You might be suffering from severe allergies due to the changing seasons and the excessive amounts of pollen in the air. Thankfully, Fexofenadine HCl is now available over-the-counter for purchase online or in store whenever you want. This also means that you don't need to take a trip to the doctor to get some if you want it.
Where is the Cheapest Place to Buy OTC Fexofenadine Online?
I enjoy this antihistamine medication myself and I take it when my allergy symptoms are severe during the spring, summer, and fall allergy seasons. When Fexofenadine was released to the public available over-the-counter without a prescription, I was ecstatic because the price was lower than what it would be if I were to get it from the doctor.
Click here for up to 50% off, which is the cheapest I could find. It's 35 cents per tablet, so forget about buying it in stores or using another generic brand. Be sure to click the 70-count option.
I prefer Allegra OTC over many other allergy medicines like levocetirizine OTC and diphenhydramine, so I have searched through the internet to try and find the most reasonable price. Personally, I am not the type of person that prefers to buy in bulk so I'd rather not buy $100 dollars worth of this drug because the thought of consuming all these pills eventually in the future kind of turns me off.
However, if I need a new pack of one or two, then I check for the best sale value on the internet because you can find it for really cheap on some sites. Believe it or not, you can get Fexofenadine on Amazon for extremely cheap and that's where I usually order it.
Compared to the prices in local stores in my area, it comes out to be 40-50% cheaper online with this link.
Make sure that you check the "70 count" option because that's where the deal is right now. When you do that, you get each tablet for 36 cents, which is very inexpensive compared to everything else.
It doesn't really make a lot of sense choosing any other size because if you get double the quantity, which is 140 count tablets, then the price is doubled for 63 cents per tablet. This sometimes happens with stores like Amazon and I am not sure why, but be sure to select the size that is actually on sale if you want it to be really cheap.
If you want to get 140 count tablets, just buy two of the 70 count packs and it will be 45% cheaper.
The efficiency of Fexofenadine HCl has proven to be twice as effective as the placebo. Therefore, it actually works for allergies.
Would Generic Fexofenadine HCl Brands be Cheaper?
There are some other sketchy brands of Fexofenadine HCl on the internet, but they aren't the Allegra brand. I know it sounds really disingenuous, but this 45% off Allegra deal on Amazon is a better deal in the long run because their patented ingredients are most likely to be the best quality with fewest risks for side effects. And when you do your research into Fexofenadine generic brand prices, you'll find that its about the same or more expensive than the deal you get with this Amazon page.
It's always a little bit better to go with the original patented brand of a medicine because their ingredients will be the best quality. When other companies want to sell it as well, they will need to tweak their ingredients to work around the patent that exists. This means that their tablets will have lower quality fillers, preservatives, and colors that could affect its shelf life and its effect on your body.
Personally, this allergy medicine was the most effective antihistamine for me because it lasts for 24 hours just like it advertises. In addition, it seems like it affects my health in minimal ways that previously developed antihistamines have had a problem with.
For instance, Zyrtec or Cetirizine OTC made me develop a severe addiction to it, and when I tried to stop taking it, I had horrible antihistamine withdrawal symptoms from severe allergies to depression. Allegra is the same way for me, but not to the extent that Zyrtec was.
I advocate for the moderate use of Fexofenadine HCl during emergency allergy days because it is effective quickly and doesn't cause annoying side effects like drowsiness and brain fog that disrupt the productivity of my day.
However, you should not become dependent on an antihistamine every day because of the long-term effects of antihistamines that could affect your future.
I wrote a very in-depth Fexofenadine review here that you can check out for more information on it, and some insight on my personal long-term use of it for my allergies.

Emmanuel Macron names centre-right Edouard Philippe as French prime minister

Our Foreign Staff
15 May 2017 • 2:01pm
Alain Juppe
Newly-inaugurated French President Emmanuel Macron appointed a conservative prime minister on Monday in a move to broaden his political appeal and weaken his opponents before legislative elections in June.
Edouard Philippe, 46, a lawmaker and mayor of port city Le Havre, is from the moderate wing of the main centre-right The Republicans party and will be a counterweight to former Socialist MPs who have joined Macron's cause.
Elysee secretary-general Alexis Kohler made the announcement on the steps of the presidential Elysee palace.
Mr Macron has vowed to end the left-right politics which have dominated France for decades, and his start-up centrist Republic on the Move (REM) party, which is just a year old, needs to find a wide base of support for the parliamentary elections.
Mr Philippe is a close associate of former prime minister Alain Juppe, who leads the moderate wing of The Republicans and has indicated that he favours helping Macron. His appointment could draw more defectors from The Republicans.

On the other side of the political divide, Mr Macron's decision not to put up an REM candidate to oppose former Socialist prime minister Manuel Valls in his constituency ties Mr Valls closer and makes it hard for a divided left to re-unite.
It is the first time in modern French political history that a president has appointed a prime minister from outside his camp without being forced to by a defeat in parliamentary elections.
Mr Macron's presidential win itself was a seismic shift in a political landscape dominated for decades by the two main left-wing and right-wing parties.
By appointing Mr Philippe, Mr Macron has passed over some loyal followers including Richard Ferrand, a former Socialist who was one of the first to join Macron's cause last year and is secretary general of REM.

One of Mr Macron's close aides said on Sunday this was the kind of tough choice that would have to be made in Mr Macron's inner circle now that the battle for the Elysee was won.
"In government, you will see that a lot of the inner circle will drop out," Christophe Castaner, Macron's campaign spokesman, told journalists on the sidelines of the inaugural ceremony.
"I was among the first to say 'why not a prime minister from the right'? That's in the nature of what we are trying to do... It's tough... especially for the longest-serving ones," he said.
Mr Philippe began his political life as a Socialist activist affiliated to the former prime minister Michel Rocard while he was a student, before turning to the right.
A trained lawyer, he worked as public affairs director for the state nuclear group Areva between 2007 and 2010, before becoming a member of parliament in 2012, and then mayor of Le Havre in 2014.
Last year he was part of Juppe's unsuccessful campaign team in The Republicans' primaries, and then joined the presidential campaign of Francois Fillon, the party's nominee. Mr Philippe quit that cause when the financial scandal over fake jobs for Mr Fillon's family hit his campaign.
Mr Philippe, like Mr Macron, attended the elite ENA school, and his political hero is Rocard - another point in common with the 39 year-old new president.
The son of teachers, he likes to box in his spare time and collects cufflinks.

