Forget Fortnite, Crucible is Amazon's free-to-play multiplayer game you should download now
By: Tech Desk | New Delhi |
Published: May 24, 2020 3:47:40 pm
Crucible is free to play, and can be downloaded from Steam. (Image credit: Steam)
Crucible, the team-based sci-fi PC shooter, has finally released. It's Amazon's first big-budget game, and it's free-to-play. The game falls in the same genre as Epic Games' Fortnite, Riot Games' League of Legends and Activision Blizzard's Overwatch. Crucible is developed by Relentless Studios, a part of Amazon Games.
Here's the trailer:
Here's everything to know Crucible, Amazon's free PC game that's making waves in the gaming world.
What is Crucible?
Fans of team-based shooters, Crucible is for you. This is essentially a multiplayer third-person team-based hero shooter that takes place in a colorful fantasy world. In the game, you'll choose one of 10 characters, each with unique abilities and skillsets. Crucible does remind you of Activision Blizzard's Overwatch.
Amazon's foray into gaming isn't new. The company also owns Twitch, a popular live streaming platform. (Image credit: Steam)
Choose your character from 10 different hunters and get deep into one of three gameplay modes. There's Heart of the Hives, Alpha Hunters and Harvester Command. In Heart of the Hives, two teams of four battle against each other; the object is to destroy monster hives. In Alpha Hunters, two teams of eight battle in a fight; the main goal here is to survive. In Harvester Command, two teams of eight battle against each other. Your team's aims is to take control of harvesters.
Crucible has 10 different characters you can play with. These characters as follows: Earl; Ajonah; Bugg; Captain Mendoza; Summer; Shakirri; Tosca; Drakahl; Sazan; Rahi & Brother.
How to play Crucible
Crucible is available to download on Steam — and yes, it's free to download. Right now, the title is exclusive to PC. Amazon is yet to announce whether the game will come to consoles and smartphones. Since Crucible is targeted at the masses, we can expect the title to eventually release on Android phones and iPhone in the near future.
Crucible, which is a shooter, is a big-budget game. It's the first title since Amazon Game Studios was created back in 2012.
As we just mentioned, you don't have to pay a single penny to play Crucible. But there are DLCs for purchase. The Tracker Founder's Pack for Rs 459, the Predator Founder's Pack for Rs 569 and the Alpha Hunter Founder's Pack for Rs 1099
How to check if my PC can handle Crucible
Before you even think of downloading the game, it is advisable to check the specifications of your PC. According to the specs mentioned on Steam, your PC must have Windows 10, 8GB RAM, 15GB of internal storage and a broadband connection. This game requires an active broadband connection, just like Fortnite. The game can also work on Windows 7 PC.

Screenwriting Techniques and the Novel
First posted on Bob and Jack's Writing Blog on January 26, 2012.
In my previous post on Bob and Jack's blog (see Guest Writers), I wrote about the early stages of my novel The Wedding Bell. This post is about my journey as an apprentice toward the later stages of writing a novel.
Before turning to fiction writing, I was a full-time software developer with a bachelor of science in computers. Once I began writing, I renounced all my project-development training in order to be a real writer, one that lets the book reveal itself to her as she listens to those voices in her head. I knew what I wanted that book to be about, I had a laptop, so I began writing. I goaded every character and prop in my story to do the work I wanted it to do. I thought that I was letting the creative part of me blossom, when, in fact, I was writing myself into every scene, and plastering myself over every prop. I was listening to voices, but they were all me. And so I wandered for a few years, until I came to embrace the obvious: writing is a lot like object-oriented computer programming. Yes, I know how that sounds!
It took years for me to absorb the knowledge that became second nature when I was writing software. For the last year, I have been studying the books that Bob and Jack think essential for a writer: from structural anthropology to rhetoric, all discussed here on their blog. I renounced the pledge I had made in countless writing classes to just write the book and trust that it will sort itself out, eventually. Outlining ceased to be a dirty word. Spending time knowing each of my characters, their parents, the view from the window of their favorite room, the buckles on their shoes, was not optional anymore. Writing about writing, thinking about ritual and myth, became part of the routine. Just as in software, even though you know the story you want to tell, you can't tell it until you design your classes of objects. And even when you know the entities that populate your world, their behavior when put together is not always predictable, as any developer who had chased a code defect for days can tell you.
During the last ten months, I developed my characters and anchored my objects and put them to work in dozens of scenes. At a recent writing practice, Jack told me that I have enough material to give the CUT-TO technique a try.
CUT-TO is a powerful tool that Bob and Jack borrowed from screenwriting. The writer imagines the book as a movie, and writes down a quick cut from one scene to the next, highlighting the objects in the scenes, the transformation of those objects between the scenes, and the hooks that transfer the suspense from one scene to another. The writer works on this exercise from memory, without any props to stir the story in the desired direction.
In computer programming, this technique is called pseudocode, an informal script of the high-level behavior of the algorithm.
After writing for months to the setting, and to the description of characters, and to the dialogue, and to the action, this cut-to exercise forced me to go big-picture again. All those objects and all those characters that had been around, though slightly misplaced, snapped at attention, lined up like beads on a necklace. I went home and wrote two more sessions that afternoon. When I was done, I had a bell-shaped inkwell sitting on a table next to a crystal bell, and I had black ink spilling on the floor like blood from a wound, and I had ink seeping into the lines of girl's hand—and the palm of that hand looked like the scar on the main antagonist's chest. Before my eyes, objects were morphing and people were changing in ways that I had not set them up to. It was though the voices had taken over, but this time they were not mine.
Here is the beginning of that writing practice session. I followed the format Jack used for the cut-to he wrote for his novel BLOOD (http://networkedblogs.com/taj6e).
CUT-TO for the beginning of ACT II
1. Act II opens in a scene called Crossing the Jagged Pass. Betrothed Princess Meda and King Duras's wedding entourage cross the Jagged Pass. Duras tells Meda to leave a lock of hair as an offering to Mount Clopot. The earthquake happens when Meda is alone on the path. First Councilor Oroles comes to the rescue, not Duras. Plot track on the incompatibility between Meda and Duras. Objects (on their own plot tracks): blade, hair, blood, gates. Also: snow/white—tar/black cauldron. Hook to: the arrival scene.
2. Cut to: Meda arrives at the Castle of the Lakes. Prince Getas, Duras's younger brother, falls in love with her. Objects: red trunk, short hair, cloak, fire, stairwell. Hook to: the wedding.
3. Cut to: Meda spends a week in the underground sacred chambers of the Temple of Concord in rituals of purification and integration into her new country and life. Objects: water, fire, white tunic, darkness, smoke. Hook to: the wedding
4. Cut to: Duras, Oroles, and Zyraxes the Wise (the old councilor and priest to Duras's late father) watch over the sacrifice of a white ox for offerings to the gods. Zyraxes reads the entrails—all good. Objects: white skin/white clothes, blade, blood, white linen towel, silver. Hook to: the wedding.
5. Cut to: Duras arrives at the Temple in a white litter and walks alone through the garden among the statues of his ancestors. Objects: white cloak, stone tablet with the peace treaty, oak statues, ash urns. Hook to: the wedding.
6. Cut to: The high-priestess watches over the dressing and adorning of the bride. The metal is silver, not the most cherished in Meda's home country. Objects: silver, white robes, hair, silver and sapphire crown. Hook to: the wedding.
7. Cut to: Meda and Duras get married under the marble statue of the Great Mother Goddess. Zyraxes, the high-priestess, Prince Getas, Oroles are all present. The cartographer interrupts the ceremony with a mournful prophecy that the union would not bring the peace Duras had hoped for. Meda is crowned Queen of Tarnia. Objects: red string to tie the wrists, red wine, white statue of the goddess, crown, blade, silver, white wedding robes, white ox's skin, fat & bones. Hook to: the banquet.

