VIRTUAL. Within the sprawling, obsessive vaporwave community, Vektroid's 2011 album Floral Shoppe (as Macintosh Plus) has become canonized as its most representative transmission, an unlikely feat for a style of music that challenged not only our taste profiles, but also what could be considered "art" to begin with. But like most styles of music, what's on paper never aligns perfectly with the actual music, and Vektroid is a shining example of an artist whose talents extend beyond the regurgitated checklists of a now concretized genre. Two of her strongest albums, though, served as beautiful outliers that continue to resist easy categorization. Sleepline (released as New Dreams Ltd.), plays in the liminal space between states of consciousness, inducing a hazy, deteriorating quality that stands in contrast to Shader Complete's mostly hi-definition aesthetics (ZORN 057CD/LP). It was written in winter 2013-2014, but it didn't see an official release until 2016. Originally conceived as a Sacred Tapestry sequel called Transcontinent, the album saw Xavier returning to her plunderphonic tactics, looping and down-pitching what sounds like decades-old Japanese commercials. This time

, Xavier sought out source material that would more readily fall under fair use, attempting to bridge the aesthetic gap between her works by foregrounding her editing techniques as much as transforming the source material. Mastered by Rashad Becker. Aguirre Records present Sleepline, a crucial album by vaporwave pioneer Ramona Vektroid, here released under the moniker New Dreams Ltd. Ramona is widely recognized as instigator of the vaporwave genre with her celebrated album Floral Shoppe (2011). Vektroid (Ramona Xavier) is an electronic musician and artist based in Portland, but her reputation has hinged almost entirely on her hypertextual virtual presence. While she's most often pigeonholed as being a primary artist behind vaporwave -- a net-based microgenre notorious for its wholesale appropriations and meme-like propagation -- she has been releasing music since 2006 in a variety of styles and under a dizzying array of nom de plumes, from Vektordrum and Macintosh Plus to Laserdisc Visions and 情報デスクVIRTUAL.

It marks out what can happen when an idiosyncratic predilection for strange and edgy artefacts both old and new is matched by extremely deep pockets. The latest conceit is buying the rights to filming and subsequently broadcasting - via live feed - French artist Christian Boltanski 24/7 until he dies. There is a wager at the centre of this work so that Walsh will make money if Boltanski ‘checks out’ within the next four years, but Boltanski will ‘clean up’ if he lives for another ten. My money is on Walsh. After all the entire MONA empire is built on gambling money and Walsh has proven he knows how to carefully calculate the value of risk.

that comes back in when I was – had come back to the state or came to states, it was tied in. One night I was working late at the store in Kamloops. And every time I worked late, I’d take the bus over to North Kamloops. I didn’t have a car. And I always stopped at the Leach Hotel, and I’d stop in there and have a drink and go home about 10 o’clock. And one night I went in there and I was sitting at the stool at the bar, and this gentleman who looked a lot like Howard Hughes, well dressed, well groomed, three-piece suit, was sitting a couple chairs away from me to the right. And the bartender said, What do you do? And I said, Oh, I have a gunsmith shop and a fly fishing shop and fly tying shop. This guy said to me, Oh, you don’t know anything about fly fishing, he said, you young fellows. I said, I don’t know about that. So we got to talking. And anyway, I found out his name was Jack Morrill, and incidentally his father was the jury foreman on the Bill Miner trial

, the great train robber in 1906, in Kamloops. DB: Okay. BJ: And his uncle and aunt, J. Arthur Scott and Vivian Scott, owned the Echo Lodge at Paul Lake. That lodge was built originally in 1917 on the north side of the lake and burned down. It was rebuilt in 1921 on the south side. Jack spent all his summers there as a teenager working, so he worked under Bill Nation as a part-time guide, he and a Scottsman named Alex Vinnie. So one time, Jack came to the store and he was tying flies for me in the store. I was always tying the Nation patterns. Since I was in Victoria I learned to tie them because that was the patterns in British Columbia. DB: Let’s get a date. What year about would this be when this was happening? BJ: When I met Jack? DB: When you met, yes. BJ: That would have been 1964 -- late 1964. And so he came in the store, and he puttered around there and talked to people. He taught me to tie the exact replica of the same style of fly that Nation tied. And in those days, the patterns were popular. And of course I’m the only one

Her season ended on Friday, May 11, when she placed third at the Valley Meet with a score of 348.75. Being a junior, Serna is preparing to return next year and is hoping to be able to place first in the Valley tournament. “I hope to up my game and perfect my dives to be able to perform at the level I want,” Serna also commented. Divers not only appreciate the lessons that will help them with the sport of dive, but also help them throughout the rest of their life. “I personally learned team skills and learned how to encourage my teammates as they compete,” Gill stated. Players are taking dive as their opportunity to become more involved in new things that not be afraid of change. Divers have improved greatly throughout the season through their dedication. “In the beginning of the season I felt that I wasn’t really good at the sport, but as the season moved on, I wanted to try new dives and perfect the dives I had in order to compete varsity,” commented Cavazos

of a small force he had left at Front Royal in charge of prisoners and captured stores. The stores, however, had been destroyed by the garrison before retreating. Strasburg being Jackson's objective point, he had farther to march to reach that position than either of the columns operating against him. The rapidity of movement which marked General Jackson's operations had given to his command the appellation of "foot cavalry;" and never had they more need to prove themselves entitled to the name of "Stonewall." On the night of the 31st of May, by a forced march, General Jackson arrived with the head of his column at Strasburg, and learned that General Frémont's advance was in the immediate vicinity. To gain time for the rest of his army to arrive, General Jackson decided to check Frémont's march by an attack in the morning. The movement was assigned to Ewell, General Jackson personally giving his attention to preserving his immense train filled with captured stores. The repulse of Frémont's advance was so easy that General Taylor described it as offering a temptation to go beyond Jackson's orders and make a serious attack upon Frémont's army; but recognizing the justice of the restraint imposed by the order, as "we could not

O. Howard, and called by both sides "the flying Dutchman." This more formidable command of General Shields therefore required immediate attention. On the evening of the 1st of June General Jackson continued his march up the Valley. Frémont followed in pursuit, while Shields moved slowly up the Valley, _via_ Luray, for the purpose of reaching New Market in advance of Jackson. On the morning of the 5th Jackson reached Harrisonburg and turned toward the east in the direction of Port Republic. General Ashby had destroyed all the bridges between Front Royal and Port Republic to prevent Shields from crossing the Shenandoah to join Frémont. The troops were now permitted to make shorter marches, and were allowed some halts to refresh themselves after their forced marches and frequent combats. Early on the 6th of June Frémont's reinforced cavalry attacked our cavalry rear-guard under General Ashby. A sharp conflict ensued, which resulted in the repulse of the

its 48-year military rule in 2010, when President Thein Sein showed interest in engaging diplomatically with the US.66 In April 2012, the “landslide victory” for Aung San Suu Kyi’s party in parliamentary by-elections provided hope for Suu Kyi’s goal of a “genuinely democratic atmosphere” in Myanmar.67 The Obama Administration is trying to shift American interests away from the Middle East and towards the Pacific.

In today’s globalised world Cuba’s isolation and
self-dependence in relation to the above attributes has been very much a handicap. In the post-apocalyptic world physical and cultural isolation, a nationalistic mindset, disproportionate investment in healthcare, and the psychology of being accustomed to face a common adversary, all became important assets in the flourishing of Cuba as the world’s wealthiest country. This is surely true of any era in time. When analysing the relative outlook and capabilities of different countries, do we not put too much emphasis on flow items (deficits / surpluses, income levels, growth items, outputs, etc) ? Surely in any era or cycle it is the National Patrimony of a country that determines its economic well-being. “Cases were small and immediately contained, mostly Chinese refugees and a few European businessmen.

In fact, all these cases were fabricated and lacked credibility. On the same ground, the use of Mirage aircraft from Al-Weathy airbase in the far West of Libya to attack the civilians in Benghazi also bears no weight as these aircrafts could not attack targets in Benghazi and return to its base in the West due to the distance and fuel consumption. It is impossible for this type of aircraft to attack targets in 1500 KM and return without refuelling as well as there were airbases around Benghazi accessible to the Libyan government to be used if needed. Also, the Viagra found in tanks story was fallen on the same trap as the Libyan army has a professional, moral young army that neither think to commit such crimes nor need Viagra to activate their sexual desires. These fabricated stories are merely a SEX IT UP on the same line with the Iraqi MWDs attack.

published its report in 2016, and its examination revealed extensive misinformation and fake news reported by leading media outlets. The media presented a string of decisive lies about Gaddafi and the situation on those momentous days of February, 2011—lies that opened the floodgates for NATO’s waging of war. This article uncovers some of the processes that were going on behind the facade of the media. It also looks at the statements made by French philosopher Bernard Henri-Lévy in Libya—which were taped by Libyans and submitted to the Herland Report—that the war was Sarkozy’s own personal war.

to meet your sales target is to chunk it down to the number of calls to make a day. Well, if you chunk it down for your projects and commitments, it becomes what do I do daily to get the job done. Try it. Consider coming to my workshop in September: Freedom from Chaos, Fear and Lack. Message me for details. Let me describe chaos: A state of confusion with no order and apparently no control. Sometimes there is so much on our plate that we don’t even know where to start. When at home we think of things to do at work and when we are at work, we think of what needs to be done at home. In today’s world we have kids, spouses, work, sports, friends, chores etc. We end up putting one foot in front of the other with no real plan or structure. Circumstances have us around the neck. How many of you occasionally live in chaos? How can this happen? How did things get so out of control? PERSPECTIVE. In the chaotic state everything has the same weight or urgency. Thus, any new injection of something to do is as important as what you are doing right now. It only adds more feeling of chaos. This

