Kevin Thielenhaus / Features / Division 2, Guides, PC, PS4, Tom Clancy's The Division 2, Xbox One /
The Division 2 can be overwhelming in your first hours. There's a lot of content here — tons of skills, loads of loot — it's a whole lot of information dumped into your custom agent's lap. There's so much stuff, you might miss out on important features that the game doesn't really explain.
Here, I'm going to reveal how some of these systems work. Whether it's removable weapon mods, XP perks, cosmetics, or loot locations, I'll list the most useful tips I've found in the game so far. We're not touching any of the awesome endgame content yet, basically. This guide is for beginners to the franchise. Heck, even if you're a veteran, there's a few wrinkles to the first game's formula you might not know about.
Get your gear equipped and your weapon ready, agent. It's time to civilize a lawless Washington D.C.

1: Create Multiple Characters To Unlock More Cosmetics
Cosmetics in The Division 2 are account-bound, that means all your cool cosmetic gear is shared between all your characters on one account.
If you want to get lots of different outfits right away and swap between them, all you have do to is make multiple characters and select alternate duds in the character creator. Then you'll be able to use everything, whenever you want! Fancy, huh?
2: Look For Loot Caches Behind Locks & Hanging From Trees
There's even more valuable loot to hunt down in The Division 2 — but finding it can be tricky sometimes. You'll want to search anywhere that's just slightly off the beaten path, and some areas you might not even realize are accessible. Look for big yellow locks on doors or fences; you can actually shoot those off. You'll almost always find an armor crate, a weapon crate, and more miscellaneous loot inside.
Don't forget to look up while you're exploring too. Sometimes you'll be able to spot crates just hanging from trees or light poles. Shoot them down to collect.

Clarence J. Roberts (October 21, 1873 – January 27, 1931) was a justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court from January 10, 1912 until his retirement on January 21, 1921.

Born in Jefferson County, Indiana, in 1892 Roberts began reading law in the Madison, Indiana office of attorney Perry E. Bear. Roberts gained admission to the bar in Indiana in 1894, at the relatively young age of 21, and in 1899 was elected county attorney of Jefferson County. Roberts remained in that office until 1905, then moved to Colfax County, New Mexico, in 1907, and was elected as a Republican to the New Mexico House of Representatives in 1909. He was appointed to the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court by President William Howard Taft in 1910, and then elected to the court following New Mexico's admission to statehood, taking office as chief justice in January 1912. After serving in that capacity for five years, Roberts was reelected to an eight-year term as an associate justice on the court in 1917, but resigned in 1921 to return to private practice. He then pursued various business ventures, obtaining substantial real estate holdings in the state.

Roberts died following a bout of indigestion following a period of several years of declining health.

Get To Know Lydia
By Candace McDuffie on March 25, 2014
Lydia may be riding high on their front-to-back Illuminate tour, which managed to sell out Boston's Brighton Music Hall last week. But moments before this particular performance, the backstage band area seemed more frenzied than festive.
If the boys weren't being shuffled between interviews, they were having their brains picked about the placement of van keys in order to avoid getting a parking ticket. But by the time they sat down with Performer, they somehow managed to excavate smiles that traveled from ear to ear. Newcomers Matt Keller and Justin Camacho seemed genuinely excited to talk about their time on the road. But Leighton Antelman, Lydia's frontman and the last original member of the band, was more reserved in demeanor and stoic with his responses. He lightens up, though, when he senses all of the jovial vibes.
"The tour has been really incredible—every night the room is always full." He slowly unravels when pressed about the timing of this tour. "We've been wanting to do [an Illuminate tour] for a while, and we finally found the time to properly do it. We've been overseas, we were in Australia. But the fans have waited long enough." Between Camacho's admission as an inherent homebody and Keller's proud declaration of his ability to 'shred a mean solo,' Antelman continues to lay on the introspect. Honestly, it may shock some of his most devoted fans.
"Illuminate is just another record I did that hit heavier with fans—I don't really have a personal connection with it. I don't hold it higher than any record I've done." As everyone winds down and prepares for a show that promises to be unforgettable, our lead vocalist reminds us that he's a musician first, civilian second. "I'm constantly writing songs—it's highly addictive." Then, out of nowhere, he becomes wistful for a split second. "Hopefully, I'll take some time off soon and explore the songs and ideas I've been working on."

The Most Shocking Movie at Cannes This Year Is Staying Vertical
A bizarre comedy about . . . lots of things has audiences at Cannes buzzing.
By Richard Lawson
Courtesy of Thierry Valletoux
One goes to Cannes for many things. To be moved, to be inspired, to be shown something new. One also goes to Cannes, on occasion, to be shocked. It being a French festival, one full of daring, unsettling art, Cannes usually has at least one film every year that leaves critics, journalists, and civilian audience members wide-eyed and agape, staggering out into the Riviera sun (or, in this year's case, rain) after its first screening. Last year it was Gaspar Noé's soft-to-medium-core Love, with its frank sexuality and 3-D, uh, money shots. This year, at least so far, the holy-shit movie seems to be Staying Vertical, a French oddity from director Alain Guiraudie. Ostensibly a comedy about writer's block, Staying Vertical offers much more than that. Like, much more.
Which shouldn't be a surprise, really. Three years ago, Guiraudie's beguiling thriller Stranger by the Lake premiered in a sidebar at Cannes, titillating audiences with its gay sex, including an ejaculation scene. (The film somehow still received a small U.S. theatrical release.) So he's good at raising eyebrows (and other parts?). But I don't think anyone expected the variety of startling images in Staying Vertical, a movie that unravels in a fashion reminiscent of Charlie Kaufman, only with a decidedly Euro twist.
What exactly is so shocking in Staying Vertical, which is about a writer (Damien Bonnard) struggling to finish a screenplay while involving himself in the lives of various rural French folk? Well, let's list them.
There are the lingering close-ups of genitalia, which have an admirable directness to them (the shots, not necessarily the genitalia—though, those too); particularly because Guiraudie, who is gay, seems to be investigating female anatomy that he doesn't (presumably) have much experience with. Though, I suppose you could also read his vaginal fascination as an off-putting bit of body horror. Or maybe it's something in between, part horror and part reverence.
Which brings us to the graphic, unblinking birth scene, in which we see a baby, conceived by the writer and a sad shepherdess he meets, emerge—blue and covered in goo—into the world, no drop of fluid or feces spared. That long shot is followed by a quick cut to a clean, beaming, swaddled baby, a jolting and oddly moving reminder that we all share the same messy beginnings.
There's an ending in Staying Vertical, too. If you don't want to be spoiled about a major plot point in this erratic (but effective? I think?) film, stop reading now. Otherwise, let's press on. The writer sort of befriends a cranky old man—after hitting on the pretty young man who lives with the old guy as a caretaker/maybe lover—who eventually falls ill and decides he wants to die. So, he takes a little suicide cocktail, and then, as a grand final act, is sodomized by the writer as he dies. We see the writer's (rather large) erect penis, and then the two go at it, both nude and uncovered by sheets, until the old man is dead. It's . . . quite a scene, especially considering it's set to some rowdy Pink Floyd guitar licks.
Staying Vertical is full of surprising images, some lyrical and poetic, others stark and depressing, but I'm not sure the film really coalesces into something that justifies all that shock and awe. Guiraudie has a lot of topics on his mind—the writing life, the curious rhythms of parenting, the lonely beauty and fading traditions of agrarian France—and at times he blends all these topics together into something arresting and provocative. But Staying Vertical is so studiously strange, so mannered in its offbeat-ness, that it strains what little connective tissue there is. Guiraudie's film is more a collage of bizarre set pieces than cohesive narrative. I'll have to think about this one some more before I can really make sense of it. Which is perfectly fine—welcome, even. What better place to contemplate birth, death, and anal elder sex but on the Croisette?

