Warner Bros. has released a new The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies poster reminding us that yes, there is still one more Hobbit movie to go. This poster features a bruised and dirty Bilbo (Martin Freeman) wielding his sword against a backdrop of destruction with the tagline “The Defining Chapter.” Indeed, director Peter Jackson will attempt to bridge the gap between The Hobbit trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy with this final Hobbit film, and I’m definitely curious to see how this will segue into Fellowship of the Ring. It’s kind of crazy just how little enthusiasm there seems to be for this Hobbit series. Each LOTR film was a massive event, and while anticipation was certainly high for An Unexpected Journey, it feels like the majority of moviegoers are turning up for these Hobbit movies out of obligation rather than genuine excitement. That’s not to say the Hobbit trilogy doesn’t have its fans, but on a general audience scale, the passion surrounding the release of these films seems almost minuscule in comparison to LOTR.
Regardless, take a look at the new The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies poster after the jump. The film also stars Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies opens in 2D, 3D, HFR 3D, and IMAX 3D on December 17th.

The folks at WB are also offering fans the chance to vote on which Hobbit poster they’d like to see next, so if you feel so inclined…

Here’s the official synopsis for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies:
“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.


A NUNEATON student will be among a six-strong party undertaking a 13,500-mile drive through 18 countries - to highlight new technology designed to help the environment.
David Lewis, aged 19, of Langdale Drive, a student at the University of Cumbria, will be driving from Penrith to Tokyo in vehicles with fuel-efficient (hybrid) engines.
He said: "This is going to be a real test of our planning skills and motivation. We really need to work as a team as we will be driving through temperature extremes of minus 10C to over 50C.
"The journey will take us through six mountain ranges and we will experience many different climates."
David, the expedition project co-ordinator, will be joined by five fellow Cumbria students.
He said the primary aim of the project was to prove that hybrid engines - combining electric and petrol technology - can perform to the same standard of reliability and durability of conventional fuel engines.
They hope it will demonstrate the need to replace existing engine technology to help protect the environment.
The team also hope to raise £2,000 for the Calvert Trust in Penrith, which helps disabled youth groups in the outdoor environment, while also supporting the Japanese Environmental Education Forum charity.
The expedition is planned for June and July next year.

“In Her Words” is a series of paintings dedicated to Diane Eyerman, a fiber artist and mentor who passed away from ALS at the age of 56. Unable to continue her work, she turned her creative passion to poetry. These paintings are a combination of her words, her love of art quilts, and her inspiration to the artist in all of us.

The image above is at Hour 144, roughly 6 days away. This is Tropical Storm Leslie, which is currently to the east of the Virgin Islands. Leslie is indeed forecast to become a hurricane, but this forecast, should it verify, would bring a Category 4 hurricane to the region.
A category 4 hurricane is defined as a hurricane with central pressure between 920 and 944 millibars. I would prefer not to say the wind speeds, as I believe the Saffir-Simpson scale should not include the wind scale after what we saw with Isaac. However, for those wanting to know, a Category 4 hurricane has 130-156 MPH winds.
This remains a far ways out, but is certainly something to watch. A hurricane of this magnitude could greatly devastate Bermuda with high surf and flooding rains.


I miss them. I live in Los Angeles. As much as its residents try to ignore it, Los Angeles is actually part of the desert. This is what surrounds Los Angeles:
Some people find it beautiful. I am not really one of them. There are no trees. There is no green. It looks devoid of life. It isn’t, but it looks like it. That’s the kind of landscape that can kill you. If you dropped me off out there without a cell phone or compass, I would become forlorn, panicky and I could actually die.
This is what I grew up with:
Now, that is beautiful. Do you see the difference? Do you see how lush and green and full of life that is? If you dropped me off in the middle of that forest, I could spend days just wandering around eating whatever I found and drinking from the plentiful ponds, rivers and lakes just like the deer.
That’s not to say that Los Angeles doesn’t have trees. It does. They just mainly look like this:
Once in a great while, I can look at a palm tree and remember how cool I once thought they were. Palm trees meant Los Angeles to me. They still do, but not quite in the starry-eyed way they once did. Nowadays, I find myself, not infatuated by palm trees, but missing the colorful trees of my youth:
They swallow up the sun and give you a pleasant dappled shade. They sway in the breeze and produce a reassuring rustling sound. They drop their colored leaves on the soft bed of earth. And the smell, oh the smell… There’s nothing quite like the smell of the forest. The forests in Michigan have little lakes, rivers, creeks and ponds throughout. If you walk far enough in any direction in northern Michigan, you’ll probably run across a scene like this:
It might be inhabited by people or it might not. Either way, you will have to share it with the fish, deer, rabbits, birds, wolves and bear.
Los Angeles has water, too. It actually has a one of the largest bodies of water on earth at its doorstep with the finest beaches right there.
And on a really hot day, lots and lots of people.
I love the ocean; I just don’t like sharing it. If I want the ocean to myself, I drive way up past Malibu proper, nearly into Ventura county.
My favorite beach is just past what I call the Rock On The Left. Driving up the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica, it’s the only spot that has a rocky formation on the ocean side of the road:
It’s beautiful and usually, I’m all alone, but it’s very far from my home. it is a trek and I can’t go there all the time. Sometimes, I can only make it there a couple of times a year. Where my parents live in Northern Michigan, this is just steps outside their front door:
At sunset, it looks like this:
Los Angeles has beautiful sunsets, too, especially over the ocean. There’s something about the sun setting over the ocean, this immense body of water that covers most of the earth, that reminds you just how small and impermanent you are.
On a clear night in Michigan, you don’t even have to look up to see the stars. They poke right over the horizon:
The night sky in Los Angeles is beautiful in its own man-made way, but it is so bright that you can’t see many stars (other than maybe the movie star variety, which aren’t nearly as interesting or beautiful as the real ones in my opinion).
I miss my home. I miss its lakes, trees and sunsets. I miss its smells. I wonder why I am here instead of there and then I remember exactly why that is:
WINTER. Oh, how I hate thee. In Los Angeles, our winters look like this:
Remember to bring a light jacket.

