In February alone, Russia produced 39.939 million tonnes of oil, and average daily oil production was 10.456 million barrels.
Companies with Russian and foreign investments produced 7.207 million tonnes of oil in January-February (3.422 million tonnes in February alone).
Gazprom produced 2.858 million tonnes of oil in January-February (1.387 million tonnes in February), and PSA operators 2.134 million tonnes (1.029 million tonnes).
Meanwhile, Russian oil export to countries outside the CIS for the same period of time amounted to 33.201 million tonnes (4.125 million barrels a day), which is 2.6 percent lower than in the same period in 2012.
In February alone, Russia exported 15.791 million tonnes of oil (4.134 million barrels a day).
In particular, 32.92 million tonnes of oil was exported outside the CIS through the Transneft pipeline system and about 3.86 million tonnes bypassing Transneft.
Russian oil companies reduced exports to CIS countries by 6.5 percent to 4.613 million tonnes in January-February 2013. In particular, oil supplies to Belarus declined by 3 percent to 3.437 million tonnes compared to the same period in 2012, while those to Kazakhstan grew by 77.3 percent to 1.176 million tonnes.

The company is also carrying out lab tests and other studies to better understand its unconventional HRZ shale before starting farm-out proceedings next year.
ASX listed 88 Energy is enjoying a high level of interest from potential farm-in partners at its project known as “Project Icewine” in Alaska’s famed North Slope oil province and it has now extended the farm-out deadline to the first quarter of 2019.
A recent decision to extend the company’s self imposed deadline for the farm-out of its conventional oil acreage was made to maximise the number of bids while remaining within the logistical schedule required for the drilling of multiple wells in the 2020 operating season.
Project Icewine’s conventional acreage has estimated gross mean prospective resources of 2.89 billion barrels of oil, which, if proven would represent a significant bounty for the Perth, small capped, ASX listed company.
88 Energy has an 80% interest in Project Icewine.
Separately, the company will carry out lab tests to better understand the producibility of its unconventional HRZ shale following an initial review by American oilfield services company Baker Hughes.
Baker Hughes is carrying out a comprehensive review that includes pre-drilling work completed by Burgundy Xploration and data obtained from the Icewine-1 and Icewine-2 unconventional shale wells.
88 Energy is also working with the US Geological Survey to better define quantitative oil and gas biomarkers, kerogen, age dating and variability in source rock geochemistry.
Management said the work underway is expected to be completed in the first half of 2019 before it starts farm-out proceedings for its unconventional acreage.
The company also expects to receive results from the 3D seismic it shot over the Cascade prospect in its Yukon leases, in February 2019.
Cascade contains the Yukon Gold discovery that was made in 1993. While the well penetrated the prospect in a down-dip location in reasonable quality, hydrocarbon saturated sandstone, the up-dip portion has now been identified as a channelised feature and is likely to host thicker sands of higher quality.
88 Energy Managing Director David Wall said: “By shifting the self-imposed year-end deadline for the Icewine conventional farm-out, we are maximising the chances of achieving the best deal possible for our shareholders and we remain highly encouraged by the level of activity and the quality of the parties active in the dataroom.”
“The first quarter of 2019 is shaping up to be an important period for the company with results expected from ongoing analysis related to the HRZ shale, the drilling of the Winx-1 exploration well, further definition of the potential on the Yukon Leases and, of course, the Project Icewine conventional farm-out.” | 49petroleum_and_natural_gas_engineering

Ergocalciferol Injection BP 300,000U
Ergocalciferol BP 0.75% W/V
For excipients see 6.1.
Solution for Injection
Intramuscular therapy with Ergocalciferol Injection is used in patients with gastrointestinal, liver or biliary disease associated with malabsorption of Vitamin D, resulting in hypophosphataemia, rickets, and osteomalacia.
Route of Administration: IM injection
Adults, Children and Elderly:
Dosage should be individualised by the clinician for each patient. Serum and urinary calcium concentrations, phosphate and BUN should be monitored at regular intervals, initially weekly, in order to achieve optimum clinical response and to avoid hypercalcaemia.
Doses should not normally exceed 40,000 units/day (1.0mg/day) for adults and 10,000 units/day (0.25mg/day) for children.
Ergocalciferol Injection may be administered as a single dose or repeated daily, dependent upon clinical response and requirements. Calcium and phosphorous supplements should be administered where necessary.
Hypercalcaemia, evidence of vitamin D toxicity, hypervitaminosis D, decreased renal function, metastatic calcification.
Adequate dietary calcium is necessary for clinical response to Ergocalciferol therapy.
Caution should be used when the injectable forms are used in patients with vitamin D resistant rickets as the range between the toxic and therapeutic dosage is narrow.
Vitamin D should be administered with caution to infants and patients who may have an increased sensitivity to its effects. Use with care in patients with renal impairment, renal calculi or heart disease or arteriosclerosis who might be at increased risk of organ damage if hypercalcaemia were to occur.
Ergocalciferol is not recommended for use in hypoparathyroidism. In the event of hypoparathyroidism when Ergocalciferol is used, calcium, parathyroid hormone or dihydrotachysterol may be required.
Dosage should be individualised. Frequent serum and urinary calcium, phosphate and urea nitrogen determinations should be carried out. Adequate fluid intake should be maintained.
Should hyperglycaemia develop, Ergocalciferol should be discontinued immediately.
Because of the effect on serum calcium, Ergocalciferol should only be administered to patients with renal stones when potential benefits outweigh possible hazards.
i) Magnesium-containing antacids : hypermagnesaemia may develop in patients on chronic renal dialysis.
ii) Digitalis glycosides : hypercalcaemia in patients on digitalis may precipitate cardiac arrhythmias.
iii) Verapamil atrial fibrillation has recurred when supplemental calcium and Ergocalciferol have induced hypercalcaemia.
iv) Anti-convulsants: vitamin D requirements may be increased in patients taking anti-convulsants (e.g. carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone).
v) Thiazide diuretics : hypoparathyroid patients on Ergocalciferol may develop hypercalcaemia due to increased Ergocalciferol (although Ergocalciferol is not recommended for use in hypoparathyroidism).
Pregnancy : There are no adequate data on the use of Ergocalciferol in pregnant women. Ergocalciferol Injection should not be used in pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential hazards to the foetus.
Animal studies have shown foetal abnormalities associated with hypervitaminosis D. Calcifediol and calcitriol are teratogenic in animals when given in doses several times the human dose. The offspring of a woman administered 17-144 times the recommended dose of calcitriol during pregnancy manifested mild hypercalcaemia in the first 2 days of life, which returned to normal at day 3.
Lactation : Ergocalciferol is excreted in breast milk in limited amounts. In a mother given large doses of Ergocalciferol, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol appeared in the milk and caused hypercalcaemia in the child. Monitoring of the infants serum calcium is required in such cases. Ergocalciferol should not be administered to breast-feeding mothers.
Ergocalciferol may cause drowsiness and, if affected, patients should not drive or operate machinery.
Adverse events are generally associated with excessive intake of ergocalciferol leading to the development of hypercalcaemia. The symptoms of hypercalcaemia can include:
Early : weakness; headache; somnolence; nausea; vomiting; dry mouth; constipation; diarrhoea; abdominal pain; fatigue; muscle weakness or pain; bone pain; metallic taste.
Late : polyuria; polydipsia; anorexia; irritability; weight loss; nocturia; mild acidosis; reversible azotaemia; generalised vascular calcification; nephrocalcinosis; conjunctivitis (calcific); pancreatitis; photophobia; rhinorrhoea; pruritis; hyperthermia; decreased libido; elevated BUN; albuminuria; hypercholesterolaemia; elevated AST and ALT; ectopic calcification; hypertension; cardiac arrhythmias; overt psychosis (rare).
In clinical studies on hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypopathyroidism, hypercalcaemia was noted on at least one occasion in about 1 in 3 patients and hypercalciuria in about 1 in 7. Elevated serum creatinine levels were observed in about 1 in 6 patients (approximately one half of whom had normal levels at baseline).
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via Yellow Card Scheme on the MHRA website (www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard).
Administration to patients in excess of their daily requirement can cause hypercalcaemia (see Section 4.8 Undesirable Effects), hypercalciuria and hyperphosphataemia. Concomitant high intake of calcium and phosphate may lead to similar abnormalities.
Treatment of chronic overdose with resulting hypercalcaemia consists of immediate withdrawal of the vitamin, a low calcium diet and generous fluid intake. Severe cases may require hydration with intravenous saline together with symptomatic and supportive treatment as indicated by the patient's clinical condition. Plasma calcium U & E's should be monitored.
ATC Code: A11C C01 - Vitamin D and analogues.
Ergocalciferol (vitamin D) is a fat soluble vitamin. In conjunction with parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, it regulates calcium haemostasis. Ergocalciferol metabolites promote active absorption of calcium and phosphorous by the small intestine, increase rate of excretion and resorption of minerals in bone and promote resorption of minerals in bone and promote resorption of phosphate by renal tubules.
Ergocalciferol deficiency leads to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Ergocalciferol reverses symptoms of nutritional rickets or osteomalacia unless permanent deformities have occurred.
Distribution - Stored chiefly in the liver, ergocalciferol is also found in fat, muscle, skin and bones. In plasma, it is bound to alpha globulins and albumin.
Metabolism - There is a lag of 10 to 24 hours between administration of ergocalciferol and initiation of its action in the body. Maximal hypercalcaemic effects occur about 4 weeks after daily administration of a fixed dose and the duration of action can be ≥ 2 months. Ergocalciferol is hydroxylated in the liver and further metabolism occurs in the kidney.
Excretion - The primary route of excretion of Ergocalciferol is in the bile. Additionally, some is excreted in the urine and faeces. There is also enterohepatic re-cycling.
Store below 25°C

Omron: High-Speed PCB Inspection Solutions
Model VT-RNSII optical inspection system.
Schaumburg, IL — Omron Inspection Systems has introduced high-speed enhancements for the industry proven VT-RNS Automated Optical Inspection System. These enhancements were developed to help manufacturers shorten program generation, improve inspection cycle time and eliminate escapes and reduce false calls while maintaining the company's high quality inspection capability.
The new VT-RNSII in-line post-reflow inspection system and VT-RNSII-ptH benchtop model utilize faster shutter speeds and improved image processing to perform inspections that are 20 percent faster than the original VT-RNS series. This combination allows faster throughput and more detailed inspections of densely populated boards within the same cycle time.
The VT-RNSII uses the company's patented, proven Color Highlight system which delivers superior solder joint illumination by providing 3-dimensional information from a 2-dimensional image. This Color Highlight system utilizes RGB LEDs in a dome configuration which ensures consistent inspection regardless of component angles. The 3-CCD camera used in the system enhances solder shape recognition accuracy by obtaining three times the information of a conventional 1-CCD camera.
The VT-RNSII offers high resolution of up to 10µm that supports inspection of components as small as 01005 and 12 mil pitch. Optical Character Verification capability is standard. Omron's EzTS program generation software reportedly makes it easy for anyone to create and implement initial programs tailored to the PCB in just a few minutes. The flexible VT-RNSII machine platform also includes models for paste inspection and pre-reflow component placement inspection. The VP5200 in-line, high-speed 3D solder paste inspection system completes inspection cycles two times faster than conventional models, using the highly accurate phase shift method to measure height. Simplified programming enable program generation time of less than 10 minutes, and onetouch operation through touch panel control improves operator efficiency. The VP5200 offers high accuracy and repeatability for height inspection (within 1µm) and volume inspection (within 3 percent). Available models offer horizontal resolution of 15µm or 25µm.

This past week has been dedicated to winterizing the hives (you can read the post about Winterizing Bee Hives). For the honey bees, the cooler temperatures mean clustering up to keep the queen and brood warm as well as slowing down activity for the winter…they cannot let the temperature inside the cluster fall below 64 degrees or they will go hyperthermic and perish. The bees will go into a semi- hibernation state, conserving energy, and eat through their honey stores slowly. During the winter we make regular walks to all of the hives on the property are to observe the bee hives and watch for normal bee activity, such as bees making cleansing flights. Sometimes, we will put our ear up to the back of the hive to listen the cluster buzzing…this just reassures us that the bees are still alive and doing well.
Winter is also a great time for us as beekeepers and future beekeepers to take inventory and start planning for next spring. It is also a great time to read a book, watch videos, attend bee clubs, and take online courses in preparation for the next bee season.
We have a few options to help you out. Check out the Natural Beekeeping on the School of Traditional Skills. Learn about beekeeping from the comfort of your warm home.

To help combat this fear, several U.S. and German automakers have agreed to share a common EV charger, which will re-charge a car in just 20 minutes.
Ford, GM, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, and Volkswagen are all part of the conglomerate of automakers who are contributing to the research on the proposed charger. Engineers from each company have developed this new technology, which combines one-phase AC-charging, fast three-phase AC-charging, DC-charging, and ultra-fast DC-charging to cut the charge time for most electric vehicles from hours down to as little as 20 minutes. The DC-fast charging with a Combined Charging System will be on display at the Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS26) May 6-9.
The Society of International Engineers has chosen to make this new charging method its standard and the European association of vehicle manufacturers has endorsed the technology, meaning that it will be the charging interface for new EVs beginning in 2017. According to Chrysler, “Industry-wide adoption of this system will only enhance the image of EVs and lead to greater consumer acceptance.”
The Combined Charging System is expected to be available by the end of the year, and vehicles compatible with the technology should start rolling out in 2013. | 63transportation_engineering

Everything changes for Pete when he crosses paths with not only a kindly park ranger named Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), but also a pack of loggers who work at the lumber mill in the nearby small town of Millhaven.
Grace, along with her fiancé Jack (Wes Bentley) – who owns the Millhaven lumber mill – and Jack’s young daughter Natalie (Oona Laurence), attempts to learn more about Pete; including, where he comes from and how he managed to survive all those years in the forest, alone. However, unknown to them, Pete hasn’t been on his own all this time. In fact, he has a loyal and mysterious companion whose very existence soon affects the lives of everyone around Pete; from Grace’s father (Robert Redford) – a man who enjoys telling tall tales about his experiences in the forest – to Jack’s overly-ambitious brother, Gavin (Karl Urban).
Many now-adult film goers grew up watching the original version of Pete’s Dragon: the Disney musical (released in 1977) that brings its namesake to life as a traditionally-animated character in a live-action world. Where the originalPete’s Dragon is a whimsical romp full of cartoony villains, plucky heroes, and fanciful song-and-dance numbers, the 2016 re-telling is a decidedly quieter and atmospheric take on the familiar narrative about a boy and his loyal companion – and variations on that theme (see Disney/Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur, for example). Fortunately, that approach works. Pete’s Dragon succeeds as a dramatic re-imagining of its predecessor – giving rise to a soulful modern fairy tale in the process.
As a coming of age fable, Pete’s Dragon occupies a comfortable middle-ground – offering an accessible and heartfelt story for moviegoers of all ages and preferences, but at the same time having an indie/arthouse film sensibility that brings to mind Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are. Writer/director David Lowery and his co-writer Toby Halbrooks have collaborated on multiple independently-funded short films (see their Boycrazy series) and feature-length films in the past – with Lowery having edited Shane Carruth’s Upstream Color and written/directed Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, both of which Halbrooks produced. The duo bring the same touch to Pete’s Dragon as they have to their indie work in the past, resulting in a film that feels personal and “hand-crafted” (from the lighting choices down to the editing, sparse dialogue and the scene-to-scene transitions) – even with a giant CGI dragon running and flying about throughout the entire movie.
Speaking of Elliott: Pete’s loyal friend and caretaker is not just one of the best-developed CGI characters in recent memory, he’s also just a great character in general. While Elliott is more dog-like in this version of Pete’s Dragon (from his canine nose to his green fur), he’s not just the typical “pet” with an innocent and child-like personality; he also expresses a sense of wisdom and experience befitting of a fantastical creature that has possibly been live for many, many years. The relationship between Elliott and Pete comes fully alive thanks to the efforts of young Oakes Fegley, a solid kid actor who succeeds in making you believe that his dragon pal is real (whether they’re soaring through the sky or curled up for the night together next to a dying campfire).
The naturalism of Fegley’s performance here is matched by Oona Laurence (Southpaw) as Natalie, a character who quickly finds a kindred spirit in Pete (despite their vast differences) upon their first meeting. Pete’s Dragon both takes place in the 1980s and capably taps into the spirt of the “kids on a fantasy adventure” movies released during that decade (in ways similar to and different from the recent hit Netflix series, Stranger Things) – so it’s only fitting that Pete and Natalie both serve as the heroes of the story. The adult characters in Pete’s Dragon are not as fully-developed by comparison, but their performances are uniformly strong – bringing enough humanity and depth to (for the most part) prevent the film’s grown-ups from coming off as tired stock characters.
Pete’s Dragon is further elevated by its visuals and the cinematography by Bojan Bazelli (The Ring, The Lone Ranger), creating an ethereal vision of the forests of the Pacific Northwest – “played” here primarily by real-life locations in New Zealand – as well as life in the small town of Millhaven. While the film’s beautiful scenery and convincing CGI dragon deserve to be seen for the first time on a theater screen, it’s worth noting that 3D is not a necessity – as Pete’s Dragon favors subtly immersive camera shots over the type of imagery that only truly comes alive with added depth of field. Not to mention, the film’s dimly-lit forests are lovely to behold in 2D, but become a little too dark for their own good when the filter of 3D glasses is added.
The 2016 version of Pete’s Dragon is not only good enough to stand on its own as a touching fairy tale about friendship, family, and the importance of finding magic in everyday life; it may even go on to become a Disney childhood classic for the next generation the way that the 1977 film is for older filmgoers. As a result, Pete’s Dragon makes for an excellent way to wind down the summer movie season – and serves as further evidence that the Mouse House’s live-action fairy tale re-tellings will continue to impress, so long as the storytellers behind them (in this case, people like David Lowery and Toby Halbrooks) keep on striving to find the magic that still lives within familiar stories and old ideas. | 15drama_and_film

A whale calf beached on the Gold Coast has died.
The whale washed up on Palm Beach shortly after 1:30pm.
Lifeguards, surfers and staff from the Environment Department tried to move the whale into deeper water but it died a short time later.
Gold Coast Lifeguard superintendent Peter Miller said lifeguards responded to the initial call.
"We were called to a possible whale stranding in the net off Currumbin," he said.
"We sent a jet ski out and found that there was no stranded whale there, however on returning to the base at Currumbin Alley they found a very small calf in a bit of distress right near Currumbin Rock and it ended up beaching itself on the Palm Beach side of Currumbin Creek." | 45ocean_science

Teleradiology Solutions Co-Founder Sunita Maheshwari was invited by the US Consul to be a part of a select group of India-based entrepreneurs to meet Obama and share their experiences of innovative US-Indian business partnerships, a company release said here today.
When Maheshwari told Obama that they cover the night shift of a 100 US hospitals from Bangalore and use technology to deliver health care globally, he said "That is incredible, keep up the great work".
Teleradiology Solutions CEO and innovator Arjun Kalyanpur said: "It was a real honour for our company to be chosen to meet the President of the United States. We are proud to have created a high quality innovative healthcare organisation that India can be proud of."
Teleradiology Solutions has provided teleradiology services (i.E. CT, MRI, X-ray reports) to over three million patients globally -- in the United States (100 hospitals), Singapore (11 hospitals), Canada, Puerto Rico, Croatia, Georgia, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany and the Maldives.