Depression is second after heart disease as the most damaging health condition in the world. The NHS has devoted huge resources to training thousands of psychological therapists to work in 'Improving Access to Psychological Therapies' services specifically to treat depression in adults and couple therapy has been identified as one of the effective ways of treating it.
Couple Therapy for Depression is an integrative 20-session couple therapy designed to treat depression in couples where there is also relationship distress. Following the recommendations of the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence for a behaviourally-based couple therapy treatment, it draws on RCT studies of efficacy as well as 'best practice' in behavioural, cognitive, emotionally-focused, systemic, and psychodynamic couple therapies. Sticking closely to the competencies identified for the treatment of depression and relationship distress in couples, it outlines the ways in which couple therapists can reduce damaging interactions between couples, build emotional openness and closeness, improve communication and behaviour, change unhelpful cognitions and perceptions, and help the couple cope with the ordinary and not-so ordinary stresses that arise in the course of everyday relating.
Written by couple therapists who understand deeply the unique challenges of doing therapy with couples, it is based on the training programme for Couple Therapy for Depression commissioned by the NHS for use in its Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services. It begins by describing the causes and consequences of depression, and then focuses on its impact on the adult couple. Highlighting the particular techniques needed in safe and effective work with distressed couples, it goes through the different ways in which the couple's feelings, thoughts, and behaviours need to be understood and worked with in order to reduce relationship distress. It outlines the treatment of four different couples to illustrate the therapy in action and will be helpful for any therapist wanting to enhance their work with couples.
David Hewison is head of research and a consultant couple psychotherapist at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships. He has a background in adult mental health, training, and individual and couple psychotherapy and research. He was part of the Expert Reference Group that agreed the competencies for the treatment of depression by couple therapy, as recommended by the UK's National Institute of Clinical Excellence. He developed the clinical model of treatment from these that became the basis for Couple Therapy for Depression in the UK National Health Service and is responsible for the professional training and supervision that leads to accreditation in this modality.
Christopher Clulow, PhD, is a Senior Fellow of the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, London, where he works as a visiting lecturer and researcher. He has published extensively on marriage, partnerships, parenthood and couple psychotherapy, most recently from an attachment perspective. He has a long history of contributing to thinking about the processes involved in ending relationships, and his most recent work has involved heading up a project identifying competences for treating depression through couple therapy under the Department of Health's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies initiative. He has also recently consulted to and evaluated interventions provided by a mental health agency to reduce depression in parents of young children. He is a founding member and past Deputy Chair of the British Society of Couple Psychotherapists and Counsellors and a member of the editorial board for the journal Couple and Family Psychoanalysis.

Album Review | Inferno Requiem | Nüwa
September 18, 2020 Tim Harbour Album Review, Black Metal, Crust, Dungeon Synth, Electronic, Metal, Metal Review, Webzine Leave a comment
It's been a while since I have listened to some crusty, raw black metal and I would be remiss to say I had any regrets about that, until now.
Inferno Reqiuem's Nüwa is a re-release from Taiwanese one-man black metal band and although it has all the hallmarks of a lofi kvlt release it also manages to surprise with melodic sensibilities, atmospheric qualities and intriguing song writing. I also find the record to be unusually moving, I always enjoyed this kind of black metal as a background music, music that sets a mood but is not necessarily actively listened to, this album has those moments but also captivates you with stirring lyrical melodies and progressive song structures.
Fog, the one and only member of the band has been writing music for quite some time, with his first demo being released in 1999. He has only released three full-lengths in that time but also a number of EPs, splits and compilations. Nüwa was initially released in 2017 and is technically not his most recently composed material. When diving into new black metal these days one always has to do the obligatory scanning of lyrics and associations, just to be sure and one refreshing element of Inferno Requiem is the subject matter. Although there are the not too unusual lyrical themes of ghosts and horror, the music also touches on ancient mythology and specifically Mongolian history. The title Nüwa in fact refers to a goddess in ancient chinese mythology who is cited as the creator of mankind as well as attributed with repairing the Pillar of Heaven (one of the Eight Pillars of the Sky which are a concept in Chinese mythos).
I struggled to find officially published lyrics online but I did manage to dig up some on a Taiwanese website (and used Google Translate – shame). Although one must account for the fact the lyrics may have been lost in translation, from my reading the themes of mythology, ghosts and Chinese history seem to run strong. The lyrics are poetic, melancholic and misanthropic. I particularly like the translations of track five 'The Investiture I' (seemingly about the content of a 16th-Century Chinese novel titled Fengshen Yanyi dealing with gods and demons) and 'Necrobewitchment' (just altogether dark and poetic). Here is a link to where I found the lyrics so you can check them out for yourself.
To talk music, I found the entire album to be engaging and moreish. Although I don't think I can say much that won't entice people who aren't already interested in the genre of raw black metal, for those who are not partial to it, I would say this is one of the most stand-out albums of this type that I have heard in some time. The guitar tone is on the verge of breaking your speaker yet still has a palatable feel to it. The bass is pretty non-existent as to be expected from this style of black metal but the drumming work is impressive (which is also probably to be expected). I think the vocals and the lead guitar might be the standout performance elements of the album. The vocals are blasphemous, and disturbing which contrasts with the powerful and moving lead guitar work.
To talk about some stand out moments of the record, the intro track 'Nüwa' has an incredible hook that keeps me on the edge of my seat throughout the piece. Similarly, track four, 'Nefarious Moaning' also delivers with mouth watering lead melodies. Track seven 'Sanguineous Obscurity' is the only new track of this release but features a remarkable middle-section build up that leads into the iconic, dulcet guitar work that is a trope on this album.
There are some interesting electronic elements heard on the album too which could potentially be described as dungeon-synth.You hear these moments initially as the album starts but also in odd places such as briefly at the end of track four. You also hear organ/keyboard sounds in the instrumental, track six, 'Mephitis Leftover'. I like these moments of respite in the album as they serve as contrast to the balls-to-the-wall, apocalyptic black metal that book-ends these sections.
Although initially I was not expecting much from a 2020, raw black metal reissue I must kick myself for judging an album by it's genre and state unequivocally that this release is enormous and even if the genre may not be your thing, give it a chance, you might be surprised.
You can grab a digital copy of Nüwa over on Inferno Requiems's Bandcamp page but only a small amount of his materials can be found on Spotify (pretty kvlt) . Most merch available can be found over on the Bandcamp page but I could only find vinyl of this record over on Discogs.

