Triestina 6-1 Genoa
Genoa are usually a toughie with a good squad and especially great midfield. Not the greatest set of full-backs though and my wingers exploited that and a really good start by my team saw me take an early 3-0 lead. Then they pulled one back but then got someone sent off for kicking one of my players, so the whole thing became a bit of a train wreck for Genoa, their goalkeeper keeping the scoreline down. Finished 6-1, could have been double digits for me.

Got sacked because of the defeat; 2 4 6 start to to the season. Just couldn't score goals, difference 6-13, couple of the last thanks to "dubious penalties". Irritating when my team got in 52 league and cup games a total of just 2 penalties...
Just raped off man city at home (newcastle) - tevez got four, robinho 2. My dismal record against them goes on. ALL SIX of their goals were 20 yard+, feel like punching a hole in the wall.

Triestina 6-0 Ocean Boys (Club World Championship)
Chucked my kids out plus a couple of oldies looking to get fitness. Poor first half only scoring twice; switched my central midfielder to the left and put on a proper defensive midfielder and never looked back. A surprisingly good youngster got on the scoresheet twice - second-top scorer in my Under-20s despite a lesser number of stars, and he was outstanding.
Barelona 1 - 3 Liverpool
On Extra time in the Champions League Final, (I am playing liverpool, 2013) Ngog scores the winner
Cagliari 5 - 1 Juventus
I literally was in complete shock. I'm currently 1st in Serie A after 25 games and continuously described as 'Serie A's surprise package. Took over when Cagliari were in SerieB, mid-table - season and a half later and I'm top of Serie A. Lots of scraping wins with my defensive counter-attacking, but seems to be doing the business.
I went away for the second half so it came as a bit of shock to me the scoreline.
Man Utd 3 - 0 Charlton
Hatrick from Welbeck
Everton 1-1 Shaktar Donetsk (7-1 agg) - Europa League
Djalo for me. I won 6-0 away so this game was a formality with my reserves. What a signing Djalois though! £600k at the start of the game and he has 30 goals for me this season!

US Créteil-Lusitanos - Amiens 3-4(1-2).
Was cruising to an easy victory with 4-1 lead when my skipper walked with a straight red card on the 78th minute and things got tricky afterwards.
Arsenal 5-0 Newcastle.
Awezum match
Amiens - FC Paris 0-0.
Two frustrating games after 10 consecutive games without defeat, first 0-2 away defeat to Cannes and now this. Together 32 shots on goal, 14 of them blocked, just 7 saves for opposing keepers, four penalty shouts turned down (in 20 competitive games with Amiens this season I haven't got a single penalty...).
And to add insult to injury, the news item after FC Paris match called my team "impotent". Thanks a bunch.

Aston Villa 0 - 1 Man Utd
None other than Welbeck
Amiens - Evian Thonon Gaillard FC 0-0.
Frustrating game, won shots 19-3, shots on target 6-1 (but 7 blocked). One penalty shout turned down, three players injured by the opposing
team's players, including my top scorer and top assist. In the previous game against Moulins the score was the same and won shots 13-2.
Blyth Spartans 2 Forest Green 1
btw i'm Blyth
Amiens - Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne 0-0.
Won shots 18-5, shots on goal 5-1 (they blocked 7, my team 1), hit woodwork twice. Typical game. It seems
it's impossible to score. Have scored in just one of the last six games in the league, four of them ending 0-0.
Sheffield United 5-1 Leicester City
Cresswell (3)
Amiens - Fréjus Saint-Raphaël 0-0.
After beating Stade Plabennecois away 1-0 it was a time to return to normalcy with this result, although now the opponent dominated slightly, winning shots on goal 4-3.
Oh My Gosh
Northwich 0- Eastwood 6Probably the best game I've ever seen on FM. We dominated the whole game. William Grigg scored 4 goals and to top it off 8 of my players were named in the "team of the week".
Croatia 1-2 Portugal
Olic - Cristiano Ronaldo,Fernandes
Sheffield United 2-1 West Brom
Henderson (2)
yet to lose in the league so far drawn 1, won 5.
Newcastle 4 -1 West Brom final day of the EPL season. We needed a win to confirm 4th place, amazing result!! Season 3 with Newcastle... then offered Man Utd job and took it, saved the game, then returned to St James' to attack the ECC in 2013!
2nd season with norwich:
Norwich 3 - 0 Ipswich
a hard fought 5-3 win as PSV in the dutch cup final
Fleetwood 1 Hyde (me) 2, BSN. Second competitive match of LLM rules save. 2 wins so far .
Left KFUM behind when I got offered the Inverness Caley Thistle job. They were languishing in mid table so I've had to start a mini revival. Came up blank against a good St. Johnstone side.
St. Johnstone 0-0 Inverness Caley Thistle
Both teams hit the wood work in the last five minutes.

Fantastic game and result for me.
CAMBRIDGE UNITED 2 - 1 Leeds United
Played against Stade de Reims at home with Amiens. Won goal attempts 13-6, lost shots on goal 1-3, lost game 1-3(0-1). Great day for goalkeeping.
At one point one of my useless strikers had got past Reims' goalkeeper, had an empty goal before him, but a relatively narrow angle, like thirty degrees, yet I was expecting a goal but the bad excuse for a striker turned away from the goal and passed the ball to a team mate in a much worse position... I just love when that happens...
EDIT: And in the next game, facing Aviron Bayonnais - winless in nine games - away, won goal attempts 14-8, shots on goal 6-4, had yet another penalty
claim turned down (in 29 games this season 1 penalty so far) and was lucky to get a 2-2(1-2) draw.
EDIT Part Two: In the game after that, at home to Rodez Aveyron Football I win shots on goal 4-2 and lose 1-2(1-1). 0 saves for the goalkeeper, five players injured, couple of them severely.
EDIT Part Three: Won shots on goal 6-4 but lost away to AS Beauvais Oise 1-2(0-1).

brighouse 6 leeds carnige 0. leeds had 3/4 of their player out either injured or suspended) half of the 11 men were "greys" plus all of the subs were as well. I only had one first team player out due his reckless lunge the match before which got him a straight red plus an ear bashing from me
My last result was a disspointing 1-1 friendly draw with Preston away. I am playing as Chelsea btw. Played a slightly weakened team but still dominated. They scored first and only Deco could get me a goal despite many chances for more than a winner.
Man Utd 3-1 Spurs
Man City vs. Wolves 7-1
Great result, since my team had an average age of 20.7 years. I've already won the league, so I decided to start some youngsters.
2 goals were scored by my 18-year-old right winger.
2 goals were scored by my 18-year-old left winger.
1 goal was scored by my 17-year-old striker.
The other goals were scored by Fàbregas and Adebayor btw.
2-2. Conceded in the first minute, 2-1 up with 6 minutes left, Red Card, PEN, 2-2. Lucky to draw in the end.
Just got this result against Watford in the EPL.
Rochdale 3 - 3 Rotherham United
Rochdale are 1st in the league, I am 2nd.
3 - 0 down after 56 minutes, I decided to make a triple change, bringing on a midfielder, winger and a striker. Within minutes my sub striker gets a goal, quickly followed by my sub winger, and in the last minute of the game, my sub midfielder plays a perfect pass for my striker to draw level.
My best comeback so far on FM!
Aggregate win over Lyon:
Man Utd 3(7) - (3)0 Lyon
Bath City - Clevedon (FA 4th. Qualifying Round) 7-0
My best game so far ... and probably will be for a while. Biggest score line I have ever had. Best ratings I have ever had. And Clevedon is a local rival, so fans are ecstatic
Also used a few guys who haven't played much ... my hattrick hero is my 5th. choice striker (originally winger, but retrained as I don't use wingers), and it was his first competitive match of the season.
I am what you would call fairly happy