The Project: Design of Buengo’s mobile App
Buengo aims to disrupt the way non-profits and individuals raise money for the causes they care about. I joined the project on its very early stages to help produce an app where users could buy & sell used items and donate the proceeds to good causes.
Date: September 2017 – March 2018
Oufela Hughes – Co-founder & CEO
Alex Hancock – Co-founder & CTO
Hana Gausfain – UX/UI Designer
Katie Eldred – Marketing Manager
I took the responsibility then to start from scratch, rethink and redesign the whole information architecture, interactions and UI elements, with a user-centered approach.
The goal: transform the app into a useful and usable tool for buyers, sellers and causes.
Step 1: Defining the information architecture
I started by focusing on understanding the different user flows. What were their goals, jobs and actions to be taken within the app and how we should organise them. The challenge was to combine two completely different features into one single product:
- Buying and selling second-hand products locally
- Launching fundraising campaigns and donating to causes
Buengo aimed to allow users to create a personal profile to sell their products, buy products and launch fundraising campaigns, either personal or on behalf of an organisation.
It also aimed to allow NGOs, schools or any kind of association to set up an organisation profile and let users create campaigns on their behalf. (For the MVP however, we decided to register organisations and enter them manually).
Since Buengo is a very ambitious project in terms of the number of different actions that can be performed through the app, we will focus only on the three main jobs to be done: buy, sell and launch a campaign and how it affected the new IA.
- Buengo users definition:
To define the best navigation I needed to understand the different Buengo users. Based on previous research, we identified three main users according to their goals:
– sellers (sell their products)
– buyers (buy second hand products)
– fundraisers (raise funds for a cause)
Within buyers and sellers, we could differentiate between those who were invested in a particular cause and wanted to raise funds or donate to it (engaged users), and those who simply wanted to declutter or look for a good deal (unengaged users).
Among fundraisers we could also subdivide between particulars, who ran their own fundraising campaign (personal campaign), and organisations who would run their own campaigns and also let other users run campaigns on their behalf (organisation campaign).
From that user analysis I was able to work on the different user flows, navigation, and screens that were needed to craft the best possible experience for each kind of user.
- Local second hand marketplace flow:
As we just saw, we defined two types of marketplace users: those who were invested in a particular cause (engaged), and those who were more interested in selling or buying the products (unengaged).
User flows needed to portray that difference. Engaged sellers would look for a particular campaign first, and then upload their product. While the unengaged would focus on uploading the product first and then selecting a campaign to donate the proceeds to.
Regarding buyers, the unengaged ones would be looking for a particular product and then maybe check where the money would go to. Engaged buyers, would first look for a campaign they wanted to support, and then look for a product that they would be interested in.
- Fundraising platform flow:
As we mentioned before, for the MVP organisations would register through another channel and then the team would introduce their profile into the app. That’s why we will focus on the campaign champions flow. Users that want to raise funds for a cause, either personal or on behalf of an organisation.
In this case, to simplify the process for the MVP, I defined a single starting point for organisation campaigns (Add campaign) and discarded the option to search for organisations first and then adding a campaign.
- Previous version of the app:
Before I got involved in the project, the app consisted of a main feed that would mix different kinds of postings: new products, new campaigns, new users, organisations, etc., with no hierarchy. Users would be able to filter by type of posting by accessing the hamburger menu on the bottom navbar and selecting an option:
Filters also worked by swiping right and left from the main feed, but there was no visual cue that indicated users they could swipe, or what information they would see once they did. This type of navigation placed every single piece of posting at the same level, overwhelming users with information that was not relevant to their interests or helping them achieve their goals.
Step 2: Producing wireframes and prototyping
From the user flows, previous research and an extensive competition benchmark, I produced wireframes of the different screens to have a basic outline.
As I will explain in the next step, I then put together a prototype with the wireframes and ran a user test to get insights and iterate designs.
To better explain the screens and flows I will use final design mockups.
- Main feed:
I designed a two-tab homescreen to change between the products feed (Items in the app) and the campaigns feed. Each one with its own filter and search button to easily find a specific product or campaign, and an “add” floating button to quickly create a new posting.
I also placed all the main screens in a bottom navbar, instead of the hamburger menu, to have faster access to the different sections. The idea was to let users reach their goals, and see relevant information as easy and quick as possible.
I introduced a two-column layout for products and decided to show the related campaign category in each of the product cells. This way uninvolved buyers would have an idea of where the money would go without going too much into detail.
- Product purchase flow:
The product detail screen contains all the basic information of the product and the seller, as well as the related campaign so that the buyer can see where her or his money will go to.
Buengo charges a small fee for every sale made through the app. Since we wanted to promote transparency, I designed a screen with the payment breakdown carefully explaining every line to help avoid frustration from the buyer.
- Campaign launch flow:
On the add a new campaign form (and the one for a new product too), I worked on the copy to make it more conversational instead of the usual “Name” and “Description” placeholders.
To show that campaigns could be either personal, or for the benefit of an organisation, I placed a switch to give access to the organisation list.
Step 3: Research & Iterations
Before producing the final mockups, I ran a test with two different kinds of users: second hand marketplace consumers and charity employees.
I prepared two different prototypes to be able to test as many screens and functionalities as possible: the purchase of a product from a specific campaign and the launch of a new organisation campaign.
From the test we got valuable feedback that confirmed that users found the app intuitive and easy to use. Buyers would look for the product both by filtering results on the product feed, and by searching first on the campaign feed, which confirmed the buyers flowchart I had defined.
Charity employees provided very important feedback regarding the creation of a campaign on behalf of an organisation: campaigns had to be approved first. That’s why we worked on a functionality to allow organisation managers to receive campaign requests before being published on the app.
I then modified the campaign launch flow accordingly, changing “Launch campaign” button to “Continue” when an organisation was selected, and showing an information message to let the user know the posting was on hold.
Once all screens were designed, I worked on the final mockups for the onboarding flow and the visual and copywriting content for the app stores.
Before the launch, I worked as well managing the QA testing phase, producing the different test scripts and analysing feedback in order to iterate designs for a version 2 of the app.
Thank you for reaching this far, any comments or questions?

