The companies offer seed derived fromall productionmethods, includ- ing organic, conventional breeding and biotechnology.As in all of agri- culture, the seed industry has adapted and responded to the rapidly changing globalmarket- place, yetASTA, and itsmembers, continue to drive the innovation of tomorrowfor theAmerican seed industry. AM:What are the benefits of belonging? AL: ASTAprovides a strong, effective voice in support of the seed indus- try's interests; informsmembers about research developments, indus- try trends, legislation, regulations, and other issues that can affect seed businesses and their profitability; provides a forumfor sharing ideas, information, opinions and concerns with professionalswho havemutual interests; and provides services and professional development programs specific to the seed industry thatmay not be available fromother trade associations. One unique aspect ofASTAis that each company receives one vote on all associationmatters regardless of size, so this provides an opportunity for eachmember company to participate evenly in the deliberative process. The association also provides numerous opportunities for individ- uals to engage in the decisionmak- ing process through participation in itsmore than 20 issue-focused com- mittees and divisions.

Through our rela- tionshipswith state and regional seed trade associations,ASTAsupports grassroots efforts at a local level. For example,ASTAprovides impact analyses on proposed state seed legislation or has served as a resource in outreach on the impor- tance of intellectual property protec- tion in overseasmarkets. Over the last year,ASTAhas establishedmore formalworking arrangementswith state and regional seed associations so that all efforts are better coordinated, information is shared and the impact is greater for all of theAmerican seed industry. Internationally,ASTAstaff and members are active in several seed associations, fromthe overarching International Seed Federation (ISF) to those specific to a region. Through ISF,ASTAinteractswith the other ISFmembers spread over 70 devel- oped and developing countries, bringing together amajority of the world seed trade and plant breeders' community to an international forumwhere issues of interest to the world seed industry are discussed.

Strange title, aye? In fact this is my day in almost 3 words. Let me share it with you!
First a goodbye: my dearest friend left today our company after almost 9 years of work here. We've known each other at our first working place, back in 2004 and since then we've became friends, lunch-partners, occasionally fishing partners, family related, bi-directional therapists, philosophers and now ex-coworkers. I'll miss him a lot, but I am glad for his new opportunity. Today I will allow myself to hate him!
Today when saying goodbye to him the team thought it would be nice to also say goodbye to me. So I've got a funny t-shirt with probably the only thing that will remain after me in about 6 months: Itsi-Bitsie. This is what I always say when some thing appears to be hard but i am sure they can handle it: "it's itsi-bitsie, go do it".
So, today i did not only say goodbye to my last Mahican, but to the team that was for the past 2 year: MY team.
I am in the process of handing over the team to a bright new girl and i hate handovers. They are the moment when you shit your pants because you know you'll have to explain everything and the bad parts will come out and you'll feel horrible why they are there and you know that in her mind, the new girl will most of the time think: what a mess; because so many times before you thought it yourself.
You start to explain the history and context, you think at the good things, but the messed parts still bother you. And then a question pops up: why are they so bothering only now?
And there are also a lot of answers and I thought of them these past few days when I felt fear and defensiveness coming in, but today I decided to stop. How would I learn better than this? How would I discover my limits and mistakes better than this? Actually this is GREAT! It is great for the project, for the team, for the new team leader and also for me!
So I thought of something: maybe handover and change is the best way to learn about your mistakes.
I'll sleep on this a few days 😉

It's great to give rather than to receive. What a profound saying!!!
Yesterday, I helped my friend to give away 2 pairs of new shoes and a pair of used shoe (Hardly wore more than 5 times) to a single mom. She always asked me to pass her used clothes, bed sheets, curtain and others. Usually, I'll collect from my friends and pass to her.
I apologise for giving her a pair of used shoes (like new) and asked whether can she accepted. She was so happy to receive. Without much saying, she wore the shoes and did cat walk. Yeah! I am so happy that our little effort can bring so much happiness in other's life. How wonderful!!!
We must be gratitude for people who are receiving. Imagine, if no one is willing to receive, you can't share your loving kindness and bring happiness to them. However, the happiest person is the one who give!!! Thank you to those people who give us a chance to bring happiness to them.

Soon following, a guy who towed my automobile along with the two law enforcement officers arrived to me. Around the car storage receipt, it exhibits a small circle on Rear bumper as well as officer wrote down SCRATCHES.
Initial to Critique He was promptly and took astounding care of my Lincoln city auto. Helped me in a very rough time. Incredibly meticulous and quickly economical will definitely simply call him once more
Uncheck the box labeled Never ever make it possible for Internet sites to ask for your Actual physical location if It is previously checked.
I wanted a towing company asap. I rang By the due date Towing at 7am each morning expecting to get a solution device but instead was greeted by Luis, the operator and driver. Immediately after detailing what I was seeking Luis mentioned that he will be there that morning at eight:30am. Residing right here in Miami you hear that a lot from products and services and corporations but no person ever shows up at some time they are saying.
Cease pursuing Renata O. six/16/2017 Went to Miami Beach Paddle Board with a group of pals, we pulled approximately a parking zone following doorway into the business figuring we could park there since the paddle board company experienced a truck from the large amount with their name and emblem parked there! We came back again from our tour and our cars and trucks have been long gone!
When your auto is towed from the tow-way zone, the towing company ought to report this motion to your Miami-Dade Law enforcement Section in half-hour in the tow. You could possibly phone your neighborhood law enforcement station to see the place your motor vehicle is becoming stored and how you can retrieve it.
Extremely practical. Selling price was really acceptable. He explained he would arrive with in thirty min and he did. Desire Everybody was this quick and trusted to manage. I hope I don't require another tow however, if I do I will certainly be phone him all over again!
Simples enviados de satanas, hijos de putas mal paridos que no merecen mas que la muerte mas espantosa que ser humano se pueda imaginar, y no solo la de ellos sino tambien la de sus seres queridos, hijos, putas esposas y perras hijas. Ojala y todo el poder y la maldad del infierno se congreguen para maldecirlos de por vida, que nunca tengan pas y que se muera toda su generacion de perdedores y prostitutas.
Addressing The dearth of industrial zoning she mentioned, "One of the things about our industrial zoning that actually bothers me is that we have to move ahead.
As most of try this out the people, I test to stay away from contacting tow trucks, mostly for the stereotype Usually connected with them. Luis is the entire reverse and was an incredible person that has an inexpensive demand for a little something most people charge far more.
They came to this Commission, about a year along with a fifty percent ago, used to get a location zoning amendment so they source might raise their top double, double their top With this community. The visit Lofts opposed it. We exercised our initially Modification rights to oppose it and so they've embarked upon this campaign to put us out of business and that's really why we're here these days and why these permits haven't been renewed sooner."
Promptly Towing was the best consequence & experienced no complaints about the worth so we named them up & they had been there in forty minutes. $eighty to pick up the truck & fall it off at a local tire store. Many thanks for every little thing Luis, will definitely propose you whenever!
The indicator ought to Exhibit the title and telephone variety of the towing company in addition to the deal with of its storage facility. This should help in the process of recovering your vehicle.
"We shouldn't be place around the barrel," Andrade responded. "We've been in the City, we're fantastic corporate citizens for 30 yrs. There's no have to place us around the barrel. We'll negotiate with the city in very good religion as we often have."

