In a ceremony held on Wednesday at Embraer's facility in São José dos Campos in Brazil, Norwegian airline Widerøe accepted the first produced Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, the newest family that the Brazilian aircraft builder is developing. The aircraft type is part of a reimagined version of its current E-Jet fleet, comprised of the E170, E175, E190 and E195, using new technology to achieve better performance and fuel efficiency.
The E190-E2 is the first of three new-generation aircraft from Embraer. The rest of the revamped E-Jet models, the E175 E2 and E195 E2, are to be introduced through 2021.
"The E190-E2 is an impressive aircraft. It is the ideal airplane for Widerøe as we introduce jets for the first time in the company's 84-year history," said Stein Nilsen, Chief Executive Officer of Widerøe. "I am convinced our passengers are going to love the cabin, our operations people are going to embrace the new technology, while our financial collaborators will appreciate the economics the aircraft permits. I believe everyone is going to celebrate with, as the launch customer, the fact that we are the first airline to fly the world's most environmentally-friendly airplane. With the lowest noise and emissions among aircraft in its category."
"This is a historic day for the E-Jets program and for Embraer. The delivery of this E2 marks a continuation of a real success story in global aviation. I'm honored that Widerøe – such a respected and experienced airline – is our lunch operator," said John Slattery, President & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
"I'm also delighted to welcome Widerøe as our newest Embraer customer and want to thank Stein and his team for the support over the last year; working together with us as partners to deliver this airplane today. I'm planning on being on the aircraft when it first enters Norwegian airspace next week and really looking forward to that!"
The E190-E2 features new ultra-high bypass ratio engines and a completely new wing and landing gear system. Compared to the first-generation E190, 75 percent of the aircraft systems are new. A while back, Embraer announced some final flight tests results stating that the E2 is the most efficient single-aisle aircraft on the market. In fuel consumption, the E190-E2 proved to be 1.3 percent better than originally expected, a 17.3 percent improvement compared to the current generation E190.
The aircraft also has a seating range of 80 to 146 passengers. Widerøe's E190-E2, PR-EFL, is configured with 114 seats in a single-class layout. The regional airline has contracted for up to 15 E-Jets E2s – three firm E190-E2 orders and purchase rights for an additional 12 E2s. The total value of the order is approximately 873 million US dollars if all rights are exercised.
Just over a month ago on February 28, the newest member of the Embraer family received its type certification. It is the first time an aircraft program with the level of complexity of the E2 has received type certificates from three major worldwide authorities simultaneously: Brazil's Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency.
The E190-E2 is also the aircraft with the lowest level of external noise and emissions in the segment. Flight test results also confirmed the E190-E2 to be better than its original specification in takeoff performance. The aircraft's range from airports with "hot-and-high" conditions, such as Denver and Mexico City, increases by 600 nautical miles compared to current generation aircraft.
Its range from airports with short runways, such as London City, also increases by more than 1,000 nautical miles, allowing the aircraft to reach destinations like Moscow and North Africa.
The plane will also have the longest maintenance intervals among single-aisle aircraft, with 10,000 flight hours for basic checks and no calendar limit for typical utilization. This means an additional 15 days of aircraft utilization over ten years compared to current generation E-Jets. The longer the jet can remain flying, the more money it makes for its airlines.
A major improvement for the E-Jets E2 family is pilot transition training time. Pilots of current-generation E-Jets will need only 2.5 days of training and no full flight simulator to be qualified to fly an E2, saving airlines currently operating current generation E190s pilot training and simulator costs.
Widerøe's E190-E2 fleet will have the support of the Flight Hour Pool Program which covers more than 300 key rotatable components. Embraer's Flight Hour Pool Program, which currently supports more than 40 airlines worldwide, is designed to allow airlines to reduce the upfront cost of acquisition.
Although the aircraft has been delivered, it will not make the transatlantic trek to Norway until next week. Once in Norway, it is scheduled to make its debut flight between Bergen and Tromsø on April 24.

