Gunnar Nordström (Helsinki 1881. március 12. – Helsinki, 1923. december 24.) finn elméleti fizikus, aki gravitációelméletéről ismert, ami az általános relativitáselmélet korai versenytársa volt. Az újabb szakirodalomban Nordströmot gyakran nevezik "a finn Einstein"-nak, mivel újszerű munkásságát Einsteinhez hasonló területen és hasonló módszerekkel fejtette ki.

Tanulmányai és pályafutása

Nordström 1899-ben végezte el Helsinkiben a belvárosi Brobergska Skolan gimnáziumot. Először a Helsinki Műszaki Főiskolán (utóbb Helsinki Műszaki Egyetem, ma az Aalto Egyetem része) gépészmérnöki tanulmányokat folytatott. Tanulmányai közben felébredt az érdeklődése az elméletibb jellegű tárgyak iránt, így diplomaszerzés után 1903 és 1907 között a Helsinki Egyetemen folytatta mesterfokon természettudományok, matematika és közgazdaság szakon.

Ezután Nordström Németországba, Göttingenbe utazott, ahol azt tanácsolták neki, hogy fizikai kémiát tanuljon. Hamarosan azonban elvesztette érdeklődését a szakterület iránt, és inkább elektrodinamikát tanult, amelyről a Göttingeni Egyetem akkoriban híres volt. Visszatérve Finnországba, 1910-ben megvédte a doktori értekezését a Helsinki Egyetemen, és az egyetem docense lett. A továbbiakban a gravitáció új és hamarosan virágzó területe nyűgözte le, és Hollandiába akart költözni, ahol a szakterületnek olyan tudósai dolgoztak, mint Hendrik Lorentz, Paul Ehrenfest és Willem de Sitter. Orosz útlevelének köszönhetően 1916-ban, az első világháború közepén sikerült Leidenbe költöznie, ahol Ehrenfels irányítása alatt dolgozott. Nordström hosszabb időt töltött Leidenben, ahol megismerkedett egy fizikát tanuló holland diáklánnyal, Cornelia van Leeuwennel, akitől utóbb több gyermeke született. A háború után visszautasított egy professzori állást a Berlini Egyetemen, (amelyet aztán Max Born nyert el,) hogy visszatérjen Finnországba, és ott a Helsinki Műszaki Egyetemen előbb a fizika, később a mechanika professzora legyen.

Nordström sikerének egyik kulcsa az volt, hogy képes volt alkalmazni a fizikában a differenciálgeometriát; ez egy újfajta megközelítés volt, ami végül is elvezette Albert Einsteint az általános relativitás elméletéhez. Akkoriban elég kevés tudós volt képes ezt az új analitikus eszközt használni, Ernst Lindelöf figyelemre méltó kivételével.

Elméleti munkássága
A Leidenben töltött idő alatt Nordtröm megoldotta a gömbszimmetrikus testek Einstein-egyenleteit, kiterjesztve Hans Reissner eredményeit. A statikus töltéseloszlás metrikáját ma Reissner–Nordström-metrika néven ismerik. Nordström gyakori kapcsolatot tartott fenn a kor más nagy fizikusaival, beleértve Niels Bohrt és Albert Einsteint. Bohrnak köszönhető például, hogy ki tudta kerülni a Németországból Finnországba érkező levelek orosz cenzúrázását. (Finnország akkoriban az Orosz Birodalom nagyhercegsége volt).

Nordström életében legfőképpen a gravitációelmélete által vált híressé, amelyre hosszú időn át Einstein általános relativitáselméletének versenytársaként tekintettek. Einstein 1915-ben tette közzé elméletét, Nordström után. 1914-ben Nordström egy új térbeli dimenzióval egészítette ki elméletét, ami lehetővé tette az elektromágnességgel való összekapcsolását. Ez volt az első húrelmélet, amely később Kaluza–Klein-elmélet néven vált ismertté. Kaluza és Klein, akiknek a nevéhez ma az elmélet kötődik, csak az 1920-as években publikálták munkájukat. Egyesek úgy tartják, hogy Nordström neve azért merült feledésbe, mert elméletét részben svéd nyelven tette közzé, és mert Einstein egy későbbi munkájában egyedül Kaluzára hivatkozott.

Nordström gravitációelmélete a későbbi kísérletek fényében alulmaradt Einstein elméletével szemben, mivel nem jelezte előre a fény elhajlását, amelyet az 1919-es napfogyatkozáskor figyeltek meg. Mindenesetre Nordström és Einstein barátságos versenyben álltak, és bizonyos mértékig együtt is működtek, nem voltak egymás riválisai. Nordström nyilvános tisztelője volt Einstein munkásságának, amelyet azzal bizonyított, hogy kétszer is javasolta fizikai Nobel-díjra a relativitás elméletéért. Einstein nem kapott Nobel-díjat az elméletéért, mert az első kísérleti igazolást 1919-ben még vitatták, és a tudományos közösségben nem volt egyetértés az Einstein, Nordström és mások által kifejlesztett komplex matematikai modelleket illetően. Nordström skalárelméletét ma főleg pedagógiai eszközként használják az általános relativitáselmélet tanításakor.

Ma Nordström munkásságát még Finnországban sem ismerik széles körben. Halála után azonban több finn fizikus és matematikus szánta idejét a relativitáselmélet és differenciálgeometria tanulmányozására, feltehetőleg az ő hatására.

Halála
Nordström 1923 decemberében hunyt el B12-hiányos vérszegénységben. Elképzelhető, hogy a betegséget a radioktív anyagok okozták, amelyekkel Nordström kísérletezett, illete egy rádiumban gazdag forrás vizével való szaunázás. Publikációi között van egy 1913-as, amely a különböző finnországi források és vizek "radioaktív sugárzási erejének" mérésével foglalkozott.

Főbb publikációi
Pályafutása során Nordström 34 cikket és tanulmányt jelentetett meg tudományos folyóiratokban német, finn, holland és svéd nyelveken, Valószínűge Nordström volt az első, aki Finnország nyelveinek egyikén a relativitás elméletéről írt.

