TUF Nations Finale results, photos: Ryan Jimmo KOs Sean O'Connell in first

QUEBEC CITY – Ryan Jimmo showed UFC fans his best robot dance, which meant he had another good night in the octagon.
After struggling with Sean O'Connell's pressure, Jimmo freed himself to uncork a right hand that brought him a KO and a chance to show off his stuff.
The light heavyweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today's TUF Nations Finale event at Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FOX Sports 1.
The fight came to a crashing halt at the 4:27 mark of the first round when referee Dan Miragliotta pulled Jimmo off the unconscious O'Connell.
Jimmo admitted having trouble finding his range early in the fight when O'Connell intercepted his wild strikes and stuffed him against the cage. But he rebounded in a big way late in the frame after taking an illegal knee and trying unsuccessfully to take the fight to the mat.
O'Connell was in the midst of chasing down another clinch when he ran straight into Jimmo's right hand. A few follow up punches from the Canadian were academic.
Jimmo (19-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) gets back to the win column following a setback against Jimi Manuwa in his previous outing, but continues to hopscotch between wins and losses following his seven-second KO of Anthony Perosh that brought his first robot dance. O'Connell (15-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who stepped in for an injured Steve Bosse, sees a six-fight regional streak snapped.
Up-to-the-minute TUF Nations Finale results include:
Ryan Jimmo def. Sean O'Connell via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 4:27
George Roop def. Dustin Kimura via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-26)

In a move likely to end the long-running awards show's credibility, Jennifer Lawrence has reportedly not been nominated for a single Grammy.
Officials from the Grammy's confirmed that Hollywood "it-girl" and all-around "slampiece" J-Law was snubbed for all of Sunday evening's awards because APPARENTLY there aren't categories for perfectness, breast shape or ability to give down to earth and fun interviews. Sux, rite?
The high-profile snub of Lawrence is seen as a major gaffe by the award show, and sponsors are already beginning to pull out. But not the like highly ineffective contraceptive type of pulling out. The type of pulling out that means companies don't want to be associated with this SHAM of an awards show.
Supporters of Lawrence have been quick to criticize the Grammy's for failing to include Our Beloved in their nominations.
"I will find out who is responsible for this. And I will make them feel pain. Most likely with fire," Harvey Weinstein said.
For her part, Lawrence appears to be handling the stunning snub with her typical grace, class, humor, bangability, and wit.
"Whatever, I'll just lie in bed naked and eat ice cream," Lawrence said.
The actress was very adamant that no one from this publication would be allowed to attend The Naked Ice Cream Eating of 2013 and asked repeatedly that we stop following her into the bathroom.

Dr. Sim models disaster
August 31, 2011 | by Greg Rienzi
Joshua Epstein, a New Yorker, sometimes wreaks simulated havoc on Los Angeles. Photo: Will Kirk/Homewoodphoto.jhu.edu
Sitting at his desk, Joshua Epstein readies a computer disaster simulation, benignly christened the "toy playground, agent-based model." Graphically speaking, this particular computer scenario is pure Commodore 64. The playground is a green box. Inside, mostly blue dots (healthy kids) and a couple of red ones (sick kids) swirl around. Then, with the click of a mouse, Epstein unleashes a merciless flu epidemic. Soon, the kids begin to bump into each other. Blues turn red and then get placed in another square, representing an infirmary or morgue. The playground empties in seconds and all that's left is red dots. Well, almost. "We are rooting for this one blue kid to stay healthy," says Epstein, pointing at his monitor. "But he never makes it."
Epstein, a former Brookings Institution senior fellow dubbed "Dr. Sim" by Forbes magazine, employs a dry brand of humor that serves the School of Medicine professor well in his chosen profession. His job is to conjure nightmare scenarios and play them out in the cyber realm—man-made and natural disasters such as a flu pandemic, earthquake, massive chemical spill, radioactive explosion, airborne toxin release, or tsunami. Virtually speaking, Epstein regularly sees people die—or be saved—by the millions.
Summer 2010, he launched the Johns Hopkins University Center for Advanced Modeling in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences, or CAM, located on the university's Mount Washington campus. The interdisciplinary center has already attracted a wealth of renowned experts to its team, including Nobel laureates Thomas Schelling and George Akerlof, in the fields of infectious disease modeling, computer science, economics, civil engineering, epidemiology, emergency medicine, and other disciplines.
The key, he says, is the center's use of agent-based simulation modeling, which creates realistic virtual worlds populated by "agents" programmed to act like real people—they show fear, bias, competence levels, you name it. They go about their routine business until Epstein and his team inject a real or imagined threat. The agents then simulate individual human actions and multiple interactions. Say the local news reports an anthrax scare. Does one stay home from work? Flee? Ignore it? The agents will make such choices. "They do the natural or weird things human do," says Epstein, the center's director. "They imitate. They have bad information. They interpret things with predispositions. They change their itinerary in plausible ways."
To demonstrate the full breadth of the center's capability, Epstein runs another scenario, one of his favorites: an airborne toxin release over Los Angeles. (The native New Yorker playfully uses L.A. in several disaster scenarios.) In this case, a nifty 3-D simulation depicts a slow-moving red plume that drifts across the city based on known wind patterns, fluid dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, and other factors. Highway traffic, modeling up-to-date transportation and population data, drives across a landscape replicated right down to the spires on top of skyscrapers. Color-coded by speed, the traffic patterns show that as more people evacuate the city, traffic throughout the metro area becomes gridlocked. Instead of complying with public emergency instructions to take shelter, Epstein says, the agents risk exposure in droves. "They go, 'No way, I'm going to get my kids at school across town,'" he says. "You don't want them to drive through the plume, but they are not likely to comply [with public safety instructions] if they don't think their kids are taken care of." CAM plays what-if games to see what cost-effective and practical strategies and interventions could be used to save lives. What if more shelters were in place? What if air traffic were restricted? What if there were more or different evacuation routes? What if medical surge capacity were increased?
These simulations can be applied to events on any scale, from a chemical release at a hospital to a global disease outbreak. The center's planetary-scale agent model—a first-of-its-kind project led by Jon Parker, CAM's senior software engineer—simulates 6.5 billion distinct individuals on a planetary map. This model was used by the National Institutes of Health to plan for emerging pathogens, including last year's H1N1 pandemic, and has been featured in Nature. The next generation of scenarios developed by the center will feature even more sophisticated modeling, with real-time streaming and biomechanically realistic software individuals to better simulate injuries, as in the event of a stampede at a sports stadium.

