Disappointed with Carl Greenidge's statements
Dear Editor,Please permit me to comment on the statements made by Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge as it relates to the re-migrant programme.The Minister alluded to the fact that his Ministry does not have the capacity to implement the systems necessary to regulate and monitor the re-migrant programme. I was dismayed at this remark by our Minister, as in my opinion any trained and qualified accountant is capable of developing, designing and implementing an efficient and effective control system for the programme. This can be achieved in consultation with the Guyana Revenue Authority and the Finance Ministry.It is ironic that having removed capable and qualified personnel from the Ministry, the said Minister complains of qualified people not available to undertake this programme. I am aware that after a prolonged service in the Ministry, individuals were denied a renewal of their contracts based solely on assumptions of political affiliation or in some cases clear evidence of ethnicity.Unfortunately, qualified accountants that served the Ministry loyally and who are capable of undertaking all the ills of the ministry that the Minister bemoans, were unceremoniously removed in order to put square pegs in round holes. Despite the actions taken by the Minister, I am aware of many who would return to their former position in order to serve their country and ensure that the MOFA is capable of moving forward.Sincerely,Khalil Ahmed read more

Barca transfer plans on despite FIFA ban
"We are angry. We are the victims of a grave injustice. They are punishing the essence of our club, a model that has lasted 35 years," he said."It brings to mind the photo with the Ballon d'Or with Xavi, (Lionel) Messi and (Andres) Iniesta. FIFA know that we look after the kids in our system."The Catalan club have announced their intention to appeal the decision firstly before FIFA's Appeal Committee and then, should the sanction not be overturned, to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)."We have had a meeting with our lawyers and we will make an appeal to FIFA. If FIFA continue with the sanction, we will present a new appeal to CAS and that will allow us to sign (players) for next year."We are not worried about next season. Our planning continues in exactly the same way. We will appeal and ask for cautionary measures."We believe a lot in our lawyers and they have told us we have the arguments for the sanction to be lifted."Bartomeu added that Barca were on the verge of signing a goalkeeper, believed to be German international Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, to replace Victor Valdes who has indicated his intention to leave the club at the end of the season and a central defender to deputise for departing club captain Carles Puyol.The affair is the latest in a long line of unsavoury stories that have damaged Barca's previously pristine image.Bartomeu's predecessor Sandro Rosell was forced to resign in January after being accused of a misappropriation of funds in the singing of Brazilian star Neymar last year.The deal which eventually led to the club being charged with tax fraud, although they have denied any wrongdoing.And Bartomeu believes there may be foul play behind the serious of public attacks on the club's image."We have some evidence or indications to make us think that there is someone who wants to cause us harm."We will continue with our investigations until we find out who is behind all of this."Bartomeu also criticised the timing of the punishment as he claimed FIFA met to decide what sanction would be imposed on the club over four months ago on November 28 and believes other clubs could be in for a similar ban if the same rules are applied equally."It is clear that the situation affecting Barca will also affect other clubs, both here and in other countries."0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000MADRID, April 3- Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has described the one-year transfer ban on signing players handed down on the club as a "grave injustice" and insisted they intend to make moves in the transfer market this summer.Football's governing body imposed the sanction on Wednesday citing a "serious" breach of rules in the signing of 10 under-age players between 2009 and 2013. read more
United offer De Gea big money deal
But Real Madrid's interest in De Gea has strengthened because of those displays and a transfer to the European champions could tempt him, particularly as his girlfriend lives in the Spanish capital.Van Gaal said in January he expected the 24-year-old to extend his current deal, which expires at the end of next season, but three months on there are no signs of progress.However, van Gaal on Friday revealed United have offered the Spaniard a bumper new deal to convince him to stay."It takes a long time now," the United boss said when asked how negotiations with De Gea were progressing."It can always happen. I am not the boss. I want him to stay. The player is the boss he can say 'yes' or 'no'."You will have to ask David de Gea (if he is staying), not me. He has to sign. We have offered him a lot of money."Van Gaal was less forthcoming about his reported interest in PSV Eindhoven forward Memphis Depay, who was said to have flown to England for talks this week."I don't discuss it with the media," Van Gaal said of the Eredivisie top scorer, who was a regular for Holland when the United manager was in charge of the national team."I have a lot of relationships with players. I cannot buy all the players I've coached already."0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000LONDON, April 25- Louis van Gaal claims Manchester United have made David de Gea a big-money offer in a bid to persuade the Spain goalkeeper to remain at Old Trafford.De Gea is in the running to win the PFA Player of the Year award after a fine season in the Premier League. read more
It's still hot outside, Heat Warning continued for Northeast B.C. and Northwest Alberta