Affordable Muscle: Why Dodge is the People's Automaker
Chrysler, Mopar, Dodge. Call it what you want. But over the past decade, they did something incredible. They saw that the American people wanted affordable muscle cars, so the Mopar gang stuck two flaming middle fingers in the air and said:
Hey America, do you want 500 horsepower? Have it for the price of a minivan!
There's never been a better—or cheaper—time to have a really fast car.
But they didn't stop there. The saints in the Dodge design department stuck their monster motors into just about everything. Then they gave it to the drooling masses for the same price as a mid-size SUV. Here's how it happened and why Dodge loves giving us what we want.
Early Muscle Car Resurgence
The mid-2000s saw the resurgence of the American muscle car in the form of the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro. These cars came with nostalgic styling, which was a massive improvement over the earlier bubble cars.
Then came the Dodge Challenger in 2007, with its retro exterior and throwback front clip. To many gearheads, it was immediately apparent that the Challenger stood out. It had great potential, but it wasn't perfect just yet.
At the time, the Challenger was fundamentally still a crash-era Chrysler product. Reliability was 'meh,' and the interior styling was dated. On the outside, it was a cool car. But the pre-FCA Challenger was essentially just a kitted-up 300 with nicer lines.
Americans choked on record-high fuel prices when the economy took a nosedive. The 'experts' said that the public was more interested in efficiency than flashy power. Chrysler was dead, and GM was drowning in a sea of debt and brittle plastic. Even Ford was feeling the heat, and it seemed like the era of big V8s and fun domestic cars was over.
Testing the Water
Fiat bought the majority stake of Chrysler in 2011. Many of us thought the event marked the end of interesting Dodge products. After all, how could a company that makes Little Tikes cars for grown-ups save Mopar?
Oh, how wrong we were.
Around the same time, engineers at Chrysler were scheming. In 2011, with the intent of bringing the limited production SRT8 to a wider market, they took a modified 6.4-liter HEMI and stuck it in a Challenger. The new engine unapologetically displaced 392 cubic inches, harkening back to the legendary days of the 1960s and 1970s horsepower wars.
In previous years, 'big daddy' challengers were only available in limited quantities domestically. SRT8s came with a 6.1-liter V8, which was respectable but nothing that a few grand and a carbureted 454 couldn't squash.
But the 6.4 was different. This modified HEMI block barked out 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, and it now occupied a familiar body style at a price comparable to entry-level sports imports. The new SRT8 was a fast and popular model, and it hailed the beginning of a spectacular brand comeback.
Dodge Hellcat Changes the Game
Thanks to the SRT8, Dodge's reputation and sales rose steadily. Driving a Mopar was respectable again. The Challenger and the Charger were no longer copies of earlier and greater cars—they were true performance machines.
Fast forward to 2014. Automakers were experimenting with anemic eco-engines and turbocharged sixes. Ford and Chevy were hanging out in stuffy boardrooms collecting carbon credits and further eroding their selection of cool motors.
Oh boy. A 1.1-liter quad-turbo v3 engine with all-cylinder deactivation and auto start/stop. How exciting.
But while GM and F were busy cutting coupons, those salivating Dodge engineers were at it again with their pencils. In a burst of patriotic zeal, Dodge ripped the filter off its cigarette and nuked the market with something amazing:
A blown 6.2L HEMI in a production sedan.
Overnight, America's most powerful production car was available to the public. You could have a Hellcat with two or four doors, an automatic or manual transmission, and whatever luxuries you wanted.
An affordable muscle car with 700 horsepower was in a showroom near you. And if the $78,000 bill was too high, you could have a 485-horsepower Scat Pack for half the price. Dealerships ate it up.
"Have cloth seats. Have leather seats. Add a shaker hood or pinstripes. Hell, we'll put your goddam name on the side. Can we interest you in a complimentary muffler delete?"
The 2015 model came with a bold facelift which retained the best styling elements of previous years. The interior was perfected with an exciting redesign and a tasteful retro touch.
The Challenger and the Charger were now perfect.
The public was eager to throw money at the fastest cars they'd probably ever own. And as their popularity increased, an entirely new car culture formed around America's most affordable muscle cars.
Affordable Muscle Cars: Horsepower for the People
Today, there's a Dodge product for everyone. The R/T is the new Plymouth Duster for teenagers, and serious car guys love the affordable 392 Scat Pack. And you're sure to see Hellcat roll by from time to time.
The Challenger is perfect for single guys, and it's permanently cemented into the cultural zeitgeist as a 'cool' car. The Charger is a practical sedan with unrivaled power potential. Even Jeep rode the wave, and now you can get a Grand Cherokee with a Hellcat engine.
In 2021, you'll find cheap new muscle cars in widespread use by the general public and a far greater number at street races and car shows.
Dodge also cracked the social media code by showing people what they actually wanted to see: Badass affordable muscle cars drifting through clouds of tire smoke, calling out to the average person as if to say, "this could be you." And for the first time in decades, it really could be.

What Twitter has learned from observing the top Canadian brands
From Bell to No Name, #TwitterNext's Jamie Michaels shares what the top players say about the state of media.
By Bree Rody
For the first time, Twitter Canada has chosen its top brands of the year through its #TwitterNext team.
The selection highlights brands that have used the platform in unique and effective ways. But Jamie Michaels, who leads the #TwitterNext team in Canada, says choosing the top brands led to a lot of learnings about the state of branding and media in 2019 beyond the platform.
The winners were chosen with a mix of hard metrics and some more "subjective" factors."
One of the most emblematic brands for Michaels was Bell, which was awarded Best Purpose Driven Launch for the #BellLetsTalk campaign. While the mental health awareness campaign has increasingly leveraged Twitter over the years, Michaels pointed out that the most-Retweeted post on the platform in Canada this year was a #BellLetsTalk Tweet.
Another Canadian brand that has become recognizable on an international stage won Best Pre-Launch Tease. In anticipation of its fifth season, CBC series Schitt's Creek gave fans an exclusive look behind-the-scenes on the platform, while also using the cast to tease a sneak-peek video of the upcoming episodes. Michaels says the team behind the show used custom technology to create a "Tweet subscription program." "I think they really paid attention to what the conversations online were about – people were trying to predict what would happen in the show, anticipating plotlines."
It also awarded Budweiser with Best Way to Fuel Fans with its sponsorship of the Professional Women Hockey Players Association earlier this year. It used the platform to Tweet stories of female hockey players affected by the lack of funding, and to create a rallying cry for its sponsorship video. That was part of the brand's broader #LayItOnTheLine campaign, which encouraged hockey fans to apply for its Chief Hockey Officer role.
Michaels says Budweiser should be looked at as a brand that tried to create an impact beyond impressions by generating "those watercooler conversations."
"Yes, [Budweiser] has a lot of views on the videos, but the goal was about generating conversation around a relevant issue. That's why we're not just all about numbers, because sometimes the biggest impact is off the platform," he said.
The watercooler factor is one thing, he says, but there has to be a sense of long-termism to social strategy. "I find the ones that can get a line on both [watercooler conversation and long-term brand-building] are the most successful."
Michaels says there are brands that have also generated watercooler conversation in a negative way – like a "certain bike company," he said – but there are ones that can play the long game by observing trends and being reactive. "Some of the best players in social are constantly listening, brands like Wendy's… You can join in conversations in the right way to drive business results."
Best Use of Creators went to Samsung Canada, which worked in partnership with Director X to create an original new content series exclusive to Twitter. The series paired the music video director with three up-and-coming Canadian directors to create content on Samsung's new phone. Michaels noted that he's seen an industry shift away from a focus on the term "influencers" and more toward "creators," a term he said was chosen deliberately for the category. He noted that Director X (whose following is in the tens of thousands) was able to use his skills in a way that was relevant. "It's about the art and the talent."
Michaels says broader influencer campaigns that are chosen purely on follow count can "feel a little empty" and that broad reach is less relevant now. "At the end of the day, you have paid media where you can target the exact audience you want, so the organic part is shifting to be a bit more of a bonus."
Best New Launch went to Michaels' personal favourite brand, No Name. Although the brand has been around for decades, this year marked its official launch on social. With its Twitter strategy managed entirely in-house, the brand took its aggressively straightforward approach a step further and gained more than 23,000 followers in a short time, generating significant organic conversation.
He says "this was really the year of brand voice… It begs for a lot more conversation about what that brand did. I think a lot of Canadians thought No Name was funny, the way it just named things what they were… what they didn't realize was that No Name had a sense of humour too."
Other winners included CIBC Aventura Visa for Best Only On Twitter Launch for its partnership with Food Network Canada for its original series #Destination Dishes, with travel destinations chosen via Twitter polls. McDonald's Canada won Best Connection to Culture for its capitalization on the Toronto Raptors buzz with its #BeyondTheArch campaign.
Nissan Canada won Best Digital to Physical Activation for its Twitter-exclusive Grey Cup contest, which saw prize packs delivered to winners' homes in real-time using Nissan vehicles, including four Samsung television sets. Finally, Elections Canada won Best Use of Twitter Products, which used the Twitter reminder action to encourage voters to get out on election day, and directed them to its official website to register to vote.