Eastern teaching often d escribe the seven Chakras as "whirling disks of light". Chakras are energy vortexes in the body that are located at various points along the spine. Starting at the base (of the spine) and running upwards towards the crown of the head each Chakra radiates a specific colour and energy. Furthermore, as each Chakra relates to specific spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical issues, the conscious awareness and the balancing of these energy centres lead to an overall health and well-being.
Since a Chakra treatment in 2010, which made feel feel like a whole person again, I always wanted to know more about chakras. Chatting to Andrea, I realised that tomorrow's masterclass could satisfy my curiosity. It is especially exciting because it will be part of a series of masterclasses exploring Chakras. If you are interested, join us on the Yoga Flow Masterclass – 17-11-2012.
The First Chakra (Muladhara) or "Root Chakra" located at the very base of the spine consists of energy paths that extend downward like a root through the legs and feet, grounding you to the Earth.
In this first of a seven part series we will explore and awaken the First Chakra, improving our connection with earth through standing poses and seated forward bends in an all-levels Yoga Flow class.
Come join if you like!

Telecom War Gets Messy As 5G Speed Remains Undefined
By Alex Kimani - Apr 13, 2019, 6:00 PM CDT
The battle for the best wireless network is on. After years of PR and marketing hype, wireless carriers have finally turned on their 5G networks. But don't be surprised if you discover that carrier campaigns have been outpacing actual networks—or that you are nowhere near one. Last week, buoyed by a thumbs up from the global leader in internet testing and analysis, Ookla, the nation's largest wireless carrier, AT&T, vaunted its wireless network as the nation's fastest. AT&T published speed test results that appeared to validate its new 5GE network as the fastest around.
Meanwhile, Verizon launched a 5G network in parts of Chicago and Minneapolis that has been hailed as blazingly fast —but good luck finding any coverage.
True to word, AT&T's network did clock the fastest broadband speeds by the end of Q1 2019. But averaged over an entire quarter, it was only very marginally better than what rivals Verizon and T-Mobile offered.
AT&T's average download speed by the end of the first quarter was an impressive 40.7 Mbps. But that's the case only because the carrier's new 5GE network gained serious visibility following the release of Apple's new OS.
According to the Verge, AT&T's new 5GE icon started being displayed on iPhone Max, X, XR, XS, XS max, 8 and 8 Plus devices upon the launch of iOS 12.2. Naturally, users ran speed tests to check whether the new standard was an upgrade on the existing LTE network, which in turn juiced its network numbers for the final week. AT&T has the good fortune of being home to the largest number of iPhone users of any carrier, with 70 percent of its customers toting an iPhone compared to 62 percent for Verizon and 49 percent for T-Mobile.

Averaged over the entire quarter, however, AT&T's network speed suddenly looks very average, with its network speed of 34.65 Mbps being only marginally better than T-Mobile's 34.11 Mbps or Verizon's Verizon's 33.07 Mbps.
Source: Engadget
AT&T's fortunes aside, the Verge reports that Verizon's newly launched 5G network in Chicago and Minneapolis is very threadbare and difficult to find despite hitting some impressive speeds. It appears Verizon rushed the rollout to avoid falling too far behind rivals, but now risks being shunned by customers due to poor user experience.
That's a head up to Verizon customers who might be planning to buy 5G-compatible hardware like the 5G Moto Mod and paying an extra $10 every month to the carrier to receive 5G.
Messy situation
Readers might find it disconcerting to learn that much of what U.S. carriers are now touting as 5G is far from the real thing. 5G technology is not meant to merely be an upgrade on existing 4G/LTE systems—on the contrary, its intended to be orders of magnitude better. True 5G networks could reach download speeds 100x faster than 4G and feature latencies of as low as a millisecond compared to 50 milliseconds by LTE.

Consequently, AT&T not has to contend with lawsuits including from rival carriers who say its 5GE label is misleading. A March report by OpenSignal found that AT&T 5GE was actually slower than 4G LTE service from Verizon and T-Mobile. AT&T has been playing catch up to other carriers after being late to advanced LTE and 5G parties.
The AT&T and Verizon situations are an apt demonstration of the current messy state of the 5G industry. The latest wireless technology has been marred by a litany of issues including delayed rollouts, conflicting standards, limited hardware tests and a healthy dose of political wrangling.
But with telecom companies waging an all-out war to be seen as the top dog in the space and standards still few and far between, the 5G mess will probably continue being par for the course.

