Dead by Daylight Cheats
Bossmode offers the best variety of cheats for Dead by Daylight. Download hacks such as Aimbot, ESP (wallhacks), teleportation plus much more.
Dead by Daylight is a popular horror-themed multiplayer game, but like any online game, it has its fair share of players who use cheats to gain an unfair advantage. In this article, we will discuss some of the most popular cheats for Dead by Daylight, including aimbot, wallhacks, and more.
An aimbot is a type of cheat that automatically aims and shoots for the player. This can give players a significant advantage in combat, as they don't have to worry about aiming themselves and can simply focus on moving and dodging. Aimbots are often detectable by anti-cheat systems, but some players still use them and risk being banned.
Wallhacks
A wallhack is a cheat that allows players to see through walls and other objects in the game world. This can give players a huge advantage in both combat and stealth situations, as they can easily see the locations and movements of other players even when they are hidden. Like aimbots, wallhacks are often detectable by anti-cheat systems and can result in a ban if caught.
Other Cheats
In addition to aimbots and wallhacks, there are a variety of other cheats that players use in Dead by Daylight. Some examples include speedhacks, which allow players to move faster than normal; no-clip, which allows players to pass through walls and other objects; and esp, which displays information about other players, such as their names, health, and locations, on the screen.

12 Demonstrate that monitors and semaphores are equivalent insofar as they can be used to implement the same types of synchronization problems. wait(); value--; } } A monitor could be implemented using a semaphore in the following manner. Each condition variable is represented by a queue of threads waiting for the condition. Each thread has a semaphore associated with its queue entry. When a thread performs a wait operation, it creates a new semaphore (initialized to zero), appends the semaphore to the queue associated with the condition variable, and performs a blocking semaphore decrement operation on the newly created semaphore.
It could use a large fraction of its assigned quantum, but relinquish the CPU before the end of the quantum, thereby increasing the priority associated with the process. 9 Consider a preemptive priority scheduling algorithm based on dynamically changing priorities. Larger priority numbers imply higher priority. When a process is waiting for the CPU (in the ready queue, but not running), its priority changes at a rate ␣; when it is running, its priority changes at a rate ␤. All processes are given a priority of 0 when they enter the ready queue.
Such a scheduling policy could however starve long-running tasks and thereby increase their waiting time. • I/O device utilization and CPU utilization: CPU utilization is maximized by running long-running CPU-bound tasks without performing context switches. I/O device utilization is maximized by scheduling I/O-bound jobs as soon as they become ready to run, thereby incurring the overheads of context switches. 3 Consider the exponential average formula used to predict the length of the next CPU burst.


I first experienced Brazilian music subliminally when I was growing up in Lagos in the early 1980s. From his business trips to Rio de Janeiro, my father brought back videotapes of Carnival. My siblings and I were astonished by the spectacle of floats, feather headdresses and scantily clad bodies, but the samba that propelled the spectacle was there too, pulsing in the background. With college in the US came knowledge of bossa nova, at first through the ubiquitous Stan Getz and João Gilberto recording, and then from compilations during the 'world music' craze. Later on I visited Brazil and began to learn more – about MPB (música popular brasileira), choro, Candomblé, Tropicalismo, and the new electronic and funk subgenres – and the more I learned, the more there was to learn.
Is there a single characteristic that unites all Brazilian music? Perhaps not, but when I listen, I do sense a tilt, a feeling of the ground pitching underfoot, and I suspect that this slight unsteadiness is related to the openness of Brazilian Portuguese, the specific combination of cultures in the country, the openness to the international scene and the intelligent use of syncopated rhythms in all genres.
Regina, a generation younger than Barbosa, is thought by many to be perhaps the greatest Brazilian voice of all. She was outrageously talented, bringing both power and control to the music in a way that reminds one of Aretha Franklin or Ella Fitzgerald, and her untimely death in 1982, at the age of thiry-six, was a shock for her multitudinous fans.
Cartola, born poor to a black family in Rio de Janeiro, pioneered a form of samba characterized by slow rhythms and a proper use of Portuguese. He was prolific in the 30s and 40s, but fell out of the public eye until he was rediscovered, the story goes, by a journalist at a car wash in 1956. The revival didn't really last: when he died, at the age of seventy-eight, he had fallen into neglect again. Leci Brandão, his duet partner here, described on one of her album sleeves as 'mulher, negra e homossexual,' has had a more consistent career as a singer of politically inflected MPB. This recording catches her in her early days, in the 70s. The singing is tender and unaffected, the instrumentation subtle (I particularly like the flute), and the song itself, 'Deixa Pra Lá' ('Nevermind'), with its repeated refrain, is one to which I return to time and again. The video is a plus too, all shadow and close-ups.
Who is the famous Brazilian musician? MPB star Roberto Carlos was wildly popular in Brazil itself, and Vinícius de Moraes, Tom Jobim, and João Gilberto, the bossa nova innovators, have imperishable profiles. But the best known Brazilian singer on the international scene in the past few years is probably Caetano Veloso. With his good looks, androgynous voice, immense intellect and unerring musical instinct, he's a god to most lovers of Brazilian music. After more than thirty albums in countless genres – constant experimentation is the core of the Tropicalismo he helped develop–the real problem is choosing just one Caetano Veloso song. Though I was tempted to include something from his strident phase in the late 60s, I've recently been listening to his acoustic version of the widely-performed classic, 'Eu Sei que Vou Te Amar'('I Know I'll Love You'), composed by Vinícius and Jobim. This song sidesteps the irony and displacement present on some of Caetano's other performances. It is bossa nova at its most achingly sensuous, its most romantic and moving.
Like Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa is from Bahia, in Brazil's northeast, the region that most powerfully retains the country's African influence. She was also a pioneer in the Tropicalismo scene, and an early collaborator with Veloso in Salvador de Bahia. 'Flor de Maracujá' praises the flower of the passion fruit, one of Brazil's most distinctive fruits, and favourite of many a caipirinha drinker. The instrumentation is a crush of influences: rock, funk, big band, a mid-70s brew that includes electric guitars, synthesizers, a full horn section and call and response vocals in the background. It is optimistic, expansive, fast, but underneath it all there is also a melancholy. It's probably just my imagination, but I think Gal Costa's beautifully modulated falsetto gives a hint of the defiance and sadness of those years in Brazil, years of military dictatorship and uncertainty.
Having gained a measure of local fame in Rio de Janeiro in the late 90s for his singing and acting, Seu Jorge came to worldwide attention in 2002 with his performance in Fernando Meirelles's acclaimed film of favela life, City of God. His subsequent career took him in an unexpected direction, far from his own violent favela childhood. An appearance in a Wes Anderson film led to the release of his album of intriguingly odd David Bowie covers, translated into Portuguese and sung in his distinctively rough-hewn baritone with only an acoustic guitar backing and a hipsterish, DIY feel. The stripped-down acoustic continued on his album Cru (2005), which featured more of his own writing, including 'Tive Razão' ('I Was Right'), a modern samba de morro made with the simplest ingredients: guitar, voice and cuíca (friction drum).
The club scene is brilliant in Brazil, and the most popular genre at the moment is baile funk or, as it is known in Rio, carioca funk. I like it for its scattered beats and political volatility, but I'm drawn even more strongly to an older genre: drum and bass, one of the top exponents of which is São Paulo's Marco Antonio Silva, aka DJ Marky. In a track like Carolina Carol Bela, he finds poignant source material (a 1969 bossa nova classic by Jorge Ben and Toquinho), alters it electronically and lays an irresistible beat on it. The result is not so different from what gets the crowd going in Ibiza or in London, but DJ Marky brings a Brazilian sensibility to the genre. He really should be experienced over the course of an hour or two, as a DJ's art is all about transitions and the arc of a long set. An extended spell of DJ Marky's music is somewhat like São Paulo itself: massive architectonic variations on a proliferating series of themes. In its relentlessness, it is a picture of the way we live now. It has taken everything in, cannibalized everything, and out of the ingested past made something genuinely new.

