2016 Blue Book
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announces the availability of the updated New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control (Blue Book), dated November, 2016. The Blue Book provides standards and specifications for the selection, design and implementation of erosion and sediment control practices for the development of Erosion and Sediment Control Plans for the SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity.
Note: The July 2016 version of the Blue Book was updated in November 2016 to make several minor corrections. See the back of the cover page for a list of changes.
The Blue Book was updated to address EPA's Effluent Limitation Guidelines (published in December, 2009), advancements in technology and issues that had been identified by stakeholders that use the document. A draft of the updated Blue Book was Public Noticed on February 24, 2016 for 30 days with 22 sets of comments received. The majority of the changes to the draft in response to comments relate to clarification of the existing criteria in the Blue Book.

Children can do lots of things that robots and computers have trouble with. Climbing stairs, for example, is a tough thing for a robot. Recognizing objects is another area where humans are generally much better than robots. Kids can recognize blocks, shapes, colors, and extrapolate combinations and transformations.
Google's open-source TensorFlow software can help. It is a machine learning system used in Google's own speech recognition, search, and other products. It is also used in quite a few non-Google projects. [Lukas Biewald] recently built a robot around some stock pieces (including a Raspberry Pi) and enlisted TensorFlow to allow the robot to recognize objects. You can see a video of the device, below.
[cunningfellow] has been putting LEDs in everything lately. That's understandable. Most recently, he used them to drastically upgrade his father's super-cool mid-century slide viewer.
The slide viewer used to use a flashlight bulb, but it didn't light evenly at all. Not only that, it produced a dim, orange-ish light. [cunningfellow] happened to have an old Nokia N93 lying around and decided to cannibalize that strange, beautiful, swiveling flip phone for its backlight circuitry. Unfortunately, the 4 LEDs aren't going to run on a pair of C cells like the flashlight bulb did. [cunningfellow] needed some kind of boost converter.
He found one in the form of a Nokia E73 LCD driver board created by [Andy Brown]. The LEDs are way brighter than that old incandescent bulb, and they draw about 10mA less to boot. We think [cunningfellow]'s father will be happy with the result.
If you have an old slide viewer and no slides, try using it as a project case. If this post makes you miss your View-Master (also understandable), you can always turn your phone into a stereopticon.
There are only two ways of creating two perfect copies of a person: 3D printing and twins. 3D printing magician [Simon] the Sorcerer 3D-printerer uses his secret knowledge to create the perfect illusion: A 3D-printing-real-people prank.
How much would you pay for a 360 degree camera? How about $15 if you already have a Raspberry Pi and a Pi camera hanging around? If you don't, you'll have to add that minimal cost into the build. [Gigafide] noticed how a spherical mirror, made to see around corners, showed an all-around view if you took a picture of it from below. He snagged a panoramic lens made for an iPhone and stripped it for its optics. Some custom software and a little work resulted in a usable 360 degree camera.
SimpleCV (a light version of OpenCV) provides the algorithms to unwrap the frames and you can take video with the setup (see the video below). Mounting the optics took some 3D printing and the Pi operates as a hot spot to send the video out.


Divide onion slices and cucumbers into jars.
Stir sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and salt in a bowl until sugar and salt have dissolved; pour the pickling syrup over the onion and cucumber slices. Cover jars with lids and refrigerate for 1 week before opening.
This is the recipe my mother uses and it is so good. I don't even like pickles but I like this! It is that good.
Super easy and delicious. Did not wait the full week to eat them because we like them a little more crunchy. Waited only 3 days and they were perfect.
This is my go-to recipe for quick pickling. I modified it to 1c. vinegar and 1/2 c. sugar. It really cuts the sweetness, and lets the other spices shine through.
These are the first pickles I ever made. They are all gone. I will make more tomorrow with my remaining cukes. Easy, yummy, great accent to a meal. Thanks!

