New KRG President Sworn In, New KRG Prime Minister Elected; Abdul-Mahdi Denies Calls For Resignation; Pope Francis To Visit Iraq In 2020
On June 9, the new deputy governor of Ninewa stated that the province has asked the federal government to create a joint force of Peshmerga and Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) to provide security for the province. The deputy governor, who is affiliated with the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), argued that security conditions in Ninewa have worsened, presenting an obstacle to reconstruction projects. The plan submitted by Ninewa authorities proposed that local police would secure the center of the city while Peshmerga and ISF would coordinate to protect the perimeter. On June 9, a KDP official in Mosul announced that his party was in talks with the federal government to reclaim administrative positions in Ninewa province that the party held before ISIS invaded, including the directorate of education, health, police and intelligence.
On June 10, Pope Francis announced his intent to visit Iraq in 2020, which would be the first papal visit to the country. Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin visited Iraq in December 2018, where he met with Christian communities and Iraqi federal and Kurdish leaders. On June 13, President Salih welcomed the news of the Pope's planned visit during a meeting with Cardinal Sako, the Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans.
On June 10, Nechirvan Barzani was sworn in as president of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). Iraqi President Barham Salih, former Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoğlu, leader of the Hikmah movement Ammar al-Hakim, attended the ceremony, along with other political figures. In an apparent thaw in relations between the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and Barzani's Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), the PUK attended the swearing-in ceremony with a delegation that included PUK secretary general Kosrat Rasul Ali. PUK officials had previously announced they would only attend if the KDP was ready to abide by the deal the two parties reached in March. The PUK's main demand concerns the appointment of a governor for Kirkuk province. This apparent thaw was short-lived, though. On June 12, a PUK member asserted that the KDP had rejected all the PUK candidates presented as an option for Kirkuk governor. A member of the PUK leadership council, Ferid Assasard, stated that his party has sent a warning to the KDP threatening to not join the new government if the Kirkuk issue is not solved.
On June 10, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoğlu met with KDP President Masoud Barzani in Erbil and discussed relations between Turkey and the Kurdistan Region. Çavuşoğlu expressed Turkey's desire to participate in the reconstruction of war-damaged areas like Mosul and emphasized Turkey's commitment to improving ties between Erbil and Ankara.
On June 11, the Kurdistan Region's Parliament elected Masrour Barzani to be the region's new prime minister. Masrour is the cousin of new KRG President Nechirvan Barzani and son of former KRG President Masoud Barzani, who stepped down from office in 2017. The new prime minister had been a member of the Peshmerga and a graduate of American University in Washington, DC. He also served as the chancellor of the Kurdistan Region Security Council. He received 87 votes from the 97 MPs who attended the session. The representatives of the Kurdistan Islamic Union and Islamic Group abstained while representatives of the New Generation movement boycotted the session.
On June 11, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi rejected reports about calls for his resignation over his inability to complete his Cabinet formation. Abdul-Mahdi pointed to rivalries between political groups as partially to blame for the inability to appoint ministers for defense, interior, and justice. On June 11, the Fatih Alliance announced that they had begun to collect signatures toward proposing an amendment of the Iraqi constitution that would transfer the election of the prime minister from the parliament to the people with a direct election. Although constitutional amendments are extremely difficult to pass in Iraq, the proposal is indicative of a desire in some political circles to replace Abdul-Mahdi and impatience with the consensus-based rules for government formation. In a potential attempt to break the deadlock, a source leaked the news on June 11 that Abdul-Mahdi intended to appoint current Army Chief of Staff Othman al-Ghanmi as acting Minister of Defense, and current Deputy Minister of the Interior Mowaffaq al-Janabi as acting Minister of Interior. A member of the Committee on Security and Defense, Faleh Issawi, said that the agenda for the remaining eight sessions of parliament for the second term did not include a vote on appointees to the vacant positions.
On June 12, President Barham Salih met with visiting Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi in Baghdad and welcomed Oman's decision to reopen its embassy in Iraq, which has been closed since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. In a press release, Salih also welcomed further cooperation between the two countries. The same day, Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi spoke with bin Alawi regarding the opening of air traffic routes between Oman and Iraq and the granting of visas. Bin Alawi also met with the Iraqi Foreign Minister, Mohammed Ali al-Hakim, and discussed the signing of memoranda between the two countries in the spirit of advancing cooperation and easing tensions in the region, in a clear reference to growing tensions and threats between the U.S. and Iran. On June 13, Moqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Saeroun coalition, met with bin Alawi and praised Oman's contribution to peace and security in the Middle East.
On June 13, President Barham Salih announced that the Director General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has accepted Iraq's invitation to transfer the organization's regional office to Baghdad. There is no timeline for the transfer of the office, which is currently located in Amman.
On June 12, the United States imposed financial sanctions on one Iraqi company and two Iraqi men due to alleged ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which the U.S. designated as a terrorist organization in April. The men, Makki Kazim 'Abd Al Hamid al-Asadi and Muhammed Hussein Salih al-Hasani, allegedly received "commission payments" for contracts involving the deputy chairman of the Popular Mobilization Units Committee, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and the Baghdad-based South Wealth Resources Company (SWRC). The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) claimed that the SWRC and the two individuals have "trafficked hundreds of millions of dollar's worth of weapons to IRGC-QF [Quds Force]-backed Iraqi militias," a unit of the IRGC responsible for extraterritorial operations.
On June 13, parliament voted to appoint a new secretary of the cabinet and a new director for the Prime Minister's office, electing Hamid al-Ghazi and Mohammed Abdul Rida, respectively. A parliamentary source said the appointments underline the legislature's determination to fill all key positions currently managed by acting administrators with permanent appointments.

