Written by William McCoy
If you've enjoyed a noodle dish at a Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese restaurant, you've likely consumed cellophane noodles -- perhaps without even knowing their name. This type of noodle is thin and has a white, nestlike appearance but isn't the same as a rice noodle, which you can also find in Asian restaurants. Cellophane noodles are typically produced from starches such as mung beans. Their calories are comparable to those in other types of noodle.
On Par With Other Noodles
A 3.5-ounce serving of cellophane noodles contains about 351 calories, reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database. The same amount of rice noodles, notes the USDA, has 364 calories. Egg noodles contain about 384 calories per 3.5-ounce serving. Japanese soba noodles have 336 calories in the same size of serving. Plain, fresh pasta, meanwhile, contains 288 calories per 3.5 ounces. The sauce and other ingredients in your noodle dish increase the meal's caloric value.

i think we're finally hitting the tail end of winter!!! i feel like i probably just jinxed it by saying that, but hoping with every fibre of my being that i didn't *knocks on the closest piece of wood*. it was 14 degrees yesterday and it was pure bliss – i wore my sneakers with EXPOSED ANKLES. bless up.
the weather forecast says it's supposed to drop back down below zero this weekend, so i'll be back to hibernation mode which means lots of snacks, blogging and baking, and i suggest you do the same. who wants to venture out into our grey, chilly wind tunnel of a city, when you can stand by the warmth of your oven and bask in the smell of blueberry scones? the answer is no one, especially not you. which is why i'm sharing with you a recipe for stonewall kitchen's blueberry scones with lemon mascarpone cream today.
i had always noticed stonewall kitchen products at my favourite specialty food stores over the years, they had always caught my eye cause i'm a sucker for cute packaging, but i had never bought any. last week i had attended a cooking event hosted by stonewall, and i finally got to try what was in those adorable glass jars and clean white packaging – and it was delicious! i usually have my reservations about using packed baked goods – i'm sure you're all familiar with my vendetta against chemical-laden foods, but i was delighted to find that all of their products are made with only real ingredients of the highest quality. take this blueberry scone mix used in this recipe for example – i'm familiar with and can pronounce every ingredient – something so rare with packaged foods now-a-days.
these scones are light as air with little pops of blueberry throughout. i paired them with lemon mascarpone cream (blueberry & lemon is my fave combo), and topped them with stonewall's wild blueberry jam! the best part is they this whole recipe comes together in under 30 minutes – i suggest you make a double batch because the first one won't even make it til breakfast .
to make the scones, follow the directions on the packaging.
while scones are baking, using a stand mixer, whip together all of the cream ingredients until light and fluffy.
serve scones warm topped with a generous helping of cream & stonewall kitchen's wild blueberry jam.

Direito militar é o ramo do Direito relacionado à legislação das Forças Armadas e Polícias Militares. Tem a sua origem no Direito Romano, onde era utilizado para manter a disciplina das tropas da Legião Romana. Por vezes conhecido como Direito Castrense, palavra de origem latina, que designa o direito aplicado nos acampamentos do Exército Romano.

No Brasil
O Direito Militar passou a adquirir importância com a vinda da família real portuguesa para o Brasil em 1808, onde foi criado o primeiro Tribunal da Nação, o Conselho Militar e de Justiça, que depois se transformou no Superior Tribunal Militar, STM, atualmente com sede em Brasília, e jurisdição em todo o território nacional. Por força da Constituição Federal, o Superior Tribunal Militar é considerado um Tribunal Superior, mas na pratica funciona como um Tribunal de Segundo Grau, tendo em vista que não existe na estrutura judiciária nacional um Tribunal Regional Militar, que poderia ser representado pela sigla T.R.M.

Atualmente, o Direito Militar, após a Constituição Federal de 1988, tem despertado a atenção dos estudiosos do direito, e novos doutrinadores têm surgido, destacando-se entres eles, por exemplo, Alexandre José de Barros Leal Saraiva,  Adriano Alves-Marreiros, Guilherme Rocha, Ricardo Freitas, Ícaro Nogueira, Jorge César de Assis, Célio Lobão e Rodrigo Foureaux na seara do Direito Penal e processual penal militar, Álvaro Lazzarini, Paulo Tadeu Rodrigues Rosa, Douglas Fronza, João Rodrigues Arruda e Farlei Martins Riccio de Oliveira na seara do Direito Administrativo Disciplinar Militar, Eliezer Pereira Martins, João Carlos Campanini, Ronaldo João Roth, Lauro Escobar, Márcio Flávio de Moura Linhares, entre outros, também no estudo do Direito Militar, os quais têm procurado divulgar este ramo do Direito que alcança tanto aos militares federais, que são os integrantes das Forças Armadas, Exército Brasileiro, Marinha de Guerra e Força Aérea Brasileira, como aos militares estaduais, que são os integrantes das Polícias Militares e dos Corpos de Bombeiros Militares.

Além disso, o número de obras que se dedicam ao estudo do Direito Militar, Penal Militar, Processual Penal Militar, Administrativo Militar, vêm  aumentando de forma considerável, o que permitiu e vem permitindo uma maior divulgação deste importante ramo das Ciências Jurídicas e Sociais.

O Direito Militar é um ramo do direito que desperta o interesse das pessoas em razão de cuidar de uma categoria de funcionários públicos que são considerados como sendo funcionários especiais, com direitos e prerrogativas que na sua maioria não são assegurados aos funcionários civis. Mas, ao mesmo tempo de os militares estaduais ou federais possuem direitos especiais  também possuem obrigações diferenciadas, como por exemplo, o sacrifício da própria vida no cumprimento de missão constitucional, o que se denomina de tributo de sangue, ou "tributus sanguinis". Em razão destas particularidades, o legislador constituinte originário assegurou aos militares o direito de serem processados e julgados perante uma Justiça Especializada, que é a Justiça Militar da União ou a Justiça Militar dos Estados e do Distrito Federal.

Muitos defendem a extinção da Justiça Militar, por considerarem o Direito Militar um privilégio,pois está é leniente com crimes cometidos por militares além  de ser lenta e também por ter poucos processos ajuizados que poderiam ser transferidos para a justiça  comum.

Around three years ago I wrote about homosexual double repression hypothesis HERE. After I read what I wrote before, I had the intention to write the further hypothesis, hence I actually had the aim to elaborate the writing into one big picture. So this is just another further note of what I wrote before. I read several books and journals, it helped me a lot to capture the bigger frame of what is actually going on. In my previous work I wrote about homosexuality paradox in the modern era.
This post is functioned as a self note. I'm actually a little confused in what language I should write it down, since I wrote my previous work in Bahasa Indonesia (since it was due to personal class project submission – which has been commented by my lecturer as "too philosophical") but it won't stop me to write what I want anyway. To me philosophy is the basic thought to everything. Actually I suddenly had the idea of saving each of my writing under the same theme (yes, this one) to be gathered into one book. Very slow work I must say, since I just got the idea popped in mind, but well, better late then never.
Hello everyone! I share my thoughts here. Sometimes it may sounds a little weird or too radical, I know. But then it is just a spark of thoughts I would love to share :) And yeah, as you know "knowledge is a power, but ignorance is a bliss" [Plato] read more..