GLSLCI Welcomes Waukegan Mayor Cunningham
Simran Chattha
The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, a binational group of mayors and leaders on the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River, welcomes Sam Cunningham, mayor of Waukegan, Illinois.
Mayor Cunningham joins mayors and leaders from the U.S. and Canada in their efforts to protect drinking water and build their economies on one of the most important sources of freshwater in the world.
"We are honoured to have Mayor Cunningham join this elite group of thought leaders who understand the importance of clean drinking water for their residents and the potential for economic development to the 40 million residents of this region," said John Dickert, president and chief executive officer of GLSLCI.
The GLSLCI was created in 2003 by Mayor Richard Daley (Chicago) and Mayor David Miller (Toronto) when the Midwest and Great Lakes region was not receiving the support needed to protect the region's cities during an era of declining industrial growth. Since then, the GLSLCI has worked with Washington to build the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Fund. The GLRI funds thousands of projects around the Great Lakes Region focusing the $300 million a year on projects from cleaning up legacy pollution to protection of the drinking water for over 40 million people.
"I am excited to add Waukegan's voice to this impressive group of leaders who agree upon the importance of a healthy Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River to our communities' wellbeing," said Cunningham. "Waukegan has an incredibly diverse waterfront that benefits from the clean water supplied by our water plant to over 115,000 people in Waukegan and nearby communities, a lakefront with various recreational opportunities for the public, and a robust commercial presence from a deep-water harbor and thriving marina."

The health of Lake Michigan is key to the City of Waukegan and beyond. "We look forward to working with Mayor Cunningham, who in the short time we have known each other, has brought new ideas to examine," Dickert said. "The Mayor has a strong vision of how to build a better city and economy utilizing this precious resource."

10 ways vegetarianism can help save the planet
guardian.co.uk | 08/04/10
Read More: environment, reasons, veg
The average British carnivore eats more than 11,000 animals in their lifetime, each requiring vast amounts of land, fuel and water to reach the plate. It's time to think of waste as well as taste
If we really want to reduce the human impact on the environment, the simplest and cheapest thing anyone can do is to eat less meat. Behind most of the joints of beef or chicken on our plates is a phenomenally wasteful, land- and energy-hungry system of farming that devastates forests, pollutes oceans, rivers, seas and air, depends on oil and coal, and is significantly responsible for climate change. The way we breed animals is now recognised by the UN, scientists, economists and politicians as giving rise to many interlinked human and ecological problems, but with 1 billion people already not having enough to eat and 3 billion more mouths to feed within 50 years, the urgency to rethink our relationship with animals is extreme.
1 Overheating the planet
We humans eat about 230m tonnes of animals a year, twice as much as we did 30 years ago. We mostly breed four species - chickens, cows, sheep and pigs - all of which need vast amounts of food and water, emit methane and other greenhouse gases and produce mountains of physical waste.
But how much stress does our meat-eating put on ecological systems? The answer is a lot but the figures are imprecise and disputed. In 2006, the UN calculated that the combined climate change emissions of animals bred for their meat were about 18% of the global total - more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.
The authors of the report, called Livestock's Long Shadow, did not just count the methane from the belching, farting cattle, but the gases released from the manures that they produce, the oil burned taking their carcasses to markets often thousands of miles away, the electricity needed to keep the meat cool, the gas used to cook it, the energy needed to plough and harvest the fields that grow the crops that the animals eat, even pumping the water that the cattle need.
The figure was revised upward in 2009 by two World Bank scientists to more than 51%, but attempts to fully account for meat-eating are condemned as simplistic. Should the studies have been based on giant US factory farms, or on more sustainable breeding in Europe? Should you include all the knock-on emissions from clearing forests? What about the fertiliser used to grow the crops to feed to the animals, or the emissions from the steel needed to build the boats that transport the cattle; or the "default" emissions - the greenhouse gases that would be released by substitute activities to grow food if we were to give up meat? And is it fair to count animals used for multiple purposes, as they mostly are in developing countries, from providing draught power to shoe leather or transport, and which only become meat once they reach the end of their economic lives?
It's an accounting nightmare but depending on how it's done, livestock's contribution to climate change can be calculated as low as 5-10% of global emissions or as high as 50%. Last year, a Food Climate Research Network report concluded that UK meat and dairy consumption was responsible for 8% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. But however it's counted, livestock farming ranks as one of the three greatest sources of climate changing emissions and one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation.
2 Eating up land
A human population expected to grow by 3 billion, a shift in developing countries to eating more meat, and global consumption on track to double in 40 years point to the mother of all food crises down the road. How much food we grow is not just limited by the amount of available land but meat-eaters need far more space than vegetarians. A Bangladeshi family living off rice, beans, vegetables and fruit may live on an acre of land or less, while the average American, who consumes around 270 pounds of meat a year, needs 20 times that.
Nearly 30% of the available ice-free surface area of the planet is now used by livestock, or for growing food for those animals. One billion people go hungry every day, but livestock now consumes the majority of the world's crops. A Cornell University study in 1997 found that around 13m hectares of land in the US were used to grow vegetables, rice, fruit, potatoes and beans, but 302m were used for livestock. The problem is that farm animals are inefficient converters of food to flesh. Broiler chickens are the best, needing around 3.4kg to produce 1kg of flesh, but pigs need 8.4kg for that kilo.

