At the moment, Utica College athletics does not have a clearly-defined rival. Differing schedules among the sports at UC range from water polo, who sometimes play teams in Division I, all the way to the football team, which tends to play the same three-to-four teams a season.
Across the spectrum of the composite schedule, games are rare to be similar across numerous sports. There isn't a set game on the calendar that all of athletics will come across in their respective seasons.
Despite this, it cannot mean that the Pioneers do not have a rival or maybe a game that's circled on the schedule. Rivalries stem differently from team-to-team, ranging from levels of competition to tradition.
There is a science to how rivalries work and what makes them special, especially in terms of college sports. At the foundation is Norman Triplett's 1898 study that found that cyclists will race at an increased pace if others were around them.
Over the course of history, it's been proven that rivalries increase performance levels in athletes. In 2003, English soccer players gave samples of saliva before and after games which revealed that rivalry games spike testosterone and energy levels over the course of a 90-minute frame.
So what opponent increases levels of competition over history here at Utica College? Assistant Men's Basketball Coach John Mullane would add proximity to the mix of considerations.
"Proximity can play a role as well 'cross-town rivals,'" Mullane said. "For example, SUNY Poly is always a big game for us although they are not in our conference. It's pretty intense because we have to see those guys around town for the rest of the year. It's almost like bragging rights."
In terms of basketball, the men's team has Rochester-based teams circled on the calendar. With the exception of Alfred University due to the tough trips of away games, St. John Fisher and Nazareth are Mullane's teams to beat each season.
"Historically in the Empire 8, Nazareth and St. John Fisher have been powerhouses so they are always the teams to beat," Mullane said. "Nazareth games hit home as we lost to them two years ago by two points in the championship game."
Mullane notes that rivalry games have a certain urgency to them that most games in a campaign don't usually offer.
To put this in a wider perspective, the Iron Bowl between the Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide delivers moments each season and the attendance numbers reflect it. Attendance at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the heated contest in 2006 peaked at 92,000 while jumping to 101,000 due to stadium expansions in 2010.
However, this may all be a part of the problem at UC. The level of urgency to pack the barn like Alabama or Auburn isn't in existence. Mullane says that this is due to the difference between events and games in sports.
"Football and hockey have a huge following and will attract students solely because it's an 'event,' not just a game," he said. "It's hard for basketball as most of our conference games are over Christmas break."
There are ways to improve upon this and possibly discover a game that everyone has a passion for attending across all sports. Mullane said he thinks there is a start in advertisements and themed games.
"I think we need more themed games white-outs or orange-outs to attract more students that necessarily don't know too much about the team," he said. "Overall, in my opinion, there is a lack of intensity and urgency for fans to attend games because it's more of a casual thing."

The Blacklist: The Complete First Season
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Cast: James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Ryan Eggold
Extras: Commentary Tracks, Featurettes, Rogues' Gallery, Character Dossiers
The overall quality of television shows has definitely improved over the past few years and with that in mind, it is always exciting to see the beginning of a new broadcast season and the new shows it produces. Whether they survive is a different question entirely, but with "The Blacklist" it appears as if NBC has tapped into something people like. I was therefore eager to check out the Blu-Ray set that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has prepared for the show's first season.
The show begins with Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader), one of the FBI's Most Wanted men, surrendering himself to the Bureau. A former government agent himself, Reddington turned into a criminal mastermind, dealing mostly in information and government secrets. No stranger to extortion, manhandling and murder himself, Reddington is not only dangerous but also very calculating, so instantly the question arises, why he would give himself up?
According to him, he wants to cooperate with the FBI in exchange for immunity. Over the many years of his underground dealings he has rigorously mapped out the criminal key players who control the world from behind the scenes. The criminals no one's ever heard of. The overlords of crime, and he has assembled their names in a blacklist. Willing to give up the names and whereabouts of these criminal overlords in exchange for the FBI meeting his demands, Reddington begins to dish out some of the highest profile and most dangerous men in the world one by one. But for some reason, it appears as if he's always one step ahead of anyone else. What is his real agenda?
"The Blacklist" has quickly become a fan favorite and has incredible review ratings, but I have to admit that I do not entirely share that sentiment. Every episode features at least one groan-inducing moment or setup that almost completely ruins the show for me. Illogical and utterly predictable, the show is pretentious in the sense that it creates the illusion of offering plot twists where there really are none. They are merely the effects caused by the fumbling and inept main characters, who fumble through the plot in a completely predictable fashion, as they stumble through paperchases set up by Reddington himself. No one in the show ever stops to question why things turn out so conveniently predictable, no one sees the red herrings even if they stare them right in the face, sticking out like a sore thumb. They are constantly warned off by Reddington, decide to ignore their informant's warnings in favor of sticking to their established and predictable protocols, and even when things go south, they fail to react, seeing the events as circumstantial or coincidental. To top it off, the FBI gives Reddington completely free reign in the show, lets him continue to go about his dirty line of business without as much as keeping an eye on him, reality be damned. To me, "The Blacklist" has all the makings of a bad show, and yet, I kept watching it because I found the premises interesting.
James Spader plays a major part in this appeal. He's always been comfortable with playing the bad guys, but back in the 80s he always played them with some boyish charm that could have you fooled. In "The Blacklist" he is playing a real heavy hitter. Bad to the bone, he is ruthless, disgustingly self-centered and aloof, and most of all extremely calculating. Everything else in the series becomes a sideshow. Characters are forgettable for the most part and that strange mystery going on between Lizzy and her husband does not really have enough momentum or mystery to properly the story forward. It is all about Reddington, and not surprisingly the season's strongest episodes is the mid-season two-parter Anslo Garrick, because for once, Reddington is out of his element, lost control of the machine and has to truly fight for his life, instead of orchestrating all the events and people around him. The episode is a breeze of fresh air in a show that is otherwise following the same template over and again.
Arriving on five Blu-Ray discs, the presentation of the show on this release is meticulous. The transfer is absolutely clean and doesn't exhibit any flaws or blemishes. It offers an incredible level of detail, giving it a truly edgy look that is almost stylized and hyper-realistic at times. Colors are vibrant and rich, without bleeding. The transfer has solid black levels that help render perfect shadows without losing detail while giving the image visual depth at the same time.
The audio on the release is presented as a DTS 5.1 HD Master Audio track that is notably aggressive. With an active surround field that makes good and constant use of the surround channels, the track also has a solid bass extension to drive home the action scenes with more explosive power. Dialogues are well integrated and always understandable, adding further to the balanced experience of the overall presentation.
The release also includes a number of bonus materials, such as commentary tracks on selected episodes, including the pilot and the first Anslo Garrick episode.
Every episode also comes with its dedicated "Beyond the Blacklist" feature, which offers up additional background information.
"The Insider" and "Inception" are both making-of and production featurettes that take a closer look behind the scenes of the show, the characters and the storyline.
A "Rogues' Gallery" is also included, as well as Character Dossiers on the show's key characters.
If you turn off your brain and watch "The Blacklist" purely for the excitement factor, it is an entertaining romp. Just don't question its logic or the behavior of the charcaters in it or the illusion will fall apart very quickly. Despite its seemingly serious appearance, take it for what it is, a television production that aims to entertain, not to comment, challenge or provoke thoughts.

