Otter Creek Trail - Hiking
The Otter Creek Trail does some climbing, but the commanding view of the Ohio River is worth the effort.
Christian von Montfort
With 2,600 acres to explore, Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area is the perfect place to spend a day or a weekend—and its namesake loop trail provides excellent views of it all.
The loop is a moderate distance and has relatively little elevation gain.

Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area
Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area has changed hands a number of times since its inception in the 1930s, and was briefly closed between 2009 and 2011. Since its reopening under the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife, the park has seen a number of improvements. Today, Otter Creek—named for a tributary to the Ohio River, which flows along the eastern boundary of the park—is home to a selection of activities, including hiking, mountain biking, camping, and boating. The best introduction to the park, though, is the 5-mile Otter Creek Trail, which provides commanding views of the surrounding Kentucky scenery.
The Otter Creek Trail is one of eight multi-use trails in the park. This loop combines the Otter Creek Trail with the adjacent Red Cedar Trail for a 5-mile loop that allows hikers to check out the best parts of Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area. The trail eventually climbs the cave-riddled limestone bluffs for an impressive view of the Ohio River, which also serves as the Kentucky-Indiana state line. The trail then drops back down into the forest, where you'll meet up with the Red Cedar Trail. Trail markers at the park aren't always obvious, so pay close attention as the trail descends onto the banks of the Ohio. The Red Cedar Trail winds alongside Fort Knox. Any loud noises you hear while hiking are likely a result of artillery on the base. Eventually, the trail meets back up with both the Otter Creek Trail and its namesake creek. This trail heads all the way to the trailhead, winding its way through serene Kentucky old-growth forest.
Otter Creek Trail gains very little elevation, though there is some climbing up to the bluffs overlooking the Ohio River. This trail is appropriate for inexperienced hikers and families with hardy kids, thanks to several opportunities to head back to the trailhead midway through the loop. Because most trails at Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area are multi-use, it's important to keep dogs on a leash and watch out for equestrian and mountain bike traffic.
From Louisville, follow US-31W to its intersection with KY-1638 and take a right. Head about four miles on KY-1638 to the park entrance station. The $3/person fee for hikers can be paid at the entrance station—bikers and equestrians pay a $7/person fee per day. Tent camping is available for $12/night from May through October, either by reservation (call 502-492-9854) or on a first-come, first-served basis.

When phoning a journalist always think about their deadlines so you don't ring at the most inappropriate time.
I've known journalists to refuse to give some PR agencies the time of day because they'd ring when their radio show was on air or during the news.
For example never ring a journalist in a radio newsroom ten minutes to the hour or during the news at the top of the hour. The best time is just after the news bulletin.
If you want to speak to a producer for a radio or television show wait to ring when the show has finished unless it is a breaking news story.
Print journalists usually get in around 9am and are contactable in the mornings but around 4pm they're busy with a looming deadline so refrain from ringing then.

On 16 March 2019, Australian senator Fraser Anning was hit with an egg while he made a statement regarding the Christchurch mosque shootings. The egg was crushed on the back of Anning's head reportedly by William Connolly at a conference in Moorabbin, Victoria who was simultaneously filming the action on a mobile phone. In response, Anning twice struck the teenager in the face. Connolly was later dubbed "Eggboy" on social media. Connolly was later praised as a hero and people have began donating money for more eggs.
On 15 March 2019, a white supremacist terrorist killed 50 people in the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand. Immediately after that, far-right independent Australian Senator Fraser Anning released an official statement that was widely condemned both within and outside Australia for being Islamophobic and insensitive to the victims of the terrorist attack. Within a day of his statement, a petition calling for his expulsion from the Australian parliament had amassed 1,250,000 signatures.

The Wonderful Truth about Heaven and Hell
August 6, 2017 podcast, Religion#AskSteveAustin, #graceismessy, 8 habits of love, ed bacon, fear of hell, podcastasksteveaustin
On Episode 15 of the #AskSteveAustin Podcast, Steve Austin talks with a very special guest, The Reverend Ed Bacon. Together, these friends discuss the wonderful truth about Heaven and Hell. Having conversations around Heaven and Hell can be heavy, scary, and devisive. That's exactly why Steve invited Ed Bacon for this "Ask the Expert" segment.
Notes from Steve:
This is the most important conversation I've ever had on the #AskSteveAustin podcast. In this episode, we ask the all-important question, "Is God a god of Love, or Fear?" Your answer to that question changes everything.
Is your identity based in Love or Fear?
Do you want to look at your screw-ups and be able to forgive them?
Are you terrified of Hell?
How do we reconcile a God of Love with multiple Biblical accounts of a God of vengance and violence?
If no Hell, why Jesus?
What would it mean to redefine salvation?
"But what about murderers, rapists, and pedophiles?" Trust me, we'll cover that one, too.
If we say "God is Love", & "nothing can separate us from God", isn't that a bit dangerous? I can't wait for you to hear Ed's response to this!
A few quotes by Rev. Ed Bacon:
"Fear is the opposite of reconciliation, harmony, and peace."
"I have never had an experience with God that was fearful."
"It is very exhilirating to know, believe, preach, and embody the fact that God is love."
"We are better than the worst thing we've ever done."

A seguir está uma lista de naves estelares, cruzadores, navios de guerra e outras espaçonaves dos filmes, livros e videogames de Star Wars.

Nave espacial aparecendo na trilogia original

Estrela da Morte
A Estrela da Morte é a estação de batalha do Império que pode destruir planetas. Ele aparece em toda a franquia Star Wars, particularmente na trilogia original.

Executor (Super Star Destroyer)

O Executor serve como carro-chefe pessoal de Darth Vader durante os eventos de O Império Contra Ataca , liderando o Esquadrão da Morte contra a Aliança Rebelde em Hoth e em busca do Millennium Falcon . Ele aparece novamente em O Retorno dos Jedi onde, durante a batalha espacial final, é destruído depois que uma asa Rebel A bate na ponte de comando, fazendo com que o Executor perca o controle e seja destruído quando a gravidade da segunda Estrela da Morte puxa o carro-chefe em sua superfície.

Para O Império Contra-Ataca, George Lucas queria que o Executor fosse tão grande que fizesse os Destruidores Estelares anteriores parecerem minúsculos. Um modelo de seis pés do Executor foi construído com mais de 150.000 luzes individuais nele. De acordo com o fabricante-chefe de modelos Lorne Peterson, o navio foi originalmente dimensionado para parecer com 16 milhas de comprimento, embora fontes posteriores tenham corrigido este número.

De acordo com fontes de Star Wars no universo, o Executor era a nave principal de uma nova classe de Star Dreadnoughts; o termo "Super Star Destroyer" é um coloquialismo aplicado a qualquer nave maior do que um Imperial Star Destroyer padrão. Aos  comprimento, o navio eriça-se com milhares de turbolasers, canhões de íons, lançadores de mísseis e feixes de trator. Da mesma forma, transporta mais de mil navios, incluindo TIE Fighters .

Home One (cruzador Mon Calamari)

Home One fez sua aparição teatral em O Retorno dos Jedi como a nau capitânia do Almirante Ackbar durante a Batalha de Endor . O design do modelo, assim como o de outros cruzadores Mon Calamari que aparecerão no filme, foi um esforço colaborativo entre George Lucas, Nilo Rodis-Jamero e Joe Johnston . A aparência mais orgânica dos cruzadores contrastava fortemente com o design dos navios do Império, e comparada pelo supervisor de efeitos especiais Ken Ralston a "um desenho de Moebius".

