Wow Air, the budget airline that offered $69 flights from the US to Europe, has just collapsed. Here's what it was like to fly on it.

Budget airline Wow Air halted operations on Thursday, stranding thousands of passengers.
The 7-year-old Icelandic carrier, known for its bright purple planes and cheap prices, had been struggling with debt.
In August 2017, we took an in-depth look at what it was like to fly on the now-failed airline.
The Icelandic carrier, which had been operating for seven years, became known for its bright purple planes and too-good-to-be-true ticket prices, including one-way tickets from the US to Europe for as little as $69.99 (£57).
However, it had been struggling with debt.

After that particular $69.99 sale was announced in 2017, we took a look at what it was really like to fly on the airline.
Some of the amenities typically included with a plane fare — including bottled water, food, and even entertainment — weren't part of the deal. The airline, however, was up-front about its no-frills flights.
"This way you won't have problems with expectations," Wow Air founder and CEO Skuli Mogensen said. "That's why we tell them to bring their own food, water, and download a movie on your iPad or laptop ahead of the flight."
In August 2017, we asked two travel experts who had flown Wow Air, James Dozer of Travel Codex, who bagged a $99 one-way flight from Los Angeles to Reykjavik, Iceland, and frequent flier and travel expert Gilbert Ott, who runs the air-miles site God Save the Points, to share their experiences.
From quirky purple sick bags to iPads for rent, see what it was really like to fly with the now-failed budget airline Wow Air.
An earlier version of this article was published on August 31, 2017. Dozer originally reviewed the flight here.
Icelandic low-cost carrier Wow Air regularly offered $99 tickets to Europe from the US and around European countries. We asked two people who have grabbed a ticket to share their experiences.
According to James Dozer, who booked a $99 one-way flight from Los Angeles to Reykjavik, buying tickets with Wow Air was "actually pretty easy."
"Their website was simple and functional and allowed me to search several days at a time to find the cheapest fares," he wrote on Travel Codex. "Once I found my flights and travel dates, I paid for my flight tickets and had the option of purchasing additional services such as checked bags and seat selections. Their website even allows you to book tours and airport transfers."
The check-in counters were open early, assisting passengers three hours before the flight. However, this didn't prevent issues with seat selection.
"If you already pre-paid and selected your seats, now would be a good time to double-check your seats as Wow Air's IT systems are notoriously horrible," Dozer said. "Even though I confirmed our seats that morning for our flight, when we arrived at LAX, our seats were screwed up. We were no longer assigned to our seats and someone else had already checked into one of our seats. Unfortunately for us, the only two seats together were located in the back of the plane."
He added that two other passengers seemed to be facing the same issue, and that there have been many reports of the same problem online. However, the Wow Air Station Manager was "awesome" and helped to resolve the issue.
"Seeing that we were disappointed with our re-assigned seats, she proactively paged the passenger that was assigned to my selected seat and politely asked her to switch seats with us. Luckily, the girl didn't care and we were back to our original purchased seats. Fortunately, this worked out in this case but I don't know what would have happened if the girl said 'no'."
A small carry-on bag, measuring 42 x 32 x 25cm including wheels and handles, and weighing maximum of 10 kg, could be taken on board for free. Dozer also said you could take a small personal item — like a purse or a backpack.

Guests could pay extra for a larger carry-on bag, which, for flights over four hours, could cost from £30.99 ($40.57) depending on when it's purchased. They could also put a 20kg bag in the hold from £37.99 ($49.74) online (or £52.99 ($69.37) for flights over eight hours), though again, this price went up at check-in or at the gate.
Gilbert Ott, who runs the air miles site God Save the Points, said: "When they first launched you were virtually forced to pay extra because the carry on allowance was so low. Now they've doubled it. You really can fly one of these unreal deals without paying extra."
After the problems at check-in, Dozer wasn't surprised when boarding and departure were delayed by about an hour.
"Boarding started with those needing special assistance, followed by seats in reverse order (higher numbered seats boarded first). Despite the late boarding, the entire boarding process was smooth and orderly and we were ready to push back within 20 minutes," he said.
If you didn't pay ahead, you were assigned a seat, and you could even get lucky with an XL or XXL for free if your flight wasn't busy. However, if you were travelling with a group, there was no guarantee you'd sit together.
"If you're travelling with a partner you'll want to pay for the seat assignment, but for a solo traveller it's amazing value," Ott said.
The seats were in a 2 x 4 x 2 layout. According to the website, it cost a minimum of £7.99 ($10.46) to pre-book a standard seat (31 inches of leg rooms) online for a flight over four hours, from £30.99 ($40.57) for an XL seat (32 inches of leg room) and £37.99 ($49.74) for an XXL seat, which offered 35 inches of leg room. These prices went up for flights over eight hours.
According to Dozer, not all Wow seats were created equal.
"In fact, not even all of their Airbus A330s are configured the same way, so don't even bother with the seating chart on SeatGuru.com. Just follow the seating chart on Wow Air's own website when selecting your seats," he said.
Dozer suggested picking a window seat if flying to Iceland at night. "On my flight, we were able to get a glimpse of the Northern lights from the windows."
According to Wow Air, the planes had "a generous seat width and pitch."
Dozer said the legroom "wasn't bad" and there was more than expected.
However, he said: "Storage-wise, other than the single, seatback pockets, the seats lacked storage spaces for your small electronics/personal items. I had to store the majority of my things in my backpack underneath the seat in front of me. And lastly, the seats did not have adjustable headrest to provide your head and neck with any support throughout your flight."
He also said the seats were hard and uncomfortable, meaning people were often walking around the plane.
Everything was bright and quirky, from the plane itself...
...to the tickets...

