DF-21 medium-range missile system
The DF-21 (Dong Feng-21) medium-range mobile missile system is designed to strike the enemy's administrative and political centers, control centers and small area targets: airfields, seaports, power plants, oil and gas terminals.
The main developer of the Df-21 complex is the Second Aerospace Academy of China, now China Changfeng Mechanics and Electronics Technology Academy (CCMETA). CCMETA is part of China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation.
The DF-21 program at the Second Aerospace Academy has been in operation since 1976 and has been parallel to the development of the first solid-fuel submarine missile, the Juilan-1 (JL-1). The DF-21 missile was originally designed as a nuclear weapon carrier and its design made extensive use of the JL-1 hull and engine developments. The chief designer of both programs was Juan Vailu.
On May 20, 1985, the first successful flight test of the DF-21 was conducted at the 25th rocket base (Ujai). Two years later, in May 1987, a second flight test was conducted there. In 1988, the DF-21 was successfully completed, but no decision was made to put it into service.
In 1986, in parallel with the tests, work was started to create an upgraded version of the DF-21A, the main feature of which was an extended range. After a number of failures, the first successful flight test of the DF-21A took place in January 1995 at a 25-rocket base. This was followed by successful launches in August and November 1995, and in 1996 the initial operational readiness of the DF-21A was achieved and it was adopted for service by the Second Artillery Corps of PLA.
Later the complex was repeatedly upgraded and served as a basis for the development of new weapons. In addition to the D-21A, the following modifications of the DF-21B, DF-21C and DF-21D are known. The last modification, DF-21D, is currently the only anti-ship ballistic missile in the world.
On July 23, 2002, China, according to official representatives of U.S. intelligence, conducted flight tests of DF-21 ballistic missile equipped with a missile defense breakout system. U.S. intelligence satellites tracked the missile's flight from the start to the fall in western China. The range of the flight was about 2010km. Made from the satellite photos of the fall area allowed to conclude that the missile carried six or seven false targets of the missile defense breakout system.
DF-21 missile was used during tests of the Chinese anti-satellite weapons system. Thus, on 11.01.2007 the mass media reported on successful testing of this system: the upgraded DF-21 missile (possibly designated SC-19) successfully injected into a low Earth orbit the KKV kinetic interceptor, which successfully struck the Chinese weather satellite Fengyun 1C (FY-1C), which was put out of service. It was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre. The target was intercepted at an altitude of 537 km above the central regions of China on a counter course at 8 km/s. Earlier, U.S. intelligence reported on two SC-19 DA-ASAR flight tests in 2005 and 2006, during which no relay target interception was performed.
It is estimated that PLAAF has up to 100 DF-21 missiles deployed in Liaoning, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Fujian, Qinghai provinces. The position areas of DF-21D anti-ship missiles in the Changbaishan Mountains enable PLA to control the straits connecting the Sea of Japan with the world's oceans. The U.S. Naval Base on the island of Guam is also in the area of destruction.
In 2014 the information on deliveries of DF-21C complexes to Saudi Arabia was published.
DF-21A/B (CSS-5 Mod1/2)
The DF-21 is a two-stage solid propellant rocket with a detachable head end (MS). The engines are equipped with charges of mixed fuel based on polybutadiene with hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene end groups.
The DF-21A rocket is equipped with an inertial control system with a digital computing complex providing a circular probable deviation (RVD) of 300-400m. Further control system improvement allowed to reduce CVO to 100-300m for DF-21B.
The weight of the missile head part is 600 kg. As a warhead, the DF-21A can carry a monoblock nuclear charge of up to 500 kg or be equipped with various types of non-nuclear warheads. Information on the presence of fragmentation, chemical and cassette warheads has been published.
Launching unit (PU) of DF-21A complex is located on the HY4260S road train with the payload capacity of 26.5 t and towed by the HY-472 tractor (see photo1, photo2, photo3, photo4). Tractor HY-472 with 6x6 wheel configuration is equipped with a V-shaped 12-cylinder diesel engine BF12L413F with an output of 325KW at 2500 rpm.
Dimensions of the semitrailer HY4260S - 7460h2580h3050m, weight - 11.5 t. On the semitrailer there is a transport and launch container (TPC) with a rocket, starting equipment, lifting and fixing mechanisms. Diameter TPK-2m.
In the combat position the TPK rests on four hydraulic jacks, which provide verticalization of the container before launch. The semitrailer is additionally equipped with six jacks to unload the running gear and ensure the stability of the PU during the launch of the missile. Preparation time for launch is 10-15 minutes. Launch of the rocket - mortar (see photo), is carried out directly from the transport and launch container with the help of special PAD, placed on the bottom of the TIC. The first stage marching engine is switched on after the rocket leaves the container.
The DF-21A battery includes three launchers, a command post, a power supply vehicle, technical and launch position ground equipment vehicles (6 pcs.).
The disadvantages of the DF-21A include: its considerable weight and insufficient mobility. On combat duty, the DF-21A complexes are located in stationary shelters (including rock tunnels) and secretly move between them. According to the published information, the combat application is assumed from the shelters and from the previously prepared patrol route points.
DF-21C (CSS-5 Mod3)
A radically improved complex of the DF-21 family, designated DF-21C, was first demonstrated in 2006. (see photo1, photo2, photo3, photo4, photo5, photo6, photo7).
The main difference of the new variant was the location of the launcher and auxiliary equipment on one chassis of the WS2500 with the wheel arrangement 10x10 and payload capacity of 28 tons. DF-21C has more mobility and secrecy, can move on general purpose roads.
DF-21C rocket is equipped with a new inertial control system and is combined with the national satellite navigation system BeiDou, which allowed to increase the accuracy of guidance up to 30-40m KVO. The weight of the head unit is -2000 kg, maximum firing range is 1700 km.
The missile's flight control during the first stage engine operation seems to be carried out by deflecting the engine nozzles, during the second stage engine operation - by injecting gas into the critical part of the nozzle. Separation of stages is provided by opening the counter-retraction nozzles in the front part of the first stage.
The nuclear version of the head end is equipped with three small-size 90Kt combat units and a missile defense breakthrough complex with a set of heavy and light decoys.
The non-nuclear version of the missile can carry various types of combat units, including electromagnetic ballistic missiles, which provide failure of electronic equipment, detection and communication systems of the enemy. For flight control and anti-missile maneuver on the final section of the trajectory at atmospheric entry, the DF-21C head unit is equipped with aerodynamic rudders.
DF-21D (CSS-5 Mod4)
The DF-21D is the only anti-ship ballistic missile designed to destroy aircraft carrier strike teams at long range.
Initial data for firing can be provided by satellite or airborne target designation systems, over-the-horizon radars.
In the descending section of the trajectory, after the head end, its flight speed reaches 10M. Guidance in the passive section is provided by radar CNS, with signal processing by the onboard digital computer system. Judging by the published information, this section is controlled by aerodynamic rudders on the head end and a gas-jet correction unit.
It is difficult to judge the technical perfection of the homing system and combat efficiency of the DF-21D due to the obvious lack of information. However, it can be assumed that the DF-21D's short flight time (about 12 min.), high flight speed and large dive angles to the target, detachable head end make the task of intercepting the DF-21D difficult using any of the existing missile defense technologies.
The R-27K missile for a similar purpose, developed in the USSR in 1974, was never adopted for service.

