Arizona's controversial immigration enforcement law, "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act" (SB 1070, amended by HB 2162) requires state and local law enforcement agencies to check the immigration status of individuals it encounters and makes it a state crime for noncitizens to fail to carry proper immigration documentation. Soon after Arizona's governor signed the bill, challenges to the law were filed. This page highlights the suits challenging the Arizona law.

Ninth Circuit Upholds Temporary Injunction Against SB 1070; Arizona Appeals Ruling to Supreme Court
United States of America v. State of Arizona, No. 10-01413 (D. Ariz. prelim. injunction granted July 28, 2010); prelim. injunction aff'd , No. 10-16645 (9th Cir. April 11, 2011); petition for certiorari filed, No. 11-182 (Aug. 10, 2011)
Recent developments:
On April 11, 2011, the Ninth Circuit upheld a temporary injunction against four provisions of SB 1070 entered last July by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton. The Ninth Circuit's ruling thus continued to block enforcement of provisions that:
- require officers to make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if they possess "reasonable suspicion" that the person is unlawfully present in the United States, and require the verification of the immigration status of any person arrested prior to releasing that person (Section 2(B));
- criminalize noncitizens' failure to apply for or carry alien registration papers (Section 3);
- bar unauthorized aliens from soliciting, applying for, or performing work (Section 5(C); and
- authorize the warrantless arrest of noncitizens where there is probable cause to believe the person has committed a public offense that makes the person removable from the United States (Section 6).
The Ninth Circuit opinion is available here [2]. The district court's order is available here [3].
The United States filed suit against Arizona on July 6, 2010. The federal government argues that SB 1070, as amended, is preempted by federal law and violates the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The complaint alleges SB 1070 encroaches on an area constitutionally reserved for the federal government; conflicts with federal immigration laws and federal immigration policy; conflicts with foreign policy; and impedes the execution of the objectives of Congress.
The complaint states that SB 1070 pursues only one goal – "attrition" – despite the many other competing objectives Congress established for the federal immigration system. Thus, the complaint argues, if SB 1070 is allowed to go into effect, its "mandatory enforcement scheme will conflict with and undermine the federal government's careful balance of immigration enforcement priorities and objectives." The complaint alleges that SB 1070 will impose significant burdens on federal agencies and divert resources from "dangerous aliens" who are the federal government's top enforcement priority; result in the detention and harassment of authorized visitors, immigrants, and citizens who do not have or carry identification documents specified by SB 1070; ignore humanitarian concerns, such as protections available for noncitizens who have a well-founded fear of persecution or who have been the victim of a natural disaster; and will interfere with foreign policy and national security interests by disrupting the United States' relationship with Mexico and other countries.
The complaint alleges violations of the Supremacy Clause, preemption under federal law, and a violation of the Commerce Clause. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment stating that sections one through six of SB 1070 are invalid; a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the enforcement of such sections; and costs and other relief the court deems just and proper.

Plaintiffs Survive Motion to Dismiss in Class Action Challenging Constitutionality of SB 1070
Friendly House v. Whiting, No. 10-1061 (D. Ariz. filed May 17, 2010)
Several plaintiffs, including community service organizations, labor unions, a religious organization, and a business association, as well as several individuals (U.S. citizens and noncitizens), brought a class action challenging SB 1070.
The complaint, which was filed by the ACLU and other civil rights groups, alleges that SB 1070 unlawfully attempts to regulate immigration and punish those whom Arizona deems to be in violation of immigration laws. SB 1070 created state criminal offenses relating to immigration and requires state officials to investigate, seize, and detain persons suspected of immigration violations. The complaint states that the law is an "impermissible encroachment into an area of exclusive federal authority and will interfere and conflict with the comprehensive federal immigration system." In addition, plaintiffs allege that SB 1070 will result in widespread racial profiling; will subject people of color to unlawful interrogations, searches, seizures, and arrests; and will deprive people of freedom of speech and expressive activity.
The complaint contends that SB 1070 violates the Supremacy Clause, the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Due Process Clause, the Privileges and Immunities Clause, the Equal Protection Clause, and the Arizona Constitution. Plaintiffs seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, a declaration that SB 1070 is unconstitutional, and attorneys' fees. On June 4, 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, asking the court to enjoin enforcement of SB 1070 pending the resolution of the lawsuit. Numerous organizations submitted amicus briefs in support of the motion for preliminary injunction. In addition, several states and organizations have sought leave to file and filed amicus briefs supporting SB 1070. (Click the following link for amicus briefs [11].)
Beginning on June 15, 2010, various county attorneys and sheriffs filed substantially similar answers asserting that the action is not ripe because SB 1070 is not yet being enforced; plaintiffs do not have standing to bring the action; and as nominal parties, defendant county attorneys and sheriffs should be dismissed. The Pinal County Attorney and Sheriff, the Maricopa County Sheriff, and intervenor defendant Governor Brewer have filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs' case alleging that plaintiffs do not have standing and do not state claims upon which relief can be granted.
On October 8, 2010, the court ruled on the defendants' motion to dismiss and plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. The court denied defendants' motion to dismiss as to the majority of plaintiffs' claims, but granted the motion as to four claims. It dismissed two claims for lack of standing: 1) violation of the First Amendment pertaining to section 2 of SB 1070, see pgs. 10-11 of Order, and 2) violation of the right to travel under the Privileges and Immunities Clause, see pgs. 11-12 of Order. It also dismissed two claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted: 1) violation of the First Amendment pertaining to a subsection of Section 5 of SB 1070, see pgs. 20-21 of Order, and 2) violation of the Due Process Clause pertaining to plaintiffs' challenge to sections 2 and 5 of SB 1070 for vagueness, see pgs. 24-26 of Order.
The court ruled that plaintiffs in this action did not substantively challenge any provisions of SB 1070 that the court did not enjoin in its July 28, 2010 order in United States v. State of Arizona and thus, plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction was moot. However, the court acknowledged that plaintiffs did challenge provisions on some different grounds and if the court had not found the motion moot, it would have found "persuasive" plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment argument that SB 1070 "transforms investigatory stops into de facto arrests without probable cause."

