Many Uncertainties About Libyan Intervention
While military operations over Libya have begun, many questions about the campaign are still waiting to be answered.
Daniel DePetris March 21, 2011 July 2, 2020
There is hardly an hour that goes by without a new development in the Libyan standoff. Newspapers, television shows and world governments have been boxed into an extremely tough position. The Obama Administration has been scrambling to forge a comprehensive policy to an otherwise evolving situation. Some people still aren't exactly sure how the Libyan government will respond in the coming days. Every contingent is still open and military force by the international community has now become the official policy of the United Nations, the Arab League, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The Libya story is constantly changing, so it's obviously difficult to track down exactly where we are at this moment, let alone what action Muammar al-Gaddafi will take to either prolong or end the stalemate in his country. Nevertheless, something significant has indeed happened. With a vote of ten to zero, the United Nations Security Council authorized the use of military force against Gaddafi's regime in order to protect Libyan civilians. French warplanes and American cruise missiles fired the first shots, taking out some of Libya's air defense systems along the Mediterranean coast this weekend.
With the United States voting in favor of the resolution, Washington once again committed itself to an intervention in the Muslim world — all at a time when American military resources are stretched thin and billions of dollars continue to be spent in Afghanistan and Iraq. So with the United States, Europe and the Arab states now intervening, here are some questions that should be considered as the military campaign grinds on.
Who will lead the operation? The Security Council resolution was passed by a number of countries, including Bosnia, France, Lebanon, Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The United Arab Emirates and Qatar have pledged to contribute fighter planes and/or other equipment to the effort. But who will actually fly the planes and bomb Gaddafi's defenses?
A American-led operation would not sit well with Arabs, most of whom are still scarred by Washington's stance vis-à-vis the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and Iraq. Europe may be well suited to enforce the no-fly zone: France, Britain and Italy have far more to lose in Libya than the United States ever will.
What happens if Gaddafi capitulates? If he blinks and backs down, will the United Nations decide to scrap the no-fly zone? Ironically, this question seems to have already been answered, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton not taking Gaddafi's ceasefire announcement seriously. Yet a ceasefire would indicate that the core component of the UN resolution — the protection of civilians — has been met (at least temporarily). This appears to suggest that the United States and its allies may go a step further, perhaps by arming the opposition or bombing Gaddafi's compounds.
Who are we dealing with? The Libyan opposition is a loose collection of untrained fighters from traditional anti-Gaddafi strongholds. There is no coherent or organized leadership passing down orders, nor is there a clear picture about what the opposition wants — besides the removal of their dictator. With the UN resolution now in affect, the international community has publicly endorsed the rebel side. Unfortunately, we have endorsed a bunch of people who may hold different interests for Libya if and when Gaddafi leaves or falls from power.
Will boots on the ground be necessary? We have to ask ourselves what the next step will be if the no-fly zone and bombing raids fail to persuade Gaddafi to five up fighting. As his history suggests, there is always the possibility that he and his loyalists will dig in and consolidate their authority through unconventional means.
One scenario is the movement of heavy weaponry and anti-aircraft guns into populated civilian areas, ensuring that any foreign strike will kill innocents in the process. It's a terrible violation of the Geneva Convention, yet Gaddafi has demonstrated that he will pull out all the stops in order to survive. What happens then? Will the United States, Europe and the Arab world decide to increase the scope of their operation?
Is Obama's team on the same page? There is cause for concern that the administration may not be unified on the president's decision to use force. The National Security Council was divided during the entire deliberation process with Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power and Ambassador Susan Rice arguing for the intervention and defense secretary Robert Gates, Vice President Joe Biden and National Security Advisor Tom Donilon opposing involvement. Gates and Biden, two of the most powerful people in the administration, found themselves on the losing side but must now set aside their disagreements and work to support the president's policy.

Q: Correctly going from a Hexadecimal string to a byte array I have a hexadecimal string made up from the following bytes:

['0x17', '0x9', '0x5', '0x1f', '0x0', '0x4', '0x16', '0x0', '0x28', '0x53', '0x1c', '0x8', '0x12', '0x11', '0x40', '0xe', '0x54', '0x3b', '0x6', '0x1e', '0x45', '0x49', '0xa', '0x45', '0xe', '0x1c', '0x1f', '0x59', '0x41', '0x6', '0x4f', '0x59', '0xb', '0x16', '0x2', '0x44', '0x53', '0x1']

The hexadecimal string looks like:
'17951f0416028531c8121140e543b61e4549a45e1c1f594164f59b16244531'

How can I retrieve the original byte array?
In python 3.x:
bytes.fromhex('17951f0416028531c8121140e543b61e4549a45e1c1f594164f59b16244531')
returns

b'\x17\x95\x1f\x04\x16\x02\x851\xc8\x12\x11@\xe5C\xb6\x1eEI\xa4^\x1c\x1fYAd\xf5\x9b\x16$E1',

and in python 2.x: str('17951f0416028531c8121140e543b61e4549a45e1c1f594164f59b16244531').decode('hex')
returns

b'\x17\x95\x1f\x04\x16\x02\x851\xc8\x12\x11@\xe5C\xb6\x1eEI\xa4^\x1c\x1fYAd\xf5\x9b\x16$E1'.

Both of which are completely wrong. The bytes.fromhex, and decode('hex') both read 2-bytes at a time, so '0x9' and '0x5' are read as '0x95'. Is there anyway to fix this?
Please note, I cannot control the generation of the original hexadecimal string.
Cheers.

A: In your string encoding, several pairs of bytes have been merged; making sure that each byte is represented by two characters in your string, you'll get what you want:
In [6]: s
Out[6]: '1709051f0004160028531c081211400e543b061e45490a450e1c1f5941064f590b1602445301'

In [7]: bytes.fromhex(s)
Out[7]: b'\x17\t\x05\x1f\x00\x04\x16\x00(S\x1c\x08\x12\x11@\x0eT;\x06\x1eEI\nE\x0e\x1c\x1fYA\x06OY\x0b\x16\x02DS\x01'

Without knowing what sort of information the string represents, there is no a priori way of determining where the missing 0s should be added.

