Bolivia Geography
October 15, 2021 October 17, 2021 constructmaterialsSouth America
According to dentistrymyth, Bolivia shares its borders in the west with Peru, in the east and north with Brazil, in the south-east with Paraguay, in the south with Argentina and in the south-west with Chile.
The geography of Bolivia is unusual for South America. Besides Paraguay, it is the only landlocked country on the continent and has several of the highest peaks in America. Particularly striking features of the geography of Bolivia are the Andean plateau Altiplano and South America's largest lake, Lake Titicaca (Lago Titicaca).
The Andes describe an arc through the western Bolivia and also define the three geographical zones in the country: Mountains and Altiplano in the west, the subtropical Yungas and temperate valleys of the eastern foothills of the Andes and the tropical lowlands (llanos) in eastern Bolivia (Oriente).
The Andes run through Bolivia in two large, parallel mountain ranges (cordilleras). In the west (Cordillera Occidental) is the mountain range along the borders with Chile and Peru. The Eastern Cordillera (Cordillera Oriental) are wider and run from Peru to Argentina. In the space between these cordilleras is the largely barren Altiplano, an extensive plateau (about 805 km long and 129 km wide), which makes up about a third of the country's area of Bolivia. About 70 percent of the population live on this plateau, about two thirds of them in cities.
The most prominent feature of the Altiplano in the northern region is the vast Titicaca Lake. It lies at an altitude of 3,810 m, making it the world's highest commercially navigable waterway. It covers an area of 9,064 km² (about half the size of the federal state of Saxony) and is therefore also the largest lake in South America. The average water depth is 215 m, the maximum values reach up to 370 m. that the lake can maintain a constant temperature of 10 ° C. Lake Titicaca has a moderating effect on the region surrounding the climate, which enables maize and wheat to be grown on protected areas.
The current of Lake Titicaca moves slowly to the south through the Río Desaguadero, (a reed-covered river), into Lake Poopó. While Lake Titicaca is filled with fresh water, the shallow (rarely more than 4 meters deep) Lake Poopó consists of salt water. Lake Poopó is dependent on seasonal precipitation and the inflow of Lake Titicaca. Therefore, the size of the Poopósee can change quite a lot. In the 20th century, low rainfall or silting up of the Desaguaredo River caused the Poopósee to almost completely dry out several times. In contrast, when there was heavy rainfall, Lake Poopó flooded the Coipasa salt basin in the west.
In the northeast of the Cordillera Real (in the northeast of La Paz) is the spectacular, semi-tropical Yungas (Aymar for "warm valleys"). The steep walls and peaks make this region one of the most spectacular landscapes in Bolivia. Heavy rainfall can cause rich vegetation to develop here, covering the banks and walls of the narrow river valleys. The region is fertile, but difficult transport conditions prevent extensive agricultural use. A railway line was supposed to be built through the Yungas in 1917 and connect La Paz with the eastern lowlands. However, the construction of the railway line was canceled again after 150 kilometers.
The lowlands of Bolivia cover the land area in the north and east of the Andes. They cover around two thirds of the area of Bolivia, but the region is only sparsely populated and plays a subordinate role economically.
The lowlands can be divided into three areas based on topographical and climatic criteria. The area in the north (Beni and Pando departments and the northern part of Cochabamba department) is flat and mainly covered by tropical rainforest. The soil is supported by a clay subsoil, so precipitation can hardly be stored. Heavy rainfall can quickly turn the region into a swamp.
In the central area (northern half of the Department of Santa Cruz) one finds hilly country with a drier climate than in the northern lowlands. The vegetation consists of forests that alternate with savannah. Much of the region has been cleared and is used for agriculture. This is where Santa Cruz is located, the largest city in the lowlands, and a large part of the oil and gas reserves in Bolivia were discovered here.
The southeastern lowlands are formed by the continuation of the Chaco Paraguay. During nine months, this region is mostly dry, only to be transformed into a swamp during the rainy three months. Due to these extremely different amounts of precipitation, only bushes and shrubs thrive here, and livestock farming is also possible. Crude oil and natural gas were recently discovered here in the foothills of the Andes, which has attracted some settlers.
Almost all of the important rivers in Bolivia flow through the water-rich northern lowlands, for example in the Alto Beni, where coffee and cocoa can be grown. The three largest rivers are Mamoré, Beni and Madre de Dios. All three flow north into Madeira and from there into the Amazon. Freight and passenger ships operate on Beni and Mamoré. A transport to Brazil is prevented by rapids, however.