League of United Latin American Citizens v. State of Arizona, No. 10-1453, (D. Ariz. filed July 9, 2010)
Two civil rights organizations and several noncitizens filed a class action challenging SB 1070. The complaint alleges that SB 1070 is preempted by federal immigration law and violates the Supremacy, Interstate Commerce, and Due Process clauses of the Constitution. Plaintiffs maintain that federal agencies that enforce immigration laws balance the "multifaceted and sometimes competing objectives that Congress seeks to achieve" and the state legislation "will simply drive immigrants from one state to the next, leaving national policies in shambles." Moreover, according to the complaint, Arizona's training materials, which were distributed to law enforcement agencies, "exacerbate the conflicts between the United States Constitution and federal laws on the one hand, and Arizona law on the other hand, by inter alia failing to recognize adequately the numerous categories of immigrants who did not enter the United States lawfully [but] nevertheless are eligible for legalization of status, and by permitting law enforcement officers to rely upon vague and ill-defined factors such as a person's 'dress,' 'difficulty communicating in English,' 'demeanor,' and 'claim of not knowing others … at the same location,' as providing justification for a detention based on suspected undocumented status." On September 13, defendants filed a motion to dismiss claiming plaintiffs lack standing and have failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders v. State of Arizona, No. 10-00943 (D. Ariz. filed Apr. 29, 2010)
Two non-profit organizations, including Conclamic Arizona, an organization with 30,000 affiliated churches and a membership of 300 Arizona pastors, as well as U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and other plaintiffs, brought a class action challenging SB1070. The proposed class includes "all persons who currently reside in Arizona and find themselves to be negatively affected by the proposed unconstitutional law."
In the amended complaint, plaintiffs allege constitutional violations, including due process violations, violations of the Supremacy Clause, and violations of the First Amendment. They seek class certification, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees.

Salgado v. Brewer, No. 10-00951 (D. Ariz. filed Apr. 29, 2010)
A U.S. citizen employed as a patrol officer for the Phoenix Police Department and Chicanos Por La Causa, a community development corporation and civil rights group in Arizona, brought a lawsuit challenging SB 1070. The amended complaint alleges that the law is preempted by federal law in violation of the Supremacy clause, conflicts with the Supreme Court's ruling in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982), and violates plaintiffs' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
On May 17, 2010, plaintiffs filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. On June 11, defendant Governor Brewer filed a motion to dismiss for lack of standing that is substantially similar to her motion in Escobar v. Brewer (see case summary below). The motion alleged that plaintiffs do not present a cognizable case or controversy and instead allege only "abstract outrage" at SB 1070's enactment. Judge Bolton heard oral arguments on defendant Brewer's motion to dismiss and plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction on July 15

Escobar v. Brewer, No. 10-00249 (D. Ariz. dimissed Aug. 31, 2010)
A naturalized U.S. citizen employed as a police officer with the Tucson Police Department brought a lawsuit challenging Arizona law, SB1070. The amended complaint alleges that the law is preempted by federal law, conflicts with the Supreme Court's ruling in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982); violates the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments; and violates the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Plaintiff requests declaratory and injunction relief and attorneys' fees.
On May 26, 2010, the city of Tucson, one of the defendants in the suit, filed an answer admitting many of the allegations in the complaint and alleging cross-claims against its co-defendants. Tucson seeks declaratory relief that SB 1070 is unconstitutional as preempted by and in conflict with the INA and a violation of the Commerce Clause. In its answer to the amended complaint, Tucson says that if the law is not enjoined, it will be required to implement an unconstitutional law and will incur liability for that conduct. Tucson subsequently filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, asking the court to enjoin enforcement of the law. On June 11, 2010, the Arizona cities of Flagstaff, San Luis, Somerton, and Tolleson moved to join the lawsuit as plaintiff intervenors.
On June 11, 2010, defendant Governor Brewer filed a motion to dismiss alleging that plaintiffs lack standing because they do not present a cognizable case or controversy. Defendant Brewer alleges that plaintiffs "essentially allege only 'abstract outrage' at SB 1070's enactment" and do not and cannot allege a real and immediate threat of harm from the enforcement of SB 1070. On July 2, 2010, defendant Brewer filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings in response to the city of Tucson's cross claim. The motion asserted that the Ninth Circuit has established a per se rule prohibiting political subdivisions of the state, such as Tucson, from challenging the constitutionality of a state statute and thus the claim should be dismissed.
On August 31, Judge Bolton dismissed Officer Escobar's claim for lack of standing. Judge Bolton found that the mere possibility that Officer Escobar could face future civil liability for enforcing SB 1070 did not present a sufficiently imminent injury to confer standing, particularly given that he would possess qualified immunity against alleged constitutional violations. Judge Bolton also construed SB's 1070 private right of action section to permit Arizona residents to sue state entities, but not individual employees, who fail to comply with its provisions.

Frisancho v. Brewer, No. 10-00926 (D. Ariz. dismissed Aug. 24, 2010)
A U.S. citizen resident of the District of Columbia who plans to visit Arizona brought a pro se lawsuit challenging SB 1070. The complaint alleges violations of the U.S. Constitution and the Arizona Constitution, including violations of the Privileges and Immunities Clause, the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Supremacy Clause. Plaintiff requests declaratory and injunctive relief and court fees.
On June 11, 2010, defendants Governor Brewer and Attorney General Goddard filed motions to dismiss alleging that the plaintiff's claims do not present a justiciable case or controversy and that plaintiff lacks standing to pursue them. Defendant Goddard argues that the plaintiff's assertion of injury rests on speculation about what may happen in the future and fails to consider amendments to SB 1070 that prohibit law enforcement officials from relying on race, color or national origin to formulate reasonable suspicion of unlawful presence. Defendant Brewer argues that the plaintiff does not have standing because he fails to state an actual, imminent injury in fact. Specifically, defendant Brewer contends that plaintiff's allegations are speculative and that "[t]he likelihood that plaintiff will suffer any cognizable injury related to SB 1070 is purely hypothetical and extremely remote."
On August 24, Judge Bolton dismissed Frisancho's claim for lack of standing. Judge Bolton agreed with Arizona that the plaintiff's potential injury was "too attenuated" to confer standing, finding the prospect that he would be stopped by police – and that police would have reason to suspect he lacked valid immigration status – was inherently speculative.

In forcing, we take a collection of forcing conditions and impose a partial order on them. The convention is that if $p$ is stronger than $q$, then we say $p < q$. This is perfectly fine, but it seems intuitively backwards to me. If I were designing the notation for forcing, I would want the stronger condition to be larger. (Something I read says, I think, that Shelah uses the opposite convention that I find more intuitive. Is this so?)
Further, if we are forcing with a collection of partial functions (as we often do), we want the stronger condition to be the partial function with the larger domain. This leads us to a definition of the poset order whereby $f < g$ iff $f \supset g$. This seems notationally awkward.
Nonetheless, Cohen must have had some good reasons choosing the order that he did. What is/was the rational for Cohen's notational convention? Does it have benefits today, or is it just an artifact of a older approach to forcing?

Really, you're commenting on a fast food meal? This is for people who actually want to eat healthy and know what's in their food by preparing it themselves. If Wendy's is what you want, then go get you're preserved-filled, non-nutritional "food" from them and stop wasting our time reading your garbage comments that have nothing to do with these recipes.

Wendy's Chicken Salad can be made even lower calorie by simply swapping out the regular dressing and either bringing your own diet dressing, your own spritz dressing or ask for their diet dressing. It's the dressing that makes it high in calories, not the chicken or the lettuce or the couple of mandarin oranges- even the few almonds in that package don't add much.

