Bill Reed had it all - brains, looks, athleticism, courage and a talent for leadership. After a challenging childhood in Depression-era Iowa, Reed joined the US Army Air Corps, but the outbreak of World War II saw him give up his commission. Instead, he travelled to China to fly for the American Volunteer Group - the legendary Flying Tigers. After a brief return to America, he resumed the fight as a senior pilot and later squadron commander in the Chinese-American Composite Wing. Soon afterwards, Reed tragically lost his life in a desperate parachute jump late in the war, by which point he was a fighter ace with nine confirmed aerial victories. His obituary was front-page news throughout the state of Iowa.
This book is a biography of his extraordinary life, focusing on his time spent flying with some of the famous aerial groups of World War II. It draws heavily on Reed's own words, along with the author's deep knowledge of the China air war and years of research into Reed's life, to tell his compelling story.

The OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID) is the development finance institution established by the Member States of OPEC in 1976 as a channel of aid to the developing countries. OFID works in cooperation with developing country partners and the international donor community to stimulate economic growth and alleviate poverty in all disadvantaged regions of the world. It does this by providing financing to build essential infrastructure, strengthen social services delivery and promote productivity, competitiveness and trade. OFID's work is people-centered, focusing on projects that meet basic needs - such as food, energy, clean water and sanitation, healthcare and education – with the aim of encouraging self-reliance and inspiring hope for the future.
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is a CGIAR center focused on research for development to deliver new evidence-based approaches that address key water-related challenges. CGIAR is a global research partnership for a food-secure future. IWMI is the lead center for the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE).
International Development Enterprises (iDE) is a global effort that spans offices in 14 countries, encompassing 4 social enterprises, employing over 1,000 people directly, and indirectly enabling many more through our market-based approaches in agriculture; water, sanitation, and hygiene; and finance.
ICCO Cooperation is a global, non-governmental organization. ICCO gives people the opportunity to link up to viable and sustainable agribusiness value chains, acquire income and produce sufficient and quality food for a balanced diet. They connect organisations and investors, and develop skills to enhance farmers' livelihoods. They also support organisations that help farmers obtain land titles and work with private sector businesses that purchase produce, set quality standards and strengthen producer organisations.
ICCO applies and combines funding sources, different financing instruments and business entities from the ICCO Group. By doing so they accept a certain measure of risk-taking by combining grant based co-financing with non-grant based funding mechanisms like loans, equity and impact investments.
At present ICCO has country offices in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is a global partnership that helps developing countries better understand and reduce their vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change.
GFDRR is a grant-funding mechanism, managed by the World Bank, that supports disaster risk management projects worldwide.
Working on the ground with over 400 local, national, regional, and international partners, GFDRR provides knowledge, funding, and technical assistance.
Launched in 2010, the Global Agriculture & Food Security Program (GAFSP) represents a transformative approach to development aid that pools donor funds to make lasting improvements by supporting technically sound, country-led plans and sustainable, inclusive small- and medium-sized enterprises. The inaugural donors—Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Canada, the Republic of Korea, Spain, and the United States—were soon joined by Australia, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. GAFSP's donors work in partnership with recipients, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to improve the lives of smallholder farmers and their families. Millions of poor and vulnerable people around the world will directly benefit from GAFSP's continued commitment and support.
GAFSP projects are led by governments, private sector, and civil society organizations (CSOs). To ensure quality, GAFSP has partnered with the world's leading development institutions to enable access to their experience, capacity and quality, and to assist recipients in preparing, implementing and coordinating relevant and successful projects. GAFSP recipients determine which expert institution to work with.
GAFSP offers a range of public and private investment tools including grants, concessional loans, blended finance, technical assistance and advisory services. With a combination of public and private investments, GAFSP projects deliver strategic support to agricultural systems that expand the horizon of agricultural financing, increasing its reach and impact.
Since the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) was established in 2008, 14 donor countries have contributed over $8 billion in support of scaling up mitigation and adaptation action in developing and middle-income countries. These precious public resources are held in trust by the World Bank, and they are disbursed as grants, highly concessional loans, and risk mitigation instruments to recipient countries through multilateral development banks (MDBs).
The CIF is the only multilateral climate fund to work exclusively with MDBs as implementing agencies. This ensures due diligence and high standards, and the CIF benefits from the banks' ability to leverage financing, mobilize other actors, and harmonize policy support. The CIF, in turn, facilitates cooperation among MDBs, which benefits recipient countries, climate-friendly market growth, and the MDBs themselves.
Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) is able to provide support through its alliance organisations and procure the best services from around the world. They strive to deliver the highest quality technical advice, forge uniquely effective partnerships, and drive the latest and best thinking on climate compatible development.
Supporting climate negotiators from the least developed and most vulnerable countries.
The Climate and Development Knowledge Network was funded from March 2010 to March 2018 by the UK Department for International Development (DfID) and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS). As of March 2018, CDKN has received funding from 12 donors, including the Governments of Norway and Sweden, the US Department of State and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
CDKN's knowledge management work aims to: enhance the accessibility and relevance of knowledge on climate and development; maximise the uptake, application and impact of this knowledge to support climate-resilient, low-carbon development at scale; and enhance leadership and collaboration – help developing country actors to become more influential, informed champions of climate action.
CDKN works with the leaders and negotiators of developing countries to help them become better informed and more skilled at negotiating, as well as to become more active, networked and influential actors in the international climate change talks. Only once they have a strong voice and can exert their influence in the international negotiating arena will more robust, progressive and equitable outcomes be possible for all parties.
CDKN supports a wide range of demand-led, policy-relevant, applied research projects, led and implemented by a wide range of universities, private sector partners, NGOs and international agencies. CDKN looks for projects which not only demonstrate scientific excellence, but which also clearly respond to identified developing country needs and demand and promise high policy impact. CDKN values innovative, game-changing research within the context of climate compatible development.
In 2012, UN Environment and China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (China MEP) signed a framework agreement on strategic cooperation. Its overall objective was to strengthen mutual support and to build the capacity of developing countries to address environmental issues, sustainably develop their economies and increase awareness of environmental challenges.
The Biodiversity Partnership focused its resources on addressing the challenging issues surrounding the conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
The British American Tobacco Biodiversity Partnership (BATBP 2001-2015) closed in December 2015.