The Iron Lady – Review
Director: Phyllida Lloyd. Writer: Abi Morgan. Cast: Meryl Streep, Jim Broadbent.
What could have been an insightful, challenging and even controversial film about one of the most loved/hated politician of the twentieth century, instead ends up being just an empty vessel for Meryl Streep to showcase once again that she's Oscar worthy! As if we didn't know that already… The most Oscar nominated living actress in history really does indeed become the British Prime Minister in the "Iron Lady". Unfortunately Meryl alone is not enough to lift an otherwise flat and quite superficial biopic.
Some may argue that sometimes her performance veers slightly too much towards parody, but that's mainly a problem with the staging and the direction of the film itself.
"The Iron Lady" is trying too hard to please everyone that in the end it just disappoints everyone. It wants to be too much like "The King's Speech" (there's even a scene which feels lifted directly from it, where Margaret Thatcher is rehearsing her voice… I was waiting for her to stammer at any point), but here the baggage behind the main character is just too big and edgy to get away with such lightness. Margaret Thatcher is a complex character with an even more complex life: to try to reduce it and compress it all into a film of less than 2 hours is a tough task and "The Iron Lady" suffers from trying to do it. Major events like the Falklands war, or the miners'strike, are given just a few minutes and it all ends up feeling a little bit like reading a page from Wikipedia: yes, all the facts are there, but it all feels a little bit too superficial… And a film about Margaret Thatcher should be anything but superficial.
The film is structured through a series of flashbacks as it also try to give a more intimate portrait of the old Prime Minister in her first stages of Alzheimer. This is probably the most revealing and poignant part of the film (though not without its problems too). Once again Meryl manages to step above the mannerism and the caricature and brings some unexpected humanity into her character as the so-called iron lady becomes now more like an old rusty iron lady or worse a paper-thin weak old woman (with the aid of some impressive make-up. The people behind the make-up in J.Edgar should watch and learn!!): her performance as an old woman is something to wonder at!
However the film doesn't quite know what to do with all this material and all the characters around Mrs Thatcher. Are we supposed to like this controversial and yet influential British politician? Are we really meant to feel sorry for her? What is it try to tell us by showing the Iron Lady as a weak old woman stricken by illness? It's all rather too easy to be controversial, and too thin to be thoughtful, too friendly to be considered seriously.
In the end all we are left is a marvellous performance for a film that doesn't quite deserve it.

A real moviegeek or a tired old cynic?
Some of you have pointed out that in the last few months it seems like I was disappointed by most of the stuff I saw in the cinema.
This came just at the time when I was about to choose which film to review next, of the ones I've seen in the last couple of days: "The Roommate" (A thriller, which is usually a genre I love), "the extraordinary adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec" (By Luc Besson who made La Femme Nikita and leon, 2 of my favourites ever!), or "Hachi" (By the director of one of the film I love the most, What's eating Gilbert Grape)… And you know what?! I really didn't like any of them!
It made me think: when did I become such a cynic?
It is so unlike me… I've always been the positive one, the smiley person who tries to look for bright side…
I love going to the movies and there's nothing I cherish more than loosing myself in a good flick.
Whenever I go and watch something, I'm always hoping this might be the one that makes me go back to being a kid, or makes me cry or laugh with tears in my eyes, or forget about my deadlines at work and my worries at home…
The fact that I have not liked a lot films recently is probably indicative of the way cinema is today. Most of these films are just products": they are made by a committee of advertisers, or people who need to balance their books at the end of the year.
There are very few mavericks, or real storytellers out there… Most of them prefer to play it safe and give us what their recent surveys told them they should give us.
Or is it me who is just getting pickier and pickier? Why do I seem to be the only one who thought "The King's Speech" was a pretty average film crowd pleaser?
Why didn't I like Scream 4, when in fact it did exactly what the "tin" said?
Should I have got lost in the colours of "Rio", forgetting about the fact that the story line was so damn predictable?
Why wasn't I swept away by the quirkiness of "Rubber"?
Why was I so cold in front of that tragedy that was "Rabbit hole"?
Why couldn't I just laugh watching "The Dilemma" while everybody else was in tears around me in the theatre?
Why couldn't I just go with "The Adjustment Bureau", instead of looking for all the plot holes?
Why wasn't I enchanted by Submarine?
And why am I more terrorized than excited by the idea of the forthcoming Tintin movie by Spielberg (a director I love making a film about my ultimate childhood hero?) … Why am I so afraid I'll be disappointed?
Am I growing old and just tired of movies or are there just fewer and fewer fresh good things our there?

