Job Sprawl in Metro New Orleans
Allison Plyer	Richard Campanella	(Tulane University)
Jobs in the New Orleans metropolitan area are distributed in a manner very differently than people. While residences are fairly evenly dispersed across the cityscape, most jobs occur in three major clusters (the Central Business District, Greater Elmwood, and the Veterans/Causeway/I–10 area) as well as roughly a half–dozen secondary clusters and 40 additional smaller ones. The differing geographies of where people live and where they work shed light on the problems of road congestion, commuting time and expense, and reduced worker productivity and reliability. The maps and data in this brief may be used to inform policy on workforce housing, public transportation, land use, zoning, and economic development.
Over the past several decades, residents have moved away from New Orleans' city center and into increasingly distant parishes. While "people sprawl" and its effects on road congestion are well understood, "job sprawl" and its impacts have received less attention. When new workplaces form along interstates and commercial corridors, it is difficult to design public transportation to access them effectively. Thus, workers are more dependent on autos, increasing road congestion and commuting time. In addition, research suggests that lower–density employment reduces opportunities for knowledge spillovers and high–value innovation activity by diminishing interactions among proximate firms and workers. The spatial distribution of jobs, therefore, has implications not only for housing and transportation policies, but also for economic development.
The New Orleans metro area has experienced significant job sprawl since the 1990s. Jefferson Parish now has more jobs than Orleans Parish in all income categories, and together the two parishes account for three–quarters of all regional jobs. Jefferson has more than 43,000 low–wage jobs (paying less than $1,250 per month) with nearly 22,000 of these workers commuting into the parish for work. Orleans Parish has the second largest number of low–wage jobs, and, like Jefferson, imports more low–wage workers for those jobs than it exports to other parishes. Orleans and Jefferson both have a sizable number of moderate–wage jobs paying $1,251 to $3,333 per month (59,554 and 81,441 moderate–wage jobs respectively). Lower housing costs in other parishes like St. John the Baptist and St. Bernard seem to be drawing residents working at low and moderate–wage jobs in Orleans and Jefferson. These long commutes add to road congestion and reduce worker productivity.
This brief examines exactly where jobs are located within Jefferson and Orleans parishes, compared to where workers live. It looks at where industries are clustered geographically and identifies the clusters with the largest numbers of low–, moderate–, and high–wage jobs. This analysis can help inform policies that support the location of workforce housing near low– and moderate–wage jobs to increase worker productivity and reliability, as well as the site–selection decisions of knowledge–dependent enterprises.

text: ===Weapons === The weapon system is ahead of many other games of the time in terms of complexity, brutality, and realism. There are a total of eleven weapons in the game, divided into three groups: the bullet weapons, the missile weapons, and the magic weapons. Bullet weapons have infinite ammo. There are only three bullet weapons, which are: * '''Pistol''' - An ordinary pistol. * '''Dual Pistols''' - Two ordinary pistols, John Woo -style. * '''MP40''' - An automatic machinegun. Missile weapons have limited ammo that varies. The missile weapons constitute the bulk of the entire available arsenal in ROTT and include: * '''Bazooka''' - Can hold up to ten missiles; fires a straight-flying missile. * '''Heat-Seeker''' - Holds up to seven missiles; fires a single heat-seeking missile; slightly weaker than the bazooka. * '''Drunk Missile''' - Capable of holding up to seven rounds; simultaneously fires five heat-seeking missiles that fly in different directions. * '''Flamewall''' - Highest possible ammo is five missiles; fires a straight-flying missile that eventually hits the ground, and when it does so, produces a swift-moving wall of flame that stretches as widely as possible, from one side of a room to the other, and explodes upon impact with an obstacle and reduces enemies that are in the way into heaps of charred bones. * '''Firebomb''' - Probably the most powerful weapon in the game. It can have a total amount of five missiles; fires a straight-flying missile that, upon impact, produces an X-shaped, earthshaking pattern of mushroom cloud explosions. * '''Split Missile''' - At most, can have seven missiles; if the key to fire a weapon is clicked once, this weapon fires two heat-seeking missiles that travel in opposite directions. If the said key is briefly depressed and then released, this arm will fire a single missile that would eventually split into two heat-seeking missiles. Magic weapons, like missile weapons, hold varying limited ammo, depending on the weapon. There are two magic weapons, which are: * '''The Dark Staff''' - Maximum possible ammo amount is seven; an enchanted staff that fires a fast-moving, powerful projectile. * '''The Excalibat''' - Ammo can be up to ten; an ensorcelled baseball bat that, when the key to fire a weapon is pressed once, is swung. When the key to fire a weapon is depressed for an appropriate duration of time, the bat launches a simultaneous series of baseballs that explode on impact. Players can carry a total of four different arms at once; all three bullet weapons and a missile or magic weapon—a realistic limitation that is the first of its kind to be found in an FPS.

De Artesia Geyser is een conusgeiser in het Lower Geyser Basin dat onderdeel uitmaakt van het Nationaal Park Yellowstone in de Verenigde Staten. De geiser maakt deel uit van de Black Warrior Group, waar onder andere de Young Hopeful Geyser deel van uitmaken.

De geiser heeft twee conussen. De erupties komen tot een hoogte van 1,5 meter. Gedurende een periode in 1999 bereikten de erupties van een van de conussen een hoogte tot 3,7 meter, terwijl de ander enkel stoom uitblies. Het water in de bron heeft een temperatuur van zo'n 88 graden Celsius.

Establishing a new settlement may be a way for Netanyahu to appease far-right members of his coalition government who are likely to object to any concessions to US demands for restraints on building.
Israeli political sources, however, said the new construction would actually take place within the boundaries of an existing settlement.
The new community would then be declared its own settlement, a nuance that might be enough to stave off possible US opposition to the move.
Trump, who had been widely seen in Israel as sympathetic towards settlements, appeared to surprise Netanyahu during a White House visit last month when he urged him to 'hold back on settlements for a little bit'.