After being formed in 2020 it has managed to build up a large following. It is owned and operated by TechSolutions which is based in Cyprus. It currently has a licence from the Government of Curacao, so it is regulated which helps to keep players safe. From the initial impressions, this certainly seems like a site that has a lot of promise.
The software developers that are available at Bizzo Casino are fantastic. It has one of the best selections on the market at the moment with more than 50 different software providers on offer. This means that the game selection is one of the best around. Yggdrasil, Quickspin, Amatic and Playtech are just some of the fantastic providers that can be accessed at Bizzo Casino.
In terms of mobile gaming, Bizzo Casino makes sure that players have access to a fantastic mobile site. It is available through mobile browsers which means that the majority of devices are able to easily access what the site has to offer. It has great screen scaling so that all visuals look fantastic on the smaller screen without any blurring. It doesn’t take a long time to load which means you can get fast access to any game you want to play.
Bizzo Casino doesn’t have a mobile app. It might seem like a big problem to some people, but with the mobile site allowing access to the majority of players it really isn’t a huge deal. The game choice is vast on the mobile site, so an app wouldn’t really be able to improve on what’s offered by much.
The welcome bonus at Bizzo Casino is split up across the first three deposits that players make.
The first deposit has a 100% matched bonus of up to $100 and 100 free spins that can be used on Dig Digger or Mechanical Clover.
The second deposit has a 50% matched bonus of up to $300 and 50 free spins that can be used on Johnny Cash or Elvis Frog in Vegas.
The third deposit has a 50% matched bonus of up to $200 and 100 free spins that can be used on The Magic Cauldron - Enchanted Brew.
The wagering requirements are set at 40 times the bonus amount at Bizzo Casino. This is pretty much in line with the average for the market and it is certainly lower than what some casinos require. It means that if players receive a bonus of $300 then they would have to make wagers of $12,000 before a withdrawal could be made.
The choice of different software developers means that Bizzo Casino has an absolutely fantastic selection of video slots available to players. There are well over 500 different video slots to enjoy here and there are some top class titles to play. Some of the most popular games around can be enjoyed as well as some hidden gems. It’s definitely a superb choice of slot games. Take a look at some of the top titles to try out at Bizzo Casino:
- Wolf Treasure
- Dig Digger
- Caishen’s Fortune
- Viking Hero
- Hand of Gold
- Book of Doom
Of course if you want to try something different to video slots then Bizzo Casino also has a great range there to enjoy as well. Australian players can enjoy some of the best Blackjack, Baccarat and Roulette titles on the market. If you’re a fan of table games then this is definitely the place for you. What is so good about the table game choice is that players are able to play different rule variants in order to find the game that suits their playstyle the most.
The one really big downside to Bizzo Casino is that it doesn’t offer a lot of live dealer casino games. This is a genre of game that is hugely popular with players at the moment, so by missing this out of the selection it certainly diminishes what would have been one of the best game selections on the market.
In terms of payment methods, Bizzo Casino has a superb selection. Players are able to make payments with a lot of different choices. This includes the traditional methods that most online casinos offer, such as debit cards and bank transfers, but it also covers e-wallets as well. What really helps Bizzo Casino to stand out is that there are also crypto payments available. It means that there is pretty much every selection available to be used here.
Customer support is excellent at Bizzo Casino. Players can use the integrated email form, email addresses or through the live chat. It means that there are a number of different options to choose, which ensures all players can get a resolution to any problems that might occur. It’s also available 24/7 so no matter when you might have an issue it can be attended to.
Bizzo Casino provides a superb online casino experience to Aussie players. The payment methods that are offered are some of the most comprehensive on the market, which makes sure that any player is able to access what Bizzo has to offer. It has a huge range of different software providers so if you want to find some different style of games to try, you have a good chance of doing so here. The customer support is also at a very high level which ensures that players always get any help they need. In terms of the welcome bonus, players also have access to a good range of bonuses with some of the lower wagering requirements on the market offered.
The only real negative to Bizzo Casino is that there are limited live dealer casino games to enjoy. This is a bit of an issue as live dealer titles are some of the most popular games around at the moment. However, if you’re not a huge fan of live dealer games then this won’t be an issue, but if you do enjoy these games then it would be worth looking into other sites. On the whole Bizzo Casino is a good site to play at. It still achieves a good score even though it lost 2 points for the lack of live dealer games. 7/10.
- Massive range of different software providers
- Promotions offer a lot of free spins
- Massive selection of casino games to enjoy
- Not much live dealer casino games available | 24game

These turtles make a great pet for an older child who might have the patience to care for them.
You must be sure that if you are going to buy a striped mud turtle, that you need to have an intermediate knowledge of animal care. This animal needs both land and water, so make sure that you have enough space for it to roam around.
If you provoke this animal, it does tend to bite you with its sharp beak. This can easily slice through your finger, so when handling it, make sure to place your hands near the bottom end. However, these creatures are very low maintenance and will eat and drink themselves.
But where can you find one of these creatures? How much food will your turtle need? How fast will it grow and can you be sure that it will fit into your enclosure? How many of these creatures are left in the wild? When do they breed? Are they suitable for a family pet? How much will it cost to keep one of these animals?
Well, if you want to know the answers to these questions and more, then you should read on. We give you all the info you need for this critter, from breeding to feeding to lifespan. After reading this article, you’ll be able to consider yourself a veritable expert in the striped mud turtle.
Male Vs. Female
This turtle has a very unique oval shape that you can easily spot from 20 paces. Like a lot of turtles of this breed, the female is twice the size of the male. The male striped mud turtle is around 5 inches in length, while the female can grow up to 10, even 11 inches in length.
The females have a much larger head than the males, with a brown outer carapace that helps it blend in with the muddy banks that breed, fights and sleeps in. It has a darker brown/green body that also helps it camouflage.
The carapace of this turtle is a kind of olive-brown and the shape of it is much more oval than some other breeds of turtle. This creature has much longer legs that also help it to wade through the thick mud. The females have long claws that help them excavate mud for when they lay their eggs.
The female turtles have larger heads and stripes on the back that might not be visible in certain lighting situations.
As a Pet
This turtle is very timid and can snap at you if you don’t handle it properly. We would recommend that you stick near the bottom end of this turtle, as it can give you a nasty nip on the fingers.
This creature is very low maintenance. If you keep it in an outdoor enclosure, all you have to do is make sure that it gets a regular stream of insects. This turtle will eat ground beef, fish and dog food. However, it is always good to make it catch around 50% of its own food.
In captivity, this turtle can live up to 50 years and has been stated to last around 40 years in the wild. This is because in the wild this creature is susceptible to a lot more predators. The females tend to live a lot longer than the males, on average of around 45 years.
This turtle has developed its unique shell to escape predators. It can retreat quickly into it if it feels like it is under threat, although most of the time it would prefer to run away from a predator before going into its shell.
This turtle has a high sensitivity to the chemical content of its water, so make sure that you check the Ph level of the water before introducing your turtle to its enclosure.
This turtle will want to start breeding around late spring and early summer, through the months of Aril through until July. The males will often become much more aggressive during these months, so if you are raising a few in captivity, you should try and keep them away from each other.
The female striped mud turtle will lay around 1-4 eggs during the summer and early autumn season. The hatchling will be active as soon as they hatch, from around mid-October.
The female will lay around 3 clutches of these eggs around the year, depositing them in sandy, loamy soil and covering them up to protect them from predators. The eggs tend to incubate for 76 days, although this can depend on the temperature.
This turtle will grow very quickly and will be near a full adult after around 1 year. The males are more sexually active than the female, usually reaching their peak sexual maturity after around 3 years.
In captivity, you can expect these turtles to last you around 50 years. These make great family companions and will be around right up until your children are adults. We would recommend that you add some food artificially into your turtle’s cage, even if they are in an outdoor enclosure where insects and plants are in abundance.
This turtle is not considered to be too endangered, although changes to this animal’s habitat are slowly reducing its numbers. Pet hunting is also another reason that these turtles are being reduced in number, however, conservationists are making efforts to increase the number of these turtles.
Another reason for the decimation of the striped mud turtle is because they are often hidden under the leaves and mud. This means that they are often not seen by hikers and get stepped on.
The turtles are omnivores and they will eat anything from algae to worms to small fish that swim around in the bottom of river beds. They are also known to eat large snails. This is the main source of the turtle’s protein.
They will eat dark greens such as salad and lettuce, so you should make sure that it gets a healthy supply of this every day if you are raising it in captivity.
Common predators of this animal in the wild are alligators, herons and fish crows. These animals are often poached by humans to be used as pets. There are also large fish such as bass that will occasionally make a lunge for the striped mud turtle if it is too near the river bank.
This turtle does not go that far, preferring to wallow around in the mud for hours at a time. You should make sure that your enclosure has at least 4 x 4 feet of space.
This animal is susceptible to parasites. You should take it to the vet regularly to check that none have burrowed under the skin. Treatable diseases are ear infections, intestinal parasites and metabolic bone issues.
These turtles have brown eyes, although the females have been said to have slightly more yellow in them.
These turtles have adapted to survive in the hotter weather, although they will become less active if the weather gets colder. This is not the same as hibernation that mammals do, as there is no reduction in heart rate.
Can They Swim?
These turtles are not fond of swimming as some other breeds of turtles, although they do occasionally enter the water to hunt for small fish. You can often find this animal in the mud trying to keep cool or hunting through the leaves for insects and small frogs.
If you have an enclosure you’ll need to make sure that you have both land and water available, as the striped mud turtles like to alternate between the two. We would recommend that you also find some shaded area and leaves, as this turtle is not as prone to basking as other species.
You can expect to buy this turtle for as much as $50 at your local pet store. However, they are not as common as some of the other turtles that you can find. Make sure that you have at least $30 a month put aside for the turtle’s maintenance, excluding veterinary bills.
- This turtle is one of the smallest of the box turtles, only growing to around 4 inches in length.
- This turtle has a rust-covered shell, which is what it uses to conceal itself from predators. | 7biology

Marcos issued Proclamation No. 302 on July 25, declaring the second week of August as Philippine Space Week, coinciding with the anniversary of the Philippine Space Act of 2019, which created the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA).
The proclamation said there is a need to “promote space awareness, celebrate the significant contributions of Filipinos worldwide in the field of space science, and espouse the value, benefits, and impacts of space science and technology applications on the lives of Filipinos.”
The PhilSA, which is tasked to lead the country’s space development and utilization program, will identify the programs and activities for the annual observance, which will include public lectures, exhibits, workshops, competitions, and other events.
The proclamation also enjoined all government agencies, local government units, academic institutions, private sector, and civil society organizations to participate in and support the celebration of Philippine Space Week.
The Philippines aims to become a space-capable and space-faring nation in the next decade, with a vision of enhancing national security, fostering economic development, advancing scientific research and innovation, and preserving Filipino culture and identity through space science and technology.
The country has already launched two microsatellites, Diwata-1 and Diwata-2, and a cube satellite, Maya-1, into orbit with the help of foreign partners. It is also developing its own satellite bus platform, MULA (Multi-mission Unmanned Low Altitude), which can be used for various applications such as disaster management, agriculture, forestry, and maritime security.
PhilSA Director General Joel Joseph Marciano Jr. said the agency is also working on establishing a national spaceport, developing a space industry ecosystem, enhancing human capital development and international cooperation, and promoting space education and awareness among Filipinos.
He said the Philippine Space Week will be an opportunity to showcase the country’s achievements and aspirations in space science and technology, as well as to inspire more Filipinos to pursue careers and interests in this field. | 3astronomy

Living Bread not Living Dead
Romans 5:6-8 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
One of the great moments of the television show The Walking Dead comes in Episode Two when a bunch of survivors are trapped in a building by what seems to be the entire zombie population of post-zompocalyptic Atlanta, GA. The zombies know they are in the building and it is just a matter of time before numbers and brute force overcome the locked doors and meager defenses.
Our hero, Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes, figures out that the zombies distinguish zombie from delicious non-zombie (plausibility awaits another day to make her debut) by their sense of smell. An escape vehicle is spotted a couple of blocks away but the zombie horde is between it and the survivors. How, then, is one to survive for the rest of Season 1 and make a go at Season 2? Easy. Chop up a zombie that has already been dispatched, smear the grime all over yourself, pretend like you are a zombie, and walk through the zombie foot traffic to the escape vehicle. And you thought your day was stressful.
The serious and genuinely moving part comes here. After procuring said dispatched zombie, Grimes is about to begin the “operation” and stops himself. He looks over the corpse and takes the zombie’s wallet out of its back pocket. “Wayne Dunlap… Georgia license… born 1979. He had 28 dollars in his pocket when he died… and a picture of a pretty girl… ‘With love, Rachel.’ He used to be like us… worried about bills, or the rain, or the Superbowl… If I ever find my family, I’m going to tell them about Wayne.”
There is something profoundly Christian and humane about this scene. It is very different from the nihilistic Woody Harrelson-like approach of other zombie shows and movies that bludgeon without reflection on what might be the story of the bludgeoned. Grimes, in a more self-aware fashion, recognizes its inability to do anything contrary to the condition in which it finds itself. He has compassion and gives Wayne Dunlap the eulogy he never had. All to a zombie that posed risk to life and limb a few hours earlier.
This is quite a good analogy for God’s “justification of the ungodly” (Rom. 4:5) in that it helps us understand God’s understanding of us. In my last post, we see that our wills are bound and not free. They are bound to tilt at God in an effort to establish our own deity and mastery over our domain. This works itself out in relational dysfunction and self-defeat as layered and complex as human psychology itself. You know it is true because this is what wakes you up at 3 o’clock in the morning.
But God does not wait for the embedded kinks and taint to be kicked out before loving the sinner and providing for her justification. God understands your bondage and self-destruction. And the love light is unfettered. This is an insight that does not need to delude itself or force compartmentalization. “… while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” For all of us zombies. | 10christianity

Potassium sparing diuretics
Diuretics are medications that act on the kidneys to increase production of urine, and to eliminate water, certain metabolic wastes, and electrolytes from the body.
There are 5 main types of diuretics; carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, osmotic diuretics, thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics, loop diuretics,, and last but not least, potassium sparing diuretics - which is the only class of diuretic that retains potassium, rather than wasting it.
Now, the basic unit of the kidney is called a nephron, and each nephron is made up of a glomerulus,, which filters the blood. The filtered content then goes through the renal tubule, where excess waste, and molecules, such as ions and water, are removed or filtered through an exchange between the tubule and the peritubular capillaries.
So the renal tubule plays a huge role in secretion and reabsorption of fluid and ions - such as sodium, potassium, and chloride - in order to maintain homeostasis - or the balance of fluid and ions in our body. The renal tubule has a few segments of its own: the proximal convoluted tubule, the U-shaped loop of Henle, with a thin descending, a thin ascending limb, and a thick ascending limb, and finally, the distal convoluted tubule, which empties into the collecting duct, which collects the urine.
Different kinds of diuretics act on different segments of the renal tubule.
Now, potassium sparing diuretics act on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Here, there are principal cells and α-intercalated cells dispersed amongst the tubule cells. The principal cell has two pumps on the apical surface, an ATP-dependent potassium pump that pushes potassium into the tubule, and an epithelial sodium channel pump, called ENaC for short, that pulls sodium into the cell. There’s also a Na/K ATPase pump on the basolateral surface that again moves 2 potassium ions into the cell for every 3 sodium ions out.
Now, the alpha intercalated cells mainly get rid of hydrogen ions from the blood, and they use two pumps on their apical surface for this. First, they have a H+/ATPase which uses ATP to pump hydrogen into the tubule. Second, they have a hydrogen potassium ATPase (H+K+ATPase) which uses ATP to push 1 hydrogen into the tubule in exchange for 1 potassium.
Sodium and potassium levels in alpha intercalated cells are also controlled by Na/K ATPase pumps on the basolateral surface, which move two potassium ions into the cell and three sodium ions out of the cell.
Now the reabsorption and secretion of these molecules in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct are hormonally regulated by aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone made in the adrenal cortex.
In the principal cells, aldosterone diffuses across the basolateral membrane and binds to a mineralocorticoid receptor in the cytoplasm. Then the aldosterone-receptor complex gets inside the nucleus of the cell where it triggers the increased synthesis of ENaCs, ATP-dependent potassium pumps, and the Na-K ATPase transporters.
Together, they work to increase sodium reabsorption into the blood and potassium secretion into the urine. In the alpha intercalated cells, Aldosterone increases the synthesis of hydrogen potassium ATPase to increase H+ secretion.
Now, potassium sparing diuretics come in two flavors according to their mechanism of action: first, we’ve got those that directly inhibit the aldosterone receptor like spironolactone and eplerenone, then we have medications that indirectly inhibit the effects of aldosterone by blocking the ENaC channels on the cell membrane, like amiloride and triamterene.
This decreases the level of sodium inside the principle cells which decreases the action of the Na+/K+ ATPase on the basolateral membrane. However, at the end of the day, both categories have the same effect; first, they increase the excretion of sodium, and since water flows where the sodium goes, they also increase water loss through the urine. Next, they decrease the excretion of hydrogen and potassium, hence the name, potassium sparing.
Ok, so the major indication for diuretics is for the management of hypertension and edematous states. These medications increase sodium and water loss through the urine, which leads to decreased plasma volume and cardiac output, resulting in lower blood pressure.
This also treats edematous states like pulmonary edema or ascites where fluid builds up in the extracellular space. Potassium sparing diuretics are usually pretty weak, so they are used in combination with other diuretics, like loop or thiazides that would normally cause renal potassium wasting and hypokalemia. The addition of a potassium sparing diuretic increases the reabsorption of potassium in the final stretches of the renal tubule, and therefore reduces potassium loss.
Aldosterone receptor antagonists like spironolactone and eplerenone are also useful in hyperaldosteronism. Hyperaldosteronism can be primary, meaning too much aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex itself; like with Conn syndrome, or when a tumor secretes too much ACTH, which then tells the adrenal cortex to make too much aldosterone.
Hyperaldosteronism can also be secondary, when high levels of aldosterone result from the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This is typically due to low plasma volume, because too much fluid “escapes” to the extracellular space, leading to edema.
Also, aldosterone receptor antagonists have been proven to reduce mortality after a myocardial infarction, presumably because they reduce the rate of remodelling in the heart.
Finally, spironolactone can also bind to androgen receptors and prevent testosterone from binding. This makes it useful for blunting the effects of testosterone in the body, like in polycystic ovarian syndrome, where there are many cysts on the ovaries that secrete excess testosterone. This can result in symptoms like infertility, hair loss, acne, and hirsutism, or unwanted facial hair growth in women. | 39medical

This paper shows that a program using a time-predictable memory system for data storage can achieve a similar worst-case execution time (WCET) to the average-case execution time (ACET) using a conventional heuristic-based memory system including a data cache. This result is useful within any embedded system where time-predictability and performance are both important, particularly hard real-time systems carrying out intensive data processing activities. It is a counter-example to the conventional wisdom that time-predictable means “slow” in comparison to ACET-focused heuristics. To carry out the investigation, 36 “memory access models” are derived from benchmark programs and assumed to be representative of typical code. The models generate LOAD/STORE instructions to exercise a data cache or scratchpad memory management unit (SMMU). The ACET is determined for the data cache and the WCET is determined for the SMMU. After improvements are applied, results show that the SMMU WCET is within 5% of the data cache ACET for 34 models. In 16 of 36 cases, the SMMU WCET is better than the data cache ACET. | 60systems_science

Symbolism is the most powerfully used technique due to the fact a good number of lines located in this poem is used to signify a certain object or idea related to our life or today’s world. Imagery is significant in drawing out the theme for the reason that it allows the reader to construct a depiction in their mind, permitting them to relate more to the poem and interpret the theme their own way. In this poem, imagery permits the reader to imagine the scene that this poem takes place in resulting in an enhanced understanding of the theme. The tone this work presents is an insecure attitude which allows the theme to be brought out due to the fact the theme relates to a dilemma in one’s life. As seen by the reader, these techniques strongly aid in the revealing of this specific theme.
The first technique Frost utilizes to uncover the theme is the strongest method, symbolism. Exploiting symbolism is used by containing objects in the poem that represent an article of something relevant in the reader’s life; therefore, assisting in the presentation of the theme. The primarily symbolized object in this poem is the fork in the road, which is the basis of the theme. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, /And sorry I could not travel both / And be one traveler, long I stood / And looked down one as far as I could / To where it bent in the undergrowth” (Frost. 1-5).
Symbolically speaking, Robert Frost does a proficient job of transforming a seemingly common road to one of great importance, representing a decision that could lead one in two separate directions. The resolution the traveler comes upon may possibly affect his or her life; therefore, stressing the importance of decision making. The following symbolic element is the quality of the courses the voyager encounters. The earlier path is worn down | 35literature

Fallen Angels (1995, Wong Kar-Wai)
Originally planned as the third segment of Chungking Express (1994) this feels more episodic and thrown together than the earlier film but it gets better with every viewing. A lonely hitman (Leon Lai) half-heartedly carries out contract killings while considering leaving the game, his fixer (Michelle Reis) has feelings for him, while a sweet but crazy mute (Takeshi Kaneshiro) breaks into businesses at night and takes them over. Fallen Angels works as a summation of themes developed through Kar-Wai’s career at that point finding room even for the heroic bloodshed of his debut As Tears Go By (1987) in amongst the now familiar neon-lit yearning and romantic despair. The Blu-ray includes an entertaining interview with director of photography Chris Doyle which ends with the Heineken fuelled cinematographer lying face down on the bar.
This Must Be the Place (2011, Paolo Sorrentino)
Sorrentino’s English language debut is a genuine oddity. Sean Penn stars as a burnt out Robert Smith-type rock star who leads a reclusive life in Ireland until news of his father’s imminent death sends him on a quest to find a Nazi war criminal. Taking it’s name from a Talking Heads song and featuring a beautifully filmed performance by the band This Must Be the Place plays like a Wim Wenders road movie with a sense of humour. Decent features as well with two versions of the film, the UK theatrical release and the original cut shown at Cannes.
Barbarella (1968, Roger Vadim)
Never paid much attention to Vadim until I saw his haunting vampire movie Blood and Roses (1960) last year which made me reassess his work and my view of him as being nothing more than a French caricature who liked to shag his leading ladies. Barbarella is beautifully designed by Mario Garbuglia and has a distinctly pop art 60’s sensibility which is always welcome. Jane Fonda is the perfect mixture of naivety and sex kitten in the leading role and Milo O’ Shea is reliably dodgy. Sadly this Blu-ray is vanilla flavoured.
Outpost II: Black Sun (2012, Steve Barker)
Watchable sequel to Scottish production company Black Camel’s entertaining Nazi/zombie flick Outpost (2009). This time around a Nazi-hunter (Catherine Steadman) finds herself at the Outpost and stumbling into an advancing battalion of Undead SS soldiers. Richard Coyle (Grabbers) co-stars as a expert in Nazi antiquities whose interest in her may be more than professional. While the first film trapped a group of tough mercenaries in the claustrophobic atmosphere of an abandoned bunker ‘Black Sun’ opens out the action which makes the limited budget more obvious but credit to director Barker and his team for making the best of it. There’s a standard making of documentary on the Blu-ray and that’s about it. Apparently there’s a third Outpost movie due out next year though.
Walkabout (1971, Nic Roeg)
Interesting watching this after seeing Roeg and his screenwriter Allan Scott a few years ago at a Director’s Cut event at the University of Aberdeen talking about working on Walkabout. The original screenplay was fourteen pages long and the studio made them pad it out to ease the concerns of the investors. Storywise the film is simple enough, a teenage girl (Jenny Agutter) and her younger brother are lost in the Outback after their father commits suicide. A kindly Aborigine (David Gulpilil) boy guides them and eventually falls in love with the girl though she rejects him. Yet Roeg uses imagery, editing, and subjective viewpoints to craft a story about the end of innocence, the emptiness of modern life, and perhaps of existence too. Universal have done great work on their centenary Blu-ray releases this year but sadly Walkabout didn’t feature on their list. | 41movie

