des motifs idéologiques avec l'introduction de ce qui sont des néologismes pour les uns, des barbarismes pour les autres, touche à des problématiques fondamentales et dépassant l'argutie linguistique. La controverse divise parfois les Français et les Québécois.
À propos des titres professionnels désignant des fonctions de femmes, l'historienne Éliane Viennot préconise d'utiliser les formes où le genre féminin est audible. Elle prône par exemple l'emploi du terme « professeuse » plutôt que « professeure », estimant que le -e final ne s'entend pas à l'oral. L'artiste Typhaine D quant à elle emploie le mot autrice, en rendant « femmage » (équivalent féminisé du terme « hommage » quand il est destiné à une femme) à la chercheuse Aurore Évain dans sa pièce de théâtre Contes à rebours.
À l'inverse, d'autres dénoncent le sexisme inhérent à la langue qui . C'est ainsi que des féminisations comme « Doctoresse », en vigueur par le passé, ont été rejetées dans les années 1980 pour affirmer linguistiquement l'égalité professionnelle entre les sexes. Mais les femmes ne sont pas pour autant invisibilisées ; toute la force de la féminisation résidant dans l'article féminin : la maire, la professeure, une mannequin
Historique
Dans la langue française, il n'existe que deux genres : masculin et féminin. Ainsi, on utilise le masculin, sauf si tous les objets sont de genre féminin. D'autre part, contrairement à d'autres langues comme l'anglais, tous les substantifs ont un genre, qu'il s'agisse d'êtres sexués ou de choses asexuées. Comme pour le pluriel, la morphologie d'un mot féminin est en général celle du mot masculin augmenté à la fin d'une ou plusieurs lettres, en particulier un -e, avec redoublement de la consonne antérieure, créant ainsi une syllabe supplémentaire qui s'entend.
Au Moyen Âge, l'usage est d'employer systématiquement des formes masculines et féminines. Ainsi on trouvera dans le Mesnagier de Paris (qui est un ouvrage d'économie domestique qu'on ne peut taxer d'un parti pris en faveur de l'émancipation des femmes) en 1393 les termes suivants : (), ().
Au , dans des registres de paie des cathédrales, on trouve des femmes employées avec des fonctions féminisées comme mortellière pour celle qui gâchait du mortier.
Le Registre de la taille parisienne pour l'année 1292, étudié par Hercule Géraud en 1837, comporte de nombreux noms féminins de profession. On y relève :
Au on trouve des féminisations qui ont disparu par la suite, comme apprentise pour les filles en apprentissage.
Sur le plan du genre des noms de fonction, en 1607, publie sa Grammaire Françoise contenant règles très certaines dans laquelle il énonce : (). Antoine Oudin reprend plus tard la règle, qui est largement appliquée, mais avec des exception puisqu'une sentinelle, une estafette, une vigie, désignent des soldats qui ont longtemps été exclusivement des hommes.
Avec la féminisation dans l'administration publique d'emplois qui étaient toujours tenus par des hommes, on a distingué le nom de la fonction qui est une chose permanente et impersonnelle, indépendante du sexe, de la personne sexuée qui l'occupe à un moment donné, afin de conserver aux actes la même forme de signature : « Le préfet du Calvados » ou « Marie Dupont, préfet du Calvados », « Le président du Tribunal », « Le ministre de l'Agriculture », comme il y a « La Ville de Marseille », « L'Administration des Eaux et Forêts ». Le sexe n'est alors marqué que dans la formule de civilité, ce qui donne des locutions comme « Madame le secrétaire général », « Madame le ministre », « Madame le gouverneur »).
L'Académie française désigne le masculin comme genre « non marqué » ou « neutre ».
En 1899, la féministe Hubertine Auclert déclarait : « L'omission du féminin dans le dictionnaire contribue plus qu'on ne le croit à l'omission du féminin dans le droit. L'émancipation par le langage ne doit pas être dédaignée ».
C'est cette dernière situation qui est dénoncée à partir des années 1960 par les mouvements féministes en Amérique d'abord, puis en Europe, à un moment où la morphologie sociale s'est largement remodelée, les femmes étant désormais plus nombreuses à occuper des postes à responsabilités. Ces mouvements pensent que les étiquettes masculines occultent ces réalités nouvelles et qu'elles font par conséquent peser une hypothèque sur la promotion des femmes en confortant l'idée que la qualification et le prestige sont liés à la masculinité. Dans le cadre de leurs politiques sociales, les États démocratiques ont dès lors souhaité imposer à leurs administrations l'usage d'une terminologie équitable et ont prôné des techniques non sexistes de rédaction des textes. Ce mouvement, qui affecte toutes les langues, s'observe aussi dans les grands organismes internationaux comme l'ONU, l'UNESCO et le Conseil de l'Europe.
En francophonie, c'est le Québec qui, stimulé par la proximité des États-Unis, fut le premier à intervenir : dès 1979, la Gazette officielle du Québec adressait aux administrations des recommandations visant à féminiser les noms de métiers. En France, la première initiative allant dans le même sens remonte à 1984 avec la création d'une « Commission de terminologie relative au vocabulaire concernant les activités des femmes » suivie de la publication d'une circulaire du Premier ministre Laurent Fabius en 1986. Mais un changement de majorité politique condamna cette initiative. Le mouvement reprit sous le gouvernement Jospin, ce qui donna lieu à une nouvelle circulaire en 1998. En Suisse, la Confédération n'a pas formellement légiféré mais elle a donné des instructions pour l'adoption de dénominations non discriminantes. En Belgique francophone, un décret de 1993 étudié par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française impose la féminisation aux administrations de la Communauté et aux institutions qu'elle subventionne.
La féminisation s'est implantée rapidement dans le grand public québécois et canadien touchant à la fois la terminologie (notamment grâce à l'utilisation très large du féminin en « –eure » autrefois très rare ), mais aussi la rédaction des textes. En Suisse, et dans une moindre mesure en Belgique, la féminisation terminologique s'est largement répandue quoique moins spectaculairement. C'est sans doute en France qu'elle s'impose avec le moins de vigueur : les controverses y ont été plus vives et les résistances plus fortes. Mais ces dernières se sont manifestées ailleurs encore, notamment en Belgique et en Suisse où certains ont parfois exprimée l'idée que le droit d'initiative en matière de langue était un monopole français.
Ces différences dans les pratiques « féminisantes » ne sont pas que nationales : on peut aussi les corréler avec la sensibilité politique des parties prenantes autant qu'avec des phénomènes proprement linguistiques ; et certaines réticences ont pu être le fait de féministes militantes, désireuses d'affirmer l'identité de leur travail avec celui des hommes. En dépit de ces différences de rythme, le mouvement de féminisation est, dans toute la francophonie, profond et rapide eu égard à la lenteur habituelle des innovations linguistiques.
Belgique
Le décret pris en 1993 par la Communauté française de Belgique fut étudié par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, alors sous la présidence du professeur Jean-Marie Klinkenberg. La Communauté française de Belgique a publié à l'intention du grand public un « Guide de féminisation », qui connut en 2014 une troisième édition remise à jour.
France
Le gouvernement français intervient pour la première fois afin de modifier le processus d'évolution de la langue française avec la volonté de renforcer le rôle des femmes dans la vie publique et de permettre aux femmes d'accéder plus facilement à des fonctions jusqu'alors réservées de fait aux hommes. Il crée en 1984 une « Commission de féminisation des noms de métier et de fonction » présidée par Benoîte Groult.
La Circulaire du 11 mars 1986 relative à la féminisation des noms de métiers, grades et titres publiée par Laurent Fabius, Premier ministre, constatant l'accès de femmes à de nombreux métiers, demande aux différentes administrations publiques « de traduire cette évolution dans le vocabulaire », en particulier dans leur correspondance et dans les différents documents qu'elles produisent. À cet effet, il est recommandé d'utiliser le rapport de la Commission de féminisation des noms de métier et de fonction créée en 1984 par Yvette Roudy, ministre des Droits de la femme, et présidée par Benoîte Groult, intitulé Règles de féminisation des noms de métiers, grades ou titres, donné en annexe de la circulaire. Il y est remarqué deux fois que le suffixe féminin « -esse » n'est plus utilisé en français moderne car désuet (en donnant comme exemple de désuétude poétesse, ce qui est contestable car cela ignore des formes courantes comme maîtresse d'école, de conférence ou de recherche mais fait allusion au fait que la terminaison en « -esse » était censée désigner l'épouse d'un personnage exerçant une fonction : par exemple, la notairesse comme femme du notaire) et il est recommandé pour les noms masculins terminés en « -teur » de les féminiser en « -teuse » si le « t appartient au verbe de base », et en « -trice » si le « t n'apparient pas au verbe de base », mais lorsque la forme « -trice » n'est pas aujourd'hui acceptée, il est conseillé d'employer un féminin identique au masculin, par exemple une auteur.
L'Académie française proteste contre cette initiative gouvernementale, qui usurpe selon elle sa compétence et qu'elle juge arbitraire. D'autre part, la doctrine de l'Académie a toujours été de recueillir l'usage établi, mais pas de le faire changer.
Une autre Circulaire du 6 mars 1998 relative à la féminisation des noms de métier, fonction, grade ou titre, publiée par Lionel Jospin, Premier ministre, constate que la précédente circulaire, bien que n'ayant pas été appliquée par les administrations, n'a pas été abrogée, et décide , et charge la Commission de terminologie et de néologie déjà existante d'étudier la question et à l'Institut national de la langue française d'établir pour les usagers un guide qui a été publié l'année suivante à la La Documentation française. En attendant sa sortie, il recommande à toutes les administrations de recourir aux appellations féminines, dès lors qu'il existe déjà des formes féminines d'usage courant, par exemple directrice ou conseillère. Cette préconisation a eu pour effet d'introduire puis de systématiser le redoublement des appellations au masculin puis au féminin, notamment dans les annonces d'offres d'emploi et elle aboutira à l'écriture inclusive.
Lionel Jospin préface le Guide d'aide à la féminisation des noms de métiers, titres, grades et fonctions, publié sous la responsabilité du professeur Bernard Cerquiglini, linguiste alors vice-président du Conseil supérieur de la langue française. Ce guide contient une liste de métiers, titres, grades et fonctions qui indique quel nom utiliser lorsque la personne concernée est une femme.
Le ministère de l'Éducation nationale française a publié le 9 mars 2002 une circulaire particulière relative à la féminisation des noms de métiers, fonctions, grades ou titres, de même que celui du Québec et de l'Ontario francophone.
En 2002, l'Académie française publie un arrêt rédigé par Georges Dumézil et Claude Lévi-Strauss, qui précise que . En particulier, Maurice Druon, secrétaire perpétuel de l'Académie française de 1985 à 1999, condamne la féminisation par la publication de plusieurs articles. L'Académie souligne également que .
En 2005, une étude sur la féminisation des noms de métiers et des titres dans la presse française (1988-2001) fait apparaître un retard de féminisation pour les noms de métiers académiques tels que « professeur » ou « auteur », contrairement aux métiers appartenant au monde politique ou de l'entreprise tels que « présidente » et « députée » où le nombre d'occurrences est supérieur à 90 %. L'auteur, Itsuko Fujimura, attribue ce décalage au et en premier lieu aux objections de l'Académie française. En 2012, le ministère de la Culture se félicite de l'accélération du processus de féminisation, non seulement dans les administrations, mais aussi dans la langue courante, notamment dans les médias.
Le , dans un texte intitulé « La féminisation des noms de métiers, fonctions, grades ou titres – Mise au point de l'Académie française », l'Académie rappelle les règles qui s'imposent dans la langue française, à la suite d'un incident de séance à l'Assemblée nationale où un député, Julien Aubert, a persisté à nommer la présidente de séance « madame le président » au lieu de « madame la présidente ». L'Académie indique accepter dans son principe la forme féminine des noms de métiers et fonctions qui seraient entrée dans l'usage (se rapprochant en cela de la position que Vaugelas avait prise au ) ou qui serait expressément demandée par les personnes concernées :
(…) L'Académie française n'entend nullement rompre avec la tradition de féminisation des noms de métiers et fonctions, qui découle de l'usage même : c'est ainsi qu'elle a fait accueil dans la de son Dictionnaire (1935) à artisane et à postière, à aviatrice et à pharmacienne, à avocate, bûcheronne, factrice, compositrice, éditrice et exploratrice. Dans la , en cours de publication, figurent par dizaines des formes féminines correspondant à des noms de métiers. Ces mots sont entrés naturellement dans l'usage, sans qu'ils aient été prescrits par décret : l'Académie les a enregistrés pourvu qu'ils soient de formation correcte et que leur emploi se soit imposé.
(…) conformément à sa mission, défendant l'esprit de la langue et les règles qui président à l'enrichissement du vocabulaire, elle rejette un esprit de système qui tend à imposer, parfois contre le vœu des intéressées, des formes telles que professeure, recteure, sapeuse-pompière, auteure, ingénieure, procureure, etc., pour ne rien dire de chercheure, qui sont contraires aux règles ordinaires de dérivation et constituent de véritables barbarismes. Le français ne dispose pas d'un suffixe unique permettant de féminiser automatiquement les substantifs. S'agissant des métiers, très peu de noms s'avèrent en réalité, du point de vue morphologique, rebelles à la féminisation quand elle paraît utile. Comme bien d'autres langues, le français peut par ailleurs, quand le sexe de la personne n'est pas plus à prendre en considération que ses autres particularités individuelles, faire appel au masculin à valeur générique, ou « non marquée ».
Cependant, la Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie considère que cette indifférence juridique et politique au sexe des individus « peut s'incliner, toutefois, devant le désir légitime des individus de mettre en accord, pour les communications qui leur sont personnellement destinées, leur appellation avec leur identité propre. » Elle estime que, « s'agissant des appellations utilisées dans la vie courante (entretiens, correspondances, relations personnelles) concernant les fonctions et les grades, rien ne s'oppose, à la demande expresse des individus, à ce qu'elles soient mises en accord avec le sexe de ceux qui les portent et soient féminisées ou maintenues au masculin générique selon le cas ». La Commission générale conclut justement que « cette souplesse de l'appellation est sans incidence sur le statut du sujet juridique et devrait permettre de concilier l'aspiration à la reconnaissance de la différence avec l'impersonnalité exigée par l'égalité juridique ».
Donc, selon l'Académie française, dans la vie quotidienne (correspondances, entretiens), la féminisation des grades ou des fonctions peut avoir lieu à la demande expresse des personnes concernées.
Le , le collectif Les sans pagEs organise une conférence sur le langage épicène durant la première convention francophone wikipédienne en France.