O material de fundo identifica o Home One como um MC80A Star Cruiser, uma classe de nave originalmente construída pelos Mon Calamari para exploração do espaço profundo, mas adaptada para a guerra. Por servir como centro de comando e controle do almirante Ackbar, também é conhecido como fragata do quartel-general. O maior e mais avançado navio de capital da frota da Aliança Rebelde, o Home One tem  comprimento e possui extenso armamento com 29 baterias turbolaser, 36 baterias de canhão de íons e seis projetores de raio trator . Vinte hangares permitem que o Home One funcione como um transportador para esquadrões de caças estelares e outras naves. Algumas seções do Home One também são preenchidas com água para reproduzir o ambiente natural do mundo natal dos Mon Calamari.

Embarcação de desembarque imperial (embarcação de desembarque da classe Sentinel)
As embarcações de desembarque imperiais (ou embarcações de desembarque da classe Sentinel ) foram projetadas para o lançamento da Edição Especial do Episódio IV de Star Wars: Uma Nova Esperança e criadas inteiramente com CGI . No entanto, eles apareceram pela primeira vez em produtos da campanha multimídia Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. De acordo com fontes do universo, a missão principal para naves da classe Sentinel é implantar forças militares imperiais da órbita em um planeta, embora possa ser usado para outras missões, incluindo reconhecimento de curto alcance, transporte de carga e apoio aéreo aproximado . Fortemente blindados e equipados com poderosos escudos defletores, os landers imperiais carregam oito canhões laser, dois lançadores de mísseis de concussão, dois canhões blaster e uma torre de canhão de íons. Como transporte de tropas, pode transportar 54 stormtroopers para a batalha ou transportar veículos através de um pod de carga instalado em sua parte inferior.

Ônibus imperial (ônibus de classe Lambda)
As lançadeiras Lambda- classe T4a apareceram pela primeira vez em Star Wars: Episódio VI - O Retorno dos Jedi, e mais tarde foram adicionadas ao lançamento da Edição Especial de O Império Contra Ataca . Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie e Nilo Rodis-Jamero pegaram emprestados elementos do skyhopper projetado para A New Hope ao refinar a aparência do ônibus espacial. As versões anteriores eram quadradas, parecidas com barcos ou tinham componentes parecidos com os do caça TIE. Os criadores de modelos da Industrial Light and Magic fizeram dois modelos de tiro, embora as versões CGI tenham sido usadas para a aparência da edição especial da nave em The Empire Strikes Back . A nave da classe Theta em Revenge of the Sith foi projetada para aparecer como uma predecessora da classe Lambda. Uma nave da classe Lambda faz uma aparição especial durante a sequência de atracação da nave de Inara Serra em " Serenity ", o episódio piloto de Firefly de Joss Whedon .

De acordo com o material de referência, os ônibus espaciais da classe Lambda são uma das embarcações mais comuns na Marinha Imperial e podem ser configurados para uma série de funções, incluindo transporte de carga, transporte de tropas ou correio diplomático. É um transporte pessoal popular para oficiais imperiais de alto escalão, pois seu armamento, casco reforçado e proteção defletor permitem que ele viaje com segurança, mesmo sem escolta. O ônibus espacial é impulsionado por dois motores iônicos, enquanto um hiperdrive permite viagens de longa distância. Aos  comprimento, o ônibus pode transportar até 20 passageiros na configuração padrão ou até 80 toneladas métricas (176.370 libras) de carga. Uma tripulação de dois a seis pilota o ônibus espacial em uma cabine dianteira, que em uma emergência pode se desprender do corpo principal do veículo; nem todos os 20 passageiros podem caber na cabine, então o pessoal mais graduado tem prioridade para escapar. Para armamento, o lançador de classe Lambda está equipado com dois canhões blaster duplos Taim & Bak KX5 nas asas dobráveis, dois canhões laser duplos Taim & Bak GA-60s montados na frente e um canhão blaster duplo retrátil ArMek R-Z0 montado na parte traseira .

Destruidor Estelar Imperial

Os Destroyers Estelares são as naves de assalto do Império Galáctico. Muito parecido com os navios de assalto da República, os dois têm cascos, pontes, motores e muitas outras peças semelhantes. Eles aparecem em uma variedade de formas em toda a franquia Star Wars. O Devastador, um Dreadnought da classe Executor, foi destruído durante a Batalha de Jakku.

Millennium Falcon (cargueiro leve YT-1300)
O Millennium Falcon é um cargueiro leve YT-1300F altamente modificado, comandado pelo contrabandista Han Solo ( Harrison Ford ) e seu primeiro imediato Wookiee, Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew ).

O cargueiro leve Corelliano YT-1300, fabricado pela Corellian Engineering Corpoação de Engenharia Coreliana, era essencialmente uma "empilhadeira" gigante projetada para rebocar navios porta-contêineres gigantes. Como um dos projetos de maior sucesso da história, o apelo da embarcação não é seu equipamento básico, mas sua capacidade modular de suportar uma quantidade extraordinária de modificações e alterações. Mas a desvantagem é que o cockpit sendo colocado do lado direito torna extremamente difícil pilotá-lo corretamente. Sua popularidade entre os capitães de cargueiros de toda a galáxia garantiu a operação comercial na galáxia durante os dias finais da República Galáctica e o reinado do Império Galáctico.

Fragata Médica Rebelde (fragata Nebulon-B)
Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill ) recebe uma prótese de mão a bordo da Redemption, uma fragata de escolta Nebulon-B modificada, na conclusão de Star Wars: Episódio V - O Império Contra-Ataca . Uma fragata médica Nebulon-B faz parte da frota da Aliança Rebelde na Batalha de Endor no Retorno dos Jedi . O material do Universo Expandido afirma que fragatas Nebulon-B relativamente acessíveis, que são eficazes no combate a caças estelares, são usadas pela Rebelião e pelo Império Galáctico . As fragatas aparecem em vários títulos da LucasArts, incluindo a série de simuladores de vôo X-Wing, o jogo de estratégia em tempo real Empire at War e Star Wars: Battlefront, bem como os episódios 'Zero Hour' e 'Secret Cargo' de Star Wars Rebels .

Nilo Rodis-Jamero e Joe Johnston da Industrial Light & Magic criaram a fragata tarde durante o trabalho em The Empire Strikes Back, com o design seguindo uma sugestão de George Lucas de que fosse baseado em um motor de popa . O modelo foi produzido em um curto espaço de tempo com acesso financeiro limitado; foi construído principalmente a partir de componentes que sobraram de exercícios de kitbashing anteriores, incluindo cascos de navios de guerra e peças de artilharia. O modelo resultante tinha  comprimento,  altura e incluía uma "janela" onde uma foto da cena na baía médica poderia ser inserida para filmagem.

Após a conclusão das filmagens, Lucas decidiu revisitar o final do filme para estabelecer melhor as localizações finais dos personagens, exigindo a construção de uma seção da fragata que correspondesse à escala de  Modelo Millennium Falcon. O modelo foi inicialmente referido como o starcruiser Rebel Rebel ou cruiser, mas durante as filmagens de O Retorno de Jedi, foi rebatizado Fragata Médica Rebelde depois do nome do cruzador foi usado para os cruzadores Mon Calamari .