Obama's Boys of Summer
A Who's Who of 1968 radicals supports the candidate.
Backing a major-party candidate for president would have been anathema to Michael Klonsky 40 summers ago, when the organization he led, Students for a Democratic Society, urged young people to spurn elections. "By '68, our line was 'Vote in the Streets,'" Klonsky told me last spring. "We thought we had to fight with Eugene McCarthy and those people." In August 1968, protesters clashed with police outside the Democratic Party's national convention in Chicago—but far from being political innocents who took to the streets to protest Vietnam War hawks' capture of the Democratic presidential nomination, many of them never supported antiwar candidates McCarthy and Robert Kennedy. "Those of us who have been in the streets for the past five days didn't give a flying fuck whether McCarthy would win or lose," SDS declared in posters around Chicago, "and now that he's lost, still don't." On the eve of the general election of that year—in which less than 1 percentage point would separate the popular-vote totals of Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey—Klonsky's SDS bluntly proclaimed: "The elections don't mean shit."
Klonsky, whose disgust for mainstream politics led him to launch a new, Maoist Communist Party in the 1970s, today supports Barack Obama so enthusiastically that until recently he was blogging on the Illinois senator's campaign website. And boycotting this November's election, Klonsky maintains, would be a "tragic mistake." He notes that Barack Obama isn't Hubert Humphrey, 2008 isn't 1968, and the strong movement he served back then is "relatively weak" now. "My own support for Obama is not a reflection of a radically changed attitude toward the Democratic Party," Klonsky recently explained to me. "Rather, it's a recognition that the Obama campaign has become a rallying point for young activists and offers hope for rebuilding the civil rights and antiwar coalitions that have potential to become a real critical force in society."
Michael Klonsky is hardly the only '68 radical supporting Obama this year. In 1968, when Mark Rudd organized the student strike that shut down Columbia University, the SDS chapter that he chaired ridiculed Kennedy and McCarthy as "McKennedy," claimed that "neither peace candidate offers an alternative to the war policies of Lyndon Johnson," and suggested "sabotage" as an alternative to voting. Rudd succeeded Klonsky as national SDS leader, presiding over the organization's metamorphosis into Weatherman and performing "a liaison function" for the plot to bomb a Fort Dix soldiers' dance that instead killed three Weathermen, including two of Rudd's Columbia SDS colleagues. Today, Rudd renounces bombs, embraces ballots—and supports Obama. "Probably the biggest difference between Columbia SDS people in 1968 and in 2008 is forty years," Rudd explained in an e-mail. "Most of us have lived with compromise our whole lives. As kids we were raving idealists who thought that 'The elections don't mean shit' was a slogan that meant something to somebody. It didn't."
Then there's Carl Davidson, who was one of SDS's three elected national officers in 1968, when the organization first urged young people to refrain from voting. His disillusionment with traditional politics became so pronounced that, in the post-sixties hangover that followed, Davidson joined Klonsky in rejecting traditional politics for fringe Marxist movements. More recently, he helped organize the 2002 rally in which Obama first spoke out against the Iraq War and now serves as the webmaster of Progressives for Obama. "The last thing we need is a simple repeat of 1968, which saw Nixon and the new Right as an outcome, as well as the defeat of [Humphrey]," Davidson contends. "One thing I've learned. Social change is not made by elections, but it certainly proceeds through them, not by ignoring them or chasing the illusion of end runs around them."
Former SDS president Tom Hayden is also in the Obama camp. Hayden organized the made-for-TV protest outside the 1968 Chicago convention. But the catharsis of throwing debris at the Chicago police, the purer-than-thou sanctimony that tolerated no distinction between Lyndon Johnson and Eugene McCarthy, and the exhilaration of "voting in the streets" instead of in election booths combined to ensure liberal defeats. Hayden's orchestrated anarchy proved more damaging to Humphrey's presidential aspirations than any dirty trick Nixon's henchmen could have dreamed up. Klonsky remembers Hayden plotting to spread nails on a highway; another SDS leader recalls Hayden encouraging activists to firebomb police cars. If the Democrats couldn't run a convention, many Americans wondered, how could they run the country? "Did the radicalism of Chicago elect Richard Nixon?" Hayden asked, clearly pained, in his 1988 memoir. "Having struggled with that question for twenty years, I find there is no 'neat' answer."
Now Hayden is one of the organizers of Progressives for Obama. "The difference is that back then the Democratic Party was directly carrying out the Vietnam War, which meant there was no anti-war critic to vote for after Kennedy was assassinated and McCarthy defeated by the establishment," he offered in an e-mail last month. "Today the Republican Party is directly carrying out the war, which obviously will make a lot of people favor changing the presidency despite the uncertainty of what the Democratic candidate will do when in office."
Progressives for Obama resembles a Who's Who of SDS luminaries. In addition to Hayden, Rudd, and Davidson, the group includes Bob Pardun, SDS's education secretary during the 1966–67 school year; Paul Buhle, a radical professor who has recently attempted to revive SDS; Mickey and Dick Flacks, red-diaper babies who helped craft 1962's Port Huron Statement, a seminal New Left document; and SDS's third president, Todd Gitlin. Age and experience have mellowed some of the SDSers in Obama's camp. Gitlin, for instance, has evolved into a respected Ivy League professor and milquetoast liberal. But others still glory in a past that can only damage Obama's future. The aging New Left still practices a therapeutic politics that places a higher value on feelings of personal liberation than on restrained pursuit of political aims.
Obama has already taken political hits for his connection to Weathermen Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. In the sixties, Ayers advocated that young people kill their parents, and Dohrn praised the Charles Manson murders. Alongside their Weather Underground cohorts, the pair declared war on the United States and participated in a bombing campaign that hit the Capitol, the Pentagon, and numerous law enforcement agencies. The couple eventually reinvented themselves—first as academics, then as players in Chicago-area Democratic politics. Obama praised Ayers's book in the Chicago Tribune, sat with him on a foundation's board, and benefited from a fundraiser held at the couple's home. Ayers spoke at events organized by Michelle Obama; Barack Obama spoke at events organized by Ayers.
With the public revelation of this unseemly relationship—between unrepentant terrorists and the man who now seeks to oversee America's war on terror—and the impact it's already had on voter attitudes, one would think that other sixties extremists might be more reserved in proclaiming their support for Obama, knowing the damage such associations can do to his candidacy. As for Obama, he'll need to do some distancing of his own. He protested that he was only eight when Ayers, Dohrn, Rudd, and company embarked on their bombing campaign, and that's reasonable enough. But he'll need to go further.
Fortunately for him, the Left has a long history of cold-shouldering predecessors to perpetuate its ideology, cleanse it from past failures, and make it appear fresh. The New Left dissociated itself from the Old Left's Russophilic dogmatism through the Port Huron Statement and other declarations of independence. Even the phrase "New Left" was adopted to divorce the Left from its history.
SDS's history offers a template for eliminating the embarrassing past. Jack London, Upton Sinclair, and others founded the Intercollegiate Socialist Society (ISS) during the Progressive era, but by World War I the word "socialist" had fallen from favor. So, with the Left seeing labor unions as the agent of societal change, the ISS became the League for Industrial Democracy (LID). Then, by the end of the 1950s, theorists Herbert Marcuse, C. Wright Mills, and Norman O. Brown scoffed at the idea of blue-collar workers—often violently hostile to the Left's aims—as transformative agents, and the LID's student arm, the Student League for Industrial Democracy (SLID), rechristened itself Students for a Democratic Society. Just as SDS killed SLID as the fifties became the sixties, Weatherman killed SDS as the sixties became the seventies: SDS's spirit of "participatory democracy" could not peacefully coexist with the vanguardism of Weatherman. And now, completing the circle, the SDS alumni of "progressives" for Obama resurrect a term that would have been more familiar to their distant forebears in the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. On the Left, everything old is eventually new again.
In 1968, the Left served as unwitting allies of Republicans, costing the Democrats the White House by rioting at their convention and withholding votes from Hubert Humphrey. In 2008, it is their vocal support that may cost Barack Obama the presidency. Obama can take a page from the early days of the New Left, which—initially, at least—refused to allow discredited radicals to discredit it. Either Obama publicly divorces himself from radical supporters whose association does more for them than it does for him, or he faces the prospect of Bill Ayers as his Willie Horton.

