The Desolate Era - Book 15, Chapter 22 - Karmic Virtue, Karmic Sin
Book 15, Chapter 22 - Karmic Virtue, Karmic Sin
The Oldjade mountain range was extremely vast, nearly a million kilometers in length; this was comparable to an entire series of minor worlds. For example, the minor world of 'Earth' merely had a circumference of around forty thousand kilometers.
Deep within a mountain.
There were three young individuals walking together. One held a longstaff, the second held an greataxe, while the third was carrying a bow.
"During this trial, we definitely must make it into the top ten of Greatape City." The greataxe-wielding muscular youth was filled with vigor and energy. "Only if we make it into the top ten will we be able to participate in the main competition that spans the entire clan. If we perform well within the main competition, we'll be able to receive tutelage and assistance from the clan."
"If we miss a chance like this, we'd have to wait another ten years. We can't afford to wait." The skinny youth who was carrying the bow on his back agreed.
"Although we are at the Xiantian level, we are still mortals…only by establishing our Zifu can we be considered true Immortal cultivators." The black-robed maiden nodded as well.
The Youngflame clan was far too powerful. Its population was simply enormous, and so the internal struggles within the clan were extremely fierce.
"Look, what's that?" The burly greataxe-wielding youth suddenly raised his head and stared towards the distance with utter astonishment.
"A huge wave…" The skinny youth and the black-robed maiden both stared in astonishment as well.
An enormous wave that seemed to stretch off to infinity was crashing forward. This wave was ten thousand kilometers long; Xiantian lifeforms naturally wouldn't be able to see its end. Upon seeing this massive wave that was even higher than the entire mountain come crashing towards them, they were completely stupefied!
In the face of such world-breaking power, these three young Xiantian individuals weren't able to fight back at all.
Boom boom boom boom…
The towering mountain peaks were completely shattered and blown apart by the giant wave.
"I can't accept this. I haven't even become famous yet."
"I haven't avenged my mother yet. I haven't killed the governor of Greatape City!"
The three of them all had their own dreams and desires.
They had never even left the Oldjade mountain range. For Xiantian lifeforms like them…the furthest they could travel was within a few tens of thousands of kilometers of Greatape City. Naturally…this meant that the ones they had grudges against were also members of the Youngflame clan! Although the top-level Youngflame clansmen, such as the Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals, were all quite unified, at the low-level there were many internal feuds and grudges.
This was just like China, back during Ning's previous life on Earth. China was clearly one country, but within that one country, there were countless grudges and debts, loves and hatreds. Thus, once a clan expanded to a certain level, the number of feuds within it would become tremendous.
If a peerless genius was truly produced…then when the peerless genius went to kill his own clansmen for the sake of revenge, the high-level Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals of the clan, and perhaps even the Celestial Immortal Patriarchs, would help that peerless genius become famous! This would ensure the genius' loyalty.
The Youngflame clan had quite a few evildoers within their ranks, but on the surface, at least, the rules of the entire Youngflame clan were that the members of their clan had to be treated kindly. Every single clansmen, including even the most impoverished of them, would receive at least some basic assistance to help them survive. This was to ensure that the clansmen would understand that the clan was good to them; it was only a few enemy clansmen within the clan who treated them poorly!
The three youngsters were unwilling to accept this.
The infinitely mighty torrent of water from the Primordial Nightriver swept forward, roaring past them…but a strand of river water actually snaked out in front of it, completely surrounding the three youngsters.
"We…" The three youngsters were completely amazed.
They stared blankly at their surroundings. They were now completely surrounded by that strand of river water; it was as though they were in a little bubble! This bubble of water was protecting the three of them, but outside of it…the infinite Nightriver was wildly smashing and destroying everything, causing mountains to crumble and the earth to shake.
"What sort of power is this? This is our Youngflame clan's territory. Who? Who is acting against our Youngflame clan?" The three of them knew very well that the headquarters of their clan was an extremely safe place; there was no way a disaster like this could happen. This sort of disaster…perhaps only the terrifying figures spoken of in legends could cause something like this.
"That's…" The three of them suddenly saw a short, pudgy man who was standing high up in midair. The figure was standing at the very center of the infinite waves, with the aura of a Fiendgod.
The three of them had the feeling that it was this short, pudgy man who was controlling this infinite river.
"If I had this sort of power…" The three of them stared at the surrounding area, where the mountains were crumbling and the earth was breaking apart. This terrifying scene of utter annihilation…although they felt terror in their hearts, they also felt desire.
Greatape City. One of the many cities within the Oldjade mountain range.
This was a place where mortals lived. The Youngflame clan was a tightly stratified place; some places were meant for mortals to live in, while other places only Immortal cultivators could venture to. The entire Greatape City had a population of over ten million, including many Xiantian lifeforms, as well as a few dozen Zifu Disciples and a Wanxiang Adept who managed the city.
"Good heavens…"
"Who is doing this?"
"Who dares do this to our Youngflame clan?" On the streets and in the residences of Greatape City, the numerous denizens were staring in utter terror at the enormous wave that was sweeping towards them from the outside. The wave seemed to be as high as the heavens themselves. All of the mountain ranges outside the city were instantly breaking apart, and the earth itself was shuddering and shaking.
The wave instantly swept over this city.
But…a strand of the water of the Nightriver moved to completely cover it, causing the entire city to be protected with a 'water globe'.
If one viewed things from Ning's standpoint, a city like Greatape City was as unimportant as a toy. Protected by the bubble, it began to sink down into the Nightriver.
Ever since he was young, Ji Ning had been trained by his father to go and kill others. In his youth, he had adventured in the world and engaged in many battles. He naturally wouldn't show any mercy or soft-heartedness to his enemies in the Youngflame clan. However…those people before him were merely ordinary mortals. When Immortal cultivators killed mortals, they would incur an enormous amount of sin. His Celestial Tribulation would most likely be quite difficult; if he was to kill so many mortals at a time like this, the amount of sin that would swirl around him would most likely reach and utterly terrifying level.
