We live in a world spiraling in a confounding kaleidoscopic of shoddy opinions, self-serving biases, vacillating cultural mandates, clarion calls for whatever politically-correct notion might be trending at the moment, and the elusive lure of all things vogue and trendy. We're frantically chasing some perpetually shifting norm that's nothing of a norm but everything of a culture hell-bent on justifying everything it wishes to justify.
Values are no longer the premise by which we shape our lives. Rather, they have become the pitifully abhorrent and wholly illegitimate obstacle to our desires. We have labeled them as some dusty set of antiquated ideals. These ideals served a generation that lived out its days in the backwaters of an ignorance fed comatose by intellectual stupor. Therefore, their value rests only in their removal so that hitherto unexplored horizons can be freely ascended. The problem is that we have yet to discern a horizon from a cliff.
Convictions born of opinions, biases, cultural mandates, politically-correct notions, and all things vogue and trendy are not convictions. Their focus is uniformity to a larger social agenda. As such, they do not have an adherence to something bigger than themselves that keeps them from destroying themselves. Rather, their agendas are themselves. And an agenda based on self will destroy the very 'self' that we are seeking to liberate. Such is the insanity of them. And such is the evidence that they are not convictions.
Convictions give no voice, much less any space to these lesser things, for these things are contaminated by the selfish agendas that constructed them. Convictions are grounded in principles irrefutably larger and infinitely bigger than the grubby pabulum of selfish mandates and self-serving trends. Convictions rest in things that superseded our waffling culture, and they are sustained by things that will exist long after that culture finds its demise at the hands of these lesser things.
Convictions are those things that we will stand on even when the culture exerts phenomenal effort to have us stand-down. We would rather die by them than die by the culture that defies them. They are the timeless values that did not somehow exhaust their time in some other time, but are in fact not bound by time at all. They are those ethics, morals and values deemed born of ignorance by a self-aggrandizing culture. Yet, it is the ignorance of a culture slogging around in the myopic throes of selfishness that makes such values appear ignorant. In fact, in our culture the litmus test as to the value of our values may be found in the degree to which they are rejected by the culture.
Convictions are not convenient. Neither are they popular. They call us out when such an action is branded as punitive and unacceptably constrictive to the permissive liberties that we have ascribed as our due. They call us apart from everything that they are not, which means we may find ourselves quite alone at times. They are the principles that God has woven into this existence in order to preserve that very existence. At times they are by nature contrary to everything that we want, but they are perfectly crafted to perpetuate everything that we are. In fact, convictions are our liberties for they safeguard us against all the lesser things that would seek to destroy us, including ourselves.
Could it be that we are the generation that is living out its days in the backwaters of an ignorance fed comatose by intellectual stupor? Are we what we have said others to be in order to give ourselves permission to be what we should not be? Are the disjointed efforts of opinions, biases, cultural mandates, politically-correct notions, and all things vogue and trendy an effort to write ourselves sweeping permission to justify sweeping behaviors that will in time sweep us away?
And if this is so, are we ready to abandon selfish agendas for timeless principles so that we might save ourselves from ourselves? Are we ready to stand on convictions and refuse to wallow in trends? Are we brave enough to acknowledge what we have done or will we bend to the cowardice that denies the fact that anything has been done? Are we in fact ready? I have the conviction that time itself will most certainly tell.


Hey, guys today we are going to talk about something we would not normally discuss on this blog. For those of you that do not know, we are based out of the United States and our country is facing a very trying time right now. We will not make a habit of discussing things like this on out blog, but we felt that we needed to speak up.
To our fellow Americans, no matter who you voted for in this election it is important to remember that every person currently living in this country is a person. We have made it a habit of dehumanizing the groups of people that we do not like. We are not here to tell you what to think or what to believe, but I would like for you to consider something for a moment. Imagine waking up in the morning, getting ready to head to work and finding that your property has been damaged. The reason being your skin color, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. All of these things are things that can not be controlled. This is what thousands of Americans are dealing with right now. Some of these things have happened personally to us others we have read about.
I ask that those of you who are not affected by this, please be sympathetic. People are not making this up. They are not looking for attention. No one deserves to feel like they are less than worthy because of anything. Treat the people who are going through these things with love and compassion, because they really need it right now.
To those of you who are victims of these horrible acts. You are not alone. I know it may feel like you are in a nightmare that you can not wake up from.

We need time to pull ourselves together as a country and repair the damage that as been caused. We ask that you please give us the time and space needed to make that happen.
We really appreciate you taking the time to read this and taking in our perspective on this. Please remember that love trumps all the hate in the world.

Coronavirus: The First Member Of Royalty Dies
Video: Coronavirus: The First Member Of Royalty Dies
Video: Queen Elizabeth 'Absolutely Devastated' After Prince Philip's Death, Contributor Says | TODAY 2023, January
María Teresa Borbón-Parma, Spanish sister-in-law of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, was known as the Red Princess and died this week in Paris, thus becoming the first member of royalty to die of Covid-19. Cousin of King Felipe, on Friday a mass was celebrated in her honor in the city of Madrid.
King Felipe Reina Letizia
Graduated in Political Science from the Sorbonne in Paris, the nickname of red princess was given because of her liberal opinions. She was a staunch defender of women's rights and with ideas of a socialist tendency.
In the networks of his brother, Prince Sixto Enrique de Borbón and Duque de Aranjuez, a statement was issued last Thursday night that assured that "on the afternoon of this Thursday, March 26, 2020, he died in Paris, at eighty-six years old, his sister María Teresa de Borbón Parma and Borbón Busset, victim of the coronavirus COVID-19. Don Sixto Enrique is very sorry and begs for prayers for his sister's eternal rest. Tomorrow, Friday in Madrid, the Rev. Rvdo. and Hon. Mr. José Ramón García Gallardo, officer of the Lawful Order of Outlaw Legitimacy".
Sixto de Borbón María Teresa
Princess María Teresa was the second daughter of the claimant to the Spanish throne Francisco Javier de Borbón -Parma y Braganza. This branch of the Bourbons descends from King Carlos III, hence they are recognized as Carlists.
One of his brothers, Carlos Hugo, a Carlist claimant to the throne until his death, was married to Princess Irene of the Netherlands, sister of Queen Beatrice.
For her part, the deceased was the aunt of the Carlist cousins of King William of the Netherlands: Carlos Javier, Duke of Parma, and Margarita María, Jaime Bernardo and María Carolina de Borbón-Parma and Orange-Nassau.
This week other royals announced they were infected with this virulent coronavirus outbreak: Prince Charles of England tested positive at 71, as did Prince Albert of Monaco, 62.