The hottest tech trends to watch in 2023
We're only days away from a new year, and it can't come soon enough for the tech industry. Unless you've been in hibernation and don't know it, 2022 has been a bit rough. The problems? Falling stock prices, falling sales, supply chain bottlenecks and more.
But 2023 is right around the corner, and a new year brings new opportunities for the tech sector. To that end, we take a look at some of the biggest trends we plan to take. These include everything from new hardware like Apple (AAPL) to artificial intelligence becoming available to average consumers to tech-driven healthcare. And the gaming industry will also be on the way back.
So without further ado, here are the next big tech trends to watch in 2023.
An Apple headset and much more Metaverse
Later next year, Apple is set to launch its most important product since unveiling the Apple Watch in 2014: its first mixed reality headset. According to Bloomberg, the headset will be called Reality One or Reality Pro and will feature a suite of cameras and a high-resolution display. Inside there will be a high-powered Apple M2 chip, which means the headset should outperform rivals like Meta (META) Quest 2.
Speaking of which, the social media giant is expected to continue investing billions of dollars in its AR and VR efforts. In 2021 alone, Meta spent $10 billion on new hardware and software as part of its effort to dominate the Metaverse, a series of interconnected online worlds. And those expenses aren't going to decrease anytime soon. Meta is already on track to pump more money into CEO Mark Zuckerberg's quest to create the go-to metaverse company in 2022, and will ramp it up even further in 2023.
Here's to your health: Apple CEO Tim Cook visits the Apple Fifth Avenue store for the iPhone 14 release in Manhattan, New York, U.S., September 16, 2022. (Image: Reuters/Andrew Kelly )
Sony (SONY) will also play a major role in the world of VR in 2023 with the launch of its PlayStation VR 2 headset in February. Available for pre-order for $529, hardware includes an improved display and dedicated controllers.
More electric vehicles in the aisles
Electric vehicles, or EVs, have been a growing sector for the past few years, and we expect to see that further increase in 2023. EV sales hit an all-time high in mid-2022, according to Cox Automotive, as they have become gradually more common. Tesla (TSLA) has played a huge role in the growing popularity of electric vehicles, but so has the widening range of offerings from more traditional automakers like Chevrolet, Kia and Ford.
"Electric vehicles will be an interesting ongoing trend because they have a very passionate following," said Rishi Khanna, CEO of investor-focused social network Stocktwits. "I think part of that is because Tesla has a cult retail following, and so many EV companies that have gone public through SPACs [which are usually of interest to retail investors]. People are so excited about Mullen, Lucid, and so many of these electric vehicles that are coming to market. It will be interesting to see this trend continue to mature.
AI is going mainstream
When ChatGPT went down earlier this month, it made waves on social media. The chatbot built by Open AI is the most sophisticated conversational AI ever available to the general public – and people were both excited and scared when it launched. A flurry of thoughts emerged in the aftermath, detailing the possibilities, dangers and limitations of ChatGPT. Anyway, people showed up. Over a million people signed up to use ChatGPT when it hit the web.
It wasn't the first time OpenAI had managed to capture the public's imagination. In April, the organization launched its latest version of the AI image generator DALL-E to widespread interest and encouragement from Wall Street investors. AI has become broad and exciting enough for the mainstream, and as a result, we're likely to see increased investment from Big Tech, startups, and perhaps even companies not traditionally involved in AI. AI.
Apple continues to focus on health and safety
Next for Apple? Watches and iPhones that could improve your health or even save your life. The tech giant made those aspirations clear at its "Far Out" event this fall. CEO Tim Cook opened the event with a montage of stories about how the Apple Watch had saved users' lives. Then there are new iPhone features like Emergency SOS, which allows consumers to send emergency messages via satellite if they're trapped in remote areas.
Apple has also emphasized health-related features. The company's new high-end Apple Watch Ultra has advanced women's health capabilities, including generation of family planning data and a temperature sensor, building on the Apple Watch's already robust health offerings. Regarding user privacy, Apple says user health data is encrypted end-to-end and users have "granular control" over how their data is shared.
Big Name Games Will Bring Back The Gaming Industry

The video game industry took a step back in 2022, as companies from Microsoft (MSFT) and Sony (SONY) to Nintendo (NTDOY), EA (EA) and Take Two (TTWO) struggled to measure up to their explosive pandemic- era sales. The slowdown in digital ad sales for mobile games hasn't helped either.
On top of that, more than 100 games have been delayed until at least 2023, while currency issues have eaten away at game companies' bottom lines. To top it off, third-quarter global consumer spending on in-app purchases, premium apps and subscriptions fell about 4.8% to $31.6 billion, according to SensorTower.
But things should bounce back in 2023. According to Morgan Stanley Research analyst Seyon Park, the industry should start to see a return to growth in the new year as new titles hit the streets and consoles like Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X are becoming more readily available after years of hardware shortages.
The year will also bring a host of highly anticipated games, including Nintendo's sequel to 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild', 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' and 'Starfield'.
As IDC analyst Lewis Ward previously told Yahoo Finance: "Assuming recession concerns dissipate and inflation returns to within reasonable control…the basis on where the gaming industry was before COVID will likely reassert itself."