In today's world everyone can be targets to scams. This is especially true for seniors.
Provide them with the details of how to identify scams and how protect themselves with these helpful tips.
Are largely unreported due to fear of loss of independence, shame and/or lack of awareness of the scam.
We've all heard the sad stories: A senior citizen was fleeced out of his home by an unscrupulous person. A home repair worker turns out to be a thief who takes all the jewelry. A call announcing you've won a prize turns out to be a ploy to get you to empty your bank account. Some scammers call seniors posing as a representative from Medicare, their bank, the IRS or another business entity then request credit card details and other financial information.
As fast as law enforcement officials crack down on one case of fraud against older Americans, another pops up. And one of the roughly 10,000 people a day who turn 65 falls for another old scheme with a new twist. Unfortunately, financial scams targeting seniors are so prevalent they've become the crime of the century. Seniors are thought to have significant amounts of money sitting in their accounts or under the mattress.
Scams targeting older Americans are perpetrated in person, on the telephone and, increasingly, on the Internet. Frauds involving identify theft, Medicare, health insurance, prescription drugs, reverse mortgages, sweepstakes, home repairs, romance and investments abound.
The vast majority of cases of elder exploitation involve family members, aides and other trusted people. But strangers, too, prey on a population they see as more vulnerable and trusting. Every year hundreds of thousands of seniors are victims of financial fraud and theft. Seniors are not familiar with such matters therefore have difficulty identifying the red flags of fraud.
Many scams against older people go unreported because the victims are embarrassed and afraid they will lose independence if their children find out they've been deceived. Fear of looking stupid also keeps them from sharing doubts with friends and family. Seniors who are socially isolated are especially vulnerable to these scams. Seniors sometimes don't want to raise concerns to their family members. They must be convinced to realize that there is really no dumb question.
Experts advise Seniors to never conduct business with someone who calls you out of the blue. They should be supplied with a practiced "no" script, such as "I don't buy products over the phone" or "I don't talk to solicitors." If they think the offer is legitimate, ask the person to put it in writing and mail it to them. Pressure to act immediately is a sign of a scam. Anything that sounds too good to be true probably is.
Distraction scams. Someone knocks at your door and wants to talk about the fence in your backyard. While you're out back, an accomplice takes advantage and robs the house.
Home repair scams. Seniors must be aware of people who knock on their door and offer home repair services. Some are casing the home to break and enter later. Others will overcharge for a supposed service that either isn't performed or is done poorly. Remember that legitimate contractors rarely solicit door to door, and seniors don't want to hire anyone to work on their house until they have checked licenses and references.
Computer tech scams. A caller pretends to be a representative from a tech company. They may seek remote access to your computer for "tech support," ask for credit card numbers or direct them to a website to enter personal details. This is always a scam. They may also receive similar solicitations via email.
IRS scams. Scammers will call a taxpayer saying money is due and demanding immediate payment via prepaid debit card, threatening arrest, deportation or loss of their driver's license. If they have caller ID, the number may even show up as IRS. We must convince seniors that the IRS does not call people, they send letters.
Callers threatening arrest if you don't pay. A variation of the IRS scam has the caller saying he is from the sheriff's office, clerk of courts or other agency, threatening arrest if the target doesn't pay for an infraction such as missing jury duty. The caller demands payment immediately, via wire transfer or re-loadable card, which is a telltale sign of a scam.
Lottery and sweepstakes scams. Someone approaches the victim in a public place, saying she has won the lottery but can't claim the prize because she entered the country illegally. The scammer asks the victim to withdraw money from the bank to show good faith, or to pay taxes on winnings. Sometimes the scammer calls via telephone and says the victim has won a big prize but needs to pay upfront for taxes before the prize can be delivered.
Grandchildren in trouble. A crying young person calls, saying he or she has been arrested or in an accident in another country and needs money to get out of jail. The connection is bad, so the grandparent thinks it is really a grandchild. They send the money. They don't verify that their grandson is away at college. Sometimes a senior will receive an email claiming friends and relatives have been robbed in another country and need money to get home.
Investment fraud and exploitation. Seniors are frequently offered an educational free lunch, which is really a sales presentation. No investment should be entered into without significant investigation, and that includes investigating the person offering to sell you the product. Seniors must be careful of cold calls from people who introduce themselves as investment advisors, or of investments with high returns or any scheme that promises guaranteed returns. Seniors with substantial assets should cultivate a relationship with a trusted financial advisor who has been vetted thoroughly and is known to their friends and relatives.
Power of attorney. Thousands of seniors have lost the contents of their bank accounts, and even their homes, by giving power of attorney to someone untrustworthy.
ID theft. Someone calls and claims to be from Medicare, their bank, the IRS, their insurance company or another business entity, then they proceed to ask for credit card numbers or other personal information. Seniors must learn to never give personal information over the phone unless they initiated the call.


Man-made Intellect or AI, a form of technology that is extremely prevalent within everyday activities. From production firms to colleges in addition to our real estate. Weve even seen motion pictures about synthetic intelligence developing with overwelming regularity. If his brainchild has substantial reactions and concepts which in fact subsequently does, a high quality sample for being Ex Machina which could be regarding a angry scientist who produces a very good, fetching creature and intends to fully understand. In order for raises the large challenge which has perpetually run in many peoples intellects: either a plan are some things full of life or otherwise not considering that it intrinsically has some sort of autonomy at the least. During the last 50 years, technologies have continually end up as a lot more powerful and personal-operating. Now in your life, we now have mobile phone devices which were stronger when compared to the home pc that monitored Most of the Apollo quests and flew gotten many men through your narrowest activity glass windows even though helping a tin can into the limitless gets to of space. So the question is: Will the Man made Learning ability require around the world eventually.
Comparison literature has driven and remains to get dialogue roughly it. This might be due to the recognized intricate nature and therefore, definitions of relative literature are as numerous because there are scholars within your area. Despite the disparities that will be inherent in the field, perhaps, the point of congruence lays in the point that the starting point of relative literature is literature. Originally, comparison literature concentrated on assessing literature from special languages. In spite of this, there is after produced to pay attention to the study of literature from unique genres, sub cultures, countries and information beyond examining the link that exists among literature as well as types of phrase, national or else. This begs the debate: Why should we review literature?
The solution to the above mentioned question for you is most reliable encapsulated in Henry Remaks concept of relative literature. Remak opines that comparative literature reports literature beyond the confines connected with a precise countryside and other areas of experience. As a result by employing comparison literature, a single one can discover the societies and history of other places.
Scholars sometimes experience ailments when you are seeking to perform their essays, records or responsibilities.

I've come up to speed on the OpenSDA with the Tower and Freedom boards, but I'm still have issues.
Problem is that the MSD programming option rejected my .bin file (blinks 8 times rapidly) and now the reset button is dimmly lit. No matter what I do, I can't get the reset button to turn off. I won't be able to program at all as long as the reset LED is active, right? How do I get out of this state?
Is it normal operation for the Amber/Orange LED to be lit dimly? NOTE: If I press the reset button, that LED goes to full brightness.
Please notice the MSD application does not work with *.bin files but only SREC format. Please try re-loading the bootloader and MSD application and try again with a SREC file. There is a video showing how to load the OpenSDA in case you are not familiar with the process.
According to several of the OpenSDA User Guides, BIN files are allowed. I've tried SREC and have the same results.
However, that video did point me towards some pre-compiled .srec files that appear to work.
So, I think I have what I need at the moment. Thanks.


