Single European Sky
Since 2004, the European Union (EU) has gained competences in air traffic management (ATM) and the decision-making process has moved away from an intergovernmental practice to the EU framework. The EU's main objective is to reform ATM in Europe in order to cope with sustained air traffic growth and operations under the safest, most cost- and flight-efficient and environmentally friendly conditions. This implies de-fragmenting the European airspace, reducing delays, increasing safety standards and flight efficiency to reduce the aviation environmental footprint, and reducing costs related to service provision. Achievements have already been made at operational, technological and institutional levels; efforts are ongoing to maximise the benefits of activities initiated under the SES framework.
Some background statistics
The European ANS system (¹) covers 37 air navigation service providers (ANSPs) participating in a cost-efficiency benchmarking report, which is a business of EUR 8.6 bn with some 57 000 staff (compared to Airbus worldwide employment of 52 000) and 16 900 are air traffic controllers (ATC) compared to 13 000 ATC in the USA.
In 2014, the European ATM system controlled 26 800 flights on an average daily basis.
As a result of the SES policy, average delays for en-route air traffic flow management are now close to 0.5 min per flight, which is a remarkable achievement compared to the heavy delays that occurred in the 1990s and 2000s.
On average each flight is 49 km longer than the direct flight.
European airspace: 10.8 million km², 60 control centres - fragmentation of airspace.
Estimated costs of fragmentation of airspace amounts to EUR 4 bn a year.
Five biggest ANSPs (DFS for Germany, DSNA for France, ENAIRE for Spain, ENAV for Italy and NATS for the UK) bear 60 % of total European gate-to-gate service provision costs and operate 54 % of European traffic.
As consequence, 40 % of remaining gate-to-gate costs are borne by 32 other smaller ANSPs.
Big divergences in the economic cost-effectiveness of the ANSPs. This approach is based on the Community method, especially the power of initiative of the European Commission (EC), the monitoring of compliance by Member States with the legislation in force and the involvement of a regulatory Committee made of representatives from Member States (known as Single Sky Committee) with its advisory and regulatory powers.
The SES legislative framework consists of four Basic Regulations (N° 549/2004, 550/2004, 551/2004 and 552/2004) covering the provision of air navigation services (ANS), the organisation and use of airspace and the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network (EATMN). The four Regulations adopted in 2004 (the SES I Package) were revised and extended in 2009 with Regulation (EC) n° 1070/2009 aimed at increasing the overall performance of the air traffic management system in Europe (the SES II Package). On this basis, the Commission adopted and implemented extensive and comprehensive implementing legislation; this framework also includes more than 20 Implementing Rules and Community Specifications ("technical standards") adopted by the European Commission in view of ensuring the interoperability of technologies and systems.
Major developments have been possible due to the extensive involvement of stakeholders from the ATM community: industry partners, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), national supervisory authorities (NSAs), social dialogue with staff unions, airport authorities, the military and the certification authorities, and enhanced cooperation with Eurocontrol.
The SES framework has been supplemented by an integrated approach towards safety by the extension of the competencies of the EASA in the field of aerodromes, air traffic management and air navigation services, through the establishment of a joint undertaking (JU) on research & development, the SESAR JU (SESAR standing for the Single European Sky ATM Research) and of a SESAR Deployment Manager. A Network Manager for the European ATM network has been created, while an independent Performance Review Body (PRB) supports the Commission in the development and management of the SES performance scheme in which Functional Airspace Blocks (FABs) have a key role to play.
The overall SES objectives will be achieved through a holistic approach that encompasses five interrelated pillars: the performance-based regulatory framework, the safety pillar, the technological contribution, the human factor and the optimisation of airport infrastructure.
The SES does not stop at the border of the European Union. Its extension to third 'neighbouring' countries primarily relies on the EU's policy in the field of international relations. This policy, which gives priority to the association and/or integration of third countries into the EU legal framework, also considers the added value of regional cooperation activities carried out at the level of international organisations, such as the ICAO and Eurocontrol. EU representatives are active in these organisations to ensure overall consistency between its action in the external field and action undertaken under the aegis of such organisations. Cooperative operational arrangements with ANSPs from key partners of the EU are also being promoted by the Commission as a significant task of the Network Manager in order to better manage intercontinental traffic to/from the EU and improve the performance of the European ATM network.

ShowScoop is a website and mobile app platform on which users can rate and review artists, concerts, and music festivals they have seen or attended.  The reviews and ratings are aggregated in such a way as to answer the question "how are they live?" and help concert goers decide which live music events to attend.

History

ShowScoop was founded in August 2012 by Micah Smurthwaite and is based out of San Diego, CA.  In February 2013, ShowScoop launched its mobile app at the SF Music Tech Summit.  The application is currently available on the iPhone, with plans to expand into the Android market in the future.