Oscar Winners 2011
The Academy Awards ceremony is over and the statuettes have been given all away exactly to who we thought might win… Once again, Oscar disappoints in originality, courage, boldness, and predictability reigned. But in most cases what was to be expected was also the best available choice.
If you really asked me Toy Story 3 should have won and Christopher Nolan should have been recognized at least as a screen-writer, or even better as a director for what was one of the most inventive and original film of the year: Inception. Instead the Academy opted for the most obvious Tom Hooper: his directing on "The King's Speech" was showy, obvious, by number and lacked of any subtlety (you can see read my review, which was written long before the film even got released).
Is this guy really worthy of standing in the same league as Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Peter Jackson, Roman Polanski,Oliver Stone, Milos Forman, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Wise, George Cukor, Billy Wilder, Martin Scorsese, Vincente Minnelli, David Lean, John Ford, Michael Curtiz, just to mention a few?
And yes, of course, Colin Firth was good, but was he really better than James Franco in 127 hours, a film that was entirely dependent on him stuck in a hole? No, he wasn't. However he deserved the Award last year for "A Single Man" and even Colin himself knows that (that's why he thanked Tom Ford in his speech).
The Social Network, even though that too was a flawed movie, felt more like a solid piece of film-making.
Well, you can obviously tell I am a bit disappointed…. Oh well, that's the way it is. The King's Speech joins the list of Oscar winner crowd-pleasing films, like Shakespeare in Love or Crash, Ordinary People, Driving Miss Daisy and so on. Films that found themselves at the right time in the right place and got away with winning (Let's face it, even the Hurt Locker last year). Not bad ones, but not that great either.
On the whole this was one of the lamest show in the last few years. James Franco was under-used and Anne Hathaway she felt stiff and was confined by a silly, bitty, and unfunny script.
There was nothing remarkable about the show itself: no glamour, no drama, no surprises… It makes me wonder whether I should have gone to bed earlier and watch the highlights tomorrow…
Few nice moments but that's about it, just nice: Natalie Portman's speech, Colin's Speech (though he has been better before), Melissa Leo cursing and droppping the "F" bomb at one point (hahaha), Christian Bale showing that he has got a heart and that nerd guy who got the Oscar for the short film who said "I should have got a haircut".
On the whole a pretty forgettable show, with very forgettable hosts.
Here's the list of all the winners and some comments:
The King's Speech – WINNER
Tom Hooper – The King's Speech – WINNER
Colin Firth – The King's Speech – WINNER
Natalie Portman – Black Swan – WINNER
Beautiful performance and a well deserved Oscar.
Christian Bale – The Fighter – WINNER
A very showy performance, but still a good one. Also Christian redeemed himself for all the bad he did, by getting moved and giving a nice speech.I just hope that beard is there for some reason!
Melissa Leo – The Fighter – WINNER
I knew it the moment I saw the fighter.
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
In a Better World – Denmark – WINNER
I haven't seen this yet, but it's winning awards left and right… I'm getting curious.
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
David Seidler – The King's Speech – WINNER
Yawn… How predictable… Poor Nolan
BEST ANIMATION
Toy Story 3 – WINNER
Was there any other choice? This should have got the Best feature film too!!
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Aaron Sorkin – The Social Network – WINNER
Well, of course.
Alice in Wonderland – WINNER
mmm.. Not so sure, really. A tilted tree is really not enough for getting an Oscar. But then again, it was the easiest and laziest choice.
Inception – WINNER
This was a surprise, but a very welcome one. It was certainly a harder film to light that True Grit. However Rogers Deakins will have to win sooner or later.
BEST SOUND MIXING
BEST SOUND EDITING
Both this and the previous award are very very hard to differentiate for me, so it's good to see them going to the same film.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG
We Belong Together (from Toy Story 3) by Randy Newman – WINNER
20 nominations for Randy Newman and this is only his second win. Also it brings the Oscar count to "2" for this wonderful film, so I'm just happy for it.
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
The Social Network – Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross – WINNER
The most original score for sure. Totally deserved!!
The only redeeming feature of that film.
BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
Inside Job – WINNER
Pity for "Exit through the gift shop" which was an extremely entertaining doc (and it would have been good to see who would have collected the award). But this one was clearly a better one.
BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT
Strangers No More – WINNER
BEST FILM EDITING
The Social Network – WINNER
Clearly this was some of the best edited film (especially if you've seen the special feature on the DVD). 127 Hours was a more flashy one and slightly more interesting, but they say that the best editing is the invisible one.
BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM
The Lost Thing – WINNER
BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
God of Love – WINNER
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS
Well, was there really anything else?
BEST MAKE-UP
The Wolfman – WINNER
A lazy Award. I'm sure voters just saw Baker's name and voted for him. The film was rubbish and in fact it's impossible to tell what was make-up and what was CGI (including the clip that was shown during the show)
To conclude, the only thing I am pleased about is that a little film like The King's Speech once again follows the a trend set in the last couple of years whereby small, indie movies do better than Hollywood biggies… But hey, they could have done the same thing just by rewarding "Black Swan" or "Blue Valentine" or even "Animal Kingdom".

Alice in Wonderland – Review
Directed by Tim Burton. Starring Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter
On paper this movie is something which had all the potential to be the movie of the year: Tim Burton's visionary genius re-imagining one of the most fantastic and imaginative stories ever. Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Mia Wasikowska (from the wonderful "In Treatment") as Alice herself. Special Effects extravaganza in 3D. And a never-ending list of great actors and actresses lending their voices to all those loved characters from our childhood. I would have said "count me in!" anytime!!! And yet, this ended up to be possibly the biggest turkey of the year!
It's not really an awful film, but knowing what this could have been like, it just leaves you really disappointed.
How could it have happened?
In a way it reminded me of Steven's Spielberg's Hook, one the (few) big missteps of his career. In that movie too Spielberg had made the terrible mistake of messing with a classic story: for example we had a grown up Peter Pan going back to Neverland. Here Alice has grown up too and forgot everything about Wonderland which is now a run down place with a Gothic feel, typical of any Tim Burton's movie. Well, that would probably be all right, except that Burton, by updating the world really managed to take the wonder out of "Wonderland".
Tim Burton's film is essentially a sequel/re-imagining of the Lewis Carroll without all the joyful surprises, the sense of discovery and fun of that book and more crucially, without a single good original idea! None of the liberties the makers took seems to work culminating with fight scene with a dragon at the end of the end which seems to belong to a different film altogether. And (big spoiler here… watch out) what's point of all that going to China at the end? What a mess!
There was another Disney's movie back in the 80s called Return to Oz, which made the same mistake and used the same device of having Dorothy going back to Oz only to find it all changed and half-destroyed and now look almost like a kind of post-apocalyptic landscape where everything seem to be covered in ash. However in that film the story and the characters were so compelling that somehow they got a way with it, in Burton's Alice in Wonderland all the characters are so annoying and only just half-sketched that it's hard to care about any of them. In fact it seems like their accents, make up and CGI enhancements have replaced their personalities.
Michael Sheen's White Rabbit appears a couple of times and is probably the most confusing of them all, since it relies on your knowledge of the character from the previous incarnation of the story to make any sense of it. Where is he going? Why is there at all? What's his point? is he there to help Alice or the Queen? Stephen Fry's Cheshire Cat and Alan Rickman's Blue Caterpillar are just as superfluous to the story. Once again, it all feels rather over-blown, over-crowded with characters.
And finally Johnny Depp who's impersonation of the Mad Hatter is the most annoying of them all and possibly one of the actor's worse performance of his career . Now, I really used to like Johnny Depp, but it seems that in the last few years he's only been playing the same over-the-top character over and over again. His Mad Hatter seems an extension and a mixture of his previous "mad characters": there's a little bit from Tim Burton's previous creations, from Willy Wonka in Chocolate Factory, to Sweeney Todd and even his previous Edward Scissorhands but there's also lots of reminders to Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and hints from The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Is Johnny Depp playing the same character over and over again? What happened to the sweet, restrained and understated performances of his early work like the beautiful What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Donnie Brasco? And most awful of them all Anne Hathaway's take of White Queen, who's mannerism is just as annoying as her eyebrow. It might have been all intentional (in which case, even worse) but it was certainly a very bad choice to have her acting like that.
Helena Bonham Carter's impersonation of the Red Queen is one of the few redeeming factor in the whole film and the scenes with her are probably the highlights in an otherwise flat and misjudged series of sequences. Though even her bizarre creation becomes a bit tedious after a while.
Even the special effects (which by themselves are top class) are so diluted in the poor story that somehow failed to strike a chord and surprise us. Not to mention the use of the 3D which is probably one of the poorest use of it I've seen this year (together with "Clash of the Titans"). I guess it has to do with the fact that the movie was actually filmed on 2D and then retrofitted (I am not quite sure whether this is the right term for it) afterwards. This is a technique that not only doesn't work but also brings a bad reputation to 3D itself (I keep on hearing a lot of people complaining about how bad 3D is, but they've only seen Clash of the Titans of Alice in Wonderland, and they believe that's what 3D really is).
Just a quick word about the music score: yes, it could have been good, if only they had work out where to use it, as opposed to ending up having music throughout the whole film, thus diminishing the effect that music should have. Overblown is once again the word that comes to mind.
I wonder what this film could have been like if maybe Tim Burton had made it, without Disney behind his shoulders. But as it is, on the whole, this mish-mash of Disney and Burton doesn't really hold together and it proves once again that Tim Burton is the "director-that-could-be-great-but-rarely-really-is".