The Formosan subterranean termite gets its name because it was first identified in Taiwan, but it causes plenty of trouble here in South Carolina. Here's what our Hilton Head termite control specialists have to say about these underground pests.
First discovered in South Carolina in the 1960s, Formosan subterranean termites form colonies that number into the millions as opposed to native subterranean species, whose colonies number in the hundreds of thousands. They have never been fully eradicated from an area in which they have established colonies.
• Swarmers are approximately half an inch long and have yellowish-brown wings. Like many other insects, they're attracted to light and can often be found near windows and light fixtures.
• Soldiers have a distinctive orange-brown, oval shaped head and secrete a white, sticky fluid as a defense mechanism.
• Workers make up the largest proportion of a colony's population, and they're responsible for obtaining food, such as cellulose in wood.
Individual Formosan subterranean termites don't eat more than other species, but their larger numbers make them a greater threat. Once these termites begin invading homes above ground, you can often find foraging tubes measuring one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter in the walls.
Hilton Head termite control is needed year-round. A free 58-point inspection from our certified pest control specialists can uncover signs of termites before damage gets out of hand. Contact us today and find out how you can get $75 off our guaranteed termite protection plan.

Last week I spoke at the WRU Annual Sports Medicine Conference about programme design. The audience was primarily physiotherapists, doctors and surgeons and what I wanted to do was share some simple steps that everyone working with an injured athlete should consider when developing a training programme.
I love to have simple checklists (due in no small part to this book – The Checklist Maifesto – How To Get Things Right by Atul Gawande).
Here's my programme design checklist that I use when I'm putting together an new programme (you can find out more about my training in The Strength and Conditioning Bible).
Training Purpose – Establish your training purpose – always start with the end in mind and then work backwards.
Goal Setting – Write down your goals (outcome, performance, process) and make them SMART (Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic, Timed).
Needs Analysis – Figure out where you are starting from. Complete your needs analysis covering the five key areas; lifestyle, fitness health, injury, and performance.
Track Progress – Decide what monitoring tools you are going to use to track your rate of change and adaptation (training diary, load lifted, time to complete 5km etc).
Structured Programme – Develop a structured periodised programme that divides your training into manageable phases. This will be the blueprint that you'll work from. Macrocyle – the complete plan (the largest Russian Doll – the largest one that conceals all of the other layers). The macrocycle is 'THE BIG PICTURE'. Mesocyle – several continuous weeks of training (typically a 4-6) within the macrocyle where the training programme emphasises the same type of physical adaptations. It can be thought of as the 'monthly plan'. Microcycle – typically a 7-day period but can range between 5-10 days. This will be your 'weekly plan' providing you with details of specific training sessions that need to be completed that week.
– What is your training availability – how often can you actually train?
– What volume of training can you complete based on your training availability?
– What type of training will you be completing during each training phase?
Sets – inverse relationships exist be sets and reps as well as sets and the number of exercises that can be completed during a workout.
Speed of Movement – always programme with 'specificity' in mind to achieve specific training outcomes.
Recovery – Your ability to recover between sets is linked to 'available energy', once the 'tanks' are empty you can't continue, and to optimise performance, recovery times need programmed carefully.
Exercise Selection – select the most appropriate exercise taking into account the level of functionality and how it relates to the performance outcome that you want to achieve.
Exercise Sequence – programme the highest priority exercises and the most complex exercises early in the training session.
Hey Nick, like it that this info went out to Physio's and those involved in rehab but not necessarily schooled in S&C principles.
Most Physio's will have a good grasp of points 1-4, but structuring/Periodisation often gets forgotten (or isn't too well known about) in rehab-that's why I love working closely with the S&C guys. Team work, can't beat it. Know what you know and pass it on.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Stuart – I'm still amazed by the lack of formal education on programme design in physiotherapy degrees. It's such an important component and the success of a rehab programme will hinge on the quality of the programme and its delivery.

The unprotected: Police offer scant safety for Azerbaijan's LGBTQ+ community
12/18/2023 | Global Voices
Emily Hajizadeh, a 20-year-old trans woman, feels like she is surrounded by threats. "I constantly receive threatening messages and phone calls from my family and relatives, warning me that I will be killed," she says. "It is very upsetting, but I can't go to the police to complain about it, because I'm not sure that my privacy will be protected." Elnur Musayev, a social worker at the Gender Resource Center, which has provided psycho-social support to LGBTQ+ people in Azerbaijan since 2020, says that the police only take their clients' cases seriously if someone from the center accompanies them — or if they appeal to higher police officials or publicize the case in the media. "When LGBTQI+ people go alone to police stations, policemen ask them questions about their personal lives. These questions are not related to the person's complaint. For example, they ask 'are you active or passive?' or 'do you have a girlfriend?,' 'does your family know?'" he says, adding they sometimes even threaten to call the individual's family.

Reeths-Puffer hockey team pulls together a 6-2 win, increases season victory total to 13
By Alex Plough
MUSKEGON – Good teams know how to step on the gas and get things done when opponents throw up unexpected challenges.
They also know how to take full advantage when an unexpected opportunity comes along.
The Reeths-Puffer hockey squad is clearly a good team, and did both of those things on Saturday. After giving up an early two-goal lead, the Rockets fired back with four unanswered goals to claim a 6-2 victory over Mount Pleasant on Saturday at Mercy Health Arena in Muskegon.

The victory ended Reeths-Puffer's losing streak at one game and improved its record to 13-6-2. The Rockets will host Rockford on Wednesday.
"We've been struggling all year coming out and trying to get going quickly," said Reeths-Puffer Coach Bill Zalba. "For some reason, we just can't seem to get the motor running right in the first 10 minutes of the game. We go up 2-0 then we just fall asleep. It's mental lapses and that's what we have to clean up."
R-P forward Quinn Fowler gave his team an early 1-0 lead with a power play goal off a dish from captain Nolan Convertini 5:18 into the first period.
Less than a minute later, senior Connor Hilliker found the back of the net with Caden Brainard assisting, extending the lead to 2-0 at the 6:12 mark.