There are no rules, except please post gratitudes, not complaints. You may post daily, once a week, whenever you want.
Recognizing the positives in our lives helps us nurture our resilience and can improve our happiness factors and our health outcomes.
Kinda ironic to be posting this here but I'm grateful for my health and level of mobility at the time. Understanding what the possibilities could be, I'm thankful for my current circumstances.
This time of the year seems to get hectic but Christmas gives us plenty to be thankful for...pumpkin pie is one of the small things that comes to mind.
I agree with you Boudreaux about being thankful for current circumstances. I had a very busy and active life before this disease slowed me to a snails pace, but I am thankful for the time with my husband and family. I am thankful for the request to bake the pumpkin pies.
Grateful for family and friends who love and support me, but also give me the kick I sometimes need when veering off track.
With the help of family, friends, medical team, and people here, grateful that I have learned to live with MS, making room for it in my life, as just another part of it. Like other parts of life, it can challenge me, disappoint me, but most times, reinforces the need to slow down and appreciate the important things in life.
Grateful for family traditions that started with my deceased parents, but continue today, with their grandkids and great grandkids looking forward to them. Saturday is our 33rd annual cookie day - rolling out and decorating sugar cookies, painting wood ornaments and glass balls. Best part - since I have trouble rolling after a few trays, others roll for me - I get to do the fun part and decorate. And of course, for the adults, wine!
There is always something to be grateful for - some days easier than others to see. But if we look, we can find it.
Gratitudes for Friday. -- what an awesome time of year!
1. I just love reading other gratitudes this t8me of year. Especially, sometimes, the simplicity of them. It's so cool that it doesn't need to be big things we are grateful -- sometimes it's the small things we are thankful for.
2. Annual Christmas "Holiday of Lights" parade in our community yesterday evening. I am grateful that, in a cold evening, we found an indoor place to watch them from. And I'm grateful that hubbyBess willing, without me begging him, to go with me.
3. Christmas movies, Christmas music  , my grandson talking about "socks" Christmas stockings hanging up (on Skype).
Attended the Charles Olsen Holiday Home tour. It's an annual fundraiser that's been going on for 50 years. It raises money to offer scholarships for private music lessons for deserving high school students.
The home tour features four local homes (often historic homes, sometimes modern), decked out for the holidays, each hosting a mini concert of holiday music.
I've lived in this community for 29 years. The first time I heard of this event was 11-14 years ago, when my daughter was part of one of the music groups featured. The first, second and third flute chairs of HS Wind Ensemble Band (all three good friends from prior to kindergarten) played a flute trio of holiday music. They were also all some of the recipients of the scholarship award some or all of their HS years..
Since then, I've attended almost every year.
The homes are so festive. And the holiday music performances are quality music from some of the best of local musicians.
I really enjoyed it, on spite of being physically tired after the busy afternoon.
I was able to work out again today.
I ran for 12 minutes with no problem. I think I could have gone longer but the treadmill at the gym at my apartment is possessed and likes to change the incline to random things and it was getting annoying to have to keep changing it back to what I wanted.


Who did the Popeye in the character contest?
I just loved him ,he was my favorite he looked just like in the old cartoons when they showed Popeye as a baby,Loved ,loved him !!!!! I think I know by the tats on his arm who might have done him.
I loved him too! He got my vote!
You should see him in person!
He is now Toby and lives with Carolyn Duff in Manchester Michigan.
Barb did a wonderful job on him and his skintones and even that huge mouth of his looks real! His expression seems to change too. One time you look at him and he is angry, another sad and another laughing a belly laugh. Just adorable!
I'm guessing the tattoos were stickers?
Popeye the Sailor Baby was such a cutie too. The sculpt was perfect for a baby Popeye. I loved his skintone and outfit was so adorable. This contest was so hard to vote for! Barb did a great job on that little Popeye!

When you travel places, you are in constant search for a destination, a moment where you can say it was worth all the effort. An effort that took you places, making you meet people from different walks of life. Sometimes, you bond with them and other times, you prefer to move on that very second but when you see back, there is always a person waiting for your return and that's what you call your home. Many of us may also be loner in our real life but we want that our crush to be looking for us isn't it?
What's fun to drink if you don't have someone to share your drink with? Always, like always value relations over anything else. You may succeed in life with thousands of people following you but if you don't have any single one of them available at your one call, then love, you took the wrong turn.
This Navy Long Sleeve Shift Maxi Dress from Shein.com is everything you need to rock that cocktail look. As the colour I chose is vibrant blue and it's quite bright, you would not want to pair it with loud accessories as the whole look of it can go wrong. Instead go with minimal accessories like studs or rings, you can even carry a sling to do justice the whole look.
This is one of those dresses that can be worn during day or even night just by changing the accessories you would want to pair.
I have styled quite a lot out of outfits from Shein.com and well to be honest, this one is my favourite till date. You can directly shop it from here. Also, if you are looking for more Autumn/Winter dresses, you can even see how did I styled this grey dress from Shein.com.
Olive Green, colour of the season.

About 90% of the stadium was torn down and replaced, including portions that have stood since its original construction in 1937. Only the upper decks, which were added in 1990 and remain viable as part of a modern facility, remained.
The new Camping World Stadium offers an enhanced fan experience at every level, with wider, chair-back seating, new concessions areas and restrooms, and new club and premium spaces throughout the building.

The Angling Trust and the Institute of Fisheries Management held a workshop at Barston Lakes in the midlands for academics, Defra, the Environment Agency and fisheries and angling groups to assess the impacts of growing numbers of otters on fisheries and to identify actions to minimise them.
The workshop heard that the resurgence of otter numbers has been almost entirely driven by natural regeneration as a result of the withdrawal of harmful chemicals in the 1970s and 1980s. Genetic evidence shows that the offspring of captive-bred otters, released up until the 1990s, have not moved very far from the midlands. The only otters released since then have been wild-born injured or orphaned animals which have been rehabilitated in sanctuaries. Although official surveys have a low level of confidence about the numbers of otters nationwide, there is consensus that numbers are growing and they are becoming more widespread. In some areas, they may have reached a maximum population.
There were presentations on the impact of otters on river and stillwater fisheries and on trout farms which demonstrated significant losses in some parts of the country. However, there were many healthy fisheries in places where otters were present in significant numbers. Environmental pressures on rivers such as pollution, over-abstraction, habitat damage and invasive species were heard to have a major impact on the recruitment of many fish populations and there was consensus that urgent action was needed to tackle these problems.
While more and more fisheries are being fenced due to funding from the Environment Agency's rod licence distributed by the Angling Trust, there is a huge demand for fencing and costs have increased in recent years. Many fisheries cannot be fenced and there is a need to explore the potential for other deterrents to predators at these fisheries. Many fisheries may have to adapt their fishery management and stock balance to reflect the rising numbers of otters.
David Bunt, Chairman of the IFM said: "It has been very positive to get the experts and representatives of angling and fisheries and otter science together to have a rational, informed and balanced debate. Healthy fish stocks and fishing are an indication of healthy environments and can co-exist with healthy otter populations. Where fish are concentrated they will be targeted by otters and, to protect those fisheries and businesses that rely on them, we will support non-harmful methods to deter otters from entering them".
The Angling Trust and IFM will produce a guide for angling clubs and fishery managers setting out the legal situation, correcting some of the misunderstandings around releases and captive bred otters and what can be done to protect fish stocks against otter predation.
The Angling Trust and IFM will request the statutory agencies to streamline the consent processes for permitting otter fencing on still waters and press for an increase in funding.
The Angling Trust will lobby the government for the long-term regulation of the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned otters and a Code of Conduct in the short-term.
The Angling Trust and IFM will press for clarification regarding scaring or disturbing an otter as a result of either protecting a legitimate business or installing in stream habitat enhancements.
All agreed that more action was needed to deal with the issues affecting recruitment of river fish: pollution, abstraction, habitat damage, barriers to fish migration. A more healthy fish population would be better placed to withstand the impacts of otter predation.
A great deal of common sense there, but I suspect the baying mob will remain unconvinced.
Sadly, the IFM, to my limited knowledge, has no jurisdiction nor the ability to help fisheries here in Wales. I hope that they press for representation or for a Welsh off-shoot to help us Welsh Fisheries!

