WAY TO HARD TO GET!
If you see it on stock, you must buy it! Believe me, these are too expensive and too exclusive.
Not As good as the others
I read the original Street fighter series (3 comic books) Udon published and was very pleases. This book however is amateur at best. Considering Udon usually draws very good the drawing in this book are awful. They even shoveled in some artists that didn't draw the original comic. The result is that the art varies in style every 2 or 3 pages and looks bad. The story is just a couple of things taken from the actual games (like the SF2 fight between Ryu and Sagat) so you won't be surprised. Sorry but I can't recommend this book.
It was an okay book I wish it would have continued the story but hey. Its a good buy.
Vol 4 is just ok, lousy at times.
Volume 4 is just ok.It is lousy at times.Some of the artwork is similar to that of Vol 1 to 3, but some of the artwork is weird and wacky, and although it is nice as an artform, it takes away from the story itself.The writing is the same as the other volumes since it is the same author/writer.The stories in here are 2 to 4 pages in length, very short.There are a lot of short stories. It kind of fills in the gaps, but in a lousy very quick way.The stories could have been longer.The art bothered me and so did the stories.I was happy with my Vol 1, 2, and 3 purchases, but I wish I could return this for a refund.
GREAT FOR STREET FIGHTER FANS!
This is a great graphic novel for all who love graphic novels and for Street Fighter fans especially.This one really sums up the last 3 novels in short detail, but has some new revealing information regarding the characters backgrounds.Cant wait for the next volume!
I recommend the whole Street Fighter series as I rate the whole series 11 stars out of 10. ... Read more

She is an icon popular in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and to some extent in the West. She came to fame in the early 1990s while she was based in Hong Kong, returning to Beijing around 1996. Her fan base has grown so large and devoted that media in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China often place the title tinhòu (, which literally means Heavenly Queen but usually refers to singers who are widely popular) before her name, while Japanese fans call her "Diva of Asia". An intensely private artist, she is widely popular on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, despite her apparent nonchalance toward the media. According to Guinness World Records, Faye Wong had sold 9.7 million copies of her albums in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as of March 2000, giving her the title of Best Selling Canto-Pop Female. She has acted in several TV shows and films, most memorably in Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express, a role that won her "Best Actress" award at the 1994 Stockholm International Film Festival, and in 2046.

Q: What's the lower and upper bounds of partial sum $\sum_{k = 0}^r k \cdot {n \choose k} \cdot p^k (1 - p)^{n - k}$? I'm trying to find lower and upper bounds for the following two partial sums, respetively:
$$
\sum_{k = 0}^r k \cdot {n \choose k} \cdot p^k (1 - p)^{n - k} \tag{1}\label{eq1}
$$
and
$$
\sum_{k = 0}^r k^2 \cdot {n \choose k} \cdot p^k (1 - p)^{n - k} \tag{2}\label{eq2}
$$
where $r < n$ is fixed and $p > \frac{1}{2}$.
What I've tried.
I have checked this answer which is similar to \eqref{eq1} in this question. To compute the bounds for \eqref{eq1}, we first rewrite it into
$$
(1 - p)^n \cdot \sum_{k = 0}^r k \cdot {n \choose k} \cdot \mu^k  \tag{3}\label{eq3}
$$
where $\mu = \frac{p}{1 - p} > 1$. Then, we can apply the the given answer by considering the ratio
$$
\frac{k{n \choose k} \mu^k}{r{n \choose r} \mu^r} = \frac{k}{r} \cdot \frac{(n - r)! r!}{(n - k)! k!} \cdot \mu^{k - r} = \frac{(n - r)! (r - 1)!}{(n - k)! (k - 1)!} \cdot \mu^{k - r}. \tag{4}\label{eq4}
$$
But it is quite diffcult for me to bound \eqref{eq4} using Stirling's formula. I face the same difficulty in dealing with \eqref{eq2}. I have checked the paper cited in the answer but it did not help.
It would be appreciated if someone could give me any hint to bound the two partial sums.

International Solidarity with the Catalan people's right to self-determination
Europe International Statements
The Catalan people have been demonstrating massively for their independence. About one million people mobilised this 11 September in the Diada (traditional national holiday of Catalonia) to support the country's independence and establish a republic. The Catalan Parliament approved the call for a referendum on self-determination so that it is the Catalan people who decide whether to be independent. The Catalan government set it up for next 1 October.