Denver Police to Test GPS Dart System to Track Fleeing Cars
To reduce the danger posed by high-speed chases, the department will be testing adhesive GPS trackers that can be fired onto a fleeing vehicle from a compressed air cannon mounted on patrol cars.
by Elise Schmelzer, The Denver Post / April 26, 2019
Starchase.com
(TNS) — With the push of a button, Denver police officers can now blast an adhesive, soup-can-size GPS tracker at fleeing vehicles and remotely follow the cars from a phone app.
It may seem like a tool Batman would use, but Denver police hope the technology will allow them to avoid dangerous pursuits of suspect vehicles. The department is testing a small number of the devices, said patrol chief Cmdr. Ron Thomas.
"We recognize the inherent danger of chases," Thomas said.
The adhesive GPS unit is propelled by compressed air from a double-barrel launcher attached to the front bumper of a patrol car. The tracker sticks to the suspect vehicle as the officer backs off. A supervisor can then track the car with a phone app and plan a stop at a safer location.
The tracking range of the device is "quite large," and police will be able to track a car even if it moves dozens of miles away or into the next city, Thomas said.
The pilot program started Monday and officers have used the device twice to track and recover stolen vehicles, Thomas said.
While the GPS tag is not meant to injure, the department recognized that a projectile about the size of a soup can would hurt if it missed its intended target. Leaders developed policies to minimize that risk, including forbidding officers to use the tool to track motorcycles or convertibles.
The Denver police operations manual states that the technology can be used for cases that involve a stolen vehicle or one believed to be driven by a person wanted on a felony warrant, as well as at a supervisor's discretion.
Police in Arvada and Aurora as well as many jurisdictions across the country already use similar systems, Thomas said.
Nationally, about 355 people are killed every year in pursuit-related crashes, according to a 2017 study by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The department already follows strict pursuit policies, Thomas said. Denver police are not allowed to chase cars that drive away from a traffic stop, a suspected drunk driver or car thieves. Officers can only pursue if the driver is acting so dangerously that they are likely to hurt or kill someone immediately.
Despite that policy, Denver police chases have led to deaths in recent years, including a man officers shot and killed because they mistakenly believed he was an escaped inmate.
The department paid Virginia company StarChase about $100,000 to equip patrol cars with the device for the pilot program, though department leaders would not say how many cars now have the device, department spokesman Sonny Jackson said. He said he didn't know how much it would cost if the department decides to expand the pilot program.
"It is an expensive piece of equipment but I think it will pay dividends," Thomas said.
The device will only be used to apprehend suspects and not for long-term investigations, Thomas said.
The American Civil Liberties Union approved of the device as long as it is used correctly and not for long-term monitoring.

Whether you are researching the latest museum exhibition to catch, or seeking a behind-the-scenes look at the architecture of an iconic monument—even hunting for the absolute perfect road-trip playlist to download, Travel + Leisure is here with the answers.World CultureCatch a showing of Diwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (better known to its adherents as DDLJ) before you fly to Mumbai, where a local theater played the 1995 film for 20 straight years. Stand with the groundlings in the pit of the rebuilt Globe Theatre in London for a performance of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. Pay tribute to Fela Kuti with a concert at Lagos's New Afrika Shrine: a nightclub founded by the legendary Nigerian musician's son, Femi (himself a bandleader, like both father and brother Seun). Explore the gothic beauty of the Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's medieval collection, at the northern edge of Manhattan. Walk China's Great Wall. Tour the 2,500-year-old ruins of Persepolis.There are so many different ways to experience the world, and art—or rather, the many aesthetic products of many world cultures—both tells a story about the people who made it and envelops its audience in a new story. It is perhaps the most profound way for human beings to reach across time and space for understanding. As Carl Sagan says of writing, these imaginative acts are "perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another…proof that humans can work magic."

Q: How do I add a css class to an
* element that contains a given ID using jQuery? I want to add an active class to the
 that an ID is in, for example:

text

How can I add a class to the
 that #foo is in?

A: $('#foo').parent('li').addClass("yourclass")

A: $("#foo").closest("li").addClass("bar");

If your  tag might be wrapped in other elements, and not a direct child of
, parent('li') will not work:
http://jsfiddle.net/PMfVK/
HTML

Foo

Bar

JS
$("#foo").closest("li").addClass("foo"); // this will correctly grab the li
$("#bar").parent("li").addClass("bar");  // this will grab nothing

A: $('#foo').parent('li').addClass('active');

A: $("li").has("#foo").addClass("yourclass")

A: First select the element with the ID foo using the ID selector. Then, use .parents to select the
 parent of that element. Use .eq(0) to ensure that only the nearest parent is found. Finally, use addClass to add the class to the
 element.
Since we are using parent s  even if the element with the foo ID is nested several elements below the
 it will still be selected.
$("#foo").parents("li").eq(0).addClass("bar");

See my example on jsFiddle.

A: $('a[id]').closest('li').addClass('active');

BBC retains 3D vision for Wimbledon coverage
UK public-service broadcaster the BBC has announced it will show the men's and ladies semi-finals, and finals, of the ongoing Wimbledon tennis championships live in 3D.
The free-to-air 3D coverage will be available to viewers with access to a 3D television set and to the BBC's HD Red Button channel on the Freeview HD, Virgin Media, Freesat and Youview platforms.
The coverage is part of the BBC's two-year trial of producing and distributing 3D content.
The announcement comes after Fifa, football's global governing body, last month said it is considering dropping 3D broadcasts of the 2014 World Cup. Fifa cited US sports broadcaster ESPN's recent decision to close its 3D television channel by the end of the year as a key factor in its reasoning.
Kim Shillinglaw, head of BBC 3D, said: "Major UK sporting events are a big part of our trials with 3D content and this allows us to build on our work from previous Wimbledons and the London 2012 Olympics."
The 3D broadcasts will commence today with the ladies' semi-finals and run through to Sunday's men's final.

Chance is back from camp but strangely just as pale! He pouts a little about the show going on just fine without him and Drew compounds his insecurities by calling him Pauly all show! Why? Listen to find out! The guys cover the ongoing Midwest tournament scene with their GenCon Bowl recap and Chaos Cup preview - and by preview we mean catty responses to other show's trash-talking, infighting, hurt feelings, and general confusion! Both local leagues get covered, one just starting and one in the middle of the playoffs, along with Cheering Fans and our most recent contest finally has a winner! Sit down and buckle up, dig in and geek out...or do whatever you ;like while listening!

Had a great time in Halifax - thanks to all who camme out to my classes and a special word of praise to the staf of the Halifax GW - they are an AMAZING crew and deserve some serious props!
So aside from that I had promised a pic or two of this when I had the opportunity to photograph it but even better than one of my cruddy pics here is a very nice pic that was shot by Dirty Steve!!!
Id love to hear what some of y'all think of it based on the pic - please feel free to use the add comment button you find at the end of each of my entries - i always like to hear what people think and id love to see some lively discussion develop on here.
Also - by popular request, over the next few months you will see many more tutorials finding their way onto the site. Many of the teaching aids I have used in various classes will be filed on the site. If there is a specific tutorial you would like to see dont hesitate to ask!
I will have more reference pics to put up, another entry on the work of Dragomir, some additional reviews and hopefully a couple of interviews with the people behind some of my favorite games!

