This is a tool for calculating dice probabilities and outcomes for X-Wing Miniatures by Fantasy Flight Games. The goal of the tool is to aid players in list building, target selection and token spending by helping to develop intuition about the probabilities of various outcomes.
Computing simple dice probabilities by hand is straightforward, but more complex scenarios involving many tokens and multiple attacks become tedious and error-prone even when using a spreadsheet.
Rather than rely on random simulation, this tool calculates probabilities directly via an exhaustive search of all possible outcomes. This runs extremely fast (a couple milliseconds for most realistic cases) and produces accurate and repeatable results.
Source code for the tool is available on Github under the MIT license. Please feel free to browse the code, fork and/or submit issues and pull requests!
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I link or bookmark a specific result?
When you press "Simulate" the address bar will be updated with a link that can be bookmarked or shared to get right back to a given result. This is also a convenient way of comparing results between tabs or windows.
How can I see the numbers?
One a result is simulated, simply hover over (or tap) any bar in the charts to see the probabilities.
Alternatively, some of the forms additionally output a data table which makes it easy to copy the results into an external spreadsheet.
Which effects and triggers are active?
In general, any effect that you enable is considered to be "active". Any conditions outside of tokens (such as being in arc or at a given range) are assumed to be satisfied if you enable the effect.
Since tokens can change over the course of an attack (particularly in multi-attack situations), effects do respect conditions related to tokens. For instance, Juke will only be active if the owner has an evade token.
If a weapon or effect requires spending tokens to enable the attack (for instance, many munitions require the attacker to discard a target lock to fire) do not include those tokens in the simulation. The simulation effectively begins right before the attacker's initial dice roll, so that is the point in which you should set the token state.
What strategies do the attacker and defender employ?
The attacker tries to maximize the number of hits/crits. It will opportunistically prefer crits, but will not greedily "crit chase" by trying to reroll hits into crits.
The defender tries to minimize or entirely avoid taking hits. In cases where there are token spending choices, the defender will prefer to keep tokens that are more useful on defense in case there is a second attack. For instance, if a defender can spend either a focus or evade to fully evade an attack, it will normally prefer to spend the focus and hang onto the evade. While the "optimal" choice depends on additional factors (dice, mods and tokens available to each player), this heuristic works well for the typical situations encountered in X-Wing.
Can you add [some upgrade] to the calculator?
Anything can be added given the proper time and resources. Generally things that aren't yet implemented fall into a couple of categories.
- Things with too many UI complexities or too much context (example: health/shields of the ships involved).
- Things with unclear rules interactions. This includes cases where card combinations aren't possible in X-Wing today (due to lacking specific upgrade slot combinations or faction limitations), or cases that are possible but rarely used and thus have never received needed clarification in the FAQ.
- Rarely used upgrades, particularly in combination with another one of the downsides.
If you want a specific upgrade prioritized, please feel free to upvote or file an issue on Github
1.0 Calculator FAQ
What's the difference between "Basic" and "Advanced" calculators?
Both the basic and advanced calculators use the same underlying simulation. The only difference is in how the simulation parameters are presented in the user interface.
The basic form uses card and ability names directly from the game, so it should be intuitive for most people. The attackers and defenders tokens and upgrade cards are grouped in two separate sections. While it's possible to test out illegal card combinations (the form does nothing to prevent this), you are generally limited to the effects present on the available cards. A few concessions are made for clarity; for instance, the type of attack (single, multiple) is set directly rather than implicitly via upgrade cards (gunner, etc).
The advanced form is a more direct interface to the parameters of the simulation. It can express a superset of the basic form, including a wide variety of options that are not currently possible in the game. Simulation parameters are organized according to where they occur in the timing chart. A few "special effects" still reference card names when it is more concise to do so versus spelling out the underlying effect.
What's the "Multiple Attacks" calculator for?
The multiple attacks or "alpha strike" form also uses the same underlying simulation, but it is organized to model several different attackers all attacking the same defender in sequence. This is useful for determining the probability of a ship being destroyed by an alpha strike before getting to fire, among other things.
The options on the alpha form are somewhat more limited due to UI space/complexity considerations, but most of the common attacks can be modeled using a combination of the options in the dropdown menu together with the available tokens and effect toggles.
Do the attacker and defender play optimally in the 1.0 calculators?
The short answer: in most realistic cases, yes. The longer answer: it depends how you define "optimally".
In most common situations it is possible for the attacker to simultaneously optimize for many different metrics: the maximum expected hits, the minimum probability of missing, and so on. Similarly the defender can avoid or minimize expected damage while spending as few tokens as possible.
- Complex Reasonsing: It is possible to construct situations wherein theoretically "optimal" token spending is very complicated. Recall that the goal of the tool is primarily to give players intuition about various realistic outcomes. While a computer can easily compute all possible outcomes before making decisions, it is not reasonable for a human to efficiently search a possibility space consisting of hundreds or thousands of outcomes before making each decision. Thus for the sake of predictability the tool employs heuristics that are reasonable for a human to emulate.
- Risky Decisions: For instance, if Sunny Boundary with a target lock rolls hit/crit, rerolling the crit in an attempt to get a second hit and trigger her ability increases the likelihood of three hits, but also increases the likelihood of falling back to a single hit. In general players only take additional risks in exceptional circumstances, so the tool also favors safe decisions.
- Rerolling: The tool treats the ability to reroll dice in aggregate; for instance, one upgrade that allows rerolling two dice is treated identically to two separate upgrades each granting a single reroll. This is done primarily for user interface simplicity, but it also increases the efficiency of the computation. In most cases this makes no difference but there are edge cases in which it is slightly better to reroll one set of dice first, then depending on the results decide whether to reroll others.
- One Damage on Hit: Currently the attacker's logic is not fully optimal when using "one damage on hit" weapons with multiple attacks, such as twin laser turrets. This occurs in cases where no token spending is necessary because it would be impossible for the defender to evade. This logic will be improved in the future.
How does C-3P0 work?
If there are any hits or crits, the defender will "guess" with C-3P0 the number of evades indicated. As this is a once per turn ability, this can only happen once in multi-attack sequences.
No attempt is made to deduce optimal values to guess as that normally requires additional context from the game state. It's generally more useful to just try different guesses in various situations and observe the results.
How does Palpatine work?
If there are any dice rolled (on attack) or any hits or crits to cancel (on defense), Palpatine will be used. Palpatine happens right after dice are rolled, before the opponent modifies them. The die that is modified by Palpatine cannot be modified further as per the game rules.
Simple logic based on the passive mods available determines which die to change. No attempt is made to do complex reasoning about potential outcomes of rerolling dice, etc.
How does Crack Shot work?
The logic for the attacker is simple: if crack shot can be used to push extra damage through, it will always be used. If it's not necessary due to the defender having extra evades or effects like "One Damage on Hit", it will not. If Crack Shot is ever used, it will show up in the Expected Token Delta chart.
The presence of Crack Shot also changes defender token spending logic: the defender will attempt to have an extra evade result available, even if that means spending tokens to that end.
In the presence of "One Damage on Hit" the defender will usually not spend anything if it can't entirely avoid the attack. If Crack Shot is present, it will still spend tokens if it can match the uncancelled hits, since even if the attacker then uses Crack Shot to push the one damage through, that is a valuable outcome as it removes Crack Shot from any follow-up attacks.