One thing to note is that Wicca is a religion with a lot of theology (study of the nature of deity) and no dogma (rules imposed by religious leaders). Many people become Wiccans because they're independent souls who don't want to be told what to think or believe. Wicca offers fertile ground and a lot of space for spiritual creativity and independence. Although the Wiccan community is very diverse and is becoming more so all the time, there are a few common principles that most Wiccans share.
But first here is a list of things that Wiccans do not do or believe:
SATANIC OR ANTI-CHRISTIAN. Wicca is not the same thing as Satanic witchcraft. Wiccans do not believe in Satan. Satan is part of the Christian religion, and Satanism is a Christian heresy. Wiccans do not perform animal or human sacrifice or pervert the Catholic mass. Wiccans do not hate Christians, or try to harm them or their faith. They do, however, wish Christians would stop knocking on their doors and leaving leaflets on their front steps in an effort to convert them.
PROSELYTIZING. Wiccans do not try to convert others to Wicca. Wiccans do not troll the high schools for vulnerable teens to brainwash into secret cults. Wiccans do not go door-to-door trying to convice others that their religion is the right religion. Wiccans know that people in cultures from all over the world, throughout history--including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Ba'hai, Buddhists, Pagans, and others--have been killed for their religious beliefs or forced to adopt someone else's faith, and many Wiccans see proselytizing as a continuation of this bullying and coercion. Wiccans know that there is more than one path to God, and that everyone must find his or her own spirituality (or not, if they choose). Wiccans believe that if people are meant to walk the Wiccan path, they will find it without someone proselytizing to them. Wiccans also knkow that those who do find the path on their own value it more than they would if they had been "convinced" to become Wiccan.
DUALISTIC. Wicca incorporates a lot of dual and polarity symbolism. However, although some religions see dualities as antagonistic, like God and Satan for example, Wiccans see them as opposite partners, or two parts of a whole. That whole "black and white," "absolute right and absolute wrong" mindset has no place in Wicca. Wiccans see many shades of gray. This does not mean that Wiccans have no ethics!
EXCLUSIVE. There is nothing in Wicca that says you can't practice more than one religion or worship more than one god or set of gods.
A WAY TO GET POWER OVER OTHERS. Wicca is a way to build your own power.
ONLY ABOUT MAGICK. If you are exploring Wicca only so you can learn magick, don't waste your time. Wicca is a religion, and you don't need it to do magick. Magick exists outside of religion. Wicca provides one of many paths to magickal practice, but magick is not its central theme. Some Wiccans don't do magick at all.
AN EDGY TREND WITH GREAT CLOTHES. Many Wiccans like fun, unusual body decoration, but getting into Wicca to make a fashion statement, because it's trendy, or because it's bound to freak out your parents, neighbors, or boss trivializes the religion. Also it should be noted that Goth and Wicca are not the same thing. Wicca is Goth-friendly because it explores and even embraces death and the darker aspects of spirituality, and there are a lot of Goth Wiccans, but you can be Wiccan no matter what you wear or don't wear.
AN EXCUSE FOR SEXUAL ABUSE. Wicca is not about using sex to manipulate others or about sexually abusing children. Wiccans find these things as abhorrent as anyone else does. Child abuse is not acceptable, and it is not condoned in the Wiccan path. It's true that Wiccans tend to be pretty open about sex, but because they're frank about sexuality, and even celebrate it, most covens will not accept a student under the age of 21. It's not appropriate to include a child or teenager in rituals that may contain sexual symbolism.
Wiccan Principle 1: Deity Becomes a Polarity
Many Wiccans believe that there is a single great divine force, which they call "spirit," "the all," "the divine" or just "deity." It gives life to the universe, and it transcends gender, space, and time. They also believe, as do practitioners of many of the world's religions, that deity in its entirety is too large and abstract for humans to comprehend fully. Joseph Campbell sums up this idea: "God is a thought. God is a name. God is an idea. But its reference is to something that transcends all things. The ultimate mystery of being is beyond all categories of thought."
Wiccans believe that deity separates (or we separate it) into facets--or aspects--that humans can relate to. The first "division" of deity is into its male and female halves. So by splitting into aspects, deity moves into the field of time, which is where humans exist.
The two main aspects of deity that Wiccans work with--the male and the female--are simply called the God and the Goddess. The Wiccan God and Goddess represent yang and yin, positive and negative, light and dark. Since they are two halves of the same whole, they are separate but never truly apart; they are connected by their polarity. Neither exists without the other. The polarity--the relationship--between the God and the Goddess is a central, sacred dynamic of Wicca.
Principle 2: Deity is Immanent
Wiccans believe that deity, the life force described in Principle 1, is immanent, or inherent in all people and things. It is in the greatest cathedral and the smallest grain of sand. This is not quite the same thing as the animist idea that a cathedral or a grain of sand have consciousness of their own, but rather that there is a sacred force that infuses everything, and that force is deity or a part of deity. Deity is in each of us as well, regardless of our religion. Because deity is immanent in us, each of us is a part of the divine.
Principle 3: The Earth is Divine
Wiccans believe that the earth is a manifestation of deity. It is a tangible piece of the divine, particularly of the Goddess, who gives birth to all things and receives them again in death. Therefore, everywhere on earth is sacred space. Although you may argue that some places are more sacred than others, Wiccans believe that there's a bit of the divine in every corner of the earth, so they focus on attuning and working with earth energies. This means understanding the cycle of the seasons, participating in these cycles through ritual and contact with the earth, and living within the flow of the earth's natural power rather than working against it.
The ultimate religious experience for many people is to transcend the mundane, the earth, and go to some higher place. It can be a "location," like the Christian heaven, or an inner place, like when one finds enlightenment or Nirvana. Although many Wiccans believe that there is a special place that they go to after they die, and many of them believe in an "otherworld" or "underworld," the majority of their practice is centered in the here and now, on planet earth. For example, Wiccan rituals often mimic the seasonal changes, and Wiccans include trees, rocks, and herbs in ritual and magick.
Many Wiccans believe that a significant part of their spiritual path is taking care of the earth, whether it is by everyday actions such as recycling, larger efforts such as work for environmental causes, or any number of things in between. This is not a requirement of Wicca, but many Wiccans do it anyway because it flows naturally from the belief that the earth is divine.
Principle 4: Psychic Power
Wiccans believe that psychic abilities exist, that they work, and that each of us is born with our own psychic gifts. If each of us is infused with the same divine force, and the earth and everything around us are too, we ought to be able to tap into that force to get information and do things beyond the realms of the five senses. We know that many things we encounter in nature occur in patterns, like the shapes of spiral nautilus shells and the patterns of leaves and branches on many trees, the geometry of which are related to the Golden Proportion. (The Greeks, among others, made great use of sacred geometry and the Golden Proportion in building their temples.) Wiccans believe that in addition to these well-documented natural phenomena, there are other, less scientifically verifiable patterns in nature and in the spiritual realms, and they work at understanding and using those patterns. Psychic ability is simply a sensitivity to and awareness of those patterns.
Psychic abilities help Wiccans with many things, like honing their intuition, divination (reading astrological charts or tarot cards, for example), and sensing things that science can't explain yet, like the spirits of the dead or the presence of the gods. Like many other talents, psychic abilities can be sharpened, and Wicca can help us harness these gifts. One of the most obvious but important ways in which Wicca does this is simply by teaching us that psychic abilities are real. After all, it's hard to use something that you don't believe exists. Wiccans also strengthen their psychic abilities through practice. They do meditation, magick, divination, and ritual, all of which require them to flex their psychic muscles.
Principle 5: Magick
Wiccans believe that magick is real, that it works, and that they can use it to better their lives and help them on their spiritual journeys. According to Aleister Crowley, magic is "the science and art of casuing change to occur in conformance with will."
Magick, like psychic ability, depends on knowledge of the patterns of the cosmos. But where using psychic ability means attuning to and understanding those patterns, magick means bending or working with them to bring about desired change. The philosophy of magick goes back again to the idea that everything is infused with the divine. If all things contain some divine energy, we can tap into that energy to affect things that seem--to the regular five senses, anyway--to have no connection to us. This idea is summed up neatly in the introduction to Magick in Theory and Practice, which opens with the following quote from The Goetia of the Lemegeton of King Solomon, a magical grimoire, or spellbook:
"Magic is the highest, most absolute, and most divine knowledge of natural philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a right understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things, so that true agents being applied to proper patients, strange and admirable effects will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent searchers into nature; they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate an effect, which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle."
As with psychic ability, one of the ways in which Wicca helps people develop magickal abilities is simply by allowing them to believe that magick is possible. Another way is by teaching us that each of us must find our own path and moral compass--our magickal will. Magick is a tool for empowerment and personal growth. True, Wiccans use magick all the time for mundane things, like healing. But its ultimate purpose transcends the mundane.
Principle 6: Reincarnation
Although most Wiccans will tell you that they believe in reincarnation--the soul returning to the earth again in a new body or form after death--their views vary widely on what that means. Some simply believe that our souls are reborn into new bodies, and others think that our essence "recycles" after our bodies die and becomes cosmic energy. Some even believe that we all share one soul, and that this soul experiences the many possibilities of life by inhabiting all of our bodies at the same time.
This focus on reincarnation stems in part from what I called Wiccan Principle 3; that the earth is divine. As we've already seen, Wiccan practice is earth-focused; here-and-now-focused. It's natural, then, that Wiccans would believe that death is not the end of their existence, and that they're going to be back again in some form, some day.
Principle 7: Sex is Sacred
In Wicca, sex, the physical joining of two people, is a sacred act, one that brings joy and wonder, not shame and guilt. Sex is treasured and revered. Sexuality is considered a gift from the gods, a pleasure and responsibility that comes with a physical body, and a manifestation of the polarity of the God and Goddess and the fertility of the earth.
There is a lot of sexual symbolism in Wicca. The sabbats--the Wiccan holidays--include stories of the union of the God and Goddess. The chalice and athame (ritual knife) on the Wiccan altar represent female and male reproductive organs, among other things. And the focus in WIcca on the cycles of nature emphasizes fertility of both the earth and its people.
Does the prevalence of God-and-Goddess and fertility symbolism mean that homosexual sex is tabbo in Wicca, since gay sex doesn't involve both a female and a male? Absolutely not! Polarity is expressed whenever two consenting adults come together to make love, and homosexual sex is as much about enjoying our earthly humanity as heterosexual sex is.
Does holding sex sacred mean that Wiccans have ceremonial orgies? That's not the point of sacred sex in Wicca. Understanding the spiritual side of sex frees some people from society's tight constraints about sex, so they may be more likely to experiment with multiple partners (which is hardly an orgy).

