900 EP sucks for bonus crates … I hope they reduce in the future, but on the bright side the samples are awesome and the bonus crates have 5 draws which is really nice.
Which skins do you use?
The only one that I am interested in now is the Tog frags...
The TXs were replaced with buses in my loadouts
The Fangs are slower to cook and take more space than the HWKs for the same damage
The Drabatans I only use to fill 4 free spots in SC fills....
I am curious to see how players are using some of these units.
I use TX from two factories, wagons from the third when attacking dev bases.
The fangs are only slower if you leveled them past the sweet spot. They kill most things at level 4 with a cook time of only 12 minutes. Sometimes it takes two hwk to kill what one fang will kill. Granted this means I am not interested in more frags for them.
The drabs are a staple in wars, especially no-op.
Agree. My loadout is the same for my Imperial and Rebel Prestige. Because the abusive amount of EP I'm sitting out both bases for the rest of the Event and playing only with my HQ 8, HQ 9 and my two HQ 6.
I don't have the Wookie Wagon for my Rebel Prestige and have the Imperial Truck for my Imperial Prestige only level 2, but I don't use it. My 3 factories are building tanks for TXs (I have the skins level 8 for both Prestige). I deploy 1 gamo or Ithorian/Kubaz to distract turrets and drop TXs right on them, and Jumps/Jets to clean around.
My starships is always half of Ties/Xs with Level 3 Tie Brute/U Wing skins, and Striker/Fang level 6, and with one shot they can blow every troop around. I like to drop Fang/Striker over SC when SC troops start to dance around it and kill every one -- if aren't jets/jumps of course. I will keep them at level 6 due to their 16 min of cooking time.
Note: because of high cooking time and huge amount of frags, the Tie Striker/Fang Fighters could be the only starships able to kill fliers -- maybe they release a ship able to do this in the future.
I have Security Droid and Drabatan maxed out but don't use them since I was HQ 7 when they were released and I could unlock both in the first Rogue One Event. In that time, I used to put a Drabatan and the midlle of a bunch of heavies with 1-2 medics and sit and watch they clean an entire base. Good times before the Jet/Jump epidemic.

Over the last just before lasers, tattoo design extraction was actually ineffective and generally left behind unappealing frightening. The only way of eliminating tattoos that operated was to get rid of the skin that the designs got on laser tattoo removal long island .
Luckily with growths in laser device innovation, tattoos may now be cleared away permanently as well as successfully leaving behind the skin layer healthy as well as mark totally free. A terrific alleviation for any type of one that ended up seeming like an Eastern Yakuza after a heavy nights drinking along with some less than preferable close friends.
The way laser device tattoo elimination operates is a focused rhythm of light coming from a laser device ray of light go through the skin over the tattoo design and also are actually soaked up by the pigment in the tattoo. The pigment is broken into parts tiny enough to become eliminated typically due to the body's immune system.
Black and also blue tattoos absorb electricity coming from all wavelengths so they are actually the most convenient different colors to take out while green as well as yellow designs are the most complicated to get rid of. The other aspects including the intensity of the ink, the amount of ink used and the grow older of the design will definitely additionally impact exactly how effortless the tattoo design is to remove.
Treatment ordinarily simply takes a few minutes however depending the difficulty in getting rid of the tattoo design, a variety of procedures will definitely be actually essential. A minimum of 3 full weeks between sessions is actually required to make it possible for the physical body's immune system to clear away the malfunctioned pigment and for the skin layer recover coming from the previous treatment.
The lasers made use of in design elimination are actually not your normal green laser device reminders thus do not attempt any kind of at home design extraction. The lasers made use of are actually Q shifted laser devices that give off quite fast pulsed higher electricity beams. The three sorts of lasers commonly utilized for laser device tattoo extraction are
a Q-switched Dark red, a Q-switched Alexandrite and a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser device. Of the three sorts of laser devices, the latest as well as most successful at taking out red, black and blue pigments is actually the Nf: YAG laser device.

Crude oil's roller-coaster ride
Fawad Razaqzada December 16, 2016 12:26 PM
Crude oil took a roller-coaster ride to nowhere this week. That big gap higher at the start of the week meant no serious trader was going to buy it up there. Instead, a lot of profit-taking took place, which caused both contracts to more than 'fill' their respective gaps. But towards the end of the week, the buyers stepped in once again to re-establish their positions, interestingly around the top of the resistance range that had been in place until the start of this week. This is technically bullish as it shows speculators are willing to see oil prices hold above the post-OPEC highs. I am therefore still bullish on oil and think we will see higher prices next week. However if Brent breaks below $52.80 support then there is a good possibility we will see $50 again and more consolidation going into the year end.