Sec of State candidate starts 5,000 mile campaign bike ride in Martinez
By adminPosted on July 11, 2018 July 15, 2018
MARTINEZ, Calif. – Mark Meuser, who is challenging incumbent Alex Padilla for California secretary of state this November, launched a 5,000 mile campaign bicycle ride Monday from Martinez's Waterfront Park.
He plans to bicycle through all 58 of the state's counties, meeting residents and encouraging them to vote in the fall general election.
Since the Office of Secretary of State is California's top elections office, getting people to the polls is his goal. And he believes the office should do more not only to encourage people to vote but also to clarify voting procedures.
He said California has the second worse elections, and the state has been in Pew's lower index for the past several elections. And Pew noted that United States voter turnout is poor when compared to other developed countries 26th out of 32 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) that is made up mostly of developed and democratic nations.
Although Meuser is a Republican, he said Monday he is speaking to every voter, whether that person identifies with Bernie Sanders, the Tea Party Patriots or any political position in between, when he says elections matter.
"Too many believe their votes don't matter," he said.
Too many people of various political persuasions believe there is interference by "big business" or other problems during elections, he said. And he agreed there is an integrity problem with California elections. "You are right."
Meuser said he wants to clean the election rolls and make sure proper procedures are in place so elections are fair and honest and votes are secure.
"The process should be as seamless as possible," he said.
Meuser said he originally had planned his bike ride earlier in the year, during cooler temperatures.
"I decided to shift this to July and August," he said. He expects the ride to take 46 days, although roadwork and fires may impact his schedule. A recreational vehicle will accompany him on the ride, but Meuser promised he wouldn't be riding in the van.
He said California is issue-oriented, which may work to improve turnout in November, especially since Proposition 6 will let voters decide whether to keep or repeal the Road Repair and Accountability Act. That is sometimes called "the gas tax," although in addition to increasing gasoline taxes, it raised taxes on diesel fuel and vehicle registration fees, including those for electric cars.
He is not a political newcomer. In 2012, he progressed to the general election for the California Senate District 7, but was defeated by Mark DeSaulnier, who now is the District 11 U.S. Representative, with a part of Martinez in that district.
Meuser considers himself an outdoorsman, and became interested in the Ironman cvompetitions.
After the 2014 Ironman Tahoe was canceled because of fires, he was severely injured as he rode his bicycle back to his car. He entered the contest in 2015, only to learn he was allergic to his latex wetsuit.
Three months later, he competed in the Cozumel Ironman contest, completing it in 12 hours 45 minutes.
He also hikes, dives and snow skis, and has listed his favorite bike ride so far is a five-day trip on the Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to Orange County.
Meuser said he's been studying elections, and has noticed how many are won by fewer than 10 votes. People need to see how important their participation is, he said.
On the other hand, especially as election procedures change, the state's top election official needs to be proactive about explaining those changes so the public understands them. "Provisional ballots make people mad," he said. Occasionally, he's had to cast provisional ballots, and that upset him, too.
The trend toward electronic voting or exclusively vote by mail elections aren't bad, and they don't mean a person's ballot is less secure than if it were cast the traditional way, at a poll site on election day.
"Voters want to know their vote is secure, whatever system is used. They want to understand the process and their votes are counted. We've got to work on that," he said.