- Our Impact
|Title||Effects of temperature-induced variation in anuran larval growth rate on head width and leg length at metamorphosis|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2000|
|Authors||Blouin, M, Brown, ST|
|Type of Article||Journal Article|
We tested whether temperature-induced variation in the growth rate of Rana cascadae tadpoles caused any variation in head width or leg length at metamorphosis, independent of the effects of temperature on body size. Body-size-adjusted head width appears to be insensitive to even large variations in tadpole growth rate. This result mirrors previous observations on the effects of variation in food level and temperature on metric shape in frogs and other ectothermic vertebrates. Leg length, on the other hand, showed a small but statistically significant response to the temperature treatment. Fast-growing tadpoles attained slightly longer legs than slowly growing tadpoles at a common metamorphic body size. This example is the first to show that variation in growth rate per se can influence metric shape (i.e., the rate at which individuals reach a common body size determines their shape at that size). Nevertheless, the induced effects were small, and our results taken together with those of previous studies suggest that environmentally induced variation in growth rate is not a major source of variation in metric shape of skeletal characters in ectothermic vertebrates.

Cancer is not always a disabling condition. Medical technology continues to get better, and there are more and more treatment options, some of which are very successful. An early diagnosis can also catch the disease before it is so advanced that it causes a disability.
However, the opposite is also true: There are definitely times when cancer and the effects of treatment can qualify as a disability due to the fact that they make it impossible to work. This could be true for life or just for the term of the treatment. Even if it is just during treatment, though, that could take weeks, months or even years, so it’s worth considering.
Naturally, the Social Security Administration (SSA) needs proof of the cancer’s existence and its impact on your ability to work. Four specific details that they ask for include:
- The type of cancer that you have been diagnosed with
- The extent to which the cancer has developed or spread
- The site at which that cancer is located
- Whether it is a primary site, a recurrent form of cancer or a metastatic lesion
This is why getting proper medical care and staying involved with your own medical records is so important. The answers to these questions may lie within documents such as the operative note or the pathology report. Your medical provider should be able to help you find the paperwork to back up your claims, and the SSA needs copies of that paperwork to give you benefits.
This is a complicated and yet important process, so be sure you know what steps to take.

3-2 on eSports in 2019 up 3.53 units
13-6 in 2020 up 13.38 units
ENCE ML at -193 for 4 units. No Lekr0 for NIP so bet ENCE. NIP have nothing to play for. If ENCE can win this match by a total of 16 rounds they won’t have to play Astralis. That is enough of carrot on a stick for them to be prepared for this match. Love some some Finland vs Sweden CSGO. This is one of those matches that should prolly be even odds if both teams were at full strength, but ENCE are favored for a reason. Hampus has not played enough matches with the other guys in NIP for me to worry too much on this play.