关于"谢谢"的英语作文范文4篇,作文题目:thank you。以下是关于谢谢的专业英语范文,每篇作文均为满分范文带翻译。
高分英语作文1:thank you
Now email and snail mail are in use. I personally prefer to use email. For the following reasons, e-mail is much cheaper than snail mail, which means it can be used for more purposes.
For example, you don't see many jokes forwarded to you, which is obviously much faster than snail mail after email, which means that communication can happen more quickly and writing becomes more conversational So now you don't need to package a month's information into a single letter, because you can exchange only multiple e-mails, which can be sent to multiple groups, and a letter can be copied and sent to multiple people, which rarely leads to the kind of group exchange between e-mail and mailing lists, answering all and other collaborative technical features.
Thank you for your reply. If you can help me with my English, I will be the happiest person. If you don't mind how long you plan to stay in China and what kind of education you have received, can you tell me how you live and where you live now? There are some differences between the western culture and the eastern culture, sometimes some misunderstandings occur, we need to do so in order to better communicate (I translate what you asked into what you asked, but before you send it, you feel that you should not mention your paragraph any more.
Thank you for your letter. He will stay in the field because of some changes in his work. If you need to interview his previous activities, I can arrange our vice president to accept your interview.
He is responsible for this activity. He will introduce our work and prospects in this field. Thank you and keep in touch.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation obtained the SIL4 certification from TÜV SÜD for the upgraded CBTC system version 1.5, following the safety assessment.
Mitsubishi Electric upgraded their CBTC system version 1.0, certified by TÜV SÜD in 2014, by introducing improved design and additional functionality to result in the CBTC system version 1.5. TÜV SÜD has issued two SIL4 certificates for the WZC (Wayside Zone Controller) and OBC (On Board Controller) subsystems.
"TÜV SÜD Rail successfully completed the Independent Safety Assessment and Certification of the upgrade of the Mitsubishi CBTC system. Key success factors were the frequent direct communication with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and the excellent collaboration with our staff on-site at TÜV SÜD Japan," Christian Fischer, Senior Safety Assessor Signalling at TÜV SÜD Rail Germany said.
The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) defines the level of safety required by the international standards EN 50126, EN 50128 and EN 50129. The standards distinguish between four safety integrity levels with SIL4 representing the highest level of safety.
"We are glad that we were able to contribute to this SIL4 certification, which grants access to the global market," Jürgen Apitzsch, Technical Manager at TÜV SÜD Rail Japan, said.
The wireless train control systems known as Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) are beginning to conquer the Japanese market as next generation signalling systems. CBTCs consist of a trackside subsystem, Wayside Zone Controller (WZC) and an onboard subsystem – On Board Controller (OBC). Both units communicate via radio to control the train run and ensure the safe separation of trains in the "moving-block" distance. This allows trains to run at shorter intervals and thus increases track capacity. CBTC railway signalling systems must fulfil a high level of safety and reliability, for which TÜV SÜD grants SIL4 certification and also provides associated rail-related services including safety assessment, certification and training services.