Ring provides user data to Facebook and Google, report says
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – A new report suggests that the security company Ring is providing personally identifiable information about its users to companies like Facebook and Google.
On Monday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) published the results of its investigation into the Ring doorbell app for Android, which people use to connect to surveil their homes from their devices.
During its investigation, EFF says it found the app to be "packed" with third-party trackers that send out a "plethora" of data, including names, private IP addresses, mobile network carriers, persistent identifiers and sensor data on the devices of customers.
EFF says these five companies received information:
· Facebook, via its Graph API
· Google-owned Crashalytics
· Branch
· AppsFlyer
· MixPanel
EFF claims Ring sends this information out without meaningful user notification or consent and, in some cases, no way to mitigate the damage possibly done.
"Ring claims to prioritize the security and privacy of its customers, yet time and again we've seen these claims not only fall short, but harm the customers and community members who engage with Ring's surveillance system," wrote EFF. "In the past, we've illuminated the mismanagement of user information which has led to data breaches, and the attempt to place the blame for such blunders at the customers' feet."
Ring says it limits the amount of data it shares.
In a statement sent to Gizmodo, a Ring spokesperson said, "Like many companies, Ring uses third-party service providers to evaluate the use of our mobile app, which helps us improve features, optimize the customer experience, and evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing."

Without an URI I can't create a "share" button within the app, since I need the URI in order to reference it.
Anyone know if this is a bug or feature?
I just discovered that spotify removed the ability to read user playlists for privacy reasons[1], so now I'm wondering if this is a design decision or simply a bug. After all, the playlist in question was created in our app, so I should be able to get the URI of it?
1: Spotify Apps API: Library-class won't return users Playlists

A: Unfortunately, the URI property will only be filled if you instantiate the playlist with a URI given to you, like:
models.Playlist.FromURI("totally a valid URI");

Unfortunately, this is because playlist URIs contain the username of the creator, and we're not allowed to release personally-identifying information through our API.
We hope to change this in the future.

