Q: Iterated adjoint functors Let $F_0 : C \to D$ be a functor.  If it exists, let $G_0 : D \to C$ be its left adjoint.  If it exists, let $F_1 : C \to D$ be its left adjoint.  And so forth.  In situations where the infinite sequence $(F_0, G_0, F_1, G_1, ...)$ exists, when is it periodic?  Aperiodic?  (Feel free to replace all "lefts" by "rights," of course.)

A: http://www.springerlink.com/content/pmj5074147116273/ considers sequences of adjoint functors just like you describe.

A: A simple example where there are adjoint strings of arbitrary length is given by the simplex category, or rather the simplex 2-category, the sub-2-category of Cat whose objects are finite ordinals (so the 1-cells or functors are order-preserving maps, and the 2-cells or transformations are instances of the order relation f ≤ g). Notice that the functor 0: [1] --> [2] = {0, 1} is left adjoint to the unique functor !: [2] --> [1] which is left adjoint to the functor 1: [1] --> [2] = {0, 1}.
Using this and the monoidal structure, you can generate adjoint strings of arbitrary length which zig-zag between the cofaces i_k: [n] --> [n+1] and codegeneracies p_k: [n+1] --> [n]. Specifically, if i_0 < i_1 < ... < i_n name the n+1 injections [n] --> [n+1] and p_1 < ... < p_n name the n surjections [n+1] --> [n], then there is an adjoint string of the form
$i_0 \dashv p_1 \dashv i_1 \dashv \ldots \dashv p_n \dashv i_n$
and clearly there is no periodicity here.

A: In general, all the functors might be nonisomorphic.  The way I know how to prove this is to consider the free monoidal (not symmetric) category with left and right duals on a single object x0, and show that there are no maps between the xi for distinct i, and so the functors xi ⊗ – (which form such a chain) are definitely  distinct.
I believe there are some natural situations however where the sequence is 4-periodic.  One that I think is true is when you are in a 3-category and all your unit and counit 2-morphisms themselves have adjoints.  This must be true and the root reason is that taking the double left adjoint corresponds to the generator of $\pi_1(O(2)) = \mathbb{Z}$ but twice that generator is killed in $\pi_1(O(3)) = \mathbb{Z}/2$.  But so far I haven't managed to turn this into a direct proof using the axioms of a 3-category with adjoints.

A: Let $C$ be an $\infty$-category.

*

*If $C$ has a zero object, then the unique functor $C \to pt$ is an ambidextrous adjoint (i.e. fits into an adjoint string periodic of order 2).

*(If $C$ is semiadditive, then the diagonal functor $C \to C^2$ likewise is an ambidextrous adjunction.)

*Let $C^{[1]}$ be the category of arrows of $C$. There is always an adjunction $cod \dashv id \dashv dom$ between the codomain functor, the functor which takes the identity arrow, and the domain functor. If $C$ has an initial object, this chain extends one step further to the left, and if $C$ has a terminal object, it extends one further to the right. If $C$ is pointed and has cokernels it extends an additional step to the left, and if $C$ has kernels it extends an additional step to the right.
If $C$ is stable, this adjoint string extends infinitely in both directions. It is periodic of order 6 up to a twist by the suspension functor $\Sigma$.

*Likewise, let $C^{[2]}$ be the category of composable pairs of arrows of $C$. The composition map $C^{[2]} \to C^{[1]}$ always fits into the middle of an adjoint string of length 5, which extends an additional step with intitial / terminal objects and again with kernels / cokernels.
If $C$ is stable, this adjoint string extends infinitely in both directions. It is periodic of order 24 up to a twist by $\Sigma^3$.
Examples $(1,3,4)$ clearly suggest that if $C$ is stable, then between $C^{[n-1]}$ and $C^{[n]}$ we have a bi-infinite adjoint string, perhaps periodic (up to a shift) of order $(n+1)!$. But I'm not sure.
Various reindexing functors for functor categories into a stable $\infty$-category from various other finite categories also induce infinite adjoint strings. For instance,

*the constant functor $C \to C^{\bullet \leftarrow \bullet \to \bullet}$ fits in a bi-infinite adjoint string which is periodic of order 4 up to a shift by $\Sigma$.

If $C$ is ambidextrous in the sense of (Hopkins and) Lurie, even more functor categories do this.
Another place this happens is in Grothendieck duality -- it turns out that an exact symmetric monoidal functor between nice tensor-triangulated categories either fits in an adjoint string of length 1, 3, 5, or bi-infinity. In the infinite case, it is periodic of order 6 up to a twist by the so-called "dualizing object".