The overwhelming manifestation of support makes up a clear response to the monarchical regime that tries by all means to prevent the consultation. The President of the Spanish Government, Mariano Rajoy (Popular Party), with the support of the social-democratic PSOE and Ciudadanos [Citizens], and the Constitutional Court of the Spanish State — with the approval of the Spanish monarchy — have warned that they will not tolerate the referendum and have announced a series of repressive measures to prevent it. There have been arrests, searches and seizures of materials, prohibition of political rallies, suspensions and takeovers of Catalan institutions, threat of imprisonment and political disqualification for the main positions of Parliament (including its president, Carme Forcadell) and the government of Catalonia; criminal proceedings against those who collaborate with the referendum (whether institutions or persons); etc. They threaten to arrest 750 Catalan mayors for supporting the referendum. These are reprehensible facts.
We defend the right of the oppressed peoples and nations (Scotland, Kurdistan, Euskadi or Catalonia) to self-determination and independence if they so choose. A Republic in Catalonia would open a way for other peoples and nations to end this anachronistic monarchist regime imposed at the end of Franco's rule. This democratic struggle is part of a more fundamental struggle for the implementation of an economic plan at the service of workers and other popular sectors, the suspension of foreign debt payments to meet the urgent needs of the people and the break with the bankers and multinationals of the Spanish State and the European Union. This is why the revolutionary socialists will fight for that republic to be of and for the workers, towards a Federation of Socialist Republics.
On this path, today we defend the democratic right to hold on 1 October, with no legal interference or repression from the regime and monarchy, the referendum called to decide freely for independence.
From the International Workers Unity – Fourth International (IWU-FI), we call for the peoples of the world solidarity with the struggle of the Catalan people for the right to decide freely on their future and the relations they want to establish with the Spanish State.
We vigorously reject and demand an end to the repressive and judicial measures aimed at intimidating and preventing the free exercise of national self-determination by the Catalan people in the 1 October referendum.
We call on trade union, student, political, human rights, and anti-imperialist and left-wing organisations to carry out and coordinate unitary actions to support the Catalan people, especially in front of embassies or consulates of the Spanish state.

EA Announces November 20 Launch Date for Battlefield V; Updates Fiscal Year 2019 Expectations
Revised Outlook Driven by New Battlefield V Launch Date, Foreign Exchange Rates, and a Revised Mobile Forecast
Thursday, August 30, 2018 5:30 am PDT
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.
NASDAQ:
"We're updating our fiscal year guidance to reflect the updated launch date for Battlefield V, the ongoing impact of foreign exchange rate changes, and our current outlook for our mobile business"
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that it is revising its net bookings outlook for fiscal year 2019, driven by an update to the Battlefield™ V launch date, the continuing impact of foreign exchange rates, and a revised mobile forecast.
"We believe we've got one of the best Battlefield games ever coming in Battlefield V," said Laura Miele, Chief Studios Officer, Electronic Arts. "Tens of thousands of players have been hands on with the game so far, and we've been honored to receive best multiplayer awards at E3 and Gamescom. We've had valuable feedback from our community, and we're going to take the time to make some final adjustments and deliver a great experience for our fans."
"We're updating our fiscal year guidance to reflect the updated launch date for Battlefield V, the ongoing impact of foreign exchange rate changes, and our current outlook for our mobile business," said COO and CFO Blake Jorgensen. "Our core businesses, including FIFA Ultimate Team, are strong, we think our players are going to love Battlefield V, and excitement is building for our new IP, Anthem."
More details regarding the Battlefield V launch date change are provided by DICE General Manager Oskar Gabrielson in the blog posting at www.ea.com/news.
Business Outlook as of August 30, 2018
Moving the launch of Battlefield V out by four weeks will enable EA to deliver the best possible experience for gamers but will push some net bookings out of fiscal year 2019 and into fiscal year 2020. In addition, EA has revised its expectations for its mobile business. Finally, as discussed on EA's July 26, 2018 earnings call, foreign exchange rates have moved significantly since EA initially gave fiscal year 2019 guidance in May. EA's management now considers it prudent to include this impact in EA's revised guidance.
As a result, EA is updating fiscal year 2019 net bookings guidance from $5.55 billion to $5.20 billion. About $115 million of this change is driven by the movement in foreign exchange rates. However, the same movement in foreign exchange rates also drives operating expenses lower, and this, combined with our hedging program, significantly limits the impact of foreign exchange rates on net income.