In addition…no matter how much hatred Ning felt, he had his limits.
For example, when he took revenge for Spring Grass all those years ago, Ning had slaughtered River He, but had spared his son.
It was the same principle.
Ning's pride forbade him slaughtering the countless ordinary mortals of the Youngflame clan.
Will these mortals eventually become Immortal cultivators? Would they become powerful experts, one day?
Let them come! They can come as they please!
If they are able to kill me, Ji Ning, then I have no one to blame but myself! However…once they act against me, I definitely will show no mercy!
"A Fiendgod."
"An Immortal?"
"Good heavens."
The countless ordinary mortals of the Youngflame clan had escaped this disaster unscathed. They kept their heads raised, watching everything unfold. Upon seeing the short, pudgy man who was commanding the waters of the river, they were filled with the utmost of terror.
After killing Old Demon Windraiser, Ning had immediately begun to destroy the surrounding area, shattering all of the foundation-bases. When he made his move, he had Uncle White, Little Qing, and Mu Northson go to Old Demon Windraiser's palace. Although the palace had been badly damaged, Uncle White immediately began to lay down formations here. The first thing he did was instantly set up a trapping formation that was ten thousand kilometers in length…and next, he began to add layers of even more formidable formations!
Ning had spared no expense on this trip. He had bought quite a few unique treasures from the Heavenly Treasures Mountain, and the expense was no less than the amount he had spent to set up formations for Swallow Mountain.
However, because Uncle White wouldn't have enough time to set up the formation…Uncle White had chosen formations that could be established in a very short period of time.
Although these formations were inferior to those three supremely savage formations of Swallow Mountain, Uncle White's scheme still involved setting up ninety-two mighty formations, all of which were within the ten thousand kilometer area. If one didn't include the three supremely savage formations, not even the formations layout of Swallow Mountain was this insane!
"Quick, flee."
"Quick!"
Ning didn't kill the mortals.
However…Ning showed no mercy to the Immortal cultivators. After destroying many of the formation-bases, their side was now able to use void blinks to engage in spatial teleportations! Some Immortal cultivators were fleeing in panic, but most were swept up by the Nightriver. Ning certainly didn't have the inclination to go and protect those Immortal cultivators.
"Kill, kill, KILL!" Mu Northson was the most savage of all. He was actually the first to charge out of Uncle White's formations. Commanding the Winged Immortal golem, he unleashed the Seven Ruinous Thunderwinds to wildly kill all before him.
Primal Daoists? Wanxiang Adepts? Zifu Disciples?
All members of the Youngflame clan were to die!
Seeing this, Ning couldn't help but secretly sigh to himself…but he didn't move to stop him. "If Cousin was here, she would also probably act in such a crazed manner. Still…I can't let junior apprentice-brother kill too many. Sin is already beginning to accumulate around him." Ning's divine sense had previously seen that the amount of karmic sin and karmic virtue around Northson was ordinary, but now…a corrosive aura of sin was slowly beginning to manifest.
It must be understood that very, very little sin would accrue from the killing of Immortal cultivators.
However, Northson was simply far too powerful. What he was engaging in was sheer butchery, and so there would still be the accrual of some sin. In addition, given that he was killing so many…the amount of sin surrounding him had increased by quite a bit.
"Junior apprentice-brother is weak. If he accrues too much sin…" Ning willed it, and the waters of the Nightriver became even more ferocious. In fact, they began to intentionally sweep towards the groups of fleeing Immortal cultivators, causing many of them to perish. Ning had always been surrounded by the golden light of karmic virtue, albeit just a little bit. Still, he clearly had reached that level.
Now that Ning was controlling the Nightriver to attack, however…the aura of golden karmic virtue around Ning began to slowly weaken…before eventually transforming into a mere fresh aura of virtue!
The density and range of that fresh aura of virtue was beginning to drop as well.
"Kill, kill, kill…"
Hatred.
The baleful auras of the slain Immortal cultivators began to swirl around Ning, causing the three Darknorth swords in Ning's body to absorb them and transform them. When Ning had slaughtered many Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals during his battle at the Eastwoods mountain range, the Darknorth swords had reached a level of power that was comparable to that of top-grade Immortal-ranked flying swords. This time, he killed even more Immortal cultivators! However, they were all very weak, and so the amount of baleful aura Ning absorbed from them was even less than the amount he had absorbed from the bronze-armored Fiendguards.
Still…there was a significant drop in Ning's karmic virtue as he continued to butcher so many Immortal cultivators.
"Where are they? Where'd they go?!" Northson suddenly discovered that there were no more targets near him. Suddenly…he saw a commandery city in the distance, a city which Ning had protected and spared with the Nightriver. A city with many ordinary mortals.
Northson's eyes were completely bloodshot. He was in a completely berserk mode; he couldn't even differentiate between mortals and Immortal cultivators right now.
He immediately flew out, planning to continue the slaughter.
"Junior apprentice-brother, those are mortals! Mortals!"
"So what if they are?! Every member of the Youngflame clan deserves to die!" Northson was utterly berserk.
Ning roared back angrily, "If you kill them, karmic sinflames will descend and you will die as well!"
When Ning killed Old Demon Windraiser and destroyed the local formation-bases, the many Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals in the surrounding areas of the Oldjade mountains had noticed it. They had all activated their own formations, at least ensuring that they could protect their parts of the Oldjade mountain range. The hundred thousand kilometer region that had been controlled by Old Demon Windraiser, however, was completely unprotected. They didn't have a chance to do anything; the formation-bases had all been destroyed, after all.
The Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals were all hovering in midair within the range of their formations, staring at the distant short, pudgy man who was controlling the Nightriver to destroy the world.
"To act with such madness…it must be Ji Ning. As for that person who is releasing the Seven Ruinous Thunderwinds, it must be that 'Mu Northson'."
"Attack. Let's attack!"
"Are we just going to sit here and wait?"
Some of the Loose Immortals were enraged.
"The Patriarchs have already instructed that if Ji Ning comes, we are forbidden from engaging him. We need to protect the clan as best as we can, while everything else will be left to them. I've already shattered the talisman; I trust that the Celestial Immortal Patriarchs will soon arrive," a green-haired Immortal said in a low voice.