Put us 4 points clear at the top ahead of sheff utd who took 2nd after that result
2014, my liverpool smashed man city 6-1. Hattrick by my regen striker. Without the corner exploit.
My last result was the last game of the 2017/18 season with Leeds. The Champions League final in Cardiff... Marseille 2-3 Leeds Utd. Massive result cause it sealed a 3rd straight Champions League title and bagged the 7th and last trophy of the season. Won everything. Community shield, european super cup, world club championship, carling cup, f.a. cup, premiership and champions league. Think it may be my last result for the game also, nice long wait until FM11 lol

Playing Hearthstone during the beta might have granted players more experience as well as more cards to play with. These are both benefits that may be matched by playing more later. However, some games grant beta players exclusive content such as gear or achievements that players get to keep even after the beta. To players that didn't play the beta, this content would then be lost forever. Did playing the Hearthstone beta grant beta players any such content?
Did playing Hearthstone during the beta grant any benefits that can't be matched by playing the game later?
There are a few pieces of exclusive content thusfar in Hearthstone. The first is a golden 'Gelbin Mekkatorque' card, that could be earned by using real money to make a purchase in Hearthstone while it was in the beta.
In addition, golden 'Elite Tauren Chieftain' was only earnable through purchasing a ticket to Blizzcon 2013, and thus also can't be earned any longer.
However, the normal version of each of these cards are still both able to be earned through crafting them.
Card backs will likely be exclusive to each season and event, such as the ones earned through levels in ranked on specific seasons, but thusfar, I haven't seen anything specific about this yet.
The only thing from the beta that can't be acquired anymore is the golden version of Gelbin Mekkatorque (for buying something with real money during the beta). The normal version of this card can still be crafted.
Also there is Elite Tauren Chieftain of which the golden version can't be acquired any more. That was granted by buying a Blizzcon 2013 ticket.

What should I do if I'm stung by a scorpion? Is the venom harmful to humans?
The answer is right there in your link. Some select tidbits to answer your question:
Unless you're an entomologist specializing in scorpions and you are damn sure the scorpion that stung you is not one of those dangerous to humans, you need to get medical attention ASAP. You probably won't have morphine or another opioid analgesic, but you might have a cold compress, so use it. As for vasodilators, you probably won't have any of them handy either, so, as I said, get to a hospital ASAP. And the advice in the snakebite question about lying down and trying to slow your pulse while someone (hopefully the third in your party, leaving one to look after you) runs to get help is a good idea.
Treat it like it is a snake bite. always have a snake bite kit with you when hiking and camping. As well as a basic first aid kit. Also have an Epi-pen handy.

Our Linux Discussion meets every Wednesday from 6 PM to 8 PM in the Turing classroom. [[1]] It is an informal meeting and is wide open to any ideas relating to using the various GNU-and-other-process/Linux-based operating systems. We are not limited to but do enthusiastically encourage:
- installations
- hardware investigation
- configuration
- troubleshooting
We started meeting weekly in mid-October, 2009 and have had a group develop who steadily attend. For other regular San Francisco Linux events see sf-lug.org (twice per month), balug.org (monthly) and OLPC-SF (monthly).
Many attendees run Debian derived distributions (including Ubuntu, eeebuntu, teams like the CaliforniaTeam) but we are using others (distrowatch.org) at home or at work such as Fedora derived (including CentOS & RHEL), BSD derived (including Darwin and Mac OSX), openSUSE.
Believe it or not, Linux events also happen outside the city borders. For the adventuresome, two good lists of such far away events are available from wiki.ubuntu.com and linuxmafia.com.

Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational speaks about his work in this 16 minute video from February 2009. He introduces the idea of experimental testing of economic hypotheses, applying it to experienced utility and to cheating behaviour. He contrasts the experimental results on cheating with what is predicted by rational choice analysis and draws implications for ethics in the financial sphere. The video can be watched online, with transcripts in multiple languages, or downloaded in various formats.
Video and Audio Lectures in Experimental Economics
Five hours of lectures from a free online course that ran in 2012, broken up into chunks of about ten minutes. The video format combines a live-annotated slide presentation with a small window showing the speaker.
This is a five minute YouTube video, dating from June 2008 and featuring Dan Ariely talking about how his experience as patient suffering 70 percent burns led him to explore pain management and question how supposed rational choices can be irrational. It looks at how cognitive psychology can effect choices and behaviour, especially in the sphere of economics. The video is presented as part of the Predictably Irrational website, that promotes Ariely's book of the same title.
Audio from a public lecture by Prof. Dolan from 8 February 2011. He considers the evidence for the idea that people make decisions that go against their own well-being, and also explores policy implications. It lasts 72 minutes and can be listened to online or downloaded as an MP3.
Maps of bounded rationality : a perspective on intuitive judgement and choice is Daniel Kahneman's 2002 Nobel Prize lecture, reviewing psychological and behavioural perspectives on economic choice following from his pioneering work with Amos Tversky. Includes a summary of their 'prospect theory', an alternative to rational choice theory that is consistent with their empirically discovered judgement biases, and a review of evidence for the main heuristics and their associated biases. Available as text or as a video of the lecture.
Why do smart people make irrational decisions every day? Why do we repeatedly make the same mistakes when we make our selections? How do our expectations influence our actual opinions and decisions? Dan Ariely of MIT applies behavioural economics to these questions in this 75 minute podcast. This event was recorded on 17 March 2008 at the London School of Economics. It can be listened to online or downloaded as an mp3.

