URA: Demand-led redevelopment model
The Board of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) today (Tuesday) approved the framework for a "demand-led" redevelopment model, one of the major initiatives of the new Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) promulgated by the Government in February 2011 to encourage redevelopment to take more diverse forms in Hong Kong. This is in addition to the new facilitator role announced by the URA last month. Outlining the details of the demand-led redevelopment model at a media briefing this afternoon, the Chairman of the URA, Mr Barry Cheung, said it is intended to let owners decide if they want the URA to redevelop their properties, consistent with the people-oriented and bottom-up approach spelt out in the new URS. Careful consideration has been given to the arrangements of the new model by the URA Bo
Property acquisition for Ma Tau Wai Road/Chun Tin Street project to start soon

Making the announcement at a media briefing this afternoon, the Chairman of the URA, Mr Barry Cheung, said the Home Purchase Allowance (HPA) rate for the project was endorsed by the Land, Rehousing and Compensation Committee of the Authority after careful deliberations. Until now, it is the highest rate being offered by the URA for domestic owner-occupied properties in its projects in Kowloon upon commencement of property acquisition for the proje
URA: Facilitator Role in redevelopment
The Board of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) today (Monday) approved the framework for URA taking up the role of a facilitator in redevelopment, an initiative set out in the new Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) promulgated by the Government in February this year.

Outlining the details of the framework at a media briefing this afternoon, the Chairman of the URA, Mr Barry Cheung, said in-depth deliberations have been made to the new initiative with regard to the URA taking up a facilitator role, and the Board has come up with arrangements for implementation as a pilot scheme.

Van traffic on UK roads has nearly doubled over the last 20 years, outstripping growth in all other vehicle types, according to latest Department for Transport figures.
The newly published road traffic estimates for 2017 show that van traffic grew 2.7% between 2016 and 2017 to reach a record high of 50.5 billion vehicle miles; the fastest growth in percentage terms of any motor vehicle type. Total van mileage in 2017 was 67% higher than 20 years ago.
The figure also shows that vans have become more important over the last decade, accounting for 15% of all motor vehicle traffic in 2017 compared to 9% in 1987.
The DfT said reasons for the rapid growth were likely to be the growth in internet shopping and home deliveries. In 2017, 77% of adults shopped online at least once during 2017, compared to 53% in 2008.
It added that changes to company car taxation rules and vehicle excise duty in the early-to-mid 2000s may have made vans a cheaper alternative and so caused people to switch to vans from cars.
The DfT also pointed to less strict regulation on driver training, driver's hours restrictions and roadworthiness testing for vans than for lorries, making it easier to find drivers for vans. This may encourage businesses to substitute vans for small lorries, particularly for urban areas.

F-35 fleet grounded for the eighth time over unknown engine issue
4 Jul, 2014 03:58
A F-35 fighter jet (Reuters / David Alexander) © Reuters
As the cost of Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jet continues to grow, so do the headaches: the United States military announced on Thursday that its entire fleet of aircraft has been grounded until engine inspections are completed.
The decision comes as the Pentagon struggles to find the source of yet another problem with the $398.6 billion program. On June 23, an F-35 caught fire as the pilot attempted to take off at a Florida air base. According to Reuters, one unidentified source described the incident by saying, "The engine ripped through the top of the plane."
In the most recent Reuters report, the military said it still had not highlighted the cause of that fire, and that new inspections are being put in place in order to assess the capability of the entire fleet.
"Additional inspections of F-35 engines have been ordered, and return to flight will be determined based on inspection results and analysis of engineering data," the Defense Department said in a statement to the news service on Thursday.
According to the Burlington Free Press, the incident is also under review by the Air Force Safety Investigation Board. That overview could take up to a month to finish.
"The flights have paused while we figure out what went wrong," 1st Lt. Hope Cronin, a spokeswoman at Eglin for the Air Force's 33rd Fighter Wing, told the Free Press.
As noted by Gizmodo, this marks the eighth time the entire F-35 fleet has been grounded. The last time also occurred in mid-June, when an engine oil leak forced the military to inspect 104 of its jets. Three of the F-35s failed the test. It's currently unclear when exactly the F-35 fleet could be back in the skies, but plans to fly a jet for a July 4 naming ceremony of Britain's latest aircraft carrier have already been cancelled.
There are also tentative plans to fly the jets during two air shows in the United Kingdom on July 11 and 14, though no final decision has been rendered.
"We will contribute to the return to flight determination, and will aim to do what is prudent for the enterprise at large without compromising the ongoing mishap investigation," Air Force Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan said to Reuters.
As RT has reported in the past, the problematic F-35 program has run into numerous costly and embarrassing problems over the years. In March, the US Government Accountability Office found that persistent software problems could delay the program for more than a year. The auditors even questioned whether the US could still afford the 2,457 planes that are slated for purchase. They could cost $400 billion – a 68 percent increase over original projections in 2001 – and keeping the program on schedule for 2037 could cost $12.6 billion per year.
Prior to that report, the Navy cut its order of F-35 jets almost in half, while the Air Force delayed its purchase of four jets for another year. At the time, defense officials said they were still confident in the program and that the decision was based on budgetary considerations.

