They have been concealed in church spires, petrol stations and even treetops. Now, telecom companies are offering people thousands of pounds to hide mobile telephone masts in their homes. An investigation by The Telegraph has found that four of the five network providers were prepared to put up a concealed mast on a home and pay as much as £7,000 a year in rent.
Two companies volunteered to conceal the masts inside chimneys, burglar alarms and drain pipes. One company said that placing masts on homes avoids having to apply for planning permission. Although government scientific advisers say there is no evidence that mobile telephone masts threaten health, opposition to them is growing across Britain. Studies show that radiation from the masts suppresses melatonin, a hormone affecting sleep patterns, and most companies have followed government advice not to site them in schools.Despite the concern, when an undercover reporter posing as a homeowner in Enfield, north London, spoke to the main network providers, almost all were willing to site a mast on his house.
Tanja Gundolf, the north London acquisitions manager for Hutchison 3G, said that one of the company's 4ft antennae could readily be concealed on his home. "More and more people in England are now having them on private houses and we do have houses all over the country now," she said. "It makes it easier for us because, planning-wise, it's easy to do a stealth option [a hidden mast].
"We hide them behind chimneys, we colour them according to brick walls. We exchange existing chimneys or extend them a little bit higher. You would not be able to tell that this is not a real chimney and that it actually has antennae behind it. "We run cables in drainpipes and stuff like that. We can make telecommunications sites almost invisible."
When told that people might object if they saw the mast on a neighbouring house, Ms Gundolf dismissed their concerns. "There are always people complaining. As long as they can't see it and they can make the phone calls, that's all that's important to them anyway."
The latest aerials, she said, "hardly weigh anything and you can hardly see them. It's really easy to tuck them away. Wherever possible we now do that because it causes less trouble and makes life easier for all of us."
Ms Gundolf, who said that home owners could expect about £7,000 rent if a property was accepted as being in an area in need of additional coverage, proposed a site visit and took details. Later she rang back to say that Hutchison 3G had just placed a mast on a nearby site. Ms Gundolf was told of another property in Hull which was near a school and asked if that would be a problem.
"We have a policy of not placing them on schools," she replied, "but if your house is near a school then that's not necessarily a problem."
Orange, the next company approached, was equally enthusiastic. "We are looking for homes in Enfield definitely," said Ian Ratcliffe, the regional acquisition manager. "Have you got a good signal? Enfield has been quite contentious for us. We tried to put a couple of lamppost-type installations in one area which the residents felt very unhappy about. Enfield is now deemed to be quite proactive in people being against masts. If you can send us details we will certainly be in touch."
When told that neighbours could object to the antenna, Mr Ratcliffe said that there were ways to "mask" it. "You can replace a downpipe, for instance. You can put up a small antenna which would be covered by a burglar alarm box - all the equipment goes inside so we don't need planning permission for it.
"There are various potential aesthetic options that we have which, if the location was of use, we would agree with you. If the installation is immediately adjacent to other properties, then we have an obligation to talk to them.
"How near is near depends on a lot of things . . . You don't necessarily have to tell the whole road."
For what Orange calls a "microcell" - a middle-sized antenna - his company would pay a rental in London of "about £2,000 a year". Wayne Kemp, a customer resolution executive at O2 , said: "We can do residences - it all depends on whether the site is going to generate money for us. We take your details and then if we find we need a site in that area then yours would obviously be considered."
When it was suggested that the mast should be concealed from neighbours, Mr Kemp said: "We would not purposely go out to deceive people, or go behind their backs. We would let people know that we are installing a transmitter. We do consult them. It depends on what type of site we install."
Alana, a customer service representative from T-Mobile, said that the reporter's house was not immediately suitable as a site for a mast but did not rule it out. "It's unlikely, but we do build on blocks of flats," she said. "It would make no difference if it were private or council-owned. I can send you a form." Only Vodafone said that it did not consider residential properties as sites for its antennae.
Lisa Oldham, the director of the pressure group Mast Sanity, called the results of The Telegraph investigation "shocking".
"I am stunned that they have been so open over the phone," she said. "It goes to show that some companies are prepared to conceal antennae from residents, not just for aesthetic reasons but also to keep them in the dark.
"They don't need planning permission for many antennae so you could have someone next door who has a mast and you don't know about it and are not entitled to do anything about it."
She added: "Can you imagine the reaction of many neighbours when they find out the house next door has a secret mast sending out radiation? People will get very angry indeed."

Il Rituale Romano (latino: Rituale Romanum), anticamente chiamato anche «Sacerdotale», è l'insieme di alcuni libri liturgici della Chiesa cattolica contenenti le disposizioni secondo le quali si celebra un rito (battesimo, matrimonio, esequie, ecc.). Esso, unitamente al Pontificale Romano costituisce il riferimento liturgico ufficiale della Chiesa romana e comprende sia le formule, sia le diverse parti di cui si compone ogni singolo rito, sia i gesti, i movimenti e i vari portamenti del celebrante da assumere secondo lo svolgimento del rito medesimo.

Storia
Prima del Concilio di Trento ogni chiesa locale aveva un proprio rituale; dopo il Concilio di Trento si ebbe un solo rituale, detto «romano» che fu promulgato da papa Paolo V con la costituzione Apostolicae sedis del 17 giugno 1614.
Il rituale ebbe successive edizioni con modifiche, ampliamenti e migliorie che furono disposte da Benedetto XIV (1752), da Pio IX (1872), da Leone XIII (1884), da Pio XI (1925) e da Pio XII (1952), queste due ultime basate sul Rituale di Paolo V. Il rituale romano, ora completato, è stato riformato a norma dei decreti del Concilio Ecumenico Vaticano II e promulgato nel corso degli anni dai pontefici Paolo VI, Giovanni Paolo II e Benedetto XVI.