Memorandum Regarding a Conversation between Vadim Medvedev and Kurt Hager in the CC of CPSU in Moscow
Following on the heels of Mikhail Gorbachev's visit to the GDR to celebrate its 40th anniversary, GDR Minister of Culture, Kurt Hager, traveled to Moscow for the GDR Culture Days, which opened on October 12, 1989, and included not only a showcase of East German cultural offerings, but the signing of a new "Long Range Conception" for cultural cooperation between the GDR and the Soviet Union.
Despite the focus of their meeting on issues of cultural exchange, attention quickly turned to the political events in East Germany. Hager spoke openly about the challenges facing the GDR, especially from leading cultural and religious figures. Yet, both Hager and Medvedev spoke of long-range plans and the necessity to not lose sight of defending the ethos of socialism in the face of new opposition. It is clear from this memorandum, that both figures continued to cling to a belief that the merits of socialism could withstand the current challenges in the GDR. Certainly, reform was necessary, but neither Hager nor Medvedev foresaw the imminent collapse of the GDR that was now less than a month away.
Vadim Medvedev, "Memorandum regarding a Conversation between Vadim Medvedev and Kurt Hager in the CC of the CPSU in Moscow," 13 October 1989, trans. Christiaan Hetzner, Cold War International History Project, Documents and Papers, CWIHP (accessed May 14, 2008).
Proceeding onto the matter of the present situation in the GDR, Comrade Hager informed [him] of a two day Politburo session, in which all the issues and faults in the work of the Party and State were spoken about openly. Altogether it was a very critical discussion. Problems on the role of worker-and-farmer power, the Party, and also the cooperation between the fraternal parties were handled. To that effect, there was unanimous agreement to throw out everything which was unproven, to give up the routine, and to carry out changes both in the Party work as well as in the state organs, people's representatives, and in the media and information policies. As a result of the discussions, the Politburo adopted a declaration which will be published. Excerpts can also be found in "Pravda."
Comrade Medvedev made the point that the possibility of a verbatim publication is being looked into.
Comrade Hager informed [him] further that the artists and cultural-creators have spoken increasingly critically, having nothing to do with cultural or social problems, but rather most of all about the emerging general situation. The statements by the Academy of Arts and by the Cultural League were published. On the general situation and its origins Comrade Hager said the following:
The emigration of tens of thousands of citizens to the FRG creates great anxiety and raises the question as to the causes.
The GDR is at the mercy of a massive campaign by the enemy - a psychological warfare against the GDR, the SED, and socialism - which was a complete failure.
An array of opposition groups have emerged, which are trying to organize themselves, among others a Social Democratic Party as well, of which 7 of 14 founders are clergymen. A group of church dignitaries plays a negative role and incites the atmosphere. Others opposed to this search for a way of agreement with state organs.
Cultural and artistic-creators, scientists, and other members of the intelligentsia, workers, and farmers feel there is an inconsistency between word and deed, their everyday experiences do not correspond to official reporting. Consequently a justifiable discontent forms.
On this basis the Politburo adopted the above-mentioned declaration, which contains all these aspects and opens up new paths for the development of the Party and for life in the GDR.
Presently consultations are taking place with the district and municipality leaderships as well as the friendly parties. A plenary session of the CC of the SED is being prepared for, which will comment on the situation and which will present a platform on the tasks for the further development of socialism in the GDR for discussion of the preparations for the IX Party Congress. All these steps and plans mean the introduction of a great dialogue with all circles of the population which support in the majority the strengthening of socialism. There are also forces, however, which support anti-socialist positions and choose other forms of discussion, namely that of the demonstration, of attacks on armed [state] organs. In this respect heightened vigilance is required to prevent counterrevolutionary actions. An adjustment in media policy is also important to proceeding further. In all, a great change is occurring in life in the GDR, in the spirit of the motto of continuity and change, where the stress is placed on change. In this stormy time it is necessary to hold course, to allow no pessimism, and to defend the value of socialism -all tasks of ideological work, in which culture does not have an unimportant roll.

A woman from Hickman's Harbour, Random Island, is demonstrating how healthy living can transform a person's life and their state of mind.
Kristina Hansford has achieved a 100-pound weight loss after committing herself to better food choices and regular exercise.
Taking progress pictures has encouraged Kristina Hansford and Junior Saragaco along the way.
The journey for the 28-year-old began in 2016, after a softball championship in St. John's.
"That's what really got me to this point," recalled Hansford "I went out to the provincials and I just didn't play well.
Hansford estimates she was about 270 pounds at the time. Although she was athletic, she was over-consuming unhealthy foods such as potato chips and soft drinks.
Past attempts to get healthy had failed, but Hansford admits she was never truly committed to the process.
"I had all the good excuses," she recalled. "It's the weekend. I'll start Monday. I'm out of town, etc. But this time, things were going to be different.
From there she began to gradually change her diet, omitting things like fast food for 30-day periods. Her partner, Junior Saragaco, also got onboard and they began a routine of driving 40-minutes every evening to Clarenville to work out at the gym.
Hansford later began weightlifting. She can now bench press 200 pounds and has dead lifted 285 pounds.
Hansford says consistency has been key.
Another contributor to her success, she adds, is support.
Hansford says her whole life has improved, but the biggest change is in how she feels. She has been challenged with mental illness since her teens.
"Life is easier now," she concluded. "Even something as simple as walking to my car has become effortless, and stairs are no problem. I can fit into the clothes I want and I'm more social. I am slowly becoming the athlete I strive to be.
Kristina Hansford believes she was 270 pounds at the start of her weight loss journey over two years ago. She attributes a healthier diet and an increase in exercise to her success.
Don't worry about the numbers on the scale.
Make gradual changes to your diet and activity levels.
Try the gym and find what works for you.
Hansford and her partner have made use of My Fitness Pal apps for tracking what they eat. The app provides nutritional information on the foods they consume.

News Release.
Commencement of Second Phase IXOS
Test Work at the Fenix Gold Project
Halifax, Nova Scotia/ Vancouver, BC – (January 11, 2022) – Rio2 Limited ("Rio2") (TSXV: RIO) (OTCQX: RIOFF) (BVL: RIO) and Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW) (OTCQB: SIXWF) (FSE: AHUH) ("Sixth Wave") are pleased to announce the second phase test work of patented IXOS® purification polymer ("IXOS®") will begin at Rio2's Fenix Gold Project in Chile in mid-January 2022. The second phase test work at the mine site follows on from the successful completion of ore tests at Sixth Wave's Salt Lake City Utah facility in August 2021.
Sixth Wave will perform adsorption tests using IXOS® beads with solution from installed heap leach columns to evaluate adsorption kinetics and other parameters. Testing will include operation of the system under a variety of testing scenarios to validate IXOS® performance and refine the cost/benefit analysis. Potential positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts and a reduced carbon footprint (CO2 emissions) using IXOS® instead of activated carbon for the process plant will also be explored during this phase of the project. The IXOS® process operates at a significantly reduced power consumption and with fewer reagents than activated carbon creating opportunities for enhancement of Rio2's ESG initiatives at its Fenix Gold Mine.
"Sixth Wave is committed to making a positive contribution to the optimisation of the adsorption/desorption process of the planned future expansion of the Fenix Gold Mine from its initial throughput rate of 20,000 TPD." noted Dr. Jon Gluckman, President and CEO of Sixth Wave Innovations Inc.
Alex Black, President and CEO of Rio2 stated, "The Fenix Gold Mine will initiate operations with a carbon adsorption component of the processing plant but we are hoping that, as a result of this upcoming test work, the IXOS Process can be proven as a more cost-effective, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solution for the adsorption process when we look to expand mine production in the future."
Rio2 Limited also announces that it has granted 2,100,000 incentive stock options (the "Stock Options") to purchase Rio2 common shares to certain officers and employees pursuant to Rio2's Stock Option Plan.
These Stock Options have an expiry date of January 11, 2027, and will vest as to 1/3 thereof on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of grant. Each Stock Option entitles the holder to purchase one Rio2 common share at a price of $0.65 for a period of five years from the date of grant.