The King's Speech – Review
The King's Speech (6.5/10)
Directed by Tom Hooper. Starring Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambon, Colin Firth
C'mon let's face it. This film has already been nominated with all sorts of Oscars, even 3 months before the ceremony (and it's going to win quite a few as well, including the best film). It's one of those crowd pleaser that somehow manages to score really high, despite the fact that's it's actually a fairly average film. What elevates "The King's Speech" is its cast, there's no doubt about that.
Colin Firth will be laughing all the way to the Oscars and most likely will win what he actually deserved in 2009 for A Single Man, and Geoffrey Rush, will somehow manage once again to get his name up there with the other nominees at least. In fact, each scene with the two actors together is worth the price of your tickets, even if you have to sit the rest of the movie which , to be honest has some pretty clunky bits.
On the whole it feels a little bit like the "TV movie of the week" or a theatre play, in the same way "The Queen" did a few years ago (a film which I loved by the way and which I still think was highly superior, much more clever, wittier and a lot more subtle that this). The fact that it looks like a play is by no means a criticism. Some of my favorite movies (One flew over the cuckoo's nest, rear window just to mention a few) are very much confined films which could very well be made on a stage (in fact most of them have). Unfortunately this film, in my view, doesn't really have a good director at its helm like "the Queen" had. In fact it seems like every single decision Tom Hooper has made is wrong: the cartoony staging of certain scenes for example (the one where the wife sits on the king diaphram as he practices his speeches is really idiotic for example). The choices of camera angles or camera movements are just too showy and they only seem to enhance the silly side of the film: those tracking shots forward and backward within the same room used as time-lapse are really very artificial and they actually draw attention on themselves instead of serving the film and its story. And those shots of the king being framed in a corner or the screen are anything but subtle. Clearly "Subtle" is not a word that's in mr Hooper's dictionary: every single time the King is about to give an important speech, on cue, the music starts, just to warn the audience "Oh watch out… this is going to be emotional"… Well, it seems to work. Audiences all over the world are loving this film.
"The King's Speech" is clearly aimed at an American audience, possibly even more that the Queen was. Every historical information is spoon-fed to the audience in a pretty clichés way to the point of becoming a little bit annoying and taking you away from the real good part of the story which is the relationship between Firth and Rush. Thankfully their performances are so much fun, that they manage to elevate the film and making it OK, despite of everything else.
Best film of the year? Well, it has costumes, good performances, big names, it mixes drama with comedy, somebody with a disability… It must be then.
I'm afraid not. It's just an average film, well made and well acted and looking for attention. Sadly it might get it.
Time out has a nice piece on this film, which doesn't make me feel too guilty aboutgiving a mere 6.5 to the film

Chinese jet came within 10 feet of US military aircraft, US says
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Chinese military plane came within 10 feet of a U.S. Air Force plane in the disputed South China Sea last week, forcing it into evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision in space. international air force, the US military said Thursday.
The close encounter followed what the United States has called a recent trend of increasingly dangerous behavior by Chinese military aircraft.
The incident, which involved a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter jet and a US Air Force RC-135 jet, took place on December 21, the US military said in a statement.
"We hope that all countries in the Indo-Pacific region will use international airspace safely and in accordance with international law," he added.
A US military spokesman said the Chinese plane came within 10 feet of the plane's wing but 20 feet from its nose, prompting the US plane to take evasive maneuvers.
The United States has raised the issue with the Chinese government, another US official said.
The Chinese embassy in Washington DC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the past, China has said that sending US ships and planes to the South China Sea is not good for peace.
US military planes and ships routinely conduct surveillance operations and travel through the region.
China claims vast stretches of the South China Sea that overlap with the exclusive economic zones of Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Trillions of dollars in trade flow each year through the waterway, which also contains rich fishing grounds and gas fields.
In a meeting with his Chinese counterpart in November, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin raised the need for better crisis communications and also pointed out what he called dangerous behavior by Chinese military aircraft.
Despite the tensions between the United States and China, US military officials have long tried to keep the lines of communication open with their Chinese counterparts to mitigate the risk of possible explosions or to deal with any accidents.
Australia's defense department said in June that a Chinese warplane dangerously intercepted an Australian military surveillance plane in the South China Sea region in May.
Australia said the Chinese plane flew close to the RAAF plane and dropped a "straw bundle" containing small pieces of aluminum that were ingested by the Australian plane's engine.
In June, Canada's military accused Chinese fighter jets of harassing its patrol planes while monitoring North Korean sanctions evasions, sometimes forcing Canadian planes to divert from their flight paths.
Relations between China and the United States have been tense, with friction between the world's two largest economies over everything from Taiwan's and China's human rights records to their military activity in the South China Sea.
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan in August angered China, which saw it as an attempt by the United States to interfere in its internal affairs. Subsequently, China launched military exercises near the island.
The United States does not have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, but is required by law to provide the island with the means to defend itself.

