Review of my first played Global War 1936 V. 3 game
AlphaAeffchen last edited by AlphaAeffchen
i played my first game of Global War 1936 v.3. We really liked it. There are only some minor problems which can be solved easy. There is only one bigger problem we saw from a gameplay perspective.
The mechanics of the game are great and fun to play. I really like that you have much better land combat in this game. There is the option of blitzing (which is total different to axis and allies). Artillery having first strike is really cool. The better aa gun rules make much more sense and air superiority fights are super fun. Also its really good that amphibous assaults are much more difficult to do than in other games. Subamarine warfare is very interesting and you can make whole strategys which are build on it. The map is awesome and the terrain features are great. There are nice little side plots like spanish civil war and china which gives you at least some action in the first rounds when you play 1936. This game has much more strategic depth which is super fun to play. Also the game balance seems to be good but we did just one test game…
Now i come to my complaints:
Sea Units
I really like the land and air units. I have no problem to distinguish them. The problem with sea units are the cruisers. There are light cruisers, attack cruisers (or battles cruisers i just dont know the name right now) and heavy cruisers. There are a few problems. You cant buy at HBG enough different cruiser types (also they are not discribed as heavy or attack cruisers) on their homepage. I bought many light cruisers for Japan and Germany and its hard to distinguish them. It just slows the gamespeed. We will play our next game with just one cruiser type. Also the WW1 ships are just slowing the game speed and are different to distinguish (coastel subs for example). I ordered the models for the ww 1 ships. But we will replace them with normal WW2 ships to see if it speeds up the game.
I have to say this is just a minor problem.
South Amerika
Well it looks nice on the map but it has no real strategic purpose and is a really boring side plot which is a waste of time. I didnt played the Latin Amerika expansion. I will have a look at it. Perhaps this makes this part of the map more fun. In our next game we will play without South Amerika to save time and speed up the game.
This is also just a minor problem which is not a big deal.
The Comintern
Here lays the biggest problem. You can keep them out of the game very very long. If Germany doesnt go for Barbarossa (whic is a possible strategy in our group). You can keep them at 8 ipp a very very long time. This is not a balance problem but my friend who played the Comintern said that he didnt had fun to play the Nation Rusia because he could not do anything with Russia (except spanish civil war) for a very long time. At 1939 he gets 6 ipp everey round (we play low luck so the income role is always the middle value of 12 so its 6 ipp every round wartime income for a d 12). This means that you have a long time where you only move units around and cant do combat. We all totally understand why this is the case but from a palyer perspective its boring. The axis player and me (i played the allies) had really fun playing the game. Because we had much more stuff to do (battles early in the game and more strategic moves to plan)…
Our solution is that the CCP (the CCP is also palyed by the Comintern player) can choose one chinese warlord which will be influenced at their first round (in other words their first influence role on a warlord on their first turn is always a hit). Also we will test what happens if china is attacked from Japan and all warlords will go to CCP and not to KMT. Through these changes the Cominterm player will have more to do in the early game and it will be more fun for him to play the game because he has more to do in China (Our Cominterm player liked the game in genereal he really liked the idea behind CCP). I hope our idea doesnt break the balance. We will see.
With our changes to speed up the game and the CCP changes this problem should be solved.
This is one of the best if not the best game i ever played. Im really happy that i bought this game. I cant wait to play again. This game is awesome.

Most light cruiser types are available from HBG, but some will need painting. Apart from the ones at setup, we don't tend to build many new ones in our games. Some players paint the tip of their ships with different colors to distinguish them. I don't but we get used to the different models over time.
I don't recommend changing the rules of the games after only one game, but I get your point that the Comintern player has much to do until he is at war.
Our South American pieces also gather dust, but the game is also based on history, so you can't expect Japan to invade Brazil !
Keep at it. It's a great game.

Kind of echoing @Noneshallpass here, but I think you can make the ships work in different ways. As he pointed out, a lot of people will paint the tips different colors to differentiate, or you could use different color chips. I'm more like you two though and like a unique sculpt.
I think you can find most of these on their site. Look at the 3D printed units section too. Some nations have battlecruisers there. True, you'd need to paint them, but their there.
You could also get a little creative. Use the neutral nation cruiser as a "light cruiser" if needed, and use the A&A OOB cruisers as your Heavy Cruisers. Maybe use the OOB battleships as your battlecruisers, and buy the HBG battleship types for your fast and regular battleships? Just thinking out loud.
I'm with you of course on South America. But as @Noneshallpass said, it's based in history, and there wasn't much happening there. I will say though that the Latin America expansion is the way to go to get them in. I plan to use that every game for the very reasons you mention, I want to get that part of the world in the game!
As for the USSR, I kind of get what you're saying. But at the same time, there's a lot for them to do. The Chinese and Spanish Civil wars will certainly be fun to play. And you of course will need to be prepared as the USSR. Border clashes with the Japanese are in play too.
Don't forget that the USSR can attack minor nations starting July 1939. So while that won't bring their income up, it's still something to do if the Axis have left them alone.
The maximum time the USSR might spend at 8 IPP is 6 turns. So, it's not too crazy I suppose, especially since those early turns will go a bit quicker with less combat movement and battles to play out. But if the Axis are going out of their way to make sure the USSR doesn't increase at all until July 1939, I'd be surprised to hear that is fully a good thing for the Axis!
I think there's enough side stuff happening to keep the Comintern player involved, but maybe that's just me!