I am looking for a high GB (>8) laptop or all-in-one computer. Any Black Friday deals out there? I
7 Answers answer
Check bfads.net for all the latest deals.
Also slickdeals and fatwallet.
But here's the best answer - ignore the RAM that is actually installed. Make sure everything else is good - intel makes the better laptop cpus right now, even a lowly i3 will trump most of the AMD offerings I've seen today. i5 is better. And overall, a SSD drive will provide a faster experience than more RAM.
Upgrading RAM is super cheap and easy right now too. HTH. Also, Tigerdirect is offering 120GB SSDs RIGHT NOW for $50, shipped. To lazy to make a deal for it.
thanks for your reply. What is another term for SSD? I can't find it in specs on Costco.
@xochiluvr: I found a crucial brand on tiger for 49.99 but not one with that many GB. Do you have to buy Specifically for PC! Or laptop? Do SSD's come with new computers?
@harleycat: SSD means Solid State Drive. It's a faster (usually more expensive) optional alternative to traditional rotating platter hard drive storage media. If the Hard Drive specs say something about RPM (5400 is common for laptops) then that's the traditional type of drive.
I bought my most recent laptop from here:
Also, in answer to your other question about memory - desktop and laptop memory are not interchangeable - desktop memory modules are going to be about twice the size of the laptop modules.
I agree on the point of shopping for better processor, graphics, features, hard drive, and RAM (in that order of priority) to get the best experience. Hard drives and RAM are the easiest and most affordable things to change, while also being one of the items that retailers mark up the most when they bundle them in a pre-assembled machine.
@liquidblue1: Thank you again. I know that desktop and laptop memory are not interchangeable, I did upgrade the GB's on my old desktop myself.
I was wondering about the SSD's. Are they specific to the operating unit? Also, do you have a link to the tigerdirect 120 SSD for $50? I could not find it.
You are really great to help me with this. I do appreciate it.

Georgia P (left) had her first black-eyed peas on New Year's day, a classic southern tradition observed here in the Parzen home.
Each year, Tracie P makes the peas, simmered with bacon, and serves them with sautée cabbage and cornbread, which she bakes in her grandmother Georgia's cast-iron skillet (Georgia P's namesake).
Georgia was more interested in a beautiful pear that we had ripened for her dessert. But it was a thrill for us to watch her taste black-eyed peas for the first time.
Our New Year's Eve celebration was tame but cozy, with a wine selection that was as predictable as it was delicious (Billecart-Salmon to toast the new year and 2007 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco for the meal).
I was supremely geeked to grill steaks on the new cast-iron ridged, pre-seasoned griddle that Tracie P got me for Christmas (it's a flat griddle on the other side). Just look at those scores!
Of course, no steak is complete at our house without a side of wilted spinach that has been sautéed in extra-virgin olive oil with garlic and chili flakes.
I actually make bacon bits for our baked potatoes, one of our favorite culinary rituals.
Tracie P employs the "Bourne protocol" to her baked tuber.
Happy new year, everyone!
In other news…
Above: Prosecco, "col fondo," lees-aged and undisgorged, the way it used to be (and the way it is produced by a handful of young producers who have revived the classic style, once in vogue but now eclipsed by "big" Prosecco).
I highly recommend Alfonso's recent post, the "Rape of Prosecco," his dissertation on the "perversion" of the Prosecco appellation.
"Many of us were struck by the harshness of the act that one man perpetrated early one morning in December in Montalcino," he writes, referring to the act of vandalism that destroyed six vintages of one of Italy's most coveted wines.
"It was horrid, indeed. But the systematic dismantling of tradition in the Veneto, from Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, on the gentle slopes that humankind has lovingly nurtured — that is tragedy of legendary proportions. Culture, tradition, quality, values — all receding like the arctic ice in the Polar zones."
I'm not sure what prompted him to post this on the eve of the New Year's celebration.
But I wholeheartedly agree with him and the Gramscian spirit with which he writes: "Enormous growth year after year has people chasing after more and more profit, pushing the land, changing laws, reducing the Veneto to a mere factory for the whims of folks who no longer want to spend money on Champagne and sparkling wine of character."
Chapeau bas, Alfonso. (Read his post here.)

I just got one of these for this price with an Amazon coupon -- I LOVE it. It does everything I need it to do, I can't imagine why you'd need to buy a more expensive model. My WiFi is pretty slow, but I have not yet had any issues with Netflix streaming.
I have this model as well. I love it.
other models are for 1080P, Bluetooth supports (for the BT remote need for some games) and lastly USB storage support, ethernet and A/V out (i.e. Red, white and Yello (composite) RCAs))
@burkhardi: this model has composite RCA out.

Lion in the Valley: An Amelia Peabody Novel of Suspense (Mass Market Paperbound)
The 1895-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Amelia Peabody, her dashing Egyptologist husband, Emerson, and their wild and precocious eight-year-old son, Ramses. The much-coveted burial chamber of the Black Pyramid in Dahshoor is theirs for the digging. But there is a great evil in the wind that roils the hot sands sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo. The brazen moonlight abduction of Ramsesand an expedition subsequently cursed by misfortune and deathhave alerted Amelia to the likely presence of her arch nemesis the Master Criminal, notorious looter of the living and the dead. But it is far more than ill-gotten riches that motivates the evil genius this time around. For now the most valuable and elusive prize of all is nearly in his grasp: the meddling lady archaeologist who has sworn to deliver him to justice . . . Amelia Peabody!
About the Author

At Ajabuland, every day's filled with unexpected adventure.
A faith-based childcare center located in St. Matthews, Ajabuland – originally Little Lambs Academy – prides itself on developing the whole child, especially his or her imagination, with the rule of thumb: "If you're not having fun, we're doing something wrong."
Ages infant to 12 are welcomed to the facility year-round, where little ones engage in constant learning, though, in their minds it's all fun and games. "When kids learn while they're having fun, the brain and the synapses just fire differently," explained Don Blevins, president of Fruitful Ministries, a non-profit religious organization overseeing the childcare center. "We've been going for about 25 years in childcare, but we changed the name about a year ago … because it more embodied our philosophy, our academics and our total child development. 'Ajabu' is Swahili for 'wonder,' 'imagination.' … It embodies our philosophy that a child's natural curiosity should drive the development and academics."
At Ajabuland, children enjoy mind-stimulating activities, including acting, singing, dancing and taking "educational ventures" around the two-and-a-half acre campus with imaginary figure "Captain Ed Venture" at the helm. By nurturing the right brain, geared toward more creative thinking, Blevins and his staff argue that kids advance more rapidly, developing qualities typically cultivated at a later age.
"At two, (my daughter) was saying full sentences, and our friends who had two-year-olds could not do that," said Melissa Payton, whose three-year-old daughter Aubree, two-year-old son and newborn attend Ajabuland. "(My kids have) been very verbal and expressive children (as a result of coming here)."
While fostering the imagination and creative thinking, employees of Ajabuland also ensure they attend to each child's specific needs and personal routine. With an enrollment of around 28 children and a staff of about six, including Blevins' daughter and sister-in-law, Ajabuland has a lower student-to-teacher ratio than the state requires, allowing more one-on-one time and a close-knit relationship with each youngster. Staff actively talk and listen to children in order to improve verbal development, and even teach infants how to use sign language in order to communicate.
"What we've done is we've tried to be a little different," Blevins said. "My wife and I studied child development when we were in college. My wife's always been in education. She's at Christian Academy (as) a librarian. When she was involved in childcare there were some things that weren't right, so I said, 'Why don't we just start a center and do it right.' … Our philosophy is children hear the word 'no' too much, so our attitude is let them experiment, let their curiosity drive them. … Because a lot of people don't realize 80 percent of the personality is developed by the age of six."
Ajabuland is also unique in that it houses an on-site organic garden, where children learn about eating – and growing – healthy food, such as tomatoes, watermelon, basil, herbs and kale. The center also raises an organic pumpkin patch, just ripe for Halloween.
"The master gardener at Whole Foods, she comes out and teaches the children organic gardening," Blevins explained. "So the kids get to play in the dirt. And it's a little bit of a deception to the children because they're actually seeing gardening as fun, not a lot of work."
The children aren't allowed to actually eat the food they grow, as required by the state, but they're entertained, nonetheless, playing outside as they practice teamwork, problem-solving and acquire a deeper understanding of diversity.
With fall just around the corner, Ajabuland will begin another school year, instructing children in preschool and caring for ages 12 and under during its before- and after-school program. As part of the curriculum, Ajabuland incorporates Christian values to emphasize character development. Though Bible stories may be emphasized as a teaching point, children with such religious affiliations as Rastafarian, Buddhist, Muslim and Hindu have attended Ajabuland. "Our attitude is, if we're really just sharing good character values, that's pretty much a universal language when it comes to convictions and spirituality," Blevins said.
"When they're going through a problem we just use morals and values that we have, to teach them how to be kind, that kind of thing," added Emily Blevins, assistant director of Ajabuland.
From the mind to the spirit, children are given a unique, well-rounded education at Ajabuland. Around Thanksgiving and Christmas, the center presents a play demonstrating the children's many talents. The kids also take field trips throughout the year to such places as the Frazier History Museum to further explore the world around them. And, with the center's very own Parent Teacher Association, Mom and Dad can play an active role in the entire childcare experience, accompanying their son or daughter on his or her exciting adventures every step of the way.
"(The most gratifying part of the job is) probably watching the reactions of the parents, because we see the children every day, so we watch them grow. But seeing the parents appreciate, I mean really appreciate, the difference of who we are as a family atmosphere (is special). When you put your child here you become part of our family."
Ajabuland is located at 1403 Browns Lane and is open from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information on Ajabuland, visit ajabuland.com or call 502.895.1675.

