European Tour Launches Interactive Golf Swing Technology
Category: Inside Golf
By THE EUROPEAN TOUR
The European Tour announced the launch of The Swing Index, the first artificial intelligence technology that enables millions of golfers to improve their golf swing. The Swing Index mobile app links golfers to PGA professionals around the world, providing every golfer a two-way, personal experience to send in their golf swing and create rapid game improvement.
The Swing Index was built by a team of the world's top golf swing coaches and data scientists to study why players mishit the golf ball. The research uncovered that every player has a Primary Swing Fault that prevents their sustainable game improvement. When the player corrects their Primary Swing Fault, their performance dramatically improves. The research was converted into a mobile app called The Swing Index, where players submit their personal swing from their mobile device where an Artificial Intelligence engine (SwingAI) guided by a world class teaching pro identifies your Primary Swing Fault and produces a personalised step by step roadmap to unleash your potential as a golfer. The result has been sustainable game improvement for player.
Players can download Swing Index on the App Store or Google Play and sign up for their Swing Index.

Q: throw function removed in c++ 20. how do you throw exceptions now? I can't find anything on what to replace a throw with in c++ when updating code.
Seeing throw will be removed in the next version, c++20.
Also it was deprecated and I can find no information as to what the accepted replacement is.
example:
const Vec2 &    normalize ();           // modifies *this
const Vec2 &    normalizeExc () throw (IEX_NAMESPACE::MathExc);
const Vec2 &    normalizeNonNull ();

Vec2<T>     normalized () const;    // does not modify *this
Vec2<T>     normalizedExc () const throw (IEX_NAMESPACE::MathExc);
Vec2<T>     normalizedNonNull () const;

Scotty McCreery, News, Fan Site, Daily Updates, Pictures, Videos, Fan Mail Address: One Year Ago Today We Met Scotty McCreery Happy ONE Year Anniversary.
One Year Ago Today We Met Scotty McCreery Happy ONE Year Anniversary.
And what a year it has been for American Idol winner Scotty McCreery who is currently on tour as the opening act for Brad Paisley, and The Band Perry. This last year has been amazing for the North Carolina Garner native who's audition episode aired one year ago today. Many fans have taken to twitter to wish Scotty a "Happy Anniversary" and even wish the "McCreerians" themselves one.
Scotty's year has been jam packed since he tried out for American Idol and quickly became a fan favorite on the show, never once landing in the bottom 2 or 3. He's had 2 hit songs, sang on the Opry, performed with Josh Turner, Brad Paisley, and Tim McGraw. His album debuted at number one across all genres, and has since gone platinum. He's been nominated for ACM Best New Artist, and recently won the ACA's fan voted "New Artist of the Year Award."
Scotty turned 18 in October, but even though he's an adult still makes sure "Momma" is on the road with him. He's in the process of finishing up his Sr. year in high school, while filing out college applications, and planing on pitching for the Garner Trojans Baseball team this spring.
Additionally, it's just been announced Scotty will play himself on the new television show "The Hart Of Dixie". Scotty will appear as himself, singing his hit song "The Trouble With Girls." The show is set to air this April on the CW.
We're very proud of you Scotty! And the fans would like to congratulate you on an amazing year.!
Here are just a few videos from the past year.
He is special - so very genuine! I am so impressed with the way he handles the fame (pros and cons) with such grace - a true southern gentleman.
I'm so glad he auditioned for American Idol. God blessed him with an amazing voice and it needs to be heard. Keep shining your light Scotty!
This "Homecoming Video" of Scotty is by far the best of all the American Idols so far! His arrival in the limo with Elvis singing 'Hunka Hunka Burning Love' what an impact, especially when Scotty sings Elvis songs so well!!
Jeez, how many times can we look at these videos....the performances still give me cold chills....had to skip the hometown video as I didn't feel up to a total go-to-pieces which happens ever time I watch it...so much love for Scotty...looking over at Scotty's tweet about being at laundromat in Idaho...can u imagine being a totally addicted Scotty fan and walking in there to do ur laundry?....I'd never hate doing laundry again.
I meant that in good way..about how many times can we look at the videos...never tire of a Scotty moment.
I have yet to get tired of watching anything Scotty. I go back to watching all of his videos, depending on my mood and I just love to see Scotty grow into the Super Star that he is becoming...I noticed in the last radio interview, the lady DJ said that people at the station were so hyped for his visit that the atmosphere was as if Taylor Swift was arriving instead. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels the joy. If I'm in need of a smile or a little joy, I just watch a Scotty video or put on his CD and..that does the trick.
Happy one Year Anniversary Scotty. So happy you continue to entain us. ILYTB !!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SCOTTY!! YOU HAVE MADE YOUR FANS AND FAMILY VERY PROUD OF YOU. WE WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF YOU OR WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS,WHEN YOU COME ON TV, AND LISTENING TO YOUR SINGING. WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU COME INTO OUR LIVES.
Thank you for your tribute to this talented performer. Hadn't seen the Ole Oprey video.
Congratulations Scotty, on your 1st Anniversary.
You have brought so much joy, laughter & fun to my life. I thank God for you everyday & my prayers are always with you & your family.
Wow! Can't believe it has been a year. Congratulations, Scotty. Thank you for the gift of yourself. You have made my days always exciting during Season 10 competition and now make my day with all your accomplishments. So very proud of you.
What is there left to say except Amen,& Ditto!!! And thank you Scotty from the depths of my heart for the blessing you are to me and to MILLIONS of others!!!And thank God and your amazing parents who made you this wonderful, beautiful person and singer!!!!
"CONGRATULATIONS,SCOTTY!".You just don't know how much joy you have brought to our lives.We will never tire following you.God bless to your parents too,for bringing up such a fine gentleman.Here's to more blessings.......Ate Verlet of Florida.
Kinda funny how its the one year anniversary today and tonight on idol they showed two guys "trying" to sing YOUR MAN! LOL!
I had forgotten how adorable he was singing both these songs. Loved ILYTB and especially Check Yes Or No!!! Congrats on a great year!
That homecoming video always gets me. It was so touching and genuine. It is a true blessing for us to meet Scotty and his wonderful family. Liked MAC said, I got into Twitter, YouTube, Fan Club all because of Scotty. People don't understand how special Scotty is. He is not just a singer or artist. He is a complete package with a kind heart, a rare humbleness & sincerity who also happens to have a beautiful voice that melts one's heart.
your fans. I can hardly wait to see you in Vegas.
Thank you so much for posting this Opry video. I hadn't seen it before. Such animation on check yes or no....better than on the Idol stage. I'm going to watch it again.......and again!! Scotty has kept my spirits high during this year of turmoil and I thank him for that. Mr. and Mrs. McCreery have done a fine job, raising this wonderful Country Gentleman. They should be awarded the "Parents of the Year"......if there is such an award.
Scotty, I just have to say that I've never been as taken with any other singer as I am with you. And to think that I wasn't even going to watch AI last year until my husband told me that a young guy from Garner was going to be on it. I watched your audition and was instantly hooked, and couldn't wait for AI each week. I listen to you all the time and never get tired of your music, and am continuously trying to find new information on you each day. You are such a wonderful young man with an amazing voice, and I will always support you. You always put a smile on my face and I love you for the precious young man that you are and for your faith in the Lord!
Is there anything else to say here? I just love this young man sooooo much!! I loved the animation in Scottys face, and also the way he holds his microphone!! I loved it when he did it on Idol too! I miss that about him, and I wish he would bring it back more! His personality just SHINES here.....I LOVE IT!!!
well congratulations on your first anniversity, time sure flies. Thanks for such a wonderful full year . U are such a joy to listen to. God be with U always. God bless your whole family. I pray that you have already won the BEST NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR. God's speed on you life and God's favor on your life.