Classic and Contemporary Poetry
LINES ON LEAVING THE BEDFORD STR. SCHOOL HOUSE, by GEORGE SANTAYANA Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Forth from the seed by its first founders sown Last Line: But let them seek some other road to fame. Subject(s): Schools; Students | ||||||||
Forth from the seed by its first founders sown, With rolling years, our good old School has grown; And, for the brighter future that now nears, Its fifth and noblest home the City rears. We hasten thither, with high hopes elate, And leave the older schoolhouse to its fate. No more shall those familiar sights and sounds, There oft repeated, cheer its lonely bounds; No classic name shall henceforth greet its ear, No Greek or Latin on the board appear; No sudden thunder the old stairs shall shake, And with a palsied tremor make them quake; Month after month will pass, and yet no more Shall be heard tales so often told before Of Spartacus, Bozzaris, and the rest, Or Toussaint l'Ouverture, of all the best. The hum of voices during the recess; The romping that the teacher would repress; The merry groups that round the windows gather Of all the day's events to talk together; The cheated silence, when the opening door Lets in one of the boys -- and nothing more; All these will disappear, and in their place, Business this classic site will soon disgrace. Yes, now we leave thee, -- leave thee all alone To ponder glories which thy youth has known; But, when deserted or profaned, think not That by thy old friends now thou art forgot, For long and fondly will our memory trace Thy old gray walls, and each familiar face We saw within; and each year that goes by In softer colors and more pleasing dye Shall picture on the canvas of the mind Those scenes of boyhood we now leave behind. End now thy days, recalling, to the last, The useful life whose usefulness is past. Mayst thou have pleasant dreams! -- I cannot say What other memories through thy mind may stray, But, if 'tis true a mother loves him best Whom last she bore and nourished at her breast, Perhaps thou, too, will look with most delight Upon those things which last have met thy sight, -- Upon those we have seen, and upon us, Thy youngest children; and, if it be thus, Then these and such as these will be the themes That weirdly shall people all thy dreams. As an old woman sits beside the hearth, While from without the tempest's mighty wrath, Howling and whistling, shakes the crazy wall; She sees the tongues of flame now rise, now fall, And now leap forth again, with lurid light; She shudders, half from fear, half from delight; Thinks of her sons, -- some on the stormy deep, Some in their graves already laid to sleep, Others still struggling in the world's great fight, -- All of them gone, and none with her that night. And now the Muse, meaning no disrespect, Will one by one the teachers all inspect. First, let the lordly Moses be her theme, Of kindly heart, though, frowning, fierce he seem; Though not so mighty as would suit his mood, What power he gets he makes use of for good. Next, Farmer Cudjo, far behind the age, Musician, linguist, moralist, and sage; Who talks of everything but what he ought, And knows so much that he can teach us nought; Bound to display the treasures of his mind, 'T is hard a moment for the French to find; So set on showing off his store of knowledge, That there's a doubt if we get into College. And next, O contrast happy and complete, He whose great name I need not here repeat, For nothing that my verse of him might say Would to that name a worthy tribute pay. After him, Chadwick, who when he gets mad, Shouts that our Latin is most "shocking bad," And then proceeds, in the most reckless manner, To violate the rules of English grammar, And now curtails study and Bible reading, Neither our rights nor pious wishes heeding. The name of Stuffy I cannot pass by, Good, jovial soul, who never can be dry, But often cross; and whose uncertain mood I think must be dependent on his food; One day he's arbitrary, cutting, set, The next the jolliest man you ever met. And last and least is Pierce, just now let out From College, with fresh knowledge armed throughout. Who, when he's asked the lesson to explain, Says with a smile that it's all very plain. And not the teachers only shall I name: Some pupils too a passing mention claim. Up in the Hall is the small rounded stage On which declaimers of a tender age Have always spoken pieces learned by heart From the great masters of forensic art. Around this spot full many shades are seen That in the flesh appeared upon the scene: There Cameron stands, who as the Maniac cried, "I am not mad," as Polish Boy then died; And Underwood we there can also see Speaking again the Burial of Dundee, Or Minnehaha's Death, or Clarence' Dream; And Sprague, engaged on a less tragic theme; And Hayes the elder, who could not afford To unbend himself when he had on a sword; And Jack is there, whose clear, sonorous voice, With magic power, made those walls rejoice, And bid them ring again at every pause With kindred echoes -- their unasked applause; And there is Fenn, he who in Phillips' guise, Spoke negroes' praise, and carried off the prize; And that pet Darling, whom I needs must spare, For he has always had more than his share; And many more, whom here I shall not name, But let them seek some other road to fame. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.

I picked a chess game from my friends list to review. I share my thoughts on the game which was between a player with a rating of 1887 and the other with a rating of 1903. Move order matters! With the endgame being over before it began, the main focus was drawn towards the opening and middlegame in this specific brief battle. Are you a fan of the Smith-Morra Gambit?
Feel free to add me as a friend:

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Indigenous want England to return the 'crown'; Post office reopens for deliveries; Covid stats; Feria Libre reopens; Man sentenced for bribery
Jueves, 25/6/2020
Hola, Todos –
Actividades –
De la pagina cultural –
Taller – The Cinco Sentidos Arte academy will hold a design workshop for children and teens starting 6/7 on Zoom. Go to the academy's Facebook page or call 099 680 5102 to register. Cost: $35.00.
"Corona Kañari" – Indigenous peoples and organizations are demanding the return of the Kañari Crown which is in the Royal Collection Trust Museum in England. The crown was taken out of Sígsig in 1854 and given to Queen Victoria in 1962 (sic. I think they meant 1862.) by Pres. Gabriel Carcía Moreno for England's protection of Ecuador. <From what or whom? I don't know enough Ecuadorian history to say what the country needed protection from.>
Otras cosas –
Titular – Dos ferias libres quieren despegar (Two free fairs want to take off) – The feria libre at El Arenal, one of the largest in the country <Our trivia pursuit item for the day.>, reopened este miércoles with half the usual number of merchants and under strict biosecurity measures. Even at half, it is reviving the sector around which are stores of all types. Two merchants who came from Otavalo and Riobamba were interviewed and said that this is the first feria libre to open. One also sold at ferias in Ambato and Quito. The other side of the coin are the feria libres for used cars in Nulti. Even with with the biosecurity measures, there are few customers. The Vehiculos 12 de Abril is operating with only 30% of its dealers and is open lunes a sábado from 7-17:00. The "Feria de autos ciudad de Cuenca" is only seeing about 15% of normal traffic and is open from lunes a sábado from 8-17:00.
1 COVID death every 2 days – In the first month in yellow, the number of cases has almost doubled in Cuenca with 652 new cases in the last month. An official called citizens' behavior as "exceso de confianza" (overconfidence – your word for the day). Police have fined people for not wearing masks and drinking in public spaces <although that's not a new problem>, broken up parties and team sports, and nightlife centers.
During the last month, cases have gone from 679 to 1331, and the average of critically ill patients in ICU beds from 22 to 41 with all ICU beds are occupied on some days. Deaths in hospitals increased from 33 to 48 cases with 19% of them of people betweeen 50 & 64 years old an 11% between 20-49. According to tests done by the city, 3% of Cuencanos have had the disease leaving 97% or about 620,000 still at risk.
Latest virus stats – On Thursday Ecuador said it has recorded 53,156 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 4,343 deaths. Azuay Province has 1,551 confirmed cases, 1,247 in Cuenca.
Día del paramédico – Wednesday was Paramedics Day, and paramedics celebrated by saving lives. Many of them have isolated themselves from their families since the start of the pandemic so as not to infect their loved ones. <This is definitely work you don't want to bring home with you.>
Intrafamilial violence – Since the start of the health emergency, ECU 911 registered 985 cases of intrafamilial violence in Azuay and Cañar with 799 in Azuay and 729 in Cuenca. Of those 729 calls, 492 were intrafamilial violence in general, 145 for physical violence, 91 for psychological violence and 1 for sexual violence.
Intento de soborno – A man was sentenced to 1 year in prison and a fine of 4 basic salaries <which would be $1600 based on this year's SBI> for attempting to bribe an EMOV agent (transit cop) in Cuenca. The legal process started in 2019 when the driver was parked on a sidewalk and tried to bribe the agent to avoid the sanction. This was captured on the bodycam. The infractor used his right to a conditional suspension of the sentence. The Criminal Guarantees Court established some conditions, which if not fulfilled, will result in the infractor completing his sentence at the CRS Turi. <The moral of this story is don't try bribe a traffic cop, at least not one wearing a bodycam – this isn't 1999 any more.>
Correos del Ecuador – The Post Office has reopened with biosecurity measures to deliver packages from outside the country. It is only delivering packages that the user has already paid for. For more information, go to email@example.com. If you want to make a claim for damage or missing items, you need to do it at the time you receive the package. <Maybe my Christmas present from my sister will finally get here after being stuck in Quito for months.>
And that´s all for today so Hasta ? –

Founded in 2010 as Capital Homes LLC, our primary focus for 7 years was residential remodeling and single family new construction. We were always focused on lower volume, higher quality homes, trying to be one step ahead of the competition.
In the spring of 2023 we re-branded as Cutler Construction Company. Our experience includes historic tax credit projects, commercial and multifamily new construction, and restoration of old commercial buildings. We still have a foothold in housing, building 1-3 custom houses per year.
We are a small business, employing 13 people. We have 4 project managers / superintendents that run all of the day-to-day construction operations, and subcontract 90% of the work. Each project manager has 1-2 helpers that take care of odds-and-ends such as cleaning, punch-list, errands, and general management / maintenance. In the office we have 4 people to take care of estimating, RFI's and Submittals, accounting and bill pay, and facilitation of communication between owners, subcontractors, vendors, and our field team.
The majority of our subcontractors have been with us 10+ years, and are lean enough to be competitive with single family residential construction, but sophisticated enough to also do our multifamily, commercial, and mixed use projects.
A West Des Moines native, Peter got his start in building at a young age when he constructed 'build your own tool bench' kits and sold to parents with young kids in his neighborhood. After graduating from Iowa State University with a major in construction engineering, he pursued turning his skills and education into a career. He currently lives in Des Moines with his wife and 2 children, and in his free time enjoys climbing, fishing, biking, and camping.

this suspiciously Nokia Lumia-lookalike phone is China mobile phone maker Xiaomi's latest flagship after the Phone 2. aptly dubbed the Xiaomi Phone 3 (aka MI3), it would be available in either a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor or Snapdragon 800 (the latest variant) processor depending on which network (in China, obviously) you are getting the phone from. design-speak, the phone does look a whole lot more sophisticated than its predecessor and sports a large 5″ Full HD IPS display supplied by Sharp or LG. the latter boasts "ultra sensitive touch" that works even with gloves on and its totally anti-reflective. the Chinese maker has a lot to tout about this handset; and it has to, in order for it to get ahead of the horde of competitions (Lenovo, Meizu and all).
key highlights include a 13MP main shooter sporting Sony's Exmor sensor with 28mm wide-angle lens and dual LED flash, a 2MP front-facing item, 2GB of RAM, Full HD videoing, a choice of 16GB or 32GB storage capacity, dual-band WiFi, NFC, and a 3,050 mAh battery that comes with 2A fast charger. naturally, the handset also features the usual tidbits such as GPS with GLONASS, A-GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, plus the usual serving of sensors including gyros, accelerometer, light and proximity sensor, e-compass, as well as barometer. being a smartphone destined for the China market, it is therefore only equipped with 3G radio, but it does however, have support for DC-HSPA+ for 42Mbps download.
the Xiaomi Phone 3 Smartphone is set to be available through China Mobile and China Unicom soon for 1,999 RMB (about US$327) and 2,499 RMB (roughly US$408) for the 16GB and 32GB model, respectively. take a few more rendered look below, or hit the source link for some live pics.