Q: How can I make this filter in my code work? I've been trying to figure out how to make this filter work in my code, where if the user clicks a category button, only the boxes associated with that word would display.
It would work if there's no  tags surrounding the block where the buttons are at in the html file, but once I put div tags around those block of button tags to style it, the filter stops working.
I need to be able to style the buttons and put it those div tags. Is there a way to make this filter work in the non-working html code while keeping the form and filters/product div tags around the block of buttons?
Also, I'm only allowed to use CSS and HTML, (NO JAVASCRIPT)
So here's the block of code in question:

        <form action="" class="forms">

Filters

          <button class="filter-btn" data-filter="warm" tabindex="-1">Warm Blooded</button>
          <button class="filter-btn" data-filter="cold" tabindex="-1">Cold Blooded</button>
          <button class="filter-btn" data-filter="toxic" tabindex="-1">Toxic</button>
          <button class="filter-btn" data-filter="*" tabindex="-1">All</button>
        </form>

How can I make this filter work while still being in the div tags?
Below are two versions of the full running code as reference if needed.

Thanks, help is greatly appreciated.

A: The reason it's not working in your second block is that your CSS is relying on the ~ 'general sibling' selector, which requires the two elements in question to have the same parent. To my knowledge, there is no CSS selector which lets you say "apply a style to this element if this unrelated element has focus".
I would use Javascript to accomplish this kind of dynamic behaviour.

When $n=1$ $S_1$ consider that in a Poisson process, if events occur on average $\lambda t$ occurrences per $t$ units of time. The Poisson distribution describing this process is therefore:
$$P(S_1 \le t)=\frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^1 }{1!}=e^{-\lambda t}\lambda t $$
To do the induction step suppose that the formula is true for n.
$$
P(S_n \le t)=\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^k }{k!},    t\ge 0.
$$
So for $n+1$:
$$
P(S_{n+1}<t_2)=P(S_{n}+X_{n+1}<t_2)=P(S_n<t)P(X_{n+1}<t_2-t)
$$
$$
P(S_n<T)P(X_{n+1}<t_2-t)=\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^k }{k!}*\frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^{n+1} }{(n+1)!}
$$
$$
\sum_{k=n+1}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-\lambda (t+t_2-t)}(\lambda  (t+t_2-t))^k }{k!}=\sum_{k=n+1}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-\lambda t_2}(\lambda t_2)^k }{k!}
$$
which completes the proof.