We want to share with you some of the advanced technologies Currie has patented. These rides are fun for everyone and the value exceeds the dollar amount. Currie offers quality construction, top-rated performance, and a wide variety of products. Here are some commonly asked questions and concerns, answered!
What are the laws governing E-Bikes?
E-Bikes are not classified by the NHTSA as a motorized vehicle. A license is not needed to ride an electric bike. E-Bikes however must be limited to a motor driven top speed of 20 mph.
What are the differences in battery types?
Sealed Lead Acid, or SLA batteries are a time-tested, reliable, power source. They are also relatively inexpensive. However they are heavier, take longer to charge and have a shorter lifespan than Lithium Ion, or Li-Ion batteries. Li-Ion while more expensive, will last longer, charge faster and are lighter in weight. They represent the best in current technology.
Yes, the batteries used in the Currie Hybrid Electric Bicycles will need to have a "break-in" cycle consisting of ~ three discharge/charge cycles before they will reach optimum performance. This involves three complete discharges and three complete recharges. After this initial "break-in" cycle the batteries will have maximum possible performance and less line voltage fluctuations under load.
Average battery life depends on use and conditions. Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last forever. Conservatively, an SLA battery will come to the end of its useful life after ~200 full discharge/charge cycles, while Li-Ion batteries will last about 500 cycles. A partial charge/discharge counts fractionally against those numbers; running the battery down halfway then recharging it completely uses up one half of a charge cycle.
Does an electric bike require any special care?
Not really if you know and facilitate proper use and charging. E-Bikes can be ridden in pretty much the same conditions as a regular bike. They are fine in the rain or snow but shouldn't be ridden under water! The batteries should not be stored in extreme temperatures and if inactive, the batteries should be charged every 90 days.
Are E-Bikes complicated and expensive to repair?
Not at all! IZIP Electric bikes use standard bike parts. If there is a problem with the E-Bike components, the motorized wheel, controller box, and handlebar controls are simply replaced.
IZIP E-Bikes give you the best of both worlds.
• TAG - Twist And Go. A simple twist of the throttle and the bike goes. No need to pedal.
• PAS - Pedal Assist. When you pedal in this mode, the system senses your cadence and adjusts motor speed to match. Using the throttle in the PAS mode will give you 100% asssist. PAS yields the best range.
IZIP also offers more sophisticated PAS systems that sense torque and hybrid cadence sensing systems.
What do the specs mean?
Ah- amp hours is a measure of battery capacity.
Watts (V x A) - are a measure of power, the way motors are rated. Most E-Bikes are 250 to 500 watts.
Motor wattage is only one part of the story. A well engineered E-Bike balances motor power, battery specs, and user controls to give the rider a bike that is efficient and that provides sufficient power for their needs.
It depends on many factors: terrain, wind, temperature, rider weight, and rider input. Under normal conditions and rider participation, one can expect 10-30 miles per charge.
Legally, an E-Bike cannot exceed 20mph under motor power. IZIP and eZip E-Bikes conform to this regulation. However, there are IZIP models offered that will go well over 20 mph with the rider's pedaling and, as with any bike, for instance going downhill.
Some do, but in reality the charge generated is less than 10%. You'd have to have some very long downhill terrain or drag while pedaling to make a noticeable, charging contribution.
What´s the difference between IZIP & eZip bikes?
eZip E-Bikes are Currie Technologies' value line of bikes, sold through a variety of retail outlets. They offer good overall value and a 6-month warranty contribution. IZIP bikes are the premium line sold exclusively through premium specialty retailers. These bikes offer the best technology, quality frames and components, and a more robust warranty ranging from 1 year to lifetime depending on the individual component.
What is the IZIP warranty?
Currie Technologies® IZIP products are warranted to the original retail purchaser, from the date of purchase when purchased directly from an authorized Currie reseller, to be complete and free from defects in materials and workmanship in the frame and components, except for tires and inner tubes and batteries, for a period of 2 years to lifetime depending on the individual component. Batteries are warrantied for 1 year.
PAS/TAG+ introduces torque sensitive pedal assist (E3 Ultra) and crank motion sensitive pedal assist (E3 Metro) technology.
When you pedal in PAS mode this system senses your pedaling pressure (E3 Ultra) or your pedal motion (E3 Metro) and adds motor power to match. Select between three levels of power assist using a handlebar-mounted button. If you need even more boost regardless of setting or pre-existing speed, just twist the throttle and override the system to max power.
If you want to forget pedaling entirely, change to TAG mode and use the throttle alone for regulating speed and power.
Allows users to select between two modes. 1. PAS Mode: Pedaling without throttle gives 50% of available power assist, conserving the battery. Pedaling while activating throttle allows the rider to go from 50% to full power or anywhere in between.
2. TAG: No pedaling required, just throttle from 0% to 100% power.
A simple twist of the throttle and the bike goes. Twist further for higher speed, less for lower speed. It's our most basic technology, easy to use and understand.

Plain English for non-economists – what happens in a government bond sell off?
October 15, 2013 Richard A Snow	Leave a comment
In the last week, the mutual fund which was largest holder of short-term US government debt sold off all their holdings of US government bonds that matured in the next 90 days. So what happens next?
I need to explain a bit of arithmetic here, but please bear with me. The arithmetic will only take a minute. A bond is a tradable IOU. Suppose I wanted to sell you an IOU that said I would pay you $100 in a year's time. If the interest rate were 2 per cent, you'd be prepared to pay $98.04 cents for it. You get this by dividing $100 by 1.02 (1+ the interest rate as a decimal.) Why? Because if you put $98.04 in the bank at 2 per cent, you'd get $100 at the end of the year. Suppose interest rates were 5 per cent.. you'd pay $95.23 for it. ($100/1.05) Why? Because if you put $95.23 in the bank for a year at 5 per cent, you'd get $100 at the end of the year. If it were 7 per cent, you'd only pay $93.46 (100/1.07).
Do you see the pattern? As the interest rate goes up, the resale price of a bond goes down. Saying the bond price went down is the same thing as saying the interest rate went up. Investors are beginning to dump US government IOUs that mature in the next 90 days, because they are afraid the US government won't be able to pay up on time. Once a few funds begin to do this, others will be forced to follow. Investment markets work as herds. If everybody is dumping something, and you don't, you get stuck with an asset that's worth less than what others are holding. So if the price of US government securities fall, interest rates go up. It's the same thing.
The next problem is how banks price interest rates on loans. They take what they regard as the "risk free interest rate", and then add margins onto it for riskier loans. For as long as anyone can remember, US banks have regarded US government bonds as the risk free asset.
If there is a default on bond payments, what is the risk free rate? It's very dangeerous territory, because it only happened before in 1979 (see below) and circumstances were very different then. And what would financial institutions hold for short-term debt, if they think US bonds are unsafe? British, German or Swiss IOUs? Nobody knows. Many personal investors have bonds in their pension funds. Many banks need short-term instruments for liquidity. A sell-off could begin to snowball, affecting bonds beyond the 90 day papers that had been sold off so far, reducing the value of other, longer-term bonds. If that happens, a lot of damage will have been done. So know you know. If a solution isn't found, a lot of people and banks will be deep in doggy-do.
There was one incident, during the Carter Presidency, where the US was up against its debt ceiling, and while a deal was done at the minute to raise the ceiling, the US Treasury was a late in making interest payments. Not everything was computerized as well back then. Investors knew the payments would be made, because the deal had been struck, but nevertheless, interest rates went up by 0.5 per cent, and didn't go down again immediately the payments were made. That meant an increase in on-going interest costs and some institutions sued the US govt over the back interest.
I'm reproducing a description here from a website that gives the details of the 1979 incident, but you'd need to scroll down a long way to find these paragraphs, so I'll reprint them here. The reference is to April 1979, when there was a fight over the debt ceiling, and a deal was made but interest was paid late.
In April of 1979, Congress failed to legislate to reach a deal in time, and the Government hit the debt ceiling. Without the ability to borrow more it had to decide who not to pay. It could 'close down the government' and stop paying employees or suppliers, or it could stop paying interest and maturing principal on its debts – Treasury bills, notes and bonds. It chose the latter.
In the 1979 defaults, the US Government didn't treat all its creditors equally. Most Treasury bills, notes and bonds are held by banks and other financial institutions like insurance companies and pension funds, with a small minority held by individuals. In 1979, the Government chose to repay the main institutional creditors in full, out of fear of triggering a banking crisis, but chose to default on 6,000 individual investors.
On 26 April 1979, the US Treasury defaulted on $41 million of maturing Treasury bills. They were paid 20 days late on Thursday 17 May 1979 after the Government found some money. Then again on 3 May 1979, Treasury defaulted on another $40 million. These were also paid 14 days late. Then again on 10 May 1979, Treasury defaulted on yet another $40 million of maturing T-bills. These were also paid on 17 May.
Treasury refused investors' demands to reimburse the $325,000 in lost interest on the late days and so investors were forced to sue the US government in a class action (Claire G. Burton v. United States, US District Court, Central District, California, D 79, 1818LTL (Gx)). Unfortunately the Court threw out the investors' claim by relying on a 1937 Supreme Court ruling that, "interest does not run upon claims against the Government even though there has been a default in the payment of principal". (Smyth v. United States, 302 U.S. 329, 1937). It came as a shock for Americans to discover that not only had the Government defaulted on its debts, but there was a decades old judicial precedent establishing that it didn't legally owe interest when it failed to pay on time! When the money market opened on Friday 27 April 1979, the day after the first default, T-bill yields spiked up by 50 basis points [Note by RS: 50 basis points mean half a percent.] and this default premium on US T-Bills remained even after the default was rectified the next month. This demonstrates that the US Government has indeed defaulted on its debt (at least temporarily), and that US T-bills are not 'risk-free', but are prone to a credit default premium in their pricing.
Quote from http://cuffelinks.com.au/us-government-previously-defaulted-risk-free/
So, a delay of about 3 weeks in paying interest on bonds previously caused a rise of half a percent in the government's borrowing costs. It seems plausible that a longer delay would cause a bigger rise in interest costs. Hopefully we don't find out the answer to that.
Finally, half a percent might not sound like much. But the US has about $17 trilliion of bonds outstanding. Unless the budget moves back to surplus and the government can start buying it's own bonds back, each of those bonds has to be replaced by a new one as it falls due. Half a percent of 17 trillion would be about 85 billion in extra interest, spread out over the life of the existing bonds. it doesn't hit all at once but that's a lot of cash.
So, are you affected? Do you hold government bonds in your pension fund or 401k? What do you intend to do? And what do you think about the current situation? Does it bother you?