La troisième édition du Guide de légistique (« mise à jour 2017 ») rappelle qu'il y a trois sources de référence concernant la féminisation des noms de métiers, grades ou titres à observer pour la rédaction du Journal officiel de la République française :

Le , l'Académie française approuve un rapport énonçant qu'il n'existe aucun obstacle de principe à la féminisation des noms de métiers et de professions.
Québec
Le Québec a entrepris la féminisation de tous les titres de métier, de profession et de fonction à la suite d'un avis de recommandation officielle de l'Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) publié en 1979. La féminisation s'est d'abord manifestée dans les textes administratifs et dans les conventions collectives, pour ensuite passer dans l'usage dans les journaux, puis pour finalement être adoptée par la société québécoise.

BkiUdNDxK5YsWV5L3uIw | L'arcidiocesi di Drizipara (in latino: Archidioecesis Driziparena) è una sede soppressa e sede titolare della Chiesa cattolica.
Storia
Drizipara, identificabile con Karistiran nell'odierna Turchia, è un'antica sede arcivescovile autocefala della provincia romana di Europa nella diocesi civile di Tracia e nel Patriarcato di Costantinopoli.
La città fu conquistata dagli Avari nel 591 e spesso contesa fra Bizantini ed i popoli conquistatori della Tracia. La città aveva una basilica dedicata a sant'Alessandro, che vi era stato martirizzato sotto l'imperatore Massimiano: essa fu bruciata dagli Avari che profanarono le reliquie del santo per carpirne l'argento di cui erano ricoperte.
È incerta l'epoca in cui fu eretta la diocesi, forse già nel IV secolo data l'importanza della città. Era arcidiocesi autocefala già nel VII secolo; nella Notitia Episcopatuum attribuita all'imperatore Leone VI (inizio X secolo), dove è chiamata con il nome di Mesene, occupa il 20º posto sulle 49 arcidiocesi del Patriarcato. Non è più menzionata nelle Notitiae del XV secolo.
Due soli i vescovi conosciuti di Drizipara nel primo millennio cristiano, Teodoro e Ciriaco, presenti ai concili ecumenici del 553 e del 787.
Drizipara è annoverata tra le sedi arcivescovili titolari della Chiesa cattolica; la sede è vacante dal 23 novembre 1967. La sede ha origini nel XIV secolo con il nome Missinensis, trasformatosi in Mysiensis nel XVII secolo. A partire dal XVIII secolo la sede assume il nome Drusiparena, modificato in Driziparena nel 1930.