Carrera

Toryumon (2001-2004)
Sugawara debutó en Toryumon Mexico en diciembre de 2001, haciendo equipo con Berlinetta Boxer para derrotar a Syachihoko Machine 3 & Syachihoko Machine 4. Al poco tiempo, Takuya fue trasladado a Toryumon 2000 Project, una extensión de la empresa en la que predominaba el uso de la lucha técnica y de llaveo. Allí Sugawara se alió con Junya Fukumasa y varios otros luchadores para oponerse a Italian Connection, un grupo dirigido por Milano Collection A.T. que dominaba la promoción. Tras alguna semanas, Takuya cambió su nombre a Henry III Sugawara y se unió a Fukumasa y Anthony W. Mori para formar Royal Brothers, un trío cuyo gimmick era el de un trío de reyes europeos. Royal Brothers compitió activamente contra Italian Connection durante 2002 y 2003, intercambiando victorias y derrotas con ellos, a pesar de la inferioridad numérica.

Tras la disolución de Italian Connection, Royal Brothers volvió a quedar enfrentado con una facción surgida después de su cierre, Aagan Iisou (Masaaki Mochizuki, Condotti Shuji, YASSHI, Toru Owashi & Shogo Takagi). Fukumasa debió retirarse tras una lesión al cabo del tiempo, con lo que Royal Brothers quedó reducido a dos. Mochizuki, líder de Aagan Iisou, ofreció a Sugawara un puesto en su equipo, a lo que Takuya inicialmente se negó; sin embargo, la relación entre Mori y Sugawara comenzó a empeorar cuando un individuo enmascarado realizó varios ataques sobre CIMA utilizando el movimiento final de Sugawara, lo que hizo a Mori criticar a Takuya. Finalmente, CIMA atrapó a su agresor y le reconoció como YASSHI -quien actuaba bajo mandato de Mochizuki-, con lo que Mori declaró que ya confiaba íntegramente en Sugawara. Sin embargo, durante el torneo El Número Uno 2004, Sugawara traicionó a Mori, declarando que estaba cansado de las desconfianzas iniciales de Anthony; tras ello, Takuya pasó a heel y se unió a Aagan Iisou bajo su nombre real. Poco después, irónicamente, Mochizuki sería expulsado del grupo por decisión del resto de miembros.

Dragon Gate (2004)
Después de la ida de Último Dragón de la empresa, Toryumon Japan fue renombrado Dragon Gate, contratando a gran parte de los antiguos luchadores de Japan. Sin embargo, a finales de 2004, todo Aagan Iisou (Shuji Kondo, YASSHI, Sugawara, Toru Owashi & Shogo Takagi) fue despedido de Dragon Gate por razones desconocidas, si bien se aclaró oficialmente que uno o varios de sus miembros habían cometido un inespecífico acto de conducta poco profesional durante uno de los eventos.