While we expect to maintain investments in R&D and marketing, there will be operational savings to operating expenses. EA estimates this to be approximately $50 million, excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates discussed above and stock-based compensation.
Core businesses, including our EA SPORTS™ games, Ultimate Team™, and our deep catalog of games, are expected to continue their strong operational performances.
EA is reaffirming its second quarter operating guidance provided on July 26, 2018.
EA is currently evaluating the impact that these developments will have on EA's fiscal year GAAP guidance and quarterly phasing of net bookings, and will provide that information on EA's next earnings call. Actual results may be materially different and can be affected by many factors detailed in this release and in EA's annual and quarterly SEC filings.
EA will announce its results for the second fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 on October 30, 2018 and will host a conference call at 2:00 pm PT (5:00 pm ET) to discuss the results.
Some statements set forth in this release, including the information relating to EA's fiscal year 2019 expectations under the heading "Business Outlook as of August 30, 2018," contain forward-looking statements that are subject to change. Statements including words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" or "expect" and statements in the future tense are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are preliminary estimates and expectations based on current information and are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or actual future results to differ materially from the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors which could cause the Company's results to differ materially from its expectations include the following: sales of the Company's titles; the Company's ability to develop and support digital products and services, including managing online security and privacy; the Company's ability to manage expenses; the competition in the interactive entertainment industry; the effectiveness of the Company's sales and marketing programs; timely development and release of Electronic Arts' products; the Company's ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; the consumer demand for, and the availability of an adequate supply of console hardware units; the Company's ability to predict consumer preferences among competing platforms; the Company's ability to develop and implement new technology; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; general economic conditions; and other factors described in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018.
These forward-looking statements are current as of August 30, 2018. While Electronic Arts believes these estimates are meaningful, they could differ from the actual amounts that
Electronic Arts ultimately reports.

If you spend any amount of time researching ultralight backpacking companies, you're going to come across the company Z Packs and for good reason. They've become a staple of long distance backpackers over the past decade and continue to push the boundaries of what ultralight backpacking is.
I have Will and Matt from Z Packs join me for this episode of The By Land Podcast to talk about Z Packs; what they offer, how they go about designing gear, and what is important to them as people making gear for other backpackers. These two guys have been around the company for a lot of years and have a ton of great stuff to share with you about the company.
It was an honor to have the opportunity to spend an hour talking with a couple of great guys who just want to do good things for people headed out on adventures. Will and Matt offer a history lesson on how ultralight backpacking came to be, suggestions on gear, and some insight into what is coming down the pipe for Z Packs in the future. You're going to love hearing what these two gentlemen have to say!
The future of Z Packs! What's coming!

Switch & Signal Game Review
The Little Engine That Could
Andrew Holmes
Read Meeple Mountain's Switch & Signal review and find out whether this rare cooperative train game delivers the goods on time or hits the buffers!
There's a curious absence of trains in the tabletop landscape.
Oh sure, there's an entire genre known as 'train games' but rarely do trains themselves make an appearance, abstracted away to focus on route building and stock holding. It's all train talk and no train trousers.
Take Ticket to Ride. Alan R. Moon's runaway success features beautiful train drawings and colourful plastic carriages but it's all just set dressing. As the London, Amsterdam and San Francisco versions show, the game works just as well replacing the trains with cars, carts or cable cars.
It's the same story for most of the almost 1,500 train games listed on BoardGameGeek. The Brass games manage to beautifully illustrate the rise of rail with nary a train in sight, the trains of Mini Rails are too shrunk to see, the Railroad Ink series has more cacti than trains, deck-builder Trains is misleadingly titled, Traintopia's vanishingly few trains are entirely static, and Empyreal: Spells & Steam's trains are as fictional as it's magic. My colleague Justin Bell would have you believe that Imperial Steam is a train game, but he'd have better luck suggesting Maglev Metro where at least the trains exist and interact with the rails they're supposed to be hovering over.
I could go on.
The more seriously a train game wants to be taken, the less 'essence of train' it contains. In fact, one of the best and truest train games of all is the not-at-all-serious Colt Express. The titular train is ostensibly just a stage for the bustling bandit action, but the game understands that trains move from place to place, affecting and affected by what's on and around them.
In contrast, most board games assume that trains instantly move from station to station in one magical moment. No timetables, no other trains getting in the way and certainly no leaves on the line. It's all rather dissatisfying.
Enter Switch & Signal.