Bangladesh approves Delta Plan 2100 for sustainable water management
The government has cleared the Delta Plan 2100 as a long-term strategy to prevent floods and soil erosion, manage rivers and wastes, and supply water throughout the century.
The government will initially take 80 projects to implement at six 'hotspots' by 2030 at an estimated cost of $37.5 billion in the first phase of the plan.
The National Economic Council endorsed the plan in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday.
The initial projects will include 65 for infrastructure development and the rest for developing organisational capabilities, skills and research, according to Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal.
The projects are expected to add 1.5 percentage points to the annual growth of Bangladesh's economy by 2030.
"This is the first time Bangladesh has taken such a long-term plan," the minister told reporters after the meeting.
The large projects like capital dredging of the Padma River under the plan may not end by 2030, according to him.
"Project implementation will continue until 2100. Funding will be regularly allocated for these projects," he said.
The government is calling 'hotspots' the places that have been prioritised in the plan, according to Prof Shamsul Alam, a member of the Planning Commission's General Economics Division.
The six hotspots are the coastal areas, Varendra or Barind and drought-prone areas, Haor or backswamps and flood-prone areas, hilly areas, river and estuaries region and urban areas.
Water scarcity is the main problem in the Barind and drought-prone region. The water table in this region has dropped to 70,000 to 80,000 feet under the surface, according to Prof Alam.
The government is taking measures to reserve rainwater in the region for irrigation and other uses under the Delta Plan 2100, he said.
Sanitation and shortage of drinking water are the problems in the Haor areas, where the government will dredge rivers to reserve rainwater as well as prevent flash floods, according to Prof Alam.
The plan also includes work to prevent salinity, and cyclone and other natural disasters, Minister Kamal said.
Bangladesh will need around 2.5 percent of its GDP every year to implement the plan. It will need $29.6 billion annually for implementation until 2031.
The Netherlands, which reclaimed 6,000 square kilometres of land after implementing its own delta management plan, is helping Bangladesh execute Delta Plan 2100, the minister said.
Bangladesh, one of the countries vulnerable to climate change effects, initiated the plan three years ago and made it with around Tk 475 million Dutch aid.

Masons dedicate new lodge for future generations
HELEN GEORGE,Pocono Record Lifestyle Writer
BARTONSVILLE — Family and friends gathered Saturday to dedicate a building for the future.
The 8,000-square-foot Rim Rock Masonic Center on Rim Rock Drive, Bartonsville, is the new home for the Free and Accepted Masons Barger Lodge 325, the J. Simpson Africa Lodge 680 and the Gidean Lodge 145.
"The cornerstone laying is symbolic," said Bob Lambert, chairman of the building committee. "This is to bless the building and asking the great architect, who is God, to look over our building and see that we are doing the right thing."
The building has two lodge meeting rooms, a dining room, kitchen, secretary's office and restrooms. The building cost $565,000 and was paid for by the sale of the old lodge, private donations and a small mortgage.
Right Worshipful Grand Master of Pennsylvania James L. Ernette dedicated the building. About 800 Freemasons from Monroe, Pike and Northampton counties will call this building home.
Prior, the groups owned another building located on Sixth and Main streets in Stroudsburg, meeting in the upper floors. In 1994, the organization sold the building to Dunkelburger's Sports Outfitter.
Lambert said the old building was difficult for older members because of the stairs and parking problems. Construction started on the new building in September of 1998 and the first meeting was held in March.
About 300 family and friends were expected to attend the cornerstone laying. A private ceremony for members only dedicated the lodge.
"It isn't official until the dedication to God and Freemasonry," Lambert said.
Freemasonry has origins which date back to the stonemasons who built the great cathedrals of Europe in the Middle Ages. The practices and procedures were formalized with the establishment of the United Grand Lodge of England in 1717.
Locally, Freemasons participate in the Child Safety Seat Program, award four $1,000 scholarships locally, sponsor a soccer team and support the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Ronald McDonald House, a diabetes association and an eye foundation.
Lambert said, "We built it for our children, our children's children and our grandchildren's children so they will have a place to meet after we are gone."

Conor McGregor wants to box Floyd Mayweather again: 'I know I beat Floyd if we rematch'
Conor McGregor is looking to rematch Floyd Mayweather.
The two fought back in the summer of 2017 in one of the most hyped combat sports fights of all-time. It paired the biggest MMA star against the biggest boxing star, in the boxing ring where, in the end, it was Mayweather who got the job done.
Yet, McGregor believes he had success in the fight and says Mayweather is even interested in the rematch.
"I'd like to rematch Floyd. I think we should rematch Floyd. I mean, he's flirting with it, and they want all this," Conor McGregor said on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show. "And he can go and pick someone else. It's not gonna be the same. It's not. I've done phenomenal in that bout."
If they fight again, Conor McGregor is confident he would beat Floyd Mayweather.
"I know I'd beat Floyd, I'd beat Floyd if we rematched, when we rematch. He's not gonna do a mixed martial arts bout like he said. It was supposed to be me boxing, and then we'll do a mixed martial arts bout," he added. "That was what was said. And it came out of his mouth as well, and it was not written, but it was a verbal agreement. And obviously, that's not gonna happen. I'm not going to push him on that, either. But I would like to box him. I think that would be a good rematch.
"You never know [if it could happen this year]."
Whether or not the two will get to rematch is to be seen. But, Conor McGregor has been talking about boxing more and more lately as he even brought up a possible bout against Manny Pacquiao.
Would you be interested in seeing a rematch between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!

I need add progressBar to my form to calculate progress percentage to this process, but I dont know how do.
Im using Visual Studio 2012, windows form.

A: Use the process OutputDataReceived event to capture progress.  (assuming the process is giving any sort of updates).  You could format an initial output to return the total number of increments, and then bump the progress for each output event or actually parse the output data to determine current progress.
In this example the output from the process will set the maximum, and each following step will bump it up.
e.g.
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Continuous;
// for every line written to stdOut, raise a progress event
int result = SpawnProcessSynchronous(fileName, args, out placeholder, false,
    (sender, eventArgs) =>
    {
        if (eventArgs.Data.StartsWith("TotalSteps=")
        {
          progressBar1.Minimum = 0;
          progressBar1.Maximum = Convert.ToInt32(eventArgs.Data.Replace("TotalSteps=",""));
          progressBar1.Value = 0;
        }
        else
        {
          progressBar1.Increment(1);
        }
    });

public static int SpawnProcessSynchronous(string fileName, string args, out string stdOut, bool isVisible, DataReceivedEventHandler OutputDataReceivedDelegate)
{
    int returnValue = 0;
    var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    stdOut = "";
    processInfo.FileName = fileName;
    processInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) ?? "";
    log.Debug("Set working directory to: {0}", processInfo.WorkingDirectory);

    processInfo.WindowStyle = isVisible ? ProcessWindowStyle.Normal : ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
    processInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    processInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    processInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

    processInfo.Arguments = args;
    using (Process process = Process.Start(processInfo))
    {
        if (OutputDataReceivedDelegate != null)
        {
            process.OutputDataReceived += OutputDataReceivedDelegate;
            process.BeginOutputReadLine();
        }
        else
        {
            stdOut = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
        }
        // do not reverse order of synchronous read to end and WaitForExit or deadlock
        // Wait for the process to end.
        process.WaitForExit();
        returnValue = process.ExitCode;
    }
    return returnValue;
}

A: A generic Process does not have a built-in mechanism to provide progress notification.  You need to figure out some means for the process you are starting to inform of its progress.
If you control that process, you might have it write to Standard Out or Standard Error, and use the
outputReader = process.StandardOutput;
errorReader = process.StandardError;

you have defined to read that progress back into your program.  For example, the process could write to Standard Error
10
31
50
99

and your parent process, reading errorReader, could interpret those individual lines as % complete.
Once you have a means of getting the % complete of the child process, you can use a ProgressBar to show that progress.