Gloves can be considered as a must for bike rides in winter. Especially when you are riding long distances, the cold that hits your hands may return to you as a lethargy and braking disruption on your fingers. Depending on the weather, the thickness may vary, but it is useful to keep a pair of gloves in pockets.
De Marchi, who've been in the Italian cycling world since 1946, are especially famous for their collection named Heritage and are one of the few remaining companies which still insist on manufacturing in Italy. The brand's technical fabrics are quite successful and products on offer are pretty stylish.
De Marchi Cortina winter gloves are one of the best I have ever used lately. In fact, I am always sceptical for the products that offer 'all in one' because there is always a 'but' for such products. I used to wear the Castelli Diluvio model last winter and I often had the problem of excessive sweating, but De Marchi Cortina is not at a disturbing level for sweating, even though it is both wind and water resistant. De Marchi uses three different layers on the outside and this naturally increases the resistance of the gloves against cold. I had the chance to test the gloves on many descents with different lengths and my hands never got cold. Not using velcro on the wrist part can be considered as an advantage or disadvantage depending on the person. It didn't bother me because my wrists are not so terribly thin. However the fabric used on the wrist is different from the glove in general and it covers the wrists strongly. In this case it's the best to be careful about choosing the right size from size chart.
I haven't had the chance to test the resistant against water because I have never ridden under the rain but all my cycling clothes marketed for water resistance have had problems with water after a certain amount of time. The endurance of such products can be considered successful in terms of creating time for you to find somewhere in order to wait the rain stops. So if you continue to ride under constant rain, they will surely let the water pass inside, but it is also a fact that they protect you from getting wet till a certain point if you're lucky enough to find a place.
The inner part and the silicone prints provide great advantage for comfort and handlebar grip. The fit of the gloves is a bit wider. I think you should have one size smaller than the gloves you normally wear, but -once again- you should examine the size chart.
In summary, I really like the feeling and performance of the De Marchi Cortina gloves and it seems that I'll use it for whole winter.