Meaning Making in Secondary Science Classrooms
McGraw-Hill Education, 1 ˇ.Â. 2003 - 160 ËąéŇ
This book focuses on the talk of science classrooms and in particular on the ways in which the different kinds of interactions between teachers and students contribute to meaning making and learning. Central to the text is a new analytical framework for characterising the key features of the talk of school science classrooms. This framework is based on sociocultural principles and links the work of theorists such as Vygotsky and Bakhtin to the day-to-day interactions of contemporary science classrooms.
* presents a framework, based on sociocultural theory, for analysing the language of teaching and learning interactions in science classrooms
* provides detailed examples and illustrations of insights gained from applying the framework to real science lessons in Brazil and the UK.
* demonstrates how these ways of thinking about classroom talk can be drawn upon to inform the professional development of science teachers.
* offers an innovative research methodology, based on sociocultural theory, for analysing classroom talk.
* expands upon the ways in which sociocultural theory has been systematically applied to analysing classroom contexts.
This book offers a powerful set of tools for thinking and talking about the day-to-day practices of contemporary science classrooms. It contains messages of fundamental importance and insight for all of those who are interested in reflecting on the interactions of science teaching and learning, whether in the context of teaching, higher degree study, or research.

Project Description
Providing unique and engaging experiences
Vindobona provides personalized care to its residents in a home-like setting. The community wanted to offer unique experiences to its residents through innovative programs to further increase resident engagement, promote independence, and alleviate challenging behaviors.
Meeting these goals meant using new technology in a building with historically poor cellular reception and connectivity.
Implementing reliable technology
Vindobona began using the Eversound system regularly for monthly resident meetings, church services, music therapy, and exercise classes.
They found that Eversound complimented their preexisting auditory programs such as Music & Memory and iN2L. Vindobona expanded its use of Eversound to outside entertainers and instructors who performed or taught at the facility, such as musicians and yoga teachers.
Positive impacts on both residents and staff
Staff found that they could successfully communicate with residents regardless of impairment level. Residents demonstrated immediate improvements in autonomy and independence, mood and energy, and attendance and participation.
Eversound also deeply impacted by improving staff efficiency. By using Using Eversound to alleviate distractions, staff found they didn't have to repetition and time spent dealing with dysfunctional behaviors.
Eversound has made a huge impact on participation and engagement . . . Using Eversound has led to smoother shift changes for staff as residents experience less need and demonstrate fewer behavioral challenges."

Corrosion sensor/data logger system
A system using tank corrosion sensors to provide for an overall assessment and monitoring of the electro-chemical corrosion and coatings condition in ships' tanks, and particularly in ships' seawater or compensated fuel tanks. The system includes reference half-cells mounted along a suspended cable and one instrumented sacrificial anode at the end of the cable to provide optimal sensing capability within a tank structure. The reference half-cells and the sacrificial anode measure a potential and current output, respectively. Together the measurements provide objective information that can be used to predict corrosion damage and coating deterioration occurring throughout the structure of the tank. The system may be used for an overall assessment and monitoring of the electro-chemical corrosion and coatings condition. In a preferred embodiment, the measurements are stored in a datalogger that is optimally contained within an associated instrument housing. If used with other systems in other tanks, the system may be used to monitor the relative tank condition, trend tank condition changes over time, range tank behavior into three categories and provide a direct analysis methodology for making tank maintenance decisions.

Gas generating process for propulsion and hydrogen production
A gas generating process, which is for the continuous production of energy and hydrogen for rocket and other propulsion and is also for the continuous production of hydrogen, utilizes the reaction of metallic materials, particularly aluminum, with organic materials, particularly hydrocarbons provided as jet fuel, and with water or an oxidizer which is predominantly water. In comparison with related reactions, the reaction produces hot gases containing more hydrogen and the products have a lower temperature for the same specific impulse. The process incorporates organic liquids with metallic powders to produce desirable, lower molecular weight exhaust gas products; and the increased hydrogen is desirable for use with a fuel cell and in connection with propulsion of a super-cavitating underwater device. The process is advantageous in that a metal, in powdered form, and a hydrocarbon liquid may be provided together as a slurry or gel for effective metering. The metallic material may also be provided with the organic material in the form of a binder as used in solid propellants, and the organic material and water may be provided together in the form of a water containing liquid monopropellant. The hydrogen containing product gases from the reaction may be further reacted with suitable oxidizers for production of additional energy or steam. The reaction is particularly useful for underwater vehicles where ambient water is available and the reaction products may be used for propulsion.

World Cup planning visit to Malaysia
Oct. 16, 2016 @ 13:55 UTC
In preparation for the Youth Touch World Cup in 2018 and Touch World Cup in 2019, the Federation is conducting planning sessions in Malaysia.
FIT representatives Secretary General (Bill Ker) and Event Commission Chair (Gary Reynolds) have been busy on their 4 day mission to meet with FIT Touch Malaysia representatives Bryan O'Connor and Samsul Norazim.
The visit started on Saturday with a trip to the playing venue, Putrajaya Equestrian Park. The expansive grounds will cater for 9 playing fields with the local Putrajaya Council commencing construction on a new development in late 2016 to provide an additional 4-6 fields for the events.
On Sunday the party met with representatives of Malaysia Major Events before heading into an important meeting to go over budgets and event delivery agreements.
In the afternoon the focus shifted to visiting accommodation venues which will continue on Monday to find suitable facilities for the large refereeing contingent that will be required for both events.
To conclude there will be another round of planning meetings on Monday and Tuesday before Bill & Gary return to Australia.
FIT would like to thank FIT Touch Malaysia for their hospitality. We are looking forward to bringing two great events to Malaysia.