My app has one cronjob which is parse data from Internet and store into my db.
When user using my app, it will extract data from db, and show data to users.
I found that is too time consuming and too many request from db.
I want to revise each page when the cronjob running daily.
Then user can see the page without query my database.
How can I do that in GAE ?

I'm using the wikipedia page example:
Why is $P(\text{height} \mid \text{male}) = 1.5789$? This means the probability of height given male? The talk page has a similar question, unanswered.
the example added last august about sex classification is puzzling me, could anyone tell me how to compute the $P(\text{height} \mid \text{man})$? The author gave the value 1.5789 with a note stating that "probability distribution over one is OK. It is the area under the bell curve that is equal to one" which also puzzle me.

Saudi Ambassador to Jordan Fahd Alzaid today presented a check in the amount of U.S. $1.2 million to Karen AbuZayd, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The $1.2 million is part of Saudi Arabia's contribution to the regular budget of the UNRWA. In a statement to Saudi Press Agency, Ambassador Alzaid said that the Kingdom is one of the main donors to UNRWA and stressed the importance of the role played by UNRWA in serving Palestinian refugees.
Last month, the Kingdom provided a $600,000 additional support for UNRWA's projects in the Occupied Territories.

Does the software in the Mars Curiosity Rover have any security features built-in? I can't imagine how someone would hack into it, but if the rover does indeed have some protection against malicious hackers, what kind of attacks would it be protecting itself against?
I used to be a Command Controller (CC) at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) (http://lasp.colorado.edu/). I was one of the people who would sit in front of the console during the times when spacecraft were visible to the ground stations. I would read/record telemetry to ensure spacecraft health and often send up new commands that would be executed by the spacecraft.
In order to communicate with the ground stations (for both data and voice if necessary), the Mission Operation Center (MOC) at LASP had to have a connection to NASA's "red net". I am not sure if this was a LASP term or a NASA term. A google search turned up little information.
In order to be even let in the room with access to the "red net" background checks were required. Then, in order to actually interact with the console, you had to be a certified CC, or a CC in training being overseen by a certified CC. All CC activity is always overseen by a "Flight Controller" (FC) or even a "Flight Director" (FD).
In the training to become a CC, we all had to know exactly the packet structure of the communication protocol for every spacecraft we operated. While there were most certainly checksums in the protocol, I don't believe that there was any sort of encryption, authentication or verification of the data received by the spacecraft. The spacecraft are always designed to be very fault tolerant, and have fallback modes in case the RF communication is corrupted or there are other "single bit errors". Error detection and correction is a fundamental feature of RF spacecraft communication.
I also worked on one deep space mission, though not as a CC. Anything not in earth orbit would require much larger antennas and likely what NASA calls the "Deep Space Network" (http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/). This makes an attack even more challenging.
The risks as I see them today are several fold. I am not sure if they have since been fixed as I haven't worked at LASP in many years. I am also completely unaware of the design of anything but a few scientific missions. The worst things I think an attacker could do would be:
Otherwise, I am not sure what could be gained by an attacker.
Here are the vectors I see that may make an attack possible:
In either of these cases, the payoff would likely not be worth the reward. Then again, I only worked with "smallish" scientific missions. It might certainly be worth the risk for one country to "steal" a military spacecraft from another as the cost for a country to design, launch and maintain such a spacecraft is likely much greater than the cost of the attack. I imagine these have much stronger security though.
To answer your question, I don't know how secure the Mars Curiosity mission is. However, due to the distance, it probably operates solely on the DSN ground stations (very large antennas, of which there are only a handful in the world). Any attacker would either have to commandeer one of these stations, or build his own (which would be hard to hide). Further, the security of the communications between the ground stations and mission operations is certainly a top priority for NASA and JPL.
In summary, communications reliability is a much greater concern when designing spacecraft -- it's really hard to talk to stuff so far away, with so much interference in-between and the constant bombardment of radiation that can affect just about anything in the process. While there may or may not be any sort of encryption, authentication or verification in the RF communication between the ground station and the spacecraft, the ability to actually interfere would likely only be available to nation-states. It would also be hard to hide who would be behind such an attack and the political fallout would likely be immense.
Apparently, NASA is taking communication security very seriously (and I would, too, if I had 2G$+ toys to manage !). I think they've done so for a long time, because in the early times of space exploration (in the 1960s) they feared malicious interference from their arch-enemies, the Soviets.
(I do not have a reference handy, but my brain cells tell me that in the 1970s, space probe Voyager I did a radiometric occultation with Titan, a satellite of Saturn -- the probe was briefly hidden behind Titan, as seen from Earth -- in order to allow for some spectrometry on Titan's atmosphere, but the communication was jammed by a Russian satellite, so the same experiment had to be done again with Voyager II. I might have got some of the details wrong, and I am not sure the jamming was intentional.)
In addition to the other excellent answers here --
You asked about some of the threats that one must defend against. One possible risk is the possibility that the launch vehicle or spacecraft could be hijacked and retargeted to de-orbit and come back to Earth, hitting some designated location on Earth -- in effect, turning the spacecraft into a kinetic-energy weapon. While I don't know much about space-based navigation, I suspect that (apart from the payload) there's a fine line between a space launch vehicle and an ICBM. It probably would not be a good thing if someone could hijack the launch vehicle and cause it to come crashing back to Earth at some targeted location. Thousands of pounds of spacecraft de-orbiting into your backyard at a thousand miles per hour might give you a very bad day.