Absolutt det beste hotellet i Coachella og vi er så glade for at de er tilbake!
The other reviewers answered the questions about the alarm clock (yes), fan (no-but the room was easily temperature controlled), and no on vending machines. While we were there they had a complimentary snack bar with apples and snack size candy items. It was such a great and yummy way to get a sweet fix throughout the day!
Hi! Are the rooms run down or still in good shape? Thinking about coming in October for our anniversary. Thanks!
The rooms are nice. A few minor issues here and there, but nothing really to complain about. If there is, the staff will take care of you.
Hi, I was wondering about vegan options in the club lounge?
Is it warm enough to swim during Christmas and New Year's?
I don't know. I was there during early summer.

Wolfgang Weisen here.
I would like to report the successful completion of the following mission. Despite its inherent difficulties I believe I produced some amazing results over a span of many months.
Quote: Mission 49: Oversee development of LHZ8-B3S "Tormentor"
Phase 1, Standard, Open
Arrange the delivery of exotic and rare materials which will be used during experimentation and testing of the new ship. High-tech equipment are required in massive quantities for reverse-engineering and research of their technologies.
• APM Advanced Hardware (multiple deliveries)
• Cracking Catalysts
• Gadolinium
• Holmium
• Hypnotainment Bands (multiple deliveries)
• Lanthanum
• Molybdenum
• Nanotubes
• Neodymium
• Palladium
• Tungsten
• Ultralloy
• Yttrium
Considering Hypnotainment Bands' perishable nature, these deliveries will not be sufficient to last during the entire mission. Finally, you may use money from the faction's treasury in order to fund those deliveries.
I started with the Independent Miners Guild which owed us some deliveries lately since our colleagues at Mactan lost their invaluable access to Freeport 4. After a bit of cunning persuasion on my part and with the assistance of Interruptor Tarn, I made them realize that they should organize a full convoy of Hypnotainment Bands to Cochrane Depot.
Afterwards, I attempted to complete the bulk of the remaining items by contacting our friends at the Woods Syndicate, however they failed to respond.
For the APM Advanced Hardware we used the incriminating intelligence on CR| and some thousands political refugees in order to secure a shipment of 20,000 units from the Büro der Marineintelligenz. It took them a while but they finally managed to get it done.
The remaining eleven materials were delivered by the highly efficient FL-ER. For this one, I couldn't avoid paying from the LH Treasury. It ultimately costed a total of 132 000 000 SC.

With my promotion to Interruptor and the thereby attached freedom it brings, I have recently found a rather nice book that I wanted to read, yet I couldn't reconcile the time I would need to invest with the fact that my effort should be better spent harassing Liberty's corporations and their military puppets at every turn. For that reason, I have sought and found a means to further our goals while still having enough time and capacity for some recreation, thus I have completed the following mission:
Lane Hacker Mission Archives Wrote: Mission 44: Support the Logistics
Mission type: Standard
Mission status: Open
The Lane Hacker Logistics are responsible for the faction's economy and combat-readiness. While our smuggling department is not as large as in other factions, it is nonetheless vital for the faction's survival and stability. It supports our exports, our foreign relations, and it supplies us with essential material. You are instructed to participate in smuggling operations and submit your results.
Phase 1, Repetitive Standard, Open
Complete one export and one import delivery. Refer to the Smuggling Operations paragraph for a list of eligible smuggling runs.
Complete all four inter-Liberty cardamine runs as explained in the Smuggling Operations paragraph.
For Phase 1, I picked up Counterfeit Software from Leiden and brought it to Malta, from where I took back a rather sizable load of orange, which was delivered to Leiden as outlined in the Smuggling Operations. Nothing noteworthy happened during the flight, which was all the better for me, as it gave me the time I needed to read. Phase 2 was a bit more adventurous, as I happened upon a rather nosey Navy puppy with the name Anna Brown. Apparently, she thought it would be a good idea to try and chase me without a cruise disruptor. I left her with the advice to best administer Cardamine to quench this idiocy. All necessary data will be attached now.
I wish you a good day.
Forwarded Data:
Phase One - Visual Evidence
Phase Two - Buffalo -> Rochester

