Yamaha has been leading the way in the 115 horsepower four-stroke category for over ten years, with exceptional models that have proven the true value and versatility that a four-stroke outboard can deliver Australian boaters.
With its increased engine capacity and a weight reduction of 15kg, the latest generation Yamaha F115 offers the best power-to-weight performance in its class - while maintaining an extremely fuel efficient and smooth operation that Yamaha four-strokes are famous for. This engine utilises a 16 valve, dual overhead camshaft design, electronic fuel injection and big bore throttle body to deliver awesome acceleration and mid-range responsiveness.
The 16 valve, 1.8 litre dual overhead camshaft design delivers superior efficiency in the transfer of intake and exhaust gasses throughout the RPM range. The F115 incorporates larger intake and exhaust valves which enhance response, efficiency and mid-range torque.
81MM Cylinder Bore
The cylinder bore size has been increased from 79mm to 81mm which provides more engine torque. A larger valve was adopted for increased transfer efficiency for both intake and exhaust.
Counter Rotating Propeller
This engine offers a counter rotating propeller option for improved steering control for twin engine setups, ensuring the vessel maintains a 'neutral helm' at any speed.
Multi-Point Electronic Fuel Injection
The previous-generation F75 used a 79mm cylinder bore, in the next-generation F90 the cylinder bore size has been increased from 79mm to 81mm which provides more efficient power delivery. A larger valve has been used for increased transfer efficiency for both intake and exhaust.
The crankshaft design is offset by 5mm from the centre of the cylinder. This innovative design decreases internal friction and promotes a more efficient transfer of power to the crankshaft.
Yamaha's Shift Dampener System (SDS), built into selected Yamaha propellers, delivers smooth and quiet operation when shifting in and out of gear by absorbing the force that is created.
Single Ram Power Trim and Tilt
The compact and light-weight single ram power, trim and tilt (PTT) unit and bracket have been developed exclusively for this engine.

Q: A thought experiment regarding a unidirectionally permeable membrane Imagine a container containing a solution with a solute, X, evenly distributed within it. Say we could engineer a membrane to split the container that only allows particles of X from say, left to right; would the concentration of X on right side of the membrane increase beyond the left side?
From a thermodynamic perspective, it seems pretty certain that this would not happen because the entropy of the system would reduce if a net movement of X to one side of the container occurs; and there is no energy input that would explain this.
But from the perspective of the particles themselves, this doesn't really make sense (to me anyways). If particles move according to Brownian motion, then surely particles of X on the left side would randomly collide into our membrane and pass through to the right side; whereas on the right particles of X cannot pass through to the left side. How do individual particles of X 'know' (forgive the personification!) that moving from left to right is thermodynamically unfavourable? Is there some other mediating factor that stops particles of X moving through the membrane at all?
Just to clear up a few things:
I realise that if there was a net movement of X to the right then an osmotic pressure would also build up. Let's say that either the membrane we make is highly compliant or is permeable to water so this is not an issue.
My other suspicion was that making a unidirectional membrane like this is impossible; but as far as I can tell they already exist in nature - carrier proteins that are used to transport solutes down concentration gradients are unidirectional (atleast from what I know; if this is a misconception please tell).
Sorry if this question has already been asked in some other form, I suspect it probably has been but in rather mathematical language which would have gone over my head; I don't have much of a physics/maths background!

A:
My other suspicion was that making a unidirectional membrane like this is impossible; but as far as I can tell they already exist in nature - carrier proteins that are used to transport solutes down concentration gradients are unidirectional (atleast from what I know; if this is a misconception please tell).

Making a passive transporter that does this would be impossible.  You'd be able to extract energy from the concentration gradient that it created.
But membranes like your example are possible, they simply use active transport mechanisms.  Protein pumps can create concentration gradients, but consume energy to do so.