We'll Handle Your Marketing Needs While You Focus On Quality Ophthalmology Care
Among ophthalmologists, there is heated ongoing competition for a rapidly diminishing pool of LASIK procedures. LASIK surgery has many providers and a 95% patient satisfaction rate.
But this pool of candidates is diminishing for two reasons. First is the fear factor among patients who don't want to be among the 5% of less satisfied patients or those who have had complications. Second is the current economic climate, with its high unemployment and reduced spending on elective care.
Last year, many providers reported a 50% decrease in LASIK surgeries compared to the previous year. Many patients have lost their jobs and their benefits. Many are simply waiting for economic recovery before spending money on elective procedures.
Even if you do manage to survive without depending on those procedures, you still face stiff competition for the cosmetic procedures you want as well as declining reimbursements for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and other eye conditions.
And that's just the beginning. At your Strategic Growth and Ophthalmology Marketing Workshop, you'll learn how to differentiate yourself from your competitors and avoid price competition by using the power of your brand to add value to all your products and services.

7 Lost Bodies of Work (That Would Have Changed Everything)
History has one hell of a chronic problem when it comes to keeping some of the greatest triumphs in human achievement safe from the triumphs of greater assholes. As a result, a whole lot of the most important stuff humans have ever created has been destroyed or lost.
Here are a few of the works of art, literature and science that would have been some of the most influential in history, had they lasted long enough.
#7. The (Supposed) Lost Sayings of Jesus
The Q Document, if it exists, is probably the single most influential thing recorded, like, in the history of ever.
This is because the Q Document supposedly contains the lion's share of the collected teachings of Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth, and is the suspected source for many of his quotes in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
The Gospel according to Q.
Basically, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were written apart from each other, but there are certain sections to them that are nearly identical, right down to identical phrasing. So, some scholars think that means both books were referencing the same document. A document that apparently contained Jesus' teachings. A document that has never been found.
But if it's out there, somewhere, holy crap. The parts they used from it are the really important sections: the Golden rule, the Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, a bunch of parables... literally enough stuff to found an entire religion with. And that's only the parts they used.
What else was in there? We'll never know.
Red means Q wrote it.
So What Happened?
The mere existence of the document is the subject of heated discussion (as is, well, everything having to do with the subject of where the Bible came from). This has nothing to do with whether or not you believe in Christianity, by the way. The point is, the Gospels seem to be borrowing from a collection of sayings of someone who was, at the very least, one of the most influential teachers in human history. And we don't have the document they were referencing.
Keep in mind, working with what wound up in the Bible alone, we only have a few hours' worth of information on the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The dude was a freaking rabbi. There had to have been more to his teachings, never mind conversations, jokes and witticisms. Think of how the evolution of Western culture would have changed if we had more specific writings from Jesus on, say, slavery, or homosexuality, or abortion, or women's rights.
Or gun control.
Scholars arguing against the existence of the Q Document rightfully point out that this would have been a hell of a thing for the early church to lose. And it would have been lost a long, long time ago. We can't even find records of people referring to the document, no matter how far back we go.
Either way, if the Q Document ever existed, it is likely gone forever; buried in the middle of the desert, or even worse... erased from memory.
#6. The Half-Life's Work of Nikola Tesla
Tesla gets mentioned on Cracked just slightly less than Batman, but we'd probably have devoted the whole site to him if half of his life's work hadn't gotten lost in a fire.
Before he moved to Colorado Springs to help Wolverine do magic tricks in 1899, the bulk of Nikola Tesla's research could be found at 35 South Fifth Avenue, New York. Within this real life mad science lab could be found Tesla's full collection of equipment, notebooks, laboratory data and a secure perimeter of Tesla coils.
Tesla was as secretive and mysterious as he was awesome, and we can only speculate about the unholy inventions he was developing in his New York lab. One thing we know was lost was his unified field theory, something which scientists still haven't worked out to this day, but which Tesla claimed to have nailed by 1894.
Tesla showing Mark Twain his miniature Hadron Collider.
So What Happened?
It turns out that a fire of mysterious origins began in the basement of the apartment building that housed Tesla's lab, destroying absolutely everything.
Now, we're not so bold as to suggest that Thomas Edison personally snuck into Tesla's building with a tin of gasoline and a box of matches. We want to suggest that, but if anyone had the motive and the inclination to bust Tesla down a few notches, it was probably Guglielmo Marconi, another of his many, many rivals who mainly clashed with Tesla on the issue of radio innovations.
Marconi later got the Nobel prize for work that Tesla had almost certainly done in his sleep already. Not suspicious at all.
#5. The Library of Alexandria
It was simply the biggest, most famous and easily the most sorely-missed library in history. Situated in Alexandria, Egypt, the Library of Alexandria was the de facto National Archives of Antiquity. It housed anywhere between 650,000 to one million scrolls, which was basically everything ever written up until that point.
If it was old and it was worth a damn, you'd better believe this library had a copy of it. The life's work of hundreds, maybe even thousands of years' worth of geniuses could be found in their collection, and probably a totally kick-ass DVD collection to boot.
Not to mention that these are Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans we're talking about here: Do you have any idea how much porn their greatest library must have contained?
So What Happened?
Alexandria was situated smack dab in the middle of Let's-Burn-Shit-To-The-Groundville, Ancient Egypt. It's fairly remarkable that it managed to survive for as long as it did. During the centuries of its attempted existence, the Library of Alexandria--and all we could have ever wanted to know about the Ancients--was kind of destroyed multiple times, by various people who liked to burn things.
Historians aren't exactly sure at what point the Egyptians just stopped trying to rebuild the library, but it's generally accepted that it was partially or completely burned down four times--the first three at the hands of the Roman Empire (once by Julius Caesar himself) and then finally by the Muslim conquest of 642 at which point they apparently said, "You know what, screw it."
Actually, the only thing we do have left to remember the great Library of Alexandria with are a bunch of paintings of people burning it down.
#4. The Contents of Ernest Hemingway's Suitcase
Ernest Hemingway: Just about every word written by the man would put hair on your chest and brass on your balls. Had he not grown weary of his own badassery and taken his own life in 1961, he'd probably still be forcing the English-speaking world to sobbingly read through his books at gunpoint.
In one, now-lost suitcase, was the sum of just about everything Ernest Hemingway had written up to 1922, including his war years. Also, if we know anything about Hemingway: Some shotgun shells, a necklace of severed ears and a year's supply of black label scotch.
Trust us. There are books somewhere in there.
Why do we care about a bunch of his early stuff? Well, as one Hemingway biographer put it: "almost all writers show their chief debts in their earliest work." Imagine H. G. Wells without The Time Machine, J. D. Salinger without The Catcher in the Rye, or M. Night Shyamalan without anything prior to The Happening.
Such a world exists right now, and it is called "Ernest Hemingway without his suitcase." Your world.
So What Happened?
What else? His wife lost it.
Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, thought she was doing a good wifely deed when she gathered every scrap of her husband's writing that she could find around the house--including 18 full short stories and his first goddamn novel--and packed them all in a suitcase to take to where the future Nobel Prize laureate was staying in Switzerland "so that he could get on with his writing during the Christmas season."
The suitcase never made it to Geneva. It was most likely stolen at a train station before it even left the country. We can only assume that some crook dumped it down a storm drain upon realizing that it was full of worthless documents, tragically ignorant to the fact that he held a treasure that would've set him up for life if he'd only held onto it.