If you don't like the taste of tap water, try these ideas:
- Many like the taste of cold water better. Keep pitchers or refillable water bottles in the refrigerator.
- Drink water with ice.
- Add lemon, lime, or orange slices.
- Add some sprigs of fresh mint.
- Get a faucet filter.
- Get a pitcher filter.
- Get in the habit of drinking water. Some people find if they drink water regularly they start to like the taste.
Fruit-Infused Water
Fruit-infused water is a good alternative to sugary and chemical-filled soft drinks. They're refreshing, attractive and the touch of natural sweetness may help curb sugar cravings. Check out the suggestions below for inspiration or create your own concoction with your favorite fruits and herbs. You can make any of these drinks with sparkling water to make them bubbly like a soda. You'll need to serve them right away so they won't lose their fizz, rather than letting them infuse in the refrigerator.
The general instructions are to fill a glass or a pitcher with water. Add sliced fruit. If you are making one serving, 4 or 5 slices of fruit should be plenty. If you are making a pitcher, about a cup of sliced fruit per gallon of water is a good ration. Add ice just before serving. Combinations you might like are:

Happy Halloween!
It may seem odd that a support and developement organisation is celebrating Halloween, but we kow how much it means to so many people exploring their gender. There is no one true trans narrative. However. many Trans people make their first steps into expressing their true self on nights like Halloween.
If this is you, today, wondering if you can wear a costume that is actually less of a costume than the gendered clothes you wear each day, perhaps excited, perhaps petrifried, and most likely a combination of so many emotions you cant name them, we have a message for you; You are not alone.
The moment of embracing your identity is not always about one single flash of inspriation, a sudden "lightbulb" which changes everything. It can often mean tentative steps, hiding what they mean, even from onself. For this reason we believe it is important not to condemn gender play, drag kings and queens, and older iterations of gender non conformity.
So, tonight whoever you are, and however you mark Halloween, remember, its OK to Be who you are.