ONTARIO BECOMING TAMIL FOREMOST PROVINCE?
A law is valid and reliable only when it is based on truth or belief. In Democracy, belief is the base. When a law is based on belief, it would strengthen the sovereignty of the whole. When it is based on external knowledge it becomes relative and hence weakens sovereignty of the group that the law-maker is part of. That is how 'Buddhism Foremost' article in the Sri Lankan constitution has made Buddhists dependent on the Government that 'shows' most Buddhism.
Tamils who emigrated from Sri Lanka and are currently citizens of other Nations and not of Sri Lanka, have no jurisdiction to make laws after they emigrated which effectively means that they have taken compensation for their pain in Sri Lanka. When they make laws based on the past they cheat their past as well as their present.
When on 06 May, the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act, one has to look into its validity as a law. As per the published reports, the bill was moved by Scarborough-Rouge Park member of Parliament Vijay Thanigasalam who is 32 years of age. Wikipedia presents the following about this person:
[Vijay Thanigasalam is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2018 provincial election.[1] He represents the riding of Scarborough—Rouge Park as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.
Thanigasalam went to St Joan of Arc Catholic Academy (then known as Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School) and graduated in 2007. He then went on to study at the University of Toronto Scarborough and completed his Bachelor of Commerce in Finance at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology]
The above confirms that Vijay Thanigasalam lacks Sri Lankan experience in education. The LTTE is guilty of Genocide of Educated Tamils, including educated Tamil politicians. As per the Island report:
[The Bill 104, the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act, establishes seven days each year, May 11 to 18, during which Ontarians "are encouraged to educate themselves about, and to maintain their awareness of, the Tamil genocide and other genocides that have occurred in world history." The weeklong event coincides with the conclusion of Sri Lanka's successful war against the LTTE on the morning of May 19, 2009, on the banks of the Nanthikadal lagoon, sources said.]
A true Tamil would discuss and learn how the LTTE caused Genocide of educated Tamils. As per the UNHRC report, they have also included the LTTE as being part of the causal force of the Nanthikadal tragedy. There are enough victims who would provide the evidence needed to establish this.
As per the Island report:
[Canada based sources said that Vijay Thanigasalam openly identified himself with the LTTE even after the end of war. On Nov 26, 2011, Vijay Thanigasalam in a Facebook post stated: "Happy 57th birthday to our national Leader V. Prabhakaran." However, Vijay Thanigasalam apologized for sharing LTTE material. The politician stated: "In the past I shared material related to the Tamil Tigers. I apologize and I no longer hold those views."]
As per the laws of belief one needs long and uninterrupted belief to override all other titles. In Sri Lanka, in terms of property – one needs 10 years of continuous adverse possession for prescriptive title. If Ontario is to be a defacto LTTE state - Vijay Thanigasalam needs to have the courage that our politicians had in 1976 to declare belief in Tamil Nation through Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976. This happened 20 years after the Sinhala only Act - The Official Language Act No.33 of 1956
It is most disappointing that Canada is pampering Tamils for cheap political returns.

Turkey on Wednesday said it was hiking tariffs on imports of several key U.S. products in retaliation for American sanctions against Ankara, as a bitter dispute between the two allies that sent the Turkish lira into freefall showed no sign of ending.
The dispute between Turkey and the United States was sparked by a row over the detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson, who was jailed almost two years ago in the crackdown that followed a failed military coup.
On Monday, the Turkish currency hit a record low of 7.24 against the U.S. dollar in Asia Pacific trading.
Despite the political tensions, the lira rebounded 6 percent on Wednesday, strengthening to about 6.0 to the dollar.
The new Turkish tariffs came a day after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country would boycott USA electronic goods, singling out Apple's iPhones. Efforts to rally support and bolster domestic markets included a call Thursday between Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak and global investors.
Some analysts said that USA tax cuts passed previous year by Congress which are boosting corporate earnings and economic growth have reinforced the reasons for raising interest rates.
"President Erdogan appears to be playing a unsafe game if he thinks he can come out on top in this spat with the USA", he commented.
A court in the western Turkish city of Izmir rejected a new appeal to free Brunson on Wednesday, the state television TRT reported. "We have other partnerships and alternative markets".
Aretha Franklin's family has been warned that the " gravely ill " star could die at any minute, according to a long-time friend. Nearly instantly fans flocked to the powerhouse singer's star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame to pay their tributes.
Industry body Ficci welcomed "firm resolve" of the prime minister to position India among the top economies of the world. The healthcare scheme is likely to benefit 50 crore people in the country.
The currency traded 0.82 per cent weaker on the day at 6.41 to the dollar after plunging to an all-time low of 7.24 on Monday. Federal Reserve on track to raise interest rates twice more this year, which should boost the appeal of the dollar further.
"I would like to announce that after 15 seasons in the WNBA I am going to retire after the 2018 season", Whalen said. The Lynx are 200-80 in the regular season since Whalen arrived, having only missed the playoffs once.

