The seats in your car are subjected to a lot of use and abuse during the time that you own your car. If you do not take the necessary steps to protect them, over time they will start to show the wear and tear, making your whole car look shabby. You can stop this from happening and give your car a very personal touch by installing a set of seatcovers from Arizona Seat Covers.
When you browse our online catalog you will find that we carry an amazing selection of different seatcovers for almost every vehicle and any type of seat on the market. You can choose from a variety of colors, patterns and materials for your new seat covers. We offer universal fit as well as custom and full custom fit seat covers for you to choose from at a variety of prices to fit in with your budget.
One of the biggest problems with having a bench seat in your car or truck is the way that the backs of many of them are split. While this done to make them more convenient in cars and SUVs for carrying a load, it can make it very hard to find seat covers that actually fit them properly and look good once they are installed.
At Arizona Seat Covers we are well aware of the fact that some bench seats are split 50/50 while others are split 60/40 on the left or the right. Because of this we offer a complete line of full custom bench seat covers that are tailor made just for the vehicle you own. No more universal seat covers that never fully cover the back of the seat and then get snagged when you have to fold the seat down to carry that oversized load.
If you have just bought a new car or even a really nice used car, the first thing you should is install a set of custom seat covers. By taking the effort to protect your seats from the moment you buy your car, you are doing yourself a favor. In the life of the average car, the seats tend to take a major beating with wear and tear, not to mention spills all conspiring to make your seats look shabby.

Every time you take your kids to the beach it always seems like they make sure to get soaked just before it is time to go home. Consequently this means the seats in your car get more than their fair share of being soaked with salt water and covered in sand. This can be very hard on your seats and can easily be avoided by installing a set of neoprene seat covers.
Neoprene seat covers from Arizona Seat Covers are available in universal, custom and full custom fit for a large selection of the cars, vans, trucks and SUVs on the road today. The neoprene material allows the seats to breathe but at the same time keeps the water and dirt from penetrating through to your seats where it can ruin them and significantly affect the resale value of your car.
Will Replacement Auto Seat Covers Last?
One question that seems to come up frequently from our customs regarding our auto seat covers is how long they can expect them to last. While we offer a one year warranty against manufacturing defects including the seams and stitching, we can honestly say that as long as you install your new seat covers properly as outlined in the instructions, they will last for far longer.
In order to get the most life from your auto seat covers, you should plan to order our full custom fit sets. These covers from Arizona Seat Covers have been designed specifically to fit the seats in your particular car. They are full fabric all the way around the seat instead of including some stretch fabric such as you will find on the universal sets and fit your seats like a glove. The net result is a stronger seat cover that is going to last you for many years.
When you have kids and buy a new car, you can almost count on them to spill food and drink on your beautiful new seats within the first few days. After this, not only does your new car no longer look new, but it never will again. You can easily prevent this situation from happening as there are seat covers for cars that will protect the seats in your car from your kids.
Nothing makes the inside of a car look worse than having dirty and stained seats. Arizona Seat Covers for cars install in just a few minutes and will help keep your seats looking good for years. With our seat covers, once they get dirty you can remove them from your car and place them in your washing machine to clean them, allow them to air dry and then put them back in place for a fresh new look.
The average pickup truck sees a much harder life than a car. In many cases the owners of trucks use them for work rather than as a pleasure or family vehicle. This means that every part of the truck is going to be subject to far more wear and tear over a much shorter period of time. To help keep the interior looking good, heavy duty seat covers for trucks are available in a wide range of patterns and colors.
At Arizona Seat Covers we realize the need for extra strong seat covers for trucks and have created a selection just for these vehicles. One of the most popular selections is our range of saddle blanket seat covers. They are available in ten different colors and can be purchased to fit virtually any seat style including those awkward truck splits such as 60-40 and 50-50 to ensure you can protect your seats for many years to come.
The summer sun is merciless when it comes to the dash pad of your car. If you live in a state like Arizona, the sun will not only dry out the vinyl, it will eventually cause it to crack and fall apart. Not only does a cracked dash pad detract from the beauty of your car, it can kill the trade in or sale value and this is something that can be avoided by using one of our dash covers.
At Arizona Seat Covers we offer a complete line of dash covers to fit the majority of vehicles on the road today. When you combine one of our dash covers with a set of custom seat covers, you will be doing the best thing you can do to keep the interior of your car looking as good as the day you first drove it off the lot.
Who doesn't love the luxurious feel of real leather seat covers? Many top of the line car models come equipped with leather seats from the factory and while these can be absolutely beautiful and a pleasure to sit in, they are not particularly kid friendly. It is not that they are uncomfortable for kids to sit in; it is more that if your kids are like most, they tend to spill things and make a mess in the car.
Like any other type of seat covers leather does not do well with spills and stains, but leather is far more difficult and expensive to clean. On top of which if you allow the leather seat covers in your car to become stained and damaged, it can significantly affect the resale value of your car. The best way to protect the leather seats in your car is with a set of color coordinated cloth seat covers from Arizona Seat Covers.
When you first buy a new truck it looks beautiful, you marvel at the newness of it and enjoy the seats that are both comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Truck seat covers can help protect your truck from the damage of time and use keeping it in good condition.
Not only can truck seat covers keep your seats looking good but it can increase the resale value of your truck by keeping them in new condition.

If you like playing solo – there's no better option than the Hunter. Hunter is considered the most efficient solo-leveling class so you'll ding level 60 in no time. As a Hunter, you will be able to tame various beasts across the world and use them as your pets. Pets help you tank groups of mobs and enable you to tackle some of the group quests alone. However, their PvE power falls off in the end-game, but their PvP potential is enormous. Skilled Hunters are a pain to deal with since it's almost impossible to catch a masterful hunter.
Earning gold in World of Warcraft: Classic is all about optimizing your spendings. Back in the day, your character's skills were acquired from a trainer, using money. Don't just buy everything he or she offers! Read the skill descriptions and be mindful about them. Quite a few characters can live through the levelling process without learning some of their utility or damage spells. These won't go anywhere and you'll be able to learn them later on.
CLOSED BETA TEST & STRESS TESTS – Starting May 15, select WoW players will be invited to participate in a small-scale, focused closed beta test, helping ensure WoW Classic nails its goal of authenticity. Players will also get a chance to help put our servers and technology through the paces in a series of stress tests from May through July—opt in now at www.wowclassic.com!
Nov 15 I pay $12 for FFXIV. Why pay $15 for Classic? I copied this from a reply I made with slight edits, but I feel this should be brought up in a post. I'm mostly a FFXIV player nowadays. I used to play classic a lot and have only played modern WoW on and off because friends kept bugging me to come back... and then we would all quit a month or so in. I currently pay $12 for FFXIV because they have an option to pay 12 for having only 1 character per server. Paying $15 dollars for an old game that was already released is just too much. I don't like modern WoW at all. I don't like the changes they are making to 'their classic'. If I have to pay $15 dollars for a game I won't play and a modern Blizzard's take on classic WoW, then I'm not going to pay anything and go on private servers. I don't like private servers either because the people running it are often corrupt and you never know when the servers will be shut down, but I am also not willing to shell out $15 for something that isn't worth it. If I can pay $12 to play FFXIV which is a modern mmo that receives constant updates, I shouldn't have to pay $15 to play an old MMO that's already been released and is getting unnecessary changes.Destroynme111 Nov 15
Nov 15 NO CHANGES. Change it, we won't play. NO server cap above 2500 NO further restrictions towards addon APIs NO sharding NO increased/decreased XP rate NO loot trading NO CRZ NO phasing NO connected realms NO dynamic respawn NO LFD/LFR NO new models NO dual talents NO wow token NO character boost NO shop NO transmog NO achievement NO heirlooms NO arena NO bfa character customization NO esports NO rated BG NO raid re-tuning NO class re-balancing NO personal loot NO flying NO mythic keystone dungeon NO multiple difficulties NO aoe-looting NO Death Knight NO Monk NO Demon Hunter NO blood elf NO draenei NO playable worgen/goblin NO allied races NO pandas No anti-cheat that blocks wall climbing (I want to see mount hyjal) YES to CRBG in the final patch. NO to any other cross realm technology These changes are unacceptable. Sorry I am speaking the truth. BTW. NO "NO CHANGES, BUT ..."Castradys254	Nov 15
You can't go wrong with a mage. In fact, Mage was the most popular class in World of Warcraft: Classic due to their ability to farm with ease. Back in the day, the player majority even leveled mages as alts in order to gather gold quickly. In addition to their monstrous ranged DPS, mages also have tons of useful utility. As a mage, you'll be able to conjure food and water, place portals to the major cities, and even earn gold from doing so.
Kaivax, a WoW forum community manager, revealed that WoW Classic's class design, battleground mechanics and stats on existing items will be set to their 1.12 state, despite the game releasing content that expands beyond that. This removes "progressive itemization," so if the stats on a specific piece of equipment was changed during the original updates, that won't take effect in this version.
A demo of the game was available at BlizzCon 2018, and was downloadable on home computers for anyone who purchased a BlizzCon ticket or virtual ticket. The servers became available when Opening Ceremony started at BlizzCon 2018 and was set to end on November 8, but was extended until November 12.[4] Players started at level 15, and the only available zones were Westfall and the Barrens.[5] It was based on patch 1.13.0, essentially patch 1.12.0 ported to a modern infrastructure. The first day of the demo, there was a playtime limit of a cumulative 60 minutes with a cooldown of 90 minutes, applied through the BlizzCon Exhaustion debuff.[6] The debuff was removed on the second day of BlizzCon 2018.[7]