On June 8, an IED detonated on the outskirts of Khanaqin in northeastern Diyala province, wounding one citizen. On June 11, a roadside bomb exploded in the same province near the village of al-Mkhaysa, killing one farmer. The next day, another bomb exploded in Khanaqin, seriously injuring one civilian. On June 12, a plastic container filled with explosives, operated by a remote control, detonated in the al-Goba district in Diyala province without causing injuries.
On June 8, the Diyala Police Command said a suicide bomber was killed and three alleged terrorists were arrested in the al-Hamed area, east of Baquba. The suicide bomber was reportedly wearing an explosive belt, intending to detonate it in the city of Baquba.
On June 8, three IED attacks struck in Kirkuk province, killing and wounding eight people. The first bomb exploded next to a road near the village of al-Gharab in al-Dibis district, killing one member of the federal police and one civilian and injuring one more. Another bomb targeted the federal police in the village of Saadouniyah, killing one officer and injuring two. A third bomb exploded in the village of al-Asriya, killing one citizen and injuring one federal police officer.
On June 9, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) announced that 70 percent of mines and other unexploded munitions remain uncleared in Iraq. The statement from UNMAS notes the presence of these explosive devices as one of the main inhibitors for the safe return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) back to their homes.
On June 10, New Zealand's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, announced that the country will withdraw all its forces in Iraq by June 2020. Troops from New Zealand and Australia have trained Iraqi soldiers in Iraq's Camp Taji, north of Baghdad, since 2015 and so far the combined forces have trained around 44,000 Iraqi forces to fight against ISIS.
On June 10, the head of the Iraqi Interpol, Major General Sadiq Faraj Abdul Rahman, announced that 653 "red notices" have been issued against Iraqis wanted by Baghdad. The officer added that his organizations awaits the completion of the legal extradition mechanisms required to prosecute fugitives. Abdul Rahman said Iraqi authorities are working with their Syrian counterparts to prepare for the extradition of wanted former Baghdad Mayor Na'eem Aboub.
On June 11, members of parliament from Diyala called on Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi to send counterterrorism forces and military reinforcements to the province. Representative Ahmed al-Jubouri stressed the need to "confine arms to the state." The statement followed the June 2 killing of three locals by militias, which caused 50 families to flee the area.
On June 11, a militant lobbed a grenade at security forces in the al-Ma'amil area, northeast of Baghdad. The bomb killed one member of the security forces and injured four others.