Une liaison pendante ( en anglais) est une valence non satisfaite sur un atome d'une substance à l'état solide. On observe de telles liaisons pendantes notamment à l'interface entre phases différentes, typiquement sur les surfaces des matériaux ainsi que dans des phases amorphes, comme dans le silicium amorphe, mais elles existent également sous forme de défauts ponctuels au sein de phases cristallines. Ces liaisons agissent sur les propriétés magnétiques de matériaux comme des céramiques du fait du moment magnétique qu'elles sont susceptibles de générer, ainsi que, dans certains cas, sur leurs propriétés optiques en raison de leur influence sur la structure électronique de ces matériaux, notamment sur leur bande interdite — laquelle dépend également de la géométrie des nanostructures considérées.

Du point de vue chimique, les liaisons pendantes sont par nature très réactives, et tendent à être passivées par diverses impuretés. L'hydrogène atomique est couramment utilisé dans l'industrie des semiconducteurs pour obtenir des interfaces Si/ de bonne qualité dans les composants MOS comme les MOSFET. Une analyse au deutérium montre que la passivation d'une couche mince de silicium polycristallin s'effectue préférentiellement le long des joints de grains.

Dans le silicium amorphe hydrogéné (), la densité de liaisons pendantes est négligeable à température ambiante, mais peut être importante aux températures couramment employées pour la croissance de ces matériaux. Certaines de ces liaisons peuvent être induites dans ce matériau par l'exposition à la lumière.

This is all important information you need to know so that you can pass for human at the water cooler tomorrow. We all know you're not, but at this point, I welcome our robot overlords to finally take the wheel and perhaps improve what our society has become. That, dear readers, is neither here nor there. Just make sure you keep the best that our society has to offer, mainly tacos and making fun of Ben Affleck.
Did you see this picture? It's a thing of art.
Here's the best part—he originally was sitting to the side of Kimmel, away from his one-time best friend Matt Damon.
After finally deciding that no one could be better friends with Matt Damon than him, he did what my dog does when he doesn't like the cat sitting so close to me—he used the opportunity to do a group high-five, and then instead of taking his seat back, stayed in the middle, turned around, did a shimmy, and somehow ended up in-between.
This is by far the most likely scenario (and how the dog always gets the sweet spot on the couch, minus the manufactured high-five) rather than Ben Affleck showing a modicum of self-awareness and letting himself be the joke, willingly and enthusiastically. This is a man, who as far as I know, has never issued a formal apology for Gigli…and if he has, it's still not enough.
This has been your SPORTS(!) update.


A geographer by training, Isaiah Bowman served as president of Johns Hopkins University from 1935-1948. He led the university through World War II, placing its resources at the disposal of the government and preparing for the post-war return of large numbers of former soldiers. Bowman was also known for his deplorable racism and anti-Semitism. As the first director of the American Geographical Society, he lent his organization's services to the US war effort, and in 1918 was appointed Chief Territorial Specialist of the American delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. He played an instrumental role in determining new national boundaries at the conference, helping to redraw the global political map with repercussions that continue to play out today through conflicts in places like the Balkans and Ukraine.
Bowman documented his time in Paris in great detail in his personal papers, saving everything from dinner invitations and luggage tags to strategy memos and drafts of documents that would redraw the boundaries of Europe.

PS3 might be getting Chrome
Sony's PlayStation 3 is internet-enabled, but gamers have always been unsatisfied with the rather inadequate browser pre-installed on the console. That might now be changing, with rumours on the internet suggesting Google Chrome could be on its way to the device.
This was first reported on gaming forum NeoGAF, with member androvsky posting about stuff he had stumbled upon on the PS3's online webkit source. He said, "I'm going through ps3-webkit-support.diff because I'm bored. Looks like we're actually getting Chrome, since Geoff's added a couple of files for ChromeClientPOSIX.

Dude... you're reaching so hard. I mean, how often do you use surf the web on your PS3?
...and for hilarity's sake, this has nothing to do with, you know, actual gaming.
Source: Anonymous attacks on Sony annoying, not much more
A source at Sony's hosting provider, which handles operations like Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) and Sony Music, tells Ars that the DDoS attacks have been underwhelming. The source characterized them more as an annoyance than an unstoppable force. They "annoyed our network engineers," says the source, but are only of "medium strength."
So this is supposedly unauthorized, but on the back of Sony downplaying the downtimes as maintenance it strikes me a subtle PR campaign to pretend nothing of note has happened.
Everything this guy says may be technically accurate, but the fact remains that i saw pretty frequent reports that PSN was down for a day or two, and the websites for even longer. It may not have been exactly what Anonymous was after, but for the average person I imagine it was plenty.
...and now the anti-climactic finish
Sony, PS3 hacker George Hotz reach settlement
Over on the official PlayStation Blog, Sony has announced that it has reached a settlement with infamous PS3 hacker George "GeoHot" Hotz. The settlement was actually reached back on March 31, and while the terms were not fully disclosed, Sony did say that Hotz agreed to a permanent injunction.
"Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal," Sony's general counsel, Riley Russell, said in a statement.
"It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier," said Hotz. "I'm happy to have the litigation behind me."
Unsurprisingly, this statement reveals, well, nothing. Which is apropos, as the case got an equal amount done.
Edit: Avoiding a Quad post
Move outsells Kinect in Japan 2:1- Destructoid
PlayStation Move is outselling Microsoft's Kinect in Japan, but a considerable amount. Figures put the peripheral at a 2:1 advantage, as the Xbox 360 fails yet again to gain much traction in the birthplace of Sony and Nintendo. Move cleared 170,000 sales, while Kinect pulled in 90,000.
Pretty measly numbers for both (Edit: Maybe not. Is a 10% attach rate for the Move good or bad?). Not trying to kick Sony while it's down, but the PS3 has over 4 times the install base as the 360, meaning right now the kinect's attach rate must be around twice of the PS3s (Assuming my math is right).

L.A. Noire: Nudity, violence, five hours of cutscenes- Destructoid
The UK's premier videogame rating system, the BBFC, has spilled the beans on L.A. Noire's graphic content, and also revealed an interesting tidbit for those that care about such things -- Rockstar's latest will feature over five hours of cutscenes.
Five hours and twelve minutes, to be exact. With three hours, 25 minutes of what is being called "supplementary gameplay footage."
I'm curious how this compares to GTA IVs cut-scenes (though it was a much longer game), but I'm looking forward to this game regardless.
How publishers punish us for buying new games
I don't want to install the game, or an update
I don't want to input a stack of codes
I don't want to watch an unskippable trailer for your next game
I don't want to make a new account for your online service
I just want to play the damned thing
These are just the section titles. It's a little ranty (rather than an editorial), but worth a skim. From the descriptions on some of the complaints it sounds like an EA game on PS3 would be the worst possible experience ever.
In a related note, I played NFS last night, was greeted with an update (not a big deal, but still), then I had to accept Terms of Service for some damn reason (considering the size of the update, I have a bad feeling that's all it was).
After reading the article, it makes feel like all console gamers are hard core gamers (Well, maybe not the Wii). Because anyone willing to sit through installs, updates, logos, movies, etc. is more hardcore than the chick playing Farmville on Facebook or the dude tapping away at Angry Birds on his iPhone. The appeal of that stuff becomes instantly clear (or rather the lack of appeal to move on to more "in-depth" games).
Someone should make a video on Youtube of someone with a fresh out of the box PS3 and NFS Hot Pursuit and time how long it takes before you can start your first race. I have a feeling it'd be stunning.