Environment Canada issues heat warnings when very high temperatures or humidity conditions are expected to pose an elevated risk of heat illnesses, such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion.For more information on heat-related illness, call HealthLinkBC at 811. FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – A Heat Warning that was issued by Environment Canada for the B.C. Peace River and Fort Nelson regions remains in effect this morning.Meteorologists say that a ridge of high pressure that has moved over most of B.C. will be causing maximum daily temperatures to reach at least 29 degrees, with overnight low temperatures near 14 degrees. The ridge is forecast to persist until at least Wednesday.The heat warning has also been issued for nearly all of Northwest Alberta, including the regions surrounding Grande Prairie, Peace River, and High Level.- Advertisement -Residents and visitors are advised to take precautions to protect themselves from the elevated temperatures, such as rescheduling outdoor activities to the cooler hours of the day; taking frequent breaks from the heat; spending time outdoors at home or in air-conditioned public buildings; and drinking plenty of water and other non-alcoholic and non-caffeinated beverages to stay hydrated. People or pets should not be left inside a closed vehicle for any length of time.Residents should also monitor for symptoms of heat stroke or heat exhaustion, such as high body temperature, lack of sweat, confusion, fainting, and unconsciousness. Particular vigilance is urged for vulnerable individuals, including children, seniors, individuals with pre-existing lung, heart, kidney, nervous system, mental health or diabetic conditions, outdoor workers, as well as those who are socially isolated.The risks of developing heat-related illnesses are greater for young children, pregnant women, older adults, people with chronic illnesses and people working or exercising outdoors.Advertisement read more
Angels bail out Santana
BASEBALL: Guerrero has four hits and three RBIs as L.A. rallies from five-run deficit to beat Seattle. By Doug Padilla STAFF WRITER SEATTLE – Ervin Santana will not be the answer after all as another lackluster offering has the Angels once again searching for rotation options. First, the Angels' offense had to get Santana off the hook and did so by the fifth inning when they tied the game, 5-5. Handed a 5-0 lead, Mariners starter and former Angel Jeff Weaver couldn't even last five innings. Moseley, meanwhile, was cruising along, finishing the night with 51/3 scoreless innings and throwing just 54 pitches in the process. "I was telling myself all night to throw one pitch at a time," Moseley said. "I couldn't focus on how many innings I had to get through or if I did give up runs how long I'd have to stay in there just to wear it to help the bullpen out. It worked out well for me." The Angels' comeback started quietly in the third inning. Howie Kendrick led off with a walk, went to third on a single by Jeff Mathis and scored when Mariners right fielder Jose Guillen threw wildly to third base. There was a little more force used in the fourth inning. After crushing a 400-foot foul ball down the right-field line, Gary Matthews Jr. dialed in his timing and hit one out to right-center. Morales followed Matthews with a solo home run of his own to cut the deficit to 5-3. The Angels stayed on the attack in the fifth inning as Mathis led off with a double. A one-out RBI single by Orlando Cabrera was followed by a double from Guerrero (four hits, 3 RBIs) to put runners on second and third. Weaver was replaced by reliever Eric O'Flaherty, who was greeted with a game-tying sacrifice fly from Garret Anderson. The five-run deficit matched the largest the Angels have come back from this season. "It seems like we're starting to show some resiliency," Matthews said. "And we've done it; we've had some come-from-behind wins but to get that win after being down by five is a tremendous game for us, a huge game." Morales' go-ahead double in the eighth snapped a 171/3-inning scoreless streak by Mariners reliever Brandon Morrow. The Angels now must decide what to do with Santana's spot in the rotation. It is likely that Moseley will get that spot again and take the mound at home Monday against the Oakland Athletics. Bartolo Colon, who will pitch on a rehab assignment Thursday, is likely to be used in that spot as well before the season ends. "We're going to evaluate some things," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "We've tried a lot of different things with Ervin. At times he's been electric and at times he's stubbed his toe like he did tonight. We'll talk about things and see what we'll do moving forward." Tuesday's disaster was the shortest of Santana's career when he wasn't injured. He also went one-third of an inning last season against the Cleveland Indians, coming out of the game after he was hit on the knee by a comebacker. "I actually felt really good stuff-wise, but I know my location was poor," Santana said through Mota. "My pitches were staying up in the zone and that's what happens." doug.padilla@sgvn.com160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You're all set! The Angels, though, had no problem overcoming an early five-run deficit to earn a 10-6 victory and open a four-game lead on the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. The game was tied, 5-5, in the fifth inning and, 6-6, in the seventh before the Angels took control with a four-run eighth. Kendry Morales drove in the go-ahead run with a double off the wall, Vladimir Guerrero had a two-run single and Maicer Izturis added an RBI single. "With Ervin having a tough start, this was big," Guerrero said through broadcaster Jose Mota, who was serving as interpreter. "When you looked around our dugout everybody was pumped up with that feeling we could come back and it happened." Santana showed Tuesday that his eye-popping start at Boston on Aug. 17 was merely a tease. In a key division game, Santana barely got an out. Everything else was off target or scorched as he gave up five first-inning runs. After seven batters and a third of an inning, the Mariners had a 5-0 lead. Santana was replaced by Dustin Moseley, who immediately started to turn around the team's fortunes. read more