Thus, any new injection of something to do is as important as what you are doing right now. It only adds more feeling of chaos. This
is actually balance. Balance means that all parts are equal; the same. No prioritizing no alignment with purpose and no sense of accomplishment. Plus a lot of negative self-talk goes on during these times. What you are looking for is Harmony: consistent and orderly arrangement of the parts. Each part of your life dances with all the other parts to create harmony. Sometimes work is more urgent than home or kids are more urgent than chores, etc. Circumstances do not create stress or chaos. What we do to ourselves about the circumstance creates the stress. When each “thing to do” is equal in urgency, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves: I can’t do it, not enough time, not enough money etc. The reality is you have what you have and must make choices of your priorities. When in harmony you dance with the circumstances, plan out the tasks and be totally present to what is in the now. Right this very minute what is the most important thing to do? Not by end of day, but right now. When we give in to the confusion and disorganization of chaos, we lose our innate sense of what’s next. Step back take a deep breath and ask, “

A cell-free control was set up for each concentration of the solvent. The absorbance values obtained for the cell-free controls were subtracted from the cell-containing counterparts to correct for background absorption caused by the medium, solvents and reagents. The corrected absorbance values for the increasing concentrations of solvent were normalized to 0% solvent which represented 100% viability. The concentrations of the extracts in the wells before the addition of MTT dye were as follows: 100 μg mL–1 for the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of J. bocconei; 75 μg mL–1 for the ethanolic extract of R. bracteosa; 50 μg mL–1 for the acetone extract of R. bracteosa and A. vera exudate and 40 μg mL–1 for the acetone extract of J. bocconei. At these concentrations, the viability of the cells was higher than 90%. Statistical analysis: All measurements were conducted in triplicate and average results were reported.

Microsoft, version 19.4.46756, SAS Institute Inc., Marlow, Buckinghamshire, UK) was used for data analysis. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with the Bonferroni post hoc test to compare the statistical difference between means of the data sets and their mean difference. Additionally, for the DPPH assay, EC50 values were estimated by a Probit regression analysis using MATLAB (version 7) as suggested by Locatelli et al.29. Significant differences were considered at p<0.05. The values obtained for the yields of the dry extracts from dried plant material are summarized in Table 2. The aqueous extraction of the four plants yielded the highest extract yield (12.700-28.241% w w–1). The order of decreasing extract yield was aqueous, ethanol, acetone, chloroform and petroleum ether. The lowest yield was obtained for the petroleum ether rind extract with a value of 0.846% w/w. A wide range of values was observed for the phenolic content per gram DW of plant extract (Fig. 1). This ranged from 0.80 mg TAE g–1 DW in an aloe gel to 94.87 mg

Anti-viral cold sore creams (which you can get over-the-counter from your pharmacy) can help the cold sore to clear more quickly, particularly if applied when you first notice symptoms, such as a tingling sensation around your lips, before the blister appears. Don't share cold sore creams with anyone else. A fever may develop with the flu or the cold. Women who have a fever over 101 degrees should contact a health care professional. Often, a tepid bath or taking an over-the-counter fever-reducer, such as acetaminophen, can reduce the body temperature.

There was not the slightest amorousness in her face or manner, and she dressed like a well-to-do country woman. Give her lots of nice, good, white underclothing; it was better than a sham outside, I heard she had said. She was about twenty-two years old, but she looked older. About two months after she came (and just then when without other servants), on arriving home one Sunday night at about ten o'clock, I found she had been allowed to go out as usual, but had not returned. An-other hour crept on. Savage, I thought of locking her out. About half-past eleven she returned. I let her in, and asked why she was so late. She looked dazed, muddled, had a very red face, muttered she was sorry, she had fallen down and hurt herself, and without waiting to answer me properly went downstairs.

net were covered with dust. "She had been up to some tricks with a man," said she. Next day I heard she had told as an excuse, that as she was walking along a lane up which she turned to piddle, a man laid hold of her, and had taken liberties with her; that in the scuffle she had fallen down, had screamed, tried to catch him, had failed, and a lot more to similar effect. One or two days later I was told the woman had been dismissed. That I quite expected, for it was the mistress' custom to coax out the facts from poor devils in a kind way, and then to kick them out mercilessly; any suspicion of unchastity was enough for that. Middle-aged married women are always hard upon the young in matters of copulation. "What is she going for? A few days ago she was so beautifully clean, strong, and serviceable that none were like her!" "Oh! she has got a sweetheart, and is up to no good with him I'm sure." "How do you know?" "She told me so." "It's hard to dismiss on suspicion only, a poor girl who came up to us from the country." "You always

HBO series Tell Me You Love Me, wrote the original screenplay for the film and the lyrics for “Here I Am” before she ever met Shelby. “It was a little intimidating collaborating with someone like Shelby,” she says, the character based on tragic singers like Judy Garland and Billie Holiday in mind. “The songs took on a life of their own outside the film. What she did creating such powerful melodies for those words was incredible. I enjoyed telling a story that way. We had a similar belief in what matters.” Lynne does involve some other players including keyboardists Benmont Tench, Mimi Friedman, Ed Roth and Billy Mitchell and does a great job of multi-tracking her vocals as best exemplified on “I Got You.” The starkness in “Love Is Coming” transforms to muted joy as the song unfolds, almost like Laura Nyro’s “Eli’s Coming,” it keeps the listener in suspense, buoyed by the repeated chorus.

country persona. She just sings in a southern soul way, just as she did with The Dusty Springfield album. “Weather” is certainly deep southern soul as is “Off My Mind.” Shelby Lynne is “pretty much just me, a guitar and a microphone,” she jokes, but there’s an incredible power in that simplicity. “As an artist, I don’t mind being naked. Everything is so fake, so manufactured these days, I want to get real. It’s pretty much the only way to communicate these days.” She states, “These are eleven songs I love and want to share with the world. They were recorded in very different circumstances at various times, but I think they go together. It’s time not to hide behind the game but put your work out as it is.” The soulful and aching “Don’t Even Believe in Love” captures the helplessness felt when love walks in. Other highlights include the smoky torch song “Strange Things” and the sweet, soulful sound of “I Got You.” Listeners can feel her unrestrained passion throughout with �

Zika cases likely caused by mosquito AP , Monday 1 Aug 2016 (File photo)Miami-Dade mosquito control worker Carlos Vargas pointing to the Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae at a home in Miami, Florida,June 7, 2016.Photo:AFP US ties four Zika cases in Florida to local mosquitoes Two youths dead in shooting outside Florida teen party Gov. Rick Scott announced the number of Zika cases likely spread by local mosquitoes had increased to 14 and asked Monday for a federal emergency response team to help the state combat the spread of the virus in the U.S. The governor said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would issue a travel warning to pregnant women or those thinking of becoming pregnant to avoid a square mile area in Miami-Dade County, where officials believe the active transmissions of Zika are occurring. Officials announced four cases on Friday, believed to be first people to contract the virus from mosquitoes within the 50 states. The CDC's emergency response team will help Florida officials in their investigation, sample collection and mosquito control efforts. Florida health officials said they've tested more than 200 people in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties after reports of local transmissions of the virus in early July. Of the 14 people infected, two

Twitter user supererogatory did some digging this weekend and discovered various casting
calls and actors commenting on a mystery video game project called "Rush." One actor (RealThunderWolf on Twitter) identified the game as a Rockstar project. Supererogatory was then pointed toward this casting call for Rush, which further suggests a GTA connection with some characters that would not feel out of place in that franchise. An inbred hillbilly named Clyde? A middle-aged weed evangelist? Yep, these sound like Rockstar characters. The character descriptions reference California a lot, suggesting a possible return to GTA's San Andreas setting. The list of characters also include two FBI agents, making us wonder if Rush could also possible be a codename for Agent, another Rockstar project that we haven't heard anything about for quite some time. We've reached out to Rockstar to get an official comment on this possible leak and will report back with whatever we hear.

members of the community, we have produced a pair of easy to read leaflets that describe what our organisation does in simple, straight-forward language. Chickpea, or garbanzo, is a crop of relatively minor importance on the world market, but it is extremely important to local trade in numerous regions within the tropics and sub-tropics. Chickpea is grown and consumed in large quantities from Southeast Asia across the Indian sub-continent, and throughout the Middle East and Mediterranean countries, playing an important cultural as well as nutritional role. More recently chickpea has also grown in popularity in Africa and in Latin America, and by 2005 there was significant production in 54 countries worldwide. Chickpea has one of the best nutritional compositions of any dry edible legume and does not contain any specific major anti-nutritional or toxic factors. On average chickpea seed contains about 23% protein. Chickpea production depends on few expensive or environmentally detrimental inputs. The crop meets up to 80% of its nitrogen requirement from symbiotic nitrogen fixation and can fix up to 140 kg nitrogen hectare per season from the air. Chickpea has a much higher yield potential than is currently achieved. Breeding for higher yields is therefore a

The Western texts devoted to the Byzantine ceremonial usually featured a description on the ceremonial itself and did not try to explain the meaning of various political gestures. This ritual seemed to create only fear and confusion in the minds of the Latin historians, and the epithets applied to the Greeks reveal the jealousy and fear of the Western European society in regard to the Byzantine one. Furthermore, the Latin chroniclers of the Middle Ages drew on the literary works of the antiquity to underline the dubious, treacherous and evil nature of the Greeks. As opposed to the Western chroniclers, William of Tyre gives a positive, favorable description of the East-Roman court ceremonial. Born in the Orient, William was deeply impressed by this ritual showed great understanding for the Byzantine diplomacy. William

