Furniture Related Accidents Such as Television and Appliance Tipovers - CED Technologies, Inc.
>If you look up "chair prank" on YouTube, you will find a plethora of videos detailing various chair antics and their victims. Although these videos can be very amusing, the reality of some accidents involving furniture is not.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that between years 2000 and 2006, there were at least 180 deaths related to furniture, television or appliances tip-overs. Most of these deaths, 80 percent of these fatalities, involved curious climbers younger than 10. Danger in the form of top heavy furniture is not often readily recognized. Manufacturers should clearly warn against this potential hazard and users should avoid altering the center of gravity when fitting the product to their needs.
Furniture can do more than fall or allow objects to fall on you. It can fail from below as well. Poorly designed, manufactured or assembled furniture can be a hazard. Furniture used for something other than its intended purpose (i.e. using a nightstand as a step ladder) can collapse and cause serious injury to the improvising party. As time goes by, maintenance takes on a greater role and the responsibility slowly shifts from the manufacturer/distributor to the owner/provider.
Some companies attempt to lower costs by transferring assembly labor to the end user (i.e. some assembly required). This allows for a smaller inventory footprint and more compact shipping as a disassembled product can be more easily fitted into a smaller container. Assuming well written assembly instructions are provided by the manufacturer, this allows part of the liability risk to be transferred to the user as well.