Commodity trader Gunvor Group won the contract to export products from Rosneft's three refineries in Russia's Samara region following a tender. Gunvor will export the products via its Ust-Luga terminal on the Baltic Sea and its 50%-owned Novorossiysk terminal on the Black Sea.
By SARAH KENT
GENEVA -- Cyprus-registered commodity trader Gunvor Group said
Wednesday it has signed a one-year contract with Russia's
state-controlled oil company Rosneft to export around 6 million
tons of oil products from Russia.
Gunvor won the contract to export products from Rosneft's
three refineries in Russia's Samara region following a tender.
Gunvor will export the products via its Ust-Luga terminal on
the Baltic Sea and its 50%-owned Novorossiysk terminal on the
Black Sea.
"This is a landmark deal, whereby Russia's largest oil
company will be able to take advantage of the country's most
cost-efficient export facilities, which have been created
by Gunvor Group," the company said in a statement emailed to
Dow Jones Newswires.
The commodity trader is one of the world's top players in
selling and transporting Russian oil. According to Gunvor's
website, Russian crude exports make up about one third of the
company's trading.
However, Gunvor's role in the Russian market came under
scrutiny in the last month after it failed to secure any oil in
Rosneft's semi-annual crude tender in September.
The latest contract with Rosneft to export oil products
"shows Gunvor's investment program has given the company a
competitive edge and we intend to remain a leading exporter of
many Russian products," a spokesman for the company said.

● 1st Rank in inter-colleges 'Antyakshari' competition.
So I have a few questions:
- Can "1st Prize" and "1st Rank" be used interchangeably, or is one more appropriate?
- Are both sentences grammatically correct?
- Can I get some more strong sentences instead of these?
- What is the English word for 'Antyakshari'? (This is just for users understand Hindi)

The question is to find whether it converges or diverges. If it converges, find what it converges to?
$$\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{2}{n^{1/3}} - \frac{2}{(n+1)^{1/3}}$$
I tried splitting up into two summations but that didn't help.
I think you can use the comparison test but if I use $\large\frac{2}{n^{1/3}}$ to compare, it is a $p$-series with $p < 1$, which diverges.

NC State Wolfpack Basketball 2015-2016 News and Updates
2014-2015 Season
2/25/15 - North Carolina State hasn't had their best season this year, but they are coming off a huge upset against North Carolina tonight. They ended up winning 58-46, and it's one of the biggest wins for them this season. A huge reason why they looked so good and claimed victory was because of Trevor Lacey and Ralston Turner. Both of these dynamic players ended the game with 14 points, and they did a majority of their scoring late down the stretch when it really mattered. The Tar Heels put up a fight, but at the end of the day, they couldn't hit clutch shots in the fourth quarter. Up next for NC State is a great game against Boston College, which goes down this Saturday. Tickets can be purchased for $2.