It's a 'major' day at Seminole GC
By Tim Rosaforte
**Rickie Fowler warmed up for his title defense of one of club golf's major championships by finishing T-13 in the Honda Classic yesterday. Today he will be at the Seminole GC pro-member with partner Buddy Marucci in hopes of getting his name on the locker room wall a third consecutive time.
"It's the first major of the year, so I'm playing to win," Fowler said half-kidding at PGA National. "It's cool to walk in there and have your name permanently on the board."
In the northeast corner of the Seminole locker room is a piece of mahogany with names that date to 1937. Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret and Arnold Palmer won this event, as did Bing Crosby, with Gardner Dickinson as his partner. As Lee Westwood said hitting putts before the third round of the Honda, "Everybody wants their name on the board for the Seminole Pro-Member. It's a Who's Who."
Related: See what's in Rickie Fowler's bag
The name on the wall is just part of what this is all about. "The tradition, the history, the people there -- it's such a good vibe," said Graeme McDowell. "The first year I played there, I don't think could conceive the magnitude of it, when you see Nicklaus, and Palmer and all these legends of the game, plus having the mystique of Hogan kind of just there. There are just so many good people, obviously powerful people, but that's [secondary]. It's just such a phenomenal golf course."
First off in the cold at 7:30 a.m. are the South African major championship winners (and Palm Beach Gardens residents) Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. Ray Floyd, the club's only touring pro member, has an afternoon time with Alfy Fanjul, the sugar magnate. Palmer is on the tee at 9:30 with outgoing club president Tim Neher, who reinvented this event in 2004 (reviving the Seminole Amateur-Professional that attracted tour players from 1937 to 1961).
Paired with Fowler and Marucci are four-time club champion Kelly Miller and Sony Open winner Russell Henley. Jay Haas is playing in the same pairing as his son, Bill Haas. Adam Scott is with his mentor, Greg Norman. There are two Harmons in the field, Butch and Craig; their father Claude was the club's pro from 1945-1957, and holder of the course record (60).
There are some players -- like Haas, Scott, Zach Johnson, Bo Van Pelt, Nick Watney and Matt Kuchar -- who didn't play the Honda but are playing the Pro-Member on their way to Doral for the WGC-Cadillac Invitational. On that list is Luke Donald, who lives at The Bear's Club in Jupiter and plays the Pro-Member with fellow Northwestern alum Eric Gleacher.
This is not for charity or a corporate sponsor. This is about playing a Donald Ross masterpiece along the Atlantic, and as McDowell alluded, having the Seminole experience. Ernie Els, who plays with Johann Rupert, once traveled overnight in 2005 after a victory in Dubai and walked through the locker room doors at The 'Nole in time for his afternoon tee time. Els and Rupert won low net in '04.

"It's such a great day of golf at a place that is all about golf," said retired Deutsche Bank CEO Seth Waugh, who will be playing with Justin Rose. "I was asking Davis Love III about his neck [surgery], and he said, 'The only bummer is I'll miss two majors, the Seminole Pro-Member and the Masters.'"

New Report Tackles Critical Challenges in Climate and Disaster Risk Financing for Small Island Developing States
Published: November 11, 20168:33 am Updated: November 25, 20169:57 am
Washington, D.C., November 10, 2016—A new report, Climate and Disaster Resilience Financing in Small Island States shows that, in spite of increasing climate risks, only 14 percent of development aid for vulnerable small island nations addresses climate change and natural disasters.
Photo- World Bank
The report, prepared by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), the World Bank, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), shows that more than 335 major natural disasters have occurred in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) since 2000, resulting in an estimated US$22.7 billion in direct damages. Yet, efforts to build resilience to climate change and disasters are being hampered by a highly complex web of global financing, creating acute fragmentation.
The result is often a confusing array of dozens of small projects – half of which are below $200,000 each and collectively account for only 2 percent of all support – creating large inefficiencies and a lack of broad impact. The report also found that while SIDS received US$783 million a year in climate and disaster resilience financing during 2011-2014, the proportion of grant financing has been declining.
"When a single extreme weather event can cause losses that exceed a small island country's GDP by several times, governments need a more comprehensive approach to manage risk effectively," said John Roome, Senior Director of the Climate Change Group at the World Bank. "We are working with our partners to ensure that Small Island Developing States have the tools they need to protect both their citizens and their economies, and are able to channel incoming financing where it is most needed."
"Sustaining development progress in the midst of an increasingly volatile climate is no easy task, especially for communities within SIDS," says Jorge Moreira da Silva, OECD Development Director. "However, with greater international cooperation and by harnessing emerging financial innovations, governments and donors can steer vital financing to build lasting resilience for these countries, and create a safer and more prosperous future."
The report calls for more coordinated, predictable and long-term financing for climate and disaster risk that is tailored to the needs of small islands. It also advocates for strengthened enabling policies and institutions in SIDS to ensure funds for managing climate risk are used more effectively. Read the full report here.
About the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery
Managed by the World Bank, the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is a global partnership that helps developing countries better understand and reduce their vulnerabilities to natural hazards and adapt to climate change. GFDRR is supported by 34 countries and 10 international organizations. Working with over 400 local, national, regional, and international partners, GFDRR provides grant financing, technical assistance, training and knowledge sharing activities to mainstream disaster and climate risk management in policies and strategies.
About the World Bank Group
The World Bank Group is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries. It comprises five closely associated institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA), which together form the World Bank; the International Finance Corporation (IFC); the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA); and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Each institution plays a distinct role in the mission to fight poverty and improve living standards for people in the developing world. For more information, please visit www.worldbank.org, www.miga.org, and www.ifc.org.
About the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
Working with over 100 countries, the OECD is a global policy forum that promotes policies to improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. The OECD fosters policy dialogue and peer learning globally, seeking and promoting solutions to common challenges. The OECD is working in partnership with other institutions as well as with donor and recipient governments to help maximize the full potential of development finance, particularly of scarce Official Development Assistance (ODA) flows to countries most in need, and to support the development of financial instruments and approaches that are tailored to their specific circumstances and needs.