Would you like to increase your driver head speed, ball carry, and driving distance immediately and for FREE? It's easy and it all involves how you warm up.
Most people don't really warm up properly, some don't warm up at all. Studies show that improper stretching can rob you of power and strength. Static stretching can decrease the ability for a muscle to generate the necessary torque to hit a golf ball. The golf swing is a dynamic, plyometric movement after all, and if you're not getting ready to hit a golf ball properly, you're losing yards.
Most people just grab a club, swing it around a bit, maybe hit a couple of balls, but they're missing the most important aspect of the golf swing, the most important muscle that drives the whole movement.
Warm up routines I see tend to focus on the upper body and trying to rotate it around. But the main thing that should be warmed up is the hips and the glutes. And not static stretching, but dynamic stretching and strengthening to neurologically prep it for the golf swing.
With the proper dynamic stretches and strengthening exercises prior to your round of golf, you can up to 10 yards on each swing.

retired from construction supervising and World War II veteran whose wartime experiences included fighting at the Battle of the Bulge and walking Gen. George S. Patton Jr.'s pet bull terrier, died at St. Joseph Medical Center March 8, 2007 of complications from stomach surgery. The Cockeysville, Maryland resident was 87.
Mr. Glover was born and raised in Owings Mills, Maryland. He cut short his Baltimore County public school education to help support his family. He enlisted in the Army in 1941 and served in Europe with an armored infantry unit as a gunner and tank driver.
"Walking General Patton's dog was one of his favorite stories," said a son, Raymond G. Glover of Reisterstown.
"It was a rainy night in France, and while he was standing guard, General Patton asked him to walk his dog Willie. He told him he couldn't because he was on guard duty, and after a few expletives, General Patton said, `You walk the dog and I'll stand post,'" the son said.
Mr. Glover returned to Baltimore after the war and was a construction supervisor for 20 years for Jack Meyerhoff Co. He later worked for Elmer Arminger Construction Co. and retired in 1981 from Triangle Construction Co.
A longtime Northwood resident who moved to Cockeysville in 1997, he was an active member of St. John's of Hamilton United Methodist Church, where he was given the nickname of "Peanut Man," for his peanut brittle. "Everyone loved his peanut brittle, which he made for church bazaars and fundraisers," his son said.
Mr. Glover had been a Meals on Wheels volunteer and a longtime member of the Parkville American Legion post. He enjoyed car trips and had visited all of the 48 contiguous states, family members said.
Also surviving are his wife of 42 years, the former Ruth Martell; another son, Kenneth M. Glover of Cockeysville; a stepdaughter, Pamela D. McGill of Carney; a sister, Dorothy Smith of Catonsville; five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. His wife of 13 years, the former Edith Marinelli, died in 1962.

Police said they also saw two marijuana cigarettes in the vehicle, including one the man threw while getting out of the car.
ANTRIM TOWNSHIP - A Virginia man allegedly told police he planned to smoke marijuana before they pulled him over for a traffic stop during which they found suspected cocaine and a counterfeit currency tester, court documents said.
Joshua Dushawn Williams, 35, Stephens City, Va., is charged with felony manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana and cited with other offenses, according to court documents.
Officers were patrolling Interstate 81 near mile marker 7 at about 1 a.m. on Monday, when they saw a dark blue Saturn driving northbound in excess of 100 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Upon pulling over the vehicle near mile marker 9, police found a rolled-up marijuana cigarette in a cup holder and smelled marijuana odor while talking with the driver. Court documents show the driver, later identified as Williams, appeared very nervous and told officers his driver's license was suspended and he "had not smoked marijuana yet, but was going to prior to the traffic stop."
While getting out of the vehicle as police asked him to, Williams threw a marijuana cigarette out of the passenger-side window, court documents state. Police said they located a New Jersey identification card on Williams and discovered he had an active in-state-only warrant out of New Jersey. He was also found to have $456 in cash.
Officers searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag, three pills, and four glassine bags, each containing two packages of a white powdery substance Williams said he believed to be cocaine, court documents show. In addition, they also located a partially smoked marijuana cigarette under the passenger-side seat, a marker used to identify counterfeit bills, a scale and a black BB-gun resembling a pistol.
Williams was arraigned and taken to the Franklin County Jail, where he is unable to post $250,000 bail.

A middle aged man hopped the curb and crashed into a cluster of trees around 2:10pm Monday afternoon. The single vehicle crash occurred just after 2pm on Riverside Drive East between Isabelle Place and Belleperche Place.
Witnesses on scene state that they believe the man experienced a seizure prior to the crash. According to Windsor Fire & Rescue Captain 1, the driver appears to have blacked out. The driver did not know where he was or what had happened when emergency crews approached him.
According to Captain 1, firefighters did not have to use the jaws of life to open the car door, but they did have to use saw equipment to cut off tree branches to gain access to the vehicle.
The man was transported to Hotel Dieu Hospital with minor injuries and the vehicle, which belongs to Windsor Appliances, was towed by Myers Towing.

UAF gets federal grant to preserve 'Into the Wild' bus
Dan Bross, KUAC - Fairbanks
Fairbanks Transit System Bus 142 arrives at the Troth Yeddha' campus Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021 at the Engineering, Learning and Innovation Facility's high bay structural testing lab. (JR Ancheta/UAF)
A $500,000 federal grant will help the University of Alaska Museum of the North preserve Bus 142, popularized by the book and movie "Into the Wild."
The funding comes from the National Park Service and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, through the Save America's Treasures program. Angela Linn, a museum collections manager, said the award will help cover the costs for preserving the 1940s-era Fairbanks public transit bus.

"Freeze it and document it in its current state, because the most famous part of it was from 1992 when Chris McCandless was there," Linn said.
McCandless' death from starvation at the bus 30 years ago drew travelers from across the world, at least two of whom died trying to reach it. In 2020, a helicopter removed the bus from a spot near Denali National Park and Preserve and moved it to Fairbanks.
Linn said the first step in the preservation process is stabilizing the bus' structure.
"Making it safe for people to walk around in it, for us to move the bus to the exhibit site," Linn said. "But it's also about preserving the surface of the bus both inside and outside, so that we can preserve all the graffiti and all the epitaphs that have been placed on the surface of the bus."
Linn said the grant will cover the cost of hiring a preservation company to do the work.

"This very well-known and well-respected conservation team out of Pennsylvania, BR Howard and Associates," Linn said. "And they're the one who came last summer and did the condition assessment of it, and prepared a proposal to us and we used that proposal to get the funding."
Although the project is focused on preserving the bus as is, Linn notes that because it will eventually go on display outside, missing and broken windows will be replaced. The plan calls for exhibiting the bus behind the museum on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, in a fenced area protected by a shelter.
"So that the direct sun and the snow and the rain and the heavy-duty element exposure will be a little bit lessened," Linn said.
Linn said another grant is being applied for to build the bus shelter. The museum is also working with the nonprofit group Friends of Bus 142 to raise money. Linn said the museum hopes to open the bus exhibit in 2024.
In the meantime the public can view the bus as it's being worked on inside UAF's Usibelli Building, as well as via webcam.