SpaceX Dragon capsule made it to the ISS without a hitch
Last summer catastrophe hit SpaceX when its Dragon capsule exploded during an attempted resupply mission to the ISS. SpaceX was returned to flight status after the disaster and its latest resupply mission to the ISS has been completed without any issues. This resupply mission had one very cool bit of tech onboard in the form of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module or BEAM.
In addition to BEAM, the capsule also has 3.5 tons of supplies and experiments on board. The capsule will remain attached to Harmony for a month. This mission also marks the first time that the Dragon capsule is docked right next to the US Orbital ATK Cygnus commercial cargo vehicle. Cygnus is attached to the Unity module and has been there since March 26.
Expedition 47 Flight Engineer Tim Peake from the ESA used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture the Dragon capsule and attach it to its docking port. Certainly, the most interesting experiment on the capsule is the BEAM device. BEAM is essentially an inflatable room designed to give more space on the ISS at a lower cost than traditional modules.
Astronauts will spend a few hours at time inside BEAM for a few times each year over the next two years in an effort to see how the habitat holds up to living in space. The single BEAM room adds 565 cubic feet of space when inflated and when compressed takes up only 105.9 cubic feet. BEAM might also one day be used as habitats used for living pods on the ground, possibly as places for astronauts to live on Mars. One key bit of information that Bigelow researchers are looking for is how well the module survives radiation and if it can survive impacts from space debris. SpaceX also had another rousing success earlier this month when it landed its rocket on the drone ship in the ocean for the first time.

Web site: gnuboy.unix-fu.org
Category: Emulators
Platform: Linux, BSD, BeOS, IRIX, SunOS, AIX, DOS, Windows
License: GNU GPL
Interface: GUI
First release: February 1, 2001
Gnuboy – an emulator with interface for X11, fbcon, svgalib and SDL. Some roms are not compatible with it, but most of them work fine.
One of the fastest if not the fastest GB/GBC emu-lator available.
gnuboy was written well over 20 years ago and achieved full speed on most machines of that era, on today's machines it runs close to 0% CPU usage.
gnuboy development was mostly stagnant for the past 20 years, but I (Laguna, the present developer) revived it using the last released sources and CVS dumps and fixed numerous minor issues with modern compilers and systems, as well as the occasional bugfix, plus a new SDL2 backend.
Unlike most modern GB emulators, gnuboy doesn't strive to be cycle-accurate (except where necessary), but to be fast, portable and compatible and to provide a good gaming experience.
gnuboy emulates nearly all aspects of the (Color) Gameboy, including all of the following and much more:
– Full GBZ80 instruction set.
– Scanline-based LCD engine.
– Ten sprites per scanline limit.
– Support for all CGB graphics extensions.
– Sprite DMA, HDMA, and GDMA.
– All four sound channels including digital samples.
– MBC1, MBC2, MBC3 (including clock), and MBC5 mappers.
– Wave pattern memory corruption when sound channel 3 is played.
– Pad, timer, divide counter, and other basic hardware registers.
– CGB double-speed CPU mode.
In addition to basic emulation, gnuboy provides the following features:
– Highly flexible keybinding and configuration subsystem.
– State saving and loading at any point.
– Very precise timing/synchronization, preserved across save/load.
– Joystick support on Linux, DOS, and all SDL-based ports.
– Fully customizable palettes for DMG games.
– Screen scaling by a factor of 2, 3, or 4 in all ports.
– Hardware-based screen scaling on platforms where it's available.
– Debug traces to stdout.
– Dynamic palette allocation when run in 256-color modes.
– OR simulated 3/3/2 bits per channel in 256-color modes.
gnuboy supports a wide range of host systems, and has been tested successfully on: GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BeOS, Linux/390 (IBM S/390 Mainframe), SunOS/Sun Ultra60, IRIX/SGI O2, IRIX/SGI Indy, AIX/Unknown, DR-DOS, MS-DOS, Windows DOS box, Windows 9x/NT/2k.

Zomato announced on Monday that it will soon begin with 10-minute food delivery – a feature that many on social media labeled "unnecessary" and potentially dangerous for the company's delivery partners. Deepinder Goyal, Founder and CEO of Zomato, announced the service on Twitter, saying that it would start in Gurugram next month. Acknowledging the backlash that followed when Zomato-backed Blinkit (then called Grofers) announced a similar 10-minute delivery initiative last year, Zomato's statement began with the promise that it would not put pressure on delivery partners to deliver food quicker.
"We do not put any pressure on delivery partners to deliver food faster. Nor do we penalise delivery partners for late deliveries. The delivery partners are not informed of the promised time of delivery," Mr Goyal's statement read.
Despite this promise on Zomato's behalf, the 10-minute instant delivery move was mercilessly trolled on social media. On Twitter, where #Zomato has been trending since the announcement last evening, many people criticised the Zomato Instant food delivery service by using memes.

Along with the safety of delivery partners being compromised, people also worried about the quality of food that would be delivered in 10 minutes.