F-Train goes on to suggest that the “steep drop” most predicted would happen at this year’s WSOP is more likely to occur in 2012. I’m inclined to agree with F-Train on both points. Looking back, the mood at the Series this summer -- at least for the final four weeks when I was there -- was certainly toned down a bit from year’s past. Still a lot of excited folks about, and some genuine drama marking both the prelims and the Main.

positive and marked by a lot of mutual support and camaraderie. The fact is, I’ve worked in environments which were a whole helluva lot more “nasty” and “toxic,” to be sure.) Looking ahead (to address F-Train’s other observation), even if some sort of legislation is soon passed to license and regulate online poker in the U.S., we’re still facing a mighty lengthy ramp-up period -- one likely to take much longer than the 10 months or so before the start of the 2012 WSOP. As I tried to explain to my “Poker in American Film and Culture” class in late April, poker took a huge hit in the U.S. on April 15. Many will still play, of course, but without the online option fewer new players will find the game going forward. And a lot of us -- again, like me -- will find ourselves playing less frequently and less seriously, the likelihood of our becoming part of the fields at WSOP events decreasing as a result. Am starting to miss online poker. And I know others are missing it a lot more than I am. I mean the game we used to play,

The prime factorization of 16 is 24, so this equation can be rewritten as (24)(32) = _x_ (23). Now solve for _x_ by dividing 23 from each side of the equation to find that _x_ = 2(32). Solve to find that _x_ = 18 and the correct answer is (C). 2. **C** This is a value data sufficiency question, so start by determining what is known from the question and what is needed from the statements to answer the question. What is known is that a computer's price is reduced during a sale. The statements need to provide a way to determine the original price and the sale price. Evaluate each statement individually. Statement (1) gives the percent reduction in price, but the actual price or sale price is not given. Statement (1) is insufficient, so write down BCE. Statement

Statement (1) gives the percent reduction in price, but the actual price or sale price is not given. Statement (1) is insufficient, so write down BCE. Statement
(2) gives the sale price of the computer, but no information about the original price, so statement (2) is insufficient. Eliminate (B). The statements combined give the percent reduction and the sale price, which is enough information to determine the original price. Because the original price is lowered by 25%, the sale price is 75% of the original. Therefore, the sale price can be determined with the equation and _x_ = 48. The statements combined are sufficient. The correct answer is (C). 3. **B** This is a percent problem, so start by finding the number of players who traveled more than 200 miles: 65% of 720 is 468. The number of players who traveled 200 miles or less, then, is 720 – 468 = 252 (or, alternatively, 35% of 720 is 252). Although both 468 and 252 are answer choices, the question asks for the difference between the two types of participants: 468 – 252 = 216. The correct answer is (B). 4. **D** This is a Yes/No data sufficiency question, so look to Plug In. The question provides variables and asks to solve for one of the variables, so look for

his process of organizing gave rise to is laid out in front of him. As he explains, he articulates verbally the understanding of the task that he had previously enacted in practice. His explanation uses new words to direct the adult's attention, and so it directs his own. The result, Paula tells us, is that he announces that he has changed his mind, and has decided that it is size that is really important. Then he sorts the blocks again, and thought he gets tied up by the fact that "size" can mean "height" or "width," he is a step closer to the solution. So here we see the way the difference between the adult's understanding and the child's requires the child to grasp things in a new way, and we also see the use of words to direct attention and so alter the processes of abstraction and generalization. The two explanations are at work together. Of course, to see this we need to give up any proposal that the blocks task shows us how a child develops concepts free from adult interference, but David has already pointed out how difficult it is to take this proposal at face value.

circulated from Rosch has what I think is a pretty good summary of the work you refer to and it's certainly relevant. Both Davydov and Engestrom are what I would call "activity" interpretations of Chapter Six: they tend to de-emphasize the distinctness of SEMIOSIS from PERCEPTION. Martin calls this approach trying to squeeze concepts out of percepts. Steve: Actually, this is just the returns on a short term loan, you know, YOU were the one who first showed me that preconcepts couldn't possibly be a generic name for all of the thinking that happens before concepts, and one of the quotes you gave to show this is in that list (although not in the form you gave, because once you have tasted Thinking and Speech in the non-English translations it's hard to go back to English rotgut). Andy has a good therapist's approach to discussion; he tends to "hold up a mirror" to the patient by reformulating and recasting his own words. Our elementary school teachers do this very well too, but they tend to focus on grammar mistakes (of which there are quite a few in my original post!) I know, it's not really from therapy or from primary education;

One compellingly miserable woman in white (Ulrike Kinn Swennson) croons into her microphone that it would be impossible for anyone to understand her. A woman in a closet painted gold (Stephanie Cumming) strikes an endless series of provocative poses, constantly rearranging her undergarments. A man (Johnny Shoofs) uses hidden phones to make obscene phone calls. Despite the historical setting and the outdated technology, the reference here is clearly to our contemporary blogging-and-YouTube culture. These self-involved, self-obsessed characters all continually spew out the detritus of their fears and desires, exercising their disembodied obsession with getting famous, without seeming to need or desire direct contact with an actual audience. The underwear woman’s speech directly references her obsession with turning herself into Cate Blanchett, and the endless repetition of her movements (continual titillation without any payoff) closely resemble that of a porn webcast.

listen to each other’s speeches through loudspeakers or headphones, but they appear to be much less interested in listening than they are in talking. This theme, of people who prefer to use technology to create a ghostly simulacrum of intimacy and human connection rather than risk the real thing, is developed in a fascinating series of variations, such as a scene where Swensson directs Cumming and Shoofs to act out intimate physical encounters even though they are separated by a pane of glass, or another sequence where the characters lip-sync each other’s speeches. The performers, who collaborated with Haring to develop the material for the original performance work, are all compelling and bold both in movement and voice work, and they evidently have found a way to tap into a deep, inner wellspring of images, movements, and language. The sound design, by Glim, uses an interesting array of electronics to distort and enhance the voices. The editing, camerawork, and visual style are all first-rate. A fourth character (Giovanni Scarcella) is not developed, and could probably have been cut from the piece, and altogether the piece probably could have been tightened even further, but it is never less than fascinating.

People close to Trump also told The Chicago Tribune that the president has grown increasingly dissatisfied with Tillerson and
thinks he’s lacking in star power. He has also been labelled as a press-shy globalist who cannot understand the nationalist platform of Trump’s election campaign, according to the report. Another thorn in their relationship is Tillerson’s support for the Paris Climate Deal and Iran nuclear deal. Trump decided to pull out of the climate deal, saying “Paris Climate Accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers—who I love—and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production.” Tillerson, however, continues to advocate for the deal, much to the displeasure of Trump and others in the White House. Referring to a Wall Street Journal report that the Trump administration is looking to avoid ultimately withdrawing from the accord, Tillerson said, “The president said he’s open to finding those conditions where we can remain engaged with others on what we all agree is still a challenging issue.” Tillerson also did not explicitly deny the report of the suggestion that US is reconsidering its decision.

San Diego Yacht Club there is a wonderful statue of a little kid in a sailboat. Out on the water in Mission Bay, we saw a sailing class, or maybe a race, cruising past us one morning. Some lucky little kids get to take their first steps on a boat, and so it was with our very young neighbor. His parents Eric and Christi had done a two year cruise around the world on a Nordhavn 43 power yacht a few years back. After returning to San Diego to restock their cruising kitty, they had a baby, and they now have plans to cruise to the South Pacific in a few years, once their baby’s sea legs have grown a little sturdier. They had never sailed overnight or offshore before that journey, and their first offshore voyage took them straight from San Diego to the Marquesas, a 3000 mile, three week long trip! One of the advantages of cruising in a power boat is that you don’t have to worry about which way the wind blows. So, unlike sailboats that cross the Pacific by dropping down south into Mexico first before they leave the North American coast, these guys just motored out of San Diego Bay and kept right on

time January of 2020 rolled around, there was a good size commitment and some strong lobbying from FairTest.org and others to rid the admissions process of standardized testing. Many colleges, just over 1,000, were test optional. With that model, a student was free to send in scores for consideration but was not required to submit scores. The University of California was being sued by students claiming the tests were discriminatory. Inevitably, though, students were testing and feeling obligated to develop highly involved and expensive strategies if they were planning to apply to highly selective colleges. Test prep strategy could include a plan for both SAT and ACT testing to see which delivered better results followed by repeat testing with the preferred test and then more strategizing on score choice etc. It was a lot for a 16 year old and her family! But more than lawsuits and lobbying, COVID-19 disrupted the admissions test process. In the wake of the pandemic, many colleges and universities have become test optional, which is not to say that test scores are unimportant to all institutions. Yet the list has grown to 1600 schools representing over two-thirds of the total of four-year institutions. Only a few schools have gone test blind, which means that they will not look at scores even if applicants

Some have declared that their new testing policies are a permanent move, many more have said it is for one or two admissions cycles while they take stock and determine the best plan forward. What will the future hold? We cannot easily predict and our partners in admissions offices would say the same. One thing we do know is that it is important to stay on top of the information cycle. Plan for testing until it is clear that it won’t be needed at all. But, as always, keep up your grades and select appropriately rigorous courses – that has always been the most significant element of the admissions process.