Rumor: Nintendo dropping Wii price to $150 on May 15th | Joystiq
DRM run amok: how Bioware and EA are screwing users right now
Sometime on Friday morning, Dragon Age:Origins players who booted up the game for a session of single-player dungeon crawling were greeted with a nasty surprise: all of the downloadable content (DLC) that they had purchased for the game had been flagged as "unauthorized," so their saved games wouldn't load. Again, these were vanilla, single-player saved games, representing untold hours of gameplay and investment, that users were suddenly unable to load.
Judging by the accounts that later showed up in Bioware's forums over the weekends, many of these users had the same, fatal response to the "DLC not authorized" error they were getting from the game: they Googled the error message. Googling the error message, instead of going straight to EA's online tech support chat and asking a rep for help, was the first, critical mistake that ruined everyone's weekend (mine included).
If only we had known up-front that the server was the issue.
I don't know if it's the lack of banner games this year, the length of the console cycle or what, but it seems like this is the year gaming journalism took a sharp turn towards criticizing the system.
Hotz lawyer: PS3 hacking case over, DMCA and IP abuse live on
According to the settlement agreement, Hotz will not be "engaging in any unauthorized access to any SONY PRODUCT under the law," nor will he be "engaging in any unauthorized access to any SONY PRODUCT under the terms of any SCEA or SCEA AFFILIATES' license agreement or terms of use applicable to that SONY PRODUCT, whether or not Hotz has accepted such agreement or terms of use."
The terms of the agreement are listed in detail, and they essentially boil down to the fact that Hotz will not work to get around any Sony encryption, nor will he help others do so in any way. What's odd about this wording is that Hotz has agreed not to use the hardware in any unauthorized way, while Sony did not get a chance to prove that the original charges constituted unauthorized use under the DMCA. The terms used in the agreement were under contention during the case, and those issues were never settled in a legal setting. So the question of what a PS3 owner can legally do with the console she legally acquired is still an open one.
While many people are disappointed that the case didn't result in precedent-setting vindication for Hotz, Heidari is sympathetic to the decision to settle. "It's easy for someone to stand on the sidelines and want someone else to spend the next five years fighting for something, but once you're in the fight, and you're being called 24/7 and you can't do anything without facing public scrutiny, and it's having tangible effects on your personal life, I think people think differently about it," he told Ars. "People don't remember that George is only 21, and he's fighting a multibillion dollar corporation. It's a hard fight for anyone, much less a single individual."
One of the things Heidari thought it was important to share was the strong-arm tactics companies like Sony use when they invoke the DMCA: seizing property, subpoenaing personal records from companies such as Google and PayPal, and even utilizing the police to invade people's homes in other countries. "Being forced to defend a lawsuit across the country is a big issue for everyone. My client had no notion he would face a legal battle in California," Heidari said. The issue is that people just click accept on online agreements or click that they agree, and suddenly they're facing legal battles across state lines.
LA Noire to feature PS3-exclusive content, 'Consul's Car Traffic Case' | Joystiq
So, speaking of complaining about gaming, I'm tired of this stuff. You need a ****ing chart keep track of what stuff you can get where.
No, seriously:
It seems like it's impossible to get a whole game now. That's pretty irritating. This is the game I'm most interested in this year, and I've basically concluded that pre-ordering it would be the dumbest move possible. I'm better off waiting for the GOTY Edition, where I'm most likely to get all this stuff and whatever additional DLC they add in the future. Not good.
(Man, could you imagine if they did movies this way? "Go to certain theater chains to see scenes not available at other chains!")
Portal 2 being released early? Indie games drop hints
Anybody getting this release day? I now sek is interested but I'm not feeling the level of excitement that says "Get this now."
Depends on my finances, but I am indeed super-excited for Portal 2. Might not get it release day, but it's the only game I've been waiting for since last year.

Damn you amazoooooooon!
Yes, i realize I'm a dick for posting that.
Professional Poster
I didn't play the first one, but, the humor in the trailer of this one is hilarious. If the game has the same humor, I'll buy it. Probably not release day, though.
Oh, and welcome back to the real world, guys. Thought we'd lost you guys to Minecraft.

You know, I've been thinking about this for awhile myself and it's certainly becoming more of the norm. With each retail chain getting their own exclusive content, it all boils down to the almighty dollar as always. The retail chain pays the publisher a certain dollar amount for a piece of exclusive content hoping to lure more customers in buying from them. It's really sad and like you said Dakar, it's impossible to get the entire game now.
LOL, I can see different movie theater chains showing alternate endings to movies.

