Oil prices have fallen significantly over the past six months. Since the August Statement, the Brent crude oil price has fallen by more than 50 per cent to be a bit above US$50 per barrel (Graph C1). The price decline largely reflects the strength of supply, most notably an increase in the production of 'unconventional' oil from the United States and Canada and resilient supply from OPEC. More recently, some softening in the outlook for growth of global demand for oil is also likely to have contributed. The decline in price has been a little less in Australian dollar terms given that the Australian dollar has depreciated against the US dollar over the period. Prices of other energy commodities have also declined significantly. In the case of thermal coal, the decline in prices preceded that of oil and has mainly been the result of rapidly rising coal production over recent years; for other energy commodities, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), prices have been moving in response to the oil price.
A fall in the oil price as a result of an increase in oil supply is expected to increase global growth overall, as would be expected for any positive supply shock. Recent estimates from the International Monetary Fund suggest that the increase in global growth from the recent fall is likely to be substantial. However, the effects of a decline in the price of oil vary across economies, largely as a result of differences in the patterns of trade in oil-related products and in the oil intensity of production. For net importers of oil, which account for a significantly larger share of global GDP than net exporters, a falling oil price is expected to lead to an increase in the terms of trade, an increase in the purchasing power of households and lower input costs for businesses. For net exporters of oil, the terms of trade are likely to decline, although this will be offset to a greater or lesser degree by the effects on household purchasing power and lower input costs for businesses. More generally, to the extent that the prices of other energy commodities move with oil prices, these effects will depend on whether economies are net importers or exporters of energy.
The majority of Australia's major trading partners are likely to benefit substantially from lower oil prices because they are net oil (and net energy) importers (Table C1). Lower input costs are likely to boost output and lower manufactured export prices in many of our trading partners, including China, which uses energy relatively intensively in production.
The decline in oil prices is expected to have a positive effect on overall growth of the Australian economy. As a net importer of oil, a falling oil price would be expected to lead to an increase in Australia's terms of trade and in the purchasing power of national income (Table C2). This is expected to be offset to some extent by falling prices for LNG, which are linked to the oil price, albeit with a lag. This offsetting effect is small in the near term but is expected to grow as Australian LNG exports increase in importance. The prices for some other energy exports, such as thermal coal, do not appear to be moving as closely with oil prices as they have in previous episodes, suggesting that this potential linkage is not likely to lead to a further decline in Australia's terms of trade.
Although the oil intensity of production has been declining in Australia for many decades (and in most other advanced economies), oil is still an important input into the production of many goods and services, particularly in industries such as mining, transportation and some parts of manufacturing; lower oil prices will lead to lower costs of production in these industries. Oil is also an important part of the household sector's consumption basket. Petrol prices have fallen by around 30 per cent since July 2014, which suggests that most of the price decline has been passed through to final prices (given that oil accounts for around 50 per cent of the final price of fuel). Assuming no change in the quantity of fuel consumed, the fall in the price of petrol and other automotive fuel is estimated to have increased real household disposable income by ¼ per cent over the six months to the December quarter, and is expected to increase real income by a further ½ per cent in the March quarter. These effects will be partly offset by the loss of income to Australian residents from the lower prices received for production of energy products.
Other effects on income and output are likely to be small at this stage. The fall in the oil price is expected to reduce oil and gas exploration activity, although this accounts for less than 2 per cent of total investment activity. Recent company announcements have also identified the potential for sizeable cuts to capital expenditure by oil and gas producers, although the spending on large-scale LNG projects already underway is likely to continue largely as planned. Any effects on the consolidated fiscal balance are also likely to be relatively minor because the fuel excise is based on the quantity of petrol sold rather than its value, and revenue from oil and LNG production is currently a small share of total revenue. Moreover, this is likely to be offset to some extent by revenue from higher profits made by businesses that use oil as an input into production. The effects on the consolidated fiscal balance, however, are expected to be larger in the future as LNG production ramps up.
The main effect on inflation of the decline in the oil price will occur through reductions in the price of automotive fuel. Automotive fuel's weight in the CPI basket is around 3½ per cent, so the decline in its price has reduced headline CPI inflation by around ¼ percentage point over the six months to the December quarter, and is likely to subtract another ½ percentage point from inflation in the March quarter based on current oil prices.
In addition, changes in oil prices may have an indirect effect on a broader range of consumer prices through their effects on the cost of production. The size and timing of these indirect effects are difficult to determine. Input-output tables suggest that oil accounts for between 2 and 3 per cent of the prices of non-fuel items in the CPI, which implies that the indirect effect on the level of the CPI of the recent oil price movements could be as large as 1 per cent if it was fully passed through to all of these prices. In practice, however, movements in oil prices are partly absorbed into margins and any pass-through tends to occur over a very long period. Working in the other direction, the boost to real incomes will tend to increase aggregate demand and place upward pressure on prices. Partly because of these issues, econometric estimates of the effect of oil on measures of underlying inflation have been found to be quite imprecise.