Édouard Manet (Parijs, 23 januari 1832 – aldaar, 30 april 1883) was een 19e-eeuwse Frans kunstschilder en een sleutelfiguur in de overgang van het realisme naar het impressionisme. Met zijn losse schildertoets en vernieuwende onderwerpkeuze stond hij tevens aan de bakermat van de moderne kunst. Zijn vroege meesterwerken, zoals Le déjeuner sur l'herbe en Olympia, zorgden voor veel controverse en inspireerden een generatie jonge impressionistische schilders.

Levensloop

Jeugd
Manet kwam uit een Parijs bourgeois milieu. Zijn vader, Auguste, was rechter en zijn moeder, Eugénie-Desirée Fournier, was de peetdochter van de latere koning Karel XIV Johan van Zweden. Manet, die erg op zijn ouders gesteld was, schijnt een gelukkige jeugd gehad te hebben, maar hij had een hekel aan school en bleef één keer zitten. Op school leerde hij zijn trouwe vriend Antonin Proust kennen, die op enkele schilderijen is afgebeeld en in 1897 het boek Souvenirs de Manet (Herinneringen aan Manet) publiceerde. Hij was de oom van de schrijver Marcel Proust.

Zijn vader wilde dat hij ook rechten ging studeren, maar zelf wilde de jonge Manet kunstenaar worden. Hij werd hierin gestimuleerd door zijn oom Charles Fournier. Manets vader meende dat hij ook naar zee kon gaan en stuurde hem op zijn zestiende op een reis van een half jaar naar Rio de Janeiro. Manet vond het aan boord erg saai en zat dan ook uren achtereen te tekenen. Bij thuiskomst begon zijn carrière als schilder: hij schreef zich in januari 1850 samen met Proust in als leerling van Thomas Couture en als kopiist in het Louvre. In het Louvre en tijdens reizen naar Nederland en Italië bracht Manet veel tijd door met het kopiëren van oude meesters, die hem later ook vaak tot inspiratie dienden (zie onder).

Studietijd
Couture, die in 1847 naam had gemaakt met het gigantische doek Les Romains de la décadence, hield zich afzijdig van de officiële, competitiegerichte kunstacademies, de Écoles. Hij vond dat deze zich te veel op details richtten en probeerde zijn studenten het belang van spontaniteit en frisheid bij te brengen. Ook meende hij dat kunstenaars eenzame genieën waren, een romantisch idee dat veel jongeren aansprak. Niettemin had Manet, die toch zes jaar zijn leerling bleef, vaak aanvaringen met hem. Hoewel Manet het ook vakinhoudelijk dikwijls met Coutures lessen oneens was, heeft Couture toch veel invloed op hem gehad. Dit zou vooral gelden voor Manets Spaans georiënteerde werk (zie later). Naast de lessen van Couture bezocht Manet in Parijs de Académie Suisse.

In 1849 begon Manet een verhouding met de Nederlandse Suzanne Leenhoff, toentertijd de pianolerares van zijn broers. In 1853 werd haar onwettige zoon Léon geboren, die daarna doorging voor haar jongere broer. Omdat Manet door zijn syfilis (zie onder) waarschijnlijk onvruchtbaar was, was hij vermoedelijk niet de biologische vader; mogelijk was Manets vader dat. Op 28 oktober 1863 trouwden Manet en Suzanne in Zaltbommel. Uit het huwelijk werden geen kinderen geboren. Manet heeft Suzanne en Léon enige malen geschilderd.

Manets carrière

Na zijn tijd bij Couture bood Manet zijn schilderij De absintdrinker uit 1859 aan aan de Salon, de belangrijke jaarlijkse kunsttentoonstelling. In die tijd waren er nauwelijks andere gelegenheden voor schilders om hun werk aan het publiek te tonen. De jury van de Salon weigerde het doek, ten eerste omdat het een dronken man toonde en ten tweede omdat delen ervan een onaffe en vage indruk maakten. Ook Couture vond het slecht.

Het doek toont al wat Manets voornaamste onderwerp zou zijn: het moderne Parijse leven. Manet was een flâneur, die vaak de trendy cafés frequenteerde, altijd keurig gekleed (er zijn overigens aanwijzingen dat onder dat joviale uiterlijk een erg neurotische man schuilging, iets wat sommigen ook in zijn werk menen terug te zien). Dit heeft sterk te maken met het concept van "het heldendom van het moderne leven" van de dichter Baudelaire, een goede vriend van Manet. In 1862 maakte Manet het doek Muziek in de Tuilerieën, dat een grote groep rijke mensen toont in dit Parijse park, onder wie Manet zelf en vrienden en familieleden. Net als bij De absintdrinker zijn bepaalde stukken scherp en andere, ook op de voorgrond, onscherp, en critici waren dan ook weer furieus.

In de jaren 1860 maakte Manet veel werk met Spaanse thema's. Al in de jaren 1840 waren Spaanse schilderijen in de mode in Parijs; Manet moet deze in het Louvre gezien hebben. Zijn werk De Spaanse zanger uit 1860 was zijn eerste succes in de Salon. In 1864 exposeerde hij er Episode d'un Course de Taureaux (Incident tijdens een stierengevecht). Na zijn bezoek aan Madrid in 1865 werd hij vooral beïnvloed door Diego Velázquez. In navolging van de Spaanse meester maakte Manet een serie schilderijen van "bedelaar-filosofen", die hij in 1867 exposeerde tijdens de Wereldtentoonstelling. Omdat zijn werk daar afgewezen werd, deed hij dit in een eigen paviljoen, net als Courbet. Manet werd ook beïnvloed door de Japanse kunst, die in die tijd voor het eerst populair werd in Frankrijk.

In 1863 was er zoveel protest over het oordeel van de jury van de Salon dat keizer Napoleon III een speciale, gelijktijdige tentoonstelling van de geweigerde werken verordonneerde, de beroemde Salon des Refusés. Manet toonde er drie werken, waarvan het bekendste Déjeuner sur l'Herbe is (Lunch op het gras). Het toont een picknick van twee eigentijds geklede mannen (een broer van Manet en zijn zwager Ferdinand Leenhoff) en een naakte en een halfnaakte vrouw. De stand van de drie figuren op de voorgrond is een overduidelijke verwijzing naar Het Oordeel van Parijs van Rafaël, dat Manet kende in een kopie van de kopergraveur Marcantonio Raimondi en de reproducties uit Charles Blanc's Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles, maar het is ook geïnspireerd door Pastoraal Concert van Titiaan. Critici waren er furieus over; zij vonden dat Manets "picknick" deze Renaissance-werken ontheiligde door ze te "citeren" in een moderne context, waarbij gewone, moderne mensen de plaats innamen van goden en nimfen. In tegenstelling tot wat bij die oudere doeken het geval was, was het voor toeschouwers onduidelijk waarom de vrouwen naakt waren.