A: Based on Poisson process theory, the correct expression for $P[S_n \leq t]$ should be given by:
$$P[S_n \leq t] = P[N(t) \geq n] = \sum_{k = n}^\infty e^{-\lambda t} \frac{(\lambda t)^k}{k!}.$$
So maybe what you tried to express is that
$$P[S_n \color{red}{>} t] = 1 - P[S_n \leq t] = \sum_{k = 0}^{n - 1} e^{-\lambda t} \frac{(\lambda t)^k}{k!}.$$


In its latest issue, Blockchain research startup Diar examined how Bitcoin fees correlate to different parts of the day. It turns out that those who perform Bitcoin transactions at 1 PM UTC have to shell out a substantially higher fee than those users who want their payments confirmed in the morning or at night.
As the graph shows, those who send BTC at night have to pay 15,000 satoshis less, but getting your transaction confirmed at 1 PM will result in a much higher fee — almost 30,000 satoshis. Since EST and CST are five and six hours behind UTC respectively, it's the best bet for Americans to avoid making Bitcoin transactions early in the morning. Meanwhile, Japanese Bitcoin owners will have to pay much more at 10 PM.
As U.Today revealed earlier, all unconfirmed transactions go to a memory pool (mempool) where they remain in limbo before being validated by miners. Miners are obviously incentivized to pick transactions with the highest fees. During the peak of the crypto craze, more than 200,000 transactions were stuck in the mempool, and the fees went through the roof. However, the Diar report also shows that Bitcoin fees dropped to their lowest level in 4 years despite the current transaction count nearly matching the bull market peak.

Home › Silver Marine Corps Rings
Silver Marine Corps Rings that are ready for engraving and customization. Rings are available in premium silver and valadium. The U.S. Marine Corps is a relatively small but highly elite group of men and women who protect our freedom and defend our allies throughout the world. Originally they were infantry troops that were stationed aboard naval vessels. Currently the Marine Corps is one of the world's most feared amphibious and ground assault forces. The history of the Marines is long and distinguished. Their assault on the island of Iwo Jima during World War II constitutes one of the most inspiring battles ever seen by man. But Iwo Jima isn't the only bloody battle Marines have ever seen – they've been in the forefront of almost every American battle since the country was born.
Marines are the Few, the Proud and the Brave.
Few, because Marines are elite soldiers and the standards of the Corps are high: it can be more difficult to become a Marine than it is to join some of the other branches of the armed forces. Proud, because of their fearless courage, selfless sacrifice and relentless sense of honor. And Brave, because Marines often are the first to arrive on enemy beachheads leading the way for other troops that are invading hostile shores.
Custom Silver Marine Corps rings
Silver Marine Corps Rings perfectly symbolizes everything that Marines stand for: physical strength, strong will, commitment to country and comrades, a storied past and a superbly effective present. Strength of purpose and a willingness to make sacrifices when necessary. But above all, Marine jewelry symbolizes the honor of the Corps.
Past and present Marines deserve recognition for all that they do and have done in the past. Marines are a proud group, so there's no better way to thank them than by giving them Marine jewelry.
And many Marines buy Marine jewelry to display their affiliation and to remember their experiences. This jewelry is both beautiful, memorable, and a powerful symbol of a Marine's dedication and honor. Marine rings, cuff links, tie tacks, watches, lapel pins and other pieces of Marine jewelry are available online. Many pieces can be personalized with a Marine's name or initials.
Silver Marine Corps Rings indicates service in the Marine Corps in general, without going into any detail. These pieces of Marine jewelry usually feature the famous Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem of the Marine Corps.
Marine Deployment Jewelry
Other Marine jewelry is designed to show service in a particular task force or other unit, or service during a specific war or military engagement such as the Persian Gulf, Vietnam, the Korean Conflict or World War II.
Still other pieces incorporate the design of a combat medal or other decoration that's been awarded to the Marine. Some Marine jewelry is even designed for ex-prisoners of war. Marines are few in number: not everyone can make the cut. But Marines make up for their lack of numbers with their renowned courage and dedication. They've made us proud with their service, and they've defended us against all enemies. We can thank them with a beautiful Silver Marine Corps Ring