Honouring Tim Meadowcroft
It was a privilege to honour Tim Meadowcroft with this collection of essays on his retirement. The title of the book, Holding Forth the Word of Life, is from Phil 2:16 and is the Laidlaw College motto (forming part of our logo), and was also how Tim understood his teaching ministry.
Contributors to the volume, leading biblical scholars from New Zealand and abroad, along with friends and family members, gathered together in a Zoom meeting to present the book to Tim.
Leading the meeting, John de Jong shared that "this is a sign not only of the high esteem, but also the warm affection in which you are held by your colleagues and students."
Well done Tim! And as you said yourself, this is not the end! So, we look forward to the ongoing contributions you will undoubtedly continue to make.
One leading international Old Testament scholar had this to say about the book:
"Holding Forth the Word of Life beautifully celebrates the life and scholarly contribution of Tim Meadowcroft as he retires from full-time teaching. These thought-provoking and thoughtful essays are a testimony to Tim's influence on his contemporaries and his students. But beyond honoring a scholar who deserves such praise, these essays are worthy in and of themselves for their own contribution to scholarship. Congratulations Tim, and we all get to benefit from the work of those you have so encouraged over the years."
—Tremper Longman III, Distinguished Scholar and Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

"King" marks the return of the legendary Bronx MC Nine with the help of the Snowgoons. The 13 track album is a great reintroduction to Nine while solidifying the Snowgoons reputation as a respected production team. Guest vocals by Kool G Rap and Smoothe Da Hustler underline his status in the rap game, while collabos with Conway The Machine, Chris Rivers and Ruste Juxx prove Nine has no problem keeping up with hitters from the current generation either. Officially released September 9th on all digital platforms and CD, "King" is available now on vinyl, too. Vinyl collectors choose between black and marble grey LP`s each limited to 300 copies only, which are sold exclusively at GoonsGear.com (worldwide shipping).


The respiratory assemblies that carry out oxidative phosphorylation are located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The citric acid cycle is carried out in the matrix. The inner membrane is impermeable to nearly all ions and polar molecules. The respiratory assemblies carry out the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 (and the reduction of O2) which is coupled to the generation of a proton gradient across the inner membrane of the mitochondria. In other words, the free energy of oxidation of NADH by O2 is converted to the free energy of the proton gradient (which is combined free energy of diffusion, pH gradient, and electrostatic potential energy. The subsequent returning flow of protons into the matrix is itself coupled to phosphorylation. The proton gradient couples oxidation and phosphorylation.
Ultimately what is occurring through oxidative phosphorylation is that the electron transfer potential of NADH or FADHs is converted to the phosphate transfer potential of ATP. Electrons begin within chemical bonds in NADH (and FADHs), and by extension the original nutrient molecules because little energy change occurs upon their receipt in glycolysis, pyruvate decarboxylization, and the citric acid cycle by these electron carriers. These electrons will find themselves in the final state within new chemical bonds in which they have been captured by very electronegative oxygen which will have drawn them in close to its powerful nucleus with concomitant substantial decrease in electrostatic potential energy. The matter involved (nutrient molecules, NADH, O2) undergoes a free energy decrease which is coupled by the electron transport system to the establishment of the proton gradient across the inner membrane (a free energy increase). The release of protons through the inner membrane (free energy decrease) in turn is coupled with phosphorylation of ADP (free energy increase). The ATP formed can them be hydrolyzed (free energy decrease) coupled to myriad biochemical processes necessary for life.

SGA recognizes Pre-Law club
April 23, 2019 by EIC
Syeda Sameeha
With 13 votes in favor and five votes abstained, Pre-Law Club was recognized as an official organization by Student Government Association (SGA) at the April 18 SGA meeting.
Casey Delury, who presented the proposal for the club, explained that the organization would be another avenue for students interested in law.
"The pre-law adviser, Lisa Woods, and I felt that there wasn't really a club where pre-law students or political science students could go besides Mock Trial. Mock Trial is time-consuming, and it's awesome, but they focus mostly on trials," said Delury.
According to their Facebook page, Elmhurst College Mock Trial is a student group that meets several times a week and focuses on "trial advocacy, public speaking and competitive debate."
Delury also explained that the club would be open to campus, not just pre-law students.
"You can learn laws of society, learn your rights; there's so many things you can do with it, which is nice because it's not super specific to 'we are just practicing law'," she said. "If you don't want to be a lawyer and just want to know your rights, you can come here, and if you're not interested in trial at all, we do discussions and go to law school tours as well."
SGA senator for Student Affairs Daniela Barca inquired how Pre-Law Club would be different from the resources the Center of Professional Excellence (CPE) provides for pre-law students.
"I feel like it's more of being closer as a group versus individually going out and seeking those opportunities," replied Delury.
However, Delury's comparison of Pre-Law Club with Mock Trial remained a point of contention for some SGA members.
In the closed SGA discussion of the proposal, parliamentarian Alex Schultz, who is also a Mock Trial member, expressed concern about the group not collaborating with other resources on campus.
"I'm worried about the lack of knowledge of resources that are right here. The way Mock Trial has been explained, there's no knowledge of what Mock Trial is [and] how you get everything she talked about," said Schultz, in reference to similar resources Mock Trial provides.
"If we are going to start this club, it's like I want to work with EC Justice, CPE, and Mock Trial so that we can all combine and do that stuff," she added.
Senator for Diversity and Inclusion Natalie Barnes, who previously served as Mock Trial president, expressed similar concerns.
"I don't see the difference between pre-law in CPE, Mock Trial, and EC Justice, which also advocates rights if they are all going to do the same thing," she said.
Aron Callard, SGA senator for Clubs and Organizations, agreed with Schultz about collaboration.
"It's great to create your own, but you need to be able to pull from the resources around you, and if you're not open to that, that's a very toxic environment," he said.
While SGA vice president Laura Rusk agreed that Pre-Law Club could improve their relationship with Mock Trial, she felt the senators got lost on the purpose of the group.