Then, if these same authors decide to self-publish, they'll quickly get lost in the morass of print on demand publishers and the time and money sink hole of self-publishing. In fact, most authors would rather die than think about book marketing, or spend money on book design.
I'd estimate that number to be much higher, as many small publishers are having their books printed by Lightning Source, which also provides printing for many of the larger POD companies.
Additionally, Lulu Press, who publishes over 1500 books per week, says that only about 5% of their books get an ISBN number. That's another 80,000 or so books circulating in the market each year, although most of Lulu's books are only sold through Lulu Press on their web site.
It only takes 300 book sales to get on Lulu's all-time top 100 bestsellers list. 300 books! For some people, that can be attained simply by selling books to their extended family. While AuthorHouse, iUniverse, Xlibris, and other big players in the POD market might print more books with ISBN numbers, their sales records aren't much better.
Some sources estimate that the average book sells no more than 150 copies, and other sources put that number at below fifty copies. In many cases, authors end up losing money on their books, which is why Lulu Press is so popular. At Lulu, you can upload your book interior and cover (you do all the design work), and have a book on your doorstep within days – all for the "cost of printing" (which is highly inflated, by the way).
The services and prices of POD companies vary widely, which is why we're in the final stages of creating a comprehensive guide on self-publishing. It can be a confusing morass of information and data, with many unsubstantiated claims. The truth shall be revealed.
1. Write a great book that's got an audience.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is to assume that people will read their book just because it's "good." People will read a book if it is either applicable to their lives (non-fiction), or if it really is a damned good book (fiction). Even then, you'll have to market your book. "How to sell a book" or "How to market a book" are two of the top questions we get, and search engine analysis shows that these are frequent search terms. If you haven't written your book with an audience in mind, then you're down to three legs on your four-legged marketing stool.
The second leg of book marketing is the interior and exterior design of the book. People do judge a book by its cover, so if you're not spending some money on getting an outstanding cover, you're losing sales. Then, people will open the book and read the intro or first few pages. Is it well-written? Easy to read? Is the interior book design clean, consistent, and well-implemented. I've seen many POD books in which the margins were too small, the fonts poorly chosen, and the images fuzzy. Who's going to buy a book like that?
There are many great book cover designers. Then for editing, contact Charity at Mighty Pen Editing for your editing needs. Don't scrimp on the editing because you WILL make mistakes (trust me on this – there are probably a few in this article).
Lulu Press is great if you just want to print a few books for your friends, or create a low-cost galley to send to editors, agents, or distributors. You'll often be asked to send a "galley" of your book, which is simply a printed copy of your book with a blank cover. Lulu Press is great for creating galleys at minimal cost.
As we'll show you in our upcoming comprehensive guide to self-publishing, which POD company you choose depends on your intentions and desires. If you want to have your book professionally edited and the cover professionally designed by your publisher (instead of outsourcing to some unknown person), then companies like Cold Tree Press might be a good choice. Other companies offer a varied level of marketing packages. Personally, I'd rather stay away from having these publishers market my book, and instead go to a good book marketing expert or media specialist.
4. Take a "no holds barred" approach to book marketing.
If your book is your life, or is a major part of your business marketing plan, then spend some money on publicity and book marketing. Too many people, especially business people, write a book, put a page up on their web site (and on Amazon), and hope that they'll get some sales. Your book is like a 250 page business card, and it should be used accordingly.
These claims often include car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, and assault. They can also be filed when a consumer product is defective and causes physical injury. In a personal injury claim, a person can seek monetary damages based on the extent of the injury, whether it be physical, emotional or both. Accident claim lawyer Singapore also cover other items such as loss of wages or loss of work due to the injury.
Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes and electric cigarettes) are the newest product on the market. They are designed to look and feel like real cigarettes, even down to emitting artificial smoke however they do not actually contain any tobacco. Users inhale nicotine vapor which looks like smoke without any of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke which are harmful to the smoker and others around him. you can learn more on our website here.
The Electronic cigarette consists of a nicotine cartridge containing liquid nicotine. When a user inhales, a tiny battery powered atomizer turns a small amount of liquid nicotine into vapor. Inhaling nicotine vapor gives the user a nicotine hit in seconds rather than minutes with patches or gum. When the user inhales, a small LED light at the tip of the electronic cigarette glows orange to simulate a real cigarette.
The nicotine cartridges themselves come in various strengths. Most of the major brands, such as the Gamucci electronic cigarette have full strength, half strength and minimal strength. This is designed for people who want to quit smoking. As they get used to using the electronic cigarette, they can gradually reduce the strength they use until they quit.
The main advantages electronic cigarettes have over nicotine patches or gum is firstly, users have the nicotine hit much quicker and secondly, because a big reason why smokers fail to quit suing patches and gum is because they still miss the act of inhaling smoke from a cylindrical object. The electronic cigarette emulates that even down to the smoke.
The electronic cigarette is also beneficial from a financial perspective. A set of five nicotine cartridges costs around £8 and is equivalent to 500 cigarettes. Although the initial investment of an electronic cigarette kit of £50 may seem steep at first, users save money in the long run.
In 1964, The 12 Inch GI Joe was created by Hasbro which did the launch of the product. Then in 1965 a black GI Joe figure was introduced in the select markets across the world. Stan Weston was the original creator of this action figure as he was an opportunity for success after the Barbie doll was released some time before that. you can read a full review of black major cobra troopers here.
Beginning in 1977, the 12 Inch GI Joe was then scaled down to 8 and a half inches. By then the Super Joe was released that would be the battle between good and evil to the stars. This figure did not last very long at all. In fact it ended only a year later in 1978.
Looking back at the history of the GI Joes, there have been a lot of modifications and different figures that have come out of the GI Joe family. Just last year in 2007, it marked the 25th anniversary of the "Real American Hero" line. Hasbro released a new sculpted 3 and ¾' figure based on the best known figures. There were improvements done to the wrist and joints for better moving parts.
Finally, the Sigma 6 was introduced from 2005 to 2007 which was scaled down to 8 inches in size. This was a totally new character to the GI Joe family and even had a television series released produced by a Japan animation studio.
The 12 inch GI Joe has definitely been a sought action figure because it is no longer being made and was retired many years ago. If you do own this action figure, it may be worth some money depending on the type of condition that it is in.
Do we need translation services in the public sector? When you look at the public sector in different countries, what can prompt them to agitate for translation services?
As we talk about a Global translation provider London, we mean translating documents from one language to another, might be from English to German or German to English, but not limited to these two languages.
Public places are always bombarded by people who speak different languages seeking for help, so how do they understand each other? Basically, translation and interpretation are the best choices in this place.
This is part of the economy controlled by the government in any country and plays a role in delivering social services to the communities. We can talk of places like government hospitals, public schools, police, army, local government and etc.
Currently, the United States public sector increased the procurement of translation services to help people who are non-English speakers, these people need government services like health care, education, legal aid, and public protection. To ease communication, translation is proved to work better.
The governments in different countries can procure translation and interpretation services from professional translation agencies with professional translators and interpreters working in their own native languages.
How translation services helpful to the public sector?
Not only the public sector that requires translation services, different business entities, private organizations and individual business dealings all over the world today need translations so as to run their activities smoothly.
Government hospitals as part of the public sector require translation services, why? With medical related issues, it's all about dealing with the lives and the health of people. This requires clear communication between the doctor and the patient. A medical interpreter will help the patient to explain the problem fully to the doctor as well as making sure that the doctor understands the patient's problem. As I said earlier that in public places like medical centers, health care units, people of different tribes, different language speakers visit these them looking for medical care, translation services will, therefore, be helpful.
On the side of security providers like police and army, translation services will make police play their role smoothly in maintaining the law and order, translation agencies have translators and interpreters in all different fields, police will be provided with police translators and interpreters if required and will expertly do their work by conveying the message to the public in different languages. For those who cannot read police and army published documents in the source language provided, their respective translators and interpreters are available to provide translations interpreting services.
In Marc Jones article in 7th/01/2016, says in 2012 and 2013, the Lincolnshire police spent £373,958 for translation services for more than 30 languages. This comes to my observation that translation is a vital activity everywhere in the world, it, therefore, helps the police to have a clear communication with people.
Legal aid access needs translation services. There are people who may not afford and need legal representation in courts of law, basing on the fact that someone is a non-English speaker a language which is commonly used in various offices, legal aid translation and interpretation is necessary.
Under public education sector, we find that translation services play a vital role in fostering communication between students who are non-English speakers and teachers. Public education will need translators and interpreters to help learners to access education services in a language they understand. It will be discriminating if education services are offered in one language which some people can't understand and it will show that the government ignores foreign native speakers to attend classes in her country.
Being involved is something that no one can avoid but hiring the services of a personal injury lawyer to seek compensation from the person who was the cause of the injury.