Dragondoor (2005-2006)
En abril de 2005, los miembros de Aagan Iisou se unieron a Noriaki Kawabata y a multitud de luchadores de Toryumon descontentos con Dragon Gate para crear la empresa Dragondoor. En ella, Aagan Iisou fue presentado como el grupo heel de la promoción, en oposición a la facción face de Taiji Ishimori; sin embargo, resultó que Kondo y su grupo recibían toda la acogida de los fanes, mientras que Ishimori no lograba conectar con ellos, así que el transcurso de Dragondoor fue más bien extraño. En su última función, Aagan Iisou fue derrotado por una reunión de Italian Connection (Milano Collection A.T., Berlinetta Boxer & Ibushino).

Pro Wrestling El Dorado (2006-2007)
Tras el cierre de Dragondoor, gran parte del plantel formó parte de la nueva encarnación de la empresa, Pro Wrestling El Dorado. Allí, Aagan Iisou entró en un feudo con STONED (KAGETORA, Brahman Kei, Brahman Shu & Manjimaru) sobre la lealtad de Takuya, quien había formado parte de ambos grupos. Al final, Sugawara traicionó a sus antiguos aliados de Aagan Iisou y se unió a STONED, pero expulsando a KAGETORA de la facción y autoproclamándose líder, renombrando el grupo como Hell Demons.

Pro Wrestling ZERO1 (2006-presente)
En junio de 2006, Sugawara apareció en Pro Wrestling ZERO1 como un representativo de Pro Wrestling El Dorado, haciendo equipo con Kagetora. A partir de entonces, Takuya comenzó a aparecer regularmente en la empresa.

Retorno a Dragon Gate (2009-presente)
En 2009, Sugawara comenzaría a aparecer en Dragon Gate, siendo el único miembro de Aagan Iisou en volver a trabajar con la empresa.

Just as we have a small supply of amaranth coming in to the co-op, one FIG member has written about a recipe for amaranth grain... the leaves can be used in curries and smoothies, etc.
Here's a little recipe that just came about at lunchtime yesterday in our kitchen that I thought others might like to try. Of course, it made maximum use of all our fresh, tasty, organic FIG produce that we are blessed to receive from our local farming friends.


This week's challenge asked course designers to share creative ideas for using the 2019 Pantone color of the year in e-learning templates. Examples shared include: games and quizzes, tabs interactions, template makeovers, and much more!
The Pantone challenge is still open! If you have one or more ideas you'd like to share, please jump over to the original challenge and post your links in the comments section. I'll update this recap page to include your examples.

This is an export model. Domestic one probably goes even further.
Indeed, the domestic model will probably be called R-37M and should equip MiG-31BM and maybe Su-35S no? How about Su-30SM, can't see any reason why it shouldn't carry it too, the radar certainly has the range?
I know, they test in past a missile (R-37) with 300 km range. Is RVV-BD the same missile? I'm sure this missile will be as well in armament of PAK-FA and Su-30SM, not only for Su-35 and MiG-31BM.
Pretty sure RVV-BD/K-37M/R-37M is a thoroughly up to date version of R-37 tested in early nineties.
The question is like above, is the X-25ML completley autonomous in its guidance and does not need any special software to be operated by aircrafts?
The reason i ask is because the X-25 missile can be launched from APU-68UM3 racks which are available for all russian helicopters and the missile where ever i've watched for information it is claimed it has selfguidance autonomous seeker, which should give it all necessary capabilities to lockon targets without specific software on the launching plattform to do so.
Air-to-Air Missiles : How long are their shelf life?
What is the typical shelf life of an air to air missile, for example the R-77?
After the expiry of their shelf life are they "recycled"? In other words simply replace the guidance kit coz I guess the warhead need not have to be changed.
RTN wrote: What is the typical shelf life of an air to air missile, for example the R-77?
Good question.... Due to the vast majority of them using solid-fuel, the lifespan should primarily rely on the fuels' lifespan (probably over 30 years if not more).
The electronics inside should last forever given they are protected properly.
Warheads never need changing AFAIK.
I would guess about the same or near same shelf life of modern IIR/CCD ATGM's which have a shelf life of around 15-20 years.
The worst thing for electronics and seeker is if they would be constantly fed by the internal batterie because the life of it would decrease to less than few hours at least of some internals.