I'm out. Blessedly, joyfully, incredibly, out.
The rabbit must have not died …that's how they test for rabies, isn't it? Rabbit, rabies. As in Latin, must be some connection.
Anyway, the bars are gone, the treats are before me and I am back at my Contessa's side. She picked me up in a long black car. The back seat was nearly as big as our terrazzo. We drove past the walls of Rome and out through the EUR. Many sheep and sunflower fields were passed.
Then, she tucked me into a leathery carrier and we headed for the airport doors. The airport!
I love airplanes. Get on in one place, close the door for awhile, eat pretzels and slurp a little greco de tufo and, when the doors open, the world has been transformed. How is it done? I wonder.
But, no matter, for I am sprung. Perhaps the paperwork never came through and we are on the lamb; perhaps we are legit and merely celebrating reunion.
I sip the last of my wine and watch the door. What world will be revealed as it swings open this time? I lick the salt from the pretzels and close my eyes and dream.

RBS To Let Almost 900 IT Workers Go
Tuesday, 15th August: The FTSE followed on from yesterday's trend by carrying forward further gains at the opening, around 0.22% higher. However, this could change depending on the outcome of the inflation data due for release later in the morning.
As expected, tension surrounding a nuclear war has now simmered down as North Korea's state media announced that Kim Jong Un is 'delaying' the act of firing missiles towards Guam. As equities continue to balance out amid the news, Gold slowly slides, and was quoted around 0.55% lower in the early hours of trading at around £982.957 per ounce.
Amongst the sea of banks looking to cut jobs to reduce costs is the Royal Bank of Scotland. Earlier in the year, reports suggested these job cuts would concern around 400 jobs, but today, the figure has doubled and the new anticipated job cut concerns almost 900 IT jobs on top of the initial rumoured cuts at the beginning of the year. This isn't something they plan to do in the short term, but rather in the next three years or so. By 2020, the group intent on having an IT workforce of 950 full-time people, which is almost half of what they currently employ in the department. Other job cuts they announced earlier this year includes their plans to cut around 443 jobs in business loans, the majority of which will be moved to India.
Inflation data, when finally released, suggested that the financial squeeze on UK household spending is beginning to ease off, as official figures reported flat CPI and a 0.1% drop in core inflation. As a result the FTSE continued to make gains throughout the morning and afternoon. However, this caused the pound to weaken, as GBP/USD was down 0.81% at $1.2862, and GBP/EUR was down 0.25% at €1.0983.
The FTSE held onto gains it made throughout the day and closed 0.41% higher at 7383, but the FTSE 250 only 0.01% higher, due to large losses made by Acacia Mining, which sunk at the bottom-end of the index and closed 9.45% lower.

Cold plasma freshens up French fries
by European Space Agency November 30, 2016
November 30, 2016 – Bad smells from deep-fat frying in restaurants and take-away food venues could soon be eradicated thanks to experiments funded by ESA on the International Space Station.
Cooking food such as French fries in hot fat or oil releases malodorous molecules that are extremely hard to remove or disperse. These odours are typically destroyed in bulky and expensive commercial cooker hoods by chemicals that create ozone as a byproduct – which must be removed because of health concerns.
Instead, a German manufacturer of deep-fat fryers, Blümchen, is taking a different approach, based on plasma experiments that have been running on the Space Station since 2001.
Plasma is usually a hot, electrically charged gas but it is possible to create 'cold plasmas' at room temperature. Cold plasma has proved to be an extremely effective bactericidal agent and can also tackle fungi, viruses and spores. It is safe to touch, which makes it attractive for many applications.
Methods for generating cold plasmas were developed at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany, where the notion of using electrons to create the plasma for removing odours was patented.
The plasma odour-removing filter developed by Terraplasma is a direct result of experience gained on the International Space Station from a series of experiments funded by ESA and run in collaboration with the Russian space agency. The first of these was the very first experiment to be run on the Station. The latest is Plasma Kristall-4, shown here. Copyright MPE–M. Kretschmer
Funded by ESA and in collaboration with the Russian space agency, scientists led by Professor Gregor Morfill were responsible for the first experiment on the Station. His team took advantage of weightlessness in orbit to study complex plasmas, which provided the impetus to develop the cold plasma technology.
The most recent fourth version of this experiment is still working on the Station, making the plasma study experiment the longest-running in space.
A grant from ESA has helped to transform the knowledge into practical applications on Earth. Since 2013 Prof. Morfill has been CEO of the Terraplasma company, which has already applied the cold plasma to medical and hygiene problems, and to water treatment.
To remove odours, Terraplasma's new system generates the plasma by sparking a glowing electrical discharge in the air between a short rod electrode sitting in the middle of a cylindrical electrode. The discharge is initially a narrow line about 1 mm thick somewhere between the electrodes, but when it is made to move rapidly by a magnetic field it spreads out to produce a plasma disc. The foul air is then passed through this disc for cleaning.
From space to the kitchen
German EurA Consult from ESA's Technology Transfer Programme broker network had long been aware of Prof. Morfill's specialty and his spin-off successes at Terraplasma, and introduced the technology to Blümchen, who were seeking a better answer for industrial cooker hoods.
"This industry is not one that normally adopts novel technologies, but we recognised a big potential here," said Johannes Schmidt of EurA Consult.
"It helps that both companies are open-minded, think creatively and can work fast to bring a new development to market."
"The new design works by using electrons within the plasma to neutralise odours," explained Prof. Morfill.
"The thin plasma sheet breaks the offending molecules up into harmless components that do not smell and do not need to be extracted afterwards.
"It's also about a thousand times faster than the traditional chemical method."