BkiUdFg4ubng5asjoYi_ | Abducted Catholic priest released in Ukraine amid unrest
Webmaster June 2, 2014 Uncategorized
(CNA/EWTN News).- In the midst of ongoing fighting in eastern Ukraine, a Roman Catholic priest from Poland who was kidnapped May 27 by separatists in the city of Donetsk has been released.
Father Pawel Vitka says he was accused of being a spy by separatists affiliated with the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. Fr. Vitka, who works in Kazakhstan but was visiting a fellow priest in Ukraine at the time, was freed after 24 hours in captivity.
"Tuesday morning I was praying with a rosary outside the DPR administration building," Fr. Vitka told Catholic News Agency on the day of his release. "They asked to see my documents and I explained that I didn't have them on me at the moment." | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdeI5qsNCPdQKuXqO | The King of Fighters (2010)
Yes, someone actually went ahead and made a live-action The King of Fighters movie. Yes, I've seen it. Yes, it's awful.
The Good (or just okay):
Being such a fan of fighting games, I've occasionally daydreamed about how I personally would faithfully adapt them to film. The biggest hurdle has always been how to handle the tournament itself. How are the characters even supposed to survive taking on these brutal fights one after another? Without weeks of rest and medical attention between bouts stretching the tournament into a yearlong affair, what shape could the finalists even be in to present an exciting match? The King of Fighters actually provides a somewhat clever solution, having the fights take place on some sort of astral plane. That is where the characters don their wacky video game costumes and attain superhuman abilities for clashes that may take only an instant in the real world, which they then return to uninjured. (Of course, it's never explained why the tournament exists in the first place, but the movie is no more ridiculous than the games in that regard.)
(SPOILER) Rugal, played by Ray Park of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation fame, making his entrance by walking up to a security guard and, without warning or explanation, exploding the man with seemingly just his raw aura.
Rugal resorting to machine guns in the very next scene.
The Ugly:
Forty-year-old stuntman David Leitch as CIA tool Terry Bogard, who becomes, in the fight dimension, a buffoonish yet preposterously mighty Dan Hibiki-esque comic relief character.
Posted by Henry at 11:28 AM
Labels: fighting games, foolishness, gaming, movies, SNK
The best moment is when Terry Bogard, suddenly sporting the signature red vest, even though he had been in a suit the whole movie, runs into some random homeless guy wearing the red Fatal Fury cap, grabs the cap, and punches him in the face, all without any preamble or motivation.
You know, they've been doing fight tournaments in movies since Bruce Lee, maybe even before. Those guys all seem to be fine fighting several matches in a row. It's single elimination, though, and these guys don't hurl fireballs.
Yeah, but most of those movies have the heroes completely dominating scrubs in the early rounds. In a fighting game movie, all rounds should involve name characters, and nobody should have to see their favorite go out like a chump just because they're up against Ryu.
I suppose it's best to suspend disbelief in this case and just say that these guys heal very quickly.

A: You could use a capture group to keep what you want after the replacement, and match the line with NOP to be removed.
In the replacement use capture group 1.
^(.*#\/.*E(?:\r?\n(?![^\S\r\n]*NOP$).*)*)\r?\n[^\S\r\n]*NOP$
*
*^ Start of string
*( Capture group 1
*
*.*#\/.*E Match a line that contains #/ and ends on E
*(?: Non capture group
*
*\r?\n(?![^\S\r\n]*NOP$).* Match a newline, and the rest of the line if it does not start with optional spaces and NOP
*)* Close group and optionally repeat to match all lines
*) Close group 1
*\r?\n[^\S\r\n]*NOP Match a newline, optional whitespace chars without newlines and NOP
*$ End of string
See a regex demo
You might for example also make the pattern a bit more restricted to not cross matching empty lines, or lines that also contain /# and end with an E char inbetween before matching NOP:
^(.*#/.*E(?:\r?\n(?![^\S\r\n]*(?:NOP)?$|.*#/.*E$).*)*)\r?\n[^\S\r\n]*NOP$

BkiUfwHxK4sA-5Y3u3j6 | I did a happy dance when I saw that another health-related movie was trending on Netflix. I saved What The Health in my queue so I could watch it when I had time to really focus. The film received rave reviews on social media so when I crawled underneath my favorite blanket to watch it, I was excited.
I was only a few minutes into the documentary when I thought, "This is weird". But, since it was the latest 'must-see', I ignored the inner voice telling me to switch to Highway to Heaven and instead, continued to watch. I got through the comparison of eating meat to smoking cigarettes. I watched through the conversation about diabetes being caused by fat. I even got past the part where the film-maker seemed disappointed when the person who answered the phone at the American Cancer Society, presumably an administrative assistant, could not answer his complex questions about the correlation between meat and cancer, as if the person answering the phone should be able to answer such related to job duty they aren't hired to perform.
It quickly became clear to me that the film's sole purpose is to use fear to promote veganism.
In some ways, this is a noble endeavor as it's generally accepted that a diet high in the consumption of meat and animal products is highly correlated with the diseases such as obesity, cancer, and heart disease. However, this knowledge has yet to be enough to encourage most Americans to completely eliminate meat from the menu. This begs the question if we know that veganism is among the most nutritionally sound, why doesn't everyone adopt it?
Everyone doesn't embrace veganism because people make food choices based on many, many factors…not just nutrition. In fact, the frustration and confusion of trying to make sure your diet aligns with veganism, or any highly restrictive diet, can create unnecessary stress. This stress is itself harmful to health. So, I'd like to offer a perspective that I hope will help free us from some of the frustration and stress of healthy eating and give us permission to see food as something more than just fuel and to see health as determined by more than our food choices.
What if we make food choices based on what you want for your lives, not solely out of fear of what you don't want?
One of the frustrating things about What The Health is how it presents veganism as the only option for people who want to avoid chronic diseases. It attempts to scare people out of moderation and into a single dietary choice. In addition to mounds of evidence indicating that animal products, in moderation, can be a part of a healthy diet, it discounts that value of the myriad other factors that are correlated with health.
…a person who has family ties, all of which affect food choices and many of which affect disease risk, it becomes clear that what works for one person's life won't necessarily be ideal for another.
Am I suggesting that we choose food that provides pleasure over food that supports health? No. I'm suggesting our health is determined by many factors, and it may be more important to find a sense of harmony among the factors you have some control over, including diet, than it is to enact restrictions that may be challenging to meet or maintain. Truthfully, you have options in terms of embracing a diet that helps you live the whole life you desire. Veganism is one of those options. It is not the only option.
If you're watching this film, want to watch it, watched it, and had immediate thoughts of panic, fret not. I would encourage you to not get so steeped in fear of diseases related to diet that you forget that you are a whole person with a whole life to live. Sure, diet is part of that life but it's not the whole thing. That's just my perspective.
I really appreciate your perspective on this film. I read something the other day about the marketing of this film (i.e. fear). Trust, I'm not going to knock the hustle. Over the years, I have done the whole reading up and trying to do away with meat completely, this, that and the other "nutrition". Currently, I'm in a realistic perspective of getting my vegetable servings in during the day. My focus has been on having a certain amount of vegetables on my plate at a time. So, I don't feel guilty about that sub sandwich that I made and devoured during the same day that I got lots of servings of vegetables for dinner or lunch. Nutrition should be simple and unique to the body of each person in this world. Bon Appetit!
Sabrina, thanks for your comment. Sounds like your journey to becoming more realistic and feeling less guilty has brought you some peace about what works for you. #Goals.
What a shame that the film turned out that way. And actually, whenever I read things like this, I worry that some people don't pick up on subtext (ie pushing people down one avenue). I think your point about diet being linked to, and affected by, things like race, culture and financials is also really important as sometimes it's just not practical to eat a specific way.
Exactly! Practicality is key is a behavior is going to be sustained. Thank you for your comment.
I had the same feeling. The content was interesting but the fear tactics were a turn off. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdzw25V5jD6RgA8GF | Born and raised in Hong Kong, with an English father and a Chinese mother, Arthur Bray, is a professional DJ and full-time editor at Hypebeast. Bray describes the style of music he plays as "anything that makes you get up and dance and feel energetic". That means mostly bass-oriented house, hip-hop, and dance music.
With a mother from Hong Kong and father from England, uniting east and west is not only in Arthur Bray's blood—literally—but it's also his mission as a professional DJ and chief editor at Hypebeast. He and his twin brother Thomas Bray moved to London to study when they were 18 years old. With their university roommate in London, they founded a music blog called Yeti Out. Now back in Asia, they grew Yeti Out into a global platform that, through music collaborations and basement parties, is bringing together eastern and western artists to push the envelope in Asia's creative circles.
Thanks to his natural instinct to reject the conventional, Arthur Bray has always been a trend-setter and collaborated with many fashion brands. He was recently featured alongside gender-defying model Jazzelle and rapper Octavian in Palladium's #DareTheUnknown series, which celebrates the release of their Spring/Summer 2018 collection.