Orange Lutheran sports
Winn plays big role as Orange Lutheran ends quarterfinals 'curse' by beating Gahr
ORANGE – Cole Winn needed a few innings to locate his groove Saturday night, but once the Orange Lutheran ace found it, there wasn't much Gahr's pesky offense could do.
The senior right-hander withstood the visitors' challenge the first two innings before turning dominant in the CIF Southern Section baseball quarterfinal, struck out 12 in just five innings, and delivered the biggest hits to send the Lancers to the Division 1 semifinals for the first time with a 4-0 triumph before a standing-room-only crowd at Hart Park.
Third-seeded Orange Lutheran (25-7) will take on Capistrano Valley (23-10) on Tuesday at Hart Park, and a victory would set up a title-game showdown with Foothill (24-7) or Bishop Amat (20-11-1).
The last time Orange Lutheran made it to a baseball final was 1991, when it was playing with other small schools at the fifth-tier 1-A level.
The Lancers are big time now, thanks to a lights-out pitching staff that's thrown eight shutouts, two in the playoffs, and is carrying a 1.35 earned-run average.
"It's nice to finally break the curse," Lancers coach Eric Borba said. "This was our sixth time being in the (Division 1) quarterfinals (in 11 years), the first time we've won it. We broke the curse finally. The monkey's off our back."
Much of the credit goes to Winn, a transfer from Boulder, Colo., who has committed to TCU but has been projected as a first-round pick in the coming MLB draft. He labored through the first two innings, giving up three hits, walking two, and letting Gahr (22-9) get runners to second in both, and then allowed just one baserunner before Christian Rodriguez came on to throw two perfect innings in relief, striking out five.
"I was just too amped up, too excited for the game, and I didn't breathe," Winn said. "Once I started breathing – third inning, fourth inning – I started rolling, and it was a lot better."
Gahr's aggressive approach at the plate and its hitters' ability to keep their at-bats alive rattled Winn early, pushed his pitch count to 49 after just two innings, and led to an early departure after he'd tossed 102.
It was just 1-0 then, after Caleb Ricketts singled with a shot up the middle that ricocheted off Gahr left-hander Jason Dressel with one out in the fourth and Winn followed with an RBI double to the gap in left-center, but Orange Lutheran sent nine men to the plate in the bottom of the fifth and pushed across three more runs before Rodriguez took the mound.
Gahr coach Gerardo Perez did all he could to slow the Lancers' momentum, going to his bullpen four times in the inning as things got worse and worse. He yanked Dressel, who surrendered three hits and walked three, after just one fifth-inning pitch, then pulled right-hander Joel Martinez after he got a popout, then hit Chad Born with a pitch, then started with a 2-1 count on Elijah Burris.
On came Julian Sotelo, who threw two more balls to Burris, then gave up an opposite-field single to Max Rajcic to load the bases. Perez then called on left-hander Darius Garcia, who got a forceout at the plate for the second out. Winn followed with a single to right to bring home Burris, and Garcia then walked Caden Connor and Eric Adolphus to make it 4-0.
Right-hander Anthony Diaz got out of the inning by striking out Jackson Cloyd.
"We ran out two, three guys, and they weren't able to throw strikes," Perez explained. "A couple of free passes, and (Orange Lutheran was) able to score some run without having to work too hard for it. (I had a short leash on the pitchers because) your back's against the wall, it's 1-0, and you've got Cole Winn. You can't let it get too far away, like 2-0 or 3-0."
When it did get away, there wasn't much Gahr could do. The Gladiators got just one hit after the second inning, Michael Perez's second single of the evening, and didn't make a whole lot of contact. Seventeen of the 26 batters to come to the plate struck out.
"Cole had to fight for every pitch tonight, and he made some big ones," Borba said. "There's a reason why he's the best pitcher in California and maybe in the country. He made big pitches when he had to, and then Chris Rodriguez came in and was absolutely lights out.
"This team is built on pitching, and I think you saw that today. We've got to pitch well, and it gives us a chance if you can pitch well and play defense, and I think we did exactly that tonight. We did what we had to do."
Gahr was left lamenting the opportunities that got away. Michael Perez led off the game with a single, then, after Xavier Estrada struck out, was picked off at first. Tyrese Turner then singled and Brandon Shiota walked. Winn got out of trouble by striking out Matthew Polk.
Winn struck out three in the second inning – he'd do so again in the fourth – but Gahr got two on again, through Delvan Gomez's leadoff single and a two-out walk to Andrew Householder. Winn struck out Michael Perez to end the threat, and the Gladiators got on base just one more time the rest of the way.
"I think we were competitive. We didn't make it easy on them," Gerardo Perez said. "We had a couple of leadoff hitters on in the first two innings. … Had we (moved them along) and got to a 1-0 lead, 2-0 lead, who knows what would have happened. But at the end of the day, when you face a pitcher like that, you don't have a whole lot of room for error."

Miller helps JSerra find way to knock off Orange Lutheran
ORANGE – JSerra's baseball team used a terrific outing by Andrew Miller and a four-run second inning to defeat Orange Lutheran 6-3 in a Trinity League game Friday night at Hart Park.
The Lions (13-7, 3-3), ranked third in Orange County, needed the win to avoid being swept in their three-game series this week with the No. 2 Lancers (14-6, 4-2), who are tied for first in league with Servite.
The Lions were successful bunting on three consecutive at-bats, including a pair of squeeze plays to take a 4-0 lead in the second inning.
JSerra coach Brett Kay decided to be aggressive with runners in scoring position.
"We haven't been a really good bunting team this year, but tonight it worked out and that's the small ball mentality," Kay said. "Sometimes we're going to use it and sometimes we're not, but tonight we were very fortunate to be able to use it."
JSerra also took advantage of a couple of second-inning errors by the Lancers, who committed four errors total.
On the mound, Miller turned in a masterful performance as he struck out seven batters in 6.1 innings of work.
"He was exceptional in every facet." Kay said. "Andrew was Andrew tonight. He was commanding both sides of the plate, using his breaking ball when he needed to and his changeup when he needed to.
"You could tell he was locked in from the beginning and he wanted the ball."
In the seventh Orange Lutheran was able to chase Miller from the game while scoring a pair of runs, but Tim Scarlett was able to get the save by getting the final two outs.
"We weren't able to find our rhythm at the plate tonight until the seventh but it was too little too late," Lancers coach Eric Borba said.
JSerra will face Mater Dei next week while the Lancers meet Servite for an important three-game series.
"We go into every week the same, we don't worry about the standings until it really matters," Borba said. "It's one game at a time and every series is gonna be a grind."

SiriusXM drafts a "Fantasy Comedy League" for 2013

Fantasy football leagues have become so widespread and commonly accepted as a hobby that...