The manufactured sand must have professional equipment to produce qualified sand and gravel.
Basic introduction of Sand Process Plant
The Sand Process Plant is composed of vibrating feeder, jaw crusher, sand making machine, vibrating screen and belt conveyor. According to different technological requirements, various types of equipment are combined to meet the different technological requirements of customers.
Basic process of Sand Process Plant
First of all, the stone is crushed preliminarily by the crusher, and then the coarse material is conveyed by the belt conveyor to the fine crusher for further crushing. After the fine crushed stone is fed into the vibrating screen, two kinds of stones are screened out, which meet the granularity of the sand-making machine, and the other part is fed back into the fine crushing.
Some of the stones of the sand making machine are made into sand, which is washed by the sand washing machine and then made into finished sand. The other part of the sand making machine is broken again.
Introduction to linear production of Sand Process Plant
The Sand Process Plant of our company has high automation, low operation cost, high crushing rate, energy saving, large output, less pollution, easy maintenance, and the manufactured sand produced by the Sand Process Plant fully conforms to the national standard of building sand, with uniform granularity, good granularity and reasonable gradation.
Characteristics of manufactured sand
1. Ruggedness and durability test. The hardness of manufactured sand is slightly worse than that of natural sand, but it still meets the standard of GB / T 141684293. There is no problem in the use of ordinary concrete. In addition to admixtures, the ratio of lime to sand, the crushing index of sand and the content of stone powder should be controlled.
2. The influence of machine-made aggregate content on the properties of cement mixture. Through cement test, mortar test and concrete test, there is no great difference between concrete made of manufactured sand and natural sand. Generally speaking, under the premise of the same slump, the water consumption of manufactured sand is slightly larger, but it should be considered according to the construction conditions, structure and transportation factors. However, the strength of concrete is basically unchanged; when making special concrete such as pumping concrete with manufactured sand, we should pay attention to the sand rate should not be too high to prevent the reduction of concrete strength and durability and other engineering quality.
In the process of Engineering construction, sand and stone as an important component of concrete structure materials, its quality has a decisive impact on the quality and durability of the whole project. On the premise of satisfying the performance index of sand, it is not only feasible to meet the construction quality requirement, but also to effectively control the production cost to select an economical and feasible scheme. Thus, in areas where natural sand resources are scarce, it is not only feasible to produce high-quality manufactured sand by using high-efficiency counter-impact crusher or impact crusher for concrete construction and production. And its comprehensive benefits are also significant. At the same time, in the use of manufactured sand, we can also carry out research and experiment in the discipline of building materials, accumulate experience, and lay the foundation for the development of the discipline.
manufactured sand and stone production line is the preferred equipment for the reuse of waste tailings resources. It is highly concerned by the tailings treatment industry. Tailings treatment is not difficult. It is important to have advanced equipment and policy guidance. Therefore, in order to further improve the development and utilization of tailings resources, the following measures can be taken:
First, technological innovation in comprehensive utilization of tailings should be strengthened, and advanced technologies, equipment and processes should be developed to speed up the transformation of research results.
Second, it is necessary to manage the funds well, and to sign the key contracts for the utilization of tailings and "waste residues" in large enterprises and large mining areas. | 40mining_engineering

|Alice in Wonderland syndrome|
|Other names||Todd's syndrome, Lilliputian hallucinations, dysmetropsia|
|The perception a person can have due to micropsia, a potential symptom of dysmetropsia. From Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|
|Symptoms||Micropsia (disoriented perception on objects)|
|Usual onset||Before, during, or after a migraine|
|Duration||Each symptom is separate and will only occur for a 20-to-50-minute period of time.|
Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), also known as Todd's syndrome or dysmetropsia, is a neuropsychological condition that distorts perception. People may experience distortions in visual perception such as micropsia (objects appearing small), macropsia (objects appearing large), pelopsia (objects appearing to be closer than they are), or teleopsia (objects appearing to be further away than they are). Size distortion may occur in other sensory modalities as well.
Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) is often associated with migraines, brain tumors, and psychoactive drug use. It can also be the initial symptom of the Epstein–Barr virus (see mononucleosis). AiWS can be caused by abnormal amounts of electrical activity resulting in abnormal blood flow in the parts of the brain that process visual perception and texture.
Anecdotal reports suggest that the symptoms of mononucleosis, commonly occur as AiWS in childhood, with many people growing out of it in their teen years. It appears that AiWS is also a common experience at sleep onset and has been known to commonly arise due to a lack of sleep.
Signs and symptoms
AiWS affects the sense of vision, sensation, touch, and hearing, as well as one's own body image. Migraines, nausea, dizziness, and agitation are also commonly associated symptoms with Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.
Individuals with AIWS can experience hallucinations or illusions of expansion, reduction or distortion of their own body image, such as microsomatognosia (feeling that their own body or body parts are shrinking), or macrosomatognosia (feeling that their body or body parts are growing taller or larger). These changes in perception are collectively known as metamorphosias, or Lilliputian hallucinations.
People with certain neurological diseases have experienced similar visual hallucinations. These hallucinations are called "Lilliputian", which means that objects appear either smaller or larger than reality.
Patients may experience either micropsia or macropsia. Micropsia is an abnormal visual condition, usually occurring in the context of visual hallucination, in which the affected person sees objects as being smaller than they are in reality. Macropsia is a condition where the individual sees everything larger than it actually is.
One 17-year-old boy described his odd symptoms by the following: "Quite suddenly objects appear small and distant or large and close. I feel as [if] I am getting shorter and smaller 'shrinking' and also the size of persons are not longer than my index finger (a lilliputian proportion). Sometimes I see the blind in the window or the television getting up and down, or my leg or arm is swinging. I may hear the voices of people quite loud and close or faint and far. Occasionally, I experience attacks of migrainous headache associated with eye redness, flashes of lights and a feeling of giddiness. I am always conscious to the intangible changes in myself and my environment".
Although a person's vision is not affected, they will often 'see' objects as the incorrect size, shape or perspective angle. Therefore, people, cars, buildings, houses, animals, trees, environments, etc., look smaller or larger than they should be. Further, depth perception can be altered whereby perceived distances are incorrect. For example, a corridor may appear to be very long, or the ground may appear too close.
Zoopsias is an additional hallucination that is sometimes associated with Alice in Wonderland syndrome. Zoopsias involves hallucinations of either swarms of small animals (e.g. ants and mice etc.), or isolated groups of larger animals (e.g. dogs and elephants etc.). This experience of zoopsias is shared in a variety of conditions, such as delirium tremens.
The person affected by Alice in Wonderland syndrome may also lose a sense of time, a problem similar to the lack of spatial perspective. Time seems to pass very slowly, akin to an LSD experience. The lack of time and space perspective also leads to a distorted sense of velocity. For example, one could be inching along ever so slowly in reality, yet it would seem as if one were sprinting uncontrollably along a moving walkway, leading to severe, overwhelming disorientation.
Sufferers of Alice in Wonderland syndrome can often experience paranoia as a result of disturbances in sound perception. This can include amplification of soft sounds or misinterpretation of common sounds.
In addition, some people may, in conjunction with a high fever, experience more intense and overt hallucinations, seeing things that are not there and misinterpreting events and situations. Less frequent symptoms sometimes described in Alice in Wonderland syndrome patients include loss of limb control and dis-coordination, memory loss, lingering touch and sound sensations, and emotional instability.
It has been noted that patients are often reluctant to describe their symptoms due to fear of being labeled with a psychiatric disorder. It is usually easy to rule out psychosis as those with Alice in Wonderland syndrome are typically aware that their hallucinations and distorted perceptions are not 'real', and they have not lost touch with reality. Furthermore, younger patients who frequently experience Alice in Wonderland syndrome may struggle to describe their unusual symptoms, and thus, it is recommended to encourage children to draw their visual illusions during episodes.
It appears that the symptoms of AiWS do not change in severity over the course of the syndrome, and though the symptoms may acutely impact the patient's life, Alice in Wonderland syndrome typically resolves itself within weeks or months. Furthermore, AiWS symptoms occur transiently during the day for short periods of time, with most patients describing their symptoms as lasting anywhere between 10 seconds to 10 minutes. This, combined with the typically short duration of the syndrome, suggests that Alice in Wonderland syndrome typically causes a relatively short-term disruption of normal functioning.
While there currently is no identified genetic locus/loci associated with Alice in Wonderland syndrome, observations suggest that a genetic component does exist. AiWS does appear to be passed on from parent to child, with one case study showcasing a grandmother, mother, son, and daughter all with Alice in Wonderland syndrome. In addition, there is an established hereditary trait of migraines. Examples of environmental influences on the incidence of AiWS include the use of the drug topiramate and potentially the dietary intake of tyramine. Further research is required to establish the genetic and environmental influences on Alice in Wonderland syndrome.
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland syndrome was named after Lewis Carroll's famous 19th-century novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In the story, Alice, the title character, experiences numerous situations similar to those of micropsia and macropsia. The thorough descriptions of metamorphosis clearly described in the novel were the first of their kind to depict the bodily distortions associated with the condition. Speculation has arisen that Carroll may have written the story using his own direct experience with episodes of micropsia resulting from the numerous migraines he was known to suffer from. It has also been suggested that Carroll may have suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy.
Alice in Wonderland syndrome's symptom of micropsia has also been related to Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. It has been referred to as "Lilliput sight" and "Lilliputian hallucination", a term coined by British physician Raoul Leroy in 1909, based on the small people that inhabited the island of Lilliput in the novel.
Complete and partial forms of the Alice in Wonderland syndrome exist in a range of disorders, including epilepsy, intoxicants, infectious states, fevers, and brain lesions. Furthermore, the syndrome is commonly associated with migraines, as well as the use of psychoactive drugs. It can also be the initial symptom of the Epstein–Barr virus (see mononucleosis), and a relationship between the syndrome and mononucleosis has been suggested. Epstein–Barr virus appears to be the most common cause in children, while for adults it is more commonly associated with migraines.
AiWS can be caused by abnormal amounts of electrical activity causing abnormal blood flow in the parts of the brain that process visual perception and texture. Nuclear medical techniques using technetium, performed on patients during episodes of Alice in Wonderland syndrome, have demonstrated that AiWS is associated with reduced cerebral perfusion in various cortical regions (frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital), both in combination and in isolation. It has been hypothesized that any condition resulting in a decrease in perfusion of the visual pathways or visual control centers of the brain may be responsible for the syndrome. For example, one study used single photon emission computed tomography to demonstrate reduced cerebral perfusion in the temporal lobe in patients with AiWS. Other theories exist that suggest the syndrome is a result of unspecific cortical dysfunction (e.g. from encephalitis, epilepsy, decreased cerebral perfusion), or reduced blood flow to other areas of the brain. Other theories suggest that disordered body image perceptions stem from within the parietal lobe. This has been demonstrated by the production of disturbances of body image through electrical stimulation of the posterior parietal cortex. Other researchers suggest that metamorphopsias may be a result of reduced perfusion of the non-dominant posterior parietal lobe during migraine episodes.
Throughout all the neuroimaging studies, several cortical regions (including the temporoparietal junction within the parietal lobe, and the visual pathway, specifically the occipital lobe) are associated with the development of Alice in Wonderland syndrome symptoms.
The role of migraines in Alice in Wonderland syndrome is still not understood, but both vascular and electrical theories have been suggested. For example, visual distortions may be a result of transient, localized ischaemia (an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body) in areas of the visual pathway during migraine attacks. In addition, a spreading wave of depolarization of cells (particularly glial cells) in the cerebral cortex during migraine attacks can eventually activate the trigeminal nerve's regulation of the vascular system. The intense cranial pain during migraines is due to the connection of the trigeminal nerve with the thalamus and thalamic projections onto the sensory cortex. Alice in Wonderland syndrome symptoms can precede, accompany, or replace the typical migraine symptoms.
Alice in Wonderland syndrome is a disturbance of perception rather than a specific physiological change to the body's systems. The diagnosis can be presumed when other causes have been ruled out and if the patient presents symptoms along with migraines and complains of onset during the day (although it can also occur at night). As there are no established diagnostic criteria for Alice in Wonderland syndrome, there is likely to be a large degree of variability in the diagnostic process and thus it is likely to be poorly diagnosed.
Whatever the cause, the bodily related distortions can recur several times a day and may take some time to abate. Understandably, the person can become alarmed, frightened, and panic-stricken throughout the course of the hallucinations—maybe even hurt themselves or others around them. The symptoms of the syndrome themselves are not harmful and are likely to disappear with time. The outcome is typically not harmful, especially in children, and most patients outgrow these episodes. The long-term prognosis typically depends on the root cause of the syndrome, and it is the underlying condition which must be evaluated and treated. Often, the difficulty lies within the patient's reluctance to describe their symptoms out of fear of being labeled with a psychiatric disorder.
At present, Alice in Wonderland syndrome has no standardized treatment plan. Often, treatment methods revolve around migraine prophylaxis, as well as the promotion of a low tyramine diet. Drugs that may be used to prevent migraines include: anticonvulsants, antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers. Other treatments that have been explored include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Further research is required to establish an effective treatment regime. One can also help this by getting close up and looking at things, slowly proceeding to look at things further away.
The lack of established diagnostic criteria or large-scale epidemiological studies on Alice in Wonderland syndrome means that the exact prevalence of the syndrome is currently unknown. One study on 3,224 adolescents in Japan demonstrated the occurrence of macropsia and micropsia to be 6.5% in boys and 7.3% in girls, suggesting that the symptoms of AiWS may not be so rare.
It appears that the male/female ratio is dependent on the age range being observed. Studies showed that younger males (age range of 5 to 14 years) were 2.69 times more likely to experience AiWS than girls of the same age, while there were no significant differences between students of 13 to 15 years of age. Conversely, female students (16- to 18-year-olds) showed a significantly greater prevalence.
The average age of the start of Alice in Wonderland syndrome is six but it is very normal for some to experience the syndrome from childhood to their late 20s. It is also thought that this syndrome is hereditary because many parents who have AiWS report their children having it as well.
The syndrome is sometimes called Todd's syndrome, in reference to an influential description of the condition in 1955 by Dr. John Todd (1914–1987), a British consultant psychiatrist at High Royds Hospital at Menston in West Yorkshire. Todd discovered that several of his patients experienced severe headaches causing them to see and perceive objects as greatly out of proportion. They have altered sense of time and touch, as well as distorted perceptions of their own body. Although having migraine headaches, none of these patients had brain tumors, damaged eyesight, or mental illness that could have caused similar symptoms. They were also all able to think lucidly and could distinguish hallucinations from reality, however, their perceptions were skewed.
Since Lewis Carroll had been a well-known migraine sufferer with similar symptoms, Todd speculated that Carroll had used his own migraine experiences as a source of inspiration for his famous 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Carroll's diary reveals that in 1856 he consulted William Bowman, an eminent ophthalmologist, about the visual manifestations of the migraines he regularly experienced. Since Carroll had these migraine symptoms for years before writing Alice’s Adventures, it seemed reasonable[to whom?] that Carroll had used his experiences as inspiration.

Makes 6 (first course) servings
Stir together yeast and 1/3 cup warm water in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
Stir together flour and salt with a fork in a large bowl. Make a well in center and add yeast mixture and oil. Stir in flour, then stir in as much of remaining 1/3 cup water as needed to form a firm, moist dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Put dough in cleaned large bowl and cover bowl. Let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough and divide into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a ball and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin into an 8-inch round (about 1/4 inch thick; if dough resists rolling out, let stand 1 to 2 minutes, then continue).
Preheat oven to 400F with rack in middle.
Heat a heavy medium skillet or griddle over medium-low heat until very hot, about 10 minutes. Cook rounds 1 at a time, flipping frequently to avoid scorching and to aid even cooking, until golden, about 6 minutes per round. Stack rounds and wrap in a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) to keep soft while cooling.
When rounds are cool, separate into halves by cutting into bread all around edge and gently pulling rounds apart. Sandwich cheese, arugula, prosciutto, and salt and pepper to taste between halves.
Put stuffed breads on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and cheese has melted, about 8 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
Bread can be cooked (but not stuffed and baked) 2 hours ahead and kept wrapped in a kitchen towel.

delicious! We used fontina - a good melting cheese with a nice salty tang. This was a perfect light dinner (with a salad) after a long warm spring day working in the garden.
I used baby spinach and mozzarella cheese because I had them on hand, along with some good parma prosciutto. If I make this again I will use one of the tangier cheeses suggested in the recipe. Mozzarella was a little too bland. The bread was simple to make, it took some patience to work the two halves of each round apart. This recipe was easy and simple, it just requires some time to allow for the dough to rest and rise. It was a little hard to bite through this sandwich.
We used basil instead of arugula, it was what was on hand. It has become a family favorite....
Just a quick remark re the the dough not coming together with the amount of water suggested - I'm sure you are all well practiced cooks, and therefore probably know that all flour- based pastries, breads, etc. will require more or less water or flour depending upon the humidity in the air the hour you choose to bake.
This was really good and it came together beautifully. We used baby spinach instead of arugula (spinach was $2, arugula was $8) and gruyere instead of fontina. It was overall pretty good, but I felt like it needed something else. I stirred together some grainy mustard and homemade mayonnaise, and that added a delicious extra something. It reminded me of a trip to Switzerland where we subsisted on gruyere and ham sandwiches the whole time because we couldn't afford to go out. One of the other reviewers mentioned adding tomato, which might be good, too. I'd definitely make this again.
When making the dough as suggested, by hand, the dough turns out lovely. I used King Arthur Flour and after the dough rose, it had a lovely, smooth complexion. Although the dough needed more water, it came together easily. I would make more if you are going to serve to large parties and a little thicker if you have trouble cutting with precision through bread. I thought the arugula and prosciutto melded well with the bread and eachother. I used Swiss Gruyere instead of Fontina and thought it brought a very earthy taste to the dish. This dish was <B>excellent</b> and I will use it again.
Only two - reason 1: the dough did not seem to come together with just 2/3 c. water. I used my standmixer, perhaps next time will do by hand as suggested. Reason 2: adding salt to the sandwich may be unnecesary, as the meat adds alot. Would add something like tomato (?) Will make again, perhaps with other filling ingredients. | 22food

It is time that parents pay attention to what their children do and give their best to protect them from pedophiles. mitch engel criminal lawyer is a professional lawyer who will give you advice on how to protect your children from pedophiles.
It is a fact that the police are constantly working to uncover pedophiles, but the most important thing is for the parents to monitor their children and pay attention to what they are doing on social media. Make sure you know the people they are texting, pay attention to the photos they post online. Sometimes it is very difficult to find a suspect, since they are hiding themselves behind a fake profile. They create profiles using photos of children that are the same age as the victim they want to stalk.
The most important thing is to constantly check your children’s messages and if you notice something suspicious report it to the police immediately and block them permanently. And don’t worry, even if you block them the police can gather all the information and find the person who is hiding behind that fake profile.
The only way to prevent the worst and that the child does not become a victim of a maniac is only in the active monitoring of their behavior on social networks. It is a fact that nowadays every child has a smartphone and profiles on social media. It is part of the society and we all use them as means of communication. You can prohibit to your child to create a profile on social media but as they grow up they will want to have a social media account just like their friends. We cannot fight against this. Parents therefore needs to have an open relationship with their children and not be ashamed to ask about everything even about the dangers they are exposed to when using the internet. It is necessary to know all the passwords of your children and check it constantly but without them knowing because they might get hurt.
Remember that it may take a long time for the pedophile to schedule a meeting. They will first try to talk and become friends with your child and then ask them to come at a certain place or wait for them after school. Pedophilia is a psychological defect that is very common nowadays. These people are trying to make the victim accept them as a friend first before they intend to schedule a meeting. This disorder exists in many ways, but parents can stop it if they protect their children.
Pedophilia is the worst type of crime that exists and unfortunately there are so many cases of pedophilia around the world. The best way to stop these people is to report it to the police even when you have the smallest doubt. | 54psychology

DC motors are widely used in many speed-control drives. Open-loop operation of DC motors may be satisfactory in many applications. When the load increases the speed of the motor drops and the new operating point of speed is obtained after the transient.
For getting constant speed i.e. the initial operating point the open loop does not work. So, closed-loop control system is required. The basic block diagram of closed-loop control system is shown.
If the motor speed decreases due to application of additional load torque, the speed error εN increases, which increases the control signal Ec . This in turn changes the firing angle of the converter, and thus increases the motor torque to restore the speed of the drive system.
The response of a closed –loop system can be studied by using transfer function techniques.
Separately Excited DC motor Drives
Armature voltage control is inherently a closed loop control system in DC motor drives. However, the output speed signal can not be measured and the speed error is not found properly.
This closed loop is further extended by using a feed back tachogenerator with speed controller and converter for modern control drives.
Solid State Control
DC motor speed control by solid state can be done by two methods: DC-DC Chopper control and Phasr rectifier control method.
Chopper control of Dc motor drive: (separately excited)
This is one of the simplest power-electronic/machine circuits. With a battery, it is currently the most common electric road vehicle controller. The ‘chopper‘ is also used for some d.c. rail traction applications.
The principal difference between the thyristor-controlled rectifier and the chopper is that in the former the motor current always flows through the supply, whereas in the latter, the motor current only flows from the supply terminals for part of each cycle.
The chopper may use transistor, thyristor, MOSFET or IGBT as switches.
A single-switch chopper using a thyristor can supply positive voltage and current to a DC motor, and is therefore restricted to quadrant 1 motoring operation. When regenerative and/or rapid speed reversal is called for, more complex circuitry is required, involving two or more power switches.
Vdc = V,CH1 on
Vdc = 0,CH1 off

The Blues were much better in the second half, but missed a few chances to take all three points and reduce the gap with their opponents in the table.
Chelsea have now registered seven clean sheets from nine games in all competitions under Thomas Tuchel. Although the Blues earned a vital point, they have struggled in their last two games to score goals against their opponents. Christensen, who has been enjoying a good run in the team following Thiago Silva’s injury put in a solid performance alongside Antonio Rudiger to earn a clean sheet for this team.
Speaking after the game the Denmark international admitted Chelsea were frustrated with the draw, and said “It was a good point but at the same time we’re frustrated to walk away without a win, especially after the second half.“
“We’re glad to have a clean sheet and a good point but we wanted to win. We started well in the first half and then after probably 15 minutes they took over and had most of the play.”
“We know they have qualities so we had to be careful how many players we put forward. We didn’t want to risk having to chase the rest of the game so it’s a difficult balance. They weren’t dangerous but they took over so we tried to change something at half-time and it worked well.“
“We got dangerous a couple of times and they had a great save but we probably deserved a goal. We felt quite good and comfortable. We had the chances but didn’t do enough to be dangerous even though it was a tough game.“
“We didn’t take care of the ball enough. Every time we got the ball, I wouldn’t say we stressed but we sometimes went forward too quick so we didn’t have the ball enough and got a lot of running done.”
“Whereas in the second half, we got better on the ball, played our game and got dangerous a couple of times.“
On Tuchel’s impact
Christensen admitted Chelsea have improved since Tuchel’s arrival, but insisted there are tougher tests ahead for the Blues as they try to finish in the top four. The Chelsea defender added “We’re still learning but every day it’s getting better and we get new ideas on board.“
“We’re enjoying it and we’re in good form so it’s about going into every game trying not to let that form drop and to keep winning.”
“For me personally, I’m playing games back-to-back and I haven’t had that for a while so it’s great for me. We have to chase the top four together and we have to win these games to do that. Now we have three more difficult games in a row but nothing changes for us – we go into every game trying to win.” | 24game