Switch & Signal is a cooperative board game for two to four players that is all about trains. It is, in fact, the trainiest of modern train games. It's also rather good.
Your goal is to deliver goods by train to one of the port cities – Marseilles on the Europe side of the board or San Francisco and New York on the USA side. You start with three trains of varying speeds and between every turn a 'departure card' is flipped to introduce more trains and/or move trains on the board. How far those trains travel depends on their type but also on the roll of custom dice – you know the range of each train but not precisely how far it'll move.
On your turn, you play 'action cards' to move trains, turn signal lights to green, and switch… um… switches. The game ends after 17 turns and you lose if you've not delivered all the goods by then (and win if you have). There are a few single use special abilities and some variants included in the box to increase/decrease the challenge, but in terms of how to play the game that's about it. As always, how to play well is where it gets interesting.
You face problems everywhere. The board is littered with tracks, signals and switches and there could be up to nine trains of three different speeds on the rails, any or all of which might move before the next player takes a turn. Express trains don't have to move far before a switch, signal or another train blocks their way, costing you time tokens and potentially shortening the game by a turn. The slow trains are easier to manage but you don't have time to waste card after card chivvying them along all game.
Nothing is complicated, but mentally juggling all the spatial information, the probabilities of train movement and the card types in your hand and around the table is enjoyably taxing. When you're doing well there's a lovely rhythm to the game, but your plans could be derailed at any time.
Destination Childhood
Trains have character. They're a blend of independence and barely-contained force; intoxicating, free and dangerous. Ride the rails and you can feel the rhythmic beating of the train's heartbeat thrumming through your body. It's why people fall in love with trains, why people become spotters and buffs, foamers and ferroequinologists.
Switch & Signal understands this. It understands that trains are little more than programmed chaos. The dice spur your trains further than expected, sending them down dead ends or crashing into other trains. Or your trains don't move far enough, blocking tracks or not quite clearing switches you were about to change. Those card flips stir trains into action before you're ready, exiting cities in the wrong direction and without the goods you were about to load. Trains appear on the board in the most awkward of places, or are unable to appear on the board because you've not managed to move the train currently blocking that starting location.
It's less a game of conducting obedient machines and more like herding wilful toddlers, hoping that they'll listen to you this time.
It's this relationship with randomness, probabilities and a hazy sense of control that brings Switch & Signal to life. Other than a very occasional frustrating die roll, it's hard to feel bitter about the role that chance plays in the game. Every mistake happens because you either didn't spot the possibility of impending disaster or you saw it, but chose to put out the fire over there instead, banking on having another turn before the sparks caught over here.
It's a game that builds early, creating peaks of excitement and satisfaction that repeatedly spike the fat middle of the game. When Switch & Signal is at its best (and it's often at its best) there's enough happening on the board that you can't quite keep everything in your head at once and enough momentum to keep you barrelling along regardless, pushing the limits of a furious engine that might explode at any minute.
As a kid I had a wooden Brio set. My trains were always approaching junctions at the same time, the goal being for the trains to pass one another in thrilling near misses (with the occasional even more thrilling collision). Thirty years later I'm playing the same games with my kids, using the same Brio track that my parents kept in the hope of grandchildren. The narrow escapes we set up with their new motorised trains delight the kids. If I'm honest, they still tickle me too.
Switch & Signal mines this seam of joy. It lets me combine the adult satisfaction of efficiency and optimisation with the pleasure my inner child gets from last-minute route changes and close shaves.
Leaves on the Line
Not every train arrives on time, however. Those between-turn 'destination cards' normally produce a nicely paced game but can also result in periods where few trains emerge. It's uncommon (perhaps one game in five) but there's nothing you can do to prompt new trains to be deployed and an unlucky shuffle results in a sluggish start or slows mid-game momentum. Generally, there's enough happening either side of those moments to make up for it (and you can save cards in hand to produce deeply satisfying mega-turns), but shunting only one or two trains about for a few turns on the trot is pretty dull. When you consider that in a four-player game you might only get four turns, a quarter of those being a bit humdrum is frustrating.
With the game at full tilt, it's unlikely a single player will spot every impending disaster on the board. It makes team strategising great because when you propose a plan, someone else will inevitably point out something you've missed. Provided that any quarterbacks have been benched it's a lovely team game, although it's possibly best with just two or three players allowing you to have those conversations as well as a decent number of turns.