...and the cabin crew.
However, food and drink weren't included in the price, despite being a necessity on a transatlantic journey.
"During the flight, the flight attendants did walk the cabin frequently and conducted several passes with the food and beverage carts," Dozer said.
A range of items could be purchased from the duty-free catalogue on board, which included a rather extensive in-flight menu including the likes of sandwiches, pizza, snacks, and both soft and alcoholic drinks.
"The food and beverage prices weren't too terrible if you wanted to buy some food onboard," Dozer said. "My friend and I ate prior to boarding but we got hungry about four hours in."
"We each ended up buying a hot chicken risotto dinner which was quite tasty. The chicken was moist and the risotto was a little soggy but the seasoning was flavorful."
There was no personal in-flight entertainment or WiFi on board. However, travellers could rent iPads preloaded with games and films.
"The selections looked pretty outdated so you're better off sleeping or making friends with the other passengers," Dozer said. He suggested coming prepared not only with water and snacks, but with your own iPad full of movies.
Electrical outlets were provided underneath the seats.
However, no pillows or blankets were provided.
"The climate controls did fluctuate frequently during flight," Dozer said. "It would go from Arctic cold to mildly hot every couple of hours. I would recommend packing a light jacket in your carry-on bag just in case."
Before you booked, there were additional fees and costs to add up to see if your total price would even be cheaper than travelling with a traditional carrier, according to Dozer.
While his ticket price may have been $99 to Iceland, there were no $99 fares for his return.
"The cheapest return fare I could find for a day that worked for me was $279.99." With all fees and food included, his $99 flight to Iceland ended up costing $512.96 return.
At the end of the day, Dozer wasn't sure if the experience had been worth it.

"Don't get me wrong, that's still an incredibly cheap price to get to Iceland, but I don't know if it was actually worth it," Dozer said.
"It was extremely annoying having to pack so lightly and worrying if my bags were gonna fit within such size constraints. The seats were not that comfortable and the in-flight experience wasn't all that great. But most importantly, even though it was only a few bucks here and there, I really hate being nickeled and dimed for everything. For me, I value the convenience of not having to fill up my water bottle beforehand or paying extra for a cup of coffee (or two) on-board."
But Ott felt that if you knew what to expect, Wow Air was a "cheerful" way to fly cheaply, particularly if you made use of their stopovers in Iceland.
"I find the greatest value in the ticket to be in the free Iceland stopovers. Being able to see Europe or the US while also crossing off one of the trendiest destinations for free on the side is pretty damn cool," Ott said.
"It's a short flight from virtually anywhere so eat in the airport, download some shows, settle in, and enjoy a cheap but very cheerful ride."