From an adventurous safari break in Botswana to a wintry escape in Norway, the couple has been on some pretty spectacular romantic breaks.
It's no doubt just the start for Harry and Meghan, whose roles as royals will also see them embarking on royal tours such as their upcoming visit to Australia and New Zealand later this year.
And that's not including the holidays and minibreaks the couple will inevitably be taking together throughout married life.
Plus, they'll get plenty of inspiration from the rest of the royal family's favourite holiday hotspots.
We take a look at all of Harry and Meghan's holidays and royal tours so far - and how you could have your own romantic break there on a budget.
Just four weeks after their blind date Harry whisked Meghan away for a luxury safari break, staying at the glamorous Meno a Kwena campsite overlooking the Boteti River.
Speaking to the BBC in their first joint interview, Harry said: "I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana.
"We camped out with each other under the stars. She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic."
It's no surprise that Botswana was their destination of choice; after all, the country boasts spectacular landscapes from the sweeping African plains home to exotic wildlife, to picturesque deltas and tranquil surroundings.
Of course, Harry and Meghan already share a love for Africa - so we reckon it could be on the cards for future holidays.
Thinking of a safari break of your own? Virgin Holidays has packages to the Chobe Game Lodge in the heart of Chobe National Park, right by the beautiful Okavango Delta. Enjoy a safari, take a dip in the pool or tuck into a candlelit romantic dinner for two.
The royal couple reportedly spent some time in Zambia during a three-week trip to Africa, after a stint in Botswana.
It's believed that the pair headed to visit the iconic Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the world not to mention it's home to the Devil's Pool, where swimmers can take a dip on the edge of the falls.
It's not just the Victoria Falls that attract visitors from all over the world to Zambia. The country also boasts some pretty spectacular landscapes and safari lodges, not to mention the incredible views to be found along the Zambezi River.
If you're feeling inspired, Expedia has holidays to Zambia with cheap hotels from £25 a night - or for something extra special, Kuoni offers packages including honeymoon specific offerings.
It became clear that the pair were loved-up when Harry invited Meghan along to his friend's wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica, long before they announced their engagement.
There they were photographed looking happy and relaxed together as they chatted with other guests.
During their sun-soaked getaway, the pair stayed at The Round Hill Resort in Montego Bay, according to the Daily Mail, a £5000-a-night resort with luxury cottages set in 110 acres of lush tropical gardens.
At the time of writing there is a State of Emergency in Jamaica until 2nd August 2018 so make sure to check the latest FCO travel advice before you book.
The royal couple welcomed in 2017 in style with a romantic break to Tromso, Norway - and little did they know that by the end of the year they'd be engaged and planning their wedding!
Harry and Meghan pulled out all the stops for their winter getaway on the edge of the Arctic Circle, tipped as one of the best viewing points for those wanting a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
There's loads to see and do in Tromso including husky sledging, fjord cruises, reindeer feeding and snowy hikes, so it's ideal for those who want a romantic break that's packed with adventure.
Tromvik Lodge was hotly tipped as the couple's accommodation of choice, and there's no denying it's fit for royalty thanks to its unrivalled views of the scenery, hot tub and outdoor terrace, not to mention its remote location is ideal for total privacy.
The best part is you could stay there yourself by booking a stay with Airbnb, although you'll have to dig deep with prices at £309 a night.
Okay, we know that Harry and Meghan's official visit to Cardiff was only for a day, but they gave us plenty of city break inspiration as they arrived in the Welsh capital, meeting members of the public in front of the stunning Cardiff Castle.
Never been before? Check out our Cardiff city guide for the best things to see and do for a royal tour of your own.
The couple's trip to the Irish capital marked their first overseas visit as a married couple, packed with plenty of sightseeing including Croke Park, Trinity College and The Famine Memorial.
And while Harry and Meghan had a strict two-day itinerary to stick to, you can spend a few hours exploring more of the brilliant sights around the city - check out our Dublin city guide for the highlights.
The best part is you don't need a royal budget to visit either, as there are some great cheap hotels in Dublin to be found.

The quantity E(σ,X, T0) itself depends on the choice of X; however, the infimum of E(σ,X, T0) over T0 does not. In particular, when σ bounds a compact domain ω in a time symmetric 3-slice in N and has nonnegative Brown-York quasilocal mass mBY(σ, ω), our estimates show that infT0 E(σ,X, T0) equals mBY(σ, ω). We also study the spatial limit of infT0 E(Sr,Xr, T0), where Sr is a large coordinate sphere in a fixed end of an asymptotically flat initial data set (M, g, p) and Xr is an isometric embedding of Sr into R3 ∪ R3,1. We show that if (M, g, p) has future timelike ADM energy-momentum, then lim r→∞ infT0 E(Sr,Xr, T0) equals the ADM mass of (M, g, p).

- What if it were a very large number say 757, that means that you'd have to see if it's evenly divisible by every prime number from 2 to, well half of 757? Seems like an awful lot of work :( .(88 votes)
- You only have to go up to the square root of 757. Roughly estimating, 25 squared is 625 and 30 squared is 900, so it will be in between, but since 29 is the only prime and that is too close to 30 (29 squared will be 900 - 30 - 29 = 841), we actually only need to go up to 23. So the numbers we need to check are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23.
We can tell it won't be divisible by 2 since it's not even; it won't be divisible by 3 since the digits don't sum to a multiple of 3 (https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/factors-multiples/divisibility_tests/v/the-why-of-the-3-divisibility-rule); and we know it's not divisible by 5 as it doesn't end in a 5. So that leaves us with just six numbers to check, and those we would have to check one by one, which I agree is a pain.
In fact there are also tricks to test whether something is divisible by 7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule#Divisibility_by_7) and 11 (http://www.wikihow.com/Check-Divisibility-of-11), but they require a bit more work. For 7, I would just think, if 757 were divisible by 7, then if we subtract multiples of 7 the results would have to be divisible by 7. Subtracting 7, gets us 750, subtracting 700, gets us 50 and that's not divisible by 7, so 757 is also not. So now we're down to four numbers(115 votes)
- why is it called prime factorization? why couldn't it be called prime multiples?(22 votes)
- A factor is a number that divides your number. So 4 is a factor of 8 for example. A prime factors is a prime numbers that divides your number. Hence, 4 is not a prime factor of 8, but 2 is. Prime factorization now is the process of splitting a number into its prime factors.(12 votes)
- How can you use Prime Factorization in the real world?(9 votes)
- This is a really good question!
Prime factorisation is essentially the act of breaking large numbers into their constituent building blocks. Natural numbers are made up of these prime factors and so to really understand them we need to be able to take them to pieces (with prime factorisation). You could think of it like taking a car engine to pieces and putting them together again, to understand how the engine works.
One important use of prime factorisation is in making (or breaking!) encrypted data. Encryption of data keeps it secure and stops people other than the intended recipient from looking at the data. We all rely on data encryption, especially people that handle sensitive data such as governments and businesses. If data encryption stopped working then it would make our societies very difficult to run!
Other applications of prime numbers relate to mathematical theory. You can read more about them here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number#Public-key_cryptography(12 votes)
- For the exercise - prime factorization - say you have a number such as 5 and you put in the answer box 1*5 it says it is wrong. I am not sure why that is because 1x5=5. So, why does it count 1*5 as wrong?(5 votes)
- Might sound like a stupid question but what is the prime factorisation of 1??
I mean, 1=1 but 1 is not a prime number.(3 votes)
- You are correct. 1 is not a prime number. It is also not a composite number. It has only one factor, itself. This makes it unique. Because it is not a composite number, it does not have a prime factorization.(7 votes)
- Do we always have to go from the smallest prime factor to the largest prime factor when prime factorizing? I had to prime factorize 3,628,800 and I could solve it when I started from the greatest prime factor, which was 7. Am I supposed to do the prime factorizing from the smallest number even when prime factorizing big numbers such as 3,628,800?(2 votes)
- It is not necessary to start prime factorizing from the smallest number.
You might do that in any way, since it does not change the answer(each number has a unique prime factorization).(1 vote)
- Hi! How y'all? Please help me with the factor tree, and also finding it. (The GCF). It's so hard for me.(2 votes)
- I have a question. I don't get it that on the number 36 the "adding the digits" doesn't work. Because 3+6=9 and nine isn't divisible by two, yet 36 IS divisible by 2.(2 votes)
- How bout what is the prime factorization of 3240.... its to big and i havent memorized that chart thing that tells you which numbers can be divisible if that even makes sense(2 votes)
- My answer's a little long, but it's a bunch of pretty easy steps:
First, notice that 3240 ends in a zero, which makes it easier, because you can divide anything that ends in a zero by 10: so now the number becomes: 10 X 324.
Suddenly that big number isn't so big any more.
Next, do the prime factorization of 10: 5 X 2 X 324.
So all you have to deal with now is the 324. Anything that ends in an even number can be divided by 2:
5 X 2 X 2 X 162.
The 162 ends in an even number, so you can divide again by 2:
5 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 81.
If you know your multiplication tables, you recognize 81 as the product of 9 X 9:
5 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 9 X 9.
And finally, you do the prime factorization of those 9s, which is 3 X 3, for each 9:
5 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 = 3240.
So anytime you're facing a big number, look for easy ways to make it smaller -- Is it even? Then you can divide by 2 -- Does it end in 5? Then you can divide by 5 -- Does it end in 0? Then you can divide by 10. If none of those numbers help, you can try dividing by other small numbers. The key is making the big numbers smaller!(3 votes)
We're asked, what is the prime factorization of 36? Let me get my little scratch paper out. So the prime factorization of 36. So let's start with the smallest prime number we know, and that is 2. And think about, does 2 go into 36? Well, sure, it does. 36 is 2 times 18. So we can write that down. 36 is 2 times 18. So now we have 36 as a product of a prime number, and 18 is clearly a composite number. It has factors other than 1 and 18. So let's try to factor this further. So is this divisible by 2? Sure. 18 is 2 times 9. So now 9 is a composite number that we haven't fully factored. Obviously, the 2's are both prime. 9 is not divisible by 2, but it is divisible by 3. 9 is 3 times 3. So we can say that 36 is equal to 2 times 2 times 3 times 3. This is its prime factorization. All of these numbers are prime. So now let's input that to make sure we got it right. 2 times 2 times 3 times 3. And you can check yourself. If you have the product of numbers that are all prime and the product actually is 36, you have successfully prime factorized the number. Let's do a couple more of these. What is the prime factorization of 30? So I'll get my scratch paper out again. So we'll do the same process. So 30-- well, it's divisible by 2. So we can write that as 2 times 15. 15 isn't divisible by 2. But it is divisible by 3. It's the same thing as 3 times 5. And both 3 and 5 are prime numbers. They are only divisible by 1 and themselves. So the prime factorization of 30 is 2 times 3 times 5. Let's enter that in. So it is 2 times 3 times 5. Let's do one more of these. What is the prime factorization of 73? Now, 73 is interesting. I'll get my scratch paper out for this. We could try to factor 73. So you might try 2. Well, this is clearly an odd number. So 2 isn't going to be divisible into 73. You might try 3. You would immediately see, well, 3 is divisible into 72. If you divide into 73, you have a remainder of 1. Well, 4 isn't a prime number, so we wouldn't even try. 5 isn't divisible into 73. It doesn't end in a 5 or 0. 7 is not divisible into 73. 7 goes into 70, so you'd have a remainder of 3. 11 isn't divisible into 73. It's divisible into 66 or 77, so not 73. As I test more and more numbers, it doesn't look like there's any easy thing that divides into 73. So I'm willing to go with 73 itself is a prime number. So this is its prime factorization. It's just 73. So let's write that down. So the answer here, let's just write 73. And you don't want to write 1 times 73, because 1 is not a prime number. Remember, 1 only has one factor, itself. A prime number has two factors, 1 and itself. Two different prime factors-- 1 and itself. And itself is not one. So we just want to write prime numbers here. 73 is a prime number. Let's check our answer. And we got it right. | 37mathematics

Let us know!
Jefferson Health is making a big, shiny $762 million bet on Center City Philadelphia.
After four years of construction, Jefferson Health opened its new 19-story medical office tower in Market East, known as the Honickman Center.
The building sits at the corner of 11th and Chestnut Streets and spans 462,000 square feet.
“We’re going to make care more efficient, more customer-focused and will boost collaboration between our physicians,” said Dr. Joseph Cacchione, CEO of Jefferson Health.
It’s a specialty care pavilion, not a hospital, so it won’t keep patients overnight.
Instead, it’s an outpatient care center that offers same-day surgeries, doctor appointments with specialists, and medical infusion visits.
The goal is to make the journey for a patient to get the care they need less burdensome, said its CEO.
“The average patient with chronic illness sees seven physicians,” Dr. Cacchione said. “You could walk a 5K to get to all your appointments at Jefferson. That will change, and we’re very happy about that.”
The concept is to consolidate its operations, including the National Cancer Institute-designated Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, the Digestive Health Institute, Jefferson Transplant Institute, Korman Respiratory Institute and other specialties like cardiovascular, otolaryngology, rheumatology and urology in the same building.
The facility has more than 300 exam rooms, 58 infusion chairs, 10 operation rooms, six endoscopy rooms, imaging and laboratory services and a pharmacy. It also has an underground parking garage.
The new center has virtual surgical theaters, augmented and virtual reality and robotics.
Inside patient rooms, the chairs can be lowered down, making it easier for individuals in wheelchairs. A touchscreen television plays calming music and breathing exercises, and patients can scroll through art. Patient waiting areas have tactile walls and chairs that reduce sensory stimulation.
There’s also a rooftop garden for patients and visitors to promote peace and healing.
Jefferson Health plans to vacate more than 177,000 square feet of medical office space across 10 different buildings with plans to repurpose or sell them.
“We can’t create the future in facilities from the past,” said Dr. Baligh Yehia, president of Jefferson Health.
The Honickman Center is named after Lynne and Harold Honickman, their children Majorie and Jeffrey Honickman and Shirley and Richard Hahn after a $50 million gift. More than 2,000 individual donors chipped in roughly $150 million as well.
During construction, the project generated $772 million in economic impact and supported 4,000 jobs, in addition to $25 million in tax revenue for the city of Philadelphia.

I did have one sheet that had a couple of areas where there were some breaks in the toner in some traces, but I may have touched the shiny surface on that sheet because subsequent prints were all fine.
At the price this appears to be a very good deal, and when I need more I would not hesitate to buy again.
Infact, I would love my money back.
That said, if you can print on it, the paper works well. Using a sublimation press for 60sec @ 190C, I was able to get some really good transfers. | 17electronic_science

A magnitude-3.7 temblor struck at 4:43 a.m. at a depth of .6 miles, its epicenter 1 mile southwest of La Verne, 1 mile southeast of San Dimas and 2 miles northwest of Pomona, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. An aftershock of the same magnitude in the same location and at the same depth struck at 5:06 a.m., according to the USGS.
There were no immediate reports of damage, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. But the shaking made people take notice, notwithstanding the low magnitude.
"It felt like someone crashed into the station," a desk deputy at the sheriff's San Dimas Station said of the first of the two shakers.

For this 2017 Harmonia Mundi release, Pablo Heras-Casado and the Orchestra of St. Luke's present two of Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's early works, the "Symphony No. 1 in G minor, Winter Dreams, Op. 13," and the symphonic fantasia after Shakespeare, "The Tempest, Op. 18." While the symphony in its original form failed to please Tchaikovsky's conservative teachers, Anton Rubinstein and Nikolai Zaremba, its revised version was one of the young composer's earliest successes with an audience and proved that his talents for long-breathed melodies and rich orchestration were no impediments to working in symphonic form. Heras-Casado and the St. Luke's orchestra give a moody and evocative performance, and the wintry atmosphere and luminous scene painting of the first three movements may impress listeners more than the finale, which seems forced, episodic, and academic, even in the best hands. Essentially a tone poem with a loose program, "The Tempest" is less problematic than the symphony in its formal aspects, and in several ways it anticipates the fantasy overture "Romeo and Juliet," not least in its dramatic action music but also in its characteristic love theme. This performance is warm and passionate, and Heras-Casado and his musicians give it rhythmic vitality where the music needs it. The recorded sound in both works is vivid and spacious, and approaches audiophile quality in its crisp details and transparent tone colors.

(WTVD) -- The second half of this week is when the quiet weather pattern likely shifts gears. A system will move into the Carolinas overnight Wednesday into Thursday ahead of strengthening low pressure in the Midwest and central Plains.
Most of the precipitation moving in should arrive as rain; however, initial timing could lead to a brief period of sleet and/or freezing rain mainly in the far western Piedmont before a changing back over to rain.
Friday looks to be the worst day of the week once the low pressure finally sweeps into the Northeast. Heavy rain will be possible during this storm, and a rapid changeover to snow will be possible as well, as strong winds are expected to rush over the region. Thursday and Friday should turn out to be an overall milder day despite the rain.
Right now, it is too early to pinpoint exact precipitation totals given the uncertainty of the timing and intensity of this storm. Travel delays during the upcoming period leading right up to Christmas should be anticipated.
Much colder air will funnel into the viewing area overnight Friday into Saturday.
The upcoming weekend should overall be dry, yet quite cold and brisk in the wake of this storm. Highs in the 30s look likely for the Christmas holiday weekend. | 4atmospheric_science

Size: 279 acres
Established in 1982 as the National Wildflower Research Center and later renamed in 1998 as The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the center is one of the country’s most credible research institutions and effective advocates for native plants. The center was founded by Lady Bird Johnson, the First Lady of the U.S. during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson, and actress Helen Hayes as a resource to protect and preserve North America’s native plants and natural landscapes.
Their mission statement:
The mission of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscapes.
In 2005, the center partnered with the American Society of Landscape Architects to create the Sustainable Sites Initiative as a way to promote and develop sustainability standards for landscapes nationwide, a pioneering effort in a time when green building and construction standards for landscapes are limited at best. Today, the center also functions as an Organizational Research Unit of The University of Texas at Austin.
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center spans over 270 acres and is home to a great diversity of plant life in the Central Texas Hill Country, South and West Texas. A colorful showcase of Texas’ ecological heritage, landscapes range from woodlands to rolling meadows to fields of wildflowers and other native plants.
Though the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is an important cultural and research resource for the region, the center is actually inaccessible by public transportation. Located southwest of downtown Austin within Texas hill country, it takes over an over and a half hours on public transit followed by a two to three mile bike ride to reach the final destination. Though I was disappointed that public transit didn’t reach the center, I’m still glad I made the long commitment to navigate my way (with some questionable bicycling directions) to the center.
In the springtime, the center is awash with the colors of blooming wildflowers. Winter is an understandably low point for scenic vistas–the center waives the admission fee in January to boost visitation in the quieter months. Though there wasn’t much to see in the plant realm, their environmentally friendly and award-winning architecture are beautiful additions to visit, such as the aqueduct, one of several water features that harvests water for the 70,000-gallon rainwater collection system.
As an internationally renowned research institution, the center also hosts an online database of more than 7,200 native species known as the Native Plant Information Network. Educational programs and exhibits on native plant life and ecology are also held for both children and adults. A rotating exhibit of art and photography, walking trails, and a cafe are also on site. A photographer’s dream in the spring, I look forward to revisiting the center in the future. | 32landscape_architecture

Chinese films, actors and directors have won several awards at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival - seen as the Chinese-language Oscars.
A Golden Horse Award is considered by many to be the highest accolade for Chinese-language films.
The 49th awards judged films from Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and China, including Hong Kong and Macau.
Analysts say the success is a sign of China's growing prominence in the huge Chinese-language film industry.
Once closed to films from mainland China, the Golden Horse changed its policy in 1996.
Past winners mainly came from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The awards ceremony was held at the Luodong Cultural Working House in Ilan county, in north-eastern Taiwan.
The coveted best feature film award went to Beijing Blues - a Chinese film that also won awards for best editing and best cinematography.
It examines the struggles of ordinary people, and is told through the encounters of a police detective who hunts down thieves, con artists and illegal hawkers.
The best supporting actress award went to a Chinese performer - Liang Jing.
Previously turning out mainly propaganda movies and historical epics, Chinese filmmakers have in recent years explored wider subjects closer to people's lives, says the BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei.
But many Chinese films that win awards overseas are banned in China because of content deemed inappropriate or politically sensitive by the censors, she says.
And Chinese productions also face pressure from Hollywood films, which do the best in Chinese cinemas.
Beijing is increasingly recognizing the importance of films as a type of soft power, seeing the powerful influence of Hollywood, adds our correspondent.
But the question is whether it can be hands-off enough to give its talented filmmakers the freedom they need to perhaps produce global box office hits, she adds.
Hong Kong's Johnnie To took home the best director's award, while Hong Kong's Lau Ching Wan won the best actor award for Life Without Principle, and Taiwan's Gwei Lun-Mei won the best actress award for her performance in Gf-Bf (Girlfriend-Boyfriend).
Another Chinese film, Mystery, received the most nominations of the evening jointly along with a Taiwanese film. | 41movie