Rituale di Paolo V

Il rituale di papa Paolo V nell'indice era così costituito:

Rituale Romanum Pauli V Pontificis Maximi Jussu Editum, Aliorumque Pontificum Cura recognitum. Atque ad normam Codicis Juris Canonici accommodatum. SSMI D. B. PII Papae XII auctoritate et auctum ordinatum. Editio I Juxta Typicam Vaticanam:
 I (caput unicum)
 II DE SACRAMENTO BAPTISMI (Sacramento del Battesimo)
 III DE SACRAMENTO CONFIRMATIONIS (Sacramento della Cresima)
 IV DE SACRAMENTO PÆNITENTIÆ (Sacramento della Penitenza)
 V DE SANCTISSIMO EUCHARISTIÆ SACRAMENTO (Sacramento dell'Eucaristia)
 VI DE SACRAMENTO EXTREMÆ UNCTIONIS (Sacramento dell'estrema unzione)
 VII DE EXSEQUIIS (Esequie dei defunti)
 VIII DE SACRAMENTO MATRIMONII (Sacramento del matrimonio)
 IX BENEDICTIONIBUS (Benedizionale)
 X PROCESSIONIBUS (circa le processioni)
 XI LITANIÆ APPROBATAE (Sulle litanie dei santi)
 XII DE EXORCIZANDIS OBSESSIS A DÆMONIO (sull'esorcismo e la possessione dal demonio)

Elenco dei libri del Rituale Romano
Oggi, dopo la riforma liturgica seguita al Concilio Vaticano II, il Rituale è stato pubblicato in libri separati: ciascun rito ha il proprio libro liturgico. Esso è così costituito:
 Rito del Battesimo dei bambini
 Rito della Penitenza
 Rito della Confermazione
 Rito dell'unzione degli Infermi (Sacramento dell'Unzione e cura pastorale degli infermi)
 Rito delle Esequie
 Rito della professione religiosa
 Rito del Matrimonio (Sacramento del matrimonio)
 Rito dell'iniziazione cristiana degli adulti
 Rito dell'Eucaristia (o Rito della Comunione fuori della Messa e culto eucaristico)
 Benedizionale
 Rito degli esorcismi

At a conference in Beijing last week,NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang discussed NVIDIA's and Baidu's new deal to develop a technology platform for self-driving cars. Image source: NVIDIA.
Adding their names to a fast-growing list of research efforts, chipmaker NVIDIA(NASDAQ: NVDA) and Chinese internet giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) say that they have formed a partnership to develop a technology platform for self-driving cars.
Speaking at the annual Baidu World Conference in Beijing, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that his company will work with Baidu to create what he described as the world's first "map-to-car platform" for self-driving cars.
The idea, as Huang explained it, is that the car's artificially intelligent systems will use its own sensors along with a constantly updated 3D map in the cloud to navigate.
Baidu and Nvidia have a long history of working together on artificial intelligence (AI) systems, and Huang said that a self-driving car was a natural next step for the pair. The project will combine Baidu's cloud platform and mapping expertise with the self-driving processor platform introduced by NVIDIA earlier this year.
"We're going to bring together the technical capabilities, and the expertise in AI, and the scale of two world-class AI companies to build the self-driving car architecture from end to end, from top to bottom, from the cloud to the car," Huangsaid. "No company in the world today has demonstrated the ability to integrate this system and deploy it at scale for millions of cars to drive by themselves."
This is the latest in a string of self-driving research efforts announced by high-profile companies in and out of the traditional auto industry.
It's probably best understood as a response to the announcement by heavyweight auto-industry supplier Delphi Automotive(NYSE: DLPH) and assisted-driving expert Mobileye (NYSE: MBLY) that they will have an affordable and fully capable self-driving system available in 2019 to any automaker that would like to buy it. That announcement has reshaped thinking about the "race" to perfect self-driving technology: It may be a commodity before long.
Still, the market opportunity for a great, affordable system will be huge, and there may be a substantial market for a Baidu-branded effort. The search-engine giant is already well along in its own self-driving research efforts, which probably already involve NVIDIA; Baidu recently received permission to begin testing its own prototype self-driving cars in California, and has said that it plans to begin mass-producing them in China within five years.
Long story short: While Mobileye already has relationships with most of the global auto giants, Baidu may be best positioned to become the self-driving technology supplier of choice to China's fast-rising domestic automakers. That may well be the play here.

The rumor mill has revealed plenty of information on the upcoming Moto X4 mid-range smartphone. However, an insider has revealed that many of the specs of the Moto X4 revealed so far are not correct.
The Moto X4 was previously rumored to be powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset. However, fresh information suggests that the Snapdragon 630 will be present under the hood of the Moto X4. The SoC includes an octa-core processor that works at 2.2 GHz. Previous rumors have revealed that it would be coming in 4 GB RAM + 32 GB / 64 GB options. However, newer information states that it would be available only in 4 GB + 64 GB RAM option.
Blass has also revealed that the Moto X4 will be coming with an IP68 certified aluminum chassis and not a metal and glass combo body. Its front side will feature a fingerprint reader. It will be featuring a dual rear camera system of 8-megapixel and 12-megapixel sensors. Its selfie camera will be of 16-megapixel. It would be packed with a 3,000mAh battery.
The Moto X4 will be coming with a 5.2-inch FHD display. Some of the other features of the Moto X4 include Nougat OS, NFC, AI support and always-on voice function. It is rumored to launch in the fourth quarter of this year with a pricing of Rs. 20,999 (~$324).