[Identification of item], in the Fred Field Goodsell papers, MS 0881. The Congregational Library and Archive, Boston, MA.
Fred Field Goodsell was born in Montevedeo, Minnesota on September 21, 1880, a son of pioneer missionaries. He was educated at Harford Seminary Goodsell spent 25 (1905-1930) years posted at three Turkish missions: Western, Central, and Eastern. Under his leadership, these three posts were reorganized as the Near East Mission in 1925. At that time, he was given the title Field Secretary.
In 1930, he moved to Boston where he was made the first Executive Vice-President of the ABCFM. After his retirement in 1948 as Executive, he lectured at Boston University throughout the 1950s and then at LaSell Junior College in Auburndale, Massachusetts. Dr. Goodsell died in Newton on August 13, 1976.
This collection was stored in Dr. Goodsell's former office for about three decades before it was added to the Congregational Library. He had several dozen filing volumes organized alphabetically by subject. A large number of the subject files were secondary sources on mission work and were added individually to the library collection. Given the nature of the collection, there is very little sub-division. The folder names reflect the original box labels. The first six boxes contain correspondence, reports, and some secondary pamphlets that related specifically to either report or letters. The last two boxes are manuscripts by Goodsell. Both sections are in alphabetical order. The highest concentration of dates are in the 1930s and 40s. There is significantly less in the '60s and '70s.

In a game filled with bashing and brawling, being the biggest, strongest and fastest is critical on the gridiron. Those attributes however, don't concern the 215-pound, 6-foot-4-inch Stanley Lambert. For the freshman linebacker, it's what is above the shoulders he knows he needs to strengthen.
"I'm going to grow a lot mentally and physically," Lambert said. "Right now, I'm strong enough physically. But mentally sometimes whenever I start to mess up, I breakdown a little bit. I'm just learning how to brush that off."
Every practice this far in the fall, the group of linebackers used for the first and second team have constantly rotated. Lambert knows this and is doing everything possible in attempt to earn that playing time.
"I think that he's asserting himself the right way," linebackers coach Antonio Pierce said. "Taking initiative going out here early. Working on his craft. Asking questions. Getting into the film room early. All those little things add up. Again, here's a guy that's only into his fifth practice in the college atmosphere and I think he's okay."
Another thing you'll see out of Lambert in practice is at the very beginning of the day, on the far side field of the Bill Kajikawa practice fields, is him shadowing another linebacker. Pierce and defensive line coach Shaun Nua work with the front six of the 3-3-5 defense every day, going over different shifts and formations.
And each time you'll see number 17 in a white jersey behind fellow freshman linebacker Merlin Robertson, senior Jay Jay Wilson or redshirt freshman Kyle Soelle at the outside linebacker position. The early walkthroughs may not seem that big, but for Lambert they are.

"It's usually plays I didn't get when I was here in the spring. But now that I'm shadowing, it's coming a lot more to me now," he said. "I'm starting to get most of my plays right. That's going to help me when I get my playing time, which I will get this year. I'll be ready for it."
Pierce is also happy with the young man shadowing his peers.
"That's what you need to do. You're not going to get a lot of reps; mental reps are the most important thing," he said. "There's only so many reps on the script and most of the time the threes aren't included in it. For him that's smart. That's what I tell all my backers, there's only so much time in the day and so many reps a day you can get. The more you can get mentally and hope to translate it out there physically."
On top of football, he played basketball and track at John Marshall High School. Being that three-sport athlete back in San Antonio, Texas showcases the athletic ability Lambert possesses. That skill is why he has gotten a handful of reps with the first and second team during 11-on-11s over the past week.
Plays such as forcing a fumble toward the goal line against running back Eno Benjamin is one example of the potential Pierce and coaches see. Lambert's current forte isn't run stuffing or dropping into coverage though. His best strength right now is his speed off the edge. Once he turns the corner on an offensive tackle, the special bend you'll see from elite pass rushers such as Denver Broncos' Von Miller appears. From that, is why Pierce describes Lambert's natural talent as an item you can't coach into someone.
When asked what he wanted the most out of fall camp, Lambert didn't say more time with the first or the second team. He didn't say more outstanding plays. He just went back to the mind.
"More mental reps. I want to get ready – I'm not ready in my freshman year, I know as a freshman we're going to be learning stuff. But I know I'm going to play. I just need more mental reps, so I know I'll be ready for my sophomore year and have a blowout year. That's what I'm really looking forward to."
Keeping a clear head hasn't just been a learning process on the football field. With any college freshman moving into a different state, Lambert, the momma's boy he described himself as, has struggled with missing his mom. However, a quick phone call to hear her voice brightens up his day. Which helps him with his thought process on the field.
Pierce and his teammate Soelle have been a big help to the non-physical part of the game as well. Soelle watches film with Lambert to point out corrections he needs to make. While Pierce is just honest to him about what is going on.
"Coach Pierce he's a crazy dude, but he tells you what's up. And that's what I really like about him," Lambert said. "He's going to be blunt with you, tell you straight up if you're messing up or did good. He's just a real coach and that's what I like."
With the tools he already has Lambert will contribute here and there for the Sun Devils. Along with the help of a coaching staff and valuable teammate insight he knows he can be more than just a part-time contributor. He knows if he can gain more control of the most complex organ of the human body, all of his capabilities can be unlocked. For Stanley Lambert to become the best football player he can be, it's simply mind over matter.

If you have a business such as a corporation, LLC, sole proprietorship, etc., you have to ask yourself whether or not you want to assign your interest in that business to your trust. The fundamental questions are: "Is this business part of my trust estate or not? Will it be subject to the rules of the trust? Will my trustee be in charge of this business?" If the answers are "Yes," then you need to assign your business interest to the living trust. By doing so, you make it clear your business is indeed part of your living trust.
I once had a client who owned a business with his partner. There were no decent legal documents but they had a "handshake deal." They owned a piece of land in Los Angeles. A junk yard company used the land and leased the property from my client and his partner. The monthly rent for the property was $8000. My client and his partner took $4000 each as rental income. I asked my client, "What happens when you die? Who gets that $4000 a month?" He said, "Well, I want my family to continue getting the $4000/month." I explained that if he assigns his business to the trust, then the trust can continue receiving the income after he dies. We also got his business partner to sign the assignment so there is less chance of any challenge to the plan. Before implementing this change, the future of his business holding was very uncertain.
If you own a business, consider assigning your interest in the business to your living trust. The more "clear" your legal documents are, the less likely there will be confusion or misunderstandings in the future.