Hands On: Outward
Hearts of Iron IV: La Résistance Review
La Résistance is an overpriced package of underwhelming mechanics and bloated focus trees. You'd do best to avoid this expansion until it goes on sale.
Total War: Three Kingdoms: Mandate of Heaven Review
Ultimately, Mandate of Heaven is more Total War goodness. If you enjoyed the base game, the added elements provided in this DLC are enough reason to pick it up and play again.
Total War: THREE KINGDOMS Review
The Total War series finally takes on land wars in Asia with this latest installment, bringing its signature RTS/TBS hybrid gameplay to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Series veterans will find a lot to love about this new iteration, and fans of the source material will find this a great jumping on point.
Endless Space 2 Vaulters Expansion Announced
Every year Amplitude celebrate the studio's anniversary with their players. For our seventh year of existence we're going BIG, kicking off with the reveal of the Vaulters Expansion for Endless Space 2!
Total War™: Three Kingdoms Announced
SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced the new historical strategy game Total War™: Three Kingdoms, the next major historical title in the Total War™ strategy series from Creative Assembly™, and the first to explore ancient China, will launch in Fall 2018.
Medieval Kingdom Wars Early Access
Medieval Kingdom Wars is a live action RTS with a heavy emphasis on siege battles. Despite added features it feels like a reskinned Medieval Total War 2, although the developers promise a new look at the RTS genre. In their defense, they have been great at updating Medieval Kingdom Wars and incorporating player suggestions, so it's worth keeping an eye on as it continues through early access before its full release in mid 2018.
Total War: ROME II - Empire Divided Review
The Rome II: Empire Divided DLC is the standard Total War that we all know and love. There are no huge surprises and for the most part, mechanics added do a good job at immersing you into the Third Century and a Roman Empire fallen into chaos. Banditry isn't all that noteworthy but Cults are fun and thematic. In sum, if you can't get enough of Total War give this one a try.
Total War: WARHAMMER II Review
Total War: Warhammer 2 is one of the greatest real-time strategy games made to this date. And this is entirely because of the rock-solid and fully-earned reputation that Creative Assembly has built for itself over seventeen years and over fifteen Total War real-time strategy combat games. If you care about strategy, this isn't just a game, it is the game.
Oriental Empires: Interview with Bob Smith
Shining Pixel Studios released Oriental Empires on September 14. The action is set in ancient China, where warring factions fight for supremacy over what is to become a tremendous empire. While at first sight, Oriental Empires appears like other 4X games, with a campaign map, factions, and armies engaging in battle, there are key differences. The battles are not being decided on a tactical map anymore, but take place on the campaign map in real-time.
Oriental Empires Review
Oriental Empires shall surely frustrate some players, though that really boils down to his or her shortcomings, not the any of the title. You shouldn't be upset about historical accuracy: plagues happened, bandits are terrible, and — who would have thought — peasants hate building things for their oppressive overlords because they'd rather be with their families. Sitting down and learning how to be a sovereign to the people and not just field marshal to armies will open players up to a superb experience in the genre. The foundations of other efforts in the genre may show, but ultimately, Oriental Empires builds upon them anew, just like real life.
4X Strategy Oriental Empires Leaves Early Access
Publisher Iceberg Interactive announces the full release of their turn-based grand strategy title Oriental Empires. The game launched, having spent a year in Steam's Early Access program.
Total War: WARHAMMER - Norsca Review
Yet another in an already long line of excellent pieces of DLC for what has shaped up to be a living classic in the realm of PC games. If you like the game, you'll almost definitely like this, because who doesn't want to wear a bunch of skulls like you shop at some kind of Tiffany in hell and, maybe more importantly, who doesn't want to hang out with a bunch of dragons and war mammoths, slaughtering enemy after enemy with nary a thought of going home? Just me? Didn't think so.
Total War Warhammer II: The High Elves
This new gameplay video from Creative Assembly shows the High Elves in the player's hands, defending against a bellowing host of Lizardmen warriors led by Mazdamundi himself, and reveals spectacular new units in action.
Europa Universalis IV: Mandate of Heaven Review
With Mandate of Heaven, Paradox Interactive has proven once more that they consistently deliver expansions which incorporate suggestions from players and satisfy their gamership's desire for new, immersive content -- once a newcomer overcomes the steep learning curve. Additionally, the downloadable content offers improved features for the game interface and new concepts in gameplay, contributing to a deep, involving, and rewarding experience.
Total War: Warhammer II Announced
SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced the next game in the best-selling Total War: WARHAMMER trilogy. Total War: WARHAMMER II will be the second release in an ongoing partnership between globally-acclaimed developer Creative Assembly™ and Games Workshop®, creators of the world-renowned Warhammer® Fantasy Battles tabletop wargame and miniatures.
Northgard Early Access Review
For what Northgard sets out to do, it does well, and with the content that is soon to come, the title is promising and worth getting at its price point, especially for those who enjoy empire-building titles. One may, however, be dismayed by the fact that there are not that many buildings to construct (there is a lack of a stable, for instance), but given the relatively quick gameplay, this may not be entirely necessary.
Realpolitiks Review
With so many strategy games to choose from, Realpolitiks ultimately fails to stand out. While its variety in features and missions is welcomed, it also forces errands few will enjoy; they make it difficult to stay in control, these arbitrary tasks impeding if not outright discarding a player's grand approach.
Agenda Review
Agenda is polished, visually appealing, well presented, and the soundtrack has a lovely, understated James Bond feel to it. If you're looking for a sophisticated game that allows you to gradually take over the world, this one would make for a worthy addition to your Steam library.
Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire Review
Worth your money. If you enjoy turn-based strategy games, science-fiction fantasy, and twisting stories hinting on a Historical epoch spanning the stars that your grandparents dimly remember at the corner of their brains, then get your digits around this one. You won't regret it.
Zombie City Defense 2 Review
Zombie City Defense 2 does a lot of things but doesn't quite know what it wants to be. It seems trapped between strategy and tower defense, and while a combination of the two sounds enticing, it just doesn't have the dexterity to do both at the moment. It's a fun concept when things make sense, but for now, it's still prone to bursts of enjoyment against waves of frustration.