Hmm... What do you think would be the first to go?
My guess would be the battery as you mentioned, but those are probably the easiest parts to replace.
I recall reading R-27 had a limited number of take off/landing service life- I would guess this applies to most missiles to. Would need to be checked after certified number of cycles were completed, even if actual service life was not exhausted.
Don't know about the newer missiles but the R-73 and R-27 had pylon hours of something like 22 from memory. The speed and vibration meant they needed checks and disassembly to make sure they were still OK and for any coolant to be replaced for cooling the electronics in high speed flight.
Shelf life was something like 10-15 years, but taking them on an aircraft where temperatures could change in minute from plus 40 degrees C to minus 60 degrees or colder, while launching the weapon could friction heat it to 300 degrees for short periods... it is a difficult thing to make sure it works. In comparison your lap top or desk top computer has a much easier life. rain snow hail too.
Just like mentioned by TR1 and GarryB, and to add something the operators of aircrafts try to avoid flying exercises with such missiles, because they are always "on" and contected to powersupply which over time reduces the quality of the seeker of the missile, which was already designed for "one-way-use" since it is a missile and usually to get the necessary electric power the batteries are different and have a very short life, which is again good for cost factor since it will epxlode anyway, the batterie with its short lifespan can produce more than necessary elecrtic power and that can damage some fine internal parts especially the hotter batteries get the more power they can sometimes produce.
The shelf-life relative long around 15-20 years but during use for excercises they reduce the service life drastically or increase the maintenance cost, but they can not be maintained for years, they were not designed to last long once in active operations anyway.
For exercises you can just use the same overly-abused missiles again and again; not to mention old ones.
If they don't fire.. well, then they don't fire - chalk it up as a hit anyway for the purpose of the exercise, and then check that missile over once the aircraft is back on the ground, and fit it on again for the next exercise.
The main thing is that your new, shiny, combat-rated missiles are kept well preserved and only equipped when they're needed to be.
Indeed, for practise, quite often dummies will be used... because of the limited pylon life of the real weapons a range of dummies are available.
They range from just dumb masses that mimic the mass and drag of the real weapon but with no functioning components, through to captive missiles with working seekers so lock ons can be practised through to test missiles with real seekers and real motors but dummy warheads that might have telemetry equipment to measure miss distance from the target drone.
Old stock missiles are used for live fire tests.
For operational missiles they will only be loaded onto aircraft that are likely to actually use them, in other cases dummies of various types are used.
is it true that R-74 and R-27ET can pull 90gs ?
R-27 however, might not so much considering it's heavier and have no Thrust vector control. 40G's are more likely.
The R-27 doesn't have TVC rocket motors, but it does have large forward control fins so it is possible that it might be able to pull extreme g turns.
The reverse butterfly shape of the control surfaces should make them able to pull turns with less drag and speed loss in the turns than conventional missiles.
Main barriers to high speed turns are small control surfaces limiting their rate of turn so high gs can't be acheived before they stall and stop turning the missile at all, and of course the structural strength to endure such high energy turns.
GarryB wrote: The R-27 doesn't have TVC rocket motors, but it does have large forward control fins so it is possible that it might be able to pull extreme g turns.
thanks a lot but i got to ask which of the air to air missile that have the best maneuverability ?
where can i learn about the shape of the control surfaces and more importantly how they effect the maneuverability ?
(47kg warhead in the R-27 acts like a 4.2 ton mass at 90gs) WOW , i need to learn this info too or the equation .
I am simplifying this quite a bit but a good rule of thumb is the size of a control surface will matter in that the larger the surface for a given speed will have more turning force applied and give better manouver capability.
An exception of course is when the control surface stalls... the front control surfaces of the R-27 where is starts out narrow and gets wider is designed to reduce drag and delay stall to give better turn performance than a standard triangular fin.
The potatoe masher type rear fins on the R-77 are also designed to give max turning force with a compact shape and high angles of attack before stalling.
the thrust vector engine gives excellent manouver capability, but only while the rocket motor is burning... just like aircraft a TVC missile has excellent turning ability.
the R-73 is smaller and lighter and has TVC so it can turn harder than the R-27.
The R-27ET has much longer range and a wider field of view because the missile body is wider.
If you were chasing down a target at low level the R-27 would have a better chance of running it down... otherwise the R-73 would be the preferred weapon... both don't just tail chase... they track the target and fly an intercept course to meet the target at a location ahead of where the target is at that time.
Makes them quite hard to evade.
Sorry... bad choice of words... everything has mass and mass does not change under acceleration due to another mass or movement.
the 47kg warhead weighs 47kgs at one g... ie sitting on a table. At 1 g its weight is 47kgs.
At 2gs its weight is 96kgs... its weight at 90gs is just 90 x 47kgs = 4,230kgs.
Its mass does not change... think of weigh as momentum, where speed is measured in gs.
F = ma, where for "m" (mass) in kg and "a" (acceleration) in g, "force" would be in kgs (kilogram force). For "m" in kg and "a" in m/s^2 (meter per second squared), F would be in N (newton).
So if a 70 kg pilot is maneuvering at 6 g, the force on him/her (his/her apparent "weight") would be 420 kgs. In this example, a = 6 g, and it is the magnitude of the vector sum of all accelerations on the pilot, and it includes the acceleration due to earth's gravity.
By the way, Garry intended to say 4.2 tonne force.
The missile maneuverability is a complicated matter; it would be hard to cover it here.
By the way, kgs is a unit of force (also weight); the "s" in it comes from the Russian word сила (force). Sometimes it's written as "kgf".
On the other hand, "kg" is a unit of mass.
… if a 70 kg pilot is maneuvering at 6 g, the force on him/her (his/her apparent "weight") would be 420 kgs. In this example, a = 6 g, and it is the magnitude of the vector sum of all accelerations on the pilot, and it includes the acceleration due to earth's gravity.
"… if a 70 kg pilot is making a horizontal 6 g turn, the force on him/her (his/her apparent "weight") would be 420 kgs. In this example, a = 6 g, and it is the magnitude of the vector sum of all accelerations on the pilot, and it includes the acceleration that counteracts the earth's gravitational acceleration".

Q: I'm creating a block avoiding game with JavaScript

SCRIPT

var block = [];
    function createEnemy(nth) {
      var divAddText = '

'
      document.getElementById('game').innerHTML += divAddText;
      block[nth] = document.getElementsByClassName(nth)[0];
      block[nth].classList.add("falling");
      setInterval(function() {
        block[nth].style.left = Math.floor(Math.random() * 290) + "px";
      }, 2000);
    }

As you can see in the SCRIPT part, I tried to write a block creating and falling code.
It worked well when I executed createEnemy(1) in chrome console.
The first block created went smoothly falling from random left points as I expected.
But as soon as I added createEnemy(2), the first block started to fall from the same left point while the second block was just fine falling from random left points.
Could any of you guys give me some insight into this issue?

A: Don't use innerHTML when displaying your enemies, instead use createElement and appendChild.

const enemies = [];
const game = document.getElementById("game");

function createEnemy(name) {
  const enemy = document.createElement("div");
  enemy.classList.add("block", "falling", name);

  enemies.push(enemy);
  game.appendChild(enemy);

  setInterval(function() {
    enemy.style.left = Math.floor(Math.random() * 290) + "px";
  }, 2000);
}

createEnemy(1);
createEnemy(2);
* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

#game {
  width: 300px;
  height: 400px;
  border: 2px solid #222;
  background-color: #ccc;
  margin: 50px;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
}

#character {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  background-color: #ffc554;
  border: 2px solid #222;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
}

.block {
  width: 10px;
  height: 10px;
  background-color: #ff5252;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border: 2px solid #222;
  position: absolute;
  top: -50px;
  left: -20px;
}

.falling {
  animation: fall 2s infinite linear;
}

@keyframes fall {
  0% {
    top: -50px;
  }
  100% {
    top: 450px;
  }
}

PS: I'm not sure why your code is not working as expected, I believe it has something to do with innerHTML. Hopefully someone could explain.

Q: Change Pixel colour values of UIImage I want to change the color of all pixels in UIImage. This code successfuly change the colour for a single point but when I run it in a loop for whole image then my Image disappears. First I read the pixel colour value then I apply changes to the colour of this pixel.
Also loop runs for i's 0 value only.
Below is the code
    UIImage *grayImage=[UIImage imageWithCGImage:source.CGImage];

                }

            }

            return grayImage;

}

A: I suspect you are running into this condition and returning nil (hence your image disappears):
if (!CGRectContainsPoint(CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, source.size.width, source.size.height), point)) {
    return nil;
}

I think your iterations should be over source.size.width and source.size.height instead of the containing view's dimensions.
On a side note, you are probably iterating at a level to high. It would probably be possible (and certainly more efficient) to only create on CGContextRef and apply all your changes. Honestly I haven't looked at your algorithm close enough but you should try to take everything that doesn't need to be reiterated over and over out of your loop.