Police: Small plane, pilot's body, recovered from ocean after crash in Cape May
CAPE MAY, N.J. -- State police say a small plane that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off New Jersey has been recovered along with the pilot's body.
EMBED More News Videos
Small aircraft crashes into ocean in Cape May, New Jersey. George Solis has more on Action News at 6 p.m. on May 29, 2019.

Joao Pedro's first words on completing 'dream' Watford move and the advice Richarlison gave him
The 16-year-old, who currently plays for Brazilian side Fluminese, has agreed a move to Vicarage Road for an undisclosed fee.
November fixtures in the Premier League
Joao Pedro has spoken out for the first time his move to Watford was confirmed.
However, due to the striker's age, the transfer will see Pedro complete the switch in 2020 - due to rules restricting the selling of players under the age of 18.
Speaking to Brazilian publication Globo Esporte, Pedro spoke of his delight at completing his move to the Hornets.
He said: "At the moment I'm happy with my head at Fluminense. Until leaving I want to evolve and be a champion here. But my dream has always been to play in the Premier League.
The Wolves verdict on Watford, Gerard Deulofeu and hopes of a top half finish
"It's the result of my work. I'm happy. I've been working hard to get attention and get to the national team."
Pedro has been likened to Fluminese alumni member Richarlison, who paved the route from the Brazilian club to Vicarage Road just over one year ago.
The forward, who has since moved to Premier League rivals Everton, got his big break in the game with Fluminese and Pedro says he can see the similarities.
A fluid attack, Deulofeu delight and a Javi Gracia masterclass - Watford talking points
Pedro said: "We play a bit similar, in the style of strength and speed. I'm happy, he's in the national team. I contacted him on Instagram and asked for some advice. He advised me, told me to keep working because I am going to the best football in the world."

Sicarius (sica = tőr), orgyilkos és útonálló, a római császárkorban általában gyilkos. A törvény halált mért az ilyenre. A vétség elbírálása a néptörvényszéket illette, amely a közvádlók és ügyészek feladatát betöltő külön bizottságra (quaestores parricidii) bízhatta. A lex Cornelia de sicariis et veneficiis (ie. 81.) által Sulla külön állandó bíróságot quaestio perpetua állított föl az orgyilkosság, a méregkeverés és más veszélyes bűncselekmények nyomozására és a római szabad polgárokra a tűztől és víztől, az állami közösségnek e szimbólumától való eltiltás (aqutae et ignis interdictio), rabszolgákra és Rómának valamely idegen állam kötelékébe tartozó szabad lakosára (peregrinus) pedig halált szabott ki. A császárkorban deportálás, illetve közönséges gonosztevőkre keresztrefeszítés, közmunka (opus publicum) vagy vadállatok közé vetés (ad bestias) volt általában a gyilkosság büntetése.

Egyes vallástörténészek (például Vermes Géza) szerint a Jézust eláruló Júdás Galileából származott, és az iskarióti jelző a latin sicarius (= késelő, a zelóta mozgalom ultraradikálisait jelölő, akik a politikai terrorizmus első képviselői voltak) torzított változata.