EU Ministers Discuss International Court In Iraq For European ISIS Fighters; Protestors Demand Better Electricity Provision; Refugees Trickle Back Into Iraq
On June 6, France's Justice Minister, Nicole Belloubet revealed that European justice ministers were discussing the idea of establishing an international court in Iraq. This proposed court would oversee cases for European citizens who fought for ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Belloubet stressed that the concept would require Iraqi participation. On June 7, European leaders met to discuss the possibility of forming such a court. The Swedish and German governments expressed support for the proposal, so long as the court is held to international standards. Germany, like many other European countries, has been unwilling to take back their foreign nationals, fearing that they would struggle to convict the suspected fighters and keep them incarcerated for long durations.
On June 7, 13 Yazidi refugees returned to Sinjar from the al-Hol refugee camp in Syria. They had been kidnapped by ISIS and forced to fight for the organisation in Syria before being rescued by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). A Yezidi organization estimates that about 300 refugees still remain in al-Hol believing that ISIS has completely eliminated their communities. On June 9th, Rudaw reported that thousands of Yazidis remain on Mount Sinjar, despite water and food shortages, because that are afraid to return to their villages.
On June 8, 12 Iraqi refugees landed in Baghdad International Airport from the al-Rukban IDP camp in Syria. Ahmed Rahim Hassan, the director of the External Migration Department in the Ministry of Displacement and Migration, announced that the repatriation was coordinated with the Syrian government. The families are to be resettled back to the town of Husaybah in Anbar province.
On June 9, the mayor of Sinjar, Mahma Khalil, announced that plans for the return and settlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to northwest Iraq had been delivered to both the federal and local Ninewa governments. Khalil argued that the completion of resettlement programs for Yezidis, who the mayor said make up 30 percent of all IDPs, would help secure peace and stability in their regions. Khalil also iterated the importance of providing financial aid to these returning families to facilitate their return and enable them to support security forces.
On June 9, The National reported that Iraq has offered to remove the death sentence for 11 French citizens in exchange for € 2 million. An Iraqi security official told The National that French and Iraqi officials have been in negotiations and that in addition to the monetary payoff, Iraq is asking for French military equipment. Both the French President's office and the Iraqi Embassy in Paris denied this report. On June 11, a spokesman for Iraq's Judiciary, Judge Abdul Sattar al-Birqdar, also refuted any such deal, saying any such change in these sentences will come from the Iraqi courts and not "on dealings between governments".
On June 10, protestors gathered in the town of al-Hamza in Diwaniyah province to protest frequent electricity shortages and called upon the government to address the issue. On June 12, the Minister of Electricity, Luay al-Khatib, announced that the problem is due more to poor distribution networks than actual power generation deficits. The minister added that current electrical output allows for a minimum of 20 hours a day across most of the country, but that the infrastructure is not developed enough to deliver the electricity. Al-Khatib stated that total system repair and overhaul would cost about $20 billion.
On June 12, the Iraqi Minister of Immigration, Nofal Baha Moussa, met with the undersecretary of the German Economic Cooperation and Development Ministry to discuss the return of Iraqi refugees living in Germany. The Iraqi minister said Iraq seeks to encourage the voluntary return of refugees and stressed that Iraq will need international assistance in rebuilding the country and creating favorable conditions for returnees.
On June 12, the World Health Organisation (WHO) gifted ten ambulances to Iraq for use in the provinces of Salahuddin, Duhok, Erbil and Ninewa. Iraq had lost many of its ambulances during years of war with ISIS, causing a serious disruption to medical services. The WHO has so far donated 151 ambulances with 20 more expected in the coming months.
On June 12, the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) distributed financial grants to the families in Mosul that have been affected by recent disasters. Cash grants were distributed to 40 families of victims of the ferry sinking accident and to 60 families impacted by recent flooding near the city. The IRCS had participated in search and rescue efforts following the ferry incident and also distributed food aid to families affected by the floods.
Fires Destroyed 12,800 Acres Last Month; Iraq Pays Down Energy Debt Owed To Iran; Integrity Commission Investigates Power Plant Deal For Signs Of Corruption
On June 6, the Saudi paper Arab News reported that Iranian and U.S. officials possibly reached an agreement regarding U.S. sanctions on Iran, allowing Iran to continue selling small amounts of oil in exchange for certain goods. The alleged agreement has been confirmed by several Iraqi officials, but U.S. government sources denied it exists. If implemented, exchanges of Iranian oil and imported goods would take place on Iraqi soil, allowing the U.S. to monitor the exchanges and prevent Iran from receiving any funds.
On June 9, the Iraqi Civil Defense directorate reported that 236 fires have destroyed 5,183 hectares (over 12,800 acres) of farmland during the past month. The fires were concentrated in the provinces of Kirkuk, Ninewa, Salahuddin, and Diyala, all of which continue to see higher levels of violence than the rest of Iraq. Despite the damages incurred by many farmers in these areas, the overall harvest is better than last year's. On June 8, the Iraqi Minister of commerce, Mohammad Hashim Al-Ani, announced that around 2.5 million tons of wheat had been harvested around the country as of June 7. On June 9, the Civil Defense directorate revealed the causes of the fires, citing 74 cases of faulty electrical connections, 35 deliberate acts, 25 fires by sparks from crop harvesters, 22 cases from cigarette butts, 32 cases involving external fire sources, and 84 cases in which the causes are yet to be determined.
On June 9, the Iranian Energy Ministry announced that Iraq has paid 50 percent of its total debt to Iran from importing Iranian electricity, explaining that Iran receives the fees from Iraq in dinars and euros. In July 2018, Iran halted the trade of electricity to Iraq due to these unpaid bills, which led to violent protests in Basra. Due to U.S. sanctions on Iran, it is unclear if Iranian electricity supplies will continue for much longer. The U.S. issued a waiver in March allows Iraq to important natural gas and electricity through June 18. Gas imports from Iraq were expected to increase from 28 million cubic meters to 35 million cubic meters in June, but it is unclear if the U.S. will issue another waiver after the June 18 deadline. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly assured Iraqi officials that Washington will renew the waivers, but this has not happened yet. Iranian imports provide about 40 percent of Iraq's power supply and a disruption would further worsen Iraq's chronic power shortages.
On June 12, the Iraqi Integrity Commission said it was looking into possible corruption and waste of public funds in a contract to supply generation turbines to a power station. The contract under investigation concerns a power plant In the town of al-Khala in Maysan province, and is valued at $22 million. The Commission noted that the cost of the turbines appears excessive and that that Maysan officials awarded the contract without competition. A judge overseeing the case has contacted the Ministry of Electricity to initiate an administrative investigation.
On June 13, the first deputy governor of Najaf, Hashim al-Gar'awi, announced that Najaf will soon receive mobile power stations supplied by the federal government. The announcement comes after his meeting with the Prime Minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to discuss debottlenecking the province's electric grid and plans to transform the Sea of Najaf into a tourist site.