What is elevation from sea level?
How do you shoot elevations at a level?
What is difference between height and elevation?
Elevation is defined as the height above the ground or other surface, or a place or position of height.
An example of elevation is a plane flying at 36,000 feet above the ground..
A road sign indicating a 6% grade, or 6% slope. A six percent slope means that the road elevation changes 6 feet for every 100 feet of horizontal distance (Figure 1.3). … A road climbs at a gradient of 6 percent. The road gains 6 feet in elevation for every 100 feet of horizontal distance.
HEIGHT is the vertical distance of a point to a horizontal surface. ELEVATION is the height of a point above (or below) sea level. SEA LEVEL or, as it is more usually called, mean sea level, is the average height of the surface of the sea.
Converting Percent Grade to Degrees The rise over the run is the tangent of angle θ. … For example, a 10 percent grade is 10/100, and a 25 percent grade is 25/100. Convert the fraction to a decimal fraction. In the examples above, 10/100 = 0.1 and 25/100 = 0.25.
5 ft vertical rise for 100 ft. is a 5% grade. Often used in cycling for mountains & hills. Keep in mind that grade is generally an average over the entire run. There are probably portions which are steeper and some more shallow.
PercentLetter Grade77 – 79C+73 – 76C70 – 72C-67 – 69D+8 more rows
Sea level is the base for measuring elevation. Sea level elevation is defined as 0 ft. All other elevations are measured from sea level. Those places on Earth that are above sea level have positive elevations, and those places on Earth that are below sea level have negative elevations.
To calculate the elevation of a mountain, scientists would measure the distance between two points on the ground and then measure the angles between the top of the mountain and each point. "If you have two angles, you know the third, because the sum of the angles is 180 [degrees]," Molnar told Live Science.
Elevation is distance above sea level. Elevations are usually measured in meters or feet. They can be shown on maps by contour lines, which connect points with the same elevation; by bands of color; or by numbers giving the exact elevations of particular points on the Earths surface.
Also referred to as "radar height" or feet/metres above ground level (AGL). True altitude is the actual elevation above mean sea level. It is indicated altitude corrected for non-standard temperature and pressure. Height is the vertical distance above a reference point, commonly the terrain elevation.
For example, given a benchmark at 100.00 and a grade elevation at 101.43, the difference is -1.43, which indicates that the elevation is 1 foot and some odd inches above the benchmark. Multiply the decimal part of the difference times 12 to find the number of inches. For example, 0.43 x 12 = 5.16.
Height above mean sea level (AMSL) is the elevation (on the ground) or altitude (in the air) of an object, relative to the average sea level datum.
As important as it is, shooting grade is simple.Set up the tripod of the laser level or transit; spread the three legs, each an equal distance from the other two. … Position you partner within the building site or in the pipe trench. … Set the grade rod at different locations on the site.
When the height of a point is its vertical distance above or below the surface of a reference plane* you have selected, it is called the elevation* of that point. When the height of a point is its vertical distance above or below mean sea level (as the reference plane), it is called the altitude* of the point.

Marcus Allen gets excited when people ask him if he's related to the former Oakland Raider running back of the same name.
With the same jersey number and same penchant for making big plays, it's not a stretch for football fans to wonder.
The Modesto Junior College freshman receiver leads the Pirates with 459 yards on 31 receptions heading into tonight's Golden Gate Conference game at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg.
Being the top receiver was not something Allen set out to do when camp started this summer. He only wanted to do his best and see where that led.
"Marcus is a playmaker," starting quarterback Chad Draper said. "We know if the ball's in his hands, he's going to do something with it. We need to put him in situations where we get him the ball."
Allen said his favorite play of the season wasn't one of his four touchdowns, but one that was called back due to penalty.
Last week against Hartnell, Allen grabbed a short pass from backup quarterback Joey Estrada and tore up the visiting sideline for what would have been a 62-yard score.
The sprint allowed him to tap into his background as a running back. An Orestimba High graduate, Allen realized during his freshman year that he wasn't going to get time at running back. So he switched to receiver and loved it right away.
"He probably has the most natural hands of any receiver in this group," coach Sam Young said. "Marcus has the ability to make guys miss and make things happen after he's caught the ball."
Anything Allen can contribute against Los Medanos (3-3, 1-0 GGC) will be welcome. Draper, who sustained a slightly separated shoulder last week, said he hopes to play. He took snaps on Thursday and Friday.
Young said the starting quarterback will be a game-time decision. Estrada has played in three games. He threw two touchdown passes last week and went 9-for-20 for 141 yards in three quarters.
Young compared the conference-opening 52-21 victory over Hartnell to putting on a different pair of glasses. The Pirates (2-4, 1-0 GGC) struggled before the bye, but felt renewed after everyone got to play last week in a dominating performance.
"We had our nose to the grindstone for two weeks and that bore fruit," Young said. "That gave most of the players confidence that's how things are going to go in league."

Tange By Tange: An Exhibition of Architecture Through The Eyes Of The Architect
January 27, 2015 / Johnny / Comments Off on Tange By Tange: An Exhibition of Architecture Through The Eyes Of The Architect
Kenzo Tange in front of the nearly completed Kagawa Prefectural Government Office. Taken around 1958 by an unknown photographer.
If there was any singular architect who helped shape post-war Japan it was arguably Kenzo Tange. The Japanese architect converted Hiroshima's barren ground zero into a tranquil peace park (1954), housed 13,00 bureaucrats in the massive New Tokyo City Hall (1991), created the iconic Fuji Television Building (1997), and much more. Now, a new exhibition at Gallery MA in Tokyo looks at the architecture through the eyes of the architect.
a contact sheet of photographs taken by Kenzo Tange of his own work. Pictured here are photos of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
"Just like the stone inspired those of the middle ages, concrete will likely bring contemporary inspiration to the people"
The Hiroshima Peace Center (1952) photographed by Kenzo Tange. A striking photo that shows his structure rising up in the middle of the graveyard.
Kenzo Tange, the first Japanese architect to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, is responsible for over 330 works of architecture in 31 countries. In Kenzo Tange: 20th Century Masters, Paolo Riani wrote that in Tokyo "there were not even the mountains of rubble of German towns; the wooden structures had gone up in flames and smoke."
So it's understandable why Tange turned to concrete, which, in turn, became the impetus in advancing his Metabolist school of urban design. He once professed his love for concrete by saying, "Just like the stone inspired those of the middle ages, concrete will likely bring contemporary inspiration to the people."

Tange by Tange 1949 – 1959 is indeed a retrospective of the architect. But it's organized primarily through the eyes of the architect himself. That is, through photographs of his own work taken by Tange himself.
The exhibition presents a picture of Tange's early years through contact sheets of 35-millimeter film images that capture not only his own work but also works of traditional architecture. "They form an elaborate record of his activities… and reveal how the young Tange had been engaging with architecture."
Tange by Tange 1949 – 1959 is on display at Gallery MA in Tokyo through March 28, 2015.