Larger piece = better high range?
1: why might this have happened?
2: after a few months, the 5 has begun to feel small on my face (why I switched in the first place) should I go a size larger? Might I get even better results?
Sorry for the novel, and thanks!
Generally, no, larger mouthpieces are for lower notes. Sometimes, you just find the right piece for you. Sometimes just practicing, or resting will increase your range, depending of course on what else you've been doing. Buzzing a couple minutes a day can help range. Once you're up that high, more range isn't that much of an issue, but you might want to practice stuff that helps you solidify that range and make use of all the notes.
It would probably be best for you to get a real teacher, and have a lesson every week or so. That will help you drive your playing forward more than anything.
I'm no expert (Doug is!) but some folks' embouchures work better with larger rims, sometimes dramatically so. Larger rim (5, 4, etc) may fit your face better than the smaller stuff did.
The lightswitch moment for me was realizing I needed less effort to hit a high D on a Bach 2G + bass as I did with a 7C on my small bore horn, and that my endurance in that range was no different. I currently play one of Doug's pieces around the Bach 4 rim size on my large and small tenors. It's been nothing but good things for me w/r/t range, flexibility, and endurance. I've tried playing smaller mouthpieces since buying the DE piece and it's surprising how poor they work for me now.
Critically though, having a few (sporadic due to my non-trombone reasons) lessons with Doug identified bad habits I was doing mechanistically that I've been working to address. Spending the effort to fix the way I was using the soft muscles has helped me way more than just the rim change did. I'm not suggesting that's your issue, but it was notable for me personally.
although i can say in my own experience, some slightly deeper mouthpieces allow my to put more air in which in turn gives me MORE AIR to HVE control over/hit notes more accurately. Poorly explained, Doug can put it in better words or otherwise explain away whatever I'm saying here.
Thanks for the imput! I know I should probably get more regular trombone lessons. It just seems that in my area I haven't found any trombone teachers willing or able to address what bad habits I'm sure I have directly. I can't really afford a weekly thing with anyone.
I Wish my computer was working (I'm using my cellphone for this) so I could take some skype lessons with Mr. Elliott! Maybe I'll wait till I get my laptop fixed and pm him about a lesson?
If your foot was a size 10, and you only wore size 4 shoes, your ability to run in those shoes would be limited, even if that was the size shoe that the ultramarathoners tend to wear. If you wore a size 10, you would get more out of your run.
Something like that. Rim sizes don't really do anything except hinder you, unless it's the right size, and then it doesn't hinder you. The rim shape, cup, throat, backbore and weight do have real effects, however.
And take a holiday from the horn at some point this year.... You will come back refreshed and even more concentrated!
Bonus possibility... the slightly different shaped mouthpiece changes the air column enough to let a few more partials resonate that couldn't before.
Several of my Skype students use a phone for it. Works quite well.
Be careful with the margarita's though you might end up picking up your horn when you don't expect it.
Keep in mind that there are options other than rim size to consider, particularly if expanding your high range and endurance are goals.
That might be a fun thing to experiment with for your small trombone, if you're looking for a more focused sound while keeping the rim size that makes you happy.
EDIT(For context): I have a Bach 4 rim G cup small-shank mouthpiece, and the intonation, especially in the upper register, becomes really weird if used on a small bore trombone. It works find with a euphonium, but I've had much better luck with shallower cups, despite generally favoring larger rims.


RAIPUR: After a thorough search by the income tax department's investigation wing, city-based Shri Balaji Super Speciality Hospital (SBSH) has declared and surrendered around Rs 6 crore cash as unaccounted money during the assessment by the income tax sleuths.
To unearth unaccounted income and black money, the I-T department carried out a survey at SBSH and electronic showroom Amit Sales on Thursday. According to the given information, the private hospital was inaugurated in the year 2009 and has its second branch in at Korba district, which is a 150-bed centre out of which 40 beds are meant for the intensive care units ICU, five modular OT along with arrangements for various types of trauma care. Dr Devendra Naik and Neeta Naik are medical director and managing director of SBSH respectively. While its third branch was inaugurated at Tikrapara area recently, SBSH also runs nursing and paramedical courses.
As part of the investigation, the hospital administration was asked to submit pay slips to ascertain if advance salary was released in a bid to dispose the unaccounted income post demonetisation. Out of fear, the hospital administration surrendered their black money to the I-T sleuths late on Saturday. During the search, I-T sleuths extensively searched a Mowa-based hospital and three outlets of Amit Sales at GE Road and Fafadih and another one in Bilaspur. The assessment for Amit Sales is still underway and I-T officials will announce the outcome in a couple of days.
All the confiscated documents, gadgets and hardware to make assessment are being minutely observed by tax sleuths to trace the reality status of converting black money into white.

