Even the Smart stay Casino player features a whole list of strategies that they uses whenever playing roulette. These carefully-crafted approaches are intended to assist them to earn income, or in very least, lessen the odds of walking away from the table after a night of playing nothing in the slightest. Here, we will take a look at several of the more well-known strategies that the better players do not utilize, so neither should you! Stay away of the tactics and you'll probably relish your evening more, as well as perhaps have a successful night out on town.
As Albert Einstein once explained,"You can't beat a roulette table unless you steal money as a result". While playing with live roulette at somewhere such as Smart stay Casino, then that is not possible due to the nature of the match! So many folks take to and develop winning systems. As a result of their being so many almost evenmoney roulette stakes, the bulk of folks are inspired over time to try to triumph roulette by means of a version on what exactly is called the Martingale method mrgreen.
The Martingale system is just a plan where the gambler communicates their own bet after every loss. The reason behind achieving this is you will triumph eventually, and the win will recover all prior losses, although the only profit you earn will likely be corresponding to the first bet. Even a Smart live casino participant may not perform this although, even live roulette casinos love players that perform! Why? The strategy is flawed thanks to this house number and also the huge economic loss that may be occurred by a player. By way of instance, eight consecutive championships on Black at a dollar per bet could lead at $512 staying searched to get a 1 triumph!
Even the Fibonacci program can be also utilized by many live players. This technique is based on an all pure number progression where players start with the # one and also keep incorporating the previous two numbers as a way to get the next amount. A-player will start by betting one device and after that keep betting that before they loose. Once they've lost, they'll go to another location number from the Fibonacci sequence. Adhering to a triumph they go back a single range. After two successive wins, the player will start back again. Because the sensible stay casino participant will know even though, despite this system there's no manner of beating the home chances, though it has been demonstrated to be among many safest gambling methodologies.
Yet another style of not winning money playing live roulette is called the"Dopey Experiment". Mentioned within a"fun blackjack betting process" by Andres Martizez within his book"24/7″ about Las Vegas, the plan only involves breaking up your bankroll into 35 units and after that bet on the specific number for 35 consecutive spins. If the amount hits in that time, the wise live casino player wins their initial bankroll, and you may play with more spins with their profit. The probability of successful would be that a slightly sad 6068 percent over 3-5 spins – assuming that a double zero wheel.
The problem with all of live roulette plans, as almost any smart are living casino participant will tell you, could be your home amounts. These small green pockets give the property their advantage – without them the game is mathematically reasonable. And if there is one particular thing some other casino does not desire, it is a statistically reasonable game! A common misconception is the fact that by betting on these you may acquire the house edge. This is patently not true, and some other gambling on such numbers stands just the exact chance of coming on an interior guess.

Apparently, Google Chrome team is going to introduce a new vendor prefix in Blink, which would be used for testing and improving WebRTC features. When Google announced Blink, the rendering engine powering Chrome and a fork of WebKit, they pledged to not introduce new vendor prefix.
Chrome team, along with Mozilla and Opera, had also agreed to deprecate and unprefix vendor-prefixed properties over the time. Now, this move of relying on prefixed properties is surprising and disappointing, but the Chrome devs have proper justification for this.
It is difficult to evaluate network protocols in a lab, and WebRTC is largely about the networking between the two endpoints. For example, when we were developing SPDY, we also used live-traffic experiments". This explanation makes sense.

Q: How to remove and re-add specific objects by id into Array [jQuery] I asked a similar question here: How to remove and save object from Array
It worked when I just needed to check the type of the object ("Group" or "Organization") However I need to get more specific now and need to find objects by ID and remove / re-add them into the Array.
However when I try to adapt the code to check for an Object's id, I either can't find and remove the ID or I end up removing all the Objects from the Array.
// re-add Group to networks (This works great)
if (isChecked === 'checked') {

    var group_obj = {
        'id': name
    }

    networks.push(group_obj);

// remove Group from networks (Problem exist in the else if)
} else if (isChecked === undefined) {

    var group_obj = {
        'id': name
    }

    var removeItem = group_obj;

    var obj;
    networks = $.grep(networks, function(o,i) {

        console.log('removeItem.id = '+removeItem.id);
        console.log('name = '+name);

        if (removeItem.id === name) {
            obj = o;
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }, true);
}

console.log(networks);

Console
What my networks Array looks like before I take action on the checkboxes:
[Object, Object, Object]

0: Object
    count: 1
    id: 6
    label: "Who"
    type: "Organization"

1: Object
    id: 12622

2: Object
    id: 13452

When the checkbox to the corresponding group is unchecked, the current code above will remove all Objects from the Array are removed instead of just the specified group object.
[]

When the checkbox is then checked again, the selected group will enter the Array.
I also tried this at first:
var obj;
networks = $.grep(networks, function(o,i) {
    return o.id === name ? ((obj = o), true) : false;
}, true);

However again it does not find and remove the Object in the array with the specified id (name) but it leaves the networks Array untouched.

How would you write the else if statement to correct remove just the Object with the specified id and leave the rest of the Objects in the Array?

