Patty Jenkins Will Direct a 'Star Wars: Rogue Squadron' Movie
No less than 10 Star Wars TV series are coming to Disney+ in the next few years — including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Star Wars Visions, Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic, Star Wars: Lando, and Star Wars: Ahsoka. That seems like a lot of Star Wars stuff right there. But Lucasfilm isn't abandoning the Star Wars movie franchise either. At Disney's Investor Day they confirmed that Taika Waititi is writing a new Star Wars movie right now. And they also revealed a previously unannounced project: A Star Wars film from Patty Jenkins called Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, about the famous group of X-Wing pilots.
Shortly after Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy announced the news, Patty Jenkins posted a video to her Twitter account where he described why she wanted to take on the project. "I love to move fast," she explained. "I grew up the daughter of a great fighter pilot, and every day I would wake up and go outside and look up and see my father and his squadron taking off in their F-4s roaring across the sky, and it was the most thrilling thing still I've experienced in my entire life."
When Jenkins' father died, it "ignited a desire" in her to turn that tragedy and the thrill she felt into "the greatest fighter pilot movie of all time." She couldn't find the right story for that movie, she explained — until Star Wars: Rogue Squadron came along.
The Rogue Squadron, introduced in The Empire Strikes Back and featuring Luke Skywalker, have also been featured in Star Wars comics and video games. Now they're getting their own movie — which, let's face it, will probably then become more comics and games after that.

Q: Sass is concatenating instead of adding? I need to define a width in my SCSS code as so:
#example {
  width: $currentWidth + 349 !important;
}

Where $currentWidth is defined by the loop.
However, Sass always ends up concatenating the two numbers instead of doing the arithmetic.
I have also tried:
width: #{$currentWidth + 349}px !important;
Which still results in concatenation.
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong? I know this is incredibly basic, but I also can't seem to find good information on how Sass handles arithmetic

A: Assuming $currentWidth is an integer.
SASS:
$currentWidth: 30;

#example {
  width: unquote( ($currentWidth + 349) + 'px ' + !important );
}

CSS OUTPUT:
#example {
  width: 379px !important;
}

You can test it here:

Brandon Austin, a Philly 4-star combo guard, commits to PSU basketball
Updated Feb 10, 2012 ; Posted Feb 10, 2012
By David Jones | djones@pennlive.com
Teenagers love nothing more than to be trendy. And they're pack animals. Once somebody respected latches onto something, several others usually follow.
View full sizeCHARLES FOX, The Philadelphia Inquirer, 2011Imhotep Charter's Brandon Austin, right, has the handle to play either the point or the 2-guard at the next level.
So, it makes sense that word-of-mouth among players can be the most effective recruiting tool a coach has. And right now rookie Penn State men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers has it going where he's been targeting most -- his home area of Philadelphia, the most fertile recruiting ground in the region.
Chambers got a big-time verbal commitment on Thursday night from Philadelphia Imhotep Charter junior combo guard Brandon Austin who says he will attend Penn State beginning in the autumn of 2013.
The 6-6 Austin is a lanky pipe-cleaner type with spring and a yo-yo handle whose versatility really stands out. He can either slash in from the wing or conceivably play the point for the Nittany Lions after Tim Frazier graduates next year. He is rated the 93rd-best player nationally in the junior class (2013) by scout.com and the third-best in Pennsylvania.
Austin has been offered at one time or another by basically everyone in the current Big East including Georgetown, Syracuse and Villanova but chose Penn State anyway. That says a lot.
This is a very big recruit for the Nittany Lions' coach, especially considering it's another inroad to urban Philly and vicinity, an area that until recently barely knew PSU had a basketball program. Along with 6-7 Trenton Catholic forward Brandon Taylor and Strawberry Mansion's D.J. Newbill, who transferred up from Southern Mississippi and is sitting this year out per NCAA bylaws, that's three tough, well-regarded Philly-area players with prestigious AAU backgrounds.
And along with 6-3 Shaler combo Geno Thorpe, arguably the best player in the western half of the state, it creates a core of incoming talent from Pennsylvania unlike Penn State has ever fielded. Under Chambers, PSU has suddenly become a major recruiting factor in its own state -- something it's never been.
According to Austin, Thorpe, Newbill and Taylor all pitched in to twist his arm. But he was already interested:
"I chose Penn State because of its academics, the school, the program, the coaches. There's also the conference [the Big Ten] and the exposure it gets. And I like the team a lot."
Austin knows Newbill from Philly high school and AAU ball. And Thorpe waged a virtual recruiting campaign for Austin on Twitter.
"I think Penn State is a good situation for me," said Austin. "The players they have coming back, they need a player like me to become successful."
That's a diplomatic way to say he'll have an ample opportunity to play right away because the last-place Nittany Lions try very hard but simply need some talent.
Austin has that in raw form. He has the slick handle to get into the paint but also the length and vision to see over defenders and locate teammates while he's in the process of penetrating.
According to Hoop Scoop's Allen Rubin who specializes in metro Philadelphia including south Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, Austin was at or near the very top of his region's recruits as an entering sophomore in the fall of 2010. He has plateaued some lately because, according to Rubin, "He has to learn how to play without the ball and his outside shot needs some work. But he gets to the basket very well and he can make plays while he's getting there."
A motivated Austin also stands to be a handful on defense. His spidery physique and quickness could make him a perimeter nightmare for opponents when he's darting into their passing lanes.
According to Austin, he's being recruited by Penn State as a point guard. Of course, considering his versatility and his ability to play three positions, that remains to be seen. But he can always make plays from the wing and be a "point forward," a la the Milwaukee Bucks' 1980s master Paul Pressey, the man who minted the genre.
That'll be up to Chambers far down the road when the 2013-14 pieces are assembled in 19 months. And he's gaining plenty of pieces to play with.

AI & The Benefits of a Human Touch
Artificial intelligence (AI) used to be the stuff of science fiction. Nowadays, AI has been integrated into many aspects of our lives. From robo-advisors to household devices like Alexa, it's not unusual to see machine learning being used in almost every industry.
What about AI for voice acting? Will this technology take over the need to hire real voice actors? Here are some pretty compelling reasons why actual people will still trump machines in voiceover work:
Human Emotions Can't be Replicated
Text-to-speech programs are undoubtedly becoming more sophisticated. Some can even sound close to actual human speech. The technology available these days makes them easy to program, which is convenient for large, ambitious projects that don't necessarily have the time and budget to hire many voice actors.
However, what separates human voice actors from AI voiceover programs is how the former can express a wide range of emotions. Even if AI voiceover programs can mimic human speech, they can still fall short when it comes to tone, accent, and inflection. Even with top-of-the-line AI and programming, modern science has yet to find a way to replicate human emotion — and it shows in AI voiceovers.
AIs Can Sound Unnatural
AIs for voiceovers are like the special effects in a movie: they can seem pretty innovative at first, but you can still figure out which one's machine-generated and which one isn't — and it can be pretty distracting. Unlike a machine's brain, the human brain has thousands of years of evolution behind it that help us recognize actual human voices. Even with a complex program, AI voices can still sound stilted, unnatural, flat, and emotionless. You'll always have that nagging feeling that something's just not entirely right with an AI-generated voice.
Better Judgment
There are lots of ways emotion can be expressed. Sadness, disappointment, joy, surprise, or a number of others can have several different articulations. AI voice programs may imitate this to some degree, but they won't always deliver the right expression for a particular line. Humans, on the other hand, can understand context deeper, enabling them to make that judgment call about whether they should hold back or go all out when delivering a line of dialogue.
The Human Touch
While AI voiceover programs can be a good investment for certain situations, it's still better to hire a voiceover artist for any kind of project. Not only will you get a more natural-sounding voice, but they'll be able to give you that human touch that can elevate your project into something that's even more wonderful than you expected.