Zomato said the quick delivery would rely on a dense network of "finishing counters" which will be located in high-demand customer neighbourhoods, and that time optimisation would not happen on the road or put lives at risk. These finishing counters will each house best-selling items — about 20 to 30 dishes — from various restaurants based on demand predictability and hyperlocal preferences.
Cyber security expert Jiten Jain was among the several people who worried that Zomato's 10 minute delivery promise would make the job of delivery partners tougher.
. @deepigoyal: 10 mins sounds amazing as a customer. But honestly this would surely make your delivery staff tense and reckless..
Am sure, 30 mins is worth waiting for delicious food arriving at our doorsteps ????⏩???? https://t.co/8EfKKHNkPt

Ajay Awtaney, founder and editor of Live From a Lounge, also worried about the 'catches' that instant delivery would entail.
Somewhere in the T&C will be catches, lots of them! And no guarantee of sending you hot food, or even cooked food. And 10
Mins will be to the gate, not to the door. And then it will become 10-15 mins, and then they will become peak pricing and what not. https://t.co/rbHZ4ciXUx— Ajay Awtaney (@LiveFromALounge) March 22, 2022
Explaining why his company decided to step into the instant delivery market, Mr Goyal said: "I started feeling that the 30-minute average delivery time by Zomato is too slow, and will soon have to become obsolete.
"If we don't make it obsolete, someone else will," Mr Goyal said, adding that "innovating and leading from the front" is the only way to survive in the tech industry.

Sleep is a pillar of our overall health and well-being, and if you're not getting enough of it (or it's not quality sleep), you're going to feel the effects. So, we asked a handful of health experts for their top sleep tips, and it turns out, there's one behavior they all unanimously agreed is essential for high-quality rest. And it's not cutting caffeine or limiting electronics at night.
The best way to improve sleep, from experts.
When we asked health experts for their best sleep recommendations, there was one piece of advice that stood out among the rest: Have a consistent sleep schedule (aka go to bed and wake up at the same time every day).
As Laura Erlich, fertility and obstetric specialist and founder of Mother Nurture Wellness tells mbg, "My No. 1 tip for improving your sleep quality is to maintain an intentional routine that allows you to wind down, sleep a full night, and wake rested. Do your best to wake up at the same time every morning, and get some early morning sun on your face whenever possible."
Board-certified sleep specialist Michael Breus, Ph.D., says even on the weekends, you still want to try to get up at the same time, with physician Eva Selhub, M.D., previously telling mbg to only vary your schedule by an hour tops once in a while.
"A good night's sleep starts with the day. A consistent wake-up time sets your clock without needing anything at all," Ellen Wermter, sleep expert and spokesperson for the Better Sleep Council tells mbg. And as registered nurse and Noom coach Christina Graham, R.N., adds, "Our internal clock craves consistency, so sticking to the same schedule, even on the weekends, is key for supporting consistent sleep."
If you could use a little help establishing a regular sleep-wake schedule, this guide walks you through how to do it painlessly.
Other sleep tips to keep in mind.
Along with having a consistent sleep schedule, there are a few other things to keep in mind for getting quality sleep, like avoiding screens and light at night, sleeping in a cool room, and limiting alcohol, caffeine, and big meals too close to bedtime.
Still needing some extra help with your sleep? You might want to try a sleep supplement, such as mbg's sleep support+, a pioneering formula that's both nonhormonal and non-habit-forming and isn't associated with the side effects of other popular sleep aids.
The unique blend combines magnesium bisglycinate, jujube, and PharmaGABA®—three potent ingredients shown in research to help people fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up energized.* When combined with other healthy sleep habits like going to bed and waking up at the same time, reviewers find it very effective for delivering sleep they never knew they could get.*
Experts agree that going to bed and waking up at different times every day can majorly throw off steady sleep. But with more consistency in your routine, and a few other helpful sleep hacks, you're sure to be snoozing soundly in no time.

So after an almost 3 month absence of posting to the blog I'm finally back. Needless to say the new day job has taken up more of my time than I'd planned and not turned out like Id hoped it would. Long story short what should have been a small creative shop has quickly bloated to a "agency" model with little room for quality or accountability.
That aside I've been hard at work on The Old Ones. I've got the entire story plotted and am working on the second draft script at the moment. With some help from my Space-Gun Studio mate Jake Ekiss the 3rd or 4th draft should put me in a good spot to start art duties on the book.
And speaking of, I've got a Kickstarter project going to try and raise money for the project. Please share the link, and donate if you can!
There are a few more small things in the works that I'll announce later on. For the moment I'll leave you with a random stream of consciousness brush pen sketch done over my break last week.
See ya soon.