07.04.2009 Successful test of the Arrow-2 block 4 missile. Ankor Cahol (Blue Sparrow) target launched by Israeli Air Force F-15 fighter from a distance of about 1000 km was intercepted over the Mediterranean Sea. The EL/M-2080 Green Pine radar and the American forward-based mobile radar (FBX-T) AN/TPY-2, deployed in the Negev in late 2008, took part in the test.
On 27.07.2010 the USA and Israel concluded an agreement on joint development of a new Arrow-3 missile system. According to the document, Israel will receive $100 million from the United States to work on this BMD system.
On 22.02.2011 the USA and Israel jointly tested the upgraded Arrow-2 anti-missile. The missile was launched on the California coast and was considered successful - the missile hit a ballistic target launched from a U.S. Navy ship. This test was the second one in which the full Arrow BMD system, including the EL/M-2080 Green Pine radar, took part.
29.07.2011 Successful first test of the Arrow-3 anti-missile system. The missile successfully hit the conventional enemy's ballistic target missile.
10.02.2012 Testing of the Arrow-2 block 4 anti-missile, as part of the complex. Detection and tracking of the target launched from an Israeli Air Force fighter was performed for the first time using the EL/M-2080S Super Green Pine radar. After the information was transmitted to the Citron Tree combat control system, an intercept team was formed and no actual missile launch was conducted.
25.02.2013 Israel Defense Ministry announced a successful flight test of the Arrow-3 complex over the Mediterranean Sea. The interceptor reached a flight altitude of 100km, the flight lasted 6 minutes.
03.09.2013 Israel Missile Defense Organization and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (U.S.) announced the first flight test of a new target "Ankor Shahor" ("Black Sparrow"). The test was conducted at an Israeli test site in the Mediterranean Sea. The targets were launched at 9:15 a.m. The test was conducted at the Israeli test site in the Mediterranean Sea. The radar Super Green Pine of Arrow complex detected the target and provided escort, the information received was transmitted to the combat control system Citron Tree. According to the Israeli Defense Ministry, all elements of the missile defense system worked out as usual.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that the radar station of the Russian missile warning system, located in Armavir, detected the launch of two ballistic missiles from the Mediterranean Sea towards Syria. According to the Russian side, both objects fell into the sea.
09.09.2014 Testing of the Arrow-2 ABM system to intercept the Ankor Shahor target (see photo). Interception failed.
03.01.2014 According to the press-service of the Ministry of Defence, the second test of the Arrow-3 ABM system took place at the Palmakhim airbase. At 08:00, the Arrow-3 missile interceptor successfully entered the calculated flight path in the upper atmosphere, in accordance with the test plan. All systems worked out in the normal mode.
09.09.2014 The Israel Defense Ministry announced that the advanced Arrow-2 ABM system had been tested. The purpose of the tests, conducted with the assistance of the Pentagon, was to test the effectiveness of the new version of the system against future potential threats. Later on the Israeli media published information that the tests failed.
16.12.2014 Failed tests of the Arrow-3 anti-missile. The Israeli Defense Ministry reports that problems occurred during the launch of the missile.
10.12.2015 The Israel Defense Ministry reported the successful test of the Arrow-3 BMD system (see photo). The interceptor missile was launched at 8:10 local time and successfully intercepted the target outside the atmosphere. It was launched from the Palmachim military base at the Anchor Shahor target fired by an Air Force aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea.

Homeasy Estate Agents
Homeasy's Sky AdSmart commercial was produced as part of a wider campaign to launch them into an already highly competitive and saturated market. The commercial needed to resonate and appeal to their target market and to make them stand out above their competitors.
We chose to shoot the Sky AdSmart commercial by casting and featuring 'real' people. This included families, couples, individuals and a kid's football team from the local area, instead of actors, which created a sense of community that felt trusting, familiar and authentic.
The Sky AdSmart commercial we produced for their launch campaign resulted in them selling over £9,000,000 worth of houses.
To add value and expand the Sky TV campaign's audience reach even further, we chose to work with one of the UK's most popular Instagram influencers. Not only was she the perfect fit for our client, but she also had a loyal and dedicated following of 52.4K. We filmed the 30-second advert in her home where she presented and demonstrated the product and subsequently promoted this through her social media channels.
The combination of TV and social media exposure put the clients' product in front of an existing and new audience, creating a huge spike in interest in the brand and Silhouette product range and a huge increase in social media following.
Fantastic channels, great ROI
There are many advantages to advertising through Sky AdSmart, however, one of the key benefits is the Return on Investment (ROI) the platform sees. Whilst adverts are played to smaller audiences, those audiences are far more engaged, and are much more likely to engage with the brand.
As an example of Return on Investment using Sky AdSmart, Sky worked closely with one of their clients targeting just 2 postcode areas; this resulted in over £200,000 impressions of their TV advert and 270 qualified leads, working out at a cost per view of just 5p, which is even cheaper than running a paid Facebook campaign.