So long as the Jedi prioritise smartly, they're winning this. Probably with casualties, but I don't think Yoda, Mace or Anakin have much to worry about.
Yoda handles Valkorion while Anakin+any other Jedi walks around slaughtering the Dark Council.
Yoda, Mace and Anakin are enough to take the entire team comfortably. Adding the rest just makes this a stomp. The trio are able to hold their own against Valkorian (and defeat him in Yoda's case) while the others handle the fodder.
The only way the Jedi might lose is if Yoda and Anakin have immediate heart attacks.
Valpoorion succeeds with a solar system busting telekinetic wave. Not even shitposting.
Valpoorion succeeds with a solar system busting telekinetic wave.
Take Darth Bane's telekinetic power and juxtapose it with his death wave power. Bane can only kill a few non-Force sensitives with his death wave before he is utterly exhausted, compared to his telekinesis which can bring down massive structures without breaking as much of a sweat, or can be used to kill powerful Force sensitives. Much like how people's TK tends to be more environmentally destructive than their lightning, the same is true of death wave.
On Ziost, when Vitiate was a weakened spirit, to regain his strength he went around draining non-Force users. He maybe had drained a few thousand at best before he regained enough strength to perform the Ziost death wave. The intent of the Ziost death wave was to kill all life on the planet so that Vitiate could, like before, absorb their energy.
If a few thousand schlubs is all the energy that is needed for Vitiate to produce a death wave which 1. shook a base in space, 2. knocked the electromagnetic field of the planet out of tilt, 3. created fissures through the earths core 4. destroyed nearly every structure on the surface of the planet, 5. forced every Force user present from the Republic/Empire to leave or risk death and 6. carry out a display of the dark side more extreme than anything we had seen prior, which includes Nathema, the Ambria sorceress, Naga Sadow and Aleema Keto's solarflare/novas, Nihilus and also Bane's thought bomb (which is a toned down version of Nathema)..... then imagine what kind of death wave Vitiate can produce after eating all life on a planet.
Not only would his power have massively, exponentially increased after eating the planet (which should let him replicate Ziost billions of times over easily), but by the mere fact that death wave produces massively, exponentially less environmental damage than telekinesis, it means that Vitiate's telekinesis is many, many times more powerful than even a death wave that is a million times more powerful than the one we saw on Ziost.
It is clearly stated that he was utterly drained due to that force wave that broke the base walls of the temple. That and it was pre charged.
He was also vastly before his prime and has other feats/lines of scaling. I was illustrating the point that relatively speaking telekinesis does more environmental damage than a death wave. A more simple example is him disintegrating technobeasts with TK.
That may be ok, but you can cook up an argument for Kit Fisto being multi solar system busting level so in any case, Vitiate loses here.
@lordofthelight: What did Fisto do to make you think he can destroy multiple solar systems?
Lmao at me actually thinking that.
On Ziost, when Vitiate was a weakened spirit, to regain his strength he went around draining non-Force users. He maybe had drained a few thousand at best before he regained enough strength to perform the Ziost death wave. TorrentTurboTaxGogoanime The intent of the Ziost death wave was to kill all life on the planet so that Vitiate could, like before, absorb their energy.
It is plainly expressed that he was totally depleted because of that power wave that broke the base dividers of the sanctuary. That and it was pre charged.
if Valkorion would be really that powerful as he described only then it will be close match but even then jedi will be winner.
We know Kit is meant to be solidly above Agen in ROTS. That much is clearly depicted in their fight and there is no need to even debate on it.
We know Agen clearly stomped Quinlan Vos in their duel, while holding back and in the most casual way possible.
Now this is Vos well into the clone wars where he would obviously be much superior to Vos at that start of the war. Now Vos much before AoTC( around 7 years) dueled and beat Volfe Karkko when his mind was uncluttered and unconflicted( made possible by two other Jedi joining his mind and taking out his inhibitions). A conflicted Vos was losing soundly to Karkko but was still managing to loosely contend or at least, not get stomped.
Obviously the gap between the Vos that dueled Agen and the Vos that beat Karkko would be massive. At least going by the huge time difference there.
Now let us come to Karkko. It is well known that he was almost equal to the entire Jedi Council of 1000 BBY( in the time of Bane) and engaged them in a massive battle where many Council Members were destroyed by him.
Obviously the Jedi Council is meant to represent the best Jedi in the order, most powerful and most skilled. Barring some massive exceptions, generally, they are going to be more powerful than almost anybody else in the entire Order there.
So we have Worror Dowmat being powerful enough to completely deflect Bane's lightning while mortally wounded( meaning he'd do much better if he were okay) and this guy has a reputation for being a person whose primary focus and reputation and area of expertise lies in battle meditation, not raw displays of the force. In a sense, by his feat, we can easily conclude that Dowmat is at least as powerful as Bane( though why he didn't overpower Bane when he fought lies in mystery, maybe due to Jedi morals or maybe his battle meditation would be more useful since he would be completely useless with a lightsaber).
In any case, the Jedi Council of 1000 BBY is solidly above Bane, which was made rather clear in ROT.
Now, as per Az's scaling, Bane is above the supernova explosion of Naga Sadow when vastly pre prime and thus, given that Kit scales massively above Bane, he is capable of busting several solar systems casually.
@lordofthelight: The most impressive part of what you just said is the fact it made brain cells drip out of my ear.
@lordofthelight: So Bane requires all of his energy to knock down a building but is simultaneously supernova level?
Raw power doesn't translate to telekinesis in all cases lol. Bane's raw power is supernova level but his tk is only building level.
Much like Valkorion's raw power puts him trillions of times more powerful than a planet destroying death wave but he then almost gets crapped on by the spirit of a fodder Sith Lord when it comes to actual tk offense and defense.
@i_like_swords: @lordofthelight: Neither of you have understood Fisto's real power. What LotL showed was but a mere appetizer.
Let's start with Count Dooku. In the RotS novel he makes himself the axis of the universe. In essence, he is rotating all of existence, including the trillions of galaxies, around himself telekinetically. This feat would obviously require ineffably more kinetic energy than Valpoorion snuffing out mere solar systems.
He called upon the Force, gathering it to himself and wrapping himself within it. He breathed it in and held it whirling inside his heart, clenching down upon it until he could feel the spin of the galaxy around him.
Until he became the axis of the universe. This was the real power of the dark side, the power he had suspected even as a boy, had sought through his long life until Darth Sidious had shown him that it had been his all along. The dark side didn't bring him to the center of the universe. It made him the center.
He drew power into his innermost being until the Force itself existed only to serve his will.