Good podcast guys! 🙂 I'm happy for the explanation of the comic especially.
The main reason I'm commenting, however, is that I finally finished all of the podcasts! I started a month or two ago, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. You wouldn't believe how entertaining it is to hear how new segments were created, the numerous black doom awards, Ray's voice cracking from time to time and Tim's voice turning from a monotone to a semi-monotone.
Thank you for all you guys do. We truly appreciate your work!
Dest747 says:
"This comic USED to be good. Just sayin'."
Lawl.
so im just sitting here,starting to subscribe in itunes,then POP PODCAST WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!!!
….*listens for comic talk*
0) Whoa! That correction was fast! … Just Sayin'
1) Intro sound effect: sounds like it's from Spelunky.
2) Starting with Off Topic? I was right about this being a Very Different Podcast.
3) I'm sure S&P 2 isn't delayed in the UK. Not that I care, I'm just happy with Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Headdy.
4) Comic Talk: I'm sure the music plays during New Year's Eve on Animal Crossing Wild World.
5) Comic Talk: That answered nothing!
5.5) I think 2P START! might be turning into Blue Starlight Comics.
6) Lol at Ray's impression of the "Achievment Unlocked" sound effect.
7) Black Doom Award: Which Mega Man music is that?
8) Black Doom Award: When I saw everyone commenting about the Final Fight DRM "IF I KNEW IT HAD DRM I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS GAME", all I could think of was Just Say No.
7) Final Boss from Mega Man 5
MiMGodfather says:
Great podcast this week, guys. I'm loving how you guys explained the comic without really giving anything away, and the…mysterious voicemail from Jon Watts (at least that's who I think it was) only adds to the intrigue! It kind of reminded me of the ominous messages at the end of the Metal Gear Solid games.
Sadly, I too am guilty of saying "Just sayin'."
Looking forward to the next comic!
When Ray mentioned "The Electric Game", the first thing to come to my mind was the new Game and Watch they had pop up in Japan's Club Nintendo.
Ahahaha Tim, I busted up laughing the moment you ran straight for the ONE TIME GAG ONLY immediately around 11:43. The Comic Talk in this section was a great laugh.
Mwa!? Ahahahaha. Why did I laugh at that? It was fun, though.
"Yo Ho" was interesting. It's a bit lacking in gym whistle, though.
That very last bit of the podcast was interesting. But I honestly have no idea what the person was saying. I distinctly heard something about congradulations and Ray though.
Looked up Wild Woody… And I think I just killed my chances at even a moderately decent first impression as the first thing I got was about the Naughty Mermaid code. The second thing I found of it had a lot of sounds that sounded almost like it was ripped from Sonic Spinball. And then I stopped. It doesn't look fun.
I forgot the most important part of the comment!
Nice Podcast Guys, and thanks for making it!
BooCwis says:
Okay, so I was listening to "Wild Woody" on the podcast today (and with they name, I mean WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!) and two seconds in (seriously counted) I was laughing and chucking and chortling and everything. And my little bro just goes like, "Dude, what the crap is wrong with you?" My reply was "It's this podcast….again. Just sayin'"
I swear, he's gonna take my iPod and listen to this podcast one day, then say "No wonder why he's single"
Count Caterpie says:
Well, I was going to wait to 'rise from my grave' until after I had listened to all 122 podcasts, but given Ray's advice in this episode, I will postpone (but not eliminate) that goal.
Yes, I'm rising from my grave.
I've only been reading/listening for about three weeks and I've enjoyed most everything I've read/heard. I look forward to being a regular commenter here.
Okay, I've listened to absolutely all of them.
Aaron90 says:
Awesome stuff guys.
Enjoyed the rap discussion.
Agreed with pretty much everything.
GUYS.guys. guys. they OBVIOUSLY didnt do JUST a vague interview…theres got to be some HIDDEN DETAIL in the interview!
QUICK.SOMEONE. take the interview clip and reverse it.
ANOTHER SOMEONE. speed it up.
SOMEONE WITH LOTS OF SOUND EDITING EQUIPMENT. mess with the volume bits.
It's not a perfect edit, but here's a shortened clip that drops things down to just the comic talk. I have to get back to work.
No offense, but, disappointing podcast. Just sayin'.
All joking aside, good to hear this in no way implies a 2P FINISH! And should that day ever come to pass, I'm pretty sure you guys would be pretty obvious about such a thing. Unlike another webcomic I read in which I looked for updates for 7 months before deciding to look at the forums and discovered it was long since over…
Don't you know? about the word? everybody knows about the word.. Bird bird bird, the bird is the word…. (Tim putted that song in my head since the beginning of the podcast when he said "don't you know?")
anyway, with that out of the way..
Could you 2 have been invited to some event, like a webcomic E3 thing… could explain the sharp look (in the future), why you aren't at home. Event's somewhere you get to by a plane flight, since you are a good father, and husband, you tell the flight was good, no matter what, not to get her worried… just supposing. I'm probably way off anyway.
good podcast as usual, Tim with the news got dropped like it's hot, even later on with a 10 year awaited game (now I wish Timesplitter 4 get released, Anaconda and Disco a GoGo songs FTW), that black doomed song, yup, fit black doom, trying too much questionable results. Star city's theme is one of the best tracks from Diddy Kong racing, only on par with VERY few. That clip at the end was just even more teasing, you guys enjoy that don't you? Crazy speculations are filling my mind again…
Sorry for the rather off topic comment.
Person Number 3 says:
I have an awesome comic idea for where this is going. It continues from Tim in the airport, coming to see Ray in Japan. Now, I tried to submit this earlier, but something screwed up, and everything was lost. It better work this time, and if it does, it will be amazing.
Tim goes out of the airport and heads for Tokyo, where Ray is, by car. Ray has stolen his beanie and stolen all of his regular Dr. Pepper as a prank, which forces him into a weak state and makes him drink Diet Dr. Pepper to mantain his energy. He is very angry with Ray, and is going to tell him that he doesn't want to work with someone like that, and will end 2P START!. But upon reaching Tokyo, Tim discovers Black Doom in a giant mech suit, destroying everything in sight. Tim scrambles everywhere to find Ray, and eventually sees him clutching his beanie in front of a destroyed Sega HQ, sobbing. Tim carries Ray, who is in hysteria, into the car, puts on his beanie, and is immediately rejuvinated. Tim drives them both far, far away, where they rest and Tim uses his iPod to loudly play Emerald Hill Zone from Sonic 2. Ray wakes up, and they both look for shelter. They find a shed filled with Dr. Pepper cans, and Tim stuffs all he can into his truck. While staying here, they meet Wild Woody and Ray the Squirrel. They all eventually realize that they are the only ones who can stop Black Doom, and drive to Tokyo to make things right. Halfway along, though, Tim's engine runs out of gas. Tears in his eyes, Tim pours the remainder of his Dr. Pepper into the gas tank. The car becomes sorrounded by the 7 Chaos Emeralds, gains a golden glow, and flies them all to Tokyo. They find a wrecked city, with a giant looming black fortress in the middle, a huge HDTV playing Sonic '06 in front of it. At the door to the fortress is a DRMonster, who refuses to let anyone in unless they are online on XBox Live, PlayStation Network, and Nintedo WiFi Connection simoultaneously. Ray picks up Woody and charges at it with Woody as a battering ram, knocking it over. Everyone but Woody rushes in, Woody insisting on guarding the door from anyone who might try to stop them with his immense attitude. They rush through the gloomy hallways covered in Shadow the Hedgehog posters, where they eventually reach a large gap in the hallway between them and the next door. Ray the Squirrel glides them across, lands them in safety, but falls through the hole before he can get there himself. Ray and Tim go on anyway, but immediately they find a malevolant presence in the next hallway…this is EMO RAY!! Emo Ray looks particularly evil with his flipped-down hair and spiky elbows, and tries to lure Ray into darkness by telling Ray to bask in the hate of Sonic 4, SEGA, and all else. Ray nearly succombs, his hair flip getting lower and lower, but snaps out at the last minute, engaging in a battle with his darker self. While Emo Ray has him pinned to the grimy, dark floor, Ray tells Tim to go on without him, and Tim is extremely reluctant, but eventually goes through the door to Black Doom's personal headquarters, knowing he is doing the right thing. On the other end of the door, Black Doom is sitting upon his throne of 100 crushed Sonic fans, and he gets up to try to mind-control Tim. It works for a moment, but Tim breaks free, saying, "Nobody tells me what to do!". Black Doom smacks Tim's beanie away, reducing him to an old, frail, glasses-wearing man. Black Doom knocks Tim over, and closes in on him, while Tim scrambles to get to his beanie. He finally grabs it, places it firmly on his head, and stands up. He overpowers Black Doom, knocking him down, and pulls out his Musical Misflute. He plays Star City from Diddy Kong Racing, and Black Doom evaporates, his tower disapearing with him. Tim finds himself on the ground where the tower ued to be, with Ray, Ray the Squirrel and Wild Woody all with him. They go their seperate ways, Woody finding a new home in a 4th grader's pencil bag, Ray the Squirrel taking up a job as a hangglider, and Tim and Ray go home, resolving to make comics and podcasts together for as long as they live, even if Ray never does find a girlfriend.
Good lord, I feel like I just read the plot for a new Anime/Manga. Could make for a killer 90 minute movie….or 15 episodes if you're going by Dragonball Z rules.