In 1865 durfde de jury van de Salon niet te veel werken te weigeren, zodat ook Manets Olympia geaccepteerd werd, een naakt geïnspireerd op Titiaans Venus van Urbino. De kritiek leek op die op Déjeuner: in Manets versie was het te duidelijk dat de naakte vrouw in kwestie een prostituee voorstelde. Een ander punt was dat het model, hetzelfde als in Déjeuner, bekend was in Parijs. Victorine Meurent, die overigens zelf ook schilderde, was Manets favoriete model. De schrijver Zola verdedigde Manets werk en werd als dank door hem rond 1867 geportretteerd. In 1873 maakte Manet het schilderij Le Bon Bock ("Het goede glas bier"), dat een gezette, pijprokende, bierdrinkende man toont en duidelijk geïnspireerd is door het werk van Frans Hals. Dit viel zeer in de smaak, zelfs bij de meest conservatieve critici.

Manet had weinig op met historische onderwerpen, maar hij maakte wel schilderijen over politieke gebeurtenissen in zijn eigen tijd, bijvoorbeeld die in Mexico in de jaren 1861-1867. Tijdens de oorlog van 1870, tussen Frankrijk en Pruisen, was Manet lid van de Franse Nationale Garde, met de opdracht Parijs te verdedigen, maar hij is nooit direct betrokken geweest bij een gevecht. Aansluitend, in 1871, was hij betrokken bij de Parijse Commune. Hij was lid van een commissie van kunstenaars in de Commune, waarvan Courbet voorzitter was. Na de afslachting door het Franse leger van minstens 20.000 communards heeft Manet daarvan tekeningen gemaakt.

De impressionisten
Manet wordt vaak beschouwd als impressionist, maar daar is zeker in de periode tot 1874 veel op af te dingen. Hoewel zijn thema's vaak controversieel waren, hield hij lang vast aan een traditioneel-realistische stijlopvatting en een geheel eigen werkwijze. Zo werkte hij bijvoorbeeld vooral in zijn atelier, weinig en plein air (in de openlucht). Ook was zijn kleurenpalet, zeker in het begin van zijn carrière, minder helder en gebruikte hij veel zwart. Hoewel Manet niet als leider van de impressionisten gezien wilde worden, bleven de jonge avant-gardisten toch tegen hem opkijken. Zij zagen in hem een aanvoerder in de strijd tegen de vastgeroeste Écoles, en vonden dan ook bijvoorbeeld dat hij met Le Bon Bock te veel concessies deed.

In 1874 vond de eerste impressionistische tentoonstelling plaats, maar Manet nam de uitnodiging die hij had gekregen niet aan. Niettemin zou hij de impressionisten nooit verloochenen, integendeel: geleidelijk vond er steeds meer toenadering plaats. In 1874 bracht hij zelfs samen met Renoir en Monet schilderend de zomer door in Gennevilliers en Argenteuil, buitenboorden aan de Seine, nabij Parijs. In die periode zou Manet meer dan ooit tevoren teken geven van zijn ontvankelijkheid voor de principes van het impressionisme. Hij kiest voor een licht palet en heldere kleuren en schildert voor het eerst ook veelvuldig in de buitenlucht. Ook werd zijn toets losser en zijn werkwijze vluchtiger, waar hij eerder van zijn modellen altijd verlangde dat ze langdurig voor hem poseerden.

Over de toen nog onbekende Monet zou Manet in 1865 gezegd hebben: "Wie is die Monet, wiens naam zo lijkt op de mijne en die zo profiteert van mijn beruchtheid?" In de zomer van 1874 waren ze beste vrienden en maakte Manet een schilderij van Monet terwijl deze aan het werk is op zijn "atelierboot" op de Seine bij Argenteuil. In dezelfde zomer maakte hij ook een schilderij van Monets vrouw Camille en hun zoon Jean bij de Seine. Beide werken zijn onmiskenbaar impressionistisch. De techniek van het weergeven van water heeft Manet duidelijk van Monet overgenomen.

In 1868-1869 schilderde Manet Le Balcon, dat naar een werk van Goya uit 1812 verwijst. Een van de figuren is Berthe Morisot, een jonge schilderes die hij kort daarvoor in het Louvre ontmoet had. Vermoedelijk hebben ze geen intieme relatie met elkaar gehad, maar ze waren wel erg op elkaar gesteld. In 1874 trouwde Morisot met Manets jongere broer Eugène. Morisot hoorde bij de impressionisten en zou enige invloed op Manets werk hebben gehad.

Manets laatste jaren

Tijdens de Salon van 1881 kreeg Manet een medaille, de Légion d'Honneur, de erkenning die hij altijd al gewild had. In 1882 maakte hij het doek Een bar in de Folies-Bergère, dat geldt als zijn laatste meesterwerk.

Manet stierf aan de ziekte locomotorische ataxie, die het centraal zenuwstelsel aantast en verlamming veroorzaakt. De oorzaak was syfilis, die Manet mogelijk al in 1848 had opgelopen. Het laatste half jaar van zijn leven had Manet bijna voortdurend pijn.

Vlak voor zijn dood in 1883 kreeg hij ook nog koudvuur in zijn been, dat afgezet moest worden. Antonin Proust sprak op de begrafenis en Monet en Zola droegen de kist. Verder waren onder meer Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Renoir en Eugène Boudin aanwezig. Hij werd begraven op het Cimetière de Passy in Parijs.

 Stillevens
Manet heeft gedurende zijn carrière vele stillevens geschilderd. Hij was het dan ook niet eens met de gevestigde orde van de Écoles, die stillevens in de laagste categorie plaatste. Ondanks hun grote kwaliteit hebben deze doeken echter nooit zo veel aandacht gekregen als zijn meer controversiële werk. Bekende voorbeelden zijn Stilleven met karper uit 1864 en Een bundel asperges uit 1880.

Tevens schilderde Manet minstens zeven keer pioenrozen, die tot zijn favoriete bloemensoorten hoorden en die hij zelf ook kweekte. In andersoortig werk, bijvoorbeeld in Déjeuner, gebruikte Manet vaak stillevenobjecten om te benadrukken dat een scène in zijn eigen tijd gesitueerd was.