Editor's Note: Dr. Miller has translated several classical Indian texts from Sanskrit into English. This is the fourth part of Richard's translation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, along with his rich insights and incisive commentary.
Patañjali now presents six sutras that differentiate ever subtler states of meditation that enable us to go beyond what normally binds attention (prakṛti), in order to attain a glimpse of Essential Nature (puruṣa) and the flowering of freedom from suffering.
What is the process of meditative absorption?
The realization of unconditioned Essential Nature is initially accompanied by gross logical thinking, subtle discriminative inquiry, feelings of joy or bliss, and identification with being a separate observer or ego-I-self.
When the mind is directed towards a chosen object, understanding of the object gradually deepens, whether the object chosen is of the ever-changing nature of the body, mind, senses and world (prakṛti) or towards unchanging Essential Nature (puruṣa). The ultimate aim of Patañjali's teachings on absorptive meditation (dhārana, dhyāna, and samprajñāta and asamprajñāta samādhi) is the release from the limitations imposed by the mind's identification and fusion with the ever-changing aspects of the body, mind, and senses, so that attention is freed from these identifications and can, instead, turn into and realize our true identity as unchanging Essential Nature.
Like peeling an onion, each successive stage of inquiry leaves the ones that come before it behind, as an ever-deepening level of absorption is attained. That said, however subtle and sustained, it is important to understand that all stages of concentration maintain an element of distance between one's self as subject (observer), and the object that is being inquired into (observed). This distance keeps in place identification with one's self as a separate ego-I seer (observer), in reference to the object seen (observed). The ultimate aim of absorptive meditation is to realize that this distance is simply a product of thought, and does not actually exist, except as a misperception by the mind. Now, let us examine the first five stages of meditation that Patañjali describes as belonging to absorptive meditation (samprajñāta samādhi).
1. Vitarka: The object of meditation is perceived at a gross cognitive level.
a. Savitarka Samādhi: Gross logical reasoning is used to perceive the object of meditation. This involves the use of words (śabdha), imagery (artha), and ideas (jñāna). Words, images and ideas are never the object itself, but merely mental representations of the object perceived. For instance, a rose is neither the alphabetical letters, 'r', 'o', 's', 'e', or the spoken word "rose". The word/image/idea "rose" is only a representation that resides in the mind.
b. Nirvitarka Samādhi: Here gross thinking falls away, but conceptual thought is still being engaged to move us ever closer towards being absorbed in the actual object.
2. Vicāra: The object of meditation is perceived at a subtle cognitive level (tanmātra).
a. Savicāra Samādhi: Awareness of time, space, and self as a separate observer is present.
b. Nirvicāra Samādhi: Awareness of time, space, and self as a separate observer begin to dissolve.
3. Ānānda: As subtle thought begins to dissolve feelings of deep peace, equanimity, and great joy or bliss arise as conceptual thinking becomes ever-subtler.
a. Sānānda Samādhi: Joy arises with the increasing disengagement from the sense organs, and a subtler independence from conceptual thinking.
b. Nirānāda: Joy dissolves, as absorption becomes free of conceptual cognitive reasoning.
4. Asmitā: All that remains is a subtle pre-cognitive feeling of being a separate observer or "I-am-ness" that is aware of the chosen object of meditation.
a. Sasmitā: A gross pre-cognitive feeling of I-amness is present, which supports the feeling of being a separation observer to what is being observed. As Essential Nature becomes the object of contemplation, there continues a separation from Essential Nature. One continues to misperceive the ego-I to be the true observer.
b. Nirasmitā: I-ness all but disappears and becomes so transparent that Essential Nature begins to be recognized as the true observer or "I-amness" of itself. One begins to realize that the observer and the observed are one and the same, Essential Nature.
During there remains a division between the observer and the observed, however subtle. The sense of separation created by the ego-I observer is becoming more and more transparent, but during samprajñāta samādhi there always remains an object of concentration, and a division between the seer and the seen.
During Asamprajñāta Samādhi the misperception of being a separate ego-I observer of Essential Nature dissolves. Misperception and identification with the changing aspects of nature (prakṛti) dissolve and Essential Nature (puruṣa) is realized to be the true Seer, the true Self.
Where does the process of absorption lead?
Different from samprajñāta samādhi is thepractice of asamprajñāta samādhi. Here, cessation of all effort, even at meditating, spontaneously arises, which leads to a deep settling of the mind into peace, equanimity and the underlying stillness of simply being. Only remnant impressions of thoughts, memories and images remain, which constitute the sense of identification as a separate "I", "me" or seer, even as knowing begins to arise that the true Seer is not the ego-I (ahamkara) but Essential Nature (puruṣa).
Asamprajñāta samādhi is brought about through constant practice and complete release and disidentification (para- vairāgya) from the changing circumstances of the mind, and the realization of Essential Nature as the true Seer, beyond the limitations of the conceptual mind. When identification with the mind ceases, only latent impressions remain and no new impressions arise.
The function of the mind is to move, wherein each movement of the mind gives rise to subsequent movements. Among the movements created by the mind is the impression of being an observer, seer, "I" or "me" who is either aware of, or identified with the various movements of body, mind, senses, emotions and thoughts.
Impressions by the senses that register within the mind give rise to subtle desires, which cause new thoughts to arise, which give rise to gross desires, which give rise to actions that are initiated into the world, which create experiences, which give rise to new impressions, desires, thoughts, actions, experiences, new impressions, and so on in an endless cycle of birth and death.
Meditation allows this cycle to be understood as simply a function of the body, mind and senses. This insight frees attention from this cycle of birth, growth, stability, decay and death. Attention is now free to inquire into the nature of the seer, which ultimately is realized to be Essential Nature, which has always been free from this cycle. This realization leads to the complete disidentification and freedom "from" this cycle, the realization of our Essential Nature as the true "seer", and the subsequent ending of suffering.
What should one understand with respect to impressions that remain in the mind?
As long as residual impressions remain, there remains the possibility for re-identification and fusion with these remnant impressions (prakṛti) and the subsequent re-identification with being a separate ego-I, or "me".
Even upon the attainment of asamprajñāta samādhi and realization of Essential Nature as the true seer, there still remains the possibility of rebirth and re-identification with the latent impressions that continue to be present in consciousness. which can give rise again to fusion with the changing states of mind and re-identification with being a separate ego-I self.
1. Jagra: The waking state in which the senses and mind are turned outward into identifications with the gross changing states of body, mind, senses and world, and away from Essential Nature.
2. Svapna: The sleeping state or condition of consciousness during sleep, after death, or in reverie; where there is identification with subtle objects of body, mind, and senses.
3. Sushupti: The deep-sleep state of blankness, but wherein there is self-awareness and a subtle sense of being a separate observer ego-I of this blank state.
4. Turiya: The "fourth" state wherein Essential Nature is awake to Itself as the true seer.
During the initial stages of meditation (samādhi) the seer, as ego-I, is aware of and identified with the ever-changing movements of the mind, body, senses, and world. Here, the seer remains identified as a separate experiencer of sensations, emotions, and cognitions, as a separate thinker, experiencer, and performer of actions.