How IoT and controlled environment growing address the challenges of urbanization and climate change.
The next agricultural revolution is already underway, based on the Internet of Things (IoT).
With the global population urbanizing at a staggering pace, bringing food to cities is increasingly understood as a major carbon emitter. By 2050, the world will be home to 9 billion people, with 70% of this number living in urban areas. One solution is indoor farming utilizing smart technologies, such as IoT. Not only does it enable small areas to produce outsized crop yields, it can also address issues of water use and greenhouse gas emissions.
IoT involves sensors that track metrics such as soil moisture, air temperature and humidity, and these sensors have become very affordable. They push data into front-ends which enable instant analysis and action by software and small teams of growers. By being able to track everything from inputs, crop stages and yields, this data can help growers react in real-time or pinpoint areas for improvement the following season. The ensuing efficiency and yield improvements can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, heavy machinery and GMOs.
Agriculture accounts for 10% of Canadian greenhouse gases, which pales in comparison to the 24% emitted by the transportation sector. However, much "transport" is in fact agriculture. Many environmentally conscious stores now provide information on the distances food items travelled right alongside the price tag so consumers transparently understand a good's provenance.
For mass-market goods, the distances travelled from farm to table can be staggering – an average of 2,000 km for domestically produced goods in the US. Though a comparable Canadian statistic is unavailable ("quantification of Canada's GHG emissions associated with each step in the national food system has not been done" according to the Canadian Zero Waste Council), this is a perfect illustration of how large carbon footprints can be for goods shipped within the same nation.
Urbanization means that the world needs to make more with less, but also needs to do it closer to home. This is not only good for the environment but aligns with consumers' preferences for fresh locally-sourced produce. To survive long journeys, more preservatives and less vine-ripened foods mean less taste and nutritional content. In an era of technological advancement, it seems perverse that the food we feed our children is of worse quality than what we ourselves ate in our childhoods. Local greenhouse and vertical farming operations are already changing that, but we can take it one step further with IoT.
As well as greenhouse gas emissions, traditional farming is massively inefficient with water. Agriculture accounts for around 70% of global water use and contributes to water pollution from excess nutrients, pesticides and other pollutants which can be minimized in controlled indoor environments. Most of this water is superfluous as it runs down to subsoil or evaporates.
Water usage can be reduced by 90% using drip-irrigation technology which prevents water being wasted on subsoil and roofs that reduce evaporation. This is achieved through automated, precise control of irrigation guided by real-time data from IoT sensors. While fresh water is plentiful in Canada, in many other countries it is the most acutely challenged natural resource. Additionally, indoor farming helps insulate production from weather events which are increasingly unpredictable due to climate change. While traditional agriculture can only involve two or three crop cycles a year because of the seasons, indoor farming can work perennially in any geography, producing a dozen or more crop cycles a year for some varietals.
According to IBM "Today, the sector of the economy with the lowest IT intensity is farming, where IT accounts for just 1 percent of all capital spending. Here the potential impact of the IoT is enormous. Farming is capital and technology intensive, but it is not yet information intensive". Change is underway and is best exemplified by The Netherlands. Using indoor farming with high levels of technological adoption and 24-hour cultivation in computer-controlled environments, this small European country the size of Kentucky – but with a vastly denser population – has become the world's number two exporter of food by value, behind only the United States, which is 270 times bigger.
The Netherlands achieves this by its national commitment to sustainable agriculture under the banner "Twice as much food using half as many resources." Dutch farmers have reduced their dependence on water by nearly 90 percent and almost completely eliminated the use of chemical pesticides. The Netherlands seen from the air is an amazing sight – a patchwork of intensely cultivated fields amid densely populated cities and towns. Almost as visible as the fields are massive greenhouse complexes, some covering 175 acres.
These climate-controlled farms enable a cold European country to be a global leader even in exports of warm-weather fruits like the tomato. While many Canadian greenhouses have climate sensors, IoT closes the gap between sensing and acting upon that data. As well as making data lead to automatic actions such as optimizing heating and ventilation, IoT allows for analyses which can increase yields in the long run. Alongside educating consumers to make better choices, innovation has to become the global norm to feed the world's growing population in an environmentally sustainable way.