When it comes spectacular specs, it's usually the most pricey proposition that takes the cake. Recently however, keen competition from various OEMs in China have been keeping the bar quite high without charging a pretty penny. Micromax, the biggest smartphone vendor in India, looks to be not only upping the ante, but putting the likes of OnePlus and other frenemies on alert.
According to a leak over the weekend, Micromax is preparing to announce the Yu5050 this Tuesday. The phone's benchmarks – assuming they are legitimate – are right up there with some of the best in the business. The device is reportedly going to have a 5.2-inch FHD display, a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Octa-core MSM8994 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. An AnTuTu benchmark (see below) index also lists the phone as having a 21-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera. Pricing is estimated to be just $315.
Details are somewhat uncertain as the above benchmark lists a QHD display and 3GB/4GB of RAM. It has been speulated that this means there will be two variants. One may include a 5.5-inch QHD display and 32GB of on-board storage. thus it's possible the 5.2-inch version will have 3GB and the larger more power hungry option will include 4GB of RAM.
Readers should be warned that it's possible to fake benchmarks, thus none of these result screen captures should be taken as "fact", however the import manifest from Zuba does lend a bit more credibility to the story on-the-whole.
The phone(s) are also said to be running Cyanogen 12.1 based on Android 5.1, something that might come as a surprise given that Micromax had recently announced plans to release its own Android skin. Then again, considering the time required to plan out and execute a comprehensive overlay on Google's mobile OS, it may be some time yet before any such results find their way onto customer's devices.
Perhaps the real surprise here is the idea that a top-tier phone may sell for just $315 despiteincluding the powerful Snapdragon 810 SoC. Given the disappointing news that Qualcomm recently announced, one might imagine its current-gen silicon hasn't been sitting silently in the sun. In truth, numerous reports suggest it's actually baking, not basking, with the heat heading towards handsets that make use of it.
It is quite possible that Qualcomm is lowering the costs associated with its 810 for the sole fact that companies large scale OEMs like Samsung and LG have avoided it for their latest flagship products. With respect to Samsung in particular, all four of its 2015 mainstays made use of internally developed Exynos chips which inevitably contributed to Qualcomm's staff layoff situation.
It will be quite interesting to see what – if anything – transpires this Tuesday. Could the Yu5050 turn out to be India's best selling device in 2015? Does OnePlus have to start worrying? It's only a matter of hours before the truth is told, providing this all pans out.

The critics next turn to "Paleo data and climate." The critics attempt to insist that CO2, as a feedback, is responsible for the magnitude of glacial cycles. However, it should be noted that the critics are claiming that a fluctuation in radiative forcing on the order of two watts per square meter is a major factor. Even the illusive phrase 'consistent with' hardly covers the implausibility of this speculation. But, the remainder of the comment points to a major misunderstanding of how the glacial-interglacial system works. The critics claim that I am confusing correlation with causality. In fact, for decades, attempts to relate ice volume to the Milankovitch parameter (solar insolation at 65N in June) failed to show a good correlation. Recently, however, it was realized that it should be the time derivative of ice volume that one compares with the Milankovitch parameter (viz Roe, 2006, Edvardsson et al, 2002), and the correlation turns out to be superb (1).However, this is not simply a superb correlation. The Milankovitch parameter was based on a very specific physical idea: namely that the growth of glaciers depends primarily on the survival of winter ice accumulation through the summer. The Milankovitch parameter varies over a range of about 100 watts per square meter, which is indeed capable of having a dominant influence on the survival of accumulated snow and ice. The notion that the small changes in globally and annually averaged insolation are the crucial driver is implausible to say the least, but it stems from the current simplistic view of climate consisting in a single variable (globally averaged temperature anomaly) forced by some globally averaged radiative forcing – an idea that permeates the critics' discussion despite their noting that current GCMs are in fact 3 dimensional with moderate horizontal and vertical resolution. Given the numerous degrees of freedom in the climate system, any such imbalances resulting from the much larger Milankovitch forcing are easily compensated. It is rather unlikely that the small compensation called for is actually the major forcing. Moreover, there is, to the best of my knowledge, no proposed mechanism whereby small globally and annually averaged radiative changes could produce the major glaciations cycles, whereas the Milankovitch mechanism is transparently clear and provides a driver that, in its large magnitude and in its appropriate spatial and seasonal properties, is exactly what is needed and is simple to boot.

Rats! Chinese New Year fireworks canceled amid security and public safety concerns
By Coconuts Hong Kong Jan 15, 2020 | 10:07am Hong Kong time
Hot on the heels of throwing a wet blanket on everyone's New Year's Eve, Hong Kong city authorities appear determined to do the same for Chinese New Year as well, saying they will cancel the massive annual fireworks display over Victoria Harbour amid security concerns related to the ongoing protests.
The news was first reported by Sing Tao Daily, citing a government source who said that the decision to cancel the fireworks was based on safety concerns given the large number of people gather on both sides of the harbor, as well as on boats, to watch the display.
The spectacle was due to take place on the second day of the upcoming Year of the Rat — Sunday, January 26.
Although the city's long-running anti-government protests have calmed down in recent weeks, the source told the newspaper that it was difficult to guarantee that the day would go ahead without a hitch, and that it would be difficult to evacuate a large number of people in the event that something happened.
The last time the Lunar New Year fireworks were canceled was in February 2018, when authorities decided not to go ahead with the display out of respect for 19 people who were killed in a bus crash in Tai Po a few days prior.