This quiz is based on the information presented in Substrate Noise Coupling in Analog/RF Circuits, by Stephane Bronkers, Geert Van der Plas, Gerd Vandersteen, and Yves Rolain. Published by Artech House.
1. Which is NOT a class of substrate noise analysis?
impact substrate noise analysis partitioning.
2. What is the most popular and straightforward method for shielding analog integrated circuits against substrate noise?
Per page 39, "Guard rings are passive isolation structures, which prevent substrate noise currents from reaching the analog circuitry."
3. Aggressor and victim refer to what process?
An aggressor is the area of the substrate generating the potential noise source, and the victim is the area to which the noise is coupled. See Figure 3.3 on page 41.
4. What is the best way to separate substrate coupling noise from other regional noise coupling sources when developing mixed (digital/analog) signal devices?
During the development/characterization process, a dicing line can be designed into the die that allows physically separating the two (or more) partitions, then wire bonding between regions after mounting to a carrier. Wire bond lengths can usually be kept short enough to not degrade function, but still permit determination of substrate noise sources. See page 145.
5. At high frequencies, which off-chip noise coupling mechanism typically dominates?
Magnetic coupling between the die bond wires is typically many decibels greater than PCB trace coupling. See page 142.
6. What is the primary source of FM modulated noise spurs?
"To reduce the power of the FM modulated spurs, the impedance of the on-chip ground interconnect has to be small compared to the impedance of the PCB ground network." See page 174.
7. In a VCO circuit, what is a likely mechanism for AM spur generation and intermediate frequencies?
Parasitic capacitance permits the AM coupling by altering the reference potential of the substrate. See page 175.
8. How are digital and analog grounds kept separate on the die?
As with PCB design, maintaining isolated digital / analog grounds( and supplies when practical) is the best method for avoiding coupling noise. Inserting a small value resistor (0.5 ohms) between the PCB ground and the IC mounting pad can help reduce ground reference bounce. See page 186.
9. For what purpose is parasitic extraction used?
In order to allow more accurate simulation of devices, it is necessary to construct a robust equivalent circuit model that includes intentional and unintentional R,L, and C values. The model can then be used with high confidence in other designs. See page 200.
10. What determines to a large extent the efficiency of a P+ guard ring?
Substrate currents are picked up by the P+ region of the guard ring and are drained toward the PCB ground. See page 65.


Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 16/12/2014.
Line 167 has nav of quality 2 for first 23 seconds of the line. Some of the lines have a second of quality 2 nav other than that its quite good.
Starting RCD processing, converted images events file and converting raws to tifs now.
I would suggest adding a data quality remark about the blue 'tinge' that is around the edges of the photographs in to the read me as this is probably due to overexposure.
Once done, the dataset will be ready for delivery.
Couldn't get good enough solution in IPAS TC so processed in IPAS Pro (as was previously used for project).
Clipped .sol file as navigation has time going backwards error. Original stored as *backwards.sol.
Line 2 originally did not process, so added to delivery manually.
New delivery created (20150220) with reprocessed nav data. Ready for checking.
Starting delivery check on reprocessed Fenix data delivery.
Screenshots weren't named correctly - I renamed them.
Mapped bil and header file names for line 2 still had "_p_" in - renamed these files.
Data Quality Remarks section is a LaTeX section but Underflows and Overflows is a subsubsection - I would suggest changing the Underflows and Overflows section to a subsection.
The logsheet has the legacy empty page that we used to use for the Hawk and Eagle line information - probably no point in keeping it since it's just an empty table.
Please could you also delete the previous delivery if it is no longer needed.
Dataset RG13_06-289-hyperspectral-20150220 ready for delivery when the above issues have been addressed and the SWIR offset found as a result of the calibration has been investigated.
Found pitch and roll values. Starting classification.
Have reprocessed with new calibration but some bad pixels remain. Added more pixels to file and reprocessing.
Started processing full-waveform files in ALSPP. Handed over to tec.
Running isolated points classification algorithm at 10 5 over all lines. Copying classification to FW.
Its missing the readme, but other than that it should be good.
No need for the Eagle/Hawk page - this should be removed.
Might be useful for the PI to have the #XXXX line number?
Spurious temp file in ascii/ directory - probably left over from the DEM/screenshots generation? I haven't removed this as it seems to be an ASCII flight line, so unsure if needed or not.
Have renamed las1.2 directory to las1.0.
DEM and DEM header incorrectly named - haven't renamed these as they will need to be regenerated when the LAS files have been reclassified.
Line 11 is smaller in size and shorter in length - logsheet indicates that this flight line was aborted due to towering cumulus clouds, hence the shorter size so no problem here.
LAS 1.3 files open fine in Wave Viewer with no error messages produced.
Good across all flight lines (though something should be noted in the read me that there is a lack of buildings making corrections difficult).
12: Too many points around the two big cloud patches have been falsely classified as noise.
DEM shows that cloud has been missed, so worth re-classifiying the above files.
LAS files don't have a projection when lasinfo is ran (Dan looking at this).
Haven't run demcompare.py yet - I will run this on the new DEMs after re-classification.
Reprocessing again with bad pixels list from all flight lines (and 290's lines).
Converted thumbnail using convert -density 300 -thumbnail 1024 fenix_mosaic.jpg fenix_mosaic.jpg and remade readme.
Overflows and underflows are wrong I think, flight line 1 looks fine, line 2 has underflows from 530-535 and 590-621. I think the autoQC script's threshold needs to be tweaked.
Other than that it looks ok.
No need for the Eagle/Hawk page - this still needs to be removed (copying the one from the hyperspectral delivery would suffice).
Mention in the data quality remarks the lack of features for roll/pitch error correction.
Elevation differences are in the wrong units - convert these to centimetres.
Much better, all cloud seems to have been classified.
LAS files still don't have a projection when lasinfo is ran but this is not a reason to justify holding back the delivery. I have checked the projection used in the ALSPP config file, which shows UTM50N was used.
demcompare.py returned a result of greater than 12.
DEM screenshot doesn't open in eog but opens in Windows image viewer so the delivery is not worth holding back over this.
Just corrections to make to the read me and logsheet then it'll be ready to go.
Changed status back to processing, as waiting on calibration before delivery.
Remade delivery with new calibration data. Just needs approval on data quality report.
Starting on delivery with new files.
Please change the read me site location before delivery.
Changed Readme and renamed logsheet to SAFE Area.
zip_mapped.sh has finished, now rsyncing to arsf1 on FTP server.
Replaced wavelengths in header files with ones from updated calibration.
Processed files in APL - creating delivery.
just looking at the project.xml (and line xml) file, it's weird that it says "This is provided with the data:true" Why is the ":true" bit needed?
I believe the lidar dem was used to process this data. Is that ok?
Should probably mention cloud in data quality section of report, as was mentioned in previous delivery.
The data:true isn't in the XML file, it is added by the stylesheet. It shouldn't be there - will make a note to fix. As the actual XML metadata is OK should be fine to deliver though.
Have added sentence on cloud cover from previous readme.
The files were processed with a LiDAR DSM by mistake - not sure why this was left in the config file (might have been me testing). Started reprocessing lines with ASTER for consistency and will replace mapped files and metadata in delivery.
Reprocessed lines using ASTER DEM and replaced files in delivery.
Check spectra against 6S - look good.
Removed processing/owl/* as only used in script testing, not operational processing.
Renamed David_Coomes_Safe_0135 to OWL289-14-7 to match the rest of the files. This line appears to have been aborted according to the logsheet so was probably previously ignored. There is also no header file so it cannot be processed. Timestamp also confirms that this was collected after line 6.