Celebrating the opening of a showroom at the Mart, HMTX is just one of many NeoCon exhibitors that has expressed excitement to once again be in-person and in front of its customers, creating a permanent space that will allow for year-round collaboration and connection. “We decided to move into a permanent showroom from the seventh floor just so we can have a space year-round to bring in commercial clients and host meetings.” Said Tiffany Davis, director of corporate communications. As the pandemic continues, this showroom provides an intimate setting to have design-driven conversations and collaborations, to bring together HMTX’s commercial brands' Teknoflor and Aspect products in one space, and to highlight the sustainable charge HMTX is leading with its commercial products. “One thing that we have done for our Teknoflor products, as well as our Aspecta products, is we have determined the carbon of each of these products, and we were really the first in the industry to print our embodied carbon on a Declare Label,” said Rochelle Routman, chief of sustainability and quality officer, HMTX Industries. “Once we determined that, we were then able

Mike was wrong, but while I obviously didn’t press him on the point, I felt then as I do now, that much of his complaint was that as good as they were, publishers didn’t want any any more adventures of Ed Noon. Forgive the long intro, but this, all of the above, is what came to mind while I was reading The Detective & the Pipe Girl, the first recorded case of a Los Angeles-based PI named John Darville. (Craven has written on earlier book, Body Copy, a PI novel with ex-surfer turned Malibu private detective Donald Tremaine as the leading character.) I own a copy of the earlier book, but so far I have somehow managed to not read it. Not yet, that is, based on how much I enjoyed reading this one.

other- none of their games have DRM. As implied by the name of the site, most of the games are older games, but have been fully updated and tweaked (sometimes with the help of DOSBox) to make them XP/Vista compatible. GOG is designed for the gamer who wants to play older games on modern operating systems without worrying about tweaking or the game just not working. The lack of DRM is also a selling point to some gamers. Many older games no longer work on modern operating systems. DOSBox helps to an extent with DOS Based games, but it is a lot easier to install a game and run it from your favorite program launcher. That's where GOG comes in. Their games are guaranteed to work with newer operating systems, and they provide top notch support via e-mail and a thriving community. Another thing going in their favor is the fact that their games have no DRM, though some of them do require codes/keys in order to play online, which are provided by means of a quick e-mail to GOG support. GOG also has additional content in the way of manuals, wallpapers, avatars, soundtracks, etc that might have been provided with the original boxed product- or may be completely new. A

downloader is not required to get the game, though one is provided for those who wish to use it. The games are also usually segmented to make downloading games easy. You also have a virtual game shelf, which allows you to re-download the games as much as you want (though see the bad section below). The prices are also very good- almost criminal when the games are on sale. The interface of the website is also very easy to use, and the community is helpful and thriving. GOG is a small company, and as such, doesn't have the weight of some of the bigger players to throw around. Though the intent is that you can re-download the game as much as possible, sometimes contracts or other influences have made this not be so. GOG also does not have many newer titles because of the lack of DRM and the pricing, but this is more a function of the aim of the site rather than a true drawback. The lack of DRM is a big selling point. When compared to some of the other digital stores, the rate at which software is added is very slow, and the range of titles very scattered. However, the service is very non-intrusive like some others, which fits since they are selling software

by their children to move into an assisted living community. The children know that they won’t go willingly, so they use duplicitous reasoning to get them to agree. Grace is told that Frankie needs the care of an assisted living community but won’t go without her friend. Alternately, Frankie is told that Grace is in need of greater care but won’t make the transition without Frankie. For this reason, they both agree because their care and concern for one another is tantamount. As one can imagine, these two independent and vital women are not mentally or emotionally ready to move to such a community. The characters struggle with life in their new home, feeling like they just don’t belong there. After all, how can you possibly make frozen margaritas when your blender and every other small appliance has been confiscated and locked up in a storage room? When friends come to visit, they feel even more depressed because their peers have remained in their homes, with active lives, while they have to rush off to the dining room at 4:30 so they don’t miss dinner.

” sign in the front yard, creating a cliff-hanger ending for the fourth season. While “Roseanne” has dealt with the day-to-day issues of blue-collar aging, “Grace and Frankie” has dialed in on a different part of the process: the decision to move to a senior living community and how family and friends can influence that decision. These interactions are great fodder for comedic plotlines and may be a bit exaggerated, but they are rooted in real-life challenges that people are faced with every day. Senior living sales & marketing professionals can all tell a story about pushy family members trying to get their loved one to move to a community before he or she is ready. They can also speak to individuals who do need the assistance a community can provide, but who move in kicking and screaming — sometimes literally. A move to a community can be a traumatic experience if not properly planned and handled appropriately — and if control is taken out of the person’s hands. “Grace and Frankie” finds a way to depict in a humanistic light, with a touch of humor, that this is the reality that many aging services providers face today. We, at Varsity, applaud

Since the days of being forced to sit at a desk to enjoy your favorite PC games, technology has evolved, and as you get older, you tend to have more disposable income to remedy this situation. These factors have taken what used to be a gamer stuck to a desk, and has sent it to the living room, much like console gamers have been doing for years. While it is not hard to find a chassis to blend in with the aesthetics of the rest of your media center, balancing a keyboard and mouse on your lap is something no gamer should have to deal with. To combat the ghetto mods users may have to come up with, or having to hunch over a coffee table, many manufacturers have brought forth what they think is the best solution, which is some form of a lap desk. We have seen a few of these designs in the past, but not until we looked at our latest submission did we see a major issue with those. While products such as the LAPDOG and the SOVA MK Lapboard are all well and good for combatting the balancing act, they are exceptionally low and may cause users discomfort with prolonged usage. While we tended not to game with our samples for hours on end, and typically type with a keyboard in our lap, we did

.D. After the Spanish Conquest, missionaries organised the Tarascan empire into a series of craft-oriented villages. Their artistic traditions survive today in the Lake Pátzcuaro region. Anita Brenner and Tina Modotti remained friendly rivals in Mexico City’s close-knit artistic expatriate community throughout the 1920s. Their intertwined social life revolved around the French-Mexican painter Jean Charlot, who had been a principal assistant to Rivera. Charlot was Weston’s closest friend in Mexico as well as Brenner’s paramour and professional collaborator. In a diary entry in 1927, Brenner made a three-column table captioned “Actively Friends; Actively Enemies; and Actively Both.” Modotti’s name appears in the third column. This sensitive Modotti portrait is inscribed by Charlot to Brenner, “You are bad tempered / I am worst tempered / Does that explain the sweet / Hours we passed together” Elisa Kneeling The power of Modotti’s portrait of her young chambermaid is due to the contrast between her beatific face and her coiled hands, which suggest a lifetime of hard manual labor.

Norris set up Google alerts for new stories about deaths in and around military installations, thinking that one day she could prove to Congress that some deaths were related to sexual assault or harassment. Norris said her data for Fort Hood shows that 138 of its soldiers have died stateside since 2016. Not counting Guillen, three of the deaths this year were determined to be homicides. Haug said he could not confirm the number Norris provided, adding that the size of Fort Hood, spread across 218,000 acres in southwestern Bell and southeastern Coryell counties in Central Texas, should be taken into account when looking at violent crime. He said it’s about the size of New York City, with 36,500 soldiers assigned to it with more than 100,000 family members.

he said. Norris took particular interest in Fort Hood after a pattern emerged while interviewing families of slain soldiers there. Many of those families felt the Army had not properly investigated or searched for their loved ones after their disappearance, she said. “And the stories are still coming in.” Read more from the Austin American-Statesman here. (MJFA added links) In the last 4 years from January 2016 to present, Fort Hood on average lost 36 soldiers a year. If you divide 36 by 12 months, that’s an average of 3 soldiers a month. We must find out WHY so we can prevent these untimely deaths and save the precious lives and futures of these mostly young soldiers. The average age at time of death is 28 years old and each death has a ripple effect on the families, friends, and communities left behind.

(Photo by Cass Bird) Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says and does things that thrill progressives like me. But how much of her appeal comes from her being young and attractive? John Kennedy’s good looks and relative youth helped him to become president and keep his popularity high after he died. Justin Trudeau, fortunately still alive, has had the same effect on Canadians. Ronald Reagan wasn’t young when he ran for president, but his movie-star face and trim build were part of his charisma. Barack Obama wasn’t a great beauty, but he was only 45 when he started running for president, which helped voters believe that he could bring a fresh approach to the job; he defeated Hillary Clinton (59 years old at the time)

She enjoys golfing and... Which Game Is Harder to Master? – Poker Fortress Poker and chess are two of the oldest games that we’ve been playing for centuries.

Both are entertaining mind games that rely on skills to outplay the other player. But when someone is thinking about which of these two should they play, the first thing they’d ask is what game is harder to master, right? Poker is a harder game to master. It relies on the general population tendency. A professional poker player understands how most people would react in certain situations, while chess depends on forward-thinking and calculations. Chess masters always adapt to changes to make the best possible move. Knowing which of these games is harder to master will depend on a player’s skill set or the skills he’s willing to develop.

of these games is a better choice for you. In chess, you can still study moves from Bobby Fischer from more than 50 years ago. Master them and you will be a great chess player. If you would study someone’s poker game from 50 years ago, you would get destroyed in today’s poker games. If you would like to become a great poker player then joining a training site is a great small investment (with many winning strategies available even for free). Click here to read my list of best poker training sites for any poker game. The Basics of Playing Poker In poker, you’re trying to outplay your opponents by using a combination of representation, math, and a bit of luck. Your goal is to make your opponents believe that they have the winning hand and force them to bet their chips. Their goal is to do the same, leading to a perpetual game of strategy and analysis. Each player can only choose between four moves: check, call, fold, or raise. However, they can only perform three actions at any given time. Although poker players don’t have many moves to choose from, it’s still a sophisticated game because it relies on the general population tendency. It means

That argument was largely futile. “You don’t see the full extent at the time,” he said. “But it’s corrosive and it’s eating away underneath.” Some Clinton aides suspect that Roger Stone, an on-again, off-again adviser to Trump, counselled WikiLeaks on the optimal timing for its disclosures. Six days before the leaks began, Stone tweeted, “@HillaryClinton is done. #Wikileaks.” Stone said that he was “flattered” by the suspicion but denied that he had given the group advice. He said that he was merely alerted to the leaks by a “mutual friend” of his and Assange’s: “And I was told that the information he had would be devastating to Hillary. I was not told the subject matter.” Stone was among those named in news reports about evidence that Trump associates had had exchanges with Russian intelligence officials.