Going by ILS' theory that mastery in death field correlates with power in telekinesis, Dooku would be able to perform a death field on a universal scale. And since merely by drawing the life from a single city enabled Valpoorion to do a planetary death field, you can imagine how much power Dooku drawing life from the entire universe would grant him. Doing the math - dividing the surface area of the earth (510 000 000 square km) by the surface area of the largest city on earth (8 683 square km) - it would appear this feat would enable Dooku to cast a death field around 58 747 times larger than the one could cast prior. And since death field correlates with telekinesis, Dooku would also be able to sweep away over 58 thousand universes in a similar vein to how Bane leveled his temple. And when he channels all that power into hurling a table, that flying table would similarly have the power to cause multiversal havoc, yet Anakin Skywalker smashes it aside with a punch.
When with all the power that the dark side can draw from throughout the universe, Dooku hurls a jagged fragment of the durasteel table, Shmi Skywalker's gentle murmur I knew you would come for me, Anakin smashes it aside.
Moving onto Obi-Wan Kenobi now, in the same book, he contends evenly with an even more powerful Anakin, matching his multiverse-busting saber swings blow-for-blow, and countering his telekinetic blasts. Many auxiliary sources likewise iterate the two were evenly matched.
Yet in the same novel, Obi-Wan concludes defeating three MagnaGuards are far beyond his ability, and he has to resort to cheap shots to beat them.
Three MagnaGuards, each with a double-ended weapon that generated an energy field impervious to lightsabers, each with reflexes that operated near lightspeed, each with hypersophisticated heuristic combat algorithms that enabled it to learn from experience and adapt its tactics instantly to any situation, were certainly beyond Obi-Wan's ability to defeat, but it was not Obi-Wan who would defeat them; Obi-Wan wasn't even fighting. He was only a vessel, emptied of self. The Force, shaped by his skill and guided by his clarity of mind, fought through him.
In the Force, he felt their destruction: it was somewhere above and behind him, and only seconds away.
He went to meet it with a backflipping leap that the Force used to lift him neatly to an empty droid socket in the ceiling hive. The MagnaGuards sprang after him but he was gone by the time they arrived, leaping higher into the maze of girders and cables and room-sized cargo containers that was the control center's superstructure.
Here, said the Force within him, and Obi-Wan stopped, balancing on a girder, frowning back at the oncoming killer droids that leapt from beam to beam below him like malevolent durasteel primates. Though he could feel its close approach, he had no idea from where their destruction might come . . . until the Force showed him a support beam within reach of his blade and whispered, Now.
His blade flicked out and the durasteel beam parted, fresh-cut edges glowing white hot, and a great hulk of ship-sized cargo container that the beam had been supporting tore free of its other supports with shrieks of anguished metal and crashed down upon all three MagnaGuards with the finality of a meteor strike.
Oh, thought Obi-Wan with detached approval. That worked out rather well.
And finally we are at Kit Fisto. Unlike Obi-Wan, Fisto rather handily bests a pair MagnaGuards on his own in Labyrinth of Evil, proving his superior Force augmentation to Kenobi. While Kenobi faced three and Fisto two, the latter was moving so fast the MagnaGuards weren't even able to hit Fisto, and he effortlessly removed their limbs. Essentially, it was a speedblitz. Since Force augmentation stems from overall Force reserves, we can likely say that Fisto's superiority to Kenobi in speed translates to telekinesis, meaning his could wipe out far more universes than merely 58 thousand.
To the rear of the car, where Grievous's pair of MagnaGuards had made the mistake of pitting themselves against Kit Fisto, the Nautolan's blade was a cyclone of blazing blue light. Resistant to the energy outpourings of a lightsaber, the phrik alloy staffs were potent weapons, but like any weapon they needed to find their target, and Kit simply wasn't allowing that.
In moves a Twi'lek dancer might envy, he spun around the guards, claiming a limb from both with each rotation: left legs, right arms, right legs... The speed of the train saw to the rest, ultimately whisking the droids into the canyon like insects blown from the windscreen of a speeder bike.
So lowballing Kit Fisto, he could obliterate 58 747 universes, but in reality the number is probably much higher than that. Regardless, Valpoorion is outgunned in this fight.
@azronger: are you serious when claiming that Dooku was able to moove the whole universe ?
@lordofthelight: Was that just a shitpost, or should I actually respond to that as if you're serious?
But, just to point out regardless, the Jedi Council that Karkko fought was definitely notBane-era.
??? What? How's me asking if you're trolling and clarifying Karkko "nice try?"
The pretense that that was actually a genuine question. Like, obviously I believe that Kit can obliterate multiple solar systems at once.
Why was the Jedi Council not Bane era though? It was stated to be 1000 years ago.
@lordofthelight: You haven't exactly established a reputation of being a logical thinker, lmao. Given your other arguments, the Fisto one isn't that outlandish.
Regardless, it's said he lived *over* a thousand years ago, and that he was regarded as one of the first Sith Lords ever. Obviously a Sith active during the tail-end of the Sith wouldn't classify under such. He likely lived pre-Kun.
He may have "lived" over a thousand years ago, but he fought the Jedi Council and was imprisoned only for a millenium.
I'm afraid I haven't kept a file of everything you've said, although I can start one moving forward.
I doubt millennia's meant to be taken exactly. Regardless, the text just states "members of the Council" went to fight Karkko, not necessarily the whole Council, with the panel itself only showing four Jedi. There's no indication how many went, nor the difficulty the Council overall had against Karrko. It's easily possible that Karkko killed one and then was quickly overwhelmed by the rest, for instance.
It says that it was exactly a millenium. That was when the duel occurred. It is also stated that the duel occurred centuries before the Clone Wars which supplements that quote. Highly doubt that the duel took place before Bane's time.
That's a pretty neat excuse but actually, it is also stated that "the council prevailed", which obviously would refer to the whole Council. That aside, there are other quotes that state that "the Council was forced to trap Karkko in stasis on Kiffex". Suggesting now that it still may not refer to the entire Council collectively would be rather pointless here.
Yeah, and I suppose "Ah, Great the battle was and strong was Karkko, but in the end the Council prevailed", possibly means that the Council was able to easily beat Karkko, instead of the obvious meaning that it was meant to be a massive battle, very hard fought where the Council only prevailed after a grueling duel and after taking casualties too.
That's a pretty neat excuse but actually, it is also stated that "the council prevailed", which obviously would refer to the whole Council.
Why would it "obviously refer to the whole Council?" If members of the Council went, then yes, "the Council prevailed." That doesn't mean every single member of the Council went. Many sources, for instance, refer to Sidious vs Mace and B-Team as "Sidious vs the Jedi Council," even though there were only four Jedi Council members present.
That aside, there are other quotes that state that "the Council was forced to trap Karkko in stasis on Kiffex". Suggesting now that it still may not refer to the entire Council collectively would be rather pointless here.
"A great battle" isn't synonymous with "a grueling duel," lmao. The fact Karkko fought members of the Council and killed one easily constitutes as "a great battle." Nothing here even indicates Karkko was stronger than everyone present individually, as SF Bastila Shan easily discarded Bindo and Juhani before being stomped by Revan.