For my screenplay, it's about a gang of killers that have been going around committing murders for months and getting away with it, careful not leave any forensic evidence at the crime scenes, and not leaving any scents for the police dogs to pick up on. Only one of them is caught out of probable cause, but he the case cannot make it trial for lack of evidence. But during his time spent behind bars awaiting a probable cause hearing, he got bad publicity from the media, and the public now knows the one member as a suspect. After he is released, he breaks off contact with the other gang members, because he does not want to lead the police to them in case he is being monitored. So the trail goes cold.
The way the police catch them is by making a website of fans devoted to the killers. Their victims were not people who treated others badly, and the fans of the website are dedicated to what he is doing, showing support for his vision. The website is all fake though. All fake members, with fake IDs and profiles. It's created by the police as a means for the killers to find the website through the media talking about it, and he joins it. The "fans" on the site keep saying how they want to help the killers by bringing his vision more public.
Basically the killers were traumatized by bullies and persecutors for being different while growing up, and their targets are those who are persecutors to general people in their lives. So the fake fans want to get the killers' message more out there, write books about it, and get his vision for social change going. They post on the website, that they want the killers to post a message back agreeing that they will stop their crimes, as long as the world recognizes what they are trying to accomplish and want people to treat each other better and for the moral decaying in society to stop.
The fans agree to write and make as many public statements supporting the killers' cause as they can, just so long as he will stop once they do, cause the point will be made as far as it can be then. They tell the killers that even though they are admiring them killing bullies to cause social change, they feel that the killers must reach an end goal and stop, once their point is made. They want to help them make it, they say.
The killers message the fans using an email that cannot be traced, since they do not want the fans tracing them of course in case of being possibly caught. So the fans send the killers a message back saying that they are not sure if they are the killers or not, because many people on the site claim to be members of the gang, and they are not sure who is for real, and who is just saying they are.
So they message the gang privately on the site, and tell them that in order to be sure, and come to want to help give the gang what they want, they want to meet the gang in person, in a public place to talk it all out and agree to terms.
They say in order to establish that they are the real gang, they want the gang to send their one member who was caught and released before. That way they will know the gang is for real, if they send their one member who is already known to the world. But they cannot meet the gang's terms, if they do not send that member to meet in person to go through the specifics with.
Since the gang would like to have more satisfactory results, they agree to send that member, but they all go to the public place as well, as back up, outside in other areas, in case something goes wrong.
So they agree to send that one member to meet the fans in a parking structure. The fan goes to meet them and they talk terms. But it's all recorded, cause the fans are cops. The fan figures it out and resists,, causing the cops to take him captive. The other gang members see it happens and rush out of their areas they are hiding in and take on the cops, but fail.
The other climax I have is there is a crooked cop, who is involved with the gang but then wants to turn good and wants to turn them in. What if that cop faked his own death and made it appear that the villains are the most likely suspects... The cop gives the police force, enough bread crumbs that leads to the suspects property and associates, and the police can get warrants to search, do wire taps, etc.
The only thing is, if a cop fakes his death and the police investigate it, but then find out it was a faked ruse on his part likely, but however, turned up evidence of other crimes 'accidentally', in the process, can they use that evidence cause it was turned up by accident?
For example, there seems to be a fine legal line in the difference between fruit of the poisonous tree evidence, compared to evidence, that was found accidentally, while investigating another matter. If the matter that is being investigated was a ruse, could the evidence of other past crimes, discovered by accident still be used, in relation to those past crimes, as long as the evidence proves to be authentic? And even though the fake death was a ruse, what if the investigation of the fake death, was all done by the book? Can the accidental evidence still be admitted then, compared to not doing things by the book, resulting in evidence being tainted?
Or maybe it would be better for the crooked cop, to fake his own kidnapping instead, and have the police investigate him being kidnapped instead, cause he could then have a better reason for being alive, and say he escaped the kidnapping.
Or I could write it so that the crooked cop gets killed for real, by the villains, or by the MC in the heat of the moment. The MC can then still frame the villains for his death, and manipulate other police characters, into getting revenge on the villains, which will lead them to follow a trail of bread crumbs to get to the evidence that is needed to charge the villains.
Each plan for to get the villains both have their pros and cons it seems. Which plan do you think is better for a third act, from what it sounds like?
Re: Which of these two third acts is better for my script?
I like the first one best. Judging by the way that you wrote it, I think you also like the first one best.
You explained this one as less of a description, and more of a series of questions and doubts. It's going to be really difficult to write this part if you're confused on how the evidence can and will be used. I also think that this one is a bit too complex to put into a screenplay. Perhaps this could be better written in a novel of sorts. I feel it would need more explaining than what can be done on-screen.