Economic crisis, Occupy wall street, War in iraq
Why aren't more Americans more visibly angry?
October 15, 2011 Richard A Snow	6 Comments
The thing I can't work out today is "Why aren't more Americans more visibly angry?"
I have just watched the BBC, CNN's, MSNBC's and the Guardian's coverage of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. Yes it's spreading to other cities, but look at the numbers involved: 4,000 in New York, and figures ranging from a few hundred to a couple of thousand elsewhere.
Why am I perplexed?
Photo from BBC
In the early years of the war on Iraq, after the world knew that the justification for the war had been sexed-up and fabricated, I waited for the protest to begin. The death toll in Afghanistan and Iraq grew steadily. But no 1960s –style antiwar movement seemed to develop. I read a book by one deserter
who fled to Canada, as many did in the 60s to dodge the Vietnam draft. There
may have been others. But I didn't hear of any mass movement. I figured that when the death toll in Iraq passed the toll of 9/11 something would trigger a mass revolt against the war. But no. The silence was deafening.
It's now 4 years since the Wall Street banks' behaviour pushed the American economy into a crisis from which it is still hurting badly. Houses have been foreclosed on, unemployment is 9 per cent, and Zuccotti Park has what? 4,000 people in it. Commentators on the internet are assuring their audience that the Tea Party people were angry at bailouts when they first began. But I don't hear their anger at the claim that the richest 400 people in the US have as much wealth as the bottom 150 million.
I've had the good luck to live in a country that's still growing economically, thanks to the fact that China and India, to which we export, are still growing. And by sheer dumb luck, Australian banks didn't get involved in the American sub-prime derivates and mortgage bundles.
So why do I care?
I've often been fascinated by American politics.
The first political saga I ever took an interest in was Watergate. As an 18-19 year old in Australia in 1973-74, I watched in morbid fascination as the efforts of a President to cover up illegal conduct by his staff brought him undone. My education on abuse of power here in Australia had to wait for the stacking of the Senate against Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1974-75.
More of America's political processes take place in public. They have the primary elections process starting in New Hampshire in February, but effectively already underway 6 months early. You can watch the jockeying taking place in public. Right now, you can watch republicans consider electing a man who believes in magic underwear to the office of President. (And if you don't know what that means, Google 'Mormon garmies.') In Australia, when Julia Gillard knifed Prime Minister Kevin and the party dumped him as leader, the deal was done in back rooms and became public after it was an established fact.
The US is still 20 per cent or so of the world's economy. It is the only country that can afford eleven aircraft carrier strike groups.
Abraham Lincoln Battlegroup – picture from Wikipedia
The US still produces a lot of
the ideas and popular culture that influences the rest of the world. And you
can't escape that America has 312 million people in it, compared to 22.7 back
here. The means the bell curve is 14 times bigger and the tails of the curve are 14 times thicker, and extend left and right further than here. So when it comes to extreme opinions, well, 22 times as many people means… you guessed it. And as Regan and Thatcher showed, and later Bush and Blair, if an American President can get even one other world leader onside, they can do things that effect millions of people in other countries. I still regard America as a source of noble aspirations and ideals, even if it's health-care system and it's limited unemployment insurance causes one of my female friends to say the thing she dreads most over there is the idea of getting seriously ill. I like the separation of powers that the framers of its constitution came up with.
I've been to the US eight times, tacking on trips to Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil and Argentina as I went. I've been to California, Arizona, Las Vegas, the Grand
Canyon, New Orleans, New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Boston. I have friends there, some of whose political opinions strike a chord with me. With others, I have learned to shut up. Of my facebook friends in the States, only one is persistently angry in her facebook posts.
So coming back to my first question: why aren't more Americans more visibly angry? Is it a sense of futility? Do they believe that they could protest all they like, but it wouldn't make any difference? Are they too focussed on keeping the job they have, and not making waves? Or is it the belief that they'll get thru, one way or another. That somehow they will survive. Or that complaining is unseemly when so many others are in the same boat?
Meanwhile, Manhattan has 1.6 million people, and only 4,000 are in Zuccotti Park.
Any readers out there want to make a suggestion?

Q: IPython Notebook WebSocket connection failed With Chrome/Firefox and IPython 1.1 under Windows 7 64bit I've got the error "WebSocket connection failed" on opening an existing IPython notebook if using automatic proxy configuration (with authentication) though the configuration file contains exception for localhost.
I poked a little bit around in Chrome (30) and found in the Javascript console (F12):
Kernel started:  aec48410-068f-424f-8fc1-8fd229409e70 kernel.js:110

WebSocket connection failed:  ws://127.0.0.1:8888/kernels/aec48410-068f-424f-8fc1-8fd229409e70

Obviously the websocket server has been started and it is the right adress (same as output of ipython-notebook)
Any ideas? Thanks!

A: It is about proxy configuration: We have a proxy that needs authentication and it is normally automatically configured by a central configuration file.
In this file there is an exception for localhost but for some reason this does not work.
Manually configuring the proxy with authentication and adding localhost as an exception did the job. And that was the difference between Firefox and Chrome - I forgot that I configured them differently.

A: happened same with me. When I installed tensorflowjs, it downgraded my prompt-toolkit version to 1.0.14. To solve this issue just upgrade prompt-toolkit version to 3.0.5 by running the following code in your command prompt:
 pip install prompt-toolkit==3.0.5

A: I ran into websocket closed/connection issues and zmq message arrived on closed channel when running jupyter notebook and jupyter lab. The issue was caused by running the xpython kernel. When I switched back to python3, all was good.