It's time to get nostalgic as we look back on the stories that moved us in the last 12 months — the ones that made us smile or maybe even get a little teary and reminded us there truly are a lot of good people doing good things in the world.
Here's a look at many of the tales that made us feel good in 2018:
A different kind of signing day
A student puts on a hat representing his future company. (Photo: Henrico County Public Schools)
In spring, high schools typically celebrate athletes signing letters of intent and seniors waving college acceptance letters. But one Virginia school system wanted to celebrate a different life-changing event for students who weren't heading to college. In Henrico County, public school administrators held a ceremony honoring students who were getting jobs or apprenticeships right after graduation. The students met with representatives from their future places of employment and signed letters outlining what they and the employers would expect from each other. The unusual signing day hit a chord with students, parents and readers.
A snowy nighttime meeting

In surveillance footage captured at a marina in Cobourg, Ontario, a young fox had an unusual encounter with a snowy owl. The video shows the unlikely duo meeting on an untouched stretch of snow. The fox was very excited, twirling and leaping around the owl, who didn't seem to share his new friend's enthusiasm. Readers were moved by their brief but memorable meeting.
Entranced by the galgo

There's an ancient dog breed called the galgo that captivated the attention of several rescuers and travelers. We told the story of Tina Solera, who moved to Spain where she had an instant connection with the noble, gentle dogs that wander the streets. She created a rescue for them and found homes for many of these "ghost" dogs. After meeting a galgo on the streets of Atlanta, Scott Gulledge and George Knott brought four of the dogs home to the U.S. They have since formed an advocacy group for galgos and podencos, a similar breed.
Secrets in the ice

As mountain ice melts in Norway, ancient artifacts that had been preserved and hidden for hundreds of thousands of years have become uncovered at an unprecedented rate. Due to climate change, archaeologists have been working to round up finds including tunics from the Iron Age, arrowheads dating back 1,500 years, and even the remains of a wooden ski dating to the year 700. The fascinating discoveries have been unearthed in the ice, which has acted as an unusual time machine. Some of the oldest objects were dropped more than 6,000 years ago.
A musical delivery surprise
When pizza delivery driver Bryce Dudal showed up at a Detroit front door, the teen saw a baby grand and asked if he could sit down and play. The family agreed and the self-taught Dudal trotted out some impressive Beethoven. Fortunately the family recorded the performance and we all got to watch.
Cleaning up ocean plastic

We've closely followed the story of Boyan Slat, who was just a Dutch teen when he first came up with a way to clean up ocean plastic. In October, Slat's trash-collecting booms started picking up plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. According to Slat's estimates, his booms will collect about half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch within five years, and should collect about 90 percent by 2040.

Urban coyotes aren't usually welcome visitors; they often have unpleasant encounters with their neighbors. When one newspaper deliveryman was called about missing papers, he found a curious coyote was to blame. The coyote picked up the papers and tossed them about, having fun with her daily delivered toys. So the smart delivery guy came up with a clever solution to keep everybody happy.
Angry dog grudgingly finds love

When his owner dumped him at a shelter, it was no wonder little Pomeranian mix Negra didn't want anything to do with people. The angry pup snapped at the rescue worker who tried to snuggle him but eventually gave in, putting his head on her shoulder and asking to be loved.

Craig Carton Convicted Of Fraud
Former WFAN Host's Lawyers Plan To Appeal Verdict
By The Associated Press
Craig Carton, who co-hosted WFAN's morning show for 10 years, emerged from a courthouse where he was convicted of fraud Wednesday to say he was disappointed with the verdict, though he respected it.
"I need to let it sink in now," Carton said. "I'm going to go home and hug my kids and let my lawyers deal with the rest of it."
His lawyers said they planned to appeal the Manhattan federal court jury verdict. Sentencing was set for Feb. 27 on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and securities fraud. Carton faces up to 45 years in prison.
The verdict came after five hours of deliberations that began Tuesday.
Carton, 49, of Manhattan, was former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason's on-air partner for years on WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" show. He left the program after his arrest last year.
He was accused of swindling investors in a ticket reselling business.
Prosecutors said he spent investor money on personal expenses, including gambling debts and landscaping bills.
Carton's lawyers argued during a week-and-a-half long trial that Carton was no crook and that he was victimized by his former business partner, Joseph Meli.
Meli was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison earlier this year after pleading guilty in a $100 million ticket reselling business fraud.
Prosecutors said the former co-host of WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" show had misappropriated at least $5.6 million. Carton didn't visibly react as the verdict was announced.
"I'm obviously disappointed with the verdict today," Carton said shortly after he walked out of the courthouse. His lawyers had said he did not plan to say anything.
"I respect it," he also said of the jury's decision.
After Carton's arrest, Esiason told the Boston radio team of Toucher & Rich morning that he was "lost and kind of a little bit heartbroken over the whole thing."
In a statement, Carton promised that "when this strange episode is over, I'll be back, stronger than ever."