Hollywood Gets a New 5088: Musicians Institute
The esteemed Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California has a brand new tool for its incoming students: a 16-channel 5088 console. Jonathan Newkirk, MI's Program Chair for Audio Engineering, recently sat down with us for an interview in Los Angeles.
What is your background, your role with MI, and how long have you been with the school?
I have been in the audio industry for over 14 years, with my start on a Studer 24 track 2" tape machine and a Trident 80B back in 1994. Over the course of 5 years, I was the chief engineer at a local recording studio called Music Box Studios. I engineered for artists like Carmine Appice, Roger Daltry, SST Records, Slash, Dishwalla, Epitaph Records, and Sanctuary Records. Then in 1999, I purchased the studio, rebuilt it and renamed it to Studio Atlantis. During its 10 years of operation, we had just about every major urban act come through the doors – from Snoop Dog, to Chris Brown, to Ludacris to Janet Jackson. In 2009, I sold the studio to Michael Jackson's former producer, Rodney Jerkins, and then ran Power Chord Academy, a nation-wide summer rock-n-roll camp for teenage musicians, for 2 years. Afterwards I got an Executive MBA at the University of Southern California, and was then picked up by Musicians Institute to be the Program Chair of Audio Engineering. My role is to ensure that the school has the latest state-of-the-art equipment for the students, and that their education prepares them for the real world of audio engineering, whether that is for music, post, or live sound. I've been with Musicians Institute for just over a year.
Tell us a bit about the studio in which the 5088 has been integrated – what is its purpose, and how is it run?
The RND 5088 is located in our Studio D, and its primary purpose is to teach new students the basics of console operations. This includes signal flow, channel strip operation, and recording into a DAW, as well as the having students understand the process of basic tracking, overdubs and mixing. In a typical week, students spend lecture time understanding the theory of the console, and then spend lab time putting the theory into practice. In addition, students have the ability to book studio time when the room is open. When booked, they can record their friends' bands, other MI musicians or just themselves. All of this gives the students a lot of hands-on experience on the Neve.
What made you specifically choose the 5088 console for the school, and why did you configure it the way you did? Are there plans to expand it further?
We chose the Neve primarily because of the Neve brand and because it is one of the best-sounding analog consoles on the market – also, we wanted a console that was durable and easy to use. Since most of our students have never seen a console, we wanted to make sure they were taught on a board that could carry them through the learning process. Thus, no crazy computer systems, moving faders, or complicated signal paths. Lastly, we picked the Neve to help round out our console portfolio. Currently we have an API 1608, Euphonix Fusion S5, SSL Duality, Yamaha M7CL, and an Avid Icon. The Neve was the missing piece to the puzzle. The board is currently 16 channels, but we plan to add another 16-channel bucket when we build a new studio for the Neve next year. When we do, I also plan to add a slew of new penthouse modules.
Tell us a bit about the installation process, and how the 5088 was integrated.
Westlake Pro in North Hollywood was our contact for this purchase and install, and they helped make it quick and easy. Prior to the Neve, we had a custom built 16 channel SSL G+ in the room. Decommissioning this console and transporting it away took about 2 days. The frame set-up and console "drop" for the Neve took a day, then there was about four days' worth of wiring. All in all, we were up and running in about a week.
Is there anything in particular you'd like to share about the studio, or the console? Favorite aspects, thoughts on Rupert Neve's latest equipment, etc.?
The Neve brand transcends itself and we are very happy to have a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 here at Musicians Institute. The console itself is built so well, so simple to use and sounds so wonderful, it is truly in a class by itself. If anyone knows how to build consoles, it's Rupert, and it's no wonder that this console, with its discrete op-amp cards, Class A circuitry, and transformers, is an excellent product.
Thanks Jonathan!

EAT FARMED OYSTERS
Our farming methods give much needed help back to the Chesapeake Bay environment. In the past, there were enough oysters to filter all 19 trillion gallons of water in the Bay every few days. One oyster can filter about 50 gallons of water per day, so it takes at least 380 billion oysters to accomplish all that filtration. Due to over-harvesting and disease, much of the natural oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay has been destroyed. Without this filtration there is more algae and sediment which leads to less sunlight in the water, a key ingredient to a healthy Bay. Oysters are just one link in the chain. Less sunlight equals less grass beds which means less habitat for young crabs and fish. Now that the natural oyster population has dramatically decreased, what's filtering the water?
Our 10 million-plus oysters are filtering approximately 525 million gallons of water daily during the growing season. We aren't growing 380 billion oysters yet, but as we help other independent growers establish thriving farms, we expect to see the number of oysters in the Bay rise exponentially.
Farmed oysters take the harvesting pressure off the natural populations so they can reproduce and replenish old oyster beds. Of our 10 million oysters, many are planted on oyster grounds for reef restoration and reproduction in the wild. Each female oyster, depending on size, has the capability of spawning 25-85 million offspring. Of course, not all of those oysters make it to maturity. But if only 2% of the offspring survive to maturity from the 2% that actually set, that's potentially over 500 million young disease resistant oysters we release into the wild annually.
When consumers support the farmed Bay oyster by purchasing them directly or requesting them in restaurants, they are supporting the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. What are you waiting for?

Q: Spyder command line I'm using spyder for python programing.
I've a file.py and I want to run code like:
--model=RNN --optimizer=SGD

but when I run it in the spyder console it gives this error:
SyntaxError: can't assign to operator
So how can I run this?

A: In Spyder, if you go into the Run menu, you'll find an option named Configuration per file. On my system, you can get directly to that entry with CTRL+F6 (the shortcut key may be different on other OSs).
Once you select the menu item, you'll get a dialog window with several options. The one you want is about halfway down, named Command line options. You will want to check the box, and put the arguments you showed above into the adjacent text field. Now when you run the file, the code will behave as if those options were passed to it on the command line (it will see them in sys.argv).

The goal of the LACIS's project is to build a new generation of color image sensors that is not based on global sensitivity but rather that has sensitivity driven locally. Our sensor imitate the human retina and its local adaptive property which allows the human vision to encode high dynamic range despite the low encoding range provided by neurons. The sensor should also be able to process color without distorsion. Several color filter arrays were design and mounted on the sensor. Preliminary results shows the validity of the approach.

Execution of Jews in Smolevichi
Sand quarry (1); Cellar in an abandoned farm (2)
Between 2,000 to 3,300; 200
Lev P., born in 1929: "One day we were grazing cows in the forest with my friends. Suddenly we heard screams and bursts coming from about 150-200 meters. Then we saw the column of Jewish men going to that place. They were escorted by Germans with German shepherds. As we learned later, the women and children were the first to be killed and then the men. Another day I saw the column of women, elderly people and children. They were brought to the hill. The execution lasted the entire day. The villagers said that only two people managed to escape." (Witness n°939, interviewed in Smolevichi, on August 5, 2017)
"[…] On the Gorodishche (Koplitsa) hill, 2 km south of Smolevichi, we have found four mass graves in which, in the period from August 19 to October 4, 1942, German-fascist invaders shot and buried 4,100 people, including 3,300 Jews and 800 prisoners of war and other civilians.
During the German occupation the entire Jewish population of the town was gathered in a place called the "ghetto" which was surrounded with barbed wire. Their belongings, clothes, food and furniture were confiscated by the German authorities. For about a month, the German-Fascist occupiers mistreated the Jews by making them sleep outdoors and depriving them of food. Many Jews were shot in the ghetto.
On August 28, 1941, 1400 Jews: the elderly, women with children, and adolescents, were driven in columns out of the ghetto, under the pretext of resettlement to another place. […] The Jews were brought to Gorodishche hill where the pit had been dug in advance. On the spot, they were stripped down until their underwear, taken inside the pit and shot with automatic weapons. A large number of children were thrown inside the pit and buried alive.
In the autumn of the same year 1941, on the Gorodishche hill, 1,000 Jews and 106 prisoners of war were shot in the same way. [...] In 1944, the German-Fascist invaders opened the pits on the Gorodishche hill and burned the bodies in order to erase the traces of their crimes. [...]" [Act drawn up on September 25, 1944 by the State Extraordinary Commission (ChGK); RG 22.002M: 7021-87-14]
"[...] We arrived on the Market Square and saw between twenty to thirty Jews with shovels and hooks. As usually S. had previously ordered the village chief to set up this working group. This group of men left the village, turned to the left, and arrived at a forest; we followed them with our vehicles. [...] When the Jews arrived in the forest they had to dig a pit. Once the pit was dug, they were shot. I suppose they were killed with sub-machine guns. The Jews could not have known that they would be shot; otherwise they would not have come.
One of the following days we went back to Smolevichi. [...] When we arrived, most of the Jews were already at the square, watched over by the Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht, the OD and our men took the Jews out of the village. Most of them were women and children. There must have been several hundred people. The execution site was located on a hill. From my post at the square I could not see [...] the pit. I don't know who conducted the shooting. It is possible that the Wehrmacht fired too. The victims in the square could hear the shots but could not see the execution. [...] [Deposition of EK8 member, Willy K., drawn up in Cologne on Mars 1, 1963. B162-3291]
Smolevichi is located 37 km north-east of Minsk. The first records about the local Jewish community date back to the late 17th century. In 1897 1,927 Jews lived in the town making up 64% of the total population. The Jewish elementary school was opened in 1920 and by 1926 it was attended by 250 children. In the 1930s two Jewish kolkhozes operated in the town. At this time the majority of Jews worked in kolkhoz, factories or lived off small-scale trade and handicrafts. A local Jewish council was active in Smolevichi during the Soviet period. There was a Jewish cemetery and synagogue in the town. In 1939 1,385 Jews lived in the town, comprising 21% of the total population.
Smolevichi was occupied by the German forces on June 26, 1941. Shortly after the occupation all the Jews were marked with yellow Stars of David and confined to the ghetto surrounded with barbed wire. They lived in conditions of terrible overcrowding, a lot of people died of hunger, diseases and torture. Young Jews able to work were required to perform heavy labor. According to the historical sources and testimonies of the local villagers, interviewed by Yahad team, several executions took place in Smolevichi. During the first Aktion carried out on or July 28, 1941, between 150-200 Jewish men were selected and taken away under the pretext of being taken to forced labor. They were shot in a barn, located in the fields east of Smolevichi. On August 28, 1941, during the liquidation of the ghetto about 3,300 Jews were put into a column and taken 2 km out of city to the sand quarries, to a place called Gorodische-Kapitsa hill. Once there they were forced to undress and were shot in a pit dug in advance. The Aktion was carried out by Einsatzkomando 8 and Wehrmacht. The remaining 250 Jews were shot in the same way in mid-September 1941. Witnesses also revealed several isolated executions by shooting and hanging; the victims were not only Jews, but also the partisans and locals who helped the Jews.