The best part is on a shorter game like this, all these exclusive missions make up something like 10% of the game that been chopped up and parceled out.
More details on Burnout Crash surface- Destructoid
Australia's Classification Board had previously outed Burnout Crash as a multiplatform title that's on the way. Upon being nudged by Joystiq to provide further insight, the following synopsis was given by the board.
"An action arcade style game set in the fictional world of Crash City. The aim of the game is to cause as much damage as possible to traffic and buildings by crashing a car into them."
Sounds like an XBLA title, which would make way more sense from a resource and development time POV.
Activision claims Guitar Hero only 'on hiatus,' gets new DLC | Joystiq
"Actually, just to clarify, we're just putting Guitar Hero on hiatus, we're not ending it," Winters explained. "We're releasing products out of the vault - we'll continue to sustain the channel, the brand won't go away. We're just not making a new one for next year, that's all."
Oh. Ohhhhhhhh. That's why you guys killed the studio that creates the game and content. And the DLC. And brought it back.
That's some fantastic acumen.
Huge breaking news
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...ole-at-e3.aspx
Gamers have been waiting years for Nintendo to finally release its Wii successor, and Game Informer has heard from multiple sources that the company will unveil it at E3 this summer if not sooner.
We have confirmed with multiple sources that this new home system is capable of running games at HD resolutions.
I believe this. Why? A pre-E3 price-drop for the Wii makes more sense when an E3 announcement of a successor is likely to stomach-punch sales.
In fact, Nintendo is already showing publishers the system in an effort to get them interested and allow them plenty of time to start developing titles in anticipation of the system's reported late 2012 launch. This advance support marks a change from when the Wii launched. At that time, several Western publishers were outright surprised by the announcement, and it affected the software support for the platform.
"Nintendo is doing this one right," said an anonymous source. "[It's] not a gimmick like the Wii." What else, beyond graphics, this may imply about the system is unknown. What kind of controls the system will support (we imagine a need for both classic analog configurations and motion controllers) or what level of software and infrastructure Nintendo will provide for online gaming is also unknown. However, it's a positive sign that the system might be more than just an HD Wii.
First, I love that the anonymous source refers to the Wii as a gimmick. Just brutal. Second: Hope.
Here's what it needs to not be a joke.
Real internal storage, and before Hawkeye comes in here to tout his love of memory cards, let it be known I'd be happy with solid state memory as long as it is 16GB or bigger. My buddy is in the process of cleaning out his tiny 512mb storage just so he can download a new Virtual Console game. When I think about the 16+ GBs I've got on my Xbox, it makes the Wii's bundled storage even more of a goddamn joke.
How about sparing the 20 cents it takes to include an ethernet port, just for those people who don't have a wireless router?
How about having it be able to play DVDs, you know, that tech that's 20 years old at this point. While you're at it, make it be able to function as a media center too.
Include an IR port, so it can be controlled with a Harmony remote.
Assuming they're actually interested in regaining 3rd party support, they need to include a classic type controller, and they need to bite the bullet and go to an advanced storage format (blu-ray). Agreed on the internal storage and ethernet port.
I don't think the media center thing is important, mostly because I don't think this thing will end up being a media hub in most people's homes. The GC generation weened me off relying on them. I'll likely always consider them secondary in that regard and gaming.
NeoGAF has a been a great read on this. I's mostly industry types and hardcore gamers, but it includes lovers of all systems, and the overwhleming reaction has been joy at a chance for HD Nintendo.
Here's a link to an HD screengrab of Wind Waker. Apparently the Dolphin emulator does amazing upscaling. Would you want to play this? I would (And I hated that games art style).
http://i.imgur.com/ExKI1.jpg
I'm wondering if no one really cares about Nintendo anymore, no one cares about rumors, no one reads this thread, or there's no one in this forum anymore. This is big news, isn't it?
" What's most exciting about the Wii successor however is its all-new controller, which industry sources have indicated is not simply an upgraded Wii Remote, and will even feature a built-in HD screen.
Our sources did not specify whether or not the controller displays will feature any other functionality, such as that of the DS's touch screen, but it's easy to imagine the sort of innovation an extra screen could bring to Wii 2 games.
"Nintendo's plans sound unreal," one source said. "Publishers are already planning launch titles and it's all very exciting.
"The hardware is even more powerful than current HD consoles and backwards compatible with Wii. The controller will be all-new and has a HD screen on it.".
Heh, are these guys about to backtrack on years of talking up being cheap and profit margins? Because there is no way that kind of technology will be inexpensive.
I think this is the point where I think back to 2005 and recall that early console rumors include a lot of crazy shit that never materializes.
I pre-ordered. I will want to play this, and the idea of $5 off plus $20 back was too good when combined with the $15 I was getting back from Homefront bonuses.
I pre-ordered as well. Time to sell Homefront I guess...
Homefront – the game that killed my will to play XBOX and FPSs in general (I still like the actual gameplay, though).
Hilariously, as far as I know they still haven't released the fix to party matchmaking (but I haven't been following closely).
Next time I turn on my 360 spiders are going to fly out the back.
That'll probably make it red ring.
It's all rumors and speculation to this point. What news is there?

Let me know when there are pictures, till then I remain uninterested.
Yeah, **** you guys for making me buy that game. Halo Reach multiplayer is ok playing without friends but I'll be damned to play Homefront by myself.
Oh BTW, i have Portal 2 on pre-order through Amazon as well.

Me too. That $20 credit is pretty nice.

I dunno, I think with the popularity of iPhone and Android phones, we'll probably see touchscreen based controllers on the next round of consoles. I just hope other people incorporate Kinect-like features. A combination of an iPhone-like controller (but with real buttons too) and motion-based control could be very interesting.
I remain uninterested.
Just like the other 99.9% of the time.