Marilyn Monroe in Bikini – Body, Height, Weight, Nationality, Net Worth, and More
January 8, 2022 Celebs in Bikinis
Norma Jeane Mortenson, popularly called Marilyn Monroe, was an American actress, singer, and model. She has appeared in several movies, including All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Don't Bother to Knock, The Misfits, The Seven Year Itch, and How to Marry a Millionaire.
Here is a short summary of Marilyn Monroe's career:
Marilyn Monroe met photographer David Conover in 1944. She started modeling for him and his friends. By 1946, she had appeared on 33 magazine covers, including Pageant, Peek, and Laff. She signed a standard six-month contract with 20th Century Fox.
Marilyn Monroe married James Dougherty in 1942. The couple divorced in 1946. She then married Joe DiMaggio in 1954, and they divorced in 1955. The following year, she married Arthur Miller, but they divorced five years later.
Arthur Miller (m. 1956–1961), Joe DiMaggio (m. 1954–1955), James Dougherty (m. 1942–1946)
Marilyn Monroe - Bikini Photos
Wow: Marilyn Monroe showcases her lovely bikini body
Norma Jeane Mortenson
Actress, Model, Singer
Marilyn Monroe's height is pretty average measuring 1.66 m. The actress weighs 54 kg. Being born on June 1, 1926, translates to an age of 96 years as of todays date (January 30, 2023).
I restore myself when I'm alone.
If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.
I never wanted to be Marilyn – it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo.
Sometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they'll say, 'Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?' And they'll start tailing me. And I don't mind.

Iron, Fe, atomic number 26. Melting point 1811K. Iron is one of the most abundant heavier elements in the galaxy, primarily due to the formation through fusion in massive stars of nickel-56, which decays into an iron isotope. Although it isn't used as much in modern metals it still has many uses in chemical production. It's also an important element in medical molecular engineering applications.

Direct connections from Pesaro Urbino
About Pesaro Urbino
Sea, mountains, music and majolica tiles: the splendor of nature and history unite the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, the so-called Riviera delle Colline or "Riviera of Hills."
This vast expanse of central Italy ranges from the Apennine Foothills to the Adriatic Sea. The landscape is kaleidoscopic, composed mainly of hills and highlands.
The area is a popular destination for tourists seeking a variety experiences. Geology has truly worked its wonders here, rendering the Province especially charming and unique. Pesaro is bathed by the Adriatic Sea on one side – making it a favorite beach destination – and hugged by the hills to both the city's north (San Bartolo, also a nature reserve) and south (Ardizio, dividing Pesaro from Fano), allowing for a mild climate year-round.
A visit to this area becomes a discovery of the relationship between city and sea, between the agricultural and the urban, between coast and rolling hills. In short, it is an area to explore and admire for its unusual beauty.
Numerous itineraries make it easy to enjoy the many splendors of the Province of Pesaro. Beginning in Pesaro itself, highly-recommended is a visit to the Ceramics Museum, Italy's most important, and decorated with items from the best pottery workshops of the Renaissance age. Indeed, a majolica industry of exceptional importance flourished in Pesaro between the 14th and 17th Centuries, and in a style of decoration inspired by Raphael during the 16th Century.
Pesaro offers many sightseeing opportunities, starting with the streets around Piazza del Popolo and the Palazzo Ducale and moving to the Civic Museums (includes the Ceramics Museum) and the Pinacoteca or Painting Gallery, with works by Giovanni Bellini, Vitale da Bologna and Guido Reni. On the opposite side of the Civic Museum is the Oliverian Archeological Museum, with valuable artworks exhibited in the 17th-Century halls of Palazzo Americi.
The Rocca Costanza and its cylindrical towers, built by Luciano Laurana for Costanzo Sforza (1474-87), comprise a prime example of 15th-Century architecture. Pesaro is also the birthplace of composer Gioacchino Rossini, whose house-museum is open to visitors. Every year, the conservatory and theatre, both named after him, host the Rossini Opera Festival, drawing enthusiasts from around the world.
Moving on to Urbino, be sure to see one of the most evocative sites here: the Fonte Avellana Hermitage and the Romanesque-Gothic Church, mentioned by Dante in the 21st Canto of his Paradiso. Visitors to Urbino will find its grandeur particularly captivating. Surrounded by 16th-Century walls built by the Montefeltro family, first is the Ducal Palace, with its winged façade that opens itself out to the city. The Palace is a symbol of a new, more humanistic architecture, where the geometric rigor of proportion dominates. The 'Staircase of Honor,' decorated by Ambrogio Barocci, conducts visitors into the National Gallery of The Marches, a Palace museum with invaluable artworks. In Duke Federico's apartment reside two masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, The Flagellation and The Madonna of Senigallia, while in the Duchess's apartment are Rafphael's Portrait of a Young Woman (La Muta), Bramantino's The Blessing Christ, along with Titian's The Last Supper and The Resurrection, to name but a few. Finally, the Cathedral and Diocesan Museum, reconstructed in the neoclassical style after the 1789 earthquake. From there, walk along Via Raffaello to arrive at Raphael Sanzio's birthplace, still exhibiting engravings and reproductions of his masterpieces. Urbino's extraordinary Renaissance art and architecture, which blend superbly with its Medieval past, so much so that Urbino is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Finally, visit the Ducal Palace, Sant'Angelo in Vado and the Mercatello sul Metàuro.