A: You should u se filter instead of the grep, like this :
networks = networks.filter(function (o,i) {
     return o.id !== name ? ((obj = o), true) : false;
});

James Megellas joined the U.S. army in May 1942 and saw action in Italy, Holland, Belgium and Germany. He took part in some of the most famous battles of the Second World War and is one of the most highly decorated members of the 82nd Airborne Division.
After joining the U.S. Army in May 1942, James Megellas wanted to see combat as quickly as possible. In October 1943, after months of training, he joined the 504 Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division. He first saw action with this unit in Italy where he was in charge of a platoon during battles in the Apennine Mountains and the Anzio bridgehead.
Because of the heavy losses it had suffered in Italy, his regiment stayed in England while the rest of the 82nd Airborne Division jumped into France on the 6th of June 1944 during D-Day (Operation Overlord). In September 1944 Megellas and his unit rejoined the 82nd Division during Operation Market Garden. During this operation, Megellas took part in the daring crossing of the Waal river in Nijmegen. Under murderous enemy fire the paratroopers crossed the Waal river in flimsy canvas boats, suffering heavy casualties. For his actions, Megellas was decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross. After Market Garden Megellas and his unit took part in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 and in the invasion of Germany where he witnessed the liberation of the Wöbbelin concentration camp at Ludwigslust.
In January 1946, Megellas led his company down Fifth Avenue in New York in the big Victory Parade. After the war he retired from active army service and was active in politics. He wrote a memoir of his wartime experiences called 'All the way to Berlin'.

The Battle of Nijmegen
The city of Nijmegen played an important role in Operation Market Garden. With two bridges across the Waal river it was vital for the Allied advance towards Arnhem and Germany later on. On 20 September 1944 U.S. troops managed to capture both bridges and liberate the city.
Waal crossing
One of the main objectives of Operation Market Garden was to capture the two bridges across the Waal river in Nijmegen. This task proved to be difficult. In a desperate effort to maintain the momentum, U.S. paratroopers crossed the Waal in canvas boats. Attacking from both sides, they managed to capture the bridges intact.
Beachhead at Anzio
On 22 January 1944 the Allied forces landed at Anzio. The invasion was intended to outflank German defence forces on the Gustav Defence Line and strike directly for Rome. The operation failed and the invasion force was pinned down around Anzio until the end of May.
The failure of Operation Market Garden
Operation Market Garden managed to liberate a large part of the Netherlands, but failed in its main objective: outmaneuvering the Germans with a surprise crossing of the Rhine. The Nijmegen-Groesbeek area, conquered during Market Garden, remained in Allied hands and served as a springboard for the successful Rhineland Offensive in February 1945.
Freedom Museum Groesbeek
The Freedom Museum is located in the beautiful green and hilly landscape of Groesbeek. The museum is close to Germany and right in the area of two of the most important operations on the Western Front during WW2: Market Garden and Veritable.

Okay okay so I am not a pink person at all. Don't really wear it much and the only place you will see it in my home is the odd pop of pink amongst the black, white and yellow in Frankies room.

Hiking Table Mountain along its tabletop summit – 23 October 2014
October 24, 2014 | by bonline | No Comments
Table Mountain is arguably most famous for its uncanny shape, resembling a tabletop when views from the front / north. But most people who visit Table Mountain only experience the western tip of the "Table", content only on getting a bird's eye view of the city and surroundings, and on ticking off one of Cape Town's top attractions. Extending about 1.4 miles (2.4 kilometres) end to end, the summit plateau, or upper plateau, as the "Table" is sometimes referred to offers much more than the views from the built-up precinct around the upper cable station and the shop and restaurant contained therein.
The summit plateau constitutes only about 5% of the Table Mountain massif (a mountain mass consisting of several summits or peaks). Most Table Mountain hikes are structured to top out on the 'Table" allowing for an easy walk across to the upper cable station, from where an effortless descent concludes the hike. Table Mountain hiking routes gain the summit plateau from all side, the majority of them making a beeline for the upper cable station, omitting the eastern Table, where the highest point on the mountain is located. Hikers ascending the mountain via Skeleton Gorge and the Smuts Track top out at the highest point (Maclear's Beacon) before traversing the length of the iconic tabletop to the upper station. But there is an unfrequented sector of the summit plateau that rarely sees hikers: the area around the eastern edge. Wind-sculpted rock-formations, superb views, pristine nature and perfect solitude define the area – the latter in stark contrast to the bustling and civilized western tip.
Only two vague trails lead into the area, both tricky to find. Marshes, restio beds and striking outcrops characterize the landscape. Approaching the edge of the plateau, sensational views come into view, all of it unseen from anywhere else on Table Mountain. Edging along the summit's vertiginous perimeter towards the north provides new views, to where an unique angle onto the whole of the "Table" is gained from above Silverstream Ravine.
Table Mountain walks doesn't get better than this: cable car to the summit, traverse across to the eastern edge before looping back to the upper station for a cable car descent. Practically no uphill slogging. For those hiking Table Mountain, including the eastern edge as part of your route to the summit greatly enhances the experience.