BkiUdZA5qWTBLnE2DFRZ | New Ethernet standard brings 5x speeds without cable change
(Image: Stockfresh)
As expected the IEEE has ratified a new Ethernet specification — IEEE P802.3bz — that defines 2.5Gbase-T and 5Gbase-T, boosting the current top speed of traditional Ethernet five times without requiring the tearing out of current cabling.
The Ethernet Alliance wrote that the IEEE 802.3bz Standard for Ethernet Amendment sets Media Access Control Parameters, Physical Layers, and Management Parameters for 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps Operation lets access layer bandwidth evolve incrementally beyond 1Gbps, it will help address emerging needs in a variety of settings and applications, including enterprise, wireless networks.
Indeed, the wireless component may be the most significant implication of the standard as 2.5G and 5G Ethernet will allow connectivity to 802.11ac Wave 2 access points, considered by many to be the real driving force behind bringing up the speed of traditional NBase-T products.
"As new 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless technology is being deployed the need to offload more and more data at higher and higher speeds from the wireless to the wired network has never been so critical," wrote Sachin Gupta, vice president of product management in a blog celebrating the ratification. "Going beyond 1 Gb/s with existing Cat5e and Cat6 cables was little more than a talking point two years ago. But now with Nbase-T, we have the ability to extend the life of an enormous asset — your wired network. The Cat5e and Cat6 installed in just the last 15 years now exceeds an estimated 70 billion meters of cabling, which is more than 10 trips to Pluto."
Gupta added: "For some, a re-cabling isn't even possible. For others, unfeasible. For the rest, re-cabling is just costly and disruptive. It is easy to imagine the value of delivering multi-gigabit speeds to the more than 1.3 billion Cat 5e/6 outlets worldwide if it doesn't require the huge headache and expense of a major cable replacement. The promise of Nbase-T has to have nearly every CFO, CTO, building manager, and IT group breathing a huge sigh of relief."
"The applications for Nbase-T solutions are vast and growing. Enterprise, small medium business, industrial, and home networks can take advantage of this technology to enable higher capacity wireless access points and faster downloads to client systems such as medical imaging systems that work with large data files, upgraded industrial and home networks," the Nbase-T Alliance wrote of the ratification.
"Last quarter, Nbase-T switch and access point ports surged significantly as enterprises began to upgrade their campus networks to speeds beyond 1G," said Alan Weckel, vice president of Ethernet switch market research at Dell'Oro Group. "There will be a sizable upgrade cycle around Nbase-T technology with robust growth expected over the next several years. As a result, we expect 2017 Nbase-T port shipments to exceed three million ports."
Hand in hand with adoption of a low-speed Ethernet standard by the IEEE, proponents of the technology will hold an interoperability plugfest 10 October to tout the readiness of 2.5Gbase-T and 5Gbase-T products.

BkiUdDA5qdmB66dya96L | Coronavirus Northern Ireland: Firmus Energy reach out to Newry's most vulnerable
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, firmus energy has used its firmus care service to reach out to more vulnerable customers who may need special support.
The firmus care scheme maintains an active register of customers who are older, registered disabled or are chronically ill.
Staff are contacting those registered on the scheme, either by phone or letter, to see if firmus can do anything to help them while they stay at home.
firmus staff are supporting customers to find help collecting groceries, prescriptions, and offering reassurance and shared stories to help keep isolation at bay.
George Lightbody (pictured) is one of firmus' energy advisors involved in the scheme and advises customers in the Banbridge, Bessbrook, Newry, Camlough and Warrenpoint areas.
George told Newry Times, "I've enjoyed getting to speak with customers and hear about their life experience.
"Social distancing can be a lonely time for all of us, but for those who have been told they need to stay home for three months, or who don't have access to video calls and social media, they can feel completely cut off from the rest of the world."
Speaking about firmus energy's dedicated care team, Director Paul Stanfield said, "The firmus energy care service isn't a new thing.
"The company has been supporting vulnerable customers since 2006.
"As part of our response to COVID-19 staff have been proactively reaching out to customers on our vulnerable list, who will most likely be shielding themselves and their family members at home.
"Customer care staff have also been given more freedom to have a longer chat, to be a listening ear, and help signpost them to other support services where necessary," he added.
firmus energy has stopped all non-essential engineering works, but staff continue to work around the clock to ensure the gas continues to flow to homes and businesses throughout its Ten Towns network.

#CrystalTowerFire: Alert 11-YO Mumbai Girl Protects 15 People from Suffocating!
Since the fire had broken out between the 12th to 16th floors of the building, the evacuation process was extremely challenging. The lifts could not be used, and with smoke rapidly-filling up the floors, the lives of several people were in danger.
Post author:Tanvi Patel
Post category:Bravery / Inspirational / Mumbai
Today morning, a massive fire broke out in Crystal Towers, a high-rise residential building in Parel, Mumbai. Shortly after, several alarming images of the incident were circulated in the media, and one can see clouds of smoke billowing out from the upper floors of the building.
In this catastrophic situation, the quick-thinking on the part of 11-year-old Zen Gunratan Sadavarte, a resident of the 16th floor, was instrumental in saving many lives. Speaking to Firstpost, she said that as soon as her family saw the smoke emerging from the 12th floor, she opened the windows, stepped outside her home, knocked on the doors of her neighbours and alerted them about the fire.
Zen had learnt about the do's and don'ts in case of fire in her school.
The alert young girl asked 15-16 of her neighbours to cover their mouth with a wet cloth. According to the publication, she had also quickly made a purifier with cotton and water and handed it over to them. This prevented the people from suffocating in the smoke that was engulfing the building.
Narendra Tembulkar, who lives in a building near Crystal Towers saw large waves of smoke coming from the high-rise.
Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed to the building where the police had already arrived.
Source: Twitter. (L) Gilson Varghese. (R) Dipti Singh.
The fire tenders were yet to reach, so the police, along with Narendra, started to rescue people and worked together to contain the fire.
Speaking to Daily News and Analysis, Narendra said, "I managed to pull out a gas cylinder from one of the homes. We also pulled out some people from the flats. They were choking because of the smoke, but they were stable."

Termed as a Grade 4 or high-intensity fire, it was later reported that it had claimed the lives of four people. Over 16 were suffocated in the blaze, and are currently being treated in the KEM hospital.
If not for the presence of mind and bravery exhibited by Zen, Narendra as well as the police and fire department, perhaps this number would have been much higher.