Potable Water Certification issued by external bodies is dependent upon formulation and/or manufacturing site.
Based on this, products supplied in different territories may not be approved to all of the standards listed above.
Consult your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected. If overcoating Intershield 300V with antifoulings or single pack finishes, the first coat of material must be applied while the Intershield 300V is soft to thumbprint or slightly tacky. When using in cargo holds, consult the Intershield 300V Cargo Hold Application Guidelines. For tank coating, consult International Paint for the detailed coating procedures that should be followed.
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges. Weld seams and areas of shop primer damage or breakdown should be blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or power tooled to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).
Intact, approved, shop primers must be clean, dry and free from soluble salts and any other surface contaminants. Unapproved shop primers will require complete removal by blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). In some cases sweep blasting to a defined International Paint standard (eg AS2 or AS3) may be acceptable. Consult your International Paint representative for specific recommendations.
Abrasive blast clean to minimum Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or International Paint Hydroblasting Standard HB2M. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intershield 300V, the surface should be reblasted to the specified visual standard. Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner.
When full abrasive blasting is carried out, a sharp angular surface profile of 50-100 microns is recommended.

(1) Agitate Base (Part A) with a power agitator.
(2) Combine entire contents of Curing Agent (Part B) with Base (Part A) and mix thoroughly with power agitator.
Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA822/GTA415. Once units of paint have been mixed they should not be resealed and it is advised that after prolonged stoppages work recommences with freshly mixed units. Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA822/GTA415. It is good working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend upon amount sprayed, temperature and elapsed time, including any delays. Do not exceed pot life limitations. All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.
Intershield 300V should be high pressure fresh water washed and/or solvent washed prior to overcoating, where necessary, to ensure removal of any surface contamination that has accumulated. Suitable for use on tanker decks subject to Classification Society Regulations. Intershield 300V may be applied at substrate temperatures down to -5°C, however consideration should be given when overcoating at low temperatures as the remainder of the system may require higher temperatures to achieve full cure.
For North America: if overcoating Intershield 300V direct with antifoulings, the first coat of antifouling must be applied while the Intershield 300V is still tacky. For use in potable water tank linings, as a two coat system with a 10 mils dft, nominal and cure of 30 days minimum at 25°C (77°F) and 50% relative humidity.
Shelf Life 12 months at 25°C. Subject to re-inspection thereafter. Store in dry, shaded conditions away from sources of heat and ignition.

YELLOW STRINGER, VOLUME 1
Subtitle Fake News Provocateurs
Goeffrey Jean-Louis, Frederick L. Jones, Saturday AM
Price $13.99 / £9.99
Monsters are fake news, right? That's what many of the readers of the tabloid rag the Yellow Stringer think, but the truth is more frightening than anyone could possibly know.
With front page stories like the demon baby born in an Iowa hospital or the ghost that mysteriously haunts cheerleaders from a small West Virginia town, most people assume that the articles in this national newspaper are sensationalist entertainment for bored shoppers waiting at checkout. However, these stories are real, and the journalists who report on them get the scoop despite the danger they find themselves in.
Promising Columbia Journalism School graduate Naomi and her partner, ex-cop Tony, two journalists who have suffered traumatic events at the hands of monsters, now dedicate their lives to reporting true monster crime. While they come from two different backgrounds with very different methods to investigate the truth, they are committed to unearthing the world of the supernatural. Even if no one in the world ever believes them, this dynamic team will stop at nothing to reveal the truth!
In this volume, our bickering yet terrific duo have to deal with a unique version of the headless horseman, the undead, cursed artifacts, and more! Naomi and Tony may have seen it all, but when cases start to link up to trauma that only they have experienced, they're going to stop at nothing to expose the truth.
Yellow Stringer is rated OT for Older Teen, recommended for ages 16 and up.
Saturday AM, the world's most diverse manga-inspired comics, are now presented in a new format! Introducing Saturday AM TANKS, the new graphic novel format similar to Japanese Tankobons where we collect the global heroes and artists of Saturday AM. These handsome volumes have select color pages, revised artwork, and innovative post-credit scenes that help bring new life to our popular BIPOC, LGBTQ, and/or culturally diverse characters.

"Because it is the report of a prosecutor, [the Mueller report] will inevitably be one-sided…. If unrebutted, [it] will probably be quite damaging, even devastating, to the president and his associates. Virtually all reports by special and independent counsels, from Kenneth Starr's report on Bill Clinton to Lawrence Walsh's on the Iran-Contra scandal—have been devastating when issued without any rebuttal."
Why wait for Mueller's underhanded "one-sidedness," however, when Dershowitz, in spades, dishes his own?
"This doesn't mean that the report would survive a well-documented rebuttal," he continues. "I don't believe that the Mueller report will directly accuse President Trump of any crimes. Collusion—even if Mr. Mueller were to conclude that it occurred—is not a crime. Nor can exercises of a president's constitutional authority or rights—such as firing an executive-branch official, issuing a pardon or tweeting—be turned into crimes by stretching elastic statutes."
Dershowitz is, of course, well aware that collusion is a crime as framed by 18 U.S.C. § 371, which postulates a criminal act "[i]f two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose." Trump and his team did just that, to the Federal Election Commission, when it accepted a foreign power's electoral assistance — the history of which becomes more vivid by the day — and concealed the candidate's bimbo payments.
In addition, even a first year law student would know that a president's pardon power, as well as his sacking power, is not unlimited. If a president pardons an ally or dismisses a foe for the express purpose of concealing a crime, then that president has obstructed justice, Q.E.D.
I understand Professor Dershowitz is concerned — on a nonpartisan basis, it should be added — with Trump's civil liberties, and as such is acting as the defendant's necessarily controversial, though unofficial, counsel. But his legal arguments could be shot down in L-One moot court. Is this really the level of thinking we should expect from a Harvard Law professor emeritus?