A tree in the grounds of an Edinburgh school crashed to the ground on to a path which would normally be busy with children.
Police were called when the tree fell at the St Margaret's School, on East Suffolk Road, yesterday at 3:30pm – the time when, during term, children would be leaving for the day.
Two cars were also damaged in the incident and the road was cordoned off while an investigation was mounted.
An emergency response vehicle from the city council also attended, and it is believed that the remainder of the tree will be removed as a safety precaution.


Brock Boeser's tiebreaking goal at 12:17 of the third period led the visiting Vancouver Canucks to a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
Boeser gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead on with an unassisted marker on a slap shot off a Tampa Bay giveaway. It was the first goal of 2018-19 for Boeser, who led the Canucks in scoring as a rookie last season but had struggled in his first three games of the current campaign.
The Canucks posted a second win in their first four games, while the Lightning took their first loss in two games this season.
Rookie Elias Pettersson, with his team-leading fourth goal of the season, Jake Virtanen and Markus Granlund also tallied for the Canucks.
Brayden Point scored for Tampa Bay.
Vancouver goaltender Anders Nilsson posted 33 saves as the Lightning outshot the Canucks 34-28.
Canucks coach Travis Green gave the backup goaltender his first start of the season. Nilsson's job security has been questioned after he posted a poor 7-14-4 record and .901 save percentage last season. But Nilsson, displaying a more upright stance rather than the extremely low crouch he displayed last season, was steady and could not be faulted on the only goal he allowed.
Tyler Johnson made his season debut for the Lightning after missing the first game due to an upper-body injury that has bothered him for the past two weeks. Normally a centre, he played wing on the second line with Point and Yanni Gourde.
Johnson's hard work helped the Lightning get on the scoreboard first. His attempts to dig for the puck in front of the Vancouver net led to Point's goal on a one-timer off a short pass from Gourde following a rebound.
Pettersson drew the Canucks even at 11:07 of the third period as he deflected Derrick Pouliot's shot in mid-air.
A minute and 10 seconds later, Boeser gave the Canucks their first lead of the game before Virtanen and Granlund rounded out the scoring with empty-net tallies in the last two minutes. Virtanen, who has called upon by Green to produce more offence, also recorded an assist.

"From Kant to Schelling to Process Metaphysics: On the Way to Ecological Civilization" by Arran Gare
on June 20, 2012 June 20, 2012 By Matthew David Segall	5 Comments
I stumbled upon this great essay on Schelling and process metaphysics recently published in the journal Cosmos and History by Prof. Arran Gare. He really makes it clear how compatible Schelling's Naturphilosophie is with Whitehead's cosmological scheme.
"From Kant to Schelling to Process Metaphysics: On the Way to Ecological Civilization"
Here is a sample:
Schelling's work is now more relevant than ever before. The situation we are in was very succinctly summed up by Richard Tarnas: "In the absence of any viable, embracing cultural vision, old assumptions remain blunderingly in force, providing an increasingly unworkable and dangerous blueprint for human thought and activity." By overcoming the limitation of Kant's philosophy, Schelling has provided the basis for definitively transcending scientific materialism, in doing so, overcoming the opposition between science and the humanities and enabling people to understand themselves as culturally formed, socially situated, creative participants within nature. Most importantly, Schelling confronted and charted a path to overcome the nihilism into which European civilization was and is descending, a nihilism that is reaching its apogee in the deification of the global market, postmodern fragmentation and the specter of global ecocide. In his later work on myth and revelation Schelling noted that "through the virtually unrestricted expansion of world relations… the Orient and the Occident are not merely coming into contract with one another, but are being compelled … to fuse into one and the same consciousness, into one consciousness that should for this reason alone be expanded into a world-consciousness." While overcoming the parochialism of the European Weltanschauung, this will also necessitate breaking free from past forms of religion; but what is true in mythology and revelation should be preserved, providing a religious dimension to this world-consciousness. To this end, Schelling argued, it will be necessary to develop a "philosophical religion", addressing and integrating the freedom of existence, historical phenomena and nature into an expanded Weltanschauung inclusive enough to overcome philosophy's compulsive tendency to splinter off into mutually exclusive schools of thought. Schelling noted that at the time of his lecture this philosophical religion did not yet exist. Lovelock's notion of Gaia, transcending the parochialism of particular civilizations, concurring with Schelling's philosophy of nature and offering a religious dimension to scientific theory, can be seen as a significant contribution to the development of this philosophical religion. By recognizing Schelling's place in the history of philosophy and in science we can now appreciate the process metaphysicians and the scientists influence by them not merely as isolated thinkers of brilliance, but as part of a powerful tradition of thought working towards the creation of a global civilization. This tradition is continuing Schelling's struggle against nihilism and his integral view of humans as creative historical agents within nature, in which philosophy, science, the arts and the humanities are playing a crucial role in the self-creation of humanity and of life on Earth. We can now see the lineaments of this new civilization emerging in response to the global ecological crisis as the ecological civilization being called for by Chinese environmentalists, a call now being taken up internationally.

De dans der bruid is een anonieme 16e-eeuwse kopie van De boerenbruiloftsdans van Pieter Bruegel I. Het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen kocht het werk in 1929 aan op een veiling van Joseph Spiridon te Berlijn. Het paneel meet 119,5 x 168,5 x 0,7 cm.