De acordo com fontes dentro do universo, a fragata de escolta EF76 Nebulon-B é um projeto versátil que pode ser modificado para cumprir uma variedade de funções diferentes, de reconhecimento de longo alcance a missões de busca e resgate. Quando totalmente armado, o  comprimento está equipada com doze turbolasers, doze canhões de laser e um par de projetores de raio trator e pode transportar um esquadrão completo de caças estelares. O projeto é mais famoso por servir como fragatas médicas, com instalações hospitalares de serviço completo e capacidade para 700 pacientes.

Transporte rebelde (transporte médio GR-75)
Os transportes médios GR-75 são uma classe de navios que apareceu pela primeira vez em The Empire Strikes Back durante a evacuação da Base Echo em Hoth, e fez aparições em outras mídias. Apenas  comprimento, esses navios são descritos em fontes de Star Wars como amplamente consistindo de um casco externo espesso com seu interior totalmente aberto para pods de carga modulares. Estes são mantidos no lugar por um escudo magnético e permitem o transporte para acomodar  de carga. Baratos e fáceis de manter, esses transportes são equipados apenas com quatro canhões de laser gêmeos e escudos defletores mínimos, embora alguns sejam adaptados para combate.

Slave I (Firespray 31)
Slave 1 é a nave usada pelo caçador de recompensas Boba Fett ( Jeremy Bulloch ) em O Império Contra Ataca e The Mandalorian (em que Boba é interpretado por Temuera Morrison ), e por seu pai Jango Fett (também interpretado por Morrison) no Ataque do Clones . Dizem que o design do navio lembra a forma de um poste de luz . No entanto, a verdadeira inspiração para o formato do navio foi um prato de radar, de acordo com Nilo Rodis-Jamero, o assistente de direção de arte e criador de efeitos visuais em The Empire Strikes Back . Rodis-Jamero criou o design inicial depois de ver as idéias de Joe Johnston para o Boba Fett, e afirma que "o design original que eu tinha era redondo, mas quando você olhava de lado, tornou-se elíptico. . . George [Lucas] achou que era elíptico, então foi assim que se tornou. " Ele prossegue dizendo que "[ao] construir o navio na ILM, alguém olhou para os postes de luz e observou que se pareciam com o navio de Boba. Assim, todos começaram a pensar que foi daí que tirei a ideia do design. " Sua aparência no lançamento original de O Império Contra Ataca foi realizada por uma combinação de pinturas mate e uma  modelo.

De acordo com o material de referência do universo, o Slave I é uma nave de patrulha modificada da classe Firespray produzida pela Kuat Systems Engineering. Única em design, a classe Firespray tem um conjunto de motor distinto no qual o navio repousa quando pousa, mas quando em vôo o navio gira 90 graus para que a cabine montada no topo fique voltada para a frente. A gravidade artificial da nave se reorienta de forma semelhante, dependendo do modo de vôo, enquanto as aletas estabilizadoras rotativas em ambos os lados carregam repulsores para auxiliar no pouso. A classe viu apenas uma produção limitada, já que era considerada muito armada para uso civil, muito fraca para a frota doméstica de Kuat e muito confiável para o negócio de manutenção pós-venda. Jango Fett escolheu a embarcação por, entre outras razões, sua aparência anônima, mas a modificou fortemente com armamento adicional, quartos de tripulação expandidos e gabinetes de prisioneiros mais seguros (e menos humanos).

Depois de herdar o Slave I de seu pai, Boba Fett fez modificações adicionais na embarcação. Isso inclui um dispositivo militar secreto (e roubado) de bloqueio e mascaramento de sensores que permite que a nave desapareça da maioria dos sistemas de sensores, imobilizando beliches para até seis prisioneiros e ainda mais armamento. Os armamentos incluem 2 canhões blaster giratórios gêmeos Borstel GN-40 , 2 lançadores de mísseis de concussão Dymek HM-8 , um canhão de íons Brugiss C / In, um projetor de raio trator Phylon F1 e 2 lançadores de torpedo de prótons Arakyd AA / SL.

Tantive IV (Rebel Blockade Runner)
O Tantive IV, identificado no material de origem como uma corveta CR90 Corellian, aparece pela primeira vez na cena de abertura do Star Wars original: Episódio IV - Uma Nova Esperança, comandado pela Princesa Leia ( Carrie Fisher ) enquanto ela foge da perseguição de Darth Vader ( David Prowse / James Earl Jones ) a bordo de seu Imperial Star Destroyer . Seu pai adotivo, Bail Organa ( Jimmy Smits ), é visto usando um recipiente semelhante durante o filme anterior, Revenge of the Sith, identificado no material de origem como o modelo CR70 Tantive III . As corvetas Corellian, também conhecidas como Furadores de Bloquei Rebeldes por seu poderoso motor e capacidade de ultrapassar os navios da alfândega, são fabricadas pela Corporação de Engenharia Coreliana.

Nave espacial aparecendo na trilogia prequela

Fragata do Clã Bancário (Fragata Estelar da classe Munificente)
Também conhecidas como fragatas separatistas, essas embarcações fizeram sua aparição teatral em Star Wars: Episódio III - A Vingança dos Sith e aparecem na mídia relacionada às Guerras Clônicas. O design dessas e de outras naves Separatistas foi feito especificamente para reverter a iconografia visual da trilogia Star Wars original, fazendo com que as naves "mocinhos" fossem triangulares e as naves "vilões" fossem mais suaves e orgânicas. Os projetos não utilizados de Joe Johnston de navios rebeldes de Retorno dos  Jedi foram usados como inspiração pelos artistas conceituais de A Vingança dos Sith na criação da fragata do Clã Bancário e outras embarcações.

De acordo com o material do universo, essas Fragatas Estelares da classe Munificent foram construídas pela Hoersch-Kessel Drive Inc. em nome do Clã Bancário InterGaláctico para a causa Separatista. Formando a maior parte da frota Separatista durante a guerra, essas fragatas preencheram o papel duplo de naves de combate e comunicação, usando antenas poderosas para coordenar as ações da frota utilizando hiper-ondas mais rápidas do que a luz para se comunicar em qualquer lugar dentro da galáxia ou bloquear sensores e comunicações inimigas.

Fontes oficiais dão o comprimento de , uma largura de  e altura de  . No entanto, eles requerem apenas uma pequena tripulação de 200 dróides de batalha para operar, com uma capacidade de armazenamento de até 150.000 dróides de batalha adicionais para ações de abordagem ou ataques terrestres. Em batalha, os armamentos dessas fragatas as tornam grosseiramente superadas para seu tamanho. Cada um está armado com dois para a frente pesados turbolaser canhões que a plena potência pode explodir-derreter um gelo-moon  de diâmetro; dois canhões de íons de longo alcance; 26 canhões turbolaser gêmeos; 20 torres turbolaser leves; e 38 canhões laser de defesa pontual.

Destroyer de Apoio da Guilda Comercial ( Recusant -class Light Destroyer)
Essas espaçonaves fizeram sua aparição teatral em A Vingança dos Sith, além de outras mídias relacionadas à Guerra dos Clones, como uma nave capital usada pelas forças Separatistas. Tal como acontece com outras espaçonaves Separatistas, o design desses destruidores foi baseado na arte conceitual não utilizada para as naves capitais Rebeldes de O Retorno dos Jedi.