The sun looked a little hazy this morning.
I had missed the actual sunrise– the step by step unveiling of its yellow face from behind the mountains.
I was walking alongside many others making way to the Easter Sunrise Service. We looked like we were heading for a protest rally.
It might just have been true as the country has been staging protests, sit-ins and every sort of demonstration against the government since April 6, 2006.
We have had curfews, shootings, injuries, killings and hundreds of arrests.
The King remains unmoved and the citizens outraged.
I remain a little towards the apathetic end. The place I have always despised and avoided.
I am sorry to see people get beat up. It is sorrier to see the young cops do their job.
It is the shameless political leaders who are agitating the mass as the stubborn King turns a blind eye to the ongoing unrest.
Either side, the leaders are in their comfortable rooms giving orders and doing press conferences.
"You fasten your triggers for the others to fire.
Then you sit back and watch as the death count gets higher.
It is only hoped that this third day into 2063* is followed by a prettier sunrise from fourth day onwards with our selfishness and arrogances cast aside.
*Nepal follows the lunar calendar based on Hindu tradition and is 56.7 years ahead than the solar calendar currently used all over the world.
Next Post …right place at the right time.

I'm sure both of them have entirely pure intentions. They want to reach people with an unchanging, eternally relevant message- what a great ambition. Here's my problem, though: People, churches, and organizations that are relevant… don't have to talk about "relevance" at all.
If you want to be relevant, then just be relevant and stop talking about it. The minute somebody says, "We're a relevant bla bla bla reaching people bla bla bla", they're probably not as relevant as they think. Talking about cultural relevance is not culturally relevant.
The gospel is already culturally relevant. Guilt, pride, jealousy, loneliness, greed, depression, insecurity, anger, etc, etc, etc are never going away. In fact, that's why God made the gospel. Let's just be committed to bringing people grace and truth in the midst of their problems and stop talking about how culturally relevant we are.
This is not meant to be a slam against the radio station or church marquee. I just think it could be helpful for those claiming to "engage" the "younger generation" to hear from a member of that generation.
What's your reaction when you hear buzz words like these?
Allie and I were talking about this this morning and she mentioned something McDuffee said in one of her classes: "You walk among dead people and you want to be relevant? The deodorant of relevance smells like dead people." We so badly want to look like the world, talk like the world, and act like the world but… the world is dead. What do you think about his remark?
Haha well I'm smart enough not to disagree with McDuffee.. especially since I don't understand half the stuff he says. However, I don't think you can completely neglect contextualization because the gospel does take the shape of the culture it's in. Relevance is real and the church should be relevant… I just don't think they should talk about being relevant all the time. Haha I don't know if that answers your question or not.
Strong word Nate. Totally agree with you. The other problem I see with that approach is that it makes it seem like your goal is relevance instead of the Gospel. And if thats case you might as well just open a coffee shop.
Haha, that's a cool premise. Thanks for commenting. Hope you guys are doing well!
Like you said, Nate, the gospel is always relevant for all times, but the method of preaching the gospel changes depending on the times. Same gospel, different method. But what I believe culture is looking for is a church that is real instead of one that is relevant. Which is more helpful when giving advice: the friend who is culturally relevant or the friend who is always honest and transparent? Rather than following after what culture dictates as being cool, I think that churches should just be themselves and be real. Because when you're trying to be culturally relevant, you're not being real. I would rather go to a church that is authentic as opposed to a church that is contemporary any day. Conveniently, my home church is very authentic and quite contemporary, because that's how our church members truly are.
to me relevance comes from being yourself.
That is relevance, not a gimmick or a plan, but simply being yourself. People are attracted to those who know who they are and are willing to recognize others and be real.
Real is relevant. True. Thanks for reading. Bummed you're not going to the wedding, I was looking forward to hanging out.
Using terms like relevant or real seem to be defined by the ones using and reading them, which makes them difficult to deal with. Personally, I would rather see more people pursue being like Christ in attitude and action than worrying or talking about being relevant or real. After all, that is what the Apostle Paul talked about and commanded his readers his readers to do as well (imitate me as I imitate Christ). Maybe using words like "real" and "authentic" are buzz words for being Christ like, I do not know, but it would seem better to use Biblical terms that have clear meaning when discussing these issues. And especially so when this is most relevant to those who are believers, or at least should be anyway. We seem so easily molded into the cultural norms of our day rather than the Biblical ones, which may be the root of the problem.


If you're a skeptical old Battlefield grognard like me, you had your hopes low for the Battlefield 1 reveal trailer (yeah, the name is official now). Turns out it's undeniably awesome, thanks to stupidly impressive in-engine visuals, sword-equipped cavalary (??!), Zeppelins and Zeppelin gunner gameplay, sweet melee weapons (a mace and what looks like a shovel), oldschool dogfights, and destruction. Oh, and a Seven Nation Army electronic remix that somehow works really, really well.
If that doesn't get you going, well, you just hate video games.
Battlefield 1 launches October 21 on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.


Retro is a culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall post-modern past, that has since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again. The use of "retro" style iconography and imagery interjected into post-modern art, advertising, mass media, etc. It generally implies a vintage of at least fifteen or twenty years. For example, clothing from the 1980s or 1990s could be retro.