Services

ShowScoop uses crowdsourcing to provide accurate ratings of live concert experiences.  In addition to viewing ratings, users are encouraged to rate and review concerts they have attended.  The ShowScoop database includes nearly one million artists and over 2.5 million live music events.

ShowScoop users can rate artists on four aspects of the performance—stage presence, crowd interaction, sound quality, and visual effects.  The rating system uses an ascending scale from one to five in each of the aspects, five being the best score possible.

In addition to the quantitative ratings, ShowScoop users are also free to write qualitative reviews in a provided comment section.  This allows users to explain their ratings and add further insight or opinion.

ShowScoop incorporates several facets of social media into its services.  Users can create a user profile to share limited personal information and store their ratings and reviews. Users are also given the option of sharing their evaluations with their social networks on Facebook and Twitter.  Users can "like" reviews, follow artists, and follow other ShowScoop users.

The mobile app allows users to take photos, apply filters, and share the final image in conjunction with reviews and through Instagram.

Road Crew

ShowScoop's "Road Crew" is a group made up of top contributors within the ShowScoop community.  The Road Crew assists in curating artist pages, assuring information quality and accuracy. In return, members of the Road Crew are given incentives, including free tickets to concerts and personal invitations to exclusive shows.

Missile Defense Becomes A Navy Mission
Loren Thompson Senior Contributor
Business in the Beltway Contributor Group
I write about national security, especially its business dimensions.
The USS Monterey. Image via Wikipedia
Earlier this month, the cruiser USS Monterey entered the Mediterranean Sea on a new mission. The Monterey was built three decades ago at the Bath Iron Works in Maine, but it is equipped with an improved version of Lockheed Martin's Aegis combat system that enables it to intercept the kinds of ballistic missiles Iran's radical Islamic government has been developing. Once on station, it will be the first visible manifestation of the Obama Administration's commitment to defend local allies against attacks by those missiles. Other warships will follow, and then a newer version of the Aegis system will be deployed ashore in Eastern Europe. The U.S. Navy will thus become the lead service in implementing America's missile defense strategy -- a development few observers could have predicted a decade ago.
The March arrival of the Monterey in the eastern Med is a good time to take stock of how the U.S. missile defense program has changed over time, and consider the way in which changing threats and technologies have transformed the role of the Navy in missile defense from that of a disinterested bystander to a key player. Although critics sometimes question the value of having a globally deployed fleet of warships, missile defense is one area where forward presence and unfettered mobility have proven to be increasingly important. But to understand why the Navy now looks uniquely suited to meeting missile defense needs, it is instructive to go back to the earliest days of the program, and trace how those needs have changed over time.
When Russia launched the Sputnik satellite in 1957, it wasn't the prospect that cosmonauts might beat American astronauts into space that worried Washington. What had policymakers panicked was the prospect that America's main Cold War adversary would use the same rocket technology to develop a force of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) against which the Pentagon had no defense. Up to that point, military planners had been focused mainly on the Russian bomber threat, but after Sputnik fears of a "bomber gap" were quickly replaced by fears of a "missile gap" that reshaped U.S. security priorities. Policymakers knew America needed its own force of long-range missiles to deter a Russian attack, but deterrence was a new idea so they also wanted to have the protection provided by real defenses. The Air Force and Navy were assigned most of the responsibility for the offensive part of the nuclear mission, and the Army got most of the responsibility for the defenses.
The reason why the Army ended up in charge of strategic defenses (to use Cold War military parlance) was mainly bureaucratic. When the Air Force became independent from the Army in 1947, the latter service retained lead responsibility for ground-based air defenses -- which at the time consisted primarily of anti-aircraft artillery. Artillery was gradually replaced by tactical missiles in the defensive role, but the Air Force was too busy building a fleet of long-range bombers and supersonic fighters to be bothered with ground-based air defenses, while Army troops had a clear need for such defenses. So when the need for defenses against ballistic missiles arose, it was logical to give the job to the Army. The Navy became interested in such defenses for its ships later, but in the 1950s there was no practical way for Russia to target U.S. warships at sea with ballistic missiles, so the sea service too had other priorities.
The Army developed a series of missile defense schemes over the following two decades with names like Nike-Zeus, Sentinel and Safeguard, but they all ran into fundamental design challenges caused by the fearsome effects of nuclear weapons. With thousands of warheads in the Russian arsenal and only a handful required to cause unprecedented destruction, it seemed impossible to develop the kind of near-perfect defenses required to mitigate the effects of a nuclear attack. And the decision of U.S. military planners to rely on nuclear warheads for their defensive missiles as a way of improving the prospects for successful interception raised a host of political and practical questions -- like whether explosions from intercepting the first wave of attackers would blind U.S. radars to subsequent waves. In 1972, the Nixon Administration gave up on the mission, signing an Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Moscow that (with subsequent modifications) limited each side to 100 land-based interceptors at a single site.
The one site the Army built -- in North Dakota to protect ICBM fields -- was shut down by Congress after a few months of operation, and from that point on America's survival in the nuclear age depended on the threat of retaliation and the good sense of Soviet leaders. But that was not a comfortable situation for a country that had always enjoyed the security of geographical insularity in the past. Republicans in particular felt that substituting the threat of mass murder for real defenses was dangerous and immoral. President Ronald Reagan spoke to those concerns in March of 1983 when he surprised the nation by proposing a "strategic defense initiative" that would use space-based sensors and laser weapons to stop any nuclear attack, no matter how big. At that point, much of the action in missile defense shifted to the Air Force, which was the lead service for military uses of space. Not coincidentally, the first commander of the newly-created Strategic Defense Initiative Organization was an Air Force general. Most of the commanders who followed were too, as the agency changed its name twice to become today's Missile Defense Agency.