JohnW says:
That, sir, was pure epic win. You desrve comment of the week and a pat on the back.
But wait if you watch after the credits you see an alternate ending where wild Woody erases Black Doom and then grabs the mech suit and crushes The musical misflute. Tim then faints emo ray Does his black doom award and Wild woody Starts singing Yo ho and Ray and Tim lose their hearing. Wild Woody then gets sharpened until he's no more.
by ray the squirrel
Must wait until tomorrow to watch this so I can watch it during car Ride. Can I do it?
NPG; better-than-okay Podcast this week!
The Electric Game is pretty fun. Though when Ray first brought that up, the first thing that came to my mind was DDR (with its techno-electronic music).
Strangely, I thought the "petty" BDA was the worst (best?) Black Doom of the bunch, despite fully agreeing with Tim's choice and the arguments against it. But then again, I haven't looked up Wild Woody yet; might change my mind soon after 😛
Was I the only one who immediately recognized the airport logo (without any kind of research)? Maybe it's just because I've visited Southeast Asia enough times to take it for granted and didn't recognize it as a "subtle" hint (hence didn't mention it in the comic comments earlier).
Who wants to bet that the next Podcast will intro with the Wild Woody song? 😛
Also, 2P START Live needs more Touhou — just sayin' 😀
Micate says:
I totally expected to hear a whistle randomly during that Wild Woody song.
Good to see the podcast going in a humorous direction, plenty of laughter.
1. I wouldn't worry so much about the term "I'm just sayin'." Like anything, it has become annoying with overusage. I admit, I use it for humor, but only for humor. The terms that should receive attention for being annoying is the terms "Fail" and "Epic Fail." First of all, usage of "fail" should be used properly – as in using it as a verb. The only time "fail" can be used as a noun is in stock exchange. Here, "fail" means "a stockbroker's inability to deliver or receive security within the required time after sale or purchase." (Taken from Dictionary.com. Sorry, I'm not by my dictionaries right now.) "Fail" was once used as a noun in the definition: "failure as to performance, occurrence, etc. " However, this has been declared obsolete by numerous dictionaries. Are they trying to revive this definition? Does it even fit into most contexts?
So, does this mean that if I fall down the stairs and someone says: "Hey, he fell down the stairs! Epic fail!" Are they really saying: "Hey, he fell down the stairs! Epic inability to deliver or receive security within the required time after sale or purchase!" Now, if someone can correct me, please do so. I just don't get this whole "fail" trend.
2. Would of thought you guys would talk about rap music some more. I heard an awful, awful rap song that used samples from the song "Time of the Season" by The Zombies. I almost cried in public.
3. If Wikipedia is correct, than the music from Wild Woody was done by Ron Thal or better known as Bumblefoot. Why does that name sound familiar? Let me check some bands I know… Guns N' Roses?!! Oh dear…
I demand a new segment for a different Wild Woody song every week.
Rey Alejandro says:
You should just keep going with this , at least 3 more comics, then pull a Samurai Jack and don't satisfy us and never refer to it ever again. ever. Also, I wanna be a Zombie. Braaaaaiiiiiiiinnnns and all that rot. And I wish I had Sonic in my area. MVC3!!!!
C.Olimar788 says:
That Wild Woody music… wow… just… wow. I'm not sure what else there is to say on the matter!!
Oh man ominous voice at the end of the podcast. What is up with all this ominous stuff and the comic that you didn't explain and wow and I am full of suspense!
I have a couple Musical Misfits. One's from Pokemon and one's from de Blob (I thought there had been a de Blob one already, but I couldn't find any in the archives).

Cyberkid says:
Yup, nothing sez Black Doom quite like a bunch of pirates insulting themselves to Turkey in the Straw.
I still hope that you slip some smaller gags into these serious comics to help even them out.
Thanks for making my comment the RFYG Comment of the Week!
CaRmAgE says:
Now that I am almost done with classes, I finally have the time to RISE FROM MY GRAVE. I first discovered 2P Start when Matt from BitF did a guest strip for you guys. I didn't start getting addicted to the site until podcast 117, though. Since then, I have read all of the comics, and have listened to all of the podcasts. From someone who used to make comics, I have to say that your comics are all impressive. Great job, guys!
Remix: The link in the m4a version says "Zeno Paradise."
Black Doom Award: Wow. That song was awful.
I have one, too. This just makes me feel sad for humanity.