The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia reported on Monday that a contact of a previous case has been confirmed to have Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
The ministry reports that there are currently 12 active cases: three cases have been confirmed in the past three days. This indicates that transmission of the virus is continuing.
The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia reports that a majority of the cases are primary cases, with healthcare-acquired cases being the second leading cause of transmission. Healthcare-acquired cases among staff and patients amounts to 45 percent.
A total of 1,254 cases have been reported in the country since the virus was first reported in 2012, with a reported fatality rate of 43 percent.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that symptoms of the disease typically consist of fever, shortness of breath and a cough. More severe complications including pneumonia and kidney failure are also possible. The CDC states that a majority of those who have died from MERS also suffered an additional or underlying condition including: diabetes, diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys and cancer. It has also been reported individuals with these conditions may be at a higher risk of MERS infection.

text: Hi I'm thinking of getting EA Sports Active 2 for the Wii. However I have it to allow backups to play. I use WiiFlow and all works fine with a USB disk, its on firmware v4.1E. I dont know much about this sort of stuff, but will EA Sports Active require a newer Firmware to the one I have (I notice now its up to v4.3). So will the game play fine (it has accessories etc to play with it so need fully boxed version) on my Wii FW version please? (I also have a PS3, should I buy this version if anyone can comment on what version is best?) cheers

Anger. Lets talk about it. Not the average "my kids are driving me crazy, my husband is being a jerk, my boss is a dick" but real anger. The stuff that makes you see all red. The dark shit. The part of your humanly brain that knows no logic. Today the universe decided to exceed the level of any available medication I could be prescribed. Today my path was crossed with "her". By her I mean the filthy slut that helped destroy what was once my family. And as I sat on the beach today and enjoyed my view, I was drawn to look behind me and there she was. Sitting in a chair, smiling, taking a selfie of her disgusting, overweight, over used self. And for the next few minutes all I saw was red. That inner animal was awakened, the one that was out for blood. All I wanted was revenge! I wanted to see her hurt, physically hurt. Maybe then she would understand what she did to my family. Not to say D was innocent, NOT AT ALL! Fuck him too, six ways to Sunday. But there she was, after a year of torturous Facebook messages she would send to me, after countless insults on her behalf to me, there she was. And all I could think about was how badly I wanted to kill her. Her saving grace today was E. He got me off that beach before I did something incredibly stupid. Satisfying. But stupid. However; in those moments I learned something about myself, or maybe all humans. We are all capable of committing horrible acts. And in my case, who could blame me? She played a part in my family falling apart. What kind of woman knowing destroys a family? What kind of woman tortures someones wife who is so broken already? the answer- Trash. Clearly someone so desperate and lonely that she rather have someones husband part time than to be alone. A sad human being, and why sugar coat it? a whore. And today I found myself at a crossroads, the urge for vengeance was very much present but in brief glimpses so was the knowledge that this act of hurting her would cost me everything I have worked so hard for. The very thing that separates street garbage like her and a woman like myself. Fighting with the darkest parts of yourself is so difficult but as I learned today, its possible. You see, I cant pay for his mistakes. I wont pay for his mistakes. Anger- this is also a stage of grief. And while I continue through my grieving process I am learning more and more about myself. I am learning that I am more important! I am worth more than what has happened to me. I deserve more, I will have more. I cannot be defined by his mistakes or her whoreish actions. I should be defined by who I am today. The person I have become isn't someone I recognize always, but I'm learning to like her more and more everyday. For she is less naive, smarter, tougher, stronger, she is a fighter. She is a survivor because at one point she had no other choice! The cards I was dealt weren't pretty, But I have made the best of them.So today I learned something new about myself, I learned that I have so much anger that I was capable of doing something foolish. I also learned that somewhere down inside I am better than that. So maybe this time I don't take matters into my own hands and hope that karma sorts things out for me. My message to you readers is, don't be like me today. Be stronger, be more logical. I leave you with this:
" Someday, we'll forget the hurt, the reason we cried and who caused us pain. We will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but letting things unfold in their own way and own time. After all, WHAT MATTERS IS NOT THE FIRST, BUT THE LAST CHAPTER OF OUR LIFE WHICH SHOWS HOW WELL WE RAN THE RACE!"
Love you all,

For me, for one I don't need/like the PDA function and actually any other crap other that the ability to run homebrew that was provided by G6. So I was thinking maybe a G6 Lite Lite interface.

Barca Buried, Torch Passes On To Bayern Munich.
Following Bayern Munich 4-0 victory against Barcelona FC in the semi-final of the on-going champions league, Bayern Munich have successfully cemented their status as the growing power in European football.
This will be Barca's worst defeat in Europe since they were beaten by the same scoreline by Dynamo Kiev in 1997, in addition no team has lost the first leg of a European Cup tie by four or more goals and progressed to the next round.
Although the best player in the world, Lionel Messi was on the pitch, sports analyst believe it was lunacy on the side barcelona to attempt to have Messi play the full 90 minutes at the Allianz Arena in Munich after he had managed just two workouts after damaging his right hamstring three weeks ago.
Thomas Müller scored the first goal during the match, Mario Gomez gave Bayern a second goal just after half-time while former Chelsea winger Arjen Robben tormented a desperately vulnerable Barcelona defence, adding a third before Mueller got his second near the end by then Barcelona seemed to be praying for the end, just wanting to get out of Bavaria and hopefully turn things around at its Camp Nou stadium next week. But a four-goal deficit will be almost impossible to erase, making it highly likely now that Bayern will face the Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund winner in the final at Wembley on May 25.
However, even if Messi is fully fit and on fire next Wednesday when Barca will take on Bayern at its camp nou stadium a 4-0 victory is most unlikely as it seems Bayern is the strongest force now. What do you think?
Will Barca ever recover from this agony, what if they are unable to defeat Bayern in the return leg? Share your thoughts and opinion in the comment section below lets read what you have to say…