BOSTON -- It's not a futuristic technology anymore. Machine learning approaches are coming to mainstream data analytics and management.
The changes will come about as machine learning and related advanced analytics techniques surpass familiar BI approaches, and data professionals should prepare, according to noted database technologist Michael Stonebraker.
Speaking at Enterprise Data World 2019 here, Stonebraker advised data professionals to "start learning about machine learning packages -- because that is what you are going to be doing."
The effect of machine learning approaches will reach into many aspects of data management, he said in an EDW keynote presentation. The changes range from a full-scale effort to automate all aspects of database operations to new methods of data tagging based on patterns uncovered by machine learning programs.
The machine learning charge is driven by greater data volume, velocity and variety, said Stonebraker, an adjunct professor at MIT who has played major roles in the development of such data management technologies and companies as Ingres, Illustra, Vertica, Tamr and Postgres, the predecessor to the PostgreSQL open source database.
For data pros, learning about machine learning need not be entirely arduous, Stonebraker indicated. He advised them to "buy a linear algebra book," as it underlies much of what forms machine learning today.
In an interview after his presentation, Stonebraker expanded on that advice. He said much of the basic machine learning programming will be provided in packages created by software makers, but users will need to have some understanding of the principles behind machine learning predictions to successfully use the new technology.
The machine learning discussion continued at EDW in sessions such as one led by data analytics team leaders at FINRA, an independent financial industry regulatory authority based in Washington, D.C.
In a session entitled "Ushering in the Age of Machine Learning," Kristen Serafin, associate director of advanced analytics for market manipulation surveillance at FINRA, and Lizzie Westin, a lead data analyst there, described steps the organization has taken to bring machine learning to bear on what is big data by almost anyone's measure. FINRA, Serafin estimated, processes data on 135 billion financial market events per day.
She said FINRA has pursued machine learning within the context of research and development. Treating it experimentally was an important step, according to Serafin. While the authority abandoned some efforts, she said, other work turned into operational improvements at FINRA.
Serafin said some generally useful project practices apply with machine learning, too. Teams must understand the nature of the data in terms of such characteristics as volume and quality, and groups must gain skills to work with tools in the new technical environment, she told EDW attendees.
Meanwhile, getting users to accept the software, as always, is needed to achieve success. There, communication is key.
"You need to get buy-in first, and then turn that into sponsorship," Serafin said. "We did that through targeted training for business users."
The targeted training included stripping out a lot of technical language in presentations and focusing on real-world examples.
Conference attendee Kumar Pillai marked machine learning as a primary area of interest just now. In his role as leader of global program management at job site Indeed.com, based in Austin, Texas, he deals with this with some caution.
In an interview, Pillai said traditional rule-based algorithms can still handle a large number of the use cases in organizations -- ones in which the patterns for analytics are already familiar.
Where machine learning approaches differ, he said, is in cases where "you don't know what you don't know." Such cases, Pillai continued, often are about discovering new patterns.
He said the kinds of tool packages that emerge for machine learning will ultimately dictate the strategies that companies pursue for the next generation of AI-oriented analytics.
"Machine learning, AI and big data -- this is all now pretty much at the height of the hype cycle, but many people don't know what the optimal uses are," Pillai said.
How is your organization approaching machine learning as you map out new data management activities?