Nashville ranked as the No. 1 affordable getaway and the best place for live music on the "Travel + Leisure" "America's Favorite Cities" list for 2010. The launch of the Grand Ole Opry in 1925 cemented the city's already growing reputation as a hub of musical activity. The friendly city offers affordable accommodations and attractions beyond the music scene.
Music Row, on 16th and 17th avenues south of Broadway, offers few attractions other than music company headquarters. RCA Studio B, also known as RCA Victor Studio, is the only one offering tours. Tours depart from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and the ticket price includes admission to the hall of fame. More than 1,000 top 10 American hits and more than 150 Elvis Presley tunes were recorded at the studio. Located on Music Row, Alan LeQuire's 38-foot-tall sculpture, "Musica," attracted some unwanted attraction when it was unveiled in 2003. Nine nude figures rise from a central pedestal.
The Music City Walk of Fame, on Demonbreun Street across from the Country Music Hall of Fame, pays tribute to musicians who make contributions to Nashville's music scene. Nearby, the Nashville Music Garden contains more than six dozen varieties of roses, many of them named after country music stars. The Sarratt Gallery at Vanderbilt University offers rotating art exhibits and occasional receptions, lectures and opening parties. History buffs head for Riverfront Park, the site of Fort Nashborough, a replica of the original Nashville settlement, and the Tennessee State Museum, which counts a large selection of military uniforms in its collections.
The Nashville Zoo presents daily animal shows, trainer talks and kids activities at the resource center. The Wilderness Express Train takes riders to parts of the zoo not normally seen, and a 66,000-square-foot jungle gym features cargo netting, super slides and swings. Laser Quest offers 30-minute-long laser tag missions for up to 30 players per game and sponsors monthly special events. Fans of the television show "Dukes of Hazzard" visit Cooter's Place, a museum and store dedicated to all things Dukes. The museum features props and costumes from the show, and displays a selection of vehicles.
Distilleries and Breweries
Corsair Artisan distills micro batches of whiskey, rum, gin and other spirits in a 240-gallon still that survived Prohibition. The company, in the old Marathon Motor Works Building, offers tours by appointment. A taproom, open Thursday through Saturday, pours local brews and serves a light menu of appetizers and sandwiches. Yazoo Brewing Company offers tours of the brewery on Saturdays that include a complimentary pint glass and samples. The Jack Daniels and George Dickel distilleries are within an hour's drive of Nashville.

Q: Strange expression for limit What do these limits $\psi(x+0), \psi(x-0)$ mean?. I did calculus but have never come across this.

A: These notations mean
$\displaystyle\psi(x+0)=\lim_{t\to x^+}\psi(t)$ and $\displaystyle\psi(x-0)=\lim_{t\to x^-}\psi(t)$ and these notations $\psi(x+),\psi(x^+)$ are also used for the same meaning. See Dirichlet_conditions as an example of  use.

As the previous tune goes, come Christmas, you're intended to deck the halls with boughs of holly. But what about these who don't celebrate Christmas? Maybe you rejoice Hanukkah. Maybe Kwanzaa is what your family celebrates. And what about the holidays that consider location the relaxation of the yr? What about Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day and every thing in between? How will you at any time begin to decorate for the approaching vacations?
Still, I have been informed two times that my press release was all wrong. They say I have no credibility to write about my personal book and say something good about it. Of course you say that, they say, you wrote the guide. Of program you like the book.
Many advertisers are afraid of PPC simply because of the famous Google Slap. I say, don't pay attention to these idiots because they don't know how to advertise with Google.
At numerous times during my grownup life, meat grew to become unappealing. My trek through Asia is one case in point. I started out by consuming steamed veggies and white rice, at any time fearful of stories about Peking Dog and General Chow's Kitten. I experienced a canine at home in the US and he was not going to smell puppy on my breath when I returned. Following a Tags touring colleague talked to me about how Asians fertilize their crops I was reduced to the at any time wholesome: Chips Ahoy cookies, Snickers candy bar and Diet plan Coke diet plan, a variation on my previously meatless forays into vegetarianism. It was not the healthiest diet plan and I did acquire a couple of lbs, but my conscience was as distinct as my meatless palate. No family pet experienced crossed these lips.
What provides these people the correct to criticize? Because they can publish a newsletter? All that exhibits is that you can put with each other a bunch of viewpoint and have either access to a Kinko's and a roll of stamps or you know how to type in e-mail addresses and hit "send." Clearly the individuals who publish "Time" and "Newsweek" and "TV Manual" need to take classes from you because you are this kind of and authentic publishing genius. Let us all bow before you.
So in the end, a message that can fit within a 15 second window that asks a provocative query, provides a item demonstration and can be utilized for 40 many years for less than pennies on the dollar, has received to be the most effective ad in background. Like you and me, advertising companies have to go out and make a living like everyone else, so having so effective an advertisement ignored can be understood. If on the other hand, you're a consumer you should to consider how effective and creative a concept you want in your marketing.