A: You should look at using Core Image filters to do your color adjustments. They are very fast, and pretty easy to use. Erica Sadun's book "The iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook" includes a chapter on using CI that is very clear and easy to use. It also includes a work-around for an OS bug that prevents you from getting your modified image back from Core Image to a UIImage.

The Book of Beliefs and Opinions
Saadia Gaon; Translated by Samuel Rosenblatt; Prefatory note by Julian Obermann
Saadia Gaon, the great ninth century Jewish philosopher, was the father of both scientific biblical exegesis and Jewish philosophic theology. From his position as head of the great Talmudic academy in Sura, Babylonia, Saadia became the earliest grammarian and lexicographer of biblical Hebrew as well as the Arabic translator and commentator of the Hebrew Bible. Saadia's masterpiece, The Book of Beliefs and Opinions, was the first systemic attempt to present Judaism as a rational body of beliefs. This is the only unabridged translation into modern language of the entire text of Saadia's classic work.
Samuel Rosenblatt's distinguished translation adheres faithfully to the working of the original and at the same time makes the contents comprehensible to the general reader by cutting up long sentences and adjusting the syntax accordingly. The treatises have been divided into chapters, and as an additional guide an analytical table of contents has been provided. Also included is the first translation into a modern language of the variant of the seventh treatise.
"Saadia Gaon's Book of Beliefs and Opinions is the oldest surviving specimen of medieval Jewish philosophy. It remains also an outstanding specimen of Kalden interpretation of Judaism. Rosenblatt's translation is a masterly rendition."—Gerson Cohen, Jewish Theological Seminary
"This is the first translation into English of the complete text that influenced the development of systematic Jewish philosophical exposition of the teachings of Judaism. Rosenblatt, who was an excellent Judeo-Arabist and no less a fine Talmudist and rabbinics scholar, introduced the classic in its fullness to the English-speaking world and beyond."—Judah Goldin, University of Pennsylvania
"This complete English translation of Saadia's masterpiece has itself become a classic and belongs in every serious Judaica library." –Ivan G. Marcus, Jewish Theological Seminary

Would you be intrigued if I told you that there is a very simple way to instantly transform (or adjust!) your mood AND the moods of those around you?
Would you be even more intrigued if I told you it would cost you nothing?
Here's the secret… Take a Trip to Your Closet!!
It is as simple as being aware of what you are wearing, specifically the Color(s) you are wearing.
We don't realize the effect that color has on us, but it does make a big impact subconsciously. In fact, so much so that there is an entire alternative medicine field dedicated to healing through color!
I have shared why I Dress to Impress Every Day. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing my tips on how color plays a big role in your wardrobe/home/office and how you can use colors to your benefit.
Red: A very complicated color. Not only the color of passion, but of fear, anger, alarm. This color must be used carefully, and I find it best only as an accent color. Too much red can potentially put people on the defensive around your. Accent things like red lips, nails, bags or shoes, however, can stimulate passion from those around you and in yourself.
Yellow: Another complicated color! Not only the color of sunshine, which conveys a joyous, happy mood, but also the color of jaundice and sickliness. Bright shades of yellow are best, but ONLY as an accent color. A bright yellow bag, shoes, tie, scarf or blouse/shirt all can help boost confidence and promote optimism not only in yourself, but in those around you.
Green: This is the easiest color on the eye and can in fact reduce fatigue. This color is associated with nature and growth. Therefor it is both a relaxing and refreshing choice. Mixing shades of this color mentally balances and reassures us and others near us.
Blue: This is the most stable color. It promotes calm. The color blue soothes and positively affects mental clarity. A great color for job interviews, first dates, or if you are giving a presentation as it will instantly calm your audience allowing them to fully focus on you!
Purple: Associated with luxury and royalty, this is a great color for a day when you need to feel confident and magnificent.
Grey: Although a great supporting color, on its own it inspires people to be uninvolved, passive and tired. Always choose a pop of color to offset these feelings that grey provokes.
Black: A very intense color that conveys elegance, power, authority, seriousness and aggression. AND it is super sliming! This color is best when you need to negotiate something or you want to show that you are in charge.
Beige/Browns: This color brings to mind feelings of warmth, comfort, and security. It is a natural, down-to-earth, and sophisticated color.
White: To us here in USA, this color represents purity, trust, wholesomeness. It gives off a clean, happy vibe.
Colors do affect our moods and our productivity levels, though they are not the only factor.
However, how can it not be beneficial to choose a color that will work with you instead of against you?!