Uncovering the hidden side of storms - France's Taranis satellite to launch in november
Astronomy/Space Science | Physics
Illustration of the TARANIS © CNES/ill./SATTLER Oliver, 2012
Sprites, elves, jets... few people know that scientists habitually use such other-worldly words to describe transient luminous events or TLEs, light flashes that occur during active storms just a few tens of kilometres over our heads. Few people also know that storms can act as particle accelerators generating very brief bursts of X-rays and gamma rays. But what are the physical processes and mechanisms behind these phenomena discovered barely 30 years ago? Do they impact the physics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere, the environment or even humans? Such are the questions facing the French Taranis satellite that will be riding aloft during the night of 16 to 17 November atop a Vega launcher from the Guiana Space Centre, an all-French mission involving research scientists from CNES, the national scientific research centre CNRS, the atomic energy and alternative energies commission CEA and several French universities.
TLEs and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are seen all over the world where storms occur. But because we don't know enough about them, they don't feature in the toolbox of climatologists and meteorologists. Are they implicated in the increasing number of extreme weather events? If so, they could be modelled and factored into forecasts in real time. Although Taranis is first and foremost a fundamental research satellite, the data it is set to deliver on Earth's thermal and climate mechanisms could serve more operational applications like climatology and weather forecasting.
Elves, sprites, sprite halos, blue jets and even pixies or gnomes are just some of the whimsical names given to the range of phenomena in the generic family of TLEs-a poetic lexicon that contrasts sharply with their violence. These ephemeral upper-atmosphere events occur between the tops of storm clouds and an altitude of 90 kilometres. First predicted as early as 1920, their existence was not confirmed until the nineties. They have since been recorded by numerous ground and space observations. Elves take the form of an expanding glow of light, appearing at an altitude of 90 kilometres and lasting no more than one millisecond; an active storm may produce thousands of them in the space of a few hours. Occurring between 40 and 90 kilometres above Earth's surface, sprites have a complex structure of branches and tendrils and can last for up to 10 milliseconds. Blue jets appear at the top of storm clouds and propagate to altitudes of up to 50 kilometres. Occasionally, 'gigantic' jets may propagate up to 90 kilometres.
TGFs were first observed scientifically in 1994 by the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), a NASA spacecraft deployed from the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis. In certain conditions, storms generate a very short burst of gamma photons. TGFs were for a time considered a rare occurrence accompanying sprites; we now know they are generated by electric activity in clouds. For lack of the right instruments, the Italian AGILE satellite (2007) and U.S. Fermi space telescope (2008) were unable to fully confirm current hypotheses on the mechanisms that generate them or estimate their number. Taranis will therefore bring new insights into how they are generated and their radiation impact, which has never been measured before.
In France, the atomic energy agency CEA first turned its attention to these transient events and their impact in 1993. On 9 December 2010, the project got the official go-ahead from CNES's Board of Directors. Taranis is an all-French mission with science goals set by French research laboratories. In addition to CEA, CNRS is closely involved through several of its affiliated research laboratories 1 : the LPC2E environmental and space physics and chemistry laboratory is coordinating development of the science payload, is responsible for the science mission centre and is contributing instruments; the IRAP astrophysics and planetology research institute, the LATMOS atmospheres, environments and space observations laboratory and the APC astroparticles and cosmology laboratory are contributing to the payload. Other instruments on Taranis include outside contributions from Stanford University and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in the United States, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) and Charles University in the Czech Republic and the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CBK). CNES is funding the programme to the tune of ¤110 million.
Taranis looks somewhat different, as in place of the aluminized or gold-plated Mylar insulation traditionally used on satellites it is coated with a special black and white paint. This is not just attention to aesthetic detail, the purpose of the paint being to avoid interfering with the surrounding electric field and prevent reflected light disrupting the optical sensors. A less visible but key feature is the original design of its payload, comprising eight instruments operated as a single unit thanks to MEXIC, the brain of Taranis that powers and synchronizes the instruments and manages the payload, executes the trigger strategy to capture an event and even handles the transfer of selected data to mass memory
Taranis' payload close up:
XGRE: three X-ray and gamma-ray detectors for measuring high-energy photons (50 keV to 10 MeV) and relativistic electrons (1 MeV to 10 MeV) - APC/IRAP/CNES
MCP (MC-U and PH-U) : two cameras (10 images per second) and four photometers to measure luminance in different spectral bands - CEA/CNES
IDEE: two high-energy electron detectors (70 keV to 4 MeV) - IRAP/Charles University
IMM: three-axis magnetometer to measure the alternating magnetic field (5Hz to 1 MHz) - LPC2E/Stanford University
IME-HF: HF antenna for measuring the high-frequency electric field (100 kHz to 35 MHz) - LPC2E/IAP
IME-BF: instrument for measuring the low-frequency electric field (DC to 1 MHz) - LATMOS
SI: ion probe to determine thermal plasma fluctuations - GSFC/LATMOS
MEXIC: two electronic units comprising eight analysers, each connected to an instrument. It powers each instrument, handles payload modes and interfaces with mass memory and the onboard computer. MEXIC will also be tasked with synchronizing the instruments when events are detected (TLEs by MCP's photometers, TGFs by XGRE, electron beams by IDEE, wave bursts by IME-HF) - LPC2E/CBK
For two to four years, Taranis will scan regions of the sky where storm activity is intense and the probability of seeing TLEs and/or TGFs high. While it may be a national programme, its results are eagerly awaited by the wider international scientific community. In atmospheric chemistry and physics, environmental science, climatology, high-energy astrophysics and many more fields besides, Taranis is set to reveal new insights-and science efforts won't end there, as the mission will undoubtedly pave the way for future investigations.