2/18/15 - The North Carolina State Wolfpack currently have a 15-11 record, and are the 9th ranked team in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Their last outing was against Louisville, the 12th ranked team in the nation right now. They ended up winning with a final score of 74-65. It was a sterling performance from NC State, and they are looking to build off this huge win. In their upset, NC State's guard Anthony Barber scored 21 points with 4 assists. As the game went on, his confidence just kept getting bigger and bigger. He couldn't miss at the end, and he really helped NC State gain confidence when they needed it the most. Up next for them is a game against Virginia Tech. Tickets for the game can be purchased now for $31.
2/13/15 - Fresh off a narrow loss to the second ranked Virginia Cavaliers, the Wolfpack have another chance to impress the selection committee with a Valentines' Day trip to Louisville. A win over the #9 Cardinals could help the Wolfpack play their way onto the right side of the bubble with the end of the conference schedule quickly approaching. With only two home games remaining, time is running out to see Trevor Lacey, Ralston Turner, and the rest of the Wolfpack as they try for their fourth consecutive NCAA tournament bid. Make sure to come out to PNC Arena in Raleigh for the remaining two home contests of the season- February 21st versus Virginia Tech and March 7th versus Syracuse. With tickets starting at just $34, Razorgator is the best place to get your tickets to see North Carolina State Wolfpack Basketball.
2/4/15 - NC State are trying to work collectively as a team, but they have struggled as of late. They played their hearts out this last Tuesday against Wake Forrest, but their efforts couldn't help them prevail. They ended up losing 88-84, and it's a tough loss for this talented team. In their losing efforts, NC State's Anthony Barber played an amazing game. He ended up with 28 points, and had 4 rebounds with 4 assists. It was a complete performance by him, but his teammates couldn't get it going when it mattered the most. They have their heads down right now, but have the chance to rebound in their next game against Virginia next week. Tickets for the game are available now with a starting price of $16.
1/27/15 - This past Sunday, NCAA men's basketball featured a great game between North Carolina State and Norte Dame. Both teams fought their tails off, but it was Notre Dame who proved to be the superior team. They ended up winning 81-78. It was a tough loss, but NC State have a lot to build off of going forward. Their junior guard, Trevor Lacey, went on to score13 points and had 7 assists. He passed the ball around nicely, but it was NC State's defense that really didn't shine on the night. They will need to pick up their intensity in their next game if they want to come away with the win. Up next for them is a game against Clemson. It's an evenly matched game, and tickets for it are available for $1.
1/21/15 - The fifth ranked team in the Atlantic Coast Conference is the North Carolina State Wolfpack. They sport a 13-6 record, and are coming off a huge win over Florida State. The final score ended up being 72-63, and a huge reason for their success was because of Trevor Lacey. This junior guard ended up scoring 17 points with 5 rebounds. Five of his points were scored with just one minute remaining, which helped his team pull away with the win. They will need him to keep up these types of efforts if the NC State Wolfpack want to go far this season. Up next for them is a game against Miami, which takes place January 22, 2015. Tickets are available now for a low $2.
1/12/15 - No one expected the North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball team to stand a chance against the undefeated Duke Blue Devils when they played on Jan. 11th. The Wolfpack had an excellent early season, but they have been running low on steam lately. Right on the heels of their dismal loss against the number three team, the Virginia Cavaliers, North Carolina State was able to shock the audience and hand the number two team their first loss, all the way from the number 17 position. With a final score of 75-87, this win brings the Wolfpack to 12-5 and hopefully will give them the momentum they need as they enter the final stretch of the season. They play the North Carolina Tar Heels next. Tickets start at $147.
1/6/15 - The North Carolina State Wolfpack have had a successful season thus far. Currently, they are first in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and they are hoping to do big things this year. Tonight, January 7, 2015, NC State took on Virginia, who was the 3rd ranked team in the nation. It was a close game for four quarters, but Virginia was able to pull away with the win. The final score ended up being 61-51. In their hard fought loss, Ralston Turner scored 14 points and had 3 rebounds. He was a driving force for NC State tonight, but it was not enough to score the much-needed upset. Their next game is against Duke, the second ranked team in the nation. Tickets can be bought now for $51.
1/1/15 - The North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball team is still going through some hard times as they come up short against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Tuesday. Earlier this month, the Wolfpack was nearly undefeated, but now they have lost three of their last five games. North Carolina simply had a slow start this game, being behind by 15 at the half. They did much better in the second period, but it was already too late. A final score of 76-60 brought North Carolina to 10-4. While it is disappointing to see so many losses in a short time, the Wolfpack is still one of the higher ranked teams in the league. If they can turn things around soon, they will not have anything to worry about. Their next opportunity is against the Pittsburgh Panthers on the 3rd.
12/25/14 - The North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball team has been on shaky ground lately, suffering all three of their losses this season in the last six games, but they still managed a nice clean win against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Tuesday. They were behind by a whopping 15 points at the end of the first half, but they scored very nearly double the Bulldogs' points in the second half. A final score of 65-73 ended a close game, but still put the Wolfpack securely in the lead. Trevor Lacey led his team with 20 points, however most of them were in the second half. North Carolina State will be playing the Cincinnati Bearcats (8-3) on the 30th and tickets are available for as little as $1.
12/17/14 - North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball looks to rebound after a heartbreaking 55-54 loss last Sunday to the Wofford Terriers. In a mostly even game, the Wolfpack doomed themselves with 11 turnovers, allowing their opponents 14 more scoring opportunities, including junior Justin Gordan's layup with 1.9 seconds remaining that would ultimately seal the win for the Terriers. Trevor Lacey sank a running three-pointer at the buzzer for NC State, but it was waved off, as officials ruled the ball had not left his hands before time expired. It was a tough way to end the game for the junior guard, who led his team with 18 points and four assists. The 'Pack will try to get back on track when they host Tennessee on Wednesday, before a weekend showdown with no. 22 West Virginia. Go Wolfpack!
12/11/14 - North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball got back into the win column on Saturday, defeating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons by a score of 78-65 in the ACC opener for both teams. Senior guard Ralston Turner led the way for the Pack, scoring 21 points on 7-13 shooting in 38 minutes. Junior guard Trevor Lacey added 15 points to go with a game-high six assists for NC State, who bounced back from their loss on the road to Purdue, improving their record to 7-1 on the season. The Wolfpack will try to continue building on their flawless record at PNC Arena this weekend, as they face Will Saunders and the Big South-best Charleston Southern Buccaneers on Friday night, before hosting the Wofford Terriers on Sunday afternoon.
12/4/14 - The Wolfpack suffered their first defeat of the season on Tuesday, falling 66-61 to Purdue in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The loss dropped them to 6-1 on the season, and 0-1 on the road. Sophomore forward Kyle Washington led NC State with 17 points and nine rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Boilermakers, who shot only 39 percent from the floor but won the battle on the boards, as well as dishing five more assists as a team. The Pack returns home Saturday night and will look to regroup versus the 4-4 Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Tickets are available through Razorgator, and with seats starting under $5, there's no better time to get out and show your support for North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball!
11/24/14 - The undefeated North Carolina State Wolfpack easily dismantled the Jacksonville Dolphins on November 22nd, winning 79-43. They followed that with a close 68-65 home victory over the South Florida Bulls on Sunday afternoon. The Wolfpack's leading scorer so far in the young season continues to be sophomore guard Anthony Barber, with an average of just over 16 points per game. NC State is currently ranked in the top 3 in the entire nation for rebounds. Led by forward Lennard Freeman, the team is averaging 52 boards per game. The Wolfpack's next home game is against the Richmond Spiders, with tip-off on Wednesday, November 26th at 7 pm. Next up, the Boise State Broncos visit the PNC Arena on Friday, November 28th. Tickets can be had for an unbelievable price of $1. Buy today to be a part of the tradition of NC State Wolfpack basketball!
11/21/14 - Taking on JKST in their season opener, the North Carolina State Wolfpack wanted to make a statement. They did just that, beating their opponent 93-58. From the very beginning, it wasn't that close. Leading his team to victory was Anthony Barber, who went on to score 25 points. He also had 6 rebound and 6 steals, which played a crucial part for the Wolfpack's defense. They will need him to continue his efforts in order to build some momentum in their conference. Trevor Lacey also had a great game, scoring 25 points and going lights out from the 3-point land. His dynamic shooting got the rest of the offense going. Next up for them is a game with JAC, which they are heavily favored to win. In order to come away with the win, Barber will need to set the tempo early. Tickets for the game can be bought now for an extremely low price of $1.
11/13/14 - North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball kicks off its season by hosting the Jackson State Tigers at the PNC Arena in Raleigh Friday, November 14th. North Carolina State Wolfpack is likely to have an interesting season since they have only one designated point guard on their roster, Cat Barber. Barber's performances seemed to be hit and miss last season, and this season he will have a lot riding on his shoulders. He has been spending his off-season developing coaching skills on the court with the help of head coach Mark Gottfried. North Caroline State hosts the Jackson State Tigers on Friday, then hosts Hofstra Pride Basketball on Monday, November 17th. Tickets are still available for the opening game and Monday's game starting at $2 and $1 respectively.
2013-2014 Season
2/7/14 – With just five weeks left until Selection Sunday, the Wolfpack are going to need to make some major moves to get into the NCAA Tournament. NC State's first chance to prove they are ready to dance, will come Saturday against 2013 ACC Champion Miami Hurricanes. Vying for one of the last 10 at-large bids that makes up the 68 NCAA field, NC State wins against Syracuse and Pittsburgh on the road and versus North Carolina at home, will give the Wolfpack their best chance to jump in the RPI and get on the other side of the bubble come selection time. NC State vs North Carolina Tar Heels basketball tickets are by far the most expensive, averaging $135 for the rivalry game. All three other games left at PNC Arena this season - Wake Forest Demon Deacons (avg. $16), Miami Hurricanes (avg. $39), Boston College Eagles (avg. $29)- have North Carolina State Wolfpack tickets available for under $10.
1/9/14 - The North Carolina Wolfpack upset the Fighting Irish to win their first conference game on the road over Notre Dame, pushing them up to No. 7 in the ACC standings. The win granted NC State a much-needed boost to get them back on track after losing their conference opener to Pittsburgh, collapsing in the second half at home this past Saturday. Now, with a 1-1 record in the AAC, the Wolfpack can improve their standings with their first conference win at home when they take on the #3 Virginia Cavaliers this Saturday. Sophomore wingman T.J. Warren helped take the squad to victory, and remains the ACC's top leading scorer with 23.8 avg ppg, while Anthony Barber provided stunning assistance in the team effort. NC State won't be back home until Jan 20 against Maryland, so grab your tickets now for this weekend for just $19!
NC State basketball has always been a distinguished force in the
, as the Wolfpack was a founding member of the conference. They have two national championships and ten conference championships under their belt. Mark Gottfreid is in his third year of coaching and has taken the Wolfpack to the
NCAA Tournament
each of his years (once to the Sweet 16). The season he has a young group of men eager to prove their skills when they take court to claim their division, a title they have missed since 1979.
This year, the Wolfpack opens at home with a game against Appalachian State on Nov 8. They will open ACC play against the
Pittsburgh Panthers
at home (Jan 4), followed by a schedule lined with tough opponents: #21
Notre Dame
, #4
(Jan 18) and #12 North Carolina (Feb 1). They are pitted against rivals
North Carolina Tar Heels
in February, last year they split their heated meetings, but things may not be so even this time around, as the Coaches Poll ranks North Carolina No. 11 while NC State did not cut the Top 25.
Gottfried has a team that is currently ranked 9th in the ACC, but has a lot of new players to make up one of the youngest squads in the nation. Five of their six scorers gone: two were lost to the NBA draft (CJ Leslie and Lorenzo Brown), two more graduated, and Rodney Purvis transferred over to UConn. Only two players are returning this year, and both are sophomores: forward Raleigh-native T.J. Warren is the new go-to scorer, who will get support and assists from point guard Tyler Lewis. Both made a good showing during the Wolfpack's exhibition match against Pembroke, up 96-85. In what some are calling a rebuilding year, Lewis believes the team will "surprise" many when they look to make waves in the
. Go Pack!