So what is ACC Publishing Ink? It's a kid, trying to follow his childhood dreams of creating stories, assisted by some friends crazy enough to help him on this weird adventure. There are three divisions- Purple, Pink, and Blue- which work with each other to produce fun and original new content and ideas.
Craig wrote The Valley Chronicles and plans to continue with the series. He expects it to be a trilogy, because three is his favorite number and also, plot reasons. Besides this, he writes, directs, and draws almost everything else in ACC Pub Ink. He plays ice hockey (not well) and enjoys acting and singing.
Seems to know a lot of restaurant owners.
Craig's former hockey team manager, english table partner, and general confidante, Lexxi has a wide range of talents and hobbies including guitar, softball, theater, piano, art, and, as mentioned earlier, team management. Poised to major in Sports Management at FIT, Lexxi was also set to color Squirrel Academy before it went on indefinite hiatus, and is now working on developing another project with Craig.
Lexxi is also fantastic at listening to Craig rant, which is good, because Craig often has a lot to rant about. Fun fact: she is also a twin.
Hard enough to get a hold of before she joined the Air Force.
Cristin Von Schlag is a goddess among humanity currently serving her country and diving at the Air Force Academy in Colorado, coming off successful careers as a Shodan in Budo Taijutsu (I don't know what this means but I know it's impressive. Google it.) and as a consistent leader in the Boy Scouts of America through their co-ed Venturing program.
Also a book lover and Brooklyn 99 fanatic, it was a miracle Craig got her as long as he did to co-star, co-write, and co-create two with him.
Despite not knowing Craig at all, Olivia came onto two midway through production and carried it super hard, completely obliterating her sleep schedule to put together the 5+ hour first season with only limited help from Matt and Craig. Besides being a talented editor, Olivia participates in Circus and Krav Maga and a number of other things that came in handy at surprising points in two.
Somehow edited a whole freaking webseries.
Check out her phenomenal work below!
Has a really cute dog.
Sophie Shen is really busy basically 24/7 yet she still somehow finds time to do all of her homework. Besides being an incredible artist, Sophie also volunteers with Man in the Mirror, plays tennis for her school's varsity team, and acts as an Officer-at-Large for her school's branch of Future Business Leaders of America. She also has an Etsy which I have provided a very helpful button to below.
Sophie illustrated The Valley Chronicles paperbacks.
Craig has known Jenette since Junior Year when she and Jordan Lowman made World History AP a lot funnier, but, somewhat awkwardly, does not know much about her. He knows she's good at art, hence her ability to draw breathtaking covers for the Valley Chronicles hardcovers, that she can sing, and that she is funny, but not much else. That is where Lexxi, Jenette's fellow hockey manager, comes in.
According to Lexxi, Jenette likes video games. She used to play soccer when she was like nine and has the best stories about it. Jenette also has a cute dog named Jedi. One time Anna Hovet was so excited to see him, she accidentally punched Lexxi in the face and gave her a bloody nose.

Melbourne University researcher Behnaz Heydarchi is part of a team that has found cows could be used to produce antibodies that defend against HIV virus.
Daily Mail: Researchers found that cows could be used to produce antibodies that defend against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The animals can't contract the disease themselves.
A team from Melbourne University worked with Australian biotechnology company Immuron Ltd to develop the milk.
The scientists, led by Dr Marti Kramski, vaccinated pregnant cows with an HIV protein and studied the first milk that cows produced after giving birth.
There's nothing new about this wrok. Dairy cows have been vaccinated to improve their antibody levels for quite a long time. The colostrum from these cows is called "hyper-immune colostrum' and has found many applications in functional foods and pharmaceuticals as its immunoglobulin level is very high. This product has been used for the last two decades in boosting immune system in HIV patients and the like.
What this team is claiming is cashing on the hard works of other scientists in Australia and elswhere, and what they're offering is just 'snake oil' !!! nothing less!

KIM Kardashian has pleaded with YouTube to try and stop the disturbing Momo challenge.
Mum-of-three Kim Kardashian West has pleaded with YouTube to try and stop the disturbing Momo challenge, amid claims the haunting character has appeared on the site.
Momo is a scary looking character with bulging eyes and an oversized menacing smile that is believed to encourage cyber bullying through social media and mobile phones.
It is reported that users contact Momo, who then sends them dangerous tasks to complete.
If a user fails to complete the task, they then see graphic threats.
On Wednesday, Kim took to Instagram to slam the horrific craze in front of her 129 million followers, posting a string of heartfelt posts from worried parents before tagging YouTube and saying: "Please help".
Kim wrote: "Beware! This was just sent to me about what's being inserted in YouTube Kids. Please monitor what your kids are watching!"
A spokesperson for the site reportedly told TMZ if the videos do exist, it would be removed immediately and is a complete violation of their policies.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim is not the only one to blast the horrific challenge.
Pregnant Stacey Solomon has revealed she fears for her children's safety after an online challenge which has been linked to the suicide of a 12 year old has made its way to the UK.
She admitted she's horrified that her children Zachary, 10, and six year old Leighton could come across the Momo challenge.
She wrote: "Okay what the *** is Momo and why have I had to see this horrific thing about 22 times in a week.
She then shared a WhatsApp message and a Facebook message that she had received warning her about the challenge.