"Oathbreaker" is the third episode of the sixth season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 53rd overall. It was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Daniel Sackheim, his directorial debut for the series.

Jon Snow is found alive by Ser Davos Seaworth; Ramsay Bolton is presented with the gift of Rickon Stark; Bran Stark, accompanied by the Three-eyed Raven, witnesses the confrontation at the Tower of Joy, where his father attempts to rescue his sister, Lyanna; but Bran is ultimately prevented from entering the tower; Daenerys Targaryen arrives at Vaes Dothrak where her consequences for leaving the khalasar will be determined, and in Braavos, a blind Arya Stark gives up her old life and sees anew as "no one".

"Oathbreaker" received high praise from critics who found the episode to have strong, forward-moving storytelling, although not presenting as many shocking moments, while also listing the Tower of Joy flashback as the highlight of the episode. In the United States, the episode premiere achieved a viewership of 7.28 million in its initial broadcast. Filming of the first exterior scene at Castle Black took place over the course of several months, as a result of a rock slide that occurred on the set. The episode earned a nomination at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series.

Plot

Beyond the Wall
Bran and the Three-eyed Raven observe a vision of a young Eddard Stark, Lord Howland Reed, and four other rebel soldiers arriving at the Tower of Joy in Dorne's Red Mountains at the climax of Robert's Rebellion. Ser Arthur Dayne and Ser Gerold Hightower greet Eddard as he arrives. Eddard announces that Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and the Mad King have been killed and asks why Ser Arthur was not present at the Battle of the Trident. Ser Arthur replies that he has been ordered to stay at the tower. After Eddard demands to know where his sister Lyanna is, the battle begins. Eddard kills Ser Gerold, but Ser Arthur defeats most of Eddard's men by himself, and is about to kill Eddard when a wounded Howland rises and stabs Ser Arthur through the back before Eddard delivers the fatal blow.

When a woman's scream emerges from the tower, Ned begins to run inside. The Three-Eyed Raven explains that the rest of the vision is intended for another time, but Bran demands to stay and calls out to Ned. Ned turns for a second, seemingly having heard Bran's voice, but continues inside, before the Three-Eyed Raven pulls Bran out of the vision. Back in the cave, Bran demands to know what was in the tower. The Three-Eyed Raven does not attend Bran's demands, saying he will eventually have to leave the cave but first must learn "everything".

In the Narrow Sea
As they sail to Oldtown, Samwell Tarly explains to Gilly that women are not welcomed at the Citadel and that he intends to leave her and her baby, Little Sam, with his family at Horn Hill while he trains to be a maester, but reassures her that she and Little Sam are all that matter to him.

At Winterfell
Smalljon Umber meets with Ramsay and Harald Karstark. Despite his dislike of Roose Bolton and his refusal to pledge fealty to Ramsay, Smalljon wishes to ally with the Boltons to destroy the Wildlings Jon has let settle south of the Wall. To demonstrate his loyalty, Smalljon presents Rickon Stark and Osha as his prisoners, proving Rickon's identity by also presenting the severed head of Rickon's direwolf Shaggydog.

In King's Landing
Cersei and Jaime interrupt a Small Council meeting at which Lord Kevan Lannister, Lady Olenna Tyrell, Lord Mace Tyrell, and Grand Maester Pycelle are present. Cersei and Jaime mention that Ellaria and the Sand Snakes have taken control of Dorne, and demand to sit in on the Small Council; when they refuse to leave, Kevan instead orders the council to leave the room.

Tommen marches into the Great Sept, demanding to let Cersei see Myrcella's tomb. The High Sparrow explains she will be able to once her sins have been atoned for and she has faced trial. After telling their respective soldiers to stand down, the High Sparrow explains the importance of the Mother in the Faith of the Seven, showing Tommen his resemblance to his mother.