The 5 Most Widely Believed WWII Facts (That Are Bullshit)
#2. Hitler Was an Evil Genius
Claimed By:
The [Alternate] History Channel , Nazi admirers, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
Hitler, in addition to being the go-to example in every bad debate, has sort of become history's supervillain. Hitler was the Lex Luthor to the non-Aryan Superman.
Why it's Bullshit:
Since there are no cheap shots when it comes to Hitler, let's get this out of the way: Do you have any idea how hard it is to get rejected by an art school? Chris Ofili got into art school, and he painted a Virgin Mary using fecal matter.
Yet Hitler failed his entrance exam. Twice. And his cognitive failings continued long after academia. The guy was like the polar-opposite of Charlie Brown: shitty at everything, yet unbelievably successful.
His Munich Beer Putsch was basically one enormous "let's get arrested!" day event, yet he somehow got away with serving only a few months for "high treason." While in jail, he wrote a book so shitty that it makes Stephen King's Christine look like Wuthering Heights, and yet it made enough money that Hitler was able to buy a Mercedes from the royalties while he was still imprisoned.
As a politician, he was a famous speaker despite his silly accent; had trouble breaking 40 percent in the polls despite "thinning" (assassinating) opposition. We'd accuse him of witchery were we not so sure he would have fucked that up too.
His contributions as a military tactician included allying Germany with a living cartoon character.
Benito Mussolini: This dude existed.
Hitler simply gets too much credit for the decisions made by people around him. Germany's successful invasion of France, for example, had nothing to do with Hitler's planning. His contribution was the part where he let 300,000 Allies escape at the Battle of Dunkirk, and where he singlehandedly blew The Battle of Britain with every advantage going for him, canceling the invasion of Britain in what would be the first real turning point of the war.
In short, Hitler was that asshole who knows absolutely nothing about Texas Hold 'Em, yet kept winning every round because the bastard had more luck than brains. You never hear about the bumbling shenanigans he lucked his way out of for the same reason they never used Forrest Gump as a Bond-villain: It doesn't make for a good story.
#1. FDR Knew About Pearl Harbor Ahead of Time
Claimed By:
Conspiracy theorists, amateur historians, political opponents and The Freaking History Channel.
Allegedly President Franklin D. Roosevelt had advance knowledge about the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor, and deliberately let it happen so that Congress would declare war against Japan and Germany. In short, FDR on December 6, 1941 was like Vizzini from The Princess Bride, deeply engaged in a roundabout battle of wits with unsuspecting American lives.
"But really it is I who surprised JAPAN!"
Why it's Bullshit:
First of all, the only reason why this rumor exists is because it was a smear used against FDR by his political opponents. The 1944 Republican nominee for president, Thomas E. Dewey, nearly made it an issue in his campaign. It was only after Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall explained what a dick move that would be that Dewey abandoned it.
But besides that (and the complete lack of evidence for it), the whole scenario just doesn't make sense. It'd be like FDR crashing a biplane into the Hindenburg just so he could light a cigarette he had no intention of smoking.
Yes, U.S. code breakers anticipated something to happen on December 7 (December 8 in Japan), but thought an attack on Pearl Harbor was unlikely since the Japanese had been staging diplomatic talks with the U.S. since late November. Only a paranoid lunatic would have anticipated that the peace talks were, in fact completely fraudulent, and that Japan had secretly deployed a strike force (under strict radio silence) right outside of Hawaii in the week before December 7.
In short, American intelligence expected an attack on the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Dutch East Indies, Midway, Wake Island or Guam if the peace talks fell through. They didn't expect Japan to attack everything on the menu including the U.S. Pacific Fleet docked at Pearl Harbor.
Besides, FDR was no Dick Cheney, and selling his war against Germany was far from a sure thing, since it wasn't Nazi planes that attacked Pearl Harbor. Opposition still enjoyed the support of prominent American
Nazis bigwigs such as Henry Ford, and the U.S. Army was so weak at the time that they had to train with wooden guns.
Truth be told, had Hitler not declared war on the U.S. four days later, FDR would have had one hell of an uphill fight getting Americans to fight, even with Pearl Harbor.
So to recap, America, the hero (actually Pippen, or possibly Rodman to Russia's Jordan) of the war, might not have joined the beloved (reviled drunk) Churchill, had it not been for the maverick decision (one of countless tactical errors) by the diabolical (borderline retarded) Hitler. Bang up job, History Channel!

We are having a requirement to store large files (~1GB) encrypted and decrypt them when reading. We are looking to use AES-CTR or AES-GCM mode to encrypt the data. There are scenarios where we want to divide the files into chunks/blocks and then decrypt these chunks in parallel. So my question is that is it possible to do it with these algorithms? If yes, what are considerable points while doing it. If no, how best to achieve it (the main requirement is to achieve parallelism).
With AES-CTR, it is trivial; it's actually one of the advantages of using the scheme. In AES-CTR, there is a counter which is incremented for each block, encrypted, and then XOR'ed to the ciphertext in order to obtain the plaintext. To parallelize the decryption of, e.g., 100 blocks, you simply encrypt the counter for the 1st-50th blocks in one thread and the counter of the 50th-100th blocks in another (simply add 50 to the initial counter value and start from there).
AES-GCM is more or less the same, since it also uses something like CTR internally for encryption. You will have to also check the authenticity, but this can also be done in parallel. (Some people are not confortable with starting decryption before checking the authenticity, but that's another discussion...)