Context
Al vroeg gebruikten de makers van getijdenboeken boeren om de voortgang van het jaar aan te geven. De werkende boeren, die andere activiteiten uitvoerden op andere tijdstippen in het jaar, toonden hoe de wereld werkte. Deze was opgebouwd als een feodale standenmaatschappij en bestond uit zij die de adel die vocht, de clerus die bad en de boeren die werkten.

De oudste voorstellingen tonen hardwerkende boeren. Vanaf het midden van de zestiende eeuw verschijnen echter steeds meer taferelen waarin ze zich ontspannen. Veel van deze voorstellingen gaan terug op voorbeelden van Pieter Brueghel I. De feestende, zondigende en lome boeren gingen volledig in tegen de contemporaine moraal die een godsvruchtig, beschaafd en vlijtig leven verheerlijkte. De deftige burgers bouwden hun status zelf op en waren daar afhankelijk van. Ze konden dat respect dan ook snel weer kwijt raken. De boeren hadden echter niets te verliezen en gaven zich over aan losbandig gedrag.

De dans der bruid toont dan ook dat de boeren zich volledig laten gaan. Ze zijn verwikkeld in een wilde dans, die in niets lijkt op de stijve dansen van rijke burgerij. Deze dansten binnenskamers in het gelid en hielden armen en benen tegen het lichaam gedrukt. Ook de opvoeding hamerde er steeds op dat men zijn bewegingen moest beheersen. De controle over het lichaam verliezen was uit den boze, zeker in het openbaar. Daar trokken de boeren zich echter niets van aan. Ze dansten uitbundig in open lucht, armen en benen vliegen alle kanten uit. Compleet ongepast, volgens rijke burgers. Dat hield hen echter niet tegen de panelen gretig te bestellen. Ze beeldden een andere wereld voor, één waarvoor gewaarschuwd moest worden.

Beschrijving

Beweging
In De dans der bruid suggereren de houdingen van de figuren en de weldoordachte, ellipsvormige compositie het dansen. De beweging zit in het volledige schilderij vervat en wordt versterkt door de rode, witte en groene kleuraccenten. De blik van de toeschouwer blijft ronddwalen over het paneel, op zoek naar het moeilijk vindbare hoofdpersonage. Dat is de bruid, die centraal in het schilderij dans in een zwarte jurk, de haren wapperend in de wind. De verwarring zit zowel in de voorstelling als in de ervaring van dit schilderij. Vorm en inhoud vallen samen.

De kunstenaar opteerde voor een vogelvluchtperspectief en hoge horizon. De figuren verkleinen zeer sterk naar de bovenzijde van het schilderij toe. Dat geeft nog meer kracht aan de figuren op de voorgrond van het werk. Een slingerende lijn van dansende boeren beweegt zich van de achter- naar voorgrond toe. Deze bestaat uit koppels mannen en vrouwen die per twee ronddraaien. Twee figuren op de voorgrond, de leunende toeschouwer links en de doedelzakspeler rechts, sluiten de compositie af.

Oorspronkelijk lag de gezichtslijn dicht bij de bovenkant van het schilderij. Dat werd in de loop der tijd gewijzigd. Op het oorspronkelijke paneel eindigt de compacte groep van pratende figuren bij de horizon. In deze Dans der bruid werden echter enkele boerderijen, huizen, een kerk en struikgewas toegevoegd. De kunstenaar van het paneel uit het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen liet enkele figuren op de achtergrond weg en wijzigde van anderen hun houding of gebaren. De afgeruimde feesttafel links en de eretafel van de bruid rechts ontbreken evenzeer. Deze opmerkelijke verschillen zijn waarschijnlijk toe te schrijven aan de overschilderde strook bovenaan het schilderij. De oude restaurator zou, bij gebrek aan kennis van het origineel, het totaal beschadigde bovenste gedeelte volledig fantastisch hebben bijgeschilderd. Wanneer deze toevoeging in de negentiende eeuw precies gebeurde, blijft onduidelijk.

Kopieën
Door Prof. Dr. Max J. Friedländer werd het werk terecht beschouwd als een goede oude kopie. De dans der bruid geeft een juist denkbeeld over het talent van Pieter Bruegel, door velen beschouwd als een van de grootste figuren uit de West-Europese schilderkunst.

Een kopie in de Gemäldegalerie der Staatlichen Museen Preussischer Kulturbesitz werd door R. Van Bastelaer en Hulin de Loo aan Pieter Breughel de Jonge toegeschreven. Een fragment van een kopie in Brussels privébezit wordt door G. Marlier eveneens aan hem toegeschreven. De penseelvoering en het coloriet van De dans der bruid toont aan dat het in dit schilderij niet gaat om een kopie door een van Bruegels zonen, maar dat het werk wel kort na het originele werk (De bruiloftsdans in de openlucht, 1566) ontstond.