Between November 2014 and October 2015, RedR UK ran pre-departure training to prepare medical staff for deployment to work in Ebola Treatment Centres.
The project contributed to the UK-led response in Sierra Leone by training NHS volunteers and Danish, Norwegian, and South Korean foreign medical teams to function as effectively and safely as possible in the environment of the Ebola Treatment Centres (ETCs) run by Save the Children, International Medical Corps, Médecins du Monde, GOAL, and Emergency.
Recognise their own concerns about deployment, stress warning signs and methods to increase and demonstrate resilience throughout deployment.
The training included sessions on essential medical topics such as Ebola symptoms and characteristics, triage, and medical case management, but also integrated topics necessary for Health Care Workers deploying to this humanitarian response such as humanitarian principles, safety and security, protection and vulnerability, awareness of the cultural context in Sierra Leone, and stress and resilience.
The course agenda and content were developed in collaboration with a number of organisations with experience and expertise in the response. External resources the course drew on included partnerships with InterHealth, the Sierra Leonean Diaspora Group, and the Anthropology Platform. UK Med and representatives of the deploying NGOs were also present at each event.
The methodology used was informed by adult learning principles and current best practice in learning and development. Daily practical sessions enabled participants to practise key skills and tasks while wearing personal protective equipment. The course benefitted from specialist knowledge through the use of expert-delivered sessions and carefully composed training teams.
Each team was led by a RedR Associate Trainer with extensive experience in humanitarian training, who worked alongside one Infection Prevention and Control/Logistics specialist and one or two clinicians, each with experience from the response in West Africa. A key strength of the project was the use of returning participants as resource persons and trainers on later iterations of the course, bringing direct and recent experience from the field into the training room.
In total, 16 five-day courses were delivered between December 2014 and April 2015. 362 individuals were trained, of whom 95% rated the course as good or excellent, and 98% agreed or strongly agreed they were better prepared for their deployment following the training.
In September 2015, 11 NHS volunteers were retrained on a two-day refresher training in order to remain on standby for deployment to the end of November 2015. 100% of the participants rated the refresher training as 'good' or 'excellent'.
The training's been extensive and thorough. I value its wide approach, the PPE focus, the realities of treatment centres, the practical tasks we'll all be expected to do. At the same time, it's good that the training also deals with psycho-social concerns, with our motivations, and the inclusion of cultural sessions, which help us get an idea of what to expect in Sierra Leone. I really appreciate its breadth.

The Force Awakens Your favourite film + music moments in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Red replied to Boom Tss's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
It is odd that Poe has more of a theme than Finn does but I think part of that might be by design. I anticipate Poe having a bigger role to play in subsequent films, making his theme a taste of things to come, and Finn growing into whatever kind of character he will be. It's important to keep in mind that not every character in the original film had their own theme. For some it wasn't until later that a thematic stamp was put in the music.
The incoming X-Wings skimming the water and Poe's subsequent incredible attack run. Rey's entire introductory sequence is one of the best of the film but the flute bit when we first see her face is particularly great. The whole escape from Jakku sequence is also great. Finn's motif has such a fun, propulsive rhythm to it.

What are your Top 3 Force Theme renditions?
Red replied to DarthDementous's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
"Funeral Pyre for a Jedi" The statements in "The Battle of Yavin", specifically when the X-Wings first dive into their attack run and then when Luke hears Obi-Wan's call to "use the force". Gets me every time. The opening to "The Rebel Fleet". I think one of the only times the theme has been developed beyond what it normally is. I remember several years ago there was a forum-wide poll to determine our collective favorite John Williams theme and the Force theme won it. I still stand by that.
The Force Awakens What does everyone think of 'March of the Resistance'?
The Resistance theme is one of my favorite elements of the new score. And story wise I think it's really interesting that this time around the (ostensible) good guys have their own march. Traditionally in Star Wars the bad guys get the marches, be it the Trade Federation or the Empire. The good factions get the shorter motifs but here it is the other way around. It's a salient reflection of the the way the galactic powers are setup in the films.
What to expect from Episode VIII's Score?
Red replied to Þekþiþm's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I expect more of Poe's theme because I expect he will be in the movie more than he was in VII. It seems to me that the score, like the film, is in many ways a setup for this new trilogy. So a character like Dameron has his own adventurous theme despite the character not actually having a lot of screentime. Same with Finn and to an extent Kylo Ren; I'd expect the motifs for those characters to get a lot more development in subsequent scores. I don't know if Williams was intentionally doing this, but Kylo's motif being as brief as it is recalls the fact that Vader didn't have a fully-fledged theme until the second installment of the OT. Could be that he was emulating himself there and is waiting to pull out a full overture for Kylo and/or The First Order in VIII.

What does Star Wars mean to you?
Red replied to karelm's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, that's a fundamental part of it for me as well. The universe Lucas created is one of the most potent ever. You can tell literally any kind of story you want to tell. Fantasy, sci-fi, western, horror, comedy, tragedy, romance, war epic. And you see shades of all those genres in the films, blending together. It's like a distillation of so much mythology blown up on the grandest scale.
The Force Awakens The Force Awakens ALBUM Discussion (No Film Spoilers)
Red replied to rebekahnoelleparker's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I get the feeling he doesn't want to. Because, like you said, in nearly 40 years there hasn't been anything to stop him and as far as Star Wars themes go it's one of the most iconic. Maybe he prefers to just have the theme exist within the context of the scores.

Red replied to Quintus's topic in Other Topics
ME! Though if I have to be honest, it doesn't quite look like I expected it to look (for example, I prefer Barret's design in Advent Children (which was closer to the original game's design) than in this video). Still, I was originally mainly interested in the remake for the music, but now, after having watched the video, I'm intrigued by the game itself. It looks a lot like the upcoming Final Fantasy XV with the real-time combat and urban setting. Which is basically what I was expecting the remake to be. I would've preferred something that skewed more towards the original with some kind turn-based combat system but I understand that there might not be much of a point in doing a remake if they weren't going to change it up, especially with the original game being ported to PS4. But my real problem is Barrett's sunglasses. It's a small thing but they just look dumb.