I was in an auto accident in 1996 and experienced a great deal of soft tissue damage to most of the right side of my body. My condition left me unable to sit for more than 5 minutes at a time, walk without a cane, and was in constant pain. I spent more than a year flat on my back. After the accident I followed the regimen the workers compensation doctors and physical therapists required of me to get rehabilitated and took the meds that had been prescribed. After a year, there was no improvement in my physical condition and my right side was 2 inches shorter than my left. I was depressed and worried I would never again be a viable active person.
So, I made a decision to quit the prescribed therapy and drugs and searched for another wellness solution. I went to an acupuncturist for pain treatment and a massage therapist to smooth out my muscles. In a matter of 2 months, my right side was almost as long as my left side and the pain had gone away. Glory be, I was back to 'living' again.
This year, 2010, now being 56 years old and still trying to do the things I could do at 30, the pain and discomfort returned. I went to see Dr. Marie Perkins, Acupuncture Physician, to see if she could help this old body get back on track. After seeing Dr. Perkins for less than a month, the pain disappeared and my mobility returned. She also treated my right hand, which had been stressed immeasurably by computer work. I was so happy I was finally able to write my father a letter without having to stop and start again to rest my hand. Another side advantage received from Dr. Perkin's acupuncture was weight loss and a positive improvement in my mental well being.
I wish to recommend Dr. Perkins to anyone that has experienced physical trauma. Perhaps consider visiting Dr. Perkins for treatment first, before other rehabilitation avenues. It just might save you a lot of time and pain!
I want to express to you with this testimonial, the extent of my gratitude to you for all the pain relief I have received from all of your treatments.
I came to you, not knowing what to expect. I was having several problems and after several treatments, procedures, I realized that I was able to tolerate the lessened pain and no longer suffered the severe leg cramps.
I have an inflammatory condition which Dr. Marie has always been able to help. First, to relax and feel safe and cared for and second to have pain relieved. The needles do not hurt at all and I don't need drugs for the pain.
For quite some time, I had tenosynovitis (trigger finger) in my right thumb and tendinitis in my left thumb. I had been to an orthopedist, chiropractor, and had taken natural anti-inflammatories, to no avail. In fact, my orthopedist said that he couldn't help me further unless I wanted surgery. The cortisone injection in my right thumb didn't help.
My husband had started going to Dr. Perkins before I did; and after finding out the needles didn't hurt, I thought I would try acupuncture for my thumb problems. (I never thought I would ever go to an acupuncturist; but, when traditional medicine failed, I was desperate.) To my surprise, acupuncture was very relaxing and didn't hurt. Because Dr. Perkins multidisciplinary experience, she used acupuncture, massage, Chinese medicine, and occupational therapy to help me. Also, she was available for telephone consultation after hours. I knew she really wanted me to get well.
After five visits, I continued with the thumb stabilizer (alternating thumbs at night) and the exercise ball. It wasn't too long after that before I realized I was able to bend my thumbs without pain again. I was so happy to have full use of my thumbs again. Thanks Dr. Perkins for your patience and care through my treatment.
Dr. Perkins is the absolute best in her field! I see her almost ever week and always walk out feeling refreshed and renewed. I recommend her to everyone who will listen.
From the day I walked into Dr. Perkins office She always treated me with the highest care. She after 3 visits my headaches were gone.Dr. Perkins also treats for neck and back pain from surgery. I now see her once a week. Because of Dr. Perkins I am now on very little medication. I can always count on the good Doctor, She always listens to you and treats you with the highest professionalism. In closing I wish all my Doctors were more like Dr. Perkins. Please give her a call you won't regret it. thank you Dr. Perkins.
Dr. Perkins has really made a difference in my health and in my life.
For two years in a row Dr. Marie has helped knock out the flu with combining acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. It was such a relief after each treatment to immediately feel so much better, but there was a bonus because acupuncture is so relaxing. No one has time for the flu, especially me, which is why I get in to see Dr. Marie within the first signs of the flu so it can be stopped in its tracks. I also love the fact that I have no medicine head with the Chinese Medicine that I take after the treatments. I never experience the fogginess and sleepiness that I always experience with over the counter cold/flu medicine.
I also receive cold laser therapy to my neck and shoulders to alleviate the pain and soreness I am continually combating from a prior whiplash injury. It is amazing how much relief I receive with each cold laser treatment. Dr. Marie is such a warm and caring doctor, and very knowledgeable in the treatment of her patients. I always recommend her to my friends, family, and clients for all of they health care and pain reduction needs.
Dr. Marie is always given kudos by the many members of our business group that use her service, and that is for the fact that Chinese medicine works.
She is extremely knowledgeable and offers detailed assessments of all items affecting ones health. From pain treatments, asthma treatments, to back pain, I fully recommend the services Dr Marie offers.

Most people are familiar with 'wet' salt therapy; Epsom salt soak, Nettie pot with saline solution or gargled with salt water. Dry salt therapy disperses micro particles of salt into the air. The inhaled particles provide antibacterial properties that penetrate deep into the respiratory system while the non-inhaled particles fall onto the skin.
Each nutritional plan is customized to the individual's needs by using Nutrition Response Testing(NRT). NRT is done through testing the body's neurological reflexes derived from the part of the nervous system whose job is to regulate the function of each and every organ.
Traditional chinese medicine is one of the oldest healing systems on the planet. It includes several healing methods such as acupuncture, herbal prescriptions and manual therapies all used to enhance the body's own ability to balance, regenerate and heal itself.
Infrared light penetrates deep in the body (2-7cm) reaching beyond the skin; muscles, nerves and even bones. It has been used in the medical field for over 40 years to enhance circulation, promote healing, reduce pain and detoxify the body at a cellular level.
Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) uses vibration, light and electrical waves to promote optimal flow of the body's lymphatic fluid. ELT stimulates the lymph at a greater depth than Manual Lymphatic Drainage, as a result it enhances lymph flow with far less therapy time.
Cold Laser Therapy is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light penetrating 2-5 cm below the skin. Once it reaches the target area, it interacts with the cells initiating the repair of damaged tissue, reducing pain, inflammation and edema subsequently accelerating the healing process.
We offer a variety of different manual therapy techniques: Acupressure, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Reike, Reflexology, Stretching and Trigger point Therapy.
Osteopathic Manipulation Techniques address problems of the musculoskeletal system, which includes nerves, muscles and bones. Less than 5% of the DOs in our country still perform this art as part of their practice.
Thermography is used as a health screening tool for early detection and differential analysis of abnormal vascular activity, inflammation and pain in the body.
All of our Yoga, Tai Chi and stretching classes are "Restorative". Each routine is carefully designed and adapted to safely help participants afflicted with acute and/or chronic conditions.

Q: Estimate result size of Natural Join I have the following tables
R1(A, B, C) with 1.000 rows
R2(C, D, E) with 1.500 rows
R3(E, F) with 750 rows
where a bold letter denotes a primary key.
I need to estimate the number of rows of the natural join R1 |x| R2 |x| R3.
My textbook has proposed the following solution
The Natural join of R1, R2 and R3 will be the same no matter which way we join them (join is both associative and commutative). Size can be estimated using the strategy of first joining R1 and R2, and then joining the result with R3.
Joining R1 with R2 will yield a table of at most 1.000 rows, since C is a key for R2. Likewise, joining that result with R3 will yield a table of at most 1.000 rows because E is a key for R3. Therefore the final relation will have at most 1.000 rows!
I would have thought that the final relation will have at most 750 rows, since R3 only has 750 rows.
Is the textbook solution incorrect, or am I missing something?

A: You have at most 1000 rows from the natural join of R1 and R2 because there are two possible cases: either 1) all the values of  R1.C are present in R2.C (i.e. R1.C is a "foreign key" for R2), or, 2) there are values in R1.C not present in R2.C.
In the first case you have exactly 1000 rows in the join, since the for each row of R1 there is exactly one row in R2 with the same value of C, since C is a key of R2, and for a certain value of C there is only one row in it, so you can join a row in R1 with only one row in R2, and the result has exactly 1000 rows.
In the second case you have instead n in rows in the result, with 0 ≤ n ≤ 1000, where n is the number of row in R1 whose value of C is present in R2: in fact, when a row of R1 has a value of C present in R2, you obtain again a single row in the result.
Combining these two possibilities, we can say that the number of rows in R1 ⨝ R2 is a value  n, with 0 ≤ n ≤ 1000.
Now consider the second join. Since you have at most 1000 rows in R1 ⨝ R2, in each of those 1000 rows you can have a value of E which is present or not in table R3. But since E is a primary key in R3, when you join each of those n rows with R3 you can find at maximum one corresponding row in R3. So your result will have a number of rows which will be equal to m, such that m ≤ n.
Putting together these results, we know that for m, the number of rows of  R1 ⨝ R2 ⨝ R2, holds the following: 0 ≤ m ≤ 1000.
Added
(Based on the comment of @ypercubeᵀᴹ).
Note that the result can be easily generalized. If you have a natural join or an inner equijoin between k tables Ri, i = 1, ..., k, and if you can reorder the join as: R1 ⨝ R2  ⨝ ... ⨝ Rk, such that Ri ⨝ Ri+1 is on the primary key (or unique attribute) of Ri+1, then the cardinality of the result will be always less than or equal to the cardinality of R1.