On the bright side, 2.1 fixes bugs for me - although it still doesn't do basic things.
I've come from FlashBuilder/Flex and getting Sencha to work as described is proving to be a big hurdle. At this stage I think I'll run out of the 30 day trial before getting "Hello World" to work!

I've recently created a component which renders a Javascript or JSON object as a hierarchal tree, recursively building the TreeStore from said object. I needed a way to explain data structures to some friends, and this was the easiest way to do so.
I still need to add some functions to reload the TreeStore with new objects, find objects, and otherwise interact with the component, but I figured it was in a good enough state to push out.
The code is available for use on GitHub, you can see it on my blog, so take a look, feel free to clone it and play around.

Firstly, thanks for this extension. It is quite timely as I've just needed it for a project I'm working on.
That being said however, I cannot seem to get it to work!
A couple of things:
When I try to load it into the browser, I get this error:
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Cannot modify properties of a WrappedNative" nsresult: "0x80570034 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_MODIFY_PROP_ON_WN)" location: "JS frame :: http://connect.dev.lan/js/thirdparty/extjs/ext-all-debug-w-comments.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 6035" data: no]
c is not a constructor [Break On This Error] this.instantiators[len...'return new c('+args.join(',')+')'); ext-al...ents.js (line 6456)
function(response) { mask.hide(); var win=Ext.widget('devResWin'); win.add ( Ext.widget ( 'objectbrowser', { data: response } ) ); }
Thanks in advance!

Object Browser Issues
I'm definitely interested in seeing how you did this. Timothy, I'll take a look when I get a chance this week and figure out why you're getting that error.
8 Aug 2011 8:15 PM #6
Here ya go. Not fully tested yet but should give you the idea. I wanted it to match the json object viewer in the chrome debug panel as closely as possible.
9 Aug 2011 11:01 AM #7
Nice Layout
To be honest, I like your style quite a bit more. It's very clean, much easier to read and look through than what I have.
Nice job!
9 Aug 2011 6:24 PM #8
Thanks feel free to use it if you want, I just haven't tested it very much. It was only meant for json data so functions are not supported but shouldn't be too difficult to add.
10 Aug 2011 9:29 PM #9
Ah, that is very nice.
I can't wait to see what the two of you come up with when you combine these two extensions.
Please keep us updated.

As has been the case more often than not, Mother Nature has disrupted a
perfectly laid out plan. Sunday June 21 was supposed to be the finale of the Fast
Lane Motorsports Northern Super Stock Challenge, but with her usual precision
she obliterated the second leg of the series by causing a rain cancellation at the
ABC Raceway in Ashland, WI. The final leg of the three day series will now be
presented Saturday June 27 at ABC Raceway and become the finale.
The opening round drew 29 Super Stocks on Friday June 20 and round two
brought 27 of them to the Proctor Speedway. It was a full program to compliment
the Super Stock Challenge with a total of 99 cars in competition including 24
Midwest Modifieds, one of the largest weekly fields in that division here this

Direct mount rear derailleurs, MatchMaker lever mounts, and SRAM's new XX1 drivetrain are all examples of mountain biking's current simplification trend. And if you're going to take advantage of the reduced weight and complexity of SRAM's new 1x11 drivetrain, you'll need a wheelset that's compatible with its cassette. Don't worry, this isn't as daunting as it sounds. All that's needed in order to make DT Swiss's 180, 190, 240, or 350 hubs compatible with XX1, is to swap out the existing freehub body with a XD Driver.
The DT Swiss XD Driver can be changed without tools and is available for standard quick-release, 10x135mm, and 12x142mm axles.

I have a 2014 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp hardtail with the stock wheels (roval rims/dt Swiss spokes/ specialized hi lo rear 135mm QR). Will this freehub work on my wheel so I can fit the Sram 10-42 cassette? If not, is there one for sale here that will? Thanks!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Pretty simple to switch out. It can be difficult to pull the end caps off, it takes a little force to pop um off. Goes back together way easier.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Needed to go with my hub. Works great.
I have a Giant P-XC 2 29er wheelset - I believe the rear hub is a DT Swiss 350 OE hub and would be compatible with this freewheel body, but can anyone confirm this will definitely work before I pull the trigger? TIA!
Yes, this will work just fine.
will this work on a Roval control carbon wheel?
Should be good to go - 99% sure those are DT 240 hubzzzz :)
this XD Drive fit on my sram X9 hub?
No, these are meant to be used for the DT Swiss series hubs.
I have a DT Swiss 350 Hub with X01 and the proper XD Driver already, however I'm looking to upgrade it to the 36 tooth star ratchet. I've found the conversion kit, but it cost more than this advertised price, just wondering if this hub is 18 or 36 tooth star ratchet, might just swap the entire hub, less fuss, less work, less money at this price?
My frame spacing is 150,My dt swiss 350...
My frame spacing is 150,My dt swiss 350 hub is 150,and the only freehub I can find is 12x142 . Do I use spacers to make up the 8mm difference?
The 150mm spacing is determined by your hubshell; the freehub body is the same standard for all spacings. Make sure you have a 12mm axle.
Will it work on the DT's 1600 wheels?
Will it work on the DT's 1600 wheels?
According to the DT Swiss manual ( http://www.dtswiss.com/Resources/Support/Catalog/DT-Swiss-Techbook-2013.pdf , page 32) both the DT 1600 SPLINE 26" and 29" utilize the "Ratchet System" freehub body which would be interchangeable with this XX1 version. If you're wheelset is truly the "1600" then I would say this product would allow you to use the XX1 or X01 cassette on your current wheelset.
Does the job
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently upgraded my Yeti SB66 with XX1 and put this freehub body on my DT Swiss 1600 wheels. It worked perfectly. Cheaper and easier than a whole new wheelset.