Rollei Rolleimatic: From the Mind of Waaske*
* Years ago, a certain camera maker used to proclaim: "From the mind of Minolta." In this case, it really makes sense. Heinz Waaske had very innovative ideas for camera design.
One of the more unusual cameras to bear the Rollei name was the Rolleimatic. It's a camera that you don't see often. I wouldn't describe it as rare, but rather say that it's uncommon.
The Rolleimatic has a look and feel to it that sets it apart from most junk that typified the 1980s amateur point-and-shoot market. It's a handsome camera with rounded edges and decked out in black with white lettering, 1980s-style orange buttons and a polished chrome ring at the base of the lens. It reminds me a bit of a tuxedo with a little bit of extra verve!
If half of what you read on the Internet is true, then this camera has an unusual history to it.
The Rolleimatic was designed by Heinz Waaske, a camera designer who did a great deal of work for Wirgin. Waaske seemed to specialize in creating smaller cameras that also could be described as minimalist. They didn't have unnecessary features, dials or knobs to baffle the photographer when the "decisive" moment arrived.
How he came to work at Rollei is a great story. In paraphrasing everything that's been written, the story goes like this:
While at Wirgin, he worked in his spare time on his idea for what would become the Rollei 35. When he showed it to one of the co-owners of Wirgin -- who had helped to machine some of the parts -- the co-owner was unimpressed to the point of becoming enraged, yelling at him and eventually retiring and shutting down the Wirgin camera company.
It's the only time that I've heard that a prototype for a camera angered someone so much that it was a cause for a company to go out of business.
Waaske presented his idea to Leitz and later to Kodak, and was turned away by both. Waaske then joined Rollei and worked on various camera projects. He had been a bit gun shy because his idea for his miniature camera for the "miniature" format had now been rejected by three well-known camera makers. However, one day he shared his idea with the head of Rollei who immediately fell in love with it, and the rest is history with some two million Rollei 35 cameras sold over the next 20+ years.
I'm very impressed with the other Rollei projects in which Waaske was involved -- reportedly the Rolleiflex SL 26, the A110/E110, A26 and the Rolleimatic. The Rolleimatic also has the distinction of being Waaske's final camera for Rollei. It was released to the market after Waaske had left the camera maker. It didn't much matter, though, because it's his work through and through.
About that flap
The Rolleimatic's most distinctive feature is the front panel, which can be seen sitting at an angle in the photo at the top of this page. In addition to extending and collapsing the lens, the front panel also tensions the shutter and advances the film. As a result, the top deck is very clean with just a rewind crank, hot shoe and shutter release. I'll explain that other orange button -- the one that's on the front of the camera -- in a bit.
The lens is slightly wide angle at 38mm. This focal length was very popular for smaller cameras, starting in the mid-1970s. The instruction guide says that this Rolleinar is four elements in three groups, which I believe makes it a Tessar-type lens. Its maximum aperture is f/2.8, and the camera's ASA range is a bit limited (25 to 400), which puts it squarely into the amateur category.
The photos from this camera have a Tessar look to them. At wide apertures, when shooting close up, backgrounds have a roundness to them that is typical of a Tessar. At smaller apertures, things smooth out a bit, and photos are very sharp.
But why not a Sonnar? I don't know. Maybe it was a matter of cost. Regardless, a Tessar-type lens can be excellent. I should mention that the much-simpler A26 camera that took 126 Instamatic film had a Sonnar, while the SL 26 (an SLR) had a Tessar, although the reasons for that have to do with the SL 26 having accessory Pro-Tessar lenses.
The camera uses pictograms as the primary means for focusing with the distance scale engraved on the bottom of the lens barrel. That means that you have to turn the camera upside down, if you would prefer to set the distance by feet or meters rather than using the symbols. I would have liked the ability to rotate the lens barrel so that the lens scale is on top, but alas that wasn't an option.
Again, I should point out that the A26 mentioned above uses the identical method for focusing. And the A26 also has a retracting lens. Internet postings say the Rolleimatic was originally designed to use 126 Instamatic film -- and its name certainly reflects that -- before being was changed to 35mm.
The back is locked in place by a clasp that snaps into place to prevent accidental opening of the back. It's different from other cameras that require the photographer to pull up on the rewind crank. It seems to be secure, although I wonder when the clasp will accidentally catch on a piece of clothing and ... oops.
The frame counter is on the bottom -- sort of like the Rollei 35. One nice touch is that the frame counter doesn't move if the film isn't loaded properly. This is a feature on several Rollei SL 35 models. The rewind button is actually a switch on the bottom of the camera, and it's complemented by a plastic rewind crank on the top deck. The bottom deck also holds the tripod socket and the threaded metal battery cover.
The film-speed slider is on the left, while the flash aperture slider is to the right. For autoexposure, push the slider to the red A.
Film speeds are set by a slider on the back. And if you're shooting flash, you move the slider on the right to the correct aperture that should be indicated on the back of the flash unit. Doing so sets the shutter speed to 1/30. There is no provision for off-camera flash or bulb flash. Again, it's an amateur camera.
Oddly enough, the manual warns against setting intermediate film speeds even though there are click stops that allow the photographer to do just that. For example, for ASA64 film, it recommends rounding down to 50. For ASA160, it recommends setting it at 200. I'm baffled by this, because there are marks between 25-50-100-200-400 that would allow for setting those speeds, as you can see.
There is a small window on the left side of the back door to allow the photographer to see what kind of film is loaded. It's a nice touch for a camera from 1980 when this feature wasn't in wide use.
Like nearly all European cameras (including those made for Rollei in Singapore), it doesn't use light-blocking foam. That means that getting this camera into shooting shape was limited to a thorough cleaning of the body and careful cleaning of the optics plus a new battery to see that all systems were go. That was it.
About that flap, revisited
Loading the film is a bit fiddly, because you must insert the leader under one of the tiny flanges that surrounds the somewhat fat take-up spool. It took me a couple of tries to get it right. Close the back, and slide the front panel outward to reveal the lens. Now, push down on the end with the scallop and the lens extends. Depress the flap twice, fire the shutter and repeat until "1" appears and is centered in the frame counter window.
To advance the film to the next frame, depress the flap twice, remembering to push it flat against the body. After taking a photo, repeat the procedure. When you're ready to retract the lens for storage, depress the small orange button on the end of the flap while pressing the flap. It's easier than it sounds. Pushing the small square button moves a small arm under the flap, which engages the gearing to retract the lens. The mechanism under the multipurpose front panel seems a bit complex -- a bit too much for my taste. I wouldn't handle this camera too roughly.
The front of the body has a diamond pattern, as does the multipurpose panel, to give your fingers something to grip, and it's quite effective. The owner's manual mentions that you can use your body to brace the camera if you need to advance the film using just one hand. It specifically mentions if you are piloting a glider!
The construction of the Rolleimatic is a mix of metal and plastic. It's a substantial camera in terms of its weight. I wouldn't call it heavy, but it weighs more than you might expect. The build quality is very good.
The camera's programmed autoexposure is powered by a 6-volt PX28 cell or equivalent. And the meter uses a modern silicon cell, rather than CdS (cadmium sulfide), which had supplanted the batteryless selenium cell and by the 1980s was on its way out. The PX28 battery is easy to find today. Keep in mind that without a battery, you have no meter and, hence, no autoexposure, although you can improvise with a single manual speed of 1/30 and manually selected apertures of f/2.8 to f/16.
To conserve power, the camera's electronics and meter are activated only if the shutter has been tensioned, the lens extended and the panel is flush against the body. All three conditions must be met. That means, if you put the camera away with the shutter tensioned, the lens extended and panel flush against the body and something resting on the shutter release, you have only yourself to blame if the battery is then run down.
The viewfinder is spartan: There are the frame lines (no parallax indicators) and two LEDs to the left. One is green and the other is red. They help to indicate whether there is sufficient light and whether the battery has sufficient power. The range of the programmed exposure is very impressive: 1/500 at f/16 down to 4 seconds at f/2.8.
There is a 10-second electronic self-timer switch next to the lens. Slide the switch down, press the shutter release and the small red LED above the switch flashes until the shutter is released. Moving the switch to off during the countdown cycle causes the shutter to fire immediately. You can always switch off the self-timer before pressing the shutter release, should you change your mind.
The camera uses a Rollei 35-style connector for the wrist strap, so if you have a spare Rollei 35 wrist strap, it attaches easily to the Rolleimatic.
The boxed set included the plastic flock-lined case, the camera, a battery and the owner's manual. I'm not sure if there was a case or wrist strap included with the package, as they're listed as accessories in the owner's manual.