Elms Moorings
The Elms Retirement Village enjoys its own private stretch of canal bank offering peaceful walks together with private fishing.
The floating pontoon moorings at The Elms Retirement Park make the perfect base for boaters to explore. With superb onsite facilities including electricity hook up, water and pump out sewerage facilities at Torksey Lock, car parking and a fully secure entrance, Elms moorings is the perfect secure facility for your boat. Open to residents of The Elms but also non-residents too.
The Area
The Fossdyke Navigation passes through mostly rural surroundings until it reaches the city of Lincoln. The landscape is mainly flat but offers amazing views of the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, and the local landscapes. Views from the canal include the gothic Lincoln Cathedral and the area of the battle of Lincoln.
The local area is steeped in history with its Roman and Saxon links and there is plenty to see, do and explore in this beautiful heart of rural Lincolnshire.
Things to do
Within the immediate area of Torksey there is a collection of places to eat and drink, including the recently refurbished Hume Arms in the centre of the village, The White Swan on the other side of the Lock or the Wheelhouse Restaurant on the lock side. For a smaller bite to eat and a good English cup of tea, why not try the Tea Rooms at Torksey Lock.
For those who like an afternoon of Golf, Lincoln Golf Club is a short distance from The Elms Moorings. A superb, tree-lined 18- hole parkland golf course with an outstanding reputation and which is renowned for being a 12 month a year course.
Nature walkers and off road cyclists can take advantage of this rural region by navigating the Fossdyke Canal Trail, which joins the National Cycle Route 64 shortly after Burton Waters. Or there is an abundance of local footpaths and organised walks also in the area.

Neve Campbell is heading to the White House.
The "Scream" star has joined the cast of Netflix drama "House of Cards" as a new season regular, Deadline reports.
The actress' character remains under wraps, but critics speculate that season 4 will introduce a new, younger couple to rival Francis (Kevin Spacey) and Claire (Robin Wright) Underwood.
The role is a big coup for Campbell, who shot to fame playing Julia Salinger in 1990s TV series "Party of Five," before landing big screen parts in "Wild Things" and "Panic."
The 41-year-old is also doing an arc on the second season of NBC comedy "Welcome To Sweden."
Season 3 of "House of Cards" ended on a cliffhanger (SPOILER) with Claire walking out on her power-hungry husband as he campaigns for another presidential term.
The next instalment, slated for a 2016 release, will begin filming in Baltimore, Maryland over the US summer.

A sick child and a hospital dash
Have you ever experienced one of 'those' days? The ones where you wake up in the morning and everything seems fine, only for it all to disintegrate the further into the day you travel and by the end of the evening it is total chaos? I have had one of those days today. When I woke up this morning the last thing I expected was to find myself in my hospital's A&E department come 5pm, cradling a poorly little girl – my poorly little girl – on my knee. But that was exactly what happened.

Hope she is on the mend now 🙂 So worrying being a Mummy in that situation. I can relate to having close family on hand when I need them and it makes all the difference xx
Gosh, must have been scary! hope she is in the mend now!
Oh, no! I've been there myself a few times! Inhalers are great as they give them a bit of 'energy' as well as relief. Just be careful with the steroids as they can be a slippery slope! G had 4 courses of them in 8 months, before we took her to a specialist in a bit to end it all. *touches wood* she has not needed one stupid pink pill since (but she is on daily asthma preventative meds). I hope she gets better soon, send her lots of cuddles from me and G x
I have been there and it is so scary. Glad the oxygen helped quickly and that you all got home. Having family nearby is such a godsend isn't it xx
Always scary but thank goodness for family close by and the NHS. We may moan about it (and not want to visit very often) but it's there when we need it. Hope she's on the mend very soon – huge hugs to you all x
Every mothers nightmare. Hope she gets better real soon! x
She is on the mend thankfully, it's awful to see them so poorly
Yes, you're so right. All the doctors and nurses that I saw at my local hospital were really helpful and friendly. Sophia even got a free teddy to take home for being so good. I am very grateful to the NHS!
I do sometimes think about what would be if we still lived in west London away from any family members. It's times like this I am so glad we moved; family really is important in more ways than one
The oxygen certainly made all the difference and thankfully, her breathing has been much better since. I can't say thankyou enough to my in-laws for being there to help
She is getting better now thank goodness. Always scary when things like this happens
Sophia's getting better now. They ruled out asthma straight away but gave her 3 days worth of steroid tablets and an inhaler to make sure her breathing stayed fine. I'm not too worried about the steroids because it's only for 3 days but I'll bear your experience in mind. Thanks for stopping by x