Hey guys i need help on installing bbk alum. udp's. I bought used and they did not come with instructions but i pretty much know how to install but have a few questions? There's the three pieces them being alternator, and what's the other water pump pulley? and crank pulley right? I seen where someone posted they had to bolt bbk udp on the stock one is this true or do you just replace the whole pulley? Thanks for any help you can give!
RE: BBK underdrive pulley install?
For BBK's you dont just swap out the crankshaft pulley. You reuse your stock crankshaft pulley and merge the BBK one with that one. Its whats called a piggyback style setup. If you notice with the Steedas and the BBK's, steeda's crankshaft pulley is MUCH larger and heavier, because its designed to be a full replacement.
As far as install goes, its just plain eaiser to use air tools to get the alternator pulley and the crankshaft pullies off. Otherwise, youll be fighting with rotating mass to get the damn nuts/bolts off. Remove your water pump pulley first, as it makes it eaiser to get the little bolts out, and it releases the tension on the belt for the other pullies. Make sure to take note on how the belt is run as well!
Sell the piggy backs and buy some Steeda's...Just my 2 pennies.

I took the Gem Utility, I used it, and now it tells me that there are no gems left, but I still don't have the rainbow 100%, just 99%. Can you help me with an advice?
Can you also e-mail me your profile.dat so I see what happened ?
Also, what version of Totem Tribe do you have ? ( You can see it at lower left corner of main menu ).
Serenity, I'm afraid you have to get newer version of Totem Tribe, 1.02 or 1.03.
You cannot complete Rainbow Road in convenient way in 0.358 or 1.0.
After you upgrade, the Guardian Moon will instantly become available.
But can I use my profile or I have to play everything again? Can i use my saved games? How can I upgrade my game without loosing everything I done until now?
I am at 99% in the Gem count & the utility tells me I am missing 1 blue gem on Mist Island...have been looking everwhere - someone give me a clue...please!
I am using version 1.02 on Windows XP. Rainbow Road says I am at 98 percent. I ran your utility which appears very useful, but it claims I am missing 28 gems - 21 which were on lost temple. I know that is not possible, because I found the sequence of colors that gave me three chests full of gems on this island....please help. I love this game, thanks so much!

Maybe you have lose or restarted Lost Temple island after you got that gems ? That could explain.
The last set of gems I found in this game were on the Island of Lost Temple, and I had already won that Island??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Though if Rainbow Road tells you need only 2% that is really just about 7 gems, so just don't care about Lost Temple, collect rest and get your Moon.

\section*{Supplemental Material}

\subsection{1. Complete set of experimental data}\label{sm:exp_data}

\begin{figure}[tb]
  \begin{center}
	 \includegraphics[width=0.95\linewidth]{figS2}
  \end{center}
  \caption{Measured magnetoresistance in the $B-T$ space of parameters for gate voltages ranging from $50\,\si{\volt}$ to $0\,\si{\volt}$. }
  \label{fig:S2}
\end{figure}

For completeness, Fig.~\ref{fig:S2} shows the systematic study of magnetoresistance in the $B-T$ space of parameters for gate voltages ranging from $50\,\si{\volt}$ to $0\,\si{\volt}$. At high gate voltage and low temperature, a very large negative magnetoresistance is observed (up to 70\% over a magnetic field range of $12\,\si{\tesla}$). As gate voltage (temperature) is decreased (increased), the overall magnitude of the magnetoresistance drop is suppressed, as the curves flatten out.

\subsection{2. Details on the choice of the model parameters}\label{sm:parameters}
Values for the three-band model parameters found in the theoretical literature vary over a wide range, see for example Refs.\ \onlinecite{joshua2012,zhong2013,vanherringen2013}.
{\sc arpes} measurements on the surface of STO \cite{santander2011,plumb2014} and LAO/STO \cite{cancellieri2014} have extracted values for the light and heavy effective masses as well as the confinement splitting $\Delta_{\rm E}$.
The values are similar in all of the experiments.  We take $t_l$, $t_h$ according to the effective masses for the $d_{xy}$ and $d_{xz}/d_{yz}$ band in Ref.~\onlinecite{plumb2014} and $\Delta_E$ according to the value found in Ref.~\onlinecite{santander2011}. An exact determination of the spin-orbit energies $\Delta_{\rm SO}$ and $\Delta_{\rm Z}$ is not yet available experimentally.
There are, however, clear indications that the spin-orbit energy scale may be above $10\,{\rm meV}$ \cite{shalom2010,caviglia2010}.
We take moderate values consistent with the theoretical literature \cite{mattheis1972,zhong2013}.
We note that our simulations suggest that experiments are in the regime $\Delta_{\rm Z}>\Delta_{\rm SO}$. The calculated magnetoresistance is negative in this regime, while we have found both negative and positive magnetoresistance, depending on the density, for $\Delta_{\rm SO}>\Delta_{\rm Z}$.