This mission was issued directly and privately by Professor Provocateur Nicole Hunter in May 822 A.S. after a very concerning propaganda message released by the Oracles, also known as the Cult of Sirius, an ultra-fanatic religious group which worships the nomads.
Top-secret intelligence was declassified by the Professor in order to aid me in my efforts. While the Oracles publicly appear as an open, alternative, mysterious, and progressive organization in reality it is an extremely secretive cult, hiding behind aliases, proxies and only indirectly they project their true goals, undoubtedly assigned to them by their alien masters.
After careful examination of the (albeit limited) information we had collected on this organization I concluded that the best course of action is to intercept and abduct the only known cultist in Liberty, Jim McKenna. The rest shown in the video were either untraceable or their identities were hidden. Alarmingly enough, Jim McKenna was also the Arbiter of the Junker Congress a fact which shows that the Oracles are also striving to infiltrate the leaderships of other organizations, forces and governments.
The mission was a success and the Arbiter of Congress was successfully abducted. In Leiden Base, I personally mania-interrogated the subject. Jim McKenna revealed the inner structure of the Oracles and goals. Apparently through their religious drive they continue to experiment on human mutation which created the so-called hybrid -- a mixture of human and nomad DNA. In addition, the Arbiter revealed that the Oracles have close relations with OSI, TAZ and the Legion. We already have evidence on the last, and as for the TAZ, the Grand Admiral of the Order has already revealed that in the past. Finally, he also mentioned that there is rivalry between the Crimson Cross and the Oracles.
McKenna had a single contact and superior from whom he received all his instructions. Subsequently my next step was to hit his superior and gain access to an even greater level of information. As described in my analysis I managed to locate a suspect who was going by the alias of Hans Campbell and proposed an armed assault mission. Professor Hunter authorized the mission.
Interruptor Freudenstein assisted me in this mission along with three more specialized Hackers. After we successfully infiltrated the planet, we proceeded to the closest hidden weapon stash from our target. Once my team was loaded with firearms, we hijacked a robotic squat. Our team approached the apartment with great care however before we entered we heard a single gunshot, "Hans Campbell" committed suicide rather than be caught alive. Inside the apartment we later realized this man had installed a sophisticated surveillance network which warned him of our approach. To make things even worse, a few moments before the suicide he had started an automated deletion of all his computer files, the process was protected by a Severus-type firewall. This was when my unique hacking skills proved particularly useful as I managed to overcome the firewall and stop the countdown. After the apartment was thoroughly examined and I copied the remaining files we successfully fled from the apartment and returned back to Mactan Base.
In the follow-up report I analyzed the retrieved information. Though the majority of it was either useless or too damaged to be restored we managed to retrieve some logs of outsiders who quite interestingly are in contact with the Oracle leadership as well as orders to this "Hans Campbell" by the person seemingly in command of all the Oracle operatives in Liberty, Isabelle Engler, a hybrid most likely. Despite the fact that the hybrid issued orders from the Omicrons, I decided that the next phase of the mission is to capture her in order to inflict a serious blow to the Oracles, as well as gain a unique chance to closely examine a hybrid. Another reason is that we'd otherwise be facing a dead-end.
With the help of Professor Hunter I initially contacted the Crimson Cross in order to help us with the intel however despite their acceptance they proved to be unreliable, for reasons unknown. However this significantly delayed the mission well into 823 A.S. while the mission was re-authorized by Senior Professor Moriarty. Simultaneously Interruptor Tarn contacted the Order in order to obtain information about the hybrids, and raise possible defences against their unknown abilities. This was followed up by another professional-level analysis by Mr Tarn, which was the fruits of a combined operation with Order operatives.
National Council's rise in Maltese politics and our early support guaranteed a close alliance with them. So there was hardly any doubt when we restated the proposal we initially offered to Crimson Cross, the Maltese quickly agreed to our proposal which allowed them to learn of The Council's secret Tau home system, Roussillon, in return for information about Isabelle Engler and freedom to do as we please with her as well as two more matters of lesser importance. Once we had a date and time Operation Recklessness was designed and prepared. The mission's dangers were all too well known from the very beginning, hence the mission's name. Instead of being alone, Isabelle Engler had a full escort wing which ultimately failed the mission and I suspect that the infectees within the National Council were behind this and betrayed us. This is the full report including all the conclusions which stem out of this result.
Subsequently, and since there are no more important leads to follow or expect to uncover in the short-term future, I hereby submit Mission 42 for evaluation by the Professorship.

My fellow Hackers.
We have success! The vital parts of the mission are accomplished!
Even though now we have received word that all repairs that are needed for the repair of the Jump Gate to be completed, this is a great victory.
Not only has Liberty been thrown into a state of cause of unlawful groups running rampid through Liberty Space.
Not only has our operations become easier to do while the major gate has been blocked.
We, my hackers, have obtained some key Specialized Electronics and have delivered them to base for research!
With this technology, we are one step closer to realizing any new Ageria advancements first hand, and probably also specializing a virus to hack into the gate systems!
The Liberty Government, with their arrogance, had forced the Ageria to delivering updated parts to an old system. With access to these updates we are in good shape.
Good work, everyone! And oh man.... That transport got vaporized in a heart beat....
It was glorious.

During successful lockdown operation in Colorado system, I encountered a Freelancer captain flying a Mammoth loaded with Docking Ring Parts. Attempts to extract information or the cargo itself failed and I had no other choice but to dispose of the infidel after he started to fire back at my EMP shots. I looted the cargo and deliver it to Cochrane Depot where our engineers can make further attempts at researching it.

This report has been a few weeks in waiting, i had some issues retrieving the data from my blackbox after my first ship was badly damaged in the last cardamine run
While on a recon mission in New York looking for vessels using lane hacker equipment i was approached by a vessel with the callsign Lizzy.Hunter.. I immediately recognized the vessel as one of our own Vindicators. I proceeded to ask some questions of the pilot who, in an awkward manner, proceeded to tell me that She was once a member of the Lane Hackers now a defector to our cause. The vessel was not hostile to myself, or so it seemed. Unfortunately my conversation with this person was cut short by the arrival of the bounty hunter 'the huntress' whom i'm sure you are aware of

not wishing to waste any potential information on my jouney to meet the University of Cambridge Scientist Alfred Steiner. To avoid direct contact with the authorities I decides to take a route on the outskirts of Bretonia utilising Newcastle. As this route has potential for our investigations I decided to fulfill the following mission brief, in particular Phase 1.
Mission 27: Investigate Wilde activity in Bretonia and Kusari
Mission level: Advanced
Mission type: Single
Recently we have noticed increased activity of the Wild in Bretonia and Kusari, coupled with the reemergence of a group called Aoi Iseijin. Investigate activity of the Nomad infected in these regions and gather as much intelligence as possible. Maintain a low profile during the mission and avoid any direct combat. Be advised that it a mission of the highest risk. Do not get yourself killed or worse! Consult reports from Mission 1 and 13 before starting.
Phase 1, Advanced, Single, Open
Investigate Wild activity in the Bretonia-Liberty corridor.
Sadly this phase of investigation was not really fruitful with limited Wild Activity. However whilst circumnavigating the system to the base of our friends in the North West Quadrant my sensors picked up a beacon indicating a potential entry point to land on Planet Hartlepool, it appeared similar to the atmospheric docking at Planet Leeds.
However, it is not this is some strange jump route leading to a Bretonian space I do not think we are fully aware of, something that is possibly codenamed Planet Darlington. This was no atmosphere but a totally new system, heavily patrolled by Bretonians, there is a resident battleship, Grimsby, a derelict research station, an apparently still occupied one, Sunderland but the crown jewel, is below.
Sadly I could not spend longer there, it is very radioactive, hostile and I had an appontment to keep.
I am getting a little suspicious of the appointment, by a strange coincidence I ran into the scientists brother, a BAF officer who kindly escorted me out of Bretonian space into uncharted Omegas. I have no recent contact with the scientist so am beginning to wonder if this was a ruse to offer BAF an opportunity for a close look at a LH~ ship.