Chris Brown Apologizes To Kendall & Kylie For Dissing Caitlyn Jenner
Kendall and Kylie, he's sorry. Chris Brown apologized to the Jenner girls for calling their dad a 'science project' in an insulting meme, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned. Find out all the details on how Breezy corrected his mistake.
Chris Brown, 26, has apologized to Kendall, 19, and Kylie Jenner, 17, after dissing their father, Caitlyn Jenner, 65, by labeling him a "science project," HollywoodLife.com can EXCLUSIVELY reveal. The R&B singer made the move shortly after sharing an Instagram meme with his followers, which insulted the former Olympian.
"Chris reached out to Kendall and Kylie to apologize, saying he didn't mean to hurt anyone and that it was nothing personal against Caitlyn, who he considers incredibly brave," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "The girls accepted his apology, and everyone is moving on. Kendall and Kylie certainly arent going to hold a grudge and they feel he just made a simple mistake."
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Chris reposted a transphobic meme, which was originally shared by Snoop Dogg, 43, on June 3. It asked why rapper Akon's charity work hasn't been talked about as much as Caitlyn's transition. The meme read: "Shout out to Akon! He is about to supply 600 Africans with solar power. Im really upset that this isnt but that science project bruce jenner is #Society." The post was met with complaints from fans, including Kylie, who slammed him for it. Chris later deleted the meme, realizing he had done harm and hurt his friends, but the damage was already done.
Kendall Jenner 'Disappointed' In Chris Brown For Dissing Caitlyn Jenner
Kendall was so "disappointed" after Chris shared the Instagram meme. She just felt that Chris should've known better, according to a source.
"Kendall was as disappointed as Kylie was when she saw the meme that Chris had shared with his followers," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "Because he's a family friend, Kendall felt that Chris should've been a little more understanding. She thought that he'd let himself and her friends down."
We're happy to hear that Chris has since apologized and they're all moving forward.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are you happy Chris apologized for his mistake? Tell us how you feel!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Now I'm not a fan of any of the "Vacation" movies nor anything from National Lampoon with the exception of Christmas Vacation. It's a silly, family comedy that will have you realizing that no matter what drama unfolds during your holiday celebration it can in no way compare to the many disasters that occur in this film.
It's the story of Clark Griswold, a man that wants nothing more than to give his family the best Christmas ever but due to his perpetual streak of bad luck, the odds are stacked against him.
A series of unfortunate events occur including: the arrival of surprise (uninvited) guests in an old RV, conflict with uptight neighbors, a power outage due to the 25,000 lights Clark has decorated his house with, a too-large Christmas tree with a secret stowaway, an electrocution and a fire. And these are only a few of the disastrous mishaps that Clark is subjected to, the list is quite long.
The movie ends with the arrival of a long awaited Christmas "bonus", a kidnapping and an explosion. You'll just have to watch to see the outrageous events that lead up to the finale. But most of all, Clark realizes that despite all the misfortune that has come his way this holiday season, he was able to achieve his dream of the perfect "Griswold Family Christmas".

If you suffer from back pain, there are a few precautions you can take while still on the ground. Don't lock your knees while you're standing in all those lines; this causes bad posture and puts pressure on the lower back. Bend your knees slightly, and keep your pelvis tucked in. Utilize luggage carts for big checked bags and don't overload yourself with heavy or unwieldy carry-ons—you'll be dragging and hoisting them a lot. If you experience sharp, stabbing back pain or spasms en route, ice is the best stopgap remedy; massaging the feet may also help, as reflexologists say that the instep has correlations to the spine, and working your thumbs up and down the area may ease some back pain.

Late Monday afternoon, exactly 30 days since the last build of Windows 10 was released to Insiders, an updated build was posted to testers on the program's Fast Ring. It just so happens that it was also just 30 days until the General Availability of Windows 10 next month.
Very symmetrical.
You can read about some of the updates in this build on the summary I posted yesterday. You will see the big news on this build is the first desktop release with full Microsoft Edge browsing. As you know Microsoft Edge is the new web browsing platform that is part of Windows 10 - it was formerly known as Project Spartan.
The other interesting note about this build - no known issues. Past builds have been full of these things so it is good to see a build this close to RTM that has moved past beyond having disruptive problems.
Surface Pro 3 users will see some battery life improvement and those of you with Surface 3 wil be able to finally install Windows 10 with this builds updated Cherry Trail drivers.
I have successfully updated one desktop and my HP Stream 7 to the 10158 build without any problems. My test HP Spectre on the other hand had to be reverted to 0074 so it could see the new build in the Fast Ring as 10130 could not detect it. A quick search of Twitter showed that I was not alone in this very issue so hopefully Microsoft will address this when the sun rises on that side of the country.
Keep an eye on the site as there will be a hands on coming later today.