I've used the BB from classic game as Heavy Cruisers. Can file a bit and paint.
The last game I played I was the Comintern and I actually found it pretty interesting because you had to come up with a strategy to win while at the same time pretending to cooperate with both other sides to keep them from attacking you. To clarify what's been said here, the Russians can declare war on anyone (except CCP) starting in 1939. Of course you have to be careful with that because you will certainly want to raise your income before unleashing the Germans on you. It will be a huge mistake for you not to declare war on Germany before they declare war on you because then they get to tee off on you for one turn. You can negate that powerful tool at their disposal if you declare first. I like to take the opportunity to take key minor powers that will hamper the Allies, knowing that if they aren't as free to declare war on you as you are on them.
The game that's played above the board between the players is the most fun if you are the Comintern. Finding a way to kick them in the nuts with a smile on your face and a kind word for them is a skill that you need to be successful. That's something that simply doesn't exist in Axis and Allies. The sides are drawn and the enemy is clear before the game even begins in A&A. The other option is to let the least experienced player to play the Comintern because the mechanics of the game are easiest with them. There won't be a lot of naval battles, amphibious assaults, convoying, and strategic bombing they have to do in the game. They can learn by watching the other players while they concentrate mainly on simple ground and pound.
As far as options for cruisers being limited, that's just another sad fact of the pandemic we are all dealing with. The plastic comes from China and it's been quite a challenge getting those units available for a number of reasons. At some point in time there will be all the units but for now you either have to go with 3D printed or mark your units in some way as has been mentioned already here. Each of the units in the game have their place but it takes time to learn what works best for each nation based on need and income level. I'm still learning with each game how best to use these units. Until my most recent game I didn't buy Medium Bombers but the lightbulb went off for me mid-game and now I love that unit. I love the fact that it isn't obvious even for very experienced A&A players how to use all of the units best and that their traditional strategies won't work in Global War. I'm glad you like the game and I look forward to hearing more insights from you as you continue to learn.
@ GeneralHandGrenade
Thx for your reply. Our Comintern player is a very experienced player (we all are at least in A&A Global 40 ). I think we have to discuss the Russian situation more. He did not declare war on 1939 which was a mistake from him. I really like our idea that the CCP gets their first recruitment role guaranteed so the Cominterm player has more to do. By the way we really liked the sidedeals with the sneaky Comintern. Its so much fun. I will continue to report our games.
By the way. Do you know if its possible to order a prototype of the Global 1914 map. I would playtest it and give feedback.
You don't have to change the rules to give Warlord territories to the CCP. If the KMT attacks a Warlord, then all his territories turn to CCP:
"If a warlord is attacked by either Chinese faction, it and all its remaining land zones and units align to the other Chinese faction if unconquered by the end of the Combat Phase." (KMT and CCP National Reference Sheets v.3.3).
We do it regularly in our games. You only need one KMT unit to attack the Warlord and you can even retreat after the first turn to obtain the desired result. If you are lucky, no unit is lost in the process.
However, in the end, I don't think you will get much more play out of the CCP with this strategy because the Japanese will just be pressured to attack and destroy the CCP sooner that it might have otherwise.
This is a very complex games with many rules and exceptions (as this Forum often shows). I would bet that you missed out on a lot of rules in your first game (I have played over a dozen and we still make mistakes). It's much too soon to be tweaking the rules of the game. You should try to master them first.
@Noneshallpass
I think we understood all the China rules. The problem is what happens if Japan attacks first? Then all warlords become KMT right? So we have to find a way to give the CCP at least some relevance otherwise i would destroy them as KMT with small losses and the Cominterm player has no more CCP to play with at the start of round 2. We dont really change rules. CCP can influence warlords per dice that say the rules. We just guarantee the first die roled as a hit (in other words CCP just gets a warlord territory at the beginning of their first turn guaranteed). It could happen in a regular game we just make it happen in every game that ccp gets at least one warlord to play with (we are low luck players and such things are very important for us we dont like too much lucky and random events).
It is not our intention to change the game or the rules, this is just a really small tweak which gives the comintern a little bit more to do.
By the way when you influence warlords as CCP you can choose which one (its written in the rules right?). Japan cant attack the warlords behind your CCP country in their first turn. So they cant just destroy CCP very soon…
You are absolutly right that we have to learn the game and master the rules first. We have no problem with this but we also see things which can make the game better (also we did not change any rules we just changed a possible event to a regular event in every game).
Yes, CCP can try to influence any Warlord according to the CCP National Reference Sheet, provided that it is in an adjacent territory :
"During the Place Units & Collect Income Phase CCP may make one influence roll on a Warlord land zone adjacent to a CCP possessed land zone. If the roll is less than or equal to the total number of land zones the CCP Possesses, all remaining land zones and military units of that warlord align with CCP immediately. CCP may spend IPP up to the amount of the influence roll to increase the chance of success. Each IPP spent adds +1 to the influence roll."
If you don't pay to increase the chance success, then it's a very low chance proposition on the first turn (1 out of 12). If you spend your IPPs, you can bring it up to 1 out of 6 (for 1 IPP) or 1 out of 4 (for 2 IPP).
I agree with you that it you don't succeed on the first or maybe second turn, chances are that a Japanese attack will have turned all the Warlords to KMT. I think that is meant to happen in most games.
I would not presume to tell you how to play your games. House rules can be fun. It's just that I find it premature to change the balance of such a complex game after a single playthrough. That being said, try it and let us know how it goes.

Hey thx for your advise. We play over the Christmas holidays. I will let you know how it went.
All of this is making me so bummed this pandemic is making me unable to play this game!!!