History of the Flip Flop
Thong-style sandals - flip-flops as we call them now - have existed for thousands of years. Pictures of them are found in ancient Egyptian murals dating back to 4,000 BC, and a pair was discovered in Europe made of papyrus leaves and estimated to be about 1,500 years old! The first flip-flop "off the line" designs were made from a wild array of materials. Ancient Egyptian sandals were fabricated from papyrus and palm leaves, the Masai of Africa made them out of rawhide, Indea saw them made of wood, and China and Japan constructed them from rice straw. The leaves of the sisal plant were used to make twine for the sandals in South America, and the natives of Medico used the convenient yucca plant.
By the 1950s, pop culture was flipping out (lol, pun intended) for these sandals. A rubber redesign evolved, as well as the usage of bright colors to reflect trending design at the time. Flip-flops became wildly popular due to their simplicity and comfort factor.
The actual name flip-flop has been going strong in British and American English since the 70's. Needless to say, this name comes from the funky (or annoying) sound made when walking while wearing. However, found on beaches throughout the world, this famous footwear is also referred to by a variety of names. They are called thongs in Australia, jandals in New Zealand, slops in South Africa, chinelos in Brazil and slippers in Hawaii. In parts of India, flip-flops are commonly known as hawai chappal because they allow for quick removal upon entry to home and temples. The Japanese wear their flip-flops traditionally designed as straw sandals called zori. While popular in Poland as japonki, and interestingly infradito in Italy. Can we say 'peace out' in 20 languages?
We can clearly see why they are popular in seaside stores and as basic summer shoes. In for the long-run, we find these sandals propped up and flopped out by some of our fave designers including Tory Birch, Michael Kors as well as Mui Mei and even Chanel for fancier affairs! Legit mass global love.

Konrad (* 1. Hälfte 13. Jahrhundert; † nach 1256 in Wettingen) war Geistlicher und Abt von Kloster Wettingen.

Über seine Herkunft ist nichts bekannt; er ist aber für die Zeit von 1228 bis 1256 als Abt urkundlich nachgewiesen. Für die Jahre 1226 und 1227 ist Konrad im Kloster Salem als Prior, also als Vertreter von Abt Eberhard von Rohrdorf, bezeugt und wird für den 14. Oktober 1227, das Gründungsdatum von Wettingen, als erster Abt bezeichnet. Mit Datum vom 5. Dezember 1256 ist sein Wettinger Nachfolger, Heinrich von Murbach, zum ersten Mal schriftlich als Abt dokumentiert.

Für die Jahre 1263 und 1265 bis 1267 finden sich erneut überlieferte Spuren eines Konrad. Ob dies der Gründungsabt oder bereits sein Nachnachfolger ist, lässt sich nicht sicher belegen. Konrad erhielt am 4. Juni 1264 von Papst Urban IV. den Auftrag, das neue Prämonstratenserinnen-Doppelkloster Bollingen am Nordufer des Zürichsees zu visitieren.

There is nothing more satisfying than saving for something and going out to the shops and buying it. It is the dream. As soon as my two were born I opened accounts for them where little bits of money here and there has been going in. I will encourage them to open a current account like this one from TSB and then save in another each month to buy the things they really want.
My issue was spending EVERYTHING on the day I got paid and then panicking as my direct debits came out. Now I have a few different accounts. One like a current account for everyday bits and bobs (for example a new Mum coat from Matalan), one for the kiddos (for example ANOTHER pair of overpriced school shoes) and one for 'us' (for example romantic things like a shed. Oh).
It is a hell of a lot easier to get all your bills paid on the first day of the month. Or payday. So you get them out of the way. Then you don't have to worry if you have paid your Broadband in the third week of the month.
Happy to be up town. Shopping!
God this is SO GEEKY but I have a spreadsheet now. In fact? I have a few. With incomings, outgoings, savings and all sorts. We are just about to redo our house up and that spreadsheet? It's ridiculous. But when you know where you stand it is a lot easier not to get in a mess with your money.
Finally? I shall ensure that my two know impulse buying of lovely pretty things may be joyous at the time but a decade later? They look so out of fashion even your Nan would turn her nose up at owning one!
Seven credit cards yikes! I was pretty bad at uni too and I will never have credit on a credit card ever again. It took me a long time to clear that debt. Like you I have spreadsheets now, and diffeent accounts for day to day and savings.