The name Anton has Latin roots, comes from the Roman family name Antonius (Antonius, Anthony). This is a very ancient Roman generic name, so the exact meaning is not known.
It is possible that it comes from the ancient Greek "antao" ("anteo"), meaning "to meet", "to collide". There is an interpretation of the name close to this meaning - "entering the battle", "opposing". There is also a version that the root of the name Anton is "anthos" - "flower".
The paired female name to the name Anton is Antonia. But the name of Antonidas is "daughter of Anthony." Options in other languages: Antoinette, Anton. From the generic name Antonius, a derivative name Antonin (Antonin) appeared, to which the paired female name is Antonina.
Diminutive-affectionate treatment Tony later became an independent name, although it continues to be actively used in relation to the name Anton and its analogues (mainly in European and English-speaking countries).
The church version of the name Anton is Anthony, it is worn by many saints and monks. Christians especially venerate the Monk Anthony the Great, who was one of the first monks to lead a hermitic life. People themselves began to look for him in order to touch his wisdom.
The owner of the name Anton is a man not without a certain charm, although he does not necessarily use it deliberately. He prefers to be loved by others for the reasonable and subtle qualities of his mind, than for the seductive powers that he may possess.
This is a reserved and preoccupied person who, although quite charming and sociable, does not like to talk a lot about himself and remains quite secretive. A man named Anton is like a man who was born to win, he is capable of dynamism and decisiveness, extremely convincing and inclined to be responsible for all his actions.
Anton has a talent for organization, and he does not value fast work, work without solidity. His ability to work is significant, he has a practical approach and analytical thinking, he has a skeptical and critical manner in assessing both his own efforts and the efforts of others. Effective in self-defense, sometimes it is not restrained in criticism.
As a child, this is an extremely independent boy, maybe even too much. Anton often seeks to get away from everyone, to retire with a book, prefers to be alone than in an unwanted company. Parents should pay attention to this tendency, to instill in the boy the importance of spending time together, cooperation, since such behavior can lead to an egocentric model of behavior in life.
Anton enjoys silence, study, reflection, analysis and meditation, often interested in advanced technologies (information technology, nanotechnology, robotics, oil and gas industry). Accuracy of perception, in-depth study of the issue will help him find his vocation in architecture, scientific fields, marketing, logistics. For all his personal isolation, Anton knows how to correctly build sequences, think logically, has perseverance in achieving goals, so such areas as politics and sports are close to him.
In matters of the heart, this is a rather shy man, hiding his acute sensitivity behind a veil of indifference that can make him seem cold and insensitive. Nevertheless, Anton has a wonderful moral character. Extremely demanding and selective in his personal relationships, he can remain a lonely wolf, unless he manages to find a soul mate, a spouse with whom he can share everything. And he will choose it in accordance with the general intellectual, cultural or spiritual relationship.

The founder of the Kiev Pechersk Monastery and one of the first monks in Russia, the Monk Anthony, did not at all correspond to the literal meaning of his name.
Since childhood, dreaming of becoming a monk, already as a youth Anthony reached the Holy Mount Athos (the territory of modern Greece). Having taken the tonsure, he very soon, with his humility and obedience, attracted the attention of the local abbot, who blessed him to return to the Russian land and preach Christian values by his example.
Returning to his homeland, Anthony settled in seclusion not far from Kiev. With his meek, deeply prayerful life, he began to attract other people who began to settle around the cave. This is how the famous monastery was formed.
Anthony himself, wishing to devote himself further to prayer solitude, again settled in one of the nearest caves, living there until the end of his life and remaining a living example not only for the novices of the monastery, but also for the entire monastic brethren.

Water damage is serious business. What you see on the surface is only the beginning of the problem. Water can seep deeply into the floors and walls of a structure causing extensive damage to the building and creating a breeding ground for mold, mildew and various types of toxic bacteria. The clean up process can be overwhelming when the extent of the damage is finally discovered.
Water damage does not only affect the condition of the structure. It can also cause major health problems. When mold, mildew and toxic bacteria area allowed to grow and spread in a moist environment, the result can be repeated trips to the doctor with upper respiratory illnesses and chronic infections. When water damage occurs, immediate action must be taken to prevent the moisture from spreading throughout the home or business. By preventing it from spreading, you can reduce the risk of further damage to the home as well as lessen your exposure to toxic mold and other contaminants.

Drywall, wood floors, carpeting, insulation, basement and crawlspace walls are all susceptible to extensive water damage. If proper care is not taken to remove the damaged areas and thoroughly dry the material out, the chance for moisture to remain increases dramatically. Mold and bacteria begin to grow immediately once the water has been removed. This means odors and discolorations can begin to appear in as little as 24 hours.

Once the area is clear of water and wet debris, we will begin the dry out process. In areas where moisture has been in place for longer than 24 hours, our crew will evaluate the area and remove any moldy or mildewed areas that are uncovered.

The key to survival is not so much the moisture in the soil, as the moisture in the air. An easy way is to raise the pot by a layer of pebbles or a 2-3" width jar cover in the saucer. Keep water up to the bottom of the pot only, so roots won't rot.
You don't need to press down those bulbs in winter nor mulch them further. Leave them alone, they need the cold, and they will be fine.
At planting time, ignore the traditional advice to cover your containers' drainage holes with pot shards. New studies show that rather than improving drainage, they can actually hinder it. Instead, put a small square of window screening over each opening in the bottom. It will keep soil in the pot but still allow water to drain out. A used coffee filter works well also.


I selected this one from the book days ago and had to come back several times before I found a sliver of light, showing me the way in. Emily sorts through the villagers within her and finds one that needs her attention.
The first thing that I notice is that Emily inserted a three-line stanza among the four-line stanzas. Why? Because she can. It's her poem, and she can do what she wants. Maybe she threw a glitch into her poem, disrupting the flow and our expectations, so we would pay attention. Not fall back to sleep.
So what's the story here? She describes a willing descent or opening to that "Omen in the Bone", the end encoded in our DNA, coming for us whether we acknowledge it or not. There is an effort to bring back the past, either to fix it or re-experience it. Memory gives only partial relief or "Haggard Comfort".
Emily cannot shake the sense that somewhere she has overlooked something important. That her structure of thinking has exiled a part of her that yearns for return, to be enfolded back into the family of her Self. This is her twin. The part of her that she loathes. The weak, vulnerable, death-focused twin. Her brother. The part that gives up and gives over to that downward slide.
She looks across the line that separates them and looks as into a mirror. Compassionate Emily seeks to embrace (or almost seeks) her own despairing aspect of self. She considers herself the benevolent comforter, the larger, the stronger.
In the end, honesty compels her to recognize that they are equals, balanced on either side of a dividing line. Neither is superior to the other. She may accept his pity as he may accept hers. For Emily to consider that her vile twin may pity her is to give some integrity to what he represents, or rather to the knowledge that he holds. That is the awareness of Death, that Omen in the Bone.
The Death-force and the Life-force are twins, partners. Life doesn't triumph over Death, or the other way around either. It's not a contest that either can win. They are twin brother and sister. Compatible. They may abhor each other and turn away in horror. Refuse to love or accept each other. But they are born from the same egg. That will never change.
Brave Emily wants to clasp his hand. She softens toward her twin. She can't turn anyone away from the shelter of her being. It would be dishonest in the end. And folly to presume that she may pity one whose power and integrity is equal to hers. That is the shocking twist at the end.
She sees herself from his point of view. Emily's unfiltered sight turns on herself. Her relentless, unvarnished curiosity to see a thing from all sides forces her to consider that there is a reality on the other side of the line that separates life and death. A reality that she fears and so demonizes. (As we all do.) But she's too tough to let that stand. Her mind, in partnership with instinct and spirit, refuses complacency. Emily must look to her dark twin.