At its very best, Switch & Signal ramps the pressure up quickly and maintains that momentum throughout the game. Games tend to be close – winning or losing within a turn or so of the end. But the final result is generally known a couple of turns in advance, barring a particularly lucky or unlucky die roll. Regardless of the outcome, it makes the ending a bit of an anti-climax, all that momentum and energy dissipating as your train glides smoothly into the terminal station.
None of those little blemishes combine to create an ugly game, they're more like the tiny imperfections that give a face character.
It isn't a face that's particularly flashy or grand. In today's tabletop landscape Switch & Signal feels modest even. It's a breath of fresh air from an earlier era when games weren't striving to break the BoardGameGeek Top 100 but instead aimed to provide families and friends with an hour's solid entertainment. Even the variants included in the box are just that – small, subtle tweaks that don't dramatically change the core experience but are gratefully received all the same.
Switch & Signal gets the green light: quick to play, easy to learn, intuitively thematic and with an ever-changing puzzle at its core. When it builds a full head of steam, it manages to be teasingly playful whilst keeping you on your toes throughout. It's up there with the very best of the simple cooperative games, such as the Forbidden series, Pandemic, Hogwarts Battle, Horrified, Zombie Kidz Evolution, Castle Panic and Escape: The Curse of the Temple.
Switch & Signal is a rare 'train game' that is, for once, about trains and it makes that a good experience for pretty much everyone. Whilst it isn't completely flawless, it absolutely delivers the goods on time!

Hi everyone! Today, Andi and I decided to get a little dressed up. My dress is currently 40% off. Andi scored her dress from TJ Maxx. Our theme of the day? The classic combo of floral and gold!
My dress is by a design by BB Dakota, which you can find online and, thankfully, at Nordstrom, which is pretty close to my house. We're officially less than a week away for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access! I can't wait! If you aren't already, make sure you become a cardholder . You can either apply for a credit card, or just signup with your own debit card and still get points and member benefits, like early access to the sale.
Floral and gold is such a classic combination and really creates this type of classicly glam, vintage-inspired look that's on-trend right now.
Andi's dress is a beautiful metallic gold polka dot dress that is as subtle as it is stunning in my opinion! Keeping with gold accessories, like her cute bow headband, really brought her little look together!
I am amazed by how much she changes everyday. She loves clapping, singing, dancing and just having fun. I am so lucky to be her mommy. I am hoping to share some photos of Andi with her sister, Angelique, soon!

CHINA / Regional
Linguist criticizes 'blind worship' of English
By Zhang Yu (China Daily)
A linguistics expert has claimed Shanghainese are overusing the English language.
"It's a blind worship of the English language,"said Pan Wenguo, dean of Chinese as a Foreign Language School at East China Normal University, at a conference held Monday to commemorate the 20th anniversary of promoting Putonghua, or Mandarin.
He added the business sector was particularly responsible for the trend, claiming many people used English "more for following others blindly than for practical needs."
Pan said up to one-third of Chinese are studying or have studied English, while the number of English learners in Shanghai is even higher.
"English is not bad in itself, but the present mania of learning English is really too much,"said Pan.
Last Sunday, more than 50,000 Shanghai locals sat the English Interpreter Test of middle to high levels, an increase of 20 per cent on last year.
The t ime set a side for English learning has been on the rise for students at various levels. Even first graders in Shanghai primary schools are widely required to spend time studying the English alphabet.
"To be frank, I hate to learn English, but I have to study it well, or else I will not have the chance to find a good job in the market after I graduate next year," said Deng Liang, who studies international relations at Tongji University. "I spent most of my time in college studying various types of English textbooks, though English is not my major."
In the increasingly competitive job market, the English Certificate has become one of the most important qualifications employees look for, ranking only behind diplomas.
Many employers, especially in the business sector, tend to hire only people with good English communication abilities.
"Now, nearly every good company, including domestic ones, requires candidates to have good English, not to mention multinationals," sighed Deng, who told China Daily that she will soon attend an English training course to improve her oral English.
"It's common practice for us to communicate with each other in English when we are at work since my boss is an Australian; we write in English in e-mails and speak English in meetings," said Zhou Lili, a 30-year-old woman working for a foreign company in Shanghai.
Zhou is just one among thousands of people who use English in their daily office work in Shanghai. Yu Yi, a renowned educator in Shanghai,said the Chinese language was becoming endangered due to the growing importance attached by schools to English lessons. "Foreign languages are important, but should not be more important than Chinese, our mother tongue,"she said.