But that lead didn't last long.
Mount Pleasant forward Andrew Hovey's speed proved to be a problem for the Rocket defense. He scored a breakaway goal with 2:27 left in the first period, then cashed in again with another unassisted goal with 44 seconds left in the period, tying the game 2-2.
So it didn't hurt the Rockets when Hovey was ejected with a game misconduct at the end of the first period.
R-P forward Navarre Klint scored 2:04 into the second period off a feed from Matt Herniman, giving his team a 3-2 advantage. Then defenseman Andrew Bouwman beat the Oilers goaltender off an assist from Fowler, stretching the Reeths-Puffer lead to 4-2 with 8:19 left in the period.
Just over a minute later, defenseman Dylan Stawski connected with Brainard to set up a goal with 6:58 remaining, giving his team a 5-2 lead heading into the final stanza.
The Rockets dominated the shot column, outpacing Mount Pleasant 19-5 in the second period.
Klint scored again with 10:51 remaining in the game. The Rockets outshot the Oilers 19-5 in the final stanza.
Rockets goaltender Brad Egeler recorded the win, stopping 13 of 15 shots. Reeths-Puffer successfully killed off all six Mount Pleasant power plays, and cashed in on one of four of its power-play opportunities.
"We have to learn how to come out and compete these next couple of weeks and into the playoffs," Coach Zalba said. "We've got a lot to clean up next week. We need to set the tone, not just kind of hang out. We need to be a lot better going forward."

Sherry (who, by the way, will be knitting along, too) has threatened a midnight phone call to see if I'm knitting on my Flood Flock project. I say, "Why not?" There is that "start-itis" thing, but also this is a little out of my comfort zone, project wise and color/ yarn wise. I've never knit anything in this light natural color, I've never knit a project holding 2 strands together, and I've never knit a gansey-style anything before. Therefore, Ludlow is a perfect way to start 2015. Life in general hands us new challenges and new opportunities. If my 1st project of 2015 is a metaphor, then a shake-up is on the horizon. I look forward to seeing all of the projects as they unfold.
Happy New Year to the whole flock. Only 7 1/2 hours 'til midnight!
The unveiling! My purchases from yesterday's trip to Tolt Yarn & Wool ~ of course I had to have the Sheep Mug!
The Peace Fleece worsted in 'lily pad' is for a blanket size Girasole.
The Brooklyn Tweed Loft in 'hayloft' is for Stonecrop.
The cute ball of self striping yarn from Intrepid Otter in 'koi pond' is for socks (are you surprised!?).
The Studio Donegal Soft Donegal aran weight in 'oatmeal' is for Ashby.
And the Ístex Létt-Lopi is for my very first lopapeysa!! It was not on my shopping list but my husband found a pattern for 'Moon Pulls' by Diana Walla while he was browsing and thought it looked like 'me' so he twisted my arm pretty hard to go over my budget yesterday (and succeeded).
I am swooning over my new stash and have so much to keep me busy that I doubt I'll need to buy another skein of yarn all year. I can't wait to get started knitting and moving things from my 'queue' to my 'projects'!
I love the thought of 2000 yards of a bright happy lemony green tweedy wooly worsted weight yarn moving from my yarn bowl to a giant puddle of squishy lace in my lap keeping me warm over the winter months, so I think I'll be starting a Lily Pad Girasole to ring in the New Year!
I'm so excited to get started and knit the chilly days away with our awesome flock that has gathered together over the last few days!
Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!
Excitement for this KAL seems to keep building. When I was first faced with the possibility of reknitting something that I cast on for earlier this year I was a little hesitant. Okay to be honest a lot hesitant. I originally cast on for Ashby in late February for some vacation knitting. The project had been in my queue forever and I was really excited to use Faded Quilt in Shelter. Fastforward to a popped cast on and the vacuum cleaner finding some yarn on my carpet and I was less than excited.
I think I have recovered from stress of trying to make a a failed project work. It is a new year and I am going to cast on in Snowbound. I am excited to participate in a this KAL. It didn't snow in Seattle this December, so I figure that it is only appropriate that I cast on in a snowy colorway for this KAL.
edited by Melissa to do a little housekeeping : if you're new to the blog and don't know about our knitalong here's a link ~ jump in if you'd like ~ there's still time!
Guess where I finally got to visit today?
Even the street signs are charming in this small town.
If I had a bucket list, I would fill it up with return visits!
The minute I stepped in the door it felt like home. People were nice. Every. Single. Soul. I spent as much time chatting as shopping!
I made one slow pass around the store.
Checked out every nook and cranny and peeked in every basket.
And finally took out my shopping list and made some decisions.
And that's all for today ~ you'll have to wait to see what's inside because I'm tired and it's getting too dark to take nice photos.
And what came home with me is definitely worthy of nice photos!
Good morning! I'm thrilled to be here and participating in the knitalong this year. My name is Karen and I blog at pumpkin sunrise. Right when Melissa posted the choices, I fell in love with the Stonecrop shawl. Garter stitch with lace sounds decadent and a wonderful way to herald in a new year.
I chose this yarn from my stash that has been patiently waiting for the perfect project. Hopefully, I have enough yardage or I can creatively fudge the pattern. If not, I will switch out the yarn and substitute something else from my stash.
I have romantic visions of wearing this shawl to my daughter's wedding in the summer, assuming the dress I buy compliments the shawl. I think only knitters would chose the shawl then the dress!!
and researching ideas for the last couple days.
Need to swatch & block for gauge.
Am very excited to begin!
The last few years have been very good for the color orange. There's Burnt Orange, Coral, Tangerine, Ginger, Amber, Melon, Goldfish, oh the list is endless!
I've noticed that people are talking about it all over the place. I was standing in line at my LYS, and the owner was praising it's virtue, saying that it's the new big thing. I've seen comments here on the blog as well. Everywhere I look, someone is doing something amazing with it. I myself, am in the middle of an orange movement. I've knit a few Jared Flood patterns in orange recently, including Sempervivum, and Leaves of Grass. I'm planning to knit Ashby in Rowan Felted Tweed in the Ginger colorway for our Knit-a-long, which I'm looking forward to!
Speaking of my LYS, StevenBe has closed one of their locations in order to consolidate their stores and focus on their internet sales. To clear out inventory, they held a dollar sale ~ Every skein was sold for one or two dollars. It was mayhem. When the dust settled, two hours after they opened the doors, there wasn't much left on the shelves, except for the fun-fur. I myself got a little carried away and bought more than I should have, but I chalk it up to all the excitement. When I got home, I unloaded the goods and it filled up half my couch! While there were some novelty skeins in there (meant for a charity project), there were also some really nice merino and cashmere blend skeins, with enough yardage for some fun projects. Unfortunately, when you double your stash, it means that you have to find space to store all of it, and I live in a very small house.
So, in the spirit of letting go of the past, so that you can embrace the future, I am offering up some free yarn to our blog members. I have six+ full cakes (these things are huge!) of White Buffalo Unspun yarn in the Burnt Orange colorway. It comes as a six-strand yarn, which can be separated, spun, and plied however you want. I know that someone out there could take this and run with it! If you are looking for a project, please let me know in the comments. I would only ask that you cover shipping from Minnesota.
It's officially been decided...we are going to knit all the things!
the theme is Jared Flood & Brooklyn Tweed and not a particular design this year. Any of the five will work! So, ready...set...go!!
Once you've picked your favorite pattern and gathered your materials (or if you're having trouble deciding and need some input), go ahead and get started posting. Hop on and say hi and we'll get the ball rolling.
That's it as of today. Anyone else that still wants to jump in, let me know ~ there's still time to join! Cast on is a week away but I hope to start seeing some posts before then...I don't know which design I'm going to do yet and I'm curious to see what everyone is choosing! Thanks everyone for making this such a fun tradition!
I'm going to just go gangbusters here and throw out a few ideas ~ jump into the comments if you're interested in joining and if any of these designs appeal to you (maybe list your top 2). I'll give everyone's comments some thought over the next week and hopefully by Sunday we'll have come to some common goal and I'll let everyone know what's been decided so there's still some time to get supplies together before we start.
"Our official cast on date is January 1st so you have plenty of time to gather your materials (and probably change your mind about your yarn choice at least a dozen times). As usual, our knitalongs are stress free ~ no deadlines (we still have one person finishing up last year's kal...that would be me!) & blogging along is encouraged but not required. If you'd like to join us, leave a comment below ~ if you've knitted with us before, you know the routine. If this will be your first time, there's a tutorial on how to be a guest blogger (thanks again, Kelly!) once I've sent you your official invitation to participate."
Okay ~ jump in and let's chat!
How is it that the shortest day of the year can also feel like the longest?
I just realized that's a quarter of a million yards of yarn...eep!!