Instead of purchasing invitations and decorations I opted to make them and save money – so I could spend more on the hotel and transportation. I also decided to create fun gift bags for the attendees as well as little hangover kits that I included into the gift bags.
Since we were wine tasting and didn't have lunch scheduled I knew that we would need lots of snacks and fluids. Maybe it's the mom in me or perhaps it's just nurse Melissa speaking, but I knew that I needed to be prepared for this party.
I purchased canvas tote bags online with the intentions of screen printing them with a custom design. Well that happened to be a Pinterest fail because after everything I did the image didn't fully imprint into the screen. So after many hours of attempting and failing I ran to a store late the night before the party and bought some iron on paper and ironed on the images to the canvas totes .
Inside the totes I added things like mini jerky bags, one serving popcorn bags, protein bars , a mini one once bottle of flavored vodka, water, etc. I also printed and added a bachelorette scavenger hunt as well as a homemade hangover kit.
Inside of the hangover kit I put things like mouth wash, Ibuprofen ,Band-Aids ,vitamin-c packets , gum, etc. I placed them in cellophane bags and used twine in the bride's wedding colors, then tossed one into each of the canvas totes.
We had fun laughing and joking together; enjoying her last big shindig before she changes her last name.
It was a lot to plan, but definitely worth it.
Do you have a friend getting married this year? 'Tis the season!

BEIJING — The Chinese government has moved to tighten regulation of ride-hailing drivers and platforms, vowing to crack down on illegal activities and irregularities such as unlicensed services, privacy leaks and unfair competition.
In a joint statement issued on June 5, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and six other ministries said they will launch joint supervision of the ride-hailing industry, both for in-progress rides and after-journey services.
The joint supervisory mechanism should consist of the departments of transport, cyberspace administration, industry and information technology, public security, the central bank, taxation and market regulation administration.
Ministries are entitled to summon ride-hailing drivers and platforms for investigation and correction if unlicensed services, information leaks, tax evasion, unfair competition, illegal transactions or other irregularities occur.
Those who fail to correct the irregularities will be forced to suspend online services or be removed from App stores based on relevant laws and regulations.
The tightened joint regulation came after a 21-year-old female flight attendant using the online ride-hailing App via the country's biggest ride-sharing company Didi Chuxing was murdered by her hitch driver last month.
After the murder, Didi has come under heavy criticism online due to its loose verification process for drivers and safety measures for passengers. More than 25 million rides are made each day through Didi's App, with more than 21 million registered drivers and car owners, according to the company.
China unveiled its first nationwide regulations for car-hailing services in July 2016, granting legal status to the industry. Beijing issued a draft local regulation on the service last year, which took effect in December 2017.

Although I went to art school and studied illustration, when it comes to designing interiors I have no formal training. There are basic fundamentals (design principals) that carry across all art forms but its not necessarily a given that an artistic person can cross from one to another with grace.
This vintage inspired look is very much about comfort with a relaxed and informal air. The word bohemian is often associated with the feel. The color palette is often whites and neutrals. One of the iconic elements is a large, fluffy couch or bed and distressed furniture.
For contrast with the neutrals a splash of bold colors are sometimes added as well as shiny elements paired with distressed vintage pieces.
Sophistication and class define the French, not only as a culture but also this particular style which can be bold or soft. Personally I am attracted to the soft, more country inspired aspect of this look, which cross pollinates nicely with British: Shabby Chic.
the third style I've got going on, which isn't mentioned as one of the twenty five styles is APOTHECARY, which is a combination of: Victorian, Industrial and Gothic.
So, that's the intention, we shall see what I can manifest and how quickly! Almost all my creative energy is going into this at the moment.