I would like to add a search box onto my site that will show pictures when someone searches for an item. Right now I have a google search box and it only brings up text results.
Any suggestions for this? Will the paid google search box do this?
I don't think the paid Google Search box will do any different. However, you can create you own search using a product call Sphinx Search. It is open source. Basicly it will allow you to text searches on your database. You structure the result as you want. However, this result does require you to know how to program.
Thanks nealrm. I'm hoping to find one that doesn't require programing.
I don't think you are going to find anything that doesn't require programming. There are probably scripts that are close to plug and play on hotscripts.com. But they will most likely need some customization. What you are trying to do isn't a lot of programming time for a good programmer. You can probably get it done for a few hundred dollars.
Okay. I will open this up to programmers here. Look at my site & see if it can be added to my hosting site. I really want something that I can go back in and change myself as my product changes, if possible.
I'll echo the thoughts about needing this programmed, however I think it's likely to cost more than a few hundred dollars. From what I can see it looks like your site is all html and isn't being run by a content management system. Search usually works by searching through a database, but if your site isn't running with a database it's probably not going to be a simple matter of coding search functionality. There's likely going to be more work involved.
If I'm mistaken and your site is running on a content management system with text and images stored in a database then it's probably not too difficult to code, but if everything is a static html page, I think it might take more work.
You are right vangogh. I probably need to wait til I'm ready for a complete site upgrade. Thanks for taking a look.
Vangogh is right, I was assuming there was a database there when I suggested a few hundred dollar figure.
Bill I had a feeling you figured it was a database driven site. That was my first instinct when I took a look, but then I noticed all the .html extensions.
I probably need to wait til I'm ready for a complete site upgrade. Thanks for taking a look.
Obviously when you do that is up to you, but just so you know there are some free and low cost options for ecommerce. Odds are most will have built in search too. I realize you didn't start this thread to overhaul your entire site, but if you're considering it at all let us know. We can point you in a few directions that wouldn't necessarily cost much.
Do you think your commerce site should reach a certain dollar amount before you upgrade? Would a site like my type keep you from getting to a higher level?
Nope. You have to play to win from the onset. That whole "I want to see if it makes any money first before I go all in" strategy is defeatist.
You learn as much as you can about what you are doing, insure that it is indeed a viable, decide what is the best strategy to target your market and make sales, and you execute to win.
It doesn't happen over night. You'll have to make ajustments along the way. Some of the things you try will fail and others will succeed. Over time, you come up with a formula that works for your business.
You can't do that if you are just dipping a toe in the water.
However, in this instance, if adding a search box will cost just as much or more than putting the site on a CMS which already has search capabilities, and gives you more functionality, don't spend on just the search bar. Get the entire overhaul.
You could check out Swiftype (https://swiftype.com/), though I'm not sure if it can do the full image search you're looking for. If you're using WordPress it has a plugin that'd make setup relatively easy. They just launched recently, but I'm pretty sure they still have a free plan.
Ya, you really should do it right from the onset. Otherwise you are duplicating work.
For an ecommerce site you really need a CMS driven site such as workpress. That will allow you to easily add, change, products, prices etc.
Do you think your commerce site should reach a certain dollar amount before you upgrade?
I'll echo what Harold and Bill said above. I don't think you should just wait until the site brings in a certain amount of money to invest in it. Many businesses won't make money until after there's been some kind of investment. Think about it. Imagine you said the same thing before putting up a site. How would you you ever have made a sale through the site to earn enough to get the site built in the first place. Obviously a certain amount of investment (whether money or time) was needed before you could bring some money in.
Similarly you may not bring in the revenue you want now to pay for the upgrade until after first paying for the upgrade. A part of what makes for business success is believing in your business and taking the risk.
Having said that I don't want you to automatically rush out and start throwing money at the site thinking it's all you need to do or that it's something you have to do. You should invest in the site because you think that investment will help your business. If you think the business should be taking in more revenue the first step is trying to identify why it isn't?
Do enough people visit the site?
Do enough people who find the site end up making a purchase?
If no, each question has a variety of different solutions and more questions to ask to further figure out where to invest. Another question is do you currently have a way to determine either of the above. It looks like you have Google Analytics installed so you are collecting some data. So is traffic good enough? Can you tell what people are doing on the site once they get there?
Maybe we can help you make the determination about where it makes the most sense to invest in the site.
Thanks for your imput, vangogh. I've been reading some of the other threads on the forum, such as "hiring a web designer/marketer" and this seems to be a popular subject with related themes.
I think there is still potention in my current site, but you ended your post with a very relevant statement- how to determine where it make the most sense to invest in the site. My time, budget and knowledge are limited and I know I can use some outside help. But deciding what to do first and who to trust to help is a confusing issue. I do not believe in "throwing money" at anything without a plan.
I do use Google Analytics to a certain extent, but don't really understand it enough to take advantage of it. I have a stat counter in place which I do find very valuable in seeing what search terms people use to find me & where they come from. That helps me choose my keywords on my site and when I use adwords.
I agree that it takes a long time and a lot of attention to your site to get good rankings on the search engines. I've been at it long enough to have good placement for many of my search terms (in top half of first page), but need better conversion on the traffic I do have. I know a few things I can do, but then I circle back around to what should I do first!

If you just sit back and try to comprehend everything alone, you will never make a move. Why not just ask around?
Maybe pay for an hour of someone's time who can listen to where you want to go, and consult with you about where your shortcomings are, and suggest some directions to take to acheive your goals.

You just narrowed in on exactly what you need to concentrate on. Your website isn't converting. So until you fix that, spending more time and money on trying to get traffic is a waste. Right?
Look at your competitors or simular niche sites that seem to be successful. Look at what they are doing.
If you've determined that the website is the problem, now you have a direction and can start moving in a straight line investigating what is going to be the best solution for you to get that done. Once you have that figured out, you can work on finding someone to work with and put the redesign plan into action.
Maybe it's a complete overhaul, and maybe it's just some changes to what you already have. But one thing you know for sure is that, as is, it's not working.
Everything you do online hinges on your website. That's where people put the money into the register. If it's not ready for prime time, everything else is a waste of time.
Thanks for your imput, Harold.
Once again I'll echo what Harold said. You shouldn't just throw money at the problem. The first step is understanding what might be the problem (if there is any) and then you can figure out how to spend money to solve the problem.
It does sound like you're getting traffic and the problem is more one of converting the traffic. That does suggest improvements to the site are likely where you want to spend, but we can probably dig more into your analytics. You can add one of us to your analytics account and let us see your stats if you're comfortable sharing. You add the email address we use for our analytics and Google will show us your data inside our accounts. I certainly don't mind taking a look to see if I can offer some help. There are things beyond the basics that can be set up with analytics so you can get better information like connecting most everything to the revenue the site brings in. That way you can see which keywords lead to sales and which don't.
Sphinx or Solar can index plain HTML pages, too.
Zoom (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/) sounds like it will do what you want, including image search. It says it's "free for small sites" though I don't know how they define "small."