Про виконавця
The Hues Corporation was a pop and soul trio formed in Santa Monica, California in 1969. They are best known for their 1974 hit "Rock the Boat," which sold over two million copies.
Before their success they were the opening act for some stars including Frank Sinatra, Milton Berle, Nancy Sinatra, and Glen Campbell. The original band had a lineup of three singers and three sidemen. The sidemen were Joey Rivera from the Checkmates; Monti Lawston; and Bob "Bullet" Bailey, formerly of the Leaves. Before the group had a hit single they performed as an opening act for Flash Cadillac, Ike Turner, and Delaney Bramlett. Bailey, Rivera, and Lawston left the band to form Goodstuff.
The group's name was a pun on the Hughes Corporation, with the 'hue' being the group's African-American heritage. The band's members were St. Clair Lee (born Bernard St. Clair Lee, April 24, 1944, San Francisco, California; died 2011), Fleming Williams (born 1943, Flint, Michigan; died 1992) and Hubert Ann Kelley (born 24 April 1947, Fairfield, Alabama). The original choice for the group's name was The Children of Howard Hughes, which their record label turned down.
The group's first big break came in 1972, when they were invited to appear in the blaxploitation film, Blacula, starring William Marshall. They were also asked to record three songs for the film's soundtrack: "There He Is Again", "What The World Knows," and "I'm Gonna Catch You." Shortly thereafter, RCA signed the group; their first single, "Freedom For The Stallion", from the album of the same name, became a moderate hit, reaching #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The follow-up single, "Rock the Boat," became a #1 hit on the Billboard chart and the group's signature song. "Rock the Boat" was written by Waldo Holmes, who also wrote the Blacula songs, and was released in the U.S. in February 1974 and in the UK in July of that year. It went to #1 for one week in the U.S. and #6 for two weeks in the UK, staying for 20 weeks in the U.S. chart with a gold disc awarded by the R.I.A.A. on 24 June 1974. The track sold well over two million copies. The song is considered one of the earliest disco songs. Some authorities proclaim it to be the first disco song to hit #1, while others give that distinction to "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra, a chart-topper from earlier in 1974.
After the success of "Rock the Boat," the Hues Corporation's other charted singles on the Billboard Hot 100 included "Rockin' Soul" (1974, #18), "Love Corporation" (1975, #62), and "I Caught Your Act" (1977, #92).
Despite their initial success, the group was unable to duplicate the success of their earlier hits and disbanded in 1978. But with renewed interest in disco music throughout the 1990s, the group reunited for tour dates and special events, including the PBS special Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion.
Former bandmember Fleming Williams, who sang the male lead part on "Rock the Boat," died in the 1990s. Many sources claim the date of his death was September 1992, but at least one source claims he died in February 1998. According to the Social Security Death Index, Fleming Williams died on February 15, 1998. His death has been attributed to a "long illness," although many others have also alluded to a long struggle with drugs.
Founder member St. Clair Lee died on March 8, 2011, in Lake Elsinore, California.He is said to have died from natural causes at the age of 66, as written in the Los Angeles Times obituaries in March. He was survived by his mother, sons, and sister.

Can't hardly wait: DJ rearranges 2012 debut
SINGAPORE - FEBRUARY 27: Momoko Ueda of Japan during the third round of the HSBC Women's Champions at the Tanah Merah Country Club on February 27, 2010 in Singapore. (Photo by Ross Kinnaird/Getty Images) -
Dustin Johnson has moved up the start to his 2012 PGA Tour season by a week, committing to the Humana Challenge on Friday ahead of the deadline.
Johnson had said this week on his Twitter account that he would begin the year at the Farmers Insurance Open, the week after the former Hope.
"We're delighted Dustin has elected to launch his 2012 schedule at the Humana Challenge," said tournament chairman Larry Thiel, according to the Desert Sun. "Dustin is one of the outstanding young players on the PGA Tour."
The world No. 8 underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Nov. 29, shortly after playing on the victorious American team in the Presidents Cup. Johnson withdrew from the Chevron World Challenge to have the procedure done.
The five-time PGA Tour winner is now the highest-ranked player in the field, joining Phil Mickelson, Greg Norman, Matt Kuchar and FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas. It will be his third appearance in the tournament, having finished 12th in his rookie year in 2008 and 66th in '09.