For 15 weeks since the fall, the top spot on the Billboard singles chart has been occupied by one of two Ariana Grande mega-smashes — "Thank U, Next" and "7 Rings" — that drip with the mettle and coquettish swagger of a pop diva, while borrowing from hip-hop beats and cadences.
That winsome formula, though particularly compelling from Grande, can be traced back through recent pop history on a global scale: There are elements of the sound in a K-pop track by the girl group Red Velvet from 2015; a JoJo kiss-off from 2016; a Fifth Harmony single from 2017; and a Grammy-nominated Christina Aguilera number from last year. Even "High Hopes," the sugary comeback hit from the pop-punk survivors Panic! at the Disco, which peaked at No. 4 in January, shares some of that DNA in its ecstatic vocal runs and melodic precision.
The common link comes via the songwriter Taylor Parks, an ebullient 25-year-old former child actress with a brightly dyed bob and an air of benevolent mischief, who was credited on each. Known in the industry as a top-liner, Parks, who performs as Tayla Parx, contributes melodic and lyrical ideas to some of the biggest artists in the world, and those aspiring to be.
For the last few years, she has done so quietly, cutting a meticulous yet low-key warpath through popular music on a personal quest to land a No. 1 single on every genre chart — a lofty goal that's no longer far-fetched.
"I only have a few more to go," Parx said recently, while putting the finishing touches on her own debut album. "I need a country, I need a gospel, and I need a hip-hop." She tackled Latin pop back in 2016, before its crossover explosion, and Nashville was already in her sights, she teased, after recent interest from Kacey Musgraves and Keith Urban.
They are not the only ones to take notice. Parx was credited as a co-writer on half of Grande's blockbuster "Thank U, Next" album, which rebooted the pop singer's sound and public narrative. For Parx, the release worked as a springboard from workaday writer to A-list studio presence and, ideally, viable solo artist — an elusive final hurdle for many young female songwriters, from Ester Dean and Jessie J to Julia Michaels and Starrah.
A Texas-born protégée of the actress and choreographer Debbie Allen, Parx moved with her family — a mother who worked in software and a father in mortgage underwriting — to Los Angeles to pursue show business.
She played Little Inez Stubbs in the 2007 film adaptation of "Hairspray" before landing a few small television parts, including on Nickelodeon shows where she first crossed paths with Grande. Though they kept in touch intermittently on AOL Instant Messenger — and Parx helped write the title track for Grande's second album, "My Everything," in 2014 — the women did not really reconnect in person until the making of "Thank U, Next" late last year.
Now, with Grande in her corner and on her résumé, Parx is trying to balance studio sessions for hit-seeking artists like Sam Smith, Haim and Dua Lipa with signing artists and producers of her own, going on acting auditions, working on a screenplay for an animated film, conceiving a clothing brand and promoting her Atlantic Records release, "We Need to Talk." The new album, like Parx's best hits, is playful and conversational, blending pop, R&B and traces of rap with plenty of Grande-esque high notes.
Parx was brought into the "Thank U, Next" sessions in October by her longtime friends and collaborators Victoria Monét, another top-liner, and the producer Tommy Brown, or TB Hits, who had both worked on Grande's four previous albums.
Grande had just released a full-length, "Sweetener," that August, but with the death of her ex-boyfriend, the rapper Mac Miller, and the flame out of her high-profile romance with Pete Davidson of "Saturday Night Live," she had plenty more material to work through.
The group wrote about nine songs in a week, six of which ended up making the "Thank U, Next" album. But none were as crucial as the title track, which existed in multiple versions, including the internet-melting one where Grande addressed her exes by name.
"They all felt like the one until we got to 'Thank U, Next,' and then we were like, 'This is the one one!'" Parx said.
Parx noted that she, Monét and Grande were not only collaborators but also peers and friends. "For me to connect to a young female is a completely different perspective than when you have a Max Martin talking to a young female," she said, referring to the longtime pop hitmaker.
As for the criticism that Grande received about appropriating black music and style, Parx brushed it off, noting that many critics failed to recognize the pop star's black collaborators. "She's actually supporting the black producers and writers that she works with more than some of the black artists that I've worked with," Parx said.
Parx's technical skills, like a knack for arranging and producing vocals, also help set her apart. "I might find a breath or a word that I like — it's like surgery," she said of the process, which can include coaching singers toward certain emotional registers and chopping up different takes into fine-tuned final versions.
"It sounds like I have a lisp," she told her audio engineer, barely missing a beat in conversation.
Seeming genuinely sated by all of the success coming her way, Parx was typically buoyant about the possibility that "We Need to Talk" may not be her own commercial breakthrough, but merely another baby step in an atypical career.

Q: Использование функций класса для всех объектов этого класса Можно ли каким-то образом сделать так, что бы все объекты определенного класса выполнили нужную функцию этого класса? Например, мы создали очень много объектов и переписывать строку вызова функции для всех было бы весьма долго.
class Myclass
    def Function():
    print ("просто функция")

object1 = Myclass()
object2 = Myclass()
object3 = Myclass()
...

Далее идет обильное кол-во подобных объектов, для каждого из которых надо будет
применить функцию Function.
Как можно заменить такое большое количество строк:
object1.Function()
object2.Function()
object3.Function()
и т.д.

A: Я бы рассмотрел такое решение
class Myclass

    def Function():
       print ("просто функция")
objects = []

o1 = Myclass()
objects.append(o1)
o2 = Myclass()
objects.append(o2)
o3 = Myclass()
objects.append(o3)

def do_function(objects):
   for object in objects:
      object.Function()

Так же можно сделать процедуру создания объекта, которая будет создавать объект и заносить его в массив объектов.

What is the Stemming for Search Engines?
In linguistics and linguistic computer science, stemming (reduction of the original form) is a procedure that traces different morphological variants of a word back to their common stem. The stemming enables improved and more relevant search results to be achieved. In any case, it leads to an expansion of the results. Stemming of words is also related to the TF-IDF (Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency) term. Because, usually, Search Engines use the correlation of occurring together words to understand the topic and purpose of the content. To learn more, you can read our "What is TF-IDF" article.

How does Stemming Help Search Engines to Reduce their Cost while Organizing the Information on the Web?
Various parenting processes have been tested in computer science since 1968, but so far this has been particularly widespread, especially in the USA. Search engines use the keywords contained in the text to get relevant search results. To this end, Google has been using various stemming processes to optimize the search engine since 2004. These changes in the search algorithm enable the search queries to be differentiated and thus analyze entire sentences much more precisely.
The stemming identifies the words based on their grammatical stem. Accordingly, the search engine recognizes a connection between the variants of a word and assigns relevance to this page. For example, if you enter the search term "search engine optimization", you will get both the results "optimization" and "optimize". In addition, the stemming reduces the storage space required and thus speeds up the search. The stemming not only reduces the content to the basic forms but also optimizes similar terms that correspond to the subject area of the main keyword. For example, a text about potatoes could also provide information about other uses and types of potatoes in addition to the description of the vegetables. In this way, the text would increase its relevance to this term.
Stemming is similar to the BERT Algorithm from today. Both of them have the same purpose. Understanding the queries according to the their use situation. Search Engines' nature stays the same while the Search Habits always change. This creates complex measurements and algorithms while time passes.

Stemming Algorithms and Their Improvement Process
Julie Beth Lovins published the first stemming algorithm book in 1968. The second big Stemming Algorithm book was published in 1980 by Martin Porter. Most of the publications have focused on the English texts so the algorithms have been applied to the other languages later. That's why also the Florida Update has affected to the non-English Speaking countries later. In 2000, Martin Porter has published Snowball Algorithm to improve Stemming Algorithms. Also, later, he helped other algorithms with the same purpose to be developed.
Notes from Martin Porter Regarding Stemming
Stemming cannot be applied to all languages, e.g. Chinese cannot be edited with a stemmer, but the Indo-European languages are more or less suitable for this. Assuming the words are written left to right, the stem is on the left and 0 or more suffixes can be appended to the right of the word. Prefixes can also be placed to the left of the word stem. (Example: 'unhappiness': prefix 'un', stem 'happy', 'y' became 'i' when the suffix 'ness' was added). Prefixes often change the meaning of the word in substantial parts (exception: 'ge' in German). The goal of stemming is to remove suffixes under certain circumstances. For example, 'happy' and 'happiness' have a related meaning, and it is desirable to reduce both syntactic words to the basic form 'happi'. Infixes are rarely used (e.g. German and Dutch).
Martin Porter
The Stemming process for Search Engines
The complex stemming algorithms are optimized for the respective languages due to the different linguistic conditions (grammar). For example, the algorithm recognizes the common word stem "house" from the different words "house building", "behausen" and "a residential house" and delivers the corresponding search results. For the stemming, it is no longer a challenge whether the text contains words in the singular or plural or whether they are separated by a hyphen. The procedure enables both the reduction of the words to their basic form and the shortening of the suffixes or prefixes. The most common variant is the suffix removal.
Also, Stemming and Variations of Words are related to the Entity-based Search Engine features. Despite the different pronunciations or languages, people search the same entity with the same Neural Network. That's why the Search Engine unifies all information from all world under the hood of "Entity Knowledge Base". This creates a huge data unification, bigger data means better insights and algorithms.