India's positioning is unique in the grocery and overall retail space. Over 90% of India's retail network is unorganized. In the current scenario, with the increase in preferences for non-touch practices and the growth of online retail, technology acts as a new growth driver for Indian retail.

Tubular glass containers for science & laboratory, specimen storage, retail packaging. We can also offer a wide range of closures to suit.
We offer a range of standard sizes of containers from stock and can produce at short notice. Additionally we are happy to manufacture non standard sizes which, due to our wide range of stocked tubing, we can also offer a quick turnaround.
We offer our glass products in three types of glass all of which are pharmaceutical quality.
A general purpose glass suitable for most applications provided that it will not be subjected to thermal shock i.e. heated and rapidly cooled.
Where thermal shock is anticipated, this type of glass offers the ultimate in resistance. Commonly referred to as Pyrex ® this type of glass is widely used in kitchenware. These qualities do however come at a price and borosilicate glass is somewhat more expensive than soda glass.
This glass type offers a compromise between soda and borosilicate both in terms of price and performance. It is also commonly mistakenly referred to as borosilicate. For laboratory uses, neutral glass is now probably the most commonly specified material.
SODA and NEUTRAL glass types are also available in amber as well as clear.
Our machines can process glass diameters from 4mm to 80mm and lengths from 20mm to 1000mm. Round and flat bases, with or without rim.
Glass is nonporous and impermeable, so there are no interactions between glass packaging and products to affect the flavour of food and beverages.
For simple tubular glass products such a specimen containers and test tubes, no tooling is required.

Doom 3 retells the story of the original Doom, and, as such, you still play as a lone space marine in a base on the Phobos moon of Mars in the year 2145. However, you fight your way through a much more detailed world than the ray-casted, sprite-based world of Doom. This is due to the new game's highly realistic character models, which are adorned with bump- and normal-mapping to smooth out their polygonal edges and make them look more convincing. Developer id Software is also hoping to scare the pants off of you with roaring demons and groaning zombies whose voices are articulated by six-channel Dolby surround support.
What we've seen of Doom 3's single-player, so far, seems extremely impressive. Its graphics are nothing short of amazing, and the game sounds fantastic as well. What's more, while Doom 3 might have previously seemed like a rather straightforward shooter, it actually seems to have a number of interesting additional gameplay elements that directly affect the game. We earnestly hope that the rest of the single-player game can be as consistently atmospheric, good-looking, and as exciting as what we've seen so far.