Review: Mission Impossible – Fallout
Mission Impossible: Fallout is the sixth film in the Mission Impossible franchise, and it is impossibly good. It is rare that a franchise this long is able to surpass itself with every installment, but Fallout proves that summer blockbusters can be both fun and great by giving us the best film in the franchise. It is a film that shares some of the strengths of recent action greats such as Mad Max: Fury Road and Sicario, while staying true to the Mission Impossible series.

Mission Impossible: Fallout is the sixth film in the Mission Impossible franchise, and it is impossibly good. It is rare that a franchise this long is able to surpass itself with every installment, but Fallout proves that summer blockbusters can be both fun and great by giving us the best film of the franchise. It is a film that shares some of the strengths of recent action greats such as Mad Max: Fury Road and Sicario, while staying true to the Mission Impossible series.
After the capture of Solomon Lane, the remains of The Syndicate organization have formed a terrorist group for hire named The Apostles. Fallout follows Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) as he tries to recover three plutonium cores before The Apostles acquires them. Hunt's team comprised by Luther (Ving Rhames), and Benji (Simon Pegg) is joined by CIA agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) when they are assigned a mission to go to Paris to intercept the sale of the plutonium cores between the White Widow (Vanessa Kirby), an art dealer who has contacts in foreign governments, and The Apostles.
The plot of the film is mostly a vehicle for the action, and it features a nice set of plot-twists that, even when unrealistic, provide for great entertainment. It is rare for an action film to sustain itself for 150 minutes, and Fallout is only able to do so because it frames the action in the movie around character motivations that feel realistic and earned. The cinematography, score and editing make scenes that could very well be cliche feel fresh and exciting. The scene before they jump off the plane when they arrive in Berlin could very well have been another boring set up scene for the action to come but it is presented as an incredibly astute lead up to what is one of the most surprisingly exciting scenes of the movie. In Fallout, the excitement isn't always traditional, and that makes feel a six-movie long franchise, feel fresh and still relevant.
The Mission Impossible franchise is known as a playground for Tom Cruise to showcase his stunt skills. He is known for insisting on performing his own stunts even if that means risking his own life. This is the man who broke his ankle while jumping from one rooftop to another but continued going to finalize shooting the scene; the guy who insisted on jumping from a helicopter in a sequence that took two years to plan, six weeks to shoot and made director McQuarrie lose sleep because he couldn't burden the fact that Cruise could easily die while doing it. This determination to continue to improve the stunts in every movie of the franchise and avoid using a green screen as a shortcut, elevates Cruise above other action film stars. And, it pays off big time, by providing some of the most jaw-dropping sequences we have seen on the big screen to date.
When it comes to the supporting cast, this movie excels. We have seen many of these cast members before, such as Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Sean Harris, Alec Baldwin, and Rebecca Ferguson. But, it is the addition of Vanessa Kirby as White Widow, Henry Cavill as August Walker, and Angela Bassett as Erica Sloane that differentiate Fallout from other Mission Impossible movies. Kirby is incredibly well casted as White Widow and one of my favorite roles in this movie, and Cavill is a surprise here too delivering time after time in an opposing role to Cruise's Ethan Hunt. Angela Bassett's role is brief but it is both satisfying and promising for the next chapters of the franchise.
Mission Impossible: Fallout is so great because it knows when to walk and when to run, but be warned that when it runs, you will be catching your breath. Fallout is packed with phenomenal action scenes and some of the best stunts you'll ever see on the big screen, and its surprisingly strong script, remarkable cinematography, and great cast makes it one of the best films of 2018. Even for action movie skeptics, Fallout has plenty to offer, and it has already proven itself as a film you simply can't miss.
Rating: ★★★★½

10 Things You Didn't Know about Marianne Williamson
Dana Hanson-Firestone 4 years ago
In November 2018, author, lecturer, and social activist Marianne Williamson announced her intention to run in the 2020 presidential campaign. A straight-up, progressive Democrat, Williamson has called for an increase in the federal minimum wage, a reduction in income inequality, a "Medicare for All", and a serious commitment to tackling climate change. So far, she's received a mixed reception; although many have come out in support of her liberal blend of politics and spirituality, others have raised concerns over her political capabilities, her somewhat left-field approach to vaccines, and whether anyone who's been hailed as a "spiritual legend" by Gwyneth Paltrow is really fit to be president. For 10 quickfire facts about the presidential hopeful, read on.
1. She's a college drop-out
Williamson was born in Houston, Texas in 1952 as the youngest of three children to Samuel Williamson, an immigration lawyer, and Sophie Ann Kaplan, a homemaker. After finishing high school, Williamson enrolled in a theatre and philosophy course at Pomona College in Claremont, California. She managed to put in two years at the college before dropping out, moving to New York and trying her luck as a cabaret singer. The venture ultimately failed, and after a brief sojourn in San Francisco, Williamson headed back to her home town of Houston.
2. She's always had connections
Williamson has had a connection to the spiritual since a young age. "When she was a baby of 3 or so, I would come in to kiss her goodnight," her mother, Sophie Ann, shared with People. "Half the time she'd be sitting in her bed with her eyes closed and her little hands clasped under her chin, and she'd say, 'Go away, Mommy. I'm talking to God.'
3. Her move to Los Angles was her breakthrough
After dropping out of college, Williamson spent several years in the wilderness, trying out numerous ventures (including running a metaphysical bookstore, singing Gershwin standards at Houston's nightclubs, and even flirting briefly with marriage) with varying degrees of success. In 1983, with no job and limited funds, she packed her bags and headed to Los Angeles. It was here that her lifelong interests in the spiritual and the theatrical finally found their true expression, and Williamson quickly began to make a name for herself with her unique brand of self-help/ spirituality/ pop psychology.
4. She published her first book in 1992
In 1992, Williamson published the first of what would turn out to be many books, "A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles". The book enjoyed huge success on its initial release, spending 39 weeks in total on the New York Time's Bestseller list, and 11 weeks at number one on the Publishers Weekly non-fiction best-sellers list. Although many have credited it with bringing New Age wisdom into the mainstream, others have dismissed it as a tasteless, or, as John Podhoretz put it " a work of surpassing vulgarity in a surpassingly vulgar field."
5. She's a controversial leader
Back in the early 1990s, Williamson's leadership style was questioned when tales from former employees emerged suggesting Williamson's out-of-control ego, abrasive, micro-management style, and habit of alienating her allies were undermining the efforts of her various charities. "Marianne is a tyrant. She's cruel–unnecessarily–and very controlling," one former associate told People "It doesn't mean that her works aren't great. They are. But her own ego is going to destroy her."
6. David Geffen funded the Los Angeles Center for Living
During the HIV/ AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, Williamson came up with the idea of the Los Angeles Center for Living, a community designed to provide psychological and emotional support to people living with the disease. Williamson drew on her famous friends for the financial support needed to launch the project, and in 1987, she opened the center with the backing of music mogul David Geffen. Two years later, Geffen contributed another $50000 in seed money to open a sister- center in Manhattan.
7. She doesn't like to be called a New Age guru
Williamson's brand of spirituality has often led the media to label her a "New Age guru"- a title she doesn't take too kindly. "The press creates a caricature," she told the LA Weekly " 'New Age guru… first of all, what is the suggestion here, that the 'old age' is working?" "I've never worn a velvet scarf in my life," she went on to say. "You label somebody 'New Age,' and that's automatic mockery: 'She cannot possibly be a serious thinker.'
8. She's friends with the rich and famous
Ever since her early days, Williamson has attracted the attention and support of some of the world's most famous names: Elizabeth Taylor was such a close friend Williamson was asked to officiate at her wedding to Larry Fortensky; Nelson Mandela read one of her prayers in his inaugural address in 1994; she joined Bill and Hilary Clinton at Camp David during the former's presidency; record producer David Geffen contributed the financial support needed to launch two of her earliest projects; Oprah Winfrey was the first talk show host to invite Williamson to appear on TV, and has remained a close friend ever since; Laura Dern has been part of her friendship circle ever since the two shared a room at college… the list goes on.
9. She was forced to apologize over vaccines
At a Democratic debate in June, Williamson incited controversy after she called mandatory vaccines "draconian" and "Orwellian". "To me, it's no different than the abortion debate," Williamson said. "The U.S. government doesn't tell any citizen, in my book, what they have to do with their body or their child." In response to the fallout, Williamson hastily retracted her comments, telling the LA Times: "I understand that many vaccines are important and save lives, I also understand some of the skepticism that abounds today about drugs which are rushed to market by Big Pharma. I am sorry that I made comments which sounded as though I question the validity of life-saving vaccines. That is not my feeling and I realize that I misspoke."
10. She has a daughter
In 1990, Williamson gave birth to her first and only child, a daughter named India Emma. Williamson has never revealed the identity of India's father, or indeed, said very much about her daughter. "My daughter lives in London, and that is about as far as I will go in discussing her," she told LA Mag. "So be it."