Dove Ranch sits in the middle of open range land. What that means is that it is my responsibility to keep cattle off my land, not the cattle owner’s responsibility to keep the cattle contained. I’ve determined I want an all metal fence instead of a metal fence with wooden posts, mostly because of the brush fire risk in Utah. Finally, I realized what I wanted for my ranch is a barb wire pipe fence.
Think of a barb wire pipe fence as a hybrid of chainlink fences and barb wire fences. They’re a little pricy, but very sturdy and fire resistant. Barb wire pipe fences aren’t really documented well on the internet. I’ve searched for months for information, and I finally had to just go look at some to figure out how they’re done.
What I really could have used when I started thinking of creating a barb wire pipe fence was a good set of diagrams with part lists. I’m sure someone that works in the industry could have figured this out in less than a minute, but I’m a newb, so it took me months to figure out. When I started looking at them last year, I didn’t even know the metal posts were simply sold as “pipe.” I did mention I was new to this, … right?

Oil prices rose on Friday, despite concerns over an interview on “60 Minutes” featuring the crown prince of Saudi Arabia where he said Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei is “very much like Hitler.” Anadolu Agency/Getty Images photo.
US oil prices up on Friday over one dollar
Oil prices were up Friday and, after losses earlier in the session, are now on track for a weekly gain as crude followed the US stock market higher. Crude prices also looked to cover short bets expected before the 60 Minutes interview with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.
By 2:08 p.m. EDT, benchmark Brent rose $1 to $65.95/barrel, up 1.54 per cent. US WTI rose $10.7 to $62.26/barrel and the Canadian Crude Index broke the $40 barrier, rising 92 cents to $40.41.
“Mohammed bin Salman will be on ‘60 Minutes’ on Sunday comparing Iran’s Ayatollah to Hitler, and the battle in Ghouta, Syria, is ramping up,” John Kilduff, partner at investment manager Again Capital told Reuters. “You can’t be short oil over the weekend with all that going on in the region.”
On Friday, Baker Hughes released it weekly rig count. For the week ending March 16, there were four more oil rigs in the US, bringing the total count to 800. At this time last year, there were 631 oil rigs operational in the United States.
In Canada, the rig count dropped significantly, falling 52 to 144. Compared to this time in 2017, there were 149 oil rigs in Canada.
The International Energy Agency said on Thursday that while global oil demand is expected to rise this year, supply is growing at a faster pace. This will result in higher crude inventories for the first quarter of the year, which will put pressure on oil prices.
The IEA also boosted its forecast for crude demand in 2018 to 99.3 million barrels per day (b/d) from 97.8 million b/d in 2017. The agency added that expected supply from non-OPEC countries will expand by 1.8 million b/d this year to 59.9 million b/d. This increase will be led by the United States.
“Producers, as we’ve gone through earnings, are showing that they’re going to remain disciplined even with a little more supportive oil price, which we think is healthy for the market,” Matt Sallee, a portfolio manager at Tortoise Capital told Reuters.
Oil prices fell earlier in the week after the US Energy Information Administration reported US crude stocks rose by 5 million barrels. Also, the firing of the US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, upped political risk this week. Tillerson is expected to be replaced by a candidate more hawkish concerning Iran and North Korea.
Comments by Saudi’s crown prince saying Riyadh would develop nuclear weapons if Iran did so, also increased global tensions.

Christians always try to avoid the “low road” in difficult situations. We try to turn the other cheek. Maybe even look the other way and ignore when someone does us wrong. We try not to seek revenge. We pray that God will help us with our anger.
We think by ignore others that have done us wrong is taking the high road. Is it really though?
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.” Matthew 5: 38-40
When we turn our backs on people who have wronged us are we really taking the high road or the middle road?
We all know the low road means to seek revenge or to get even. We often mix up the high road and the middle road.
The middle road means to turn your back on someone who has wronged you. To let them go from your life.
When we look at the verses in Matthew we can see that God never wanted us to turn our backs on anyone. He instead told us to offer more of ourselves to those that take from us. The high road takes a great deal of sacrifice. The high road means you might have to swallow your pride sometimes.
It is difficult to win a battle of pride in the flesh. That is why it is important to fight in the Spirit. Pray for those that have hurt you , stolen from you , offended you , lied about you , or even turn their back from you. When you see these people in need be a helping hand. Be the shoulder they can lean on. Take your emotions out of the situation and use Holy Spirit to guide you. In the end God will always bless those that take the high road.