The Resident Evil 2 modding community is positively thriving and there has been a constant flow of new and exciting fan-made content that continues to keep players entertained well after its release. While Capcom has expressed interest in remastering other Resident Evil titles, it will likely be awhile before we get our hands on anything tangible since Resident Evil 2 Remake only just arrived.
However, the wait needn't be dull as there are tons of Resident Evil 2 mods that aim to shake up and change our experience. The sheer amount of freedom and experimentation mods offer is incredible, so I've searched the depths of the web to find the most ambitious and downright ridiculous Resident Evil 2 mods you can use and download right now.
If you're tired of looking at the hordes of decaying flesh eaters and want a more pleasant survival experience then look no further. This mod transforms Resident Evil 2's shambling corpses into nutritious hordes of delicious tofu. Capcom originally included a playable tofu character in the classic Resident Evil 2 minigame "The Tofu Survivor", while Darkside Chronicles' secret mode allowed players to face hordes of tofu as they fought their way through Raccoon Police Station's courtyard. This mod isn't just a nod to one of Resident Evil's most iconic Easter eggs, it also demonstrates just how terrifying everyday food items can be when they're pasted into Capcom's RE Engine.
Resident Evil 7 was the first main series game to feature a first-person perspective. Creeping round the Baker family's dilapidated home was a truly terrifying experience, and one that only comes with a more intimate approach to exploration. For the first time, players could get closer to the onscreen horror than ever before. Whether you were gingerly peeking around a doorway, blocking incoming attacks, or feverishly aiming your pistol, this new perspective delivered some viscerally terrifying moments. Resident Evil 2's first-person camera mod aims to capture this feeling and offers a fresh perspective to both combat and exploration, so if you've beaten Resident Evil 2 and wish to shake things up, then this mod will do just that.
Fans of Capcom's prehistoric PlayStation classic have wanted a Dino Crisis reboot for years, so it's not surprising that players have been busy creating dino-themed mods that can be used in Resident Evil 2. Modder Crazy Potato has reskinned Claire to look like Regina, changing her hair colour, hairstyle and outfit, while Leon has also received a makeover in order to look like Dylan Morton. Even Sherry gets to join in on the fun and has the option to wear a Dino Crisis themed jacket. Capcom may have let the Dino Crisis franchise die in 2003, but this mod proves that fans aren't willing to let this prehistoric series slip into extinction.
Capcom has done a fantastic job of recreating Leon and Claire's classic zombie romp for a new audience, but older Resident Evil fans may appreciate this mod. If you want to give your copy of Resident Evil 2 a more retro look then this classic UI will do just that. Installing this mod will add the classic Leon and Claire sprites to the save screen, while your inventory is given a blue background that emulates the PlayStation original. This mod may not be the most visually impressive on the list, but it's a nice touch for those that wish to give their game a retro feel without impacting gameplay.
Mr. X has become an internet celebrity ever since fans first saw him stomping his way through the narrow hallways of Raccoon City's Police Department. As a result, Resident Evil 2's titular terror has been featured in numerous videos and meme compilations, so it was only a matter of time before someone gave Mr. X the theme tune he truly deserves. Of course, that song is DMX's "X Gon' Give It To Ya". The modder DJPop has painstakingly replaced Mr. X's "Black Impact" theme with DMX's lyrical masterpiece. To use this mod, simply extract the file into your game's directory and boot it up to enjoy this meme to its full potential.
Capcom has expressed its interest in remaking Resident Evil 3 after fans praised the team's work on the Resident Evil 2 Remake – in fact, players have been so hungry for more zombie slaying action that mod forum user ZERO has created a mod that replaces Mr. X with Nemesis. This beastly tyrant looks even more menacing than Mr. X, especially when this mod is combined with the original music and sound cues from Resident Evil 3. The next remake may be a few years down the development pipeline, but you can get your Nemesis fix with this reskin mod.
If Mr. X wasn't scary enough you can now replace him with everyone's favourite sentient train. Yes, this mod transforms Mr. X into Thomas the Tank Engine. The Skyrim modding community may have beaten ZombieAli by a few years, but the really useful engine has never looked so happy to be part of the nightmarish action. We highly suggest that you use this mod alongside DJPop's soundtrack replacement so that you can hear the iconic Thomas theme song and accompanying sound effects. If you like the idea of running through the dark hallways as Thomas' grinning face barrels towards you, then be sure to take this mod for a spin.
Modder Enveloping Sounds has released a couple of videos showcasing what the Resident Evil 2 remake could look like with fixed camera angles. This mod is a true masterclass in camera placement and shows just how hauntingly beautiful Resident Evil 2 truly is. The orphanage is one of the spookiest places in the entire game, but this mod makes it look even creepier thanks to the various camera angles that help give a whole new perspective. Unfortunately, the ambitious nature of this mod means you can't play it, but it's definitely worth checking out Enveloping Sounds' YouTube channel if you wish to see more updates.
This mod adds a variety of filters to make it look like you're playing Resident Evil 2 on an old VHS tape. While it doesn't change the general gameplay, it does make for a rather unique playthrough. Resident Evil is known for its cheesy lines and dumbfounding moments, so it only makes sense that someone would give it an old B movie vibe. If you wish to play around with the game's visual settings and want to take some artsy screenshots, then this VHS mod will give you the tools you need.
No respectable Resident Evil 2 mod list would be complete without featuring Mr. X at his best. This game-changing mod strips away Mr. X's menacing apparel and replaces them with a pair of flip-flops, sunglasses, and an Umbrella branded thong. When the terrifying tyrant isn't busy chasing Leon and Claire around Raccoon City Police Department, he's hard at work honing his body at the gym. Mr. X may be an evil tyrant, but even he understands how important it is to put in the work when trying to sculpt that beach body look - after all, the Resident Evil franchise is filled with beautiful people, so why not make Mr. X one of them with this mod?