Global War 1936 • • Broken Mortar
From what we have gathered it seems that Japan would not have any issues if they launched from the Marshall Islands. This would give the Japanese the ability to take out the whole western sea board as well as Hawaii. The European Axis on the other hand would have a harder go, in fact if Germany only buys boats and the US just does tech rolls its next to no chance. With what we factored in Germany would have had to have landed with 5 transports and no marines, just plain infantry. The odds are against you. Furthermore, you'd have to also contend with Ottawa to your north as well as any lend lease. So, short answer as far as we can tell is no, its possible on one side but the other side there's too many factors, everything has to go right. And you need both sides for this to work. In our test rolls with just German navy we figured that you had a 10% chance of making it to the landing stage. We had Italian forces declaring war on their turn and going from the Azores and hitting New York and Ottawa.
This plan also called for full intervention in the Spanish Civil War on both Germany's and Italy's sides, declaring war on Russia so that Germany could use the Spanish naval base, the attacking of Ottawa which requires war with the Commonwealth, and Japan would have to on the second round of the attack take the Panama Canal to move their ships into the Atlantic to fight the Brits and French on the third round of the attack. All this and it has to be finished in around 3 to 4 turns and you can't take a counter attack because you don't have the troops and won't be getting any reinforcements, save Japan if they have a Tokyo Express Shuck set up. Oh and you have 4 turns from the start of the game to buy what you need, and two turns after that to set up the attack, and you can not as the Axis do anything that will take money from you or give extra money to the Allies, for example: attacking China, or attacking neutrals.
This also requires that nobody smells the rat and blocks it, which of course you could commit to the Spanish Civil War as the European Axis, or go for Sealion in response. Japan could instead go for ANZAC.
All this and you have to factor in different play styles, this would all change for example if it was a greedy British Player over an aggressive one, or a tech focused US over a defense and invasion focused one.
So as far as we can tell this is more than likely to end in disaster. Would not recommend trying it as it will make for a short game.
On another note, this is doable in A&A Global 40. This happened to me when I was first getting into the game and I didn't believe that anyone would try it so I had left myself open. Broken Mortar managed to take Washington because I had not defended my territories well enough… LESSON LEARNED… I was able to take it back as the Brits but by that time the damage was already done.
Vanilla Spanish Civil War Question
Ahhh thanks for this GHG. I'd always thought the rule meant that the Spanish Civil War kept playing out once the Germans and USSR were at war, but that once the war ended, the winning side would be automatically aligned.
Interesting, that definitely changes things in my thinking of the game! It probably behooves the Axis to keep the war going for as long as possible to have them automatically join later. Though the flip side is no victory points for winning the SCW.
Thanks for clarifying there!
How is the balance in Global War 1936 Version 3
Global War 1936 • • AlphaAeffchen
@GuamSolo said in How is the balance in Global War 1936 Version 3:
When Germany takes Moscow in 2 rounds you just needed more units over all.
To prevent such a scenario, you also may want to consider, building a fortification in Moscow. Most likely that in order to take Moscow in 2 rounds Germany has to use their double impulse and/or Blitz into Moscow. Building a fort prevents blitzes and might give you enough time to rally your defenses ( and provide a good defence as well).
Global Wars Mega Game.
@Noneshallpass Yeah, it says that, but I don't think that description has ever been updated haha. Kind of what I was saying above, I think what you're seeing there was the initial hoped for gaming experience, but I think as development as gone on, it's not going to be quite as intertwined as implied. I think more what GHG said is probably accurate (plus I know he talks with Doug at HBG quite a bit). But I don't think you're going to see sweeping changes for each game based on the one you just completed before it!
Global War 36 Seperate Board. Wahoo.
Global War 1936 • • thenorthman
@sjelso:
Don't want to be a broken record but wish HBG would open source the map so others could work on it too. Lots of good ideas out there and some people with great Photoshop skills (i.e Sireblood/etc.). HBG could still print them or perhaps offer one-time use licensing if one wants to print elsewhere (hard to get and control a copyright though, I understand). Allows people to print different sizes too and on different materials.
Your 2 cents is VERY valuable.
I'd like a elec copy to print a mini version so we can refer to it when planning, discussing moves with teammates. It's so hard to see borders, values etc once the game is underway and there are pieces everywhere. Maybe a black n white version so we can just get something to refer to……

Going Gentle Into That Good Night
Practical, applicable information for caregiving for our loved ones with dementias and Alzheimer's Disease
Going Gentle Into That Good Night Books
Profiles in Dementia: Norman Rockwell (1894 – 1978)
Normal Rockwell's artistic creations are an entrenched part of Americana. He captured everyday life with a unique emotional component that seemed and seems to touch the American soul deeply.
Rockwell is best known for the 47 years that his iconic cover illustrations graced The Saturday Evening Post, but his body of work also included other magazines, several books, and prints for both the common man and collectors.
Growing up, I remember frequently picking up the oversized, hardcover edition of Norman Rockwell: Artist and Illustrator that my parents had purchased and immersing myself in a thoughtful journey through the large body of his work. There were some that stand out in my mind still. A sampling of those include:
The Problem We All Live With
Saying Grace
The Girl With the Black Eye
But the four-part Freedoms From… illustrations that Rockwell did in 1943 (during World War II to shore up and promote American involvement in the war) are probably the ones that tug, even today, at American heartstrings.
In part, I believe, the
reason is they represent an ideal that we all wish existed, but which, in fact, never did and never will in our lifetimes.
They invoke a nostalgia for our imagined past as a nation, as families, as people. And I suppose that we want to be those people is a good thing, but the reality that we're not is, for me, quite disheartening.
But I still love the pictures even in my discouragement at how far we all fall short of the ideals they portray. My hope lies in a better fulfillment in another life, while my despair comes from knowing it won't be this one.
Rockwell struggled with severe depressive episodes, as it seems most creative people do, throughout his life, but it rarely, if at all, is seen in his art, which is, frankly, amazing and admirable.
In the last decade of his life, Rockwell developed dementia and for the last six years of his life lost the ability completely to do any artwork or illustrations at all.
Rockwell died in 1978 at the age of 84 from emphysema.

dizzylizzie72 says:
Another good story about a famous person. I never knew Rockwell had dementia. No, life on this earth has never been what Rockwell's paintings depicted. Life is just hard, disappointing, and will probably never change. There are too many unkind, violent, hateful people in this world to make life on this earth a perfect, peaceful place to exist. Very sad observation I guess. Like your post very much.
Going Gentle Into That Good Night says:
There are a lot of unkind, violent, and hateful people and while we can't change anyone else, we can certainly work to change ourselves. We show love by being kind, gentle, merciful, patient, peaceable, and controlling our own thoughts, words, actions, and emotions so that we are not part of the problem, but also so that we are an example of what those things look like for others.
Everything you said is true. Thanks for your comments.

Group therapy may hold the key for trauma victims | Terry Katz & Associates, P.C.
Can role-playing take the place of reality? Ordinarily, the answer might be no. In the field of clinical psychology, however, the answer might be yes.
Specifically, an approach called psychomotor therapy hopes that victims of post-traumatic stress disorder or other trauma might benefit from a role-playing group activity. With the help of other participants who play characters from an individual's past, the approach allows a victim of PTSD or trauma to confront characters involved in the incident and explain his or her feelings to them. That new experience, provided by the other participants in the group, may provide an alternative narrative to the original traumatic memory, possibly stopping the cycle of painful memories believed to trigger the accompanying symptoms of trauma and PTSD.
At least one psychomotor therapist claims that existing PTSD treatment techniques, such as exposure or cognitive behavioral therapy, do not help patients accept what actually happened to them. He claims that such approaches may not necessarily promote healing. For example, exposure therapy seeks to desensitize patients to a traumatic event through repeated confrontation with it, and cognitive behavioral therapy uses dialogue to help patients recognize the nonproductive connections between their emotions and thoughts.
As this article suggests, the process of recovering from trauma or PTSD can be slow and circuitous. An individual may not be able to work until progress is made. However, defining a disabling condition for purposes of determining legal eligibility for disability benefits can be a separate challenge. Programs administered by entities such as the Social Security Administration will require evidence of how a condition affects an individual's ability to work. In order to produce sufficient evidence, an applicant seeking disability benefits may need to consult with an attorney.