Movie Review Round-Up - The New Releases
Updated / Friday, 13 Sep 2019 17:48
Downton is a right royal laugh!
Downton Abbey rolls out the red carpet in cinemas this weekend; Maeve Higgins brings her comedic class to Extra Ordinary and Jennifer Lopez is a force to be reckoned with in Hustlers..
Downton Abbey ***
Well bless our stars! The King and Queen of Engerland are coming to visit Downton Abbey and upstairs and down(ton)stairs have got their bloomers in a right old twist.

Well, not quite. Those doughty souls skulking in the dim light of the basement do indeed go into a scurrying and skivvying meltdown, while those in the gilded, over-upholstered rooms above sigh manfully with aristocratic poise, loll elegantly on settees, and murmur stuff about "duty" in accents you could use to carve a chandelier.
So here it is, then! Julian Fellowes' long-awaited Downton Abbey movie and it will not disappoint fans of the lifestyles of the fantastically rich and the fantastically well-bred. Clichéd, silly, and with a plot more telegraphed than a Midwest highway in 1930, it really does lay it on thick. Read our full review here.
Hustlers ****
The Hustlers trailer does the film little justice.
It amps up the raucous fun this crime caper from writer-director Lorene Scafaria offers but doesn't hint at the emotional heft that elevates this movie from good to great.
Based on a 2015 New York magazine long-read article by journalist Jessica Pressler, played here with aplomb by Julia Stiles, Hustlers follows a group of strippers who turn to ethically dubious tactics to swindle money out of their targets when the recession hits. Read our full review here.
Extra Ordinary ****
Extra Ordinary writing-directing duo Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman's feature film debut, is a remarkable achievement - a wholly unique cinematic experience that is grounded with a lot of heart.
This delightfully silly supernatural comedy follows Rose Dooley (Maeve Higgins), a driving instructor in a small Irish town who has sworn off her supernatural abilities after an exorcism went horribly wrong in her childhood.
She becomes romantically interested in her new driving student Martin Martin (Barry Ward), an eligible and charming local widower. It soon turns out he has only engaged her services to try and persuade her to help him and his teenage daughter Sarah (Emma Coleman) rid their home of his late wife who has been haunting them from beyond the grave. Read our full review here.
For Sama *****
Waad Al-Khateab and Edward Watts' deeply moving film records the siege of Aleppo in 2016. The film may leave you feeling inert in the face of human evil, or quietly raging against the dying of Aleppo's light.
The local perspective is what marks out the documentary, which won best documentary at the Cannes and SXSW film festivals and a special jury prize at Hot Docs. That local knowledge is what sets the film apart from the otherwise valuable coverage we receive from major news channels. "A journalist visiting Syria can leave any time," Waad recently declared. "I started with Aleppo in my mind and heart."
In this Channel 4 production, which is in Arabic and subtitled in English, Waad is embedded in the purest sense of the word. The young camerawoman, who won an Emmy for her Inside Aleppo reports, is a resident who stays on in the city through its worst months of bombardment in 2016. Read our full review here.
Still Showing:
IT Chapter Two **1/2
Where 2017's IT was a jump-scare-fuelled creepy delight, this second outing from director Andy Muschietti feels over-stuffed and under-scary.
Twenty-seven years on from the events of the first film, a grown up Losers' Club reassembles in Derry in Maine to fight Pennywise again, and it's more of the same really with little new ground broken.
It's too long, too repetitive, and just too much. Read our full review here.
The Informer ***1/2
This yarn might not be in the queue for any Oscar action next year, but if you're looking to be entertained for a couple of hours and like your drama tough and tattoo-tastic, The Informer ticks all the boxes.

Joel Kinnaman - who you might recall from the RoboCop remake or the US TV version of The Killing - leads the cast as the eponymous Pete Koslow, a reformed criminal and former special operations soldier, who's working undercover for FBI handlers.
His gig is to infiltrate the Polish mob's drug trade in New York. But when a sting operation goes wrong, Koslow gets screwed by the Feds and is forced to return to the one place he's fought so hard to leave, Bale Hill Prison. Read our full review here.
Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion ***1/2
The French have been turning Rene Goscinny's legendary comic book hero Asterix into an animated movie star for decades - and there's little here to suggest that this lengthy list of films is anywhere near an end line.
Writer-directors Alexandre Astier and Louis Clichy rebooted the series in 2014 with The Land of the Gods, but this second outing for them is an original story rather than one from the original Goscinny source. And there's the rub.
While it's a fun movie that rattles merrily along, it lacks a little of the magic that the original storylines have in abundance. But your average underage animation fan is unlikely to be able to tell the difference, as The Secret of the Magic Potion is a knockabout tale full of laughs, if a little underwhelming for those longer in the tooth.