Q: Toolbar Material Icon as status indicator I'd like to use a Material Icon as a status icon in the title bar.  The function addMaterialCommandToRightBar puts it on there but it looks and acts like a button.  I tried doing it using addCommandToRightBar and styling it after the Title style but it still appears like a button and can be toggled.  I'd like it more like a label and to be able to change it.  My goal is to have a connection status icon I can change easily.

A: Last minute thought resulted in the answer.
f.getToolbar().addCommandToRightBar("", FontImage.createMaterial(FontImage.MATERIAL_WARNING, f.getToolbar().getTitleComponent().getStyle()), null).setEnabled(false);

I was missing the setEnabled on the end.  Without this it always have the border and button action.

Q: Polynomials vanishing modulo some integer $n$ It is well-known that a polynomial $q \in \mathbb Z[t]$ vanishes modulo $p$ only if it lies in the ideal $J_p$ generated by $p$ and $t^p-t$. This means that either the degree is large (at least $p$) or the coefficients are large (divisible by $p$).
Is there anything useful like this that one can say if a polynomial vanishes modulo $n$? For example, let $n=p_1 \cdots p_k$, where $p_1<\dots<p_k$ are different primes. (For me, this could be the list of all primes less than some number $x$ for example.) It is clear that if $q(t)$ vanishes modulo $n$, then
$$q(t) \in J_{p_1} \cap \cdots \cap J_{p_k} = J_{p_1} \cdots J_{p_k}.$$
Examples are $q(t)=t\prod_{i=1}^k (t^{p_i-1}-1)$ or $q(t)=p_1 \cdots p_l$ or anything in the ideal generated by polynomials divisible for each $1 \leq i \leq k$ by either $p_i$ or $t^{p_i}-t$.

Question: Is it true that again either the degree must necessarily be large or some coefficient (or let's say that sum of absolute values of coefficients) must be large? Here, large could mean for example comparable with $\sum_{i} p_i$ or $n$.

It is easy to see that any polynomial $q(t) \in \mathbb Z[t]$ that vanishes modulo $n$ is such that $q(t)/n$ maps $\mathbb Z$ to $\mathbb Z$, and hence
$$q(t) = \sum_{i} n a_i \binom{t}{i},$$ for some $a_i \in \mathbb Z$ -
but I do not see how this helps. I also tried to apply Chebotarev density theorem (which together with the error analysis of Lagarias-Odlyzko gives a way to produce small primes modulo which a polynomial has to have a root), but the estimates are too coarse and do not seem to make efficient use of the assumptions on the polynomial.
EDIT: Motivated by a discussion with David Speyer below, let me formulate a more precise question:

Question: Let $f \in \mathbb Z[t]$ be a monic polynomial of degree $d$ that vanishes modulo all primes $\leq P$. Is it true that $d \log \|f\|_{\infty}$ cannot be much smaller than $P^2$?

Here, $\|f\|_{\infty}$ denotes the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of $f$.

A: For a monic $q(t)$ vanishing mod $n$, the degree is at least the minimal $m=m(n)$ with $n|m!$. This follows from a description of all such polynomials given by Singmaster here :
$$q(t)=r(t)S_m(t)+\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}a_k\frac{n}{gcd(k!,n)}S_k(t)$$
where $S_k(t)=(t+1)(t+2)...(t+k)$ and $r(t),a_k$ are arbitrary.