In the later stages of meditation (samādhi) the ego-I seer is realized to be just another conceptual thought, albeit subtle. Identification with the changing states of body, mind, and senses ceases. There is absorption in and as Essential Nature.
Manas: The conscious mind, which performs the function of receiving, storing, and forwarding sense-impressions to the intellect (buddhi) for discriminative evaluation. A portion of these impressions are acted upon, resolved and completely dissolve, while remaining impressions pass into the subconscious mind, where they are stored for later evaluation by the intellect.
Buddhi: The aspect of mind that reasons, rationalizes, arranges, and evaluates sensory perceptions. It is the intellect that blossoms into intuition. Intellect is an integrating function, and is comprised of a balance between reason (mental) and heart (feeling).
Ahamkara: The ego-I principle that gives rise to the sense of being a personal I-me-mine who possesses and acts, and is born and dies.
Citta: The storehouse of impressions that are gathered and acted upon by the three other aspects of mind. Citta functions as a reference library. It is responsible for memorization, retention, and mental recollection.
These four aspects of the mind function in intimate reciprocation. For example, when a shining pebble of gold is attained, the eye-sense convey its golden brilliance to the mind (manas) and these impressions are stored in consciousness (citta). The intellect (buddhi) then evaluates and recognizes that gold is valuable and that material desires can be satisfied through its possession. The ego-I (ahamkara) then comes in and says: "This gold is mine." The ego-I function then worries about how to use or keep the gold safe from others. These impressions of worry are then added to the subconscious storehouse of impressions (citta).
What is the role of faith, will-power, and memory in the process of realizing Essential Nature?
In the case of most , realization of Essential Nature is preceded by, and proceeds from faith, enthusiastic devotion to practice, will-power, constant remembering of the teachings, and right understanding of meditative absorption.
For most people, faith is the underlying force that moves one ever-onwards towards realization of Essential Nature. Faith provides the energy and willingness to persist, in spite of repeated failures. Faith enables us to constantly remember the teachings and to devotedly engage in persistent practice. Meditation strengthens faith and faith, in turn, strengthens meditation.
The realization of Essential Nature is not the result of chance, or the achievement of psychic powers, or the result of insights bestowed upon us by teachers. Realization is the culmination of persistent, patient and persevering self-discipline, which enables right understanding to fully blossom within ourselves.
1. Faith (śraddhā): The firm conviction that the truth we seek lies within ourselves, and that the teachings and practice of yoga will enable us to realize Essential Nature. Faith is not based on belief, which can be shaken, but upon deep inner certainty.
Faith entails the qualities of deep curiosity, respect, love, equanimity, and absolute devotion to truth. Faith brings forth and strengthens these attitudes, and these attitudes bring forth and strengthen faith.
Faith gives rise to an inner felt-sense that all is well (well-being); that we are standing on firm ground no matter our circumstance; that we are treading the right path. Faith protects. Faith inspires conviction, self-confidence and reliance on our own inner resources. Faith gives rise to trust that does not require proof or evidence. Faith is not mere hope or petition, but is based upon deep motivation and absolute trust that what we seek will be revealed.
2. Determination (vīrya): The inner resolute determination, courage, and willfulness to patiently, persistently, and perseveringly overcome all obstacles. Yoga is not a path for the faint of heart. It is the path of determination to persist in spite of doubts and obstacles that inevitably arise along the way.
3. Memory (smṛti): Memory entails our capacity to learn from our experiences and retain these memories in consciousness so that we can drawn upon our experience as we move ever onward towards the realization of Essential Nature.
4. Wisdom (prajñā): Wisdom is acquired through sustained attention that is consistently turned towards truth and the realization of Essential Nature. It entails our ability to discern and engage discriminative (para-vairāgya) wisdom and insight (prajña).
At first, we utilize the function of memory to embed conceptual names that describe and point us in the direction of Essential Nature. Embedding such concepts into memory enables the repetition of these concepts that repeatedly bring before the mind images of Essential Nature so that the remembrance of Essential nature is fixed firmly in the mind.
Second, we remember that Essential Nature is already residing within us. We continue remembering the symbol—concept/word—that represents Essential Nature, repeating the word in order to keep our mind focused on our desire to realize Essential Nature.
Third, we patiently, persistently, perseveringly, and devotionally remember our desire to realize Essential Nature. Our thoughts repeatedly return to remembering our yearning for freedom from suffering. Every sensation, emotion and thought we experience is paired with our desire to realize Essential Nature.
Fourth, memory is utilized in the midst of all actions, and during in all states of consciousness. During all of our worldly pursuits, we keep in mind our desire to realize Essential Nature. When this is so, it may be said that we are firmly established in a yogic state of meditation 365-24-7.
Fifth, we constantly observe what is arising in the mind and abandon every state that otherwise distracts the mind from remaining focused upon and absorbed in the desire to realize Essential Nature. Absorption (asamprajñāta samādhi) is established when self-forgetfulness disappears and memory is firmly oriented in every moment to realizing and awakening as Essential Nature.
Sixth, sensations, emotions, thoughts, and images that arise in the mind that are other than Essential Nature are noticed and set aside. In this way we reach a state of equanimity wherein the mind and sense organs grow completely still. Outer and inner objects lose their ability to distract. Through discrimination and constant recollection of Essential Nature, the mind is purified and is freed from all thoughts other than those that are oriented towards the realization of Essential Nature.
Is the goal of yoga near or far?
Realization of Essential Nature is always close at hand when there is intense enthusiasm, energy, sincerity, and devotion to speedily overcome all obstacles that stand in the way of realizing Essential Nature.
In the words of the 13th century ecstatic poet Kabir, "It is the intensity of the longing that does all the work." The more ardently you desire to reach the goal, the swifter your progress. It is far easier to realize Essential Nature than it is to reach down and pick a flower. In the case of the flower there is distance involved, while in the case of Essential Nature there is no physical distance to traverse for it is already what you are. To achieve success in the material world, you have to deal with the minds of many. To achieve success in yoga you only need deal with your own mind. To bring success in the material world requires that you add things to yourself. Yoga requires that you let go of things. Realization of Essential Nature is only brought about by letting go of the belief that you are not Essential Nature.
Essential Nature is already the case.
or in any way obtained.
meditation is easy to understand.
there is no more walking.
there is no more minding.
Mind and truth will never meet.
What allows some to attain the goal of yoga, while others do not?
There is a distinction between those who possess mild, moderate, or intense enthusiasm, desire, energy, and willfulness for realizing Essential Nature. The realization of Essential Nature is always close at hand for those who are intensely one-pointed in their desire for realization.
Not everyone possesses the same intensity or longing for truth. Variation in capacity varies from mild and moderate to intense. Faith (śraddhā) underlies one's intensity for realizing truth. The most intense form of energy comes when all other pursuits are given up and the mind becomes occupied only with the task at hand: the realization of Essential Nature. Only then is constant practice possible.
In the sutras that follow, Patañjali proposes a variety of means for reducing or removing the sources of distraction that otherwise prevent realization of Essential Nature.