Astrologers say that Aquarius women are the most beautiful out of all the Zodiac, and part of their attraction is their striking character.
Bohemian, independent and thoughtful, a woman of this sign will jealously guard her true personality for those who take the time to discover it.
Never try to tie down an Aquarian, because you'll destroy the essence of her spirit.
Instead, look at her: it's worth the effort to learn to enjoy life like she does while you soak in her aroma.
Aquarius women stand out for their overflowing imagination and their love for originality, bordering on extravagance, but without ever leaving behind an impeccable style.
Their perfume will be intense, original and emphasizing their highly-valued freedom.
A fragrance that is only fitting for a woman with such a striking personality as an Aquarius: rebellious, passionate, unpredictable… very much a woman. It's impossible for her to go unnoticed.
A striking fragrance, almost extravagant: Perfect for the woman who hides an interior rich in nuances, full of talent and full of loyalty for the one who knows how to earn it.
Are we talking about you or about someone you know? Whoever it is, we're talking about a textbook Aquarian.
Although she may at first appear shy, an Aquarian is extremely creative and intuitive. Just like this perfume, she lets her charms be discovered little-by-little, so that the final result is irresistible.
With an interior so full of details, the essence that an Aquarius woman wears needs to live up to and reinforce the vital momentum of the woman who wears it. Therefore she needs to choose an aroma that is untameable and powerful, but always feminine.

Q: Spring Multi Module Project I have to create a Spring Boot project that will have a web interactive part and a batch part a,d both with the same DB (so they share the DAOs and Services), I wonder how to do it and I guess that the best approach is to create a Multi Module Project
something like this
<modules>
   <module>core</module>
   <module>batchApplication</module>
   <module>userApplication</module>
</modules>

But, do I have to create more than 1 pom and project ??? or I can do it in the same pom ?

A: You will need a parent pom which has the spring-boot as a parent, then a directory and with pom for each child project.  Your parent pom will be like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.3.RELEASE</version>
    </parent>

    <groupId>com.barclaycard</groupId>

Q: discord.js Bot quits if I mention a user when its expecting a role I am making a command where the bot can change the color of a role by command
var red = ['#ff0000']

client.on('message', message => {
    var colorRole = message.mentions.roles.first() || message.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === args[0].join(" "));
        if(message.content.startsWith === 'grimm!change red'){
                colorRole.edit({
                    color: red[0]
                });
       }})

Im having an issue where if I type the command, and then mention the role, it does not change the role color, nor does it say anything in the command prompt as well, and I have been rearranging the code.
Im also having issues with another peice of code as well
client.on('message', message => {
    if (message.content.startsWith('grimm!test')) {
        let colorRole = message.mentions.roles.first() || message.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === args[0].join(" "));
        message.channel.send(`${colorRole}`);

        const roleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setColor('#ff6700')
            .setAuthor(colorRole)

        message.channel.send(roleEmbed);
    }
})

This code was used by me to test to see if my bot could recognize a role, and it worked, but everytime I accidentaly mentioned someone, the bot would give me an error and the bot would quit, is there any way to fix both of these things? I would just like the code to be able to change the color of the role that was mentioned, and it would not quit the bot if I mention a person. Thanks guys!

A: To address the issue of a crash it's because when you tag a user. You are searching for their username as a role. as such, your check will return undefined & You are not handling this error so the bot cannot continue with its action so will lockup.
I have made slight modifications to your examples and the comments should clear up the changes
  const colorRole = message.mentions.roles.first() || message.guild.roles.cache.find(R => R.name === args.join(" "));
    if (!colorRole) return;   // Check if color role is undefined, if it is. Then Return aka do nothing.
    const roleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setColor(`#ff6700`)
      .addFields(
        {name:"Role Name",value:colorRole.name, inline:true},
        {name:"Role ID",value:colorRole.id,inline:true},
        {name:"Role Positon", value:colorRole.rawPosition, inline:false}
      )

      message.channel.send(roleEmbed);

Modified the embed to give it a clear indication that the correct role has been found. keep in mind rawPosition can be useful in future error handling due to discords role hierachy.
With the second issue about updating your role color, I have added two checks.

*

*check that colorRole is an object and not undefined

*check that the bot has permission to edit roles

If either of these two checks fail, the bot will gracefully return and stop the command from executing & The actual updated script is
const colorRole = message.mentions.roles.first() || message.guild.roles.cache.find(R => R.name === args.join(" "));

if (!colorRole) return;   // Check if color role is undefined, if it is. Then Return aka do nothing.

if (!message.guild.me.hasPermission('MANAGE_ROLES')) return // Bot needs this position to perform this action
  colorRole.edit({
       color:'#ff6700'
})
.then(message.channel.send("Successfully Updated Role Color"))
.catch(Err=> console.log(Err));

Q: What is the logic behind .form file format design? IntelliJ IDEA uses .form file format for describing Swing forms.
Let's take MyForm.form file as an example (I skip irrelevant content)
<component id="d32e0" class="javax.swing.JCheckBox">
    <properties>
        <text value="CheckBox"/>
    </properties>
</component>

My question is simple: why not to use attribute "text" instead of tag "text"?
<component id="d32e0" class="javax.swing.JCheckBox" text="CheckBox">
</component>

A: There might be several reasons:

*

*Using attributes they would have to discern between "property" attributes (e.g. "text") and non-property attributes (e.g. "id", "class") which must be treated differently.

*Using nested structures also allow to set nested properties like List or Map properties.

*Because the allowed properties are not known upfront it would be hard to define XML validation schemas or DTDs when attributes are used. Using a tag allows to validate the overall structure and only put in a wildcard in the properties section.

A: Then the XML dialect/grammar would have to allow the text attribute for every component even if the concrete Component subclass doesn't support text. Logically it would be dependent of the value of the class attribute. In fact the component tag then would have to allow every possible attribute of every possible class that inherits from Component - impossible, as it is open.
The attribute form may look easier for a single value but as soon as more than one attribute value has to be set writing it as list is better readable. But then I think this file is not edited by hand.
If it is not a pure XML dialect than a mix of (undeclared) attribute and list declaration would be possible. In fact the text tag in itself smells.