This latest move is one of many recent efforts by both the Trump administration and the GOP to target Black immigrants.
The last extension of protected status for Haitian immigrants in the United States is set to expire July 22.
The Trump administration could resume deporting Haitian immigrants in January, a move made possible by the Obama administration.
In a letter obtained by USA Today, James McCament, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), wrote that conditions in Haiti have improved enough to end Haitian immigrants' temporary protected status (TPS). Advocates argue otherwise.
Haitian migrants were first given the protected status in 2010 by the Obama administration after one of the region's most destructive earthquakes affected an estimated 3 million people and killed more than 200,000. Hurricane Matthew last year decimated the southern region of the nation and killed 1,000 people, halting reconstruction work ongoing after the earthquake. A continuing cholera outbreak has claimed the lives of 10,000 people.
In the spring of 2015, Haitian migrants who went to Brazil in search of work began streaming north to the United States border crossings that lead to Southern California, the New York Times reported. With temporary protection from the Obama administration, extended several times, nearly all were able to enter the United States "because immigration officials were prohibited, under the modified deportation policy, from using the so-called fast-track removal process often employed at the border for new, undocumented arrivals," according to the New York Times.
The migrants were placed in slower deportation proceedings and released with appointments to appear in immigration court. Most of these Haitian migrants were given permission to remain in the country for as long as three years under a humanitarian parole provision. These are the people the Trump administration is seeking to deport.
President Obama in September ordered immigration officials to resume deportations of undocumented Haitian immigrants, meaning any Haitian migrants who arrived at the border without visas were immediately placed in expedited removal proceedings. This has continued under Trump. In November, the Obama administration quietly deported 200 Haitian immigrants and an estimated 4,400 Haitians were in detention during the same time.
More than 4,000 Somalian immigrants were marked for deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while the federal agency detained an estimated 388 Somali nationals in recent weeks, according to news reports. In January "100 Somalis were removed on the same plane—half the number that was deported in the entire 2016 fiscal year," America's Voice reported.
A final decision on the fate of the 50,000 Haitian immigrants in the United States because of TPS will eventually be made by Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.
Members of Congress wrote Kelly last month requesting that he extend TPS "for Haitian nationals who are currently living in, and contributing to, our great country." Organizations such as the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS) have also urged Kelly to extend TPS for Haitian nationals.
"Having just returned from a delegation to the country, I can safely say that the crisis in Haiti, and the need for TPS, has not abated. In many respects, it has only deepened," Christine Lin, CGRS senior staff attorney, said in a statement.

Story Review Storyline: Our Reviewer's Take
After reading stories of director Mark Romanek ('One Hour Photo') walking out during the production of 'The Wolfman,' I figured things were looking fairly bleak for this remake featuring the classic Universal monster. Not long after, the studio quickly replaced him with Joe Johnston, whose previous work on family fare features such as 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,' 'Jumanji,' and 'The Rocketeer' made him an odd choice. Then, as was the case with Romanek's involvement, studio interference led to several re-shoots and much re-editing, which also pushed the release schedule from Fall 2008, to 2009, before the film finally emerged in the light of the full moon in early 2010. Things apparently got much bleaker.
After learning of his brother's sudden disappearance, Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) returns to his childhood home in Blackmoor. At his family's funereal estate, he reunites with his distant father Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins), who tells him that Ben's body was found earlier, and meets his brother's mourning fiancée Gwen (Emily Blunt). After seeing his brother's mutilated body, Lawrence travels to a gypsy camp, and there he encounters a wild beast which bites him on the shoulder. As he recovers from the attack, Inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) arrives to investigate the Talbot murder. What he discovers is more than he bargained for, while Lawrence is forced to confront his past and the origins of his mental turmoil.
'The Wolfman' is a dark and brooding take on a horror classic, one that contains a great deal of beauty and potential, but which suffers from a script with too much going on. The filmmakers have admitted to adding more plot elements to the original story, but it doesn't pay off very well. The strained relationship between Lawrence and his father is more of a burden to watch than enjoy, and his romance with Gwen also drags on like typical middle-school drama. Granted, this is similar to George Waggner's 1941 film, but here, the pedestrian and somewhat flat pace makes these relationships rather tiresome. I'm not convinced Johnston really has the chops for this sort of material.
Even more surprising is a cast of excellent actors that fails to bring any life to this dreary and wearisome remake. While Weaving runs around lost in what he's suppose to do as a confident Scotland Yard inspector, Blunt spends more time looking scared and acting the part of the fragile love interest than portraying a woman doomed to care for the wrong type of men. Just uttering the name Anthony Hopkins seems to give any production a semblance of respectability and seriousness, a movie that just might be worth watching, but as the neglectful father of a werewolf, he's uninteresting and forgettable. Sadly, even Del Toro sulks and mopes around the gloomy mansion like Droopy instead of a man struggling with his inner canine.
The other aspects of the production are the real highlight here and maintain most of the film's appeal. It's clear Johnston wanted to do more than a simple update to a favorite Lon Chaney, Jr. character. With legendary make-up artist Rick Baker retaining much of the original look of the creature, 'The Wolfman' doesn't stray too far from its source. But with the dark and sumptuous cinematography of Shelly Johnson, the movie aspires to be a moody and grim revision of a Hollywood classic. It is also much bloodier and more violent than its inspiration, which is another aspect I liked, although this doesn't do much to improve the film's overall enjoyment. These few positives actually keep 'The Wolfman' standing on its own two hind legs.
In the end, however, the script and direction are too much of a mess to really make this latest horror remake very entertaining. Even the editing expertise of Walter Murch and Dennis Virkler can't seem to salvage a good film from the confusion. And the 17 minutes of added footage doesn't offer much help either - it only makes the movie drag on longer. 'The Wolfman' may not be altogether an awful movie, but in terms of the werewolf genre, 'Teen Wolf' offers more bite. This is just another case where studios should leave the classics (and directors) alone.
The Blu-ray: Vital Disc Stats
'The Wolfman' howls onto Blu-ray courtesy of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Housed in a two-disc keepcase and attractive slipcover, the Region A, BD-50 disc contains both the Theatrical version and the Unrated Director's Cut of the film. The difference between them is surprisingly significant as the director's alternate vision adds 17 minutes to the narrative. Most of these changes arrive early on, with extended dialogue footage and some deleted scenes which actually benefit the film's storyline, like a cameo conversation with Max Van Sydow. The second disc is a Digital Copy of the movie.
At startup, viewers are greeted by randomly selected but skippable trailers thanks to the studio's BD-Live connectivity. Once at the main menu, we find the standard selection of options, plus Universal's commercial-infested News Ticker playing over the full motion captures.