BkiUcvU5qhLA23QkpF5z | Caerau is a former mining village in the community of Maesteg, Bridgend County Borough, Wales, located approximately 2 miles north of the centre of Maesteg town in the Llynfi Valley. Caerau, surrounded by mountainous terrain and forestry, is one of the border points between Bridgend County Borough and Neath Port Talbot County Borough, bordered to the north by Croeserw and Cymmer, Neath Port Talbot. Caerau, borders Dyffryn and Spelter to the south in Nantyffyllon, Maesteg.
Governance
For elections to Bridgend County Borough Council, Caerau is part of the electoral ward of Caerau, which also includes the Nantyffyllon area of Maesteg. The ward elects two county borough councillors.
History
Caerau was originally a village with very little significance and population up until the late 1800s when the extensive mineral extraction industry gained traction. The North's Navigation Collieries company established Caerau Colliery in 1889, and following an insatiable demand for labour, the village population increased dramatically.
Many of the early houses and buildings in Caerau were built by North's Navigation company, and were mostly built with locally quarried stone. This gives the village a characteristic style of architecture with its native Carboniferous limestone masonry in its buildings. This style can often be seen combined with crenellated door and window surrounds made of locally produced red or blue brick.
Caerau had a significant role in the war effort, both through its continuous production of coal and also its acceptance of large amounts of children evacuees during World War II.
Caerau Colliery
The village grew rapidly after the opening of Caerau Colliery in 1889 by North's Navigation Collieries. In brief, the colliery consisted of three shafts (North, South and No. 3 Pits) and employed 2,400 men at its peak in the early 1920s. The mine closed in 1977.
The Inspector of Mines list, 1896, shows there were 533 men employed in Caerau "South Pit" producing steam coal. Further development saw the sinking of No.3 House Coal Pit in 1903. In 1908, there were 1,170 men employed in the two Steam Coal Pits and 57 in the House Coal Pit. This colliery held the record output for the South Wales area in 1913. By 1918, the workforce had risen to 1,839.
From a list drafted in 1923, there were 2,040 employed at the Steam Coal Pits, producing coal and ironstone from the Six Feet, Seven Feet and Upper and Lower New Seams. The House Coal Pit employed 340 men, producing from the Two and a Half Feet Seam. The House Coal Pit closed in 1925.
Three men were killed in an underground accident at Caerau Colliery in 1931. By the end of the war in 1945, there were 568 men still in employment.
Production began to slow from 1977. During its final two years, coal production concentrated on the Bute Seam. Caerau Colliery eventually closed permanently in 1979, five years before Margaret Thatcher's announcement of coal pit closures in 1984 which led to the miners' strike of 1984 and 1985. Most of the men were transferred to nearby Coegnant and St. John's Colliery.
Caerau Colliery legacy
Even after the mining industry had ceased in 1979, the village still bore the scars of its extensive mining history. Enormous landforms created by the dumping of tailings from the colliery (known locally as "coal tips" or simply "tips") still remained. These landforms were levelled and landscaped during the 1980s, now very little traces remain of the mining industry in the village.
More recently, plans to produce environmentally friendly geothermically heated water at around 20.6 degrees Celsius for use in heating homes. The concept is utilising the naturally heated water from the flooded former mine workings of Caerau Colliery through a heat exchanger to provide heat to homes. The project is projected to cost £9.4M.
Population
The ward population taken at the 2011 census was 6,995.
Amenities and community projects
Caerau is home to a range of community projects. For example, Caerau Market Garden which is managed by Caerau Community Growers, and Noddfa Community Project at Noddfa Community Centre.
Religion
Due to the predominantly practising Christian population at the turn of the 19th century, there were many churches built. However, due to the sharp decline in the practising Christians in the village many of these buildings are now derelict or demolished. St. Cynfelin church is still open and regularly attended.
Noddfa Chapel is a former church that is now used as a Library and for youth activities. The village also has a public park that includes a bowls green, which is the home of the village's bowls team.
Recreation and facilities
Caerau Road contains most of the village's retail facilities. Formerly home to a diverse number of shops and establishments, the area is now mainly populated by convenience stores and take-away meal outlets.
The village once contained its own cinemas however these facilities no longer remain. The village cenotaph now stands in the place of the Coliseum, a once popular cinema which was demolished in the 1970s.
There are public allotment facilities near North Street called Caerau Market Garden, which is popular among residents for growing vegetables. There is also an organisation called Men's Shed, which provides affordable meals and groceries to residents.
Caerau lacks a miners' institute building. This is due to an arson attack on the former premises which was situated on what is now a grassy area between Wesley street and Library Road.
Hotels and public houses
Due to its significance as a mining village, many hotels were built to accommodate the number of visitors to the village as a result. None of the premises now accept guests, but many still remain open as public houses.
The Station (1905), Navi (formerly "Navigation" 1882) and Blaenllynfi (1892) are surviving examples of the village's hotels, however the Blaencaerau Hotel (renamed "The Monkey") was destroyed by arson in 1990 and the Dyffryn Hotel is disused.
Alongside these, the Llynfi Coach House (formerly "Legion Club"), Riverboat and Imperial Club are popular venues in Caerau.
Education
English-medium primary education is provided in the village at Caerau Primary School. The school is a modern design that was constructed with environmentally friendly materials. It replaced the old 19th century school building that was destroyed by arson.
Secondary and further education is provided outside of the village in Ysgol Maesteg School.
Transport
The village is located on the A4063 road between Croeserw and Maesteg.
There are bus services operating routes through the village as well as taxi firms operating from the village. Parking is free throughout the village.
Caerau train station and the associated railway routes were made defunct during the Beeching Report cutback of rail services in the 1960s. The nearest railway station to the village is Maesteg.
Sport
Caerau FC, the local football club, play in the 1st division of the South Wales Amateur League (as of 2008–09). They play at the Athletic Ground at Humphreys Terrace, which is a south of the village centre.
Caerau also hosts a national-standard BMX track, home to the Llynfi BMX Racing Club, behind The Duffryn Pub on Coegnant Road. There is also a Clubhouse for the Bowling Green at Caerau Park.
Caerau is also the training ground for Llynfi Valley Panthers Netball Club, who train in Caerau Primary School.

BkiUeunxK6mkyCKC2WF1 | Q: Unsupported operating system Laravel 8 with Sail on Windows 10 (WSL2) I've spent 13 hours to compose Laravel Sail and I hadn't able to install it on Windows 10 operating system.
But later fortunately my collegaue found the solution when he also bumbed into this error message:
Unsupported operating system [MINGW64_NT-10.0-19042]. Laravel Sail supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL2).
During the 13 hours:
*
*Firstly I installed the Docker Desktop to Windows what runs the Docker environment.
*Docker requires WSL-2 on Windows and it seemed to me also needs installed Linux operation system. That's why I did this whole process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install and I installed Ubuntu 20.04 version.
*After the installation I copy my whole project into the folder of Linux user. Bud I coudn't do anything in it (for example pull or push to my git repository) because of authentication issues.
*To solve this problem I created a symlink between the project in Windows and Linux based on these two answers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52545505/how-to-synchronize-code-files-on-windows-with-wsl-linux/62715180#62715180, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65227492/laravel-8-laravel-sail-for-dev-on-windows-10-is-slow-how-to-speed-up/65236920#65236920
*It didn't solve the problem that's why I deleted the /vendor/ folder in my project and ran composer udpate based on this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65513584/10473070 Also didn't work.
*After I did all the next process without success: https://codeburst.io/how-to-use-laravel-sail-with-the-docker-desktop-wsl-2-backend-3768a126a85
*It was a side effect that the MySQL couldn't reach the remote database and when the Docker finally worked the process consume half of my available memory.
*My final try was to create an empty Laravel 8 project for testing with curl call by this documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#getting-started-on-windows
*The result was failure. Finally I uninstalled Linux and Docker Desktop.
The solution and partial explanations are in my answer.
A: The solution is in Sail and the issue is a kind of bug.
But first the prepare steps:
*
*You need install Docker Desktop on your Windos
*You need install and set WSL 2 by this guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install but
*You absolutely not need to install Linux on Windows. Because the problem is an operation system checking condition in Sail.
*Find the sail file in the vendor folder: vendor/laravel/sail/bin/sail and change from this code:
Verify operating system is supported...
case "${UNAMEOUT}" in
Linux*) MACHINE=linux;;
Darwin*) MACHINE=mac;;
*) MACHINE="UNKNOWN"
esac
if [ "$MACHINE" == "UNKNOWN" ]; then
echo "Unsupported operating system [$(uname -s)]. Laravel Sail supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL2)." >&2
exit 1
fi
to this:
# Verify operating system is supported...
#case "${UNAMEOUT}" in
# Linux*) MACHINE=linux;;
# Darwin*) MACHINE=mac;;
# *) MACHINE="UNKNOWN"
#esac
#
#if [ "$MACHINE" == "UNKNOWN" ]; then
# echo "Unsupported operating system [$(uname -s)]. Laravel Sail supports macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL2)." >&2
#
# exit 1
#fi
This solve the problem.
And why can we do this?
Because to check the vendor/laravel/sail/bin/sail bash file you can notice that every command can run in bash and terminal on Windows also without any problem.
Maybe they forget to put a Windows checking line in this code segment above.
To do these process Laravel Sail works like a charm based on Laravel Sail documentation.
And don't forget that this is just a hotfix because the next Sail update will override the modified sail bash file!