The sales taking place on Darknet marketplaces deserve greater attention. To date, open source evidence of a direct link between weapons markets online and terrorism has been mostly anecdotal.
A week after the attacks in Paris in November 2015, for example, it was reported that the four assault rifles used in the attack had been originally obtained on the Darknet by a man in Germany, who was later arrested on suspicion of running an illegal arms business and selling firearms online. This claim has yet to be verified by French or German authorities, however, and remains unconfirmed. According to official documents from the prosecutor's office in Stuttgart, Germany, the weapons used in the November 2015 Paris attacks were purchased on the Darknet from a German supplier going by the user name 'DW Guns'.
In another case, it was reported that Ali David Sonboly, a teenage attacker of Iranian descent who was allegedly inspired by Anders Breivik's 2011 Far Right terror attacks in Oslo, Norway, had purchased his weapons on the Darknet before shooting and killing nine people in Munich, Germany, on 22 July 2016.
There is, however, much more evidence to illustrate an ongoing presence of criminal arms traffickers operating inside Europe, both online and offline. In 2014, Europol estimated that of the approximately 80 million privately owned firearms in the EU, there were as many as 500,000 that were lost or stolen. The individual connected by the media to the weapons used in the Paris attacks had, in the back of his vehicle, a significant arsenal of weapons including multiple Kalashnikovs, hand grenades, a pistol, and 200 grams of dynamite.
Firearms traffickers use marketplaces on the Darknet to sell weapons of this kind. In December 2016, for example, two individuals were arrested in Slovenia for selling various items including automatic rifles, hand grenades, and ammunition on the Darknet, receiving payment in the form of Bitcoin. In a 2017 study conducted by RAND Europe, the Darknet was found to be an enabler for the circulation of illegal weapons, in an online trade which researchers estimated to be worth around $80,000 per month.
Reports have also surfaced about a possible weapons network operating in the UK, raised in a case involving two men charged by British authorities for the sale and distribution of illegal weapons to organised crime syndicates. In September 2017, UK authorities revealed that Umair Khan from Birmingham, had used the Darknet to purchase ammunition for firearms classified as 'obsolete', because they were outdated and ammunition for those weapons were no longer in circulation. However, he successfully adapted them into fully functioning illegal weapons for sale to criminal gangs. Between August 2014 and February 2017, Khan spent an estimated £50,000 procuring over 50 revolvers and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition, with two of his weapons later found in the possession of 16-year-old boys. Khan "was an armourer for organised crime groups and had 'no thought' for where or how the weapons would be used". A second man, Nazim Hussain, from West Bromwich, was also convicted for organizing the storage of the merchandise and delivery to various locations across Birmingham.
Although these cases are not directly linked to terrorist groups, they highlight the availability of weapons that could potentially be used by terrorists. The availability of weapons on Darknet marketplaces, moreover, is likely to facilitate the nexus between criminal firearms traffickers and terrorists, as it removes the need for a physical connection between vendor and buyer. Therefore, it is possible that self-starter terrorists will be attracted to a marketplace which allows them to obtain weapons behind a virtual veil of anonymity.

Q: parallax backgrounds don't line up properly What I have is a website with a parallax opening page. Unfortunately, the text sections appear to be interfering with the scrolling backgrounds so that as the page scrolls the bottom parallax image (which should be the size of a pc monitor and then with text overlaying it) is repeated rather than being horizontally centered.
I'm using foundation with my own simple javascript parallax function, however as I'm relatively inexperienced with javascript I'm struggling to fix the problem.
What it seems like the fix should be is to add some padding to the top of the "home-image-3" section, but when I do this the image is still split (repeating) and a margin is added to the text-section and doesn't stop the repeating image. Therefore I need a different solution.
You can see the problem in action here http://r3gamers.com/spratters53/
Take note that images 1 and 2 (the keyboard and building) work perfectly, and image 3 (the ps4) begins again right at the bottom of the image. It's barely noticable, and yet it's annoying that the image isn't aligned properly.

Welcome!

Take a look around. Make yourself at home!

I am a web developer

Need a website created or updated?  Get in touch!

            I've been developing websites for 3 years, since I started university. When I started university, most of the subject was new to me, having only studied database theory before.
            Since 2012, I've tried my hand at many different forms of computing however I've found that I love developing websites, especially the front end (how it looks).
            I'm now looking for work in Devon to help enhance my ability and start working in a commercial environment.

I began learning my craft at Plymouth University

But my learning never really stops!

            I studied computing, covering a range of subjects. Web development isn't my only skill, it's what I love, but I've had experience working with so much more.
            Due to the nature of the course, I have worked with C#, C, ASP.NET, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP .. and that's just coding languages! I've worked with MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle databases.
            On top of programming, I've had a lot of experience working with the "business end" of software development, meaning that I am able to do (or understand) a lot more than just coding up a design that's been made for me.

I've had to:

Design projects from just an idea; creating proper design documentation such as Entity Relationship Diagrams and Concept Maps

Test on the go; by myself, and with real users, getting as much feedback as possible

Work with a team; using methodologies such as Agile (SCRUM) to help this process

Create projects which have both a short (less than a month) and long (up to a year) development schedule

Learn on the go! - I don't know everything, but I'm persistent and dedicated and will always find a way to complete my objective

I am a gamer, among other things

After all, you can't work all the time!

            While I love developing websites, everybody needs some time for their hobbies. In my spare time I love to play video games. Maybe it's because it's so diverse, being both social and mentally stimulating in many ways.
            Living in Plymouth also provides a great opportunity to visit local beaches and go on the occasional day out surfing.