Deleted & Extended Scenes
Joe Johnston's darker vision of the classic Universal monster debuts with a highly stylized video presentation that's often stunning and lovely, only not as consistent as it probably should be for a newer release. 'The Wolfman' is frequently set at night, with many gloomy indoor scenes, and the 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer (1.85:1) handles it pretty well for the most part. Black levels are deep and profound with London sequences making the strongest impression. However, there are many instances when the picture suddenly loses some of that luster and shadows tend to obscure much of the background details. In fact, almost all poorly-lit interiors display a great deal of murkiness and crush. But it's possible this is a deliberate effect in the photography as it does add to the dark atmosphere of the narrative. A few very minor scenes are also noticeably dull and oddly out of focus.
On a more positive note and the real highlight of the video, the rest of the presentation comes with spot-on contrast, providing the encode with excellent visibility in the few daylight scenes scattered about. Shelly Johnson's cinematography, which is a blend of dreary overcast with an antiquated finish and a slightly soft focus, is gorgeous in high-def and contains several moments of remarkable reference quality sequences, especially in brightly-lit exteriors. The color palette is heavily subdued in keeping with the intentional look, but it's rendered accurately with good variation in the hues. The image also exhibits terrific definition in various stone and wood architecture, strong distinct lines in foliage, and dazzling, lifelike textures in facial complexions.
Ignoring some of the issues mentioned above, this Blu-ray presentation of 'The Wolfman' offers a striking and beautiful picture quality.
Following closely behind is a very good DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack which really comes to life towards the end of the movie with a couple of near-reference fight sequences. Dynamics and interior acoustics are expansive and cleanly delivered, displaying wide imaging that reaches far into the back of the room. The voices of characters and light sounds echo and bleed into the surround speakers with convincing movement, subtly enveloping the listener. Even Danny Elflman's gothic score fills the entire soundscape terrifically to keep viewers involved. Separation between the channels is very smooth and attractive, allowing for an evenly spread-out and spacious soundstage. Low-frequency bass is weighty and powerfully responsive, adding a really heavy punch to the action and gunfire.
Unfortunately, there are some issues with the lossless mix worth mentioning because they ruin the sound design's enjoyment somewhat. Dialogue reproduction is often very difficult to make out and so low that it's enough of a distraction to raise the volume in the center channel. For a good chunk of the movie's runtime, rear activity is fairly silent except for Elfman's score and practically devoid of ambience during outdoor scenes, making it seem as if all wildlife were missing from Blackmoor. But the moment there is a sudden burst of action, the entire system erupts with loud, high-pitched noise. While the mid-range appears to handle these sudden jumps in frequency, the abrupt shift in the overall volume is exactly that - just a bunch of loud noise with only some clarity. Whether intentional or not, the change is agitating and rather unpleasant at times. If not for these small personal objections, the track is a vigorous, near-reference presentation, sure to please fans immensely.
No matter my opinion concerning the movie, I have to admit Universal Studios Home Entertainment did one heck of a job on the supplemental package. There is only one bonus feature shared between the formats. Almost everything is exclusive to the Blu-ray.
Deleted & Extended Scenes (HD, 11 min) - This collection of five scenes which never made it to the final cut are surprisingly good. While most are meant to add some character development, the highlight of the set is the extended sequence of Talbot in wolf form running wild through the streets of London.
'The Wolfman' offers a darker and bleaker reimagining of the classic movie monster. Given the great cast involved and the familiar title, I had high hopes for Joe Johnston's revisionist take of the classic Universal monster. Unfortunately, I walked away somewhat disappointed and slightly bored. It's not an altogether awful film, thanks mostly to the beautiful cinematography, the production design, and Rick Baker's amazing make-up work, but this remake isn't all that good either. The special Director's Cut release adds 17 minutes to the story, and the disc arrives with an excellent audio/video presentation that fans will love. This Blu-ray edition also comes with a supplemental package that's almost entirely exclusive to the format, making this high-def disc the only way to truly enjoy the movie.

Moffett Automated Storage opens new Head Office – Plans to create 30 new jobs
The rapid global expansion of Irish warehousing innovators Moffett Automated Storage has led to the announcement of 30 new specialist roles at the company at the recently completed new head office facility in Monaghan. Thanks to a growing client list now spanning 10 countries, the company now plans to bring its automated warehouse hardware to even more customers. Their pacesetting pallet storage and retrieval system is controlled by proprietary software also developed in-house by the Moffett team.
The business is the brainchild of Sam Moffett and has achieved its success in just five years from launch. Sam Moffett is the son of renowned engineer Robert Moffett, who founded the international Irish-headquartered forklift brand Combilift.
Moffett Automated Storage MD Sam Moffett explained that his business has gained a global reputation very quickly thanks to its proprietary approach to a growing problem for warehousing: "Along with the system to move, track and organise pallets, we developed software to help solve many of the problems faced by companies who have a need to store and access palletised stock fast.
"The system, by design, delivers superb density of storage, savings on energy, labour cost reductions plus significant benefits around the safety of operatives and stock. With the need for storage and logistics services on the rise and limited warehousing space available, companies need a new solution and we've been excited to help our customers deal with this challenge."
Sam Moffett added that he is "very confident about the future" as his company has "used a growth mindset from day one" and paid tribute to his specialist team: "The success of the business during the past five years has given me confidence to invest in the growth of Moffett Automated Storage . A huge factor of our success has been the work of an expert team supporting projects around the world using skilled, specialist know-how."
Moffett Automated Storage typically has over 8-12 live projects in four different countries around the world, each ranging from storage of 5,000 pallets to 15,000 pallets. The system has no limitations on height of the warehouse allowing company use their footprint to the maximum.
All Moffett Automated Storage solutions are linked to warehouse management software allowing organisation of pallets to be automated. Items for dispatch are waiting by the door exactly when they're needed, meaning a substantial efficiency upgrade for clients.
Recruitment for the roles will be begin in quarter 4 while the new Moffett Automated Storage offices in Clontibret were officially opened on 17th August 2022.
Tom Kelly of Enterprise Ireland said: "Enterprise Ireland welcomes this significant expansion by Moffett Automated Storage. The company is one of our High Potential Start-Ups, which means that from its earliest days Enterprise Ireland saw the global potential of the business idea backed Sam and his team with a range of supports. It's great to see this important announcement today, and to know the impact it will have in Monaghan and throughout the region. We look forward to working with Sam and his expanded team in the future to support Moffett Automated Storage ambitions plans to compete and win in global markets."

Only the Victorian government has put its investment on the table and The Australian can reveal it will offer $61.7 million over four years as part of its ongoing commitment to the life of the next three-year National Partnership Agreement on Closing the Gap.
Western Australia has announced $31m to extend funding for 12 months only – an interim measure because of pressure from local Aboriginal health organisations concerned about uncertainty over funding translating to job losses.
The Gillard government has revealed it will spend more than $700m over three years on a new partnership agreement but no states or territories have signed on.
Mr Snowdon wrote to them several weeks ago urging them to reaffirm their support for tackling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander disadvantage by signing up.
The National Partnership Agreement on Closing the Gap in Indigenous Health Outcomes, first signed in 2008 between the commonwealth and all states and territories, invested $1.57 billion over four years. But the NPA expires on June 30 and negotiations to re-sign have still not been resolved days before the new partnership is supposed to begin.
Mr Snowdon told The Australian the delay was deeply concerning. "We can't afford to delay renewing this agreement with the states and territories," he said.
"We have seen some steady improvements in a number of areas, like reducing child mortality rates and reducing the occurrence of the blindness causing eye disease trachoma.
"We will only continue seeing health outcomes improve if we work together with good programs on the ground that are backed up by solid investment across the board.
"I am especially concerned by the NT government, which has been silent on its future investment. The Northern Territory CLP government has already imposed cuts to the community controlled sector. The Territory's most recent budget identifies that their investment in primary healthcare is insufficient to meet projected population growth."
The federal government will continue programs funded through the NPA and expects the states and territories to do the same while negotiations continue.
WA Health Minister Kim Hames said the Closing the Gap funding had created 98 new programs and 317 jobs across government, non-government and the Aboriginal community to deliver vital services. "Closing the Gap aims to improve the life expectancy of Aboriginal West Australians and, while much has been achieved so far, there is still much more work to be done," Dr Hames said. "The $31m the WA government has committed to today is for 2013-14 and will enable us to continue to deliver these critical services over the next year, which gives job security to those workers engaged in the delivery of these services."
Dr Hames said the allocation of $31m demonstrates "our very strong commitment to the Closing the Gap program" and improving indigenous health.
"While it is very likely we will sign a new agreement, it is not possible to commit to this at this stage, given we have not yet seen a final proposed agreement."