Alien crosses genres and mediums, blending performance and movement, video and costume. It explores the current situation in Latinx immigrant communities in the US and Romagoza's experience as a recent immigrant coming from Cuba. The project is inspired by the Queens NY neighborhood where the artist lives since 2011. Alien seeks to give visibility to a community that society ignores and delegitimizes as it also reveals utopian visions of the American dream. Choreographer/performer Priscilla Marrero improvises movement, responding to Romagoza's conceptual garment and video content. The video includes interviews with –Aliens-, immigrants from Queens, particularly non-U.S. naturalized citizens; also scenes of everyday life.

Dojo Madness has raised $4.5 million to launch LOLSumo, a real-time coach that helps League of Legends gamers improve their esports skills.
Berlin-based Dojo Madness wants to exploit machine learning to help provide actionable analytics and other tips for esports fans. The round was led by March Capital Partners, with the Investment Bank of Berlin (IBB), and existing investors London Venture Partners and DN Capital.
The company has has created a set of tools that harness the power of the latest innovations in machine learning to help gamers improve their skills. Dojo Madness' first product, LOLSumo is a real-time coach for League of Legends. It provides personalized guidance while considering the user's teammates and opponents. The app has been downloaded more than 500,000 times since its launch last September, and the app delivers insights for 70,000 daily active users.
LoLSumo suggests the best build and provides users with hints and tips specific to that champion as well as his or her chosen mastery/summoner spell combinations. For instance in the attached screenshot, you will see a hint specific to the champion Jhin which outlines his Deadly Flourish ability.
After each game LoLSumo provides the user with a performance badge based on global averages vs his or her current rank and highlights specific performance metrics from within the game. Creep Score, Kill/Death/Assist Ratio, Wards placed, Damage Dealt to Champions and Gold Per Minute are some example metrics.
The new funding round will be used to expand Dojo's coaching apps to other esports titles, as well as to expand into new data services in esports. The app still has a long way to go in attracting League of Legends fans, which as the world's most popular game has more than 67 million people playing each month.
Dojo Madness was founded in December 2014 by Jens Hilgers, Markus Fuhrmann, and Christian Gruber. Hilgers is an esports veteran. Since graduating with a degree in software development in the late '90s, he founded and led multiple startups in the tech, games, and esports.
In 2000, Hilgers founded Turtle Entertainment. As CEO for ten years, he grew the company into the a world-famous esports brand. In 2010, he became chairman of Turtle Entertainment, and last year, Swedish digital entertainment giant Modern Times Group (MTG) acquired 74 percent of Turtle Entertainment, for a total consideration of €74 million (or $83 million).
Hilgers moved to Berlin and began to actively invest in startups in the gaming space. He founded Bitkraft eSports Ventures, an investment company focused on esports. Dojo Madness has raised $6.75 million to date, and it has 33 employees and is hiring.
Markus Fuhrmann has over 10 years of experience working internationally as a founder and an investor, most notably, he is a co-founder of one of Berlin's biggest success stories, Delivery Hero.
Rivals include LoLNexus and LoLKing. But Dojo Madness says it is the only app out there that offers real-time, personalized insights with a mobile first and second screen approach.

Feminist 'Surviving Me' Trailer Shows The Dark Side Of College — EXCLUSIVE
College can be a rough time for anyone. And if you're Sophie, the heroine of the new movie Surviving Me ? "Rough" doesn't begin to describe it. In the indie dramedy, out Sept. 21, Sophie (Christine Ryndak) attempts to balance class, friendships, and romance both with a fellow student and a married professor — all while exploring her love for poetry, and falling deeper and more dangerously into her own version of Dante's Inferno.
Sounds just like how you spent your four years at school, right? Actually, despite its high stakes, Surviving Me (full name: Surviving Me: The Nine Circles Of Sophie), written and directed by Leah Yananton, revolves around your pretty typical college experience (minus the whole circles of hell thing, of course). Minus a few dramatics, Sophie's experience isn't unique; like so many others her age, she struggles to find her voice and pursue her passions while learning to navigate the confusing world of sex and romance. She takes risks, makes mistakes, experiences adventure and fear and loss. She's your average 20-year-old on a journey of self-discovery, albeit with a bit more pressure from her poetry-filled mind than most.
Surviving Me looks to be a fascinating and important film, thanks to its boldness in taking on topics ranging from female friendship to the death of a loved one. It features an impressive cast, with newcomer Ryndak surrounded by actors including Vincent Piazza (Boardwalk Empire), Mira Furlan (Lost), and Fredric Lehne (The Dark Knight Rises). Check out the exclusive trailer for the film, below, and be sure to catch it later this month (it premieres at the Hollywood Film Festival on Sept. 25). Whether you're a college student like Sophie or just looking back on those years with nostalgia, the poignant story of Surviving Me will surely resonate.

Update: We've now seen evidence of the Maple Gold and Deep Sea versions of the Note 8 – read on below to see a photo of the upcoming phone.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 phablet is confirmed for a launch on August 23 and rumors for the phone are now coming through to us thick and fast.
We've even had word on the colors for the new phablet, so below you can work out what shade you'd like to buy the phone in when it appears on shop shelves.
Everything below is simply rumored though, not confirmed, and Samsung may change the color range for the phone at any time.
Also be aware that not all colors will likely launch in the same markets, there will probably be some variation depending on where you live.
Twitter leaker Roland Quandt has said the Galaxy Note 8 will launch in at least three shades, and one of them is a color he calls Deep Blue. Since then, the color in question popped up in a render via Evan Blass. It shows the phone, as well as the S Pen, clad in the Deep Blue color.
Whether that will be the official title when Samsung launches the phone remains to be seen though.
The Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus and the Galaxy Note 7 all launched with a Blue Coral color, but it looks like Samsung may be opting for a darker shade of blue for its next device.
The Galaxy Note 8 will likely come in black, just like the Galaxy Note 7. Above you can see an image of the black Galaxy S8 and we'd expect the black Note 8 to be a very similar shade to that Samsung device.
Twitter leaker Evan Blass has shared a leaked marketing shot for the Galaxy Note 8 in Midnight Black too, which you can see below.
Orchid Grey is a mainstay color for the Samsung phone brand at the moment and Quandt mentions it in his tweet. That suggests we will see the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in a very light shade for those who don't want a dark colored phone.
When Blass shared images of the Galaxy Note 8 it seemed to confirm the phone will come in the Maple Gold color we saw for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
The tweet above shows our first look at the Galaxy Note 8 in Maple Gold, but be warned this color may be restricted to just one market. The Gold Galaxy S8 range was only available in Australia so it may be a similar affair here.
Despite leaks showing us almost every aspect of the Galaxy Note 8, Samsung may have some surprises up its sleeve for the launch on August 23.
We expect to see the colors above announced, but there may be others to follow as well so if you're not happy with these shades, you may be in luck. We won't know for certain what colors are coming to market until toward the end of August this year.