\subsection{3. Estimate of the ``sweet-spot'' carrier density and the magnetic field sensitive density window.}

\begin{figure}[tb]
  \begin{center}
	 \includegraphics[width=0.75\linewidth]{figS3}
  \end{center}
  \caption{Approximate density of states and filling for the ``sweet-spot'' carrier density at $T=0$. $m_l=\hbar^2/(2t_la^2)$ and $m_h=\hbar^2/(2t_ha^2)$ refer to the effective light and heavy electron masses corresponding to a 2d density of states $m_i/\pi\hbar^2= 1/2\pi t_ia^2$ for $i=l,h$.}
  \label{fig:S3}
\end{figure}

A central quantity of our proposed model is the ``sweet-spot'' carrier density $n^*$.
This density corresponds to a position of the Fermi level $E_{\rm F}=\mu(T=0)\approx 0$ where band structure is most sensitive to the competition between spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field.
Even for the mimimal three-band model of Hamiltonian~\eqref{eq:Hc} the exact value of $n^*$ has a complicated dependence on the model paramters $t_l$, $t_h$, $t_d$, $\Delta_{\rm E}$, $\Delta_{\rm SO}$ and $\Delta_{\rm Z}$ that can be obtained from integrating the density of states shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:3}.
In order to give simple estimate we can approximate the density of states as shown Fig.~\ref{fig:S3}.
The corresponding estimate for the sweet-spot density is given by
\begin{align}
  n^*a^2 \approx \frac{\Delta_{\rm E}}{2\pi t_l}+\frac{\Delta_{\rm SO}}{16\pi}\left(\frac{1}{t_l}+\frac{1}{t_h}\right).
  \label{eq:nstarestimate}
\end{align}
For our choice of parameters $t_l=340\,{\rm meV}$, $t_h=12.5\,{\rm meV}$, $\Delta_{\rm E}=60\,{\rm meV}$ and $\Delta_{\rm SO}=5\,{\rm meV}$ we obtain $n^*a^2\approx 0.036$.
Numerical integeration of the density of states yields $n^*a^2=0.035$.

Due to the fixed in-plane configuration of the applied magnetic field, the carrier densities corresponding to each measured gate voltage in Fig.~\ref{fig:2}a) could not be determined for this sample.
(Switching from an in-plane to an out-of-plane Hall configuration required a thermal cycling of the device rendering to obtained Hall densities unreliable.)
However, in previous samples with similar geometry and grown under the same conditions, the carrier density modulation resulting from field effect between $0\,\si V$ and $50\,\si V$ is about $0.5\cdot10^{13}\,{\rm cm}^{-2}$ \cite{caviglia2008}, in good agreement with the carrier density values in our model calculation. The density window for which our minimal model shows a large magnetoresistance is essentially limited to a chemical potential window $\Delta\mu\sim\Delta_{\rm SO}$ around the ``sweet-spot'' density.
Both inelastic scattering processes and the presence of additional subbands may extend this energy window, if we go beyond our minimal model.

\subsection{4. Theoretical magnetoresistance for point-like and non-Gaussian scatterers}\label{sm:nonGaussian}
\begin{figure}[tb]
  \begin{center}
	 \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figS1}
  \end{center}
  \caption{Theoretical magnetoresistance for the same model parameters as in Fig.~\ref{fig:1}b, but using point-like uncorrelated disorder $q_{{\bm k}\nu,{\bm k'}\nu'}={\rm const.}|\langle u_{{\bm k}\nu}|u_{{\bm k'}\nu'}\rangle|^2$ (or $\xi=0$) (left panel) and same parameters as in Fig.~\ref{fig:1}b but using $q_{{\bm k}\nu,{\bm k'}\nu'}\propto |\langle u_{{\bm k}\nu}|u_{{\bm k'}\nu'}\rangle|^2(|\bm k-\bm k'|^2 + 1/l^2)^{-1}$ for $l=5$ lattice constants (right panel).}
  \label{fig:S1}
\end{figure}
In the main text we discussed how the amplitude of the calculated magnetoresistance drop is larger for disorder with a finite correlation length $\xi>0$. For comparison, we show in the left panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:S1} the magnetoresistance for the same parameters as in the main text, but point-like, uncorrelated scatterers. Notice that the maximum drop in this case is only about $15\%$, more than a factor of 3 smaller. Moreover the magnetoresistance is actually positive for a range of densities above the Lifshitz-point ($n_{\rm L}=1.83\cdot10^{13}/{\rm cm}^2$), but below  the sweet-spot density $n^\ast=2.2\cdot10^{13}/{\rm cm}^2$.

While it is important that the scattering amplitude has a finite correlation length, it need not necessarily be a Gaussian correlation. For comparison in the right panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:S1} we show results for a scattering amplitude proportional to $(|\bm k-\bm k'|^2 + 1/l^2)^{-1}$, like it might be produced by screened Coulomb potentials of charged impurities close to the interface. Contrary to the Gaussian case there is now a significant amount of scattering at large momenta including backscattering. Still we find that for a screening length $l$ of 5 lattice constants the magnetoresistance is already enhanced by a factor of 2 compared to point-like scatterers and the positive magnetoresistance at lower densities is suppressed.
\subsection{5. Theoretical magnetoresistance as a function of the alignment between the magnetic field and the plane of the 2DES}
\begin{figure}[tb]
  \begin{center}
	 \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figS4}
  \end{center}
  \caption{Calculated magnetoresistance as a function of the angle $\alpha$ (see inset) between the magnetic field $\bm B$ and the plane of the 2DES. Shown is the dependence for a fixed amplitude $|\bm B|=12\,\si{T}$ at $1.4\,{\si K}$ for the ``sweet-spot'' carrier density $n=2.2\cdot 10^{13}\,{\rm cm}^{-2}$ using the same band parameters as in Fig.~\ref{fig:2}b. In the case of an out-of-plane field the magnetoresistance explicitly depends on the overall scattering amplitude $\delta^2n_{\rm imp}$. Here we show three examples for the same impurity density $n_{\rm imp}=1/(5\xi)=1/(25a^2)$. The disorder amplitude $\delta$ is chosen such that the calculated zero-field resistance is comparable with our experimental values at high gate voltages, $\rho_0=70\,{\si\ohm}$, $160\,{\si\ohm}$, $275\,{\si\ohm}$ for $\delta=20\,{\rm meV}$, $30\,{\rm meV}$, $40\,{\rm meV}$, respectively.}
  \label{fig:S4}
\end{figure}
Previous experiments (see for example Ref.\ \onlinecite{benshalom2009}) have shown that the giant magnetoresistance has a strong out-of-plane anisotropy.
Upon application of an out-of-plane component to the magnetic-field the negative magnetoresistance quickly decays and turns positive.
For a comparison of our model with this characteristic experimental feature we show the calculated magnetoresistance as a function of the angle $\alpha$ between the magnetic field $|\bm B|$ and the plane of the 2DES for the ``sweet-spot'' carrier density $n^*$ and the same parameters as Fig.~\ref{fig:2}b), left panel, see Fig.~\ref{fig:S4}.
Our minimal reproduces the general shape of the observed out-of-plane anisotropy.
There is a sharp dip for perfect in-plane alignment.
Upon application of an out-of-plane component the negative magnetoresistance signal becomes positive.
This anisotropy is a consequence of the planar anisotropy of the spin-orbit coupling in the 3-band Hamiltonian, as well as the absence of orbital effects $(\bm B \times \nabla_{\bm k})$ for the in-plane fields.
The resulting magnetoresistance dip explicitly depends on the overall scattering amplitude $\delta^2n_{\rm imp}$.
Fig.~\ref{fig:S4} shows three examples.
The dip is sharpest for small values of the disorder amplitude $\delta$.
We note that the longitudinal resistance obtained from the Boltzmann equation at a $12\,{\si\tesla}$ perpendicular field is likely to be an overestimate, because at large perpendicular fields additional ``skipping''-orbit channels appear from that are missing in the Boltzmann approach.
These would cause an increase of the Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}$ and a decrease in the longitudinal resistance.