Belgian Culture Showcased at Presidential Palace

This year's Presidential Palace Citizen Party in Berlin had Belgium invited as guest country. Together with important political and diplomatic representatives, Belgian culture was represented by artists and the showcase of local gastronomic products and companies. A special mention was made to the Belgian German-speaking community.
Last Friday the 9th and Saturday 10th of September, the annual Federal President's Citizens Party took place at Berlin's Bellevue Presidential Palace, featuring the matching colours of both the German and Belgian flags as Belgium acted as partner and guest country. Political and diplomatic figures from the Kingdom of Belgium were present, with German Federal President Joachim Gauck acting as host of the event.
Belgium's three linguistic communities were represented by the attendance of Francophone Prime Minister Charles Michel, Flemish Member of Parliament Kris van Dijck and German-speaking Minister President Oliver Paasch. Belgium's German-speaking community, which is mostly located in the country's eastern region, was also represented by its socially engaged stage artists.
The clown group 'Cliniclowns', who normally perform for children in hospital, provoked laughs among the guests, alongside the Walhorner Tanz und Bewegung Centre, which presented a dance performance. Swing, jazz and chanson performances in both French and Flemish by the Flemish Katelijne Philips-Leben Trio also added a musical note to the party.
The childrens musical 'Es Fällt Herab Ein Träumelein' was also performed, which deals with the social issue of bullying in schools. It was performed by students from a school in Berlin's Wedding district, and was one of the highlights of the cultural program.
The entertainment segment of the two-day celebration was concluded with the eclectic, lively and humour-filled Klezmer, Balkan, rock and heavy metal performances by Wallonian band 'KermesZ à l'Est', a performance by the traditional circus group 'Koninklijke Steltenlopers' from the Flemish town of Merchtem, and the reading of children's book 'Rosie and Moussa' by Flemish author Michael de Cock. All the acts were linked by the common theme of diversity, integration and inclusion within a united society, of which Belgium is an example.
Institutional representation at the event included the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium to Germany, the Belgian German-Speaking Society, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the General Delegation of the Government of Flanders, Brussels Invest and Export and the Belgium Wallonia-Brussels Tourism Office.
Other companies assured that Belgian gastronomy was well represented. Guests were invited to sample Belgian trademark beer, provided on behalf of the Duvel Moortgat brewery through Berliner 'Herman' Belgian bar, as well as chocolate specialties provided by Neuhaus Créateur Chocolatier.
The two-day party, which was a showcase some of the best Belgian cultural and social initiatives, was an example to other EU countries of how such a cultural exchange can increase intercultural understanding and encourage jointly facing social challenges, especially in times of difficulty and lack of agreement.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations contained herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.With respect to the Common Stock, including those shares that are duly issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Warrants or Units, upon the Future Authorization and Issuance of such shares of Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
2.With respect to one or more series of the Preferred Stock, including those duly issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Debt Securities, Warrants or Units, upon the Future Authorization and Issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock, such shares of Preferred Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3.With respect to the Debt Securities, including those duly issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Preferred Stock, Warrants, Debt Securities or Units, upon the Future Authorization and Issuance of such Debt Securities, such Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
4.With respect to the Warrants, including those duly issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or Units, upon the Future Authorization and Issuance of the Warrants, such Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
5.With respect to Units, assuming that (a) any Debt Securities that form a part of such Units constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, as contemplated in opinion 3 above, (b) any Warrants that form a part of
such Units constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, as contemplated in opinion 4 above, and (c) any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that form a part of such Units are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, as contemplated in opinions 1 and 2 above, respectively, upon the Future Authorization and Issuance of the Units, such Units will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications:

La iglesia de Sant Romà de Vila es una iglesia románica situada en el pueblo de Vila en la parroquia andorrana de Encamp.
En julio del año 2003 fue declarada Bien de Interés Cultural de Andorra.

Descripción

Existe constancia documental de una capilla románica del siglo XII en el lugar de vila. Probablemente el muro de la puerta de entrada y el campanario son los originales. La iglesia ha sido datada del siglo XIII por el frontal de altar de madera policromada que se conserva en el Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña desde el año 1922. Este frontal representa la Maiestas Domini rodeada por cuatro parejas de apóstoles.

La planta es de una única nave rectangular con un ábside trapezoidal que sustituyó el primitivo ábside semicircular en las reformas a principio del siglo XX. Sobre el muro oeste hay un campanario de espadaña con un solo ojo, cubierto con dos vertientes.

Los muros son de piedras irregulares con argamasa de cal como material de unión. La cubierta es a dos vertientes con un entramado de madera y losas de pizarra encima.

A new approach for fMRI group data analysis is introduced to overcome the limitations of standard voxel-based testing methods, such as Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM). Using a Bayesian model selection framework, the functional network associated with a certain cognitive task is selected according to the posterior probabilities of mean region activations, given a pre-defined anatomical parcellation of the brain. This approach enables us to control a Bayesian risk that balances false positives and false negatives, unlike the SPM-like approach, which only controls false positives. On data from a mental calculation experiment, it detected the functional network known to be involved in number processing, whereas the SPM-like approach either swelled or missed the different activation regions.