The Province of Treviso, Land of mysteries
The Mysteries of the Marca Trevigiana
Welcome to the joyful Marca Trevigiana, a magnificent land full of mysteries. If you have come to discover its beauty and your curiosity is thirsty for legends and dark tales, you have come to the right place. Did you know that Treviso, together with Turin, Lyon and Prague, has been defined as a magical city since the second half of the 13th century, that is, from the time of Pietro d'Abano who taught here at the historic university? It is a story that comes from afar … There are those who say that Treviso derives from Taurisium, the name given to its founder Osiris, Noah's successor, adored after death in the form of Taurus. But it is also said that it may derive from the depiction of a female figure with three faces, placed on one of the towers erected by Antenore to defend the new city. This is just the beginning, the Treviso lands hide the spirits of sweet girls and prelates, descendants of the Collalto and the Minucci, damned souls of the Ezzelini dynasty and again, monks wandering among the ruins of an abbey, mysterious creatures of an ancient Bosco Veneziano, not to mention the disturbing shapes of the Motte di Castello di Godego and more terrible. You can live exciting experiences and discover the secrets of Treviso, Vittorio Veneto and Castelfranco. Here you can go on the trail of Templars and other ancient knights, hunting for ghosts, but also get to know the enigmatic Giorgione up close. On summer evenings or in the first mists of autumn, you can immerse yourself among jesters and acrobats, elves and goblins, in the Middle Ages or in that of the Celts, in festivals and re-enactments that bring out ancient stories. Between history and myth, reality and fantasy …
MONASTIER
The abbey of ghosts
It is well known that the older a place is, the more it arouses the attention of historians and scholars; the more remote it is in the geography of a territory, the more it awakens the curiosity of passers-by; if we are talking about the ruins of an abbey of Benedictine monks from the 10th century, this can only stimulate the imagination of those who love to invent the lives of those who have left no trace. I find no better presentation to invite you to the abbey of Santa Maria del Pero in Monastier, one of the most mysterious sites in the Marca Trevigiana. It was founded by the German emperor Otto I instead of a river port. Imagine what appeared in the eyes of the monks: a lake and wooded expanse, which they reclaimed in compliance with the rule that combined prayer with work. Inside the Romanesque cloister, roses and hydrangeas bloomed, the erbolarius offered a variety of medicinal herbs to the apothecary monk, the vineyard gave fruit and vegetables for preserves. Of all this life, marked by prayer and small industrious gestures, there remains only a semi-abandoned scenario. The rooms of the convent no longer resound with the songs of the monks, the bell tower stands silently, orphaned by hours. But someone, passing there at dusk, still has the impression of hearing a rustle, a liturgical whisper. An impression that gradually becomes real. Then non-existent bells mark hours lost in time, the windows of the cloister begin to slam, from the door of the church a light precedes a procession of monks that goes around the square, enters the abbey and climbs a staircase that has not existed for many years. Then everything vanishes as if it had never happened, blown by the wind, swallowed by the night. It goes without saying that those who told me this story, similar to many others that have been handed down over the centuries, if they ever returned to the abbey of Monastier, did it in broad daylight under an Augustan sun. And you, what time do you intend to visit it?
SAN ZENONE
The legend of the cruel Ezzelini
All castles creak with sinister noises, even those that no longer exist, but which will never disappear from legends and tales. One of these is the Ezzelini castle, built in the territory of San Zenone, home of the cruel tyrant Ezzelino III, whose death it was razed to the ground. The fortress, at the dawn of the thirteenth century, rested on the top of a hill from which still today you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Grappa massif and Montello. Ezzelino stood out for his savagery and thirst for power, which caused him many enemies, including the pope, who led a crusade against him. Ezzelino had a brother, Alberico, likewise devoted to conquest, and a sister, Cunizza, also engaged in disputes, but of a loving kind: she had three husbands and several lovers. The legends related to the castle narrate the crimes of the tyrant and the massacre of the Alberico family. It is said that Ezzelino also had the doors of the prisons bricked up without mercy for men, women and children and that the latter had their eyes plucked out. Their screams could be heard as far as the valley and, they said, their souls would cry out in eternal fear and d

Diane has demonstrated a thorough commitment to Baldrige and the Foundation's mission. She will be one of our most respected ambassadors."
"Following the Baldrige Framework for Excellence has made a tremendous impact in the communities we serve. In 2017, our work accounted for 718 lifesaving organ transplants, twice as many lives saved in a single year as when we began the Baldrige journey 15 years ago," said Ms. Brockmeier. "The criteria continue to help us make important progress toward our vision to ensure organs and tissues are always available to those in need."
Ms. Brockmeier has been with Mid-America Transplant for over 30 years, including serving as Executive Vice President and COO when it received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2015.
"After experiencing firsthand the significant impact the Baldrige criteria has made on our organization, I am honored to begin contributing as a board member for the Baldrige Foundation," said Brockmeier. "I look forward to promoting the Baldrige Enterprise and helping inspire organizations across the nation to achieve excellence in all they do."

A novel nonintrusive method to resolve the thermal dome effect of pyranometers:...
Ji, Q., S. Tsay, K. M. Lau, R. A. Hansell, J. J. Butler, and J. W. Cooper (2011), A novel nonintrusive method to resolve the thermal dome effect of pyranometers: Radiometric calibration and implications, J. Geophys. Res., 116, D24105, doi:10.1029/2011JD016466.
Traditionally the calibration equation for pyranometers assumes that the measured solar irradiance is solely proportional to the thermopile's output voltage; therefore, only a single calibration factor is derived. This causes additional measurement uncertainties because it does not capture sufficient information to correctly account for a pyranometer's thermal effect. In our updated calibration equation, temperatures from the pyranometer's dome and case are incorporated to describe the instrument's thermal behavior, and a new set of calibration constants are determined, thereby reducing measurement uncertainties. In this paper, we demonstrate why a pyranometer's uncertainty using the traditional calibration equation is always larger than a few percent, but with the new approach can become much less than 1% after the thermal issue is resolved. The highlighted calibration results are based on NIST traceable light sources under controlled laboratory conditions. The significance of the new approach lends itself to not only avoiding the uncertainty caused by a pyranometer's thermal effect but also the opportunity to better isolate and characterize other instrumental artifacts, such as angular response and nonlinearity of the thermopile, to further reduce additional uncertainties. We also discuss some of the implications, including an example of how the thermal issue can potentially impact climate studies by evaluating aerosol's direct radiative effect using field measurements with and without considering the pyranometer's thermal effect. The results of radiative transfer model simulation show that a pyranometer's thermal effect on solar irradiance measurements at the surface can be translated into a significant alteration of the calculated distribution of solar energy inside the column atmosphere.