This makes me feel for Jackson more than I had before. But I'm also relieved and appreciative of his level of honesty and self-realization. That's the key difference between him and Lucas; he can admit when he's out of his element.
As long as they can confirm the game is coming out next year I don't really care.
Well, there was the whole virgin birth thing. And the chosen one prophecy. But it's inaccurate to claim Vader was just some guy in the OT. He was very much the face of the Empire, an active commander who inspired fear in everyone around him. So it makes sense that thirty years on he would be held up as this paragon of the Empire and dark side, especially when his final turn away from it was unknown to almost everyone.
The Force Awakens Finn has a theme in The Force Awakens score
Red replied to SafeUnderHill's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I don't recall Han having a theme other than "Han Solo & the Princess" which was kind of larger than that single character. I also don't remember Obi-Wan and Boba Fett having their own themes but I'm probably just not informed enough.
Score Talk
Cool. If you look at the OT not every lead character had their own theme. Leia did and Luke technically did but his also served as the main theme. Maybe it will be different this time around.
What Is The Last Score You Listened To?
Red replied to Ollie's topic in General Discussion
It's probably my favorite of the three, though I like them all. It's a true even-split collaboration between Zimmer and Howard that diminished as the series went on until it just became Zimmer. While I like Zimmer and think these are some of his best works Begins having the most of Howard's influence means I kind of gravitate toward it by default.
James Newton Howard's The Village I always dig into this score during this time of year. It is so representative of the fall season to me; all of its beauty, austerity, and chilly foreboding.
I'm more interested in what BioWare has cooking up. Possible KOTOR 3?
The trailer gave me a better grasp on the characters, which was the main thing I wanted out of it. I don't care too much about plot specifics, especially for this movie. The trailer established more of a general feel for the state of the story rather than the story's beats and that's fine for me. When it comes to trailers I usually err on the side of ambiguity, not because it can be misleading but because I'd rather not have the story spoiled for me.
Anyone ever seen John Williams' business card?
Nice, very impressive. Now let's see Paul Allen's card.
They could've still made it unobtrusive and optional within the game through diary/audio logs. The fact that you can't access any of that stuff within the game proper is a problem to me. I love the ambient, environmental storytelling that games are so adept at.

Biography, Drama, History
Having graduated recently from the University of Edinburgh, the Scottish doctor, Nicholas Garrigan, flies to Uganda to work at a missionary clinic run by Dr David Merrit and his wife, Sarah. Before long, Garrigan has a chance encounter with the new President, General Idi Amin, who, right from the start, feels an immediate sympathy for him. As one thing leads to another, after a while, Idi Amin invites Nicholas to become his physician and modernise Uganda's health care system: a once-in-a-lifetime offer that the doctor cannot refuse. However, more and more, Garrigan finds himself trapped in the moral abyss of Idi Amin's murderous megalomania, putting his very soul at risk. When Nicholas finally summons up the courage to rise above the madness, he becomes embroiled in a desperate fight for survival. ??Nick Riganas

SSJ 100 waiting for a deep upgrade
Photo: scac.ru
United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to carry out a deep modernization of the aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ 100), which are assembled in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. It will include an increase in resource indicators and cost reduction.
As reported in an interview with the TV channel Russia-24 within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, UAC President Yury Slyusar, modernization will also affect import substitution - the number of Russian suppliers will increase. This, he said, will reduce the price of the aircraft and increase its economic attractiveness.
Until the end of this year, Russian airlines will receive 15 aircraft SSJ 100, ten of which will be sent to Aeroflot. Also, these planes are used to create a charter airline.
At the end of 2017, authorities and KLA began talking about creating a shortened version of the SSJ 100 - on 75 seats. It will prevail Russian components: electronics, hydraulics, avionics, the whole interior, as well as an auxiliary power unit, wheels, brakes, chassis. Think about the company and the replacement of engines.

Review: 'All the Birds in the Sky'
Charlie Jane Anders might actually be able to see the future. As co-founder and managing editor of io9.com, she's one of the most insightful people writing about science fiction today, and those skills have carried over into writing science fiction itself. Her new novel, All the Birds in the Sky, feels like a bittersweet reworking of the legendary Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman collaboration Good Omens (1990). It similarly centres on a world-threatening conflict between two intractable ideologies, with an odd couple at risk of getting swept up in the chaos. However, this time the odd couple consists of a witch and a mad scientist rather than an angel and a demon, demonstrating a moral complexity which Good Omens lacks. Witty, heartfelt, and unerringly humane, it's a tender and funny debut from an exciting literary talent, although its occasionally flabby structure means it stops just shy of being an instant classic.
We open with Patricia, the aforementioned witch, and her first encounter with the magical world at age six. After an unexpected conversation with an injured sparrow, she is led to the mysterious Parliament of Birds, only to be yanked away by her parents at the last minute. (This is the first of many references to classic fantasy, in this case C.S. Lewis's Parliament of Owls.) As a teenager she meets a fellow social outcast, Laurence, who goes through a similar experience involving an abortive rocket launch, and who copes with his anxieties by developing a two-second time machine. From there we follow the two of them as they grow together, then apart, and finally together again, all the while dealing with deadly assassins, home-grown AIs, and the very real prospect of human extinction. It's a dense and multi-layered plot, filled with narrative digressions, but what holds it all together is Anders' deft characterisation and subtly elegant prose style.
This is an endlessly quotable novel; barely a chapter went by without something that I wanted to scribble down for future use. This is mostly down to the narrative style, which is one part Douglas Adams to two parts Rainbow Rowell, and full of great one-liners. Personal highlights include "Laurence felt like he'd grown an extra body part just in time to be punched in it", and "One day the Singularity would elevate humans to cybernetic superbeings, and maybe then people would say what they meant. Probably not, though." But as brilliant as the jokes are, this is a fundamentally character-driven story. Laurence and Patricia are one of the most interesting literary double acts in recent memory. At one point we're told that "They knew almost all of each other's secrets, and that gave them license to talk in crappy puns and quotes from old hip-hop songs and fake Prohibition bootlegger slang, to the point where nobody else could even stand to be around them." The overwhelming sense is of two people completely at ease with one another, and markedly less so with the rest of the world.
The other characters are largely solid — while a few of the bit-part players boil down to conceptual gimmicks (a man who looks different every time you meet him, a wizard who turns everything he touches into plants), the main supporting cast are economically yet vividly characterised. The lack of an overt villain is particularly noteworthy. Everyone acts with the best of intentions, even the ruthless assassin of the book's first half. This is particularly effective given that things get downright apocalyptic in the second half: everyone and no-one is to blame, and Anders effectively conveys a sense of ambiguity and chaos without getting into tedious moralising.
That sense of narrative chaos carries over into the book's structure, which is unfortunately one of its main problems. Anders has been a luminary of the short fiction market for a few years now, and the transition to long form is not an easy one. While the novel has a pithy, to-the-point quality, there are a few too many narrative digressions, and Anders' habit of revealing important bits of back-story out of order leads to a plot that occasionally feels meandering. There is a sense of a writer letting themselves off the leash, which is liberating, but also leaves the story feeling a bit cluttered. The individual episodes all work beautifully, but at least one or two could have been dropped to make for tighter pacing.
Although the novel's structure is occasionally a little undisciplined, this does not detract from the discipline evidenced elsewhere. All the Birds in the Sky shifts effortlessly from fairy tale to romantic comedy to apocalyptic despair and back again, and the clash of elements never feels jarring. It's a virtuoso performance from a fresh new literary voice, and well worth reading, even if it feels like Anders' best work is still ahead of her.
'All the Birds in the Sky' is published by Titan Books and is available to buy in paperback, RRP £7.99.