\subsection{6. Spin-orbit corrections to the Boltzmann transport}
When the wave functions of the conducting electrons have a non-trivial orbital and spin character, like in
multiband spin-orbit coupled materials, new intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that are absent in simpler systems
show up in determining the transport properties of complex materials.
Three different mechanisms that are well known studied in the framework of the anomalous Hall effect can be discussed and systematically included in the Boltzmann transport description\cite{Nagaosa2010}.

The first correction to Eqs.~\eqref{conductivity} and \eqref{boltzmann} is not dependent on the scattering process, because it
follows from an intrinsic property of the band structure.
The non-trivial Berry curvature $F_{{\bm k},\nu}$ of the bands in presence of spin-orbit coupling
acts as a magnetic field in the momentum space and couples
to the electric field to give an additional velocity $-{\bm F}_{{\bm k},\nu} \times e{\mathbf{E}}$ to the quasi-particle in the state
$({\bm k}, \nu)$.
As said before the topological correction does not depend on the details of the scattering. So it can be dominant
or subdominant (with respect to the mechanisms we discuss below) depending on the strength of the disorder and the density of impurities.
However, its contribution to the (transversal) conductivity always remains of the order of the conductance quantum.
We find that both measured and calculated longitudinal conductivities are much larger than $e^2/h$.
In comparison with the longitudinal magnetoresistance which is of the order of the total resistance it can thus only give rise to small corrections.
We do not consider these here.

The two mechanisms that we discuss below instead explicitly depend on the scattering processes.
The first correction originates from asymmetric (\emph{skew}) scattering of polarized electrons accelerated by an electric field.
As we do in the main text impurity scattering is commonly treated in the lowest Born approximation, where the transition rate
is given by the Fermi golden rule $q_{{\bm k}'\nu', {\bm k} \nu} = 2\pi {\vert \langle {\bm k}' \nu' | V | {\bm k} \nu \rangle \vert}^2/ \hbar$.
One of the limitations of this approximation is that it does not take into account the skew scattering, because ${\vert V_{{\bm k}'\nu', {\bm k} \nu}\vert}^2$
is clearly symmetric upon exchange of the initial and final states.
In order to include antisymmetric corrections, the rate
must be computed including higher orders in the perturbative expansion of the full scattering $T$-matrix.
The first skew term is proportional to $V^3$.
At this order,
the semiclassical equation is still fully consistent compared to a rigorous quantum mechanical calculation.
In the weak disorder limit (to linear order in the impurity density $n_{\rm imp}$) the antisymmetric component of the transition probability is
\begin{eqnarray}
 q^{sk}_{{\bm k}' \nu', {\bm k} \nu}=
 \quad-\frac{(2\pi)^2}{\hbar} \sum_{{\bm q}, \nu''} &\Bigg[\Im \Big( \langle
 V_{{\bm k}'\nu', {\bm k} \nu} V_{{\bm k} \nu, {\bm q} \nu''} V_{{\bm q} \nu'', {\bm k}' \nu'} \rangle_{dis} \Big ) \nonumber\\
 &\cdot\delta (\epsilon_{{\bm k},\nu} - \epsilon_{{\bm q},\nu''})\Bigg],
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
 &V_{{\bm k}'\nu', {\bm k} \nu} V_{{\bm k} \nu, {\bm q} \nu''} V_{{\bm q} \nu'', {\bm k}' \nu'} \propto \nonumber\\
 &\quad\langle u_{{\bm k}' \nu'} \vert u_{{\bm k} \nu}\rangle \langle u_{{\bm k} \nu} \vert u_{{\bm q} \nu''}\rangle
 \langle u_{{\bm q} \nu''} \vert u_{{\bm k}' \nu'}\rangle
 \label{skew}
\end{eqnarray}
where the disorder average has been introduced.
Notice that naturally $q^{sk}$ violates the detailed-balance condition, but still an important sum-rule is satisfied.
\begin{eqnarray}
&q^{sk}_{{\bm k}'\nu', {\bm k} \nu}
= -q^{sk}_{{\bm k} \nu, {\bm k}'\nu'},\\
&\sum_{{\bm k}', \nu'} q^{sk}_{{\bm k}' \nu', {\bm k} \nu} =
\sum_{{\bm k}', \nu} q^{sk}_{{\bm k} \nu, {\bm k}' \nu'} = 0.
\end{eqnarray}
We do not consider further contributions on the order $n_{\rm imp}^2$, here.

In addition to skew-scattering, the electronic wave packet accelerated by an electric field is subjected to the shift $\delta {\bm r}_{{\bm k}',{\bm k}}$ (\emph{side-jump})
of its center of mass during a scattering event. The gauge-invariant expression
for the coordinate shift can be expressed in terms of the Pancharatnam-Berry phase $\Phi_{{\bm q} \nu'',{\bm k} \nu,{\bm k}' \nu'}$ \cite{Sinitsyn2006},
\begin{align}
\delta {\bm r}_{{\bm k}' \nu',{\bm k} \nu} = &- \Big( \frac{\partial}{\partial {\bm k}''} \Phi_{{\bm q} \nu'',{\bm k} \nu,{\bm k}' \nu'} \Big)_{{\bm k}'' \rightarrow {\bm k}} \nonumber\\
 &- \Big( \frac{\partial}{\partial {\bm k}''} \Phi_{{\bm q} \nu'',{\bm k} \nu,{\bm k}' \nu'} \Big)_{{\bm k}'' \rightarrow {\bm k}'},
 \label{side-jump}
\end{align}
\begin{align}
 \Phi_{{\bm q} \nu'',{\bm k} \nu,{\bm k}' \nu'}= &{\rm arg}\left(\langle u_{{\bm q} \nu''} \vert u_{{\bm k} \nu}\rangle \langle u_{{\bm k} \nu} \vert u_{{\bm k}' \nu'}\rangle
 \langle u_{{\bm k}' \nu'} \vert u_{{\bm q} \nu''}\rangle\right) .
\end{align}
The presence of the side-jump has two effects on the transport.
First, the accumulation of coordinate shifts after many scattering events
gives (in the lowest Born approximation) a correction to the velocity
${\bm v}^{sj}_{{\bm k} \nu} = \sum_{{\bm k}', \nu'} q_{{\bm k}' \nu', {\bm k} \nu}
\delta {\bm r}_{{\bm k}'\nu',{\bm k}\nu}$.
Second, a particle scattered by an impurity under side-jump acquires a kinetic energy
$\Delta \epsilon_{{\bm k}' \nu', {\bm k} \nu} = e{\bm E} \cdot \delta {\bm r}_{{\bm k}' \nu',{\bm k} \nu}$ in order to compensate the change
in the potential energy induced by the electric field. As a consequence, the equilibrium distribution $f_0$ experiences an additional shift:
\begin{eqnarray}
 f_0(\epsilon_{{\bm k},\nu})-f_0(\epsilon_{{\bm k}',\nu'}) =
 -(\partial f_0 / \partial \epsilon_{{\bm k},\nu}) \Delta \epsilon_{k' \nu', {\bm k} \nu}\ .
\end{eqnarray}
Including all the terms, the conductivity tensor is given by
\begin{equation}
  \sigma_{ij}=e\sum_{{\bm k},\nu}(\frac{1}{\hbar}\frac{\partial \epsilon_{{\bm k}, \nu}}{\partial {\bm k}} + v^{sj}_{{\bm k}, \nu}
  )_i\partial g_{{\bm k},\nu}/\partial E_j -\varepsilon_{ij} eF^z_{\bm k,\nu}f_0(\epsilon_{\bm k,\nu}),
\end{equation}
where $\varepsilon_{ij}$ is the two-dimensional antisymmetric tensor and $g_{{\bm k},\nu}$ solves the modified Boltzmann equation \cite{Nagaosa2010}
\begin{widetext}
\begin{align}
  -e\Big(\frac{1}{\hbar}\frac{\partial \epsilon_{{\bm k}, \nu}}{\partial {\bm k}}\cdot {\bm E}\Big)\frac{\partial f_0}{\partial \epsilon_{{\bm k},\nu}}=
\sum_{{\bm k}',\nu'} \Big( q_{{\bm k}'\nu',{\bm k}\nu}+q^{sk}_{{\bm k}'\nu',{\bm k}\nu} \Big)
\Big (g_{{\bm k},\nu}-g_{{\bm k}',\nu'}- \frac{\partial f_0}{\partial \epsilon_{{\bm k},\nu}}
\Delta \epsilon_{{\bm k}' \nu', {\bm k} \nu} \Big )\delta(\epsilon_{{\bm k},\nu}-\epsilon_{{\bm k}',\nu'}) .
&\label{boltzmann_skew}
\end{align}
\end{widetext}