Is WD-40 really bad to apply on bikes? I was told so but still see people doing that.
Also I saw WD-40 launching their new products of bike lubricant and degreaser. Did anybody try those?
Is WD-40 really bad to apply on bikes? I was told so but still see people doing that.
Also I saw WD-40 launching their new products of bike lubricant and degreaser. Did anybody try those?
WD-40 is mostly a solvent with a very light lubricant mixed in. It's great for getting stuck parts moving again. When you spray it on, the solvent dislodges whatever gunk may be causing the part to stick and then evaporates, leaving a light lubricant behind. This will allow the previously stuck part to move again.
The reason it is generally not considered a good bicycle lubricant is because it is a light lubricant. It's just fine for household items like door hinges, which aren't exposed to weather and don't get moved a couple hundred times a minute. But the lubricant is not thick enough to adhere to rapidly moving bike parts for any length of time, especially when you add a little bit of road grit and/or rain.
Some people do use it for loosening up shifters in the winter time (they stick when it's cold) or cleaning chains and derailleurs. You will notice in the answers and comments on the aforelinked question, and this one, that whether or not this is good practice is highly debatable. Some people will use WD-40 as a cleaner and degreaser followed by a bicycle-specific lubricant, with or without a cleaning inbetween, depending on personal preferences.
I don't have any experience with their bicycle-specific products, but they're a solid company that's been in the business of cleaning and lubricating mechanical parts for a long time. They also make Lava soap and 3-in-1 Oil, a product that was originally designed as a bicycle lubricant (although they did acquire both of those from other companies). I actually didn't know until I read this question that they were making bicycle-specific lubricants now. Given their history and the number of patents that they have to draw ideas and develop from, I'm certainly willing to give them a shot. The worst case scenario is that I have to clean it off and go back to my previous products.
WD-40 (original) can be used as a de-greaser on bike parts. It is a bit harsher than other bike specific de-greasers, or common house hold degreasers (like Simple Green) that are often used by bike mechanics but essentially does the same thing.
Keep it mind that it is NOT a lubricant, but a de-greaser. After using any de-greaser you want to wash the area with soap and water and then apply a lubricant.
I have used the WD-40 bike specific lubricants and don't have any complaints. The wet lube held up well in a few nasty cyclocross races, and the dry lube is what I've been using on my "indoor trainer" bike.
They have thrown a lot of money into the launch of these products over the last few months and I expect that with this type of support, their products will become a household name in the bike space in the coming years.
The "W" in WD-40 stands for water and the "D" stands for displacement, and the 40 stands for the 40th. attempt at being successful with the product. WD-40 doesn't really lubricate much of anything. It's actually a de-greaser, so it will remove any lubricant from bicycle chains, cables and other pivot joints. If you're cleaning your chain for re-lubrication purposes with a product other than WD-40, then WD-40 will be fine to use. It's also said to "rust proof" items, but probably because of it's ability to displace water which commonly causes rust to form. I haven't tried any of the new products yet. They have a bike "degreaser", a bike "foaming wash" and two different chain lubricants, as well as a frame protectant. It will be interesting to see some reviews about these new products as far as pricing and how well they work.
I like wd40. I usually use this protocol when using it for both degreasing and lubrication. This only works if wd 40 is being used for both degreasing and lubrication, and there cannot be substitution.
1) Spray chain and cassette and let sit 15-20 minutes
2) Wash chain and cassette in soapy water.
3) Dry completely
4) Lightly spray wd 40 on the chain and cassette.
5) Lightly grip chain with rag and run through about 3-4 times.
Everyone says Wd 40 is a lousy lubricant. But, when it comes to lubricant less is always more, and wd40 seems to lubricate the right ammount.
Using wd40 leaves my drive chain feeling quick and light.

WACO (December 6, 2012)—Waco police released security photos Thursday of one of the two men wanted in the robbery of a local convenience store during which a clerk was injured in an exchange of gunfire.
At around 9:20 p.m. Sunday, two men, one of whom was armed, entered the Snacks convenience store at 2901 North 18th St.
The 48-year-old clerk, whose name wasn't released, was also armed, however, and he and the robber exchanged gunfire.
Both would-be robbers fled, police said, but the armed man returned to the store and he and the clerk exchanged gunfire for a second time and then began struggling over the weapons.
During the struggle the store clerk was struck several times with a gun in the head and face and suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, police said.
The robber escaped with the clerk's gun and an undisclosed amount of cash.
The clerk was taken to a local hospital.
The armed man was black, bald, about 5-foot-9, weighed about 210 pounds and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and tan pants.
The second man was also black and was short with a thin build. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black shorts, police said.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the man shown in the photos or the robbery to call either Detective Charlotte Matthews at (254) 750-7615 or Waco Crime Stoppers at (254) 753-HELP.
Callers don't have to reveal their identities, police said.

Cats are parasites.
Dogs, by comparison, enjoy a mutually beneficial symbiosis with humans. The dog benefits from the human's technology and problem solving skills while the human benefits from the dog's keen instincts and senses.
Cats use their cuteness and meows to mimic helpless human newborns, tricking their humans into giving them food and affection. In exchange the human gets false sense of reproductive success. They are brood parasites, no different from a baby Cuckoo bird.
I write these things as an enthusiastic cat owner. I love my cats and lavish them with lots of treats and petting. They are my babies and I can't imagine life without them.

Health & Pregnancy
Too Much Pregnancy Weight Gain Raises Child's Obesity Risk
Aug. 4, 2010 -- Women who put on too many pounds during pregnancy are at risk of having a baby with a high birth weight, which may increase the child's risk for long-term obesity, researchers report.
High birth weight is associated with a higher body mass index (BMI) -- a measurement of height and weight -- later in life. However, researchers were not clear whether weight gain during pregnancy contributed to a child's risk of obesity independently of genetics. Earlier research suggests maternal weight is more strongly associated with a child's BMI than paternal weight, indicating that pregnancy, not only genetics, may play a key role in a child's weight.
Researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston and Columbia University in New York looked at multiple single pregnancies in the same mother to assess the effects of maternal weight gain and to exclude the effects of weight gain from genetic components.
The authors found a consistent connection between weight gain during pregnancy and bigger babies. Among their findings reported in the Aug. 5 issue of The Lancet:
- For every kilogram (kg) a mother gained (1 kg = 2.2 lbs), the baby's birth weight increased by 7.35 grams (0.25 oz).
- Compared with infants born to women who gained between 8 kg and 10 kg (17.5 and 22 lbs), infants born to mothers who gained more than 24 kg (52.5 lbs) during pregnancy were about 150 g (5.3 oz) heavier at birth.
- Mothers who gained more than 24 kg during pregnancy were more than twice as likely to deliver a baby weighing 4,000 grams (8 lbs 13 oz) or more, compared with women who gained only 8 kg to 10 kg.
The findings are based on state birth registry data from Michigan and New Jersey. Researchers analyzed information on 513,501 women and their 1,164,750 children born between January 1989 and December 2003. Pregnancies shorter than 37 weeks or more than 41 weeks, women who had diabetes, infants born weighing less than 500 grams or more than 7,000 grams, and anyone missing data for pregnancy weight gain were excluded from the study. The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health.