Ok so this is ut, this era is over! Congrats to all that survived in good position and gg to those who got slaughtered. You'll have your revenge soon!
It's been fun on Mantax. Kudos to RPX for their barnstorming final few days - Ingo, Acelnorst and Griever Maelstrom have all had their share of my cities in the last few days and kept it going right to the end. Thanks also to WB, UC and Solaris for making it an interesting era without too much farming.
My last 24 hours has been slightly spoiled by a so-called ally who has decided to take cities from me for no apparent reason. When quizzed as to WTF he thought he was doing (this is clearly NOT sanctioned by his KD) his response was "I'm bored. Anyway it doesn't matter as it's the last 5 ticks so relax". Ah, right well that's fine then.... NOT. It would be unkind of me to name this rather stupid individual, so I won't say that it is Mr Plauge of RS.
WTG Wild Boys. Although we have 7 less players than RH and some of ours have been away for a while (me included).
What are you doing, lying with Krum?!
You are sleeping with the enemy Spooky! Banehallow will not approve!
Great job guysSure, Rocky and GP and RH merging didn't have anything to do with it. Imagine RPK and WB merge now. What then huh? Dude, many playuers from every KD have done a great job, and true, RH is listed first on the rankings but despreciating other kingdoms only show you as being extremely arrogant.
6/24/2007 3:00:50 PM Great job guysSure, Rocky and GP and RH merging didn't have anything to do with it. Imagine RPK and WB merge now. What then huh? Dude, many playuers from every KD have done a great job, and true, RH is listed first on the rankings but despreciating other kingdoms only show you as being extremely arrogant.
Actually, Weatherwax, they did....Since I took 3 of your guys cities in the last few hours. It made you guys drop abit. Plus Ingo doing the same. But yes it was a nice fight...Ever since the begining UC had always been getting attacked and we still stayed alived but not without the help of SUN.
Yep. I reckon WB can think RPK and UC for taking quite a few of our cities in the "mad Arma dash" to let them creep just ahead. I've taken a couple of mine back mind you, but you guys timed those attacks very nicely, especially Eternal Oblivion in the last 12 hours.
Esmerelda if you ask me i could stone to gold one of your mining city with atleast 1k warehouse.
it really was a fun ERA and i am still unsure which side had the upper hand in the End.
Thx to my enemies for giving me a hard time, using Bonus turns well, annoying me with skirmish armys and giving me their rainbow cities from former CL territory so easily (j/k).
At least in the end i got a purebred Mining city with 500 k income . Thx Esmeralda for stright outta .. you wont get it back :-D.
Zakira, did I say anything special about those cities?
Grats to WB (and to all the others), it's too bad it took us until the last leg of arma to finally meet. Well done.
full los would help as well. I usually make a review map at the end also.
So RED was top in Mantrax? Talk about last minute improvements!
Let the record show that Mr. Mayhem Xii was part of UC for a LONG time but in the last 24 hours of the era decided to leave UC and make his own.
And that Map is Wrong. In TAK territory that Second Lake at the bottom is Half part of UC due to my cities.
Friends and foes alike, SWEET era and AWESOME job! I wish i could have had more game time but RL stuff started to take up allot of my time (my woman planning our wedding and used pc all the time). For all my brother kings that actually stayed active big props to you, especially King Alex and King Crazer. It pretty much came down to use 3 in the end. Also Forresto thanks for tying to be on as much as you could.
Rocky, no need to keep talking smack dude, the age is over and we basically let you keep that last city at the end of era for lack of time (notice my army was camping 3 ticks away from your city) LOL. If we would have had about 4 more hours for a merge we would have smoked you like a bong at a collage party. But nice little offensive you put on at the end when i was out running errands lmao. Hats off to you on your little skirmish. Fortunately for you, you was not my #1 enemy.
Lord Acelnosrt, SWEET map bro!! A little off on the taritorys of TAK though, it exstends about midway through the 1st verticl mountan and KOD has the other half of the southern lake, but close enough bro and it looks cool as hell.
Lord EO, you was TAK's best alie and true to your word of alliance. Your a cool dude and hope we see you in Mantraxnext age.
Grats to RedHand, snatching the first spot from us. To all our allies who trusted us till the end, thank you and goodluck next era.
6/24/2007 4:49:01 PM At least in the end i got a purebred Mining city with 500 k income . Thx Esmeralda for stright outta .. you wont get it back :-D.
my Lady. We have returned full command over Stright Outta to Lady Esmerelda Weatherwax.
We killed all of the 12636 troops.
Leave Rocky alone TAK, He is a rear type warrior that loves to battle,He dont take kind to cowards or people who thinks they are above others and cant be touch. Plus at least he comes out and tell you to your face and not say it behind your back . After all he did stand his grounds and kill alot of your men and army and was still standing till the end.
hehe Lady Esmeralda well done .. i thought it was fortified enough to withstand some "trolls".
One thing bugs me ... didnt i left some more soldiers as garrison in there ... 17k or 18k .
Mr. Rocky fights cuz peace scares the hell out of him.
As a member of RS, I am proud that we lasted to the end of this era. It isn't easy being stuck in the middle.


Job Description Hunting – Says You!
Yesterday afternoon I was listening on our local NPR station. I heard a portion of the broadcast that I want to hear again and share. I work for the school system and laughed at this portion. We focus a lot on job skills and I have a collection of interesting job titles that I share with some of the students. I have listened again through the link on the website and did not hear what I was looking for. This portion was defining job duties and was contributed by someone in Tenn. Please help me find this portion. I know that this was a rebroadcast and not a new show.
Because we give priority to public radio stations across the country, we wait until every station has aired Says You! before we post the show online. An episode you hear over the weekend won't play until the following Friday. Subscribe to Says You! on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or anywhere else podcasts are found, to listen to our Nashville repeat (and hear those job skills) as soon as it's released.


At a school patrol crossing with both signs are held out, what must you do?
You are coming up to a school patrol crossing and both signs are held out. What must you do? You are coming up to a school patrol crossing and both signs are held out. What must you do?
School crossings, which are also called kea crossings, are active in the hours when children are travelling to and from school, and occasionally at lunchtime. They are installed around school grounds for both management of children, and also to keep traffic flowing smoothly on busier roads. As they are controlled, the controllers will wait until a number of children have arrived before allowing the group to cross, rather than just have a pedestrian crossing with children crossing as they arrive, which holds up traffic more frequently.
The stop signs provide an added safety feature to protect children that might just step into the crossing without waiting for vehicles to stop for them.
As these crossings are sometimes almost exclusively used by school children, they are infrequently used through the day. Drivers who frequent the route can become used to there never being anyone on the crossing. The additional visibility and the signs make it easier for motorists to see and observe the rules.
If there's no school patrol crossing then the road functions as a normal road. If the kea crossing commandeers a pedestrian crossing, then the pedestrian crossing returns to its normal function once the kea crossing flags and signs are removed.
What features does a kea crossing have?
A kea crossing will be marked 65m in advance by a permanent fluorescent orange children crossing sign. They are the same as those used outside schools warning motorists that pedestrians might be crossing ahead.
Two types of removable signs are used at the crossing itself, but only while in operation. There are two fluorescent orange children crossing flag signs, and two red school patrol stop signs that swing out. These are removed when the crossing is not in operation.
Just as with a pedestrian crossing you are not allowed to pass another vehicle waiting at the crossing.
This diagram, courtesy of NZTA, shows a kea crossing.
In areas where children cross frequently you will often see fluorescent signs like the one below to warn you.