Hi Community,
I have a model that is built on top of a cad layout.
However the cad layout is far in the centre of the frame, with lots of white space all around it.
Everytime i open the frame i have to scroll down and to the right of where the model is.
Is there a function (on the open control of the frame) that I can use to jump to a certain part of the frame everytime i open up a frame?
Thanx in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I guess you mean 2D view?
In this case you can create a method in frame with the following code:
OpenDialog(False) setXYOrigin(600, 500)
Use it in Open Control of the frame.
600, 500 is a desired scrolling position.
If you want to do it in 3D, you can use another code in Open control:
_3D.openWindow F3DconfigureView([49.158, -50.866, 12.537], 63.908, -45.367, .Models.Frame.Frame)
To get a desired position use can use "Copy SimTalk code from Camera Marks button.
Hi Vladimir,
Thank you that really helped.
Yes I was talking about 2D ,but for future reference I now have 3D as well ,so thank you.

Getting burned - resources: SNEWS offers summaries of FDA actions on sunscreen, ingredients and resources
What SNEWS found in our exclusive, in-depth, three-part investigation into the world of sunscreen, FDA oversight, marketing and manufacturing that ran May 26 (part 1), May 28 (part 2) and May 31 (part 3) stunned us: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which oversees over-the-counter drugs including sunscreen, has been unable to pass some of the most basic regulations for 32 years since it first broached the topic of sunscreen. Meanwhile, we are all left confused about what we should know, use, ask or even believe. Forget the risk of early skin aging and wrinkles. The dangers are in the risk of deadly melanoma cancer. Below, we offer some additional information to help in your education to protect your customers and yourself.
What's the FDA up to?
The FDA's proposed rule list includes research, proposals and public meetings for two ingredients (avobenzone and zinc oxide), about the combination of insect repellent with sunscreen (currently not officially allowed or actually overseen), and for UVA protection claims and ratings (no final guidelines). In addition, although not on the list but questioned for health reasons, is the use of oxybenzone and nano-particles (both considered possible health risks). In sum, what the FDA is still looking at:
Avobenzone is an approved active UVA-blocking ingredient, but it breaks down quickly in the sun and in packaging. Sunscreens that have it must have appropriate stabilizing compounds for it to retain effectiveness. It is considered a less-risky UVA blocker, if that is reassuring, but it can burn your eyes if it runs.
Insect repellent/sunscreen combinations leave two government agencies, the FDA and EPA, trying to work together. So far, it hasn't resulted in much we can use. Are we surprised? That means the combo-pack is unapproved. Experts say that if you use as much sunscreen as you should and you reapply sunscreen as often as you should, you'll be infusing your skin with way too much insect repellent.
Nano-particles and their safety are still up in the air since the smaller a compound's particles are, the more the compound may be absorbed by the skin and become a health risk. So far, the risk may only lie in their use in sprays since the particles are more easily absorbed via the lungs. Although there are no final decisions or research on this yet and many are skeptical of any risk, a study out of Australia released in February 2010 indicated that people who use a lot of sunscreen did risk having larger quantities of zinc nano-particles absorbed by the body – and they could remain there for a very long time. But even study researcher and geochemist Brian Gulson told SNEWS in an email interview the amount was "quite tiny," and it was unknown whether it was due to absorption or whether it reflected a reaction of the zinc oxide with the lower pH of the skin. Plus, there is no real evidence about what damage it could cause on cells or the immune system – yet.
Oxybenzone, currently approved and offering some UVA protection, is considered by some to be a hormone disrupter that may cause cell damage. The EWG suggests it be avoided, and many better sunscreen brands have or are phasing it out, while other manufacturers say the claims are exaggerated. It can also be more of a skin and mucous-membrane irritant than others.
UVA protection, i.e. making a sunscreen able to block both the burning UVB rays and the cancer-causing UVA rays (known as broad-spectrum), is not currently overseen to determine if the ingredients, the quantity of ingredients, the labeling or the claims of protection are valid. In 2007, an FDA release noted a rule's effective date was deferred "for future regulatory action because more time was required to review comments from interested parties."
Zinc Oxide is also an approved active ingredient for blocking both UVA and UVB. The proposed rule discusses the level of zinc needed to be able to make broad-spectrum claims and that it would need to pass "yet-to-be-established" UVA testing procedures.
Overall, the FDA estimates there are about 12,000 individual sunscreen SKUs if you count different sizes and packaging. Depending on when – or if – the FDA requires new SPF testing or different labeling, all of these will need relabeling and also new testing. Some will need to be reformulated if they are to stay on the market. The cost to the industry, not to mention to each brand, could be stupendous – and could be one of the reasons inaction has been the only action.
Active ingredients allowed by the FDA for sunscreen
Listed alphabetically by common names, the so-called "actives" on this list are only the individual ingredients. Combinations approved separately are not included. Although there are only 17 actives allowed, the FDA estimates there are more than 2,800 over-the-counter sunscreen products of different formulations, not to mention the estimated 12,000 individual SKUs.
Ingredients will be found listed using a so-called "Drug Facts" label" (see example to the right) on many brands, although since it isn't officially required yet, some may not use it.
Basically, these sunscreen active ingredients in these thousands of products affect the structure and function of the body by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering the harmful rays of the sun to alter the normal physiological response to UV radiation. The current list of 17 is:
Ecamsule (Mexoryl SX) – added in 2006 and only for use by L'Oreal
PABA (p-Aminobenzoic acid)
Padimate O (OD-PABA)
Titanium Dioxide
Trolamine salicylate (Triethanolamine salicylate)
Zinc Oxide
Tinosorb is an ingredient approved for use in other countries but not in the United States It is one that some manufacturers yearn for, noting it is a very effective broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Australian Sunsmart campaign -- Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world due to its fair-skinned residents and the latitude – two of three Australians will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. With a rate that high, the government began this public campaign three decades ago with the motto, "Slip! Slop! Slap!" (slip on sun-protective clothing, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat).
Environmental Working Group – A non-profit advocacy group that is often criticized for its sensational claims and proclamations while also being lauded for the way it pushes the agenda of protection and oversight. Its fourth report on sunscreen was issued May 24, 2010, and immediately gained critics and proponents. However, it did drive many national news agendas to look at the topic of sunscreen. (Its 2009 summary of findings can be accessed here, where you will also find links to other topics.)
EWG Cosmetics Database – The Environmental Working Group runs a searchable consumer database with its recommendations for good and not-so-good sunscreens, which again is oft-criticized since it doesn't do its own testing and won't reveal the exact details of how it analyzes each product. Some manufacturers want to be on the EWG list (any publicity is good, they say), while others are quite pleased not to be on the list. This can be one additional reference but should not be the end-all, be-all for information and buying decisions.

National Cancer Institute of the federal National Institutes of Health
Personal Care Products Council, a trade association and lobbying group representing cosmetics manufacturers, runs several resources: A database called Cosmetics Info discusses ingredients and testing, often with quite a different slant than the Environmental Working Group. It also funds something called the Cosmetic Ingredient Review with the support of the FDA. The website states it is run independently.
Skin Cancer Foundation (For details about its Seal of Recommendation program, click here.)
Important: When reading any report or website, look for who is funding the group, where it makes any additional money, whom it represents, what its political agenda could be and who it works for or with. Some of the above groups may have particular agendas or biases, so reading many information sources and using your own high filter to analyze the information and accept selectively.