ROTH: Beauty in the night
In the cool of the morning, most moths aren't perturbed by a gentle nudge that reveals their under-colors. Garden tiger moth (Arctia caja), one of the 'woolly bear' caterpillar family. Photo by Sally Roth
When I was a kid, we had no porch light. But our next-door neighbors did.
Even better, they had a granddaughter my age who'd come to stay in the summer — the only kid in the neighborhood way back then.
After it got too dark for picking small black 'bird cherries' from their giant tree or catching lightning bugs, we'd play on that open porch, that single wondrous bulb creating enough light to see our tea party set.
One warm summer night, a huge creature — the size of a man's hand, which was huge to a couple of 4- or 5-year-olds — flew in from the night, called by that irresistible light.
'Bat!' shrieked my playmate, which brought her grandpa running.
The big brown winged thing quickly settled in the pool of light on the porch floor under the bare bulbs.
'It's a moth!' I breathed, and in a dreadful scene that I still remember in slow motion, I bent to peer at it just as her grandpa lifted his foot and stomped it.
Twenty years later, I finally saw another one of those moths — at my own porch light.
It was a cecropia moth, the biggest of the group called giant silk moths, and it was spectacular, its brown wings fancied up with crescents of red and cream like an antique paisley shawl.
The huge cecropia, the smaller but stunning Io and Promethea, the ethereal green Luna, the yellow and lavender imperial and other giant silk moths used to be much more common than they are today. But the big beauties still show up at lights on summer evenings, along with countless smaller moths.
All you need to bring them in is a non-LED light bulb in your porch light. Incandescent is best, if you still have one, but a compact fluorescent works, too.
We start 'checking the light' for arrivals about an hour after dark. Well, actually, we've rearranged the porch furniture so our view is of the light, just so we can sit there and enjoy seeing them come in.
Moths will settle on your house wall near the light, or on surrounding plants. You can make it easier to admire them by hanging a white cloth near the light (old bed sheet, tablecloth, tee shirt, whatever you have on hand). The reflected light invites moths to settle on the cloth.
Not a night owl yourself? If you leave the light on all night, most of them will still be there in the early morning, until the sun hits their wings.
Admiring moths isn't a new thing. More than 100 years ago, Indiana's own Gene Stratton-Porter glorified the beauty and romance of these night creatures in her beloved book, 'A Girl of the Limberlost.'
Today, thanks to Facebook pages and other sites where you can post pictures of your moths, get an ID if you need one, and talk to other moth-lovers, the summer hobby of moth-watching is spreading fast. (Pinning specimens is a thing of the past — most of us 'collect' with photos.)
If you haven't yet fallen under the spell of moth-watching, give it a try. It's an incredible world of beauty out there at night.
National Moth Week is July 23 through 31 this year, and lots of places and people are participating. Go to nationalmothweek.org to find a public event near you or to register your own personal night out.

This home cinema system from Sony may not incorporate DVD recording, but don't turn your back just yet - the DAV-DZ410 certainly has flexibilities and strengths elsewhere.
As well as offering the usual five speakers and subwoofer for a 5.1 surround sound experience in a conventional speaker formation, this Sony is flexible enough to deal with alternative speaker placement scenarios and still achieve a surround sound effect.
Sony's flexible speaker placement option means that it can even accommodate installations without a centre speaker or with the surround speakers placed at the front of the room, for example. You can even place the rear speakers in another room for second zone listening.
The built-in Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) system quickly accommodates your speaker layout scenario and optimises system performance using a microphone placed at the main listening position.
The main unit's front panel incorporates an audio jack for connection to MP3 players. Connections elsewhere aren't the most comprehensive: the Scart socket is only equipped with an RGB and composite video signal output, but thankfully there's component video with progressive scan capabilities onboard.
Video connectivity may be a bit limited, but playback includes DVD-R/RW and DVD R/RW format discs as well discs containing MP3, JPEG and DiVX material. Surprisingly, there's no provision for SACD playback.
Progressive scan pictures via the component video socketry offer the best results, delivering clean images and crisp colours while watching our test DVD of Syriana. It's remarkably detailed and copes well with camera pans across the desert.
Picture performance is also impressive with RGB signals via the Scart socket. The Sony performs well with speakers placed in a typical 5.1 surround sound layout - dialogue and movie atmospherics are expertly placed around the room. Dialogue clarity is good but it lacks openness. The sub isn't that powerful, but turning up the subwoofer level achieves better results, albeit lacking energy.
Alternative speaker layouts provide effective surround results, and the Sony's automated setup mode and pseudo surround processing delivers pleasing results no matter what speaker placement you choose.
Musically, the Sony system isn't the best home cinema system we've encountered - it sounds unrefined and too lacking in punch to double as a decent music system.
But, let's not lose sight of the main event here - picture performance. With component video connections, the Sony DAV-DZ410 demonstrates some of the most startling DVD pictures we have seen on a home cinema system at the price.


The KNX standard is based upon more than 24 years of experience in the market, amongst others with predecessor systems to KNX: EIB, EHS and BatiBUS. Via the KNX medium to which all bus devices are connected (twisted pair, radio frequency, power line or IP/Ethernet), they are able to exchange information.
Bus devices can either be sensors or actuators needed for the control of building management equipment such as: lighting, blinds / shutters, security systems, energy management, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, signalling and monitoring systems, interfaces to service and building control systems, remote control, metering, audio / video control, white goods, etc. All these functions can be controlled, monitored and signalled via a uniform system without the need for extra control centres.
The Z-Wave protocol is an interoperable, wireless, RF-based communications technology designed specifically for control, monitoring and status reading applications in residential and light commercial environments. Mature, proven and broadly deployed (with over 70 million products sold worldwide), Z-Wave is by far the world market leader in wireless control, bringing affordable, reliable and easy-to-use 'smart' products to many millions of people in every aspect of daily life.
EnOcean modules combine micro-energy converters with ultra-low power electronics and reliable wireless communications. This enables EnOcean customers to create self-powered wireless sensor solutions that are fundamental for collecting and processing data in an intelligent system.The specific characteristics of this protocol allow highly energy-efficient communication.
Since most energy harvesters deliver only very small amounts of power, it is necessary to accumulate it over time while the system is sleeping and to lose only a small fraction of it in the process. Therefore EnOcean sensors have an extremely low idle current. This means that only a very tiny amount of energy is consumed while the system is sleeping. The latest generation of EnOcean energy harvesting wireless sensors requires standby currents of only 100 nanoamperes (nA) or less.

Who will change the future? Find out with our coverage of the latest entry in the Wizarding World franchise, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'!