A Little Look at Lore: Examining the Deathwing of Space Hulk: Deathwing
Keri HoneaThursday, November 08, 2018
The PlayStation systems haven't had much exposure to the Dark Angels Chapter of the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines. The PlayStation 4's first jaunt with the Chapter was with Space Hulk: Deathwing, where three members of the Dark Angels Deathwing sect explored a Space Hulk teeming with genestealers. The PlayStation Store page for the game suggests that the Deathwing is merely a name for name for the Dark Angels' First Company, that they're called such because they are the most feared company in the Chapter. However, the name "Deathwing" means far more than that for the Dark Angels. The Deathwing has a secret mission, one that will make them forsake any Emperor-laden missions in order to see theirs through.
But Do They Have a Secret Handshake?
The Deathwing is really a super secret double-probation society within the Dark Angels. The Dark Angels, the proud First Legion of the Emperor, has a secret as dark as their Librarians' armor. Only the Deathwing knows this secret, and it is one that they will kill to protect, even if it means killing other Dark Angels or Space Marines from other Chapters.
Ten thousand years before the modern-day world of WH40K, the primarch Horus betrayed the Emperor, resulting in a civil war between the Legions that lasted thousands of years. The Dark Angels and their primarch, Lion El'Jonson, were loyal to the Emperor, but they weren't 100% loyal to one another. The original First Legion Dark Angels were from Terra, like the Emperor. However, El'Jonson grew up on Caliban, and he with the Emperor forced the Terra Dark Angels to go to Caliban and join with the Caliban Dark Angels. The Terran Dark Angels were a bit bitter about their new primarch since they served with the Emperor Himself for centuries.
So during the Horus Heresy, they became even more bitter when El'Jonson took many Caliban Dark Angels with him to battle and left the Terran Dark Angels behind to guard Caliban. I'm greatly summarizing and simplifying what happened, but just know that the Dark Angels left on Caliban began to fight against one another—Terran vs. Caliban Dark Angels. When El'Jonson returned to see his planet ruined and the factions fighting, he attempted to stop the rebellion. However, the situation was too tempting for the forces of Chaos. The Chaos Gods unleashed a Warp Storm on the planet, destroying most of it. It's possible El'Jonson died in the storm, but it's just as possible that he is somewhere else since no body was found. Many of the Terran Dark Angels, however, were sucked into the warp and dropped thousands of years in the future—into the world of WH40K.
The Dark Angels call them the Fallen Angels, and the Deathwing's secret mission is to capture and execute any Fallen Angels they find. If word reaches them about a possible Fallen Angel, they pretty much drop whatever they're doing to hunt him down. They can't let the other Chapters know about the Fallen Angels, because if they do, their loyalty will be so questionable that the Chapter will be stripped and discarded. Some Inquisitors have musings about the Dark Angels' secret, but no one has ever found proof against them.
Who Are the Dark Angels Really Loyal to?
This has always been the million dollar question for the Dark Angels Chapter. They claim to be loyal to the Emperor, and yet, they're more loyal to proving they are loyal. The Dark Angels who are in the dark (heh) about their sordid history do put the Imperium of Man first. But as soon as the upper echelons grant them Deathwing privileges, then they too become Dark Angels first, Imperium second.
To be fair, new Deathwing Dark Angels don't have much of a choice. If they don't immediately swear loyalty to the Deathwing and their precious secrets, they won't live long enough to finish shaking their head "no." Then again, those who dare to refuse to keep it a secret are probably the most loyal Dark Angels of the bunch.
It's pretty crazy that we even have a video game about the Dark Angels where they aren't hunting down the Fallen. If you listen to their banter among themselves in Space Hulk: Deathwing, you will catch glimpses of their insidious past. But even if you don't, you can die happy knowing you know the rest of the (abridged) story.

Q: converting .net graphics to java I was trying to convert this code from .NET to Java, but I couldn't convert these 4 lines. Please someone give me a suggestion how to convert this code:
this.pbSubSequence = (Image) new Bitmap(this.pbSubSequence.getWidth(),
                this.pbSubSequence.getHeight());
Image image = this.pbSubSequence.Image;
Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(this.pbSubSequence.Image);

(pbSubSequence is a panel; I have four panels in this code and I have to draw sort of graph of ecg in all four of them which will be done by:
g.draw(new Line2D.Float(100f,100f,500f,500f)

(this line would run in a for loop)
Can someone help me write these lines in Java?

A: To create bitmap in Java use: BufferedImage()
To create Graphics from this image use createGraphics()
The sense of your C# code I can't figure out.