      $(window).scroll(function() {
        // HTML5 proves useful for helping with creating JS functions!
        // also, negative value because we're scrolling upwards
        var yPos = -($window.scrollTop() / $scroll.data('speed'));

        // background position
        var coords = '50% '+ yPos + 'px';

        // move the background
        $scroll.css({ backgroundPosition: coords });

$371.53*/month for 96 months at 6.75% APR
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this 1972 Rover 3500S which is a rare factory 4 speed manual transmission car that was upgraded to use the 5-speed gearbox from a later Rover in 2001. This RHD car was cosmetically and mechanically refurbished over a long period starting in the late 1980s and wrapping up in the early 2000s as documented by its restoration log. The car is powered by the aluminum 3.5L Rover V8 mated to the upgraded gearbox. This Rover was imported to the US from the UK approximately 8 years ago and will be sold with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate.The car has very striking classic 'Cameron Green' color paint and a beautiful beige leather interior and has alloy wheels which are factory pieces from an SD1 and which wear correct center caps. These wheels are a handsome upgrade over the standard steel or wire wheels used on P6s and look perfectly at home on this car. The car has no signs of any accidents or rust and it drives very well. The Rover P6 series (named as the 2000, 2200, or 3500, depending on engine displacement) was a saloon (sedan) car produced by Rover and subsequently British Leyland from 1963 to 1977 in Solihull, West Midlands, England, UK.The P6 was the first winner of the European Car of the Year award.The 2000 was advanced for the time with a de Dion tube suspension at the rear, four-wheel disc brakes (inboard on the rear), and a fully synchromesh transmission. The unibody design featured non-stressed panels bolted to a unit frame, inspired by the Citron DS. The de Dion set-up was unique in that the "tube" was in two parts that could telescope, thereby avoiding the need for sliding splines in the drive shafts, while still keeping the wheels vertical and parallel in relation to the body.The Rover 2000 won industry awards for safety when it was introduced and included a carefully designed "safety" interior. The engine compartment width (with slightly amended shape) facilitated the accommodation of the Buick-derived Rover V8 engine made available in the P6 from April 1968, The Citron DS19 inspired the Rover 2000 design, Sculptor Flaminio Bertoni's Citron DS body inspired David Bache. With a nod to the new Kamm tail, the finished Rover appearance incorporated a necessarily enlarged boot filled otherwise by Rover's de Dion rear suspension. Luggage compartment space was limited due to the complex rear suspension and, in Series II vehicles, the boot mounted battery. The spare wheel competed for space also, and was stored either flat on the boot floor or vertically to the side. Series II models briefly offered Dunlop Denovo Run-flat tyre, eliminating the need for a spare, though this was not commonly selected and is very unusual on surviving examples.Rover saw Buick's compact 3.5 L V8 from the Buick Special as a way to differentiate the top-of-the-line P6. They purchased the rights to the innovative aluminum engine and once it was modified to allow its use by Rover, it became an instant hit. The Rover V8 engine, as it became known, outlived its original host, the P5B, by more than thirty years.The 3500 was introduced in April 1968 (one year after the Rover company was purchased by Triumph's owner, Leyland) and continued to be offered until 1977. The manufacturer asserted that the light metal V8 engine weighed the same as the four-cylinder unit of the Rover 2000, and the more powerful car's maximum speed of 114 mph as well as its 10.5-second acceleration time from 060 mph were considered impressive, and usefully faster than most of the cars with which, on the UK market, the car competed on price and specifications with the Rover 3500 auto tested by Motor magazine in the issue published on 20 April 1968 achieving a maximum speed of 117 miles per hour/060 mph in 9.5 seconds, with a standing quarter-mile in 17.6 seconds.It was necessary to modify the under-bonnet space to squeeze the V8 engine into the P6 engine bay: the front suspension cross-member had to be relocated forward, while a more visible change was an extra air intake beneath the front bumper to accommodate the larger radiator. There was no longer space under the bonnet for the car's battery, which in the 3500 retreated to a position on the right side of the trunk. Nevertheless, the overall length and width of the body were unchanged when compared with the smaller-engined original P6.Having invested heavily in the car's engine and running gear, the manufacturer left most other aspects of the car unchanged. However, the new Rover 3500 could be readily distinguished from the 2000 thanks to various prominent V8 badges on the outside and beneath the radio. The 3500 was also delivered with a black vinyl covering on the C-pillar, although this decoration later appeared also on four-cylinder cars.A 3-speed Borg Warner 35 automatic was the only transmission until the 1971 addition of a four-speed manual 3500S model, fitted with a modified version of the gearbox used in the 2000/2200. The letter "S" did not denote "Sport", it was chosen because it stood for something specific on those cars: "Synchromesh". However it is important to note that the 3500S was noticeably quicker than the automatic version of this car with a 0-60 mph time of 9 seconds, compared with 10.1 for the default, i.e. automatic, car. Moreover, due to the fuel-guzzling nature of automatic gearboxes of this era, the manual car's official cycle was 24 mpg compared to the automatic's 22 mpg.You will look long and hard to find a finer example of this rare late model and top-of-the-line P6 Rover 3500S with an upgraded 5 speed manual transmission and in such a striking and classic British color combination!

They would never call him your majesty.
At times he felt his life a travesty.
But then an aha moment.
And he took it as an omen.
He'd always tried to love.
And felt yes that fits like a glove.
So that's what he'd weave.
His Majesty would leave a legacy of Love!!!