Over the years, fishermen have requested faster and more powerful Elec-Tra-Mate® models. Today's Elec-Tra-Mates now have considerably more power than the drag on the reels can handle. Not realizing the extreme power of the Elec-Tra-Mate® when large fish are hooked, there is a tendency by the fisherman to continue tightening his drag in an attempt to bring the fish to the boat faster. When this happens, the Elec-Tra-Mate® exerts more torque on the threads inside the Brass Gear Sleeve inside the Penn® Reel than they are designed to handle and they start to strip. Over a period of time, because of this extreme power, the threads eventually fail, rendering the reel useless.
Brass Gear Sleeve failure often leaves the recreational and commercial fisherman without the use of this Elec-Tra-Mate® until his Penn® Reel is repaired. Seldom is the fisherman given warning of his reels impending failure. At the request of tackle stores who repair these big game reels, and fishermen who use our products, we now offer a stronger replacement Gear Sleeve machined from Solid Stainless Steel to eliminate this problem. The Stainless Steel Gear Sleeve is manufactured entirely in the company's North Carolina factory, and comes with a 90 day parts warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

John Dowland is one of England's greatest composers. In his lifetime, he was acknowledged as an outstanding lutenist, and his songs have always been popular. Dowland's distinctive hallmark as a songwriter is his uncanny skill at creating a suitable musical atmosphere for a poem. In 1610, John's son Robert Dowland (1591-1641), a minor composer of the time, assembled a collection of works by third-party composers entitled A Musicall Banquet and put his own name to it. His father is the most famous of the composers included; there is a suggestion that he helped his 19 year-old son with assembling the collection, hoping that the attribution would launch the young man's musical career. The musical net of the collection is cast wide, with French and Italian composers as well as English. It was the first collection of lute songs to take this approach, presenting a cross-section of European solo songs c.1600.
Nigel Rogers began singing at an early age as a boy treble and later became a choral scholar at King's College, Cambridge. After graduating he went first to Italy and then to Germany, where he studied at Munich's Hochschule für Musik. During the early 1960s he toured all over the world before returning to England, where he began to take a greater interest in Baroque music. He is accompanied here by first-class musicians: lutenists Anthony Bailes and Paul O'Dette, gambist Jordi Savall.

Canon 760D vs Nikon D3200
The Canon EOS 760D (called Canon T6s in some regions) and the Nikon D3200 are two digital cameras that were announced, respectively, in February 2015 and April 2012. Both are DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras that are equipped with an APS-C sensor. The Canon has a resolution of 24 megapixels, whereas the Nikon provides 24.1 MP.

Going beyond this snapshot of core features and characteristics, what are the differences between the Canon EOS 760D and the Nikon D3200? Which one should you buy? Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their imaging sensors, their shooting features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
The side-by-side display below illustrates the physical size and weight of the Canon 760D and the Nikon D3200. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three consecutive views from the front, the top, and the rear side are shown. All size dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
The D3200 can be obtained in two different colors (black, red), while the 760D is only available in black.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Nikon D3200 is notably smaller (10 percent) than the Canon 760D. Moreover, the D3200 is markedly lighter (11 percent) than the 760D. In this context, it is worth noting that neither the 760D nor the D3200 are weather-sealed.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses that both of these cameras require. Yet, since both cameras are based around an APS-C sensor, their respective lenses will tend to have similar dimensions and heft. You can compare the optics available for the two cameras in the Canon EF Lens Catalog (760D) and the Nikon Lens Catalog (D3200).
Concerning battery life, the 760D gets 440 shots out of its LP-E17 battery, while the D3200 can take 540 images on a single charge of its EN-EL14 power pack.
The table below summarizes the key physical specs of the two cameras alongside a broader set of comparators. In case you want to display and compare another camera duo, you can use the CAM-parator app to select your camera combination among a large number of options.

Any camera decision will naturally be influenced heavily by the price. The manufacturer's suggested retail prices give an idea on the placement of the camera in the maker's lineup and the broader market. The D3200 was somewhat cheaper (by 8 percent) than the 760D at launch, but both cameras fall into the same price category. Normally, street prices remain initially close to the MSRP, but after a couple of months, the first discounts appear. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down. Then, after the new model is out, very good deals can frequently be found on the pre-owned market.
The imaging sensor is at the core of digital cameras and its size is one of the main determining factors of image quality. A large sensor will tend to have larger individual pixels that provide better low-light sensitivity, wider dynamic range, and richer color-depth than smaller pixel-units in a sensor of the same technological generation. Further, a large sensor camera will give the photographer additional creative options when using shallow depth-of-field to isolate a subject from its background. On the downside, larger sensors are more costly to manufacture and tend to lead to bigger and heavier cameras and lenses.
Both cameras under consideration feature an APS-C sensor, but their sensors differ slightly in size. The sensor area in the D3200 is 8 percent bigger. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have format factors, respectively, of 1.6 (760D) and 1.5. Both cameras have a native aspect ratio (sensor width to sensor height) of 3:2.
With 24.1MP, the D3200 offers a higher resolution than the 760D (24MP), but the D3200 nevertheless has larger individual pixels (pixel pitch of 3.85μm versus 3.72μm for the 760D) due to its larger sensor. However, the 760D is a much more recent model (by 2 years and 9 months) than the D3200, and its sensor will have benefitted from technological advances during this time that enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixel-units.
The 760D has on-sensor phase detect pixels, which results in fast and reliable autofocus acquisition even during live view operation.
The Canon EOS 760D has a native sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 12800, which can be extended to ISO 100-25600. The corresponding ISO settings for the Nikon D3200 are ISO 100 to ISO 6400, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 100-12800.
For many cameras, data on sensor performance has been reported by DXO Mark. This service determines an overall sensor rating, as well as sub-scores for low-light sensitivity ("DXO Sports"), dynamic range ("DXO Landscape"), and color depth ("DXO Portrait"). Of the two cameras under consideration, the D3200 offers substantially better image quality than the 760D (overall score 11 points higher). The advantage is based on 1.5 bits higher color depth, 1.2 EV in additional dynamic range, and 0.3 stops in additional low light sensitivity. The following table provides an overview of the physical sensor characteristics, as well as the sensor quality measurements for a selection of comparators.