Do Antibacterial Soaps Impact Your Liver?
Did you know that a bio-artificial liver is currently in human trials? Similar to how hemodialysis can be a lifesaver for those with kidney failure, the bio-artificial liver can do the same for those facing liver failure.
The second most commonly transplanted organ in the United States, liver donors are in great demand. At any given time there are an estimated 16,500 people awaiting a liver transplant, even though only 3,000 of these organs are available. For those at end-stage liver disease or in acute liver failure, liver transplants currently represent their last hope. Though, the bio-artificial liver support system is currently being tested for its ability to sustain patients with a failing liver until their liver can repair itself or a suitable liver donor match is made.
49 sites located in the U.S., Europe and Australia. If the results of these clinical trials demonstrate efficacy and safety, Vital Therapies' bio-artificial liver has the potential to save thousands of lives.
The bio-artificial liver is designed to perform the critical functions of a normal liver, including protein synthesis and the processing and cleaning of the patient's blood. This occurs much in the same way as hemodialysis for a person with end-stage kidney failure. A process that uses an artificial membrane to mimic the kidney's function, hemodialysis requires the patient's blood be pumped from the body into the dialyzer machine where waste products and extra fluid are removed, and then the filtered blood is pumped back into the body.
Devices that do the work of human organs have been used successfully for years. The Dutch physician Dr. Willem Kolff is considered to be the father of hemodialysis after he constructed the first dialyzer (artificial kidney) in 1943. It is astonishing that the liver equivalent to a dialyzer is finally being tested in humans over 70 years later.
Pulling blood away from a patient's body via a central venous line.
Passing the patient's blood through four tubes coated with liver cells on the inside.
When passed through these specialized tubes, the blood is cleaned and treated as if the liver processed it.
Once processed, the blood is returned to the body.
The human trials currently underway at Cedars-Sinai Medical center will determine if the bio-artificial liver system designed by Vital Therapies, Inc., is ready to make a difference in the outlook for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure. Although it is decades behind hemodialysis for kidney failure, the bio-artificial liver is finally here – and it could become the Holy Grail of advanced liver disease treatment.

When your business starts to shine on the market, it might be worth considering expanding. There are business owners who make the mistake of staying in the same position, offering the same products and services.
But this is usually a bad idea. You need to keep growing and evolving your business to continuously get the interest that you want. On this post we're going to walk through some easy steps you can take and charter a successful expansion.
Even if your business is profitable, that doesn't mean you'll have the money you need in your accounts for a business expansion. It's probable that you'll have to borrow. Short business loans are the best choice in this situation.
By taking out a short term loan, the interest will be high but that shouldn't bother you. It doesn't take long to expand and that means you'll be able to pay back the money before the interest builds. You should be making more than enough in profits to account for this.
If you're worried about money, speak to an accountant and find where you can cut back and save on costs. They'll help you get your finances in order so that you can expand successfully.
You may want to borrow some money, but ideally you want most of the expense weight to fall on the shoulders of your investors. They should be strong enough to carry it for you, but you may need to attract new interest.
That's why we recommend you attend a tradeshow. Particularly if your expansion ideas are being fueled by a new product or service that you are about to introduce to the market. By attending a trade show you'll grab interest and get the money you need or maybe a few business partners?
You might also need to consider where the trade show is. If you're thinking about expanding to a particular region pick an event in that location.
There are a number of different types of expansion. You might be expanding internationally. Or, you could just be opening a new office or branch in a different location. Either choice can be successful, but you have to choose carefully.
When thinking about where to expand you need to examine the demand for your product. You must make sure that the demand is strong enough to generate profits for your business. Otherwise, you will not be able to pay back the money you borrowed to get to this point.
We also suggest you look for a prime location to set up. You need to be where the action is and it is also advisable to be close to any supply source.
Step 4: Outsource Or Inhouse?
Finally, this is a decision you will have to make. Both choices have advantages. If you are expanding in-house, you will be in complete control of the new business branch. But, if you outsource you'll save a lot of funds and resources.
The decision you make will depend on the type of business you own. For instance, if you work in the industrial sector, outsourcing is certainly beneficial.


Another summer and another superyacht visit here in Victoria BC. This time one of the newest and most exciting superyachts named Cloudbreak has rolled into town. This yacht is basically a globetrotter and is built to handle everything from the sunny seas in the Bahamas to traversing around Norway in the winter. It costs around $1.4M CDN a week to charter which makes it one of the world's most expensive.
Cloudbreak sleeps up to 12 guests within 6 rooms, including a master suite, 3 double cabins and 2 twin cabins. This yacht is also capable of carrying up to 22 crew onboard to ensure a proper luxury yacht experience. This yacht has it all and it was just a treat to see it in person.

A: You don't need to add any custom instrumentation code to your OnStart() method if you deploy a diagnostics.wadcfg file.
The problem lies in the ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg file that contains "DevelopmentStorage=true" -- replace it with your real storage account or make sure that your deployment tool does it.

A: You are trying to write trace lines from RoleEntryPoint object.
The WebRole instance is running in a different process than the process of your application, and therefor the configurations in your web.config are not affecting it.
See this post for more information.
Your can either manually set the diagnostics listener:
public class WebRole : RoleEntryPoint
{
    public override void Run()
    {
        var listener = new Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener();
        Trace.Listeners.Add(listener);
    }
}

Or simply add another config file named WaIISHost.exe.config (Remember to set it's Copy to Output Directory property).
In this answer, I assume that trace printing is working fine for you when you use it in other classes.

Break out those leafy greens, because March 26 is National Spinach Day. Now, I realize that in the grand scheme of food holidays, National Spinach Day doesn't sound that exciting or even that appetizing. But trust me: if you feel that way, it's just because you don't know any really delicious spinach recipes. Because if you did, you would definitely start seeing spinach in a different light, and you would be just as excited for this day as I am.
Spinach is not only really, really good for you (it has fiber! Protein! Vitamins!), it also tastes amazing, and it's incredibly versatile. Seriously, you can add spinach to almost anything you're cooking to make yourself feel healthier, to add some veggies, or just to make something taste better. It can be used as a substitute for lettuce on a sandwich, you can make an entire salad out of spinach, you can add it to your pizza or your omelettes... the possibilities are endless. This list of yummy spinach recipes will prove that point. Make Popeye proud this week, and make at least one of these!