Logically, think about how much that would cost as a standalone piece of electronics and you're telling me this is a viable controller? These "controllers" would cost as much as a Wii. And it doesn't consider the motion control aspect that Nintendo will obviously carry over. If this exists, it's either going be the bulk of the actual system (a semi-handheld?), or very optional.
Representing the PS3 side of things yet again...
Uncharted 3 multiplayer preview: Some shirts look good in pink
It seems like Uncharted 3's multiplayer system is going to be taking ideas from Uncharted 2, Battlefield, CoD, Killzone 2/3, and Homefront. As I've mentioned 1000x, the multiplayer in Uncharted 2 was underestimated by nearly everyone. It's as fun of an experience as I've found. I could probably compare it to Gears of War's cover-heavy, third-person system with brighter maps (and loads of variety).
For one, characters are now fully customizable. Though you're still choosing from a basic hero or villain model, there are all sorts of clothes and accessories to equip, and colors can be set piece-by-piece to make a look that's truly yours. Weapons can be customized, not just cosmetically, but there are mods to add on as well, for things like faster reloading, more ammo, or "Callout," which "spots" shot enemies for other players to see (Battlefield-ish). Emblems have more options than ever, and they show up all over the place, even posted in the levels themselves.
Elsewhere in the metagame, defeated players now drop treasures that can be collected for items and cash, and there are all sorts of new boosters -- some that can be bought right in the middle of a match to provide extra bonuses. Boosters also level up for more abilities, and there's a new feature called "Medal Kickbacks": Earning a certain amount of medals in a match gives you one-shot bonuses, like an RPG to wield or an instant respawn out of trouble (Homefront-ish). New types of missions are available as well, including "instant missions" (that give you a quick target to chase in, for example, the next 15 minutes) and friend missions that you can tackle with others (Killzone-ish).
The two-player teams also make use of a new element called the Buddy System that Naughty Dog said is designed to build more tactical gameplay into the multiplayer. In team matches each player gets a buddy -- players can spawn on that buddy and see him or her on the map at all times. Working together earns extra cash, and in certain circumstances, players can even high five each other, which also grants an extra reward. Like Battlefield: Bad Company 2's Squad system, the mechanic gives a little more meaning to one of your teammates.
They're also taking Uncharted's trademark cinematic feel from the singleplayer and interjecting it into MP.
Another big emphasis this time around is trying to bring the cinematic feel of the single-player game into the multiplayer matches. The two maps we played on, Chateau and Airstrip, each changed throughout. On Airstrip, the match actually starts in the hold of a cargo plane in mid-takeoff surrounded by moving trucks, and players could jump from truck to truck while trying to take out the other team. Chateau was based on the single-player level we've seen -- as the French mansion burned, walls in the map fell apart and opened up. Naughty Dog is trying to "make sure these events not only look cool, but actually change the state of the level," said Cogburn.
I'm hearing rumors of YouTube (yes!) and Facebook (meh) integration.
(EDIT) - Scratch that, confirmed in an earlier article: Uncharted 3 features Uncharted TV, heavy Facebook and YouTube integration
In short, I believe this is the greatest franchise of the current generation (quality-wise), and it will certainly dominate my 2011 holidays and beyond.
...pssst.
Don't want to have this thread locked, but I'll pull this car over if you kids don't quiet down!
Don't blame us, blame the assholes who shipped a game with non-functioning matchmaking.
Matchmaking has been working fine this past week or so. I blame Minecraft more than the sub-par matchmaking.
And you owe us for Reach
I'll admit, I owe Fatty for Reach. Bogues and I were begging him to buy it. However, I remember you picking up Reach because Saint, Euthyphro and Subie were getting it. So I don't owe you shit.
which no one liked but you and Leonard.
You forgot KCros and Bogues. It sucks because once they 100% that game, they moved on. Those two are the biggest achievement whores on this board but I still had a lot of fun playing with them in matchmaking.
Sorry, I'm going to disagree with you there. I highly doubt it will dominate over Gears 3 and Modern Warfare 3 this holiday season.
This thread is like Celine Dion. It will go on and we'll never let go.
You've got your cause and effect muddled up. I've never been more turned off by a game, mostly thanks to the effect it had on my friends.
...and I don't owe you shit because I didn't telly ou to buy the game. Quite the opposite, actually.
You forgot KCros and Bogues. It sucks because once they 100% that game, they moved on.
That's exactly why they don't count.
Reading comprehension. "My"
Bullshit. Considering the amount of double and triple posts I used to get in here doing the news its only a matter of time.

Der Rahmenbetriebsplan ist ein Begriff aus dem Bundesberggesetz (BBergG) vom 13. August 1980. Ein Rahmenbetriebsplan ist vom Bergwerksbetreiber zu erstellen, wenn das geplante Abbauvorhaben einer Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung bedarf. Diese Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung erfolgt im Rahmenbetriebsplanverfahren, das mit einem Planfeststellungsbeschluss abschließt. Ein Rahmenbetriebsplan wird im Regelfall für einen längeren Zeitraum (10 bis 20 Jahre) aufgestellt und stellt den Rahmen für das geplante Abbauvorhaben dar.

Ein zugelassener, planfestgestellter Rahmenbetriebsplan berechtigt noch nicht zum Abbau des in Rede stehenden Bodenschatzes. Dafür sind weitere, nachgeschaltete Haupt- und Sonderbetriebspläne aufzustellen und bei der Bergbehörde vorzulegen.

Hello all, I hope you had a great time celebrating Christmas & New Year.
I pray that 2016 will be a great year for you, your family and your church.
For many churches and NFP's, Dec 31 is the end of the financial year. This means that the year starts with Audit preparation.

Sunday Scripture readings, May 27, 2018: Are you in on this mystery?
Trinity Sunday — time for the big mystery. After moving through the story of salvation from Christmas to Good Friday, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost, we stand back and look with awe at the God who has been revealed. Now we can see that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Three Persons, one God: We see, but cannot understand. And even the most gifted homilist cannot help us much to wrap our minds around this reality.
And yet, while the mystery of the Trinity is unique, we live with the inconceivable all the time. The deer hunter sitting in the blind, looking and listening, cannot grasp the eons that went into setting up that moment in the woods.
Some of our most certain knowledge involves things that are way beyond our understanding. A mother knows how to nurse a baby. A Little League coach knows how to teach a boy to pitch. Each stands in a small circle of light, surrounded by mysteries of nerves and muscles and hormones and optics that perhaps no one will ever fully understand.
The important thing about this feast is not how much of it we understand but where we stand in relation to it. Is the mystery of Father, Son and Spirit like nursing or baseball for us — something we really do know, even though we do not understand?
That's the possibility that St. Paul speaks of. By God's grace, by Jesus' death and resurrection, by the Spirit living in us, we can know God as Father. "You received a Spirit of adoption," Paul says, "through whom we cry, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God" (Rom 8:15-16). Without understanding how this is how God is, we can be drawn into the love between the Father, the Son and the Spirit.
In a certain way, we can even be comfortable with this situation. Sitting in church before Mass, one can feel at home. "This is where I belong, I know why I'm here. I know who wants me to be here. I know what we're going to do — who we're going to thank and what we're going to thank him for, who is going to come to me, who is going to be with me when I leave." That would be the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Give the second reading — Romans 8:14-17 — a few minutes of quiet attention.


Why study Medicinal Chemistry Minor at UB?
A Medicinal Chemistry minor is a complementary program to other majors in science, engineering, and pre-health disciplines. Many of these majors, such as Biology, require enough of the Medicinal Chemistry minor courses such that only 10 credits of additional Chemistry courses are needed. It is also possible to enter the Chemistry B. A. degree program from the Medicinal Chemistry minor with few additional program changes.
A Medicinal Chemistry minor enhances career choices in other fields, but is not the best track to a career in the chemical sciences or graduate studies in chemistry. Students who wish to pursue those options should consider the Chemistry B. A. degree.
Students are advised to meet at least once every semester to discuss career goals and curriculum. Academic progress is evaluated at the end of each semester. Students should apply for admission to the department as early as possible in their academic career.
Scholarships are limited to Chemistry or Medicinal Chemistry majors.