Quake leaves destruction, fear
In Japan, an earthquake started a tsunami that caused a nuclear disaster
People in Japan face a catastrophe that has gone from terrible to tragic. The disaster began as an earthquake that launched a powerful ocean wave, called a tsunami, that caused destruction all along the coast. Those natural disasters damaged a cluster of nuclear reactors in Japan, leading to one of the worst nuclear disasters in recent years.
"My homeland has been struck by a tragedy of cataclysmic proportions. This has been one of the greatest natural disasters of modern times, the full extent of which is still becoming clear," said Yukiya Amano, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in a press conference on March 14. "The events of the last few days are truly unprecedented."
On the afternoon of Friday, March 11, an earthquake struck the floor of the Pacific Ocean 80 miles east of northern Japan. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the earthquake had a magnitude of 9.0, making it one of the most powerful in recent history. The magnitude of an earthquake is determined by measuring how strongly the Earth shook. People reported feeling the ground move all across the island country, both during the first quake itself and during hundreds of others that followed. Those later, smaller earthquakes are called aftershocks.
During the earthquake, the sea floor moved. That motion made the water go up and down and caused a tsunami, or a powerful ocean wave, that moved outward from the center of the earthquake site like the ripples that you see when a pebble drops in a pond. These ripples, though, were giant and spread out over the ocean.
Waves are how energy moves across the surface of the ocean, and when these waves struck Japan's coast, they brought destruction. Within minutes, coastal towns flooded as unknown numbers of people were swept away with cars, boats and even buildings. Countries around the Pacific Ocean received tsunami warnings.
About 180 miles north of Tokyo, Japan's capital city, two nuclear reactors were seriously damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. Although the reactors were equipped with safety devices intended to shut them down in case of an earthquake, the backup power supplies were also damaged by the quake and the tsunami. As a result, they failed.
The inside machinery of the reactors needs to be kept cool; if it's not cool enough, a reactor could melt and possibly even destroy the protective metal vessel that encases the nuclear fuel. During a meltdown, radiation could be released into the air, threatening the health and safety of people nearby.
These nuclear reactors, part of a facility called Fukushima Daiichi, generate electricity for millions of people through a process called fission. During fission, a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller atoms. At most of the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi, atoms of an element called uranium-235 are the ones that break apart. Uranium-235 is natural on Earth, but it is unstable — which means it's always ready to break apart. (The number 235 identifies how many protons and neutrons make up the nucleus, or heart, of a single atom.)
When an atom of uranium-235 fissions, it forms smaller atoms but also releases particles called neutrons. These particles can hit other atoms of uranium-235 and cause them to break apart — and then those newly split atoms release neutrons, which keep the reaction going and going. This is what occurs inside a nuclear reactor.
This reaction happens inside narrow rods that hold fuel pellets, which are immersed in water. As they undergo fission, the atoms inside the fuel rods produce heat. That heat will be transferred to water outside the reactor. As that water turns into steam, it is used to turns turbines that produce electricity.
Nuclear fission generates a lot of heat, so the nuclear reactors in which fission occurs need water to keep everything cool. At Fukushima Daiichi, which includes six reactors, water became the problem. According to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency in Japan, the reactors lost power after the earthquake. That wasn't a problem because backup generators started pumping water to remove heat building up inside the reactors. But when the tsunami struck, it took out those backup generators ― leaving the reactors dangerously hot. Then, another backup system, running on batteries, started. But it couldn't keep up.
Explosions have seriously damaged other buildings associated with four of the reactors. A big and yet-unanswered question is whether it was the explosions or the excess heat in the reactor's core that damaged the vessel that contains the fuel.
The core has become damaged. It appears to largely be holding the radioactive gases that have been developing. At times, however, reactor-safety teams have released small amounts of those radioactive gases to reduce the pressure in the vessel that holds the fuel.
Radiation levels around the reactors have become dangerous.
One reason is that old fuel rods from the six reactors at Fukushima Daiichi are stored near the reactors in pools of water. In many cases, those fuel rods are still quite hot. Circulating water is needed to cool these old fuel rods. But when the tsunami knocked out backup cooling to these pools, some lost much if not all of their water for a time. Under these conditions, radiation levels can increase enough to imperil the lives of workers. And on several occasions in the first week following the accident, many workers were sent home for their safety.
Some steam released from the reactors has also left the facility. Radiation from that steam has been detected in the countryside. Levels of radiation were not high, but because they could become high on short notice, people living within 20 kilometers of the reactor facility were told to evacuate. Those living between 20 and 30 kilometers of the plants were advised to stay indoors.
Even tinier amounts of radiation — levels almost too low to measure — have crossed the Pacific Ocean and been recorded in Washington State and California. As of March 21, these levels were too small to pose a risk to people living in the United States.
It will take months for Japanese officials to bring the reactors under control and for the country to dig out from the triple disaster that hit. Stay tuned.