Q: How to replace string from previous line using \r (Python) I'm attempting to make a countdown timer starting from 60 seconds. My only problem is that when I run the function, the program prints the code like so:
60
59
58
... etc
How would I go about replacing the 60 from that first line and put the 59 in it's place without printing 60 lines?
Here's my code:
from __future__ import division
import sys, time

def countdown():
    seconds = 60
    while seconds >= 0:
        print seconds
        sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(1)
        seconds -= 1

A: Print an empty line at the beginning of your countdown function. This will create the line needed for \r to work. Now, replace the print seconds part with
sys.stdout.write('\r  \r')
sys.stdout.write(str(seconds))

The first line clears the previous, empty line printed at the beginning of the function. The second one outputs the seconds.
The code:
def countdown():
    seconds = 60
    print ''
    while seconds >= 0:
        sys.stdout.write('\r  \r')
        sys.stdout.write(str(seconds))
        sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(1)
        seconds -= 1

You are very brave to share, Jenny. I don't know you well, but from what I do know, you turned out to be a really fantastic, faith-filled person. I certainly count my happening to find your website as one of the many blessings in my life. Sending you a hug through the web!
Thank you, Sandra. I value your friendship as well.
Love you Jenny, know you are using your experiences in life to help others and that is hard to do. You do it well and I sit amazed at you and Phillip and how you handle life together. Been a blessing to watch and be a part of life with you guys.
Hard to do, not just the stuff, but the time, the unselfishness, the reality of hurts and issues of others, just the whole action of letting God have complete control, saying YES.

Q: Best effect size statistic for ordered categories I have ordered categories, and a prediction for the size of the categories. If the categories were unordered, I would use Cramer's V as a measure of the effect size.  [Feel free to give an opinion on whether that's the best.]  But I have ordered categories. What's the best effect size estimator in this case?
Here's an example with 9 categories:

With over 700 thousand observations in this case (often more) a significance test is beside the point.  I could use Cramer's V, but this ignores the fact that these are ordered categories. I want to compare the fit of this data to the expectation with the fit of other data to the same expectation. What would you recommend?
As an aside, I note this related question is unanswered:
Best effect size estimator in simple linear regression?

A: If you were more interested (for example) in deviations from expected that corresponded to a movement of probabilities up to higher categories or say to a polarization toward the extreme (relative to say an increase in the proportion of odd-numbered categories over even numbered categories which doesn't lead to much effect on say the median or the "spread"), then you can take advantage of the ordering to gain more sensitivity/attention to those kinds of deviation which relate to the order.
But since any deviation at all is equally of interest, then you're not particularly interested in deviations that relate to the ordering, so you can take no meaningful advantage of the fact that the categories are ordered.
Consequently for that sort of omnibus alternative, you would simply ignore the ordering and use measures of deviation that detect deviations from expectation in unordered categories.
Edit: I should mention the smooth alternatives for ordered categories that lead to generalizations of "smooth tests", which generalize from Neyman-Barton smooth tests in goodness-of-fit, but now expanded to include ANOVA-like problems for example. This includes work done by many authors but Rayner and Best are two of the major names in this line of work. As an example, for a chi-squared type goodness of fit test, you'd partition the statistic into orthogonal components -- linear, quadratic, cubic etc. If you are interested in detecting deviations from expected that relate to the ordering, the first few orthogonal components will capture that well (4 is a common choice, but if there's a lot of categories, 6 is also often used), and give good ability to see things like "shift in location" or "polarization to the extremes". However, if all kinds of deviations are of interest, you'd include all the components at higher polynomial orders (all the ones available for the number of categories you have), and you're back with the original order-ignoring chi-square statistic.
In a similar vein, the reason the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test has more power against alternatives of common interest than the chi-square in goodness of fit testing* is mostly because it takes some account of ordering in the data; but that involves having very low power against the high-order alternatives.
* (with categorical data, this requires appropriately dealing with the discreteness of the statistic, not using the tables designed for the continuous case)

Ischewsk ( ,  / Iž oder  / Ižkar) ist die Hauptstadt der Republik Udmurtien der Russischen Föderation. Sie hat  Einwohner (Stand ).

Geschichte
Der Ort entstand 1760 unter dem Namen Ischewski sawod () am Ufer der Isch, eines Nebenflusses der Kama, als Arbeitersiedlung bei einem Eisenwerk gleichen Namens. 1918 erhielt er die Stadtrechte und seinen heutigen Namen. Von 1984 bis 1987 hieß die Stadt vorübergehend Ustinow () zu Ehren des 1984 verstorbenen Marschalls Dmitri Ustinow.

Das ursprüngliche Ischewski war ein Ort an den Ufern des Flusses Isch, welcher sich durch eine gute Wasserversorgung und naheliegende Eisenerzvorkommen sehr gut für den Bau eines Eisenhüttenwerkes eignete. Der Bau der ersten Arbeiterhäuser begann am 10. April des Jahres 1760, dieses Jahr gilt als Geburtsjahr der Stadt Ischewsk. Für die Eisenproduktion wurde Wasserkraft benötigt; aus diesem Grund wurde der Fluss Isch angestaut und der Ischewsker Stausee entstand, der das Stadtbild auch heute noch maßgeblich prägt.

1774 besetzten Pugatschows Rebellen die Stadt und zerstörten die Eisenwerke. Im Jahre 1807 wurde durch Zar Alexander I. der Bau einer Waffenfabrik auf Basis der 1775 wieder errichteten Eisenhütte beschlossen. Im selben Jahr begann der Bau des Hauptgebäudes der frühen Waffenfabrik nach Plänen des Architekten Sergej Dudin. Um möglichst schnell eine effiziente Fabrik zu erhalten, wurden unter anderem Fachkräfte aus Deutschland, Dänemark und Schweden sowie Bergleute aus dem Ural rekrutiert. So kam es, dass 1807 der Deutsche Friedrich Poppe zum Hauptwaffenmeister ernannt wurde. Der Aufbau vollzog sich so hektisch, dass die Arbeiter ihre (Holz-)Häuser nach der Arbeit nachts bauen mussten. Noch in den 1870er Jahren gab es nur etwa 20 Wohnhäuser aus Stein.

1884 wurden die Stahlwerke und die Waffenfabrik verstaatlicht. Daneben wurden aber mehrere private Waffenfabriken gegründet.

Im Jahr 1918 war die Stadt Schauplatz eines Aufstandes, der sich positiv auf die Russische Revolution bezog, aber gegen die Alleinherrschaft der Bolschewiki positionierte. Getragen wurde er von Menschewiki, rechten Sozialrevolutionären und einem lokalen Frontkämpferverband. Diese Koalition übernahm im August 1918 die Macht, jedoch brach der Aufstand schon im November 1918 zusammen.

Ischewsk ist seit 1921 Hauptstadt der Republik Udmurtien.