To say that the expectations are high for Neverwinter Nights 2 would be a massive understatement. Not only is it the sequel to one of the best role-playing games ever to bear the Dungeons & Dragons license, but it's also been developed by some of the creative talent behind such other revered role-playing games as Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale. The good news is that Neverwinter Nights 2 lives up to its pedigree by delivering a captivating story full of exciting twists and characters who you'll grow attached to out of fondness or, perhaps even better, complete loathing. It's not without a few frustrating technical shortcomings, but overall Neverwinter Nights 2 is a great role-playing adventure that just about anyone can enjoy.
This game sounds much better than it looks. There's a ton of voiced dialogue in the game, and although some of the voices are annoying, all of the main characters sound great, and their respective voices lend each one a lot of personality. From the sinister-sounding evil wizard to the feisty young demon girl, the voices all sound appropriate and fitting. The music is excellent, with dramatic orchestrated tracks that sound as if they could be taken right from a big-budget Hollywood film. The music does a great job of setting an appropriately grandiose and bombastic backdrop for your adventure, without being overwhelming.
If you're willing to look past a few relatively minor technical issues, you'll have a great time exploring the world of Neverwinter Nights 2. The excellent story, characters, and quests will appeal to your sense of adventure without getting overly convoluted. The many paths you can take through the lengthy single-player campaign are enough to make this game worth your money, but when you factor in the multiplayer and the editing tools you'll find that Neverwinter Nights 2 is a fantastic value and a thoroughly enjoyable game.

Despite the title, Loki has an equal-opportunity philosophy when it comes to ancient mythology. You choose from male or female warrior and mage characters from the Norse, Greek, Egyptian, and Aztec traditions and engage in four different lengthy campaigns that can be played solo or with up to six friends in cooperative mode (although there is no matching server, so it can be tough to hook up with fellow players). Things start off with you playing errand boy for the three principal gods in your pantheon (a lineup that includes heavy hitters such as Athena, Isis, Tyr, Quetzalcoatl, and the like), but then move on to you defending a collection of multicultural divinities that looks like an old United Colors of Benetton ad. The end goal is to defeat the machinations of the evil Egyptian god, Seth, who has defied divine rules and crossed into other mythologies in the standard megalomaniacal bad-guy quest to take over the universe.
Character development is an equal mix of the simple and compelling. Leveling up is a quick process of assigning points to attributes like strength and vitality. Added special battle abilities are gained with points earned every time you max out your faith bar. Basically, this lets you suck up to your three principal gods and take on combat buffs like Thor's Bull's Charge and spells like Ra's Fireball. The whole faith system is actually laid out in a very similar fashion to the skill masteries in Titan Quest, although the number of options here are even more varied. You're generally stuck on a linear path when picking abilities, however, so this doesn't afford a great deal of character customization.
All told, Loki is one of those rare, totally derivative pleasures. A game that will inspire a lot of déjà vu but very little boredom.

The line between games and movies is sort of blurred in the structure of the game. While the play style holds tight to the point-and-click adventure template, the game is constructed solely with still photos that give your jaunt the vibe of an indie film. So even though you play a stereotypical sleuth looking to solve the mystery of the ancient Obsidian Disk on the island of Capri, the atmosphere is quite different from the sorts of adventures you might be accustomed to. Thousands of photos depicting everything from seaside vistas to cobblestone roads, to the many quaint shops lining the narrow streets of the titular town of Anacapri, give you the impression that you've embarked on a real trip to the exotic Mediterranean locale. The gameworld is absolutely massive, so it frequently feels as if you're really exploring all of the crooks and crannies of the island.
If it were a relic from the early 90s, Anacapri: The Dream might be worth a play for the nostalgia factor alone. A "so bad it's good" vibe also creeps into the adventure through the voice acting, almost giving you the feeling that you're reliving some fond memory that hasn't aged particularly well. But you're not, and considering that the longing for a bygone day is the only possible reason for playing this backward game, you'll soon get tired of flipping through photographs and move on to something more modern and more competently designed.