And yes, I became aware that Broko meant it is impossible to avoid a pounce lock. He is more or less correct that it is unavoidable if executed properly, but I also wanted to demonstrate that it's not disastrous if he does get hit with a spit via pounce animation, seeing as his complaint seemed to also stem from his plausible frustration in dealing with it (how I interpreted it at least. He can correct me if I am wrong).
This is a good point to focus on. Regardless of how "unavoidable" the combo may or may not be, it's a wasted effort on the Hunter's part if it doesn't result in a kill. This tactic can only be used once per cycle of regenerated Spits and uses up two of the Hunter's three main abilities. Once it's done, if it doesn't work, the Hunter is open to assault, as the Human pretty much knows he doesn't have any UV Spits left.
I know there's a way to avoid death after the trick, but what I'm saying is that the spit is unavoidable if executed correctly!! Automatic disadvantages like that shouldn't be in the game is what I'm saying. There is no possible way to avoid the spit with the trick if it's done correctly.
Just the fact that it's possible to execute this unavoidable technique is balanced.
first fix broken Survivor issues , main being Noise drawing Virals if your using gas tanks and guns to destroy nest.
Well Hunter's can see exactly where Humans are from a far range (without zombie blood). The Human's sense doesn't exactly tell you the Hunter's location and direction. I think it's fine the way it is now.
I think the first one is the better option. Just ideas though.
I agree with you on that, I hope they speed it up maybe a little bit. After all, it is still just one Human with no one to revive him.
Hunter shouldn't capable to GP spam (like in one screenshot i posted here before.. the guy do 84 GP in 16 minutes match.. thats about 5 GP every minute, in 2 vs 1 mind you.
Where's the clip at? The one that you can dodge in mid air? I'm curious to know if there's even a way.
My original clip where it happened during a match was in a twitch video that I didn't save so I tried to recreate it with No_Other_xD.
This does not work however when you're falling or dodging off a ledge. I'll say it was a latency issue with the first guy who did it to me as he was walking off a ledge.
The situation is different in my video. As in being ground pounded off a building and being tackled.
Your video shows how to dodge it while jumping or in the air technically.
The first one was on the ground not on a building.
-Death from above on zombie in water.
Missing ground pound... the skill hunter must use several dozens of times each game - instant death unavoidable.
Edit: Myself and other people suggested cooldown based rework for ground pound.
Eease of spotting explosive barrels - instant death unaviodable.
Nests in places that are easy to destroy and impossible to defend.
I am experienced zombie player and every game I die mostly due to missed ground pounds, DoA and barrels.
If you want balance start with humans then have all capabilities of the hunter and higher damage output.