Why Delta Air Strains Took On The Boeing 767
Home » Why Delta Air Strains Took On The Boeing 767
On the flip of the 1980s, Delta Air Strains was seeking to develop on intermediate and transcontinental routes. Due to this fact, it wanted the suitable plane to assist it increase. Nonetheless, the scenario was not so easy on the time, and the service's staff helped it considerably to tackle its first Boeing 767.

A loyal buyer
The Atlanta-based service has flown all Boeing 767 models, together with the -200, -300, 300ER, and -400ER. Notably, it additionally operates the world's largest fleet of the sort.
The Delta Flight Museum highlights a number of pull elements of the preliminary 767-200 that Delta sought within the 1980s. The snug widebody inside got here with quieter and 30% extra fuel-efficient expertise than the operator's current long-haul models. Furthermore, the brand new superior wing design provided a extra environment friendly elevate for a sooner climb to cruising altitude. The brand new digital glass cockpit with 40 computer systems was additionally an thrilling prospect.
Nonetheless, one of many key options was that the flight deck held an analogous design to the Boeing 757. Due to this fact, beneath FAA guidelines, pilots who operated the 767 may additionally fly the 757 with out going by way of extra coaching. Subsequently, later that decade, Delta turned the primary service to fly each jets.
Just like the Boeing 767, the Boeing 757 additionally stays as a part of Delta's fleet as we speak. Picture: Getty Photographs

An organization effort
Nonetheless, the acquisition of the 767 wasn't so clean crusing. America was going by way of a troubled economic system, and the aviation trade was coping with the affect of deregulation and excessive gasoline costs. Most importantly, for the primary time in over three a long time, Delta posted a loss.
Regardless of the difficult local weather, Delta's staff discovered a option to come collectively and help the airline. To indicate their appreciation, they raised $30 million by way of the mixed donations of employees members, associates, and retirees. This marketing campaign turned referred to as Challenge 767.
So, on December 15th, 1982, over 7,000 staff, associates, and media members gathered collectively at Delta's Technical Operations Heart to current the service with its first Boeing 767. Ship 102 was given the moniker of The Spirit of Delta and shortly took off for its first service, which was a flight to Tampa, Florida.
The arrival of the Boeing 767 was a joyous event for all of these at Delta Air Strains. Picture: Delta Flight Museum
Valued asset
This unit would fly excessive with the airline for over 20 years. Notably, alongside the best way, it was painted in distinctive livery to mark the 1996 Olympics in Delta's house of Atlanta, Georgia. Furthermore, it had one other coating in 2004 to have fun Delta's 75th anniversary. The airplane was finally retired on February 12th, 2006.