The same group of right-wing activists is behind the killings of rationalists Narendra Dabholkar, M M Kalburgi and journalist Gauri Lankesh, a senior police official said quoting investigation reports. However, the probe agencies have not been able to establish the group's link with the killing of rationalist and communist leader Govind Pansare, he said.
"During the investigation, it came to light that a gang of like-minded people was involved in the killings of Dabholkar, Lankesh and Kalburgi. Almost all members of this gang have links with the Sanatan Sanstha and its offshoot Hindu Janjagruti Samiti," the official said Saturday.
"The probe so far indicates that those arrested in connection with the seizure of huge cache of explosives from Nallasopara in Palghar district have direct links with the killings of Dabholkar, Kalburgi and Lankesh," he said.
Meanwhile, efforts are on to nab those behind Pansare's killing, the official said.
The Maharashtra Special Investigation Team (SIT) is probing Pansare's killing.
Lankesh was killed at her house in Bengaluru in September last year while Kalburgi was shot dead at the entrance of his house in Karnataka's Dharwad district on August 30, 2015. After the seizure of explosives from Nallasopara last month, the Maharashtra Police has arrested at least 10 people and said it will investigate their role in all detected and undetected cases, including the killings of Dabholkar, Pansare, Kalburgi and Lankesh.
During the interrogation, one of the arrested persons, Sharad Kalaskar, admitted to his involvement in Dabholkar's killing, police had said. On his information, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is investigating Dabholkar's killing, arrested Sachin Andure from Aurangabad.
Kalaskar and Andure allegedly shot dead Dabholkar with two pistols in Pune, the official said. The CBI had earlier arrested Virendrasing Tawade, the alleged 'mastermind' of the killing.
"During our investigation, it came to light that Tawade played a major role in the planning and execution of the three assassinations (Dabholkar, Lankesh and Kalburgi)," the official claimed.
While investigating Lankesh's killing, the Karantaka Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested Pune-based engineer Amol Kale, who had names and mobile numbers of the other group members in his diary, including Vaibhav Raut, Sudhanva Gondhalekar, Sharad Kalaskar and others, the official said.
Kalaskar had travelled to Karnataka to do a recce of Lankesh's residence, he said.
As part of further probe, the Maharashtra ATS Wednesday obtained the custody of Bharat Kurne and Sujeet Kumar, who were originally arrested by the Karnataka SIT in Lankesh's killing case, in connection with the seizure of explosives from different parts of the state.
Sujeet Kumar alias Praveen is also wanted in connection with Kalburgi's killing. During the Karnataka SIT's investigation, it came to light that Kumar allegedly shot Kalburgi. Kurne and Kumar were allegedly involved in the training of handling of arms and explosives along with those arrested by the Maharashtra Police in the explosives' seizure case, the official said.
Kurne, a resort owner in Karnataka's Belgaum district, had provided shelter to those accused in Lankesh's killing. His three acre farmland at Khanapur forest was also used for fire arm training sessions, he added.


Civic robes date back to medieval England when Mayors were responsible for law and order, and their intent was to distinguish Mayors from other noblemen. The colour red is tradition, and also has its origins in medieval times when red was very expensive to produce and therefore indicated wealth.
The current robes were designed by students of the TAFE SA Fashion Industry Training Program. In 2015 it was recognised that the previous robes were showing their age after being created around 15 years earlier. The students were asked to design a new set of robes that reflected both the history that robes represent, but also to have a contemporary interpretation. The second year Bachelor and Advanced Bachelor design students were given the task as a part of their formal assessment tasks. Each created a number of initial designs, these were then reviewed and finally two were selected - one to be the more formal, winter robe, and a second to be a lighter and less formal robe for the summer months.
Abyit Hailu designed the formal / winter robe and Lacey Ayers designed the summer robe. They were then manufactured by a lecturer at the TAFE design school Ms Natasha Taradilis.
The City of Charles Sturt logo features as a main element of the chain.
The chain was manufactured by experienced jeweller and North Adelaide School of Arts lecturer John Campbell.
The City of Charles Sturt logo was created following the amalgamation of Hindmarsh and Woodville councils. The colours have both historical and contemporary meaning. Historically they represent the councils of past: blue and gold for Hindmarsh, green and gold for Woodville. Their contemporary significance is as a representation of the landscape of Charles Sturt, which also includes the former Henley & Grange Council: blue and green for extensive waterways, gardens and parks, with the yellow curves for the River Torrens.
The logo design depicts the flow, integration and cooperation of all facets of life. The strength of the diamond, which represents energy and resolve, is complemented by the soft flowing curves representing humanity and a caring and balanced lifestyle.
The feature rug in the centre of the Council Chambers was acquired in 1997, following the construction of the new Civic Centre. It was created by contemporary indigenous design company Balarinji, whose best known works are its series of Dreaming aircraft for Qantas.
Designer David Malko named the rug design 'Meeting Place', making if a fitting addition to the Council Chambers space.


Although many stakeholders are still not impressed with the mining sector in Malawi, Canadian based Mkango Resources Limited has disclosed that it will start mining activities at Songwe Hills in Phalombe district.
Mkango Resources Limited Chief Executive Officer (CEO) William Dawes disclosed the move to have rare earths from Songwe Hills, which range from neodymium used in electric motors to lanthanum used to make batteries, whose demand is increasing with the emergence of new, greener technology.
Dawes said that they will start mining at the hill in 2020 to meet the demand of metals that are used in electric vehicles.
"We think we will be in production in three years' time, just at the right time," Dawes told Reuters on Monday.
Dawes added that their target is to be mining 3000 tonnes of rare earth in Malawi by 2021 to meet the demand in the world.
The mining sector in Malawi has been reported to be benefiting those in authorities as they profit from the sales of the minerals.
The Kayelekela mining in Karonga is among the mining projects in which Malawians were ripped off as reports revealed that the lion share was enjoyed by those in power.
KuMALAWI kuli mining? Tell me.bcoz countries which 've got mines r richer,michenga kapena quarry?
You can't just start mining without telling the public how will you be paying to Govt and how much do you expect roughly to get in US dollars per a year! Let's be transparent this is new Malawi otherwise you will appear before Parliamentary Committee. Kkkk lol! Dzuka Malawi.

First yu must see which minerals we have not just saying atibera atibera nde uko ndi gold????????
Most Welcome So Dat Others Can Get Employed And Dat Gvt Revenue Can Be Increased.
My friend do research properly. What are they going to mine. Mcheng Kayerekera are coal mines. Of which minerals which can change economy is gold, diamond, nickel, platinum and copper. No country usually import coal. That coal from above mines is just used in Malawi. So we need mineral like gold or diamond to export then it brings foreign currency. Rand in Malawi is only being brought by people. At the other hand it will create jobs opportunities. Its simple we keep our mineral and kwacha keep going down or we use our minerals to gain. That will also attract big investors. We have oil but we choose to keep it. Botswana, Zimbabwe, RSA, and Zambia are rich because of they choose to allow mining to take place. While Kamuzu declined.