Civil Disobedience And Martin Luther King And King Similarities
Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail were written approximately 114 years apart. However, both publications share a common theme. Each of these authors express their opinions on government injustices. The political environments in which each author lived provided their inspiration for their writings. Although many years separate these two works, there are similarities as well as differences between Thoreau's and King's written opinions.
There are several similarities present in Thoreau's Civil Disobedience and King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail. One similar opinion Thoreau and King share is their belief that protest against government injustice should be displayed and conducted in a non-violent manner. Thoreau did not recognize the government's authority over individuals, and he showed it through non-violent means. One example was the not paying of his taxes. He stated, "In fact, I quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though I will still make what use and get what advantage of her I can, as is usual in such cases." His use of the phrase "I quietly declare war..." plainly states his nonviolent protest of what he felt to be government injustice upon the citizens. King shared Thoreau's opinion that nonviolent protest was the best way to create change in government policies and laws. King states, "You may well ask: 'Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better
Civil Disobedience, And Martin Luther King Jr. 's Letter From Birmingham Jail
Today, the word disobedience carries a negative connotation that acts as a deterrent for necessary disobedience. The common way in which people view disobedience is as a rejection of a rule, law, or a simple standard. Historically, rules were implemented in ways that were deemed immoral by society. Therefore, civil disobedience is justified to combat immoral standards implemented in society. However, civil disobedience is only justified under these circumstances, mainly for the betterment of society
Compare And Contrast Martin Luther King And Thoreau
Perspectives of Martin Luther King and David Thoreau While both Martin Luther King Jr. and David Thoreau recognized that society needed modification, they acquired contrasting perspectives about the dilemma. King writes out of concern for the African-American race and believes that even though law states, something is wrong, it could be right. Thoreau believes writes out of frustration and that "Government is best which governs not at all." (Thoreau 407). King and Thoreau agree that everyone has
Socrates Vs Socrates Similarities
There is no doubt to the fact that Socrates and Martin Luther King Jr. had similar characteristics—whether it be their willingness to make the public aware or their passion to do what was right to them. But to say that Martin Luther King Jr. is a twentieth century Socrates does not seem fit to par. The way I will attempt for you to understand this will proceed as follows: I will first explain each of our character's stories, perhaps heavily implicating some of their most distinct characteristics
What Is The Role Of Civil Disobedience In The Letter From Birmingham Jail
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in Birmingham, Alabama after nine days of peaceful protests, sit-ins, and marches against the current segregation. The same day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested, eight clergymen published a statement advising African American people to rebuttal their support for Dr. King and his future demonstrations. The clergymen published that Dr. King's acts had brought hatred to the streets and it was unwise and untimely (Maranzani, 2013). Dr. Martin Luther King
Development of Transcendentalism
while philosophies of civil dispute and nonviolence may seem like a well-accepted idea today, many who fought for this type of negotiation were often considered radical for their introduction of it to society. Among those transcendentalists was Henry David Thoreau, who wrote "Civil Disobedience", Mohandas Gandhi, who wrote "Satyagraha", and Martin Luther King Jr., who wrote "Letters from Birmingham Jail". Henry David Thoreau used the theory of transcendentalism in "Civil Disobedience." These three transcendentalists
Similarities And Differences Between Martin Luther King Jr And Thoreau
In Martin Luther King's essay "Letter to Birmingham Jail", he discusses racial injustice and peaceful protest. He talks on how brutal negroes were treated in jail and by policemen. King was jailed for parading around without a permit. In Henry David Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience" Thoreau spoke on the unjust government, nonviolent revolt, and against slavery. Thoreau went to jail for not paying his poll taxes because he refuses to align himself with the state. These essays show some similarities
Civil Disobedience And Martin Luther King 's Letter From Birmingham Jail
committing civil disobedience. In Sophocles 's "Antigone" and Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail", both, King and Antigone, were supporters and activist of civil disobedience. However, both, Antigone and Martin Luther King had different methods of conducting civil disobedience and viewed civil disobedience differently. Furthermore, Antigone and Martin Luther King were both steadfast in what they believed in and used civil disobedience to fight for their cause. Despite this similarity of
Civil Disobedience and Birmingham Campaign
Civil Disobedience and Birmingham Campaign Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther king Jr. fundamentally altered the American tradition of protest and reform. Both of them shared the same idea, but viewed them differently. Dr. King wanted to ultimately raise awareness and open doors for groups while Thoreau wanted more individual rights for people. The Birmingham campaign was a movement organized by King Martin Luther in the spring of 1963 to bring attention to the integration efforts of African
Rhetorical Analysis Of Letter From Birmingham Jail
Martin Luther King Jr. targets the social injustice and racial discrimination prominent specifically in Birmingham, Alabama through his Letter from Birmingham Jail to instigate nonviolent actions in detriment to the violent racism and aggression toward the African American community. Martin Luther King Jr. underlines that hopes for the abolishment of racial discrimination have been wrongfully abated in Birmingham by false expectations, and he is attempting to take leadership as an insightful outsider

foundation of Henry David Thoreau's and Martin Luther King's morals and beliefs. Thoreau was an American transcendentalist in the 1800's who had very strong views about the United States government at the time. He was against slavery and the Mexican-American War so he refused to not his poll taxes, which consequently landed him in jail for a night. Soon later, he wrote an essay, called "Civil Disobedience," in which he spoke out on his feeling about government. King was an African American and was one