Imagine you go to China on a vacation trip. You spend three weeks in the country and fall in love with the traditions, the music, the gastronomy, the millenary culture, and the landscapes. You find services you just can't access in your home nation, but you have to return someday, don't you? Leaving would mean that, if you liked to unblock QQ Music outside of China, you would need to hire a VPN. In this article, we will explain you everything you need to know about the technology and the site.
Music streaming on the go
Wherever we go, we love to take our music with us. Music never abandons the soul, and it is always there for us no matter our mood or mental state. Streaming platforms such as Spotify took the industry to another level, and now, everybody can move around the globe and have their favorite tunes organized and sorted by artist, playlist, album, or other parameters.
The problem with most music streaming platforms powered by online services is that they are geo-restricted, which means that they can only offer its catalogs of songs and themes to specific countries. Even the best and most renowned networks in the field are limited geographically, and that represents a problem because they often achieve worldwide reach.
In the specific case of QQ Music, it is only available in China. That means that, once you leave the country, trying to access would be futile because the service will tell you it can't operate in your current location.
That's why, if you want to unblock QQ Music outside of China, you need to hire the services of a reliable, trustworthy VPN provider. But what exactly is VPN and how can you gain access to them? We will tell you in a bit.
QQ Music: a giant music streaming platform
QQ Music is a freemium music streaming service from China, meaning that it offers some features for free, but the best traits require a monthly subscription. It is owned by Tencent along with two other similar products, and this year it surpassed 700 million users and 120 million paid subscribers.
QQ has become, since its merger with China Music Corporation in 2016, arguably the most relevant option among its peers: it has a 15% share of the country's online music market. QQ Music leverages its name to the audiences in the yearly QQ Music Awards.
According to QQ Music's business model, labels can restrict their content to make it only available to paying subscribers. Among the artists that have implemented the approach are Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift.
There are three plans, or modes, available: QQ Music Free, QQ Music VIP, and QQ Music Luxury. The second option has up to 300 downloadable songs per month, and the third allows up to 500.
The only blemish in an otherwise excellent service is that QQ Music only operates within the Chinese territory. More than a blemish, it is how things work regarding Internet and the availability of content: there are copyright and agreements between the provider and the labels, and they, as a general rule, want the material to be shown only to local audiences.
VPN technology can help you control your music experience
To bypass geo-blocking restrictions and unblock QQ Music outside of China, you need to manipulate your online location. And the easiest and most effective way to do that is hiring the services of a VPN provider.
VPN means Virtual Private Networks. They are online encryption tools that can mask your IP address and all the traffic you generate when you connect to the Internet. To do that, they use protocols that reroute the information to remote servers and send it via a virtually-created tunnel.
VPN technology maintains your data out of the reach of hackers, governmental surveillance, censorship, malware developers, crypto miners, online advertisers, and other potentially dangerous or annoying agents that may interfere with your Internet experience.
However, these apps are highly sought in the market because they can help you unblock all kinds of international sites and services, including QQ Music outside of China. These platforms or web pages can know the area of their visitors by looking at their IP address. Yet, VPN apps can help users hide their real IP number and help them pick another one from a list of available servers and countries. Connecting to a China IP address would mean that all the pages and content that a regular Chinese citizen can enjoy would become available for the VPN customer, no matter where he/she is.

How to unblock QQ Music outside of China
- Carefully select a VPN service provider with servers in China, fast speeds, and reliable encryption and protocols
- Access your chosen VPN's website
- Choose the plan that best suits your needs and pocket
- Sign up for the VPN service, providing a payment method and the personal details that each option asks
- Create a username and a password
- Download and install the VPN app or client on your device
- Sign in to your recently created VPN account with your username and password
- Connect to a Chinese VPN server
- Unblock QQ Music outside of China anytime, anywhere
There aren't lots of VPN service providers with servers in China, and that reunite all the requirements to bypass the Great Firewall. However, TorGuard can provide the best service at an affordable monthly cost of $10.
It has more than 3,000 servers in 55 nations around the world, including Hong Kong. You can unblock QQ Music outside of China and still enjoy fast speeds, AES 256-bit encryption, multiple protocol availability (including OpenVPN,) and all the security features you may need to secure your privacy.
Speaking of privacy, TorGuard's no logging policy more than guarantees that there will be no leaks of your activity that the Chinese content filtering methods may flag. TorGuard also has an excellent customer service that includes a blog, video tutorials, manuals, guides, an FAQ section, and a highly responsive live chat feature.
In conclusion, QQ Music is a fantastic online music provider, arguably the biggest in China and among the most prominent in the world. Chinese people living abroad will want to access it, as will tourists that go to the nation and fall in love with it.
However, QQ Music is mostly blocked in the international scene: it can only be accessed within the Chinese territory. To overcome the geo-restriction barrier and unblock QQ Music outside of China, download the app of a VPN provider and take matters into your own hands, gaining access to the platform from any country you want.

15th anniversary of Leo Messi's debut
Our top documentary looks back at the day of the Argentinian's first team debut in a friendly at the home of FC Porto: 16 November 2003, the day a legend was born
Força Barça
It was the beginning of probably the happiest era that FC Barcelona has ever known. The Messi Era. A before and an after not just in the history of the club, but in the history of football. In the history of sport.
It was 15 years ago today that Leo Messi made his first team debut in a friendly against FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão.
Frank Rijkaard was the manager and he decided to take a number of players from the U19 team to Portugal, including the young Argentinian about whom so much was being said.
Of course, the rest is history.
The beginning of the remarkable story was 16 November 2003, and this Barça TV documentary (in English) tells it through the eyes of the people that lived that true 'history in the making' moment.

Costa Book of the Year: Jewish rescue story The Cut Out Girl wins
A book about a young Jewish girl who was sheltered by the author's grandparents during World War Two has won the Costa Book of the Year award.
Oxford professor Bart van Es picked up the £30,000 prize for The Cut Out Girl.
He traces the story of the Dutch girl who was taken in at the age of nine by van Es's grandparents before her own parents were sent to Auschwitz.
That girl was Lien de Jong, who is now in her mid-80s and attended Tuesday's ceremony in London.
The judges - chaired by BBC News journalist Sophie Raworth - described the book as "sensational and gripping - the hidden gem of the year".
De Jong told BBC Radio 4's Front Row she never realised her story could make such an impact.
"I'm very proud of this result and I never thought it could be a book," she said.
Van Es said: "There are two ways in which it could be a good book to have in the world.
"There's a scary way in which anti-Semitism and extreme nationalism and conspiracy theories are around in a way they weren't 10 years ago. But also another way in which it is quite a healing book."
The Costa Book of the Year was chosen from the winners from five individual categories. The Cut Out Girl won the biography prize, and the other category winners were:
- Novel - Sally Rooney, Normal People
This is the second work of fiction from the 27-year-old Irish author who has taken the literary world by storm.
It follows the on-off relationship between two Irish schoolfriends and won rave reviews when it was published last August. It was named the Waterstone's book of the year and is now being turned into a BBC drama.
- First novel - Stuart Turton, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Travel writer Turton's debut novel is a sci-fi murder mystery that channels Agatha Christie, Groundhog Day and Quantum Leap.
Its main character relives a single day eight times - each time inhabiting a different person's body as he tries to work out who has committed murder in a country house. The TV rights were sold even before it was published last February.
- Poetry - JO Morgan, Assurances
The Scottish poet's sixth book was inspired by his father's work as part of Bomber Command during the Cold War.
It is a single long-form poem told from the perspectives of various characters, including pilots, planes, villagers and even the bombs.
- Children's - Hilary McKay, The Skylarks' War
Clarry and Peter Penrose spend idyllic summers in Cornwall with their charismatic cousin Rupert - until he is sent to fight in World War One.
The story follows Clarry from birth to adulthood and centres on the characters' quests to escape both the shadow of war and the social constraints of the time.
Last year's overall winner was the late poet Helen Dunmore for her final collection, Inside the Wave.