HomeSecurityWeak points in the TCP / IP stack threaten IoT devices
Weak points in the TCP / IP stack threaten IoT devices
The latest vulnerability in a key part of the network stack threatens a major open source operating system, printers and IoT medical devices.
A number of vulnerabilities in the TCP / IP stacks used by FreeBSD and three popular real-time operating systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) were uncovered this week by security vendor Forescout and JSOF Research. The nine vulnerabilities could potentially affect 100 million devices in the wild.
Nucleus NET, IPNet, and NetX are the other operating systems affected by the vulnerabilities identified in a joint report by Forescout and JSOF called: Wreck.
In a report on the vulnerabilities, Forescout writes that TCP / IP stacks are particularly vulnerable for a number of reasons, including their widespread use, the fact that many such stacks were created long ago, and the fact that they did so thanks to unauthenticated functionality and protocols that cross network boundaries offer an attractive target.
The Domain Name System suffers from similar problems that can be exploited in the case of the Name: Wreck vulnerabilities.
"DNS is a complex protocol that tends to give rise to vulnerable implementations, and these vulnerabilities can often be exploited by outside attackers to take control of millions of devices simultaneously," the report said.
Name: Wreck can allow denial of service attacks as well as remote code execution and is likely caused by poor coding practices when parsing DNS response content, according to Eric Hanselman, the principal research analyst at 451 Research. Essentially, a key value in the system that is used to compress DNS responses into smaller and easier to transport packets is not validated by the system and can be tampered with by an evil actor.
"The difficulty with DNS attacks is that DNS responses can contain a significant amount of information," says Hanselman. "There are so many format options that it is not uncommon for a significant amount of data to be returned in a DNS response, and if you don't track DNS requests and allow OpenDNS in your environment, it is very difficult to track the response to ensure you have a status-based follow-up. "
The real risk a company faces depends on which of the vulnerable stacks it is using. The FreeBSD vulnerability is likely to be more prevalent - it affects millions of IT networks, including Netflix and Yahoo, as well as traditional network devices such as firewalls and routers, the report says, but is likely easier to fix.
"These are manageable systems - we should be able to update them," said Forrester senior analyst Brian Kime. "[And] they should be prioritized when troubleshooting because they are part of the network stack."
In many cases, the same cannot be said of the real-time operating systems affected by Name: Wreck, since the standard problems in securing IoT devices remain. The ability to patch and update the firmware is still not standard, and the OEMs of the connected devices - which may be quite old and not designed for internet use in the first place - may not even be up and running.
In cases where these IoT devices are vulnerable, strong security must start at the network layer, according to Hanselman. Monitoring the network directly for anomalous activity - which in turn is sometimes difficult to detect in the case of a TCP / IP vulnerability - is a good start, but what is really needed are techniques like protecting DNS queries.
"Fortunately for most businesses, DNS monitoring is much more widespread because DNS is one of the best ways to detect ransomware," he said. "Most organizations should have decent DNS query protection in place."
The active scope of these vulnerabilities is limited by several factors, including the question of whether the affected devices have direct access to the Internet - which is unlikely in the case of many of the medical devices described - and how patchable they are. In addition, it is worth noting that none of the vulnerabilities in the wild has yet been exploited. However, an important goal to keep in mind could be printers.
According to Kime, printers are very easily accessible as they are more or less ubiquitous and typically don't pay much attention to security, and once compromised they could provide a vector through which to access other vulnerable devices on a network can be.
"They are rarely examined for vulnerabilities so that they can be exploited by threat actors," he said. "I could imagine that bad actors use IoT vulnerabilities as persistence as soon as they have exploited something else to get into the environment."
Name: Wreck is, of course, nowhere near the only set of TCP / IP vulnerabilities that have been raising their ugly heads recently. Forescout and JSOF have discovered several families of this type of vulnerability in the past, including Ripple20, Amnesia: 33, and Number: Jack in the past calendar year alone, and experts agree that more vulnerabilities will come to light in the foreseeable future. For one, there simply aren't that many IP stacks, which means that many are used in a wide variety of applications and are generally considered secure.
"It's something that everyone assumes they can pull the IP stack out of their preferred [open source software] distribution, and that it should be well hardened," said Hanselman. "By and large that's true, but network stacks are pretty complex state management and there can be unexpected ways to manipulate it."

A bad run of form, a time of bad luck or bad results. It can also be used as a verb – to slump, the team slumped to their third defeat in a row.
Example: Tottenham's slump in form affected their Champions League chances.
Example: Inter came out of their slump – three successive defeats – to eventually win away at Fiorentina.


Didn't really blitz until the last 3rd of Act 3 on Legendary. I just had a good chunk of downtime while I was between jobs.
I'm at the first town beyond the Great Wall now....those Dragon-kin sure do hurt.
The Dragonkin are the first real test of your character, my melee Slayer came up wanting shortly thereafter in the final boss area (bigger, meaner dragonkin packs of archer/mages). It sucked.
Yeah I was going through potions by the hundreds there with my battlemage (I just melee). Had to do alot of running and gunning against those damn fire arrow dragons, them being resitant to all my fire damage sure didn't help matters. As far as boss fights and cyclops's I was thankful for a sword that slowed their attacks when hit, helped me hit and run alot of those slow guys at the end, especially since 1 hit would nearly kill me. Took me about 6 tries on the final guy though, and with him I had to back out and level up to 32 before I could beat him, plus I had to seriously change my equipment loadout for him.
For all those who finished Legendary : is the game basically done after that? You make an alt or you quit? I'm in the first act of Epic right now and the loot is just not coming. It seems that when I'll finally have the items and build that I want, Legendary mode is going to be completed with absolutely no challenge for my fully developed character.
Maybe you can play on Legendary difficulty with a team of 6 but not grouped? Do the boss scale or just the number of mobs?
I think this game needs Emerald/Rubie boss and a couple of player made mod (really hard arena map for example). Someone should at least edit the game and make a mythological difficulty or something.
There isn't much to do after Legendary unless there's specific loot you're looking for. Regardless of how you up the difficulty this game is never going to be particularly challenging. Sure I got one-shotted quite a bit if I wasn't paying enough attention and mobs ran around my pet or something, but monster hp and damage output isn't really the issue. The biggest problem with this game is that the boss AI is crap, and most of the bosses are slow and telegraph their moves long before they execute them.
Pfft, I'm having problems finding good loot in Normal mode now.
Its on page 1x of the melee whine thread.
Regardless of what they change, this game doesn't have the replay value of Diablo II. It was a good first try and I look forward to any sequel, but regardless of whatever changes they make to any skills it's not going to fix the basic problems this game has.
Hmm...I actually like this game a Lot more than Diablo II.
I disagree, with the editor people should be able to inject replay value as modders have been doing for years.
A complete lack of challenge which also makes it easy to get high end loot are my biggest problems. I could just do Legendary Typhon runs right now without so much as taking one hit to my character, gather up the loot, and repeat. It's quicker and easier than any of the common loot runs in Diablo were. I also don't think the loot looks as good on the characters as Diablo loot does, but that's just my opinion.

'I'll expose everyone': 'Manikarnika' star Kangana Ranaut slams Bollywood industry
Feb 8, 2019, 10:43 am IST
Entertainment, Bollywood
The actor, who was at an event of her latest "Manikarnika", was asked about the lack of support to her during the film's promotions.
Kangana Ranaut.
Mumbai: Actor Kangana Ranaut on Thursday said people from the Hindi film industry have ganged up against her for calling them out on "nepotism".
"How will it benefit me? I've already won 3-4 national awards. At the age of 31, I am a filmmaker. Khud ko he promote kar le bohot badi baat hai (it would be a big deal if they can promote themselves).
"Is Rani of Jhansi my aunt? She's as much mine as she's yours. Then why are these people scared? They are worried just because I spoke on nepotism? They have formed a gang: 'Why did she speak on nepotism?"
The actor had sparked a debate on nepotism when she appeared on Karan Johar's chat show two years ago and started a war of words with the filmmaker after she called him the "torchbearer of nepotism" in the industry for launching star kids.
"They have all gathered together, like a classroom where 59 have ganged up against one, trying to bully one. How will you feel if someone did that? Aren't they ashamed? Some of them are my grandfather's age.
"They are after me. Don't they feel ashamed that it's not about me. I don't even want to work with them and I've said that often," she said.
The actor said "Manikarnika" was for the next generation and the film wasn't about Kangana.
"What Bollywood is doing, the planning and plotting, one thing is for sure, earlier I used to call them out for sexism, nepotism or pay disparity, but now I'll be after them. 'Inki vaat laga dugi'. I'll expose each and every one. They have asked for trouble by ganging up against me," she added.

Introducing Lookfly's New Look - Lookfly & VC Ultimate Europe Ltd.
It's said that change is the only constant in life, and so it goes for Lookfly, too!
We heard you, our community, in our recent survey. We agreed that it was time to refresh our brand, to create a more robust product line, to launch more Lookfly-branded designs, and to improve our website and ordering systems. Our first task, updating our logo, was daunting but we're ecstatic with the results!
It's important to us that our logo represents where our brand stands, both philosophically and geographically.
Local manufacturing has always been important to us, so we worked with a graphic designer based in the northwest of England to help instill the rebrand with echoes of Lookfly's new home: Liverpool, UK.
Our beloved green leaf icon has made way for a simple yet bold feather and a new typographical treatment on our name is now more vibrant and free. We transitioned to the feather as, to us, it symbolises nature, movement, and a lightness of touch that mirrors our environmental consciousness, lightweight technical fabric, and independent, free spirit. The sport of ultimate is flying and we want to take you with us!
We wanted to ensure that our branding looks great on your team's uniforms, but also amazing when you're wearing our gear off the field.
We hope you love our new look as much as we do. Expect to see it a lot over the coming months as more exciting developments for Lookfly are unveiled. Come and chat with us at tournaments, on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram - we'd love to hear what you think!