Carbon Seal Wear Tests Using the RTD Seal Rig.
Phase rept. 1 Feb 69-1 Feb 70,
SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INST SAN ANTONIO TX
Pagination or Media Count:
Test results are presented for an investigation of carbon seal wear suing the RTD seal rig. The test machine employs a full-scale main shaft jet engine seal-the forward seal of the No. 2 bearing sump for the J-93 gas turbine engine. Data for a 410-hr test using a MIL-L-7808G lubricant showed mild oxidative deterioration of the lubricant with no evidence of significant carbon seal wear. Similar results were obtained with a MIL-L-25336 type lubricant which was tested for a period of 300 hr. The latter fluid is the high wear reference standard used by the Naval Air Propulsion Test Center in conjunction with a bench-type carbon seal wear tester. Author

Comprehending Distinct Sorts of On the web Slot Devices
We’d be squandering your time if we attempted to categorize all the varieties of slot equipment. Each and every casino provides a vast selection of slots to entice gamblers. judi bola online arrive in hundreds of kinds and variations, from solitary line and three line, to 3 or five reel, and from bonus online games to progressives, to point out just some.
It makes much more feeling to look at the common characteristics of slot equipment.
Number of Reels
There are typically 3 or five reels in a slot device. Early slots experienced only 3 reels. We keep in mind them as “basic” or “normal” machines.
Nowadays, 5 reel slots are typical, and they normally function far more than one particular payline (see underneath).
Variety of Rows
Slots machines function one particular, two or many horizontal rows marking positions on the vertical reels.
Further rows, typically 1 earlier mentioned and one particular below the payout exhibit, tempt gamers with a see of how narrowly they may have missed a acquire.
Quantity of Spend Strains
There can be 1 or far more paylines crossing the reels. It truly is widespread to see 3, five, nine, 15 and a lot more just lately even twenty lines. For a successful combination, the specified symbols need to fall on a line, often the central horizontal line.
There’s only one payline crossing the three reels on a classic device. You can wager a single or much more coins for each spin but only the centre line pays, and rising your bet does not improve your odds of winning.
On a slot with a lot more than 1 payline, you can provide added strains into engage in by upping the number of cash you play. You will not have to wager on every accessible payline.
Suppose you’re on a three line slot and you might be necessary to insert one particular coin to enjoy the middle line, a next coin to engage in the line earlier mentioned heart and a 3rd coin to play the line under middle. If you now guess only one coin and the reels screen a winning mixture on the line earlier mentioned or below the middle, you don’t get anything at all due to the fact you played also few cash.
By giving diagonal matches, slots with 5 reels can have from five to 20 paylines.
Denomination of one particular coin
There are slot devices which accept denominations from as tiny as five cents to $5. Large roller slots might settle for “cash” with a denomination of as considerably as $five hundred, though these are handful of and significantly among. Some on-line casinos have special restrictions set up for their huge gamers to accommodate large bets..
Amount of cash that can be performed
The greatest bet on vintage slots is typically 3 cash, but there are some slots that acknowledge a two-coin maximum bet. Again, video slots have changed this characteristic dramatically, with some multi line online video slots now accepting up to 10 cash for every line.


19 September 2007, Dhaka. The body of BRAC Area Manager Abdul Alim (37), who was killed by unidentified assailants in Afghanistan, has been buried today at his village in Tangail. Senior BRAC officials from the head office and regional offices attended the burial.
The body of the deceased was brought back in to the country from Kabul on an Emirates Airlines flight earlier this morning, at 11 am. Family members of the deceased and senior BRAC officials received the body at the Zia International Airport and escorted it to his home in the village of Digore, in Ghatail upazila of Tangail district. The namaz-e-janaza of the deceased was held at a local mosque and attended by thousands. His body was then buried at 5 pm at the family graveyard.
A gayebana janaza for the deceased was held at the BRAC Centre in Dhaka after zohr prayers which was attended by all BRAC head office staff.
Mr. Alim was shot to death by a group of unidentified gunmen in a village in the Badakshan province of Afghanistan on 12 September. Mr. Alim joined BRAC in 01 January 1996 and had been working in Afghanistan as BRAC’s Microfinance Programme Area Manager since 16 November 2005. His wife, Shahnaz Naznin, was also working for BRAC’s Health Programme prior to their marriage. Mr. Alim left behind his wife and two young children, Abdullah Al Nafiz (7) and Abdullah Al Noman (4).