I am currently studying computer science and was wondering how strict coding styles are in industry, how much it differs between industries and if it is true that a stricter coding style is always better?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I work in the financial sector and have worked for a range of banks etc... Coding styles vary considerably from place to place, some have very precise and strict rules, others have none.
Coding styles have various pros and cons.
The pros of a strict coding style are:
The cons are:
Personally in my teams I encourage light-weight coding styles mostly because it looks good to the client. I believe code-review and design-review are MUCH more important.
The stricter and longer the coding style guidelines, the less likely employees will follow them.
Generally speaking, overly strict coding styles come from managers, tech leads, and architects who can't think of any better way to justify their existence to their organization. When you're in school, professors might preach them for similar reasons: they can't think of any better ways to teach students the things they will need to know in industry.
In general, coding guidelines should be just that: guidelines. When they become hard and fast rules is when things go wrong. Let me give you an example. In a C-like language, many projects might have a rule that each curly brace should be on its own line in a method definition. Like this:
This works in most cases. But what if the method definition is trivial? Which is better?
I would argue that the first is better. Some might feel the second is better, which is fine. If someone defines the method the first way, is it really worth your time to convince them to rewrite their code the second way? Probably not. There are usually better ways to spend your time. Like actually figuring out if their code works the way it's supposed to or determining if their design is good.
No, it's not true. Coding styles differ widely and are subject to preferences and a "stricter" style (and I'm not even sure if you can definetely say if one style is stricter than another) is not necessarily "better" (because better is also subject to preference).
Take for example code comments. Some might argue that the more comments the better because obviously it's more clear what the code does. Others would say that code that requires a lot of comments is poorly written because it's not self documenting (be it due to inappropriate naming or poor factoring). The same could be said about other aspects of a coding style.
The answer is going to depend on where you look.
For systems with ancient code bases, the coding style is usually less strict than on a newer project with a new code base. This is entropy at work - old code bases have more entropy because they've had longer to accumulate it.
It can vary even within projects within a single company, let alone between companies or industries.
'Always' is a sweeping absolute, and few absolute claims are always valid. Usually, a strict coding style leads to more uniform code that is easier to maintain. Sometimes, though, it leads to code that is harder to maintain, when the standards are inappropriate.
For instance:
The coding standard that said 'thou shalt document the return value even when there is no return value' was moderately ridiculous. I just spent some time removing the 'RETURN VALUE: void' comments (800 lines gone from the relevant file). The repeated comments between the one liner intro and the DESCRIPTION is also moderately pointless in this example - but I've not fixed that (yet). The idea is 'sort of' good, but when followed without using discretion, it becomes silly. And code templates encourage the addition of mostly unused information, which just makes matters worse. (Input arguments, output arguments - for functions with no arguments?) And what about the horizontal lines? Why not just:
There are some reasons to keep the function name at the start of a line - but 2 or 3 lines versus 14 is a lot of expansion for minimal benefit.
More developers are involved in a project, more valuable strict coding style is required. Too many "dialects" will mess up communication.
Because coding style is useful to people other than machine.
I find the primary reason for stricter coding styles is to help younger programmers develop a good style. Once you achieve a certain amount of experience coding styles do not necessarily help and in some cases can hinder "the flow". So my answer to your question is, it depends on the programmer.
E.g. having a rule saying all functions must be commented can cause some bizarre comments when the function name already tells the whole story.
While it's possible to cite all sorts of benefits and efficiencies by having one style, it's important to note that it's an entirely different matter to enforce one style.
The problem that Hungarian notation was intended to solve, (deriving a variable's type without seeing the declaration) was rendered moot once the IDEs started supporting cursor-hover-popup descriptions.
Quite frankly I'm surprised people worry about it beyond: CTRL-SHIFT-F, commit.
Eclipe, NetBeans and Visual Studio (the IDEs I have used the most) all have a "Format" button that formats the code a certain way (depending on the IDE and the plugins used).
In a consistent development environment all developers should use the same IDE, and, I believe follow the IDE's formatting style. This can allow the code to be uniformly formatted while not wasting the developer's time.
We can regret though that formats are not more easily customizable... Some modules (I think specifically about Eclipse STS's HTML formatter) just create unreadable documents.
It's a trade-off.
Strict coding styles can slow a product to market, especially if there is no complete or useful spec.
But coding styles can also help prevent a development effort from failing to get to market at all, as well as from some significant failures and costs after it gets there.
The basic reason is that many of these coding style rules are based on statistical evidence, not any logical necessity. Some are based on psychological principles that apply to typical programmers, not to every programmer (although they often seem most applicable to the very programmers who don't think these rules apply to themselves.) There is absolutely no reason why those old classic apps written in Fortran using gotos, global variables, and almost no comments can't still function perfectly well in some limited environment.