Подводные лодки типа П — «Правда» (IV серия) — тип эскадренных подводных лодок, сконструированных в СССР в 1930-е годы. Всего было выпущено три лодки.
Проект был создан в ОКТБ-2 по замыслу инженера А. Н. Асафова, занимавшегося ранее надводными кораблями, в частности, участвовавшего в постройке линкора «Гангут».
Обводы лодки были приближены к обводам эсминцев, самых быстроходных надводных кораблей того времени. В качестве главного вооружением лодки предусматривались две артиллерийские башни с орудиями калибра 130-мм и одно 37-мм орудие.

История проекта
Лодка задумывалась для ведения боя в составе эскадры надводных кораблей и для проведения противодесантных операций. Уже при разработке чертежей проект подвёргся серьёзной критике со стороны многих специалистов-подводников. Основной акцент проекта делался на улучшение мореходных качеств в надводном положении и достижение максимальной надводной скорости, что шло в ущерб главному преимуществу подводной лодки — её скрытности. Небольшая фактическая рабочая глубина погружения (до 40 м), медленная скорость погружения, высокий надводный борт, слабость торпедного вооружения, малый запас торпед, отсутствие возможности торпедных залпов, неоправданное перетяжеление лодки за счёт использования артиллерии и прочие недостатки привели к тому, что в марте 1931 года командир бригады ПЛ Балтийского моря М. Ф. Стороженко предоставил начальнику ВМС рапорт с вердиктом: такую лодку принимать на вооружение нельзя.

Однако впоследствии проект доработали и отправили в постройку. Головная ПЛ «Правда» была заложена в мае 1931 года, ещё две — в декабре 1931. В процессе строительства был обнаружен перегруз лодок, поэтому, в целях экономии массы, был удалён из конструкции вспомогательный форсирующий дизель-генератор мощностью 800 л. с., а также изменены типы орудий: калибр двух главных был снижен со 130 до 100 мм, а вспомогательного — увеличен с 37 до 45 мм.

Некоторые серьёзные недостатки проекта так и не были устранены, поэтому эти подводные лодки за время боевой службы не совершили ни одной торпедной атаки кораблей противника В то же время их пытались использовать для транспортных нужд и привлекали в качестве плавучих батарей при обороне Ханко и блокадного Ленинграда. Основным назначением этих кораблей была подготовка кадров для подводного флота, в связи с чем они довольно часто посещались советскими политическими деятелями.

All 10 companies newly listed on Beijing Stock Exchange see their share prices surge
People's Daily

By Zhao Zhanhui
As of Nov. 19, the first batch of 81 companies debuted on the Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE), which officially started trading at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 15, registered a cumulative combined trading volume of about 21.25 billion yuan (about $3.33 billion) since the first day of trading.
Among the 81 companies, 10 newly approved firms had seen their share prices rocket 123.91 percent on average, and the rest 71 companies transferred from the selected layer of China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), also known as the New Third Board, had recorded a cumulative total trading volume of 13.01 billion yuan since the opening of the new bourse.
The BSE focuses on serving innovation-oriented enterprises that are in its earlier development stages, have smaller scale and show stronger innovation, compared with China's Science and Technology Innovation Board, commonly known as the STAR Market, and the ChiNext board, which were also launched to provide services for innovation-oriented enterprises.
Trading activities at the new Beijing bourse have met expectations. At the same time, the BSE has shown better liquidity than the selected layer of the New Third Board.
The new Beijing bourse will benefit innovation-oriented enterprises, which are considered dynamic market entities, with favorable policies and systems, Cheng Yongqing, chairman of the board of directors of the Beijing Tri-Prime Gene Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said while addressing the opening ceremony of the BSE as a representative of the first companies debuted on the new bourse.
The first batch of 81 companies listed on the BSE has caught great attention. Although from different industries, these companies have fully demonstrated the role of the BSE as a platform serving innovation-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Standing out from more than 7,000 companies on the New Third Board, the 71 companies transferred from the selected layer of the New Third Board are star performers that enjoy sound business operations and relatively strong growth prospects.
Of the first batch of enterprises, 17 are "little giant enterprises" with specialized, sophisticated techniques and unique, novel products.
The first batch of enterprises cover 25 major industries of the national economy, and most are in the vanguard of industry segments. Their average research and development (R&D) intensity reaches 4.2 percent and R&D expenditure 25.36 million yuan.
A sound financing environment requires suitable systems. Within about two months during the preparations for the opening of the BSE, China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), the country's securities regulator, released six regulations and 13 normative documents, and the new bourse formulated 51 sets of systems and rules, fostering a more inclusive, flexible, and universally beneficial financing environment.
The inclusive and precise issuance and listing systems of the BSE accommodate the needs of different types of SMEs with different characteristics, said Tian Xuan, associate dean of the Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance.
The minimum market capitalization threshold required by the four parallel sets of listing standards of the BSE is 200 million yuan, much lower than the one billion yuan threshold of the STAR Market and the ChiNext board, Tian pointed out.
The new Beijing bourse also rolls out listing standards that focus on the growth potential and R&D capabilities of enterprises, offering more opportunities to businesses with strong innovation capability and high R&D expenditure, according to Tian.
Adopting the registration-based initial public offering (IPO) system, the new exchange requires companies seeking listings to submit IPO applications to the BSE and register at the CSRC. The examination and approval procedures at the BSE take two months, one month less than the time needed at other stock exchanges that also pilot the registration-based IPO system, such as the STAR Market and the ChiNext board.
As a newly established stock market, the BSE aims to, based on its market positioning and characteristics, improve the quality of listed companies from three main aspects, according to an executive of the new bourse.
First, the BSE will strengthen supervision on the entry of companies to the exchange. It will earnestly implement the pilot registration-based IPO system, lay emphasis on information disclosure by listed companies, keep various arrangements in line with those of the STAR Market and the ChiNext board, ensure that its listing requirements are precise, inclusive and suitable for SMEs, and clarify responsibilities of various parties in IPO screening to avoid risks.
Second, the BSE will ensure that responsibilities of key entities are fulfilled. Corporate governance and information disclosure, among other aspects of the daily round of the new bourse, will be comprehensively aligned with main current regulatory arrangements for listed companies. The BSE will further make sure in continuous supervision that responsibilities of intermediaries, including sponsor institutions, are fulfilled. It will also require listed companies to shoulder the primary responsibility for standardizing operations so as to stimulate their endogenous power for improving their quality.
Third, the BSE will make sure channels of delisting are clear. While fully tolerating inherent characteristics of SMEs, such as the fact that their performance is vulnerable to external influences, the exchange will resolutely remove companies in extreme situations from its register, including the ones that have seriously violated the law or are no longer able to continue its operations.