The last we heard from Big Top Baseball was in April when it headed back to the drawing board to adjust its proposal for an outdoor events center on the southern edge of downtown Green Bay.
One of the objections to the original plan was public funding for the center. That remains, but Big Top officials Vern Stenman and Conor Caloia have improved other aspects of their proposal, namely, getting involvement from two local entrepreneurs who have a vested interest in the community.
The Redevelopment Authority approved a term sheet and the plans now go to the Green Bay City Council on Tuesday.
We believe these revised plans are worthy of approval if those involved can iron out a couple of site issues.
Big Top Baseball, which is based in Madison, owns the Green Bay Bullfrogs and three other teams in the Northwoods League. It also manages events at Breese Stevens Field in Madison.
It has proposed building a $9 million outdoor events center at West Mason Street and South Broadway on land that is currently vacant. The development would be known as The Shipyard Green Bay.
The 2,500-seat stadium would not only be home to the Bullfrogs. It would also be home for Green Bay West High School football and soccer as well as a venue for other outdoor events.
New to the development is the involvement of Mark Skogen, president and CEO of Festival Foods, and Andy and Lisa Szymanski, the owners of Anduzzi's Sports Club.
The venture would be Skogen's, not Festival Foods', and he would build a $2.5 million indoor concert venue that holds 2,000 at the southwest corner of the stadium.
Anduzzi's would build a $2 million restaurant on the northwest side of the stadium.
The addition of two well-known names in the greater Green Bay business community lends a lot of credence to this proposal. Those who may have viewed Big Top Baseball as an out-of-town owner without a vested interest in the community no longer have that argument.
The addition of Skogen and the Szymanskis in the development makes it a lot more attractive for other investors.
We believe this development is worth pursuing for several reasons.
» It addresses an area that hasn't been part of the downtown revitalization. The 8-acre parcel has been vacant for years. It's prime real estate along the Fox River in a now-vibrant downtown.
» It can help spur development in the area. When the Big Top owners renovated the Northwoods League stadium in Kenosha, two restaurants built next to the stadium once the the project was finished.
Kevin Vonck, the city of Green Bay's economic development director, said there have been talks with a developer about apartments north of the events center, across the boat slip from the outdoor events center, which he believes will be a "catalyst" for residential and commercial development in the area.
For some, the Broadway District ends at Walnut Street. We know that's not the case, but this will get more incidental consumer traffic to an underused part of the downtown.
» These type of public spaces can appeal to the young professionals who greater Green Bay is looking to attract and keep in the area. It provides an entertainment alternative.
» The events center is not banking on baseball only. The Bullfrogs commitment represents only one-sixth of the total programming, Caloia said.
If you look at Big Top's management of Breese Stevens Field in Madison, you'll find the venue hosts an outdoor market, movie nights, ultimate Frisbee events, lacrosse, a beer festival and outdoor concerts, most notably the Steve Miller Band and Wilco this past summer. The type of diversity in entertainment is key to making this a viable site.
Stenman and Caloia also mentioned pursuing a minor league soccer team.
» It will help Green Bay West High School. The stadium's turf will erase concerns about the condition of a grass field for football and soccer in the late autumn and early spring, thus providing an asset to students as well as the community.
» The addition of the indoor concert venue and Anduzzi's reinforces Big Top's proposal that it will have a year-round presence.
All told, Big Top would pay $5.5 million. The city would be on the hook for roughly the same amount, if you estimate a total project cost of $11 million with interest.
We understand that public assistance for commercial ventures is contentious, but sometimes the city has to spend some money to make money. We believe the added tax base and spending in the downtown area will make up for the initial investment.
Also, Big Top Baseball is looking to live within its means, with a modest stadium that's not being built for millionaires but for amateurs and high-schoolers and that can then be used the rest of the year for events of widespread interest.
Big Top Baseball retains the ability to sell the naming rights to the stadium. Could that money be used to help pay back the city sooner rather than later? We believe it should.
Our concerns haven't changed since the center was first proposed. Questions remain about the train tracks, which run along the east side of Broadway to C. Reiss Coal on the south side of the Mason Street bridge.
The tracks, as well as the coal piles, represent a safety issue and an aesthetic one.
Overall, though, Big Top Baseball has a compelling proposal. The ownership has the track record and a reasonable proposal that we believe can be successful.
The city should move ahead with this project.
We'd like to welcome Natalie Bomstad to the Green Bay Press-Gazette Editorial Board as a citizen member.
She is the director of operations at Live54218, a community-wide movement to improve the overall health and well-being of the greater Green Bay area.
Bomstad is originally from Menominee, Mich., and moved to Green Bay after graduating from Michigan Technological University with a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and master's degree in public health administration and policy from the University of Minnesota.
This year she was named a 2015 Future 15 young professional by the Greater Green Bay Chamber.
She volunteers with organizations such as the Oral Health Partnership, myTeam Triumph, and as the co-chair of Young Professionals (YP) Week. Bomstad serves on the Brown County United Way Emerging Leaders Society Advisory Council and as a board member of the Bay Area Community Council.
She replaces Diane Roundy, director of growth and business development for Schenck, who served on the editorial board for more than three years.
We thank Diane for her participation, input, insight and her ability to bring a fresh viewpoint to the editorial board meetings.

Q: Generate figure showing the document structure I have seen that documents sometimes contain a figure with the document structure in the beginning. The figure shows the chapters and how they are connected (this can often be seen in dissertations).
Random examples:

*

*https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/1576282/1576282.pdf, page 3

*https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/1545475/1545475.pdf, page 24

*German: https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/1559656/1559656.pdf, page 9

For my document, I am planning to also include such a figure. Now I was wondering whether it can be generated within LaTeX, so it updates automatically etc. which would make its handling likely much easier.

A: Manually ... you can create them e.g. this way:

*

*one by \usepackage{tikz}

*same

*tikz or as a table; you may want to check the table- or matrix-packages on CTAN

Automatically ... I'm not sure. You probably think of converting the table of contents into some graphics. Though you could define and use variables in tikz, I don't know, if you could retrieve them from the toc.
I wonder, if that's even a good idea, should it be technically feasable ... it may turn out to be more of a macro-fiasco rather than a time-saver. So probably the best way to go is this:

*

*sooner or later you'll know what the main structure of your document looks like

*even if it changes, it will most likely be some minor changes

*the final version will be clear anyway

Using tikz I'd do it this way:

*

*putting \input{graph/flow} inside your document

*maintaining and refining from time to time your extra-file graph/flow

*go from coarse (\section) to fine (\subsection, \subsubsection etc.) over time as needed

*if you want to ensure consistent titles everywhere, define them via some macros in the preamble

Here's some simple code. Unfortunately I can't put it nicely as code here, but you'll get the idea. The numbers of the chapters and section can certainly be retrieved one way or the other, but that's beyond my current scope ;-)

And this is what it generates.

A: Since I managed to come up with an initial working approach, I wanted to share the result (which likely can be further extended and improved):
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,matrix,fit,arrows.meta}

Korea National Symbol
by Lance tolentino
No. 693 ∙ 2021-10-22
National Flag
The Korean flag is called Taegeukgi. Its design symbolizes the principles of the yin and yang in Asian philosophy. The circle in the center of the flag is divided into two equal parts. The upper red section represents the proactive cosmic forces of the yang. Conversely, the lower blue section represents the responsive cosmic forces of the yin. The two forces embody the concepts of continual movement, balance, and harmony that characterize the sphere of infinity.
The circle is surrounded by four trigrams, one in each corner. Each trigram symbolizes one of the four universal elements: heaven, earth, fire, and water.
Thanks to Hangeul, Korea has achieved a nearly 100% literacy rate. The scientific and easy-to-write alphabet has also given the country an edge in the computer age
All Koreans speak and write the same language, which has been a decisive factor in forging their strong national identity. The words and accents are spoken by the people of the Seoul area are regarded as standard. Among regional dialects, that of the people of Jejudo Island off the South Coast is most distinct.
Hangeul, which consists of ten vowels and 14 consonants, can be combined to form numerous, syllabic groupings. It is simple yet systematic and comprehensive and is considered one of the most scientific writing systems in the world. Hangeul is easy to learn and write, which has greatly contributed to Korea's high literacy rate and advanced publication industry.