Many modern cameras are not only capable of taking still images, but can also record movies. The two cameras under consideration both have sensors whose read-out speed is fast enough to capture moving pictures, and both provide the same movie specifications (1080/30p).
Apart from body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a variety of features. The 760D and the D3200 are similar in the sense that both have an optical viewfinder. The latter is useful for getting a clear image for framing even in brightly lit environments. The viewfinders of both cameras offer the same field of view (95%), but the viewfinder of the D3200 has a higher magnification than the one of the 760D (0.53x vs 0.51x), so that the size of the image transmitted appears closer to the size seen with the naked human eye.

One feature that is present on the 760D, but is missing on the D3200 is a top-level LCD. While being, of course, smaller than the rear screen, the control panel conveys some of the essential shooting information and can be convenient for quick and easy settings verification.
The 760D has an articulated LCD that can be turned to be front-facing. This characteristic will be appreciated by vloggers and photographers who are interested in snapping selfies. In contrast, the D3200 does not have a selfie-screen.
Concerning the storage of imaging data, both the 760D and the D3200 write their files to SDXC cards. Both cameras can use UHS-I cards, which provide for Ultra High Speed data transfer of up to 104 MB/s.
For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Canon EOS 760D and Nikon D3200 and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.

It is notable that the 760D offers wifi support, while the D3200 does not. Wifi can be a very convenient means to transfer image data to an off-camera location.
Both the 760D and the D3200 have been discontinued, but can regularly be found used on ebay. The D3200 was replaced by the Nikon D3300, while the 760D was followed by the Canon 77D. Further information on the features and operation of the 760D and D3200 can be found, respectively, in the Canon 760D Manual (free pdf) or the online Nikon D3200 Manual.
So what is the bottom line? Is there a clear favorite between the Canon 760D and the Nikon D3200? Which camera is better? The listing below highlights the relative strengths of the two models.
Reasons to prefer the Canon EOS 760D:
Better live-view autofocus: Features on-sensor phase-detection for more confident autofocus.
Easier setting verification: Features an LCD display on top to control shooting parameters.
More flexible LCD: Has a swivel screen for odd-angle shots in portrait or landscape orientation.
Fewer buttons to press: Is equipped with a touch-sensitive rear screen to facilitate handling.
More modern: Reflects 2 years and 9 months of technical progress since the D3200 launch.
Advantages of the Nikon D3200:
More dynamic range: Captures a broader range of light and dark details (1.2 EV of extra DR).
Less heavy: Has a lower weight (by 60g or 11 percent) and is thus easier to take along.
More heavily discounted: Has been around for much longer (launched in April 2012).
If the number of relative strengths (bullet points above) is taken as a guide, the 760D emerges as the winner of the contest (10 : 7 points). However, the relevance of individual strengths will vary across photographers, so that you might want to apply your own weighing scheme to the summary points when reflecting and deciding on a new camera. A professional wedding photographer will view the differences between cameras in a way that diverges from the perspective of a travel photog, and a person interested in cityscapes has distinct needs from a macro shooter. Hence, the decision which camera is best and worth buying is often a very personal one.

How about other alternatives? Do the specifications of the Canon 760D and the Nikon D3200 place the cameras among the top in their class? Find out in the latest Best DSLR Camera listing whether the two cameras rank among the cream of the crop.
In any case, while the comparison of technical specifications can provide a useful overview of the capabilities of different cameras, it says little about, for example, the shooting experience and imaging performance of the 760D and the D3200 in practical situations. User reviews, such as those found at amazon, can sometimes inform about these issues, but such feedback is often incomplete, inconsistent, and biased.

The above review scores should be interpreted with care, though. The assessments were made in relation to similar cameras of the same technological generation. A score, therefore, has to be seen in close connection to the price and market introduction time of the camera, and comparing ratings of very distinct cameras or ones that are far apart in terms of their release date have little meaning. It should also be noted that some of the review sites have over time altered the way they render their verdicts.

Tiger, Phil Mickelson Struggle Early in US Open
by AFRO Staff June 19, 2010 January 25, 2022
Golf superstars Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were considered the top two favorites to claim the 2010 US Open Championship this weekend. But surprisingly, both golfers struggled during the tournament's opening round on June 17, as both failed to make a birdie throughout the entire first round.
Woods bogeyed two of his last three holes, finishing at 3-over-par and tying for 47th overall. Michelson finished in 66th place after bogeying the 16th, 17th and 18th to finish 4-over-par.
"I hit the ball well enough to shoot a good score," Woods told reporters, "but these greens are just awful."
Despite the bad start, Woods said he is still confident he can pull off what would be his fourth U.S. Open Championship, and second in two years. Mickelson, his archrival who has finished in second place at the event on several occasions, is just as confident.
"There's no way under-par is going to win here, I don't believe," Mickelson told reporters. "I think over-par will win. Because of that, I'm right there. But I need to play well. I need to putt well, score well. I've just got to get sharp on the greens."