Sofie Řecká a Dánská (řecky: Πριγκίπισσα Σοφία της Ελλάδας και Δανίας, 26. června 1914, Villa Mon Repos, Korfu, Řecko – 3. listopadu 2001, Mnichov, Německo) byla čtvrtým potomkem a nejmladší dcerou Ondřeje Řeckého a Dánského a jeho manželky Alice z Battenbergu. Rodem byla princezna řecká a dánská, díky prvnímu sňatku také princezna hesenská a po druhém sňatku získala i titul princezny hannoverské.

Život
Sofie Řecká a Dánská se narodila Ondřeji Řeckému a Dánskému a jeho manželce Alici. Prarodiči z otcovy strany jí byli Jiří I. Řecký a Olga Konstantinovna Romanovová, z matčiny strany pak Ludvík z Battenbergu a Viktorie Hesensko-Darmstadtská. Jejím bratrem tedy je i princ Filip, manžel královny Alžběty II. Krom jediného bratra měla Sofie i tři sestry; nejstarší Margaritu, Teodoru a Cecílii.

Roku 1913, rok před Sofiiným narozením, byl zavražděn Ondřejův otec Jiří I. Později ještě Alexandr I. sesadil nového krále Konstantina I. a to vedlo k tomu, že do roku 1917 odešla většina královské rodiny do exilu. Později se králové měnili ještě několikrát a po celou dobu žila rodina v poměrně špatných poměrech v exilu. Střídavě žili v hotelech nebo u příbuzných ve Francii, Anglii či Německu, krátkou dobu například žili u Marie Bonaparte. V pozdních 20. letech 20. století začala Sofiina matka Alice podléhat depresím. Nakonec jí byla v roce 1930 diagnostikována paranoidní schizofrenie a byla nucena odejít od rodiny do sanatoria ve Švýcarsku. Po propuštění žila inkognito a cestovala po celé Evropě, neúčastnila se dokonce svatby ani jediné z jejích dcer. Se svým manželem Ondřejem se setkala po šesti letech na pohřbu právě jedné z jejich dcer; Cecílie, jejího manžela a jejich dětí, kteří zemřeli při letecké havárii.

První manželství
Přestože byla Sofie nejmladší ze všech dcer Ondřeje a Alice, vdávala se jako první. Dne 15. prosince 1930 se vdala za svého příbuzného Kryštofa Hesenského, syna Fridricha Karla Hesenského a jeho manželky Markéty Pruské. Filip byl tím pádem přes svoji matku pravnuk britské královny Viktorie. Kryštof a jeho bratr Filip prožívali dospívání těžce, především kvůli úmrtí jejich dvou starších bratrů a právě po této události se oba přiklonili k nacismu. Filip dokonce chodil na večeře pořádané samotným Hitlerem, dokud se mu režim neznelíbil a jeho manželka Mafalda nezemřela v koncentračním táboře Buchenwald. Sofie měla s Kryštofem pět dětí, ale on v říjnu roku 1943 zemřel při leteckém neštěstí.
 Kristýna Markéta Hesenská (10. ledna 1933 – 22. listopadu 2011) ⚭
 1956 Ondřej Jugoslávský (1929 – 1990), rozvod 1962
 1962 Robert Floris van Eyck (1916 – 1991), rozvod 1968
 Dorota Hesenská (* 24. července 1934) ⚭ 1959 Fridrich Karel z Windisch-Grätzu (1917 – 2002)
 Karel Hesenský (26. března 1937 – 23. března 2022) ⚭ 1966 hraběnka Yvonne Szapáry z Muraszombathu, Széchyszigetu a Szapáru (* 1944)
 Rainer Hesenský (* 18. listopadu 1939), svobodný a bezdětný
 Clarissa Hesenská (* 6. února 1944) ⚭ 1971 Jean-Claude Derrien (* 1948), rozvod roku 1976

Druhé manželství
Sofie se po smrti prvního manžela znovu vdala a opět za svého příbuzného; Jiřího Viléma Hannoverského. Svatba proběhla 23. dubna 1946 v Salemu v Bádensku. Jiří Vilém byl mladší syn Arnošta Augusta III. Brunšvického, který o své tituly přišel roku 1918, a jeho manželky Viktorie Luisy Pruské. Se sňatkem dokonce pomáhala i Sofiina bývalá tchyně Mafalda, která se chystala prodat své šperky, aby Sofii sňatek zaplatila, avšak zjistila, že jí byly cennosti ukradeny. K manželství původně vůbec nemělo být svoleno, avšak nakonec se tomu tak stalo a pár měl tři děti:
 Welf Arnošt Hannoverský]] (25. ledna 1947 – 10. ledna 1981) ∞ Wibke van Gunsteren
 Jiří Hannoverský (* 9. prosince 1949) ∞ Victoria Anne Bee
 Bedřiška Hannoverská (* 15. října 1954) ∞ Jerry William Cyr

Everybody* Is Pumped for the Sequel of Perry for Prez
By Dan Solomon
It's official, y'all: Rick Perry's name can be added to the list of Texans running for President—a list that includes Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Carly Fiorina (plus imminent-announcer Jeb Bush). The former governor made his blindingly obvious intentions to throw his hat and glasses back into the ring explicit this morning, becoming the first candidate also under criminal indictment to declare for 2016. (Though, if Chris Christie gets into the ring, he may not be the last!)
Given Perry's legal woes, the "oops" heard round the world, and his newfound affinity for country-rap songs about himself, the national media is, perhaps predictably, pretty damn excited for a Perry 2016 campaign.
Perhaps Gawker expressed that enthusiasm best, when it reacted to news that Perry would be making his announcement with the headline, "Ah Yes Oh Rick Perry Yes Yes Thank You God." And that was before anybody had heard the song that Perry apparently commissioned: "Rick Perry supporter / Let's protect our border / To hell with anyone who don't believe in the USA / Rick Perry all the way."
Still, even before "Answer to No One," which is the name of the song in its non-Perrified form that Perry to, people in the media were pumped to see what Perry might do this time around. Sequels rarely live up to the hype, and Perry—whose campaign is built, in part, around explaining away the disaster that was his 2012 attempt—is more likely to overcome the low expectations he faces than to drop another "oops" on live television. His own wife is out there pushing the theme of "He's prepared now," and while that may be the definition of "damned by faint praise," it's almost certainly true.