Journal: International Journal for Equity in Health
The study has been developed by researchers based at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and the University of Adelaide, in partnership with the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia Inc.
Background: Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are between two to five times more likely to die in childbirth than non-Aboriginal women, and two to three times more likely to have a low birthweight infant.
Babies with a low birthweight are more likely to have chronic health problems in adult life.
Currently, there is limited research evidence regarding effective interventions to inform new initiatives to strengthen antenatal care for Aboriginal families.
Method/Design:
The Aboriginal Families Study is a cross sectional population-based study investigating the views and experiences of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women having an Aboriginal baby in the state of South Australia over a 2-year period.
The primary aims are to compare the experiences and views of women attending standard models of antenatal care with those accessing care via Aboriginal Family Birthing Program services which include Aboriginal Maternal Infant Care (AMIC) Workers as members of the clinical team; to assess factors associated with early and continuing engagement with antenatal care; and to use the information to inform strengthening of services for Aboriginal families.
Women living in urban, regional and remote areas of South Australia have been invited to take part in the study by completing a structured interview or, if preferred, a self-administered questionnaire, when their baby is between 4–12 months old.
Discussion: Having a baby is an important life event in all families and in all cultures. How supported women feel during pregnancy, how women and families are welcomed by services, how safe they feel coming in to hospitals to give birth, and what happens to families during a hospital stay and in the early months after the birth of a new baby are important social determinants of maternal, newborn and child health outcomes.
The Aboriginal Families Study builds on consultation with Aboriginal communities across South Australia. The project has been implemented with guidance from an Aboriginal Advisory Group keeping community and policy goals in mind right from the start. The results of the study will provide a unique resource to inform quality improvement and strengthening of services for Aboriginal families.
Keywords: Antenatal care, Health inequalities, Indigenous health, Maternal health, Participatory research, Perinatal health outcomes.
Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are between two to five times more likely to die in childbirth than non-Indigenous women, and two to three times more likely to have a low birthweight infant [1].
Babies with a low birth weight are more likely to die in infancy [2], more likely to be admitted to neonatal intensive care [3], and may be more likely to have serious health problems (e.g. cardiovascular disease, diabetes) in adult life [4]. Recent data suggest that in some Australian states, including South Australia, the proportion of low birth weight babies born to Aboriginal mothers may be increasing [5,6].
The Australian Government has set agreed targets for closing the gap in Indigenous disadvantage outlined by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in the National Indigenous Reform Agenda [7].
Under the terms of this agreement, federal, state and territory governments have committed to closing the gap in life expectancy between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians within a generation, and halving the gap in mortality rates for Aboriginal children under five within a decade.
Key performance indicators for the National Indigenous Reform Agenda include: an increase in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers receiving antenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy (≤13 weeks' gestation) and in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers attending five or more antenatal visits; and a reduction in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants with a low birthweight (<2,500 grams).
New funding made available under the COAG National Partnership Agreement on Indigenous Early Childhood Development has facilitated a range of new programs and initiatives to strengthen antenatal care and child and maternal health services for Aboriginal families in all Australian states and territories [8].
Currently there is a dearth of research evidence regarding effective intervention strategies to inform these initiatives [9-12].
Most of the available evidence comes from small-scale local evaluation studies, predominantly undertaken in regional and remote locations [13-20]. The roll out of COAG funding under the National Partnership Agreement has in effect created an Australia wide 'natural experiment' in seeking to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children. It is vital that lessons learned fromthe range of programs being developed and implemented with COAG funding are captured by concurrent evaluation at a state and territory level.
However, there is still no complete national perinatal data for Aboriginal mothers and babies. State and territory based perinatal data collections vary in their capacity to ascertain Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status of mothers and infants, and steps have only recently been taken to include information regarding status of the infant in the minimum data set for most state jurisdictions [21].
This paper describes the development of a statewide study in South Australia that aims to invite approximately 300 women giving birth to an Aboriginal baby to talk about their experiences of using services during pregnancy, labour and birth, and the first 4–12 months after having a baby.
The study has been developed by researchers based at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and the University of Adelaide, in partnership with the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia Inc. (AHCSA). The project arose in the context of planning for a population-based postal survey of recent mothers in South Australia and Victoria.
In 2006, the researchers planning this survey approached the AHCSA about working in partnership on a project to provide avenues for Aboriginal women's voices to be included in the research. At our initial meeting we discussed the idea of seeking funding to facilitate consultations with Aboriginal community organisations and communities in South Australia as a way to seek input into development of the research. The Aboriginal Families Study is the name given to the project that grew out of these discussions. South Australia where the project is based is one of six Australian states, and covers a geographic area four times the size of the UK.
Often when researchers approach Aboriginal community organisations and/or communities, they already havea fairly well developed research question and study protocol in mind. We did not. This paper charts the social history of the project, and outlines the steps we took to get from our initial discussions in 2006 to the stage of developing the study protocol, governance arrangements, and procedures for carrying out the study.
These include: obtaining 'in principle' support from the Board of Management of the AHCSA for the conduct of consultations with Aboriginal communities about the project; development of a project agreement between MCRI and the AHCSA; establishment of an Aboriginal Advisory Group to guide the consultations, and subsequently, the development of the study protocol, and conduct of the research; statewide consultations with Aboriginal communities, policy makers and service providers preceding development of the study design and methods; a lengthy pilot study phase that tested different versions of the study questionnaire and recruitment procedures; obtaining ethics approval from a variety of institutional ethics committees; development of a Research Agreement covering governance arrangements for the research phase of the study signed by all partner organisations and study investigators; appointment and training of the fieldwork team; through to recruitment and interviewing of women in urban, regional and remote areas of South Australia.