Reagan's missile defense plans were controversial from day one, but what really did them in was the waning of the nuclear threat when the Russian imperium collapsed shortly after he left office. As Russia and its former satellites transitioned to democratic governments, the need for strategic defenses against countries that were no longer America's ideological enemies became unclear. The Clinton Administration transformed the missile defense program it inherited from Reagan and successor George H. W. Bush into a limited defense against "rogue states" like North Korea, and then proceeded to starve it for funding. Cancellation of most of the space systems associated with the Reagan-era program led the Air Force to lose interest. However, during the closing years of Clinton's presidency it became clear that both ballistic missile technology and nuclear weapons were being pursued by a number of radical governments, so missile defense was getting renewed attention even before Republicans recovered control of the White House.
It was at this point that the role of the U.S. Navy in missile defense plans began to grow -- thanks, ironically, to its possession of a sea-based combat system called Aegis that had debuted only weeks before Reagan proposed his strategic defense initiative in 1983. At its inception in the late 1960s, Aegis was conceived as an integrated system of computers, radars and missiles for defeating hostile aircraft at sea. The name may originally have been an acronym for "advanced electronically guided interceptor system," but it more commonly is associated with the legendary shield that the Greek god Zeus carried for protection. The Navy built two classes of warships around the Aegis combat system, beginning with the Ticonderoga class of cruisers in the 1980s and then the Arleigh Burke class of destroyers in the 1990s. The two classes were by far the best defended warships that ever went to sea, products of a revolution in information technology in which the Navy took an early interest.
Aegis wasn't initially intended to be part of a national defense against ballistic missiles, but by the end of the 1990s the Navy had good reason to be concerned about the proliferation of such missiles to potentially hostile littoral states. Countries such as Iraq, Iran, China and North Korea were either developing such missiles or already had them, and as time went by both the range and the accuracy of the missiles possessed by the most unpredictable states was improving. Some countries, like China, were also acquiring the means to track U.S. warships at sea. So the U.S. Navy began developing upgrades to Aegis that would enable it to defend against the most widely proliferated ballistic missiles, which were relatively short-range and slow in speed -- in other words, targets that a system originally developed for dealing with aircraft might be able to address through relatively modest upgrades. The advent of new technologies like hit-to-kill missile seekers and advanced signal processors greatly increased the defensive potential of the system while reducing the danger of collateral damage.
The real turning point for the Navy in missile defense, though, came when President George W. Bush withdrew America from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia in 2002. All the legal constraints that had prevented use of sea-based systems in missile defense schemes disappeared, and engineers could begin thinking about exploiting the full operational potential of the Aegis combat system. One result was that Raytheon was able to develop a new version of the Standard Missile used by the Navy for air defense engagements designated the SM-3 that was designed specifically to intercept ballistic targets. A series of upgrades to the missile in the years ahead will gradually increase its accuracy, agility and reach, enabling it to cope with a growing range of ballistic missiles, even fast-moving systems with intercontinental ranges. Multiple upgrades to the Aegis system are now progressing in parallel, with missiles, radars and computers all being improved in a series of increasingly capable increments that could one day make Aegis warships vital to defense not only of overseas allies and deployed forces, but also the continental United States.
Raytheon will have to compete with other companies for the right to build the more capable later versions of the Standard Missile, including Aegis integrator Lockheed Martin. However, its baseline version of the interceptor is already quite capable, which is why the Navy will conduct a test this spring to see how it fares against a Trident ballistic missile flying a longer, faster trajectory than the service currently is postured to counter. A series of increasingly demanding flight tests have demonstrated just how versatile the Aegis system is, achieving an 84 percent success rate that far surpasses the performance of other systems in the planned missile defense network. It is worth noting in that regard that the Aegis warships participating in the tests and technology upgrades are operational assets involved in a wide array of other roles even as they come to dominate the missile defense mission area. While it will still make sense to have multiple layers of defense against hostile missiles in which Aegis is only part of the solution, at present it is the part of the solution that looks most cost-effective.
It is also the most politically palatable response to the proliferation of ballistic missile technology among potential aggressor nations. In 2009, the Obama Administration killed plans to build a European version of the ground-based missile defense system already deployed in California and Alaska because of political controversy -- including threats against host nations from Russia. It opted instead to use Aegis technology for a defense of European and other regional allies against the ballistic missiles Iran is fielding. The USS Monterey's foray into the Mediterranean Sea is the first Navy mission implementing the revised plan, one that will be followed by a continuous sea-based missile defense capability in the region and a shore-based deployment of Aegis technology in Romania beginning in 2015. The White House plan, referred to as the Phased Adaptive Approach, calls for protecting an increasingly broad swath of Europe in four successive stages through 2020 as Aegis missiles, computers and radars become more capable.
A key feature of the current plan is to net together Aegis with other overhead and surface-based systems so that the overall architecture not only affords multiple layers of protection, but also maximizes the utility of each element. For instance, once all the sensors are inter-netted, a Standard Missile on the USS Monterey will be able to engage attackers beyond the targeting range of the warship's radar. By the same token, indications of hostile missile launches picked up by the ship's radar can be fed into a global tracking system to facilitate intercepts even when the ship's own missiles are out of range from the threat. Such flexibility is possible because the Navy operates a forward-deployed fleet around the world that can be relocated without regard to political boundaries as threat conditions change. That fact -- a key advantage of maritime forces since their inception -- explains why the U.S. Navy is well on its way to being the lead service in U.S. missile defense plans.