Buy Side Increasing Use of Level 3 Data
TP ICAP To Extend Trades on Crypto Equit...
FlexTrade Systems has integrated a feed from BMLL Technologies to deliver pricing data and analytics which is being demanded by the largest asset managers at the point of execution.
Andy Mahoney, managing director EMEA at FlexTrade Systems, told Markets Media: "Investors are always looking for an edge and the appetite for alternative datasets is not going to abate anytime soon. Our work is ongoing to make sure that we have the analytics and data that allow our clients to make sure that they are trading at their best."
Excited to announce our integration with @FlexTrade: we deliver pricing data & analytics capabilities to the world's biggest asset managers to help them unlock the predictive power of pricing data and understand how markets behavehttps://t.co/PyRS6YWkgf pic.twitter.com/sCtsLgVDM2
— BMLL Technologies (@bmlltech) June 2, 2021
BMLL Technologies is an independent provider of harmonised T+1 data and analytics. The firm's Data Feed is uniquely pre-computed from granular, Level 3 order book data to provide actionable insights for market quality and execution performance as well as available liquidity at different depths of the book. Level 3 is the only dataset that provides enough information to reliably predict future market states using statistical techniques.
Mahoney added that it is critical for clients to have this data at the point of execution as well as during the lifecycle of the trade.
Andy Mahoney, FlexTrade
"An asset manager may be executing in a certain way with a certain broker but the historical data that BMLL provides might make them correct course or change their strategy intra-day," he said.
Paul Humphrey, chief executive of BMLL, told Markets Media: "One of the things that has fascinated me over the last 18 months is how much historic trade data can influence real-time trading if you have the right depth. Having that data in the workflow and throughout the trade lifecycle is vital."
Three quarters of respondents in recent research from BMLL and WBR Insights said they use Level 3 data in their research program to improve alpha generation and mitigate risk. The study, Buy-side usage of Level 3 data analytics for algorithmic performance, found that nearly 75% of the respondents said the main reason for not using Level 3 data in their research programs was its inaccessibility.
Our latest whitepaper in collaboration w/ #WBRInsights reveals rising investment in buying-in third party data and analytics capabilities: 41% said they will increase budgets for third-party data to support in-house #quant research. Download the paper here https://t.co/zo9bF2K78m pic.twitter.com/VqSVH07e6a
— BMLL Technologies (@bmlltech) February 4, 2021
Humphrey said in the study: "It should come as no surprise that many investment firms are looking to partner with third parties to outsource data and analytics generation."
Two thirds, 64%, of respondents said that at least half of of their investment in new data and analytics capabilities will be from buying these capabilities and 41% said they will significantly increase their budget allocations for third-party data.
BMLL's data and analytics is delivered via an API directly into FlexTRADER workflows so it is easy for clients to ingest the information in their desired format.
Mahoney said: "We are looking forward to seeing clients using the data in combination with our automation tools. It is one thing to just share a piece of data on a screen, it is another to automate flow on the back of it. The really fascinating elements will be where the machine becomes an augmented piece of the trader and takes control in the background to ensure that the execution strategy is optimal based on the data."
Multi-asset class data
Mahoney continued that there was significant client demand and significant use case for the BMLL data and analytics. FlexTrade has clients on the sell side and buy side, and typically focuses on large asset managers and hedge funds with complex workflow requirements and automation requirements.
"In addition to feeding data into their systems at point of execution it is throughout the lifecycle of the trade," he added. "The real value comes with ingesting it directly into their blotter and having it available for visualisation, but also automation capabilities and workflow optimization."
He said FlexTrade clients trade across asset classes and there has been a huge surge of interest over the last 12 to 18 months for fixed income data.
"We are very open with our partners and regularly share demo information on how clients are using their data," added Mahoney. "This allows them to understand the metrics they might want to build in the future and which areas of data we might want to ingest."
Paul Humphrey, BMLL Technologies
Humphrey continued that BMLL currently provides equites data from 45 platforms and aims to cover all the global equities venues. In addition, the firm provides data on futures and ETFs.
"We are looking to build out more asset classes and FlexTrade has a multi-asset class approach," he added. "Level 3 data of this depth is hard to engineer and there is no way to shortcut the time to onboard new asset classes."
Mahoney agreed it was not easy to build out granular fixed income data.
He said: "We have the infrastructure so we very much look forward to rolling this out across asset classes."

Jo competeixo és el quart disc del grup català Manel i s'enquadra en el pop contemporani. Sortí al mercat el 8 d'abril del 2016 i s'edità en CD i doble vinil. Com en els darrers dos treballs discogràfics, el grup publicà el seu primer senzill, «Sabotatge», abans de la data de publicació del disc, en aquest cas, l'11 de març. El disc va ser enregistrat als Estats Units amb el productor Jake Aron durant dues fases diferenciades, primer al novembre de 2015 en una antiga església de Woodstock i la segona en l'estudi de Nova York d'Aron. Segons la revista Time Out, «Sabotatge» incorpora ressons de les "músiques del món, incorpora percussions caribenyes i unes guitarres que 'miren als Andes i Àfrica'; també afirma que el baix recorda a la cançó «Lambada» de Kaoma i desvela la referència explícita a la cançó «You can call me Al» del disc Graceland de Paul Simon, ara que aquest celebra el seu 30è aniversari des de la publicació. Finalment, el cantat del grup, Guillem Gisbert culmina la cançó amb uns aguts no habituals en els seus darrers treballs.

La presentació de l'àlbum es realitzarà el 4 de juny al Primavera Sound 2016 i a partir d'aquí iniciaran una gira per diferents sales de concerts i festivals com el Nos Primavera Sound de Port, el festival Vida de Vilanova i la Geltrú o el Canet Rock.