I am from a small town in northern Missouri called Marceline. It is just a small town like many others, maybe a bit special for being known as "the boyhood home of Walt Disney". I went to Walt Disney Elementary School, played in Walt Disney Park and swam at the Walt Disney Swimming Pool. I love being connected to him in this small way!
With the recent weather we have had here in Missouri, it reminded me of a series of tornados we had in 1966. My dad was fascinated with weather and we would often watch lightening from our front porch and marvel in its beauty. Dad would warn us about the dangers of being out in the weather, all while we were "out in the weather."
One time we were getting softball sized hail and dad took Tammi and me out to watch it. The hail came down hard but slow, only a few per minute. I convinced Tammi to run out and get one and she got clobbered but good on the head by one of the hailstones. My dad scolded her but let her keep the hailstone wrapped in plastic. I think my mom just got rid of it a few months ago.
Another time dad and I watched a tornado form and touch down just a few blocks from us. We saw it hit a tree and I remember dad yelling... Get downstairs! I remember trying to get the door open to the cellar and dad had to do it. We could hear what sounded like a freight train. I remember dad being right behind me and pulling the door down and latching it. Mom yelled at dad for having me out in the storm but dad just laughed. It was a close call but we didn't tell mom how close.
There were other tornados and wild windy storms but I don't remember dad letting us do much after that tornado. I think it scared him as much as it did mom!
Your Dad sounds like the adventurous type.
I was at the wedding of a very good friend who was marrying a meteorologist. As it would happen there was a huge summer storm that day. All of his meteorolgist buddies were at the window oo-ing and ah-ing at the storm while we should have been headed to the reception. We still laugh about that 20 + years later.
Stay safe, Terri and Bob!
I love being in the weather, got it from MY grandpa...we once watched a tornado from the front porch and my grandma in the background screaming "Dwight you get that baby in here right now!" That baby was 8 years old and I worshipped Daddy Dwight with my heart in my eyes all his life...how amazing that Walt Disney is from your hometown...another man I admired greatly. LOL and my sister Toni is a teacher...we have so much in common!
You sound like me - I have so many wonderful stories about my DAD!! Those are just the greatest!! I have never been afraid of weather, but I have never been in anything major - we have had some pretty good rains here in Shreveport lately, the schools were even closed today - like 10 inches in 12 hours!! But the sun is out now - so maybe we will dry up soon!!
I think I would like your dad! LOL What wonderful memories for you!
Hi Terri! I have never even come close to being near a tornado and I don't ever want to!
Actually, my husband and kids also dodged a few "hail" balls themselves while here at home...much to my disapproval...I guess once you become a mom...you forget how to be as adventurous as you were as a kid...or you actually have things to worry about.
Loved the trip down both of our "memory" lanes...thanks for sharing!
I've lived through two scary tornados. The first one was in (I believe) 1976 in Sedalia. I was in the 1st grade and at school. Luckily, mom was teaching down the hall, so I got to join her class.
We had to wait at school with one of her students long after everyone else had gone home.
They couldn't find this student's mother, and their house had been demolished. Scary stuff!
Good morning, Terri! I love Missouri! Wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I remember watching storms as a child. We absolutely love watching them at the lake. It's a whole different feeling.
Enjoyed this post so much!
It always seems like the guys stay outside to see the weather while the mom's and kids hunker in the shelter. I remember my boys and I collecting hail stones, but smaller ones about a quarter in diameter. They always have such interesting designs in them. We'd put them in the freezer for a long time. I am glad you are safe these days. Have a wonderful weekend. Are you out for the summer, yet?
What a fabulous connection to Walt Disney and the storm watching is right up my alley. I'd rather be outside looking at the clouds then sitting inside wondering if a tornado is on it's way. We just had 11 in Macon about 30 minutes up the road - not all that common here in GA.
Just checking in to see if you are okay and hoping you're having a wonderful Sunday!
Weather fascinates me. It can brings such joy and happiness and also create terror and sadness.
Your dad sounds like a loveable character.