Dipteran invasion of green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests at Heron Island, Queensland
posted on 2017-12-06, 00:00 authored by Andrea PhillottAndrea Phillott
There have been several reports of insect infestations at sea turtle nests, usually by larvae of the dipteran family Phoridae (Fowler, 1979; Bjorndal et al., 1985; Broderick & Hancock, 1997; McGowan et al., 2001) and Sarcophagidae (Lopes, 1982; Broderick & Hancock, 1997; McGowan et al., 2001), but also infrequently by coleopteran larvae (Baran & Turkozan, 1996; Broderick & Hancock, 1997; McGowan et al., 2001) and Hymenoptera (Broderick & Hancock, 1997). These reports have come from green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests in Costa Rica (Fowler, 1979), Mexico (Lopes, 1982) and Cyprus (Broderick & Hancock, 1997); hawksbill turtle (Erefmochelys imbricata) nests in Costa Rica (Bjorndal et al., 1985); and loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nests in Turkey (Baran & Turkozan, 1996) and Cyprus (Broderick & Hancock, 1997). There have been no published reports of insects in Australian sea turtle nests. In the 1996/97 and 1997/98 nesting seasons green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests at Heron I. (23o26'S 151o55'E) were located after hatchling emergence and excavated according to procedures by described by Philott (2002). Larvae were found in eggs that had failed to hatch, pipped eggs containing dead embryos, and emerged hatchlings remaining in the egg mass (see Table 1).

Three runners for the stable at Ballarat on Wednesday including the debutant, Parsifal.
Parsifal is a three-year-old brother to our own Lord Barrington and the son of Darci Brahma has shown he can gallop.
Mike Moroney is looking forward to getting Parsifal started.
"He has shown in his work he has good ability and his jumpouts have been good," Moroney said.
"He is still very green and new and is also a horse that is very lazy and needs to be made to do it.
Little Rock is the first to go in race two, the Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate over 1100m where she has drawn barrier four and will be ridden by Patrick Moloney.
Moroney has added blinkers to the daughter of Fastnet Rock and feels they will assist.
"She trialled well with them on at her last jump out and has worked impressively in them," Moroney said.
"She has shown us nice ability at home and even though she is first-up I'm expecting her to run well.
Bolek (pictured) runs in race seven, the Class 1 Handicap over 1200m where scratchings have reduced the field to eight.
The three-year-old son of Swift Alliance won his Maiden impressively at Mornington last start and has pleased Moroney since.
"Bolek has done extremely well since his excellent win and had a jump out in between where he went terrific," Moroney said.
"The way the field has cut up I feel he will run a big race and be hard to beat.