A few weeks ago we mentioned the launch of Google's new SearchWiki feature, which at the time many speculated would have an impact on how Google ranked pages, beyond just the view of a site in your own browser.
The feature has met with a great deal of skepticism, including some scathing criticisms. We're still vacillating on the love-hate relationship of the new feature (like most, we think an "opt-out" feature might be a nice thing to give their millions of users), but the most interesting development today is news that user reviews on websites may be used to affect search rankings.
TechCrunch broke the news, and Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim was quick to post the implications of this on the black hat community.
We're going to give Google the benefit of the doubt in this, and assume that they will put adequate resources in the prevention and detection of abuse of the new system. Still, the reality is that the system, like pretty much any new search technology, we be adopted first by those who have an interest in manipulating the results to their own benefit, not your average ordinary internet user.
Will Google be pulling this feature in three months in frustration? Will the SERPs go through ups and downs like we've never seen before? We've Black Hats really get a "wedge" to take down loathed competitors?
Google's got too much at stake in the integrity of their results to fall on their face, though the ride ahead will still be interesting. Now more than ever it's time to embrace the people part of the web!

Nvidia's robot simulator adds human co-workers
Simulators have been a godsend when it comes to testing robots. Real-world testing is lengthy, expensive and potentially dangerous, so anything you can do to work out as many kinks as possible ahead of time is a big win. Isaac Sim has thus far proven a success for Nvidia, as the chipmaker has looked to aggressively enter the world of robotics and automation, while roboticists search for a way to run simulations of real-life working conditions.
Today at CES, the company announced some key improvements to the system. Accessible via the cloud for robotics developers everywhere, the system is adding a very important piece of the puzzle: humans. Well, virtual humans. After all, for all the talk about robots replacing human jobs, the two are going to be working side by side for the foreseeable future.
"To minimize the difference between results observed in a simulated world versus those seen in the real world," Nvidia notes, "it's imperative to have physically accurate sensor models."
Image Credits: NVIDIA
People shouldn't be considered obstacles, exactly, but it's important to hew to as close to that first Asimov law as possible. Humans in the sim are tasked with the same sort of roles you'd find human workers filling — stuff like pushing carts and stacking packages. Robots need to do their job without colliding with their much-softer co-workers.
The system is also adding the ability to render real-time sensor data, built atop Nvidia's RTX tech. That includes lidar simulation with ray tracing to better simulate different lighting conditions and the impact of reflective materials. Different existing robots and warehouse parts can also be added in, to properly re-create the setting for fulfillment systems.
Isaac Sim supports ROS 2 Humble and Windows, as well as existing Isaac ROS software. The new platform features are available to use starting today.

Today, i dont think the beast should be one of the top 10 wooden coasters. in the 80's, the beast was a MUST RIDE coaster. today it just beats you up and is nothing compared to the newer rides. still, it is a decent coaster that is worth one ride. emphasize one.
One of the best rollercoasters EVER BUILT, this ride stands today as the longest wooden coaster, and second longest coaster in the world.
It may beat you up, but it deserves another rider- You.
Although this rides kind of beats you up a bit, this is still a MUST RIDE at Kings Island. One of the best wooden roller coasters I have been on, that's for sure! The tunnels on the tracks and the trees surrounding the ride add major fun. The only problem with this ride is that I think it could be a bit faster. So that takes some points away. But any young person, or even middle aged people looking for a pretty fun starter coaster, this ride is for you.
Seeing videos of this on YouTube, I actually had pretty low expectations for this ride. It's layout looked really boring and it didn't seem to fast.
But I was more than pleasantly surprised, as this ride ROCKS! Right from the start, The Beast delivered. The lift hill had sounds of some forest creature roaring and it was cool how it seemed to stall at the top. The first drop, although not very steep, was great since there was a tunnel at the base. The airtime hill was pretty weak because of trims, but the as soon as I got off the brake run, I learned why this ride had such an awesome reputation. Twisting and turning through the forest was intense. It actually felt like the ride was getting faster and faster with each second. After the second lift, the train turned and gradually sped into what has become my favorite coaster element of all time. The Beast's helix finale was intense throughout and the lateral g's were amazing. This is a ride that everyone should ride at least once before they die.
Overall, I found this to be a very intense roller coaster. Contrary to what I've heard, I found The Beast to be pretty smooth for a woodie. I also must have rode it on a good day. Other than on the airtime hill, all the trims were either off or barely on. Unfortunately I only got to ride it once.
EDIT (6/14/09): Forget what I said about how smooth the Beast is. It's actually a pretty rought ride. After my return visit to King's Island, I was kind of disappointed by the Beast. It's not the roughness that got to me; it was how tame the ride is. At a couple different spots in the ride, I suddenly jerked foreward as the trim breaks destroyed the joy of this ride. The trim breaks are what made me mad, but if you're not young and able to take a hit, you may want to think twice before riding. The Beast isn't friendly.
I really enjoyed the beast. The best part was the end. You better be able to take a beating from the beast. The Beast is celebrating it's 30th anniversy in 2009!
This one is an instant classic. I personally prefer the Son, although I realize I am in the minority in that opinion. However, I give this a 9 for many reasons. Yes, it is quite rough. However, I am young and I can take the hits, so that does not subtract points.
The setting is great. It&#39.s really fun weaving through tunnels and trees. However, the only problem with this is that your view may be blocked by the headrests of those in front of you. To avoid this, try to get a seat in the front of the cars. Also, a front seat makes the ride a bit smoother, so I reccomend getting as close to the front as you can on this one.
The ending is spectacular. It is thrilling, well laid-out, and just overall memorable. Though the ride is long, it is by no means monotonous. you will be exhilerated every second of the ride, including the chain hills, which went at inconsistent speeds when I was on it. (I&#39.m not sure if this was intentional, but I enjoyed it, as it made the ride seem even less predictible) Anyhow, if you are afraid the Son of Beast will be too rough for you, this one is a perfect alternative. Even if you are an older rider, it is easy enough to put up with the rattling, so you can have the time of your life in the King of King&#39.s Island.
Were it not for the undue amounts of roughness that I experienced on this coaster, it would be amazing. Even so, it is a very good wooden coaster that is deserving of its reputation as a legendary ride. The setting for the ride is great, as you are essentially running (err, rolling) through the Ohio woods the entire ride. The course is unique in that, aside from the lifts, you are really never that far off the ground...almost the quintessential terrain coaster in that regard. The double helix after the 2nd lift is insane...crazy speed and laterals, as the Beast attempts to shred you one last time. Ah, but there is that roughness again. I wanted to put my hands up, but, desiring to prevent personal injury, I resisted this. All in all, The Beast is a coaster that I would agree every enthusiast should ride at least once, but one that does not find itself in my Top 10 by any stretch.
Well due to the roughness i felt on this ride, and the fact it lacks airtime nearly completely, the positves of this ride is how long it is, the fact it runs away from everything in the woods, maintains it speed other then the many trims on board the ride. In day this ride gets a 5 at night it gets a 9 so i gave it a 7. Must ride at night for a totaly differnt expreance!