The Killers have performed their recent single 'Land Of The Free' live for the first time – check out the video below.
The Killers NME Big Read: What comes next?
Brandon Flowers and the band, who are gearing up for a return to Glastonbury this June, performed a special show on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (April 1). Taking to the stage at the Zappos Theater in their home city of Las Vegas, the indie outfit ran through a handful of their biggest hits.
Opening the 6-song set – which included 'Read My Mind', 'The Man', and 'Mr Brightside' – was the group's politically-charged track 'Land Of The Free'. Flowers sat behind a grand piano for its first outing, backed by the band and a full live choir.
Elsewhere in the show, The Killers took on James Taylor's 1968 track 'Carolina in My Mind'. The gig was recorded for broadcast across two episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Meanwhile, Brandon Flowers recently told NME that he hadn't expected the divisive reaction to 'Land Of The Free'.
"We've got a lot of support and I think people agree with it for the most part," said the frontman. "I'm just surprised that nobody else wrote it before I did. As soon as Trump was elected, everyone was talking about all of the art that was going to start happening and how exciting it was going to be. I just didn't really see that.

30 Permian Basin Facilities Leak Half a Million Cars' Worth of Methane, Report Finds
4 Things You Need to Know As BP Gulf Oil Spill Trial Resumes
Sep 30, 2013 3:31AM EDT Home
By Bethany Kraft
The second phase of the trial to determine how much more money BP owes for its Gulf spill begins today. Here's what you need to know:
1. Phase two of the trial will cover how much oil BP actually discharged into the Gulf of Mexico as well as the effort to cap the well. (Remember the summer of "junk shots" and "top kills?")
BP says the U.S. government's estimate of 4.9 million barrels of oil is based on "faulty assumptions." The company says they spilled only about 2.45 million barrels. BP's estimate of a lower volume is based on the work of London-based professor Martin Blunt, who *ahem* used to work for BP. Either way, that's a lot of oil, so why the fuss? Penalties for discharging oil—a violation of the Clean Water Act—are based on the amount of oil discharged. A lower volume means a lower penalty—potentially around $7 billion less.
2. BP agreed to a criminal settlement last fall that requires the company to pay approximately $4 billion in fines over a five-year period. One of the guilty pleas was for obstruction of Congress. In May 2010, BP officials told Congress that the company's best estimate of the spill flow was about 5,000 barrels per day, even though BP's own scientists said in company communications that it was likely much higher.
To put the penalty BP paid for all of their criminal counts in perspective, their profits for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $3.984 billion, down from $4.986 billion the year prior.
3. BP has launched a PR campaign designed to shore up the company's assertion that they have "made it right" and to point fingers at Gulf residents, saying that many of the claims made as a result of losses incurred during the disaster are fraudulent and that the company has gone above and beyond in response and restoration. They took out full-page ads in several national newspapers asserting that they are being victimized.
The campaign moved into full swing during the month before phase two of the trial. According to The Hill, "Given that much of the advertising is in Washington, it may also be aimed at garnering political support to lessen pending Clean Water Act fines that are the subject of the ongoing federal trial."

4. Despite ads to the contrary, there is still oil lurking in the Gulf of Mexico and on our coast. We are just now starting to see science on the impact of the spill in the marine environment, like this study of its effect on sediment in the Gulf. Organizations like the Gulf Restoration Network regularly find oiled shorelines on their patrols.
Ultimately, the amount of money available for restoration of the Gulf of Mexico via the RESTORE Act comes down to two things: How much oil did BP discharge, and were they grossly negligent in the actions leading up to and during the disaster? Let the facts, not a slick PR campaign, determine the fate of the Gulf of Mexico.

After many years working as a Web Developer and Producer for large and small Web Companies, I decided to build my own business around a different kind of client relationship. It's really very simple: I want my clients to have full control over their websites. That means business owners update their company website whenever marketing demands it; content changes rapidly to reflect a growing business, industry updates, or new products/services; calendars and events modules tell your consumers the latest news; coupons, specials and seasonal work ads are there when you need them, and much more. In short, your website is managed and updated by you and your staff, the people who know your business best.
Your organization's website ideally plays a dynamic role within an integrated marketing plan. For some businesses, this means a website that features daily specials, product updates, or e-commerce, for others it might involve downloadable brochures, email campaigns with newsletters, blogs, bulletin boards to handle FAQs, or other dynamic content options. However you put your website to work, Joomla CMS allows you complete flexibility and control so that your website and your business grow together. Clear, streamlined administrative panels and menus allow you to fully update and edit your website. That means your updates happen when your business needs them not when an expensive maintenance plan says you can have them. You save money and your website keeps pace with your business's growth and change.

Israel Denies It, but Gaza Fighting Ended Mostly to Save Eurovision
The Israeli government acted to end the hostilities because it feared the cancellation of the song contest would hurt the country's standing internationally

Israel may have denied it, but the Eurovision Song Contest factored into the decision to end the fighting against Hamas earlier this month after a bloody three-day round of hostilities, in order to ensure that the event will take place in Tel Aviv as planned.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu worried that the contest's cancellation will damage Israel's image internationally, with ramifications to Israel's future hosting of large, international events.
>> Read more: Eurovision in Israel is still too tempting a target for Hamas ■ Netanyahu can no Longer pacify Gaza With Qatari cash and empty promises | Opinion
For the Israeli military, the fighting wasn't a complex or challenging operation. Over the past years, Israel has been fighting continuously with Hamas, Syria, Iran and Hezbollah in a manner that doesn't qualify as war, but is rather characterized by short rounds of fighting that last just several hours. Israel's main difficulty has been on the political level. Last week, Netanyahu had to explain to Israeli residents of Gaza-border communities, who were in their bomb shelters while 700 rockets were fired at them from the Strip in just 48 hours, why a cease-fire with Hamas was warranted.
Throughout, Netanyahu and his ministers insisted that Eurovision is not a priority. "Various cultural events should not factor into the magnitude of our attack, we must amp up our response in Gaza until quiet is restored, and renew our policy of targeted killings," said Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, who is a member of the security cabinet. "It's at the bottom of the priority list," said Science Minister Ofir Akunis.
Nonetheless, it was clear to these ministers and the others who left the security cabinet session on the day these comments were made that Eurovision must take place, and that everything should be done to end the fighting. On that day, Israel permitted the transfer of fuel into the Gaza Strip, under fire. Israel also tried to send a message to Hamas that they are unafraid of further escalation, by killing Hamas's Hamed al-Khoudary, the first targeted killing since 2014. It was convenient for the political rank to make it appear as if Israel didn't care too much about Eurovision, and the military cooperated.
On Monday, at 4:00 A.M., the Israel Air Force received an order to stop its attacks in Gaza, amid denials that a cease-fire agreement has been reached. The money transfer from Qatar took place, fuel was let into the Strip, the fishing zone was enlarged, and border crossings were opened.