Time evolution of surface relief structures in thin block copolymer films

The dynamics of early stage of terrace formation in thin supported films of cylinder forming triblock copolymers was studied both theoretically using self-consistent-field theory (DSCFT) and experimentally by insitu scanning force microscopy (SFM). In experiment, an initially flat film of incommensurable thickness was imaged continuously, and the evolution of a vertical orientation of cylinders into a parallel one as well as the respective development of thickness gradient (terrace formation) was captured in detail. On the grounds of these experimental observations, the parameters of the computational model A3B12A3 were determined to match the structures in experiment. Both systems show excellent agreement in details of structural phase transitions and in the dynamics of the step development, suggesting that the underlying transport mechanisms are governed by diffusion. The early stage of terrace formation is characterized by the development of the step height up to 80 of its equilibrium value and associated reorientation of cylindrical domains. © 2007 American Chemical Society.

WATCH: Malia Obama rocks in indie band's 'Walking on Air' music video
September 30, 2018 Staff Reporter Entertainment 0
Malia Obama has dabbled in entertainment again. America's former first daughter rocks out while lip syncing in a new music video for a Boston-based band New Dakotas.
Wearing a black beanie and an over-sized jersey, "playing" a harmonica and bopping around, Malia jams to "Walking on Air," which was released on 20 September. Malia . who is a second-year sophomore, attends Harvard University with the four band members.
New Dakota's is not a well-known band, with only a few thousand streams on Spotify, reports BBC.
Malia has been entertainment-world oriented for some time, despite attempting to stay out of its spotlight.
According to reports, the 20-year-old previously worked as a production assistant for Halle Berry's sci-fi drama "Extant," and she interned for now-disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein's company soon after her father left office. She spent her gap year after high school working as an intern on intern on HBO's "Girls".
"Walking on Air", however, is Malia's music video debut.

Tank Destroyer 2 Walkthrough
Tank Destroyer 2 is a hectic action game, one where you're supposed to kill every turret and enemy tank before you can move on to the next level. To do this, you'll be given a tank and a soldier - you can exit the tank and fight on your own, but you'll die really quickly, so it's best to stay in the tank. After completing enough missions, you'll unlock new weapons and vehicles to mow your enemies down with, so if you're playing mission mode, it's worthwhile.
To those who have never played a tank game before, Tank Destroyer 2 should be your first, and with good reason. It's the sequel to the popular Tank Destroyer game, but it has tons more enemies, missions, and weapons to use. Don't play the original - stick with the sequel.
When you start playing Tank Destroyer 2, you'll be sent on your first mission. Your objective is simple enough: as said before, destroy every enemy tank and turret. While doing this, you'll come across enemy soldiers, but you're not required to kill all of them; they spawn repeatedly anyways. You can exit your vehicle at any time, maybe to maneuver around a certain obstacle, or to get a certain achievement unlocked by killing enemy soldiers while out of your tank, but it's really easy to get killed while you're outside of your tank - so don't do it!
If you ever have trouble controlling your vehicle, just look where the exhaust is coming from, and you'll get your bearings again. Driving a tank isn't the easiest thing in the world, but destroying enemy turrets and tanks in Tank Destroyer 2 is surprisingly enjoyable, and overall a challenging game. In between rounds, you'll be able to spend upgrade points on anything ranging from the speed of your tank to an optional shield that will help defend your vehicle.
When fighting turrets and tanks, too, make sure that you pick up as many bonuses as you can - they'll give you more health and missiles, so don't ignore them - every time you fight a turret, they can inflict quite a bit of damage, so try to maneuver out of their line of sight.

Xbox one is among the many eighth-generation video game consoles developed. X86 architecture which is a backward compatible instruction set architecture based on the Intel 8086 CPU and its Intel 8088 variant is used in making the Xbox one which is an all in one entertainment system. Xbox one controller has a redesigned body, D-pad, and triggers that can deliver directional haptic feedback. Cloud computing features and social networking features are more emphasized in its console. It can also record and share video clips and screenshots from gameplay or live stream. A new streamlined design model of an Xbox one is referred to as Xbox one S. an Xbox one S model is superior to an Xbox one model since it is smaller in size, has on screen-visual improvements and lacks external power supply.
Softwares in Xbox one include a smart match and game DVR. Keeping a record of all the recent game plays and allowing sharing via social networks is the role of game DVR while a smart match is a new matchmaking system. All games in xbox used one are fully installed to an internal unremovable hard drive. It is therefore easy as one doesn't require to hunt for a game disc whenever in need of playing a game but one has to pay a fee to install a game on another console.
Xbox one S offers the most storage space and it is possible to swap out the storage drives on the Play Station 4 console. Getting started to play games on Xbox one requires one to set up the Xbox One console. multiple users and controllers at the same time can work together when one connects his/her account to the Xbox One wireless controller. All the participants can, therefore, experience the best and achievement. Several games are played in Xbox one including paladins, warframe, Gwent, the world of tanks, smile, and gigantic. Check out this website at https://www.britannica.com/topic/Xbox-360 for more details about Xbox.
When purchasing Xbox one or an Xbox one S, one can have multiple choices be it the refurbished Xbox one and refurbished Xbox one S, used Xbox one and used Xbox one S and cheap Xbox one and Cheap Xbox one S. Purchasing an Xbox one S or Xbox one between a used and refurbished one would be better to go for a refurbished Xbox one or Xbox one S. Refurbished Xbox One and Xbox one S consoles go through quality assurance testing and they also have security in case anything happens within the stipulated period of time of like 1-2 years. If one trusts the seller of a used Xbox one or Xbox one X, then one can buy a used one although there risks a much more due to lack of warranty for the consoles. Shipping charges when trying to purchase a cheap Xbox one or cheap xbox one S away from one place of residence would increase the cost of purchasing it.

"Advertising Switzerland by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's Transcription Service (1946-1961)"
serval:BIB_155C8837EA82
Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television
Ruppen Coutaz Raphaëlle
Radio, especially with the development of shortwave programmes, has become an indispensable tool for the Swiss government to respond to criticisms made by the Allies about the country's ambiguous attitude during the Second World War. In reaction to the need for more communication in the post-war period, the Swiss government was able to continue to rely on the support of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SSR) and the establishment of the Transcription Service within it. The transcriptions refer to any radio programme recorded on disc or on tape that was intended to be broadcast by foreign stations. While maintaining formal and financial independence from the government, Swiss radio has nevertheless been its voice and its spokesperson. In this article, we will study the genesis of the Transcription Service, a new tool that strengthens the activities of the SSR in favour of the cultural outreach of Switzerland abroad in the post-war period. This paper examines more broadly the role of radio in Swiss cultural diplomacy and its impact in building a positive image of the country abroad. Analysing public service radio in order to understand international cultural relations is an original perspective.