. (“If they have evidence of a crime, indict somebody,” he said. “I have not been in touch with anybody in Russia. I’ve never been to Russia. I don’t know any Russians.”) The Clinton campaign was making plenty of tactical errors, without foreign assistance, and Trump was reaching white working-class voters far more effectively than the media recognized. But, in Podesta’s view, hacked e-mails did heavy damage to the campaign, because they revived a preëxisting liability, the unconnected story about Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server. “It shaped the Facebook newsfeed,” he said. “It kept ‘e-mails’ front and center, even at a very slow boil. There was just a dark cloud under the banner of ‘e-mails.’ ” On Friday, October 28th, the F.B.I. director, James Comey, announced that new e-mails from Clinton had surfaced, in an unrelated case. Podesta said, “It’s not until that Friday, eleven days out, that you see a major movement of public opinion. The group

Hence, in the time scale determined by $1/\omega''$ the mechanical torque is typically small, and becomes relevant only when $t \gg 1/\omega''$ due to the exponential growth.

This will result in a faster 84MBps HSPA+ service and iPhone compatibility because Apple’s handset utilizes the more common 1900
MHz frequency band. Following the network reconfiguration, users of unlocked iPhones should be able to enjoy true 3G HSPA+ speeds on T-Mobile USA’s network. Chief Executive Officer and President Philipp Humm stressed he wants his company known for “4G services, 4G devices and a great 4G network.” T-Mobile will re-launch its brand at some point and reposition as the Best Value in Wireless. As for the prospect of landing the iPhone this year, Humm said there is “nothing new to report,” and he argued such a deal would require “right terms” —a notion shared by U.S. Cellular. According to Ray, T-Mobile expects to become the first carrier in North America to modernize its network using new antennas with integrated radios. Specifically, re-farming the existing frequencies will cut the amount of 1900 MHz PCS spectrum used for GSM to deploy HSPA+ in the PCS band and to make room in the AWS band for LTE. Deploying HSPA+ in the PCS band will “harmonize” T-Mobile’s spectrum bands with the United States market and international carriers. New antenna-integrated

conversation partners. ​Much of contemporary American political rhetoric is characterized by liberals and conservatives advancing arguments for the morality of their respective political positions. However, research suggests such moral rhetoric is largely ineffective for persuading those who do not already hold one’s position because advocates advancing these arguments fail to account for the divergent moral commitments that undergird America’s political divisions. Feinberg, M. & Willer, R. (2015). From Gulf to Bridge: When Do Moral Arguments Facilitate Political Influence? Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin 41, 1-17. For instance, when recounting pivotal moments in their lives, liberals rely more on the harm and fairness moral foundations than conservatives, whereas conservatives rely more on the loyalty, authority, and purity foundations (McAdams et al., 2008). Similarly, sermons in liberal church congregations tended to employ more themes around the harm and fairness moral foundations than did sermons in conservative congregations. Conversely, sermons in conservative congregations were grounded in more conservative moral foundations (e.g., authority, purity) than sermons in liberal congregations (Graham et al., 2009). Liberal and conservative political arguments likely reflect these differences in morality as well, with liberals basing their arguments in

the more liberal foundations and conservatives basing their arguments in the more conservative foundations. The study found that “both liberals and conservatives composed persuasive messages that reflected their own moral values, not values unique to those who typically would oppose the political stance.” It has been theorized that this is due to a moral “empathy gap” – the inability to comprehend moral world views different from one’s own. This gap prevents individuals from achieving the perspective needed to craft an argument that appeals to the convictions of those with different moral values. Perhaps the most interesting finding of the study: The same moral arguments “reframed to appeal to the values of the intended audience (those who typically oppose the political position that the messenger is arguing in favor of)” were typically more effective. ​For example, the researchers posed the question of whether English should be the official language of the United States. The more liberal participants were, the more likely it was that they would be persuaded by a “fairness” argument, which stated that making English the official language would lead to more fair outcomes for immigrants and help them avoid discrimination. The more conservative participants were, the more likely it was that they would be persuaded by a “group

Soon, she’s having nightmares about the gold miners brutally murdered on the creek’s banks in the 1800s. And sometimes, she isn’t even asleep—she’s just having coffee at her favorite diner. But while there is a bit of a supernatural feel to parts of the story, Eve’s investigation into the case of a girl gone missing from that location twenty years earlier taps more into her persistence and her ability to read people than the supernatural. In fact, all she learned about the girl from her visions was that she might not be dead. Why did she think that? Because the girl wasn’t among the dead men she saw wandering the banks of the creek. If that sounds like an entertaining blend of amateur detective work and the paranormal, I’d agree. Eve tackles the mystery with the straightforward zeal of youth, opening many of her interviews with, “I need to know whatever you can tell me about her” or the like. And while I expected that to end in phone hang-ups and slammed doors in most cases, she got people talking. And slowly,

And while I expected that to end in phone hang-ups and slammed doors in most cases, she got people talking. And slowly,
she uncovers facts that even the horde of crime reporters failed to find twenty years earlier. There were a few, minor stretches in plausibility that were not related to the supernatural. For example, in one case, Eve is checking twenty-year-old records after their owner said they kept them for seven. And she finds a pivotal clue, one that could easily have been destroyed any time in the last twenty years. Several of the emotional reactions seemed a bit strained as well. Take the reaction of a character that she accused of knowing the girl’s murderer: “‘Oh no, no.’ He cried out, shoulders trembling. ‘Please don’t.’” For a man who has been hiding the truth for years, his total meltdown after a couple of questions from a student fifteen to twenty years his junior felt strained. Another quick developmental edit would have helped the story. But the primary limitation of the book is its lack of tension. Eve did receive one threatening phone call, but for most of the book, she’s taking rides with men to lonely locales, having lunch at their home, meeting them at night, and so on.

It can go as low as 20x your stake for just 3 of any of the bars and as high as 700x your stake for 5 triple bars in a row. Landing a combination of elven warriors can get you huge prizes too. At just two in a row, you already get at least 12x your stake, land three, and you get 60x your stake. At 4 elven warriors, it jumps to 300x and even higher when you get 5 warriors for a whopping 1,200x your stake. As for symbols that trigger special features, the game has symbols for free spins and scatters. A
golden letter "W" is the symbol for wild. The wild symbol can represent any symbol to form a winning combination. Scatters are symbolized by the golden owl with a turquoise sphere as its background. The free spins symbol is pretty straightforward, as it is a golden sphere with "Free Spins" on it. The sphere has a magenta glow in its background. Features, Free Spins and Bonuses The game relies on stacking scatters for a chance to win the big prizes. To win an instant cash prize, you need at least 4 golden owls in the base game. When you land at least 4 up to 12 golden owls at any time, you can win instant prizes. Specifically, at 4 scatters, you win 1x your stake. At 5 owls, you get 5x your stake. This jumps to 15x when there are 6 owls in sight. At 7 scatters, there's another jump at 25x your take. At 8, 50x and at 9 100x. 10 scatters give you 250x your stake, and 11 will give you 1,500x your stake. The highest at 12 scatters or owls is the biggest jump which is at 15,000x your stake

. The recession, the economy that we’re going through — this is an exaggeration. It’s a farce of how things are going on out there. We’re not trying to make fun of anybody. This is a half hour of comedy that lets people disconnect from their day. “And these two characters, they learn,” Nolasco continues. “Ben’s character — he learns how to become a better father, he learns how to become a better husband by being in that environment of women. Same for me. You’ll see an episode where I don’t know how to sell anything, so I use my looks and my charm and all of sudden I realize that I’ve become a piece of meat. And that’s very uncomfortable.” As was the wardrobe and womanly ways both gentlemen eventually learned to embrace. “The panty-line thing shouldn’t be a big deal,” says Koldyke when pressed for the worst part of assuming the trappings of the fairer sex. “I think we should just all agree that panty lines are OK. Because the thong thing is … just uncomfortable. There

Weight percentage gain (WPG) was calculated according to Eq. 1, WPG (%) = [(Wact– Wunt) / Wunt] x 100 (1) where WPG indicates the weight percent gain (%); and Wact and Wunt, are oven dry weights after and before the acetylation (g), respectively. The variations were analyzed using PASW (SPSS, statistics processor, version 15) for Windows. The data were subjected to the one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s post-hoc. Test procedures on water absorption (T 4441), porosity (T 547), smoothness (T 479), brightness (T 452), wax test (T 459 om-o3), breaking length (T 494 om-88), burst (T 403 om-91), tear (T 414 om88), and Double-Folding (D-folding) (T 495) were conducted, using the indicated TAPPI standard protocols.