Whether you're looking for a new job or this just happens to be one of your current self-improvement goals, you've come to the right place!

This brings up the fact of criminals total disregard for gun laws. To put it another way, if you want to kill your brother because he has been sleeping with your wife, why would you heed 3 gun laws? Your going to kill someone, some tiny little gun laws wont get in your way. You will to strait ahead after all if you gt caught for murder, a couple illigal gun laws won't seam like such a big deal.
Since guns are so hard to acquire, especially hand guns. The majority of Canadian public does not carry a side arm. Imagine for second if every person in Canada was required to carry anside arm at all times. Criminals would think twice before trying to rape you in that back ally while you are taking a piss. Criminals would have to completely rethink their "plan of attack." No longer can they just barge into a bank holding all for hostage. Now every person in that bank has a side arm, and is willing to use it.
If more people carried weapons, and if our country even let us, then criminals would think again before harming innocents.
Gun control creates safer countries.
Gun control is the most effective way to reduce crime if we done it correctly. Our federal gun control laws are so ineffective because there are too many loopholes. A criminal might not be able to obtain guns in one state. But in another state that is very lenient on gun ownership, he can get guns even without criminal background checks. We need to support stricter federal gun control laws because guns are just totally out of control. For those who are unfit to carry guns, we should disarm them, and work together to provide a safer society for ourselves. If we have stricter gun control laws, we would be able to live in a safe and harmonious society and we definitely have the rights to do so!
I await your response.
The governments tales of lower crime rates and safer cities are merely smoke shields for a bigger issue, that of total control.
==My arguement and rebuttal==
::"My point still stand that if we are required to carry a sidearm at all times, criminals would be very cautious. Crime rates would plummet."::
How do we know this is true. Maybe criminals would become more agressive and in return citizens would be more agressive. This would cause alot of distress on society.
::"If you were a criminal, would you attack someone knowing they and there whole family had sidearms? "::
Maybe not directly! But I doubt this would halt the criminal but rather look for more secluded route to accomplish the fact that he is a criminal and will continue to be.
'Gun control' means the efforts of the government or the authoritarian body to keep a check on the selling-purchasing and using of the guns by the citizens within their jurisdiction area. They encompass the sale, purchase, ownership, usage and the distribution.
The subject of gun control has always created a political and social debate regarding the restriction and availability of guns and firearms. In American politics for instance, gun control has been a controversial issue that has not been easy to manage or control. Gun control is a law that is used in deciding whether a citizen can own a gun or not. It is a law established to ensure that guns are not owned by criminal minded people but by people who are victims or are helpless against crime.
:Pro stated: "The point still remains that criminals are not going to heed these "laws". :
Those people, who are in support of gun control, say that a gun is meant to kill and the less available it is in the society, the safer the society will be, while those against it say that whether guns are restricted or not, it does not change anything because guns do not kill, people do.
Those in support say that gun control will ensure that guns will not fall into the hands of children and teenagers, while those against it argue that with gun control those children and teenagers will not be able to defend themselves in the face of crime because they are not protected.
One of the common arguments for gun control is that it helps to reduce the ability of criminals, juveniles, kidnappers, bandits etc to own or posses a gun, firearms and ammunition. These advocates for gun control argue that the availability of guns can be successfully reduced only by strict federal measures.
Many a time, crime and morality statistics are used when it comes to dealing with the debates on arguments for gun control. For instance the number of murders committed per year, with a gun, by people within the age range of 14-24 years, increased at a rate of 173% from the year 1985 to the year 1993 and later, it went down by around 47% from the year 1993 to the year 1999.
On the contrary, my opponent is a segment of population that does not believe in Government imposing laws over acquisition of gun.
:Pro states,"If we let the government disarm us, whats next?":
What's next is the absence of guns altogether. The fact that there is a gun in a household is also a threat a family member can use it to perpetrate one crime or the other, which is why a lot of people are in support of the implementation of strict federal measures of gun control with penalties if anyone goes against the law. Federal government should insist and ensure that citizens comply with and adhere to those gun control laws, to reduce the rate of gun related deaths and make the society safe for citizens.
::"No longer would we be shrinking behind the police, we would have the capabilities to stand up for ourselves."::
This inclination by my oppoent is with this culture reflected in our movies, television, music and various other creative forms such as art. Which is based upon the theme of the so called 'gun culture'.
Hence, they have been supporting the laws corresponding to the arguments about gun control and have been insisting the government to enforce them more strictly to lessen the chances of gun going into the hands of wrong people or children or young adults, so that the innocent people do not have to bear the brunt of fire-arms.