In keeping with a press launch seen by Easy Flying, amid the airplane's retirement, former Delta CEO Gerald Grinstein spoke concerning the unit's affect through the years. He highlighted that the jet is extra than simply an plane because it represents the entire firm.
"More than 20 years ago, Delta people defined our company's culture — one that would include teamwork and dedication to seeing the company through difficult times in pursuit of making our airline the best in the world," Grinstein stated within the launch.
"Though our industry has changed considerably since 1982, these same characteristics remain as Delta people work to build a strong, profitable, competitive company based on a vision of shared future success. While The Spirit of Delta will not fly again after this tour, I believe the spirit of Delta people can and will."
The Spirit of Delta has undoubtedly left a legacy. Picture: Delta Flight Museum
Additional wants
Delta additionally took on the 767-300 and have become the primary airline within the US to take action when the airplane was launched in December 1986. The primary flight with the stretched version of the 767 was between Atlanta and Miami. This variant was 20% extra fuel-efficient and carried 25% extra cargo than its older sibling.
Altogether, the operator took it on for medium and long-haul routes which have excessive demand. Due to this fact, the airplane was quickly deployed to the likes of Florida and the Bahamas from New England, New York, and Montreal. It additionally loved success on different home and worldwide routes throughout the Americas all through the years.
Delta had extra necessities in the direction of the tip of the 1980s. It was in search of appropriate options for its transatlantic operations. Subsequently, in September 1988, the airline selected to tackle the Boeing 767-300ER for its journeys throughout the Atlantic Ocean.
Service with the prolonged vary model started in 1990, marking the start of a global takeover with the variant. As an example, in 1996, the service started to retire its Lockheed L-1011 transatlantic plane to home operations, and the planes had been changed by the -300ER. A decade later, the model was dealing with many of the operator's transatlantic and South American flights.
In 1997, Delta was additionally the launch buyer for the 767-400. The airline took it on as a part of its ongoing efforts to part out its L-1011s. There have been improved electrical and air-conditioning programs with the airplane. Moreover, it had elevated takeoff weight, together with raked wingtips, which elevated effectivity.
The service obtained its first unit of the variant in August 2000. The model would go on to function the L-1011's high-capacity home routes earlier than increasing throughout the skies.

A altering trade
2006 was the start of a collection of shakeups for Delta's 767s. Flights with the -200 stopped that yr, and in 2019, the final of the airline's home -300 fleet retired in the summertime of 2019. Furthermore, this yr, the airline shared that it has set out plans to retire all of its 767-300ERs by December 2025. Altogether, the service presently holds 75 767s inside its fleet, in response to Planespotters.internet.
The kind has undoubtedly been a incredible servant for Delta over the a long time. It continues to be an necessary workhorse even as we speak, because of its reliability on routes throughout each the continent and abroad.

Wellington Phoenix striker Roy Krishna has given up taking penalties after costing his side a vital win against Newcastle Jets last weekend.
Krishna has been riding the wave of a successful season in front of goal for Phoenix, notching up 11 goals and putting himself in second spot for the Golden Boot, behind Adam Le Fondre on 12.
But his performance from the spot has been underwhelming, and his miss against the Jets – his seventh from 13 – was a crushing blow.
The save from the spot by Jets keeper (and Krishna's former team-mate) Glen Moss in the 87th minute condemned the New Zealand side to just a share of the points.
And it was reminiscent of Krishna's previous miss against the Jets in 2015, when his penalty blunder denied Wellington a draw.
Now coach Mark Rudan has revealed the Fijian has hung up his spotkick boots.
"Roy has declared himself unavailable for penalties, going forward," said Rudan after training in Auckland today, ahead of their clash with Melbourne Victory at Eden Park.
"I don't work on penalties. It's not something that is an important part of the game as far as I'm concerned. It's something the players choose to do with their extras.
"Some work on it, some don't. Roy is always on top of it, which kind of disappoints me even more because he does work a lot on taking penalties.
"But I don't care. For me it is normally a good sign of who decides to go straight for the ball up and picks the ball up. It''s all about confidence.
"Anyone can step up, whether it's a goalkeeper or a striker, I don't really care. All I care about is that ball hitting the back of the net – and we need to do it."

It is quite common to have all three combined.
The most common corneal infections are herpes simplex and those caused by contact lenses.
The most common non-traumatic/non-infectious shape problem is called keratoconus. This is a familial, progressive thinning and warping of the cornea, which initially requires rigid contact lenses and ultimately, in many cases, a corneal transplant.
The most common non-infectious/non-traumatic opacity is called Fuchs' dystrophy. This is also an inherited disease that causes progressive thickening and haziness. Salt drops can be of some benefit, but the condition can also lead to corneal transplantation.
Recurrent erosions. With erosions, the surface comes partially off due to previous trauma or a genetic dystrophy of the cornea.
Dr. Steiner performs penetrating keratoplasty, which is a traditional, full thickness, corneal transplant. This is often done for keratoconus or scarring. He also performs two newer partial thickness transplant techniques; These are Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK)and Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK). DSAEK and DMEK are are used when only the back or posterior layer of the cornea is involved. Fuch's Dystrophy is the most common condition that benefits from these surgerys. But other diseases that affect the posterior layer (Descemets and Endothelium) and those causing corneal edema can benefit from DSAEK or DMEK, as well.