I have noticed that I do NOT notice the details which others seem to notice without any efforts.
My mind is too occupied in its own thoughts to notice the fine details.
Are there any ways to improve my "observation".
I'm going to give a controversial but scientific answer.
The reason some people are more "observing" than you lies inside the brain. The reason is not that those people simply have "learned" to observe, or that they use certain techniques, but that their brain chemistry is different from yours.
More specifically, how closely you observe the world around you has been linked to norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) levels. With low NE and DA, you are confused and all over the place, unable to direct your attention. With high NE and DA, you are attentive, and can easily focus your mind on all sorts of things going on around you, including small details.
So how can you boost the levels of these neurotransmitters? One way is drugs like amphetamines, Ritalin, Cocaine and so on, but my guess is that's not what you are looking for. A more healthy and natural way to boost your attention is physical exercise, which has been proven to boost brain norepinephrine as well as dopamine and serotonin, so you'll improve not just attention but also energy, motivation, happiness, calmness, and so on. High-intensity exercise such as HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is especially beneficial.
Do not make the extremely common mistake of thinking your mind and your body are somehow separate; they are not. Get a perfect body, and you'll have perfect brain.
Every human being has an observation skill and they can improve it with time. Observation has a feature of daily life make your life easier. In business life, women-men relationships etc.. It is the starting point, most of the time without realizing we did, we decided in the face of some cases of self-judgments. And keen observation requires a clear mind.
There are some side effect for improving your observation;
One of the best skill who has a great observation is, they don't early comments on a situation based a few things and they don't act with prejudice. Observation's most important feature is it's never stop. It's continue end of the situation and step by step improve itself.
Here's some advice;
One good exercise is to use breaks. You can do it everywhere:
Close your eyes.
Ask yourself: What would you see when you open your eyes? Try to make a mental list of as many details as possible. Afterwards you can open your eyes and compare your mental list to the reality.
You could find exercises like An exercise to develop your observational skills that may help shift how you see images or do practices like "Where's Waldo?" as these could be useful for developing the skill assuming that the observation you seek is improvement in visual acuity. This is quite different from assuming you are wanting to improve skills in emotional intelligence in regard to social awareness or relationship management where you are trying to interpret body language cues from people so do beware this question could be interpreted in at least a couple of ways.
An excellent example is the Institute of Anvanced Motorists training (based on Police Roadcraft) where as you drive you continuously narrate risks as you first spot them, their development, and when you are clear of them.
This process, practiced over your training sessions, helps you improve your observation skills, not just in the area of risks to you, but in general as you are consciously having to assess and talk about the important ones.
It helps with all visual observations, not just while you are in a car - I would recommend something like this exercise as a high value to any driver anyway, but it could help you.

The lending company must-know what type of career you have, where you perform as well as in what moment you will be able to return the cash? It's easy and quick; all you have to is actually a checking or family savings with direct deposit. You have employed and have been approved once, the cash will be received by you as soon as the following day. As the loan will still be due on your own payday, you are doing have the option by paying down part of the interest and 1 / 2 of the loan to give it. Assume you are in need of tiny income to cover small resources, and for it you are asked to perform the complete procedure for credit checking.
These are fundamentally a kind of cash loans that are offered for a very short period of time. With the year approaching quickly's end, employing direct paydayloans online to make up for all those holiday extras might not deliver cause to enjoy. And generally when unplanned cases available, it only implies that a significant number of time, but at the time, substantial projects will be wanted by the amount of money. Many people now choose to get their no fee pay day loans. There is a faxless paydayloan a financial amount given for you by a bank that is good, however paperwork is not required for loan approval.
The bucks aid in all these loans is generally around 4000 bucks. You are able to basically remove these black destinations from your own financial report card. A person has arrears, CCJ or bankruptcy these financing program doesn't need to do anything together with your credit statement.
Next, the fund corporation assessments presented information and about the status of your loan demand you are known after your funds' proof. Gone will be the days if you have to undergo background investigations or credit checks. Adding a fee over a creditcard will take less curiosity, however you will still wish to pay-off the amount as quick while you can. Some phony sites could misguide and cheat you if you should be not careful.
Reduction is the better solution to get behind by generating loan payments your statement to pay for income from day one, prevent your funds. You'll be laidback with money which is seemingly tough to give down. quick pay day loans happen to be the delight of the financing endowments marketplace as these are short spanned and simple to fetch. You'll have the money deposited inside your account inside a day or even the next morning as your program gets approved. In order to remove unexpected areas or the immediate prices you have fallen in you got to only look for the pact that comes useful.
Payday loan expenses attention cost that is best. They should also submit the residential proof, income proof etc for your loan. Worrying about how to survive from payday to pay time wanting to fulfill payment deadlines and picking out cost systems for numerous loans for example online fast loans may be demanding. In this way you can ensure that your loan that is no no credit loans online gets cheaper. It truly is likely to get just a few hours to move the amount of money in to your bill, once this can be done! The difficult point about that loan form is the fact that if for whatever reason you fail to repay it after it has been "transformed" the maximum amount of times (legally, 6 instances), you may have your car repossessed.
In case there is online tactic, you fill out the form that is straightforward and after its authorization; resources are transferred within few hours into your consideration. Here is the second most essential requirement to obtain a loan from certain cash advance lenders. And when you implement format that is attached you would need to pledge guarantee to access funds. Jewelry, assets or another precious issue could be pledged as security.

We are in the process of denormalizing a large amount of data for performance reasons. Basically a Query that would normally JOIN over 10 tables is replaced with a Query that has no JOINs, yet all the necessary data is stored/cached alongside in the initial table.
I am a strong advocate of triggers that would help me keep all the data up2date absolutely transparently. There are other decision makers in the company who are against using triggers (for several reasons) and suggest building a VIEW instead in hopes that the VIEWs are already optimized for better data retrieval.
Is this the case in MySQL?

For example, the fact that MacGregor is called the "Choreographer in Residence" of the Royal Ballet" carries the implication that what he does is indeed within currentely accepted limits of what "ballet" means.
By the same token, take McGregor's statement that,
Although this may have been spoken tongue in cheek, it reinforces certain cultural prejudices and even carries a suggestion that the Royal, who has honored McGregor with his appointment, may agree with him.
The Royals dancers, [ ... ] mostly work on classical ballets by dead people
I confess to being ambivalent on this issue. I see rebeccad's position and find it quite persuasive. But I also am sympathetic to leonid's point of view. If I were in London I'd have to go to several performances of Infra before I could make up my mind. GoCoyote suggests that Infra is still a "work in progress." Maybe only time will tell where all this is leading.
How about the rest of you Londoners and Royal-watchers? What do you think?

While the Veteran Services Office at AUM does not determine eligibility for assistance, we do ensure that proper paperwork is completed, certified and filed with the VA so that payment of benefits can begin.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for VA Benefit Recipients
All VA benefit recipients are required to make satisfactory academic progress by maintaining a minimum overall 2.0 GPA on hours attempted at AUM. This measure generally becomes effective when the student has attempted 24 hours at AUM. Students failing to maintain the required GPA will be subject to having their VA benefits terminated.
Registration Cancellation Policy
The AUM Registration Cancellation Policy requires that students pay tuition and fees by the Registration Cancellation Deadline. Re-registration will be permitted only if payments or payment arrangements are made at the time of registration. Students awarded financial aid (federal and state aid, scholarships, third party tuition payment, military assistance, PACT, etc.) for the semester at issue will not be subject to cancellation for that portion of fees covered by financial aid. However, veteran benefits, other than Chapter 31 VA Vocational Rehabilitation and Post 9/11 Chapter 33, are not considered financial aid for this payment policy, so veterans are encouraged to make payments or payment arrangements to prevent course cancellation.