Texans TV Host
]( "Texans C Chris Myers")
The season is over, there are months to go until the offseason training program begins and the Texans are staring at quite a bit of free time for the immediate future. Rest was high on the priority list for the majority who spoke on Monday morning.
"A whole lot of nothing," tight end Garrett Graham said of how he'll spend the next few days. "Relax. Take it easy on the body. Just kind of clear your mind."
Defensive end J.J. Watt echoed the relaxation idea, and plans on getting "some gifts" for his fellow defensive teammates. He also said he'll visit family at home in Wisconsin at some point during the offseason.
Rookie right guard Ben Jones is nine hours shy of a college degree. He's headed to Athens, Ga., for a final semester of college.
"I'm actually going back to school," Jones said. "I'm going to finish up my degree. I'm going to be back in Georgia for the spring."
The Texans' other rookie right guard, Brandon Brooks, will take care of chores before a return to home to the Midwest.
"Just kind of clean up my house," Brooks said. "I think I'm going to go back home a little bit, so clean my house up and pay some bills and everything like that, get everything taken care of before I leave."
Defensive backs Glover Quin and Johnathan Joseph both said they planned on spending time with their family. In the case of Quin, he's looking forward to "day dates" with his wife, and the ability to take his daughter to school. Joseph, meanwhile, said he'll play with his son and relax.
Center Chris Myers heads to Hawaii next week for the second straight January, as he'll play in the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 27. But he'll be "in and out" of Reliant Stadium for workouts in between now and then. Like many of his teammates, Myers and his family have a home now in Houston. He has routinely worked out with some of his teammates in the offseason ever since joining the squad in 2007.
"I think it's a big key to a lot of the team's success is the guys that do stick around," Myers said. "And it's easier for guys who have families living in their city. It's just one of those things that I think the camaraderie between us that whole offseason for those few months before we even hit OTAs (Organized Team Activities) is the biggest thing that leads to our success."

Deadly strangers on a train
by Seongyong Cho
January 20, 2013 |
Streaming on Netflix Instant.
"Transsiberian" is a Hitchcockian thriller decorated with icy wintry landscapes. It sets its tone right at the beginning, carefully developing an unstable feeling while loading the story. It steadily amplifies a sense of dread within its closed space. We sense something terrible will happen, and it does happen, but we are surprised because we suddenly find the movie rapidly accelerating on an unexpected course--and it never stops until it reaches to its finale literally approaching toward it from the opposite side.
Its ominous tone is quickly established during the brief opening sequence in Vladivostok, a port city in the Far East region of Russia. On a bright, cold day, a man is found murdered and frozen in one of the boats at the port. A middle-aged detective arrives in to check the crime scene. As soon as he looks around the cabin of the boat, he perceives what happened and makes a quick conclusion.
Then the movie places its focus on an ordinary American couple who have just finished fruitful volunteer work at a church mission in China. They can go to Moscow by plane, but Roy (Woody Harrelson) wants to have a special time with his wife Jessie (Emily Mortimer), so they choose the Transsiberian Express, which goes from Beijing to Moscow during its 7-day journey across the vast landscape of Siberia. They have a rocky start thanks to many uncomfortable things, including a hostile conductress and a narrow cabin (the movie is certainly not a good promotional film for the Transsiberian railway), but at least they get the usual pleasures of a train trip. They enjoy the snowy scenery outside (the temperature is below -20℃/-4℉), and they have a pretty good time with the strangers on the train who can speak English and tell them a lot about their country ("If you want proof about America, you take a book. You want proof about Russia, take shovel.").
They meet Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and his young girlfriend Abby (Kate Mara--she's an elder sister of Rooney Mara). They don't look like easy people to get along with. Although he gives Roy and Jessie useful advice on how to make a new passport look less suspicious to custom officials, Noriega's smarmy performance clearly indicates that Carlos is a bad dude she should not trust, and Mara's detached face, as icy and white as Siberian snow, draws more suspicion about them. Are they really just a young couple with some money for traveling here and there around the world? Or...
Instead of hurriedly pushing itself into thriller mode, the director Brad Anderson's screenplay polishes its characters through casual but uneasy interactions between these two couples during its patient set-up process, and we get to know more about them. Roy, a decent and likable guy with boyish interest on trains, has no problem with spending time with Carlos and Abby. He even goes around some abandoned coal trains alone with Carlos while having not the slightest idea about what Carlos may be capable of. I wonder--what was he thinking when a blunt instrument came handy to him?
Unlike her gullible husband, Jessie instinctively recognizes what kind of people Carlos and Abby are, for they evoke the wild messy past she has been trying to put behind her. Now sober and clean, she is grateful to Roy for having been a solid ground for her to settle on since their chance encounter and subsequent marriage, and she looks happy and stable to be with him, but now a dark, seductive stranger suddenly appears in front of her along with a girl who may not be different from her younger self. Carlos sees through Jessie just like she did, and he insidiously tempts her former self remaining inside her while Roy being innocently oblivious about what's going on between them.
And then something happens. After a stop at the station in Irkutsk, Roy doesn't get back on the train, so Jessie finds herself alone among strangers. She gets off the train at the next station to wait for Roy. So do Carlos and Abby. Because of Roy's absence, the subtle tension between Jessie and Carlos is increased more than before, while Abby seems to be more occupied with something she doesn't want to talk about.
I should be reticent about what you will get during and after this uncomfortable circumstance, but let's say the trouble Jessie gets herself into is not far from the nightmarish situations you can imagine as a tourist in a foreign country. Some Russian people can be cordial to you, but others can be are bitter and harsh as their depressing world ("In Russia now we say there are only two kinds people, those who leave in private jet, and those who leave in coffin"). The local police look threatening and brutish rather than nice and dependable. The fear of the police, a typical subject in Hitchcock's thrillers, is more intensified in Jessie when her husband safely comes back to her with a narcotics detective as their new cabin mate. She becomes more panicked because of her big trouble involving drug trafficking, and she finds herself more trapped as she tries more to wriggle out of the detective's attention.
Detective Grinko (Ben Kingsley), who is the very detective we saw in the opening scene, looks like a courteous old man more helpful than Carlos and Abby, but Jessie gradually feels that she is being watched and cornered by him. He has some interest in Carlos and Abby, and he knows something doesn't fit. As she feels more pressured minute by minute, he gives her a stern warning/advice: "In Russia, we have expression. 'With lies, you may go ahead in the world, but you may never go back.' Do you understand this, Jessie?"
The director/writer Brad Anderson drew lots of attention from me and South Korean audiences through his previous film "The Machinist" (2004). Its story was essentially a run-of-the-mill psychological thriller drama with a familiar twist, but the movie did a better job than we expected thanks to Christian Bale's frighteningly skeletal performance and Anderson's competent direction.
In the case of "Transsiberian", which was inspired by his own trip on the Transsiberian Express, Anderson has made an engrossing thriller well supported by its impressive atmosphere and his deft handling of suspense. Mainly shot in the locations in Lithuania, the icy wintry atmosphere is prevalent throughout the film, and its white bleakness works effectively as the background for suspense, dread, and desperation, as shown in one silent but disturbing scene involving two main characters and an abandoned Orthodox church in the remote snowy wilderness.
The movie also makes good use of the train as its main stage. It looks like a safe place for the characters for a while, and then it contributes to the intense claustrophobic feelings during the second half of the movie, through its narrow space with few hiding places. Later, we get a jaw-dropping moment reminiscent of the climax of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller film "The Lady Vanishes" (1938); Jessie and Roy realize something is going terribly wrong for them on the train--and it becomes quite possible that they will not be able to arrive in Moscow.
As a movie depending a lot on suspense rather than action, it naturally requires good performances to hold our attention, and the actors deliver what's required. Emily Mortimer is an ideal choice for a neurotic heroine under pressure; the more pressured she gets, the more fabulously her performance trembles on the edge. Terrified of what will possibly happen to her, and scared of what her husband will think of her, Jessie stubbornly and maddeningly sticks to her lie despite Grinko's warning, but it results in more troubles coming to her and her husband. Even at the most hopeless moment, she desperately clings to the lie, and Mortimer is terrific as her character is crumbling down under unbearable pressure.
Playing a normal guy was the last thing I could imagine from Woody Harrelson after to his startling turn in "Natural Born Killers" (1994), but Harrelson surprised me in this film as an average husband whose personal interest turns out to be very useful when he and his wife must escape as soon as possible. It's unclear about how much he comes to learn about her through their perilous journey, but he's not a guy who easily changes his thoughts about the woman he loves. Eduardo Noriega is odious and ingratiating as a man who might be worse than he looks, Kate Mara holds her cards behind her back well, and Ben Kingsley imbues his archetypal character with shady integrity. I especially liked a nice small touch involving his wristwatch, although it looks a little too symbolic during a crucial moment around the ending.
When I watched the movie in late 2008 after hearing good things about it, I was a little disappointed during its first half, but, once it got tighter, I could see how diligently it prepared for its thrills and suspense. There are few action scenes in the film, but I appreciated them for actually serving the story for good dramatic effect. This is a smart and taut thriller filled with cold intensity and suspenseful ambience, and it is a very recommendable one especially when it gets cold on a winter night.