 Latere bewerkingen van schilderijen
Manet bewerkte soms schilderijen die hij jaren eerder had gemaakt. In 1867 voegde hij bijvoorbeeld 40 cm doek toe aan De Absintdrinker uit 1859 en in 1873 voegde hij Léon toe aan een schilderij uit 1865. Daarnaast ontleende hij zijn inspiratie soms ook tamelijk direct aan werk van anderen: zijn bekende Le dejeuner-sur-l'herbe is een bijna directe kopie van een detail op Marcantonio Raimondi's Oordeel van Paris''.

Schilderstijl
Manet hoorde niet bij een bepaalde stroming of beweging. Zijn werken worden ingedeeld bij het realisme en het impressionisme.

Leerlingen
Manet heeft maar één leerling gehad, Eva Gonzalès.

Q: How to open folder and place text files in dataframe and rename dataframe based on file name? I am trying to open a folder which has multiple text files and put each file in its own dataframe and name each dataframe by the filename.
My code so far is recognizing the 5 files in the folder but is not putting the data in the files into dataframes based on their file names. could someone show me how to do this?
code:
    import os
    import pandas as pd
    import pypyodbc
loc = 'D:/filepath to folder with files'
os.chdir(loc)
filelist = os.listdir()
#print (len((pd.concat([pd.read_csv(item, names=[item[:-4]]) for item in filelist],axis=1))))

data = []
path = loc
files = [f for f in os.listdir(path) if os.path.isfile(f)]
for f in files:
    with open(f,'r') as myfile:
        data.append(myfile.read())

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print (df.shape)

thank you in advance
-edit-
How the data in the files looks:
0010010000013   1   CITY OF HOUSTON     1.000
0010020000001   1   CURRENT OWNER       1.000

0010030000001   1   BUFFALO BAYOU PARTNERSHIP       1.000

-edit-
Final answer
dfs = {os.path.basename(f): pd.read_csv(f, sep='\t', header=None,encoding='cp037',error_bad_lines=False) for f in glob.glob('D:/TX/Houston_County/Real_acct_owner/*.txt')}

A: Something like this should create a dict where each key (= filename) holds the dataframe with the respective file's contents.
filedfs = {}
for f in files: filedfs[f] = pd.read_csv(os.path.join(loc, f))

Or, as a one-liner as proposed by @MaxU:
dfs = {os.path.basename(f): pd.read_csv(f, delim_whitespace=True, header=None) for f in glob.glob('c:/data/*.csv')}

A: input:
0010010000013,1,CITY OF HOUSTON,1.000
0010020000001,1,CURRENT OWNER,1.000

code:
import os
import pandas

loc = 'folder/'

list_of_df = []

for f in os.listdir(loc):
    if f.endswith(".txt"):

        df = pandas.read_csv(loc+f, sep = ',', names = ['number', 'count', 'buyer', 'status'])
        list_of_df.append(df)

for df in list_of_df:
    print df
    print '--'

Airlife employee accused of DUI while heading to …
Jokic won't play for short-handed Nuggets at Milwaukee
Sheriff: Students used at least 2 handguns in Highlands Ranch school shooting
by: Chuck Hickey

Updated: May 8, 2019 / 10:47 AM MDT
HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — The two students accused of killing a classmate and wounding eight others in a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch used at least two handguns in the attack on Tuesday afternoon, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said Wednesday.
At an early-morning news conference, Spurlock said the suspects, an 18-year-old man and a juvenile female, had a "number of weapons" in the shooting.
He said the suspects were not old enough to buy or own the handguns. The 18-year-old is expected to appear in a Douglas County courtroom on Wednesday afternoon.
On Tuesday, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said the juvenile arrested was a male, but the suspect is actually a girl. Her name and age were not released.
Spurlock said her identity wasn't apparent to deputies until she was brought into custody.
"This does not define us. It won't today and it won't tomorrow," 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler said, saying the latest shooting was an "aberrant" act.
"Our hearts are hurting for them," Gov. Jared Polis said.
The suspects walked into the school and opened fire on students in two classrooms, Spurlock said.
The Douglas County Coroner's Office identified the student who died as 18-year-old Kendrick Ray Castillo, a senior at the school who was scheduled to graduate later this month.
Brendan Bialy, a senior who plans to join the Marines after graduation, helped in subduing one of the shooters, the U.S. Marines Corps said Wednesday.
Spurlock said "we're going to hear about very heroic things that have taken place at the school."
Deputies at a nearby sheriff's office substation got to the school within minutes of gunfire erupting. The suspects were detained without deputies exchanging gunfire.
One of the suspects was detained by the school's security guard, Spurlock said.
Of the eight students who were wounded, five have been released from hospitals.
At Littleton Adventist Hospital, one patient is in serious condition, another is in fair condition and three were discharged Tuesday.
Two patients were taken to Sky Ridge Medical Center. One was released Tuesday and the other is in stable condition.
One patient was taken to Children's Hospital Colorado and has been released.
Spurlock said the school will continue to be an active crime scene and the investigation is expected to take another two days. The school will be closed through at least Friday.
The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting with the investigation. Officials are trying to determine how the suspects were able to obtain the handguns used in the shooting.
"Our hearts are hurting," Spurlock said. "I ask the community to come together as we always do in Douglas County, to be strong and pray for the family of the child that was lost and the other eight that are injured and still suffering."