Few jobs in history were more dangerous and harrowing than being a submarine crewman for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. Three out of every four men who signed up for U-boat duty never survived the war, but their effect both psychologically and logistically on Allied shipping and the war effort in general was undeniable. Winston Churchill himself claimed that the only thing that truly frightened him during the entire conflict was, as he put it, "the U-boat peril." Many simulations have been created that let you command a sub in the Battle of the Atlantic, but Silent Hunter III sets a new standard both for this particular type of sim and for the genre as a whole. It hearkens back to the days of Aces of the Pacific, Red Storm Rising, and Red Baron II, where the focus was on simulating what it was like to be a pilot or nuclear sub captain instead of on meticulously re-creating every piece of hardware down to the last rivet at the expense of overall gameplay. That's not to say that Silent Hunter III skimps on the hardware modeling--the attention to detail is fantastic--but it lets you concentrate on the exciting parts of being a sub captain instead of saddling you with loads of tedious duties in the name of "realism."
Once you've accepted command of a sub, you can modify it based on how much renown you've accumulated in the training missions and also in previous patrols. You gain renown from sinking ships, and then you can spend it on sub upgrades like sonar, engine superchargers, and improved torpedoes. Available upgrades vary from sub to sub, and as newer U-boats become available you can cash in large amounts of renown to trade up. It's a simple system that adds a lot of flavor to the game and really helps you get attached to your sub.
Silent Hunter III shipped with some bugs, including severe graphics problems with certain Nvidia and ATI cards, which were almost immediately addressed in a patch that was used during the preparation of this review. There are still a few kinks to work out--we've loaded saved games where every ship in the ocean was frozen in place, forcing us to end a patrol early, for example. There also are a few annoyances like poor crew management tools and the fact that there is no easy way to change key bindings, which is a major problem since the default key for launching torpedoes is right next to the default key for centering the rudder. None of these issues change the fact that this is an outstanding WWII submarine simulation in every regard. It provides enough challenges and rewards to appeal to nearly any simulation fan, and it does an excellent job of balancing simulation detail with visceral, seat-of-your-pants gameplay. It lets you feel like you are a submarine captain in charge of a powerful but fragile U-boat, it provides a sobering history lesson, and the campaign makes you feel like you are a small but important part of a much larger conflict. Those are the hallmarks of a truly great simulation.

It's an enjoyable game with a fun Indiana Jones-inspired story, but a very similar game launched a couple of weeks back, Heroes of Hellas, outshines Lost Treasures of El Dorado in virtually all respects.
Donning an Indiana Jones-like fedora, you're summoned in Egypt to help find a missing woman, Alicia, who disappeared after following a newly uncovered artifact. You graciously accept the mission and whisk off to New York City to learn more about this relic, and then you're off to France, then England, and many other destinations as you work to unravel the mystery.

BOSTON (AP) R.J. Hunter matched his career high with 27 points as Georgia State ended Northeastern's unbeaten Colonial Athletic Association run 78-73 Wednesday night.
Georgia State (11-12, 6-4) trailed 46-39 at halftime but went ahead 54-52 on Hunter's 3-pointer with 13:55 left. The bucket came amid a 24-2 run that put the Panthers up 66-54 with 7:49 remaining. Hunter scored 13 points during that span, including a trio of 3-pointers.
Northeastern (13-8, 8-1) pulled back within 70-69 with 2:22 left, but made just 1 of 3 shots in the final 2 minutes while Georgia State hit 6 of 8 free throws.
Reggie Spencer scored 17 points for the Huskies, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped. Northeastern was attempting to match its best conference start in program history - a 9-0 start in ECAC North play in 1986-87.
The Panthers shot 50.9 percent (28 of 55), including 11 of 26 on 3-pointers.

1 clump with several stems and rhizomes.
This unusual form of beebalm is probably Monarda clinopodia, although i haven't confirmed that yet. They seem a little less aggressive then the common red beebalm (M. didyma). Prefers well drained soil and part shade, but adaptable. Spreads by rhizome to form a colony. Edible flowers and leaves, i like to eat the florets of the flowers as well as make tea or infused vinegar from the leaves. Attractive to many pollinators. Native to New England, but not historically known in Maine.