Air Force Offers Glimpse into 6th-Gen Fighters, Future Flight Suits
Screengrab from "Air Force 2030 -- Call to Action" video
Military.com | By Oriana Pawlyk
The Air Force Research Lab has unveiled a new video that gives a further glimpse into proposed ideas for sixth-generation fighters and various missiles, as well as drone swarming concepts and unmanned planes.
The Air Force's leading research organization touts programs such as Loyal Wingman, Gremlins and the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project in the video, dubbed "Air Force 2030 -- Call to Action" posted on YouTube on March 22.
"Today's research is tomorrow's Air Force technology," the video narration says. "The U.S. Air Force is seeking the next great research idea that will yield the next great Air Force capability."
The five-minute video hinges on the idea that these developments are direct descendants of earlier programs, such as X-planes, which were experimental aircraft and rockets in the late 1940s that led to the first iteration of supersonic flight.
Navy Likely to Be First Service to Field Laser Weapons, Expert Says
Air Force Wants to Invest Heavily in Next-Gen Technologies
Air Force Needs Disposable Aircraft, Official Says
For example, the video says data collected from the X-planes program led to the development of the F-22 Raptor and its fifth-generation flight capabilities. Similar data is being harvested today for future programs, including developments in the space and cyber domains, AFRL said.
Some highlights from the video:
Loyal Wingman, or unmanned fighters that can think autonomously, will be sent out alongside F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to scout enemy territory ahead of a strike, or to gather intel for the pilot in the formation. A flight demo is expected sometime in 2022.
Next-gen flight suits will monitor blood pressure, breathing, heart rate and muscle tension.
Gremlins, or controlled micro drones, will drop out of cargo planes to swarm enemy defenses ahead of fighters, ships or ground vehicles. AFRL and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, or DARPA, anticipate a flight demonstration in 2019.
CHAMP is a missile that emits high-powered microwaves to take out power grids and electrical systems without destroying infrastructure. The AFRL, alongside Boeing Co. and Raytheon, successfully tested the technology in 2012.
Laser weapons are in development or prototyping for various aircraft such as the AC-130J gunship and the F-15 Eagle.
The service plans to invest heavily in rapid research and testing for advanced aircraft and weapons. The Air Force's budget request for fiscal 2019 shows it is asking for $504 million next year for its next-generation air dominance research, development, test and evaluation program.
It also has a planned investment of roughly $11 billion over the course of five years for RDT&E on next-gen air dominance, according to its future years defense program.
The service in 2016 debuted its Air Superiority 2030 roadmap, which includes the sustainment of old fighters and new jets such as the F-22 and F-35, but also outlines next-generation air dominance, defined as advanced fighter aircraft, sensors or weapons -- or all of the above -- in a growing and unpredictable threat environment.
The Air Force has been keen to move away from a "one-size-fits-all" mentality, instead developing a "family of systems" approach. Officials have said it helps when the service turns to the defense industry for contributions to the program.
AFRL's video comes at a time when the service says it wants to clamp down on publicly showing or talking about its future technologies so that adversaries such as Russia and China can't capitalize on revealed secrets.

Relief of experimental spasticity and anxiolytic/anticonvulsant actions of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate antagonist 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(F)quinoxaline.
Spasticity is characterized by pathological overactivity in spinal stretch reflex circuits and may be associated with disturbances in excitatory amino acid-mediated transmission in the cord. A genetically determined syndrome of spasticity in the rat permits the quantitative evaluation of the antispastic effects of drugs by recording activity in the electromyogram (EMG) from a hind limb extensor muscle. In genetically spastic rats, systemic administration of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) antagonist, 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(F) quinoxaline (NBQX), normalized pathologically increased EMG activity, whereas the AMPA agonist, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-tertbutyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (ATPA), exacerbated the EMG measures of spasticity. The reflex mechanisms in the spinal cord can be studied in mice using EMG recordings from the tibial muscle (Hoffmann reflex) or from the plantar foot muscle (flexor reflex) after electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve. Systemic and i.t. administration of NBQX blocked Hoffmann reflexes in mice, leaving flexor reflexes unchanged. ATPA enhanced Hoffmann, and had no effect on flexor reflexes. The effects of NBQX on spinal reflexes were seen in doses which do not affect locomotor activity, but show anxiolytic and some antiepileptic activity in rodents. These data suggest that the design of novel muscle relaxant drugs acting at the AMPA subtype of glutamate receptors may be feasible.