Ubisoft Scalar: It's the New Technology of the Ubisoft Cloud
Ubisoft Scalar is Ubisoft's next step into the future. A newly created development environment that harnesses the power of the cloud for games of the future. It is not a new graphics engine. This is not a video game streaming system. It is a tool on which they want to create the open worlds of the future.
Few developers in the video game industry have been able to create massive worlds like Ubisoft. Every title in the company starts from the same pattern, and the truth is that each surpasses the previous one. If there are richer or denser open worlds, Ubisoft's formula works.
However, the evolution of the gamer industry, and especially integrating games as a service into the industry standard, reduced the size of traditional development tools. And the limitation of the current hardware also poses a limitation for the developer when creating these worlds.
This is precisely the problem that Ubisoft seems to have solved. The company showcased a new cloud-based development environment at GDC Ubisoft Scalar that allows developers to create richer, more powerful worlds by breaking down the barriers of current physical hardware. Or at least on paper.
Ubisoft Scalar is not a New Game Engine nor a Streaming Service.
Ubisoft Scalar is not a development engine. It is an environment in which, taking advantage of current drivers, such as snowfall Where Anvil, offers greater flexibility and development power by using the power of the cloud.
According to the company, this directly responds to the growing need to reduce player dependency on hardware and opens up new game development and player experience possibilities.
Scalar also breaks some of the current constraints of development environments, according to Ubisoft, and offers greater flexibility. How? 'Or' What? Instead of working as a whole, Scalar uses a microservices architecture, making them semi-independent.
This lets developers update key game components in real-time without patching the entire engine. And without interrupting the game.
Independent services, so you don't have to stop the game.
The framework allows changes to be made to components such as AI or physics without the need to modify other parts of the game. This means that changes can be implemented in online games or games as a service (change weapon damage or alter the storyline) without updating the entire game. It also allows for adding new features to a game without interrupting the user's game.
Additionally, being a cloud environment, Ubisoft says Scarlar allows developers to create more prosperous and powerful worlds than would be possible with players' home hardware.
This technology can harness infinite computation and run anything from vast virtual worlds too much deeper simulations and environments.
It's unclear when we'll see the first game to take advantage of Ubisoft Scalar. And if we will see it soon. However, the company has confirmed that its Stockholm studio is working on a new IP that will harness the power of this innovative technology.
Either way, we welcome any tools that, in a world of constant updates, meaning you don't have to wait for the game to update or quit the game.

Democrat Andrew Yang ends presidential bid
The businessman pulled the plug as New Hampshire primary results rolled in
Breck Dumas
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang announced Tuesday night he will be ending his campaign for the White House, breaking the news as results rolled in from the New Hampshire primary held that day.
What are the details?
Yang told the Washington Post of his decision, "I am a numbers guy. In most of these [upcoming] states, I'm not going to be at a threshold where I get delegates, which makes sticking around not necessarily helpful or productive in terms of furthering the goals of this campaign."
The businessman — who ran on the promise of providing Americans a universal basic income of $1,000 a month — was a long-shot candidate who outlasted several well-known politicians in the race. He ran for two years, gaining nationwide name recognition and a devoted following who dubbed themselves the Yang Gang.
But ultimately, as the numbers came in from New Hampshire, he decided it was time to throw in the towel.
"There was a part of me that thought that we might be able to win this race and get this done this cycle," Yang told Politico. "And so there's a lot of disappointment, because when you're goal oriented and you're a builder, it's very hard to pat yourself on the back and say 'job well done' if you didn't win. But rationally and objectively, I know that we've done something unprecedented and remarkable."
In a speech Tuesday night, Yang told supporters, "I will support whoever is the Democratic nominee. That said, I hope this campaign can be a message and a word of caution and guidance to my Democratic colleagues that Donald Trump is not the cause of all of our problems."
"I will support whoever is the Democratic nominee," Andrew Yang said after announcing he's dropping out. "That sai… https://t.co/fTy8lcg452

A Praça do Buriti é uma praça localizada na Zona Cívico-Administrativa de Brasília, entre as vias N1 e S1, no Eixo Monumental. Abriga ao seu redor as sedes dos poderes do Distrito Federal: o Tribunal de Justiça do Distrito Federal e dos Territórios; o Palácio do Buriti, sede do Poder Executivo; e a Câmara Legislativa.