- By Patrick Marshall
- Jun 05, 2012
It's a bird! It's a plane! No. It's the Homeland Security Department. Or maybe the U.S. Geological Survey. Or maybe the Agriculture Department.
The military pioneered pilotless aircraft for reconnaissance and attack missions. Now they're coming home, and not just for law enforcement. Departments and agencies at the federal, state and local levels are quickly adopting unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) — also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) — as a cost-effective and safer alternative to piloted aircraft for many civilian missions, including inspecting dams and monitoring river erosion or changes in wildlife populations.
Navy UAS program still flying high despite recent crashes
DOD aiming to lift restrictions on unmanned flights in US airspace
The challenge, say those trying to integrate drones into their agency’s data collection infrastructure, is ensuring a solid return on the investment. And to do that, they say, the right equipment needs to be matched to the right missions.
“In the budget climate that we have now we really have to take a hard look and make sure that there are going to be money savers overall,” said Robbie Hood, director of NOAA's UAS program. “You don't want to use the unmanned aircraft just for the gimmick of it."
NASA pioneered civilian apps
Not surprisingly, the first agency to deploy UAS for civilian purposes in a serious way was NASA. "NASA does a lot of the exploration in terms of what is possible," said Jeff Bauer, NASA senior UAS technical adviser. "I think you will begin to see organizations like NOAA and the Interior Department and others doing more routine operations once NASA blazes the trail. [UAS] have been very valuable to us so far."
Brenda Mulac, NASA's UAS liaison, said the agency is selectively deploying its drones to missions that are either too long or too risky for manned flights, such as monitoring hurricanes. Drones offer two major benefits, Mulac said. "One, with the smaller UAS, we are able to fly into the boundary layer within the storm itself where there are extremely high winds and heavy seas and very poor visibility. It's not an area that even hurricane hunters will fly into."
Another major benefit is that certain drones — including the Global Hawk NASA uses for hurricane monitoring — can stay airborne longer than most manned aircraft. "Global Hawk has long legs in terms of the amount of time you can stay in the air," Mulac said. "You can actually sit over storms for six to 12 or more hours and gather constant data. That gives us an opportunity to watch these rapid-intensification events."
In fact, said Bob Curry, chief scientist at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Global Hawks can stay in the air for as long as 31 hours, depending on conditions. "That's of particular interest to Earth sciences, such research on hurricane formation," Curry said. "A manned airplane can only be there for six to seven hours before they have to return."
In addition to two Global Hawks, NASA is using a drone that was developed in-house. The SIERRA has a 20-foot wingspan and a range of 600 miles. "It's a midsize UAS we used for arctic work," Mulac said. "It is doing some fault line surveys as well as some coral reef monitoring…in the next two years." Mulac added that next year NASA will be deploying a Predator B — the second generation of the Predator drone — to measure sea ice in the marginal ice zone off the coast of Alaska.
In addition, a lot of researchers are even building their own, smaller drones. "Agencywide, we have dozens," said NASA’s Bauer. "The research community uses them quite extensively. The numbers and varieties there are endless. They tend to use smaller size vehicles, which are rather inexpensive."
Early agency adopters
Other agencies and departments are already moving to acquire and deploy fleets of drones, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USGS, USDA and DHS.
Robbie Hood, director of NOAA's UAS program, said NOAA's testing began in 2005. "It started off as a test program to look at the different kinds of UAS, from the small hand-launched ones all the way up to the Global Hawk. We wanted to find out first if they are going to be tenable and, secondly, if they are going to be cost-effective. Now we're moving into starting to do more operational testing."
NOAA has used drones for such missions as storm monitoring and marine mammal surveys. "Being able to bring a lightweight UAS that you launch from a boat or walk down the beach and watch it collect high-resolution video and infrared imagery is very helpful," Hood said. "And it saves the person who has to do all those observations a great deal of time and distance in walking."
Hood says NOAA's highest priority for its UAS program is to provide data that can't be collected from other sources. "We are starting to develop acquisition plans, but we haven't made any major purchases," she said. Hood says the agency has just purchased two Pumas, lightweight, hand-launched drones made by AeroVironment Inc.
In addition, the agency has a couple of Mantas made by BAE Systems, and two helicopter drones. "We are still doing our strategic plan," Hood said. "we have to be prudent in making sure that anything new we bring into the agency will either provide additional benefits or it will at least replace some of our older assets.”
One agency that has clearly found drones an attractive investment is the U.S. Geological Survey. Michael Hutt, USGS UAS program manager, said the agency has 19 Raven A systems, each of which comes with three aircraft. The hand-launched Raven, made by AeroVironment Inc., weighs in at only 4.5 pounds and has a wingspan of 5 feet. In addition, the agency has 22 Honeywell T Hawk systems, each of which has two hovercraft.
Hutt said the first rule of effective drone deployment is knowing which drone to use for a particular purpose. "The advantage of the Raven is that it is electric powered and very, very quiet. The T Hawk has a gasoline motor on it and sounds like a chainsaw when it is started up. If you're looking at threatened and endangered species, mainly waterfowl, the biologists are very reluctant to put something out there that makes a lot of noise. They are very comfortable with the Raven being quiet."
That doesn't mean there aren't roles for the T Hawk. “The [Interior Department’s] Bureau of Reclamation is interested in using the UAS to help their dam safety program, so they're not as concerned about the noise level," Hutt added. "With the T Hawk we can use the thermal camera to look for water seepage."
Agencies must coordinate
The key to developing effective fleets of drones in government, both Hood and Hutt said, is coordination of efforts, both within departments and between departments and agencies.
"We are also working with the other government agencies — USGS, NASA, [the National Science Foundation] — and staying abreast of what their interests are," said NOAA’s Hood. "We are all trying to do it in the most prudent, judicious and cost-effective way. You may see in the next five years where maybe one agency will take the lead in one particular platform. Right now NASA is definitely the leader in high-altitude, long-endurance UAS. USGS is using the smaller Ravens.”
Hood added that there are at least two different interagency UAS working groups. "All of the agencies are going through the same growth pains," she said. Besides learning from each other's experiences, there is opportunity for sharing resources, Hutt said. At the same time, there are advantages to not having a wide variety of UAS in a single agency.
"We made a decision within the department that we really wanted to minimize the number of systems we have in our fleet — to make training easier, to make enhancements easier, to make maintenance easier," Hutt said.
"I think the market didn't really anticipate how popular these things were going to become and how soon," Hutt said. "To me, it feels like when we were first introducing GPS. It seems like the same sort of concerns and issues and training requirements, and 10 years later everybody's cell phone has more GPS capabilities that all of the equipment we had access to 10 years ago."
Hutt predicts that the use of drones will continue to grow faster than most people expect. "UAS will be the system of choice within the 2020 time frame, if not sooner," he said. "I think we will be using more data being collected by UAS than we will from satellites and manned aircraft." | 0aerospace

How does GAMMA create a stronger, tougher and more flexible material that holds tension longer and breaks less often? It all starts with our proprietary process, and a stiff co-polymer material. The material is exposed to the GAMMA irradiation process, and the long-chain molecules are broken down and reassembled into millions of entangled and linked bonds. This original patented process increases the number of intermolecular bonds in the string, increasing resiliency and strength and resulting in strings that last longer and perform better.
Who it’s for: Players seeking additional power and comfort
What it does: Our second-generation Thermo Nuclear Technology (TNT2) incorporates dynamic elasticity and resiliency during your stroke. Strings to store energy and return it to the ball on impact. TNT2 maximizes dwell time of the ball on the stringbed, giving you ultimate power and comfort.
Live Wire Technology by GAMMA
Who it’s for: Players seeking additional comfort and touch
What it does: GAMMA Live Wire technology starts with our TNT2 technology, and then changes the molecular structure of the string to increase sensitivity and response. The dynamic resiliency this creates helps string to snap back into place quickly and fluidly for consistent touch and control.
Innovation GAMMA Strings Technology: Glide™ Low Friction Technology
Glide™ Low Friction Technology
Who it’s for: Players seeking more spin and power
What it does: Glide Low Friction Technology hones in on the recovery of the string after hitting the ball. Glide is made of a super elastic, fluorinated polymer that allows the main strings to move easily across the surface of Glide cross strings. This reduces friction, creating a fluid movement enables the strings to quickly snap back into place, generating more spin and power.
Who it’s for: Players seeking additional durability and control
What it does: While most strings notch in place and cause fraying or breaking, our wear-reducing fibers are engineered to reduce notching when hitting the ball. The trade-off is that durable strings are typically stiff. But GAMMA’s Wearguard technology does not affect the flexibility or power of our strings. The Wearguard fibers are strategically positioned in the outer wrap, preserving the string elasticity.
||Gamma Syn Gut Tennis String
||40 ft/12.2 M, 720 ft/220 M
GAMMA’s industry-changing Synthetic Gut is the ideal all-around performance string, offering a balance of playability and extra durability for all playing levels and playing styles. Wearguard fibres coat the exterior of the string, preventing notching and reducing friction, while offering additional durability.
Gamma Irradiation Technology
The Original Patented GAMMA Irradiation Process uses high energy gamma irradiation to increase the number of intermolecular bonds in the material to increase the Dynamic Resiliency and strength of the material. | 36materials_science

It's happened again. Mortgage rates have eased down another few points to hit a new all-time low. According to Freddie Mac's latest figures, released July 3, the average rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage came in at 3.07%. The previous low (which Thursday's beat) was 3.13%. Last year at this time, the rate was 3.75%.
Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement, “Mortgage rates continue to slowly drift downward with a distinct possibility that the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage could dip below 3 percent later this year.On the economic front, incoming data suggest the rebound in economic activity has paused in the last couple of weeks with modest declines in consumer spending and a pullback in purchase activity.”
Equally unheard-of, Freddie put the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage average at 2.56 percent, down slightly from last week’s 2.59 percent, beating last year’s 3.18 percent average.
Curiously, mortgage applications fell last week despite the drop in rates. The boogie-man that is scaring buyers away is explained by some economic forecasters as our old friend Covid-19. Investors are afraid of a recent resurgence in COVID-19 cases negatively affecting the labor market and economy.
Economists read the decline as a signal that all the demand we have recently seen may be starting to slow as a low housing supply limits buyer's options. According to Mark Fleming, chief economist for First American, "Our research has also found that in past recessions, house prices show their ‘downside stickiness,’ meaning they remain flat or their growth slows during economic downturns, but often do not decline much,” Fleming said. “Because of this, in the near term, we anticipate nominal house price appreciation to accelerate this summer.”
What does all this mean for home sellers and buyers in the Hudson Valley? With record-low interest rates and accelerated housing prices expected, now is an excellent time to sell your home.

Almost a year later, I think things have improved somewhat.
- Everything is now: Except now there is a bit of patience sometimes. I have to acknowledge having received the order and appear to make progress.
- Everything has to be done in a very specific way: I get much more leeway sometimes, having developed trust in my capabilities.
- And the visions are poorly explained, so meeting the expectation is difficult when the thing is something new: With better delivered specifications and my asking questions to fill in the gaps.
Much of this is my understanding the boss’ expectations and processes better. Much of this could be her appreciating my efforts to keep her world efficient and well run.
I still am working on how to address the things that still frustrate her. For instance, I need to improve acknowledgement instead of just trying to complete it. Many times the task takes longer than a few seconds, so she thinks I am not paying attention.
Driving With A Toddler may be more dangerous than texting while driving or under the influence of tranquilizers. This is very much a distracted driving situation.
Basically, while driving, Fleur becomes demanding of my attention.
- Play <insert song>!
- I want to go to the park!
- I want to go to the store!
- Open this!
- Throw this away!
Of course, I ignore text messages and phone calls while driving. But, both are infrequent and less… demanding than a toddler. Patience is not yet an acquired trait. And I often refuse to play the song when there is such negative emotion.
My wife calls it not negotiating with terrorizers.
The thing is, evolution played a trick on us. Our brains are highly sensitive to the frequency at which our children cry. So, for the ten minutes I am not negotiating or doing the thing fast enough, I am also experiencing agony. So, all too often, it is really tempting to give in.
I feel at times that I give in too much. In the moment, it feels like a relief. And I justify it as a small thing to allow her to have.
Of late, my resistance has been to make her ask. I’ve decided to give in, but I make her do it in a nice way. She is good about complying.
I do it myself! Fleur, just now and all the time
I am torn about this stage.
I love that she wants to develop these skills.
- She perseveres.
- She makes small tweaks to form to find the one that works if it doesn’t initially work.
- She learns from the past mistakes.
- She develops a preference.
My hope is experiences like this will help her pass the marshmallow test.
I dislike having to wait. I am not good at padding the timeline to include how long it could take her. I hope to get better about accommodating this.
Thankfully, when I offer to help, she rebuffs me. This tends to be a bit more intense than my preference, but I respect that she wants to do it. Also, if we try to intervene by putting on her socks or shoes without permission, then she will get upset and remove it and get even more determined to do it herself. | 54psychology

Can Africa Survive on its own? If you answered no to any of the questions above, then Israel is the solution. A number of countries have been making their way to Africa, most of them with good intentions and others with questionable motives. China’s involvement in Africa has always been questionable simply because of the influence they have in the politics of Africa, akin to what we call neo-colonial powers today.
Africa has always been stuck between a rock and a hard place. There have been a number of things that have led to this, chief amongst them being the obvious elephant of colonialism in the room, and as a result it is hard for Africa to develop international diplomacy and relationships with a number of countries. Colonialism has made it hard for African leaders to trust and accept any international help. Furthermore the illiteracy level in Africa is disgraceful, which has led to us having incompetent leaders who have managed to manipulate their positions to head in the wrong directions.
South Africans do not wake up every day and think about Israel or any other Middle-East country and their conflict. Simply because we have our own issues on the ground that affect us. Just to mention a few, the high level of unemployment, especially amongst graduates, the increasingly violent crime rate and the Gender-Based Violence that we are confronted by every day. South Africans are looking for solutions for all the ground issues that we are faced with. Israel is often chastised most by antisemitic and anti-Israel organizations in South Africa. These organizations will go to the extent of boycotting an Israeli company intending to buyout the ailing South African dairy company, Clover, affecting people’s jobs. These organizations do not care about the lives of ordinary South Africans who are without jobs and continuously live in adverse poverty. The motive of these organizations is always questionable because they have even boycotted and forced the shutdown of Soda Stream, an Israeli company which used to operate in the West Bank, forcing over 500 Palestinian families to go hungry and broke. People lose jobs, people become miserable and people are left stranded.
Israel has been building ties with some African countries including Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya and Senegal and more recently Sudan. These countries understand that Israel is a leader in the tech-world, in agriculture, in water technology and other fourth industrial revolution spheres. Multimillion-dollar American companies are operating smoothly in Israel and are injecting billions of dollars to the economy. Companies such as Google, Apple, AT&T, Amazon, Dell, Facebook and IBM have been established and are contributing to the development of Israel. Many other companies from countries such as China, Canada, Finland and the United Kingdom are also operating in Israel whilst Arabic countries have been performing research and development partnerships with Israel for years, albeit quietly. Now ask yourself: Where are African companies? Why are we being left behind? Developed and first world countries are already conducting big business with the government of Israel.
Africa has been faced with a water crisis for a very long time, and an Israeli company called Innovation: Africa came to the rescue in many parts of Africa. They provide clean water to the rural and disadvantaged areas in countries such as Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Cameroon, amongst others. This water can be used for agricultural purposes as well. Innovation: Africa has completed over 300 projects providing light and clean water to 1.8 million people in 10 African Countries.
Other Israeli Aid came in a form of creating better health for all Africans. Hebrew University of Jerusalem came up with research studies on how to curb Malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Many Israeli start-ups have developed medical technology that has been of great help to nurses and doctors in the most rural of clinics and hospitals across the continent and Israel is training doctors and nurses in Ghana in advanced, low-cost methods to address the country’s high infant mortality rate. Israel has been instrumental in the drive to provide voluntary circumcision to African men as a proven method to reduce the risk of contracting HIV.
Israel is really a considerable friend and ally in the problems we are facing in Africa. Africa will benefit from the water, sanitation and energy solutions, agricultural and irrigation ideas, medical equipment and health related matters, better business methods including technologically innovative ways to catch up with the fourth industrial revolution ambit. | 57sociology

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2|
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (hereafter referred to as RRR2) is a party game for the Wii. It features many mini-games that can support up to four players. It is a sequel to the first Rayman: Raving Rabbids, but unlike its predecessor, there is little to no framing story and a much stronger emphasis is placed on multiplayer at the expense of the single-player option. However, the mini-games are better designed to support simultaneous play, as opposed to the first game’s mini-games, which typically involved players taking turns, and the characteristic zaniness that made the first game so memorable has been intensified.
Like most Wii games, the Wii-mote’s motion sensing capabilities are an integral part of gameplay. In various mini-games, players will tilt, spin, shake, or swing the Wii-mote and Nunchuck extension. The Nunchuck is not required to play the game, but without it gameplay is much more simplified. The two modes of gameplay are “Free Play” and “Trips.” “Free Play” allows players to select any mini-game from any area, separated into different sections of the world such as Asia or Europe. “Trips” allows players to play through all the mini-games of one particular area in sequential order.
Play Session 1
The first play session occurred in early April at a friend’s house. It was I and about five other friends, all of varying levels of gaming experience, but all had played RRR2 before. We took turns with the four controllers, changing players between rounds, which consisted of four mini-games in “Free Play.”
We played about five rounds total with a wide variety of mini-games. In general, the more experienced gamers came in first because they had better reflexes, but there were instances when the non-gamers in the group would win a game or two. Since the rhythm-type mini-games, where each player is an instrument in a band and must swing the Wii-mote to the beat, are a favorite of ours, we played those fairly often. The Wii-motes can be too sensitive for those kind of mini-games and can occasionally register a tiny hand motion as a “beat,” causing you to lose your note streak. This meant that a lot of concentration was required…which of course meant that all the players were doing their best to distract the others. We ended our play session when we decided to move on to other video games, and overall we had a lot of fun playing RRR2.
Play Session 2
The second play session occurred on April 18th, during the in-class game demonstration. I and three other students played through a handful of mini-games in front of the class. Some of the players had never played RRR2 before, but all players were able to pick up on the controls for the various mini-games quickly, thanks to the on-screen explanations at the start of each mini-game.
We played mini-games that showed off the key characteristics of RRR2, including one where you swing your Wii-mote to hit misbehaving children and one where players race against each other in teams of two in shopping carts. This play session ended at the end of the presentation.
RRR2 is a very fun game to play with friends, but it is boring to play on your own. This game is an excellent choice when playing in a group that includes non-gamers who get discouraged by more difficult games. However, many of the mini-games are challenging enough to provide an excellent competition for all player skill levels of player, and the quirky humor and general silliness of the game keep everyone laughing and having a good time.

Mar 29th, 2011 at 10:50:31 - Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts (Playstation 2)|
Kingdom Hearts is an action RPG released for the Playstation 2 in 2002. In the game, the player assumes the role of Sora, a teenage boy whose world is consumed by darkness and evil creatures called Heartless. Sora is able to wield the legendary Keyblade, which will allow him to defeat the Heartless and restore the destroyed worlds. Along the way he teams up with the Disney characters Donald and Goofy as he travels to different worlds based off Disney movies in search of his friends, Kairi and Riku.
In addition to Sora’s quest to find his friends, he is in the middle of a battle between good and evil. Heartless are trying to consume every world by attacking the heart of the world, accessible via a Keyhole. However, Sora can lock those portals using his Keyblade, so he must find the Keyholes before the Heartless do. In addition, Maleficent, following Ansem’s orders, is searching for the seven Princesses of Hearts, maidens whose hearts will allow her to open Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all worlds. Sora’s friend Riku sides with Maleficent because he believes it will help save their friend Kairi, which further complicates matters for Sora.
The player controls Sora who is able to use both the Keyblade as a melee weapon and magic. Sora is able to run, jump, and occasionally swim and fly. The player can also set very basic tactics for his other party members, such as “use offensive magic often” or “only use healing items in an emergency.” The game is segmented into different worlds that must be cleared before new worlds can be reached. Each world is populated by enemies called Heartless. There are different varieties of Heartless that increase in difficulty through the game. Each world also features a final boss that frequently has two or more forms. There are several side-quests the player can complete, such as the additional tournaments in the Olympus Coliseum and helping restore Winnie the Pooh’s book. Additionally, the player travels between worlds using the Gummi Ship in a rail shooter mini-game.
Play Session 1
I played Kingdom Hearts with a handful of girlfriends, taking turns playing various worlds or sections of worlds. Kingdom Hearts has no multiplayer options, but we wanted to finish the game as a group. This also allowed me to see how someone inexperienced with video games might handle a game, as one player, Laura, had never played the game before and had extremely limited experience playing video games. A second player, Sara, was new to Kingdom Hearts but had experience with other games while the other two players, myself and Emily, were familiar and experienced with the video game.
For this play session, we decided to tackle the second tournament in Olympus Coliseum. That section of the game is not part of the plotline, but it is an intense test of one’s fighting skills. Sara took it on as a personal mission and managed to defeat the first few rounds with ease. The higher rounds featured stronger enemies, and Sara struggled, largely due to her inability to quickly use magic, accessible via hotkeys. However, she managed to pull through to face the final round, a battle against Leon and Yuffie. In short, she got owned. Undeterred, Sara tried two more times before we decided we needed to level up more.
Therefore we set out for our next world in the plot, Monstro, from Pinocchio. Emily started the world, but since she was working on a solo-playthrough in her free time, she decided to allow Laura to play about half-way through. Despite falling from ledges and ended up in earlier sections of the world multiple times, she managed to plug along until she got to the boss, the Parasite Cage. Since she was unable to effectively use magic for attacks or healing because she refused to use the hotkeys, the boss wiped the floor with her twice. Afterwards, she handed the controller to me, and I defeated the boss and the rest of the world. Once we left Monstro, Sara attempted another shot at the Coliseum, but again was bested by Leon and Yuffie. We then decided to end this play session.
Play Session 2
Our second play session occurred a few weeks later. We set out for our next world in the plot, Atlantica, based off of The Little Mermaid. Laura initially manned the controller for this world, and she adapted to the new dimension in gameplay surprisingly quickly. In Atlantica, the player is given full 3-dimensional movement because Sora becomes a merman and is able to swim about the world. About halfway through the world, the player is confronted with a giant shark. I had warned Laura about this beforehand, but when it appeared on-screen, I was promptly thrown the controller and left to deal with it on my own. The boss of that world was Ursula. It was a long battle, but it wasn’t very intense. Mostly I just did a lot of swimming around, waiting for her to attack before wailing on her with magic or my Keyblade. Other bosses were more difficult and interesting. Ursula’s second form was more challenging, but fairly standard giant-boss “get behind it and beat the crap out of it” fare.
Afterward Sara, more determined than ever, went back to the Coliseum. At my encouragement, she tried using the magic hotkeys more, though she struggled with keeping up with these more complicated controls. This caused her to lose to Leon and Yuffie yet again, but she immediately started the tournament over. More familiar with the hotkeys, Sara had a much easier time passing the early rounds. When she got to Leon and Yuffie, it was a long, difficult battle, but it was very fun for both player and audience. Sara’s perseverance proved successful, because she won!
We moved on to the next world in the storyline, Halloween Town, from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Because it is my favorite world, I insisted on playing for that section. The enemies were easy, but I had forgotten how to solve the puzzles of the world. It took us awhile to get through some portions of the world because of this and Laura’s often baffling advice. I was reminded once again how many things “make sense” to experienced gamers that are completely unknown to newbies. The boss battle against Oogie-Boogie, was much more entertaining and challenging. For his second form, I let Laura play. This was where we all learned just how inexperienced Laura was, because when she finally tried to use the hotkeys, she resorted to a complicated maneuver where she held down the right trigger with her left hand so she could continue running. Yeah. It took quite some time, but when she eventually defeated Oogie-Boogie, we decided to call it a night.
Kingdom Hearts is a very fun game with endearing characters in a fascinating universe. It seems like a ridiculous premise: Final Fantasy crossed with Disney, but is a stellar game thanks to a rich storyline and excellent gameplay. While it can be a little complicated for inexperienced gamers, its learning curve is balanced enough to allow anyone to pick up and play while still giving more experienced players a challenge in certain areas.