Good evening to you all. This is to report that, after a few long months, I have completed the test flights of the LHX7 Bomber and LHX9 Gunship prototypes. I have also included a short description regarding the ships themselves. I apologise this took so long.
Mission 49: Oversee development of LHX7 bomber - Phase 2
The LHX7-B5H bomber, or more simply the 'Tormentor' is a marvel of engineering. Aside from finding an odd but very acceptable balance between sheer firepower and mathematical harmony. I should stress however, that this is, by no means, a light ship. It's heavy in almost every regard, it has heavy firepower, it's heavy to fly and it's armour is thick. However it is well balanced, walking a fine line between able to take and deal out heavy punishment, yet being able to speedily slip away once the task is done.
Test logs
Day one: Today revolved around getting a feel for the ship, as balanced as it is, I can't help but point out the heavy nature of the ship. Engines only ever do so much to offset the armour of any ship. I must admit I was set on the idea that bombers were slow, unmaneuverable and were at a significant disadvantage when it came to defence and pursuit. This line of thought does not hold completely true for the LHX7. As mentioned however, this ship very well balanced, it's turn rate and engine kill speed disprove my assertions that bombers were slow and couldn't defend themselves. In the right hands this ship can quite easily hold it's own in a fight. There are few performance issues of note. Day one concludes with no issues or observations of note.
Day two: Having familiarized myself with the movement and weight of the ship I began to test it's stress levels, putting it through it's paces, as it were. To say it is 'fast' would be doing it a disservice, it's speed puts most super heavy fighters and a few very heavy fighters to shame. The boys down in engineering went all out with the engines, that much is obvious. I dare say someone from intelligence also suggested that the ship be able to recharge it's core quicker than the average bomber. This ship can sneak up on a target, charge it's core quickly and then leg it. Due to its balance, flying it under pressure is not an issue. Credit to the boys at Mactan for helping me.
Day three: Weapons testing is always enjoyable, but I simply wish to say that I was a little scared by what I saw today and I feel nothing but pity for the widows this ship will leave behind. And I do say widows because I cannot see how there would be any survivors should 'hellstorm' hit it's target. The main cannon (the 'hellstorm') is capable of destroying light fighters, VHFs, SHFs, bombers and civilian transports in one shot. It ignores all 'lesser' armour types and is only stopped with capital and heavy armour classes. Even then, Gunboats best take care, this weapon will burn through armour faster than most captains would like if they are careless. If a wing of these ships were on the prowl then simple Gunboats will not be enough, a group of Hellstrom's fired in unison will cause significant damage to Cruisers.[/spoiler]
LHX7-B5H "Tormentor" Lane Hacker Bomber
Faced with an increasing pressure from the capital vessels of more and more aggressive domestic fleets, Lane Hackers desperately required an appropriate response. This response was the Tormentor. Developed over a year of extensive modifications of the LX7 mainframe the ship is a complete contradiction of a typical Hacker design. Equipped with an overpowered prototype double-core engine, reinforced plating and vast array of heavy armaments this state-of-the-art bomber looks heavy, feels heavy and delivers a punishment worthy of its name. Instead of relying on agility and swiftness for survival, Tormentor combines firepower with advanced guidance and electronic warfare systems designed to crush any opposition and vanish long before hostile reinforcements can arrive.
"Hellstorm" Lane Hacker Plasma Forward Gun
Hellstorm is an example of how quick and efficient Lane Hackers can be in reverse-engineering of stolen technology. Shortly after market debut of first prototypes of plasma bomb Lane Hacker engineers started experimenting with a concept of a particle accelerator utilizing electromagnetic rails to propel and overheat plasma. Hellstorm's initial plasma charge is formed in an ionization chamber and then ejected into a long tube where electromagnetic field increases its velocity and energy load. As a result fired projectile is faster and more devastating than a regular plasma bomb, while its electromagnetic discharge remains deadly for any shield generator. The only downside of Hellstorm design is that it is too large for standard weapon mounts and has to be built deep into a ship fuselage.

A Feb. 14 rainstorm destroyed two roads leading to the community. Access is limited to Highway 79 from Temecula and Highway 74 in Palm Desert.
There are still two roads leading to Idyllwild after a Valentine's Day storm destroyed another pair of roads to the San Jacinto Mountain community, but area business owners say they're continuing to feel the impacts four weeks later.
Fewer people have been visiting Idyllwild than usual since the Feb. 14 storm shut down Highway 243 from Banning and the west side of Highway 74 from Hemet. Both roads are expected to remain closed for four months, and Idyllwild residents say there's a misconception there's no way up or down the mountain.
It appears tourists are already convinced the town is off limits and they're not even calling to inquire about reservations, said Denise Day, who owns Woodland Park Manor.
"I think people have Idyllwild out of their minds as a destination," she said. "We don't have the opportunity to tell them everything is fine."
Business owners are trying to spread the word that their doors have remained open since Feb. 14 and that Idyllwild is accessible from Highway 79 in Temecula and Highway 74 in Palm Desert.
More: Palm Springs' longest 'cold snap' ends, lasts 100 days. Will it stay warm?
Caltrans has issued notifications that people can still get to Idyllwild and scattered along the roads are electronic signs advising people that businesses are open.
Nonetheless, tourism has remained stagnant and business owners say they've been forced to lay off workers after enduring dips in revenue.
Idyllwild Help Center, a nonprofit that assists impoverished residents, registered 15 new clients since Feb. 14, said Julia Ledesma, who manages the center's thrift store. She said each of them had been laid off from their jobs.
Ledesma added her husband is a handyman who occasionally works in the Coachella Valley and he was recently approached by people wondering how he even got down the mountain — a further indication that not everyone is aware Idyllwild is accessible.
Katie White, who owns Idyllwild Bake Shop & Brew, said her coffee shop shut down three times since last month because business was slow. Some of her 13 workers took jobs elsewhere because they weren't busy, and she told others they just didn't need to show up at all.
There's usually a line of customers stretching out her door on weekends, but there was enough downtime Sunday morning for one of her remaining five workers to handle other tasks between serving cups of coffee.
"There's just not that normal crowd coming here," White said. "If the town doesn't get busy, it's not just me losing money; it's the whole town."
MORE:When will this year's wildflower super bloom happen in the desert?
Alex Mussa, who owns Mountain Top Liquor, says he's avoided layoffs by doing two things: Keeping his business open extra hours in hopes of making extra revenue, and working extra hours himself, even if it means staying at the store until 1 a.m.
"Basically, I'm living here now," he said.
Like other business owners, Mussa is asking people to visit Idyllwild to support all of its business owners and residents.
"Please keep coming. We need you guys and it's beautiful here," he said.