The cylinder head(s) on any water cooled engine has the potential to crack, and Porsche's M96 engine in the 986's & 996's is no exception. The most common reason for this to happen is when an engine significantly overheats, usually due to the loss of coolant. Overheating can be caused by something as simple as a faulty coolant hose, a cracked or broken radiator or coolant reservoir, or a water pump failure. If the driver is not periodically checking the instrument cluster, they might miss a warning light or a dramatic change in the reading on the temperature gauge (if your vehicle has a temperature gauge). When the coolant flow is lost, it doesn't take much time for the engine to get really hot.
When the engine overheats a great deal, the aluminum head material can actually distort in shape due to the combination of the extreme heat and pressure (or torque) being applied to the head by the fasteners that hold it in place. If the head material distorts, even a small amount, cracks in the metal can occur.
With regards to the M96 engine, another issue that can cause cracks in the head is based in the coolant water pump. As the water pump ages, pieces of the internal plastic impeller can break off and these plastic bits will circulate within the cooling system. If these plastic pieces become lodged in the many small coolant passages within the head they could partially to fully obstruct the flow of coolant at that location. The combination of debris and loss of coolant flow can create localized hot spots in the head but can yield the same result, cracks in the head.
Also unique to the M96 engine is the fact that the heads can be cracked by improperly attaching components to them. Incorrect tightening of the valve lifter cradle or the camshaft cover (also known as the valve cover) can cause cracks in the head. The use of a torque wrench and the knowledge of the correct tightening procedure are critical to the repair of this engine.
When cracks develop in the head, a number of symptoms can result depending on where the crack is located. Keep in mind that oil and coolant both circulate inside the head. If cracks develop between oil and coolant passages, the result can be the proverbial "chocolate milkshake" in the coolant, oiling system, or both. This is the result of oil and coolant intermixing together. Additionally, cracks can develop in the cylinder head combustion chamber unnoticeably causing a loss of coolant or oil. It is important that the technician think through all the symptoms to insure a proper diagnosis.
Generally speaking, another problem area can be the head gasket. The head gasket fits between the head and the cylinders. A failed head gasket can also exhibit the same symptoms as a cracked head. The good news here is that head gasket problems on the M96 engine are very rare. That is because Porsche uses a multi-layer steel (also called an MLS) head gasket. This type of gasket is very robust when installed properly.
Keeping the cooling system in top operating condition is critical to the M96 as it is to all water cooled engines. Have the hoses and other cooling system components, including the coolant reservoir and pressure cap, carefully checked at every service. It is important to maintain the proper pH level of the coolant, as with age and exposure to aluminum, the coolant can become more acidic which in turn hastens the demise of the rubber hoses. Flushing and replacing the coolant every 2 to 3 years is recommended as the best way to maintain the correct Ph balance. As for the coolant water pump, replacing it every 5 years or 50,000 miles may be the best defense against these components failing when you are enjoying a nice drive.


Lazy storytelling expects a pass as indie authenticity.
There's a big difference between commenting on the zeitgeist and simply acknowledging it, as this featherweight independent comedy demonstrates.
This is a small film and knows exactly how to be a small film. Like many New Yorker short stories, its purpose is to strike a particular note and allow it to reverberate.
Even at a lean 73 minutes, this flimsy road movie feels at least 43 minutes too long.
Small, Beautifully Moving Parts isn't always completely elegant about getting its point across, but its imperfections are only human - a quality, as Sarah eventually realizes, that can have its own appeal.
"Small, Beautifully Moving Parts" is a tiny, sweet gem.
The film is true to its title: small, beautiful and moving.
Highly agreeable, funny and bright study of a pregnant woman all at sea in a world where wireless options seem to outweigh human ones in her life.
An intimate and well-acted drama about the technological tools in our lives and the quest of a young pregnant woman to reconcile with her long estranged mother.
Gentler and less aesthetically assaultive than 0s & 1s and Catfish, but it's not necessarily any subtler or more enlightening.
Unfortunately, its tale is so slight and simple that it ... fails to say anything particularly poignant about life.
The film would be better if it were gentler. It's broadly written and played, the actors too busy telegraphing their characters' emotions to let us contemplate their faces in peace.
There are no featured reviews for Small, Beautifully Moving Parts at this time.


Zambia injected raison d'etre into a sorry world that views international football with increasing apathy when they won the Cup of Nations last year, and they're now back to defend their title. Part of the joy for Zambians is that their photo-finish triumph didn't come out of the blue. The Chipolopolo (the Copper-headed Bullets) had been running the marathon for six years thanks to the vision of the eminent Kalusha Bwalya; persisting with a studious group of players since the 2006 Cup of Nations, steadily improving tournament-by-tournament, and reaping the rewards for their prudent team-building when and where it mattered most – in Libreville, just miles away from where a plane full of the Zambian national team crashed into the sea in 1993, killing all aboard. Not even a revisionist could deny their happy ending. And their rewards haven't ceased there. Such is the experience omnipresent in the squad - the studious core are set to play in their fifth consecutive Cup of Nations, and only two of them are over 30 - that it's difficult to completely dismiss them as one-hit wonders. For many of their players, playing at these tournaments is second nature. Even the youngest player in the squad, Porto's 19-year-old left-back Emmanuel Mbola, who was in the 2010 Cup of Nations squad, is playing in his second tournament. Zambia aren't prepared to slip away like a pop single on the radio just yet. Eighteen of the twenty-three that were part of the AFCON-winning squad return, and coach Herve Renard still deploys the same starting XI that started in last year's AFCON final in a 4-4-2 formation, morphing into a 4-2-4 when they spring into attack. As with last time around, it's the protean quality in the starting XI that makes the Chipolopolo vehemently venomous. The flexibility of the Zambian players allows Renard to utilise myriad systems, coping with the different questions the opposition poses.
Results wise, Zambia's results have lacked the conviction befitting of champions and have prompted the alarm bells to ring. Since last February, they have lost to Sudan (although it was overturned after Sudan were adjudged to have fielded an ineligible player), South Korea (jet lag was a mitigating circumstance, perhaps), Uganda, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania and Angola. It took penalties in their two-legged play-off qualifier against Uganda, a game in which they were thoroughly outplayed, to qualify. Interestingly, all of Zambia's defeats have come when they have conceded first. All four of their wins have come with a slender single goal margin.
Yet if teams are contemplating the scalp of beating the African champions they'll still have to work very hard to earn their victory. The defence is not a problem. In goal, Kennedy Mweene remains and is still one of Africa's better keepers, but his indulgence when it comes to joining in with the play can be fatal. Centre-back duo Stophira Sunzu and Hichani Himoonde have a superb understanding stemming from club level with TP Mazembe, while Davies Nkausu at right-back and the evergreen Joseph Musonda, the man who was carried onto the pitch by Renard, on the left are both unobtrusively reliable performers. The latter, who is 35, may see his place go to the youngster Mbola.
It's Zambia's attacking game and approach play that may see the 'Copper-headed Bullets' alias give way to 'Cotton-headed Bullets'. Midfielders Isaac Chansa and Nathan Sinkala are trustful foot soldiers, but they offer inadequate poise on the ball. For tactical experts, one of the remarkable statistics to emit from Zambia's triumph was that they kept the lowest percentage of possession out of any side in the tournament. With Zambia no longer an unknown quantity, teams are likelier to play more cautiously against them and patience in possession could be crucial.
Out wide, Chisamba Lungu and Rainford Kalaba will once against be using their flickering flair to open up defences. Fiery skipper Chris Katongo, the player of the tournament at the last Cup of Nations, can play on the wing but usually plays just behind Southampton's Emmanuel Mayuka. Mayuka is talented striker but his poor work-rate results in him often being berated by Renard to get back onside or press the opposition, bad habits which were glaring in his only league start for Southampton this season.
In ex-Pompey man Collins Mbesuma, however, they have a rejuvenated striker who is in insatiable form, a stark contrast to the sluggish striker at the last Cup of Nations. Added quality comes in the form of FC Utrecht striker Jacob Mulenga, who missed last year's Cup of Nations through injury.
Can Zambia retain their title?
It's a tough ask. Renard's words after Zambia's triumph last year couldn't be resonating louder: "We were the best for one tournament but I'm really sure we are not the best team in Africa." They certainly have a far trickier run to, say, the semi-finals this time around. It'd be silly to rule them out due to their experience but the attacking players need to knit all their work together in the tournament.
Renard's first managerial post came at Cambridge United, where he was sacked after winning just four of 25 games. Assistant to Claude Le Roy during Ghana's 2008 Cup of Nations campaign, Renard places a heavy emphasis on the fitness of his players, so much so that previous sides have impudently considered him a fitness coach rather than an outright football coach. Although popular with his players, he isn't afraid of imposing some African-father style discipline to his players, even in public.
Known as 'The Master' to his team-mates, the TP Mazembe winger is arguably the only Zambian attacking player capable of winning the game on his own. His slaloming runs through congested defences will be a much-needed catalyst for the Zambia attack.
If Zambia are not firing on all cylinders, then Sunzu's all-round defending could be crucial. The TP Mazembe centre back doesn't only possess the ability to deliver grandiose performances, but also the ability to contagiously raise the performances of those around him in the process.

Jacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight…
Ryan Adams has always had a rather complicated love-hate relationship with North Carolina, particularly his birthplace of Jacksonville. With me or anyone else, I don't think Jacksonville ever came up in one of Ryan's interviews where he didn't speak of it in disparaging terms. In one of the first interviews I did with him way back when, he called Jacksonville "a dismal town with a military base."
That's of a piece with most of what Ryan has said about it in public over the years. When it came to writing "Losering," Jacksonville didn't figure much into the story beyond being a place Ryan fled the first chance he got. I remember calling up someone who lived down there, asking about local landmarks and getting laughed at.
"Buddy," he said, "this might be as unlandmarky a place as there is."
For all that, however, Ryan's first hometown has also inspired some of his best songs, including "Midway Park" and especially "Jacksonville Skyline" — a gorgeously bittersweet remembrance, and one of my favorites from his Whiskeytown catalog. Jacksonville is not without its virtues, of course, but you just have to look a lot harder to find them. And sometimes, as this lovely and astonishing essay points out, it takes being in a place like Jacksonville to find those virtues within yourself:
Something about this town has brought me to the bottom of myself, to the place I have been avoiding for years, covering up with power yoga and running, volunteering and a second glass of wine…I am discovering that wisdom hides in the most wretched of places, buried deep in the towns with the hopeless streetlights.
But some of the charms of Jacksonville and the rest of Eastern North Carolina are evident if you're willing to take a step back, open your eyes and really look. That's the subject of an exhibit by Anthony Ulinski, a Raleigh painter who used to think the same thing most inlanders do about the territory south and east of the Triangle: that it was nothing more than what you drove through on the way to the beach. But Ulinski has spent the past few years painting landscapes of the seemingly desolate Down East flatlands between the mountains to the west and the beaches to the east. It's literally "The Places In Between," a collection that will be on display in various galleries in North Carolina through this year. You can find a piece I've written about Ulinski and the exhibit in Sunday's News & Observer.

Destiny 2: First Gameplay Details
Play Destiny 2: First Gameplay Details Video
New subclasses, new worlds, and a terrible new threat. It's time to reclaim the City.
DeeJ	Community Manager, Bungie
Hey, PlayStation Nation. At this very moment, we're in Los Angeles for the Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere. It's an exciting time for our studio and the entire community. If you didn't have a chance to tune into the livestream, I'm thrilled to share some of the details.
Destiny 2 will be a brand new adventure — a fresh start for all players. A devastating attack from a new enemy will drive us back into the wild. Every Guardian will need to acquire new weapons and new forms of power if we're to reunite, fight back, and reclaim the City. Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks will have new subclasses with powerful abilities to master.
Your journey will launch you out to the stars. Four new worlds wait for you to discover them, filled with more action than we've ever packed into a Bungie game. The activities that players have loved in Destiny are back, including a Campaign, Strikes, the Crucible, and a new Raid. As part of a streamlined experience driven by a new Director, we're adding new ways to explore these worlds, including Adventures and Lost Sectors that you can enjoy on the fly without returning to orbit.
In between explosive moments of action, Destiny is a game that builds community. If you're the leader of a Clan, you'll find a new set of social tools in the game that will help you recruit new members and build Fireteams. If joining a Clan is not your thing, but you always wanted to find a group to help you embark on a Raid, a new feature we're calling Guided Games will let you team up with Clans for one mission and experience the toughest challenges that Destiny 2 will have to offer!
The PlayStation 4 will be an amazing place to play Destiny 2. Every player on PS4 will have access to exclusive content. We'll tell you all about what awaits you this summer. What we can tell you right now is that, on PS4 Pro, you'll explore the new worlds of Destiny 2 in all their 4K beauty.
There's so much more to say about Destiny 2, but we're off to a good start. We can't wait for you to get a taste of the action yourself in the Beta this summer. In the meantime, check out all the details at www.destinythegame.com.
DeeJ, out.