Calls for removal of energy obstructions
dung Business 332 Views
As Vietnam strives to ensure sufficient energy sources, it has been urged by the international community to enable private investors to engage more in the country's energy industry.
Vietnam is among those hardest-hit by climate change, but renewables investment is slow
Last Wednesday, Hanoi hosted an event of high significance: the launch of the "Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius" by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report was approved only a few days prior, and Vietnam was selected as the first country to share this important research.
According to the IPCC, the event was important for Vietnam, as the country is one of the countries in the world to be hit hardest by climate change. It also remains at a slow pace in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enabling private investors to invest heavily into renewable energy (RE) projects. It is acknowledged the country can attract more of this type of investment if it removes obstructions against investors.
Caitlin Weisen, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) country director in Vietnam, said that the country has great potential for RE. Vietnam can deploy at least 85 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaic generation capacity and 21GW of wind energy generation well before 2050, showing that a low-carbon pathway is possible. The combined total technical capacity (126 GW) is an equivalence of 80 per cent of Vietnam's total installed energy capacity by 2030 (129.5 GW).
Vietnam also boasts high potential for energy-saving of up to 7 per cent relative to business as usual, through to the year 2035. Energy efficiency (EE) measures can remove some 67 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) by 2035 as well as deliver additional environmental benefits.
"Cutting across all climate efforts is of importance to enabling the access, contribution and involvement of the private sector," Weisen said.
A recent UNDP survey of 13 large banks, institutions, and investors show that there is at least $10 billion readily available for investment in RE and EE in Vietnam, amounting to almost 40 per cent of the total investment required by Vietnam by 2030.
"This investment is possible if the current barriers constraining such investments are addressed, especially the low price of electricity that lowers incentives for efficient use, and the existing format of power purchase agreements (PPAs) that deter investors from investing," read a UNDP report on private funding opportunities for RE and EE investments in Vietnam, released last week.
A foreign bank representative said that it stands ready to invest $1 billion into around 10 RE projects in the country. "However, the bank's engagement in Vietnam's RE market is presently being prevented by PPAs that are deemed un-bankable," the representative said.
Another bank also revealed that it has $10 billion set for RE investment loans worldwide, and would be happy to become engaged in RE investments in Vietnam. "The bank could theoretically offer up to $1 billion for Vietnam, but currently has several major concerns about the PPA framework that prevent its full engagement," a bank source said.
A third bank also stated that if the regulatory framework was simplified it could provide $500 million annually for RE and EE in Vietnam's state-owned enterprises through concessional loans, as well as provide another $500 million annually for project preparation. "However, Vietnam's Law on Public Investment procedures are too long – larger projects may take several years to develop during which time procedures may change," the bank's spokesperson said. "Moreover, flexible credit lines related to RE/EE are effectively not allowed since most RE projects have to be approved by the prime minister, which further complicates lending."
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has approved over 70 new solar power projects to be put into operation before June 2019, with a total designed capacity of over 3,000 megawatts (MW).
According to pan-Asia consulting firm Dezan Shira & Associates, as of July, solar power projects with a total capacity of 12,600MW were in the pre-investment phase, while 1,430MW was in the development and feasibility phase. Around 1,000MW is under construction, while only 8MW is currently in the operating stage. Also, 748 solar roof-top projects were in operation with a total capacity of 11.55MW.
Last year the Vietnamese government issued Decree No.11/2017/QD-TTg on mechanisms for encouraging the development of solar power in Vietnam, offering a feed-in-tariff (FiT) for utility solar power plants of 9.35 US cents per kilowatt an hour (kWh) for 20 years. The FiT will be applicable for projects beginning operations before June 30, 2019, except for those in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan, which have a 2020 deadline.
Currently the FiT for wind power is set by the Vietnamese government at 7.8 US cents per kWh. However, this price will be increased to 8.5 US cents as November 1.

Yesterday the PxC (Plataforma per Catalunya) party held a rally in Barcelona to demonstrate for freedom of expression. The impulse to do this followed from a ban previously imposed on an anti-mosque protest the party had intended to hold in Salt.
Josep Anglada, the leader of PxC, accused all of the mainstream political parties of being "complicit in the islamisation of Catalonia" and declared "every mosque built on Catalan soil is a victory for islamism and a defeat for a Catalonia that is European and Christian".
As he spoke, a man stood in front of him wearing a burka woven from the flags of all the establishment political parties in Spain.
A large number of leftist militants attempted to disrupt the rally but were held back by a heavy police presence.

The Australian Government has announced more support for cancer research with $8 million in grants.
The Turnbull Government is today announcing more support for cancer research with $8 million in grants.
Through Cancer Australia, we are investing $6.5 million combined with $2.1 million from Cancer Australia's funding partners, Cure Cancer Australia, National Breast Cancer Foundation and Cancer Council NSW.
This brings the total funding for the 2017 round of Cancer Australia's Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research Scheme (PdCCRS) to $8.6 million.
The 24 successful grant recipients lead projects focusing on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of cancer types.
These include cancers of the breast, colon, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, pancreas and prostate, as well as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, leukaemia, melanoma and uveal (a part of the eye) melanoma, multiple myeloma and sarcoma.
There is also a strong focus on defeating and improving the outcomes of childhood brain cancers and other cancers like neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system common in children.
Sixty per cent of the grant funding will go to projects that focus on rare and less common cancers and cancers with low survival rates.
The assessment process for the 2017 PdCCRS grants was done in collaboration with the National Health and Medical Research Council.
Cancer Australia's PdCCRS has provided $124 million for priority-based cancer research since its inception in 2007.
This latest round of grant funding complements existing programs like the Australian Brain Cancer Mission which was announced in October 2017.
The Australian Government announced a $100 million fund to defeat brain cancer and provide better outcomes for people suffering from the terrible disease.
Earlier this month we announced a $640 million investment to support Australia's world-leading health and medical researchers as they continue their work to find the next major medical breakthrough.
And only yesterday, the mid-year budget update confirmed over half a billion dollars extra for the fight against cancer with additional funding for new medicines, screening and testing.


Advisement teachers - today or tomorrow, you will receive copies of the School-Parent Compact & the Parent Involvement Plan in your mailboxes. Please hand these out next Thursday, Oct. 15 during advisement. It was planned for you to handout them out this Thursday, but I just realized it is Clubs and you will not be seeing your advisement students.
There is a place for parent & teacher signatures on the compact. Please place the signed compacts in my mailbox or bring them to my office. Do the same if you have any parent fill out the information card(s) on the back of the Parent Involvement Plan.
I think next week is the Homecoming assembly during advisement time.
Yes, next week is the homecoming assembly on Thursday, October 16th. However, we will be in advisement for the final round of voting on Tuesday, October 14th. We could hand them out then. I made a mistake on the pink paper I gave the teachers. It says October 15th for the final vote, but the blue master calendar says Advisement for homecoming voting October 14th.
Dr. Greeson...thank you for bringing that to my attention!
I will post to have those handed out on Tuesday, Oct. 14.


I, and only I, am responsible for my own happiness.
I can't stake my happiness on anyone else's saying, or doing, or being anything. I can't say that if only this person would love me or care about me, then that would make me happy. No one else can "make" me happy. Happiness is an existential decision. It is not dependent on circumstance.
I am not responsible for anyone else's decision to be happy.
Nothing I can say, or do, or be, will ever cause someone else to be happy if they really don't want to be. It is their decision whether to be happy or not, regardless of their life circumstances at the time.
I can still be happy even after someone has mistreated me.
If someone mistreats me I will feel hurt and angry, but I can still be happy even while acknowledging that they have done me wrong. This should not mean that I continue to put up with poor treatment, however. I have a right to be treated well. Even more than that, I have an obligation to not allow anyone to treat me poorly because I am a child of the goddess and it is up to all of us to honor and shield that which is of Her.
True and perfect happiness is a state of grace.
It is beyond any temporary emotional state of elation which most people, including myself, often mistake for happiness. The other side of elation is despair, which is equally transient. True happiness comes from contacting and realizing the changeless & eternal core of our being, our true identity.