Esses navios medem  comprimento,  largura e  altura. Porque eles são controlados principalmente através do cérebro de dróide, eles requerem uma tripulação de apenas 300 dróides de batalha para operar, com espaço de armazenamento para um adicional de 40.000 dróides de batalha. Seu armamento diversificado inclui um canhão turbolaser pesado de proa, 4 canhões turbolaser pesados, 6 torres turbolaser pesadas, 5 canhões turbolaser, 30 canhões de laser duplo, 12 canhões de laser duplo de luz e 60 canhões de laser de luz de defesa de ponto. No entanto, sua eficácia na batalha vem de um número esmagador, já que entre quatro a seis naves da classe Recusant são necessárias para vencer um Venator Star Destroyer . Sua única verdadeira fraqueza é a natureza obstinada de seu cérebro andróide, embora a falta de autopreservação signifique que eles não estão acima de deliberadamente abalroar seu alvo para destruí-lo.

Mão invisível (transportador / destruidor classe Providence)
O carro-chefe do General Grievous em A Vingança dos Sith é a Mão Invisível, aparecendo na batalha espacial de abertura do filme acima do planeta Coruscant . Com o Supremo Chanceler Palpatine ( Ian McDiarmid ) mantido prisioneiro a bordo do navio, os Cavaleiros Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Ewan McGregor ) e Anakin Skywalker ( Hayden Christensen ) lançam uma missão de resgate para salvá-lo, embarcando no navio onde eles confrontam e derrotam o Conde Dooku. ( Christopher Lee ). Com a Mão Invisível aleijada na batalha, o General Grievous foge a bordo de um pod de fuga enquanto os heróis o conduzem com sucesso para um pouso de emergência no planeta abaixo.

George Lucas teve uma participação pessoal no projeto do navio, incluindo a adição da torre elevada na qual Obi-Wan, Anakin e o Conde Dooku têm seu duelo. A torre levantada também ajudou a diferenciar a nave de comando das outras naves capitais sobre Coruscant. Embora a nave fosse completamente CGI, ao contrário das naves modeladas de forma semelhante para o filme, ela precisava de um interior complexo que fosse totalmente mapeado para as várias cenas que acontecem durante o filme. Depois que as plantas baixas foram aprovadas, elas foram construídas como CG e salas reais, com vários cenários de grande escala para os atores atuarem. Mais conjuntos de salas a bordo do navio foram construídos do que os vistos no filme final; várias "escapadas do tipo serial" foram cortadas do lançamento final. Outros conjuntos, construídos dentro de um suporte que poderia girá-los, foram usados para representar o colapso da embarcação.

A Mão Invisível é descrita de acordo com referências dentro do universo como um transportador / destruidor da classe Providence, uma classificação que representa os papéis de duelo do couraçado na dominação planetária. Fabricado pela Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps, a embarcação tem  comprimento,  largura e  altura. Dado seu tamanho, a Mão Invisível pode armazenar até 1,5 milhão de andróides de batalha, mas requer apenas uma tripulação de 600 para operar. A Mão Invisível pode causar danos tremendos com 14 canhões turbolaser , cada um dos quais com potência máxima é equivalente a um terremoto de magnitude 10 ; 2 canhões de íons pesados; 34 canhões de laser duplo; 12 canhões de íon de defesa de ponto e 102 lançadores de torpedo de prótons. Seus hangares foram amplamente modificados a partir de outras embarcações da classe Providence, permitindo que o encouraçado carregue 120 caças (uma mistura de dróides Vulture e Tri-fighters ), 160 MTTs e 280 outros veículos terrestres, incluindo AATs, dróides Hailfire e dróides aranha Homing . Os navios da classe Providence são equipados com uma torre de sensor superior principal e um pod de sensor ventral secundário, mas na Mão Invisível o pod de comunicação / sensor principal é reformado em um santuário elevado para o Conde Dooku, do qual ele transmite propaganda espiritual para se dividir a galáxia.

Neimoidian Shuttle (transporte de transporte da classe Sheathipede)
As naves Neimoidian aparecem pela primeira vez em A Ameaça Fantasma e são vistas ao longo da trilogia prequela e da série de televisão Clone Wars. Seu projeto é baseado em uma nave de desembarque da Federação do Comércio, virada verticalmente e alterada para ser mais insetoide e menos simétrica. Eles também são usados por outros líderes separatistas, como Nuvo Vindi e Wat Tambor. A tradição de Guerra nas Estrelas se refere a essas embarcações como lançadeiras de transporte da classe Sheathipede, construídas por espécies parecidas com insetos Charrian, especialmente populares entre os Neimoidianos, mas usadas por muitos mundos associados à causa Separatista. Destinado a missões diplomáticas de curto alcance, estes  ônibus de longa distância apresentam poderosos sistemas de comunicação e são desarmados, mas podem ser modificados para combate. Alguns também incorporam um piloto automático, permitindo um compartimento de passageiros mais amplo.

República Navio de assalto (Acclamator de classe navio de assalto)
República navios de assalto do Acclamator de classe aparecem pela primeira vez em O Ataque dos Clones . Esses navios, originalmente chamados de "transportes de tropas Jedi", demonstram uma conexão com os Destroyers Estelares da trilogia original através de seus cascos triangulares. De acordo com o material de referência de Star Wars, essas naves de assalto foram construídas pela Rothana Heavy Engineering para servir como transporte de tropas principal da República no início das Guerras Clônicas, com um papel ofensivo secundário em batalhas espaciais. Sua construção secreta foi iniciada por Darth Sidious ( Ian McDiarmid ) sob falsas ordens do Alto Conselho Jedi como parte de seu plano para assumir o controle da galáxia.

Os navios de assalto da República medem  comprimento,  largura e  em profundidade. Com uma tripulação de 700, eles podem transportar até 16.000 soldados clones e pessoal de apoio, junto com veículos pesados, incluindo helicópteros LAAT , AT-TE walkers e artilharia SPHA. Ao contrário de muitos outros navios de Star Wars de tamanho semelhante, eles podem realizar pousos no solo e na água, permitindo-lhes implantar tropas e veículos diretamente para a batalha. Seu armamento inclui 12 torres turbolaser quad, 24 canhões de laser e 4 lançadores de mísseis / torpedos estratégicos pesados. Esse armamento permite que eles conduzam uma série de bombardeios orbitais, desde ataques cirúrgicos em apoio às forças terrestres até bombardeios de frotas "Base Delta Zero" que derretem a crosta superior da superfície de um planeta.

Cruzador de Ataque da República (Destruidor Estelar classe Venator)
Os cruzadores de ataque da República, formalmente conhecidos como Star Destroyers da classe Venator, fizeram sua primeira aparição teatral na batalha espacial de A Vingança dos Sith e apareceram em toda a franquia Star Wars. Descritos no universo como grandes e poderosos navios de guerra da Marinha da República, os cruzadores de ataque são  comprimento com uma tripulação de 7.400 e poderosamente armado com oito torres turbolaser duplas pesadas, duas torres turbolaser duplas médias, cinquenta e dois canhões de laser de defesa de ponto, quatro lançadores de torpedo de prótons pesados e seis projetores de raio trator . A  -longo convés de vôo é construído diretamente na proa do navio com portas de proa, permitindo uma saída rápida para o complemento do navio de 420 caças estelares, quarenta navios LAAT e vinte e quatro AT-TEs . Após a vitória da República, esses cruzadores continuaram a servir sob o Império Galáctico .

Encouraçado da Federação do Comércio (encouraçado da classe Lucrehulk)
Os navios de guerra da classe Lucrehulk da Federação do Comércio aparecem na trilogia Prequel e em várias outras mídias de Guerra nas Estrelas. Lucas defendeu que esses navios tivessem uma aparência de "disco", com frente e traseira distintas, conseguida colocando os motores de um lado do navio e as antenas e baias de atracação do outro.