During a recent Fox News Channel debate about the Obama administration’s tax policies, Democrat Bob Beckel raised the issue of “fairness.”
He pointed out that a child born to a poor woman in the Bronx enters the world with far worse prospects than a child born to an affluent couple in Connecticut.
No one can deny that. The relevant question, however, is: How does allowing politicians to take more money in taxes from successful people, to squander in ways that will improve their own reelection prospects, make anything more “fair” for others?
Even if additional tax revenue all went to poor single mothers — which it will not — the multiple problems of children raised by poor single mothers would not be cured by throwing money at them. Indeed, the skyrocketing of unwed motherhood began when government welfare programs began throwing money at teenage girls who got pregnant.
Children born and raised without fathers are a major problem to society and to themselves. There is nothing “fair” about increasing the number of such children.
High tax rates in the upper income brackets allow politicians to win votes with class warfare rhetoric, painting their opponents as defenders of the rich. Meanwhile, the same politicians can win donations from the rich by creating tax loopholes that can keep the rich from actually paying those higher tax rates — or perhaps any taxes at all.
What is worse than class warfare is phony class warfare. Slippery talk about “fairness” is at the heart of this fraud by politicians seeking to squander more of the nation’s resources.
The mediocre muddle through.
Ability is not distributed evenly. Character is not a universal constant. Different cultures, far from being equal, are anything but. The story of each person’s life is the account of how their character, ability, and cultural/personal values empowered them to succeed, prevented them from doing so, or allowed them to squeak by.
Winners tend to understand this, even if they do not articulate it. Losers, unable to come to terms with their own inadequacies – and perhaps improve them in the process, look for ways to rationalize their failures away as being the fault of someone else. Often this means blaming circumstances beyond their control – bad luck. In other cases they will try to blame other individuals, typically those who have done well in life, as being the “cause” of their failure.
Entire political ideologies have evolved from this, with many examples through history. In America today it is the Democratic Party that promotes this destructive world-view of blaming winners for the shortcomings of losers. Terms like “fairness” and “equality” get misappropriated, their meanings twisted, and used to justify the punishment of those who can in order to appease the feelings of those who can’t. Worst of all, some among those who can are fooled into thinking that they should apologize for their successes. They feel guilty because they do well in life, and look for ways to assuage their conscience by commiserating with those they mistakenly believe have been victimized. They seek to raise taxes (on other people) in order to fund government programs that literally reward losers for failing, thereby perpetuating and promoting the behaviors that lead to failure in the first place, making them into cultural institutions in many cases.
There is nothing that can be done about losers, except to refuse to subsidize their stupidity. The people who can be reached are those who have been mislead into blaming themselves for the shortcomings of others. They need to be reminded that each of us is more of less on our own, and that external advantages or disadvantages are trivial compared to character and ability. It is these that ultimately determine the outcome of a person’s life, not whether they have a rich uncle or grew up in a tarpaper shack.

Belfast’s Boucher Road Playing Fields will be the new Fanzone for anyone wanting to watch the Euros in the city.
Belfast City Council is to provide the “official Fanzone” for this weekend’s two Euro 2016 games featuring Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The Fanzone will have a big screen to show Northern Ireland’s Last 16 match against Wales on Saturday evening, followed by the Republic of Ireland’s game against host nation France on Sunday afternoon.
Announcing the move, the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Alderman Brian Kingston, said: “The Fanzone at Titanic Quarter, operated by the organisers of the Belsonic festival, was a terrific success during the qualifying round. However, as it was known that the Titanic site would not be available past the qualifying rounds, the Council was working behind the scenes to identify a suitable alternative site.
“Boucher Road is a great site, accessible to all parts of the city, and beyond. By locating the Fan Zone here, the Council is ensuring as many fans as possible get the chance to continue to demonstrate their phenomenal support for both teams as they enter this crucial knock-out stage.”
Full details about gate opening times and entry terms will be published on the Belfast City Council website tomorrow (Friday).

Confocal microscopy uncovers toxic nanoparticles
Confocal microscopy of a cell with silver nanoparticles [MPIKG]
Germany-based researchers have unveiled stunning confocal micoscopy images of cells incubated with silver nanoparticles as part of research into the toxicity of the materials.
The nanoparticles are being used in myriad applications, from drug delivery to disease diagnosis, yet researchers do not fully understand how the particles interact with cells.
With this in mind, Dr Guillermo Orts-Gil from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, and colleagues, synthesized silver nanoparticles, coated with either glucose, galactose or mannose.
These carbohydrates are typically used during manufacture to functionalise the nanoparticle surface ready for use in disease diagnosis and treatment.
The researchers then incubated lab-grown cells with dilutions of the different nanoparticles, evaluating toxicity via a standard MTT assay.
They also used confocal microscopy and mass spectrometry to assess particle-cell interactions.
According to Orts-Gil, glucose-functionalised nanoparticles were found to be significantly more toxic towards the cells than those functionalised with galactose and mannose.
Crucially, confocal microscopy and mass spectrometry revealed that the least toxic of the nanoparticles - the galactose-functionalised nanoparticle - actually penetrated the cells the most, countering past nanoparticle research that related toxicity to cellular uptake.
Indeed, confocal microscopy showed galactose-functionalised nanoparticles clustering inside the cell cytoplasm while the more toxic glucose- and mannose-coated particles spread evenly through the cell.
Confocal microscopy images of cells incubated with nanoparticles; cell nuclei are stained in red while green dots represent fluorescently labelled nanoparticles. [Journal of Nanobiotechnology]
"We see that particles which are largely internalised into cells do not necessarily present the highest toxicity," says Orts-Gil. "Here, the glucose-capped nanoparticles present the highest toxicity... despite moderate cellular uptake, compared to the other nanoparticles."
"Intracellular oxidative stress, depending on particles coating was the deciding factor leading to toxicity," he adds.
The researchers believe their latest findings provide new information for manufacturers of nanoparticles, on how bioactivity of silver nanoparticles can be altered, using different carbohydrate coatings.
Research is published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology

Yesterday, federal and local officials visited King Street Station in Seattle to mark the start of the Pacific Northwest Passenger Rail Corridor project, which is designed to modernize the station and increase its capacity.
Joined by Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond, Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph Szabo toured the project, which received a portion of $814 million the U.S. Department of Transportation dedicated from the High-Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail Program to the Pacific Northwest, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) officials said in a prepared statement.
The funds will pay for upgrades to one of the busiest intercity passenger-rail corridors in the nation, which runs 466 miles between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Eugene, Ore. Roundtrips between Portland and Seattle are expected to increase by 50 percent in five years, FRA officials said.