Q: Learn python the hard way, exercise 25 Hello everyone i am new to the python language and i have chosen learn python the hard way to learn it and to better my understanding... I am stumped on exercise 25 , When we import the code directly into the terminal
>>> import ex25
>>> sentence = "All good things come to those who wait."
>>> words = ex25.break_words(sentence)

And then I get an attribute error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'break_words'

I am using python 2.7 on
windows 7 please help..... http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex25.html

A: It appears to me that the exercise does not instruct the learner to save the file prior to the import. In order for this to work, you've got to save the code that defines the break_words function in a file called ex25.py using your text editor. Then, from the same directory open the python interpreter by typing:
python

and you should be able to import ex25 and run the break_words function which the ex25.py module has defined.

A: The code in your link for ex25.py does include that function - that yours doesn't suggests that you've somehow missed it when you transcribed the code into your file. Check that your ex25.py includes all the code from the page, and in particular contains this function (it's the very top one):
def break_words(stuff):
    """This function will break up words for us."""
    words = stuff.split(' ')
    return words

Consider pasting the code into your editor in preference to transcribing it in order to avoid errors like this.

Patch 1.2 Brings New Aspects to Tom Clancy's The Division, Introduces a Host of Bugs into The Game, Hotfix for Double UI Bug Released for PC and PlayStation 4!
Tom Clancy's The Division is an online open world third-person shooting video game that has been developed by Ubisoft Massive. The game was released by Ubisoft for the platforms of PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on 8 March 2016.
Since the launch of the game, Tom Clancy's The Division has become one of the most successful games from the house of Ubisoft. However, with all its success, came a number of bugs and glitches too that riddled that game.
The developers of the game have been constantly trying to sort out the issues within the game by rolling out back to back updates.
It has been reported that Ubisoft has rolled out a brand new hotfix for the PlayStation 4 version of the game. The hotfix in question comes with a version number of 1.05 and it was released on May 31, Tuesday.
The hotfix comes with a significant size of 4.5GB. Apparently, a previous update had introduced some bugs into the game and one of them was an issue related to the UI.
Several fans were complaining that their game had a double UI which was causing problems while playing it. Due to this bug, gamers were forced to restart the game multiple times which is indeed quite frustrating.
However, they need not fret anymore as the latest hotfix will sort out the issue. Various reports state that the developers had released an update to fix this particular issue on the PC version of the game too.
The hotfix that was released for the PC version came with a size of 1.6GB. However, they are yet to roll out a fix for the Xbox One version of The Division.
As for the update which caused this bug to be incorporated into the game, it was released on May 24. The title that was given to this particular patch was Conflict. The patch 1.2 aka Conflict brought about several bugs and error fixes to the game apart from introducing some new elements to it.
Some additional missions, brand new gears, a new Incursion and a new Dark Zone feature was introduced to the game via the patch. The new Incursion that is included in the update has been titled Clear Sky. The Columbus Circle is the location of this Incursion.
In this Incursion, a team of four players will be tasked with going up against Rikers and defeating them. An anti-aircraft device has been taken over by these Rikers. Teamwork is of utmost necessity in the Clear Sky Incursion. Players will have to work in collaboration with one another to succeed in their task.
Rewards can only be won by players by playing the Incursion in the hard mode. A 214 gear set item and a 204 high-end weapon are two of the rewards that can be won by players in the Clear Sky Incursion. Apart from these, the Incursion will reward players with other things too.
A brand new feature called Hijack Extractions will also be introduced to the game via the update. This feature will reportedly make the rescue missions even difficult. The Hijack Extraction feature will enable opponents to cut the rope during an extraction.
Obviously, this will result in the failure of the extraction. Moreover, the players who cut the rope will be able to acquire the loot for themselves. Though it might seem quite rewarding at a glance, it should be noted that it comes with a catch. The moment a player cuts a rope to stop the extraction, he or she will be labelled as a Rogue character.