I do not think my opponnt have given us a real good arguement for why 'gun control' is not needed.
I thank my opponent for this debate. I send it back his way!
"For instance the number of murders committed per year, with a gun, by people within the age range of 14-24 years, increased at a rate of 173% from the year 1985 to the year 1993 and later, it went down by around 47% from the year 1993 to the year 1999."
First of all just a little clarification, what country was this study made in?
"This inclination by my oppoent is with this culture reflected in our movies, television, music and various other creative forms such as art. Which is based upon the theme of the so called 'gun culture'."
If I read correctly, you stated that because of cultural influences I am against gun control. If so, then yes! But it has absolutely nothing to do with the movies i watch, or any other art form. It is based on the beliefs of founding fathers, the people who built our countries. The second amendment clearly states,
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Did you catch that? It is the right of the people to bear arms, for personal defense, and or defense from corrupt leaders. The second amendment is built on these main facts:
:Deterring tyrannical government
:Repelling invasion
:Suppressing insurrection
:Facilitating a natural right of self-defense
:Participating in law enforcement
:Enabling the people to organize a militia system
If the American government changes these key elements in political structure it opens the door to an entirely new and worse evil, tyranny. Total governmental control should be shunned like the plague, they are here to choose were our troops go, make economic decisions, and protect our values. Not rape our basic human rights to self defense by taking away our weapons.
"How do we know this is true. Maybe criminals would become more agressive and in return citizens would be more agressive. This would cause alot of distress on society."
Are you aware that the gun related crime rate in the US is twice that of Israel? Its true, out of 100,000 people, 4.8 will be killed in the us by a gun per year, while in Israel only 2.4 are killed. This is a huge difference! What makes their murder rate so low is conscription. In Israel each man must serve at least on year in the army, during that time even when off duty they must have a fire arm on them at all times. This forces criminals to deter, or like I said before think twice. They half as likely to commit a homicide with a fire arm. By arming what could be future victims, they cease to be victims. They can now stand up for themselves, against an a assailant, or corrupt tyrannical government.
"These advocates for gun control argue that the availability of guns can be successfully reduced only by strict federal measures."
Well thats great! If you want a spineless, easily pushed around public. Statistics clearly say that higher gun rates equal lower gun related crimes.(See my previous comment) With out guns we become a weak and volatile group of individuals who will follow anyone who is in possession of a gun, wether it be the government(Who was used gun control numerous times to control, push around, and kill the public.), or an armed criminal.
The only way for innocents to not bear the brunt of guns, we must arm them. Give them the power to stand up for themselves.
Thanks you for your input on this touchy subject.
I look forward to hearing your response.
My opponent starts off and gives us our rights, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Did you catch that? It is the right of the people to bear arms, for personal defense, and or defense from corrupt leaders. The second amendment is built on these main facts:"
An American citizen's right to own guns is upheld by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. However, many people feel that the amendment is outdated, and that gun control is of utmost importance in an increasingly violent society.
Gun rights activists have staunchly supported the Second Amendment and will continue to do until the government agrees with their position on firearms. Though gun control advocates seem to be unwavering on imposing further firearm laws and regulations, anti gun control factions such as the NRA have proven to become extremely influential and powerful political force to be reckoned with.
It is the government's duty to protect the people and society, and stricter laws have proven to adequately offer for a safer environment. The background checks, must therefore, be conducted to only provide guns to lawful owners. Furthermore, if gun owners registered their weapons, it would more adequately provide law enforcement the necessary information to keep track of firearm purchases and make sure that all sales are legal.
My opponent talked about society being weaker from gun control but I think we see that gun control has lessened our crime rate. These statisitcs rarely accouns for the grwoth on population and the increase in firearms themselves.
While most Americans oppose an outright ban on all handguns, there is considerable support among the public for stricter laws governing firearms. http://partners.nytimes.com...
:"Are you aware that the gun related crime rate in the US is twice that of Israel?":
My opponent here attempts to compare the USA with Israel. There are many differences but the only one we need is the population difference. USA is one of the most populated countries in the world and will be top of any poll or rate.
Americans continue to trend toward holding attitudes that are more in favor of gun rights. While solidly against a ban on handgun possession, Americans are nonetheless about equally likely to say they favor stricter laws on firearm sales as to say these laws should not change.
I will like to conclude that guns laws are needed to protect society not halter it.
I thank my opponent for this debate.