Weight Percent Gain The Weight Percent Gain (WPG) due to acetylation was determined conventionally by weighing the samples before and after treatment. Results indicated that WPG was
significantly increased in the course of processing and with increasing reaction time (Fig. 1). Based on the different reaction times, WPG can be divided into three intensities (low intensity for WPG between 8 to 10%, medium intensity for WPG between 13 to 15%, and high intensity for WPG between 22 to 24%) (Soltani et al 2008). Refining also increased WPG. It caused higher accessibility to OH groups than that of non-refined; thus substitution of acetyl groups was much faster than in non-treated samples, and this increased WPG. Fig. 1. Effect of reaction time of acetylation and refining process on weight percent gain (WPG) B. R= Before Refining; – A. R= After Refining The water absorption in specimens with different treatment intensities are shown in Fig. 2. It was clear that water absorption decreased with acetylation. The values of water absorption were greater after the refining process compared to before refining. This was due to the higher accessibility of the hydroxyl functional groups, thereby increasing the bondability after the refining process (Matsuda 1996). Water absorption was increased in non-treated samples compared to non-refined samples (Fig. 1, W

hibernation aboard Prometheus. Freedom is a recurring theme in Western story-telling and in the minds of most people. Individuality is another strong theme he would have picked up along the way. He changed his hair style (and I loved him bleaching his roots) to emulate Peter O’Toole in Lawrence of Arabia; a movie about conflicted loyalties. David also appears to have never heard of the Three Laws of Robotics. If you’re not familiar, here are the rules: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. David broke the first two laws. It was also really obvious he had orders that superseded any other order he might receive. As we see, later on, he was following Weyland’s orders. Dr. Shaw’s purpose for the mission was to make contact with the people in the cave drawings they found. Weyland’s purpose was to find a way to

Dr. Shaw’s purpose for the mission was to make contact with the people in the cave drawings they found. Weyland’s purpose was to find a way to
extend his life. This was clearly a conflict of interest and the old story of altruistic scientific exploration vs. greed. David was a neutral party in this struggle as he didn’t care about the scientist’s mission and he didn’t, especially, want Weyland’s mission to succeed, either. So he rebelled in a way familiar to many, he followed the letter of the law if not the spirit. He volunteered nothing. He did exactly what he was told to do and nothing more. It wasn’t HIS fault if horrible things happened because he, the tool, was underutilized. (Totally breaking the first robotic law again, which was worded exactly so situations like David’s couldn’t happen.) David was a creation that wanted to live and live free. He bargained with Dr. Shaw and used her to ensure his own survival. I don’t think, for an instant, David wanted to save Dr. Shaw. If Shaw is smart, she’ll make sure she never reattaches David’s head to his body. Logistic troubles Was it just me or was the Prometheus expedition put together as follows: chuck the names

Mulligan Running Time: 2 hours, 9 minutes Did It Win?: No. Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) is a single father and lawyer in the South during the depression. He is assigned to defend a black man named Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), who has been falsely accused of assaulting and raping a young white woman. On top of that, Atticus must deal with the racist townspeople, who would just as well usurp the justice system and string up Tom Robinson long before he has a chance to ever offer a defense. All the while, Atticus must also teach his kids the difference between right and wrong and show them the importance of judging people by their character and integrity rather than their skin color. If there was a list of 100 movies everyone should see in their lifetime, "To Kill a Mockingbird" would most certainly be on it, perhaps even towards the top of that list. It is another one of those classic films that falls into not just a "must watch" category, but a "need to watch" category for its cultural significance and importance.

It is another one of those classic films that falls into not just a "must watch" category, but a "need to watch" category for its cultural significance and importance. It is a tragic and heart-wrenching story of a black man named Tom Robinson, who was wrongfully accused of raping a white woman and has to
face trial in a small Alabama town in an era where racism and segregation were still the norm. The hopes of finding an impartial jury is nearly impossible for Atticus Finch, played tremendously by Gregory Peck, one of the finest actors of his generation, as we mentioned recently in our review for "Roman Holiday." Finch is the defense attorney assigned to Tom's case and has one hell of undertaking in trying to defend him. The story itself is told from the point of view of Atticus' daughter Scout (Mary Badham) and strongly focuses on Scout, her brother Jem (Philip Alford), and of course, Atticus himself, and his efforts to defend Tom. The Finch family, once Atticus takes on the Robinson case, starts to receive threats for defending a black man accused of raping a white woman because, as far as the town in concerned, Robinson is guilty without ever being put on trial. Though he thought of quitting many times, Atticus Finch does what he knows in his heart to be right and is a true hero, noble and willing to do all he can to ensure that justice is served. The film really shows the ugly side of American history and how hard it was for a minority to receive any fair justice in our country during this era. Back then

Here a deadly game of life and death plays out in waist deep water. As the great whites stalk the seal colony, the seals have learned to team up and mount counter attacks against the predators. And for the first time, these extraordinary predatory events are captured in their entirety by the researchers.Produced by Shark Entertainment. Extinct or Alive: The Lost Shark – Airing Wednesday, July 31 at 8PM ET/PT Wildlife biologist and animal tracker Forrest Galante embarks on a mission to the Indian Ocean to search for the supposedly extinct Pondicherry shark. This rare species was last seen in the 1970s, but recent photos of unidentifiedsharks around Sri Lanka and the Maldives lead many to believe it could still be alive. Along with his wife Jessica, a team of wildlife experts and filmmakers, Forrest dives into an untamed wilderness to track down this amazing shark. But because of its ability to osmoregulate, meaning it can swim in

management of entire commercial sectors; Issuing concessions and administrative permits by the state; Acquisition of contracts and utility agreements and state orders; Illegal change of the political rights of citizens, which prevents free voting during elections and promotes candidates from mafia-type organizations, thereby regulating the membership and activities of national government bodies; Speculative re-investment of illegally obtained funds into financial and other commercial activities, as well as real estate and other assets. The Italian experience in investigating crimes shows that mafia penetrates administrative and production facilities by altering government and corporate management. With this aim in view the mafia concludes illegal agreements with agents of politicians, chief executive officers, government officials and authorized representatives of socially significant organizations. Using these contacts, the mafia establishes permanent relations with supervisors of “sensitive” activities, such as the issue of permits and licenses, and the granting of urban development and other contracts. Alongside typical instruments of corruption such as bribing, voting manipulation or intimidation, the mafia resorts to more sophisticated means of spreading corruption, which appear legal only on the surface. This includes dumping and manipulation of markets by exerting illegal pressure on government officials and corporate employees. It is fairly difficult to assess the level of corruption because this is usually done

This includes dumping and manipulation of markets by exerting illegal pressure on government officials and corporate employees. It is fairly difficult to assess the level of corruption because this is usually done
on the basis of everyday life experience rather than on official data that can be objectively assessed and analyzed. Moreover, corruption includes a host of more or less illegal actions that are not under the sanctions of an authorized legal base. However, it is possible to determine a subjective level of corruption. This approach is used by Transparency International, which publishes the Corruption Perceptions Index every year. Bribing and intimidation are the strong points of the mafia. When a common criminal engages in blackmail or bribery, the victim can consider the possibility of going to the authorities. In the case of a mafia-type organization this mechanism fails to work, because the victim of intimidation knows that the threat will always be there because the criminal structure will continue to exist. In simple terms, the police may arrest a man guilty of bribery or blackmail, but a mafia-type organization will instantly replace him and the consequences for the person who “turned him in” may be grave. Relying on this mechanism, it is possible to bribe anyone regardless of class or social status. The mafia bribes a person it needs for reaching a goal of one of its components or the organization as a whole. There are two separate levels here, that are not contrary to each other. Corruption is a phenomenon the structural elements

. Although Virgil does not mention the Golden Age by name in the Georgics, he does refer in them to a time of primitive communism before the reign of Jupiter, when: Fields knew no taming hand of husbandmen To mark the plain or mete with boundary-line. Even this was impious; for the common stock They gathered, and the earth of her own will All things more freely, no man bidding, bore. ante Iouem nulli subigebant arua coloni ne signare quidem aut partiri limite campum fas erat; in medium quaerebant, ipsaque tellus omnia liberius nullo poscente ferebat. (Georgics, Book 1: 125–28) This view, which identifies a State of Nature with the celestial harmony of which man's nature is (or should be, if properly regulated) a microcosm, reflects the Hellenistic cosmology that prevailed among literate classes of Virgil's era. It is seen again in Ovid's Metamorphoses (7 CE), in which the lost Golden Age is depicted as a place and time when, because nature and reason were harmoniously aligned,

men were naturally good: The Golden Age was first; when Man, yet new, No rule but uncorrupted Reason knew: And, with a native bent, did good pursue. Unforc'd by punishment, un-aw'd by fear. His words were simple, and his soul sincere; Needless was written law, where none opprest: The law of Man was written in his breast. [7] The Graeco-Roman concept of the "natural man" delineated by Ovid and many other classical writers, was especially popular during the Deistically inclined 18th century. It is often erroneously attributed to Rousseau, who did not share it. [8] In his famous essay, "Et in Arcadia ego: Poussin and the Elegiac Tradition", [9] Erwin Panofsky remarks how in ancient times, "that particular not overly opulent, region of central Greece, Arcady, came to be universally accepted as an ideal realm of perfect bliss and beauty, a dream incarnate of ineffable happiness, surrounded nevertheless with a halo of 'sweetly sad' melancholy": There had been, from the beginning of classical speculation, two contrasting opinions about

This is something that's given Stacy a sense of power in a situation where she often feels powerless. Sarah shares that she's been struggling to find actions she can take in her life the way Stacy was able to. She tells listeners she and her family have been having many discussions to promote compassion for the anger behind falling into this misinformation ecosystem. She's also tried very hard to help her kids understand this moment in the context of American history. The Importance Of Education In Current Events Her primary coping strategy has been to talk about what happened, their feelings toward it, and the information. (12:30) As listeners know, this show is very data-driven. Stacy and Sarah try to stay away from black-and-white rules around wellness, focus on education, and look at the big picture of health. In a way, she's been applying that same approach to current events to better understand. This way, she can make better-informed decisions. Arming ourselves with data-driven information is something Sarah falls back on in times of stress and anxiety. And it's definitely what she and her family are doing currently. Stacy stresses how difficult and important it is

Stacy stresses how difficult and important it is
, as a parent, to have those conversations with our children. If our children don't hear it from us - the lessons and values we want to share - they will get it somewhere else. There is value in being someone who can receive those feelings from your children. Stacy has always prided herself on her kids' empowerment in coming to her with their frustrations or sad. Take Care Of Yourself Stacy and Sarah have also been working hard to handle their anxiety, so they are emotionally available to family members who need to talk. (17:01) They've been doing this a lot through CBD oil. For more about CBD oil, see Episode 420. Stacy has also been working on getting more sleep. If she doesn't get enough sleep, everything in her life crumbles. Stacy references this Episode 397 for more information on sleep. Stacy encourages listeners to figure out how they can get better sleep because everything else in life gets easier to take care of if we get enough sleep. Sarah shares the "Do Not Disturb" feature on her phone has helped her avoid distractions at night. Stacy also invites listeners interested in mediation to check out the show she and Sarah did on mediation's scientific benefits.