HomeGovernanceExplained: Should you read the CAA in conjunction with the proposed NRC?
Explained: Should you read the CAA in conjunction with the proposed NRC?
December 17, 2019 Aruna Natarajan
FAQ: CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT ACT AND IMPLICATIONS
File picture of protests in northeast India in February 2019. Pic: Anthony
The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 (CAA) amends the Citizenship Act of 1955 to make illegal immigrants who are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who entered India on or before December 31 2014 eligible to apply for Indian citizenship.
According to the 1955 law, a person must have resided in India (or been in the service of the Central Government) for at least 11 years in order to be eligible for citizenship. The amended Act reduces that period to five years for all migrants from these three countries belonging to these six religious communities..
♦ What is the government's reasoning for CAA?
The Act has been introduced ostensibly to aid refugees fleeing religious persecution in the three nations. The reason for excluding Muslims from the purview of the act, as stated by Home Minister Amit Shah, is that the likelihood of Muslims facing persecution in these Muslim-majority countries is low. But critics point out that sects like the Ahmediyas and Bahais do face relgious persecution in Pakistan.
The conspicuous exclusion of Muslims from the purview of the Act has evoked widespread condemnation. The government, on its part, has said that the exclusion of Muslims is not an act of Islamophobia as the countries listed in the Act are Muslim-majority nations, whose minorities are vulnerable.
♦ How many people are likely to apply for naturalisation under CAA?
With the cut-off date set at December 31 2014, the number of people who will benefit from the amendments stands at 31,313, a figure submitted by the IB during a parliamentary committee hearing on the bill in 2016.
"As per our records, there are 31,313 persons belonging to minority communities (Hindus- 25447, Sikhs – 5807, Christians – 55, Buddhists – 2 and Parsis – 2) who have been given Long Term Visa on the basis of their claim of religious persecution in their respective countries and want Indian Citizenship. Hence, these persons will be immediate beneficiaries."
However, the Home Minister has stated that crores of people will benefit as those who have been illegally residing in the country will now feel empowered to apply for citizenship.
♦ Will the law only give refuge to "persecuted religious minorities"?
While the reason for enactment of Citizenship Amendment Act is to provide a safe haven for persecuted religious minorities in the three Islamic countries, there is no mention of this phrasein the text of the act. The Act states that migrants of the six religions mentioned may seek citizenship without any explicit mention of the grounds for granting them this option..
♦ Why is there opposition to the Act?
The countrywide protests against the CAA stem not so much from the inclusion of specific religious refugees from the three countries mentioned in the Act, but more from fears that the Act could be the first step in stripping the rights of millions of Muslims residing in India when viewed in conjunction with another proposed nationwide exercise, the National Register of Citizens (NRC), as announced by the Union Home Minister.
♦ Why is the northeast against CAA?
The opposition to the CAA has been widespread but especially vociferous in the north-eastern states. Assam and Meghalaya saw internet shutdowns and imposition of curfew. The protests took a grim turn with reports of four deaths during the crackdown by the police and armed forces on protestors.
The north-eastern states have for long faced large scale migration from neighbouring countries and resultant protests from indigenous residents over the strain this migration placed on the social, economic and political fabric of the region. The protests against the provisions of the CAA in these states is against legitimisation of all immigrants from any country irrespective of their faith rather than excluding only Muslims.
♦ What is the NRC? What was required to prove citizenship when the Assam NRC exercise was carried out?
The National Register of Citizens is an exercise that will enlist all Indians citizens on a 'national register' by vetting their documentation. Those who fail to provide adequate documentation risk being stripped of their citizenship and sent to detention camps.
If the model followed in Assam is replicated across the country, the following documents and conditions are necessary to prove Indian citizenship and be eligible to enroll in the NRC,
Electoral roll(s) up to <cutoff date>
Land and tenancy records
Citizenship certificate
Permanent residential certificate
Refugee registration certificate
Any government issued license/certificate
Government service/ employment certificate
Bank or post office accounts
State educational board or university educational certificate
Court records/processes
Any LIC policy
These documents must be dated no later than the cut-off date. If a person does not have any of these documents prior to the cutoff date, they may be able to register on the basis of any of the documents listed above belonging to their father or grandfather.
However, they will have to prove their relationship with their father of grandfather, for which they must produce any of the documents listed below.
Board/University certificate
Bank/LIC/Post office records
Land document
Village panchayat secretary certificate in case of married women
Any other legally acceptable document
While the cut-off date in Assam was 1971, the nationwide NRC is expected to have a different cut-off date for the necessary documents. The rigorous requirements of this exercise could potentially affect those who do not possess the above documents as the onus of proving their citizenship is on them.
♦ The NRC appears to be a completely different exercise; how is it linked to the CAA?
Supporters of the Citizenship Amendment Act question why people should have any objections with the legislation on grounds of religious discrimination, since
It does not exclude any Muslim who is a genuine Indian citizen
It seeks to provide citizenship only to minorities from Muslim-majority nations, where the former are known to face persecution.
Those against the move argue that it is here that the Act needs to be read in conjunction with the NRC, for its true implications to be grasped. The NRC exercise in Assam showed that a large number of those excluded from the formal list were in fact Bengali Hindus. By relaxing the conditions for citizenship for members of the six communities mentioned, the CAA gives them a second chance to claim citizenship.
This, opponents of the CAA argue, makes Muslims living in India vulnerable.If the NRC exercise is, in fact, extended to all parts of the country, all Muslims who lack of documentary evidence required for the NRC would be labelled illegal immigrants, burdened with the onus of proving their Indianness irrespective of how long they may have been residing in this country.
Similar fears also extend to other groups like Sri Lankan Tamil refugees who have been residing in Tamil Nadu for decades and are not covered by the latest amendments. And the Rohingyas, an ethnic group facing genocidal violence in their home country of Myanmar, who also are excluded from the CAA. In fact, the Home Minister has explicitly asserted that Rohingya refugees will never be granted citizenship in this country.
♦ Will CAA apply to all Indian states?
The amended law inserts a new clause that says:
"Nothing in this section shall apply to tribal area of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram or Tripura as included in the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution and the area covered under "The Inner Line" notified under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873."
Apart from the above exceptions, the law shall be applicable across all states. The Chief Ministers of Kerala, Punjab, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have stated that they will not implement the act in their respective states. However, reports suggest that states may not have the power to refuse implementation of the law, as it is enacted under the Union List of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution.

The issue of illegal immigrants has to be addressed. I'm afraid there is no equitable solution, and therefore a human tragedy is waiting to happen. If only this hadn't been tolerated earlier…
Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar says:
Irrespective of NRC or not, discriminating people based on religion is wrong and against the Constitution of India
Htrahddis says:
What happens if the person who is religiously persecuted from those 3 countries and enters India after 31st Dec 2014?
Satwik says:
will the CAB be applicable for those who came after 2014
Deepu Chandran says:
In the article the reason for opposition to CAA does not capture the fundamental objection that the act discriminates based on religion and hence it goes against the basic tenets and philosophy of the constitution. The objection is not just about the fact that it could turn out to be a potent weapon in the hands of the government when done in conjunction with NRC, while that's also true.


Located in the St. Elizabetzh Parish, Appleton Estate combines a 400 hectare sugar cane plantation with a sugar refinery and distillery. Dating back to 1749, when it was less than a hundredth of todays size, the estate has quickly been sold to the Dickinson family, whose ancestors played a crucial role in conquering the island alongside Admiral Penn. After changing ownership a couple of times, it has eventually been bought by J. Wray & Nephew in 1916. They are responsible for the perhaps most sought after bottle of rum ever, the Wray & Nephew 17YO which has been used by Trader Vic in his original Mai Tai recipe. In 2012, the Campari group bought out J. Wray and Nephew and now operate almost 4500 hectares of plantation land and two distilleries on Jamaica. One is Appleton, the other New Yarmouth in the Clarendon Parish, where the unaged Wray & Nephew Overproof rum is produced (other brands produced at New Yarmouth include Coruba, Conquering Lion, Charly's JB and Edwin Charley).
Appleton's fermentation lasts for one and a half days, which is initiated by the distillery's proprietary yeast strain. While Appleton can distill the resulting wines with one of their five 22,750 litre pot stills, the largest part of their blends is produced by their column still. Both, pot- and column still make are barreled separately and only blended right before being bottled. Today, Appleton is said to have some of the oldest rums in the Caribbean (are we going to get any? The barrels should be almost dry by now) and about 70% market share on Jamaica, mainly due to the Wray & Nephew Overproof. This also makes it the world's 5th largest rum producer.