Still, the obvious critics who see Perry as a ripe target are delighted. TMZ created a video to highlight how sweaty Perry was during his speech, while the liberal blog DailyKos.com joked that "the Republican primary just got serious. Rick Perry is in."
The right-wing media, meanwhile, is working overtime on Perry's image rehab. Fox News' Erick Erickson issued an essay about "Why Rick Perry Deserves a Second Look," while conservative blog the Blaze highlighted the humility of Perry's "second son," real-life lone survivor Marcus Luttrell.
Perry's own campaign is keen to display the endorsement from Luttrell—the first link on his "about" page on his website is one that showcases his relationship with the Navy SEAL—and Chris Kyle's widow was also present for the announcement. The very first words on the page are "2016 will be about a record of leadership. It will be a show me don't tell me election," which makes a lot of sense: few things say "leadership" more than the military men who've become Hollywood heroes that Perry can claim, and "show me, don't tell me" is a fine theme for a candidate whose "tell me" has mostly involved pretty stupid things.
Still, the framing of Perry 2016 is underway, and it's safe at this point to declare him a longshot (the betting odds have him at thirty to one, or significantly worse than the chances that the Houston Texans will go to the Super Bowl in February). If he can somehow surpass the urge that people have to laugh at him—or to explain away why they're not laughing at him—he's got a shot in a year without a strong frontrunner, but that's one hell of an "if."

To Numerous to mention
The family came to England during the Norman Conquest; hence they were likely originally of Viking heritage. They fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. and distinguished themselves. Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, gave them land grants for their service. The surname was first recorded in Norfolk, England. The family spread to Scotland and Wales, and then in the 1600s and 1700s to Ireland. The Lyons migrated to America throughout the Colonial period. Many were probably Scotch-Irish. Some settled in the Northern colonies, like New York and Pennsylvania, and moved down the Shenandoah into the mountains of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, before crossing over into Kentucky and Tennessee and establishing homes in the Appalachians. Our specific branch of the Lyons family may be definitely traced to Knox County, Tennessee. It was listed as the birthplace of the parents of Richard Nathaniel (1845) Lyons, Sr. on many legal instruments. His mother was Mary "Polly" V. [Price] Lyons (1825), and his father was William Lyons (1818). William and Mary moved (probably along the Tennessee River) from Knox County to DeKalb County, Alabama in the 1840s after the Cherokee Removal. They obtained Federal Land Patents (see map) and lived, in what is now Fort Payne, close Lyons from Knox County, Tennessee: Specifically John Lyons (1800) believed to be William's uncle; Pocious (1819) , believed to be his brother (he was Richard Nathaniel's uncle by legal deposition made by PM Lyons in 1860); Thomas (1823) Lyons, believed to be his brother; and Nathaniel (1797) Lyons, believed to be his father (see analysis). It is widely held that John Lyons (1765) was the father of this Nathaniel, and that John's father was Nathaniel (1735) who was a pioneer in Knox County, Tennessee, and at least one source has the father of Nathaniel to be Humberston Lyon (1690) of Augusta County, Virgina
Richard Nathaniel Lyons, Sr. left home in 1859 and resided for some time with his uncle Pocious. Then he left Alabama at some point after 1860, and in 1863 enlisted at Louisville in Battery C of the Kentucky Light Artillery, USA. He saw action in and around Kentucky, and was part of the campaign in the west at the Battle of Little Rock, Arkansas. After the war he settled in the Kentucky boomtown of Proctor in Lee County at the Forks of the Kentucky River. His brother William, and half brothers Daniel, William & David Wade, and step brother, Ira K. Wade joined him. He was a master carpenter and stonemason. He built the beautiful St. Thomas Episcopal Church on the hill overlooking Beattyville and a Victorian home which overlooked one of the largest lumber yards in the South. The Church is one of the finest examples of a country English Gothic style in the Southern Highlands. His son, Richard Nathaniel, Jr. (1887) remained in Beattyville, and was the preeminent brick manson of the town. He built many fine structures to include the Presbyterian Church in downtown Beattyville. He probably also built our home on Southfork, based on the similarities of the brick pattern between our home and the Presbyterian Church. His descendants and those of his half and step brothers are to be found in Lee County, and are spread throughout Kentucky, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Colorado.

Bottom Line: Luxembourg
With an hourly wage of 15.27 euros ($18.33 USD) for skilled workers 18 years and older, Luxembourg is the country with the highest minimum wage in the world.
According to the latest statistics, the average wage paid in Luxembourg is the highest among the 34 OECD countries. … On average, a full-time employee earned 65,801 euros in 2018, including bonuses, overtime, 13th month, … Financial and insurance activities: 99,250 euros per year. Teaching: 98,835 euros.
Compared to its European neighbours, the cost of living in Luxembourg is 19% and 17% more expensive than in Belgium and Germany and about the same as in France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Denmark's yearly minimum wage is $44,252.00 in International Currency.
The minimum wage in New Zealand is among the highest in the world. While the above number is the OECD's figure from 2020, the rate as of April 2021 is 20.00 NZD, or a little more than $14 per hour. However, there are lower minimums for trainees and a "starting-out" rate.
At the end of June 2020, the economic branches employing the most people are in the following order:
commerce/ …
public administrations and services (21.3%),
specialized activities and support services (15.8%),
financial and insurance activities (11.5%),
construction (10.8%), industry (8.4%),
The average monthly rental cost for an apartment in Luxembourg is currently 1,378 euros and 2,357 euros for a house. One and two bedroom apartments have seen the largest price hike since last year, costing 7% more than in spring 2016. But the cost of renting a studio is 3% cheaper than it was last year.
IT IS AMAZING: What weapons are allowed in the Netherlands?
Austria does not have statutory minimum wage. Majority of the wage-earners in Austria are regulated by collective agreements which are negotiated by the social partnership. As per the current agreement, wage earners will earn nothing less than 1500 € per month.
Age-related pay for student jobs
The minimum remuneration is linked to your age. Are you between 15 and 17 years old? Since 1 January 2020, you receive a minimum of 9,5459 euros gross per hour, or 1.651,45 euros per month for full-time work, or 40 hours per week.
The lowest proportion of employees earning less than 105 % of the national minimum wage were recorded in Spain (0.8 %), Belgium (0.9 %) and Malta (1.8 %).
Australia maintains the world's highest minimum wage. As stipulated by the Fair Work Commission under the Australian federal government, the hourly minimum wage in Australia is estimated at $18.29 which is equivalent to the weekly minimum wage of $694.90.
Luxembourg has the highest minimum wage in Europe, and it's adjusted every two years in line with the evolution of Luxembourg's cost of living.