Jan 27th, 2011 at 01:53:31 - Murder in the Dark (Other)
Murder in the Dark is a popular children’s game that is a derivative of tag. |
The minimum number of characters for the game is three, and there is no maximum. However, the optimal number of players is between five and fifteen for an average-sized house. I played the first game with eight people and the second with ten.
At the start of each game, each player selects a slip of paper from a hat or other container. One slip designates a player as the cop, one designates the murderer, and the others are civilians. The contents of the paper must be kept secret from all other players, and they are returned to the hat before the start of play.
There are two factions of players. The cop and the civilians are on one side, and the murderer is on the other. The cop and the civilians want to discover the identity of the murderer. Additionally, the cop wants to avoid being killed at all cost because if he is the murderer automatically wins. The murderer wants to avoid being caught and to kill as many people as possible in the hopes that one of his victims is the cop.
When the game starts, all lights are turned off, and the players start to move around the house. Since the murderer does not want to arouse the suspicions of the other players and the cop doesn’t want the murderer to target him, all players behave like civilians, either sneaking around or hiding.
Once the murderer feels it is safe to do so, he begins looking for good opportunities to kill people. He does this by sliding his hand across their necks. Victims are not allowed the struggle against him or shout, and after they are killed they slide to the ground and must remain silent and motionless. The only exceptions are when the murderer forces them to move to another location or if someone asks them if they are alive.
When someone finds a dead body, he yells, “Murder in the dark!” and everyone turns on the nearest light. The murderer is allowed to kill people as long as the lights are off, so it is important to get the lights on quickly to avoid being killed.
Once the lights are on, any dead people are allowed to go into the main base with everyone else, but they cannot take part in the discussion and voting and can’t play for the rest of the game.
All living players, including the unknown murderer and cop, then discuss who they think is the murderer, and everyone votes on a single person. During the voting, all players become vigilantes and kill the suspect, meaning he is also out of the game. The suspect then reveals if he is or is not the murderer, and if the cop was killed he reveals his identity. If the murderer or the cop is killed by anyone, the game is over. Otherwise, the lights are turned off again, and the remaining players continue until the murderer kills the cop or they catch the real murderer.
Players may include their own house rules to increase or decrease difficulty. I and my friends limit games to fifteen minutes and forbid people from sticking together in groups for safety, but we also allow a minute or two at the start of each game to allow people to adjust to the darkness and find hiding places before the murderer can start killing.
Darkness is the most important element of the game. The play area, typically someone’s house, must be as dark as possible. Windows and blinds must be shut, TVs and computer screens must be turned off or covered, and all lights must be turned off. Adequate hiding places are also important. Any fragile or dangerous objects should also be put away to prevent anyone hurting themselves stumbling around in the dark. One central play area, such as a living room or kitchen, acts as a base where players will convene to discuss the identity of the murderer and find out their roles for the round. That room’s light does not get shut off until real play begins.
At the start of the round, each player drew their roles from the hat. I was a civilian. Once everyone indicated they were ready to begin, the living room light was shut off. All players were familiar with both the game and the house, and several people quickly settled into their favorite hiding places. People usually altered between hiding and walking around, trying to find people behaving suspiciously and checking to make sure the people in hiding places were still alive.
I knew that the area beside the refrigerator was well-shadowed and would give me a decent hiding place before everyone’s eyes adjusted fully. It would allow me to observe the other players while still staying in a place that was too wide open and centrally located for the murderer to feel comfortable killing me there. I almost gave my friend a heart attack when I finally stood up. I thought he had seen me, but clearly he hadn’t! After abandoning the kitchen, I made my rounds around the house, searching out people hiding and checking to see if they were still alive.
After about five minutes, my friend Sara shouted, “Murder in the dark!” and everyone quickly moved to turn on the nearest lightswitch. Bruce had been slain! We all convened in the living room and voted on our suspect. We decided to kill Danny, who revealed he was not the murderer. Neither one was the cop, either. Down two players, we resumed gameplay.
This time I decided to hide. I settled in at the back of the laundry room, feeling secure in my very dark spot. Unfortunately, the murderer must have been following me, because no sooner did I settle in did I feel a hand sliding across my neck. It was Sara! She had been the one to “discover” Bruce’s body! Feeling annoyed at falling for her clever trick, I spent the next five minutes on the floor, hoping that someone would find me in my obscure hiding place. No such luck, but thankfully another body was found elsewhere in the house, and I could get up. Sara had made quick work of the others, and now only three people remained alive. Unfortunately, one of the people killed was the cop, which meant Sara won the game.
The second game was played immediately afterward, with the addition of two more players. Again I was a civilian. Determined to catch this round’s murderer in the act, I decided to follow people around. This ended up backfiring because every time someone spotted me sneaking around, we ended up warily dancing in circles around each other, each suspecting the other was the murderer and unwilling to turn our backs on each other. Changing tactics, I instead found a hiding place that would allow me to see into the master bedroom, where I was hoping to catch the murderer in action.
I watched several people go through the room, but everyone left alive. After several uneventful minutes, someone started to approach me. I hopped up, hoping to get away in time, but I was cornered and murdered by Morgan.
Unlike methodical Sara, Morgan didn’t hesitate after he made his first kill. He went on a killing spree, hoping to get as many people as he could before anyone discovered a body. From my spot, I could tell that the house was growing very quiet and worried that Morgan would end up killing everyone and winning the game.
Luckily, Danny had other plans. Knowing that Austin was well-hidden in the living room, Danny did his best to lure the murderer in there as well. The murderer would think he was alone with Danny and would take the opportunity to kill him, while Austin secretly watched all the action. It was a risk, since he wasn’t sure if Austin was the real murderer, but in the end it was a success. Danny was murdered, and Austin called, “Murder in the dark!” and flicked on the lights. With an eyewitness report, the remaining players quickly decided to off Morgan, and the civilians won the round!
Murderer in the Dark is a very fun game to play with friends. It is accessible to most ages and all skill levels. While it is similar to hide-and-seek or tag, the dark, creepy environment and the threat of being “murdered” create an air of urgency and excitement. The game changes with each group of people because everyone has their own play style and schemes, and even within the same group people are always switching up tactics. I really enjoy the game, but I do suggest putting a fifteen or twenty minute time limit on games, because it can get tedious waiting up to ten minutes for a hesitant murderer to finally start killing.

A special sales event has been running since May 9 Geforce RTX 40 series with Diablo IV. If you buy a GeForce RTX 4090, 4080, 4070 Ti or 4070 graphics card from participating partners between that date and June 13, you’ll get a Diablo IV Standard Edition bundle.
It also includes Mount Light-Bearer and armor for mount Caparison of Faith, Inarius Wings and pet Inarius Murloc for Diablo III, Mount Amalgam Ragedo for World of Warcraft and Umber Winged Darkness cosmetic set for Diablo Immortal. To activate, it is necessary to have the GeForce Experience application installed and to pair the coupon with the given graphics card, which should therefore already be installed on the computer. Nvidia also notes that Diablo IV supports DLSS 3, which can be used with these new cards as well as Nvidia Reflex. Ray-tracing support will be added later.

Wales child abuse inquires
Answering questions about the child abuse inquiries in Wales the PMS told the lobby briefing that the Prime Minister was keen to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that people should have confidence in our determination to get to the truth. Some specific allegations had been made on the issue of abuse in a care home in Wales in recent days. Those allegations were very serious and related to the conduct of earlier police investigation and a public inquiry. The PM thought those allegations should be investigated in a way that commanded public confidence and was seen to be properly independent.
The allegations themselves went back many years - to the 1970s. The public inquiry was set up in 1996 and reported in 2000 so spanned different administrations. We would need to have discussions with the Opposition about the process, and its terms of reference. We would also need to talk to the Welsh First Minister.
There were a number of different investigations underway: the police investigations into allegations of abuse, and a number of investigations into what happened at the BBC and the NHS. What was being proposed here was something that looked specifically at the public inquiry and its conduct. It would advise on next steps and whether further investigation is required.
Responding to a question on whether there should be one overarching public inquiry the PMS said a number of different organisations had put in place inquiries. In the case of the NHS we have asked somebody to pull together to ensure consistency and independence. We did not rule anything out but it was important that it was work already underway and should progress as quickly as possible. Asked who was co-coordinating work on the inquiry the PMS said that the Prime Minister had been out of the country on government business but was in touch with his office. The Cabinet Secretary had been having meetings that day with other government departments to work through the issues.
Asked whether the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister had been unable to reach agreement on electoral reform the PMS said that the Boundaries Commission were carrying out work which they would report back on in the autumn next year when there would be a vote in the House of Commons. | 33law

We miss Thunder.
Not the thunder and rain...actually, that too.
But more than that, everyone misses watching their favorite team play basketball. Everyone misses getting ready before a game as if you're going to play yourself, then facing other anti-sports people who don't understand your love for this game.
After that comes arguing with friends over questionable fouls, roaring and cheering for the team you love and sometimes, just sometimes, getting mad when the team is loosing but then regret it and declare your eternal love for them once they score a few three-pointers that lead to victory.
But most of all, us, the OKC Thunder fans, miss watching our favorite players as they create magic in the court. We miss getting ready before a game, as if we're going to play ourselves then facing other anti-sports people who don't understand our love for this game.
After that comes arguing with friends over questionable fouls, roaring and cheering for OKC, and sometimes, just sometimes, getting mad when the Thunder is loosing but then quickly regret it and declare our eternal love for them, once Durant scores a few three-pointers, Westbrook a few dunks and Ibaka blocks the other team from grabbing the victory from OKC Thunder's hands.
All overseas fans, we miss staying late, becoming night-owls just to watch and feel at the same time what everyone is feeling when OKC either wins or loses.
Hopefully things will sort out soon, but in the meantime, you can occupy yourself with EuroBasket Lithuania 2011 where a lot of NBA players are present, fighting for their beloved country.
Until the time comes to do all of the above mentioned,
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
Denver stumbled over Thunder on their way to adding one more victory to their six winning streak. But for OKC, only 12 minutes were required in order to let the Nuggets know who will win the game. During those minutes, Thunder took the lead by 27-16.
"That was big, especially after losing two in a row. We were more putting an emphasis on losing two in a row, trying to end that, than trying to clinch the division." - said humble Durant.
KD led the team with 32 points and nine rebounds. Westbrook contributed with 18, while Harden as usual, coming off the bench, added 13.
Ibaka and Perkins did a good job at grabbing rebounds - 14 and 11, respectively.
The forth quarter gave the Nuggets some hope when they scored five points which helped them take the lead, 72-69. Oklahoma City answered back with a 16-0 run, emphasized by Durant's slam on a pass from Maynor.
Throughout 1:45 minutes that were left, Denver tried tempestuously, but failed to catch the Thunder.
This game marked the first time OKC won against this team in seven straight games at the Pepsi Center.
Only five games remain until the end of the regular season. Thunder now, meets up with L.A. Clippers on Wednesday night.
Until then, and until the playoffs,
Thursday, March 31, 2011
On Wednesday night at the US Airways Center, Thunder played yet another phenomenal game. OKC added a third victory on their last two games - this time Phoenix Suns was their "victim" (116-98).
Looking back at his last appearances, it's no surprise to know that Harden, coming off the bench, scored high 22 points.
In his three previous games against the Suns, Durant had averaged 23.3 points. This time he scored 22 but only as a result of Grant Hill's noteworthy ability to guard him.
Serge Ibaka had 15 while Westbrook contributed with 16 points and eight assists.
A low number of points is not an indication of a job not done well enough - it's completely the opposite; Westbrook showed to everyone that he plays for the name in front on the jersey, not the one on the back.
Coach Scott Brooks had nothing but words of praise for him. -"Russell was really good tonight. He's had better stats in the past but he really controlled the game. He was active on the ball and I thought his command of the game put us in a position to win tonight."
With only eight games left in the season, Thunder meets with Portland Blazers on Friday night. Let's hope this game will be one of those games where the Thunder does what it does best - bring bad weather to other teams.
Thursday, March 24, 2011
All-Stars Durant and Westbrook, combined together stupendous 60 points which gave the Thunder a bounce-back win against Utah Jazz on Wednesday night (94-106).

Saturday, March 19, 2011
Thunder started the weekend on the right foot by winning their sixth game in a row against Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night (82-99).
Thursday, March 17, 2011
OKC's magical duo, Durant and Westbrook, displayed their superhuman abilities by combining 47 points to Wednesday night's victory against Miami Heat (96-85).
If you separate these two, they still remain strong individually. Humble Durant led OKC with 29 points, while Westbrook added 18. Double points weren't enough for Durant - he also grabbed seven rebounds and had six assists.
Wade and Bosh scored 21 points for the Heat meanwhile James added 19. Together, they combined to shoot 21 of 69, one of their worst outings of the season.
OKC's reserves scored 31 points altogether.
The Thunder held Miami Heat to 38.5% shooting from the field, as Durant beat LeBron James for the first time in seven attempts.
With a determined defense, especially in the third quarter, OKC took a 67-62 lead into the fourth quarter and never looked back again.
"This was a good win against a team on the road. I told the guys before the game, it's a big game but there are 82 of them. We can't treat this game any different than we did
This game marks the fifth win in a row for Oklahoma City Thunder. Next up is the game against Charlotte Bobcats on Friday.
Thursday, March 3, 2011
"I wanted us to set the tone on defense from the start " - said coach Scott Brooks and that's exactly what the Thunder did on Wednesday night against Indiana Pacers.
Monday, February 28, 2011
Victory slipped away from their hands.
Or rather, the appropriate thing to say would be - the ball slipped from OKC Thunder's hands at the last seconds. Both humble Durant and James Harden had the chance to tie the game but both 3-pointers couldn't find the rim.
“It felt like nothing could go our way,” Durant said. “We missed shots and layups … These losses are tough.”
Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 22 points, six rebounds and six assists while Durant had 21 points. They showed up but nevertheless, none of the new team members played.
Pau Gasol was the one who led the Lakers straight to victory with 18 points and eleven rebounds.
OKC made it especially hard for the Lakers during the first quarter when they kept the lead with as many as 14 points. Meanwhile, the halftime was particularly welcome for the latter since they came out much stronger defensively and blocked Westbrook from shooting at will.
Even though Sefolosha and Harden did an outstanding job at blocking Bryant, he still managed to score (only)17 points and seven assists.
The last 4.9 seconds of the game held everyone's breath when Durant's attempt to tie the score failed. However, hopes were revived again when Nick Collison tapped the offensive board back out top, at which point Harden had an open look with 2.8 seconds left, but also failed.
"We wanted a three for KD at the end, it was a tough look but when we got the rebound James (Harden) had a good look. So yeah we wanted the three to tie and if that wasn't there try to get a two and get fouled." - said coach Scott Brooks.
This game was the third loss in a row for OKC this season.
Next up for the Thunder is the game against Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
Until then, thunderup!!!

Where is the “good” in goodbye?
The Oklahoma City Thunder is now officially a team with three new players. In order to obtain the services of Nate Robinson and Kendrick Perkins (Boston Celtics) exchanges were made. The ones that "suffered" were forward Jeff Green and center Nenad Krstic.
“It is never easy to make decisions such as these and I thank Jeff and Nenad for their contributions to the Thunder organization and to this community. They define professionalism and I wish them the very best in the future,” Presti said.
Thunder general manager said acquiring Perkins is not a quick-fix move. “That’s not how I think,” mentioned Presti. “It was more of, ‘We love Perkins. We want to get him in the program. We want to keep him in the program.’ He is so in our DNA.”
Perkins is expected to miss at least one week due to a sprained ligament in his left knee.
His appearance at the NBA (8th season) is crowned with career averages of 6.4 points. He appeared in 12 games this season with Celtics, with an average of 7.3 points and 8.1 rebounds in 26.1 minutes.
Robinson who won the Slam Dunk three times in a row (the only one in NBA history) is currently in his 6th NBA season. He possesses career averages of 11.3 points. He attended 55 games with the Celtics, averaging 7.3 points and 8.1 rebounds in 26.1 minutes.
As much as he's excited with the new players, Presti also acknowledged the fact that it was very difficult to trade Green.
“Jeff Green is like my son. I love that kid,” Presti said. “This is by far the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make since I started this job.”
In an individual deal, the Thunder traded shooting guard Morris Peterson and forward D.J. White to Charlotte in exchange for center Nazr Mohammed.
“We would like to thank both D.J. and Morris for their many contributions here in Oklahoma City on and off the court,” said Presti.
“For the past three seasons, D.J. has been the ultimate teammate and one of our hardest workers. Morris has been a consummate professional and I wish them both success. Nazr will bring veteran leadership and playoff experience to our roster and we are excited for him to join our team in Oklahoma City.”
In 747 career regular-season games, Mohammed holds career averages of 6.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game. This season he is averaging, 7.3 points and 4.9 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game.
“I like Nazr. I always have,” Presti said. “I know his approach. I know his attitude. I know his work ethic. He’s an unbelievable pro. Perkins’ and Mohammed’s professionalism are off the charts.”
The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart. - Alan AldaThank you guys for everything.
You will be missed.

Wednesday night marked the sixth win for San Antonio Spurs over OKC Thunder (105-109).
Six was also the number of available seconds Jeff Green had in order to tie the result. This attempt however, ended with an off-balance 3-pointer.
The atmosphere at AT&T Center was similar to a playoff game. San Antonio was trying to win their 26th game at home while the Thunder was trying to win for the first time this season against the Spurs.
Tension was building up when Gary Neal received a seemingly unintentional elbow from James Harden and especially when Parker got fouled from Collison on his way to the bucket.
The ones that received technicals for this were humble Durant and Tim Duncan.
OKC entered the fourth quarter with a result 88-80, but with a pair of 3-pointers made by Harden and Cook, the Thunder managed to lead by two points.
During the final seven minutes, Harden had the chance to raise the margin by five points if he wouldn't miss a three.
Tony Parker took advantage of this situation - he got the rebound, got fouled, hit both shots and tied the result.
KD scored a high number of 30 points and nine rebounds in comparison to the two previous games against the Spurs (he averaged less than 20). Russell Westbrook contributed to the team with 25 points.
For San Antonio, the player that had the highest number of points was Tony Parker (20).
In case you don't have any plans this Friday night, turn on the TV and watch Thunder's next game against Orlando Magic.
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
LA Clippers forward Blake Griffin was welcomed with an enthusiastic ovation back to his hometown in Oklahoma City. However, the moment the game started he was treated as any other rival by OKC fans.
Tuesday night, the Thunder won for the first time in Oklahoma City against the Clippers with a result 88-111.
A pat on the back goes to Jeff Green for scoring 22 points, Durant 21 and Harden who came off the bench and contributed with 19 points. Besides them, the bench altogether scored as much as 44 points.
"It was a good win, everybody chipped in and helped us win this game tonight." - said coach Scott Brooks.
Thunder center, Cole Aldrich made his first appearance after several weeks. He played 11 minutes, scored two points, had four rebounds and blocked a shot.
The credits for the Clippers' attempt to win, go to Blake Griffin who led his team with 28 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.
OKC now has won eight of their 11 games. Three of their last four games were won with a noticeable margin; 121-105 at Utah, 126-96 over Sacramento and last night's 111-88 win over the Clippers.
Next up for the Thunder is the game against San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.
Good afternoon, and in case I don't see ya, good evening, and good night!