Nigeria is blessed with several tourist locations.
Nigeria offers a wide variety of tourist attractions such as extended and roomy rivers, beaches ideal for swimming as well as other water sports. The country also has attractions ranging from the unique wildlife, vast tracts of unspoiled nature ranging from tropical forests, magnificent waterfalls, to new rapidly growing cities, and climatic conditions that are particularly conducive for holidaying. Other attractions include traditional ways of life preserved in local customs.
Also available are rich and varied handicrafts and other colorful products depictive or illustrative of native arts and lifestyle, as well as the authentic unsophisticated but friendly attitude of many in the Nigerian population. Many of these attractions are however still largely untapped. Visitors in search of fun, exotic, or adventurous experiences are encouraged to visit to enjoy and benefit from these wonderful offers.
Investment opportunities within Nigeria's tourism industry
A deterrent for many potential Nigeria bound tourists is the lack of required modern infrastructural facilities and acute conditions of underdevelopment as well as poverty in some parts of the country. The new administration, since the assumption of office, has been tackling these impediments to tourism. Local and foreign investors are therefore called upon to come and invest in the abundant tourism potentials in the country. The richness and diversity of Nigeria's tourism resources coupled with economic liberalization policies will provide investment opportunities in areas such as:
Development of Heritage and cultural tourism resources, such as the slave trade relics.
Establishment of museums and preservation of monuments.
Development of eco-tourism, including wildlife tourism resources.
Development of hiking trails and Jeep tracks in the national parks.
Development of picnic and camping sites at strategic locations within the trail circuit system in the national parks.
The building of tourist lodges.
The building of reception centres in various touristic sites
Provision of cable bus systems for touring the very rugged but scenic terrain of the mountains especially in Kanyang, Obudu, and Mambila Plateau.
Construction of lodging cabins for expedition tourists and rangers.
Establishment of hotels and resorts near waterfalls, springs, caves, and temperate climate areas such as Obudu, Jos, and Mambila Plateau.
Establishment of sports and fishing facilities in and around beaches
Development of water transportation and the provision of educational facilities for water skiing and swimming.
Establishment of holiday resorts along the coasts.
Development of amusement parks, entertainment facilities, and shopping services.
Development of arts and crafts which constitute symbols of the people's cultural values and love of nature.

This march was originally written for an occasion where brass bands from Sweden and Norway should participate. For that reason I used both countries´national anthems. With the title "Northern Bonds" I refer to bonds of friendship.
In the Bible it says: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Gal. 3:28) and I believe that God wants us not to make a difference between people. In our world all too often people treat each other differently because of their appearance, their work or their nationality. The march Northern Bonds is not only a friendship march between two countries. It is also an appeal to both value and treat people the same even if they are different. This message becomes very clear in the music when I introduce the song "In Christ there is no East or West". Furthermore the march ends with a mixed version of the national anthems of the two neighbouring countries.

Man charged with attempted murder of police officer after exchange of gunfire
A Cragsmoor man was charged with attempted murder of a police officer after he fired shots from his home at officers responding to his 911 call for subjects attempting to gain access into his home on Tuesday, state police said.
Cory Larson, 32, requested assistance at his residence, and when troopers from the Ellenville barracks arrived they were met with gunshots from the home, police said. After troopers exchanged gunfire with Larson, he emerged from the home unarmed, police said.
He was taken into custody without further incident or injury, police said.
Police said Larson was in the home alone and that they found no other people at the scene.
Larson was charged with attempted murder of a police officer, a felony; reckless endangerment in the first degree, a felony; menacing a police officer, a felony; and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor.
He was arraigned before Town Justice Wayne Lonstein in Town of Wawarsing Court and sent to the Ulster County Jail without bail.
He is scheduled to return to court on Friday.