Whelp. I did it again. Just a month after getting my roman numeral 11 on my finger (read about the significance, here), I went and got another tattoo that means the world me: a tiny origami crane. Okay, now I think my tattoo collection is complete.
You may have noticed that my blog logo has always had an origami crane. It's been a symbol that has played such an intricate component in my life. So what's its significance?


The world has been facing "rheumatism" and "arthritis" as a serious and insidious disease for many thousands of years. However, it was not until the 17th and 18th centuries that the terms as we know them used today came into common use amongst medical professionals and writers.
A great deal of work was done to help people suffering from this painful and debilitating disease and since 1996 the fighters of this serious illness as well as its caregivers have established the 12th of October as World Arthritis Day. The greater the awareness of the difficulties that people who suffer from RA is, the more the environment will be adjusted to their particular needs and often limited mobility.
Sweden has very strong and numerous rheumatic association (Reumatic förbundet), with its regional and local organizations. It has 50.000 members, which makes it the largest patients' organization in Sweden. They represent around 1 million people that suffer from RA or similar muscular diseases and the organization has been active since 1945.
We in Wellbe have had the opportunity to meet with some of the Swedish Rheumatic associations' representatives, who have made us more aware of the challenges and obstacles that their members face in their daily lives. Our interest is to help these people toorganize rehabilitation treatments for those suffering from rheumatic diseases in the warm climate of the Croatian Adriatic and in special rehabilitation centres that have been known for decades for their expertise and positive results in such treatments. We are very pleased and excited that such co-operation is now opening-up and we are looking forward to more people coming and enjoying their relaxing and curing days and weeks in this sunny and pleasant environment.
Croatia is the part of the EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) and some of our partners, specialists in treating rheumatologic problems, have been leaders in fighting the disease and alleviating the pain caused by RA.
Together we will continue to offer care and support in various ways to those who suffer from arthritis and rheumatic problems.
22% of the world population currently has, or had experienced, long-term muscle, bone and joint problems such as rheumatism and arthritis.
The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis varies between 0.3% and 1% of populations and is more common in women and in developed countries.
After time, at least 50% of patients in developed countries are unable to hold down a full-time job.

The winery was started by Frank Guido and grape grower Ray Higgins, after Guido's reportedly unsuccessful attempt in the 1970's to make fruit and berry wines at Umpqua Valley Winery.
University of Oregon graduate and German trained winemaker Richard Mansfield was hired. The winery's first vintage was in 1983.
The partnership split in 1987. It is believed Higgins took the Garden Valley Winery name and moved to Sweet Home where his vineyard was located. Guido passed away in 1989. His wife Mary Sykes-Guido operated Callahan Ridge Winery until it ceased operating in the 1990's.
In 2001, at this same location, Champagne Creek Cellars was established. The winery was located at 340 Busenbark Lane, Roseburg, OR.
In 1987, after the partnership split, Guido and winemaker Mansfield established the CALLAHAN RIDGE WINERY at the old Garden Valley Winery site near Roseburg.

Q: What is the best way to move a large and complex site (which will need extensive testing) to a new server? We need to move a large and complex site to a new server, and we need to ensure there is minimal downtime / disruption for our members.
This is what we have in mind:

*

*Create a new domain (e.g. oursite.club) on the new server, for testing purposes. (We're planning on doing this because the temporary URL that works with some hosts / sites does not appear to work on ours)

*Upload all existing code and import all databases to the new server.

*Make any changes to allow for the new server path / domain name / different database names, where necessary.

*Thoroughly test the .club site.

*Add the current live domain (e.g. oursite.com) to the new server as an alias of the .club domain.

*Once we're confident the new site works, change the DNS of the .com to point to the new server.

*Also, add htaccess redirects on the old .com site to point to the same page on the .club domain, so that the site can still be accessed by those members for whom nameservers are not yet propagated.
After everything is working and all nameservers should have propagated, we want to make the .com the "real" domain and optionally retain the .club as an alias (i.e. swap the two domains on the new server).
This is what we have in mind:

*Delete the add-on domain from the new server (i.e. the .club) and the alias domain (i.e. the .com) - but leave all the code / data where it is.

*Re-add the .com, but point that at the server path where the .club code was uploaded.

*Re-add the .club, but as an alias of the .com (or use URL forwarding at our domain registrar).

*Make sure everything still works.

*Update the htaccess redirects on the old server to send .com traffic to the .com domain on the new server, just in case there are any nameservers still pointing to the old server.
Since the nameservers for the two domains are already pointing to the new server, and that won't change, we thought this would offer the fastest way of swapping these two domains around.
We've done some testing with spare domains and a default WP blog, and this seems to work, but we wanted to call on your collective experience here to ask:
A. Will this work?
B. If not, what have we forgotten to take into account?
C. If so, good, but is there a better / easier way to accomplish this (especially the bit where we flip-flop the two domain names on the new server so that the current .com domain remains as the primary one to use)? For example, would it work if we add the .com to the new server (instead of creating a .club) and then edit our local hosts file during testing? Or can we use a VirtualHost directive to help with the domain swapping?
Although we've been building / running site for many years now, this is the first time we've had to move a membership site that is business-critical and where any excessive downtime / issues will cause us and/or our members real issues.
Many thanks!

A: I'm not sure if I'm missing something significant here (I don't entirely understand your need to flip flop the domains at the end), so I'll quite likely change this answer depending on comments etc (or delete it if I've completely missed a point!)
My approach to this would be

*

*Set your DNS TTL for www.example.com to a very low number, 600 seconds perhaps. Don't plan the move until your current TTL expires (from the moment you make the change)

*Create website on new server,configure the site under your example.club domain and example.com

*Configure the hosts file on your testing machines with the IP Address of the server, and www.example.com This way your testing machines are going to actually test the full structure of example.com.

*Test against example.club if you are concerned about broken links to the new domain, but since that is only temporary, it shouldn't really matter.

*when it is tested and you are confident it is working, switch the DNS over.

*Once you are comfortable that everything is working as expected reset your DNS TTL to a more sane figure.