Католицизм в Йемене. Католическая церковь в Йемене является частью всемирной Католической церкви. Точную численность католиков в Йемене определить невозможно, по одним данным в 1998 году их число оценивалась в 3 тысячи человек, по другим данным в начале XXI века их число составляло около 6 тысяч. Большинство католиков составляют рабочие-эмигранты. Католическая община в Йемене входит в состав апостольского викариата Южной Аравии с центром в городе Абу-Даби.

История
В 1841 году в Адене, бывшим крупным портовым городом, была основана миссия для проживавших там иностранцев-католиков, которую возглавил священник Серафини из ордена сервитов. В 1854 году миссия была преобразована в апостольскую префектуру Адена, пастырское попечение над которой было поручено монахам из ордена капуцинов.

4 мая 1888 года Святой Престол преобразовал апостольскую префектуру в апостольский викариат Адена. В 1889 году апостольский викариат Адена был переименован в апостольский викариат Аравии, чья территория охватывала весь Аравийский полуостров.

29 июня 1953 года апостольский викариат Аравии передал часть своей территории (Северная Аравия) для новой апостольской префектуры Кувейта (сегодня — Апостольский викариат Северной Аравии).

В 1973 году центр апостольского викариата Аравии был перенесён из Йемена в Объединённые Арабские Эмираты, а в 2011 году он был переименован в апостольский викариат Южной Аравии. В 1998 году были установлены дипломатические отношения между Йеменом и Святым Престолом. В том же 1998 году в Йемене на почве религиозной нетерпимости были убиты три монахини из конгрегации сестёр миссионерок любви, после чего власти страны выразили соболезнования и усилили защиту христианских служителей. В 2004 году президент Йемена Али Абдалла Салех совершил визит в Ватикан и охарактеризовал отношения Йемена и Святого Престола, как превосходные.

Современное состояние
Согласно Конституции Йемена ислам является государственной религией страны, шариат составляет основу законодательства. Отношение к католикам из числа эмигрантов терпимое, функционированию католических приходов препятствий со стороны властей не чинится.

В настоящее время в стране действуют четыре прихода:
 Церковь Святого Франциска Ассизского (Аден);
 Церковь Святого Сердца, Ходейда;
 Церковь Марии, помощницы христиан, Сана;
 Церковь Святой Терезы из Лизьё, Таиз.

В стране по данным на 2005 год служат 9 священников, 4 монаха и 28 монахинь.

Strategic Command World War I: Breakthrough! – PC Game Beta Preview
By Jim Cobb
Strategic Command World War I – Breakthrough! PC game beta preview. Publisher: Battlefront.com. Developer: Fury Software.
This expansion to Strategic Command World War I The Great War does more than smooth out rough edges and add a bit of chrome. Hubert Cater and colleagues search out the dusty corners of the Great War to provide a panorama of the extremely varied texture of the conflict. A beta version shows some very interesting but relatively unknown clashes.
The base mechanics of "shoot-move or move-shoot" remain untouched with command and control, unit type and experience being key. Supply rules have been tightened and the War Map allows more insight into strategic possibilities. Military production points are the coin of the realm for new units, replacements and diplomacy. Holding objective tiles and lowering enemy national morale yield victory. The scale for unit and tile size is calibrated to the specific campaign as, is turn length. New units include armored trains, and a new deployment phase in some campaigns lets players place select units themselves on the main map.
Changes to the Big Picture
Of the twenty campaigns, four cover the entire war. "Call to Arms" is a re-make of the original campaign game with two very important changes: players can independently deploy several powerful units and British entry into the war is dependent on the German attitude toward Belgium and is not automatic. "Ostaufmarsch" allow players to reverse the Schiefflen Plan and mass German troops initially against Russia. "France's Struggle" covers the Western Front at a corps level; "Russia's War" does the same thing for the East until 1918 or the Revolution. The "Russian Revolution" lasts almost as long as the World War, stretching from November 1918 to September 1922.
All of the larger campaigns require something more than land combat. Blockades must be imposed or broken; convoys should be attacked. Research into advanced weapons and tactics via the expenditure of military production points is essential—the war will be won not just by the soldiers but by the "boffins" with their slide rules and theorems as well. These production points can also be used to apply diplomatic pressure for urging neutrals to take a side, or they can be expended to buy new units or build battered ones back to strength. The latter forces a choice: Reinforcement of existing units lowers their experience level, while new units are at full strength but lack experience.
In terms of strategy, players must watch national morale. A cautious approach may create a slow but steady decline while an adventurous attack may pay dividends but risks a disaster that will tumble morale. Throughout the game, automatic events and decision points will figure into players' approaches.
Small but Significant
The other sixteen campaigns are smaller but delve into very interesting aspects of the war. A prologue to the main event is seen in "First Balkan War" (1912—1913) with the small nations of the Balkan League ganging up on the apparently moribund Ottoman Empire. However, the "Sick Man" has enough kick left in him to make the campaign interesting. The smaller-scale campaigns of the Great War begin with the "March on Paris," portraying the early months on the Western Front at divisional level. This campaign is bookended by the "Ludendorff Offensive" which shows the divisional operations of the spring and summer of 1918. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck takes a well-deserved bow in "East Africa" with his two-year campaign of using small detachments in a guerilla war. The importance of keeping a German ship on Lake Tanganyika makes one look around for Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn.
For those players who like to pit their heads against brick walls, "Verdun" offers a chance to see both France and Germany bled white over a few square miles while the "Nivelle Offensive" depicts the ill-planed attack along the Chemin des Dames that drove the French army to mutiny in 1917. "The Somme" is full of ghastly memories for the British, yet some British units had success that day, giving players a chance at a real breakthrough.
For the more free-wheeling, the "Brusilov Offensive" has the Russians sweeping through southeastern Europe to almost knock Austro-Hungary out of the war—thereby almost saving the Tsar. In the hypothetical "Breakthrough" scenario, British cavalry is positioned close to the front to exploit gaps "to the green fields beyond." "Tannenberg" has the outnumbered Germans maneuvering against two armies of the Russian juggernaut while "Second Meuse" sees Stosstruppen infiltrate and crumble the Entente lines. The attempt to relieve the besieged British division at "Kut" takes players back to a dusty place in Mesopotamia that gave US troops trouble in the Second Iraq War.
The Americans are not forgotten. "St. Miehel" depicts the first predominately Yank offensive against the boche, with George Patton's tank brigade rumbling in the background. "Meuse-Argonne" throws the doughboys against entrenched Huns in the last stages of the war.
As a change of pace, naval warfare is shown in "Jutland." In this condensed version of the battle, naval tactics are little-used, but the ambush strategies of both sides can be seen. The folly of building the German High Seas fleet is also evident.
Strategic Command World War I—Breakthrough! is not quite comprehensive. Missing are the Italian campaigns of Caporetto and the Isonzo River. Also, the Japanese operations against the Central Power treaty ports in China and the German island colonies would be interesting. Still, this expansion makes this bundle the most comprehensive World War I computer game yet.