World Threatened By Damage to Coral Reefs
VICTORIA (AFP) -- Marine biologists this week launched an appeal for more funds to monitor and protect the world's imperiled coral reefs, warning that rampant damage to the undersea ecosystems poses a global threat.
"The threat to coral reefs is therefore no longer just an island problem but a world concern," Seychelles Environment Minister Ronny Jumeau told more than 80 marine experts gathered here for a five-day conference.With about 20 percent of the earth's reefs damaged beyond repair, 24 percent under imminent threat and 26 percent facing long-term threats, Jumeau said the international community had to do more to ensure their protection.
"The developed world should commit more funds to coral reef monitoring programmes and to the management of protected areas," he said.
"If we allow our coral to die especially in the face of sea level rise, thousands of islands across the globe will disappear, along with whole countries, innumerable communities, entire cultures," Jumeau said.
According to reports presented to the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) conference that opened here on Monday, reefs have been damaged in the waters of 93 nations.
In parts of the Indian Ocean, where the Seychelles islands are located, researchers fear that reefs could disappear from vast swathes of sea beds in the next 20 years, according to the reports.
Although such damage has immediate effects on small islands, it can also endanger food security in larger nations, experts said.
"Many species of fish depend on coral reefs for their food or protection and the collapse of the reefs would lead to elevated costs of fish worldwide," said ICRI co-chair Rolph Payet.
Delegates to the conference said rich nations, which emit a large percentage of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming and reef destruction, had a special responsibility to act.
ICRI is a private sector-government partnership set up in 1995 to address coral reef conservation and management and to reduce the destruction of coral reefs as well as other related ecosystems.


Quality vehicle ignition coil manufacturer and supplier 2022? Haiyan is a professional ignition coil manufacturer & supplier, specialising in car ignition coil, plug coil and spark coil. Haiyan ignition coil manufacturer products contain high-quality car ignition coil, engine coil, ignition coil packs, tool cabinets, hardware accessories, and precision matching pieces of Japanese host. Every year the production quantity of ignition coils reach 1,000,000 PCS, cars spare parts reach 2,000,000 sets and 3,000,000 sets of Japanese hosts accessories. Read extra details on ignition coil supplier. The quality of Haiyan car ignition coil/ automotive ignition coil is guaranteed.
By using the effects of mutual inductance and by using a secondary winding that has 100 times more windings than the primary winding, it is therefore possible to transform the original 12-volt supply into a very high voltage. This process of changing a low voltage into a high voltage is referred to as the ‘transformer action’. In an ignition coil, the primary and secondary windings are wrapped around an iron core, which helps concentrate and enhance the strength of the magnetic field and flux, thus making the ignition coil more efficient.
What is the reason? Here are some of them: The power supply voltage is unstable; The resistance of the high-voltage line is abnormal, replace the high-voltage line; There is a short circuit phenomenon in the secondary; The primary current of the ignition controller is too high, causing the ignition coil to overheat; Problems with high temperature and high-pressure wave work well; It is very unlikely that the coil itself is a problem, you can try another brand; The integrated block of the igniter does not work well.
The first coil-based ignition system is credited to the American inventor Charles Kettering, who developed a coil ignition system for a major vehicle manufacturer around 1910/1911. For the first time, he devised an electrical system that powered the starter motor and ignition at the same time. The battery, a generator and a more complete vehicle electrical system provided a relatively stable electrical supply to the ignition coil. The Kettering system used a single ignition coil to produce a high voltage, which was passed to a rotor arm that effectively pointed the voltage to a series of electrical contacts located in the distributor assembly (one contact for each cylinder). These contacts were then connected by spark plug wires to the spark plugs in a sequence that made it possible to distribute the high voltage to the spark plugs in the correct cylinder firing order.
The hardware accessories series is available in a wide range of types and specifications. Haiyan hardware accessories manufacturer carries out strict quality monitoring and cost control on each production link of hardware accessories, from raw material purchase, production and processing and finished product delivery to packaging and transportation. This effectively ensures the production of hardware accessories manufacturer has better quality and more favourable prices than other products in the industry. Find more details on hj-auto.com.