Discarding the intrinsic Berry-curvature correction, we numerically solve equation \eqref{boltzmann_skew} for scattering from correlated impurities where the amplitude of the disorder potential is
uniformly distributed in the asymmetric range $\delta[-1+\Delta,1+\Delta]$ (notice that for a symmetric distribution the Gaussian
correlator $\langle V^3\rangle_{dis}$ appearing in the skew-scattering term automatically vanishes).
However, we find that the product of the three overlaps $\langle u_{{\bm q} \nu''} \vert u_{{\bm k} \nu}\rangle \langle u_{{\bm k} \nu} \vert u_{{\bm k}' \nu'}\rangle
 \langle u_{{\bm k}' \nu'} \vert u_{{\bm q} \nu''}\rangle$ is strictly real for arbitrary momenta and band indices when the magnetic field is applied in the
 plane of the 2DES. Hence both the skew-scattering \eqref{skew} and the side-jump \eqref{side-jump} terms turn out to be zero
 for in-plane field.

Although here we computed the Pancharatnam-Berry phase numerically, it is easy to analytically show the same result but for the simpler case of
the Rashba Hamiltonian.
In momentum space, the Rashba Hamiltonian has a 2x2 matrix structure.
Hence the relevant product of wavefunction overlaps, or more precisely, the argument of this quantity (the Pancharatnam-Berry phase) is equivalent to half the solid angle the Bloch
states $u_{\bm k}$, $u_{\bm k'}$, and $u_{\bm q}$ span on the Bloch sphere.
Since for an in-plane Zeeman term the Rashba Hamiltonian may be expanded solely in terms of the
Pauli matrices $\hat{\sigma}_0$, $\hat{\sigma}_x$, and $\hat{\sigma}_y$,
this solid angle vanishes identically. The same phenomenon leads to the vanishing of the side-jump.

If an out-of-plane magnetic field is switched on, all the contributions become finite, but we find them to remain small throughout our simulations.
More explicitly, for the same choice of parameters of the calculations in the main text we observe numerically that both skew-scattering and side-jump contributions yield corrections less than 1\% of the calculated total magnetoresistance resistance for out-of-plane fields up to $12\,{\si\tesla}$ and distributions as asymmetric as $\Delta = 0.5$.
We do not show these results here as they are almost invisible on the scale of Fig.~\ref{fig:S4}.

Single and Happy? More Women Are Saying Yes
With Valentine's Day behind us, it might be a good time to take a look at one of the old tropes dominating our culture for far too long: the idea that single people are unhappy. The 20th century ideal of the nuclear American family, with two married, heterosexual parents and 2.2 children has been under siege for some time, but some prejudices remain. Among them is the idea that we are all destined for couplehood in some form, and that those who aren't part of one must be miserable, or lonely, at the very least.
In 1960, 72 percent of adults over 18 were married. By 2014, that figure had shrunk to 50 percent. Looking at it another way that means fully half the population is unmarried. Single people are not a minority anymore. Not everyone is meant to marry — as Henry David Thoreau once said, "I've never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude."
Marriage has many drawbacks, as any honest married person will tell you. Once married, almost every decision you make needs to take another person into account. Statistically, married people are more likely to be overweight, exercise less, and have less job satisfaction, which declines after marriage for both sexes, but even more so for women.
In contrast, singles have distinct advantages. Single people tend to have more friends, and also to have stronger relationships with family and neighbors. Unmarried women also care more about women as a group, which offers them a sense of community. They are more likely than their married counterparts to "open up" when talking to friends. Once married, women feel "disloyal" if they tell friends about marital troubles. This leads to them feeling isolated, and often this "closing down" leads to more trouble — married women don't confide their relationship woes to others until it is too late fix them.
Being single was a mark of failure during the height of American conformity, the 1950s. Unmarried women were known as "old maids," and their male counterparts were called "confirmed bachelors," often a code for a closeted homosexual. Yet prior to that there had always been a place for the singles. They were maiden aunts, nuns, priests, schoolteachers, etc., and they often lived harmoniously with their extended families. The American ideal of independence, however, pressured people, as they assimilated, to live on their own, independently, contributing to social isolation. People felt sorry for and worried about single women. I remember my cousin's best friend, who was unmarried through the conformist 1950s and 1960s. Though she was a beautiful woman with a successful career, she was referred to as "poor Rose" as though afflicted. No one considered that she might have chosen to be unmarried — and that she might prefer it.
That began to change during the era of women's liberation — a popular slogan was "a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," one of the biggest hits of the 1970s, portrayed a single career woman who was so happy she could "turn the world on with her smile," according to the theme song. It was never suggested that the character, Mary Richards, was to be pitied.
While most of us would not turn down a chance to be wedded to our soulmate, happy ever after, we know that this is a fantasy seldom achieved. Those from broken homes, victims of abuse, and people who are conflict averse sometimes prefer to avoid the battlefield of marriage. There are also people who are strong-willed, very particular or set in their ways, and/or extremely independent who prefer to stay single.

'I didn't kill my wife, she died of lungs cancer' – Late Singer, Osinachi's husband cries out
Peter Nwachukwu, the embattled husband of late gospel singer, Osinachi, has said that she died of lung cancer.
The suspect said this on Friday, June 3, shortly after he was arraigned before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on a 23-count charge that bordered on culpable homicide.
The defendant, whose wife allegedly died as a result of prolonged assault by him, pleaded not guilty to all the allegations that were contained in the charge the Federal Government preferred against him.
Following Nwachukwu's plea of innocence, Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme, in a short ruling, ordered his remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre, even as she adjourned the case till June 16 and 17 for trial.
Recall that Osinachi died on April 8, 2022 after spending some time on life support.
In reaction to the ugly incident that led to her death Senior Pastor of the Revival Assembly Church Lagos, Anselm Madubuko, had said religion killed the Ekwueme crooner.
Since her death, there have been allegations that she died as a result of gender-based violence (GBV) perpetrated by the husband.
Taking to his official Facebook page on Monday April 11, Pastor Madubuko also predicted more separations and divorces among couples.
"Religion killed Osinachi", he wrote. Adding, " Eisssssh..Coming soon. Separations and Divorces…Brace up guys. So help us dear Lord!. As long as we believe that knowing Jesus alone is not enough for heaven, people will keep dying out of fear."