It sounds like an interesting read. The cover really caught my eye.


Discussion in 'Rugby Video Games & Apps' started by Saint N Sinner, Jan 7, 2006.
Which team will you be using?
Will you be going for a full-out dream team or updating your favourite current team?
But really, is this the most pointless thread ever? Even the thread in this serves more purpose.
I think members who replied misunderstood the question.
It was meant to be either the team you will be using as in player by player, thats if it is a dream team. Or player by player with the actual team.
It is too hard a question to answer at the moment, as player stats aren't yet known. In 2005, Rokococo was crap compared to real life. In 06, how good will Chabal be for example? I doubt he will be very good, despite being the one of the best 8s in the NH.
He is a very good player indeed, I wouldn't want to bump into him in a dark alley I'm telling you.
Yeah I know, but knowing the game, he will have strenth at something like 72.
Lima's tackling on 05 was below 80 FFS!
And Bruce Reihana's kicking stat's reflect this season not the last 1 or 2...which was a shock.
Joe Rokocoko had about the same stats in 05 as in 04. No doubt he will still be on 85 speed. I mean, Caleb Ralph was on 89 for f***s sake.
Talk about threadjacks, anyways...back on topic, I'll use who I used alot in 05...Newcastle.
I'll either go the Scarlets or the Blues.
I was thinking of going Blues, just to play as Lomu again.
i make dream teams. but usually i get board of my team by the end of the 3rd season, and start again with a completely diffrent team. on 05, i had about 5 teams who would all be competitive against each other.

The Psychiatric Conjoint Committee has developed this website in response to an innovative shift in the field of learning. It was first inspired and pioneered by Professor Dr Hatta Sidi, the Head of Department of Psychiatry from UKM (2010 – 2014) and Chairman of the Psychiatric Conjoint Comittee (2013-2014). This idea was supported by the Conjoint Board Committee during 2009/2010 official meeting. The first coordinators for this noble project are from UKM, namely: Dr Suriati Mohamed Saini (E-Learning and Conjoint Board Website Technical Support Facilitator) and Dr Suzaily Wahab (E-Learning and Conjoint Board Website Content Support Facilitator) who have made this website a successful story of innovation in Malaysian Postgraduate Psychiatry learning. However, this great inspiration will not be materialized without great help from UKM, UM, USM, UiTM, UPM, IIUM, Cyberjaya Medical College and MOH's specialists/ lecturers respectively. The current representatives from the universities and MOH for 2014 are Dr. Ang Jin Kiat (UPM), Dr. Chee Kok Yoon (MOH), Assoc Prof Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Ahmad Zahari (UM), Dr. Norzila Zakaria (USM) and Dr. Nurul Azreen Hashim (UiTM). The website is also meant to provide rapid access for the students to the Master of Medicine Psychiatry/ Master of Psychological Medicine program and provides useful and practical information throughout their 4-year courses.
We wish to update the website regularly and would appreciate your questions, comments and feedback, which you can submit via the website online. We will try to attend to your inquiry as soon as possible.
We hope that this website is well received by the students and the public alike. We are very much looking forward to serve you better.

Princess of Zamibia
Delaney Diamond
(Royal Brides, #1)
Publication date: March 17th 2022 (audio)
"Live in the moment with me."
That's what he asked Dahlia to do, and she did—easily—because after a near death experience, her motto was to live life to the fullest. She doesn't worry about tomorrow and greets each day with a smile. She gave him everything. Her body. Her heart. Then it all came to an abrupt end. She didn't anticipate he wouldn't trust her. She didn't anticipate she couldn't trust him.
He wants his son.
Three years later, Prince Kofi returns and he's not the same man. He's bitter and angry and knows he has a son. He'll do whatever it takes to bring his heir back to Zamibia, even if it means marrying the woman he believes betrayed him.
Dahlia must now raise her son in a culture she doesn't fully understand, but when a nightmare strikes the royal family, will it bring her and Kofi closer together, or tear them apart for good?
Goodreads / Authors Direct / Audible / Apple / Nook / Google Play / Scribd / Kobo
The complete series:
Did he know? Her heart raced unsteadily. Was that why she had felt so uneasy recently? Did he have someone watching her? She stood abruptly, a shiver rippling through her body. "I want you to leave."
"Our conversation isn't finished." What did he know?
"I'm done talking to you. I told you everything I had to say three years ago. No, scratch that. I need to add something else to the dumbass comment. You're a liar. A liar and a cheat."
Emotion threatened to overtake her as the hurt came back full force. She'd loved him so much. Given him everything, all of herself, and what had she received in return? Lies. Humiliation.
His brows snapped together. "I never lied to you."
"Yes, you did! How dare you come into my home and question me. Get out."
"Dahlia." Her name was a low warning.
"How dare you! After three years? Who do you think you are?"
"Sit down."
"And not even a word of apology. You know I never stole from you. You had to know. But no, you would never apologize. You're the mighty Prince Kofi Francois Karunzika. Go back to Africa and leave me the hell alone." Dahlia marched over to the door and yanked it open. "Get out!"
In the hallway, Abdalla remained as immovable as a block of stone.
Kofi came to his feet in a swift, lithe movement. "Do you think you can just throw me out like a piece of rubbish?"
"This is not Zamibia. You don't have any power in this country. Your word is not law. If you don't leave now, I'll call the police and have you escorted from the building."
"Is that so?" A slow smile spread across his handsome face. "Close the door, Dahlia. I'm not going anywhere."
"I mean it, if you don't leave—"
"You. Will. Do. Nothing."
His dark eyes glittered at her from across the room, and trepidation skittered down her spine. He was way too confident, even for Kofi.
"You know," he said, using a conversational tone, "I had no idea you moved from New York. Imagine my surprise when the investigator told me he found you here, in Atlanta."
"Why were you looking for me?" Dahlia asked hoarsely, a tightness in her chest she couldn't explain.
"Never mind why. I had my reasons," Kofi replied, voice as hard as steel. "Why did you leave New York?"
"I wanted a fresh start."
"Is that the only reason?" He was enjoying playing his little game, not giving anything away until he was ready. The Conquering Lion of the tribe of Mbutu. Like a lion, he toyed with his defenseless prey, circling, not striking, until he was ready to devour it.
"Y-yes." The lie constricted her throat so tightly it hurt to speak. The cost of living was cheaper in Atlanta than New York, and though she no longer worked in property management, at least here she could pay the bills and take care of her son.
"I've given you ample opportunity to tell me the truth. If I am a liar, so are you, olufeh mi." The endearment didn't hold the same appeal as before. Not when he used it to punctuate a veiled threat.
Dahlia's fingers tightened on the door she had yet to release. He'd known all along. That's why he was here. "No," she said quietly, shaking her head slowly, denying the inevitable.
"Yes, Dahlia. I know your secret. I know you carried my firstborn inside you when you left New York. Close the door and sit down. I'm not leaving. Not without my son."