CALGARY, Alberta, April 15, 2019 — Hemostemix Inc. ("Hemostemix" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: HEM; OTCQB: HMTXF) a biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative blood-derived stem cell therapies for medical conditions not adequately addressed by current treatments, is pleased to announce that it intends to complete, subject to regulatory approval, a non-brokered private placement of up to a maximum of $6,000,000 principal amount of secured convertible debentures (the "Offering").
Each debenture will consist of $1,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% secured, non-transferable, convertible, redeemable debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures will mature twenty four (24) months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date") and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The principal amount of the Debentures is convertible into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at the option of the holder, at a price of $0.08 per Common Share in the first year after the date of issuance and at a price of $0.10 in the second year (as applicable, the "Conversion Price"), subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval. The Company may elect to force the conversion of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price ("Mandatory Conversion"), on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' notice, if the daily closing trading price of the common shares on the TSXV is greater than $0.20 for 20 consecutive trading days preceding such notice, subject to the Mandatory Conversion being permitted under the policies of the TSXV. The Debentures will be secured obligations of the Company. The Debentures may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at any time prior to the Maturity Date. Finders' fee may be payable in conjunction with the Offering at the election of the Company.
The Debentures, and any common shares issuable upon conversion will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing.
The proceeds of the Debenture Offering will be used to continue to fund the Company's phase II clinical trial for critical limb ischemia ("CLI"), research and development, costs towards other clinical trials including application for an angina pectoris trial and for general working capital. Certain insiders of the Company intend to subscribe for Debentures pursuant to the Offering.
Hemostemix is a publicly traded clinical-stage biotechnology company that develops and commercializes innovative blood- derived cell therapies for medical conditions not adequately addressed by current treatments.

Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy Review – Let's Return To Comfy Crafting
February 19, 2021 / Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment
The follow-up to the extremely cozy alchemy-driven Atelier Ryza has arrived. How does it measure up to its predecessor? Let's dive into the twenty-second entry in the Atelier franchise.
Review: Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon – A Moon That'll Never Set
November 8, 2017 November 9, 2017 / Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment
+An outstanding soundtrack as well as solid atmospherics that set the mood
+Graphics have been heavily upgraded from the previous entry offering more depth and artistic value
+Extremely enjoyable cast members that each feel unique and well rounded
-Combat system feels dulled down due to the limited party sizes
-Time restrictions while playing the game
-Exploring is slightly limited compared to the previous entry
Before games launch, we're used to seeing a lot of interest being drawn in just before they hit the shelves in order to grow the games publicity, but also to reach a rather large audience. Games like Nioh, DOOM, and even Wolfenstien II: The New Colossus did this rather well. One such game that hasn't, just happens to be Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon, a game that carries on the traditional elements we've seen from developer Gust in previous years.
Review: Dark Rose Valkyrie – Let the Petals Dance
June 12, 2017 / Dustin Murphy / Leave a comment
+Extremely beautiful graphics, character animations, and well written scenario
+Strong soundtrack, score, and combat systems.
+Dual Audio allows for a rather fun and enjoyable time
-Areas of the game are blocked off unless required by the games story
-Combat scaling could have used some work.
Dark Rose Valkyrie is a joint venture with artist and mangaka, Kosuke Fujishima (Ah! My Goddess, Sakura Wars, nearly every Tales Of title), scenario writer, Takumi Miyajima (Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, screenplay for Fate/Zero), and Compile Hearts (Hyperdimension Neptunia, Mugen Souls, Record of Agarest War) set in an alternate version of 1920's Japan, where the world is dealing with a dangerous virus that can turn people into Chimera, thanks to the Black Garnet meteorite that hit the Earth. You assume the role of Asahi Shiramine, the new commander of Special Force Valkyrie and together with your team of anime stereotypes, you fight back against the chimera threat.
You're squad is comprised of such tropes as the naïve rich girl, the hard core Japanese character, the gun nut, the super shy kid, the super tomboy kid, the horn dog, and a down to Earth son of a wealthy family. During your journey, you'll uncover each teammate's quirk/issue, build a stronger team, and fight against the true threat of the game after a twist later in the game, or so I've gathered as I was only able to put in roughly 30 hours.
Sit-Rep: Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book – When Alchemy Decides to Backfire
+An astonishing soundtrack that stays true with the games locales and scenery.
+Character designs are top notch bringing Sophie and Plachta to life
+A newly implemented alchemy system that brings both new and old to life
+Outfit changing brings the game to life from being stale and boring
–Brings forth a lack of story, which is not known in previous entries
–The battle system feels weak and troubled since the days of Escha and Logy
–New Game+ is absent in this newest title
Much like any Atelier game, our newest title starts off pretty plain, pretty simple, and with a bit of a trademark design. In the beginning we are introduced to our playable character – Sophie. With her aspirations to become a great alchemist recognized, it's time for he to take on the works of her grandmother whom has passed. With her family legacy being known as a renowned alchemist of the atelier arts, it's now Sophie's turn to try and take to such greatness. With her grandmothers book in her possession, it's not her time to take over and begin picking up where her legacy begins.
As one would expect, the book is where much of her story will unfold as it is not just any book, but a special one known as Plachta. Working along side Sophie, Plachta will help Sophie unlock the memories hidden within Plachta to find out the memories her grandmother left behind that have since become hidden. While exploring the world in order to unlock a rather tough alchemical formulae and the memories, the two will take on extraordinary tasks as visitors will come and go within her life while they explore new recipes and materials to help create them.
As one would expect, the Atelier titles do live up to expectations on their graphical standard. With their visuals becoming more consistent across each release; their's a sense of tradition to the titles as they have taken on their cel-like anime approach with shading. Those of you familiar with the titles on both PlayStation 3 and even the PlayStation Vita – they've remained on-par as they upgraded into their 1080p standard. For those of you who visited titles like Night of azure, Dragon Ball Xenoverse or even Digimon Cybersleuth, you've come accustomed to what the graphics will be like. The graphics are perhaps one of the most appealing things about the game as players find themselves lulled in by them next to the songs that play throughout the game.
Even with its anime like approach to character designs, anime-like soundtracks, and traditional crafting gameplay, the game has been tweaked a bit to ensure that even the most hardcore of fans won't get bored. With each character in the series, girl that is, remains lighthearted, loving, ditsy, cute, and even a bit damsel-ish, the games remain fun as players get underway through their tales. Unfortunately, that's about it for this game as it does find itself a bit troubled when all-else comes into play.
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book – PlayStation 4 (Reviewed)
Developer: Gust
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
Released: Available Now
While this game does offer up a common moniker that the series is renowned for it doesn't fail to drop the traditional JRPG like mechanics. Combat is straight-forward within the title as players will pick what attack they want to perform, items to use, and what their combat rotation comes out to be. After a good 30-40 hours in, players will find themselves incomplete in ways if they are wanting to finish unlocking their trophies. While New Game+ has been a traditional piece of this franchise, this one falls short of doing so and leaves players with a single playthrough.
As you'd expect – Atelier Sophie is a decent game. Definitely not what was expected especially being the first one for this generation of console. Character design and soundtrack were wonderful as to be expected with the Atelier titles. The new alchemy system felt new yet familiar which was very refreshing. However it doesn't make up for the lack of good story and feeling like you are getting nowhere fast or even a normal pace. Time management, Battle system, Leveling, and lack of a NG+ among other things kept this game from being better then it was and/or expected to be. However still looking forward to what the next Atelier game will hold for us fans. Hopefully the next time around will try a tidbit harder to bring back the love the series got from previous titles.

Final Score: 5 out of 10
Chris Adee is one of B.A.T.G.R.'s newest writers who seems to love three things. Sleep, games, and MOBA's when he's not goofing around on Warframe and SMITE. He also likes games. A lot. Oh and anime. Did we mention anime?

It is quite another power after 40 years - this time in the body begins a very different process than in his youth, in no small part due to the fact a way of life and the power that accompanied our youth.