Von 1926 bis 1939 verdreifachte sich die Bevölkerung durch die forcierte Industrialisierungspolitik im Rahmen der Fünfjahrespläne.

Wirtschaft
Die Stadt ist heute noch durch die Waffenindustrie geprägt. Sie gilt auch nach der Sowjetzeit (neben Tula) als die "Waffenschmiede Russlands". Der prominente russische Waffenkonstrukteur Michail Kalaschnikow lebte hier bis zu seinem Tod.

Die besonders bekannten Ischmasch-Maschinenwerke entstanden im Zweiten Weltkrieg aus Teilen von Fabriken, die aus dem Westen der Sowjetunion hierher verlegt wurden. Sie produziert Kleinwaffen und Autos. Ab 1946 wurden in den Ischmasch-Werken die zuvor im sächsischen Zschopau demontierten Motorrad-Fertigungsanlagen des DKW-Werkes wieder aufgebaut. Ab 2015 bis zum Russischen Überfall auf die Ukraine 2022 wurde in Ischewsk der Lada Vesta gebaut. AwtoWAS bot Anfang August 2022 jenen Mitarbeitern, welche selber ihre Stelle kündigen, die Auszahlung von fünf Monatslöhnen an oder finanzierte Umschulungen; das Werk war zuvor 5 Monate still gestanden, und die Mitarbeiter hatten sich mit Verschönerungsarbeiten beschäftigt. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch über zehn große Industriebetriebe.

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Anmerkung: Volkszählungsdaten (1897–1926 gerundet), 2012: Schätzung

Weiterführende Bildungseinrichtungen
Die Hauptstadt Udmurtiens hat 231 vorschulische Einrichtungen, 100 allgemeinbildende Schulen und 5 Hochschulen. Außerdem gibt es eine medizinische und eine landwirtschaftliche Akademie sowie einige Berufsschulen.
Die Stadt besitzt rund 30 Bibliotheken. Die größte Bibliothek in Ischewsk und der ganzen Region ist die Nationale Bibliothek der Republik Udmurtien und wurde im Jahr 1918 gegründet.

 Filiale der Hochschule für Privatisierung und Unternehmertum
 Filiale der Universität für Verbraucherkooperation Moskau
 Höheres Kolleg für Geisteswissenschaften und Ingenieurwesen "Aeromech"
 Fakultät des Juristischen Instituts des Innenministeriums Russlands in Ischewsk
 Staatliche Landwirtschaftliche Akademie Ischewsk
 Staatliche Medizinakademie Ischewsk
 Staatliche Technische Universität Ischewsk
 Udmurtische Staatliche Universität
 Udmurtisches Institut der Akademie für Staatsdienst des Uralgebiets

Bemerkenswerte Bauwerke

In Ischewsk gibt es eine Vielzahl religiöser Gebäude, darunter hauptsächlich Kirchen, aber auch Moscheen.
 Die Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale wurde nach Plänen Semjon Dudins erbaut und teilte das Schicksal vieler anderer Kirchen Russlands nach der Revolution nicht. Sie wurde nicht zerstört, sondern büßte nur ihren Glockenturm ein und wurde als Kino weiterverwendet.
 Die 1915 fertig gestellte Erzengel-Michael-Kathedrale hingegen wurde auf Initiative der Atheisten im Jahr 1937 abgerissen. Jedoch wurde sie 2007 zur Feier der 200-jährigen Waffenproduktion wiedererrichtet.
 Der 350 Meter lange und mit Turm 50 Meter hohe Komplex der früheren Waffenfabrik zählt zu den schönsten Industriellen Bauten Russlands.
 Der Kulturpalast der Ischmasch-Werke war zur Zeit seiner Erbauung mit seiner prächtigen Ausstattung durchaus mit Moskauer Bauten dieser Art vergleichbar.
 Der Sendemast Pesotschnaja ist ein 1962 errichteter, 195 Meter hoher abgespannter Stahlrohrmast, der durch seine in zwei Ebenen angeordneten sechs Querträger, die zu den Abspannseilen führen, ein markantes Erscheinungsbild besitzt.

Tatarenviertel in Ischewsk

Die Republik Tatarstan grenzt an die Republik Udmurtien und bildet die nördliche Grenze des Islamischen Glaubens in Russland. Aus diesem Grund ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass im Tatarenviertel von Ischewsk eine Moschee zu finden ist. Das Tatarenviertel ist noch größtenteils mit traditionellen russischen Holzhäusern bebaut, jedoch entstehen zunehmend auch moderne Häuser aus Stein neben den alten Gebäuden in Blockbauweise.

Plattenbauten
Der größte Teil der Ischewsker Bevölkerung wohnt allerdings in einfachen mehrgeschossigen Häusern, die größtenteils noch aus der Sowjetzeit stammen. Viele von ihnen wurden in den 1960er Jahren auf Initiative von Nikita Chruschtschow errichtet, daher stammt der bei der Bevölkerung verbreitete Name Chruschtschowka oder auch "Chruschtschoba". Besonders auffällig ist, dass die Balkone der Gebäude fast überall verglast wurden, um den Balkon als zusätzlichen Wohnraum oder Vorratsraum nutzen zu können.

Das Monument

Das Monument der russisch-udmurtischen Freundschaft aus dem Jahr 1972 wurde anlässlich des 400. Jahrestages des freiwilligen Beitritts Udmurtiens zu Russland errichtet. Aufgrund seiner optischen Ähnlichkeit mit zwei Skiern wird es von den Stadtbewohnern häufig "Skier der Kulakowa" als Erinnerung an die berühmte udmurtische Skilangläuferin Galina Kulakowa genannt.

Sport
Der Eishockeyverein HK Ischstal Ischewsk nimmt am Spielbetrieb der zweithöchsten russischen Spielklasse teil.

Städtepartnerschaften
Ischewsk listet folgende Partnerstädte auf:

  Tatabánya, Ungarn, seit 1992
  Jambol, Bulgarien, seit 1992
  Xining, China, seit 2002
  Będzin, Polen, seit 2004

Mike Haynes was known for impressive stats during his illustrious 14-year, Hall of Fame career in the NFL. His nine Pro Bowls, 46 interceptions and two career touchdowns led many to consider him the greatest cornerback ever. But in 2008, came the most important stat of all for Mike – elevated levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in a blood test that led doctors to discover he had prostate cancer.
The stakes are high. About one in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, but the odds increase to one in six if they are African American and one in five if they have a family history. Prostate cancer is also the second leading cause of cancer-related death among men, and there are often no symptoms. Luckily, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100 percent for people who detect and treat the disease early. With the Super Bowl just around the corner, don't sit on the sidelines, join Haynes on Wednesday, January 31 and Thursday, February 1 in this campaign to save lives.
The Urology Care Foundation and the NFL continue to build upon a relationship that started nearly 10 years ago when the NFL, through its Player Care Foundation, began implementing prostate cancer screenings for retired players conducted by the Urology Care Foundation. Today, they continue to encourage all men and their loved ones to visit KnowYourStats.org for information about prostate cancer.