Weekends are good.
Actually, they're more than good - they're great, especially when you get to watch basketball for three days in a row as your favorite players from different teams play side by side.
This weekend made no exception. Us, the ordinary people, had the chance to catch a glimpse of the oh-so-far-away stars, on and off the court.
Before sitting in front of the TV with friends, family or snacks, and just a few minutes before seeing Durant, Bryant, James, and other stars, all eyes were on Josh Groban who sang the U.S National Anthem.
Unsurprisingly, his magical singing was flawless and fluid.
During the national anthem, instead of putting their hand close to the heart, most of the women (taken away by his voice) kept them under the chin while each one of them hummed the song "Killing me softly" as Josh kept singing.
After that moment, everyone's attention was directed to the game. The competition was amazing between the two teams. This was noticed especially during the fourth quarter where the West had difficulties but managed to win the game with a result 148-143.
With James, Bosh and Wade you could say the team of the East was the beast, but the team of the West was the best.
To the tremendous 148 points, Durant and Westbrook together combined for 46 points. KD contributed by scoring amazing, 34 points and a perfect eight for eight from the line. He also had a pair of steals and blocks.
Westbrook's 14 minutes were crowned with 12 points, five rebounds and two assists.
“It was a great feeling. It was fun to be back at home in front of my family. I had a good time.” - said Russ on his first AS game.
Back to Durant, his 34 points line him up as the 14th player in AS game history to score 30 or more. This number of points ties him with Tracy McGrady, Tom Chambers, Julius Erving and George Gervin for seventh best scoring performance in NBA history.
The MVP went to Kobe Bryant who scored as much as 37 points, but KD was second best.
On the post-game news conference Bryant mentioned that when it comes to getting the spotlight, it’s time for him to step aside and make room for the young guys.
Besides being proud of playing aside Bryant, humble Durant was especially proud of Westbrook.
“I’m so happy for Russell, just making the game and being in his home town. For him to come out and play the way he played, I’m proud. Hopefully this is the first of many more. I’m sure you’ll see Russell in the starting lineup in this All-Star game in a few years.”
Other Thunder players who participated at the AS game were Serge Ibaka at the Dunk Contest (had a great appearance but didn't make the finals) and James Harden at the Rookie Challenge who scored 30 points.
Now that the weekend's over, OKC's players are back in Oklahoma. Tonight the Thunder is playing against LA Clippers.
Our guys may be a little tired but don't forget what Tommy Lasorda said about doing something you love: Guys ask me, don't I get burned out? How can you get burned out doing something you love? I ask you, have you ever got tired of kissing a pretty girl?
No matter the circumstances, I know it and you know it - they love this game.

Daequan Cook scored 20 points as he helped the Thunder prepare delicious, 126 points against Sacramento Kings Tuesday night.
He also contributed with five rebounds while Durant had only 17 points and collected seven boards for the Thunder.
OKC had seven players with double figures - Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic both scored 16 points, Serge Ibaka had 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
James Harden contributed with 12 points and Russell Westbrook had a double-double of 10 points and 11 assists.
Thunder's entire starting lineup watched the game from the bench in the fourth quarter as the rest of the team took the lead by 25 points.
"We did a really good job of coming out and playing good defense. We played about as good as we can play. Kevin (Durant) talked to the guys at shoot-around this morning about the importance of coming out strong and we did." - said coach Scott Brooks.
The moment Westbrook did a monstrous dunk during the first minutes of the game, the Kings knew things were going to get tough. DeMarcus Cousins put this into words for us:“That really got their blood flowing…They smelled blood.”
Besides scoring a team-high nine boards, Ibaka jumped everybody out of their seats by rejecting a dunk attempt by Jason Thompson in the final two minutes.
OKC now goes into the All-Star break with seven games won of the last ten.
Next up for the Thunder is the game against LA Clippers on Tuesday, but before that, we have three OKC Thunder representatives (Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka) at the All-Star weekend.
Don't forget to watch them as they will return to Oklahoma with nothing but the best - victories.

"We just made too many mistakes to win tonight." - said Nick Collison whose words describe Oklahoma City Thunder's game against Golden State Warriors.
OKC failed to win last night as they fell to the Warriors with a result 94-100. Kevin Durant scored 29 points but committed three turnovers. Stephen Curry, except doing a sensational work of scoring 23 points and 13 assists, he also did a good job at throwing Russell Westbrook off his usual game.
Nick Collison had a season-high of 10 rebounds for the Thunder. James Harden scored eight straight points as OKC held a 28-25 advantage. The lead changed six times as both teams kept fighting for this victory.
Later on, the Thunder didn't give up as Jeff Green scored a three-pointer to make it a one-point game at 93-92.
OKC's focus at stopping Curry and Ellis proved to be a bad call since Reggie Williams took advantage of the gap and scored a three-pointer with only 47.2 seconds left.
After humble Durant made two free throws, David Lee finished the game with a nice dunk.
Next for the Thunder is Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.
See you then.

Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back after losing to Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
Saturday marked an important victory of OKC against Sacramento Kings (99-97) - the fourth in five games.
The Thunder took the lead thanks to Eric Maynor's 3-pointer which also ended the first quarter. This advantage continued almost throughout the whole game - OKC almost gave up during the final moments.
Our team was leading by only two points with 5.8 seconds remaining when Durant missed both free throws which gave the Kings one more opportunity.
All Thunder fans wiped their forehead - including Durant and the rest of the team when Tyreke Evans missed the three-pointer.
Even though he missed those free throws, humble Durant finished the game with as much as 35 points. James Harden had a career-high five steals.
Kevin Durant twisted his left ankle during the third quarter but kept playing.
"Yeah, it should be alright. Twisted it a little bit tonight in the third quarter. But you know, I kept pressing and putting my weight on it. If it was hurt too much I would have come out of the game but it was cool for me to finish the game and hopefully it will be cool tomorrow." - said Durant.
Next up for the Thunder is the game against Golden State Warriors.
Thunderup people, thunderup!

For the second time this season, the Thunder showed to Utah Jazz what is it like to play for the name in front of the jersey not the one on the back.
OKC won over Utah with a result 121-105 Saturday night as the crowd at EnergySolutions Arena watched magic happen silently.
Russell Westbrook proved to everybody he's one of Oklahoma City Thunder's main pillars as he scored 33 points, 10 assists and a marvelous, career-high four 3-pointers.
Humble Durant scored 21 points and 12 rebounds, Jeff Green had 20, while former Jazzman Eric Maynor came off the bench and scored 10 points in the first half.
The Thunder had a few problems at the beginning of the game with Utah scoring their first 11 shots. But shortly after that, our guys bounced back at their usual majesty which they make it look so simple.
OKC took the lead of the game on the second quarter when Green switched over a three-point play by changing it 57-56. Green didn't stop at this - he continued scoring another three-point play to help the Thunder leave behind Utah with a result 62-57 at halftime.
This game marked the fifth victory of their last six games which contributed at Thunder leading the Northwest Division.
Next for the Thunder is Memphis, Tuesday. Until then, don't forget - THUNDERUP!!!
Thursday, February 3, 2011
It was one of those games.
You know, the ones where even the snow storm can't stop Durant from scoring 43 points; 10 rebounds were also added by him to mark an important victory over the New Orleans Hornets (104-93).
Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook also contributed by scoring 12, respectively 10 points and eight assists.
Serge Ibaka also did a great job by scoring eight points, 12 rebounds and six blocks.
"I think his first three possessions he gave us three rebounds and that's what we want from him every night. I thought he was really good. He was active tonight, and that's what we need from him."- Brooks said.
This was Thabo Sefolosha's third straight missed game because of his sprained left knee. His status remains day-to-day.
OKC's defense was at their best during the third quarter, limiting the Hornets to only 17 points on 4-for-20 shooting. With time running out, Durant grabbed a rebound and nailed a step-back jumper at the buzzer.
David West led the Hornets with 20 points and 15 rebounds. Chris Paul added his share with 15 points and five assists. Hornets' forward Trevor Ariza left left the game during the third quarter due to a sprained ankle.
Although they tried their best, the only worth-mentioning highlight from New Orleans Hornets was when their bus got stuck and they had to switch to another one. While doing so, Chris Paul and Trevor Ariza decided to throw snowballs at coach Monty Williams, who playfully said he has yet to determine their fines.
Thunder's next game is against Phoenix, Friday night. Until then...
Thursday, January 27, 2011
OKC Thunder won over Minnesota Timberwolves in OT with a tight result 118-117.
This happened all thanks to Durant's amazing appearance who managed to score as many as 47 points and a career-high 18 rebounds.
By doing this, humble Durant helped the Thunder get back on their feet from a three-game road losing streak.
Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook also landed a hand at last night's victory. Green scored 19 points while Westbrook added 16.
Durant showed his scoring abilities especially during the final minutes of the game. He kept scoring big shots which helped at stopping the Timberwovles.
During the overtime, the two teams applied the saying "it's all or nothing". There was hardly ever a two-point lead that stayed like that for long. But the turning point was definitely a missed free throw by Corey Brewer with 7.6 remaining in OT.
The Thunder took advantage of that and closed the game with a one point win.
To close it up, here's something that humble Durant said that's worth putting on the best basketball quotes - "...a fun game to be a part of. A game as a fan you hate to see end. As a player you want to play these type of games".
Friday, January 21, 2011
If it's sharp, shiny or electric, avoid it at all costs.
"Score at will" is the best way to put into words Russell Westbrook's game against the Lakers. His amazing 32 points, 12 assists and two steals weren't enough though to win Monday night's game (94-101).
Even though the Thunder didn't leave from Los Angeles with a victory,at least they earned LA Lakers' respect.
"We don't look at them as kids any more," Odom said. "This team pushed us last year. We have to play them hard, or else they can stick it to you when it counts. They're still one of the best teams in the league. We respect them."
Our humble Durant scored 24 points but he was 8-for-24 shooting while Serge Ibaka added 11 points and 10 rebounds who marks only the third OKC player with double digits.
The Lakers led by 15 points but the Thunder cut it down in the third quarter to 78-75. Later, with only 2:04 minutes left, OKC approached to Los Angeles within 98-94.
But Westbrook missed two free throws of his own with 21.4 seconds left before airballing a 3–point attempt. If he'd manage to score those, we'd be celebrating and partying.
In other words - as Ricky Gervais recently said: It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it: breakfast.
Friday, January 14, 2011
A last-second battle is what defines last night's game against Orlando Magic. The result was very close (125-124) but even with a 3-pointer at the buzzer, Magic found the Thunder unstoppable.
Unstoppable is the perfect definition of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook's appearance - together they combined 68 points which gave the Thunder the fourth straight win.
Durant led OKC with 36 points (his third straight game with more than 30 points) while Westbrook added his second triple-double of the season with 32 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds.
OKC started the fourth quarter very well by taking the largest lead of the game at 98-86 which was the main indicator of the last night's winner.
Orlando's center, Dwight Howard scored high numbers - yes, higher than KD. He added 39 points and 18 rebounds as his team went home with a loss.
OKC's next game is against LA Lakers.
We need our team to get ready, relax, have a massage, sleep and eat well. Even though the Lakers are favored to win this game, the Thunder has the opportunity to show people that being an underdog has it's own advantages, while the Lakers have the disadvantages of the overdog.
Until then, Thunderup!!!

Never say to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook the words don't and stop - unless these two words are used in a sentence.
NBA's highest scoring duo put their magic to work by combining 62 points as the Thunder won over Grizzlies 109-100. Together they missed only one of their 24 free throws.
OKC led the game 99-97 with only 2:09 minutes left. After that, the Thunder scored a chain of nine consecutive points and took the high road.
This game's limelight was humble Durant who scored 40 points, grabbed eight rebounds and four assists. Westbrook scored a double-double with 22 points and eleven assists.
The Thunder as a team had 47 total rebounds and 18 turnovers while scoring 38 points in the paint.
"We beat a really good team tonight. They're a match-up problem for everyone in the league."
coach Scott Brooks said.
Durant and Westbrook are turning into the best and toughest match-up for any team. OKC's next game is against Houston. Let's hope that our magical duo has still some magic tricks left on their sleeves to win games like this one.

Tomorrow is officially the day when I become a year more mature.
Tomorrow is my birthday people!
Not that it has much to do with Oklahoma City Thunder or anything...actually it has nothing to do with our team.
Except the fact that my birthday wish will be all about OKC. I mean, I will ask for something special, like having a piano. Also, I would love to have a special Happy Birthday from KD...
Well, enough about me. Let's talk OKC now.
I hate to say it but - I told you so! Third time IS a charm.
OKC got back on their feet after suffering two losses. The third game wasn't going to be the same though. Our team won over Dallas Mavericks with a result 99-95.
The first half didn't contain that much of a solid game. The second one though, was a strong indicator that the Thunder was doing a great job with a much stronger defense.
The Thunder as a team, had nine thefts only at the first half. Seven OKC players were given credits for at least one steal, all attached to Durant and Harden's three steals.
Shawn Marion took care to almost keep up with OKC since the Mavs were short-handed. Of course, that wasn't enough to break the Thunder's defense.
Our team did a helluva good job with Kevin Durant leading the way - he scored 28 points, two rebounds and three assists while Russell Westbrook had 15 points and nine assists. Jeff Green had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Serge Ibaka added 13 points and eight rebounds.
OKC's next game is against Memphis Grizzlies. Let's hope that this time instead of Third, we'll say second time's a charm.
A piano or a simple Happy Birthday from humble Durant is a dream come true. But what really counts for me and you my friends, I think, is simply the fact that you can turn to someone and say: You didn't forget!

January is a great month - and I'm not saying this just because Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey, Elvis Presley, Denzel Washington and, ahem - me, were born during this month.
A lot of nice things occur on January but judging their last games played this month, the Thunder ain't thinkin' the same.
OKC fell to Memphis Grizzlies 110-105. Memphis carved their victory as early as in the first quarter.
The second quarter was all Thunder. Our guys managed to lead the game most of the time and also went to halftime tied at 55. The third one, needless to say had it written Memphis Grizzlies all over with Rudy Gay leading the way.
The Thunder as a team, collected only three offensive rebounds, while in general OKC was outnumbered by Memphis 42-31.
Russell Westbrook was the one who had impressive numbers - he scored 28 points, seven assists and four rebounds. Kevin Durant also had the same scoring numbers - 28, made nine rebounds, three assists and two steals.
OKC's next game is against Dallas Mavericks. Our team lost both meetings against them but hey, you know what they say: Third time's a charm!
We could really use a little luck.
I'm just sayin'...
Monday, January 3, 2011
The Thunder has been on a roller-coaster lately and definitely didn't enjoy the ride.
OKC's 2010 had a great closure by beating Hawks 103-94, winning previous games against Nets 114-93, then falling to Mavericks 103-93 and last but not least - San Antonio Spurs debacle 101-74.
Let's stop at the latter, shall we?
This game marked a season-low of 33 percent shooting which lead to a much deserved win of Spurs with a result 101-74. Our humble Durant also had a season low - scored only 16 points.
The first quarter was the strongest indicator that the Thunder was in a fragile shape. Our guys missed 10 of 12 scoring opportunities and fell behind by 14 points.
OKC though, won over Spurs when it comes to offensive rebounds (Thunder 14, Spurs 11) and turnovers (Thunder 19, Spurs 14).
To the list of season-lows we can add Russell Westbrook's appearance who scored only eight points and the 10 assists in total of the team.
Just like any other game, a player stands out from the rest. Although in the midst of a debacle, Serge Ibaka managed to score for the Thunder 14 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks.
This loss is very hard to swallow but we have other games to look forward to, such as Tuesday's game against Memphis Grizzlies. Plus it's only the beginning of the year which means that Thunder fans have one more number to add at their New Year's Resolutions list - to be more supportive of their favorite team.
Either way, I always say: Keep your hair and your New Year's Resolutions list short - they're more manageable that way. | 58sports

https://wtcampaigns.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/fancy-a-weekend-away-in-a-woodland-lodge/ | 2018-07-16T05:07:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589179.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20180716041348-20180716061348-00491.warc.gz | 0.964662 | 632 | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-30__0__245684156 | en | Imagine spending a short break in a tranquil woodland lodge, soaking up the beauty of the woods and wildlife around you. Just you, the trees and the birdsong. Wouldn’t we all want that?
So perhaps it is surprising to know that the Woodland Trust has objected to an application for wooden holiday cabins within a beech woodland near Black Wood, Hampshire. In a joint application with Forest Lodge Holidays, the Forestry Commission has applied to Winchester City Council for permission to build holiday cabins here.
This particular bit of beech woodland is part of a larger wood that has Plantation on Ancient Woodland (PAWS) and Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW). In fact half the wood has been registered on the ancient woodland inventory.
Whilst the cabins might be sited in an area that currently has much newer woodland, the outdoor activities that the holidaymakers are expected to do will all be within the ancient woodland next to it. This might not be such a bad thing if there were to be only a few cabins, but 130 lodges are planned for this rather small area. These include 2-person lodges, larger family-sized lodges and even some more luxurious ‘fully-inclusive’ lodges with hot tubs.
Building these lodges will be highly damaging to the area, and that is without all the supporting infrastructure required of access, shops, drainage and an electricity substation. Holiday cabins in a forest setting are a nice idea to help people understand and enjoy woodland.
On a busy summer week there could be 500 people or more wandering through this ancient woodland. Little chance of hearing the birdsong amongst all the noise of other people – these 130 lodges are only about 20m apart (not to mention the noise from the motorways that already run across 2 sides of this particular this site). As for the poor dormice, already so vulnerable they are protected by law, where are they going to go?
The applicants recognise the value of the woodland and have asserted that some areas of the wood will remain quiet areas as there will be no access to the public. But there is no information about how this is going to be achieved. As well as this removing open public access to these parts of the woodland, with the number of people they are hoping to attract to the site this is just not going to be possible.
Sadly this is not the first woods under threat case that has come to our attention this week involving PAWS. In addition, none of this fits in with the Forest Design plan that the Forestry Commission wrote for the site only two years ago which aimed to restore the PAWS to a more site native woodland mix, work to conserve the biodiversity and continue to extract timber.
Consultation is now closed on this application but there have been a large number of objections to the plans. Similar levels of objections has caused other developers to back down in the past. We understand that the FC has now started negotiations with various stakeholders including the County Council and the local Wildlife Trust and may also approach the Woodland Trust.

Brains visually processes the information so people "see" the image as right side up, according to PhysLink.com.
The best way to understand why eyes see this way is to look at a reflection on the inside of a spoon. The image seen there is upside down. This is because light reflects off the retinas, which are at the back of the eyes, explains Women's and Children's Health Network. The iris allows a certain amount of light into the eye and its lens changes shape to create a clear image for retinas to process. The retina uses cells called rods and cones to produce an image for the brain to process. Cones process color, while rods process blacks and whites. Together, they convert the picture into an electrical message the brain can then use.
This is made even more complicated by the fact a person has two eyes, and therefore two image inputs. PhysLink.com describes other processes the brain goes through to create an image people can understand. Along with flipping the image right side up, the brain combines the pictures received by each eye. | 46optical_engineering

On March 18, 2021 at approximately 11:31 PM the Brattleboro Police Department was dispatched to a motel on Putney Rd for a report of a gun being fired in a room and a bullet had gone through a wall into an adjacent, occupied room. There were no injuries. Within minutes several officers were on scene investigating. Following an investigation probable cause was developed and Jeremiah Ahearn, 25, of W. Springfield, MA was arrested without incident. A search warrant was executed on Ahearn’s room which is where the shot had originated.

A blast of cold, wintry weather has brought the year's first significant snow to the alpine areas.
In the wake of a cold front a very cold airmass moved over southeast Australia during Thursday evening, causing showers to fall as snow across the alps.
It was as cold as minus four degrees in Mt Hotham, where a couple of centimetres of snow settled on the slopes. This was the chilliest night since last October. Falls Creek and Mt Buller both dropped to an icy minus three degrees, their coldest night since Spring.
The Snowy Mountains also had a dusting overnight, after Thredbo chilled to below minus three degrees. Mt Ginni in the ACT dropped to minus two. For many parts of NSW it was the coldest night since Spring.
In Tassie, snow fell on Mount Wellington and other peaks.
It is not unusual to see snow during April, with falls possible on the alps throughout the year. In fact, the VIC alps saw flurries of snow during January, just one day after Sydney hit 42 degrees.
Further light snow showers are likely on Friday and Saturday, before a building high causes showers to clear. The clearer skies and lighter winds will lead to further cold nights.
The snow season officially opens on the Queen's Birthday weekend in June.