Review: Tony Benn: "Will and Testament"
I owe Tony Benn a great deal. While he was Minister for Technology between 1966 and 1970, Mr. Benn created a British equivalent to IBM, International Computers Limited. Although its history was not trouble free, it was a success story; it was there that I began my working life after I graduated from University. It was there also that I was first introduced to the internet. In short, it was my experiences at ICL that enabled me to build my career and the interesting life that followed. Without Tony Benn, it's entirely possible that I could have begun my journey at another point, but that's not what happened. Tony Benn was a champion of modern technology, and thanks to him being the person that he was, I am the person that I am today. He encouraged me.
It was with this debt in mind that I went to see the cinematic précis of his life, "Will and Testament". I had seen the build up to this film via social media: while I was certain it would be an excellent tribute, I wasn't entirely sure what form it would take. In the main, documentaries tend to be somewhat staid affairs, their interest lay mostly in the material they present rather than the cinematography. "Will and Testament" is quite different: we are first shown a close-up of Tony Benn's gentle visage as he stands by the shore on a grey day. He is old, but his eyes are clear and just underneath a layer of calm and tenderness is his obvious determination. We are shown other images: we see his home in Holland Park with its red front door slightly ajar. We see a virtual study, a façade with a fireplace and a variety of newspaper front pages hanging from the ceiling: they are the monuments to the media's view of him, referring to him as the "most dangerous man in Britain" among other denigrating epithets. We are shown a representation of Benn's office: the lights are somewhat dim, the state of the office is somewhat disheveled and dusty. There is a model Concorde on his desk, a small Union flag, an old fashioned tape recorder, and a mug with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament symbol and the legend "Make Tea Not War".
With this stage set, we are taken through his life with the help of photographs and film clips. First, we're informed that his radicalism did not come from nowhere, his mother, for example, campaigned for the ordination of women. Benn's convictions, we're told, stem from a belief that all political questions are moral questions, and there is invariably a right and a wrong answer. He was taught that the Bible was full of struggles between prophets and kings, with the prophets always taking the side of righteousness. It was this side that Benn was encouraged to take.
Benn learned to fear and loathe war early in life; he saw it up close as a boy and while serving in the Royal Air Force during World War Two. This service was often unappreciated and forgotten: indeed, when he criticised the needless waste of the Falklands War in the House of Commons, Mrs. Thatcher suggested that he owed his freedom to speak to those who had fought for it.
It was the war that inspired him to go into politics, though it was not a particularly easy path for him: he inherited a peerage and had to campaign in order to be able to renounce it. From that point on, it could be said he was in opposition to the established order even when he became a government Minister.
The film presents some fascinating "what ifs". One of the most intriguing is what may have happened if Benn had continued as Minister for Energy. He was responsible for the creation of Britain's oil industry, and thanks to his efforts the UK reaped the benefit of what lay beneath the North Sea. However, Labour lost the 1979 general election and it was Margaret Thatcher who cashed in. Rather than save the money (as Benn intended) or invest it in modernising British industry (as Benn also wanted), she used oil revenues to fund unemployment benefit (after she caused British manufacturing to collapse) and tax breaks for the well off. We suffer from this legacy today; one of the questions which animates the Scottish independence movement is what precisely happened to the endowment that Benn arranged for them.
Another intriguing "what if" stems from Benn's ideas on re-organising British industry. I suspect that his vision of full blown "workers control of factories" was probably a pipe dream, but a more collaborative model, as exists in Germany today, was definitely possible. Perhaps such a system would have had the same positive effects on British industry as it did on Germany's and Japan's.
The most moving part of the film covers the period just after he became MP for Chesterfield. This was at the time of the Miners' Strike and his new constituency was directly affected by the turmoil. His response to the threatened extermination of the coal industry by Thatcher's government may have been the culmination of his career: it brought together his compassion for the working class, his experience with the energy industry (he stated clearly that coal will be required when the oil runs out) and his tireless radicalism. We see the police beat miners with truncheons: this footage brought out gasps and sobs from the audience at the showing I attended. Benn forcefully spoke out for the miners at every opportunity, locking arms and marching with them in public shows of support. His dedication to the cause was obviously appreciated in the aftermath: in perhaps the film's most beautiful scene, we are shown the annual service of remembrance for the Durham miners, which takes place at Durham's gothic Cathedral. The miners carry colourful banners as part of the procession which represent their history and their heroes: among them was a deep crimson standard which featured Benn as one of their icons.
The film shows that Benn feared becoming a "national treasure", i.e. someone respected but not taken entirely seriously. His kindly nature did lend itself to making him into the nation's radical grandfather, who would espouse socialism as the answer in between being served the sprouts and the turkey during Sunday dinner. Towards the end of his life, he was thrilled by the receipt of a death threat: he hoped to remain "dangerous" and this ominous message was a sign that he had achieved this aim. When he passed, however, the nation, regardless of political belief, mourned.
I emerged from the film with a greater appreciation for Benn: I don't believe he was always right, nor do I agree with him on everything. As Benn admitted, he made mistakes. He also didn't always succeed in what he wanted to do: in the case of North Sea oil, this was to our cost. However, he didn't want his epitaph to be "He was always right" or "He always succeeded", rather, he desired his tombstone to read "He encouraged us". He remains a source of inspiration. He encouraged us. He encourages us still.