As long as your database is in sync, there would be minimal (if any) downtime from this and at the end you can simply delete the example.club reference without any impact.
Depending on the value of the site, and the impact of potential downtime it might be worth putting a load balancer between both sites, and gradually increase the traffic that is sent to the new site so you can monitor progress. (you could use a load balancer from Azure which has no restrictions on being used against external sites)

Q: c# collection type, to keep index order I have a file with rows
 keys        values
-----+---------------------------
1 1 2 0.39785 0.39785 0.2043 36
1 1 3 0.409604 0.409604 0.180792 24
1 1 4 0.407281 0.407281 0.185438 24
1 1 5 0.404958 0.404958 0.190084 24
1 1 6 0.403399 0.403399 0.193203 24
...
23 34 36 0.414457 0.354921 0.230622 576
..

-the first 3 numbers are keys and represent a matchup, they are unique, and they are ascending
-the float values are linked to the keys. eg: first row's 4th element (0.39785) belongs to key 1, 6th element (0.2043) to 2.
I read it line by line and split it by " " (space).
How should I store it (which collection/structure).
Lets say I want to lookup "2 1 1".
As I wrote keys are ascending, there won't be an entry like "2 1 1",
only "1 1 2", so first I have to sort it, but I want to get the values
in the lookup's order (0.2043 0.39785 0.39785).

A: The data-structure below should meet all your requirements:
Dictionary<HashSet<int>, Dictionary<int, double>>

It should be easy to create an instance of the above structure with LINQ from your original data.
Access should be easy:

*

*from 2, 1, 1 create a HashSet (2, 1)

*lookup (2, 1) in the Dictionary -> ((1, 0.39785), (2, 0.2043))

*with a partial key lookup a double like 2 -> 0.2043

CAVEAT The solution will only work as long as for identical int-values on one line the double-values are identical as well. (Which seems to hold true for the provided sample-data).
EDIT The code to create yourLookup:
List<List<int>> intList = new List<List<int>>() {
   new List<int> () {1, 1, 2},
   new List<int> () {1, 1, 3},
   ...
};

List<List<double>> doubleList = new List<List<double>> {
    new List<double>() {0.39785, 0.39785, 0.2043},
    new List<double>() {0.409604, 0.409604, 0.180792},
    ....
};

var dictionaries = intList.Zip(doubleList, (Is, Ds) =>
    { return Is.Zip(Ds, (i, d) => new KeyValuePair<int, double>(i, d)).Distinct()
        .ToDictionary(kv => kv.Key, kv => kv.Value); });

var yourLookup = dictionaries.Select(
    dictionary => new { hashset = new HashSet<int>(dictionary.Keys), dictionary })
        .ToDictionary(x => x.hashset, x => x.dictionary);

A: Interesting problem. I created this class:
class Mapper
{
    public void Add(int n1, int n2, int n3, double f1, double f2, double f3)
    {
        int[] intArray = new int[] {n1,n2, n3};
        Array.Sort(intArray);
        Dictionary<int, double> dict = new Dictionary<int, double>();
        dict[n1] = f1;
        dict[n2] = f2;
        dict[n3] = f3;

        myDictionary[string.Join("_", intArray.Select(i=>i.ToString()))] = dict;
    }

    public Tuple<double, double, double> Find(int n1, int n2, int n3)
    {
        string key = CreateKey(n1, n2, n3);

        if (!myDictionary.ContainsKey(key))
            return null;

        Dictionary<int, double> found = myDictionary[key];

        return new Tuple<double, double, double>(found[n1], found[n2], found[n3]);
    }

    private string CreateKey(int n1, int n2, int n3)
    {
        int[] intArray = new int[] { n1, n2, n3 };
        Array.Sort(intArray);
        return string.Join("_", intArray.Select(i => i.ToString()));
    }

    private Dictionary<string, Dictionary<int, double>> myDictionary = new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<int, double>>();
}

By adding the 6-tuple in Add it sorts the integers and joins them to the unique key string (e.g. 1_1_2). The doubles are inserted in a lookup dictionary. Some keys may be set here multiple times but as they the int->double associations are identical in one line it doesn't matter.
Accessing in Find happens in a corresponding way.