The act of speech has a great power to influence and convince the other. Your words and the tone of language you use shows the listener the intent and ambition of your proposition. This all starts with keeping a mind that thinks in the clarity of situations. And to have that state of mind, one has to be keen and analytically strong in order to know their own needs and requirements. The topic of this article is to find out all those things that you can keep in mind before making a purchase for your home or office especially when the purchase you're trying to make involves TV, internet or phone services (since it comes with a plethora of offers); and when it comes to bill negotiation, be a pro!
Everybody is a user of these services: internet, phone, and TV. These are like the fillers of your home that keep an individual—either a guest or a member of your family—entertained, involved, connected and well informed about the outside world. If you have recently shifted or moved from your state, or are about to, make sure that you bring yourself enough conviction to make a decision on buying an affordable service for yourself and your family. It is indeed not an easy decision for it brings a monthly commitment to the service you purchase for your ease and need.
Before we move on to explain all those things that you can keep in mind before purchasing an offer, do a bit of a research on your our requirements so that you know exactly what you want and how much of it, else you will cost yourself a huge amount of money and time. The wise way to spend a good life is to cut costs wherever you deem is possible; and later, use that money to buy something else – better yet, save it for difficult times or desperate needs. Buying a cable service? Go for the best tv prices! Buying internet service? Evaluate your needs and go on to buy the best service. Do not compromise on yourself.
The first and foremost thing to evaluate is your needs and requirements. What we are trying to say is, more often than not, we get ourselves the offer that we think is great just because it is offering a good number of channels and the fastest internet that there is; but once you look at the bill and compare it with the number of hours you spent on watching those channels and using the internet, you realize that it was, in fact, a bad choice. You could have done better with a cheaper package offered by the service. This is why we say that it is incredibly important to know what you need, when and how much. Once you know that, you can make a better decision on the subject.
In case you don't want to give up on the deals that offer your favorite channels, here's another thing that you can do and ask your providers about it: first, avail the low-tier cable deal, and then pair those channels of your choice with a streaming service or more low-cost alternative deals. Once you approach a good cable provider like Comcast, you will see a number of affordable, typically basic deals on how to lower comcast bill. These packages would be highly cheap especially when you bundle them with their internet service. Once you avail such a deal, you can sign up to at least have the local channels you want for yourself. You can then subscribe to other services like Direct Now, Sling TV, Netflix, and Hulu etc. to get the rest of the channels and shows you want for yourself.
How to lower cable bill? One of the cheapest and easiest ways to cut costs at such services is by buying bundle deals. The best thing about these deals is that you get multiple deals in lesser amount/cost. For example, if you were going to buy multiple services separately, you may have cost yourself a huge sum of money, but if you look for bundle deals—that could be double-play or triple-play—you will benefit a huge deal from these offers.
We often think that contracts are usually not a great idea when it comes to buying a new offer. You don't have to get a contract if you're uncomfortable with the idea. But before you make up your mind, there are a few things that you need to know. More often than not, these contracts are great in a way that they come with terms and conditions due to which they are cheaper than the other offers. Comcast and Xfinity do offer such services. In fact, they offer both services – on and off-contract.
This is where your communication skills and powers to manipulate would be practiced and tested. You call the service you are going to get for yourself. When you make that call, make sure you talk really nicely and gently with the representative. If they are willing to offer you a discount, go ahead with the negotiation. Bill negotiation indeed is an art. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't seem to work, make sure you give yourself another try. You could be in luck.
This was a guide on how to lower your cable bill. Keep in mind that you can get what you want if you really work for it. A little effort would not go wasted if done the right way.

ENEMY REIGN stream their new song "Forged From Suffering"
Denver death metallers ENEMY REIGN have unveiled their new track "Forged From Suffering", off the band's recently completed "Between Hell And Oblivion" album.
Drummer Andon Guenther commented:
I think 'Forged From Suffering' is one of the songs that defines our sound and gives listeners and insight into our personal musical tastes. It's got the d-beat/Discharge/Motorhead influence, coupled with our love for all things grindcore and just good, old fashioned, no-frills death metal. It's also a song we wrote as a follow up to the song 'Means To A Dead End,' and the writing approach was very deliberate to incorporate those ideas and give listeners an updated version of that song. It just rocks and that's all we really intended it to do. No more and no less. Moreover, it's a song that blends many genres but doesn't sound like it's a forced issue, and I think that's why it means so much to me on a personal level and that's a skill that ENEMY REIGN has been honing since its inception.
Go here to stream the song.

One of the major challenges for US companies when considering office interiors for a regional headquarters is the need to balance their established corporate style with a look and feel that will appeal to the employees and customers of the region in which they are operating.
Visual display products are often the last thought during an office refurbishment – and sometimes neglected completely. This means that an expensive refit can be spoiled when a client hastily makes a purchase decision based on immediate need. All too often 'traditional' whiteboards and noticeboards are installed, and this can have a detrimental effect to the overall appearance and functionality of any workspace.
The story of ENIGMA started with renowned Catalan Chef Albert Adrià's vision to create a 'frozen and enigmatic' restaurant project that was to reflect his cuisine as well as his career. His vision took shape when 2017 Pritzker Prize winner, RCR Arquitectes, drew its design idea in watercolours and decided to bring it to life with the help of Neolith by TheSize, manufacturer and designer of sintered stone.
When Ian Gowland of Big Blue Interior Design was asked to recommend and specify floor coverings for the new look Life Café at the International Centre for Life in Newcastle, he knew from past experience that Marmoleum Modular ticked all the boxes for this busy facility at the heart of the pioneering science village.
When the leases for International Game Technology's (IGT) three London offices were about to expire in 2016, the company acquired a 17,300ft² office at 10 Finsbury Square to create one big central office. Woods Hardwick was appointed to maximise the space through creative and efficient design while delivering sound value for money.
Attracted by the sustainability, ease of installation and vibrancy of Marmoleum Modular, interior designers HLW have used an array of colours from Forbo's new collection to create funky zigzag designs at the new 'City Tower in London' offices of leading e-commerce company, Neoworks.
In October, Sektor Interior Solutions hosted a roundtable with figures from the design and construction community including AHR, IBI Group, MRL Design, Space Group and Travis Perkins. Here we explore what the discussion reported – in particular the drivers influencing the changing shape of our interior spaces and the opportunities that innovation presents.