Probability of kill
Computer games, simulations, models, and operations research programs often require a mechanism to determine statistically whether the engagement between a weapon and a target resulted in a kill, or the probability of kill. Statistical decisions are required when all of the variables that must be considered are not incorporated into the model, similar to the actuarial methods used by insurance companies to deal with large numbers of customers and huge numbers of variables. Likewise, military planners rely on such calculations to determine the amount of weapons necessary to destroy an enemy force.
The Probability of Kill (or Pk) is usually based on a uniform random number generator. This algorithm creates a number between 0 and 1 that is approximately uniformly distributed in that space. If the Pk of a weapon/target engagement is 30% (or 0.30), then every random number generated that is less than 0.3 is considered a kill. Every number greater than 0.3 is considered a "not kill". When used many times in a simulation, the average result will be that 30% of the weapon/target engagements will be a kill and 70% will not be a kill.
This measure may also be used to express the accuracy of a weapon system. For example, if a weapon is expected to hit a target nine times out of ten with a representative set of ten engagements, one could say that this weapon has a "Phit" of 0.9. If the percentage of hits is nine out of ten, but the probability of a kill with a hit is .5, then the Pk becomes .45 or 45%. This reflects the fact that even modern warheads may not always destroy a target such as an aircraft, missile or main battle tank.
Additional factors include probability of a hit (Phit), probability of detection (Pd), reliability of the targeting system (Rsys), and reliability of the weapon (Rw), to name a few. For example, if a missile operates properly e.g. 90% of the time (assuming a good shot), the targeting system operates properly 85% of the time, and enemy targets are detected at 50%, we can increase the accuracy of our Pk estimation:
Pk = Phit * Pd * Rsys * Rw
Pk = 0.9 * 0.5 * 0.85 * 0.90 = 0.344
Users can also specify a probability according to a class of targets, for example, it has been stated that the SA-10 surface-to-air missile system has a Pk of 0.9 against highly maneuvering targets, whereas its Pk against non-maneuvering targets is much higher.

Kid reviews for Jurassic World
Common Sense says
Reboot is fun but scarier, more violent than the original.

This is better than Jurassic park
This is a great movie if you're into violence. I give it an A-. I think the violence is great though. It's a very intense movie. Some blood, but not really any gore. A couple times in the movie you'll jump. This is the best movie I've ever seen for sound effects. I really recommend it if you liked the first Jurassic park movie!!