FIFA 18 fans have been treated to yet another patch as EA Sports battles to improve the game.
The Vancouver-based developer is currently under fire from gamers who are calling for substantial changes to this year's game.
The movement, called #FIXFIFA, has already amassed support from around the world – with a change.org petition boasting more than 23,000 signatures.
The Weekend League, Ultimate Team packs and general gameplay have all been targeted.
The latest patch makes a number of key changes – including fixing incorrect penalty calls where a defender legally wins a header but also collides with an attacking player.
Elsewhere, goalkeepers have been improved – now no longer staying on the ground for too long or failing to gather loose balls.
Other, more general bugs have also been removed.
These include players being unable to make quick subs if they had used all their available pauses and the game freezing when quickly selecting an opponent in Squad Battles.
Here is the full list of changes – currently available on PC, but coming to console imminently.
– Incorrect penalty calls where a defender legally wins a header but also collides with an attacking player.
– Goalkeepers staying on the ground too long, not attempting to gather the ball, when the ball was within reach after a save.
– Goalkeepers sometimes not going for the ball after a back pass.
– Players getting a message that there are no attempts remaining in the current Daily Knockout Tournament when their final attempt is still active.
– The game freezing when quickly selecting an opponent in Squad Battles immediately after getting to the Opponent Selection screen.
– Corrected some of the text for the squad requirements in FUT Champions.
– A visual issue with an incorrect overall player rating showing in the Player Performance screen of the Pause Menu in certain situations.
-Added additional matchmaking regions in Pro Clubs.
– Players being unable to make quick subs if they had used all their available pauses.
– The trophy not being presented in the Pro Clubs Championship celebration.
– Captains disconnecting from Pro Clubs matches when Voice Chat is disabled via game launcher.
– Players signed to pre-contracts, in the first season, not coming to your team if the first summer transfer window was disabled during your Career Mode setup.
– Some player attributes were missing from the Squad HUB.
-The tournament tree in the Women's International Cup being empty after the semifinals.
– Repetitive whistling that was heard in some stadiums.
– Some visual issues with the Bundesliga broadcast package.
– Updates to a number of crests and kits.
Let's hope EA Sports continues to improve things – something tells us there's still plenty more on the list.

Radical new treatment system lights up cancer therapy
Researchers from The Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo have developed a streamlined photo-uncaging system for photodynamic cancer therapy, using a pulse of light for tumor-specific activation of a cancer-fighting agent
村田先生(1200_800)r2.jpg
Tokyo, Japan – One approach to treating cancer is photodynamic therapy using photo-uncaging systems, in which light is used to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor. However, suitable agents must be stable under visible light, have an anti-tumor effect in low-oxygen environments, and have the ability to be activated by low-energy tissue-penetrative red light – a combination of properties that is difficult to achieve. Now, a team from The Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo has developed a new platform that uses, for the first time, organorhodium(III) phthalocyanine complexes to achieve this combination of traits.
Conventional photodynamic techniques depend on the formation of reactive oxygen species to destroy tumor cells, but many tumors contain environments that lack oxygen. Photo-uncaging systems, where the agent is administered in an inactive form and then activated, or "uncaged", in the location of the tumor, address this issue. They uncage alkyl radicals, which are known to be capable of inducing cell death both with and without the presence of oxygen. Alkyl radicals are converted into terminal aldehydes in the presence of oxygen, and these terminal aldehydes can also induce cell death. The team used molecules called "organorhodium(III) phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes" to develop, for the first time, a novel platform for photo-uncaging therapy.
"The organorhodium(III) phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes we developed are highly stable under ambient light during the processes of synthesis, purification, and measurement, but can be activated by a laser that gives out nanosecond pulses of red light," explains lead author Kei Murata. These nanosecond-pulsing lasers (pulsing for a billionth of a second) are relatively easy for medical staff to handle.
They went on to show that the compounds that were released after the organorhodium(III) phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes were activated showed toxicity to HeLa cells, a cell line developed from cancer, indicating that these compounds would have the ability to fight cancer if released inside a tumor.
"Our new technology could allow the photochemical generation of a wide variety of alkyl radicals and aldehydes, making possible the site-selective release of various bioactive molecules," says senior author Kazuyuki Ishii. As an improvement on other photo-uncaging systems, it opens an exciting new avenue for the treatment of cancer by phototherapy.
The article, "Two-Photon, Red Light Uncaging of Alkyl Radicals from Organorhodium(III) Phthalocyanine Complexes", was published in Chemical Communications.