IsaacBrunnel says:
I too am interested in seeing where this comic idea is going. Sounds like you guys coordinated something interesting for the next week or two, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it pans out. Perhaps time paradoxes will ensue!
Despite how connected we seem to be (internet-wise) these days, I'm still pretty disjoint from online gaming. While this is partially due to the fact that I'm a console gamer, I mostly blame my dorm's network, which requires a password login everytime I want to surf the interwebs. My Wii has never gotten past that barricade. I'll have to get my head back into the game once I'm out of here!
Hm, a musical misfit from Diddy Kong Racing…that game was crammed full of extremely catchy tunes. I swear, every time I pop that game back in, I walk away whistling songs from that game for the rest of the day, and then some. Clearly that music was meant to brainwash you into adding to playtime.
I think the end part was either Eddie, Willi, most probably Jon or Jessica with a highly edited voice.
No way, that has to be Charles Martinet.
AT THE GAMESTOP!

Great podcast guys, laughed my head off. "Just sayin'" and "ya'know" are words that I say all the time, which made it even better. Loved the Wild Woody talk too. Looked it up this morning and I've been quoting it all day. Anyways, can't wait 'till Thursday. The suspense is me! 😮
SuperVegeta says:
South Park did a whole deal about the "Just saying", "I'm just asking questions" thing that was a great commentary on the news and how people throw that out there so they can say anything and not get in trouble. If you can disregard the vulgarity of South Park, this should be the link to the episode http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/251890/
Cool the link works. 🙂 Yeah, it's titled Dances with Smurfs where Cartman "Just says" a lot of false things about the student council president and everyone believes it because they are disregarding the "Just saying" part.
Ray's use of clip art for the podcast cover needs to go. Like really really far away.
wazkatango says:
1. Just sayin'.. is a phrase born from people trying so hard not to offend anyone. Obviously, the internet has no trouble offending everyone all the time, so there's not much of a point to saying "Just sayin'". Either say it or not, no dancing around the issue.
2. Steam does DRM right. It seemed really restrictive at first, but after using for a while, it really is much better than everything else out there. You can also play the games you own offline.
3. DKR's music rocks. All of it.
Sir Bladington XIII says:
– The only thing you can complain about with cow bells is there not being enough of them.
– What about your homies Ray? Don't you have homies? I'm just sayin' you need some homies.
– No offense, but your mother is a cow. Just sayin.
– Ray, you're a liar. Just sayin, please don't hurt me. D:
– No one remembers Shake Your Tail Feather? That's it, rampage time.
– Ray is serious, don't watch all the podcasts. I did, and it wasn't horrible, but it took forever.
– Still haven't been acknowledged as a grave riser. Maybe I should stop mentioning it in the middle of huge blocks of podcast text. Otherwise, I may forever sit here covered in dirt saying random crap to everyone who passes by, thus creeping everyone out.
– Good to know Tim will never drink diet soda.
– You actually pronounced my name slightly wrong. It's got a silent e, but Bladeington just looked wrong to me. And your accent wasn't fancy enough. D:<
– Eh, I thought the sound effects were stupidly loud.
– How did Tim not mention MvC3 earlier? That's pretty important news.
– CURSE YOU DRM! Just sayin.
– Future Ray is up against the lack of diagonal walking.
– That song is just… I can only facepalm.
– I was hoping one of the Black Doom awards was going to be about Microsoft saying people are terrified of buttons.
Great podcast guys! I'm glad Tim doesn't drink diet Dr Pepper, I was worried. And I'm glad Ray is a fan of the Blues Brothers.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure those Wild Woody guys were trying to copy Rage Against the Machine, for some odd reason…
jmleleven says:
Wait.. you didn't even mention the only person who noticed that the phone in the comic was a different color? *points to self*
Apparently I can wait until tomorrow as of yesterday.
Tim you forgot your comment of the week. Did Ray edit it out?
I think I started a trend last week with the whole getting you guys distracted during comment of the week.
elah says:
Ok, so my prediction is somewhat less drastic than Person Number 3's, but here goes:
Note: I think the mysterious voicemail from Anon ties in with this mystery.
So, it's around three to five years in the future. 2P START! was dissolved a year and a half previously.
Tim has started a very successful news and commentary service named "Tim's Take." He now has several people that he edits in addition to his own material, including Matt C. and Eddie Hargreaves. He still draws crude joke comics from time to time, but they now star TiMii as opposed to being random. He and Ray are still friends, but both have moved on in their individual lives. Trained by Ray, Lily has become a prodigy at graphic design and she has
occasionally given input on the look and style of the Tim's Take site. Due to the overwhelming success of Tim's Take, Tim now has a college nest egg for both Lily and the boy Sarah is six months pregnant with.
Ray worked his way up the career ladder in graphic design and is now the top exec for the graphic design and recently introduced gaming divisions of Apple. He got together with a bunch of 2P START's biggest fans, including ( but not limited to ) Devon, Anon, Gastronomic Gamer, Metalink, Elah, Gadoink, and GX Echidna. They moved in together at a large mansion outside LA and work at day jobs or go to school, but also work together as one of the top development teams for Apple games. Their many hits include the Jessica and the Silver Eclipse saga (Episode 7: the Fifteenth 28 is in the works), Global Crisis, Inc. (a puzzle-platforming speed-oriented game), New Waves (a keyboard-based music game), and the award-winning Pixel Vision Adventures series. The latest PV episode, subtitled "The Ballad of Time," was the straw that broke the camel's back and catapulted Ray into the Graphic Design and Artistry Hall of Fame. Ray also got back together with Jessica, and they got married. Ray's love inspired him to write a second SIlver Eclipse album, this one contrasting the dark tones of the first with the happier tones reminiscent of "The Jurisdiction in Repetition."
Our story picks up as Tim heads home from a long week of nonstop EGEx (European Games
Expo) coverage, eager to rest up with his wife and spend some time educating Lily about some classic games. However, he will have to wait a little while longer, becuase his plans were interrupted on Thursday by the sudden death of Hideo Kojima as he was about to leave Japan to give a keynote address at EGEx about the future of Metal Gear, and to reveal an all-new project, rumored to be a long-since failed game that was cancelled four years ago. To be honest, Tim feels to tired to be anything but apathetic, but something seems strange about this tragic "accident"…
Meanwhile, Ray has just gotten the congratulatory voicemail from Anon we heard on the podcast as he heads home from his induction ceremony. Little does he realize that a small black Volvo a few blocks behind him is hot on his tail…
Stay tuned for a twisted tale of mystery, prestige, intrigue, wits, and a series of nearly inexplicable events that will bring Tim and Ray back together for one grand finale…
next time on 2P START!
I just remembered, if there was a trend I could just wipe off the face of the Earth, it would be the "That's what she said" jokes. They got old, and they're disgusting. I don't understand why everybody says it all the time!
Drake says:
This is the first time I've listened to one of your podcasts, thought I've been reading the comic since the beginning of last summer. I've commented once on the comic (this week) and figured I'd "rise from my grade" now.
By the way, I assume that this week's comic was the beginning of a more story-themed arc that involves less jokes about video games and more about the characters that you guys have created in Tim and Ray. Can't wait to see the new comic and I'll be listening to the podcast regularly from now on. Keep up the good work.
Great Podcast.
Some internet loot?
Super Mario Cross Over
Bringing back some classic segments :3
Thanks for the podcast.
I laughed so hard the entire episode. So much funny, so little time.
p.s. I have a name suggestion for the video game mystery section, how about CSI: Mushroom Kingdom?
MrMystery says:
I say change the black doom awards to "Wild woody awards". Seriously, Sega has incredible talent for coming up with crap.
Imaster says:
The thing that sticks out in my mind most about this podcast is 'just sayin'. Ironically enough, I've actually picked this phrase up, but in my case it was from a very specific source: Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
"And then I told the guy, 'don't be angry, I'm just Saiyan!'"
Because, you see, the line is a play on the Saiyan race from Dragon Ball Z, and… yeah.
Anyway, I knew that Other M had been delayed, but I didn't realize S+P2 had been delayed as well. Crap! I knew that lineup was too good to be true.
Anyway, another great podcast, looking forward to next week!
Oliby says:
My favorite segment, Off Topic, is back! This is definitely one of your better podcasts, it was funny and Tim sounded much more enthusiastic then normal.
The chime at the beginning sounds a bit like the one the rings when you start up a cartridge of Super Mario All Stars for the SNES.
Next week must have a Black Doom associated with the free Sonic comic on Free Comic Book Day yesterday.
SuperSonicGoku says:

838 whp Mitsubishi Evolution RS
Its rough ride is more punishing than being in the ring with young Mike Tyson, but after a few minutes of driving the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, you will quickly feel like you're the one throwing the punches. There are numerous fast cars on the market, but the Evo 9 has always been described by owners and journalists as an addiction. Despite its basic interior and poor fuel economy, the Evo makes it up the second boost kicks in. If you decide to modify it, the Evolution is more than prepared to melt your face off and give you more and more confidence as your speedometer climbs up. Miguel Mendoza-Hall realized the potential in the CT9A platform and he just had to have one.
Text by Bassem Girgis // Photos by Kareem Girgis
Unmatched Potential
Forget ride quality and poor interior, the magic lies in the 4G63. A small 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, the Evo's engine delivers 276 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 286 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. Although the 276 horsepower may not seem impressive, the 4G63 was constructed from an iron block and aluminum cylinder head. This allowed it to withstands higher power from the small engine with large 85mm bore and 88mm stroke, making it the perfect tuner car. The 4G63 was complemented with an AWD system. The system gave the Evolution its legendary reputation in the Rally world and made it one of the most exhilarating cars to drive. Unfortunately, financial burdens forced Mitsubishi to cease production of their halo car in 2016 and the Evolution can no longer evolve.
The journey for Miguel Mendoza-Hall started on his hour commute in 2009. At the busiest intersection of his daily-drive, Miguel would feel mesmerized by a beautiful red Evo on a rotating display. After weeks of making the drive and staring at the car, he decided to walk in the dealership and see how this car actually drives. Breath-taken by its aggressive performance and precise handling, Mendoza fell in love. He traded-in his VW Golf for the completely stock 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS with just 24,000 miles on its odometer. The hard body lines and tastefully-intrusive exhaust notes were enough to paint a picture in his head, and "stock" was no longer in this red Evo's future.
Living in Colorado, Miguel knew the AWD system would be his best friend when it snows. However, the Evo never really got to see the snow. Mendoza always kept it in his garage far away from any possible harm. He loved the 4G63's low-end torque and weight-reduction of the RS trim, but he didn't like how the car ran out of breath at the top-end. "Looking back at it, it was also "monster truck-ish" in height and the seating position made you feel like you were riding on top of the car," said Miguel Mendoza-Hall. Fortunately, all of the factory shortcomings meant nothing to him, because he was already planning a complete makeover for his newly-acquired Evo.
"My main goal was to keep the car very clean and utilize the beautiful stock body lines," said Mendoza. "I never wanted to go wide-body or severely alter the car's shape." The essence of the build is a street setup that can steal the eyes at car shows, all while being capable of racing when he decides to attack the track. The plans changed as Miguel started his Evo journey, however, and the few engines he went through were just the education he needed to build a high horsepower 4G63. "You learn that cheap parts serve a purpose, but you can't expect long-term results," Miguel reflected.
The Forced Performance Zero turbocharger forces air through a Full Blown Cast 70mm throttle body and into a Fully STM Tuned Skunk 2 Pro Series.
Making Power
Throughout his journey, Miguel surrounded himself with like-minded people that shared the same passion he had. With numerous inspirations and ideas around him, he finally figured out how he could make serious, reliable power. Maintaining the same engine bore, Miguel and Tobz Performance stroked the block to 100mm for a total displacement of 2,324cc. The entire block was precision machined and equipped with aftermarket performance internal parts. Despite looking tame, the Evo delivers a vicious 838 horsepower to the wheels and 774 lb-ft of torque. This power is accomplished using E-85 fuel through the Buschur Racing dual pump fuel system, while running at 38 psi of boost and a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
838 whp @6,500 RPM
Pushing Through Obstacles
At some point, Miguel was struggling financially to the point of giving up on the Evo build. Every time he was stranded on the side of the road meant he had to spend more money on the repairs. However, the smile on his face each time the car accelerated made it all worth the struggle. Instead of giving up each time the Evo broke down, Miguel would take it as a lesson to improve upon in the future and prevent more issues from happening. "I regret not fully understanding JDM parts and availability earlier in the game," Mendoza said. "I've come to realize that JDM parts are not sought after for just their uniqueness, but they are indeed higher quality. I would have preferred to add more expensive JDM parts earlier in the build."
Never-Ending Journey
The exterior remains fairly simple. Miguel knew he can't beat the aggressive factory lines of the Evo. With just the wheels and tires, headlights and taillights, as well as a few classy touches around the exterior, the shell looks exactly the way Miguel wants. As for the interior, Mendoza plans on adding more carbon fiber accents, suede headliner and pillars, as well as a custom audio setup to give it a complete refresh. Under the hood, the 4G63 performs just the way it should, but he plans on performing a complete wire tuck, and rerouting vacuum, boost, and coolant lines to clean up the clutter.
The future remains bright for Miguel and his 838whp Evo. Although the turbocharger and the E85 fuel, along with the supporting components, contributed the most to turning the stock engine into a monstrous street machine, Miguel values every part of the build down to the last nut and bolt. The amount of knowledge he gained and continues to gain through this journey cannot be measured in dollars. Mendoza won the Best Mitsubishi award at the 2018 InstaFame car show for the Street Tuner Mayhem in Colorado, one of many awards to come.