Em A Ameaça Fantasma, uma frota dessas naves impõe um bloqueio ao planeta Naboo, uma das quais (identificada no material de fundo como Vuutun Palaa ) serve como a Nave de Controle Droid no centro da batalha climática do filme. Para capturar a destruição da Nave de Controle Droid, um modelo em escala 1/800 foi criado e ampliado usando material pirotécnico especialmente projetado para simular uma explosão massiva crível e filmado a 340 quadros por segundo para obter quadros suficientes para o corte. Um segundo modelo em escala do hangar da nave foi criado e mapeado para a cena onde Anakin Skywalker ( Jake Lloyd ) acidentalmente voa com seu caça estelar dentro da nave.

No universo, essas embarcações eram originalmente cargueiros de carga LH-3210 da classe Lucrehulk fabricados pela Hoersch-Kessel Drive Inc. que a Federação do Comércio secretamente modificou em navios de guerra para aumentar suas forças armadas. Em  de diâmetro, cada navio de guerra enorme pode transportar um exército inteiro: 6.250 tanques de assalto blindados, 550 transportes multi-tropa, 1.500 porta-tropas, 50 C-9979 Landing Craft, 1.500 Droide Vulture  e mais de 329.000 B1 Droides de Batalha . A tripulação é igualmente grande, com 60 supervisores, 3.000 dróides e 200.000 dróides de manutenção. Para destruir os caças inimigos que tentam atacar seus transportes, cada navio de guerra convertido é equipado com 42 posições de laser quad em suportes rotativos para esconder a natureza militar dos navios. Ao mesmo tempo em que ajuda a ocultar o crescimento militar das Federações Comerciais, a cobertura limitada dessas armas deixa pontos cegos significativos vulneráveis a ataques. Um pequeno número desses navios de guerra foram modificados posteriormente como Naves de controle Droid e apresentavam comunicações adicionais e sistemas de computador para operar os exércitos droides da Federação do Comércio; destruir uma nave de controle Droid desabilitaria todos os dróides sob seu comando.

Durante as Guerras Clônicas, muitos cargueiros da classe Lucrehulk foram mais extensivamente adaptados para aumentar seu armamento sobre o que foi transportado durante a Batalha de Naboo . Esses navios de guerra separatistas tinham 185 baterias de laser quad, 520 canhões de laser de assalto e 51 turbolasers. No entanto, pontos cegos permaneceram na cobertura do armamento, o que deixou ângulos vulneráveis que os navios da República poderiam explorar.

Nave espacial aparecendo em outras mídias de Star Wars

Fantasma (cargueiro leve VCX-100)
O Ghost é um cargueiro leve VCX-100 modificado, fabricado pela Corellian Engineering Corporation, aparecendo na série de televisão Star Wars Rebels. Pertencente e pilotada pela talentosa Twi'lek, Hera Syndulla (dublada por Vanessa Marshall ), ela serve como "base" para um pequeno bando de rebeldes Lothal durante a Era do Império. Nomeada por sua capacidade de viajar pelos sensores imperiais sem ser detectada em inúmeras missões e escaramuças, a nave incluía muitas surpresas ocultas que ajudaram a tripulação em sua luta contra o Império. Entre seus muitos recursos estava uma torre de canhão a laser dorsal de 360 graus

O Fantasma faz uma aparição especial em Rogue One perto do Grande Templo de Massassi em Yavin IV. Sua capitã, Hera Syndulla, é brevemente mencionada no filme, e seu andróide reparador, Chopper, faz uma breve aparição dentro do Templo.

Han Solo finge possuir uma nave espacial do mesmo modelo em Solo: A Star Wars Story, durante o jogo Sabacc em que conheceu Lando Calrissian .

Corveta Hammerhead (corveta classe Sphyrna)
A corveta Hammerhead é uma classe de nave que apareceu originalmente no videogame Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic e teve um papel de destaque em Rogue One: A Star Wars Story durante a batalha espacial final, quando uma dessas naves abalroou um deficiente Imperial Star Destroyer em outro. Seu design CGI foi propositalmente feito para evocar o Tantive IV do filme Star Wars original. A origem no universo das corvetas Hammerhead, formalmente conhecidas como corvetas da classe Sphyrna, é que elas são uma linha ancestral de navios construídos pela Corellian Engineering Corporation. Confiáveis e adaptáveis, essas corvetas são  comprimento e armado com dois canhões laser duplo dianteiro e um traseiro, mas pode ser modificado com motores sublight adicionais e módulos adicionais. Eles são usados pela Aliança Rebelde em muitas funções diferentes: navios de reconhecimento, rebocadores, transportes e até navios de guerra.

Rhett Allain, um professor associado de física na Southeastern Louisiana University, estimou em um artigo de 2017 para a Wired que os motores do Hammerhead em Rogue One teriam que gerar  (ou 200 bilhões ) Newtons de força para empurrar o Star Destroyer: 6.000 vezes a quantidade de força de empuxo gerada por um foguete Saturno V.

Profundidade (cruzador Mon Calamari)
A Profundidade aparece pela primeira vez em Rogue One: Uma Historia Star Wars , liderando o ataque da frota rebelde a Scarif sob o comando do almirante Raddus . É identificado nas fontes de Star Wars como um cruzador estelar MC75 modificado, uma classe de edifícios Mon Calamari e navios de exploração que foram reaproveitados para a guerra. A Profundidade em si era a antiga torre de Governança Cívica da cidade de Nystullum durante o êxodo dos Mon Calamari de seu mundo natal. Em  comprimento, o Profundity tem uma tripulação de 3.225 e está fortemente armado com doze canhões turbolaser, quatro canhões de íons, vinte canhões de laser de defesa de ponto, doze lançadores de torpedo de prótons e seis projetores de raio trator .