These sticker sheets printed for a new product launch of Dog Pamper Products including Paw Balm and Snout salve.
Printed in high quality full colour on both matt and gloss self-adhesive vinyl, these stickers are very durable and fully waterproof and are being applied to the lid and base of the pamper products.
Our sticker sheets can have almost any shapes kiss-cut from circles, ovals, squares, through to fairly intricate shapes.
We print onto gloss or matt white vinyl so you can have a lovely glossy finish or a more contemporary matt finish. Either way you can be sure your stickers will be hard wearing and long lasting.
These car window stickers were printed full colour onto white self cling vinyl. This vinyl stays put on your window through static properties alone and so will not leave any sticky residue when removed.
The window stickers can also be removed and re-applied. The window stickers are fully waterproof so can go through the rigours of car washing without any issues arising.
Client's often ask us the best way to apply self cling window stickers.
As the cling window stickers stay put through static properties alone, so any dirt, grease or cleaning agent trapped between the cling sticker and glass will act as a barrier and it will lose its holding ability.
The cling may also struggle to cling to very cold glass when first applied, so we recommend in winter months, applying the sticker when the vehicle has been pre-heated.
Or once the glass is clean and grease free, in the winter it can really help to wet the cling sticker and or glass with warm water before applying and then press the cling sticker firmly in place (the cling sticker is fully waterproof so this will not affect the print or sticker).
Once the sticker clings well it will stay perfectly in place.
We manufacture a wide range of window stickers for the public sector. A current popular campaign for Councils is the Litter Free Coast and Sea, which is a community campaign to reduce marine and beach liter, and improve bathing water quality across Dorset. The public sector have purchased high quantities of window stikers printed onto the static cling vinyl so they can be easily peeled away and re-positioned. You'll see them on car, shop, office and restaurant windows to promote the campaign. You can find out more on their website LITTER FREE COAST AND SEA.
Window stickers are a brilliant way to promote a local campaign, as each individual sticker will be seen time and time again by passers by for months and years to come. Find out more about Public sector stickers we manufacture on our dedicated web page.
We print a wide range of window stickers.
These window stickers were printed for sticking onto the inside of the car windscreen, or car dash, to be viewed by the Driver. So these stickers are sticky on the back. They were printed onto removable self adhesive vinyl which is our low tack option.
The window stickers can be written on, so are ideal for service and mot reminders, emergency and accident helplines, as well as car hire companies.
These window stickers are fully waterproof so will stand up perfectly well when the inside of the windscreen is washed or cleaned.
These outdoor waterproof car bumper stickers were printed for Northumberland Country Zoo.
Long lasting and durable, fully waterproof for outdoor use, these stickers can be applied to vehicle bumpers to promote their day out.
Our car bumper stickers, printed full colour process onto white gloss self-adhesive vinyl are printed using solvent based inks, so will hold their vibrant colours year after year and will not fade in sunlight easily.
We recently printed charity car window stickers for the Didim Animal Shelter.
The size of these stickers is 100mm diameter circles, which is most popular size for round car rear window stickers.
We offer charitable discounts and special perks wherever possible for charities, and in this case we printed double the quantity ordered to help support the Shelter.
We print full colour bespoke cut window stickers. These window stickers were recently printed onto self-adhesive vinyl in full colour with a white background and then kiss cut to an intricate shape around the design.
The stickers are cut down and supplied in bulk as indivdiuals so ideal to hand out or mail out to your customers or retailers to promote your products and branding.
Having bespoke shaped stickers really makes them stand out from others, and they don't cost as much as you might think!
Car windscreen permit stickers printed with mixed designs for the Volvo World Match Play Championships.
A variety of designs and colourways were printed to identify the day and car park number where it was valid.
These window stickers were reverse printed onto removable self-adhesive vinyl, which is a low tack adhesive. This easily peels away when removed a few days or weeks after application, so ideal for event car parking permit stickers.
They were supplied as singles so ideal to either post out in advance or hand out on the day.
These car windscreen permit stickers were printed onto white static cling vinyl. This is the non sticky type which stay put through static properties alone, so perfect for identifying cars parking at events.
This order had a mix of designs and colours so parking attendants could easily identify which car park the driver should be directed to.
These circle cut car window stickers had a vibrant design with great branding.
These outdoor waterproof car stickers were printed full colour onto white gloss permanent self adhesive vinyl.
Mixed designs were printed for the order and these stickers are for application onto the exterior of cars and vehicles, fully waterproof and lightfast so the brand advertising will be strong and vibrant year after year.
These window stickers were printed full colour with white background for a vet group.
We will print any design onto your full colour window stickers and if you do not have your own artwork, just email us your logo and text you would like and we will prepare a sticker layout for you at no extra charge.
These window stickers were printed full colour with a white backup, the size is ideal for displaying in shop windows.
Our window stickers are printed using lightfast inks so they will not fade easily in sunlight, so you can be sure your stickers will last year after year and keep your branding vivid and strong.
Our self-cling permit stickers are great for applying to the inside of car windscreens, and can be removed at any time without leaving any residue. The self-cling window stickers stay put through static properties alone.
In winter months we always recommend applying the cling stickers to a pre-heated vehicle as the initial cling has a better result in a warmer environment.
These permit stickers are great where there are several versions for an event, as the stickers are supplied design face-up, so easy to identify. They are also ideal for writing on, so if you wanted a blank box to write in expiry date or registration number we can include this within your car park sticker design.
The most popular size for car windscreen permit stickers is 75mm diameter circles, but for short term events where it is important for car park stewards to identify the permit our clients go for much larger, up to around 120mm or 150mm diameter circles.
Car rear window stickers printed recently for a radio station, a great way to advertise your brand.
These car window stickers were reverse printed full colour with white backup onto self adhesive vinyl, and kiss cut to circle shape.
We print car window stickers using solvent based inks, so they are UV stable (will not fade easily in sunlight) and will last year after year. Some suppliers manufacture stickers at very low prices, but their inks will fade within the first year, which stops your purchase being value for money.
So if you want your car window stickers to look great year after year, be sure to get a quotation from Harris Screen Print.