I try to keep on top of wine trends but am three years late in discovering The Sampler. On Monday night I finally made the pilgrimage to the North London store. Armed with a loaded card, I admired the 80 wines on display in the Enomatics like paintings in a gallery, not quite sure where to begin. Miraculously, I managed to make my £10 stretch to 11 wines, the Barolo being one of only two wines I paid over a pound for. It was worth the extra pennies. The Fontanafredda estate used to be the hunting lodge of King Emmanuel II, and was also home to his mistress Bella Rosa Rosin. The blood red wine from this superb vintage had a clear-cut, intense nose of withered roses and underbrush with overtones of vanilla and spice. Dry but soft, the palate was haunting – full bodied, silky and well balanced, it was complex and lengthy with alluring spices, smoke and crushed rose petal aromas. Grippy and spicy on the palate with lingering sour cherries, it could only have been Italian – it could only have been Barolo. I'm already planning a second visit to The Sampler to catch a glimpse of Ivy the shop dog and taste some of the intoxicating 09s.
Sometimes, with all the weighty, intense topics that occupy our minds, it's nice to get away from it all and just drink wine. After a week of tasting the beguiling Bordeaux 2009s, my palate was crying out for something light, simple and undemanding. This Washington Riesling was the perfect answer. A shy nose, hints of cherry blossom and apple; charming, apple-zest fruit, a touch of lifted sweetness, totally unintrusive alcohol, tight and linear. Not the most complex of wines, but supremely drinkable – the bottle had gone almost before we'd noticed.
It was sitting down this week to write-up our Argentinean Malbec panel tasting [NB: make sure to buy the June issue, it's a really interesting tasting] that inspired me to get this out. Strictly speaking it's a Malbec / Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot / Syrah blend, but I'm sure cepage police wouldn't berate me too much for describing it as demonstrating everything that's good about young Malbec. Voluptuous and giving, with fragrance and finesse, the fruit is intense and powerful, but backed up by tannins that remind you it's been made by one of the best in the business. Coming back from a week of tasting young Rolland-touched wines in Bordeaux, I have to confess a secret enjoyment of the style. I've tasted a few vintages of this now, and I'm always confident about how well it's going to deliver which, far from being boring, speaks volumes about the consistency in blending and, dare I say it, quality of the Mendoza terroir. My only hope is that some older vintages start to become available soon – I'd be fascinated to see how it ages.
Accompanying Lucy on her trip to The Sampler (see above), I also managed to taste 11 wines for my £10 – and a 25ml serve of this natural wine was just 75p. That pittance, the bottle's quirky clown label, and the sheer moreishness of its contents put a real smile on my face. It's a biodynamic wine – also unfined, unfiltered and unsulphured – from Christian Chaussard and Nathalie Gaubisher, made of 90% Pineau d'Aunis (also known as Chenin Noir) with 10% Cot (the Loire name for Malbec). The result, which would be perfect slightly chilled this summer, is bit like a Beaujolais but with bells on: a bright, juicy fruit bomb of spicy cranberry, ripe redcurrant and some garrigue herbs, with soft tannins, fresh acidity and a peppery finish. Not at all complex, but even so still has a terroir-driven wow factor. Just 12.5% alcohol, it would be delicious with charcuterie, Asian food – or on its own. You'll want more than 25mls.

An Extraordinary Group Of Women In Tech Announce Plans To Grow The Next Generation Of Female CIOs
A little less than 20% of chief information officers in the United States are women. That roughly mirrors the percentage of women enrolled in engineering programs at universities in the U.S. Although progress has been made in the roughly 40 years since the inception of the CIO role, more needs to be done to create pathways for women to grow careers in technology.
One of the organizations that has done a remarkable job in mentoring women and working behind the scenes to help women land CIO, chief technology officer, and chief digital officer posts is T200. The group was founded by roughly ten women in 2017, and in less than four years, has grown to roughly 160 members. As founding member, Suja Chandrasekaran, currently the Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Information and Digital Officer of CommonSpirit, noted, "We go past peripheral connections. Since our inception, we connect with depth, diversity and strength."
Chandrasekaran spoke at a T200 event today to mark International Women's Day and to announce a new program called the Lift Platform which sets bold goals to foster new opportunities for the next generation of women leaders in the technology and digital realm.
The Lift Platform is designed for women in technology and digital roles who report directly to CXOs. They will be vetted for fit with T200's principles, and they will represent diversity of industry as well as race, creed, sexual orientation, geography, and more.
The Lift Platform drives networking, mentorship and sponsorship. Mamatha Chamarthi, the CIO of Stellantis, said, "We want to elevate the next generation [of women leaders]. We will identify leaders who have a willingness to contribute and give back; a willingness to volunteer to uplift other women."
Pizza Hut CIO Helen Vaid went further in saying, "Half of the world is women. Therefore, half of the resumes we see should be from women."
The group listed the following goals in the materials shared in the kick-off event this morning:
Help mentees identify and achieve career development and personal growth goals in digital and technology
Create a bench of women digital and technology leaders who have potential, knowledge and skills to be the next gen C-level leaders
Foster high-level of engagement to build the mentees' career vision
Equip mentees with resources necessary to perform their best in current and future roles and broker connection with a broader network
Build a shared responsibility to T200 community for a culture of coaching and development
Create visibility of high potential women in leadership in digital and technology
12 initial members of the Lift Mentorship program have been identified, though their names were not shared at the kick-off event. 16 mentors have been assigned, as well. They include the CIOs, CDOs and/or CTOs of American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Align Technology, Citrix, Zoetis and Clark Hill Law, along with Chandrasekaran, Chamarthi and Vaid, among others.
T200 leaders hope to drive outcomes to include supporting women to thrive in their existing roles, while driving explicit growth and professional learning goals for the mentees, creating visibility for the next generation of leaders for additional opportunities and to progressively improve outcomes each year.
T200 leaders have set the objective to have five mentees become CIOs in 2021. The longer-term objective is to be a driving force for women in technology to grow to parity globally across all industries. Ambitious women who strive to follow in the footsteps of the 160 extraordinary women who currently make up the T200 should take note that there is a clearer path for them to follow!

Over the years of writing and teaching, I have tried to free myself of constraints I felt, limits to the range of exploration I could make, to the kind of intuition I could credit. I realized gradually that my own religion, and religion in general, could and should disrupt these constraints, which amount to a small and narrow definition of what human beings are and how human life is to be understood. And I have often wished my students would find religious standards present in the culture that would express a real love for human life and encourage them also to break out of these same constraints.

Q: Display procedurally generated object in the editor I'm working on a project where I'm procedurally assembling a world out of the blocks based on the OpenSimplexNoise object. It is done by adding the child nodes inside the _ready function. It works well and generated level is playable, but I would like to preview it without lunching a game. Is it somehow possible to do so?

A: You can run code in the Godot editor by making tool scripts.
Simply add the tool keyword at the start of a script so it is allowed to run on the editor.

However, you probably don't want every function or every part of the code to run on the editor. You can detect if your code is running on the editor by checking Engine.editor_hint.
So you can add this code at the start of a func:
    if Engine.editor_hint:
        return

Which prevents the rest of the func from running on the editor.
Or do the opposite:
    if not Engine.editor_hint:
        return

Which prevents the rest of the func from running outside of the editor.

You also need to be aware that the changes the code makes to the scene… Are changes made to the scene. This includes adding nodes and changed properties.
For the added nodes you are likely to not need any special care, since usually you would not be setting the owner of the nodes, and thus those nodes would not persist with the scene.
Yet, you need to be careful with properties. If you were making and addon you could add entry to the undo history.

I presume you will want code to run when your OpenSimplexNoise changes. All Resource types, such as OpenSimplexNoise have a "changed" signal that you can connect to, and will notify when it changes. For people making a custom resource type, know that you need to emit the signal manually form your code.
And, I presume, you would only want to do that in the editor. And you are going to need to handle removing the old nodes and adding new ones, or have a way for them to be reconstructed for the new noise.
You can start by moving the logic out of _ready to another func. Then have _ready call that func, only when the code is not running in the editor. Then you can connect the "changed" signal to that new func, so it runs every time it changes. Which also means it should start with the cleanup code.

By the way, what I described here is also the foundation for making addons. So I'll encourage you to look into that. For example it is possible to extend the UI of the editor.