A: That day i tried this code and i almost got what i wanted
BufferedImage image=new BufferedImage(pbSubsequence.getWidth(), pbSubsequence.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
            JLabel l=new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
            Graphics graphics = image.getGraphics();
            Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) graphics;
            pbSubsequence.add(l);

where pbSubsequence is a JPanel.So i was able to convert the code from .net to java.Still left with the testing part so cant be sure if the answer is right or no.Thanks guys for help

Ruby and Red's Soft Play @ Rush, High Wycombe Review
Posted on 18th November 2019 19th November 2019 by Victoria Harlock
I was kindly invited to do a review of the new Ruby and Red's soft play area at Rush High Wycombe. It's only recently opened and I know there had been some teething issues so I left it for a little while before visiting so those issues could be ironed out. We had combined tickets so before reviewing the soft play we went into the main Rush trampoline park. You can read my review of that here.
Although I was invited to review Ruby and Red's by Rush High Wycombe, all views are my own. They did not have any input in the content of this review and they did not see it prior to publication.
That Facebook post
Shortly after Ruby and Red's soft play opened there was a less than complimentary review on Facebook which was followed by a lot of other comments. The general theme of the comments was that it's over priced, smaller than expected and there were some issues regarding ordering food. There were also some other smaller gripes. It seems that the opening was more successful than anticipated and the staff were slightly overwhelmed. To give the owners credit, the very next day they posted a letter answering many of the points raised, including altering their price structure. How many companies actually listen to feedback and act on it that quickly? I was genuinely impressed.
From the other side of the arena it seems to be relatively large and photos that I've seen also make it look fairly sizeable. One press write up also declares that a "HUGE new soft play" has opened at Rush High Wycombe. Therefore I was quite surprised by how small it is. If you have ever been to Whizz Kids (my review of that is here) then it's about the same length, but less than half the depth of the main frame.
The frame is then separated into two sections, a toddler area and a bigger kids area. It's on three floors but only the bottom two are complete floors. The top floor is only about 1/3rd of the size. They have squeezed a lot into this small space though because the individual corridors are quite narrow. On the plus side, in the juniors area it's tall enough for adults to walk around.
This photo should give you a better sense of scale. This is both the junior and toddler frames
Review of the junior frame at Ruby and Red's soft play
This is the biggest of the two areas. Both of them are space themed so you have things like space rock stepping stones, a spinning pole, giant "planet" balls and there's a funky air lock. On the top floor there's an air cannon where you're shooting balls at a rocket scene. Sadly the kids cannot get in there so you're just shooting at a target which is slightly less fun!
There's a two lane bumpy slide (covered in stars) which is actually a fairly slow slide, particularly if you're still wearing your socks from the trampoline park. If you've read the Whizz Kidz review then you'll know Middle Child broke his arm on one of these so I wasn't exactly sad it's a slow slide! That's all there really is to say about the junior frame but it's easy to get around for kids, toddlers and adults (always a bonus when you have a range of ages), it's clean and it's fun. The boys did both say they found it to be quite small. We didn't spend hours in the soft play at Ruby and Red's, but that could be because we'd already done the review in Rush and were worn out.
The air lock
The air canons
Review of the toddler soft play frame at Rush, High Wycombe
The toddler section takes up about 1/3rd of the length of the play frame. It is also on three floors BUT the floors are significantly lower in this section. The three floors are the same height as two floors in the junior frame. Adults have to crawl around to get about.
There are a couple of really nice things in this frame. There's a small ball pool which also has a air blower in it. This was permanently busy when we visited so we didn't get chance to check it out. There's a small two lane slide, some foam balls hanging from the ceiling (ie planets), a couple of dangling aliens, and a spinning pole. There's also a rocket tunnel you can climb through and look out of the window. Smallest Child LOVED that.
In order to move between levels there's a ramp to climb up. There's also some holes in the floor for toddlers to climb up and down. Smallest Child actually found these quite difficult to get through and needed help, which it wasn't exactly easy for me to give. It was easier for us to move between levels in the junior frame than the toddler one! That said she really enjoyed the slide and the spinning wheel.
Infinity mirror
The spinning pole
Small slide
The rocket ship tunnel
The baby area
The other facilities
There's a small babies' soft play area with foam shapes etc. It's also got a huge baby safe mirror and things on the walls. It was quite busy so I didn't get chance for a proper look, but it seemed good quite good.
There's a relatively small seating area in front of the play frame which was full when we arrived. There's a couple of other chairs by the entrance to the frame as well. Food and drink in this area is one of the issues that was raised. People should be told this at arrival but you CAN order food and drinks from the Ruby and Red's soft play check-in desk. The food will then be delivered to your table in the seating area. There's no need for you to carry hot drinks through the arena yourself.
I've included a review of both the cafe and the crush ice cream parlour in my review of Rush itself. Click here to read it. Over the course of the day we spoke to quite a few members of staff and, all bar one in Crush, they were great.
Admission cost
Ruby and Red's soft play only; Under 6 months – free. 6 – 12 months – £1.50. Under 3 years – £4.50. 3 – 10 years – £6.50. First adult free, subsequent adults 50p. See their website for more details.
These prices are almost exactly the same as Playtrain (which I've not been to for ages wasn't massively impressed with when I was last there). They are noticeably cheaper than both Whizz Kidz and Zoomania though.
You can buy combined tickets with the Rush trampoline park. For peak 60 minute toddler jump and soft play (+ free parent) it's £17.50. For over 4's it's £16 and there's no free adult.
Parking / How to get there
Address – Lexmark House, Cressex Business Park, Coronation Rd, High Wycombe HP12 3TZ
Parking – There is limited parking on-site but I imagine that fills up pretty quickly. At weekends the rest of the industrial estate is empty so people park in other spaces, but during the holidays I guess people may struggle to park.
There are toilets, including nappy change, on site
You're not allowed to bring your own food. There is a cafe on-site and an ice cream parlour but see comments on the main post.
Our Ruby and Red's soft play review
3.5 / 5 – It's clean and new which is a huge advantage over a lot of soft play areas! It has some nice little features like the rocket viewing holes. Whether or not you think this is big may largely depend on your expectations. If you're expecting something "huge" then you'll be disappointed. It's not as big as a stand-alone soft play but that's because it isn't a stand alone soft play.
Personally I think the price is about right, especially when combined with a bounce ticket. We had a good time, particularly Smallest Child (2) and Middle Child (7). Biggest Child (9) enjoyed it but, he would have got bored after not too long.
I think this place is really going to come into its own if you have a range of ages. The bigger kids can go and bounce and the smaller ones can go on the Ruby and Red's soft play. Surely that's the point of having the two together?? I genuinely don't have anything to complain about other than the fact it's smaller than other soft play areas. Yes, I would go back but I'm not sure if I would drive all the way from Aylesbury just for the soft play. I'd happily drive from Aylesbury if we were doing a combined ticket. As a combined ticket I'd give it 4/5.
Never miss a review! Keep up to date with my latest reviews of family days out across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire and beyond. I'll also send you the best discounts and deals I can find too. Don't worry, I won't spam you and I won't share your details with anyone else.