Whirlpool 30 inch 1.1 cu. ft. Low Profile Microwave Hood Combination in Stainless Steel YWML75011HZ is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 322.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Missi100 from Beautiful and it fits! We just got this installed today and I love it! Our other microwave was a casualty of Irma so when we finally were ready to replace it, we started searching for a low profile model that would be further away from the cook top. This fits the bill perfectly. The stainless option coordinates well with our existing appliances. Since it is deeper than our previous microwave, I love that there is no handle that sticks out and that the controls are hidden behind the door. And, with the additional depth, the exhaust fan will pull heat/steam from all four burners, not just the ones in the back. Bottom line, great design and exactly what we wanted.

On December 14th, Group Cobra, along with its subsidiary company Bow Power, approved to sell its project "Cajamarca" to Red Electrica of Peru for 205 MUSD.
Cajamarca involves an exploitation concession for 30 years of a power line of 220 Kv and 4 electrical sub-stations. The power line has an approximate length of 370km long, which connects the northern territories of Peru, including the regions of Carhuaquero, Cajamarca, Calic and Moyobamba.
On November of 2012, the concession was awarded to Cobra through public tender and it begun to take part of Bow Power in 2015. The development of the project has been produced and executed in all of its totality by the electric subsidiary. Even though the land's orography was complex, over two thousand properties has been already crossed. As well as the different interactions with indigenous communities in the territories, that made it difficult to the social management control. These complications, as well as the complex operating territories, creates Cajamarca a distinctive challenging constructive project.
In November of 2017, it entered into a commercial procedure, maintaining an availability of more than 99,99%. In September of 2018 it was re-financed through a 29-year debt in the North American market after obtaining a credit rating of BBB-by S & P.

NEW YORK: Days after North Korea fired a mid-range ballistic missile over Japan, India has asked for investigations into the country's nuclear proliferation linkages and also asked to hold accountable those responsible for it, in a veiled reference to Pakistan.
"External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj deplored North Korea's recent actions and stated that its proliferation linkages must be explored and those involved must be held accountable," the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar told reporters in New York.
Last week, India had said at the United Nations that nuclear proliferation linkages active today have clear "Pakistan fingerprints" and an "unbridled' expansion of fissile material under the nexus between state and non-state actors constitutes the biggest threat to peace.
Without naming Pakistan, the foreign ministry spokesperson today said, "I think I am giving you enough material to try to figure out what we are talking about."
The Foreign Minister's remarks come days after North Korea's sixth and most powerful nuclear test on September 3, which was in direct defiance of the United Nations sanctions and other international pressure.
Ms Swaraj's assertion in this regard came during her trilateral meeting with US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and her Japanese counterpart Taro Kono on Monday on the sidelines of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly session in New York.
In addition to proliferation, the three leaders discussed the issue of maritime security and connectivity.
"Three broad issues were discussed -- maritime security connectivity and proliferation. We have spelled out what these heads mean on security the ministers emphasised the need to ensure freedom of navigation respect for international law and peaceful resolution of disputes," Mr Kumar said.
"On connectivity, there was discussion on how to base them on universally recognised international norms prudent financing and respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said.


Had a great trip, weather beautiful - an Indian summer. Travelled all over the capital for different family and work related events - no wonder people love it - since the Olympics, London has kept its best clothes on, spruced up, looking good and offering a great welcome to visitors and tourists. The magnificent landmark buildings, Royal parks and squares are all worthy of their global reputation for grandeur, architecture and classical culture. The all pervading sense of history never fails to produce a sense of awe. Walking across the river Thames is like being in a sweeping epic film where the past and future merge and offer endless possibilities for adventure, romance and life enhancing experiences.
Shoppers on the main retail thoroughfares, Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street were already in holiday mood and Selfridges' Christmas windows look particularly stunning. My American friends envy me my trips to London - I know why - it is one of the world's great cities, And I didn't need my umbrella once!

Bungie has recently released the first footage of their upcoming FPS title "Destiny" (seen above), their first FPS game release since branching off of Microsoft and the Halo series. Though the exact date of release isn't set until near the end of 2013 for Xbox 360 and PS3, the company is banking a lot of their support on its development in the hopes that they once again redefine the FPS genre. You may have also noticed that a release for PC was not mentioned there.
In fact, the confidence at this redefinition is so high that Bungie co-founder Jason Jones has stated on Destructoid,
"We did a bunch of ambitious things on Halo deliberately to reach out to people. We limited players to two weapons, we gave them recharging health, we automatically saved and restored the game -- almost heretical things to first-person shooters at the time. We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo 'cause nobody wants to."
Yeah, we had to re-read his statement too. Apparently, FPS gaming with a mouse and keyboard is no longer popular. With the gaming worlds of Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, etc. being played on console, there's apparently no longer a future of FPS gaming with the good ol' mouse and keyboard.
...Or Jason completely forgot about Counter Strike (with 1.6 still being the most popular title played today), Team Fortress 2, Planetside 2, PC versions of Call of Duty...we think you get it. It's not really understood where he was going with such a blatantly incorrect statement, but we get the feeling that there's going to be some backlash from the old fashioned mouse and keyboard gamers.