I have not decided no matter if This really is excellent or not. On one particular hand, I'm strolling into battles with screwed up functions and fundamentally stomping all of the enemies very easily; Then again, I'm not spending several hours at any given time throwing rocks amongst bash associates for JP. I've only lost one particular struggle -- the main character accidentally dinged the final enemy which has a sword when swords were not permitted, bought sent to jail, and therefore finished the sport. Baka.
Thanks for your publish! I had been just intending to inquire if people today thought it would be well worth providing my 1d mkiv for this but your put up has answered that issue for me.
P.S. The "automated translation" means in the game is quite ineffective, as you have got to select from an incomplete listing of phrases, along with the menus that Exhibit the phrases are far far too little so they all ellipsize ("Are you presently...").
The "defense" dialog has no indication that it arises from the DivX codec, has the customer application's icon over the taskbar, and once you simply click Alright, the codec phone calls ExitProcess(0) and terminates the application.
About the stills facet of points, Canon has built remarkably few improvements in sensor technological know-how Because the launch of the original 7D, and variants of its sensor even now underpin much of the corporate's lineup.
The rationale is that inline playback spawns a visible status dialog to start with and promptly hides it, so it requires the main target and its default button is Abort... which responds to both equally House and Enter. This will work fantastic Unless of course the window emphasis improvements. Of course This is often lame and I really need to put into practice halt thoroughly for any later release, nonetheless it's amusing the bug worked out this way.
one.five.five makes it possible for audio filters to become plugins, but I have never finished the audio filter SDK yet and i am not sure I like The existing API. For the people of you that would like to experiment with it, there is a new "samplefilter" task within the VirtualDub resource code.
* Fixed broken totally free Area gauge in capture manner. * Set trashed filenames when aiming to established capture file. * Help you save Segmented AVI was using 1 digit rather than two for your segment number. * Video clip capture with out an audio product now works. * Audio compression dialog no more demonstrates incompatible compression formats when it to start with appears. * Extra workaround for "shutdown when completed" task Command choice to do the job beneath Windows 98. * Assignments to string variables now do the job in scripts.
As for landscapes, the 5D Mark III is far superior into the 7D Mark II in that classification. Wherever the 7D Mark II excels is in pace and precision of AF [especially in AI Servo method] and fps, which as well as It can be one.6x crop sensor makes it a great wildlife shooter. For website me, In terms of shifting objects, I utilize the 7D Mark II, With regards to landscapes, I utilize the 5D Mark III.
An individual questioned me recently if complete-scene antialiasing (FSAA) with a 3D card could possibly be used to improve deinterlacing good quality. Sorry, no. The explanation why FSAA enhances Visible excellent is usually that polygon Place has infinite resolution resulting from specific triangle primitives and texture interpolation, and you can constantly increase the standard of triangle edges by sampling more.
There are two main bottlenecks to having VirtualDub running efficiently on AMD64: the compiler isn't going to assist inline assembly, and also the OS does not assistance MMX for sixty four-bit responsibilities. I do know a few of you are going to yell out "use compiler intrinsics," but you should check out this first:
Due to an observant person around the forums, I found one particular basis for Home windows XP Explorer locking AVI documents just after opening its father or mother folder:
I have had the 7D Mark II for about 3 weeks now. I'd upgraded from 60D and there is a large Studying curve. I was considering returning it and heading for that 5D Mark III, but I'm about to keep it. I'm maintaining mainly because its just fast on all areas. I am utilizing Tamron (NON VC) lens and they might be a little dated for your body and I have to promote it or simply just be minor less induce satisfied.
h"" replaced with "#involve "winres.h"" to allow the .rc to compile with no MFC mounted. VC7.one has a newer Platform SDK header established so this needs to be substituted as an alternative:

As with a fermented food like kombucha, slight natural variations are normal and to be expected in a product such as CBD oil because it is made from living plants. Changes in the weather, soil, and water can all impact the biology of the source material. While we verify Certificates of Analysis (and take many other criteria into consideration during our review process), even the most reputable five-star companies have no way to control for every variable in this organic process.
As with supplements, the FDA does not review CBD products before they hit the shelves. At this time, CBD oil quality is not regulated in most states. Only states that have legalized marijuana for adult use have regulated laboratory testing for CBD sold in dispensaries. Currently, these states are Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada, as well as Washington D.C.
Side effects of CBD include sleepiness, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fatigue, malaise, weakness, sleeping problems, and others.[3] It does not have intoxicating effects like those caused by THC, and may have an opposing effect on disordered thinking and anxiety produced by THC.[7][10][11] CBD has been found to interact with a variety of different biological targets, including cannabinoid receptors and other neurotransmitter receptors.[7][12] The mechanism of action of CBD in terms of its psychoactive and therapeutic effects is not fully clear.[7]
A CNN program that featured Charlotte's Web cannabis in 2013 brought increased attention to the use of CBD in the treatment of seizure disorders.[68][69] Since then, 16 states have passed laws to allow the use of CBD products with a doctor's recommendation (instead of a prescription) for treatment of certain medical conditions.[70] This is in addition to the 30 states that have passed comprehensive medical cannabis laws, which allow for the use of cannabis products with no restrictions on THC content.[70] Of these 30 states, eight have legalized the use and sale of cannabis products without requirement for a doctor's recommendation.[70]
You should also keep an eye out for "full-spectrum" oils, which contain not just CBD, but a full range of cannabinoids – including trace amounts of THC. This won't be enough to make you high (and shouldn't even be enough to show up on drug tests), but it will allow you to reap the benefits of not just CBD but the "full spectrum" of cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, producing what some experts have begun calling "the entourage effect."

When it comes to CBD oil, cheaper is most certainly not always better because the production of quality CBD oil just isn't cheap. CO2 extraction utilizes complex equipment and a high level of expertise as opposed to the cheaper and easier chemical extraction processes that can leave residue from toxic solvents like butane, propane, and ethanol in the CBD oil. While the CO2 extraction will generally lead to a higher price tag, it does insure quality, purity, and potency – especially when used to extract CBD oil from hemp that has been organically grown in the United States.

Anyway, the research showed that in mice, CBD was much more effective when used along with other compounds of the cannabis plant, than when it was used by itself. While they haven't yet figured out why exactly this is the case, it's now generally accepted that full-spectrum CBD oil is more effective at treating the majority of medical conditions, than is CBD isolate.
This cbd salve is no lie, as God as my witness the best for aches n pains. I have trouble with my bones especially when it's cold or rainy. I use the cream mostly on my knees or back where i have the most pain and a couple minutes later my pain has subsided DRAMATICALLY!!! I've tried other cbd salves, none even come close to the pain relief this salve brings me. I am grateful to have found this site.
It was previously believed that CBD in its isolated form was more potent and concentrated than full spectrum CBD; however, in 2015, the theory was debunked by a study from the Lautenberg Center for General Tumor Immunology in Jerusalem. In the study, researchers administered full spectrum CBD and CBD isolate to two different groups of mice. When comparing the data of the two groups, the results proved that the group administered with full spectrum CBD were provided with higher levels of relief. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that full spectrum CBD continued to provide relief as the dose increased, while CBD Isolate did not provide the same effect when there was an increase in dosage.
I have/had ovarian/primary peritoneal cancer. I used thc/cbd oil pills I self made from the start. I am supposedly their "poster child". I went thru with chemo and surgery. Oh that horror! But when I tried to tell two seperate doctors, the surgeon was all about it, and my oncologist threw a fit and said it was an anecdote. There are more than 100 studies at the NIH govt website.