Tensions Rise Over Syrian War Ahead of Summit
President Barack Obama arrived in Northern Ireland on Monday for a summit of leaders that will center on the intensifying showdown over Syria's civil war, amid rising tensions between world powers over the conflict.
Mr. Obama will meet privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who on Sunday poured scorn on countries, including the U.S., for supporting Syria's rebels. His fiery comments came in the wake of an American decision to take part in arming the opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
In a series of moves in recent days, Washington has dramatically stepped up its involvement in the more than two-year-old conflict. Mr. Obama issued a classified order directing the Central Intelligence Agency to help furnish arms to rebels, and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel decided to keep U.S. F-16s and Patriot missile batteries stationed across the Syrian border in Jordan. The U.S. has thousands of troops in Jordan now for an annual training exercise.
Responding, Mr. Putin repeated his characterization of Mr. Assad's opponents as radicals who cover up their many atrocities. "You want to support these people? You want to supply arms to these people? This bears little relation to the humanitarian values that countries all across Europe have been propagating for hundreds of years," Mr. Putin said following a meeting with British Prime Minister David Cameron in London.
Mr. Putin's Russia has been the staunchest ally of Mr. Assad's regime during the conflict, consistently frustrating attempts by the U.S. and Europe to pressure the Assad regime through the United Nations.
He defended Russia's supplies of arms to the country as "completely in line with international law," inasmuch as Mr. Assad's government is still internationally recognized as legitimate.
"We are not violating anything—anything," Mr. Putin said.
Mr. Obama reaches the summit of the Group of Eight backed at home by a growing bipartisan consensus for more muscular U.S. action in Syria. Some lawmakers are hoping for even more U.S. involvement than the administration's vow to begin providing the rebels with arms and ammunition.
"We need to tip the scales—not simply to nudge them," Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a televised interview Sunday. "You can't just simply send them a pea shooter against a blunderbuss."
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R., Ga.), said he would back a no-fly zone and suggested he favored more powerful weapons be provided to rebels, noted that Mr. Assad had become entrenched and that the U.S. has done a good job "ferreting out" moderate rebel groups from extremists.
"If the military says that we need to implement a no-fly zone, we ought to do it right away," Mr. Chambliss said.
U.S. military officials have outlined plans for a limited no-fly zone that would stretch about 25 miles into Syria, offering a layer of protection for U.S.-backed operations arming and training Syrian rebels in Jordan. Top defense officials remain divided over even such a limited intervention.
Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.) said he worried a no-fly zone might lead to a "slippery slope."
"I'm open to all options," Mr. Udall said. "But I think that we ought to be listening to the president, we ought to be listening to military leadership."
The U.S. plans for military aid to rebels was backed by allies Britain and France. Mr. Cameron, after meeting with Mr. Putin on Sunday, stressed that Western leaders were committed to supporting "moderate" forces in Syria. While saying that the U.K. government hasn't made a decision yet to send arms to opposition groups—a measure strongly opposed by the Liberal Democrats, the coalition partners of Mr. Cameron's Conservative Party—he warned against the failure to back moderates.
"If we leave Syria to be fought over by a murderous dictator and violent extremists, we will all pay the price," Mr. Cameron said, referring again to "evidence" that Mr. Assad's forces have been using chemical weapons, notably poison gas, against the opposition.
On Sunday, the war ground on, as Syrian state TV and residents said an explosion shook a Damascus neighborhood that houses several embassies and a military airport, according to the Associated Press.

Cruisin' Back to the 50s Culver City Car Show - Web ExclusiveWritten by on May 14, 2009
For five years in a row now, George Barris has been coming from North Hollywood to beautiful downtown Culver City to host the Cruisin' Back to the 50s car show, held in May. From the way this event is growing, we expect it's got a lot more years ahead of it. The Exchange Club of Culver City sponsors the show, with proceeds benefitting local kids' charities, and the city fathers let George shut down a section of the main drag and a few side streets and fill 'em with show cars. Actually George usually brings a handful of his better-know TV and movie cars, and the participants do the rest. This year, approximately 400 musclecars, lowriders, street machines, novelty cars, custom classic pickups, and plenty of rods and customs filled the streets-plus (almost forgot) a row of modified Smart Cars (they're customizing them already folks!). Any leftover space was packed with spectators, vendor booths, and concessions. Thousands came out to see the cars, check out the merchandise, listen to the live music, and, if lucky, get autographs from Butch "Eddie Munster" Patrick, Elvira, and, of course, George himself. The awards, as always, were custom made and plentiful. We'll be back next year.

[sulfur recovery]
Technip has two contracts, worth
approximately 50 million in total, for the front-end
engineering and design (FEED) services of two refineries in
Kazakhstan. The scope involves the modernization of two out of three of
the countrys existing refineries.
The first contractfor Pavlodar Oil Chemistry
Refineryis an upgrading project of the Pavlodar
refinery, which is scheduled to be completed in the second
semester of 2013. The second project is for
Petrokazakhstan Oil Product and concerns the
revamp of the Shymkent refinery, whose FEED documentation
is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.
Both projects aim to increase production
capacity and conversion. They include new and revamp process
units, as well as utilities and offsite facilities.
Technips operating center in Rome, Italy, will
execute both contracts.
The MITC Consortium (consisting of
MODEC, Inc., IHI Corp., Toyo Engineering Corp.
and CB&I Nederland B.V.) has been awarded
a contract by PETRONAS for the front-end
engineering and design (FEED) of a floating liquefied natural
gas (FLNG) project on dual-FEED mode in Malaysia.
The FEED is for PETRONAS second FLNG unit. The FLNG is
designed to produce 1.5 million tpy of LNG at offshore Sabah,
Malaysia. The FEED includes the basic design of a natural-gas
liquefaction system using a precooling system, purpose-designed
hull, living quarters, mooring system, LNG storage tank and LNG
offloading system, followed by an engineering, procurement, construction, installation and
commissioning (EPCIC) cost estimate for the project. The FEED
and EPCIC cost estimate are expected to be completed by the
middle of 2013.
The technology of UOP
LLC, a Honeywell company, has been
selected by Heilongjiang Anruijia Petrochemical Co. to help
produce key ingredients for fuels, synthetic rubber and
plastics in China.
Honeywells UOP C4 Oleflex process will be used to
produce isobutylene, a key ingredient for fuels and synthetic
rubber. In addition, Honeywells UOP Butamer process will
be used to produce normal butane, a feedstock used to produce ethylene,
a building block for plastics.
The new units, expected to start up in 2014, will produce
180,000 metric tpy of isobutylene and 150,000 metric tpy of
normal butane at Heilongjiang Anruijia Petrochemical Co.s
facility in Heilongjiang Province, China. This will reportedly
be the first facility in China to dedicate a process unit for
isobutylene production using Honeywells UOP C4 Oleflex
process, and the first to license Honeywells UOP Butamer
process to produce normal butane.
Honeywells UOP will also provide the engineering
design, technology licensing, catalysts, adsorbents, equipment,
staff training and technical service for the project.
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. has a
contract from PETRONAS to develop a basic
engineering package for three sulfur-recovery units (SRUs).
Officials did not disclose the contract value, but noted that
the basic engineering services are being provided from
Jacobs Leiden office in The Netherlands.
Jacobs is licensing its proprietary SUPERCLAUS technology to
PETRONAS for the SRU project. Jacobs introduced the SUPERCLAUS
technology in 1985; there are now over 200 licensed units in
operation worldwide. The technology offers a number of
performance features in areas such as reliability, sulfur-recovery levels,
sulfur-emissions reduction and simple
continuous operation. PETRONAS new three-train sulfur
plant is part of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development
(RAPID) project site in the state of Johor, Malaysia.
Through the RAPID site, PETRONAS is establishing an
optimally configured, integrated refinery and petrochemical
complex that focuses on producing high-value-added petrochemicals. This involves
building a refinery to supply naphtha and to
produce gasoline and diesel that meet European clean-fuels specifications.
The petrochemical complex is designed and developed to produce
ethylene and olefins that are used in downstream plants to
produce petrochemical derivatives.
UOP LLC, a Honeywell
company, has announced that Chinas Jiutai Energy
(Zhungeer) Co. Ltd. has licensed Honeywells UOP
methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology to convert methanol from coal into key
plastics building blocks.
Honeywells UOP/Hydro MTO process converts methanol from gasified coal or
natural gas to produce high yields of ethylene and propylene,
building-block materials used to produce films, packaging,
plastics and other petrochemicals.
The technology allows producers in countries such as China
to tap abundant coal resources, rather than more expensive
petroleum, to produce petrochemicals.
Jiutai Energy will produce 600,000 metric tpy of ethylene
and propylene at its facility in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia,
China. In addition to technology licensing,
Honeywells UOP will provide basic engineering, catalysts,
adsorbents, specialty equipment, technical services and
training for the project, which is expected to start
up in 2014.
The MTO process, jointly developed by Honeywells UOP
and INEOS, converts methanol from crude oil and non-crude
oil sources such as coal or natural gas to ethylene and
propylene. The process, based on proprietary UOP catalysts, is
proven to provide high yields with minimal byproducts. MTO also
offers flexibility in the quantity of propylene and ethylene
produced, so producers can adjust plant designs to most
effectively address market demands. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Is the eternal life unique as it is?
Can there be two or three eternal lives? Apostle John said that those who believe in Christ the Son of God have eternal life (1 John 5:13). When the fall of man had just taken place, God made sure Adam wasn't able to partake of the tree of life and, thus, start living forever (Gen. 3:22,24). Was that eternal life that was contained in the tree of life the same as the life that apostle John is talking about in his epistle?