It was in 1966 when Father François Turner, O.P. from Blois, France first heard about the events that had taken place in Garabandal. From that moment on he began to study the apparitions. Together with Professor Lacques Serre, professor at Sorbonne University in Paris, he carried out the most extensive study concerning the events of anyone outside of Spain. He has written numerous articles and - using the pen name Robert François - wrote the book, "O Children, Listen to Me," published in French, English and German. He reached the conclusion, along with Professor Jacques Serre, that Garabandal is a marvelous Work of God and an undeniable manifestation of His Omnipotence. In addition, he has elaborated 24 proofs in defense of Garabandal's authenticity.
Fr. Turner was born in Paris to American parents residing in France. He was baptized and raised Episcopalian. He lost his faith when he was fourteen. It was not until four years later when a Catholic friend and his family invited Robert's (François') family to a sermon where a Catholic Priest was explaining the fundamentals of the entire Catholic faith. The sermon was so convincing that Robert Turner ended up saying, "If there is any true Religion, it is Catholicism." All of the doubts and false impressions that he had held against the Catholic Church disappeared.
He first heard about the events that had taken place in Garabandal while spending a few days at Tarragona's Seminary in 1966. Fr. Turner, however, did not immediately believe in the Apparitions.
After meeting Fr. Materne Laffineur, pioneer in the diffusion of the Messages of Garabandal throughout France, Fr. Turner decided to read his book "Star on the Mountain," but this was not enough to satisfy him. Such striking events demanded a closer study. The more Fr. Turner learned, the more he began to believe. Given the numerous doubts that often arise regarding Garabandal, he undertook a very rigorous study originally comprised of only a few points but which later grew to include twenty-four undisputable criteria concerning the authenticity of the apparitions of Garabandal. During this time, he spent several weeks in the Poitiers Library studying the "spiritual masters" and meticulously applying all of their rules to the events of Garabandal. He came to the conclusion that they are authentic and of Divine Origin.
He collaborated with Fr. Combe organizing the first International Congress concerning the Apparitions of Garabandal that took place in Lourdes in 1978. More than 200 delegates from 26 countries from all over the world assisted.
INTERVIEW WITH FR. FRANÇOIS TURNER, O.P.
Your parents are American. How is it that you came to live in France?
Fr. Turner: I was born in France. My father was an American doctor working in Paris, who attended only American patients. He was an American citizen, my grandfather is from Boston. Both of my parents belonged to the Episcopalian Church located on Avenue George V in Paris.
How did you become a Catholic priest?
Fr. Turner: I was raised for a time in the Episcopalian Church and then in a Protestant Church in Paris. However, I later on lost my faith. I was only 14.
You also studied at Harvard, is that right?
Fr. Turner: That was after finishing my bachelor's degree in France. I went to the United States planning on staying there. I had dual citizenship. After studying at Harvard two years, I was drafted into military service in France and had to return there. I did not realize it at the time, but I lost my U.S. citizenship. I served in the military for two years and then for another six months. After that, the war (World War II) broke out. I continued in the military during the war.
When did you enter the seminary?
Fr. Turner: After studying Latin, a language completely unknown to me, I entered the Diocesan Seminary of Paris and remained there for a year. I later joined the Dominicans and spent a year in the Dominican Monastery of Paris. I was ordained in 1947.
How did you first hear of Garabandal?
Fr. Turner: In 1966, a Spanish woman asked me to help out as a spiritual director of a youth group in Tarragona, Spain. I accepted the offer, went and spent the night in the seminary there. I found a pamphlet concerning the alleged apparitions in the dining room at one of the professors' houses. I did not pay much attention to it because I was not very impressed by it. Then I thought that it could perhaps be something serious, but I was not sure. Once back in France, in October of that same year, a priest from Blois asked me if I had heard anything about the apparitions. I replied that I had, but very little. He asked me to find out more information because he was interested in them. That is why I got in contact with Father Laffineur.
(Father Materne Laffineur, a Belgian priest living in France, was the pioneer in the diffusion of the Messages of Garabandal throughout France).
Did Father Laffineur provide you with any kind of documentation?
Fr. Turner: O yes, his book, "Star on the Mountain" had already been published. I found it, read it, and was intrigued by everything. But at that point I was only interested. I had not taken a standpoint yet because I felt that it had to be studied first. It did not seem to me that his book could be qualified as study material. It relates a certain number of events that have taken place, but without any in depth investigation. I felt that it would be good idea to keep in contact with Father Laffineur. After all, it seemed like something serious, authentic, but of course I was yet not sure. In fact, I did not start to consider Garabandal as something authentic until about 1978.
At that time I had already begun to work on my criteria. [Twenty-four criteria defending the authenticity of Garabandal.] It took me eight years. Before the final compilation of twenty-four proofs, I had begun with the plan of only writing seven, and later on decided upon fifteen. These proofs were taken in part from the facts about the events of Garabandal and in part from the studies I carried out in the Poitiers Library, where I was studied for several weeks. I studied good authors, the old authors, in such topics as apparitions, revelations, and mystical experiences in general. I then applied these principles to the case of Garabandal and arrived at the firm conclusion that it was genuine.
Have the negative aspects of Garabandal, such as the first committee's verdict and the visionaries' doubts and denials, presented themselves as a stumbling block or drawback during your study of the events?
Fr. Turner: No, not at all. In fact, one thing that caught my attention was how weak the objections against the authenticity of Garabandal were, regardless of whether they came from the committee or from other people; you already know that a wide range of people have presented objections. I remember that Jacques Serre told me one day, "There is nothing negative concerning Garabandal." And I thought, "You know what? You're right. Because the negative aspects presented were inconsistent, especially those presented by the first committee."
Those who present the visionaries' doubts as something negative seem to ignore the fact that in cases such as Saint Teresa of Avila, Bernadette of Lourdes, and the visionaries of Pontmain, doubts of a similar category are quite numerous and almost always the norm. What surprised me the most was that the first committee's work was simply left unfinished. Fr. Valentín (the parish priest of Garabandal) mentioned to me that someone had once asked him if the committee had finished their work. His response was, "No, they're not finished. They never started."
Around 1970, the bishop of Santander, Monsignor José Cirarda, managed to begin the circulation of a letter, through the Vatican Secretary of State, directed to all the bishops of the Church, which - although not directly condemning Garabandal - clearly transmitted the message that the movement should not be extended. This attitude still exists in some places. What is the Church's official position on Garabandal today?
Fr. Turner: To begin with, Bishop Cirarda is not the authority concerning the apparitions of Garabandal or the messages. He was during a certain period in history, but not anymore. The current bishop, and therefore the current authority, is Bishop Vilaplana, successor of Bishop del Val. Bishop Vilaplana has not taken a position one way or the other. He considers the case of Garabandal as a topic open for study.
He recently received a friend of mine, Ramón Perez (author of "Garabandal—The Village Speaks") and told him that he has taken an open outlook towards Garabandal and that he will act in accord with whatever the Holy See indicates. There is a dossier in Rome concerning Garabandal that was compiled by a quadruple committee established by Bishop del Val. Their work was carried out between 1985 and September of 1991. This compilation of documents in Rome is being studied, I am almost certain of this. To be discreet, however, I cannot reveal why I am sure of this.
Is it not a little unusual that the Holy See would study apparitions, as if they were opposed to them being studied at a diocesan level?
Fr. Turner: Yes, it does seem a little unusual, but the Holy See is simply verifying what was already carried out in Santander. They want to proceed on a higher level, like a court of appeals, if that makes sense. Why? Apparently because the content of the messages has spread to a worldwide level. It is not a local affair like that of Pontmain. Pontmain never moved beyond a local affair, and I could give examples of other apparitions that took place in France. All of them were local affairs, with the exception of Lourdes. Lourdes has indeed become an international affair, this year, 1992, more than ever. In such circumstances, when it reaches an international level, the Holy See feels that it should intervene as a court of appeals. All of this takes place very discreetly.
Do you know anything about the most recent investigation? Do you know who the investigators are?
Fr. Turner: The only thing I know is that it was formed, first of all, by a group of four young sociologists - two men and two women - and then a fifth who joined later. The first four were lay people; the fifth - I believe - was a Dominican sociologist. The second part of the investigation dealt with the psychological aspect. I do not know who was involved in this phase, or how many. And then there's the theological and spiritual aspect, and I don't know who was involved or how many. He (Bishop del Val) kept this to himself.
You've known Bishop del Val for a few years. When did you first meet him?
Fr. Turner: [I met him] in 1976. Ever since then I've met with him almost every year, either in his office or in Lourdes, and some years in both places
What did you perceive about his attitude towards Garabandal when you first met him?
Fr. Turner: Well, to start with, he was extremely kind, discrete, and aware of the importance of everything that was taking place. He was very courteous with me. He had me sit in a cushioned armchair and that kind of thing. He was glad that we were able to speak in Spanish, even though he speaks fluent French. Little by little, I noticed that he was really quite interested. He was very good on a pastoral level. Very intelligent. That, of course, does not exactly respond to your question, but it is hard to answer a question like that.
But over the years did you see any type of change in his attitude towards Garabandal in any particular aspect?
Fr. Turner: Well, he did seem more cordial. He treated me more and more as a friend; he gave me a hug in front of the grotto in Lourdes, for example. If he was changing his view towards Garabandal, he did not show it. If I had anything to say in that regards, I would surely say it.
Do you personally consider that he believes in Garabandal?
Fr. Turner: What I think is that prudence, an entirely normal prudence, has led him to act appropriately.
Does the Church currently permit people to promote the message of Garabandal?
Fr. Turner: Since the last bishop of Santander, Bishop del Val (he was bishop for the last 20 years), has never acted against the promotion of Garabandal, and since the current bishop of Santander has proven to be so open, I do not believe that those who promote Garabandal need permission to do so. If within a diocese the bishop were to forbid the spreading of the messages, I think his personal view point would have to be taken into account in order to maintain the peace of the Church. But if one considers that the peace of the Church is not at risk and that one could give a private conference or display a slideshow in a private center or auditorium, I think he could do it. Why not? If he is not affecting the peace of the Church. As you know, Father Combe (the primary promoter in France), was quite firm in this regard. As long as the bishop does not present evidence that the event has been "condemned," he can continue on without a problem. That is what he does; it is his way of doing things. Perhaps someone else has a different way of doing things. In one country, the majority of the people have their way of doing things, while in other countries others do differently.
What do you know about the 1970 letter from Cardinal Seper, which appeared as a very elaborate declaration against Garabandal? For the people who are not very well informed about Garabandal, especially in the areas concerning the most recent events, and who judge the case solely according to what is established in the older documents of the Church, the letter from Cardinal Seper could seem as a warning against Garabandal. Is this letter an official document?
Fr. Turner: I doubt it. I doubt that it is an important document. Why? To start with, Cardinal Seper passed away years ago. Secondly, his declaration was not based upon any personal investigation of his own, but rather upon another bishop's commentary. Furthermore, the current situation is completely different. There is another Cardinal occupying his place, and the investigation is being continued by the Holy See. The documents have been sent to the Holy See for what I call the final stage of the investigation. After these investigations, the only thing remaining will be the final response of the Holy See, as well as the response of the Bishop. That is all.
Has Cardinal Ratzinger made any kind of declaration concerning Garabandal?
Fr. Turner: I cannot reply to this question. There are some things that I can respond to, but not that. I do not think it would be appropriate. What I can say is this: The event of Garabandal is important in his eyes. Mr. Hivbier has seen my book ["O Children, Listen to Me"] on Cardinal Ratzinger's desk, so Ratzinger certainly must have looked for it. He would not need more than a few minutes to glance at the table of contents to get an idea of what the book is about. People with his type of mentality and clear intelligence will be able to discern very quickly, in just a few moments, if it is worth considering or not. In some cases, false apparitions can be recognized by any theologian in two minutes. In other cases, it takes quite some time. As I said in Columbus, Ohio, there are only three ways to discover the truth. First, because it is obvious. Second, through the aid of a demonstration. A physics or math professor will surely employ a demonstration. Or third, because someone is an authority in the subject, has studied it extensively, and knows it very well. This is my case. I cannot present it in any other way.
And there is no fourth way to know the truth. [It cannot be] through feelings, thoughts, or anything like that. What I would add is that, in cases such as apparitions and the like, grace will help because there is a spiritual aspect present. If one is in the state of grace, if one is sincere with himself, God will help him bring to light the falsehood or authenticity of an apparition.