I think it is a really good movie, for the most part Only think is that it could be scary and could definitely give kids nightmares
Teen, 13 years old Written byScaredyCat July 2, 2015
Great for Teens
The violence is slightly more graphic than the previous films. While the victim's bodies are off camera as they are being killed, there is sound effects which tell the viewers that flesh is being ripped or bones have been crushed. There is blood splattered on glass in one scene. There is cussing (mostly "b-tch"), however it is not excessive. The jump scares are not too gruesome, but will probably make very young children end up in tears. Children that are very sensitive to loud noises will probably not enjoy this.

lots of fun people eating with a nice and solid plot
this movie is extremely enjoyable and has limited violence. most of the people are eaten in one bite and the camera cuts away right after they are grabbed. there are loud crunches and spattering blood though so those who are disgusted by gore ought to be warned. a fat bald guy who works with the army wants to turn the raptors into weapons and talks about them being purposely unleashed on people. adult guests at the park are shown being picked up by flying mutant dinosaurs and the boys babysitter is eaten. a man has his head get crunched by raptor but the one black man in the movie survives.

Intense and exciting
This movie was really exciting! Much more intense than the other ones and much more exciting in my opinion. It's also pretty gruesome though, and dinosaurs eat a lot of people. Young kids might be frightened.
Kid, 10 years old June 30, 2015
I went to see this movie with my 10 y/o friend and a 7 y/o sister,This is a great movie but very gory, I do not recommend seeing this with younger kids who tend to get scared over blood, monsters etc. But if you do not like a lot of swearing this movies has a couple of swear words. Multiple people get eaten of get very close to death. But you do not see the people get eaten.

Spielberg magic is back, but amazing visual effects is the only way to distract viewers from a poor storyline.
Chris Pratt displays a great performance and reminds us of Sam Neill in the original 90's trilogy. With stunning visual effects, great acting and great directing the film is an exciting flick. However, the more cunning members of the audience will notice a string of continuity errors and sloppy story writing. Mercedes Benz product placement taints the movie, as every car, van , 4x4, golf buggy, lorry, armoured truck and plush SUV is one. Which brings us onto another issue. When the two boys discover an old Jeep in a shed, the younger of the siblings suddenly yells "OMG! LOOK AT THIS 1993 JEEP WRANGLER SHORT WHEELBASE 4.0L SOFT TOP SAFARI EDITION!" Exactly how does one know the engine size by having one glance at the car? 1. This 8 year old is a Jeep enthusiast and knows the engine size because this car may have only had one size option. 2. Over excited script writing. 3. Product Placement. Which of these sounds most likely to you? Also I think that the crew would have put a Mercedes Benz hiding behind a tree in every shot if they were paid to do so. I would recommend this film as it's great entertainment and certainly will be one of the biggest movies of 2015.
Amazing, but very gory
This film is purely awesome for kids 12 and up. For 10 to 11 it's iffy. Though it has a high body count, the problems are resolved by end of the movie and all the characters learn a good lesson (or die). Overall this wasn't better than the original as some people said it was. Through the blood and language there is a good message that abounds this movie. To help others, even if what you do might go against you. -True Venom

A colorful, eye popping and fun reboot, that is filled with terrifying violence.
Jurassic World is a very fun movie, that surely surpasses the ugly sequels we got from Spielberg. Isla Nublar is the Disneyland for kids in the future. And scientists gene splice a brand new dinosaur called, The Indominus Rex. Well, he escapes and they need Chris Pratt to go hunt him down, before he kills the visitors at the park. And he does cause havoc, eats people and animals, with blood spray on the camera, a woman in thrown around in the air before she is eaten by a dinosaur, there is a scene where a dinosaur kills a man and blood sprays on a window. That is just some of the violence in the film. If your 7 year old can't handle it, please don't take them. It is very mature, and dark, not your average Jurassic Park movie. Although it is a fun movie that is worth the IMAX 3D extra.

Bloody but Amazing
I was really surprised that I actually loved this movie. However, I didn't really expect it to be so bloody. It's definitely a bit more violent than the other movies in the series. There are some great messages and great role models. It does have high language such as b**** and s***, but they aren't used so often throughout the movie. The one thing that I was a little annoyed while watching was how much consumerism that was in the movie. I recommend this to people age 13 and up because of violence, but if you have younger kids who aren't put off by violence and blood than it is still a great movie to watch with them. I watched this with my dad and my little sister who is 8, and she loved the movie.
This film was amazing. I loved the action, the characters, humor, and of course, the dinosaurs. The new hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, is super cool, and the raptors are too. The film is much better in 3D, but 2D is also amazing. If you haven't seen the film already, make plans to see it. It's better than the other two sequels and about as good as the original Jurassic Park. Also, taking little kids isn't a bad idea, My 2 year old cousin saw it in theaters, IN 3D, and she loved it.