A more serious possible outcome of the "tug of war" between magnetic field patches in northern Canada and Siberia, which some scientists say is causing the accelerated movement of the magnetic north pole, is its potential to weaken the magnetic shield sparing earth from deadly solar and cosmic radiation. Changes in that underground flow can alter the Earth's magnetic field lines - and the poles where they converge. In the five years between public updates, magnetic observations from the European Space Agency's Swarm mission are studied to track the movement of the poles.
Airport runways are named with numeric identifiers based on where magnetic north is.
"The difficulty is that we don't have a way to directly observe what is happening in the Earth's core so we have to make a lot of assumptions", Arnaud Chulliat, a geomagnetist at the University of Colorado Boulder and NOA, who works on the WMM, told Motherboard. There is a hot liquid ocean of iron and nickel in the planet's core where the motion generates an electric field, said University of Maryland geophysicist Dr Daniel Lathrop.
The movement of the magnetic north pole "is pretty fast", Chulliat said.
Since 1831, the north magnetic has been moving across the Canadian Arctic towards Russian Federation, which is unlike the geographic north pole, which is fixed, NOAA reported. Records of ancient magnetic fields from extremely old rocks show that the poles can even flip - an event that has occurred an average of three times every million years.
Some scientists believe that Earth could be heading for a magnetic pole reversal. Declination is important to compasses as it helps correct navigation systems for a variety of uses.
The magnetic field shields Earth from some unsafe radiation, Mr Lathrop said. Everyday users of maps applications will never notice the subtleties caused by a misplaced magnetic pole, but submarines and aircraft do still rely on compasses in addition to newer technologies.

Wealthsimple Cash review: Hybrid accounts, FinTech, and what it means for you
Posted on January 24, 2020 March 4, 2021
Wealthsimple, the 5-year old online investment service, has introduced Wealthsimple Cash, which is being branded as a hybrid chequing and savings account with a 2.40% interest rate.
Wealthsimple Cash is the evolution of Weathsimple Save (originally called Wealthsimple Smart Savings, launched in partnership with EQ Bank). It is technically, as of today, mostly a savings account with an updated interest rate, but promises that some key chequing account features are coming soon.
The interest rate would rank well on our high interest savings comparison chart; it would be tied with Outlook Financial behind LBC Digital (3.30%), Motive Financial (2.80%), EQ Bank (2.45%), and MAXA Financial (2.45%).
Note that Wealthsimple Cash cannot be held inside a TFSA or RRSP. It is also not CDIC insured, although the deposits are stored at 2 of the 6 Canadian Big Banks — Wealthsimple declines to mention which ones specifically — and are CIPF insured.
Hybrid account: is it chequing or savings? It's both!
Once the chequing account features are added, Wealthsimple Cash will be a hybrid chequing and savings account — designed so that you can do all of your day-to-day banking and savings needs in one account. This way, you don't have to manage cash flow between the chequing and savings accounts, or worry about holding large minimum balances in order to avoid chequing acccount fees.
Currently, the other main competitor in the "hybrid account" space is the EQ Bank Savings Plus Account, which was originally a Wealthsimple Save partner. EQ Bank not-so-coincidentally increased its hybrid account interest rate from 2.30% to 2.45% 2 days after the Wealthsimple Cash announcement, in order to top Wealthsimple Cash's 2.40% interest rate by 0.05%.
Wealthsimple Cash is a no-fee account with no minimum account balance. It will soon include bill payments and free Interac e-Transfers. After that, there are some differences in features between Wealthsimple Cash and EQ Bank.
Weathsimple Cash supports joint accounts, which are apparently coming soon to EQ Bank.
You'll be able to make purchases and ATM/ABM withdrawals (with ATM fee reimbursements) with Wealthsimple Cash's Prepaid Visa card (made of tungsten, as it appears to be trendy to have metal cards) rather than a traditional debit card. It won't charge you a foreign currency exchange transaction fee if you make purchases in US dollars for example. (It's a Visa after all, and there are quite a few pure credit card options that also waive the forex fee.) Although not quite the same, EQ Bank has its own forex partnership with Wise (formerly TransferWise) for sending money internationally.
FinTech and why you should care
Wealthsimple has been touted as one of the great examples of FinTech in Canada. But is the definition of "financial technology" actually important to you? When EQ Bank talks about moving their core banking system to the cloud, is it as good as they say it is?
Wealthsimple Cash and the EQ Bank Savings Plus Account are branded as a different type of account. However, while EQ Bank is a Schedule I Bank, Wealthsimple is not. It's up to you to decide whether the lack of technical CDIC coverage at Wealthsimple is a deal breaker.
What is clear is that FinTech is helping to accelerate innovation in personal banking. 91% of Canadians believe that "banking has become a lot more convenient because of new technologies". Wealthsimple Cash's Prepaid Visa will be implemented in partnership with Peoples Trust, using a similar setup that Peoples Trust already has with the KOHO Visa and Stack Mastercard. Both of those cards have an offering that waives foreign currency exchange fees, and offer rewards such as cash back. KOHO even has a 2.00% savings account that is not CDIC-insured and that is "offered by Canadian ShareOwner Investments Inc" — a company owned by Wealthsimple.
Wealthsimple has been steadily adding to its offerings, including its commission-free stock trading platform Wealthsimple Trade and its recent acquisition of SimpleTax, one of the most used tax return software. This is helping to make more Canadians aware of FinTech's reach, even though the Big Banks play a part in some of the offerings and still hold 90% of assets.