If you just don't have the time or inclination to take supplements every day, but you still want to experience the potential benefits of CBD, this Hemp Oil CBD Patch from Pure Ratios could be just what you're looking for. With little fuss or need for specialist know-how or equipment, simply apply a patch to the target area and enjoy a slow-release 40-mg serving of CBD that will last for up to 96 hours.
"CBD increases the circulating levels of your natural endocannabinoids, which, in turn, interact with your cannabinoid receptors," Bonn-Miller says. "CBD has also been shown to interact with serotonin receptors, and that may be part of why it has some beneficial effects on anxiety. It also interacts with some pain receptors, which may be why we're starting to see effects on pain and inflammation."
I worked about a decade for the Colorado State Dept of Health and Environment to modernize process such as the Drinking Water Compliance system. I automated the process of over 1 M certified samples from State Certified Water Samples each MONTH. If you expect it for your water (and many other services) why wouldn't anyone expect it for a product with "CBD" on the label?
This is a hugely beneficial effect of CBD. Free radicals are the culprits when it comes to oxidative damage and inflammation. But CBD's antioxidant properties can help to combat the negative effects of everyday exposure to elements that increase the production of free radicals. These elements include pervasive, but hugely unsurprising, things like:
Remember: Do not ingest CBD topicals. They should be used externally only. If your skin symptoms have appeared suddenly or if they are very strong and painful, you should first consult your physician before using any supplements or salves. Don't use salves on open, bleeding wounds. Also, do not apply CBD topicals if you are pregnant, lactating, or suffering from a serious illness.

On March 28, BMW will announce the X7 in Spartanburg
We should find out all the details next Friday, March 28, when (according to the Wall Street Journal) BMW will officially announce the future production launch of the new X7 that will be built at the U.S. plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The Bavarian company will spend several hundred million dollars to expand the plant in order to build the seven-seat X7, expected on the market in early 2017, and destined to have success especially in the U.S.
The production capacity is currently being expanded to build 350,000 units a year, but it would boost to 400,000 vehicles annually. Recently, CEO Norbert Reithofer has anticipated that BMW was thinking of strengthening the capacity of Spartanburg factory.
The plant already builds the X3, X5 and X6 crossovers, of which roughly half are exported to more than 130 countries. The new X4 goes into production by the end of this year.