Why Do I Need A Postnup When I Have A Prenup?
Home > Blog > Partition Agreements > Why Do I Need A Postnup When I Have A Prenup?
The primary differences between a prenup and a postnup are in the alternatives if an agreement is not made. A prenup is put together prior to marriage, and a postnup handles the details after the vows have been made.
If no agreement is made on a Prenup, each fiancé may walk away without a divorce or community property to divide. After marriage, the alternatives to reaching agreement are divorce or stay married with no enforceable marital agreement. After marriage, it's not as clear how assets and debts should be allocated. Each spouse may feel entitled to an asset acquired jointly, or might want the other to be responsible for a joint debt.
Postnups allow couples to deal with the important, difficult-to-talk-about issues after the wedding is out of the way, and once the couple has settled into its new routine. It may not sound like a fairy tale, but addressing the tough money and property concerns this way can ensure the charged up, pre-marital emotions don't get in the way.
Marriage isn't getting easier for U.S. couples. Almost half (44 percent) of first marriages end in divorce. The picture is even more dire for couples entering their second marriage, as up to 80 percent of those fail. Clearly, there is a place for nuptial agreements, whether they come before or after the ceremony.
In short, it's much like a prenuptial agreement, only it happens after the wedding. In Texas law a postnup is called a partition and exchange agreement. 4.102 of the Texas Family Code refers to partitioning and exchanging community property into the separate property of each spouse. It is the same as a postnup, a postnuptial, or post-marital agreement.
Many couples don't consider the complex entanglement of financial assets that occurs as soon as both people say "I do." That's not to say that postnuptial agreements are only concerned with money and assets, but that is what they primarily address. In some cases, both parties can come up with some creative additions to an agreement, like a penalty if one commits infidelity.
The only thing that postnuptial agreements may not cover are specifics regarding child custody or limiting child support. A postnuptial agreement can't force a spouse to commit a crime either, but that should go without saying. As for children, courts have decided, wisely, that it's more important to determine what is in the child's best interest at the time the decision is made, rather than just following a contract when a child's well-being is at stake. This same thought process governs child support as well, except that minimum levels of support are enforceable. The agreement cannot limit the amount of support that might be required.
Must be written – Courts will not enforce anything other than a written agreement.
Must be signed – Both spouses will need to sign the agreement, and it should be notarized, but that is not required by law.
Must be agreed upon voluntarily – If one spouse coerces, threatens or deceives the other party to sign the agreement, it will not be recognized by the court. Texas courts have not defined voluntary, but have set the bar high. Threatening to exercise a legal right is not coercion or duress. Telling a spouse to sign a postnup or a divorce will happen does not mean the agreement was signed involuntarily. It is enforceable because a person has the right to seek a divorce.
Must be largely fair – A postnup needs to be (mostly) fair, but Texas law makes it hard to defeat an unfair agreement. To defeat the agreement, it must be both unconscionable when it was signed and there was no disclosure of finances, or a waiver of such disclosure, before signing. "Unconscionable" is undefined. It means the agreement was so bad when it was signed that a judge's conscience will not allow enforcement of it. While this seems subjective, courts will not overturn a marital agreement just because it's unfair.
Must disclose everything – This is the point that is often overlooked. When people enter into marriage, they have a right to know the other spouse's assets, to an extremely fine degree. If every asset is not accounted for, it can jeopardize the agreement's status. Texas law allows the spouses to waive disclosure, but this must be done BEFORE the agreement is signed.
Who should consider a postnuptial agreement?
Spouses that are entering the marriage with major assets – This is usually the reason for putting together a prenup or a postnup. Without a postnup, a divorce can potentially become a withering, and costly, experience for a spouse holding significant assets. In the absence of an agreement, a Texas judge must divide the estate "in a just and right manner," which doesn't necessarily mean equally. Perceptions of fairness differ, so a division one spouse, or a judge, thinks is fair, might seem unjust to the other spouse. A postnup can enumerate which assets belong to whom, so if a divorce does happen, those assets will be granted to the person to whom they are allocated in the postnup. When a spouse dies, the separate assets allocated to that spouse in a postnup will be disposed according to that spouse's Will.
There are children from previous marriages involved – As complicated as marriage makes asset handling, it gets even more complicated when children from previous marriages are present. A postnup can help define which assets are to be left to the children, and which are to be left to the spouse. Otherwise, the spouse may receive assets and parts of the estate that were intended for the children.
An inheritance or retirement benefits are in play – Not all assets are brought into the relationship. If either spouse expects they will eventually be in line for an inheritance or for retirement benefits, then it is best to produce an agreement beforehand. Otherwise, they might become community assets, and not the sole property of the named beneficiary.
Either spouse owns a business – Businesses are also assets, and if a spouse owns one that is or becomes profitable, it also has to be protected. Without a postnup, part of the business or its earnings will likely be given to the other party if a divorce occurs.
Debts and Taxes – A postnup can ensure that the debts or tax liabilities of one spouse are not paid from community funds. Debts and unpaid taxes existing before marriage can be paid by attaching a joint account, or even an individual account of the other spouse if the funds are community. If a spouse wants to start a business during the marriage, and there is risk the business might fail and owe debts or taxes, a postnup can ensure those debts and taxes are paid only by the spouse starting the business. Keep in mind, this would mean that spouse also owns 100% of the business if it is successful.
When determining why you need a postnup when you have a prenup, it's important to understand that the point of a postnup is to clearly define what both sides are entitled to, and to protect those assets in the unfortunate event that a divorce is necessary, or on the death of a spouse. With a postnup each spouse is free to bequeath separate property in a Will without interference. This can help protect children of a prior marriage, or family assets.
Discussing a postnup is not the most romantic topic, but it offers stability and peace of mind, and that's never a bad thing.

The Greatest Dancer 2020 results! Who won? Winner announced in live final
The Greatest Dancer 2020 winner: Who won The Greatest Dancer? Series 2 champion (March 7)
The winner of The Greatest Dancer 2020 has been revealed in Saturday's final (March 7).
It was the sixth and final week of live shows this evening as four acts remained competing for victory,
Dance captains Cheryl, Oti Mabuse, Todrick and Matthew Morrison returned with their contestants in a bid to get them crowned The Greatest Dancer.
It was all down to viewer votes to determine the winner of The Greatest Dancer 2020 for its second series.
The Greatest Dancer results
In the live show on Saturday (March 7), it was ballroom duo Michael & Jowita who won The Greatest Dancer 2020.
The pair, mentored by Oti, beat Team Cheryl's Lily & Joseph and Team Matthew's Harrison Vaughan to the title in the live final.
The couple were left in tears by the result, reacting: "We don't know what to say, thank you all guys for voting and thank Oti for giving us this opportunity."
It was Oti's second win in a row as dance captain. She said: "I am so proud of you two, it could not have gone to two better people."
As The Greatest Dancer winners, Michael & Jowita won a £50,000 cash prize and the opportunity to perform on Strictly Come Dancing later this year.
The Greatest Dancer final started with all four of the final acts performing with their dance captains.
Voting lines then froze and the act with the fewest votes was revealed as Team Todrick's Dancepoint.
The remaining trio of acts went on to dance live again for one last time as voting lines re-opened. It was all down to the viewers at home who would be holding The Greatest Dancer trophy at the end of the night.
Hosts Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo then returned to close the lines for good and announce the winner.
The Greatest Dancer final also saw a special live performance from Paloma Faith singing Mistakes with The Theo Adams Company.
The Greatest Dancer aired on BBC One. Episodes are available to watch online in full via BBC iPlayer.