The Rhodesians also developed several devices that could be fitted to security force vehicles to counter ambushes. The objective was to provide the occupants of vehicles with some means of killing, injuring, or pinning down the ambush party until security forces could outflank them. One such measure involved mounting devices similar to claymore mines facing outward from the sides of vehicles. The vehicles were protected by reinforced backing plates and the mines were detonated electronically from within the cabs. In one instance, this device killed 11 insurgents during an ambush. Rhodesian engineers also developed other similar grenade dischargers, including one that used old bolt-action .303 rifles with Ballistic cartridges as a propellant to launch hand grenades from a cup holder affixed to the barrel. The grenade's activating lever was secured by the cup until it was discharged. Care had to be taken in loading and unloading the dischargers, which were placed at various points along the vehicle to provide complete coverage. The triggers were activated by a pull cord and could be fired individually or at once. Another device involved two AK-47s mounted on the back of a Land Rover. The guns were fired from a solenoid activator located inside the cab.
All these devices required the driver to travel through the kill zone as quickly as possible once an ambush occurred. If enough occupants were available to retaliate against the attackers, the driver would stop the vehicle once it was clear of the ambush point and the security forces would determine the direction of fire by a quick examination of any bullet holes on the vehicle. Although the retaliatory devices did not actually kill many insurgents, reports indicate that they were quite successful in providing a diversion. They also did much to enhance security force morale.
In sum, mine-protected and mine-resistant vehicles were among the most successful countermeasures of the war. Although mine warfare, among other insurgent tactics, imposed a garrison-mentality on Portuguese troops in Mozambique during the early 1970s and in El Salvador more recently, the Rhodesians actively fought to regain and then retain control over the roads. The Rhodesians commonsense approach was characterized by a flexibility in the design and constant modification of the vehicles to keep pace with the insurgents' changing tactics. They thus were able to cope not only with the initial mining threat, but with each new tactic the insurgents developed. When the insurgents began to combine small-arms fire with mining, the Rhodesians were able to overcome the new threat and remained on the roads. Similarly, when the insurgents began planting nonmetallic mines, the Rhodesians readjusted their mine-detecting devices to home in on the holes rather than the mines themselves.
Many of these countermeasures were first developed by the police. Civilians contributed as well, advancing the countermeasures through refinement and improvement. Thus, when the Army did begin to develop mine-resistant and protected vehicles, it did so from a rich base of mostly nonmilitary domestic research and experience. In addition, rather than importing a few expensive vehicles, the Rhodesians inexpensively developed and built their own, scrounging many of the parts. Again, characteristic of their approach to the entire conflict, the Rhodesians relied on ingenuity, innovation, and close cooperation to overcome constraints placed on them by scarce resources and foreign currency shortages.


While it is only Spring Training it's never to early to look ahead and see what the Sox may need in the coming Summer months. With obvious holes at some positions (RP,3B) there's never a bad time to look for potential players to bolster the roster.
Now I don't know about you all, but my trust for Pablo Sandoval is as good as that belt he broke last year. While that's another topic for another day, I'm here to tell you about a man who can help us forget all of our sorrows with the Panda: Todd Frazier. Frazier is a power hitting third basemen who ended last year with 40 ding dongs and drove in 98 runs on a mediocre White Sox team that finished 78-84. Frazier's contract is up at the end of the year and if the White Sox continue in their rebuilding direction, this trade could become a very real possibility.
Danny Valencia, while he may not be as good or well known as a guy like Todd Frazier, still could be a crucial part of the Sox lineup if they can get a deal done for him. The Mariner had a solid season last year, finishing with 22 doubles, 17 homers and 51 RBI in 130 games. He's another guy with an expiring contract after this year, he also excels at hitting lefties and come playoff time you could see Andrew Miller out of the bullpen. The Sox need all the help they can get.
Reed is a part of an outstanding pitching staff for the National League side of New York and is coming off of a year where he finished with a sub-2 ERA and a .94 WHIP. Reed's slider is a true ground ball pitch, and if gets that working in the 8th inning, he can be a crucial set up man in front of Craig Kimbrel and can create a dominant back end if the Mets get out of contention early.
Tony Watson could be the final piece of the puzzle for the Red Sox's bullpen. The former All-Star is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career finishing with a 3.06 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. He's a hard throwing lefty with an above-average fastball and a devastating slider that is thrown extremely hard. If the Red Sox can't land Reed, putting Watson alongside Kimbrel could still cause problems for teams all across the league.