text: Email: [email protected] TOMB HUNTER The Adventures of Larra Court Episode 3 Larra's Mongolian Adventure Chapter 8 Jia Li's Ordeal Jia Li rode behind her men. As their leader she felt it was her responsibility to draw fire. As she rode she twisted in her saddle, firing her rifle at her pursuers. Several times she saw an enemy horse or rider fall, but doubted that she had hit the target. She was simply not a very good a shot from the back of a moving horse. Without warning her horse jerked and then stumbled. It collapsed frontward and rolled completely over on its back. As the horse dropped Jia Li was catapulted from the saddle. Flipping in mid air she used the momentum to fall clear of the dead animal, landing on her feet and then rolling forward. Her tremendous athletic and martial arts skills enabled her to bounce to her feet. But all about her were Russian soldiers, most of whom were reining in their mounts. There was no doubt that they had seen her fall. They spurred their mounts toward her, apparently far more interested in capturing her than in going after the rest of her command. For a few seconds she hesitated, unsure of what to do. Then she saw the unmistakable figure of Ivanov riding toward her. His huge form barely seemed to fit his horse. She knew that she could expect no mercy at his hands. Spotting a slight seam in the mass of riders milling about her she headed for it. Just ahead was a deep coulee, heavily lined with bushes and trees. If she could make it there perhaps she would have a slight chance of escape. For a few seconds the gap in the Russian line remained open and then it closed as Ivanov swerved his horse directly into her path. He then rode right at her in a seeming attempt to run her down. Jia Li darted to one side as Ivanov rode at her, timing her move so that he was unable to change direction. Had Ivanov been alone Jia Li might have been able to jump on to him as he galloped past, but two other horsemen flanked him, forcing her to dart out of their way as well. Ivanov yelled some command in Russian that Jia Li did not understand. The Russian horsemen formed a semicircle around her, effectively cutting off her chosen avenue of escape. She looked behind her and noticed a small draw. It offered some sort of protection from cavalry as it was lined with bush and trees. Scrambling on her hands and knees she drove toward it as hard as she could. Once again Russian horsemen cut her off. She was simply not fast enough on foot to beat the mounted men to any objective. Jia Li changed direction again, this time angling off to her right in an attempt to get around the horsemen before they completely surrounded her. In her desperate attempts to escape, it never occurred to her to ask why the Russians did not simply shoot her. She was too preoccupied with trying to stay out from under the horses' hooves. She made it past the first horses and raced up a small hill. Here she found herself among scattered trees where the cavalry could not run her down. If she could just get a few feet farther she would be amongst heavier vegetation and even though it was devoid of leaves, it would make it more difficult for the horsemen to follow her. But now several Russians rode directly across her path. There was no escape that way. She looked around. The few trees served to break up the closing Russians just enough to provide one more escape route. She took it, this time plunging recklessly down the hill heedless of the danger of falling. She burst into the opening in the Russian ranks and scrambled into a narrow coulee strewn with large boulders. The horsemen would not be able to maneuver here. Ivanov and his men followed, forced to a walk by the rough terrain. Jia Li found that she could actually outdistance them, but she was getting tired. Her frenzied scurrying at top speed had left her near the end of her endurance. But she could not afford to slow down lest she be overtaken by the pursuing riders. She looked ahead of her. Perhaps there was somewhere she could hide. She could hear Ivanov and his men close behind her. She had to find someplace to escape them quickly. To her left was the bed of a frozen stream. It was mostly dry now, but if she ran up it she might discover rougher ground where she could find a hiding place. She glanced around. The leading Russians were partly screened off by a leafless grove of willows. Now was her best chance. Her chest heaving from the exertion, she darted up the streambed. Disappointingly, the streambed turned out to offer less shelter than the coulee she had just left. But it was too late to correct her error; Ivanov and his men were already turning into it, hot on her trail. The streambed was now acting as a trap, channeling her in before the advancing horsemen. She turned at right angles to its course and scrambled up the bank. To her dismay she found that there were Russian soldiers already there, awaiting her arrival. Suddenly it dawned upon her. She had not been escaping at all. Ivanov and his men were playing with her, herding her in the direction that they chose. There never had been any chance of escape. She turned to face her pursuers. Better to challenge them on open ground and die an honorable death than to be caught scrambling to escape. She prepared to fight her last battle. Ivanov's men completely encircled her. She turned slowly, trying to anticipate the direction of the attack. When it came, it caught her off guard. A rope thrown from behind settled over her and before she could duck out of it the rope was drawn tight around her legs. Almost immediately, a second rope dropped over her and was pulled tight around her waist. Then a third and fourth rope was looped about her. As the ropes were drawn tight, she was pulled in four different directions, effectively eliminating her mobility. She was essentially helpless. Ivanov dismounted and approached her, dangling a set of handcuffs. But she was not yet ready to concede defeat. As he reached for her left wrist she lashed out at him with all the strength she could muster. Fortunately for Ivanov the ropes that prevented her escape also prevented her from planting her feet well enough to strike hard, but he received a rude shock, being knocked unceremoniously on his rear end by a series of blows to his face. As Ivanov fell two men seized Jia Li from behind, each one restraining one of her arms. She struggled, but was unable to break free. Ivanov struggled to his feet, wiping blood from his bleeding nose. His face was a mask of rage. Jia Li expected him to hit her, but he merely handcuffed her wrists behind her. "You will pay for that and for your treachery, comrade," Ivanov said. The remark was wasted on Jia Li as she spoke very little Russian, but she could guess from his tone that it was menacing. Turning to the men holding her he commanded them to tie her ankles. Then picking her up as if she weighed almost nothing, he slung her across his horse's neck and mounted behind her. For about ten minutes Ivanov and his troop rode on. Jia Li had no idea where she was being taken, but she was certain that she would not like what was about to happen no matter where they went. Ivanov reined in his horse. Picking Jia Li up he slung her across one massive shoulder. From her upside down position Jia Li was able to determine that she was being taken to a small wooden hut. It was not of Mongol design, so she could only assume that it was a building the Russians had constructed. Ivanov kicked open the door of the hut. Inside it was almost completely bare except for an iron stove, a crude table, and a bed made out of planks. Against one wall was a pile of neatly stacked firewood. The hut was lit by a single small window. Ivanov booted the door shut and dumped Jia Li roughly onto the plank bed. Forcing her face down on the crude cot he untied her feet and retied them so that each of her ankles was lashed to one of the legs of the bed, spreading her legs slightly and holding her in a face down position. Having insured that she was not going anywhere Ivanov then turned his attention to the small stove. Within a few minutes he had a roaring fire going. "That should make us a little more comfortable," he said. Jia Li's blank look finally got through to Ivanov that she did not understand any Russian, and so he switched to Mandarin, which he spoke only poorly. He knew enough of the language, however, to communicate his meaning. "You have caused me a great deal of trouble, comrade," he said. "I mean to make you pay for it and have a little fun at the same time." Jia Li shivered. The man's menacing tone was unmistakable. She tested her bonds, but the handcuffs had been cinched tightly about her wrists. There was no chance of getting them off without a key. Similarly, each ankle was tightly secured to the bottom legs of the bed. She could move them only slightly. Ivanov was watching her intently. "Struggle all you like, Tigerlily," he said, inventing a name for her. "There is no chance of escape." From corner of the room Ivanov picked up a moth-eaten pillow. Crossing over to the bed he lifted Jia Li at the waist and placed the pillow under her pelvis so that her pert derriere was slightly elevated. Jia Li felt her gut clenching in fear. "Now let's see what that shapely ass looks like," said Ivanov. As he spoke he pulled down her quilted pants. The cold air hit her buttocks. Involuntarily Jia Li tightened her tiny backside. "Very nice. Very nice," the Russian gloated. Jia Li looked up at Ivanov. He was slowly removing his heavy leather belt from his pants. Even though she knew it was hopeless Jia Li attempted to pull her ankles free of the ropes that held them. "This is repayment for striking me. I will get around to punishing you for your betrayal later." Ivanov doubled up his belt. Swinging it high over his head he brought it down on Jia Li's raised backside with a tremendous crack. Thwack! The sound resounded through the tiny hut. "AAHHH!!" The blow was so surprisingly painful that the young Chinese girl cried out without thinking. Thwack! The leather came down again. "AAAHHH!! NO!!" Jia Li cried. "Save your breath, you'll need it," taunted Ivanov. "I'm just warming up." Thwack! The belt delivered a third blow, and then a fourth, and then a fifth. Each time Jia Li's protests became louder and more prolonged. "AAHHH!! OOOHHHH!! STOP!! STOP!!" She cried and pleaded with him, but the merciless beating continued for another 15 strokes. By the time Ivanov had finished Jia Li was shrieking almost continually. The pain of each blow lasted long after each impact. Her tender rear was crisscrossed with raised welts. In several places her skin had been broken and small rivulets of blood ran across her blistered backside and onto the bed. Ivanov tossed the belt onto the floor. Jia Li's cries subsided into weeping. Taking out his knife, he cut through the quilting of her pants and jacket, and tore the ruined garment from her shaking body. She was now completely nude and wide-open to any further violations he might want to commit. Ivanov pulled off her boots and untied her ankles from the bed legs. Grasping her left ankle he bent her leg upward so that he could fasten it to her handcuffed wrists. He then repeated the operation with her right leg. This arched Jia Li's back, accentuating her perfect breasts. It was considerably warmer in the hut now. The heat from the stove had steadily