Cyclos clock engine is based on the Resonance effect the clock engine don't need to push every clock it only need to fill up the resonance.
Resonance also means it recycling energy.
this means the 8core-Piledriver will get a base clock of 4ghz and more with the turbo.

"Laut Samuel Naffziger von AMD war die sogenannte ?Resonant Clock Mesh Technology? problemlos in den bisherigen Herstellungsprozess zu integrieren und die ersten produzierten Prozessoren h?tten die Erwartungen erf?llt. Allerdings gab Naffziger auch zu, dass die Investition in die zuvor ungetestete neue Technik ein gewisses Risiko darstellte, das sich nun ausgezahlt habe."
Samuel Naffziger pointed out that it was a high risk to bet on this untested technique but in the end amd win and now amd earn 10% more clock speed for free with the same power consuming.
in may point of view this and ZRAM makes it possible for amd to beat intels 22nm cpu with a 32nm process.
I don't understand how this increases clock speeds. Generating a fast clock is one thing; actually meeting setup time on all your flops is another.
it increases clock speed because it reduce the heat and then you can clock higher in the same TDP.
and it reduce the heat because it does recycling the electrons in the vibrating laboring and then the stored electrons push in the next cycle.
all other clock engines only push electrons this clock engine don't push electrons it vibrating pushes the laboring big difference!
if the vibration laboring hits the resonance frequency you need ZERO energy to hold the clock!
the new Piledriver amd cpu will have 4ghz and 4,6ghz turbo clock.

LOL Qaridarium, "amd comeback" indeed, Cyclos's "resonant clock mesh technology" finally licenced by AMD after ARM already partnered with Cyclos in the early days (now you know one of the reasons why AMD were at the ARM venues and part of that PR) is for lowering the power envelope OR increasing the clocks as a side benefit, and lets be honest here AMD FX-Series FX-8150,Piledriver and all the rest need all the help they can get to lower the power and hopefully speed up the data throughput for a given watt even if they managed to slightly hand optimise the slow throughput "auto design" errors noone at amd bothered to correct the first time around.
i really cant beleave your still falling for the AMD PR innovators sale pitch today, sure they can advertise 4.6ghz as a valid Number due to this 3rd party licencing deal, and they are first to use it commercially rather than ARM, they have their constantly evolving version sat on a tech bench waiting for the right time to put it into production, might as well let amd go through the pain of ramp up, "Cyclos announced a proof of concept processor implementation based on the ARM926EJ-processor in 2008 under the name "Project Elizabeth" along with the availability of design tool support."
but ARM dont need to bring down the (milli)watts as a priority, AMD sure do today compared to intel, but thats beside the point , AMD are using this (anyone can)license tech today as it allows them to recycle more product from their yield waffers as in some cases yields actually improve when using resonant clock meshes with better power savings rather than generic clocks today, and even if that wasnt the case, as dan (ganousis) CEO of cyclos says "Most design teams today are quite happy to accept a small yield penalty in exchange for 10% total power reduction anyways."

I'm happy about Cyclos's "resonant clock mesh technology" and you turn it into : "i really cant beleave your still falling for the AMD PR innovators sale pitch today,"
and then you come with a Troll move ARM vs x86 but in fact AMD USE IT FIRST the Cyclos engine.
you really buy ARM if you want a 64bit-highend system ? ? are you MAD man?
and then you really compare Zram to Mram?? are you mad? you really compare volatile memory to non-volatile memory ???
and be sure Zram is the cheapest ram ever build because you only need 1 transistor for every bit and Zero-capacitor.
whatever i buy ARM if they get nativ 64bit for NAS systems and Servers and Routers.
so be happy i'm not a ARM hater.
i actually like you Qaridarium and ill actually make the time to read your many badly translated posts several times to see if you have a good point to make and agree with it if so.
you appear happy that a larger ghz number is involved as the reason and the basis for your so called amd to "come back", not the real reason why Cyclos's resonant clock mesh technology is really interesting, and that is all this is "interesting", not something to base a so called amd comeback on, its that simple, dont go reading anything more in to it.
again you miss the point, ill spell it out, volatile memory needs constant power to refresh it, non-volatile memory does not, mram is as fast and durable as generic volatile memory dram today and its in production now,the only downside right now is density.

Yes I'm happy abour more GHZ and why does this technique does not help amd to "comeback" ?
so we are saying the same with different words.
sure MRAM are better than Flash.


Looking for a more southern soul food style baked macaroni and cheese? Click here to try out my sister's recipe.
Homemade baked macaroni & cheese….ahhhh…just the thought of those bubbling cheeses & pasta baking to perfection in the oven makes me smile! Is this really the ultimate comfort food ????
I've been baking a crap load of homemade macaroni and cheese recipes since last week. Just trying to figure out which one is worthy enough to sit proudly on my Thanksgiving table.
I try to go with a different baked macaroni and cheese recipe every year, but this year after trying so many and being disappointed, I decided to go with my old tried & true recipe. Those "testing" ingredients were getting pretty darn expensive! My purse & waistline simply can not afford to test out any more recipes!
In a large pot, add equal parts water & chicken broth. (Just enough to cook your macaroni in) Bring to a boil.
Add macaroni and cook until al dente. About 7-8 minutes (look on the back of the box for the cooking time and set your timer so that you don't overcook it) When macaroni is done, drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter & whisk in the flour. Cook for about 2 minutes. Whisking the entire time.
Add in the cream cheese & stir until completely dissolved and smooth. Whisk & stir like crazy to get it smooth. I used a spoon to mash the cream cheese up a bit.
Remove from heat & add in 4 cups of cheese & stir until smooth.
Pour cheese mixture over cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Add some black pepper if you'd like.
Grease a 9 X 9-inch pan with butter & pour the mac n cheese into it.
Top with sharp cheddar cheese and paprika.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Do not over-bake to prevent it from being dried out. You want the macaroni and cheese to be somewhat jiggly when you take it out. It will set as it cool and just be the creamiest, cheesiest thing ever.
Let cool for about 15-20 minutes before digging in so that it can set completely. I never can wait that long but hopefully, you have stronger willpower than me when it comes to macaroni & cheese.
Year after year I come back to this recipe!