And this
family was so fun. They are young, brand new parents, have an adorable baby by the way.
And they were so laid back, they weren’t afraid to do anything and very, very fun to work with.
Here’s a few “peeks” from their photo shoot.
Oh wow, I’ve taken a little hiatus for the last year and half or more. But here I go again …
So much fun to photograph this little family. The awesome red hair from the girls is gorgeous and even though their original choice in location was a bust, I came prepared with an alternat solution. And apparently I wasn’t the only one there taking pictures. The little giggles and the silly little looks on the older girl’s face were priceless.
It was a fun photo shoot — a little “rusty” after not having really taken anyone’s pictures in a while except playing paparazzi to my own children. Absolutely refreshing to get behind the camera again and get creative.
The other morning we got lucky and had a clear day where we could attempt a family photo session. This family was so much fun, and they know how to have fun. I especially liked the little guy!! However, we had unexpected company show up for the photo shoot also, and that visitor seemed to steal the show from then on out. It was a four legged friend of the feline variety. Thanks again for letting me “shoot” you.
Okay so this week I’m joining in with
photo challenge. I actually have something that fits the theme!! Just yesterday we went and tried
our second attempt of getting family pictures done. I being the aspiring photographer,
and my husband wanting to save some moula
decided we’d use our tripod and a remote and take a stab at doing our own pictures.
My kids don’t like to cooperate for anything, but luckily we had a few pictures that turned out.
Here’s just one of them, with more to come later.
So be sure to swing by I heart faces and check out the other entries. | 51photo

Of particular interest are complex gain/loss systems, which, under special conditions, may exhibit complex, but PT-symmetric, Hamiltonians. PT-symmetric systems are characterized by a complex potential, which has neither parity symmetry nor time-reversal symmetry, but is nevertheless symmetric in the product of both . Under these conditions, the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are real, in spite of the fact that the potential is complex . Recently, such systems were introduced into the domain of optics . Their simplest realization occurs for two coupled identical waveguides, one with gain and the other with loss, such that the real part of the refractive index is symmetric whereas the imaginary counterpart is anti-symmetric. This realization was recently demonstrated in experiments . Here, we show that adding gain/loss to a regular photonic honeycomb lattice can never result in PT-symmetry. However, this unique system can support the formation of optical tachyons - a photonic version of hypothetical particles with imaginary mass and a group velocity exceeding the vacuum speed of light. Nevertheless, applying a strain to the honeycomb lattice may restore PT-symmetry, in particular in the most interesting region of the band structure: the Dirac regime. | 46optical_engineering

As a homeowner, you likely understand the importance of electricity and how grounding helps ensure a stable flow of power to your house, especially during thunderstorms and other potentially dangerous natural disasters. But do you know why “grounding” is so important for your home’s electricity?
What is Grounding?
In simple terms, grounding is the most effective way to safely return electricity to the ground through your electrical panel. When an appliance or electrical device in your home receives excess electricity, a grounding wire helps to discharge that electricity safely outside your home and into the ground. This keeps your home safe from any hazardous electrical malfunctions or static electric shocks.
How Does Grounding Work?
For most homes, the electrical grounding system is installed by connecting a ground wire to a metal rod that is driven into the ground below your home. The purpose of extending the electrical wiring system of your home into the ground is to safely get rid of excess electrical charges. Without proper electrical grounding techniques in place, surges of excess electricity can inflict harm on you or your home by potentially causing an electrical fire or even electrocuting you.
Electrical grounding comes into play most often whenever there’s a buildup of energy that results from something going wrong in the electrical circuitry in your home. While extreme surges of electricity tend to happen when lightning strikes your house or a transformer malfunctions, minor surges of excess electricity do happen several times throughout the day due to interactions between large appliances in your home.
Proper grounding ensures that even the slightest bit of excess electricity gets sent directly into the ground and keeps you and your home safe from any number of electrical hazards.
Why Grounding Electricity Is Important for Your Home
1) Protects from death, injury, and damage
If your home’s outlets and electrical circuits aren’t properly grounded, excess currents of electricity can end up passing through your appliances and end up shocking you.
This works similarly to whenever you experience static shock from grabbing a gamepad controller or some other electrically charged object.
Without a proper grounding system in place, surges of electricity can cause a buildup of energy that gets stored in conductive surfaces throughout your home. If you accidentally end up touching one of these conductive surfaces, that excess energy will end up running through your body, causing an electric shock. While static shock may lead to a momentary bit of pain, in some cases you could suffer severe burns or other fatal injuries as a result of electrocution.
In a worst-case scenario, the lack of electrical grounding would allow a power overload to cause an electrical fire, which is harmful not only to you but your property and belongings.
2) Helps Prevent Electrical Overload
Having your home electrical system properly grounded also helps to prevent electrical overloads from damaging your appliances. In the event that your home experiences a power surge, your electronic belongings run the risk of getting “fried” if your electrical system isn’t grounded effectively. This could result in the loss of data on your computer or smartphone as well as the hefty expense of having to replace broken appliances.
Grounding acts as a massive surge protector for the entirety of your home and eliminates any electrical threats from power overloads by sending them right into the ground and out of harm’s way.
3) Keeps Voltage Levels Stable
Having your electrical system properly grounded helps to keep the power voltage levels in your house stable. Providing a safe place for excess electricity to go allows the distribution of power throughout your home to remain balanced. This ensures that the circuits in your electrical system don’t get overloaded to the point of posing a hazard to you or your home.
4) Controls and Directs Electrical Currents
Grounding also helps to direct electrical currents to where they need to go in a safe and effective manner. By allowing for excess electricity to be sent to the ground, your home’s electric currents are able to avoid dangerous buildups of energy in random parts of your home. This then makes it easier for electrical currents to travel throughout your house without jeopardizing the electrical system or your safety.
5) A Cost Effective Way to Safeguard Your Home
Above all, grounding offers a financially sound way to maintain and protect your home. Instead of needing to opt for an expensive or complicated method of redistributing excess electricity, directing excess power into the ground makes it easy and convenient to keep you and your home safe from any fatal electrical accidents.
While it may not seem like a significant aspect of your overall electrical system, grounding is what prevents you from having to spend thousands of dollars on repairing your home due to electrical damage. On top of that,proper electrical grounding also helps in the consistent delivery of electricity throughout your house on a daily basis, which is extremely convenient in today’s age of digital technology.
How Do You Know if Your Home Is Properly Grounded?
If you’re experiencing electrical problems in your home and aren’t sure if your wiring system is properly grounded, you should contact your local grounding expert immediately to check your system for you.
Our team of electricians are ready and capable to assess any and all of your grounding problems to make sure your house isn’t at risk of falling victim to electrical damage.

Grand Junction Hotel first non-club venue accredited
Celebrate the first non-club gaming machine venue to receive accreditation
By Latrobe City Council - 29th November 2001 - Back to News
Tell us your opinion See what others have said
Traralgonís Grand Junction Hotel has become the first non-club gaming machine venue to receive accreditation under Latrobe City Councilís Gambling Accreditation Charter.
Latrobe City Mayor, Councillor Brendan Jenkins, said the venue was to be congratulated on attaining the highest award, five-stars, and being the first venue of its type to participate in the program.
"Councilís gaming premises accreditation program seeks to reduce any negative impacts of gambling in the community through a system of accrediting gaming venues on steps they implement to overcome problem gambling," Cr Jenkins said.
"Problem gamblers exist in Latrobe and in all local communities, and while a number of programs exist to help problem gamblers, much is being done at a venue level to reduce opportunities for problems to occur.
"Ensuring there is an appropriate awareness of time, social alternatives to the gaming machine area for patrons, adequate display of material that helps people recognise that they have a problem, are all features venues can implement to reduce problem gambling. These are all features assessed in Latrobe Cityís accreditation process," Cr Jenkins said.
"The Grand Junction Hotel is a Tabcorp premises, and all six Tabcorp venues in Latrobe City have now taken up the challenge of the social responsibility attached in attaining the highest award given under the program. Tabcorp have encouraged their venues to participate in Council's gambling accreditation program, and it is to their credit that they have taken their responsibilities so seriously.
"Each of the accredited gaming premises forgoes paying rates, but pays the equivalent of one hundred and ten percent of their rates directly into a trust fund administered by the Latrobe City Trust. The Latrobe City Trust then makes grants towards programs that provide alternatives to gambling.
"This is a win-win situation where people affected by gambling can take time out and become involved in constructive group activities. Through these programs they are able to develop new interests and friendships, and break their reliance on gambling as a social requirement in their life," Cr Jenkins said.

Marina Abramović is one of the brave creative souls that wholeheartedly embraces this movement and a clear example of that is her recent five-day performance piece at the Serpentine Gallery in London.
The exhibition was an example of mixed-reality art — a relatively new form of institutionalized creativity that combines virtual and augmented reality. Visitors of the gallery were able to put on a headset and perceive a 3D mobile simulation of Marina Abramović. The installation was completed in collaboration with production studio Tin Drum.
'The Life' mixed-reality art performance is an engaging example of the digitization of art that leaves the audience excited about the new possibilities that digital technology allows in the creative field. | 2artistic

Like financial incentives employers offer to keep employees from leaving, low mortgage rates have made many homeowners feel “locked in” to their existing homes.
During the pandemic, record-low rates prompted homeowners to refinance or move, resulting in most homeowners now having mortgages with interest rates below 4% or even 3%. A recent survey by Realtor.com found that about 82% of home shoppers feel constrained by their current low-rate mortgages.
This situation has led to a critical shortage of homes for sale, with new listings running nearly 20% behind last year’s pace. The average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage currently sits around 7%, up from 2.93% in January 2021, according to Bankrate.com.
The tipping point for many homeowners to consider selling is when mortgage rates hit 5% or higher. However, around 80% of mortgage holders currently have rates below 5%, which means there is likely to be a flood of housing inventory sometime soon.
Greg McBride, Bankrate’s chief financial analyst, believes that mortgage rates will remain high until inflation decreases significantly. The need for more homes for sale puts pressure on prices, dampening affordability for prospective buyers.
While we may be in uncharted territory with today’s market conditions, historical trends suggest that the housing market will eventually reoccur, particularly if mortgage rates start to fall. Although sub-3% rates may not return anytime soon, the prospect of lower rates could reinvigorate the housing market. | 21finance

Some of today’s facilities are built for today’s use with little thought about tomorrow’s.
The typical approach for a new process or drug coming to market is to start with a brand-new building and permanently embedded equipment designed around that specific process. That approach is expensive and unsustainable. New bioproduction facilities can cost US$500 million to >$1 billion and take years to bring on line, with extensive planning, permitting, construction, and qualification. Considering the rapid pace of discovery, innovation, and change in the industry, new buildings might be obsolete from the moment their doors open.
But retooling or reconfiguring facilities with their permanent equipment and structural barriers can be too expensive, time consuming, and disruptive to undertake. The result: Rather than contributing to company goals, a facility begins its life by putting the sponsor company at a competitive disadvantage. A dated design compromises a company’s ability to respond to competitive pressures, changes in demand, and technological advances that could improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
An Alternative Approach
A white paper from the Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC) and the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) proposes a way forward by upending traditional facility design. This proposal eschews building facilities around single biotherapeutic products. Rx for Change: The Flexible Biopharma Facility of the Future (www.sior.com/docs/default-source/white-papers/dflex2030—rx-for-change.pdf?sfvrsn=0) outlines creative and practical design suggestions on how to extend the lifecycle of future facilities so that they can be reconfigured quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively for rapid scale-up and scale-down, technological changes, scientific breakthroughs, and process innovations.
Universal Manufacturing Space with Minimal Structural Barriers: Foremost of many practical suggestions, the paper proposes a facility design that essentially is an outer shell surrounding a wide-open universal manufacturing space. By minimizing use of structural columns, open space is maximized for flexibility. Prefabricated modules, self-supported with their own mechanical capabilities, can slide in and out. That allows for easy manipulation of the interior to accommodate process changes and technological advances. Individual units can work independently or in combination, and internal spaces can be altered with minimal disruption from construction.
Stainless steel tanks for upstream and downstream purification are anchored to skids with plug-and-play power-amplification units for ease of removal and replacement within modules. Self-contained individual rooftop heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) units enable access for control, monitoring, and repair. Retractable glass walls open for module installation and removal and reduce energy costs with daylighting. An underground utility corridor and raised flooring system serves the needs of both the existing facility and future heavy utility users.
Modularization Enables Colocation: Additional modules can house fill-and-finish units that can be colocated on site or shipped anywhere in the world, depending on market demand and potential changes in incentives and/or tax regimes. Other on-site modules can house pilot production of drugs for clinical testing, allowing for cross-team consultation to optimize future production processes. Colocated laboratory areas — also modularized — are designed for maximum flexibility as well, enabling shared core instrumentation among other benefits.
The overall configuration allows for massive ramp-up of a single blockbuster drug. Such facilities can produce anything from monoclonal antibodies to solid-dosage small molecules either in large quantities or on a small scale. Multiple products can be manufactured simultaneously using both continuous and batch production approaches. The entire facility can be retooled quickly to meet huge, sudden demand for a vaccine or medicine (e.g., in response to an international public health emergency).
Focus on Disposables in Upstream and Downstream Processes: The proposed wide-open design supports the growing use of disposables in bioprocessing. Reactors are accommodating larger scale capacities. It’s estimated that by the year 2030, they will handle up to 5,000 L of material. Large plastic bags store and transport buffers and media in an airtight, dust-free process. They are connected to reactors by large-volume plastic tubing that’s also discarded after use. Efficiencies come as disposables are increasingly integrated into biomanufacturing to eliminate cleaning and associated validation, reduce risk, save time, minimize consumption of highly purified water, and lower costs.
A Future-Ready Facility: Additional changes from the typical design approach include separating shipping and receiving areas by process to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. An easily expandable footprint with flexible parking and transportation flow accommodates future changes in employee and freight transportation. This nontraditional plan enables adaptability and adjustment, allowing for new job roles, different kinds of collaboration, innovation, discovery, and advancement — yielding a future-proof facility.

Apple, Granny Smith
Can occur to some extent in all apple growing regions but is especially a problem where temperatures are high and skies are clear. Found more frequently on fruit on the southwest quadrant of the tree. Heavy crops that cause branches to bend over mid-season can increase sunburn incidence as a sudden exposure to heat and sun promotes sunburn development. Water stress can increase the incidence of sunburn. Granny Smith and other light skinned apple varieties are more sensitive to sunburn. Also, sensitivity may be associated with low calcium concentration in the fruit.
Initial symptoms are white, tan or yellowed patches found on the sun exposed side of the fruit. With severe skin damage, injured areas can turn dark brown on the tree. White, tan or yellow patches often turn brown within a few weeks in cold storage (sometimes called sunburn scald but not controlled by antioxidants, such as diphenylamine, as is storage scald). During unusually hot weather following cool or moderate conditions, and especially when accompanied by water stress, injury to the skin and flesh can occur. Injured cortex tissue is brown and firm and may become spongy and sunken. Fruit exposed to the sun after removal from the tree, either on the orchard floor or in field bins, can develop severe sunburn.
Sunburn results from heat stress to the fruit leading to injury of the affected cells. The temperature of the surface of the fruit can be as much as 18°C (32°F) above air temperatures when the fruit is exposed to solar radiation and 8 to 9°C (14 to 16°F) warmer than the shaded side of the fruit. The transpiration or evaporation of water from the apple fruit helps to cool the fruit while it is attached to the tree. Upon harvest from the tree or during periods of water stress on the tree, fruit surfaces and flesh can increase to much higher temperatures resulting in greater sunburn. The greatest problem occurs when fruit are suddenly exposed to high temperatures and intense sunlight such as when the weather rapidly shifts from being cloudy and cool for many days to sunny and warm. The shifting of branches during the season due to heavy fruit loads can suddenly expose fruit to the sun as can harvesting fruit into field bins which are left in the sun. A gradual increase in temperature and solar radiation could allow the fruit to adapt whereas a sudden change does not allow for adaptation and often results in injury.
The best method of control is to avoid sudden exposure of fruit to intense heat and solar radiation. Proper tree training and pruning are critical. Summer pruning must be carefully accomplished to avoid excessive sunburn. Overhead sprinkling and white washing of trees have both been tested with mixed success in reducing sunburn. While some reports indicate that overhead sprinkling reduces sunburn, the potential benefit must be weighed with potential increases in apple scab and fireblight. White washing showed no benefits in tests in California. Avoid water stress in cropped orchard trees to reduce heat stress. Once injury has occurred, there is no treatment to prevent browning in storage. The browning which occurs in storage as a result of sunburn cannot be prevented with diphenylamine (DPA) drenches. Careful sorting to remove affected fruit upon packing is the only solution once the injury has occurred. Injury will be easier to spot after a few weeks of storage because of the change in color from yellow to brown.

On one hand, seeing this cute little bugger again after so long is great, but the place where were seeing it is rather curious, to say the least! Then again, nostalgia was always a powerful pull, and Play’n Go seem happy to use that to get us to play their newest release with 5 reels, 10 paylines and two bonuses in which this cute little troll will have you ascend the mountaintop with the help of a grumpy beaver and even brave the dangers of Afskylia’s Skull Cavern! While the journey itself is a free spins bonus, it can also lead into the other bonus with enough luck, which is always a cool extra on the developers’ side. During the free spins, you can collect bags and coins, which can increase multipliers and transform symbols into Wilds.
Visually, it feels like playing the actual cartoon. We’re big fans of this art style – it has small, little details that really help it out. The glimmer of the more valuable symbols, Hugo occasionally lifting up his hat to greet the player, and between each transition from normal gameplay to special feature, the little troll also appears and says a few lines. It’s awesome at first, but it can get a bit tedious as time goes on and you see it a few times – fortunately, you can just click him away and make things easier on yourself. Equally, the user interface is on top of things as well. It does away with credits, so all your bets are in raw dollars, your balance is easily visible, as is everything else that’s relevant to the player. Keep it up, Play’n Go, this is a good release.
On the gameplay front, however, it’s not quite as interesting as some other titles. Part of it is no doubt due to the 10-payline nature of this slot, but it’s also somewhat rigged against you. We had a pretty good win, but after that, we could not for the life of us get another decent win until we were much deeper in the red – a behaviour that kept repeating over and over again. Hugo 2 feels like a game in which you either win early or you try to climb out of a hole that keeps slowly getting deeper. And while you can bounce back, the chances of it get increasingly lower as time goes on.

You can bet between $0.10 up to $100 per spin in this slot, which is a level of flexibility that should allow most gamblers to give it a try, from more casual players who don’t want to spend too much to high rollers looking to go all out. For us, the free spins usually win between 50x to 70x our wager, which is decent, but the bonuses are spread out enough that you will usually lose a fair amount more while you’re spinning. That said, Hugo 2 does keep a nice balance by allowing your free spins to lead into another bonus, but getting to that point can be a pain.
The icons in this game are without doubt great. There’s not that much in terms of fancy animations – most of that has gone on Hugo when he appears on transition screens, but it does give things a sense of place. The slight movement of the backdrop, the glimmer of the more valuable symbols – it all makes a difference.
Both of the special features are triggered by getting at least three of the symbol on the playing field. The first just asks you to collect three beavers, which grants you ten free spins. As you progress through the turns, you can pick up little bags and coins that can transform symbols into Wilds or 2x multipliers. At the end of each section, you can randomly win five more free spins, and if you manage to do it three times in a row, it leads into the second bonus, with three extra lives.
The second one requires you to get at least three symbols of the villainess, Afskylia, which gives you just one life. However, getting more of her gives you more lives, and the special feature boils down to a point and click in which you skip through the cave, and either fall to your death, or reach the end, at which point you get a 5x multiplier to all your wins.
It’s a bit difficult to really pin how we feel about Hugo 2. The presentation is great, and the bonuses offer a rather varied experience, but the prizes themselves leave a bit to be desired. It’s not that you don’t get any wins – but they just never quite seem to be enough to cover your losses until those big wins finally hit. Overall, we say give it a try, but be careful not to get too invested unless you intend to follow through.

http://retrocriticblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/dragonball-evolution-review.html | 2017-04-24T13:07:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119361.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00470-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.976145 | 1,048 | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-17__0__269673102 | en | The first attempt at a Dragonball movie was always going to be a disappointment, especially in the hands of a Hollywood studio. Unless they were willing to spend an Avatar-style budget on a movie adaptation of the classic manga/anime series, the project was basically doomed to fail from the start.
And so we waited years and years for... Dragonball Evolution.
Taking the basic Goku-centric plot of Dragonball and taking out of it key elements and dozens of iconic characters, Dragonball Evolution was about as lazy and generic of an adaptation as you could have possibly expected. Justin Chatwin, known previously for his part as Tom Cruise's rebellious son in War Of The Worlds, plays Goku and, although he's likeable enough, he's just not given anything tangible to work with and that ends up affecting his performance quite a bit. Yes, he's strong-willed and always hungry but he's pretty skinny, his haircut's nowhere near what it should look like and he's just... way too American. What I mean by that is that the whole Saiyan nature of the character is basically ignored or purposely misunderstood and overall, Goku, as a character, loses all of his iconic badassness to the point where we're left wondering what makes him so special. He's just basically Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid except slightly older and taller. Luckily, by the end he does turn into Osaru and wears the famous gi so there's always that but it's too little too late, unfortunately. The rest of the cast is perplexing. Master Roshi is played by Chow-Yun Fat, who brings some welcome star power to the proceeding but who not only looks nothing like the character but isn't given enough cartoonish moments to have fun with. Then you've got Emmy Rossum as Bulma and Joon Park as Yamcha, both actors who could have done their characters justice had they looked right and been written properly. As they stand: they're completely forgettable. Finally, we have James Marsters as Lord Piccolo and although it's cool to see Spike from Buffy play a main villain in a movie, his make-up is as plasticky as it gets and he is given nothing to do but churn out exposition until the very end. Oh, also look out for Ghostbusters' Ernie Hudson cameoing here as, bizarrely, Sifu Norris.
It's strange to think that a Dragonball live-action film is talked about so little when you know how many fans there are of the various anime series, the manga and the games, but at the same time it makes complete sense. Dragonball Evolution is a dire movie, for sure, but it's not the kind of awful that's particularly memorable. This is the kind of disappointing adaptation that fans choose to either ignore or forget straight away. It's not violent, funny, smart, entertaining or epic enough, it misses the point of the entire source material and rushes its way through an over-simplified version of one of anime's most popular stories but it's not completely boring, it's short enough that, at least, it doesn't waste too much of your time, it has the occasional humorous moment (intentional and non-intentional) and it shows, here and there, that the people making it at least saw an episode or two of the show. James Wong's Dragonball Evolution is a huge misstep but it feels like one of those late 90's game-to-movie adaptations that make up for how clunky they are by being just colourful and silly enough to be watchable, not so much like a complete, hilarious catastrophe. The special effects especially feel 90's and are easily the worst part of this entire movie. The CGI is messy, shapeless and underwhelming: plasma rays which should impress and shake you out of your seat are reduced to nothing more than fuzzy lights and volcano settings remind you of Spawn's badly dated video game-style visual effects. The green-screening is embarrassing and basically ruins any car or flying shot and anything where part of the set is present as the two don't gel at all.
All they had to do was make a brainless movie about topless monkey aliens with big muscles who scream a lot and blast each other with energy beams as future landscapes and desert settings crumble around them. Even if the film had just been one long battle scene between all the characters you know and love with the occasional subplot and flashback, as long as the spirit and the look of the characters had been respected, fans would have lapped it up. As it stands, Dragonball Evolution is a reboot waiting to happen: a forgotten stain on an otherwise epic franchise. A franchise which deserves much more than this half-baked effort.
Although there are far worse movies out there, this is by no means any good and, unless you're curious about how they messed up Dragonball or you feel like pissing off a friend of yours who happens to be a fan of the show, then there's no real reason for you to watch it. It's a terrible adaptation and a forgettable, below-par movie. | 41movie

You can see clouds, thunders, dark skies … and sometimes even the sun somewhere in between. He also produced a stunning time-lapse film showing a supercell outbreak near climax. It’s a fascinating dance that the skies are able to perform and a phenomenal nature phenomena to observe (from the save distance of my laptop).