Nairn Dunbar Sets History
by admin | Jan 18, 2022 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Nairn Dunbar Golf Club has opened a new chapter in its 122-year history with the appointment of the club's first female vice-captain.
Hazel Clark was unanimously voted into the post at the club's annual general meeting this week (Tuesday 7th December).
Commenting on the historic appointment, newly-appointed club captain Shaun Smith said: "I am delighted to have Hazel as my vice-captain. She brings with her a wealth of experience in financial management, leadership management, developing people and in service improvement. I know that Hazel will make a very positive contribution to our club utilising her wide knowledge and experience."
Hazel has been at Cantraybridge College since 2015 and CEO from 2018 where her diverse role at the rural skills training establishment has a major focus on developing business and financial management. She has also enjoyed an extensive career as a senior manager in banking, working in mortgage lending, business banking and latterly as an HR business partner.
Commenting on her new appointment, Hazel said: "I feel very honoured and privileged to be the first female vice-captain of Nairn Dunbar Golf Club. This is a positive step forward for a club that shows it is leading the field in equality and diversity. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead and working with the committee and staff at this excellent championship golf club."
Shaun added: "Nairn Dunbar has rightly earned the reputation of the 'friendly Club' and it is our aim to continue to offer an unrivalled golfing experience for people of all ages and abilities – from those taking up the game, to those who have enjoyed golf for some time."

The Venue | David and Morgan Are Gettin' Hitched!
Because North Carolina is so dear to our hearts, we've decided to have the big day up there. After some scouring the area around my parent's cabin, we finally decided on The Lodges at Eagle's Nest. This outdoor venue will be the perfect backdrop for our vows… we can't wait to be in the midst of all of the natural wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Lodges at Eagles Nest is a 1,350 acre development with altitudes over 5,000 feet. The property includes a wildlife preserve, waterfalls, trout-filled streams, and miles of pristine mountain trails perfect for hiking, riding, and biking. And best of all (ahem, MichaelClaytor), a frisbee golf course.

Call for action after figures show educational gap is widening between children from poor backgrounds and their classmates
Published: 12:27 Friday 12 October 2018
Children from disadvantaged backgrounds in Nottinghamshire are falling behind their classmates, according to teacher assessments of their first years at school.
Results of the Key Stage One assessments, made when children are seven, show that the proportion reaching the required standard in reading, writing, maths and science falls well below other children.

The Department for Education identifies children from disadvantaged backgrounds as those who would be eligible for free school meals.
These children are lagging behind in all the assessed topics.
The biggest gap is in writing with 47 per cent reaching the required standard compared to 71 per cent of other children.
In reading, it's 54 per cent compared to 77 per cent.
Fewer children receiving free school meals met the standard in maths and science too.
Nansi Ellis, assistant general secretary of National Education Union (NEU), which represents teachers, said; "There were 4.1 million children living in poverty in the UK in 2016-17, according to Child Poverty Action Group – one in four of the school population.
"Any serious strategy for raising educational attainment has to address these appalling figures.
"Teachers are working more than 50 hours a week, and this figure is rising, but there are limits to what can be achieved through placing the responsibility of lifting standards on schools.
"There are wider issues which need to be addressed, and the Government is not addressing them."
Assessments were made of 9,835 pupils in state-funded schools across Nottinghamshire.
The proportion reaching the standard in reading was below the average for England, but ahead of the regional average.

Girls performed more strongly than boys and the gap was widest in writing where girls were 16 percentage points ahead.
In reading, 79 per cent of girls achieved the target standard, compared to 70 per cent of boys, and 27 per cent of girls were judged to be working at above the required level.
The Key Stage One assessments were introduced in 2016 to determine how children were coping with the more challenging national curriculum set by the Government and the increase in the standards expected.
The NEU says that looking at how children are learning is important but Key Stage One assessments are a poor way to do it.
Ms Ellis said: "We don't need to test every child in high-stakes ways that put a lot of pressure on them, in order to evaluate whether a school is doing its job.
"Other countries have found different and more successful ways of monitoring the quality of education and improving it."
Nick Gibb MP, Minister for School Standards, said: "Reading and writing are the foundation of education and once grasped can open up a world of literature and knowledge to young people.
"We remain determined to make sure that not just most children, but every single child is able to meet his or her potential."

For many kids, a chemistry set is their first direct exposure to science and experimentation. It can also be a parent or educator's first science-based interaction with a child. So in spite of the 1950s aura that surrounds chemistry sets in American culture, they can be an important part of a young person's understanding and, more important, interest in science.
That's why the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation's competition to remake the chemistry set for the 21st Century is such a cool idea.
The SPARK (Science Plan and Research Kit contest), a collaboration with Society for Science & the Public (SSP), is searching for entrants from far and wide, from elementary school teachers to scientists, engineers, and, of course, makers. The contest focuses on science beyond chemistry and seeks ideas for "new tools that tap into the spirit of the classic chemistry set and encourage children to wonder how and why the world works." Submissions will be accepted until Jan. 7. The grand prize winner gets $50,000.
Steve Davee, director of education and communications for the Maker Education Initiative, grew up with chemistry sets, but thinks they have become too watered down and need a good update.
"They are getting dumber, more focused on demonstration rather than experimentation, and contain diminishing amounts of chemicals," he said. "In some cases, there are no chemicals at all," he said, pointing to this blog post by Sean Ragan.
The power of a good chemistry set to awaken a child's imagination is significant, he says.
In my varied experience in preschool through high school education, kids go absolutely nuts over anything having to do with chemistry. It has that enticing level of 'magic' that is obtainable, understandable, but still so full of mystery.
Chemistry helps shift a child's mind toward imagining what they cannot see, a growth shift in understanding that there is an entire 'secret' world of things that happen that require investigation and clever methods to observe. It represents a whole new realm of curiosity, a new playground for ideas and exploration.

SPARK is looking for participants to submit both working prototypes and ideas that entrants have not yet been developed.
Here are a couple of sources to get you thinking about chemistry sets. MAKE projects editor Keith Hammond wrote this great ode to old school chemistry sets and tips for making your own. Robert Bruce Thompson literally wrote the book on making chemistry sets. And The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments by Robert Brent and Harry Lazarus is a classic that still sparks creativity.
What ideas do you have for reimagining the chemistry set?