"A decent girl has no business hanging out on Facebook" " />
Social media in Azerbaijan: the cradle of the protest movement, a nest of debauchery or a champion of the oppressed?
"A decent girl has no business hanging out on Facebook"
There are about two million Facebook users in Azerbaijan – just a bit more than a fifth of the country's population. Judging by the growth rate, in five years every Azerbaijani will have a Facebook account with internet access. Users of other social media networks are much smaller.
But just what is Facebook like in Azerbaijan? What are its peculiar, national characteristics?
The nest of the revolution or a good place to let off steam?
Facebook users in Azerbaijan (as well as Azerbaijani society as a whole) are divided into Russian- and Azerbaijani-speaking segments. They are separated from each other and intersect little; even the reasons for excitement and heated discussions are different for each segment.
The Azerbaijani-speaking segment actively uses Facebook as a platform for protest activities. People discuss serious problems that the media remain silent about, criticise the government and sound the alarm when yet another opposition activist has been arrested.
The Russian-language segment is less politicised, and thus less capable of organising rallies. However, its netizens are active in debates about everything in the world, and they discuss issues with citizens of neighboring countries.
Social networks are of course an ideal place to organise all kinds of spontaneous demonstrations or flash mobs, such as a flash mob of crowds in shorts protesting against the fact that shorts are still considered unacceptable by many in Azerbaijan, or garbage collection on the beaches.
Azerbaijan ranks 162 out of 180 countries in terms of freedom of speech, among the worst in the sector.
In the absence of a free media, Facebook has become an important source of information for journalists, international media outlets, and for ordinary users as well. For activists and opposition politicians, Facebook is a platform to get their word out.
"Why are social networks popular in Azerbaijan? Because there are no other platforms for discussion. Why do all pro-government figures lose out on social media? Because monologues are impossible here. Lies don't work, and primitive appeals to emotion cause laughter," says Natiq Jafarli, board member of the opposition party Republican Alternative.
Freedom can be dangerous
There have been many cases where the "publicity" of views and positions, which can not be avoided on social networks, have harmed users.
Youth activists are frequently arrested for advocating unpopular ideas on social networks. For example, activist Abdul Abilov spent two years in prison on official charges of drug dealing. His defence, however, says he was arrested for administrating an opposition Facebook page.
One Azerbaijani diplomat was fired because his son "liked" an emergency alert about a fire in a residential building in Baku.
The head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hikmet Hajiyev, had to apologize to the government for a similar "like", explaining that liking content did not always mean supporting it. This has lead to a high degree of self-censorship amongst large state-owned companies and organisations, not to mention within the government itself.
Seeing that the lives of the country's citizens are becoming increasingly difficult to control, a government official will every once in a while come up with a suggestion on how to curb this activity. For example, there have been proposals to grant access to social networks only via ID cards, arguing that this is the only way in which people can be held accountable for their statements.
"Harmful factors such as social media, Facebook, messenger apps and the like play a big role in the disintegration of families, divorces and early marriages, because many people use social media for entertainment and end up facing serious problems," said Hadi Rajabli from the Committee on Labor and Social Policy during the parliamentary discussions of the topic: The Azerbaijani Model of the Family: Modernity and Values.
Care, protection and assistance – instead of the state
Facebook sometimes becomes an instrument of public condemnation and protects the weak. If a victim of a crime suspects that a complaint will not be considered seriously by the police, there is another way to at least "open people's eyes". Victims of insults, blackmail, fraud, and even domestic violence, turn to social media for help.
For example: when one journalist wrote a status in which he expressed his desire to "crush" Russian-speaking children "like dogs", such a fuss was made on social networks that he then had to spend a large amount of time apologising for inciting hatred.
A pregnant wife publicly complained about another journalist, saying that he had severely beaten her. His colleagues basically lynched him online, and the girl received support. In both cases, the scandals caused these social networks made their way to the press and thus were taken more seriously.
Sometimes high-profile affairs that gain momentum on Facebook attract the attention of the authorities. Officials then begin to "supervise" them in order to calm public outrage and "earn points for their reputation".
Another story concerns Facebook users demanding punishment for a man who raped a teenage girl in one of the rural areas. The story might have been hushed up had there been no outrage on Facebook.
Facebook, in addition to this struggle for justice, also has special groups for free medical consultations, groups for job searches and charity groups. In some ways, Facebook can even be considered a substitute for the state.
Facebook is an effective way to raise money for charity, and pages often include the help of journalists and bloggers. Raising money for an operation or just a poor family with small children is quite common. Moreover, few documents or medical records are ever asked – it is enough that a friend reposts.
Time waster and a nest of perversion
Standard accusations against social media include taking too much time from work, turning people into addicted zombies or making them aggressive, and replacing personal face-to-face communication.
Many in Azerbaijan worry that social media may destroy a favourite pastime: playing backgammon with neighbors in the evening.
We asked Baku residents how social media has changed their lives, and whether it was for better or worse.
"You don't have to think about what to tell a girl you like. She already knows if you're active on social media. I was very active on social media. Unlike Maria, who wrote almost nothing on her page. At first I thought it was a fake account. And then I wrote a status offering to go for a walk if anyone happened to be in the area… I was surprised when Maria got in touch. We've been together for more than a year. And all my friends and acquaintances are secretly happy about this – because it means I've stopped complaining on Facebook that I don't have a girlfriend!"
"I worked in a large company and I hated my work with a passion. In the evenings and on the weekends I did handicrafts. I would wear my work myself, or give it to friends. My friends then convinced me to make a business out of it. I opened a page on Facebook, and soon I started getting so many orders that I had to even turn some of them down because I didn't have enough time. I left my job, which I'm very happy about. Now I do what I love, and I'm grateful."
"I have long been involved in charity, that's why I got on Facebook to begin with: my friends told me it would be more effective. And, actually, I found many people and like-minded thinkers on the web. Now I work in a shelter for children that are victims of violence. It exists thanks to the aid that we receive from social media."
However, the conservative part of Azerbaijani society are not enthusiastic about the fact that Facebook facilitates dating. After all, this is a potential threat to the "chastity of young maidens and conjugal fidelity". Many still believe that "decent girls do not have anything to do on Facebook" and some husbands forbid their wives from having accounts on social media or from putting up photos.
For the sake of fairness, it must be said that there is indeed an Azerbaijani page on Facebook where men and, more rarely, women, offer sexual services. The contrast between this practically pornographic group, and nostalgic groups such as "Old Baku" where Baku residents, both young and old, lament the passing of days long gone when a girl seen on the street in the company of a man was considered disgraced, is striking.
"Social media allows you to see society as segments – it makes it possible to see and meet people you'd never meet in everyday life, with varying levels of education, culture and intelligence," says psychologist Orkhan Sultanov.

The Balance of Payments Adjustment Process in Developing Countries deals with the manner in which the burden of adjustment to balance of payments disequilibrium in the 1970s was distributed between developed and developing countries. The book discusses the evidence on changes in the volume of trade; the evidence on price changes and their effects on the accounts of various groups of countries; and the general considerations regarding the character of the deficits of developing countries. The text also describes the mechanisms through which external disturbances are transmitted to the domestic economy, as well as certain questions relating to the financing of the deficits of developing countries. The changes in the world economy; the ways in which changes in the world economy affected the external accounts of the countries; and the effects of changes in the external accounts on developments in the domestic economy are also considered. The book further tackles the policy measures adopted to counter the deterioration in external balance and in growth performance and prospects; as well as the main issues that arise in the course of the adjustment process, at both national and international levels.