Yoga and mysticism: Not the kind of thing you see much of on Fox News. But, lo! Andrew Harvey appeared on the "Fair & Balanced" network on May 7 to speak about his new book, Heart Yoga: The Sacred Marriage of Yoga and Mysticism.
The great teacher--former professor of religious studies at Oxford, epic spiritual quester, multi-dimensional mystic, and founder of the Institute of Sacred Activism--kept his eyes closed during much of the segment. Maybe this was to maintain inward focus while sharing his vision of helping anyone who practices yoga "taste and feel the divine energies in their bodies."
Or maybe this was to shut out the cluelessness of his host, religion correspondent Lauren Green, who fumbled with her headset, and mmm-hmm, right, mmm-hmmed her way through Harvey's explanation of the chakra system, and bumbled every reference to yoga life ("Most of us in the West are used to a yoga that just helps us to lose weight...is it Brikum? Beerkam?). One wonders what die-hard fans of Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee must have thought of Harvey's explanation that all of creation is "a shattering white diamond light that is actually manifesting the whole cosmos" and that the human body itself is "dancing light consciousness."
Once can only hope that those who tuned into the clip by accident were touched--if only a little--by the profound teachings of a modern master. Tune in by design, and you surely will be.

Measurement is a fundamental component of all forms of research and it is certainly true for research on childhood obesity. A top priority for the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) is to encourage consistent use of high-quality, comparable measures and research methods across childhood obesity prevention and research.
NCCOR's Measures Registry—a free, online repository of articles about measures—helps achieve this aim. It is widely recognized as a key resource that gives researchers and practitioners access to detailed information on measures in one easy-to-search location. The Registry's measures focus on four domains that can influence childhood obesity on a population level:
NCCOR: WORKING TOGETHER TO REVERSE CHILDHOOD OBESITY
NCCOR is a partnership of the four leading funders of childhood obesity research: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). These four leaders joined forces in 2008 to continually assess the needs in childhood obesity research, develop joint projects to address gaps and make strategic advancements, and work together to generate fresh and synergetic ideas to reduce childhood obesity. For more information about NCCOR, visit www.nccor.org.
Even with this resource, however, it can be challenging for users to choose the most appropriate measures for their work. To address this need, NCCOR began the Measures Registry User Guide project in 2015. Organized by the same four domains as the Measures Registry, the User Guides are designed to provide an overview of measurement, describe general principles of measurement selection, present case studies that walk users through the process of using the Measures Registry to select appropriate measures, and direct researchers and practitioners to additional resources and sources of useful information (Figure 1). The User Guides will help move the field forward by fostering more consistent use of measures, which will allow for standardization, meta-analyses, and synthesis.
Figure 1: NCCOR Measures Registry User Guides
This User Guide is specific to individual dietary behaviors, for which a plethora of measures are available. Dietary behavior is complex, and so is its measurement.1 Nonetheless, measuring dietary behaviors can provide extremely useful information. However, due to the varying characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of different measures, and corresponding degrees of appropriateness for particular applications, choosing the most appropriate tool for a given population and purpose can be a challenging task. The goal of this User Guide is to help researchers and practitioners make effective use of the Individual Diet domain within the Measures Registry, as well as complementary resources, to select the best possible measures to conduct population surveillance of dietary behavior, to assess dietary determinants of disease and health outcomes, and to evaluate policy and program interventions. The User Guide also aims to help users consider salient issues related to administration of measures, data analysis, and interpretation and reporting of the resulting findings. The User Guide does not provide a comprehensive summary of each of the measures, an evaluation of the measures, or a compilation of research using the measures, but rather, addresses concepts associated with the measurement of dietary behaviors broadly.
The focus of this User Guide on individual diet differentiates it from the complementary Guide on measures of the food environment. As such, this Guide is aimed at providing guidance on measuring diet among individuals. However, it is important to note that, for the purposes of childhood obesity research, data are typically captured at the level of individuals, but inferences are made at the level of groups or populations. For example, in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), dietary intake data are collected from individuals for the purpose of generating estimates of intake of certain components, such as fruits and vegetables or sugar-sweetened beverages, among different subgroups of the population, as well as examining influences of sociodemographic or other characteristics on dietary behavior.2 The measurement of dietary behavior at the level of individuals for the purposes of clinical assessment or counseling is outside of the scope of this Guide, though measures within the Registry may be applicable to these purposes. It is difficult to characterize the dietary behaviors of a given individual3; however, this is not necessary for research questions related to estimating consumption of particular dietary components in a population or assessing associations between dietary intake and other variables, for example.1
Within the Registry, dietary behavior measures are identified as tools and methods used to assess individuals' diets. For the purpose of this User Guide, methods relate to a particular approach to the collection of dietary behavior (e.g., food frequency questionnaire), and tools refer to a particular measure (e.g., Calcium Food Frequency Questionnaire). Many measures within the Registry reflect tools that are variations on the same method.
In addition to this Introduction, this User Guide includes the following sections:
Section 2. Conceptualizing Individual Diet
provides an overview of dietary behavior, which, for the purpose of this Guide, is defined primarily as dietary intake (e.g., foods, beverages, and supplements consumed by individuals and populations and associated details, such as contextual factors), but also related dietary behaviors (e.g., frequency of snacking, perceptions, and attitudes).
Section 3. Dietary Variables of Relevance to Childhood Obesity
briefly outlines the literature identifying links between diet and childhood obesity, as well as summarizing influences on dietary behavior.
Section 4. Key Considerations in Measuring Dietary Behavior Among Children
provides highlights of concepts relevant to studying diet, including unique considerations regarding the quality of data collected in studies of children.
Section 5. Overview of Individual Diet Measures
provides details on methods and tools used to assess dietary intake and related dietary behaviors, including objective and self-report methods.
Section 6. Evaluating Dietary Behavior Measures
provides an overview of principles related to psychometric properties of measures, along with random and systematic measurement error. Evidence on the error properties of commonly-used measures of dietary behavior is summarized, including considerations related to body mass index.
Section 7. Selecting Measures
outlines questions to consider in the process of determining which measure(s) are the most appropriate for a given study.
Section 8. Considerations for Collecting, Analyzing, Interpreting, and Reporting Data on Individual Diet
outlines factors to consider at various stages of study design and implementation, including strategies to enhance the quality of the data captured.
Section 9. Case Studies
presents potential scenarios to illustrate considerations involved in selecting appropriate measures of dietary behavior for different purposes. Both research- and practice-based examples are given. Considerations include the research aim or question, study design, study population, and specific dietary behaviors of interest.
Section 10. Future Directions in Individual Diet Assessment
provides a brief summary of salient considerations in choosing a dietary behavior measure and highlights ongoing research and developments to areas to advance this area of measurement.
Section 11. Conclusion
Section 12. Additional Resources on Individual Diet Assessment
highlights key complementary websites, literature reviews, and other sources to support rigorous decision making in regard to selecting a dietary behavior measure.