Watch: Std 5 Boy's Head Gets Stuck Inside Safety Cone & Bomba Cuts It Open to Release Him
Emily Sørensen
Like us on Fb for nice tales every day!
Uh-oh, appears like this poor boy had a slightly unlucky incident as a result of his playfulness! A video has been circulating on social media the past few days of a primary school student who had somehow gotten his head stuck inside those safety cones you see by the roadside. The cones we see are usually orange but the one he had was green!
According to Sinchew, it turns out that the boy is a Standard Five pupil in one of the SJKC schools in Kuala Penyu, Sabah and he had been fooling around with the safety cone on Tuesday (April 9). He had been waiting at the bus stop for his parents to pick him up after school and was playing with the cone.
Somehow, for some reason that still baffles us, he decided that it was a good idea to stick his head inside the cone. Probably in an attempt to see how far he could put his head in? While he managed to get his head inside, taking it out was another issue altogether because the boy realised that he was stuck and couldn't get it off!
Source: Sinchew
It is believed that a few of his friends who were there saw his predicament and notified the teachers about the situation. They called the Fire and Rescue Department for help as they could not take it off as well. Around 2.26pm, about five abang bomba and a fire engine arrived at the scene to rescue the poor boy who had been stuck inside.
After deliberating, they decided to use a hacksaw to cut off the top portion of the safety cone to try and get him out. During this process which took about half an hour, they were extra careful as they did not want to injure the boy at all. Finally, they managed to rescue the boy from his cone prison and thankfully, he did not sustain any injuries.
Netizens who saw the video were seriously amused by the boy's antics and wondered why he thought it would be a good idea to do so. Some of them said that the boy would have a great story to tell his friends next time.
The boy has probably learnt his lesson well and would twice before he decides to do something silly again!

PUBG Mobile Is Collaborating With Higurashi: When They Cry – Sotsu
Preston Byers Sep 30, 2021 3:53 pm Sep 30, 2021 4:15 pm
Screengrab via PUBG Mobile Japan
Japanese fans of PUBG Mobile are in for a treat, as the game announced it is partnering with anime series Higurashi: When They Cry – Sotsu in a special collaboration.
From September 30th to October 14th, players in Japan will be able to earn voice card samples of the anime's characters, including Rena Ryugu, Keiichi Maebara, and Satoko Hojo.

Recent estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that homeownership is increasing among the population under 35 years of age. Based on research conducted by our TTLC Research Team, since the 2nd quarter of 2016, this age group has seen the highest growth rate in homeownership at an increase of 5.3%, while the U.S. as a whole has seen a 2.0% increase in homeownership over the same time period.
Looking closer at the breakdown among the age groups, we can see that since 2012, the home buying rate for Millennials has pulled ahead of all other generations of home buying age, moving from a rate of 34.1% to 36%. While the rate of increase has a lot to do with the fact that homeownership among this generation is lower to begin with, it's clear that this trend toward homeownership is now being felt in this segment of the market.
Of course, it makes sense that as the economy improves, and the younger working population begins to find the jobs that eluded them during the recent recession and the slow recovery, their situation and prospects for the future should improve. They can consider starting a household of their own, and as we know, when shifts in household lifestyle occur, changes in homeownership follow. Marriage can lead to the need for more space or relocation, job changes can necessitate a move, and the birth of children can require more space and the focus on a different lifestyle altogether.
It appears however, that rising rents may be one of the biggest contributors to this trend, as reported in this recent article in Builder magazine. These sky-high rental costs affect Millennials even in high paying jobs.
It remains to be seen how the homeownership trend continues. To continue an upward trajectory requires accessible housing inventory reasonably priced with favorable financing options. We know that rising rents, the high cost of housing and the lack of inventory that we've talked about in past months has not yet shown measurable signs of abatement. In fact, the increasing interest rates may inflame the situation in the near term, although we believe they can act as a mitigating factor on rising home prices over time.
Repurposing outmoded property in infill locations is one means we believe is answering the challenge. Our team is focused on finding solutions that follow this path.