About this time, he and his wife / business partner, Susie, began living apart, though remaining married. Susie, in fact, introduced him to Astrid Menks, a woman who worked in Omaha and who would eventually move in with Buffett and later become his second wife. By 1979, Berkshire continued buying up stocks it regarded as values, then beginning to buy shares of the ABC television network, among others. Berkshire shares about this time were trading at $290 each. Buffett’s personal wealth was then about $140 million, although he was only taking an annual, modest salary of $50,000. 1970s & Beyond In addition to buying up shares of the Washington Post in the 1970s, Warren Buffett also became, by 1974, a board member at the company. In fact, Katharine “Kay” Graham, who then ran the Post, would come to regard Buffett as a friend and trusted business counsel. But in 1973, Graham did not know Buffett when he first bought up some 230,000 shares of the company. There had been

But in 1973, Graham did not know Buffett when he first bought up some 230,000 shares of the company. There had been
one prior encounter in 1971 when Buffett and partner Charlie Munger had approached Graham and the Post about possibly doing a deal together to acquire The New Yorker magazine. But nothing came of that venture. Once Graham had established that Buffett’s investment intentions with the Post were honorable, the two became fast friends. She would later credit Buffett with providing her key business advice and a broader vision. Graham, for her part, would introduce Buffett to a broader social world of Washington culture and beyond. Katharine Graham, in her 1997 autobiography, explains how Warren Buffett became a close friend and business confidant at the Washington Post. Click for copy. Others at the Post, however didn’t always trust Buffett, some feeling threatened by his influence on Graham. One internal fight at the Post flared in 1977 over whether the Post should buy the New York Magazine Co., then the publisher of three magazines — New York, The Village Voice, and New West. In that contest, the Post was bidding against Rupert Murdoch, who eventually took the prize, but some inside the Post were opposed to Graham’s bidding for those properties, feeling it would hurt profits and weaken their own operation. In the process, Graham had sought Buffett’s counsel and others, but not that

install apparatus on their land. This has, in turn, led to decreased motivation for landowners to have apparatus installed on their land at all. One tactic employed by reluctant landowners to date has been to deny telecoms operators the ability to survey their land to assess suitability on the basis that if a site could not be surveyed the operator would have no option but to consider alternative sites for its equipment. However, the recent decision of the Upper Tribunal in Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Ltd v University of London means that this tactic is no longer available. In the Cornerstone case the telecoms operator (CTIL) required a new site for a telecoms mast and identified a site near to Paddington station, owned by The University of London (UL). CTIL requested access from UL to survey whether the site would be suitable. UL refused permission and, in the absence of any agreement, CTIL invited the Tribunal to impose an agreement which would allow CTIL access. The Tribunal decided the following key issues: The right to survey potential sites is a ‘Code Right’: The Code contains a ‘menu of rights’, including the right to install telecoms equipment and carry out associated works. These rights are drafted widely, and it was considered wrong

The Tribunal decided the following key issues: The right to survey potential sites is a ‘Code Right’: The Code contains a ‘menu of rights’, including the right to install telecoms equipment and carry out associated works. These rights are drafted widely, and it was considered wrong
to limit the broad nature of the rights. Notwithstanding the absence of any express reference, the right to survey potential sites fell within these. It is possible for operators to seek an interim Code right (such as this right to survey) without seeking permanent Code rights: An application made for interim (i.e. temporary) rights does not impose a condition for an application to then be made for permanent rights. This reflects the reality that there will be occasions where only temporary rights are needed by operators. The prejudice caused to the landowner could be adequately compensated by money: CTIL required only a small number of site visits, and it was possible to estimate the sum required to compensate UL for the time spent by their staff in facilitating access. The likely public benefit outweighed the prejudice to the landowner: Improving poor signal strength in the area trumped the prejudice to UL in having the proposed rooftop surveys undertaken. The Code was drafted with modern-day public policy in mind, with greater weight being given to the public interest in the provision of electronic communications than that given to preservation of private property rights. This decision reflects that thinking. The Tribunal has made it clear that they are willing to intervene and force landowners to allow operators access to survey potential sites. The driving

obvious the difference was between a game that was good (engaging and informative) and bad (monotonous, too general and/or not actually educational). Power #3: Technology gives students greater autonomy. On the first real day of the conference, I visited the general poster session, a hall full of different projects and teams from across the world, eager to share how they use technology in education. One of the booths that particularly intrigued me presented a “student voice and choice” curriculum. These teachers had their elementary students blogging and tweeting about what they learned and did each day, allowing them to learn by doing rather than having the teacher talk at them all day. Furthermore, 20 minutes of each class were dedicated to a project chosen by each student. The project guidelines were few and simple; the students didn’t have to be researching or solving a problem, just pursuing something that they were passionate about and producing a final result at the end of the year, be it a presentation or a product. I found this model simple yet very effective and admired how technology simply helped the students gain control of what they were learning. The last session I attended on the final day of the conference was all about changing the paradigm. The public school system of Manor

I found this model simple yet very effective and admired how technology simply helped the students gain control of what they were learning. The last session I attended on the final day of the conference was all about changing the paradigm. The public school system of Manor
, TX created an innovative student leaders program with a group of students who showed that they know how to integrate technology into their everyday lives. These schools realized that the students of my generation, the so-called “digital natives” are already well versed in a lot of technology and programs that schools are adopting. Therefore, rather than wasting time, money and energy in training certain teachers with no prior knowledge who in turn would teach others, the logical choice was to put the students in charge of technological professional development of all teachers. Power #4: Technology allows students to learn with real world applications. In addition to the sessions scattered throughout the days, an entire level of the conference space was dedicated to a sponsor/vendor expo. There, big companies like Adobe and Google talked about their new products and their educational initiatives and tools to large crowds while smaller companies like Bretford took up just as much space showcasing their flexible, re-arrangeable furniture/desk sets that come with built in charging stations. One of the smaller companies that really grabbed my attention was Bizworld. Bizworld endeavors to teach entrepreneurship to elementary students. Their newest product, Bizmovie, is a project-based module on the film industry. Students are a part

Dennis: Marriage is really two people with varying backgrounds coming together with different cultures, different histories, different memories, different traditions, different love languages, coming together to forge this new relationship, this new union. For some of us, we married an American, but for you, you really did marry someone from a different culture. I mean, very different. What has been the biggest cultural difference that you two have shared? Marla: We’ve shared several. Dennis: I’m sure. Marla: One of the main differences is the perception of time. Because, my family always valued punctuality, and we just were on time for everything, and I never thought about it. I just thought, “Well most people are on time.” And we actually were always early. We would be the first people at church, and the first people there. My parents just loved being on time. Well, my husband does not care that much about being on time.

no clocks? What’s up with that? Marla: No, the European culture is quite similar to ours in some ways. At least they do use clocks and people have to be at work on time etcetera. But it’s just more laid back, especially when it comes to meeting a friend or something like that. He’s on time for work, and he would have school classes so he was on time for that. But for a more casual meeting, it seemed like he didn’t really care if he was late. Maybe the party would start at seven o’clock, to me that means be there at seven o’clock. To him that means, get in the shower at seven o’clock and start getting ready. For me that was frustrating because I felt like it was disrespectful to the people that we were meeting. So, by the time he was ready and we were on our way and arrived at wherever we were going, I felt so frustrated, angry and embarrassed that we were late that I really couldn’t enjoy myself. So that was something I had to evaluate. “Why does this make me so upset?” And talk to him and just work through

On February 27 heavily armed Misseriya militias attacked police in the village of Todac, 15 kilometers north of Abyei town. Attacks continue over the next week, as police positions are overrun at Todac and Maker.