BkiUa-3xK6EuNBRhGMaV | Saudi Arabia's top clerical council, the only body in the country authorized to issue fatwas or religious decrees, declared on Wednesday that "terrorism is a heinous crime" under Sharia, and perpetrators should be made an example of.
The statement, days after Saudi Arabia and other Arab states pledged in Jeddah to combat militant ideology, was the most comprehensive attack the kingdom's conservative clergy have made so far on radicalism and the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
In a statement carried on state media, they did not specify particular punishments, but said they should act as a deterrent. Saudi Arabia applies the death penalty, usually by public beheading, for many serious crimes.
Signed by all 21 members of the council and quoting extensively from the Koran and sayings of the Prophet Mohammad, the statement also prohibits militant financing or encouraging young people towards militant acts, Reuters reported.
The kingdom's Grand Mufti, who heads the state-appointed Council of Senior Scholars, has already described militants of Islamic State and al Qaeda as Islam's foremost enemy in a series of public comments in recent weeks.
The mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh, in 2007 said "terrorists" deserved "had al-harraba", the ultimate punishment which involves execution followed by the public display of the body as a deterrent.
The statement described terrorism as any crime aimed at corrupting and undermining security, offences against lives or property, homes, schools, hospitals, factories, bridges, state facilities or oil and gas pipelines, or blowing up or hijacking airplanes.
Dozens of people have been sentenced to long jail terms over the past month for security offences connected to militant attacks in the kingdom last decade, and to efforts to join conflicts in foreign countries.
In February, King Abdullah decreed prison terms for people giving support to extremist organizations or going overseas to fight, following concerns that young Saudis with militant groups in Syria, Iraq and Yemen may eventually target their homeland.
The statement also hit out at criticism of some religious teachings in schools and remarks by senior clergy, which critics of the Al Saud have said fosters hate. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdFo4uzlhcODLc06y | The Rocket Richard Riot: Reacting to a high stick from Boston's Hal Laycoe in a game on March 13, 1955, Rocket Richard attacks Laycoe with a stick three times and punches out linesman Cliff Thompson. Richard is ejected from the game, but the real punishment is handed out by NHL president Clarence Campbell - a man who has had a long history disciplining Richard. This time Campbell suspends Richard for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs, costing Richard a shot at his only NHL scoring title, and hurting Montreal's chances of success in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The next night Campbell attends the game in Montreal and fans show their unhappiness by hurling insults and debris at the NHL chief. During the first intermission things get out of hand when a tear gas bomb explodes, causing mass panic. The game is forfeited to Detroit as the angry crowd gathers outside the Montreal Forum and rioting begins. Damage and looting to local businesses is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Montreal Fans Boo Boom Boom: As mentioned, Rocket Richard's suspension likely cost him his only chance at winning the NHL scoring title. When teammate Boom Boom Geoffrion did officially pass Richard and claim the NHL scoring title with 75 points, Montreal fans boo their own player for "stealing" the scoring title away from their beloved Rocket.
Zamboni Debuts: A new ice resurfacing machine makes its NHL debut on March 10th, 1955. The Zamboni debuts at Maple Leaf Gardens and quickly becomes standard equipment at all NHL arenas. Other firsts: Out of town scoreboards in every arena, and zebra-striped sweaters for refs and linesmen.
Changing of the Guard: We see several veteran coaches/managers exit the game. Conn Smythe retires as managing director of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Art Ross ends his 30 year association with the Boston Bruins. And, despite winning a Stanley Cup in 1954, Tommy Ivan exits as coach of the Detroit Red Wings to become GM of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Montreal's Doug Harvey had one of his finest seasons, establishing a NHL record for assists by a defenseman with 43 while scoring 6 of his own. Harvey has clearly taken the torch from Detroit's Red Kelly as the best defenseman in the game, and is rightfully awarded the Norris Trophy as such.
Toronto Maple Leafs great Teeder Kennedy retires following the Leafs exit from the playoffs. He is later awarded the Hart Trophy as league MVP, though it is seen as more of a "career achievement" nod than a true season's best recognition.
The Detroit Red Wings win another Stanley Cup, their 4th in 5 years, establishing a true sports dynasty. The Red Wings needed 7 games to knock off the Rocket Richard-less Canadiens. Gordie Howe set a NHL post season record with 20 points, while Dutch Reibel and Alex Delvecchio also had strong performances. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc6E4eILhQLGUUJAQ | Easy basketball drills for young kids. Easy to teach and easy for kids to pick up the skills while having fun.
All players have a ball facing only one designated wall in the gym or instructor if you're outside.
All players face the designated wall for the entire drill.
The instructor stands in front of the designated wall and points in the direction they want the players to dribble.
All players should keep their shoulders square to the front wall at all times, unless told to dribble on an angle. Either way the players should be looking at the designated wall/instructor for the entire drill.
The instructor can point to right, left, back, corners or behind.
OPTION: You can say the direction you want the players to dribble. This is helpful to younger/beginners.
Remember you can speed up the drill if you want to challenge higher skilled players.
NOTE: You can do this drill without a ball for k-2nd. 2nd grade can handle this drill with a ball on a modified level.
Select 5-7 pirates for every 20 players.
The pirates will not have a ball.
Job of the pirates is to steal a ball from another player.
If a pirate steals a ball, then the player who's ball was stolen becomes a pirate.
No steal backs, meaning if a players ball is stolen from a pirate, they can NOT immediately steal from the pirate that just stole from them.
OPTION: Players are not allowed to hold a ball to prevent a steal. If they do this, they'll have to give the ball to the pirate anyway. I recommend this rule for 4th-6th grade.
TIP: After a few minutes of playing, some players may not of had a chance to become a pirate. You can let these players start as pirates for another round.
5-7 taggers for every 20 players.
Students/campers are allowed to dribble anywhere in the gym.
OPTION: You can place the taggers in the center of the gym in between poly spots. The other students/campers will attempt to cross thru the center to the other side.
You can have the players that are tagged become taggers. TIP: If you do this I recommend using wrist bands, so the new taggers can put them on quickly.
Another option would just be to have the players tagged go back to a designated cone and try again.
If you have a class with 20-30 students I recommend breaking them up into 3 groups. Two teams for each group.
Tagging team starts with 1 ball. They must use the ball to tag players on the other team.
Player with the ball can only pivot. No dribbling.
OPTION: You can allow 3 or 4 steps when handling the ball.
When a player is tagged or goes out of bound, you have a few options.
PENALTY FOR BEING TAGGED OPTIONS: Perform an exercise and come back in. Simply stay out until all teammates are tagged (Teams can compete to see which team can make all the tags the fastest). Stay in and the tagging team will receive a point for every tag they make.
TIP: I recommend 1 or 2 minutes per round.
This game is played just like red light green without a ball. Of course it's higher difficulty because the students must keep their ball still along with their body.
On Green light you will turn your back while students dribble forward.
When you turn around and say red light, if a student or their ball is moving, they must go back to the start line.
OPTION: Let the winner take over your spot and call out the red light green light.
Object is to knock everyone's ball off the basketball court, while keeping your ball on.
If a player holds their ball or loses the bounce, but they're still on the court, they're still out.
If a player's ball is hit away, but it doesn't stop bouncing or go out of bounce, they still have a chance to regain control and stay in the game.
TIP: As more and more players are knocked out, decrease the size of the playing area without stopping the game.
Switch from your basketball court, to volleyball court, then a circle. Use the lines you have on your floor or poly spots.
NOTE: students will try to form alliances. Make them aware them if they get caught doing this, they will be out. It's easy to spot.
You can play this game with or without basketballs if you need a simple warm-up for you students/campers.
Spread the cones throughout the gym, some up and some down.
Half the class must stand cones up and the other half must knock them down, using their hands only.
Players must maintain their dribble while knocking or setting cones up.
EQUIPMENT: 2 basketballs, 2 deck rings, 1 bowling pin and 4 cones.
Make the class into two teams and divide each team into two groups.
Place each team in opposite diagonal corners from each other.
One bowling pin will be placed in the center of the gym.
1 ball will be given to each team, but only two of the 4 corners.
The first player in line with the ball will roll it and attempt to knock the pin down.
If the pin is missed that player will go to the end of their line and the ball will simply roll to their teammates on the other side of the court.
Both teams will be doing this at the same time, which means on a rate occasion the balls will collide. If this happens someone from one of the teams will simply retrieve the ball and continue playing.
If the pin is hit, this team will be rewarded by taking laying shots.
The team that didn't hit the pin, must stand the pin up and perform bounce passes to each player on their team twice.
Once the bounce passes are completed they will yell "DONE". The shooting team will receive a point for every basket they made.
NOTE: This game doesn't stop at any point until the end of class or the designated time. Another words, once a team yells done, both teams will hustle back to their corner and began rolling the ball again to knock the pin down without any signal from the teacher.
This game is not to be mistaken for AEROBIC BOWLING.
I hope you enjoyed the drills. Please feel free to leave a comment or question below.
This is a nice list of drills kids can do for basketball. I remember when I was a kid we did all sorts of drills very similar to the ones you showed — and as a result I actually became quite a good player.
Out of all these drills, which ones would you say is your favorite? And also which one would you say is the most effective?
I'm glad you enjoyed the drills! Some of these drills can be used for a inexperienced physical education class all the way up to a high school basketball team.
I'd have to say "Direction I Point" drill is the most effective to challenge higher skilled players but the King of the court is challenging and fun at the same time. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfE3xK7IDBrtwRsMC | Batch cleaning processes, using washing racks, were studied in two distinct phases; the distribution of flow within the rack to the formation of jets at the nozzles and the interaction of the jetted fluid with the surface. A pipe network approach was used to model the flow in the rack and the interaction of the fluid with the surface was studied using a specifically designed test rig. A stationary coherent jet was set up to impinge horizontally on to a vertical wall. White soft paraffin (WSP) was used as the soil material, an excipient commonly used in pharmaceutical processing. Three variables (flow rate, WSP thickness and water temperature) were controlled and chosen to match the conditions on an exemplar wash rack. Water with no added surfactant was used for all experiments. Flow rates were in the range 1–4 l min−1 which corresponded to Re = 5960–23840 for the 4 mm diameter jet used. The limits of WSP thickness and water temperature were set between 0.19 to 1.9 mm and 20 to 60 °C, respectively. Clean areas produced by each jet were measured using image processing and using this data the cleaning performance of each system was compared against each other. An energy framework was adopted to allow cleaning to be assessed in terms of efficiency which provides a framework for optimisation of the process.