Cancer is a deadly and scary disease that can very easily take a person's life. About half a million people died from cancer in 2009. It affects so many innocent people's lives. Rhio O'Connor was diagnosed with a very serious and deadly cancer called mesothelioma and wasn't supposed to live longer than a year. But he actually lived six more years because he did his research and worked so hard to do as many treatments and things as he could. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer in which the skin that protects most of the internal organs of the body separates or breaks and damages the organs that it is supposed to protect. Over 2,000 people are affected by this scary disease, and more information can be found at https://survivingmesothelioma.com/basics.cfm.
I can relate to Rhio extremely well because I too, was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and have worked hard to increase my life span. When I was born, I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease. It affects my lungs and digestive system. Cystic fibrosis used to not be a very well-known disease, but that has definitely changed because more and more people are born with CF. The life expectancy for a person with CF when I was born was 17. The doctor told my parents I probably wouldn't live to graduate from high school, but I proved them wrong. Immediately after I was born I had to have a surgery to reconstruct my digestive system. In simple terms, my digestive system wasn't wired correctly so they had to fix it. But that was just the beginning of my family's journey and my lifelong battle. As soon as I was old enough to understand my disease, I took control and did everything I could to live as long as I wanted to. I did all my treatments I was supposed to do and never missed a dose of medicine. I also took all of my antibiotics and pills I needed to stay healthy. And whenever the doctors thought it was necessary, I went to the hospital for surgery. As soon as I understood all of the aspects of my disease I became very determined to help find a cure for CF. My mother and I did numerous CF fundraisers and even talked with my doctor about what they were doing to find a cure. She told me they were getting so much accomplished because of all of the donations and hard work. That just made me even more determined. In November of 2009, I got up in front of my entire high school and told them my story. I explained all of the painful things I had been through and the challenges I had to overcome to be here today. There was not a dry eye in the crowd as I told my story because many of them knew me personally and understood how hard my life has been. I asked them to help me raise money for CF and I ended up raising about $6,000 just from my school and community to go to the CF Foundation. Just since I was born, the life expectancy has gone from 17 to 29 because of so many new medicines they have came out with and all the research and money that was done. I am very lucky to have so many people impacted by the disease that want to help.
If my doctors told me I only had a year to live, like they told O'Connor, I would definitely take action, just like he did. It's hard to know exactly what I would do, but I know that I wouldn't want to stand for it. And I know my family and friends would be right by my side the entire time. They would help me and encourage me whenever I wanted to give up. I would definitely weigh my options and see every cancer doctor I could to get their opinion. Of course, I would do my research and learn everything I could about the diagnosis as well. I would probably try most of the treatments and see which worked best for me. But if a doctor firmly believed in a type of surgery, I would try that. I wouldn't want to just experiment with my life though, I would want to know all the benefits and side effects of each treatment or surgery before I tried it. I would just have to do as much research as I could and trust my instincts. Most of this stuff I have done or am doing right now with my cystic fibrosis.
Rhio's story inspires me so much. Just for the fact that he cared and he wanted to make a difference. Those are two things that a ton of people in that situation wouldn't have done. He did so much to live a longer life and put so much work into his health. I honestly don't know how he did it. It definitely inspires me to do the same and continue to work hard to take care of my body. I'm motivated by him and always will remember his story.

Elvis Multi-Strike is a flat-top online video slot machine that is based on the exceptionally famous King of Rock 'n Roll, Elvis Presley.
Elvis Presley was an American musician as well as an actor and is still considered one of the most memorable and influential cultural icons of the 20th century.
This slot is a game that features 5 reels, 3 different levels of play across 60 paylines and, aside from the given bonus of the multi-strike feature, has multiple bonus features, including 2 bonus rounds. This game can be played for free or for real money, with an app available for compatible mobile devices.
Elvis Multi-Strike slots display attractive imagery of the famous popstar Elvis from many aspects of his life, with symbols showing illustrations of a classic car, Elvis's autograph, Graceland, a teddy bear, a guitar and a microphone – making up the low value symbols.
The game's high value symbols are comprised of letter symbols, E, L, V, I, and S that make up the word Elvis and provides the highest paying combination of 10 000 coins when all 5 letters appear on the reels. Bonus symbols include a Fan-O-Meter symbol, a Photo Memories symbol, a Rockin' Respins Bonus symbol, and a TCB Logo symbol, which was Elvis's band, Taking Care of Business.
The Multi-Strike feature in this game can be considered one of the highlights, with it being comprised of 3 levels and each level depending on the amount of paylines a player bets on. The 1st level is made up of the 20 paylines at the bottom 3rd of the reels, the 2nd is made up of paylines 21 to 40 in the middle level of the reels and the third and highest level is comprised of paylines 41 to 60.
Players can advance to a higher level in 2 different ways, with the 1st being that any win will push your next spin on to the next level. The second way is to activate the Free Ride feature which can be achieved by landing 3 Rockin' Respin symbols anywhere on the reels. Players can benefit from progressing to higher levels, where all wins on the 2nd level are multiplied, all wins on the 3rd tripled and all wins on the 4th quadrupled.
The Rockin' Respin is a bonus feature in Elvis Multi-Strike that is activated when 2 Photo Memories symbols on reel 1 and 2 and lock in place. This can happen on any level and also gives a scatter award when 4 of these symbols appear anywhere on the reels, applying a triple multiplier to a player's total bet as well as the level multiplier for the duration of that spin.
Once a player has triggered the Photo Memories bonus, they are then prompted to spin the record in order to continue collecting pictures. The more a player collects, the more prizes they will earn.
Elvis Multi-Strike features a 2nd bonus game that is activated when 3 Fan-O-Meter symbols appear on a wagered payline. Players are then presented with 5 different illustrated televisions, with each displaying Elvis Presley songs and prompted to pick one. The television will then show Elvis concert footage, and the reaction from the audience will determine just how much the player is awarded.
If a player pegs the meter they will be awarded with an encore, which then means the player can pick another Elvis song and subsequently earn another prize.