'Hey everyone, let's wave to Hamas'
Even though Israel made substantive moves over the past week vis a vis Hamas to make sure that Eurovision will take place, the security apparatus cannot be certain that Hamas won't continue to blackmail Israel for more benefits. That is why the military deployed its Iron Dome missile defense system throughout the south and center of Israel. When Israel's representative in the competition will set foot off the Eurovision stage, Iron Dome soldiers will make their way back to the south, to protect residents who will be targeted in the fast-approaching next round of fighting.

if i click children of first li menu, keeping open then click another one the previous will be close and clicked menu open. Is it possible without use redux?

A: There is quite a bit to unpack here so I apologize in advance if this post ends up longer than you desired.
First off, and to address your question about Redux

Is it possible without use redux?

Most definitely. Lots of people used React before redux was a thing and for some apps even today can get away without redux (using the Context API is an option).
Before just showing you to code let me comment on some of your existing code

classOnTarget.classList.add("on");

by doing this you are effectively using the DOM's classList to hold your state rather than React. While there are cases that something like that might be needed (e.g. you are introducing some react components into an existing codebase) I don't think that's the case here and we should change that.
Let's start small, what if you want to have a single menu open or close. One approach could be to have something like
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
...
return
...

The, maybe obvious, next step is what if I have two menus?
const [isFirstOpen, setIsFirstOpen] = useState(false);
const [isSecondOpen, setIsSecondOpen] = useState(false);
...
return (

First

Second

);

but the above code is neither pretty nor scalable (what if I have 10 items in the menu?). So instead of representing the state of each possible menu you might want to keep track of which one is open/active
const [activeRoute, setActiveRoute] = useState();
...
return (

First

Second

);

Now, we want the active route to change based on what is being clicked
const [activeRoute, setActiveRoute] = useState();
const navigateTo = (newRoute) => {
  history(newRoute);
  setActiveRoute(newRoute);
};
...
return (

 navigateTo('/first')}>First

 navigateTo('/second')}>Second

);

Now you might ask, well that's all nice and dandy but how do I deal with a nested menu? like in your case.
You might notice in your existing code that all the onClick handlers happen in the deepest (the most nested) li / button, not on the first level of the menu.
So lets say that on your first level you just want to add a class so it looks like that's the active menu.
const MENU_MAP = {
  '/first': 'menuA',
  '/second': 'menuA',
  '/third': 'menuB',
  '/fourth': 'menuB',
};

const [activeRoute, setActiveRoute] = useState();
const navigateTo = (newRoute) => {
  history(newRoute);
  setActiveRoute(newRoute);
};
const activeMenu = activeRoute ? MENU_MAP[activeRoute] : null;
...
return (

 navigateTo('/first')}>First

 navigateTo('/second')}>Second

 navigateTo('/third')}>Third

 navigateTo('/fourth')}>Fourth

);

I hope you can see a pattern in the above and apply that to your specific HTML requirements of using ol, li, button. Hope this helps
--
For anyone other than the OP reading this and thinking "this could be cleaner" or "we could use useContext" or "we could add an abstraction here and here", save it. The verbosity on my answer to hopefully help the OP see the pattern so they can figure out a solution; this is not about showing off you know redux or mobX or how to use hooks.

Will Smith Performs "Summertime" On Jimmy Kimmel
Rose Lilah
@roselilahhshit
Will Smith blessed the Jimmy Kimmel stage with a performance of "Summertime."
Will Smith has been on a roll lately, performing some of his old/classic material while promoting his new movie "Focus." After doing "Getting Jiggy Wit It" for David Letterman, and an off-the-cuff performance of the "Fresh Prince" theme song for Ellen, he gets us itching for summer with a "Summertime" performance. Watch the quick performance of the jazz-riddled track above.
Will Smith may be getting back into the music soon, at least, he's hinted at it during several recent interviews (plus all these performances must mean something, right?). In the meantime though you can always listen to the next best thing, Jaden Smith (?).

1) If you have not been to Otter Brook, these are the BEST directions. USE THEM!! Do not use directions from Disc Golf Scene.
2) The course will be covered with snow. Please ribbon up! Do this to warm discs the day before! Bring spikes if you got them, but looks like there will be enough snow for traction. We have gotten 4"+ today in Keene.
3) Please be on time. The days are short and cold and I dont want folks sitting around. We have a couple things to do in the morning and I want to be heading out to holes at 9:15. We will be registering and having player meeting at the top lot. We will have someone there right around 8AM.
4) Lunch is on the course. You will not have time to go into town or probably even go to your car. Bring out what you need/want for the day.
5) We will be raffling off a bunch of stuff. Everyone will get a ticket in their player pack, but of course we will be selling extras. Among prizes, 2 20$ gift certificates to Brewtopia in Keene. If you like craft beer, you will love Brewtopia!! We will also be auctioning off hole 3 and 8 as starting holes (both rounds) in morning. If you want to "sponsor" a hole besides 3 and 8, you can have it, first come, first serve for 15$ a team. All money goes to after party and Keene Disc Golf Club.
6) We will have a prize for best costume or team theme. This is not mandatory, but could be fun if you are not lame.
7) We will be having the Jim Sicard After Party at Joe Peanuts in Keene after the tourney. We will be buying first round of wings and fries. Will get more depending on raffles and such. This will not go on all night as we need to be out by 7 for their xmas party.
8) People, this is a for fun tournament. A chance to celebrate the season, look back at 2017, meet some new friends and chuck some plastic in one of my favorite places.
Again Mike and I thank you and look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Is Obama's popularity a result of Hollywood inverse racism?
by Steve Harris on October 20, 2008
The magical negro (sometimes called the mystical negro or magic negro) is a term generally used to describe a supporting, often mystical stock character in fiction who, by use of special insight or powers, helps the white protagonist get out of trouble. The word negro, now considered by many as archaic and offensive, is used intentionally to suggest that the archetype is a racist throwback, an update of the "Sambo" and "savage other" stereotypes.[1] Spike Lee popularized the term, deriding the archetype of the "super-duper magical negro" in 2001 while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale University.
I've noticed this about Hollywood films from the 1980s — when people used not-racism to prove they were morally superior to the Soviets, or so they thought — through the present day: if you need a wise character, or someone to give moral guidance, you trot out Morgan Freeman or another semi-stereotypical African-American.
This role is both positive, because they are shown as intelligent, and negative, because they are portrayed as being the outsider who has wisdom but cannot participate. That's an updated racial stereotype — Step N Fetchit, Ph.D.
Since we know that most people get their knowledge of reality from television and movies, since their parents are probably divorced and working late each night anyway, we have to assume that they will sleepwalk into accepting this definition as part of reality. Interesting how hidden racial prejudice turns into ostentatious anti-bigotry stances.