Massive cut on Price of luxury cars such as Mercedes, BMW of up to INR 7 lakh ahead of the GST rollout
By Lipin May 26, 2017 Updated: October 27, 2020 3 Mins Read
The prices of the luxury cars in the Indian automobile sector has gone down from INR 125000 to INR 7 lakh. This applies to those cars which are locally assembled. However, the price reduction is on the anvil for the imported luxury cars as well.
GST has become a boon for those who want to buy a luxury car in India. Mercedes-Benz and BMW have reduced their prices even before the goods and services tax is been implemented.
The Jaguar Land Rover and Audi are next in line to reduce their prices ahead of the GST rollout. The reduction in the price of the Mercedes and the BMW cars are with immediate effect.
Today Mercedes-Benz India, which is the largest luxury car maker in India, has announced a downward revision of its car prices. The reduction in price is the ex-showroom price of the current cars and also on the Post-GST ex-showroom prices. The luxury car buyer will benefit because of the "Make in India" product portfolio of the luxury car maker.
Reduction in car prices is up to 4%, effective immediately and is geared towards providing value to the customer. Mercedes-Benz has announced the reduction in prices on its S-class, E-class, C-class, M-class and the expensive Maybach series of cars to name a few.
Roland Folger, who is the Managing Director and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India told the press, that they are passing the benefits of post GST pricing with the locally assembled cars to the customer with immediate effect. He emphasised that the company is looking to give the GST tax benefits at an earlier stage at the cost to the company. This would highly favour those who want to purchase the car in the month of June.
While locally assembled cars are seeing the benefit of GST. The electric car maker such as Tesla is finding it difficult to enter the car market because of 30% local sourcing rule.
The entire gamut of price reduction will be around 2-9 percent, depending on factors such as the tax structure and the local tax rates of the state. The weighted average comes out to be around 4% to the end user or the customer of the luxury cars.
At a time when Chevrolet is existing the Indian car market, the GST has come as a blessing for the other car manufacturers. This would increase or at least stabilize the jobs in this sector to great extend.
The impact of GST on the prices of CBU vehicles is yet to come to the realisation. The carmakers are confident that this is a right step in direction of good economic growth for the country. Across the luxury car makers, the GST is a welcome step benefitting both the carmaker and the customer.

Rob Pelliccia
Rob Pelliccia joined CBSM as a teacher in 2013 for all four Years (A, B, C, & D). While he has been a Catholic all his life, he started to become more interested in the Faith as his kids grew older. By reading the Bible and listening to Biblical audio tapes, he gradually developed the courage to lead a Bible study at his church and has continued to do so for over 15 years.
When he retired, he headed back to school to get his Master's Degree in Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary and began teaching at CBSM in 2013. As a car fanatic, he enjoys bringing in examples from the automotive industry into his teaching to illustrate his point.
His favorite Scripture is Colossians 3:12-14, " Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony "
In his free-time, Rob enjoys restoring classic cars, including his 340 Duster. His current project is restoring a '68 Charger.
Fun fact: Rob played in a band in his younger days!

"It's certainly an experience," Donegal man Pat Doherty (above) said at the launch of IMMA's new Lucien Freud Collection. Pat sat for Lucien on three separate occasions. "The first painting took 100 sittings, the second was 85 sittings and the third sketch was 35 sittings," he said. "Each sitting took three hours. So it was a lot of time."
And what did he make of the final product? "Well, they're not pretty. I told Lucien I might grow into them - in 30 years' time."