Anyone going to try and buy a Wii U at midnight?
I've always been a bit of a nintendo fanboy, but I just don't have the cash this time around.
I'm looking forward to all the reviews over the next few days though.
16 Answers answer
Nah. I'm not a gamer and wasn't impressed with its other capabilities. Sticking with my Angry Birds and my Roku.
No, I'll stick with my old-school Wii that never gets played. There will be something better next year that I won't buy either.
If only...
nope. Is there something special about the one bought at that time? It seems like I can get the same thing at a reasonable shopping hour if I even wanted one.
This seems like a rather quiet launch for a new console. While it can't possibly match the excitement of the launch of the original Wii, this is not even in the same ballpark from what I've been reading.
While I hope Nintendo does well with this, I'm not sure that will happen. They just don't seem to have gathered a lot of enthusiasm for it going in, which will make it hard to move units. Maybe they'll get more software makers to line up to make new games for it soon? Or maybe we'll see some meaningful third-party attachments (and not just stupid plastic grips) this time?
To answer your question, there do appear to be some people going out at midnight for a Wii U, but I am not one of them. I might buy one in another 12-18 months but not likely any sooner.
I am not at all impressed with the Wii U... it seems like a regular Wii with a tablet PC thrown in as an extra controller. Apparently the graphics got a much needed update, as well. Hopefully they will continue to make games for the older Wii, as I don't see the new helping out their bottom line.
I am at Target in line now. This is in no way a soft launch.
Everywhere I could think of locally is closed. Will likely get one sooner or later.
@morriea: Well, if history were to repeat itself you probably wouldn't be able to for awhile.. unless you wanted to pay $900 and buy it from a guy named Ice-Pick off of Craigslist.. the shelves were baron for awhile.
@Iparsons42: It's because Nintendo half-assed it this time around.. I'm a Nintendo fan, so I don't want to give the wrong impression.. but they basically took the Wii, added the processing power/memory it should have originally came with, gave it a new controller and called it day.. and I've never used one but the controller looks kinda "ehhh"
You're right about this being a quiet launch though, honestly I thought it was already out lol - I saw an ad for one in a Sears catalog (maybe a local store?) a few weeks ago.. I remember it because I thought "Oh hey, that's out already.. huh" I can't remember the last time a console launch was so low-key.
A Nintendo Wii-U? I'm still trying to justify buying a PS3 (no luck yet).
Just got back from my local Walmart. They had 5 black Wii U's and 4 white ones to grab. Only 9 people showed up who did not pre-order so it worked out well. Not a very big turn out. I did get my pre-order though.
Nope, we had it pre-ordered, but we arent picking it up. There arent any games that we HAVE to play right now, so it isnt worth the money. We will probably pick one up in a few months. I wanted to sell the pre-ordered system, but my fiance works for a major retailer and they frown upon that, so she squashed those plans pretty quick.
Just finished checking out. My local Target had ten extra past the pre-order. Nine deluxe and one standard. Now if you'll excuse me - I got some gaming to do.
I won't be getting this, I'm not even interested in it... I tried it out at gamestop, and while they only had one game to demo, I ran into something I consider a problem. The game kept having you switch from the TV screen to the controller screen. And you had to use the touchscreen to do things as well. If I'm playing on a TV, I'm playing on a TV. If I'm playing a handheld, I'm playing a handheld. There is NO reason to combine, especially since you can't exclusively play games on the controller's screen... Not to mention, after only 15 minutes, my neck was starting to hurt from having to keep switching screens.
I'm going to get flack for this, I know, but I can only see this contributing to ADD. Nothing says 'Focus on one thing at a time' than a games system constantly having you split your attention. LOL
I just read a review of Wii U, published on Friday in the New York Times. The possibilities of the touchscreen controller sound intriguing, especially the ability of the player with the touchscreen to influence the on-screen game (by adding obstacles or inserting a required dance move), or the increased variety of inputs (such as blowing into the mic to make a windmill turn). As someone who hasn't played any console more recent than SNES, this doesn't necessarily make me want to play Wii U, but I am impressed with the concept - hope the execution lives up to the ideas!
I was totally bummed out that Gamestop didn't do a midnight launch. I was even more bummed oud when I got called into work for an emergency. But now I have my preordered system and am performing an endless system update. No longer bummed out :D

There's good news for area golfers who enjoy hitting the links at Bowling Green City courses.
Management says revenue is up while costs for maintaining each course are down.
Last year, there was talk about selling some city owned courses.
City leaders say a mild winter and renewed focus on advertising have brought in more golfers.
"The days of waiting for people to come play on your golf course is over. We are going to go out and try to compete for golfers," says Bowling Green City Manager Kevin DeFebbo.
DeFebbo says while the increased revenue is a good sign, the potential sale of any golf courses is still up to the city commission.

Is there an Inyan of pregnant women walking over cut nails ex: a nail salon? Also, can I just vacuum up the cut nails from the floor?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Yes, Zahava, the gemara in Moed Katan 18 says that walking over nails can cause a woman to miscarry. One reason given (Be'er Hetiv/Tola'as Ya'akov) is because Chava caused the loss of "full-body nails". As a consequence, women are put in danger by the nails which remained on the fingers and toes.
The gemara gives options of how to dispose of them:
Vacuuming them would certainly fulfil the 2nd option. I'm not sure how far the 3rd idea goes and whether it would apply from one area to another area in the same salon.
The Mishna Beroura (260, 6) quotes Gemara Nidda (17a) disapproving someone who would throw nails on the highway after cutting them.
Indeed, a pregnant woman could step on them and lose her child.
Gemara's conclusion :
The practical advice is to throw them in the toilets because with modern ones it's considered as being buried.

I am writing a (commercial) book about cinema and reviews of movies. My question is about pictures to illustrate the text.
For example i suppose that i can't use the promotional poster of the movie without pay for that.
And about a simple screen of the movie? I need the authorization?
At least I can use (for free) a portrait of the director of the movie. right?
Note: This is an author edition.