A richly responsive game about animals occupying a human body, November 19, 2018
Related reviews: about 1 hour
This was one of the best and most-talked-about games form IFComp 2018.
I played through this one once during the comp and about 6 or 7 times afterwards.
This game has some of the greatest responsivity I've ever seen in a choice game. You make a choice between several different characters to inhabit 4 regions of a robot-child's body. Each area of the body has 3 choices.
Throughout the game, the character inside a given area will talk, and there are 3 variants every time this happens. In addition, there is a point where any two characters can talk to each other, which gives (I believe) around 90 combinations, some of which are merged but still very impressive. There are multiple pathways through everything.
Basically, this is a combinatorial explosion game, which are usually very short because it's impossible to make them long. This is a long game, though, so that means the author worked incredibly hard.
It also made me laugh a lot at different points, literally laughing out loud (for instance when (Spoiler - click to show)Charlie the robot is standing in the toilet flushing his feet over and over until mom comes in).
I'm giving it 4 stars just because I felt that, although my choices mattered a lot, it was hard for me to make and execute plans. I tried so many times just to get to Martin's house, even with the author's help, and I wish I could have known better how to do that. But this is an incredible achievement of a game.

Wurlitzer 200A, Village Vanguard
Donny McCaslin and Jason Lindner
Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2002, Big Wrench Piano Care is a small, craft-oriented piano sales, tuning and repair service catering to the needs of piano owners and musicians on every scale. At its core is Brian Whiton, Registered Piano Technician (RPT). Beginning in the Twin Cities of Minnesota at Steinway & Sons retail giant Schmitt Music and moving to Brooklyn in 2001, Brian has worked with several of the finest piano rebuilders and tuners in New York City. Early influences include established tuner/technicians Steve Drasche and the late Gene Manfrini; experience in the local Piano Technician's Guild has led to association with esteemed technicians Daniel Levitan RPT, and Mike Miccio RPT, and soundboard guru and old world master craftsman, Marco DeLellis. In late 2011, Big Wrench opened a piano sales showroom and repair/rebuilding shop on the popular Smith Street in Brooklyn, and has since relocated to a bigger facility on the corner of Hoyt and Degraw Streets. Other tuner/technicians currently helping out at Big Wrench Piano Care are Steve Okonski, Isaac Namias, Scott Murphy RPT and Nicholas Meara-Bainbridge. Steve and Brian also work together with the sales and service of vintage electric pianos, mainly models produced by Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer.
In addition to our showroom of fully rebuilt and refurbished pianos, we focus on piano action rebuilding, most notably the high-end balancing and calibration work pioneered by David Stanwood, RPT. We are currently the only licensed business within New York City that performs the patented balancing work known as a Precision TouchDesign™, which pairs the weight of each piano hammer to the weight of the key, calibrating each note similar to a balance scale. Other services include professional in-home tuning, cleaning, repairs large and small, action regulation, appraisals and evaluations for potential buyers and sellers, full or partial rebuilding including soundboard and pin block repair or replacement, re-stringing and refinishing. Many aspects of the trade and services available can be seen and heard in a visit to the Carroll Gardens/Gowanus, Brooklyn showroom and workshop at 264 Hoyt Street.
Our shop is a musical haven and we have the utmost respect for all genres of music. A visit to our showroom will often find professional musicians playing pianos and guitars, or talented amateurs and students stopping in to try a rebuilt Steinway grand piano or smaller refurbished upright. We have filmed and recorded many local musicians, producing several small videos of their work called Big Wrench Sessions, and our work on vintage electric pianos is showcased in our live Acoustic Electric Series. Back in the shop, we are constantly studying, researching, or experimenting to find a better way to accomplish an improved result. Our goal is best summed up in Brian's quote: "Like all successful tuner-technicians, I have a deep love for the instrument. I realize I'm fortunate to make a living in an interesting and challenging field and don't want to take it for granted. I enjoy all aspects of this trade. A unique satisfaction derives from basic tasks, like a crisp tuning or small repair, to larger endeavors such as the giving of new life to a once ailing piano. I strive to remain rooted to the circular process of playing an instrument, improving upon it, learning from the experience, and restarting the cycle."
Why the name Big Wrench? "People seem to enjoy the name, and pianos are big and can require large tools to maintain them. But it really relates to my late grandfather, who managed his own business as a skilled tradesman and plumber. In my youth, he taught me a great deal of knowledge as well as practical hand and tool skills as I worked with him on various construction projects. He was a master craftsman who never settled for anything but the best. One image I'll never forget is that of a giant six-foot pipe wrench adorning the wall of his shop. I was always riveted by it--a wrench as big as a person! It is a powerful memory that connects my grandfather and his knowledge to my craft." Hence Big Wrench Piano Care and the roots of service in a trade, from the midwestern small town of Freeport, Illinois in the mid 20th century to New York City today.