I'm been thinking lately about what a library automation system would look like today if we had the chance to start completely from scratch. I don't necessarily think we'll ever get the chance to start over, but I do worry that we're entirely too constrained by the ILS in its current form. In my Systems Librarian column for the Nov / Dec issue of Computers in Libraries, I present a few of the ways that library automation systems could serve libraries better if we could rebuild them around the ways that libraries work today.
I anticipate that the next cycle of library automation developments will focus more on the ILS, but hopefully in a completely redefined form. The basic structure of today�s ILS was cast more than 20 years ago. The next generation of library automation systems needs to be designed to match the workfLows of today�s libraries, which manage both digital and print resources. In order to provide efficient and effective support, the software needs to be designed around the processes and tasks that meet the goals of the organization. The current slate of ILS products works on many assumptions about library workflows that have long since changed. The next generation would benefit from a thorough re-examination of the day-to-day work that takes place inside libraries.
Read the entire article. Here's a list of Systems Librarian columns.
Inside Higher Ed leads today with an article by Andy Guess titled "Open Minds, Open Books, Open Source." The article starts with a reference to my Perceptions 2007 article and survey, and how it "revealed a measure of discord over the options available to librarians for automating their electronic catalogs and databases, software called integrated library systems."
The article then goes on to describe some of the open source initiatives in the new generation library interface realm, including VUfind from Villanova University, the eXtensible Catalog work at University of Rochester River Campus Libraries, and LibraryFind from Oregon State University. None of the open source ILS poducts such as Koha or Evergreen were mentioned.
This article makes great points about libraries inventing their own way by embracing open source alternatives as they feel that the traditional ILS companies have not provided the level of innovation needed.
I agree that these projects represent important efforts within the library community. Interest in open source has never been stronger. I would only temper this observation with the other major finding in the Perceptions 2007, that libraries as overall expressed a relatively low interest in open source ILS alternatives. While I think that the levels of interest will continue to grow, I can't disregard the surprising low rankings given in response to the question regarding interested in implementing an open source ILS.
I expect to see robust competition between open source and proprietary closed source options in the library software space for the foreseeable future. But having the open source alternatives in the game at all represents an incredible change.

In the early 90s, I did an internship at Luxembourg's diplomatic mission in Geneva. Since Geneva was (and still is) an expensive place, I often stayed at the office for my lunch break to eat a sandwich. And since the head of the mission was often away, I had a lot of time to go through the diplomat's CD collection. The man had excellent taste as far as I can remember, and it is through him that I learned about the Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo (1901–1999) and his Concierto de Aranjuez. It was love right from the beginning! It became a lasting souvenir.
I close my eyes and I can see myself sitting on the office floor, the CD box on my knees and the CD player playing the concerto once, twice, three times – until our secretary popped through the door and asked: "Mais Charles, qu'est-ce que tu fais là?" I most likely blushed – she was ravishing and I was a little in love with her – and said: "Ahem, this is incredibly beautiful!" And she would smile, smile, smile. She inquired whether I liked the Spanish guitar and it was only then that it hit me: There was a guitar! I was so mesmerized by the music that I didn't realize that I had heard for the first time a guitar in classical music piece.
So far for my ideas about the first movement. Actually Rodrigo had something totally different in mind when he composed the first movement. While researching the story behind the piece, I found out that Rodrigo wanted to describe in the first movement the Royal Gardens of the Palace of Aranjuez, south of Madrid. A place where Rodrigo and his wife Victoria went for a stroll from timevto time to escape Madrid. The musical history researcher Graham Wade points out that these "excursions were not languid stays in hotels, for the couple was without money or employment". When King Juan Carlos I. granted Rodrigo in 1991 the title of a marquis, he named the composer "Marqueses de los Jardines de Aranjuez".
The adagio takes up the mourning theme from the first movement while the third movement is full of renewed hope and joy: a rondo composed in the style of the dances popular at the Spanish court in the 18th century. Legend has it that Rodrigo mourns in the second movement his stillborn son, paints his incredible pain and expresses his prayers to God to let his wife live. But Wade says that recent research and in fact Rodrigo's own recollections tell a different story. Rodrigo writes in his personal notes that he started out on the second and third movement in November 1938, not the following May when Victoria suffered her miscarriage. "If Rodrigo could retain in his memory everything relating to the Aranjuez [concerto], it would seem strange that the loss of a child was not mentioned", Wade concludes in the July 2015 issue of the magazine "Classical Guitar" [updated paragraph thanks to the German guitarist Heike Matthiessen].
Rodrigo, blind from an early age on, composed his concerto for guitar and orchestra in 1939 in Paris. The premiere took place in Madrid on November 9, 1940. Rodrigo had moved to Paris in 1927 and studied with Paul Dukas. He fled back to neutral Spain when the Germans invaded Western Europe. After World War II, he toured Spain, Europe, the Americas and Japan, and, according to Oxford Music Online "came to occupy a position in Spanish musical life close to that of Manuel de Falla […] Like his mentor, he cultivated a style far removed from the major currents of European musical development." 12-tone-music, serialism, sound clusters* – that did no stimulate Rodrigo. He aimed to reinvigorate Spanish classical music by relying on folk and Baroque traditions. And I am very grateful he did.
Having been to the Aranjuez gardens about two years ago, it is a very beautiful place. However, I never realized that the second movement is a movement of mourning, thanks for sharing that.
By the way, have you ever heard Miles Davis album Sketches of Spain? It takes the second movement and transforms it for trumpet. Outstandingly beautiful.
Miles Davis???? Wow! I will have to check that! Thank you. Isn't it thrilling how many cross-links you can find between jazz and classical music once you start looking/listening for them?
Funnily enough, all of yesterday, I played almost my entire Spanish music CD collection. I left out the Concierto de Aranjuez. Will remedy this morning (my recording is by Narciso Yepez (1967).