BkiUdLk5qhDBNgCmtaQa | Daily Digest | Faraday might have a Future!
Written by The Uptake Published on 23 Sep 2021 • 1 min read
The world's most controversial EV maker heads to China.
Hi. It's Brady again.
Faraday Future, the (over)hyped electrical vehicle company that went public in New York in July, said it will establish a production line in China. Specifically, the automaker that has yet to make a single consumer automobile is heading to Zhuhai.
We've heard this tune before. In 2015, Faraday Future said it would invest USD 1 billion to build its first manufacturing site in the desert state of Nevada. Construction began the following year, but was abandoned in 2017. Faraday Future then signed a lease to take over a former tire plant in California, but it has yet to go online. (The company says it will begin production at this site in the summer of 2022.)
Faraday Future has been the brunt of many jokes, but this China entry looks a little more serious than its previous stumbles. Two major conglomerates (that are not Evergrande, a previous investor in the company) are involved, and a joint venture with the Zhuhai government is a possibility.
Part of me likes to think that a reversal of fortune is possible, particularly in a case where situational factors work in the protagonist's favor. But Faraday Future's track record really does give me pause.

BkiUdlc5qhDBXNiGmnZk | Owning and operating a car can be expensive for most drivers. Luckily, you can lower your insurance premiums to save money. These five suggestions may reduce your VA auto insurance costs while protecting you out on the road.
Most insurance companies have incentives for clients who bundle their policies. If you have renters, homeowners, and auto insurance, you may be able to lower your premiums.
Take a look at the age and condition of your car to decide if you need collision and comprehensive coverage. You can talk with a VA auto insurance agent to look at the value of your car and your policy to see you have more coverage than you need.
Did you know your credit score can affect your insurance premiums? Be sure to review your credit report for accuracy to see if it has any impact on your policy.
Nothing can make your insurance premiums increase quite like a bad driving record. If you have a lot of tickets or accidents, you can expect to pay more for your VA auto insurance.
You may want to increase your deductible if your premiums are too high. That way, you can pay less up front for your car insurance. Just be aware you may have to pay more when you file a claim.
If you want more information about lower your insurance costs, talk to your agent for ideas to save you money. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdTDxaKgS2KSYm9Qw | Kamen Rider Kikai appears next week! What's even better? The actor portraying him!
Jingi Irie plays Rento Makina, Kamen Rider Kikai's civilian identity. Jingi was the titular hero of Kikaider Reboot in 2014, which had a promotional crossover arc in Kamen Rider Gaim. He also has recently portrayed the villain Zamigo Delma in Lupinranger VS Patranger.
Jingi Irie imitates the henshin pose from the original Kikaider TV show in 1972. The pose and outfit are both homages to the character originally portrayed by Daisuke Ban.
Zamigo was my saving grace to that season of Super Sentai and now he's a Kamen Rider? I love this actor!

BkiUe3k5qhDCNj5tiRSN | The IASB project "Business Combinations" started in 2001. The increase of financial statements quality and international harmonization of business combinations recording were main objectives of this project. The project was divided into two phases. IFRS 3 (2004) Business Combinations" which replaced former IAS 22 was the result of the first phase. Partial harmonization of recording and financial reporting of business combination in Europe and in the USA was the main objective of IFRS 3 (2004). IFRS 3 (2004) is based on SFAS 141 (2001). SFAS 141 (2001) was developed in 2001 and replaced APB (Accounting Principles Board) Opinion No. 16 Business Combinations and SFAS 38. There is the pooling interest method forbidden and only the purchase method is allowed for all kinds of business combinations. Based on the comparison of both methodical approaches to business combinations are demonstrated reasons for refusing of pooling interest method. The second phase is aimed at purchase method application and new methodical approaches to business combination recording and it is the objective of the conclusion of this paper.