"Look at this parking lot - this is perfect!"
In the fall of 2016, by serendipitous means, Col. Bruce Hampton shared his enthusiasm as he entered The Vista Room in Decatur GA. He was met by Mike Rizzi, whose intent was to create a space that was truly a musician's room. With memories of The Brandy House, where The Fiji Mariners would hold court many times, Bruce adopted the room as his own right away. Popping in for a conversation with 'The Great Rizz', Bruce began what would be a weekly residency with The Madrid Express. The first show was December 22, 2016 - and as the vibe was felt the community began to grow. For six months Bruce would settle in with a team of the best musicians, refining his craft to it's most focused and subtle. The Bruce Hampton version of Jackie Wilson at The Latin Casino: comfortable, without the show lights and the spectacle - just Bruce and the cats hanging out and preparing to deliver. And deliver they did as Bruce returned to the roots, with a rhythm section that would lay in that old Rhythm and Blues style a la Bobby Blue Bland, and wait for the unexpected left turn.
After all, three lefts do make a right.
The Vista Room was conceived with ears first and eyes second - a room built from the back to the front by a seasoned player. If the room was right for musicians, they will bring their friends, and so on. As is often the case, Bruce Hampton's arrival affirmed the beauty of the mission and a common void was filled for both parties - a spot where the outside world stayed outside, with no TV and an intimate setup. Mike Rizzi soon dubbed Bruce 'The Pope Of The Vista' as he and many others witnessed community through music each week. In Rizzi's words 'There wasn't a brighter light in the Vista than Col. Bruce Hampton'.
Bruce was also taken with the Vista's sound quality. On March 16, 2017 he had the engineer record that night's sold out Madrid Express show with the intent of releasing it on vinyl. For several weeks the project was being finished by Bruce, and is now in the hands of his band with the blessing of Bruce's estate.
Col. Bruce Hampton and The Madrid Express – Live At The Vista Room captures the night: Bruce as bandleader starting low and understated, telepathically communicating the use of dynamics to the band and building to the aforementioned left turn. And so, we present Col Bruce Hampton and The Madrid Express Live At The Vista Room. The universal chaos of creativity, weathered by experience and honesty to the craft, steeped over time with all of the mystery intact.


ANTONIO CONTE fears record-signing Alvaro Morata could miss the rest of the season with a back injury.
Chelsea's £50million Spanish striker, 25, has already missed four games with the problem that is 'not improving' despite intensive treatment.
And boss Conte will now have to fast-track new signing Olivier Giroud into taking over up front, despite the Frenchman's own recent fitness concerns.
Chelsea face bottom-of-the-table West Brom on Monday, looking to turn around a run of two successive defeats, having conceded seven goals and scored just one.
But they must do it without their former Real Madrid star Morata.
Conte said: "Morata no. Giroud has trained and will be in contention.
"We are talking a lot about bad results, but sometimes we forget we are facing a serious situation.
"Players like Morata, for us, are very important and have been missing for a long period of time.
"I don't know how long he will be out for.
"We are struggling a lot to find a solution to solve the pain in his back.
"If you ask me whether he needs a day, a month or the rest of the season, I don't know.
Giroud has not played 90 minutes since December 13 because of a hip strain and Conte was hoping to gradually ease his £18m January buy from Arsenal into the team.
Morata has slipped to second in the Chelsea goalscoring list behind Eden Hazard in his debut Premier League season with 12 goals, but is still considered a key player.
The Blues' players reported back yesterday after three days off in the wake of Monday's disastrous 4-1 thrashing by Watford. And Conte immediately told them to 'man up' to stop the season slipping away.
Chelsea face a key eight days from Monday, playing Hull in the FA Cup on Friday before the first of a two-legged showdown with Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday week.
Conte addressed his players before their session at the club's Surrey training ground in an attempt to rev them up.
There is some good news for the Italian with defender Andreas Christensen back in light training after a hamstring injury.
Chelsea lost both games during the young Dane's absence.
And Conte said: "It's right to look at the statistics but we have to take the stats in the right way.
"But, for sure, Christensen is an important player for us. He's playing a fantastic season.
"I don't know why, but it has happened.

Constitution housing housing application Daycare
Dakwäkäda/Haines Junction, Yukon – The community of Dakwäkäda/Haines Junction is coming together today to mark a new era of education for our school under the First Nation School Board. The Ceremony is an important way to begin the new school year in the spirit of reconciliation and moving forward together for all students.
Since the community voted to join the new school board this January, St. Elias Community School is now moving to a child-centered model of public-school education framed in two worldviews, incorporating local First Nations ways into all aspects of learning and school life.
Organized by Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, the First Nation School Board and St. Elias Community School, all members of the public are invited to attend this momentous gathering and are encouraged to wear their traditional regalia.
"We are happy to celebrate this critical step to build a better educational future for our people. We are growing our school so every child has access to learning based on their own unique strengths; so more kids stay in school, graduate, and leave high school better prepared for life, jobs, university and trades, and ready to contribute to a stronger, healthier community," says Kaaxnox, Dän Nätthe Äda (Chief Steve Smith). "Champagne and Aishihik First Nations is proud to help carry on the vision that Chiefs Elijah Smith, Paul Birckel, Harry Allen and other Yukon leaders had when they prepared 'Together Today for our Children Tomorrow'. This is a huge step forward, but the journey is just beginning. Everyone in Dakwäkäda/Haines Junction has a role to play to continue building a better future for our children."
"It is a great honour to be supporting our school teams, our students and our families in this transition to a new model of education grounded in Yukon First Nations ways of knowing and doing," says Melissa Flynn, Interim Executive Director of the First Nation School Board. "As changes in the schools will be implemented gradually, we are asking everyone to focus this year on strengthening their relationship to the community, relationship to the land. This event allows just that, while bringing everyone together in ceremony, walking the path of reconciliation."