A simple coarse-grained model of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was developed, featuring only two sites per nucleotide that represent the centers of mass of the backbone and sugar/base groups. Interactions between sites are described using tabulated bonded potentials optimized to reproduce the solution structure of DNA observed in atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Isotropic potentials describe nonbonded interactions, implicitly taking into account the solvent conditions to match the experimentally determined radius of gyration of ssDNA. The model reproduces experimentally measured force–extension dependence of an unstructured DNA strand across 2 orders of magnitude of the applied force. A complete description of the model was published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation.
All required configuration files can be downloaded. To use the model, a custom version of NAMD must be compiled using a patch provided in the archive. For questions, contact Christopher Maffeo.
Grid-steered molecular dynamics (G-SMD) is a flexible method for applying forces that our group has implemented in NAMD. Much as in experiment, simulation studies often involve perturbing the system in some way and monitoring the result. As simulations have become bigger, longer, and more complex, the need for more sophisticated forcing techniques has increased. In the G-SMD method, an arbitrary external potential field, defined on a grid, is applied to desired target atoms with arbitrary coupling, making it a very flexible tool. Because it is coded natively in NAMD, the performance impact of G-SMD is minimal. G-SMD provides tremendous flexibility in the forces that can be applied. It was originally designed to apply an enhanced electrostatic field to DNA threaded through the membrane protein α-hemolysin in order to realistically increase the DNA translocation speed. It is the basis for a method of combining crystallographic structures and cryo-EM maps to obtain an all-atom model developed by Trabuco et al. and called Molecular Dynamics Flexible Fitting (MDFF). A variation of this approach was also recently used by our group to study the mechanical properties of a complete microtubule.

Landskrona Foto and Lunds universitet have formed a collaborative project together under the name of Rädda Bildminnet.
Rädda Bildminnet is initially focusing on photographic collections in Skåne and its use and interest for the research. Image, visual design, qualitative use and knowledge relating to photographic material play an important role in almost all empiric topics. The project aims at finding a research based strategy that describes which images should be conserved and how this evaluation could be done. Here a well thought-out plan must be conceived in order to know how to develop an inventory of collections and images. In this work the central role will be to approach questions such as what role the photograph plays for the society and the research.
The problems concerning the conservation of the photographic heritage of culture has been highly topical for a long time in Sweden, but far from being resolved in a satisfactory way.
In the collaboration concerning Rädda Bildminnet are also Riksarkivet and Malmö museer included.
In the frame of the Pufendorfinstitut at Lunds universitet an Advanced Study Group has started doing photographic research. The leader of the project Rädda Bildminnet is Alison Gerber, who holds a post doc employment at Sociologiska institutionen. The project is economically supported by Region Skåne, LMK-stiftelsen, and Crafoordska stiftelsen.