Oh? You have an opinion? You do realize that having an opinion doesn't set you apart from anybody else, right? You know that everybody has one, right?
Oh, okay, yours is different. Yours is right.
Wait, uh, wait a minute.
May I ask you a small question? Just a simple questions, really, just a little insight for me own personal edification?
WHAT THE CAST-IRON, FLYING BLUE FUDGE SUCKING BITTERSWEET BLAZES MAKES YOUR OPINION ANY DIFFERENT FROM MINE?!?
The other day a mutual friend of ours apologized to me because of the comments that you made. It was on her dime, it was her thread and you interjected your own criticism, condemning a whole group of people for simply having the audacity to have their own opinion that was (GASP!) not yours! How dare they? Don't they know that YOURS is the official, one-and-only opinion allowed?
I declined to let her even think that she had any reason to apologize. I refused to let her take responsibility for the vitriol that you vented. She is much to nice of a lady to saddle with that responsibility. And you, coward that you are, should have never put a lady in that position. If you want to vacate your spleen, do it on your own time. Own up to it. Stop hiding behind someone else.
I do have one other question: What exactly does make you think that yours is the RIGHT opinion? What exactly sets you apart and grants to you the insight and wisdom to so blatantly and rudely impart your precious pearls upon the world?
Is it geography? Does that fact that you live where you do give you this authority? Is the state in which you reside the ONLY state that is allowed to hold value of opinion? Is it something in the water? Is it the lower altitude that grants you an oxygen-rich environment so you think more clearly than the rest of the world?
Or is it that you have a captive audience with low cost since you manage to post on social networking sites? Since you don't have to invest the cost of a stamp, let alone the time to write a letter, place it in an envelope and mail it to the editor of the paper; has technology and the fact that any 11 year old with an Internet connection who can type can post their glowing words of praise or degenerate and perverse vituperation bestowed supreme opinion status on your glowing and golden brow?
Save your castigation and condemnation of me just because my opinion is not yours. I am every bit as educated as are you. You have your values and standards as do I. However, just because my social mores and the values I have are not those you would embrace, don't you dare for one instant believe that yours have any greater value than mine.
I don't expect you to agree with me, I rather expect that you will NOT agree with me on many items. But I refuse, as a matter of fact I demand that you will respect my opinion for the value that it has, regardless of whether it has any semblance of your opinion. I didn't assault your values and your opinion, neither did I denigrate your worth as a person, as a human being, just because your values are not mine. Neither are you allowed to do that to me.
You, no question or doubt, owe Patricia an apology.
Wow!! I hope you let her know that you were this upset with her comments?
It's not often that I really lash out, but I've been known to. This time I thought I'd be more general about it in my post as it was directed at a group of people rather than just one person.

Penn State Behrend to host Philonise Floyd, brother of George Floyd, as part of MLK Day celebrations
Baylee DeMuth
Erie Times-News
Penn State Behrend is marking Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday with a special guest.
The Office of Educational Equity and Diversity Programs will host a conversation with Philonise Floyd, who will discuss the legacy of his brother, George Floyd, who was killed by police during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In Minneapolis, Minn.:George Floyd's death sparks violence across the country
The conversation will be held in McGarvey Commons, Reed Union Building, 4701 College Drive in Harborcreek Township at noon.
Philonise Floyd will participate in a moderated Q&A with the presidents of the Association of Black Collegians, the Multi-Cultural Council and the Student Government Association.
"We are always interested in making our programs student-centered, so the conversation will be moderated by three students," said Andy Herrera, director of the Office of Educational Equity and Diversity Programs.
For Herrera, who put together the public program, bringing Philonise Floyd to campus is an opportunity to go beyond the classroom to help educate the campus community.
"I thought it was a tremendous opportunity because of the name recognition and what happened with George Floyd and afterward, so I thought students would be interested in hearing (Philonise Floyd's) story," Herrera said.
On the 1-year anniversary:Protesters gather for peaceful rally in downtown Erie
While the conversation with Philonise Floyd will center around his brother's murder and the aftermath, the discussion will also touch on the Floyd brothers' childhood, Herrera said.
Herrera also believes commentary from Philonise Floyd comes at a good time.
"It's a great time to pause and revisit the civil rights movement because there's value in the historic learning opportunities in the movement," he said. "And then the value of the message itself, pausing and reflecting on Dr. King's ideals about equality and justice, race relations.
"With that in mind, we always try to engage in a conversation with someone who can help us with that."
Herrera expects a modest crowd, both students and the public, to turn out and hear from Philonise Floyd and his fight as a social justice activist.
"We're always so grateful and happy we can bring somebody that has national attention to Behrend," he said. "It's a great opportunity for us ... for people to know we're really making an effort to be relevant and make an impact on our community and bring people to our campus."

What: Conversation with Philonise Floyd
When: Monday, Jan. 17, at noon
Where: McGarvey Commons, Reed Union Building, 4701 College Drive, Harborcreek Township

SeafarerHelp is here for the wellbeing of seafarers
© Chan Min Thet
On 25 June it was Day of the Seafarer, and this year's theme was 'Seafarers' Wellbeing'. If a seafarer is feeling low or stressed or needs someone to talk to, SeafarerHelp is available day and night, all year round. Our team can provide a listening ear and emotional support, and help seafarers with their wellbeing at sea.
A seafarer e-mailed SeafarerHelp while he was at sea, wanting to talk confidentially with someone. He had been having relationship problems and was getting a divorce in a country where it was illegal. He said he had suffered emotional abuse from his wife for two years and although he was the one who had suggested the divorce, he was now feeling empty. He had lost his appetite and was only eating because he knew he needed to.
The seafarer was due to be on board for another five months and he was hiding how he felt from his crewmates. He said his parents were both dead and he was not close with his siblings back home. His wife would be keeping their apartment so he was also worried that he would have nowhere to go when he finished his contract.
Our SeafarerHelp team is trained in providing emotional support. They listened to the seafarer's problems and helped him through a difficult time by suggesting ways to cope with the situation and generally giving a friendly non-judgemental ear. They suggested that he could try sharing his feelings with a crewmate, and asked what activities he enjoyed that could help him feel better while he was still on board. The team also provided links to ISWAN's Good Mental Health Guides for Seafarers and other seafarers' health resources available on the SeafarerHelp website, which could help him manage his emotions and take care of his mental wellbeing.
The seafarer contacted SeafarerHelp six times over the space of two months. He later contacted the team to thank them for the time they had spent helping and supporting him. He had started a new hobby, creative writing, and was now looking for a place to stay when he finished his contract.
Our Good Mental Health Guides for Seafarers, wellbeing infographics and audio relaxation exercise can be downloaded for free on the SeafarerHelp website. Visit www.seafarerhelp.org/health-well-being.
If you are a seafarer and need someone to talk to, you can contact SeafarerHelp at any time. Visit www.seafarerhelp.org for all the contact details you need. The helpline is free and confidential, and our team speaks a number of different languages.