warmed it during her beating and Ivanov stripped down, removing all of his clothes. Upon seeing Ivanov's huge phallus, Jia Li could not suppress a whimper of fear. Ivanov laughed. "If you think it is scary now, wait until it gets angry." Jia Li blanched as she saw the huge member begin to rise as he salivated over her gorgeous body. Ivanov grabbed Jia Li's flowing hair, and pulled her to her knees. She let out a howl at the pain in her scalp. "I'll hurt you more than you can imagine if you don't cooperate," Ivanov said. "Do you understand?" He punctuated his question by slapping Jia Li hard across her face. She let out another scream and rapidly nodded her head. "Just make sure that you remember who is in control," he said, grabbing one of her firm breasts in each hand. Then he gave her bosom a savage massage, squeezing down brutally on each breast until she howled with pain. "AAGGHH," she cried. "PLEASE STOP, I UNDERSTAND!" Ivanov reached up to her hair again and parted her fine silky tresses, taking a hank of hair in each hand. He then pulled her head back hard, further arching her back and stretching her neck back. As he did so he stepped so close to her that his now erect penis bumped against her chin. "Now, little one, I want you to take me in your mouth." "NO! NO!" Jia Li protested. She had never even seen an erect penis before and the thought of having one in her mouth filled her with revulsion. "Have it your way," said Ivanov. He released her hair and picked up his belt again. "NO! NOT AGAIN," Jia Li begged. Ivanov slapped the belt into the palm of his hand. "Then what's it to be?" he asked. "The belt or your mouth?" Jia Li was almost nauseated at the thought of taking Ivanov's huge phallus into her mouth, but the choice presented to her forced her compliance. "I…I'll do it," she said with a sob. "That's more like it, cooperation!" exulted Ivanov. He dropped his belt again and pulled her head back once more. Jia Li reluctantly opened her mouth. "You don't just swallow it, Tigerlily, you give it a kiss first." "I… I… can't," Jia Li wailed. Ivanov slapped her face hard giving her both a forehand backhand smack. "I'm getting tired of fooling around," he said. "It's time you did as you were told." Jia Li swallowed blood. The blows had torn the inside of her mouth. Hesitatingly, she formed her bruised lips into the shape of a kiss. Ivanov shoved his massive phallus against her unwilling lips and rubbed it back and forth across her mouth. "Kiss it harder," he commanded. Thoroughly cowed, Jia Li complied, fighting back her nausea at the disgusting act. "Now wrap your lips around it," Ivanov instructed. Jia Li took the tip of the huge penis into her mouth. "Now lick it." Jia Li almost gagged. She could hardly believe what she was being forced to do. She was completely humiliated. But she dared not resist. Her reddened backside still throbbed painfully from her flogging, and so she submitted to each of Ivanov's demands. Before long she was sucking mightily on the end of his engorged member while he groaned in ecstasy. Holding her head so that she could not pull away he slowly forced more and more of his penis into her mouth. Eventually she was forced to stretch her small jaw to the maximum to accommodate his bulk. Then, Ivanov began to thrust slowly in and out of her mouth, as if he was engaging in an act of intercourse. Tears streaming down her face, Jia Li had no choice but to endure this complete degradation. As he penetrated deeper and deeper she found it more and more difficult to breathe. Ivanov himself seemed to be experiencing breathing difficulty. His breath came in gasps as his sexual excitement increased. Finally he could stand it no more. He withdrew from Jia Li's mouth just before he reached orgasm, allowing his ardor to cool. He did not want to ejaculate just yet. "That was fantastic, Tigerlily," he exclaimed, "but now I want to sample your cunt." As he spoke, he pushed Jia Li down on the hard bed and forced himself between her knees. "NO! NO! NOOO!" Jia Li cried. Ignoring her protests, Ivanov mounted her. There were no preliminaries to the rape, he just spread her legs apart and shoved his dripping phallus into her open vagina. It was a very tight fit. Jia Li had never had a man before and her virgin vagina was incredibly tight. It took all of Ivanov's weight and strength to penetrate even a short distance. "AAAAAGGHHH!!" Jia Li shrieked. The pain of the rape was unbelievable. It felt as if she was being torn open. Ivanov grunted with the effort. The Chinese bitch was much tighter than the English slut he had taken in his torture chamber. He thrust with all his might and penetrated a few more inches. "Incredible!" he thought. He had never had a woman like her. Maybe he would keep her after his men had had a little fun with her. In the meantime… He thrust in again. He was rewarded by another scream from the writhing Chinese girl. "God, she was tight!" It was going to take a lot of work to take this bitch. But it was going to be a lot of fun. Jia Li did everything in her limited power to fight off the huge Russian. The pain of his penetration was so great that she almost fainted. It felt like a small tree was being pushed into her. With a cry of relief, she felt Ivanov withdraw, but her relief was short lived as the massive Russian began to assault her using short sharp strokes, penetrating her a few millimeters at a time. "Ohh, Tigerlily," Ivanov groaned, "you are wonderful," His tightly held shaft was throbbing with pleasure. His excitement rose as he buried it deeper and deeper into the thrashing girl. He had now invaded her to a depth of six inches and her screams rang in his ears. "I should have gagged you, you noisy bitch," he said. But he was too busy to attend to that now. Placing his huge hand over her mouth, he stifled her screams as he pushed still deeper into her. He looked into Jia Li's dark, beautiful eyes as he ravished her. She stared back helplessly, her eyes flooding with tears as she struggled to survive the ordeal of forced sex. He had been raping her for at least fifteen minutes now, and did not seem close to finished. Each time she thought that Ivanov was about to peak, he slowed his pace, drawing out the experience. He intended to bury all of his massive rod within her. And slowly but surely he was achieving that end. He was now almost fully into her and had penetrated to her cervix. Jia Li's tight vagina had been forced open as far as it would go without tearing. "UNNNGGGHHH!!" A muffled cry came from under Ulanov's hand as he drove in another inch. Ulanov felt her body tense incredibly under him as he tried to push home his enormous rod, and then suddenly she went completely limp. Jia Li had fainted. "Damn Bitch!" Ulanov swore. Now she wouldn't feel a thing. Cursing again he finished her anyway, entering even further before ejaculating into her. Lifting himself from her inert body, he dressed himself and went outside. "Bring her out here," he said gesturing toward the cabin Three men went into the cabin and emerged with Jia Li's limp form, carrying her face down. Ulanov tossed one of the men a key. "Cuff her hands in front." Jia Li's body was tossed onto the snowy ground as the men readjusted her handcuffs. The cold snow revived her, but she was too exhausted to fight back. Ulanov tied a rope to the handcuffs and then ordered one of his men to toss the rope over the branch of a nearly by tree. She was then hoisted up by the rope so that she was suspended about a foot off the ground. Next Ulanov tied a rope to each of her ankles and fastened the ropes to small trees on either side of her, so that her legs were spread apart. "Alright," Ulanov said to his men, "take her." The Russian soldiers, already excited by the spectacle of Jia Li's naked body, surged around her, jostling for position. It was, of course, the largest and strongest men that managed to have the first shot at her. Shivering in the frigid air, and still dazed by her experience with Ulanov, Jia Li slowly came to realize the she faced a situation that was every bit as bad if not worse than her session with Ulanov. This time she faced a gang rape by at least seventy men. Although the ropes around her ankles had drawn her legs apart, there was some slack in them so that her body could be raised and lowered a few inches. Ulanov had planned it that way, and the first Russian soldier took Jia Li exactly the way he had intended. Dropping his pants the soldier, a huge man, standing well over six feet tall, lifted her and lowered her quivering body onto to his erect phallus. He did not try to penetrate her using his own muscles, but instead let Jia Li's own body weight slowly impale her upon his huge organ. "NO!" Jia Li cried out. Exerting her remaining strength, she used her arms to raise her body so that she was suspended just above the Russian's engorged shaft. The Russian did not try to pull her down, but rather placed his arms about her, so that when she was forced through sheer exhaustion to relax her arms she would lower herself right onto his expectant penis. Jia Li strained to hold her body weight. She was not shivering any more, but perspiring profusely from the strain and fear of her impending rape. Slowly, she felt her overstrained muscles relaxing. A millimeter at a time she was gradually lowering herself onto his rigid rod. A low cry escaped her lips as she felt the glans of the waiting penis begin to penetrate her vagina. With renewed strength, she managed to raise her exhausted body once again, only to find her overstrained muscles giving out. "AAHHHAA!!" With a cry of rage and frustration, she felt the massive erection impale her ravaged vagina. Already torn and sore from Ulanov's rape, her swollen flesh found the experience excruciatingly painful. Once again, she found the temporary strength to raise herself, but it was the last time. With a shriek of agony, she gave up and impaled herself fully upon the Russian soldier's penis. Ignoring her screams the Russian soldier gripped her tightly, and raped her thoroughly. Again and again he pumped into her before finally ejaculating. Then it was the turn of the next man. This time Jia Li was too worn out to offer any resistance; she just hung there while he took her. And so it went, as the entire company began to work its way through her. Jia Li screamed herself hoarse, and waited for the end. When it finally came, she was almost unconscious. Ulanov ordered her to be taken down, but he was not through with her yet. He wanted to give her one final lesson. Larra wheeled her horse around. "We must go back!" she shouted at Jia Li's men. "Jia Li is not here!" The remaining members of Jia Li's command simply looked at her. "We must go back," Larra repeated. "We can't leave Jia Li to the Russians. She might still be alive." This time the men simply shook their heads. Several of them turned their horses and made as if to ride off. Spurring her horse, Larra rode after them. "At least give us a few weapons so we can make the attempt," she said. "You don't have to come, but please let us try." For a few long seconds the men just looked at her, and then one of them nodded. He handed his rifle to Larra, Another man rode up and gave Tabin his rifle, and a bandoleer of cartridges. "You try then," said the first man, " and good luck." With that he spurred his horse and rode off rapidly followed by the rest of what