One of the most significant things you must learn with your site is that you have to diversify your income. While the old saying goes: "don't put your entire eggs in one basket!" Additionally it rings true to using an income, as this rings true to most of our everyday lives.
Let's say you have nearly all of your adverts with Google AdSense. Say that it generates up ninety days of one's website's income. Heaven forbid if Google must ever cancel your account! You'd lose ninety days of one's site revenue, then what would you do? Would you be able to recover immediately? A lot of people wouldn't. I had a buddy lately get his Google AdSense account terminated for reasons not known to him. They said that he was making fake clicks (which he wasn't) and that's all of the information they would give him. Fortuitously he could appeal your decision and get his bill reinstated, although not many people are that happy!
When you have a website, diversify your earnings by not merely using Pay Per Click vendors, but maybe make use of a Direct Leads sponsor, a per action" sponsor, or even promote other goods or services and get paid a commission per sale.
It is always best to watch the performance of your site. Make certain that you are checking your numbers to change out the people that are not operating as well and see which adverts and banners are performing the best. It is also recommended to switch your banners every few months anyway to get "fresh blood" on your site. If you have an opinion about jewelry, you will seemingly require to explore about read more. Your surfers will become "banner blind" after awhile and will learn how to ignore your entire ads and ads.
Diversifying your earnings also incorporates opening other sites. To get supplementary information, please consider looking at: http://samsung.ssu.ac.kr/index.php?mid=s...rl=2596977. Currently I've many sites that income is got by me from. About 4 weeks ago, Google barred certainly one of my sites from their se! This can be a common thing to happen amongst Internet Marketers. Seemingly my site had way too many outgoing links to sponsor ads and they considered it a "link farm." But that site at the time was making me about $1000/month. If you desire to learn additional info about clicky, we know of heaps of databases people might think about investigating. Can you imagine the disaster that will have been, If I did not have every one of my other internet sites to get the slack?
Still another method to broaden your websites are to own many of them on different servers. Hosting is dirt low priced today. If you can put a couple of of these on a $5.99 monthly machine and purchase a value of hosting, you are doing the right thing. Not only does it have search engine benefits, but when certainly one of your servers should go down, not all your sites are down simultaneously.
Therefore remember to broaden your revenue and you'll be glad when you're having a slow sales month on one of your affiliate programs, each of the other people may just grab the slack!.