In Braavos
Arya trains using sticks with the Waif in the House of Black and White. In between duels, the Waif questions Arya about who she used to be. Arya reveals all of her family members and reveals that she had taken the Hound off her kill list before she left him to die, conflicted about her desire to kill him. After she is finally able to parry the Waif's hits, Jaqen offers Arya her sight back if she says her name. When she replies "a girl has no name", Jaqen offers her water from the poisonous well in the temple's entrance chamber. Arya drinks and her sight is restored.

In Vaes Dothrak
Daenerys arrives with Khal Moro's khalasar at Vaes Dothrak and is escorted to meet with the Dosh Khaleen. The elder of the Dosh Khaleen tries to sympathize with Daenerys and explains that the various khalasars have gathered at Vaes Dothrak to discuss which cities and towns to conquer. They have also met to discuss what to do with Daenerys; the elder hopes, for Daenerys' safety, that they decide to let her remain with the Dosh Khaleen.

In Meereen
Varys interrogates Vala, who had conspired with the Sons of the Harpy in their attacks on Unsullied. Vala confesses that if she gives him information on the Sons of the Harpy they will likely kill her. Varys offers her and her son safe passage to Pentos in exchange for information.

Later, Varys explains to Tyrion, Grey Worm, and Missandei that he has discovered that the slave masters of Yunkai, Astapor, and Volantis have been financing the Sons of the Harpy. Tyrion warns that taking military action will leave Meereen defenseless and they conclude that the only way to defeat the Sons of the Harpy is to hunt them down. Tyrion asks Varys to send his "little birds" to deliver a message to the leaders of Astapor, Yunkai, and Volantis.

At the Wall
After his resurrection, Jon is greeted by Davos and Melisandre. Melisandre tells Jon that her religion prophesies the return of a heroic prince and suggests that this prince may not be Stannis, as she first thought, but Jon. Jon enters the courtyard to meet with the wildlings and reunite with Tormund and Edd. Tormund tells Jon that the Wildlings think he is a god since he returned from the dead.

Jon presides over the hanging of Thorne, Olly, Othell Yarwyck, and Bowen Marsh. Thorne is unrepentant, declaring that he only did what he thought was right for the Night's Watch and would make the same choice again. Thorne accepts his inevitable death, and tells Jon he'll be fighting the wildlings' battles forever. Olly says nothing as he hatefully stares at Jon. After hanging the mutineers, Jon resigns from the Night's Watch, his oath technically having been fulfilled upon his death.

Production

Writing

"Oathbreaker" was written by the series' creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. Some elements in the episode were based on the sixth novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter, which author George R. R. Martin had hoped to have completed before the sixth season began airing. It also contains elements from the chapter "The Blind Girl" from A Dance with Dragons and several chapters of Samwell Tarly's voyage to the Citadel from A Feast for Crows. The raid on the Tower of Joy was an event portrayed in a dream of Ned Stark in the chapter "Eddard X" of A Game of Thrones.

In the "Inside the Episode" feature for "Oathbreaker", showrunner Weiss stated of the Tower of Joy flashback that "One of the best things about being able to go back with Bran and look at the past is to be able to see the discrepancy between the received history, the things that everybody knows about the things that happened, and what actually happened." Benioff continued, "Every kid that grows up in Westeros, they all hear about this legendary sword fight that took place twenty years ago, and as far as Bran knew, it was just his father beat this legendary guy." Weiss also stated "Honor was so important to Ned Stark that it was worth losing his own life for, but he was completely ready to let go of that honor and excellence to do something that he really felt was more important. It could make a very, very strong defense for Ned doing what he did, and it certainly does puncture the mythology of Ned Stark that's running through this world, especially after his death."

For the first scene of the episode, when Jon Snow arises from the table, Weiss stated that "Jon coming back to life was something in the first, first version we wrote originally had more talking. And as we saw it on the page written out, we realized it was just too much dialogue, we decided to just give the kind of awe of that moment its due."

Casting

Actors Natalia Tena (Osha) and Art Parkinson (Rickon Stark), both of whom had recurring roles in the series until the third season, make their first return appearance in the episode. The episode was also the final appearance for a recurring character since the first season episode "Lord Snow", Ser Alliser Thorne, portrayed by Owen Teale.

For the flashback scene at the Tower of Joy, actor Robert Aramayo was cast to play a young Eddard Stark. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Aramayo stated that he was a big fan of the series, and that "it was an honor and a gift to be able to be a part of it." In regards to portraying the character similar to Sean Bean, who played Eddard Stark in the first season, Aramayo noted, "I didn't want to get too hung up on sounding like Sean because I think that would've sort of got in my way if I'd have just situated all my work in that place. I watched a lot of footage of him playing Ned in the first season again, repeatedly, especially one particular fight scene that he was in and I think that was the biggest help for me when creating this version of Ned – was watching what Sean did with Ned in the first season and trying to work out what a younger man's version of that is." In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter Aramayo spoke about auditioning for the role, stating, "The chance to audition to be on the show was a dream, even to audition. It was an absolute dream to me. I was very excited to audition, and landing the role was beyond my wildest dreams. Then when I found out the role was Ned, it was overwhelming."

Filming

"Oathbreaker" was directed by Daniel Sackheim. Sackheim is a first time director for Game of Thrones; he also directed the subsequent episode, "Book of the Stranger".