BACKGROUNDER:
The FNSB was established in February 2022, through a series of school-attendance area referenda, enabling Yukon First Nations to assume shared authority with Government of Yukon in the delivery of public-school education in the territory. Board-run schools will continue to follow the BC Curriculum, but will tailor the programming, lesson delivery and assessment methodology to reflect Yukon First Nations ways of knowing, being and doing.
These schools are for all Yukon students and aim to promote reconciliation by enhancing a Yukon First Nations model that puts the student first, through a strengths-based, community-centered approach.
Equally, all teachers are welcome at these schools and are supported by the Board to adapt their strengths and thrive within the new pedagogy. We aim to authentically work with the community to make student-centered decisions for the up-coming year, utilizing Community Committees and Parent Advisory Committees, that will be established shortly after the board trustees are elected in November.

XXXTentacion's Posthumous Album 'Skins' Due in December
Six months after his death, XXXTentacion's posthumous album will see a release.
The 20-year-old rapper's third album Skins, a follow-up to March's ?, is set to arrive on Dec. 7, according to a global iTunes pre-order page. The album contains 10 songs and has a run time of 17 minutes.
The brief length may be intentional. XXX had previously revealed that he planned to make the album "super short." "It's literally gonna be a minute," he can be heard saying in an audio clip.

Skins' first single, "Bad," will reportedly arrive Friday (Nov. 9) along with the pre-order. A teaser for the song was posted on his Instagram Story before being removed and replaced with a teaser for merch that shows two tags that read "Bad," which were designed by XXX himself. There is also a countdown on shopxxxtentacion.com.
"Soon…handling with care. But I promise you it's worth it," reads the Instagram Story caption. "Oh by the way I designed all of those myself."

XXX was working on the album prior to his death in June. Since then, he can be heard on posthumous collaborations with Lil Pump and Swae Lee ("Arms Around You"), Lil Peep ("Falling Down"), and Lil Wayne ("Don't Cry"). Kanye West has also said that XXX will appear on his upcoming album Yandhi, and producer Mally Mall teased collaborations with Rihanna and The Weeknd.

Draft: Sixers take Embiid at No. 3 (copy)
Tom Moore
tmoore@couriertimes.com
NEW YORK — Sam Hinkie went big and injured for the second straight year.
At 7:52 p.m., commissioner Adam Silver announced that Hinkie and the 76ers selected Kansas center Joel Embiid at No. 3 in Thursday night's NBA Draft at the Barclays Center.
The 7-foot Embiid underwent surgery Friday for a stress fracture of his left foot that is expected to sideline him for at least four months. The Sixers could choose to sit him for the entire 2014-15 season, as they did with No. 6 overall pick Nerlens Noel a year ago.
If Embiid doesn't play, it would mark the third straight season in which the Sixers had what amounted to a red-shirt big man, counting Andrew Bynum in 2012-13.
The Sixers also acquired No. 12 selection Croatian forward Dario Saric, who is committed to playing at least two years overseas after signing a three-year contract in Turkey, for their No. 10 choice (Louisiana-Lafayette guard Elfrid Payton), a future second-rounder and a future first-round pick that some are saying would the top-11 protected 2017 pick back from the ill-advised Bynum trade.
Saric's contract would have to be bought out for him to play in Philly before 2016-17.
Sixers coach Brett Brown talked about the team's three- to five-year rebuilding plan late last season, but it seems like general manager Hinkie, who is in his second year on the job, might be taking a more gradual approach than that.
The Sixers selected Clemson forward K.J. McDaniels at No. 32 and Syracuse forward Jerami Grant at No. 39. The 6-6 McDaniels, who averaged 17.1 points and 7.1 rebounds last season for the Tigers, was in the stands at the draft and high-fived fans on his way up to the stage. The healthy contingent of Sixers fans chanted "K.J."
The Sixers added Louisville guard Russ Smith at No. 47, though they were reportedly going to trade him for guard Pierre Jackson — who Hinkie took at 42 last year before trading him on draft night. They also grabbed Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic at 52 and Serbian forward Nemanja Dangubic at 54, who they traded to the Spurs for No. 58 (Tennesse's Jordan McRae) and No. 60 (Baylor's Cory Jefferson).
Embiid, a Cameroon native who has only played three years of organized basketball, is raw but has drawn comparisons to a young Hakeem Olajuwon. He has better offensive moves than Noel and could end up playing some power forward, assuming the Sixers hold on to Noel.
"He's just starting to scratch the surface," Kansas coach Bill Self said of Embiid in a Barclays Center hallway 20 minutes after the pick. "If he's healthy, Philadelphia got a steal at No. 3. He's a franchise-potential type player."
Embiid, who wasn't in Brooklyn due to his surgery and apparently might not be able to fly for a few weeks, missed the Big 12 Conference and NCAA tournaments with a stress fracture in his back that Self claimed has healed. Embiid averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.6 blocked shots, 23.1 minutes and shot 63.6 percent from the field in 28 games during his only year with the Jayhawks.
Self said he "talked to Jo (Wednesday) and the best he thought he could do today was 6." But when Self chatted with Hinkie on Thursday, he was confident Embiid would go No. 3.
"They're going to get a guy with personality, a guy that moves like a guard and can score in a plethora of ways," Self said. "I believe Philadelphia will fall in love with Jo. He very easily could've been the No. 1 pick."
The price to move up to No. 1 to get Embiid's college teammate, Andrew Wiggins, was apparently Nos. 3, 10 and 32, and the Sixers were willing to pay it, according to an NBA source. But the Cavaliers wouldn't do the deal and selected Wiggins.
The Sixers reportedly had conversations with the Celtics (No. 6), Kings (8) and others about acquiring those teams' picks, though it didn't work out. There were rumblings the Sixers had interest in Michigan shooting guard Nik Stauskas, who went to Sacramento.
There were plenty of Philly fans in the crowd, as evidenced by the "Let's go Sixers" chant that broke out 30 minutes prior to the start of the draft and continued periodically until the draft started. They remained very involved in the proceedings deep into the night.