Buying a used Wii U will allow you to get free games...through a massive oversight
Want to save some money by buying a previously owned Wii U? Well saving money on the machine isn't the only place you'll save! According to NeoGAF user DSN2K, any games that the previous owner bought and downloaded are available to be downloaded again free of charge, even after wiping the memory and user account before the user returns the console to the store; it would seem that downloadable games are tied to the system, rather than accounts.
Nintendo, get your online shit together! Japan is affectionately called the country of the future for a reason, full of super smart people that make some crazy technology, and you let this slip your mind? Between the accounts being tied to the system, the ridiculous 100 friends limit just because it seems that's what Microsoft did, save profiles not being tied to accounts, and now this, it's clear that Nintendo still does not get online gaming, and still has quite a ways to go.
This hardly seems to be a problem. If you're getting rid of the system, you don't want the games. The new owner benefits. Good for them.
VofEscaflowne
@Koovaps
Might not be a problem for the one buying it but I seriously doubt this is what Nintendo intended. This is new users getting free games. Nintendo doesn't even allow games to be redownloaded on the same account.
@Koovaps @VofEscaflowne Yeah but now that I think about it, it's not that much different than selling a used console and leaving the games on it. Which is what I'd do if I sold a used console anyway (I mean, unless there is a way to transfer the games to a new console I have... but that's not what we're talking about here, is it?)
Brick said:
Japan is affectionately called the country of the future for a reason, full of super smart people that make some crazy technology, and you let this slip your mind?
Pffft. Being from Silicon Valley, quotes like this always make me laugh! Japan is good at making WEIRD shit, but rarely crazy innovative or world-changing stuff that you could classify as the future! (Aside from Nintendo with gaming-related stuff. And the internet is a series of pipes to them!)
That aside, this sounds like the best oversight ever! Why would you want Nintendo to get their shit together about THIS?
Chocobo_Rider
It's almost as if the world of digital gaming isn't the utopia people said it would be... why... it's almost as if there are advantages to owning physical copies of software alongside separate physical hardware.
*looks at bed-side table*
Don't worry, 3DS Game Card Case 18, you and me are gonna have years of convenient portable gaming together
@NinSage Indeed. Nothing more terrifying than possibly having a few free games. WHAT A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!
@Xbob42
.............. well yea obviously it's good for the second person. I was thinking mostly about the guy who bought those games in the first place.
@NinSage Ahh, you're referring to Nintendo not knowing what the purpose of an "account" is. That has nothing to do with digital distribution, and everything to do with Nintendo's online branch of their company ran by mouth-breathing idiots. Why the fuck do you even MAKE a Nintendo account? You can't even take your Mii to other Wii U consoles! It's the most ass-backwards system ever conceived. The vacuum of talent it must have taken to make something so absurdly ludicrous is staggering to consider.
And these people get paid good money as "professionals!"
EDIT: And how dare you go about scapegoating "digital distribution" after you just lectured me about "not supporting shady business" when this is just about as shady as it gets! What the hell, dude!
@NinSage But... is the original owner really at a loss here? Like I said, if I were selling a Wii U and not transferring the games, I'd just leave them on there. Why delete them all?! That's throwing away good games that the new user might like.
Xbob, stop seeking conflict.
I expected Nintendo to make a few blunders with an Account based system but not like this. Fix this pronto Ninty or that eShop will be lonelier than a Dreamcast at Christmas.
@Pokefreak911 Ignorance and idiocy must be beaten away like a hungry hobo. It cannot be allowed to fester lest you wish to amputate your own brain.
Then head over to MS HQ. That place should feed you for a lifetime.
I'm not entirely certain that Nintendo couldn't correct this oversight with a firmware update. Kind of hilarious if they couldn't, though.
This has been the case for a while, actually. The same thing happens with the 3DS. Any and all games that were downloaded on a 3DS can be re-downloaded again for free. Even if the memory has been "wiped."
My buddy got an Ocarina of Time LE 3DS, and was able to transfer an Ambassador 3DS he got from the local Gamestop (pre-played) and was able to not only get all the Ambassador games, but also Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! and 3D Classics: Excitebike. All of which were previously downloaded by the original owner.
Wait, does that mean that if I did the transfer to the 3DS XL and gave away the 3DS to my girlfriend, she can download everything I had bought at that point!?
I wouldn't really call that a massive oversight. In fact, the silver lining is they might see that it's not the end of the world when people exploit loopholes like this and start letting people transfer games easily from one system to another with their account.
@Guillaume
I think so. After we did the transfer from the Ambassador 3DS to my buddy's Zelda 3DS, I went back to the eShop on the "pre-played" system, and saw that the Ambassador titles were still available for download.
Seemed as though once a 3DS is an Ambassador system, it is ALWAYS an Ambassador system. (!)
deathly_hallows
This is nothing new, this is how the Wii, the DSi, and the 3DS are. Nintendo consoles own games, not their users, it's the same ass-backwards set up they've always had. Wiping the consoles memory doesn't do anything to erase your download history, the only thing that can do that is a system transfer ala 3DS to 3DSXL, or Wii to Wii U.
@NinSage
Digital distribution works fine as long as the person who pays for the game owns it and not the machine it was downloaded to. Sony, MS, Valve, Apple, Google, practically everyone but Nintendo has a good account system in place that allows consumers reasonable control over the content they paid for.
That's not the way it works, I can't access the ambassador games (or any eShop stuff) on my old 3DS, only my 3DSXL. Once your perform a system-transfer (with the little Pikmins, love those guys) your licenses are now on the new system and deleted from the old.
EDIT: just to make doubly-triply sure I'm not talking out my butt I just fired up my old 3DS and the download history in the store says: 0 downloads
I've sold lots of consoles without wanting to sell all my games, like my old DSi. I transferred the games to my DSiXL and then sold the system blank. Selling a console doesn't always mean you're done with it, you might just be upgrading to a newer model.
PogueSquadron
@NinSage What would the person care if they're getting rid of their Wii U anyway? If they were just upgrading to another system, they'd do a system transfer.
Also, it doesn't look like I can download old games I purchased on my old 3DS. I went to check out DK94 and it just said I didn't have the funds to get it. I didn't see anywhere in the settings that I purchased anything else.
If you don't actually delete the shop account from the eShop itself, then the games are still there. The previous owner probably didn't do that, we'd need some proof that they did. Has there been anything else on this subject?


100th Post! Happy Handfasting Anniversary!
So, let's start with a recap.
In November, I lost my grandfather. It hit me very hard, as I was once very close to both of my grandparents before they moved to Texas and then I moved to Chicago. My grandparents were a huge influence of my idea of what true love is and can be. Just before Christmas 2009 my husband broke his wrist, setting in motion our decision to leave Chicago two years ahead of schedule, and allowing us to move up our schedule of trying to get pregnant.
March 27, 2010, our cousin marries two days before our 2nd anniversary. While at the wedding, cousin, cousin's sister-in-law, and I start talking about babies and the baby-bug bites me HARD. And of course, March 29th, was our anniversary. April 9, my husband and I quit smoking in preparation of trying to get pregnant. April 23, my darling husband, Joshwa, turned 26.
April 28, I finally started Spiral Charmed Life after a failed attempt on blogspot in late 07/early 08 – I still have the original up because I have explained quite a bit about my beliefs there and haven't yet figured out how I want to convert it here to this blog.
April 30, my baby brother turned 19. *sniffles* At the end of May, I finished my last pack of birth control and immediately started my period. June 16, we celebrated our 3rd handfasting anniversary. August 4th, I turned 25 and at the end of August we packed up and left Chicago.
After a bit of bouncing around, we ended up in Alabama with my sister. Not the best five months of our life or relationship – which is saying a lot as we've been through some…let's say interesting…situations in our time together. But we've only gotten closer to one another. Though, the effects on my relationship with my sister….well, I'll let you know as soon as I can bear talking to her again. Can I just say, if you ask someone to come stay with you, and you set rules, please stick them. Don't decide down the road that that person needs to pay off your mortgage along with being your personal chauffeur and cleaning service.
Moving on, in December my Joshwa got a job and in February, we finally got our own place. A beautiful, wonderful place that has been a blessing like none other. But, later that month, my grandmother passed away after a second fight with cancer – she beat breast cancer once years before. After 15 months, she went to join the love of her life.
Well, in March, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. In April, we celebrated a year of not smoking, Joshwa's 27th birthday, the first birthday of this blog, and my baby brother's 20th birthday (which had me in sniffles all day…again). In May, my nephew turned 11 and we passed the 1 year mark of us trying to conceive. It wasn't the best day of my life, but we're still positive and still trying. Keeping faith is hard, but every time I feel that faith waning, I come on here and gripe and feel better.
So, that brings us to today, June the 16th, our 4th handfasting anniversary. My darling Joshwa is snoozing on the couch since my sleep schedule has been all sorts of screwed up lately. And I'm watching Ghost Whisperer and getting all weepy because I didn't want to watch anymore Eureka without him.
And even though not that long ago I went over what we thought our two-year plan was going to be, we've changed our minds….again. ^__^ We can't take the heat. I'm trying to remember how I used to love this kind of weather. Because, make no mistake, I used to love the heat of summer and teased my darling hubby about being a wimp. Granted, he had several years of dealing with the heat before we met and I teased, and I haven't even had a full year to get used to the heat again – and the freakish power bill, please don't even get me started on that one!
But, we've decided we don't want to wait. Apparently, despite everything, my credit is pretty good and Joshwa's is getting better by the day. It's worth being somewhere that we're both comfortable. Besides, we're going to be smarter about it. If we don't have the money and Josh hasn't found a new position (transfer only, we are not going without a job this time!), we won't go. But I'm a frugal little squirrel, and with Joshwa's promotion kicking in on Saturday, I'll be even better at it.
That said, yeah, I added a donate button. I don't actually expect donations, but I figured, why not try? First we have to get the truck worked on some more – and that's going to be a few hundred dollars, I think. But then all our money is going into savings for our move. Once we have $2,000 saved for our move (after the however many hundred it takes to get the truck fixed), then I want to get a new computer (a friend of ours is gonna help us build one – but I don't know if Joshwa has told him yet, lol) and a new camera (because I've been coveting a digital SLR for years). Granted, if we do manage to get pregnant, the baby will bump my other wants down, but until then, if we're able to fix Joshwa's XBox ourselves, Joshwa told me it was fine with him. I like having a sugar daddy. Of course, if we can't fix his XBox, that may take precedent over a new computer – it definitely will over my new camera, because he's the sugar daddy. ^__^ So, if you want to donate, awesome! If you don't, it's okay, I still love you. Heck, if you want to donate and tell me what to put the money towards, you have my word I will. I'll even add it to my list next to what it's for!
Well, I think that's a good 100th post. Past, present, future. Shamelessly posted a donate button. Yep, that about covers it. Happy anniversary to my darling Joshwa again, and brightest blessings to all!