Euromed policies: «Bright spots»
Odile Chenal - 22/05/2008
Gaps seem to get deeper and changes are tenuous: the trans-Mediterranean cultural cooperation moves within a political context, which we could qualify as «gloomy».
The main international actors address themselves in terms of opposition and conflict rather than overcome them. The break line that sets off from Israel and Palestine keeps dividing the world according to political layouts which are often abstract when confronted with the actual situation of the local populations. The authoritarian regimes of the Maghreb and Middle East barely offer some scant signs of opening, while the political-religious divisions grow stronger within those same societies.
It would seem that the general political context needs to maintain a great part of the cultural exchanges between Europe and the Southern and Eastern regions of the Mediterranean at the level of rituals and events that only lead to superficial consequences.
However, by focusing closer on the particular field of contemporary creation, we can observe that for many years now there have been ferment, movements, transitions: "bright spots" to quote Laila Hourani's fine expression.
What's moving?
- First of all, the cultural operators and artists of North Africa and the Middle East. The initiatives of artists and cultural managers (who are often the same person!) have lead in a few years to a burgeoning of independent artistic spaces, as well as of professional platforms and regional cultural networks. The artistic actors of the region participate much more frequently to international artistic events, and their European counterparts are turning to them with increasing interest.
For those who have to overcome many daily obstacles, face bureaucracies, take political risks and sometimes even physical ones, things obviously don't seem so easy. But the work of the artistic managers, of those who travel endlessly all around the Mediterranean, is bearing its fruit.
Quite often also thanks to the support of European and international colleagues, networks and financers.
- As it is clear that, in these last years, European cultural operators, both private and public, have increasingly started to turn their attention towards the artistic scene of Arab countries and of Turkey.
The reason behind this opening is obviously not only due to an interest for art. The consequences of 9/11, international terrorism, the social tensions in Europe concerning immigrant communities, but also the solidarity and approach in terms of development, combine with a sort of "post-orientalism" and with the quest for new artistic inspirations. We could ask ourselves the reason for this "interest", but as it is, it results in exchanges, frees some resources and opens spaces for mutual knowledge (and recognition). European partners, it is true, arrive with their own agendas and programmes, their desire for "intercultural dialogue", and a frequent lack of knowledge of the grounds, however, they come.
- The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership – and notably its third pillar, the cultural and human one – has a scarce impact in the field of contemporary creation. Most of the criticism it receives is justified: a mainly bilateral orientation, a lack of adaptation to the needs of the actors of the civil society, its granting priority to heritage rather than to creation… But there is a framework and – though it remains an institutional instrument in the hands of institutional actors – it can and must be debated, invested and exploited as much as possible, and with some success, as prove it some positive repercussions like for example its programmes for youths.
The Anna Lindh Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures also illustrates this situation quite well. Within her institutional and inter-governmental philosophy, this Foundation is still seeking its identity, and the cultural actors of the trans-Mediterranean cooperation have not perceived the effects of its existence yet. However, some of the associated networks, as some of the projects they supported, offer as many possibilities of investment and expansion. It is a long-term task but it is also up to the civil actors to carry it out.
Which lines of work for European partners?
The think tank of the European Foundation for Culture decided to have an open discussion on the context of contemporary artistic creation. During these debates, several lines of work were drawn. I wish to recall three of these.
- New geographies
The Mediterranean must be crossed in all possible directions. The flow of exchanges is still largely dominated by the colonial lines of force, whereas the migratory movements and the frameworks are set in place by the European Union. If we don't venture beyond these routes, we run the risk of freezing ourselves in the same encounters, like prisoners of mental and political boundaries defined by past cartographies, consequently denying ourselves the creativity that new itineraries can offer.
A large part of the Balkans is also Mediterranean – we tend to forget that! – and the artists and cultural actors of this region have several elements of encounter with their Southern counterparts. Whether it be the State's role, the absence of a stable political framework for Culture, the survival of independent organisations, the difficult change of cultural institutions or even more the deep gap between local public and international recognition, the fields of mutual recognition and the potential artistic synergies between these regions are numerous though unexploited. They must be fostered and supported!
In addition, cultural cooperation from one side to the other of the Mediterranean is not only a subject matter for the residents at the shore of the Mediterranean: the participants to the debates have often expressed a lively interest in developing exchanges, experiences and artistic projects with the entirety of their Central and Eastern European partners.
Lastly, as concerns the geography of exchanges, the time has come to encourage a greater mobility from North to South of the Mediterranean (see for example the trans-Mediterranean placement project) or, an often more difficult task, between Maghreb and Middle Eastern States.
- Capacity building
This powerful expression generally centres on developing the capacity of … others!
However, cooperation entails a two-way work: it cannot be realised without developing the intercultural capacities of both sides starting from the project promoters but also from producers, art critics and, needless to say, financers. These exchanges are realised within a context of political end economic inequality, and this mutual apprenticeship will turn useful only by taking into account the respective contexts, and by debating and negotiating on the differences, including aesthetical ones.
Capacity building requires training in the traditional sense. It also requires an informal apprenticeship. Time to prepare or assess each other's projects, non institutional spaces for debate, artist meetings, art critics, public and private actors of trans-Mediterranean cooperation: financers should support these moments and spaces of intercultural apprenticeship. The proliferation of initiatives should certainly not be feared in this case! Though it could lead to some confusion at first, one can only wish for a multiplication of exchanges. However, under two conditions: that such meetings always open up to new voices and overcome the "gate keepers", and that the conditions for a truly open debate be sought beforehand.
- Cultural Policies
Cultural policies are seen as a taboo in the trans-Mediterranean dialogue. They are hardly ever mentioned, as if considered meaningless in the current political context, as if too risky to speak of. Not much is known about the cultural policies of Arabic countries; and there are some, though inadequate. Supporting the studies on these policies as well as on local cultural policies - which are often more accessible - could represent a first step. In addition, studies on the general creative situation and on the diffusion of culture could also be carried out: what do we know of a rapidly evolving contemporary art market or of the emerging cultural industries? What do know of the impact of festivals and of the public they draw?
Gathering data is notoriously difficult, as is finding out if there is any. But the example of other European regions proves it: only by acquiring some instruments can cultural actors start to influence and debate on cultural policies on different levels. This requires a long term investment: financing and publishing researches, training young researchers, creating university modules… The European Union, the Arab and European foundations, including the Anna Lindh Foundation could give a good example of public/private partnership through this investment.
These are only a few lines of work. Our debates have lead to many others, and still more are present in this lively cultural field. In his remarkable work Glances at Arab distress *, Samir Kassir sketched a rather gloomy scene of the situation of the Arab world, though including some encouraging perspectives, notably by the means of cultural cooperation: "Further to the prompting of a circulation of ideas and cultural goods in the Arab world, despite the persistency of significant obstacles, the effects of a practically concurrent event are added: the emergence of an integration of the Arab cultural field with the global mosaic".
All the actors of this mosaic should pursue and intensify this integration, also in consideration of the fact that it's in their own interest!

Greenland ice loss may not be as severe as believed, new study suggests
The ice melt from Greenland's glaciers may not be as bad as originally believed. New research presented in Nature suggests that the recently seen rapid ice loss will eventually slow to limited levels, ultimately having a small impact over the next almost 200 years. The researchers' key finding was that Greenland's outlet glaciers, which allow surface water to run off into the ocean, regularly expand and retreat. By accounting for that behavior in a new computer model, the research team determined that Greenland's glaciers are likely to contribute only 0.75 to 1.2 inches of water to the sea level between now and 2200, assuming that the earth's temperature rises about 5 degrees Fahrenheit during that time.
Researchers have been aware of a possible discrepancy in sea level rise measurements due to the outlet glaciers for a while now, but this team is the first to fully address it. In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) most recent report on the subject, the group actually disregarded Greenland's outlet glaciers due to there being no proper projection of how they move and lose water, reports LiveScience. This year, the IPCC will be using the team's new information to inform its study. But while the researchers believe that Greenland's glaciers will be better off than previously predicted, costal towns will still have to adapt to rising sea levels as climate change becomes more severe.