A collaboration among:


The Opposite House, Beijing has released oppositehouse Vol 1, a CD of 10 tracks by some of China's young and talented musicians. This limited edition album was specially created for guests to enjoy in-house and is not for sale. There are also plans in the pipeline to produce oppositehouse Vol 2.
The 10 artists come from different musical backgrounds, but share a common ground of steering away from the mainstream. This album successfully merges China's modern bohemian spirit with traditional Chinese musical instruments, capturing the inspirations of the country's young generation of musicians.
Featured tracks include "8MM" by China's most well known electronic pop band Yu Fei Men (YFM) from Guangzhou and "Design" by Pet Conspiracy fronted by lead vocalist Helen Feng, known for her distinct voice and feisty live acts. YMF is releasing their fifth album this summer, mixed by UK producer Howie B, while Pet Conspiracy has just finished a successful European tour and continues to be one of the hottest live acts in Beijing.
The "Diamond" cover art was designed by Chinese artist George Chang who spent 15 years in New York City and returned to Beijing with vivid visual memories. The co-founder of Redbox Studio Beijing explained that the artwork of gouache and graphite on paper is "an object representing a surreal moment of deja-vu".
General Manager Anthony Ross, believes that "creating this CD featuring these really talented young musicians extends our support for contemporary Chinese art of all kinds. It also adds another dimension to the way we strive to create an all-encompassing lifestyle in Beijing".
Have a listen to the the tracks streaming on the hotel's Soundcloud account.

Q: Find gaps in date ranges - TSQL I have below SQL and I want gaps in below dates.
declare @startdate datetime = '2017-05-01'
declare @enddate datetime = '2017-05-25'

create table #tmpdates (id int, date1 datetime, date2 datetime, rate int)

insert into #tmpdates values (1, '2017-05-05', '2017-05-15', 10)
insert into #tmpdates values (2, '2017-05-16', '2017-05-18', 12)
insert into #tmpdates values (3, '2017-05-21', '2017-05-25', 15)

select * from #tmpdates where date1 >= @startdate and date2 <= @enddate

drop table #tmpdates

So output should contain 2017-05-01 to 2017-05-04 and 2017-05-19 to 2017-05-20 - 2 more records.
Output:
1   5/1/2017 0:00   5/4/2017 0:00   NO DATA
2   5/5/2017 0:00   5/15/2017 0:00  10
3   5/16/2017 0:00  5/18/2017 0:00  12
4   5/19/2017 0:00  5/20/2017 0:00  NO DATA
5   5/21/2017 0:00  5/25/2017 0:00  15

In my above query, only date range record returns.. Please guide or how can I include those too?

A: This works under the assumption that there are no overlapping intervals.
declare @startdate datetime = '2017-05-16'
declare @enddate datetime = '2017-05-26'

create table #tmpdates (id int, date1 datetime, date2 datetime, rate int)

insert into #tmpdates values (0, '2017-04-01', '2017-04-25',22)
insert into #tmpdates values (1, '2017-05-05', '2017-05-15', 10)
insert into #tmpdates values (2, '2017-05-16', '2017-05-18', 12)
insert into #tmpdates values (3, '2017-05-21', '2017-05-25', 15)

declare @final_result table (date1 date, date2 date, rate int)

insert into @final_result

select @startdate,dateadd(day,-1,t.date1),null
from #tmpdates t
where @startdate < t.date1 and
        t.date1 <= (select min(t1.date1) from #tmpdates t1 where t1.date1 >= @startdate)