Skåne, in the south of Sweden, is a paradise for garden-lovers. You'll find everything from herbal gardens in medieval monasteries to romantic rose gardens and organic farms.
Whether you prefer a stroll in large city parks or a visit to countryside estates, you are in for a gardening treat. Here is a selection of our favourite gardens around Skåne.
In 1866, Crown Prince Oscar and his wife Sophia of Nassau spent their first summer in the newly built summer residence of Sofiero Castle in Helsingborg.
The dreamy location overlooking wooded gorges and the strait between Sweden and Denmark is why this park has been voted the most beautiful park in Europe.
A perfect time to visit is in May or June when the collection of over 10,000 rhododendrons is in bloom. There's plenty to see and you can spend hours exploring the Wine House where some of the vines stem from 1914, the tiny Melon House where in August you can admire the ripening fruits and the scented garden of queen Ingrid, a garden of fragranced geraniums cultivated using cuttings from the queen's collection.
Don't miss the aisle of flowers dedicated to crown princess Margareta, the stunning aisle of roses and the Victorian vegetable garden.
Hungry? Enjoy the view of Öresund from café Glasverandan, that servies lunch and dinner. If you are in the mood for fine dining, savour a gourmet meal inside the castle, where the restaurant is ranked one of Sweden's best culinary experiences.
Fredriksdal, in the city of Helsingborg, is one of the largest open-air museums in Sweden, Skåne in miniature.
Fredriksdal features everything from botanical gardens with flowers and plants from the region to historical vegetable and herb gardens. The crown jewel is the rose garden with its spectacular collection, the oldest ones cultivated 2,000 years ago.
Wander through historic buildings and preserved town quarters complete with cobblestones and old houses, surrounded by meadows and pastures with cows, sheep, goats and horses.
Krapperup Castle is on the western coast of Skåne, just north of Helsingborg, is one of Sweden's best preserved 19th century gardens in private ownership. The park is open to the public all year around and will make lovers of English romantic style swoon. Covering about 80 acres, it was developed during the 19th century. With its winding paths, carp ponds and small bridges reminiscent of Monet's paintings from Giverny, this park has a zen-like quality. Visit Krapperup during May to enjoy the lush greenery of blossoming rhododendron bushes, and the fantastic rose bushes in June.
Slottsträdgården, the castle garden, is next to Malmöhus castle in the centre of Malmö. It's an organic and gastronomic oasis with a large vegetable and flower garden, surrounded by canals. It has fruit trees, themed miniature gardens and a charming outdoor café.
Munch away on organic pastries from the café in the shade of the parasols, while enjoying the perennial flowerbeds and the rose scent.
Rainy day? No worries, just bring your coffee into the cosy orangery and sit under the grapevines hanging from the ceiling. Drop by for the Harvest Festivals, Onion Festivals and the yearly Malmö Garden Show.
The Gardens of Norrviken in Båstad consist of seven themed gardens set around Villa Abelin, the main building. Norrviken is also a place for concerts, theatrical performances, fairs and exhibitions. Enjoy the airy greenhouse atmosphere in the luxurious restaurant, Orangeriet and have lunch prepared from local produce. If you just want drinks, enjoy the atmosphere in the Salamander café.
In the centre of Lund, is a lush botanical garden that has been part of Lund University since the 15th century The large park is home to over 7,000 species. Walk through the colourful plantations and stop at the pond to watch the large goldfish, before visiting the orangery with its many different themes.
Look closely under the large plants and you will spot the small quail families that live here.
The park runs a diversified operation within botany, gardening and ecology for research at the university, and for schools and the public to enjoy and explore.
This is a popular place for locals to hang out on warm sunny days and the lawns are perfect for picnics. Before leaving enjoy a cup of coffee or an ice cream at the small café just outside the orangery and there is a small shop.
Bosjökloster is an ancient monastery located on a peninsula in lake Ringsjön.
Founded as a Benedictine convent in the 11th century it became a private home after the Reformation in 1536, and is still privately owned and run, but open to the public.
The beautiful white castle with its court yard, terraced flower gardens and park with animal enclosures is worth a visit any time of the year.
In April, the grounds are covered in a white carpet of wood anemones and in May the tulips and narcissus bloom on the terraces. The first of the roses appear in May and bloom well into August.
There are over a hundred different kinds of roses. In June, the large flowerbeds filled with fragrant peonies and lilies bloom, complemented by the scents from the herb garden.
The Café and Restaurant serve coffee or lunch with views over Lake Ringsjön and the ruins of the Penitentiary Chapel. There is a children's playground nearby. Don't forget to check out the thousand year-old oak tree and give the friendly alpacas, goats and ponies a cuddle. Opening hours on the homepage.
Alnarpsparken is in the coastal municipality of Lomma, not far from Malmö.
It is a landscaped park surrounding the Alnarp castle that houses the Swedish University of Agricultural Studies. Here you'll find plenty of inspiration for your own garden among the exotic plants on display. The lignose, woody plants, are specialities here, with over 2,500 different species.
Trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants from all over the world are in the park and used for research and education. The adjacent garden features a large selection of blooming perennials.
Mandelmanns is in Rörum, Österlen. Using non-toxic methods such as crop rotation and companion planting, the owners, Marie and Gustav Mandelmann, have turned the old farm into a garden experience.
It's like entering a small world of its own where everything has a purpose and is and used accordingly. The free-range hens are guarded by a small dog as they help cleaning up insects from the vegetable plantations. Then the pigs turn the soil and fertilize it. Sheep graze the hills and the farm is self-sufficient.
There are organic tomatoes, cucumber and gourd, and the main attraction is the flower beds in the interior garden, with the small ponds full of edible water cress and water lilies.
On weekends enjoy lunch prepared using produce from the grounds. Stock up on the veggies of the season at the small shop.
"This is like stepping through the gates of Eden", said one woman at the English Garden in Svabesholm. In the small village of Svinaberga just outside of Kivik in eastern Skåne, this small garden inspired by English romance give you plenty of gardening inspiration, from creative flower beds to Austin roses in the nursery.
The garden shop sells classic garden furniture, and there is a small café on site.
In the mood for a botanical shopping spree? This beautiful nursery has over 2,000 different kinds of herbaceous and vegetable plants for sale as well as more than 1,000 varieties of perennials and herbs. Pop into the cosy café and enjoy a home-made lunch and cakes.
There are lots of smaller garden venues all around Skåne, as well as gardening shops, garden centres and nurseries. You'll find more information about opening hours and entrance fees their websites.