Toyota announces electric car technology breakthrough, but don't expect Alberta to celebrate
by David J. Climenhaga December 17, 2020 October 5, 2021
The electric vehicle technology breakthrough could have a huge impact on the demand for Alberta's number one non-agricultural product: oil.
Word about solid-state batteries out of Toyota City last week created a buzz in the automotive press and got some headlines on social media, but I doubt very many people out here in Wild Rose Country paid much attention.
They probably should've.
Because when the world's largest automaker — which has been very quiet about its plans to build electric cars — announces a major breakthrough in electric-vehicle technology, it just can't be good news for a place with an economy as heavily dependent on fossil fuels as Alberta's.
Now, large auto manufacturing companies are forever touting minor technological innovations as if they were the greatest thing since Henry Ford installed that production line at Highland Park, Michigan, in 1913.
What's interesting about Toyota's announcement is that it seems to have been made late in the process, not right after some technician in a corporate skunk works identified something cool that might, someday, somehow make some money.
It seems to have been slipped into an announcement about a new electric vehicle for the European market to be made by Toyota in partnership with Subaru Corp. and took the form of, oh, by the way, we're about to introduce a new technology that will solve the key problems with EVs, short range and slow recharging times. And we'll be selling it by 2025.
If true, there go the two biggest barriers to electric vehicle sales.
Toyota Motor Corp. is a very conservative company. When even companies like General Motors Corp. were spending billions on radical new approaches to manufacturing cars and trucks in the 1980s, Toyota stuck with implementing a stream of tiny refinements to production lines not all that conceptually different from the one built by Ford in 1913.
When Tesla Inc. found a way to make electric cars appeal to rich people at the same moment as environmentalists and Green governments were starting to tout electric motors as a panacea for automotive pollution and fossil fuel demand, Toyota played its cards very close to its vest.
Meanwhile, what electric cars got built were mostly luxury vehicles that cost a lot (north of $50,000 in Canada for a "base" Tesla Model 3), didn't go very far compared to a similar car with an internal combustion engine, and took hours to fully recharge.
EVs are really fast. But just like cars with ICE engines, the faster you go, the more juice you use — limiting your already limited range.
In other words, you couldn't afford one, and even if you won the lottery and could, you couldn't drive it to your new condo in Vancouver without cooling your jets in two or three places as nice as Kamloops, for a few hours each time.
So if you were someone like Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, who presides over our province's slumping fossil fuel industry with vows to make Alberta great again, you could pooh-pooh the idea that electric motors would ever really replace internal combustion engines and maintain with some credibility that there would always be lots of demand for Alberta's "ethical" oil.
Solid state batteries use substances like ceramics to replace the liquified electrolyte solutions — think battery acid — in lithium-ion batteries like Tesla's. Toyota says its solid state batteries will double the range of its EVs over cars with li-ion batteries, can be completely charged in 10 minutes (!), and will be less likely to burst into flames.
So far, of course, that could just be car industry hype. It's been known to happen, and if you've followed the car business as I have — once upon a time I covered the Canadian auto industry for The Globe and Mail, and my big success was predicting 30 years ago that steel bodies and ICE engines would still be around in 20 years — you've seen a lot of fantastic claims disappear like so much smoke.
But as Tesla proved, electric cars that work are a thing already. And Toyota isn't a company that races into new technology — its history is one of refining big ideas other people had until they work really well.
Toyota said it will create a working prototype next year — which, in case you've forgotten, is only 15 days away. It has more than 1,000 patents with partner Panasonic Corp. to protect the new product — and presumably generate licensing deals with other vehicle manufacturers.
Equipment manufacturers in Japan are reported to be installing equipment now to build solid-state batteries in 2021.
And by the way, Volkswagen AG, the world's second-largest automaker, is also working on a solid state battery.
So why does this matter here in oil country?
Well, obviously, such a technology would have a huge impact on the demand for our number one (and virtually only) non-agricultural product, the stuff that supposedly made Alberta "great."
With many countries actively trying to transition from fossil fuel transportation to electricity, it would dramatically reduce consumer resistance to electric vehicles.
If this technology is real — and it sure sounds as if it is — it can't be stopped by an energy war room, no matter how much you spend on it, or by pretending the Rockefellers and a bunch of "foreign funded environmentalists" have cooked up an "anti-Alberta" conspiracy.
It's the market, stupid! We can diversify or we can die. Pipelines? We're not going to need 'em.
I can't offer much comfort about this to the I-[HEART]-Alberta-Oil crowd. What can I say, except maybe … it's probably bad news for Tesla too?

Q: Length sign conversion in math mode I am setting up a document that outputs an equation, with some parts showing or not showing depending on commands i set in a different file.
the commands look like this:
\newcommand\coefficient{1.25}

I want this coefficient to show in the equation if it is non-zero and not 1 or -1. If it is positive, it should output as -1.25 (change sign).
So far, I'm doing it like this:
\documentclass[border=10pt,convert={density=300,size=1080x800,outext=.png}]{standalone}
\input{coefficients.tex}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$\displaystyle
y(k) =
\ifdim\dimexpr\coefficient pt =0pt
\else
\ifdim\dimexpr\coefficient pt >0pt
+
\else
\fi
\ifdim\dimexpr\coefficient pt=1pt
\else
\ifdim\dimexpr\coefficient pt=-1pt
-
\else
\coefficient
\fi
\fi
x(k-1)
\fi
+ 5
$
\end{document}

What this does is displaying the value when it is not 0, 1, or -1, showing a - if it is -1, and not showing the x(k-1) part in case the value is 0.
Now for my equation, i would like to change the sign so that every positive value defined in the command outputs as negative in the equation and every negative value outputs as positive (which is harder).
How can i do this (preferrably without using additional packages) ?

A: You could do it without additional packages, but why?
\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xfp} % also loads expl3

The *-version is for the first coefficient to print: if it is positive, the + sign should be omitted.

A: Here's a solution that does what you want. Unfortunately, it's not possible to do floating point math with a sane input scheme without loading a package, so this command can't do any arithmetic.

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), T-Mobile revealed that approximately 37 million customers had their data exposed in a breach. T-Mobile used the term "bad actor" was able to obtain data through "a single Application
Programming Interface" or API.
What Data was Exposed?
T-Mobile stated that their systems and their network was not breached and that they have been able to contain the "malicious activity". In the SEC filing, the Bellevue based company revealed that the API that was affected held a limited amount of data.

That data encompassed name, billing address, email, phone number, date of birth, T-Mobile account number as well as the number of lines and plan features
on customer's accounts. To this point Social Security numbers, Tax ID numbers, Drivers License information, PINs, financial information, and passwords appear to be safe.
T-Mobile reported to the SEC that they believe the hacker breached the API somewhere around November 25th. The company is still investigating the breach and collecting associated information, but they have begun notifying customers that have been impacted.

This Isn't the First Time T-Mobile Has Been Hacked
In fact, it's the 8th time since 2018. In 2021 roughly 80 million people were impacted by a breach that saw Social Security Numbers and Driver's License information fall into the wrong hands. That breach cost the company around $350 million as a result of a class action lawsuit. In 2022 they were breached again by a hacking group but no sensitive information was gained. T-Mobile announced after the 2021 breach that they would invest approximately $150 million to improve security measures.
LOOK: Best Beers From Every State
To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.