The History Of Black Friday | Blackfridaysalez.com
The History of Black Friday is an interesting story that dates back to the 1960s. The tradition has its origins in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when retailers would open their stores on Thanksgiving Day and offer special deals to get people into their shops before the Christmas shopping season. It was called "Black Friday" because it represented the beginning of the period where retailers start making profits for the year. Though this tradition originated decades ago, today's shoppers still love getting great deals on November 26th!
Black Friday Has Been Around for Well Over 100 Years
Back in the late 1800s, many stores sponsored Thanksgiving parades. At the end of the parade, people would come to their store and start shopping for gifts. We don't know exactly when this tradition started, but by the beginning of the 1900s, it was common for retailers to start their holiday-season sales as soon as Thanksgiving ended.
Thanksgiving used to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. When there was a five-Thursday November in 1939, business leaders asked President Franklin D. Roosevelt to move the holiday back one week so that stores could sell their goods before December. Roosevelt agreed and Americans now celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November unless it is a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
History of Black Friday: The Black Friday Name Comes from Philadelphia
You may have heard that the "black" in Black Friday refers to the day's power to push retailers "into the black," a reference to the black ink used on handwritten ledgers to denote profit. People have been saying that Black Friday is a day when retailers earn money. But there is no proof for this. This story was made up by the retailers to make the name sound better. The real origin of the word comes from Philadelphia, where they play an Army-Navy football game on Saturday following Thanksgiving every year.
In the 1950s, '60s, and '70s the game caused a lot of problems for the police. They had to deal with all sorts of fun and games. It was so much work that they started calling this day Black Friday. In Philadelphia, many people from outside the city would come on this day to buy things from local stores.
The Philadelphia retailers started calling this day Black Friday too because they would have a good time on it and make a lot of money from all these people coming to buy their things. When Black Friday became popular nationwide in the 1980s, people forgot about its bad origins and only remembered the myth about black ink being used by businesses.


Due to its unique texture, the product is easily distributed all over the body. It combines with water to form aromatic, warming lather. The innovative formulation ensures gentle skin cleansing, smoothing and hydration.

I am waiting for personal 'news' which is bad enough .. however the women clergy in the Church if England have been waiting for a long time for the Synod to vote on the issue of Women Bishops. The outcome of the Synod result means that anger, hurt and disappoint has permeated throughout the Anglican communion. In a moment like this I wonder how this will be portrayed in the media ? It will seem as though it is another nail in the coffin of religion , and another opportunity that the church has lost touch with life in the 21st century . more than any other time , God's Spirit needs to blow through the Church to energize and heal the rifts.

Alien: River of Pain
By: Joel Harley
"Alien: River of Pain" Audiobook Review
Written by Joel Harley
Published by Audible
Directed by Dirk Maggs
Written by Christopher Golden
2017, 294 minutes, Fiction
Released on 26th April 2017
In space, no-one can hear you scream. In the case of Alien: River of Pain, hearing is about all one can do. An audio drama adaptation of the popular novel by Christopher Golden, it fills in the last of the gaps between Alien and Aliens, detailing a power struggle between the Colonial Marines and scientists of LV-426 (Hadley's Hope, to you and I). And then, of course, a certain xenomorph shows up.
This Audible drama tops its previous entry in terms of star power, counting Anna Friel, Philip Glenister, Alexander Siddig and Colin Salmon among its cast, as well as a few key (but not A-list) Aliens stars. I have trouble staying awake for audiobooks at the best of time, let alone without factoring the dulcet velvety tones of Colin Salmon – and it's Salmon who gets the bulk of the story, as the newly posted Captain of the settlement's Marines. Also spliced in with River of Pain's original story are early scenes from Aliens, kicking off with Ripley's rescue from the deep freeze.
It's a distraction, but a welcome one, and adds to the sense of canonicity of these stories (beginning with Tim Lebbon's Out of the Shadows), especially given the excellent Sigourney Weaver impression by Laurel Lefkow (so spot-on, I thought they had actually hooked Weaver). More of the machinations of Weyland-Yutani are revealed here, and further reason to enjoy seeing Carter Burke get his just dessert in Aliens. Not only that, but the story also works in elements of the story from the film's Director's Cut and the tie-in graphic novel Newt's Tale. Both work better than they did and would have done in the movie, without the worry of undercutting its big reveal. Probably could have done without the marital strife of Newt's parents though.
Directed by audio play maestro Dirk Maggs (whose Judge Dredd: The Day the Law Died adaptation is legitimately better than any Judge Dredd movie), River of Pain boasts impressively high production values, the sound effects and applied filters doing a great job of making it feel like an Alien movie proper. The voice acting is generally high quality too, save for its wooden, irritating Newt (a problem the film also shared, in places). In addition to Glenister and Friel, fellow Brits Mark Warren and Michelle Ryan also round out the cast – you'd be hard-pressed to recognise any of them though, all of them being saddled with dodgy, comically gruff American accents.
At five hours long, River Of Pain is one to be savoured rather than demolished. Those who are similarly afflicted with sleepiness when trying to do audiobooks will have weeks' worth of listening here. And, given that the Alien doesn't properly turn up until after the three-hour mark, it's not as though you'll be up late pumped full of adrenaline either. At times, it's less river of pain, more of a stream.
A well-acted, well-told adaptation of a mostly strong story, Alien: River of Pain is the next best thing to watching the movies (okay, playing Alien: Isolation aside). It even offers something the franchise has been missing for a while now: badass Colin Salmon vs Aliens (ssh, Aliens vs Predator doesn't count). A cinematic Aliens experience, Aliens: River of Pain is almost as good as the real thing.