A: I thought I'd write out the bounds we can get from the pigeonhole principle. Let's say that I am working with the primes $\leq P$, with polynomials of degree $D$ and I want the largest coefficient to be at most $K$.
If $(K+1)^{D+1} > \prod_{p \leq P} p^p$, then this is possible by the pigeonhole principle: Just look at all polynomials of degree $D$ with coefficients in $[-K/2, K/2]$. Two of them must agree mod $p$ for all $p \leq P$; subtract them and win. We have $\prod_{p \leq P} p^p = \exp(P^2/2 + O(P^2/\log P))$, so this gives us roughly $K \approx \exp(P^2/(2D))$. If $D<P$, then we get a better bound by just using the pigeonhole for primes $\leq D$, and multiplying by $\prod_{D<p\leq P} p = \exp(P-D + O(P/\log P))$; the resulting bound is $K \approx \exp(D^2/(2D) + P-D) \approx \exp(P-D/2)$.
I'll point out that $\prod_{p \leq P} (t^{p-1} - 1)$ is probably worse than we would get by using pigeonhole with $D = \sum_{p \leq P} p-1 \approx P^2/(2 \log P)$. Pigeonhole gives $K \approx \exp(\log P) \approx P$. Multiplying out those binomials produces $2^{P/\log P}$ terms, of $P^2/(2 \log P)$ different different degrees, so some degree has at least $2^{P/(\log P)}/P^2$ terms contirbuting to it. There is no reason to expect better then square root cancellation, so we probably get about $\sqrt{2^{P/(\log P)}}/P$, much worse than $P$.
Editing note: I've removed some other computations which, after conversation with Andreas below, are clearly a dead end. That means the comments may not make much sense.

A: As stated the answer is negative. Denote $N=lcm \{p_i-1|1\leq i \leq k\}$. Then $t^{N+1}-t$ is always divisible by $n$. But it may appear that $\sum (p_i-1)=N+N/2+\dots+N/k$, so it may be much greater than $N$.
But some another reasonable bound on degree/norm may hold.

Quy (an unusual almost musical name) told me that she had an opening in an hour. "Could I come back?" Well, I thought, I've come this far, I may as well.
An hour later I was in the chair. "What do want." I looked at Quy and said, "a young hair do!" Okay, so I'm old, but I FEEL young-That counts, doesn't it? "How do you want your hair fixed?" "I teach and that I know how to do. The hair is your talent. Do what you think." The washing was so relaxing. Hot towel was then wrapped around my head. A feeling of calmness came over me. That is a rare event for a hyper person such as myself! 🙂 Quy worked her magic.

Lukas Beck, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, Germany
Lukas Beck obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge. He is currently a member of the Scientific Assessments, Ethics, and Public Policy working group at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) in Berlin, where he works on the FORMAS-funded Rivet project (with Lund University) on 'Risk, values, and decision-making in the economics of climate change.' His research focuses on economic methodology, the intersection between economics and cognitive science, and the normativity of the sciences. What unifies these interests is a desire to understand better what it means to make justified decisions in complex scenarios and what this implies for how we should live together.

Introduction: rabies is a deadly infection with almost 100% case fatality, resulting in the death of about 60 thousand people worldwide annually. It has the greatest impact in developing world and transmission from dogs represents more than 99% of all human cases reported globally. This study was carried out to determine the presence of rabies virus in the brain tissues of dogs slaughtered for human consumption within Zuru emirate, Kebbi state and to phylogenetically analyse them.
Methods: fourty nine (49) brain tissue samples from apparently healthy dogs were collected from dog slaughter slabs in 3 markets within Zuru Emirate. The samples were subjected to the Direct Fluorescent Antibody Test (DFAT) to detect rabies virus antigen. Subsequently, hemi nested polymerase chain reaction (hnPCR) targeting the rabies virus N-gene was conducted and the sequences obtained were analysed phylogenetically with others from the GenBank.
Results: about 12.2% (6/49) were DFAT positive for the rabies antigen, although rabies amplicons (126bp) were obtained from only 6.1% (3/49). These sequences were analysed phylogenetically and one of the sequence (RVZ25) formed a monophyletic group with a rabies sequence (KX148239.1) isolated from a dog in Senegal, West Africa. RVZ40 sequence formed a monophyletic group with another Nigerian sequence (KR080521.1) from Niger state. A second sequence (RVZ9) formed a paraphyletic group with RVZ40 and KR080521.1, indicating a single evolutionary origin.
Conclusion: the phylogenetic results obtained suggest an intracontinental and interstate transboundary transmission of rabies virus. Thus, there is need to strengthen transboundary disease surveillance and monitor movement of dogs into and within Nigeria.