Reasons for voting decision: pro failed to prove a direct link between more guns and violent crimes....though he provided a source, he didnt provide concrete evidence that besides other factors like population size that gun laws is the reason for these results. Also con effectively rebutted pros case. I kind of wish con would have hit a little harder though. Con also actually provided a link to his source. By the way pro id love to debate thisth you, I Being con....Lastly con has better grammar

Wolters Kluwer's $170 million pending acquisition of patient engagement vendor Emmi Solutions—with a price tag of more than 6 times Emmi's annual revenue—brings more tools to aid providers and payers in improving the quality of care while reducing costs.
Wolters Kluwer, which in the past has distributed patient educational leaflets for physicians and insurers to give to patients to better understand their medical conditions and treatments, now can offer online education that more deeply engages patients in their treatment.
That's the view of John Osberg, a merger and acquisition specialist in Informed Partners, a consulting firm. "This is a big deal and opens the gates for Wolters Kluwer to provide online content for the patient," he says. "It helps physicians and payers control the interaction with the patient."
Also See: Why data is a key in driving patient engagement
The high price of the sale validates the increasing importance of the patient as a decision maker, Osberg believes, with consumer-directed healthcare becoming an increasingly significant industry trend.
Wolters Kluwer is a major vendor of clinical and medication decision support software for clinicians; its products include UpToDate, Lexicomp and Medi-Span, among others.
Emmi Solutions sells patient education software for patients to access via television in the hospital or a computing device at home, offering interactive presentations on hundreds of medical conditions and related procedures while also providing informed consent documentation. The education software also can be integrated into information systems or patient portals.
Emmi is a best-of-breed vendor that understands patient behavioral science better than any other company, says Denise Basow, president and CEO of the clinical effectiveness business unit at Wolters Kluwer Health.
While the acquisition deepens Wolters Kluwer's support for patients, it does not mean the company will sell services directly to patients or consumers, the company emphasizes. The focus remains on helping providers succeed in a value-based care environment where payments reflect the quality of care they provide, Basow says.
That's because the industry is changing fast and coming full circle from when the physician was at the center—now, the patient is moving to the center, she adds. "We now have a solution for providers and patients reading off the same playbook, which can foster fewer misunderstandings," she adds. "We're working to truly engage patients. Emmi does this very well."

The Festival of Homiletics is a week-long conference that brings together a wide variety of outstanding preachers and professors of homiletics to inspire a discourse about preaching, worship and culture. Our goal is to engage theologically the practices of preaching and worship, as well as issues related to congregations in the 21st century. Individual preachers are invited to consider various styles and methodologies of preaching in the hopes that they will renew their faith and refresh their spirits through engaging worship, lectures and workshops. Throughout the week we aim to inspire preachers in their roles of proclaiming the gospel.
In its 26th year, the Festival of Homiletics began in 1992 with a gathering of 400 pastors from around the country for the purpose of learning and conversing about preaching in a contemporary context. The Rev. David Howell, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, created the festival as an extension of his preaching journal Lectionary Homiletics.
The Festival's ownership, leadership and planning efforts are now with Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minn. Howell continues to consult in the Festival planning and production process in light of its new team approach. "We continue to demonstrate for people the finest preaching and the finest cutting-edge thinking about preaching, homiletics, church and culture."
"The preaching and lectures: worship was a holy experience and I didn't have to lead, and lectureswere affirming in that one heard that others are going through the same things."
"The variety of high-quality and exceptional speakers. It was like a "greatest hits" album, and Iloved being able to sample and engage with so many different preachers. This may very well havebeen the best conference I have ever attended. Thank you!"
"The most valuable part of the Festival for me was getting to hear the timely thinking of somewonderfully talented preachers. It was an encouragement to be among so many pastors engagedin talking and thinking about ways to address the needs of congregations in our changing andchallenging world today, and to gain insights and inspiration from looking at texts in new ways."
"My well was dry and now my cup runneth over! Great content, the music thoroughly washed overand through me, and the speakers for the most part fed my mind and gave me much to ponder andincorporate into my own preaching. As a lay preacher, I enjoyed feeling included, as well asintroduced to different types of preaching and music. The Ecumenical feel of the conference wasamazing."

Anna once thought about retiring to a small Guatemalan town called Lake Atitlan, where she participated in Mayan spiritual ceremonies. But, when she ended up shoeless, braless and a head almost full of dreadlocks, she knew it was time to come home. It's a good thing she did given fashion is in her bones. Anna was taught how to sew by an older Iraqi woman, which helped her translate that skill into pattern and sample making for local designers. Having prior experience as a buyer, seamstress as well as having her own clothing line, Anna knew it was time to start her own company. It was then that V.Mora was born. V.Mora is a fashion consulting company that helps designers realize that having their own fashion line isn't just a dream, it's a reality. Anna's goal is to help emerging designers from inspiration to manufacture, as well as guidance in starting their own fashion line and growing it into a successful business.
What do you wake up thinking about?
Can I press snooze again?
What's your morning ritual?
Depends on the day but, always lemon cayenne pepper tea and green smoothie. I also meditate or do a light yoga stretching. Working out in the AM is a must to get me on the right track unless it is Sunday when I go to get a coffee and read the New York Times.
How does social media play into your daily life?
It is everywhere, there is no avoiding it. I try to post as I feel inspired and I also have a team that takes care of the business end of things for me.
Are we more connected or disconnected than before?
I think we feel more connected but the connection is not a genuine or deep. Sure, I know what all my high school friends are up to but I have not sat in front of them and had a real conversation or asked them to coffee. Things are faster and less sincere. I still prefer to pick up the phone as anyone who knows me knows.
What is most important to you in life?
My own happiness, if I am stressed or in a bad mood it has a streamline effect of those around me. If I take care of myself I can fully care for others and my business. Perception is the key to happiness and it starts within.