In their second collaboration with the Centre of Visual Arts and Research (CVAR of the Costas and Rita Severis Foundation), Alpha Square will again dramatise a section of the History of Cyprus, in celebration of World Museum Day, on 18th May. This year we will see and hear the story of Eleonora, wife of King Peter I (1328-1369) and mother of King Peter II (1357-1382).
Peter I has always been the grand figure of Medieval Cyprus and was named the "athlete of Christ". His wife Eleonora was a historical personage whom little is known of. Dynamic, determined, conniving, seductress and very jealous, she adored Petros, hated his mistress Joanna, was accused of adultery herself, avenged her husband's murder, whilst as Queen Mother she fought for her son's rise and resisted the Genoese.
The performance is in English and Eleonora is portrayed by Alexia Paraskeva who shares the stage with Christina Marouchou (last year's Caterina Cornaro), David Dimitriou and Andreas Araouzos, who also directs. The original script is by Anthie Zachariadou. Costumes are designed by Rea Olympiou, and as they are based on historical research they shall later be exhibited at the museum. The performance includes the Seferis poem «Demon of fornication» as well as a Chaucer extract and verses from the Cypriot folk song "Arodafnousa".

"The recent UN Security Council meeting ended with Russia and China again vetoing any military intervention in Cameroon, while Britain, France, and America voted in favor of military intervention." This was the content of a screenshot that has been circulating on social media the past few days.
The message claims that a meeting of the UN Security Council was held in December 2020 to discuss military intervention in Cameroon because of the security crisis in the North-West and South-West Regions. According to the rumor, the UN wanted to strike Cameroon because of the alleged army exactions against civilians in the said regions. However, this is fake information.
Indeed, on the UN's official website, we notice that two resolutions were adopted by the Security Council this month. The first resolution was adopted on December 3. Named "Resolution 2553 (2020)," it is a request for the UN secretary-general to prepare a report on his efforts "to strengthen the United Nations' comprehensive approach to security sector reform (…) to inform the Security Council's deliberation on this matter."
The said resolution commits the UN Secretary-General to continue to promote cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union, per the United Nations-African Union Joint Framework for an Enhanced Partnership on Peace and Security (2017), the African Union-United Nations Framework for the Implementation of Agenda 2063 and the Programme for Sustainable Development to 2030 (2018).
The second resolution was adopted on December 4. Entitled "Resolution 2554 (2020)," it reaffirms the commitment of the United Nations to the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence, and unity of Somalia, including Somalia's sovereign rights over the natural resources off its coast, including fisheries, by international law. The resolution also notes the decrease in insecurity in the country.
This month of December 2020, the Security Council met regularly to discuss various subjects (Central Africa, South Africa, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, the security situation in Central Africa, the coronavirus pandemic) without necessarily adopting resolutions. But it never discussed a military intervention in Cameroon as it can be checked here.
Let's note that in diplomatic circles in Yaoundé, various credible sources also believe the said screenshot to be "Fake News."

There is a little dog in our neighborhood that anxiously waits for Judy and me to walk by each night. After work and supper, we put our coats on and walk and talk through our streets.
That mutt can hear us coming. How, I do not know. But he can. He's inside, standing on the family's sofa, every night, listening for us. We've learned to creep by, tiptoe, no talking. No matter. He begins a ferocious barking, running from window to window as we pass, then out the doggie door into the backyard, clawing the fence.
We go around the block five or six times and he gets us every time we round his corner, without fail. He hears things you and I would miss, like picking up our breathing, hearing our eyelids blink, anticipating sounds, or even nonsounds.
In Franklin Covey's book, The Nature of Leadership, Covey cites a Harvard Business Review article on "Parables of Leadership," by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgue that brings this "hearing gift" into sharper focus.
Back in the 3 century A.D., King Ts'ao sent his son, Prince T'ai, to the temple to study under the great master Pan Ku. Because T'ai was to succeed his father as king, Pan Ku was to teach the boy the basics of being a good ruler.
When the prince arrived at the temple, the master sent him alone to the Ming-Li Forest. After one year, the prince was to return to the temple to describe the sound of the forest.
When the prince had finished, the master told him to go back to the forest to listen what more he could hear. The prince was puzzled by the master's request. Had he not discerned every sound already?
For days and nights on end, the young prince sat alone in the forest listening. But he heard no sounds other than those he had already heard.
Then one morning as the prince sat silently beneath the trees, he started to discern faint sounds unlike those he had ever heard before. The more acutely he listened, the clearer the sounds became. A feeling of enlightenment enveloped the boy. These must be the sounds the master wished me to discern, he reflected.
I find profound truth in this parable for people in pastoral leadership — this hearing the unheard. For, in one sense, leadership success comes through sensitivity. "Insensitivity" is one of the most common ideas used in complaints about leaders. What I know is that every pastoral leader I know wants desperately to be a good leader, to listen, to care, to see excellent results, and to lift their congregation's eyes high enough to see over into the Promised Land.
But when we fail to be at our best, succumb to selfishness under pressure, and respond to people with insensitivity, it is most often because of the truths in this parable. For only when a pastor has learned to listen closely to the people's hearts, hearing their feelings uncommunicated, pains unexpressed, and complaints not spoken of, can he hope to inspire confidence in his people, understand when something is wrong, and meet the true needs of his congregation and community.
The loss of pastoral influence, and cause for erosion in his ministry, comes when he listens only to superficial words, and does not penetrate deeply into the souls of the people to hear their true opinions, feelings, and desires.
Barking dogs and the kingdom of God! It doesn't take much to hear the one, but it takes a lifetime to hear the other.


Over 70% of Europeans live in urban areas, and 55% of public investment is made by regional or local governments. The European Investment Bank works on a range of Urban Agenda-related initiatives to share knowledge with local and regional decision-makers in order to improve access to funds and help them use existing funds more effectively.
The EIB has provided EUR 95 billion in urban lending over the last five years and is extending that financing to projects with a higher risk under the European Fund for Strategic Investments, part of the Investment Plan for Europe.