American College of Radiology and University of Pennsylvania Create Joint Program to Advance Quantitative Imaging Diagnostics and Analytics
The American College of Radiology ® Center for Research and Innovation™ (CRI) has announced a new collaborative effort with the Center for Biomedical Image Computing & Analytics (CBICA) in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). The collaboration will leverage the ACR's industry-leading research infrastructure and Penn's scientific expertise in a joint effort to more rapidly advance imaging informatics.
Penn and the American College of Radiology CRI will focus on developing and hosting analytic tools that will be made available to the broader community through the ACR Data Analysis and Research Toolkit (DART) or other platforms, as appropriate. The first example is the Cancer Imaging Phenomics Toolkit (CaPTk), a software platform for the analysis of radiographic cancer images, currently focusing on the brain, breast, and lung cancer. CaPTk aims to facilitate the swift translation of advanced computational algorithms into routine clinical quantification, analysis, decision making, and reporting workflow. Its long-term goal is providing widely used technology that leverages the value of advanced imaging analytics in cancer prediction, diagnosis and prognosis, as well as in better understanding the biological mechanisms of cancer development. Follow-up directions include involvement in the Federated Tumor Segmentation initiative (FeTS), which aims at facilitating privacy-preserving multi-institutional collaborations on computational analyses without sharing patient data.
"Data and tool-hosting platforms like DART play an important role in data processing and the radiomic, pathomic and genomic analysis used to develop AI algorithms and advance virtual clinical trials," says Etta D. Pisano, MD, FACR, chief research officer of the American College of Radiology. "The ACR is committed to making more tools available in DART that support researchers and data scientists who are working to build these automated capabilities."
"Our goal in this collaboration is not only to make these computational tools more publicly available but ultimately to leverage such synergies and the DART to be able to evaluate radiomics biomarkers, such as the ones enabled by CaPTk, in prospective oncologic clinical trials," said Despina Kontos, Ph.D., an associate professor of Radiology at Penn, co-chair of the ECOG-ACRIN Radiomics Working Group and a member of the computational science lab.
Sites interested in participating can learn more about the project by contacting Michael Boss, Ph.D., director of the ACR Imaging Core Laboratory at mboss@acr.org.

Can anyone get luckier than that?
They ecto-mesomorphs have broad shoulders, narrow waists, ankles, and wrists, and a "V" shaped torso.
We have always known John Abraham to possess perfect muscles besides being lean and fit and the secret behind this is an increased intake of Carbohydrate & protein intake with perfect practice technique.
This helps to gain weight easily on the muscles. Many a time, people gain weight on joints instead of muscles to avoid which John has undertaken serious training and proper guidance under his personal fitness trainer Vinod Channa.
After workout: 6-7 egg whites with a protein shake.
Breakfast: Black coffee/green tea, 4 egg whites / 1 potato/sweet potato/corn/wheat flakes/brown bread and one apple.
Dinner: Bajra/ jowar/ nachni rotis.
No carbs intake after 5 pm and dinner before 9 pm.
John Abraham's workout schedule involves working on two body parts a day – one big muscle followed by a small muscle.
For instance, he works out on chest and triceps on a particular day, shoulder and biceps on another day, back on some other day and legs twice a week.
Each workout contains 4 sets of 10-12 reps each. Each body part has 4 or 5 variations of the exercise. After the workout, he runs for 20-25 minutes, which gives him the cardio part of the workout.
John works on the formula that if you wish to bulk up and build muscles, you need to weight lift first followed by cardio in the end.
This is how with the right knowledge & guidance and steel like grit and determination, John Abraham looks the way he does and blows us away with his macho demeanour and stunts.