had been Jia Li's escort. Larra watched them go and shook her head slowly. She couldn't really blame them. The odds were certainly not in their favor. She glanced at Tabin. He smiled. "Let's go," he said, "we might be lucky." They rode back the way they had come, but did not follow a direct path to the place where they had last seen the Russians. Instead they rode in an arc so as to skirt any Russians who might still be on their trail. They stuck to the ravines and valleys avoiding hilltops as much as possible. Jia Li was most likely dead, but if she was a prisoner, they certainly did not want to join her. Jia Li's high-pitched screams helped them zero in on her location. Larra wept when she heard the sound, she knew exactly what was happening. But although the tears flowed, she kept her composure. By the time they were very close, she was in complete control. Tabin took command. He had organized many an ambush. "I will approach from this direction," he said, indicating the way they had been going. "You circle round to the other side. I believe the Russians are too occupied to be keeping careful watch. I will give you ten minutes and then I will begin shooting." Larra nodded. There was no need for her to say anything. Hunching low over her horse's neck, she rode around the back of a hill separating her from the sound of Jia Li's screams. "Poor Jia Li," she thought. "It's my fault she got caught. She was only trying to help me." Reaching the other side of the hill, she dismounted and ran through a small wooded ravine. She was very close now to the sound of the screaming girl. Getting on her hands and knees, she crawled up the slope of the ravine and wormed her way through a stand of willows. Pushing her way carefully through the bare branches she raised her head enough to see what was going on. What she saw filled her with disgust and rage. The young Asian girl was being bent face down over a fallen tree. Her hands were held by one man and her lithe strong legs were being spread by two more. Behind her stood Ulanov. He had dropped his pants and was preparing to perform anal rape. Larra was a little too far away to hear any words, but she could distinctly hear Jia Li's anguished sobs. Carefully she flicked off the safety on her rifle and waited for Tabin to start. Ulanov stood over his helpless victim. He was fully erect once again. "All right, Tigerlily," he jibed, "time to loosen up that tight little ass of yours." Jia Li was too drained to struggle. She knew that she faced a third ordeal that would be every bit as painful and degrading as the first two, but there was absolutely nothing she could do to stop it. Ulanov stepped up to Jia Li's defenseless backside. He began to lean forward so that he could part her buttocks when he experienced a rending, paralyzing pain. With a horrible scream, he lurched backwards, clutching at his penis. To his horror he found himself holding the severed half of it in his hands. The sound of a shot resounded in his ears and he came to the frightening realization that he had been shot. Blood spurted in a wide arc from the terrible wound. Struggling to his feet, he attempted to seek shelter, but the same bullet that had torn his sex organ apart had penetrated his abdomen and shattered his lower spine. A terrible paralysis prevented his legs from moving, and he collapsed on the ground, writhing in anguish. Larra readied herself for her first shot, training her sights on Ulanov. She would not allow him to molest Jia Li any further. The sound of Tabin's first shot rang out and she saw Ulanov fall to the ground. He had taken her revenge for her. Disappointed, Larra held her fire. She and Tabin were not in a competition. She would have plenty of targets later. Tabin shot quickly and accurately. So quickly and accurately that the panicky Russian soldiers believed that they were being fired upon by several marksmen. Tabin was a master at staging an ambush. He shot and then moved, and then shot again, constantly changing his position. It gave his victims the illusion that they were being attacked by a much larger force. Larra continued to hold her fire. It was not yet time. By now, the Russian soldiers had recovered from their shock and were beginning to return fire. But without Ulanov's leadership, their fire was sporadic and uncoordinated. They sprayed the countryside in Tabin's general direction without having any real effect. He continued to change his position and shoot at any exposed target. His shots seldom missed if he was given anything to shoot at. Tabin's deadly shooting forced the Russians to ground. They threw themselves behind any solid object that provided cover. Directly in front of Larra a dozen men lay hidden behind a slight rise in the ground. They were safe from Tabin, but totally exposed to Larra. Remembering Tabin's teaching Larra drew a bead on the Russian soldier farthest to the rear of the others. She did not have to worry about timing her shots, the Russians were throwing so much lead back at Tabin that there was no chance that Larra's single shot would be heard. Larra squeezed off her shot and hit the first Russian in the back of the head. She then switched to the Russian who was next closest to her. By picking her targets in this way she could shoot each Russian without alerting the others that they were under fire. It was a trick that she had learned from Tabin, and it was highly effective. One after the other Larra took out each of the Russians. Not a single one of the soldiers realized that he was under fire until her bullet tore through his skull. Larra had no more targets in front of her. Squirming forward on her belly, she moved out of the willow grove to the spot that was occupied by the dead bodies of the soldiers she had killed. She was still uphill of most of the Russians, and once she had gained the rise in the ground she was presented with several more targets. She took these out in the same way. By now, the Russians realized that fire was coming at them from more than one direction. Leaderless, and with many of their number dead, the Russians collapsed, scattering in all directions. Larra and Tabin blazed away, taking down a few more of the Russians as they broke from their cover. They had achieved a complete route. Those soldiers that could mounted their horses and rode off as fast as possible. The others fled on foot, throwing away their weapons in order to run faster. Within a few seconds there were no more targets, leaving Tabin and Larra masters of the battlefield. Larra and Tabin rose from their hiding places. Carefully they closed in on Ivanov's moaning form. He was the only one of the Russians that had been wounded. As they approached, Ivanov began to beg for mercy. "Please don't kill me! Please! No!" He tried to struggle to his feet, but with part of his backbone shot through, he was unable to move his legs. One hand still clutched his ruined penis and the other attempted to stop the flow of blood from his abdominal wound. "Give us the key to the handcuffs," ordered Larra, "and we will think about it." Weeping in agony and fear, Ivanov groped in his jacket pocket and produced the key. Quickly, Larra unlocked the handcuffs and lay Jia Li on the ground. The girl did not seem to be conscious and her body was very cold. She had been hanging in the frigid below freezing air for some two hours. "We have to get her warm quickly," said Larra. Tabin picked the unconscious girl up and carried her over to the hut where Ivanov had raped her. Inside the heat from the stove had not yet completely dissipated and it still contained a few hot coals. Within seconds, Tabin had blown these to life and fed more wood into the stove. In the meantime Larra had dressed Jia Li in some warm clothing taken from one of the dead Russian soldiers. She also covered her with blankets taken from the bedrolls that were fastened to the saddles of the Russian horses that had not run away during the battle. While Larra tended to Jia Li, Tabin went outside to keep watch. There was always the chance that some of the Russians might return. Outside Tabin found that Ivanov had attempted to crawl away, but he had not gotten far before his injured body had given out. He lay in a pool of blood, moaning in pain. Tabin crossed over to him. "Don't shoot me!" Ivanov begged. Tabin considered for a few seconds and then decided that if Ivanov lived, he would be punished worse than if he was put to death. A quick sweep of the horizon located no Russian soldiers. By now the sun was low in the sky and it was getting colder. The frigid temperatures of night were not long off. Any soldiers out in the wilds without shelter would be in severe difficulty. Still, if they stayed in the hut, they would be vulnerable to attack by any soldiers who did come back. It would be much better if they left the area as soon as Jia Li was able to travel. Tabin kept watch until Larra came out. "She is sleeping, but I don't think it would be wise to stay here long," said Larra echoing Tabin's thoughts. He nodded. "I'll keep watch, you look after the girl." Larra went back inside. The temperature in the hut was now quite high. Larra had piled a huge supply of fuel onto the fire. She checked Jia Li's temperature. The girl seemed quite warm now. In a short time it would be safe to move her. She went outside. "What about him?" she said looking at Ivanov. "His spine is severed, he has an abdominal wound, and he is missing half his penis. I think we should just leave him." Larra nodded. They had had their revenge. She went back to Jia Li. Inside the hut, the girl was stirring. As she awoke, she moaned, reliving some of her unfortunate experience. Larra sat on the cot next to her. Jia Li opened her eyes. At first she just stared around, uncomprehendingly, but then she saw Larra. "It's all right," said Larra, "the Russians have gone." Jia Li started to weep. Larra held her tight. "You saved me and I saved you. But now we have to leave. There may be Russians still around. Can you move?" Jia Li struggled up. "I…I think so," she said faintly. Larra helped Jia Li dress. In a few minutes the young woman was ready, if still a little unsteady. Outside, Tabin had the horses ready. They mounted quickly and were off. They did not ride very far. Larra was quite worn out from her experiences from the last few days, and Jia Li was in no shape to ride at all. They simply put a few miles between themselves and the site of the battle and then camped for the night. The next day they would try to put more distance between themselves and the Russian base.

|Re: Setting up Allura with an existing gitolite repository
|Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:07:45 GMT
I haven't done it before (or heard of anyone using them together) but it should be possible since Allura runs separately from the actual git service. Integrating them together then, is where you'll have to do some configuration/customization. https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/scm_host.html covers how to set it up with "plain" git and hopefully provides enough pointers that you can translate to work with gitolite. In short, the main points of integration are filesystem location (so Allura can show the repos, and make new repos), and users & permissions. If you have success or any questions, do share! -Dave On 2/12/15 2:22 PM, Philip Tait wrote: > Does anyone have any guidance on this?