The red arrows show the way I was hoping to find. The green shows the normal way.
Vogel Canyon was pretty in the morning light. I dropped in there and checked out the pictographs.
Clearly rattlesnake. Note the dumbass graffiti in chalk below.
After I stopped to check out the cool evidence of early residents, I headed down canyon to see if there was a way through. I quickly encountered a barbed wire fence. I decided that I wasn't going to start crawling over fences this early in the day. I decided to ride the normal way down to the Withers Canyon Trailhead. This involved taking to a wide open prairie dirt road. The cold crosswind worked me over for 7 or 8 miles, then became a tailwind as I headed south on Otero County Road 25.
The old stage road in the Picketwire Canyon. Note the telegraph pole to the right of the roadbed.


Based on this video, Brazilians don't watch a lot of zombie movies.
If they did, the people being pranked here (by getting locked in a subway car with a bunch of zombies banging at the window) would know how to escape a zombie apocalypse instead of straight up losing their minds with terror.
These women are so absolutely terrified that I'm surprised one of them didn't try to kill the zombies (or themselves) at some point during the ordeal.
This video is funny -- that is, if you ignore the fact that this is how human beings behave when they truly believe they're moments away from being murdered.
Personally, I've been waiting my whole life for the zombie apocalypse.
But now when it finally does come, I'll probably assume it's an elaborate stunt for a Brazilian prank show and get my face chomped.


Its been raining for a few weeks in Pretoria so I have been enjoying the cozy indoors for a while, which has been good because I had a lot of studying to do anyway.
I finally finished my exams , which is great as I can finally spend all my days watching shows and doing as I please with no guilt of having to study.
I find it hard to study in complete silence so I usually listen to music while I study.
Its strange putting this two shows in the same post as they are so different but I finally got around to watching them around the same time.
I know I'm very late when it comes to Downtown abbey but damn its good. I'm only two seasons in but I can't wait to catch up with everyone else. I won't say much about the show because I don't wanna ruin it to those of you who have not watched it yet.
I also spent the last week watching The following. I didn't know much about it before I started watching, it's a show for those of us who enjoy drama with a lot of action and also some mystery . With just two seasons to catch up on I would encourage most of you to try it out.It has a great story line and keeps you on your toes.

A method for the reliable generation of random networks that model known social networks is becomingincreasingly desirable as a tool in the study of how these networks are structured and how they change overtime. This paper will present an algorithm capable of growing large directed networks that are designed tomodel a range of observed social networks with regard to several key measures. Our algorithm is looselybased on the Barabasi-Albert algorithm for scale-free graph generation. However, our model includes manyadditional parameters that play key roles in social networks, including a means of assigning attributes toindividuals in the network, which allows for the exploration of networks in which there is a certain degree ofdiversity. In doing so, we have produced an algorithm that is not only intuitive in its implementation, butalso extremely exible and easily adaptable to a variety of situations. Furthermore, the algorithm exhibitsstructural traits present in social networks but not produced by the Barabasi-Albert model. We will discussdirected and undirected versions of the algorithm, show how each version performs with regard to several keymetrics of the network, examine how the algorithm compares to observed real-world networks, and discussextensions of the model that could further enrich its modeling capabilities.

The 1998–99 League of Wales was the seventh season of the League of Wales, the top division of Welsh football. It began on 22 August 1998 and ended on 1 May 1999. The league was won for a record fourth consecutive season by Barry Town.

Just 17 clubs competed in the league this season, as the 18th club Ebbw Vale (who had finished third the previous season) were expelled from the league before the season began due to financial difficulties, and promptly went out of business.

Kostel svatého Petra v Dubečku je pseudogotický kostel, který se nachází na území pražské čtvrti Dubeč, ve středu místní části Dubeček, na Lipovém náměstí. Je to filiální kostel v rámci uhříněveské farnosti. V těsné blízkosti kostela leží nepoužívaný hřbitov (dochovalo se jen několik málo náhrobků) a barokní márnice. Před kostelem roste jasan, který zde byl vysazen již v 19. století, a který byl vyhlášen památným stromem.

V 19. století byla v kostele nalezena Votivní deska z Dubečka, obraz od středověkého mistra ze 14. století, který je dnes uložen v Národní galerii. V kostele se nachází jeho kopie.

Bohoslužby se v kostele pořádají pravidelně, každé úterý a neděli.

Historie
Dubeč byla založena v 11. století, tzv. Malý Dubeč, neboli Dubeček byl založen o něco později. Předchůdce dnešního kostela svatého Petra byl postaven v gotickém stylu. První zmínka o kostelu v Dubečku pochází z roku 1364. Fara u kostela zanikla během husitských válek, poté zanikla i samotná ves Dubeček, která byla obnovena až v 19. století, ovšem kostel zde nezpustnul a stál dál. V 16. století zde byli pohřbeni někteří příslušníci šlechtického rodu Zápských ze Záp, které se zde nacházejí dodnes. V roce 1659 byl do kostela umístěn zvon, ulitý lotrinským zvonařem Benediktem Briotem. Roku 1712 byl do kostela umístěn další zvon, ten však byl zrekvírován za druhé světové války. V polovině 18. století byl kostel barokně přestavěn. Kostel původně neměl věž, vedle kostela pouze stála zvonice.

Mezi lety 1867-1868 byl kostel kompletně přestavěn, v pseudogotickém (novogotickém) stylu. Během této přestavby byla postavena věž. Z původního gotického kostela pochází pouze zdivo v obvodu kostelní lodi a klenba v presbytáři. Tehdy také byly před kostelem vysazeny dva jasany, jeden byl poražen v roce 1945 a byl použit na stavbu barikád proti německým vojskům, druhý se zachoval a dnes je památným stromem. V roce 1891 byl v kostele objeven středověký obraz Votivní deska z Dubečka z konce 14. století, roku 1892 zakoupený do Obrazárny, nynější Národní galerie v Praze. V kostele je od té doby jeho kopie. K další rekonstrukci kostela došlo v letech 2004-2005.