Filming of the first exterior scene at Castle Black and the final scene with Jon Snow executing the traitors of the Night's Watch took place over the course of several months, with the execution scene being filmed first out of the two. As a result of a rock slide that occurred on the set of where Castle Black is staged at Magheramorne Quarry, scheduling for the filming of the scenes had to be re-worked by executive producer Bernie Caulfield and producer Chris Newman, with showrunner D. B. Weiss saying, "It actually worked out for the best – some of the stuff we were shooting in that location benefited from the additional prep time the rock slide gave us."

The Castle of Zafra in Guadalajara, Spain stood in for the Tower of Joy in the flashback scene involving a young Ned Stark and Ser Arthur Dayne, as witnessed by Bran Stark and the Three-eyed Raven. During filming of the scene, it was reported widely among media sources after a fan of the series had snuck their way onto a nearby mountain and filmed a small portion of the fighting scenes that occurred. Robert Aramayo (young Eddard Stark) spoke about the filming of the scene in an interview following the airing of the episode and stated, "We all went through a bunch of training, which continued through our three- or four-day shoot in Spain. It was intense. It was not easy. I did not find it easy to shoot that fight sequence. It's not an easy routine at all. And Luke Roberts, who plays Arthur Dayne, he's incredible, man." He continued, "If your move's getting blocked, you obviously can't know that, just like when you're playing a scene through dialogue. You can't know the response your scene partner gives you is going to be the response you'll get. You hope it is. Likewise, in a fight, if you're going to chop somebody's arm off or stab them in the gut — the intention is to chop that arm off or stab someone in the gut, and you have to play that intention fully. I didn't expect it, but it takes a lot of skill in terms of acting to play."

Reception

Ratings
"Oathbreaker" was viewed by 7.28 million American households on its initial viewing on HBO, which was nearly identical to the previous week's rating of 7.29 million viewers for the episode "Home". The episode also acquired a 3.7 rating in the 18–49 demographic, making it the highest rated show on cable television of the night. In the United Kingdom, the episode was viewed by 2.797 million viewers on Sky Atlantic; it also received 0.132 million timeshift viewers.

Critical reception
"Oathbreaker" was very positively received by critics, citing the Tower of Joy flashback, the final scene with Jon Snow executing his assassins, and the storytelling as strong points for the episode. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, who surveyed 48 reviews of the episode and judged 87% of them to be positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The most solid episode of season six so far, 'Oathbreaker' boasts no shocking reveals or breathless cliffhangers, just strong forward-moving storytelling."

In a review for IGN, Matt Fowler wrote, "With Jon's final choice in "Oathbreaker," the show seemed to make a huge step forward into the endgame. One where we might see things that have been set up for a long time start to pay off. Not everyone's story is firing on all cylinders at the moment, Tyrion was actively bored while waiting for news this week, but enough is going on in the North and at King's Landing to carry the series right now." Likewise, Emily VanDerWerff of Vox wrote, ""Oathbreaker" is a crisp, lean, nicely paced episode of Game of Thrones. It's one of those episodes where the characters are mostly being positioned for future episodes, but it's a solidly executed version of that basic template." Alyssa Rosenberg of the Washington Post wrote that she believed this was "The strongest episode of the sixth season of Game of Thrones to date." While Erik Kain of Forbes noted "The season has been full of revelations, but things are still building. That's okay. I love the tension and not knowing exactly what's coming."

James Hunt of What Culture wrote, "Another week of table setting, and a very entertaining one at that ... It didn't quite reach the high watermark of last week's instalment, but there was still a lot of great stuff here." Steve Johnson of The Baltimore Sun noted, "Instead of the heavy action of the season's first two hours, Sunday's Game of Thrones, called "Oathbreaker," was more about putting pieces on the chess board into place." Sarah Larson of The New Yorker wrote in her review, "Last week, we saw Jon Snow re-enter life; this week, we may have been in proximity to him entering it, the first time, in the usual way." Tim Surette of TV.com called the episode, "Exhilarating".

Katya and I made a quick visit to the biggest gem and jewellery show in London, the IJL at Earls Court. This show runs every September from Sunday to Wednesday and is strictly a trade-only show.
We had registered in advance and were able to pick up our badges effortless at the front desk.
Inside the show is well draped out, oozing style. There is no doubt a great amount of money spent by exhibitors at the show.
Our first stop was to visit Gem-A (The Gemmological Association of Great Britain), where we met with Andrew Fellows and Jack Ogden and had a long helpful chat about the forthcoming launch of gemdat.org.
We also took the opportunity to pick up some of their excellent Gems and Jewellery magazines and the Journal of Gemmology.
Katya also admired the Encyclopedia of Inclusions in Gemstones three-volume set, but these were outside of our budget for the show.
There was plenty to admire even for window-shoppers such as us.
We also had a good useful discussion with Edward Johnson, director of the London branch of the GIA (Gemologial Institute of America) about gemdat and about the Weardale Giant fluorite found recently in County Durham, England.
Finally, the International Gemological Institute (IGI) were also exhibiting and running a diamond testing lab hidden behind their booth. I spoke with Francois Smolders, Senior Gemologist at the IGI, and he explained that IGI were considering opening a new gem testing lab in London - something the UK has been missing since Gem-A closed down their testing labs in 2008. Here is a view of Francois working at his microscope in the lab.