Review: Risen 3: Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition (PlayStation 4)
- Release Date (NA): August 12, 2015

We take on the role of the Nameless Hero, a gruffish-looking pirate with suspect voice acting who kind of sounds like he is doing a bad Jason Staham impression. It made me cringe and laugh at the same time, pretty much every time he opened up his potty mouth. He swears a lot, as I imagine a pirate would, but it sounds so forced and out of place - as do all of the voice overs in the game.
Risen 3 opens with the Nameless Hero in a dream where he and his crew are in the middle of a sea battle against another ship full of undead Shadow warriors. Why this is happening isn't explained and the next thing you know you are landed on a tropical island, along with your similarly foul-mouthed buxom sister, Betty. You find a temple hidden at the centre of the jungle and activate a portal that leads to an undead magical being, the Shadow Lord, who then proceeds to suck out your soul, killing you in the process. The Nameless Hero is then buried on the beach by his crew, but shortly afterwards is resurrected without his soul. This sets up the goal of the adventure; to recover your soul and seek revenge by wiping out the undead army.
You should come back later if an enemy is too strong for you
The Southern Seas are a treacherous place for even the most hardened of pirates. There are a good variety of enemy types lurking at every turn, ready and waiting to bring the pain to our Nameless Hero.
It took me around 5 hours of playtime to raise my melee stat high enough to actually fight enemies with confidence. Risen 3 is the first game I've ever played where you can shotgun a monkey (or any 'minor' enemy) in the face at point blank range... and it doesn't die, and the same monkey can kill you in 2 swipes. At the start of the game I was getting one-shotted by giant enemy crabs and it was really frustrating to keep seeing the same message pop up on-screen: YOU SHOULD COME BACK LATER IF AN ENEMY IS TOO STRONG FOR YOU. That's all fine and dandy if only there were a low level starting area, but as far as I know, there isn't. No matter which of the seven main ports I decided to dock at, the enemies in the area seemed equally as brutal. This led me to start exploiting the combat by letting my NPC companion do the brunt of the work whilst I roll stabbed my way around to victory.
Combat feels clunky and and enemies use cheap attacks that you can parry but cannot riposte until you find the right trainer and pay them to learn the tactic. There is no traditional level up system in the game but instead you earn Glory by dispatching enemies and completing quests. When you have earned enough Glory you can then choose to upgrade your stats. Initially I pumped everything into melee as guns use ammo which is a pretty scarce commodity and bullets tend to miss more often than not until you raise the relevant stat. Magic isn't really viable until later in the game after you have chosen one of three factions and learned some offensive spells.
You would think that a pirate themed RPG would have a lot of sailing in it, but alas me hearties (sorry), in Risen 3 nearly all of the sailing is done via cutscenes. There is some naval combat in here which is done considerably well, but it left me wanting way more. On the upside though, you can transform into a parrot and fly around...
Content with content?
Risen 3 Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition has a lot of content to get through. There are hundreds of missions to find and finish and the majority of the ones I stumbled upon were fun to complete and not just glorified fetch quests. Whether it was helping a guy escape a magic mushroom cave whilst he was tripping his face off, or collecting relics for a voodoo priestess to create a sceptre, the variety of quests on offer is interesting enough to make you want to find as many as possible. The dialogue between the main character and NPCs is a bit janky though, often with nonsensical reply options for the player to choose from. Fortunately the voice acting is so funny that it made the bad dialogue bearable. My favorite NPC, 'Bones', who I kept by my side the most due to his tendency to heal me all the time in battle, is meant to be a vodoo warrior, yet the voice actor sounds like he is doing an audition for a role in a Shakespeare play.
As well as the slew of available quests in the adventure, there are also mini-games to partake in like arm wrestling, knife throwing and liquor drinking as well as many other tropes often found in Western developed RPGs, such as forging weapons and armor, crafting spells and magical jewellery and alchemy, used for the crafting of potions. Packaged with the base game in this Enhanced Edition are all of the title updates and three DLC packs; 'Adventure Garb', 'Fog Island', and 'Uprising of the Little Guys'.
I went into Risen 3: Titan Lords with really low expectations after playing Risen 1 back in 2010 on the Xbox 360. Despite the game's extremely slow opening and cumbersome systems, I ended up being pleasantly surprised once I'd got to grips with what was going on. The game does have some issues though, it isn't a AAA experience and if you are coming at it after something like The Witcher 3, you could easily be disappointed. It isn't as polished as it could be, with loads of clipping issues, a broken autosave feature that never loads, unexplainable happenings like companions randomly vanishing or your armor set changing after a load screen. Despite these issues I found the game to be fun, and that is what matters most in the end.
+ Loads of content
+ Great setting
- Clunky combat
- Terrible voice acting
- Long load times
Risen 3 on PS4 is a mixed bag with great looking environments but not so great NPCs and enemies. Developer Piranha Bytes claim the game runs on PS4 with comparable settings to the PC version set to 'Ultra'.
Gameplay consists of the usual RPG fare; take on quests and fight bad guys. Due to the large amount of quests thrown at the player without much direction, the journey can quickly become frustrating with loads of backtracking. Add to this the clunky combat and occasional glitches and it can sometimes feel like you are fighting with the game instead of enjoying it.
With a large open world to explore, hundreds of quests to complete and 2 sizable DLC packs included, Risen 3 should keep you adventuring for some time.
out of 10
(not an average)
Risen 3: Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition is a solid attempt at an open-world RPG that just falls short of being a great game. Overall this is the best title in what is otherwise a mediocre series.