Admission to PCOM's Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program is comprehensive as well as competitive. We seek well-rounded, achievement-oriented persons whose character, maturity and sense of dedication point to a successful and productive life as an osteopathic physician.
We are an institution that has historically sought diversity in our student population. We actively recruit under-represented minority students and non-traditional students who often offer exceptional potential for becoming outstanding physicians. Grades and MCAT scores are important to us as they are some of the best predictors of success in medical school; however, we also look very carefully at research experience, clinical exposure, extracurricular activities, community involvement, motivation to study medicine and letters of recommendation.
Click the links below for additional information about applying to the program. Should you have any questions, please contact us via email at admissions@pcom.edu regarding the Philadelphia campus program or at gaadmissions@pcom.edu for the programs at our Suwanee and Moultrie, Georgia locations.
Eight semester hours of Physics, including two semester hours of laboratory.
See our pre-med student's guide to a competitive application for more information about applying to medical school.
We participate in AACOMAS, the centralized application service for the colleges of osteopathic medicine and adhere to the Applicant Protocol and Admissions Guidelines as adopted by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and published in the College Information Book. For AACOMAS application questions or assistance, please visit the AACOM customer service page which includes contact information, instructions, and other important details.
Beginning in May, prospective osteopathic medical students interested in Fall 2020 admission may submit their application through a secure Web server, AACOMAS-On-Line. Be advised that your full AACOMAS application must be e-submitted, completed and verified by February 1, 2020 to be considered for admissions to PCOM, PCOM Georgia, and/or PCOM South Georgia.
Applicants who wish to apply to any of our three locations (Philadelphia, PA; Suwanee, GA; and/or Moultrie, GA) must submit a separate AACOMAS application for each location, pay the corresponding AACOMAS fees, as well as submit to PCOM an institutional application fee for each location applied. Letters of recommendation must be submitted to all AACOMAS applications. The location-specific PCOM application fee is required in order for the Office of Admissions to process that application and assess which letters of recommendation meet the PCOM letter requirement.
There is no Supplemental Application for 2020.
Although the requirements and the processes are the same, each application is evaluated for that particular location by the individual Faculty Committee on Admissions for each location.
We will acknowledge receipt of each AACOMAS application electronically to the email address provided on your AACOMAS application; this message will include instructions on how to pay the PCOM application fee of $75 (per location). The application fee(s) and all required materials must be received by the Office of Admissions by March 2, 2020. However, early submission is strongly recommended as interviewees are selected and decisions are rendered on a rolling basis.
Permanent Residents of the U.S. will be required to provide a copy of their Permanent Resident card ("green card") prior to admission. NOTE: Permanent Residency status "pending" is not eligible for admission.
You can send your MCAT exam results directly from AAMC to AACOMAS so long as AACOMAS accepts updates. After AACOMAS stops accepting updates, you can send your AAMC verification code and ID via e-mail to admissions@pcom.edu.
The MCAT must be taken within three years of the desired date of matriculation. For 2020 enrollment, exams taken before August 2017 will not be accepted to complete an applicant record.
A letter of recommendation from your pre-health or academic advisor/committee (undergraduate, post-baccalaureate or graduate programs). NOTE: This is the preferred letter of recommendation by the DO Faculty Committee on Admissions.
Three faculty letters of recommendation: Two of those three letters must be from SCIENCE professors (undergraduate, post-baccalaureate or graduate programs). The remaining required letter can come from any other faculty member.
Please note that this is the only letter REQUIREMENT, however, we will accept a limited number of additional letters from other individuals.
All Recommendation letters must be on letterhead and preferably signed by the recommenders. If a submitted letter does not arrive on letterhead, you will find a note in your PCOM Application Portal indicating the need for you to request resubmission by the recommender on letterhead.
Recommendation letters must be submitted through AACOMAS to each PCOM location selected, or via e-mail to recommend@pcom.edu. We cannot accept letters from other sources.
If a letter of recommendation has been added to AACOMAS after you have received your acknowledgment email from PCOM, please notify us via email to admissions@pcom.edu with your PCOM User ID and the name of the recommender so that the Admissions staff can retrieve your letter from AACOMAS.
Letters of recommendation processed through Interfolio may, upon your request to Interfolio, be emailed directly to recommend@pcom.edu.
Your PCOM Application Portal (login sent via email upon receipt of application) will not list each letter received. Rather, those listed will only reflect those that will help satisfy the Letter of Recommendation requirement. The PreHealth letter will remain required until received OR all three faculty letters have been received.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the receipt of all required materials by AACOMAS as well as PCOM. Candidates are expected to review the applicant portals frequently and to exercise patience during the processing of all application materials.
Please note that the PCOM applicant portal will not provide status updates nor indicate that a record is "complete". Once required items are received and processed, a received date will be populated in each appropriate field. Note that applications missing "required" information are incomplete and will not be reviewed by the committee for interview eligibility. The Office of Admissions cannot verify if applications are complete by phone or email.
Qualified applicants selected by the Faculty Committee on Admissions are invited for a personal on-campus interview on a rolling basis. Interviews begin in mid-September and will be conducted through March 2020. If you are selected for an interview, you will be sent an email with a proposed date for your interview. A candidate can be selected for an interview at any time throughout the review process as deemed competitive by the Faculty Committee on Admissions.
Applicants to our Philadelphia location will receive an email from DOInterviewPHL@pcom.edu. Applicants to PCOM Georgia and/or PCOM South Georgia will receive their invitation from DOInterviewGA@pcom.edu.
Please add these addresses to your directory so they will not be captured in any email filters.
Again, we will use the email address provided on your AACOMAS application. Please check your account on a regular basis. It is your responsibility to notify us, in writing via e-mail to admissions@pcom.edu, if your email address changes.
PCOM requires all students to adhere to PCOM's Technical Standards for Admission and Matriculation. For more information regarding Osteopathic Principles and Practice (OPP) Mandatory Course Requirements click here.
Interviewed candidates are usually notified via U.S. Postal Service within 4-6 weeks of their interview date.
All accepted candidates are also required to remit a $1,500 non-refundable deposit by April 15, 2020. The candidate is also asked to review and acknowledge PCOM's Technical Standards for Admission and Matriculation by sending the completed/signed forms to TechStandardsPHL@pcom.edu or TechstandardsGA@pcom.edu.
To ensure that students accepted to PCOM will be permitted to perform clerkships during their third and fourth clinical years, and thus ensure them the opportunity to successfully complete their DO degree requirements, as well as to ensure the safety of the PCOM community, PCOM requires all first year students to complete a criminal background check prior to matriculation using only the PCOM vendor of choice. This process must be completed by the student prior to the start of their first year classes by the posted deadline or the candidate will not be permitted to begin their course work. Directions for this process will be forwarded to accepted and confirmed students in the spring prior to matriculation.
Proficiency in written and oral English appropriate to graduate and professional study is expected of all PCOM students. Any applicant whose native language is not English or whose undergraduate instruction was not in English must demonstrate objective competency in English within the past two years by satisfactory performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The minimum required score for the IBT (Internet Based Testing) is 79 and a minimum score of 26 is required for the speaking component. Your score is considered too old, and will not be accepted, if it is more than 2 years old from the start of your admission term. Country of citizenship does not exempt applicants from this requirement. Language of instruction at the college or university level, and how recent it has been, are the determining factors in meeting this requirement. General writing assistance is available for theses and dissertations, however, as an institution offering only graduate and professional programs, PCOM does not offer remedial ESL coursework.
they have completed at least two full-time semesters of graded course work, exclusive of ESL courses, in a U.S. college or university, or at an institution outside the U.S. where English is the exclusive language of instruction, not more than 5 years prior to the anticipated semester of enrollment.
PCOM does not routinely accept transfer students; however, a transfer application may be considered under extenuating circumstances and depending on seats available in the class. Consideration will be given only to a student who is in good standing at an AOA-accredited college of osteopathic medicine or who is eligible for re-admission to the previously attended college of osteopathic medicine. COMLEX I must have a passing grade prior to matriculation at PCOM if the student is accepted by the faculty committee on Admissions.
The initial request for transfer must originate from the dean of the college or university from which the student wishes to transfer and must be directed to the dean of the PCOM location to which he or she is applying. Application materials must be submitted and a formal interview with the Faculty Committee on Admissions will be required once this conversation has occurred.
If accepted, a transfer student will be given credit for courses successfully passed at the previous college that meet PCOM's curriculum requirements. A minimum of two years must be completed at PCOM for a student to be eligible to receive the DO degree.
Transfer requests from one PCOM location to another must be discussed with the Dean at the PCOM location of enrollment.
For all other students entering the DO program, PCOM does not grant advanced standing or credit for prior learning or for courses completed at other institutions.