KVCK, at 1450 AM, broadcasts a monophonic signal using the standard monophonic AM modulation scheme. The music feed to the station from its content provider, however, is stereo, and KVCK routes only one channel of that feed to its transmitter. So for any content that provides fully panned mix to the missing channel, no sound reaches the listener.
This problem has existed for decades, the station has been notified many times about it by email and in writing, yet it persists. The solution should be as simple as a stereo-to-mono cable or mixer, or, if the content is provided digitally, by a software setting or a call to the content provider.
That this has never been corrected comprises an interesting mystery with regard to KVCK, and makes it an unusual DX catch for BCB DXers.
Here's a 20-second fragment of Marvin Gaye's "Heard it Through the Grapevine"
KVCK is like one of those double-struck pennies from the US mint. Very rare, and not a very good product — but interesting!
[EDIT:] Opportunity lost. They've finally fixed it, after many years. It's a good thing. I guess.
SdrDx 2.11 adds visible memory markers, an enhanced internal database, better panning window width by window width, a number of fixes and performance improvements, and additional documentation.
Please see this post for the latest details on v1.10.


The #NYGiants have hired Mike Dawson as outside linebackers coach and Henry Baker as the assistant defensive backs coach.
I'm ever the optimist, but I think you're reaching a bit.
A little better play from both units and the Giants could have approached being a .500 team.
We're a bit further away than that.
The really interesting thing about 3 of those 4 games, the offense played poorly in the 2nd half (Eagles) or in either of Cowboys/Colts could have won the game with a FG and actually had the ball with time.
So while you say defense, I say offense lol.....either way I think we're both right, both units need to improve in 2019 and then we could be looking at .500 (or maybe playoffs with some bounces).
...once the team finds a few OLBers.
Need to be able to stop that gut wrenching 2 pointer at the end of the Dallas game...that's a win with a stop, and a loss with no stop.
Baker had rejoined the Rutgers staff before deciding to take the (better) Giants job.
Maybe this was the BBIer who got the "Godfather" offer - the Giants "made him an offer he couldn't refuse".
coach. Whats next weakside LB coach?
Note his defensive line background. Our OLB's are DE/LB hybrids.
And they don't play either position particularly well!
We'll see about Lorenzo Carter.
Olivier Vernon is a maddening player.
Mike Dawson coached Brandon Graham who could be a free agent option, particularly if we move on from Vernon.
Henry Baker coached FS Nasir Adderley when he was at Delaware. He could be on the draft radar.

When I think of headbands I go between images from two distinct times in my life: when I was a little girl with giant bows adorning my head and then in high school when Gossip Girl sparked a wave of trends during its hay-day. For years I developed quite the collection of headbands, scarves and clips until one day, after many had gone un-used for years, I decided to get rid of them. Now that these beloved accessories have re-surfaced during a new spike in popularity, I'm hearing the words "keep it just in case it come back around" echoing in my head.
Every now and then there is something I've cleaned out of my closet that I severely regret a few years later. Headbands and scarves are one of them. Granted, the ones I have in mind have had a serious upgrade in the last year or two, but it still would have been nice to have them around just in case I might be able to recycle a few. Speaking of upgrades, let's talk about how headbands have changed since the glory days of Blair Waldorf's reign on the Upper East Side.
Headbands have taken on a bohemian feel with soft fabrics, elastic bands and even braided versions that look more relaxed than the traditional u-shaped plastic we used to don. Many of the styles you see on the market are really a cross between a headband and a headscarf or turban, like the one I'm wearing in this outfit. Remember the headaches you used to get from traditional versions? Fear no more! This one is flexible and comfortable to wear all day long. Not to mention, really stinkin' cute!
Made from one of my favorite contemporary brands, the pearl embellishments add a bit of glam to my pink satin headband. Plus, it's currently on sale for only $13, compared to a designer version that could cost you over $100! I've paired it back to a leopard sweater and my go-to ripped black jeans. My blush handbag (part of a set!) helps tie in the pink tones and the white mules are the finishing touch to this look.
Speaking of pink, don't forget that I've teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers for a special Valentine's Day giveaway! Complete the Rafflecopter below or a chance to win a $200 Gal Meets Glam Gift Card PLUS a $300 Open Table Gift Card!
That's right folks, $500 in prizes that make for the perfect Valentine's (or Galentine's) Day! Make sure to share the love with your friends and family, too, by sending them this link or the link to my original post so they have a chance to win this amazing prize.
I LOVE this post!! Just found your blog via Pinterest and I am so so in love <3 Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much Rachel for following and I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying it!!!