Joseph Pedott, whose decades of commercials for the zany plantlike figurines known as Chia Pets launched them into the pantheon of American consumer culture, died on June 22 in San Francisco. He was 91.
The cause was cardiac arrest, said Sherry Ettleson, a family friend.
The origins of the Chia Pet's popularity can be traced to March 1977, when Mr. Pedott (pronounced PEE-dot), an independent advertising executive, wandered around a Chicago home and housewares trade expo looking for new clients. He asked the head of sales at the Thrifty drugstore chain about his best-selling product.
"He said, 'There's this stupid item called the Chia Pet. I don't know why anybody buys it,'" Mr. Pedott later recalled.
The sales executive faxed Mr. Pedott a picture of the stupid item in question. It was a terra cotta figurine manufactured in Oaxaca, Mexico, sold along with a chia seed spread. When watered for a week or two, the seeds sprouted hairlike grass.
However odd the Chia Pet might have seemed, Mr. Pedott, unlike the sales executive, did not judge consumers for liking it. He decided that Chia Pets were missing only one thing: good advertising.
He bought the rights from their importer, a man named Walter Houston; secured a better deal from the manufacturers in Mexico; and, by the early 1980s, had begun widely marketing his new product with a jingle that consisted of a breathy female voice exclaiming "ch-ch-ch-Chia."
The campaign worked. In 2018, Mr. Pedott's company, Joseph Enterprises, announced that Americans had bought about 25 million Chia Pets. Tens of millions more people who never owned a Chia Pet still gained a vivid sense of what they were — though not as objects in real life so much as figments of the half-real world of television.
The ads labeled Chia Pets "the pottery that grows." Was that fantastical promotion for a gag gift or for home décor? The Chia Pet, somehow, became both, much like another infomercial bauble: Big Mouth Billy Bass, the wall hanging that is also a talking fish.
Chia Pet's competitors over the years have included other inanimate objects marketed as pets — most notably Pet Rock, a ventilated box containing a rock on a bed of straw, and Tamagotchi, the hand-held digital pet. The first was a fad of the 1970s, the second a fad of the 1990s.
Maybe thanks to its pseudobotanical organicness, the Chia Pet retained a firmer hold on popular affection, as evinced by the surprisingly wide range of human activities for which it has become a metaphor.
The New York Times critic Roberta Smith described Jeff Koons's 1992 sculpture "Puppy" as "a shaggy dog made entirely of flowers, and the biggest Chia Pet ever." The Chia Pet became likened to a hairstyle, with the term being used to describe the coiffures of the 1990s New York Knicks power forward Charles Oakley, the renegade former House Democrat James A. Traficant Jr. of Ohio, Ben Affleck in "Argo" (2012) and Bradley Cooper in "American Hustle" (2013). The uncontrollable growth of Chia Pet hair inspired the Times columnist Maureen Dowd to write in 1998, the year President Bill Clinton was impeached, about "wacky independent counsels who grow like Chia Pets."
Rock bands called themselves Chia Pet, and, more surprisingly, novelists used it as a name for their characters.
As a barometer of fame, getting a Chia Pet modeled after you has become a distinction far rarer than getting your own bobblehead. Those so honored include Willie Nelson, Bob Ross, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. It is an equally exclusive club for fictional characters, including Scooby Doo, Chewbacca, Bugs Bunny and Bart Simpson.
In a sign of ultimate triumph, Chia Pets grew more recognizable than chia seeds themselves. "First there were Chia Pets," The New York Times wrote in 2012. "Now, chia is having a second life as a nutritional 'it' item."
Mr. Pedott scored another notable success with the Clapper, which he began marketing in the mid-1980s. It enables household items to be turned on or off through clapping, predicting our current age of controlling your front door, refrigerator and thermostat with a cellphone.
Though the Clapper did not become a pop-culture phenomenon like the Chia Pet — or sell nearly as well — it did inspire the slogan "Clap on, clap off," which joined the Chia Pet jingle as an unforgettable bit of late-20th-century televised ballyhoo.
In 2019, Ad Age asked Mr. Pedott for the secret to a memorable ad.
"We just stayed with it," he said. "'Ch-ch-ch-Chia.' Repetition works."
Joseph Pedott was born on April 14, 1932, in Chicago to Meyer Pedott, a doctor in the Army and the Veterans Administration, and Jean (Segal) Pedott, a homemaker. Joe's mother died of a cerebral hemorrhage when he was 13. He and his father often fought, which led Joe to run away from home when he was 16 and move into a Y.M.C.A.
A Chicago nonprofit called Scholarship and Guidance helped with his living expenses, and he paid his own way through college at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign by working as a switchboard operator and selling women's shoes.
"You couldn't get any poorer than me," he told the university in a 2018 interview. "In those days, there weren't scholarships or loans. My tuition was $64 a semester. I was getting paid 65 cents per hour."
He and a classmate wrote and produced commercials for local companies in Chicago, and they opened their own ad agency after Mr. Pedott graduated with a degree in journalism in 1955. That partnership soon fell apart, and Mr. Pedott moved to San Francisco. He lived there for the rest of his life.
When, as an older man, he established a nonprofit with assets worth more than $9 million, he donated money to SGA Youth & Family Services, the new name of the Chicago nonprofit that had helped him when he was young, as well as to Jewish causes, particularly the Hillel student groups. He sold Joseph Enterprises in 2018 to National Entertainment Collectibles Association, a company known for licensing consumer goods.
Mr. Pedott never married. He is survived by his longtime partner, Carol Katz. He died in a hospital.
The Chia Pet has occasionally been described as an artifact of a now-chintzy cultural yesteryear. Writers for The Times have referred to "embarrassment that may overwhelm someone who stumbles across a Chia Pet in the attic" and have imagined the recent past of middle-class life as a time when "everyone was just zoning out in their beanbag chairs, watching 'Love Boat' and drinking Tang as their Chia pets grew."
Yet the current corporate owners of Chia Pets describe the product as unexpectedly au courant, even prophetic. They manufacture Chia Pets representing the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees. To learn who was going to win the 2012 and 2016 races, you could have simply studied Chia Pet sales.