O entorno da praça conta ainda com o Tribunal de Contas do Distrito Federal e o Ministério Público do Distrito Federal e Territórios. A praça, assim como os principais prédios do seu entorno, foi projetada por Nauro Esteves em conformidade com o Plano Piloto de Lúcio Costa.

História e inauguração

Foi inaugurada em 25 de agosto de 1969, juntamente com o Palácio do Buriti, recebendo o nome de Praça da Municipalidade, como constava no projeto original de Lúcio Costa.

A praça possui mais de 47 mil metros quadrados, dois espelhos d'água, doze bancos de concreto e 14 mil metros quadrados de jardins. Além disso, possui mais de cem mangueiras em um bosque contíguo à sua área e que se estende até o Memorial dos Povos Indígenas.

Buriti

A praça recebeu o nome atual em homenagem à única palmeira da espécie buriti plantada em toda praça, por iniciativa do presidente da Companhia Urbanizadora da Nova Capital - Novacap, Israel Pinheiro, inspirado no poema "Um buriti perdido", do escritor Afonso Arinos. Ela foi plantada na época da construção de Brasília, entretanto, a que está lá hoje não é a mesma: a original morreu dez anos depois, sendo que a árvore do Buriti atual foi plantada em 1969.

A árvore se tornou um dos símbolos da cidade e foi tombada como patrimônio histórico do Distrito Federal em 30 de maio de 1985. Na atualidade, se encontra amarrada a quatro cabos de aço presos em uma espia, com uma anilha em seu tronco, após um homem tentar derruba-la a machadadas em 1992.

This new contouring trend is both a gift and a curse.
You love the idea of being able to create the illusion of cheekbones and narrow the bridge of your nose, but god is it an art.
Here are 17 things that happen when you decide to try contouring.
1. You spend hours watching beauty vlogs on YouTube and you're like hell yes I'm doing this.
2. You go online and look at the products the vlogger used.
3. You decide you don't want to spend an entire month's wages on creating an even 'base'.
4. You discover that make-up brushes actually play an important role and the one your mum got free with her Avon order won't cut it.
5. You discover you can't afford proper make-up brushes. Avon it is.
6. You decide to go to Boots to purchase cheaper versions of everything you've seen online.
7. You sit in front of the mirror with all your new stuff and stare at it feeling overwhelmed.
8. You go onto YouTube to find the video you saw of that guy who has mad make-up skills.
9. You begin applying and wonder if it's normal that you look like a clown.
10. You take your 'damp beauty blender' just like he told you and you begin to blend.
11. Oh god, it's not looking any better. You take the next steps. Just keep going.
12. You use the powders you bought to 'set' your contour but you still don't look like Kim Kardashian.
13. You add the final touches and then do your eye make up.
14. Hey! You're looking GOOD.
15. You take 30 selfies because this was just a trial and you have nowhere to actually go.
16. You pack it all away because ain't nobody got time for contouring every day.
17. You decide to stick to foundation and blush and people can like it or lump it.

Questa pagina raccoglie le informazioni riguardanti il Taranto Football Club  nelle competizioni ufficiali della stagione 1990-1991.

Stagione
Nella stagione 1990-1991 il Taranto affidato all'allenatore Walter Nicoletti disputa il campionato di Serie B, raccoglie 37 punti che valgono l'undicesimo posto in classifica. Una salvezza certificata solo con la vittoria (1-0) sul Verona già promosso, nell'ultima giornata di campionato, ma ampiamente meritata. Un campionato di regolarità, sempre appena al di sopra della zona pericolosa, il girone di andata si è chiuso con 18 punti, il girone di ritorno con 19 punti, quanto è bastato per mantenere la categoria. Un torneo molto equilibrato, basti pensare che la Salernitana con un punto in meno è retrocessa, dopo aver perso lo spareggio con il Cosenza. Con lei sono scesi in Serie C1 la Reggina, la Triestina ed il Barletta, nove squadre si sono trovate raccolte in soli 2 punti, dal 9º al 17º posto. Con il Verona sono saliti nella massima serie il Foggia, la Cremonese e l'Ascoli. Con 9 reti il miglior marcatore rossoblù è stato Davide Zannoni, dei quali 5 su calcio di rigore. Nella Coppa Italia il Taranto supera il primo turno eliminando dal torneo l'Avellino nel doppio confronto, nel secondo turno cede il passo alla Juventus, comunque battuta (2-1) al Iacovone.

Heads up, industrial distributors, the frontal assault from Amazon Business is here.
This video from our friends at Industrial Distribution highlights another disturbing fact: While Amazon Business has recently grown more than 250 percent, the current Industrial Distribution leaders have lost more than $8 billion in market value in that same period. Ouch.
Amazon is expanding on its AI capability, and you can too. Only, you don't need to hire 100 scientists and ask them to boil an ocean of data, hoping for a golden ticket.