House committee approves bill shifting costs to move utility lines for infrastructure projects
Headlines Influence
Online sales tax collection goes to Senate committee
Phil Ammann
The House Appropriations Committee Wednesday approved a bill seeking to shift the cost of relocating utility lines for infrastructure improvements from utilities to public entities. In some cases, the costs would be absorbed by the Florida Department of Transportation.
According to LobbyTools, HB 461, filed by Pensacola Republican Rep. Clay Ingram, came after an opinion by the 2nd District Court of Appeals which said under common law, utilities located on public easements must pay for relocating equipment to accommodate roads and other infrastructure projects.
Florida League of Cities representative Megan Sirjane-Samples told the committee that her organization's opposition to the bill was because of the possibility that municipalities would be forced to raise property taxes to deal with "unfunded mandates."
"If the 2nd DCA court ruling went too far in local government's favor," she said, "we feel this bill goes too far in the public utility provider's favor."
Sirjane-Samples did agree that it would be satisfactory for an amendment to include language allowing local governments the flexibility to craft individual agreements with public utilities.
LobbyTools reports that AT&T lobbyist Tracy Hatch testified the law was correcting a ruling that "has cast a pall upon private property."
The proposal passed by a 19-1 vote, with the only opponent being West Palm Beach Democrat Rep. Mark Pafford. Its next stop is the House floor.
A Senate companion measure, SB 416, filed by Miami Republican Sen. Anitere Flores, was also read on the Senate floor and is set up for final passage by the full Senate.

DUI charges aren't limited to claims that motorists are driving while impaired by alcohol. Motorists can also be arrested for driving while under the influence of drugs, and the state's ability to charge you. Not only can you be charged with driving while impaired on drugs or medication, the simple act of driving with a controlled substance in your system is a separate DUI charge.
Arizona Revised Statute § 28-1381(a)(1) makes it illegal to operate a motor vehicle if you are impaired by any drug in your system – prescription, illegal, or otherwise. Arizona Revised Statute § 28-1381(a)(3) makes it a crime to drive with a controlled substance in your system and puts the burden on you to show that the drug was being used as prescribed. DUIs based on marijuana use are a hotly debated topic, and the evidence allowed varies from courtroom to courtroom, as it is illegal for a licensed doctor to prescribe marijuana under federal law – instead, people who qualify are able to receive a medical marijuana card based on a "recommendation" from a qualifying medical professional.
Nesci & St. Louis, PLLC is the premier DUI law firm in Arizona. Our attorneys commit our more than 80 years of combined experience in protecting the rights of individuals charged with DUIs throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona. We defend our clients' cases strategically when defending DUIs involving illicit drugs or legal medications.
What Can Lead to a DUI of Drugs Charge?
You are probably already familiar with the basics of Arizona's laws regarding DUIs based on the consumption of alcohol. You are considered to be impaired if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08 percent or higher. You can still be charged with a DUI with a lower BAC, however. You might also be charged with DUI based on of drugs that can be detected in a blood or urine testing.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications — Such as cold medicines, cough medicines, allergy medications, and OTC sleep aids.
Prescription Pharmaceuticals — Including prescription pain medications (analgesics), antidepressants, antihistamines, anxiolytics, attention disorder/ADD medications, cough suppressants, muscle relaxants, and sedatives.
Illegal Drugs — Including marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, LSD, MDMA, peyote, and PCP.
If you are found in possession of an illegal drug or a prescription medication that was not lawfully prescribed to you, then you could face a companion charge of drug possession, in addition to a DUI charge.
As with an alcohol-related DUI conviction, being convicted of a DUI involving drugs typically triggers increased insurance premiums. Under the zero tolerance laws of Arizona, drivers who are underage may endure longer driver license suspensions for DUI with trace amounts of a drug in your system.
Consult with our DUI defense lawyer in Tucson, AZ about your prescription drug arrest. Call Nesci & St. Louis, PLLC today at (520) 999-2441 or contact us online to schedule your free initial consultation.