Unbound: Worlds Apart is an upcoming 2D puzzle-platformer with plane shifting mechanics.
Developer Alien Pixel has released a new trailer for its upcoming 2D puzzle-platformer Unbound: Worlds Apart. Alongside the trailer, it also announced that the Kickstarter campaign for the game is set to begin on May 7th.
Unbound: Worlds Apart follows protagonist Soli as he tries to make sense of the catastrophe that ravaged his world. To that end, Soli can shift planes, momentarily travelling to different worlds, in order to overcome obstacles. A spike pit in one world disappears in another. A giant gap can be traversed by travelling to a world with inverted gravity.
You can check out the Unbound: Worlds Apart reveal trailer on the developer's YouTube channel and drop by the game's Kickstarter page, although there won't be much there prior to May 7th. Alternatively, the title can also be followed and wishlisted on Steam.


Iran exports a total of 2.5 million barrels per day of crude and condensate.
The State Department confirmed Tuesday that it was taking a hard line on sanctions enforcement, telling Iran's oil buyers they should not expect any waivers to US sanctions that snap back in November.
"This big claim is not feasible because last month Iran shipped 2.8 million barrels of crude oil and gas condensate daily; this figure now stands at around 2.5 million barrels and eliminating it easily and in a period of a few months is impossible," the official at Iran's Ministry of Petroleum told Tasnim news agency Wednesday.
The US announcement on Tuesday caused crude prices to surge by more than 3 percent to around $77 on Tuesday amid concerns about a shortage of oil at a time of supply disruptions from Canada, Libya and Venezuela.
"We will certainly be requesting that their [Iranian] oil imports go to zero, without question," a senior State Department official told reporters during a background briefing.
The State Department briefing came shortly after reports that Saudi Arabia plans to pump 10.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in July, which would exceed its current record high monthly output of 10.66 million bpd set in August 2016.
Japan and South Korea said Wednesday they are in talks with the US government to get waivers similar to what they received during the previous round of sanctions that allowed them to buy oil from Iran.
The two countries are two of Iran's major oil customers along with China and India.
"Japan and the US are in talks now on re-application of US sanctions against Iran, and I decline to reveal the details of the discussions," Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference in Tokyo.
"We are watching carefully the impact that the US measure would cause, and we would like to negotiate with countries involved including the United States so as not to have an adverse impact on Japanese firms," he added.
In South Korea, Reuters quoted an Energy Ministry official as saying that the government would keep negotiating with the US in order to get an exemption from the sanctions.
"We are in the same position as Japan. We are in talks with the United States and will keep negotiating to get an exemption," said the official.

Editorial: Well-meaning intentions gone awry
While likely well-meaning, efforts to add to Uplands Park miss the mark
Sep. 14, 2016 5:00 a.m.
Contrary to the yahoos who felt the need not only to damage the painted piano at Cattle Point over the Labour Day weekend, but to steal the specially made piano cover Oak Bay re-uses each summer – something that can be of little use to anyone else – we assume those who "volunteered" 24 fir trees into Uplands Park believed they were doing good.
Ecologist Wylie Thomas spends countless hours determining where in Uplands Park to focus attention in the ongoing battle to protect endangered native plants.
And while fir trees are indeed native to the region, they will also push out Garry oaks in that ecosystem, Thomas notes, pointing to North Cowichan's Mount Tzouhalem Ecological Reserve as an example.
"They've gone in and actually girdled some naturally occurring Douglas firs because they're moving in and pushing out the Garry oak meadows."
Other plants "volunteered" into the Uplands Park over the years include new crocosmia, crocus, iris, grape hyacinth and daffodils, all likely planted with good intentions.
However, Thomas points to the spring-blooming daffodils in Beacon Hill as an example of how an introduced species has greatly reduced the number of native camas growing in that park.
Fortunately, many opportunities exist for those who would like to lend a hand to beautify local parks, including Uplands. Volunteers work tirelessly to remove invasive Daphne, English ivy and Scotch broom, and would undoubtedly welcome more hands to the task.
And to those who know the whereabouts of the missing piano cover, perhaps another late-night escapade can have you return it – and do some good with your time.

On Friday (15th June 2018) silver had the biggest crash in the last eighteen months. Silver prices take a long time to recover whenever prices have crashed. This has been my experience in analyzing silver. Massive stop losses were triggered. Silver which was showing hopes to start a medium term bull rally, crashed when things were looking bright for silver bulls.
I have seen unlimited flash crashes in silver. I am never unfazed by silver crashes. This puts us to the question as to how to trade in silver? The few bad days (when prices move very sharply in one direction without any early hint.) can result in capital erosion.
The key thing which one should keep in mind while trading in metals (silver, gold or any other industrial metal), is to know the fundamentals. Metal prices globally are dependent on the current demand/supply balance as well as the future demand/supply balance. Metal prices can rise in weak fundamentals but will be vulnerable to flash crashes. If the fundamentals of silver are weak, then use higher trailing stop losses. Do not worry if the stop loss is hit. On Friday, 15th June, silver was sitting on weak fundamentals. The plunge in the global metals market added to silver bull's woes. If fundamentals are strong of silver or any other metals, then prices will recover sooner than later. No need to worry, in case you are long and have the margin, then average it out. Remember, averaging requires very high margin money.
Remember key short term technical support/resistances as well as medium term support/resistances in your mind while trading. I am asking you to remember as prices plunge whenever it happens gives you very little time to react. On 15th June 2018, silver prices of MCX silver July futures plunged from a high of Rs.41698 per kilogram to low of Rs.40141 per kilogram. The flash crash started as soon as silver prices fell below Rs.41280 per kilogram. Key technical support was around Rs.40980 per kilogram. If you had the technical support/resistances in hand, then you would have reversed your trade on the fall below Rs.40980 per kilogram. In Comex silver July futures key support was at $17.13. One should have use a trailing stop loss around $17.13 if long and reversed on a fall below $17.13. Remembering the technical and reacting on the same helps to convert loss making trades into profitable ones. But never apply the reverse trade when prices trade in a range bound way. Both ways (buy/sell), there will be losses.
Silver has a tendency to trade in a range bound manner for a very long period of time and then make a big breakout. Silver tests the patience of everyone. One should determine the narrow trading range or wider trading range and then make the trade. Trading range can be determined using various short term technical. Comex silver July futures traded in $1619.00-$1686.50 between 7th May 2018 and 5th June 2018. Thereafter there was a technical breakout. To make the most profit determine the trading range and trade in the range using trailing stop loss. I have seen in India that most people never use stop losses when silver prices trade in a range. Once the big day of breakout or breakdown, these traders cry foul on their losses. The whole purpose of use trailing stop losses in financial markets and not just silver is to limit losses on days of big one way moves.
It is very easy to manipulate silver. Manipulation of gold and silver are over the internet. JPMorgan, Deustche bank have been manipulating silver for decades. One should not think of factors such as price manipulation. Never console yourself by some news. It is your money. You need a return on your silver investment. Manipulation news or any other news should be used to get a positive return on your investment.
Silver is a very beautiful metal which has huge number of industrial uses. Silver trading requires patience. Those looking for making a fast buck need to look for other investment. Silver traders should allocate fifty percent to very short-term trading/day trading and the rest to investing. Over the past few years silver investors have had negative returns. Day trading or weekly trading helps to ensure continued flows of return on investment.
In the final line, I will say, that silver generates better long-term investment than gold.