union all

select date1, date2, rate
from #tmpdates
where (date1 >= @startdate or date2 >= @startdate) and
      (date2 <= @enddate or date1 <= @enddate)

union all

select dateadd(day,1,t.date2),
        ( select dateadd(day,-1,min(t3.date1))
            from #tmpdates t3 where t3.date1 > t.date2) ,
        null
from #tmpdates t
where dateadd(day,1,t.date2) < (select min(t1.date1) from #tmpdates  t1 where t1.date1 > t.date2)
and t.date1 >= @startdate and t.date2 <= @enddate

union all

select dateadd(day,1,max(t.date2)), @enddate, null
from #tmpdates t
having max(t.date2) < @enddate

drop table #tmpdates

select * from @final_result order by date1

EDIT
It collects data from four queries and does a union all.
The first query:
select @startdate,dateadd(day,-1,t.date1),null
from #tmpdates t
where @startdate < t.date1 and
        t.date1 <= (select min(t1.date1) from #tmpdates t1 where t1.date1 >= @startdate)

Selects the gap between the @startdate and the first (smallest) date in the table, if there are intervals before the @startdate they are ignored. So it selects the gap, if there's any, from @startdate to the first date of the interval that is greater than @startdate.
The second query:
select date1, date2, rate
from #tmpdates
where (date1 >= @startdate or date2 >= @startdate) and
      (date2 <= @enddate or date1 <= @enddate)

Selects the records from the table (non-gaps). If the @startdate falls between the range, that record is included. Same happens with the @enddate parameter.
The third query:
select dateadd(day,1,t.date2),
        ( select dateadd(day,-1,min(t3.date1))
            from #tmpdates t3 where t3.date1 > t.date2) ,
        null
from #tmpdates t
where dateadd(day,1,t.date2) < (select min(t1.date1) from #tmpdates  t1 where t1.date1 > t.date2)
and t.date1 >= @startdate and t.date2 <= @enddate

selects gaps between the smallest and the largest (that fall between @startdate and @enddate) intervals on the table.
And finally the fourth query:
select dateadd(day,1,max(t.date2)), @enddate, null
from #tmpdates t
having max(t.date2) < @enddate

Selects the gap between the largest date (the largest between @startdate and @enddate) on the table and @enddate, if there's a gap.
All these records are inserted into the @final_result table, so that they can be ordered by interval.

A: Please make use of below Query:
DECLARE @STARTDATE DATE = '2017-05-01'
DECLARE @ENDDATE DATE = '2017-05-25'

DECLARE @DATES TABLE (ID INT, DATE1 DATE, DATE2 DATE, RATE INT)

INSERT INTO @DATES VALUES
(1, '2017-05-05', '2017-05-15', 10),
(2, '2017-05-16', '2017-05-19', 12),
(3, '2017-05-21', '2017-05-25', 15)

SELECT* FROM
(
    SELECT @STARTDATE AS DATE1,DATEADD(DAY,-1,MIN(DATE1)) AS DATE2,'NO DATA'AS RATE FROM @DATES
    UNION
    SELECT
    CASE WHEN
            LEAD(DATE1) OVER (ORDER BY DATE1) = DATEADD(DAY,1,DATE2) THEN NULL
            ELSE DATEADD(DAY,1,DATE2) END AS DATE1,
    CASE WHEN
            LEAD(DATE1) OVER (ORDER BY DATE1) = DATEADD(DAY,1,DATE2) THEN NULL
            ELSE LEAD(DATEADD(DAY,-1,DATE1)) OVER (ORDER BY DATE1) END AS DATE2,
    'NO DATA'AS RATE
    FROM @DATES d
    UNION
    SELECT DATE1, DATE2,CAST(RATE AS NVARCHAR(10)) FROM @DATES
    UNION
    SELECT DATEADD(DAY,1,MAX(DATE2)) AS DATE1,@ENDDATE AS DATE2,'NO DATA'AS RATE FROM @DATES
) A WHERE A.DATE2 IS NOT NULL AND A.DATE1 <= A.DATE2
  AND DATE1 >= @STARTDATE AND DATE2 <=@ENDDATE
ORDER BY A.DATE1

A: You can try below code. Am traversing from @StartDate till @endDate and finding the gaps.
declare @startdate datetime = '2017-05-01'
declare @enddate datetime = '2017-05-04'
declare @startdate1 datetime, @enddate1 datetime
declare @dates table (date1 date,date2 date)
create table #tmpdates (id int, date1 datetime, date2 datetime, rate int)

insert into #tmpdates values (1, '2017-05-05', '2017-05-15', 10)
insert into #tmpdates values (2, '2017-05-16', '2017-05-18', 12)
insert into #tmpdates values (3, '2017-05-21', '2017-05-25', 15)

select * from #tmpdates where date1 >= @startdate and date2 <= @enddate
set @startdate1=@startdate
while @startdate1<=@enddate
begin
     if not exists(select 1 from #tmpdates where @startdate1 between date1 and date2)
     begin
          if not exists (select 1 from @dates where @startdate1 > date1 and date2 is null)
          begin
               insert into @dates(date1)values(@startdate1)
          end
          else
          begin
               if @startdate1+1>=@enddate
               begin
                   update @dates set date2=@startdate1 where date2 is null
               end
               set @startdate1+=1
          end
     end
     else
     begin
         update @dates set date2=@startdate1-2 where date2 is null
     end
     set @startdate1+=1
end
select * from
(select date1,date2, rate from #tmpdates
union
select *,0  as rate from @dates
) A WHERE date1>=@startdate and date2<=@enddate
drop table #tmpdates