Nov 3, 2015 . Then goes into ball mill and get fine material. . Quartz Gold Crusher Ball Mill and Concentrator. Gold Mining Machine . Amazing Modern Machine Crushed Tires And Cars, Fastest Machine Shredding Everything Duration:.


Finished in yellow over black, this completely restored Chevelle is a powerful cruiser and comes with restoration receipts and all the fun you need for the upcoming season.
Originally a California car, the restoration included a bare metal refinish in bright yellow over a black interior. The two-stage paint job has been color sanded and buffed out to a glossy sheen, and all of the stainless and chrome have been either restored or replaced.
Power comes via a blueprinted 454 running an Edelbrock carb and intake. Exhaust flows through a set of coated long tube headers and thunders out the rear with a classic Flow Master sound. On the front of the engine sits a Vintage Air billet front runner which supports the alternator, AC compressor, water pump and power steering units. Big blocks produce big heat and this one stays nice and cool with a large aluminum radiator. The classic 4-speed transmission is brought into the 21st century with a Gear Vendors overdrive set up. This configuration keeps the classic 4 speed feel in place while allowing for low highway cruising RPMs.
The suspension on the car has been rebuilt from front to rear, and bringing the Chevelle to a quick stop is a power front disc, rear drum set up. The undercarriage has been refinished in satin black and is clean as a whistle from front to rear.

Q: String Index out of range: 1     Scanner user_input = new Scanner( System.in );

    String cipher_input = user_input.nextLine();
    String[] arr_cipher_input = cipher_input.split("");

    int[] arr_ctext = new int[cipher_input.length()];
    for (int i = 0; i < cipher_input.length(); i++) {
        arr_ctext[i] = (int) arr_cipher_input[i].charAt(i);
    }

The above code takes an input and splits it into an array (e.g. "hello" becomes ["h","e","l","l","o"]) and then I attempt to convert the characters to their ascii values which is where it returns the error in the title. It correctly converts the first character every time and then stops on the second and I can't seem to figure out why. The array lengths seem to be the same so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

A: You are creating a number of one character String(s). But you are trying to access subsequent characters. There aren't any. Change charAt(i) to charAt(0) to fix. Like,
arr_ctext[i] = (int) arr_cipher_input[i].charAt(0);

or (more efficiently) skip the split and access the characters in the input directly. Like,
String cipher_input = user_input.nextLine();
int[] arr_ctext = new int[cipher_input.length()];
for (int i = 0; i < cipher_input.length(); i++) {
    arr_ctext[i] = (int) cipher_input.charAt(i);
}