Q: Simple Linux Benchmarking Test to Perform Throughout Install I have a script that installs a lot of software. For debugging purposes I am looking for a way of simply benchmarking my system after each install to see which piece of software cripples my server.
NPM installs are Godly slow.

A: I think it would be a better strategy to find the service or process that is causing the problem. But to answer your question as asked you could put something like this after each install in your script.
top -n 10 -b > top-outputAfterXinstall.txt

Replace X with the name of the software you just installed. This will give you a good idea of how the installs are impacting your memory and cpu performance, as well as which process are causing problems.


Hello. This topic is very poorly disclosed on the Web because it is of interest only in narrow circles. To fill this gap a little, this place seems to me the most suitable.
The CORBA AlarmIRP interface is present in all control systems of equipment manufacturers that I have encountered, as prescribed by the 3GPP 3G TS ???-2 standard. Consider the example of OSS-RC Ericsson, in whose documentation the process is somehow described. For NetAct Nokia and M-2000 Huawei the code will be approximately the same, with differences in the nuances of implementing one standard. I will try to describe as completely as possible the process of creating an application for reading the list of alarms, but since I have never written anything in Java before and have not worked with CORBA, I will allow some details to be left outside the scope of this article.
To be precise, the method above will return to us not the IOR, but a reference to the NameService (terminology CORBA), which we could get from the IOR file on the web server. If it's easier: we'll use the result to initialize the connection.
in AlarmInformationSeq. IRPAgent needs to use iter to retrieve them.
What in the end: in addition to the "fan" I have not yet used other applications. In the future there is NotificationIRP - Receiving events immediately after their appearance, BulkCmIRP - configuration from an external system, etc. The technology is similar, but if necessary, you can write a separate article. On this topic, perhaps, everything. I can answer the questions in the comments. Thank you!

XCOM 2 launch day mods from long war team revealed
Firaxis recently announced that it had partnered with the creators of an acclaimed mod for XCOM: Enemy Within to offer mods right at the launch of XCOM 2. During a PAX South panel this weekend, we got out first look at what those mods are.
The first of these mods is one adding submachine guns–or at least an XCOM-style version of submachine guns that fill their role. They are used by soldiers who can equip assault rifles and present a tradeoff, not unlike what's seen in the modder's Enemy Within mod, The Long War. They provide a mobility bonus and make it more difficult for you to be detected.
Next is a mod adding new enemies, such as a larger Muton with perks that support nearby aliens. These enemies will also behave in their own unique ways in order to take advantage of their abilities.

The third launch mod introduces a new development path for soldiers. It's described as a "leader mod" and is said to be similar to the officer mod seen in The Long War. It allows you to train high-rank soldiers with new abilities that help the team, such as one that gives a mobility bonus for one turn to nearby allies.
The way this works is compared to how Psionic classes functioned in Enemy Within, where there is an additional set of choices on top of a soldier's base class. There are, of course, some tradeoffs; not only will it take time and money to build these leaders up, but only one can be deployed on a mission at a time except in "some very special circumstances."
These mods were designed to work independently of each other and slot right into the base game's campaign without upsetting its balance. They'll be available for free from the Steam Workshop on XCOM 2's launch day, February 5.
If you're more interested in content coming straight from Firaxis, several DLC Packs have been announced and will be released over the course of the year.

Americans really love their caffeine. In fact, 80 percent of U.S. adults consume the stimulant on a daily basis, which makes it easy to forget that it's also a psychoactive drug.
Most of us understand how a cup of coffee will affect us, but energy drinks are still relatively new and largely misunderstood. These neon-colored drinks target a younger demographic, promising to "give you wings" or even promoting extreme sports on their websites. This helps explain why these products may seem suitable for augmenting physical fitness. They are not. The diuretic effect of these drinks can deplete the body of water, leading to dehydration.
It doesn't help that canned energy drinks are void of any health warnings. In addition to caffeine, many of them contain plant and herbal extracts, so they can legally label themselves as dietary supplements rather than food. This means they are not regulated or evaluated by the FDA.
LifeWave's Theta Fuel drink supplement* is an ideal alternative to the potentially harmful energy drinks on the market. It contains absolutely no caffeine, and uses beneficial nutrients such as niacin to contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

I used it for VFR 400 Oil, Element, Clutch exchange. Of course, at the time of replacing the Element of Oil, Vinyl inside is hooked to the outer box, so there is no question of leakage to the outside, Oil leaking when removing the Clutch cover is also Large grinding thanks to this, I'm satisfied. Although I used it before, I will notice the convenience once again by using Clutch at the time of replacement.


Iconic Russian sidecar manufacturer Ural has decided that what its classic retro outfits need is more technology in the form of a built-in drone launch platform. The Ural Air comes with its own DJI Spark, with a carry case and launch platform built right into the sidecar.
Some people (mainly psychopaths, I'm led to believe) are into sidecars. A larger number of folk are into drones. I know exactly one guy who's into both drones and sidecars, but Ural must have some data indicating there's at least 40 such types in the world that will be willing to fork out US$17,999 for a sidecar custom built with drone pilots in mind.
The Ural Air is a modified version of the company's Gear Up outfit, a 749cc flat twin-powered sidecar making 41 hp with an on-demand two-wheel-drive system that sends power to the sidecar wheel when requested to give it some additional off-road capability. While it now sports modern accoutrements like fuel injection and disc brakes all round, it's still a WW2-era Soviet re-engineering of a 1930s BMW design at heart. Ural has arguably been a retro brand for almost its entire existence.
In service of its drone-enabling ambitions, the Air's sidecar is equipped with a button-operated, waterproofed hatch built by Stratasys, beneath which rests a DJI Spark in a small case that allows it to remain fully set up and ready for action. A USB port is provided specifically for charging the drone, which can launch straight out of its case, and when the hatch is closed it doubles as a landing pad for skilled pilots that don't mind the whirring of prop blades close to their faces.
The remote can be placed in a custom-tailored RAM mount and clamped to a convenient point where either the passenger or the rider can fly the drone while seated. And in addition to the standard spare wheel, fog lights, jerry can, utility shovel and tool kit, Ural also provides a telescopic selfie stick, to which a windsock can be fitted should a pilot be incapable of licking a finger and holding it up in the air.
We would advise pilots not to leave the windsock up while attempting to ride the motorcycle, as the parachute effect it creates may overpower the stock Ural engine and impede progress.
Only 40 will be built, at a US$1,500 premium to the price of the standard Gear Up. That's not bad for what you're getting, actually, and they'll hit showrooms in November. Pre-orders are available now.