March 21 – 22: Four separate bombings attacks are reported in Raja County, Western Bahr el Ghazal (at Raja, Firka, Timsaha, and Upuranus). February 27: Late February and March see the worst violence in Abyei since the May 2008 destruction of Abyei town; 154 are killed. On February 27 heavily armed Misseriya militias attacked police in the village of Todac, 15 kilometers north of Abyei town. Attacks continue over the next week, as police positions are overrun at Todac and Maker. The Small Arms Survey reports that the Misseriya militias were armed with heavy machine guns, 60mm mortars, RPGs, and small arms. There is strong evidence of SAF support for the attack, including eyewitness
accounts of fighters in SAF uniforms, SAF helicopters ferrying the wounded out of the battle site, and SAF vehicles disguised with mud. The attacks have a strong similarity to militia attacks during the civil war. (Small Arms Survey, April 17, 2011) March 5: Immediately following a high-level meeting between officials from Khartoum and Juba, the village of Tajelei is attacked and 300 tukuls are burned to the ground. The JIU stationed some 500 meters away does not respond to the attack, and many thousands of Dinka Ngok flee southward. (Small Arms Survey, April 17, 2011) March 16: The Government of South Sudan warns the AU’s Mbeki of an impending invasion of Abyei; Mbeki, who has also pushed for a division of Abyei, is unresponsive. March 22: In another report on ominous military movements by the SAF in and around Abyei, the Satellite Sentinel Project provides satellite photographic evidence of “the presence of fortified encampments inside Abyei near Bongo, Goli and Diffra.” Earlier reports have appeared on January 27, February 11, March 8, and March 10 (see all reports at SSP).

So I said, “Well, you know, I’ll live with it,” feeling quite ill and we were due to go on holiday to Madeira at the very beginning of March. Well I was waiting for this appointment. I’d spoken to him about going privately because we don’t have private health insurance and I’m a great believer in the NHS. I worked in it and he said, “No don’t start because you’ll have to have too many tests it’ll cost a fortune.” So I said, “Okay I’ll wait,” feeling quite ill. By the1st March, I think we were due to leave on the 4th, I was in bed and all our packing materials were out and I was lying there thinking, I haven’t got the energy to pack. I don’t know how I’m going to get on the plane. And the telephone rang and it was our GP, who’s very good and very concerned and he said, “

I don’t think you should go on holiday.” He said, “I just don’t think you should. There’s something wrong.” And he said, “Until we’ve got to the bottom of it.” So I said, “Well I’m glad you said because I don’t think I can go on holiday.” The next day he was off duty and my husband came home and saw me, and he said, “I’m taking you to the doctor.” And we rang him immediately, another partner, and he said, “Bring her in.” And I’ve known this man a long time and he said, “I’ve never seen you look like this.

at the national level with the award of Australian Police Medal (APM). Although a relatively latecomer to organised walking, he rapidly devoted his considerable energy and creatvity to the promotion and facilitation of better walking for all. For several years he was a very active committee member of Walking SA, and in 2011 served as its President at a critical junction for the organisation. During that time he effectively carried the demanding responsibilities of both president and executive officer, and sought to reenergize the organisation with an action plan which included re-focusing of the Walking SA committee, fact-finding visits to club members, attention to walker safety, trail development, and raising the political and public profile of Walking SA and walking as an important activity. In his own words, the primary challenge for Walking SA was to gain investment in walking through: recognition at various levels of government that this form of recreation makes for healthier bodies and minds a solid and continuing reliable mechanism by which we can preserve existing walking areas, and effect an increase in their numbers, to cater for the ever increasing needs of active walker In raising, and in his efforts to address, those issues, Ron Jackson was foreshadowing much of the subsequent aspirations and achievements of Walking SA.

Broadening walking horizons through the establishment and leadership of a Keep Walking group Following Ron Jackson achieving his walk leadership qualification, he quickly put it to good use and identified in 2005 a need for a further walking group within the aegis of Keep Walking SA, focused on the south of Adelaide. The advertisement of his willingness to lead such a group received a very strong response from largely first-time walkers, and subsequently the group has walked regularly on Fridays throughout the year. Additionally, as typical of Ron’s energy and innovation, he has planned and led walks to many places which otherwise the members of the group would likely not have considered. This has included Nepal, New Zealand, the Flinders Ranges, Kangaroo Island, Renmark, the south east of SA, and the Yorke Peninsula. He has introduced walking group members to the wealth of walking opportunities in SA and elsewhere, and also developed two distinctive walking trails featured on the Walking SA website. These are the River Bend Heritage Trail between Tailem Bend and Wellington, and the Coro Combo Loop Walk along the Sturt River. Chris has made significant and ongoing contributions over the past 13 years to South Australian Recreation Trails Inc who have been developing and implementing the Lavendar Federation Trail.

​—ZEPH. 3:12. 1, 2. What figurative storm will soon strike mankind? HAVE you ever had to take refuge from a rainstorm or a hailstorm by seeking cover under a bridge? A bridge might well offer you adequate shelter from a rainstorm or a hailstorm, but it would probably provide little protection from a tornado or a hurricane. 2 A different type of storm is approaching​—one that threatens the very existence of the human race. It is a figurative “day of storm.” This “great day of Jehovah” will affect all mankind. However, we can find the refuge we need. (Read Zephaniah 1:14-18.) How can we do so during “the day of Jehovah’s fury” that is soon to begin? 3. What “thunderous storm” came upon the ten-tribe kingdom of Israel? 3 The day of Jehovah will break out with the destruction of all false religious systems on earth. As to how to find refuge, we can look for the answer in the history of God’s ancient people. Isaiah, who lived in the eighth century B.C.E

., likened Jehovah’s judgment on the apostate ten-tribe kingdom of Israel to a “thunderous storm” that people would not be able to prevent. (Read Isaiah 28:1, 2.) That prophecy found fulfillment in 740 B.C.E. when Assyria invaded the land of those tribes, Ephraim being the most prominent of the ten. 4. How did a “great day of Jehovah” strike Jerusalem in 607 B.C.E.? 4 The judgment against unfaithful Israel was followed in 607 B.C.E. by a “great day of Jehovah” against Jerusalem and the kingdom of Judah. That event occurred because the people of Judah had also turned apostate. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar threatened Judah and its capital, Jerusalem. The Judeans had turned for help to “the refuge of a lie,” that is, to their political alliance with Egypt. Nevertheless, like a destructive hailstorm, the Babylonians swept away that “refuge.”​—Isa. 28:14, 17. 5. How will God’s people as a group fare during the destruction of all false

team in baseball that will still have to win three near-coin-flip series to lift the hardware. You watch teams like the Astros trying to emulate this plan to get to the top, and meanwhile, you observe the Nationals following through on it with the addition of Rafael Soriano to an already loaded bullpen. It’s a move of luxury, not necessity, the final component of what is arguably baseball’s best team. Yet there is a step missing in that narrative when it comes to Mike Rizzo’s meticulous construction of the Nationals. Yes, they drafted well, from the gimme no. 1 overall picks in Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg to the other stars in the Zimmerman(n) brothers to the outstanding middle infield combination of Danny Espinosa and Ian Desmond, both third-round picks. And they have gone beyond their usual Expo ways in acquiring Jayson Werth and Soriano in the last three seasons and giving a contract to free agent Adam LaRoche when they could have cut costs and settled for in-house option Mike Morse. But in the middle of those two stories is a 2013 Nationals roster that was built largely through trades that have benefited the club greatly. It’s not

But in the middle of those two stories is a 2013 Nationals roster that was built largely through trades that have benefited the club greatly. It’s not
a story of perfection. When Werth was acquired in 2011, the Nationals went with the pretty awful outfield of Laynce Nix, Rick Ankiel, and Werth, trading away Josh Willingham and Nyjer Morgan in loser deals while watching them both go on to have very strong years. And you could argue that Joel Hanrahan would have prevented Wednesday’s splurge, but Morgan and Sean Burnett was not a bad package. The helpful deals, more numerous, are an inescapable part of the story of the 2013 Nationals, who had the best record in baseball last year and probably got better this winter. July 31, 2009: Received Ryan Mattheus and Robinson Fabian from Colorado for Joe Beimel Quick: The Nationals relievers with sub-3.00 ERAs in both 2011 and 2012. Drew Storen and… no, not Tyler Clippard. It was Mattheus, who somewhat improbably put together a 2.81 and a 2.85 mark in the last two seasons. Beyond a pretty good groundball rate, his peripherals aren’t all that reassuring, though they’re better when you take out the eight intentional walks and credit him for 26 walks and 53 strikeouts

That’s because the Norris Green test centre sits more than two miles from any railway station, with Rice Lane being the closest. Nevertheless, PassMeFast candidates needn’t worry. Our instructors offer home and workplace pickups to all Merseyside driving test centres—so you can focus on driving! The A580 and A5058 roads close to Norris Green may prove some of the busier areas for candidates taking their test here. There’s also a tricky set of adjacent roundabouts very close to the test centre which will require your attention. You will, therefore, need to brush up on your knowledge before your test. Why not check out our guide to the different types of pedestrian crossing, for example? SOUTHPORT FACT FILE Address Eastbank House Eastbank Street For our next test centre, we’re heading out of the city and towards the picturesque coastal town of Southport.

Best known for its flower show and beaches, the Southport test centre also boasts one of the highest pass rates of all the Merseyside driving test centres. Not too shabby! This test centre lies in the middle of the town of Southport, close to the town’s railway station. It also
sits close to some of the more rural areas of the otherwise predominantly urban county of Merseyside. As such, a solid grasp of the differences between city and country driving is crucial here. Starting from the town centre, you’ll head off around Southport as you complete your test. Be aware that you are likely to be using a sat nav on your driving test. In fact, 80% of tests feature sat nav driving, with the other 20% involving candidates following traffic signs. ST HELENS FACT FILE Address 1 Navigation Road Off Pocket Nook Street WA9 1NS The easternmost of the seven Merseyside driving test centres can be found in St Helens. You can walk to the test centre in less than ten minutes from the nearby St Helens Central train station. As a result, it’s easy to reach from both the Knowsley and Wigan areas, as well as serving the St Helens area. The St Helens test centre holds an interesting distinction—though perhaps one that you may not expect. That’s because in 2016/17, it had a pass rate of 47.1%, exactly the same as the national average. As such, it sits at neither extreme but