Is it going to be 60fps finally?
Trendy_Kid
The PC version is going to be 60+, they haven't said anything about the PS4/Pro version yet.
Goku910
Not confirmed….Playstation EU uploaded a trailer that was 60 fps, but the US channel uploaded the same trailer in 30. Who knows at this point.
Jesstival
30 FPS on PS4 console but 4v4 crucible to make the game more in line with competitive eSports. At least with Call of Duty, Battlefield, Battlefront, and Titanfall 2 the 60 FPS mark on consoles makes it play smooth. What do consoles get with Destiny? 30 FPS 4v4 PvP battles. Clearly this is a game meant for the PS Vita.
Jisatsu_Kiddo
found the first wha wha post before it's even out….
Matsudaira
First off, to set the 'scene'. I'm a dedicated Guardian. I've played Destiny almost every day since the Alpha. I've logged over 1,000 hours into your little opus, on PS4 alone — not accounting for the time I've put in on my Xbox One. I've defended your missteps as growing pains when everyone else sh** all over you. I have to say, I'm VERY disappointed you guys went with supporting PC. The community was already split just by the nature of being on two competing platforms with no cross-play compatibility (plus the whole exclusive DLC debacle). Now, you guys have created an even larger rift in the community because you've thrown PC into the mix. I have already lost a large amount of friends that I've made through playing Destiny because of this. This was a very STUPID move on your part, when looking at the repercussions. But I know, business as usual. Who cares about the Guardian alliances you were so quick to praise today on your reveal that are now going to get ruined in the process of padding those wallets just a little bit more, right? In my experience, people that have a PC but play Destiny, played on consoles. This was a completely unnecessary and harmful move against the community. Shame on you guys.
Playstation's youtube used a 60fps trailer. Wouldn't this be considered Misleading…?
All sources seem to point to a 30fps cap on consoles.

Was it 4K60?Cause, it's possible, though unlikely, that the PRO could support 1080p60fps.
I just doubt they'll want this cause of it being online/balanced or some blah blah blah crap…Just give the advantage to the people that pay for it. It's mostly coop anyways. For the PvP, I understand if they'd want to CAP the framerate or whatever. It's just annoying though. Just use all the power that's available to ya.
SkinlessGorgon
Honestly it just looks like more of the same.
Same game, with a lick of paint around the edges.
I think that the went ot make an expansion and decided to market it as a full game.
SO there is cabal, and vex still and your still on earth.
I'm also not sold that there actually is more story, or better story in the game. Cut scenes are great, but they need to expand the story. Action sequence, snarky comment, more action is all well and good, but if it doesn't progress the story then its all flash and no substance.
The reveal didn't make me want to instantly cancel my pre order, but considering how little content there was in Destiny at release, I'm dubious, but I'll pay the beta. If none of my friends are playing then I'll wait for reviews.
Overall it looked like an expansion to the game, not a sequel to the game.
WingerNu1
Your post is weird.
How much do you think Destiny, basically an MMO, dan change? New story, missions, classes, weapons, worlds, and features definitely warrants it being a sequel.
There was a story in the original, and it's easy to see the second will have a much more direct method of telling its story.
Lastly, if you're so apprehensive about the game, why do you have it pre-ordered? Most informed consumers ate apprenhesive about pre-orderibg games they're not sure they'll enjoy.
They have actual changed a lot of the mechanics around and expanded the world. They now have more open world things to do. They now also have clan and looking for group in the game for people like yourself who seem angry at lack of content. Clan quests, PvP is being refined and made classic with 4v4 instead of the horrible 6v6 like the current version.
Trials will be overhauled, Story will be fleshed out and in-game this time. Etc .. Plenty is being done but people like to just complain and begin joining the hate bandwagon.
Xcaligamer1
Solo played here since alpha. Do strikes every now and then. The sentence "Clans are the foundation" scared the crap outta me. Still want to be hyped but not so sure . Oh and 4v4….wtf
*player*
Spronic-
I agree it looks like Destiny 1.5, but I have a strong feeling that the biggest improvements are to the backend. I've read that the first game was very difficult to make adjustments to. Ultimately it wasn't optimized well, I'm really hoping this time it is optimized. Another reason it's on PC, but we shall see, come the beta! I'm excited for that, at least!
Symbiotx
There's so much unnecessary negativity towards Destiny. I'm very excited and can't wait for the beta!
It really does. I never understood it. You would think games that are truly broken and glitch filled(game breaking not "cheese") would get this amount of "hate".
FeistFan
What they didn't tell you….$60 on release day. Then expansion packs every 4-6 months, at $30 each. Minimum $200 in by the end of year 2, minimum, if you buy day 1 of each upgrade – and all but locked out of the best gear if you don't pay to keep up.
Emerald_Swords
I'm fine paying $200 if the game can provide me 50 days of playtime like the first game did.
Radim_cz
Never again …
Gringo234
The diologue is so corny. I'll get this game if it's 30FPS. I can't stand games that run on 60FPS.
RodrigoBrazucaMG
Waiting patiently for an announcement of Destiny 2 PS4 PRO edition like…
Tomoprime
Ah that trailer and storyline is so cliché! Let's hire us some firefly actors. This can't really be Destiny 2? It's too soon.
Welmosca
Wow all I see people worried about is 60fps bs…damn the so called "gamers" we have nowadays.

Mass action is needed to beat the Tories' Trade Union Bill
by Raymie Kiernan
Published Tue 20 Oct 2015
A protest against victimisation at Grangemouth (Pic: Unite the Resistance)
The Tories' intention to ram their Trade Union Bill through parliament was clear last week as the bill reached committee stage.
A committee of MPs took evidence from witnesses. But government consultations on the bill that closed over a month ago are yet to be published.
With a Tory majority the bill is being fast-tracked. This is about boosting the
anti-union laws to further curb the right to strike and undermine industrial action.
Mobilisations against it now, before it is passed, can shape the resistance that can defy the law.
During the committee sessions no Tory MP missed the opportunity to push lies about "intimidation" on picket lines, or "blockades" as they were often referred to.
They cited unsubstantiated assertions from the discredited Carr Review. The review was into accusations of intimidation during the 2013 Grangemouth dispute.
Some union leaders think they can appeal to the better nature of certain Tory MPs and want the TUC mobilisation at parliament on 2 November to simply lobby them.
This would throw away an opportunity to build a militant mobilisation.
But others have different ideas. Salford City Unison union treasurer Ameen Hadi spoke to Socialist Worker in a personal capacity. He said, "We want to see a mass rally outside parliament and make ourselves heard.
"We've had a lot of interest from branch members about travelling to London. There are 22 of us going so far. We are going to protest, not just lobby MPs."
Ameen said that Greater Manchester TUC has also called a local protest against the bill on 6 November. Other areas should do the same. "We're saying no to pay cuts, defend the right to strike, kill the bill," he said.
"This is an attack on all of us, not just trade unionists—the Tories want to make it easier to destroy the welfare state."
There is a mood to resist. More than 150 attended a Midlands TUC and Nottingham People's Assembly meeting against the Bill on Thursday of last week in Nottingham.
Over 200 joined a rally at parliament last week, organised by the Trade Union Coordinating Group.
PCS union general secretary Mark Serwotka argued for mass action.
"We need to make 2 November a massive event," he said. "Organise protests in constituencies. People are never going to need their union like they will soon."
But he also argued that trade unionists using their right to strike is key to beating the Tories.
He said, "We can't just wait until the bill becomes law and be on the defensive. The Tories are depending on that happening.
"They've thrown down the gauntlet—we need effective industrial action now."