Intelligence is overrated and does not equate to quote unquote success, in real world employment your academic success will only take you so far. People who struggle academically may be easier to work with, as a result of having better social skills. As this is often the case, people who are intelligent are not necessarily better at understanding people. When people go to work places, social skills are just as important as academic levels. On the other spectrum, nothing can be achieved without hard work, schooling can help you become successful. Except for rare, almost impossible circumstances, you cannot make a living off of solely a high school education. Indeed, you can support yourself, but there is almost no way to support a family (without assistance) on $10-20,000 a year. Getting good grades, even in tough circumstances, means more about a person's character then how much weight they can lift or how many burgers they can flip in a minute. Getting those good grades throughout high school, undergrad, and grad school (If you choose this option) will not only get you jobs, but it will lead to a much higher standard of living.
Academic performance, as measured today, computes an average of your averages. Meaning that if you are in the 1% for certain skill sets it may not show at all in your academic performance. For example, you may consistently be in the top of your class for group projects or independent research, but since class averages are often only composed of 25-30% of this component, if you do not exceed your peers in other aspects of the course your strengths may not be reflected in your grades. Ultimately, averages do not show variability, so people's strengths and weaknesses are not very well measured. Therefore, how can you possibly determine one's potential for success in a given area by putting extraordinary emphasis on grades?
What do you think is the best indicator for success, whether that be employment, financial, or even academic success. Let us know in the comments!
Social Relationships: From kindergarten on, your social relationships play a big part in how well and how much you learn, perhaps even more than you realize. One study found that strong kindergarten friendships reduced the amount of behavioral problems students have and improved their social skills through third grade, especially in boys. Other studies have discovered that changes in friendships during the often tumultuous adolescent years can signal whether a student will be successful academically or not down the road. Those who develop strong friendships with others who have behavior problems, even if they have good grades, are more likely to see a drop in their own performance. Your friendships may play a bigger role than you realize in your academic performance, even early on, so make sure you're choosing your friends wisely!
Stress level: While stress can be a motivator to get things done, it can often also be an impediment to high academic performance. Studies on college students have found that stresses like finances, test pressure, depression, low-self esteem, and the dissolution of relationships (among others) can cause changes in eating habits, sleep, and difficulties adapting to new responsibilities. All of these changes, along with the stressors that caused them in the first place, were found to lower academic performance in many students. However, those with strong support systems were better able to cope and were more successful in their academics. In many cases courses on stress management helped students to stay on track with their educational goals, despite any outside stresses.
Curiosity: Curiosity might be dangerous for cats, but it's essential for students who want to succeed in school. A study published in Perspectives in Psychological Science demonstrated that curiosity is actually a big part of academic performance and that it, and personality traits like it, may actually be more important than intelligence when it comes to achievement in school. Curiosity, when studied in about 50,000 students, was found to have as big of an impact on performance as more expected traits like hard work and conscientiousness. A great reminder to always embrace learning and trying new things.
EQ: While IQ does play a role in predicting academic success, a far more telling clue is EQ, or Emotional Intelligence. Researchers found that being successful in school takes more than smarts; it also takes strong competencies in social and emotional understanding. When K-12 students were put through a course that educated them on social and emotional learning, they were found to be much more successful in school and exhibited many more positive social behaviors than their peers who did not participate in the program. While social and emotional education isn't a panacea for poor academic performance, it could help many students, young and old, to develop skills that will help them be better prepared to interact with others, work under stress, and complete course work.
Your family: It probably isn't all that surprising, but your family plays a big role in shaping your attitudes towards school and your academic performance. Researchers studied over 800 students in Chicago and Beijing, discovering that youths who feel more responsible to their parents were more likely to stay engaged in school and perform better. Of course, it's not just a matter of pleasing parents or fulfilling expectations. Family attitudes towards education, stability, and strong communication between parents and children can also have a deep and lasting impact on an individual's success in school.
Confidence: Sometimes thinking you can do something is all you need to be able to actually do something, or that's what some studies suggest. Researchers studying minority students found that many felt that they didn't belong in college or had feelings of alienation, often leading to lower grades and even dropping out. The solution? A simple 60-minute exercise that helped them to build their confidence, gave them relatable experiences, and made them feel more at home on campus. The results were staggering, with 22% of the students in the program ending up in the top 25% of their class (as opposed to just 5% of students who didn't participate). While the study focused on minorities, it could potentially be applied to any students who are struggling with school, proving that sometimes putting mind over matter is all it takes to succeed.
Class times: College students should beware when making their class schedules: class time may impact their success in a course. It sounds strange, but researchers have found that students who take classes that start later are more likely to stay up later and drink more, resulting in an accordant drop in grades. Delayed sleep also led to poorer sleep and more sleepiness throughout the day, which, as we'll discuss, can also take a pretty big toll on grades. Oddly, the opposite is true of students in middle and high school, who were more likely to attend class and be in a better state of mind when classes were held later.
Fitness: If you think heading off to college is an excuse to stop working out or staying fit, then you might want to think again. Studies have shown that there is a relationship between physical activity and academic performance. Those who stay active are more likely to do better in school, perhaps because the activity increases oxygen flow to the brain and helps release endorphins which improve mood. Though physical activity itself has a positive effect, surprisingly students who play sports in high school may not see the same jump, as little correlation was found between playing organized sports and getting better grades. That said, any kind of athletic activity that gets students moving, relieves stress, and gets students in shape is probably a good thing.
Sleep: Few things are as closely correlated with success in school as sleep. Study after study demonstrates the need to get a solid night's sleep if you want to improve or maintain your grades. Planning to pull an all-nighter to study? It's not recommended. Those who pull all-nighters are more likely to have a lower GPA. Even more importantly, bad sleep habits have been shown to strongly correlate with lower grades in high school through college. Still not convinced? Yet another study demonstrated that elementary school children who don't get enough sleep don't perform as well academically as their peers. So regardless of age, getting enough sleep is an essential, though often overlooked, aspect of academic performance.
Successful college athletics: Is your college football team doing terribly this year? It may be for the best, when it comes to your grades, anyway. A study at the University of Oregon found that male students (and females, too, to a lesser extent) who don't participate in sports are more likely to get caught up in the excitement of a winning team, increasing alcohol consumption and partying more. This was found to lead to a drop in GPA, which may have many students looking for schools that favor academics over athletics.
Health: If you're not taking care of yourself, you're probably not taking care of your grades either, studies suggest. Researchers have found that lack of sleep, excessive screen time, gambling, alcohol and tobacco use, and other health issues have a direct effect on academic performance. Those who engaged in these behaviors were more likely to be stressed, have mental health issues, and record lower GPAs. Researchers hope that the study will spur students to change some of their most unhealthy behaviors, perhaps raising their grades in the process.