When we first wrote about Scoop.it, Martin Bryant called it "Tumblr without the blogging". The idea is simple, but the implications could very well be huge. Scoop.it is a curation service that allows you to find the best of things that interest you and gather them all into one place.
While that hasn't changed, the team has realized that you probably want to do more than just curate your own list of content. While it's great to be the resource, and not always the source, many of us wanted to integrate our Scoop.it topics into existing pages such as WordPress, Tumblr and LinkedIn.
With this release, curation is not a stand-alone act any more. Users will not only have more sharing options than the current Twitter and Facebook ones, but they will also be able to use their curation on the destination platform of their choice: on top of building their audience on their Scoop.it page as they do now, they'll be able to bring their Scoop.it curated content to their existing blogs (Tumblr, WordPress) or to their Facebook pages.
So instead of having people be forced to head to your Scoop.it page, you can now integrate that content across many more places on the Internet. What's more? You now have Scoop.it widgets too, that you can display on your personal sites.
So there you have it. Your interests, shared to more places and done so in the simplest of ways. Sounds like something you'd like to check out? You can do so by clicking this link to get your invitation to the private beta. Have thoughts about Scoop.it? Let us know in the comments.


Swimming is a minor sport for both boys and girls in the Summer term.
The main aim of swimming at Pangbourne is to improve fitness and provide an alternative sport for students.
Dunbar (Forms 1 and 2) students have one afternoon of swimming a week learning basic techniques and students in Forms 3 and 4 can opt to do swimming alongside their major sport and enter a gala.
The Sixth Form and Form 5 can choose swimming as their main sport in the Summer term which gives them the opportunity to train four times a week and enter three or four galas involving other schools.
Swimmers are encouraged to improve their strokes in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
Pangbourne links up with Brockhurst and Marlston House with Dunbar students using its facilities and swimming coaches, while Form 3 and above use Pangbourne's outdoor, heated 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool which has two changing rooms with showers.
There is an Inter-Divisional swimming gala held at Pangbourne every year which is one of the highlights of the Summer term.

Washington, D.C. — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced that the members of the Commission have unanimously elected Commissioner Rostin Behnam as Acting Chairman effective immediately.
Acting Chairman Behnam succeeds Heath P. Tarbert who served as Chairman since July 15, 2019, and announced his departure from the role earlier today. Mr. Tarbert remains a Commissioner, serving a term expiring on April 13, 2024. [See CFTC Press Release No. 8354-21]
"I want to express gratitude to President Biden for the opportunity to serve in this capacity," said Acting Chairman Behnam. "The work of the CFTC is critical to supporting the stability and growth of the American economy through strong oversight and regulation of derivatives markets. As a commissioner, I have focused on ensuring our rules prioritize customer protections, examining potential systemic market risk, and gaining a better understanding of what regulators can do to address climate-related financial market risk. I am grateful to my fellow commissioners for their support, and I look forward to continuing to work with Commissioners Quintenz, Stump, Berkovitz, and Tarbert as well as with the hundreds of extraordinary employees and contractors who continually demonstrate excellence in upholding our mission and purpose. I thank Commissioner Tarbert for his service as Chairman and for facilitating a smooth transition."