In agile teams developers continuously have to coordinate fixing and planning activities, e.g., assign responsibility for flawed code or collaborate to trace back dependencies. In focusing on code practices, we describe how the organization translates into common visions of good software.
In our two-month ethnographic study we investigated how software developers in a firm coordinate their work practices through code. When bugs were reported, developers engaged in practices of remembering previous actions and scheduling next steps accordingly. They had to go back to the past when the original code was written (2 years to 2 months ago) and simultaneously sustain the shared vision of the future software. In order to combine both, past and future, developers adopted the code and dedicated care for it. Code care included situated practices of documentation (with future developments in mind), contributing to the enterprise Wiki system, and taking pride in the code as an expert software developer and making it look "nicer" - more efficient, shorter, elegant, and more aesthetic. They did not do this for functional reasons but to enact their shared vision of a good software product. Taking care of one's code served as a translation of organizational needs into valued developer's practices. The code tied the firm's plans to situated actions of developers. We are interested in the way invisible work practices like code care relate organizational work to visions of a "good" software product. This paper discusses how functional software requirements and social accountability, responsibility and norms are co-configured through code care activities. How does a shared vision of good software emerge, and how does it connect the firm with developer practices through caring activities? This lense on code care allows us to situate the organization in development practice.

While Google Translate can be a lifesaver for any foreign traveler or lazy student, the tool still remains far from perfect. But with Google's new system of "neural machine translation," the service could start parsing entire sentences at a time, nailing the nuance in languages that word-by-word translation often misses.
Prior to the addition of deep learning, Google Translate worked based on individual phrases, which often resulted in inaccuracies based on grammatical construction and context.
Google first announced it would be applying neural machine learning to translation in September. At the time researchers said that Google's Neural Machine Translation system (GNMT) could teach itself how languages translate — to a point where even researchers were unclear on how the machine operated.
A graph from September indicating the neural networks improved translation ability.
The initial tests only worked with English, Spanish, French, and Chinese. Now the application can also translate to and from German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. According to Google, these eight languages make up over 35 percent of translation requests, though the company hopes to expand to all 103 languages in the system in the next few months.
The new system only works with eight languages but will eventually be rolled out to all 103 languages in the system.
The company also announced it would be opening up its Neural Machine Translation API to developers and businesses through the Google Cloud.
"Todays step towards Neural Machine Translation is a significant milestone for Google Translate, but theres always more work to do and well continue to learn over time," says Turovsky.
Translate is just one of many Google products that has benefited from the company's venture into neural networks, with other applications including geolocation detection and a futuristic image compression system.

Break It Down: Understanding the Formation of Chemical Byproducts during Water Treatment
Synthetic chemicals are ever-present in modern life—in our medications, cosmetics and clothing—but what happens to them when they enter our municipal water supplies?
By Michigan Technological University | June 29, 2018
During flash flooding, water treatment systems can become overwhelmed, allowing untreated effluent and household chemicals to flow into local waterwaysCREDIT: Sarah Bird/Michigan Tech
Because these chemicals are out-of-sight, out-of-mind, we assume they cannot harm us after we flush them down the sink. However, most water treatment infrastructures were not designed to remove synthetic organic chemicals like those found in opioids, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals.
Consequently, trace concentrations of those chemicals are present in effluent: the water discharged from treatment plants into lakes, rivers, and streams. Although found in extremely small concentrations, just nanograms or micrograms, the toxicity is not well understood in human bodies and ecosystems.
Worse, we know even less about the effects on human and ecosystem health of byproducts created during advanced oxidation water treatment processes; thousands of chemical byproducts can be created in just minutes.
Therefore, it's crucial that scientists and treatment plant managers understand the mechanisms by which chemical byproducts are created during the treatment process. Daisuke Minakata, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Michigan Technological University, with co-authors Divya Kamath and Stephen Mezyk, sought to understand those mechanisms using acetone as a test case.
The authors built upon a 1999 experimental study of acetone reaction pathways during treatment, using quantum mechanical calculations to predict the chemical byproducts that occur as acetone degrades during the advanced oxidation process.
Their results are published in the article, "Elucidating the Elementary Reaction Pathways and Kinetics of Hydroxyl Radical-Induced Acetone Degradation in Aqueous Phase Advanced Oxidation Process" (DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b00582), in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, published by the American Chemical Society.
Modeling Degradation
By chemical standards, acetone has a straightforward structure. This makes it ideal for modeling reaction pathways—the myriad ways a chemical can degrade into free radicals and byproducts—to predict which byproducts and radicals form.
"When we do water treatment using advanced chemical oxidation, those oxidants destroy target organic compounds but create byproducts," Minakata says. "Some byproducts may be more toxic than their parent compound. We need to understand the fundamental mechanisms of how the byproducts are produced and then we can predict what to be produced from many other chemicals. We found more than 200 reactions involved in acetone degradations based on computational work."
Minakata's team compared the model's predictive results to the 10 byproducts observed in the 1999 experimental study, and the model's results track accurately with the observed reaction pathways.
Advanced oxidation is a very effective and an important way to treat water and effluent, so its use should not be discontinued. Many communities in arid regions are running out of water and must reuse treated wastewater—a process called direct potable reuse. If synthetic organic chemicals and their oxidized byproducts are not removed from the water, people and animals consume them.
In the Great Lakes region, upstream communities discharge treated wastewater into lake and rivers. People living downstream use that water; and existing, conventional treatment processes do not remove all organic chemicals effectively. Advanced oxidation can effectively target specific organic chemicals to remove them from water. Modeling reaction pathways is critical to help water treatment managers understand how best to wield the knife, as it were.
A limitation of the work is that the model applies solely to structurally simple organic contaminant like acetone, rather than broadly multiple chemical degradation processes. Organic chemicals have extraordinarily complex structures, and we lack the computational capacity to calculate the reaction pathways. Minakata's team used the Superior supercomputer at Michigan Tech. Superior puzzled away on the acetone pathways with hundreds of calculations--some of which can take more than weeks.
Chemical Reactions All Around
Understanding the mechanisms of chemical byproduct formation isn't just important for water treatment; it's also advancing what we know about chemical reactions in the atmosphere and inside our bodies.
"Inside a water droplet in a cloud, the same radical reaction is going on," Minakata says. "In our bodies, reactive oxygen species damage human cells. If you drink a lot of alcohol, or if you have too much sunshine, you create free radicals. Those free radicals damage your cells and can create cancer cells. Free radical-involved chemistry is common in different disciplines. We use the chemistry of free radicals for destroying toxic chemicals "