An intense sequel...
This movie is much more intense than those that came before it. It's a bit like Jaws, but has a lot less adult themes.
Teen, 17 years old Written byNo Name, for real. June 27, 2015
Fun, surprisingly effective monster movie is bloody and intense.
Jurassic World is the fourth entry in the Jurassic Park series. A series that started out so innovative and bold, but slowly lost its charm over the years and sequels. However Jurassic World returns to the series original roots. Some may argue this is just a monster movie and nothing else, and while there not entirely wrong, there not entirely right either. Jurassic World is a great movie, and I loved it. Its got great characters, some incredibly scary and intense scenes as well as a fair share a tugs on the heart strings. Its message boils down to leaving nature alone, and that man will never control it no matter what. Natural laws have no pitty, and its exemplified in every frame of the film with surprisingly gruesome kills and very very frightening scenes. But as intense as it can be at times, it can also have little moments of emotional heft. Its the tiny things in this film that pull at your heart strings and do it very effectively. While it is a good film, don't mistake it for something that could be considered appropriate for kids. It has a ton of scenes of bloody dinosaur attacks and intense scares. Dinosaurs not only kill people, but also fight and seriously hurt each other. The most gruesome scenes of the film come with the Dinosaur the Indominous Rex, its shown in several scenes, biting people in half by the torso, using its hands to throw and tear apart its prey. Blood is shown in several scenes splattering against the leaves of trees or glass windows, the most disturbing part of this is the realistic screams of the characters being eaten. Characters are stepped on, clawed, bloodied, bit in half, and more. Its far more violent and scary than Jurassic Park was, but its also an engaging and intriguing theme of leaving nature be. I seriously recommend it if yours a fan of the Jurassic Park movies, or monster movies in general you'll have a blast with it.

Jurassic World :)
Jurassic World is a thrilling film with lots of action. However, most of this action does appear as violence, which, for some kids, is too much to handle. The movie does also have some bad language used in it (sh*t and damn) which might not be right for all ages. I think anything above the age of 13 ( or mature 12 year olds ) is the right age to see this movie. It's a great movie, after all!! :)
Can't beat the original, but still great!
I have really been excited for this movie since the first trailer's release. I heard from my friends that there are many jumpscare scenes. And they were right! There were most where I got traumized at and others that I saw in trailers but got jumpscared in the movie. I would have recommended 7 and above to see this, but this movie can scare many kids and this one is a bit bloody. If kids below 8 wants to see this, show them the Lego cutscene instead. A bit violent, but is just cartoonish violence. And is funnier.

Thrilling, but not as scary as "Jurassic Park"
"Jurassic World" is a good movie. It has excellent action sequences, the acting is great, and the visual effects are top notch. However, it is not quite as scary or as edgy as I had hoped it would be, and there were a few plot holes. Yet, it met my hopes on just about every other matter, earning it four stars. This is a pretty violent movie, and some scenes could scare kids. There is some bad language in the movie, but there is not much in terms of sex and drugs or alcohol. This should be okay for teens and most tweens.

I'm not a huge dinosaur fan but this is the best movie I've seen in a long, long, long time! And although it's so amazing, the violence is a lot worse than the first Jurassic parks. The indominous could smell anything living so it could always find where people were hiding and main characters(including kids) were constantly in life or death situations. As for the violence, lots of people died and were attacked by the flying dinosaurs. For the most part though, people were gobbled up in one bite or the death happened off screen although there are times when peoples' arms were bitten off etc. on screen. The story line had a great twist at the end and every kid would love. There wasn't much swearing: a couple uses of b**ch and sometimes said by kids. Other than that, there isn't much to worry about.mThere was a part where the kids find the cars and supplies from the ancient Jurassic Park and included Tim's night goggles which I loved. Great movie. Great plot. It was amazing. If you have younger kids, I would advise you to watch it first. Btw Chris Pratt was AMAZING!! (As always)

Irritating characters and a so so pace pull down an entertaining enough movie.
Now this film doesn't quite live up to the standards of the original masterpiece, but as the sequels go its miles better than 3, and a little better than lost world. The action, suspense and comedy are all here to make an entertaining summer blockbuster. But there's problems. The characters aren't underdeveloped, but they're designed in a way to make you want them to be eaten. We have trained raptors, which goes against everything they were talking about in the first movie, and some guy wants them in the military (any other Alien fan boys hearing something familiar?). I also get bored of hearing the same, high tech genetics story which, in my view, is overused. Until the half way mark I was easily looking towards the ** section. It improved by the end, but I don't like dinosaurs attacking masses, just individual people. This is no where as good as the original, but its a solid effort. There's fun and scary moments, but not enough character building, uneven pacing and over use of CGI. A passable film, but no masterpiece.