"How does a dedicated software developer communicate and report to the client?" This question shall be answered in this blog post. Therefore giving an insight, for future Software Developer India employees as well as clients of Software Developer India, on how reporting and communication is structured at our company.
At Software Developer India the IT professional employed with us communicate with the client mainly through the following 7 channels.
Here the communication channel are the people involved. Good questions to ask oneself here is: How well do we know our counterparts? Who is on the other side of the line? The company who hires a dedicated developer from Software Developer India should get to know that person very well. This can be done through the selection process which will be done together. Also in a later process the company should try to get to know that person better and establish a relationship with him/ her.
Another crucial process which can be attributed to "communication and reporting". In this initial workshop which is right after the successful selection process, the dedicated IT professional as well as the recruiting company define the way in which they work together. Here it is of importance that the employee gets an idea on how "things are getting done" at the client side. Are there any special requirements for reporting or special project management tools? Everything should be worked out here. At Software Developer India we also suggest an "Operations Manual" to which the hired employee can refer back to in case of doubts.
What has been done yesterday?
What is going to be done today?
Here parts of the project can be showcased to the client. Shortcomings can be discussed here. Normally these sessions will have a length of 30 minutes to 1 hour.
These sessions are also of one hour length and can be used for performance reviews and cornerstones for improving the collaboration between the dedicated IT professional as well as the client.
A professional project management tool can help to improve communications. It can help to be on the same page when it comes to project progression.
This seems to be a quite basic tool but it can help communication so that the programmer can clarify doubts about the given requirements.
These 7 channels are basically used for interacting with the client at Software Developer India. We always appreciate input from clients on how to communicate effectively.
WordPress vs Drupal: Which CMS is the better choice?
We work closely with you, to understand your requirements and subsequently hire and provide you with the right software developer. We will ensure that your software project stays on track and business value is created.


Did You Know Whistleblowers Can Divulge Trade Secrets?
The prevalence of employees identifying themselves as "whistleblowers" has expanded in recent years due to expansion of federal and state whistleblower rights. Recently, a recently enacted federal law, the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 ("DTSA"), created a new class of whistleblower protection rights. The DTSA creates a federal private civil action for the misappropriation of trade secrets. Included in this Act, however, is a provision for immunity from both civil and criminal allegations, under state and federal law, for employees and independent contractors who are whistleblowers.
The DTSA's whistleblower immunity provision provides that an employee may disclose confidential information or a trade secret, without violating the DTSA, if the disclosure is made: (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if the filing is made under seal (and thus not available as part of the public record).
As part of the whistleblower immunity provision, employers must provide a "notice of immunity" to any employee or contractor, if such employee or contractor has a "contract or agreement . . . that governs the use of a trade secret or other confidential information." This notice requirement covers contracts and agreements that are entered into, or updated after, the date of enactment of the DTSA, which was May 11, 2016. The notice can be made by cross-referencing policy documents concerning such protections that have been previously provided to the employee, if such documents exist.
Failure to comply with the DTSA's whistleblower immunity notice requirement will prevent an employer who later sues their employee or contractor for trade secret misappropriation under the Act from collecting exemplary and double-damages or attorney's fees. Employers should review their policy documents and consult with counsel to determine compliance with the new notice requirements under the DTSA.

Education and Work: Access, Equity and Pathways
Research within our Education and Work theme draws on the population diversity of Western Sydney to underpin research that explores educational access on a global scale. This research theme supports individuals and communities in achieving their economic, social and cultural aspirations through education.
Our research is concerned with the potential for education to transform the way people live and learn. Education needs to be responsive and inclusive, especially in times increasingly being influenced by rapid social, economic and technological change. Research in this theme draws together researchers from across our Schools and Institutes. The School of Education's Centre for Educational Research brings together researchers with a long history of engagement with educational institutions and schools across Western Sydney and beyond. Through Western's MARCS Institute, and in collaboration with the School of Social Sciences and Psychology, the School of Education, and the School of Nursing and Midwifery, we promote improved early childhood learning, focussing on the building blocks of speech and language learning. The critical need for improved outcomes in STEM connects researchers across the School of Education, MARCS, and the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, among others.
As western economies transition from manufacturing to knowledge industries as the key driver of productivity and economic prosperity, educational attainment and economic success will be twinned. This is true both for the individual and the nation. There is a need for effective, comprehensive and inclusive education at all levels.
The University's backyard is a microcosm of this global challenge. With a changing industry mix and manufacturing as a diminishing source of employment, understanding and addressing issues affecting access to education is crucial to the prosperity of Western Sydney and the nation.

Impact Snapshot
Futuro Infantil Hoy: Our Children's Future, Today
It might be a truism that it takes a village to raise a child, but most of the time families and communities are left outside the school gates with no way to participate in the education of their children. Futuro Infantil Hoy (FIH), a project led by Associate Professor Christine Woodrow from the Centre for Educational Research, addressed the absence of family and community engagement in schools in Chile and Western Sydney.
FIH built peer support for early childhood learning through local, networked communities of practice. Parents were invited to meet with teachers to inform curriculum and pedagogy – not just when their children were in trouble! Through careful and consistent engagement, a new pedagogical model was established that could be owned, adapted and managed by the community. Early childhood centres provided the 'hub' for integration and capacity building among parents, engaging them to be active partners in their child's learning.
The impact of FIH has spread from 20 schools in Chile to 18 pre-schools in Western Sydney, with over 5,000 children and their families – alongside 500 educators – experiencing the benefits of family and community engagement in education, including dramatic increases in language and maths performance.