SOLIDWORKS Visualize (formerly known as Bunkspeed) provides a suite of standalone software tools that combine industry-leading rendering capabilities with visual design-oriented features and workflows that enable easy and fast creation of visual content that communicates a design's vision, passion, and emotion.
Who can benefit from SOLIDWORKS® Visualization products? Check this link SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
This test is dedicated to people who want to work in SOLIDWORKS Visualize and which considering the purchase workstation or mobile workstation to maximize performance.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize use technology NVIDIA Iray 2015 with architecture NVIDIA Fermi – Maxwell GPU. Iray progressively refines its image until completion, providing consistent results from interactive editing to final frame. It's a highly predictive approach that marries with the scalable, world-class performance across NVIDIA GPUs to give constant feedback and rapid results. This slashes the time needed to perfect scenes and deliver images rivaling photographs.
What gives you NVIDIA Iray in SOLIDWORKS Visualize?
For the tests we used the car model Camaro.
We create three cameras: Photo, Route, Bloom.
For the testes we used three different hardware as below.
All graphics card we use for the tests, shown in the below. See how many CUDA cores we have!
CUDA is NVIDIA's parallel computing architecture that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU (graphics processing unit).
Computing is evolving from "central processing" on the CPU to "co-processing" on the CPU and GPU. To enable this new computing paradigm, NVIDIA invented the CUDA parallel computing architecture that is now shipping in GeForce, ION Quadro, and Tesla GPUs, representing a significant installed base for application developers.
SOLIDWORKS Visualize has the ability to render by using the GPU, what exactly is this different from the normal transfer calculations on the CPU?
Check out the video clip below for an entertaining CPU versus GPU.
After preparing the model, materials and scenes for all the tested graphics cards we have received the same photo, but with different time.
All graphs are presented in unit time (s).
At the beginning we decided to see how they handle 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 / 2.5 GHz.
Time for the CPU is between 14-16 min. In the camera Route we see a lot of scenes, so the processor performs les computation.
The first one has been inserted into the workstation HP Z840 two cards M6000. SOLIDWORKS Visualize does not require connection cards in SLI technology. We checked it and the difference was very small – around 2 seconds.
The results show the rendering by using GPU and hybrid options.
From the graph you can see that using the same GPU takes approx. 3 min. . It is actually quickly especially that with this option, we have free the processor and can safely work on our workstation because all calculations are done in two graphics cards – total 6 144 cores CUDA! And if we add the 2 processors we are able to shorten the time to 2 min. 43s.
You can see the differences rendering depending on the camera settings.
Another test is to use a single card NVIDIA Quadro M6000. We see that time we extended almost doubled.
Now we check how they are doing using the same settings the two graphics cards NVIDIA Quadro M5000. Compared to the previous test, we should see a larger difference between the option hybrid and the GPU.
Using two cards NVIDIA Quadro M5000 time that we get for the camera Photo and Route is 4 min. 37 s. on GPU and 3 min. 43 s. on Hybrid.
One card gets time 9 min. 6s. on GPU, and 6 min. 2 s. on Hybrid.
We can observe the role at the hybrid option plays the same processor using a single card we increase almost 3 minutes.!
Next graphics card that we use is NVIDIA Quadro M4000.
Time for the GPU at 2x NVIDIA Quadro M4000 is 6 min. 40s., Hybrid 4 min. 53 s.
For one card we already have a big jump, because for one card GPUs time we get within 13 min. 18s. Along with processors that time may be close and is 7 min. 32s.
You can see a very big difference in options Hybrid, where we get time for one card about 14 min. faster than the GPU.
Another card will be NVIDIA Quadro K3100M. It is used in mobile workstations in the series HP ZBook 17.
The time that we get to "Photo" is 36 min. 48s on GPU, while at the option Hybrid 28 min. 19s.
NVIDIA Quadro K1100M doing bad, and time we get with it on GPU – 1h 15 min. 36s, Hybrid 46 min. 52s. In addition, this is the minimum graphics card that is required to work with software SOLIDWORKS Visualize. We checked it on the card K610M and even with hybrid rendering option did't start. The reason for this is too small memory card.
With this combination we gain increase about 20 seconds, but as you can see us disappear very difference between GPUs and Hybrid option.
On the top configuration 2x NVIDIA Quadro M6000 we made animation.
On the charts, which are presented below is a list of cards that have been inserted into the workstation HP Z840. The last table presents the summary list of all the test graphics cards.
You can see that a better option as compared to the prices is used two cards rather than on card with a higher specifications, but we lose an additional PCI slot. Also we need to check the power supply in our workstation is suitable to serve two cards.
Using the two processors Intel Xeon E5-2680v3 / 2.5 GHz we get longer time by approx. 2 minutes. than using two cards NVIDIA Quadro K2200. We can assume that one such processor will be comparable to one card.

When the job is in full execution mode you should think about asking the job streams to report about the status of crucial dependencies on a typical basis, helping you to monitor the vital dependencies and take corrective actions if needed. For instance, at the very first iteration, it may take really long to finish the job, within another iteration it might cost a fantastic thing. Now that you're familiar with all the little measures that can allow you to ensure a more successful endeavor, it's important to likewise stand back and have a look at the huge picture. Distinct jobs have collections of distinct metrics and key performance indicators that has to be tracked as a means to determine its general performance. Whether you're freelancing or running different jobs for your organization at precisely the same time a project tracking program is necessary. Any job must be systematically planned. Every complicated project contains multiple components.
Without setting aims and objectives, projects aren't likely to be near the prospect of visiting a flourishing conclusion. A project must also track its deadline. For instance, if our job is to produce a house, then we need to have an extremely clear job plan regarding how we'll build before we start building. It's possible to monitor a number of jobs in 1 template by including a brand new sheet dedicated to this endeavor.
You record the occupation, who's accountable for this and what the most recent updates are. So it's going to turn into easy to add tasks and conserve time. You might now undergo the tasks anytime you want to. You should consider all activities and tasks needed to finish a region of the job.