As in all other European countries, Christmas is a family celebration in Spain.
Compared to other countries the advent season is a quiet time. Christmas activities really get started with the extraordinary Christmas lottery "El Gordo" – considered the biggest lottery in the world for the sheer amount of money that can be won. The lottery has taken place since 1812 and is one of the most anxiously awaited events of the year.
The pupils of the San Ildefonso school in Madrid are responsible for holding up (or "picking out") the winning balls and for singing out the numbers. They spend the whole year rehearsing for this special event.
On Christmas Eve people have a special dinner with their family and afterwards often go to church for the midnight mass. Each region has its own special food to be eaten on this day. In Andalusia often seafood and fish is served. Typical desserts are nougat, marzipan, polvorones and nuts.
It is also tradition for children to go from house to house singing carols and playing typical instruments such as the tambourine.
This is not such an important day on the Spanish Christmas calendar. Of course families gather and eat together and some children get given their gifts already although most have to wait until January 5th.
Although it originates from a very bloody event, today it is a day where people pull pranks or jokes on each other in order to have a good laugh, much like what other countries do on April 1st.
Dinner is eaten at home or in a restaurant. The Spanish TV airs the countdown to the new year and at midnight the bells chiming 12 times (the official ones from the Puerta del Sol in Madrid). With each stroke of midnight a grape must be eaten for good luck (12 in total). The New Year is welcomed.
The night of January 5th is very special for the little ones. This is the night the Three Kings visit all of the children in Spain after having received their letters expressing their wishes. In many cities there is a parade for the Three Kings and candy is thrown to the children.
Upon awakening well-behaved children find gifts from Melchior, Gaspar and Balthasar waiting to be opened. Those who werent's so well-behaved find a lump of coal waiting for them.
In Spain a typical cake is eaten on this day called "roscón de reyes". It is a cake filled with whipped cream and marzipan. Every cake has a small plastic figure hidden in it. The person who finds the figure in their piece of cake will get the crown while the person who finds the bean must pay for the cake.

Peter Turnquest (third from left) and Minister of State for Grand Bahama, Senator Kwasi Thompson (right) stand for a photo with principals of FowlCo Marine and Logistics Management, following opening ceremonies for the new company on Saturday, February 24, 2018. Bahamian owners of the company Curtis Fowler, Founder (second from right) and Glennett Fowler, Managing Director (third from right) have joined forces with Juan Sancho Ovejero, Managing Director of Blue Parrot Offshore (second from left).
Also bringing remarks during the opening ceremony for the new marine and logistics management company was Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon. K. Peter Turnquest, who noted what the Fowlers have been able to accomplish, will bode well for the future of Grand Bahama and the entire Bahamas. He noted that the establishment of the new company represents what the Government of The Bahamas is trying to create throughout the country – upwardly, mobile, intelligent Bahamians, who have a vision for the future of the country. "We will do our part to help give our citizens the most advantageous position that we can in order for them to be successful," said Minister Turnquest. "All around us, we see success in this industry and people are doing well, and we celebrate that. The economic impact on the country from this industry has been significant. It is time now though, for us as Bahamians to take more of an active stake in this industry. "I am proud of those who have done so already and who have shown tremendous success in providing service to the industry. But there is more room and so we welcome this addition today in the opening of this new company." The Deputy Prime Minister reminded Grand Bahamians to continue to focus on the good things that are taking place in the country. He said that there is enough negative talk both locally and internationally, but he noted that as long as Grand Bahamians maintain a positive attitude and mindset and work together, great things can be accomplished.

Goosebumps Most Wanted #2: Son of Slappy

But sometimes you can be too nice for your own good, as Jackson finds out when he meets Slappy's son – another creepy ventriloquist's puppet. You thought one evil dummy was bad enough? Nope! This book has double the dummies, double the danger and double the destruction. Yikes!
Goosebumps Most Wanted (book 2)
Goosebumps Most Wanted
Author/Illustrator
Goosebumps cast a spell upon children by transforming even the most reluctant students into avid readers. Despite the fact that almost every book has a different collection of characters, the series has one common element that kids can't get enough of: THE AUTHOR!
However believable his plots seem to his readers, Stine insists he has never lived one of his stories. "I've never turned into a bee – I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life. For example, one Halloween my son, Matt, put a mask on and then had trouble pulling it off. That gave me the idea for The Haunted Mask."
Although he never experienced terror first hand, he did enjoy reading about it. "When I was a kid, there were these great comic books called )Tales From The Crypt_ and The Vault of Horror. They were gruesome. I discovered them in the barbershop and thought they were fabulous. I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I wouldn't miss any of these comic books. I had no hair at all when I was a kid!"
His ideas came from two sources: his memory and his imagination. "When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books." He also keeps a tribal mask and a skeleton hanging in his writing studio to provide eerie surroundings. Although he handles the writing by himself, Stine says he gets "lots of help from my editors, my readers, and my friends."
Kids reading Goosebumps may be looking for a scare, but the laughs they get are no accident. Before he was R.L., he was Jovial Bob, author of such works as 101 Silly Monster Jokes, and Bozos on Patrol and editor of Bananas magazine. His ability to know what kids will laugh at , as well as what will frighten them, makes the Goosebumps series all the more enjoyable for his readers.
Stine started writing when he was 9 years old! He would write stories and jokes on an old typewriter and hand them out at school. "The teacher would grab them and take them away," Stine says, "but I kept doing it." He wrote for his high school newspaper in Columbus Ohio. After graduating from Ohio State University, he moved to New York City, where he worked on a variety of writing jobs.
Although his books are fun and exciting, writing them is serious stuff. He treats writing "…like a job." To unwind after work he enjoys playing the pinball machine conveniently located in his own apartment.
For aspiring authors, Stine feels reading is as important as writing. He offers this advice: "If you want to be a writer, don't worry so much about writing. Read as much as you can. Read as many different writers as you can. Soak up the styles. You can learn all kinds of ways to say things." As a boy he read Norse legends, Greek myths, Edgar Allan Poe and baseball stories. "And Mad Magazine changed my life" His favorite thriller? Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury.

Hi Andrew, yes new players usually start with a 1800 rating, but if the player specify a rating below (or an official rating). I did not notice Zack's provisional rating, quite strange, but anyway it should increase very fast.
Hello Thibault, In these cases, cant you re-rate these 'type of players when you receive further information regarding their standard of play?
Well, it should be really exceptional, actually I don't understand why so strong players did not ask for this provisional rating change before starting to play (volunteer ? ;)) .. Anyway, as no rated result has been recorded in this case, a standard 1800 provisional rating seems ok.
It would be nice to have frequent rating updates besides every 2 months, like once a month. In 2 months some players ratings change quite a bit. Like playing an opponent who is rated at 2000 but is actually 2120 when it is updated.
Hello Jonathon. This is one major point in correspondence chess, I can't even explain all the reasons why 2 months is probably the best rating change period, but there are many cases that justify it.
Hi Wayne. About provisional ratings, you started with the default rating at that time (1400, max. provisional rating was 1700 though), as every player do in any organization, now why a strong player delete the default rating (1800) when registering ? .. I understand this as "no rating, beginner", this is most probably what happened with Zack's rating.