Death Penalty in the State of Colorado Essay
This paper aims to discuss the implementation of death penalty in the state of Colorado, United States. It should be noted that death sentence in the state of Colorado is legal. However, it is authorized for certain offences only. The criminal offences that are authorized with death penalty include first-degree murder with at least 1 of 17 aggravating factors, treason and first-degree kidnapping (Palmer, 2013).
As per the statute of US, the execution of death penalty in Colorado is undertaken by lethal injection of chosen drugs into the criminal's body for immediate death. This is the only way of undertaking death penalty in Colorado. Earlier, there were a number of ways in which the death sentence was being undertaken that included gas chamber etc (Palmer, 2013).
The debate of death penalty is Colorado is not proposing the demolishment but rather consider it as an effective strategy against criminal offences. However, the implementation requires a lot of investigation before the overall decision. Recently, the case of Nathan Dunlap has gained much attention by the media as the legislation has been questioned for its effective decision-making in finding necessary evidence (Palmer, 2013).
In order to make sure that all acute criminal offences are being addressed with proper implementation of death penalty, seventeenth aggravating factors were listed. These included the murderer to be heinous, murderer's purpose to gain pecuniary benefits, the victim was kept as a hostage, the victim was personnel of governmental institution, the defendant committed treason against the national interest etc. (Palmer, 2013).

Newbalance is the only sportswear brand still manufacturing trainers in the UK. When the floods hit in Cumbria the highly engaged workforce pulled together to keep the factory open and support the local area, as their HR Director, Paul Kennedy explains.
Manufacturing in the United Kingdom is a tough business and the challenge to remain competitive in a global economy has never been so great. For one UK manufacturer the events of 19 and 20 November in Cumbria presented unprecedented challenges.
Newbalance have been manufacturing shoes for over 26 years in Flimby in the coastal region of Cumbria. Employing up to 250 people at any one time, it is one of the county's largest employers.
The day started as any other day would. Early in the morning at 7am everyone turned up for work as normal. The factory had recently adopted a four day shift pattern to work a full week in four days with a three day weekend. The move was popular and has been part of ongoing engagement and improvement activity over the last three years which has seen production increased to more than a million pairs of shoes a year and growing fast.
As the day progressed, so the rain fell heavier and weather warnings started to be broadcast around the region. A number of phone calls were received towards the latter part of the shift from worried family members and the situation outside was detiorating fast with long traffic jams and torrential rain.
The factory closed a little earlier than normal. The factory manager Andy Okolowicz received a call from his worried wife who worked in a shop on the mian street in Cockermouth. She could see excessive amounts of water flowing down the road and Andy rushed home to help.
He arrived just as the water level was getting above the doorframe and he frantically piled sandbags and wooden boards on the front of the shop. Wading into what was now knee deep water he was surprised to see a small speedboat come down the high street and a man call out asking if he needed help and telling him to get out of the water, which was getting faster and deeper by the minute.
Andy and his wife escaped through the back of the shop and got back to their home having done all they could so save the shop and its stock. Their home was on high ground so relatively safe.
The events of the next few hours though would change the lives of thousands of people. Drama was unfolding in Cockermouth and TV pictures showed people being rescued from rooftops and pulled out of houses. A few miles away the coastal town of Workington was also hit hard.
Excessive flooding and torrential rain brought havoc and destruction to all in its way. Sadly a brave police officer lost his life performing the duties he had trained to do for many years when one of the local bridges collapsed.
It continued throughout the next couple of days with sights of wrecked belongings and houses on TV stations and newspapers everywhere. The town of Flimby is the third point of a triangle where Cockermouth and Workington are the other two and in the space of 24 hours the unimaginable happened: transport links by road with Flimby from Workington and Cockermouth were effectively reduced to one way in and one way out.
It became apparent that if nothing was done, effectively half the factory workforce would face the potential of a two hour, one-way trip to work on Monday morning. Quick thinking by Andy and the local leadership team over the weekend helped ease the pressure enormously. The local radio station was contacted to broadcast updates for Newbalance employees about what trains were available to get from Workington to Flimby. More importantly, Flimby station is a 15 minute country walk to the factory, so Andy and the team laid on a coach to pick up and drop off at both beginning and end of shifts.
The broadcast was relayed all over the region and other employers followed suit. Not content with those efforts Andy spent Saturday scouring the temporary shelters so see what help he could give and how Newbalance could provide footwear and clothing for people who had nothing but the clothes they stood in.
As Monday morning approached apprehension filled the air. A lost day's production costs a lot of money and severely hampers the factory in its efforts to be competitive. The team at Newbalance, however, were not about to be beaten.
Despite the terrible circumstances and tragic situation on the Workington bridge with many friends and families being affected, the community worked togethe. Word had got around about the arrangements in place for the employees and on the Monday morning every single employee who should have been in work arrived to get the coach on time and turned up ready for work. Newbalance stated that train fares would be reimbursed to individuals for the first week of disruption.
In a testament that shone loud and clear the team indicated through their actions they would not give up. The pride and passion they take in their work and the improvements they had made were not going to be thrown away. On the first day back, production levels actually improved.
Indeed that's been the case ever since, not a day missed with sickness, 100% attendance and a totally committed workforce still producing high quality shoes. Employees are likely to have to continue to take the train and coach to work for a considerable period of time as bridge repairs are likely to take some time.
Seven days after the terrible events, Newbalance announced a donation of £25,000 to the flood fund. The senior management group of Newbalance Europe have personally pledged £5,000 to the fund. On hearing the news every single employee in the factory stated they did not want to be reimbursed for train fares but rather preferred the money to go into the flood fund directly and now the Newbalance employees are planning fundraising events to support the fund.
The team had shown, and continue to show what's great about Britain… the British worker.
Paul Kennedy is proud to be HR Director at technical sportwear and specialist running brand Newbalance.