The Dorothy Gees Seckler collection of sound recordings relating to art and artists measures 1.6 linear feet and dates from 1962 to 1976. Recordings include 17 interviews conducted by Seckler, one interview by John Jones, and 17 additional recordings of mostly contemporary art-related programs and interviews taped from radio and television broadcasts. Recordings are on 26 sound cassettes and 25 sound tape reels.
Interviews with Artists consist of 17 interviews by Dorothy Seckler with artists including Elise Asher, Fritz Bultman, Judith Rothschild, Giorgio Cavallon, Marcia Marcus, Jean Cohen, William Freed, Lillian Orlowsky, Shirley Gorelick, Hans Hofmann, Wolf Kahn, Raoul Middleman, Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, Olin Orr, Larry Rivers, Alvin Ross, George Segal, Jean Tinguely, and Niki de Saint Phalle. Several interviews are with two subjects at once. Many of these interviews were conducted in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and are referenced in her introduction to the catalog for the exhibition Provincetown Painters, 1890's – 1970's held at the Everson Museum and the Provincetown Art Association in 1977, and several interviews were conducted as research for articles Seckler wrote and published in Art in America. Also found are group interviews on specific subjects, including an interview with Julio de Diego, Marion Greenwood, Fletcher Martin, and Anton Refregier on the Woodstock art colony, and with Sally Avery, Boris Margo, Jan Gelb, Margit Beck and others on Op Art. In September of 1966, Seckler recorded some of Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable in Provincetown, which includes a performance by Nico and the Velvet Underground, as well as an interview with one of the band's members, John Cale. A single interview conducted by John Jones of George Segal appears to have been copied by Seckler to prepare for her April 1966 interview of Segal.
Broadcast materials include sound recordings of television and radio broadcast programs taped off the air presumably by Seckler. Most programs are interviews, with subjects including Maxim Karolik, James Thomas Flexner, R. Buckminster Fuller, Merce Cunningham, Alex Katz, Phillip Pearlstein, Roslyn Drexler, Barnet Newman, Saul Bellow, Ben Shahn, Marshall McLuhan, Isamu Noguchi, Andrew Wyeth, and William H Whyte. Other recordings include documentary programs related to contemporary art, book reviews, and a comedy performance with actor Peter Ustinov.
Photographs include 12 color slides from October of 1967 that appear to have been shot in Provincetown, Mass. Subjects include Dorothy Seckler and two other unidentified women.
This collection is arranged in 3 series.
Series 1: Interviews with Artists, 1962-1976 (1 linear foot; Box 1)
Series 2: Broadcast Materials, 1962-1972 (0.8 linear feet; Boxes 2-3)
Series 3: Photographs, 1967 (1 folder; Box 3)
Dorothy Gees Seckler was an art historian, critic, journalist, and artist active in New York City and Provincetown, Mass. Born Dorothy Elizabeth Gees in Baltimore, MD in 1910, she completed the program in Advertising Design at Maryland Institute College of Art in 1931 and was awarded a traveling scholarship upon graduation, which she used to study in Europe. She later received a masters degree from Columbia University in Art History and Art Education, and worked during World War II as head of an illustration unit in the Army's Judge Advocate General's office.
After the war, she worked at the Museum of Modern Art as an art historian in the education office until 1950, when she began writing for ARTnews magazine, reviewing New York gallery shows for its "Gallery Notes" section, and exploring painters' processes in the "Paints a Picture" series. She later served as contributing editor for Art in America from the late 1950s through the late 1960s, where her published work included features on Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Nevelson, as well as broad surveys of contemporary art such as "A Folklore of the Banal" (Winter 1962) and "Audience is His Medium" (February 1963). She taught at New York University and City College of New York, and wrote a long essay on the history of the Provincetown's art colony, published in Art in America in 1959, and later updated for the catalog for the 1977 exhibition Provincetown Painters, 1890's - 1970's. Between 1962 and 1968, she conducted thirty oral history interviews for the Archives of American Art and served as one of its manuscript collectors.
Throughout her career as a writer and critic, Seckler painted and worked in collage, and her work was shown in several Provincetown galleries, and in the Provincetown Art Center and Museum. She married Jerome Seckler in 1937 and they had one son. Seckler received the American Federation of Arts Award for outstanding writing in the field of American Art in 1952. She died in 1994.
Other related materials in the Archives' collections include several additional interviews conducted by Seckler for its oral history program, a full recording and transcript of the August 28, 1963 symposium on pop art, for which brief sound notes are found in this collection, and a transcript of the John Jones interview with George Segal in the John Jones interviews with artists collection, 1965 Oct. 5-1965 Nov. 12.
Separated Materials:
In 2012, several duplicates of recordings Seckler made for the Archives of American Art's oral history program were removed from the collection including: Peter and Riva Dechar (1965 and 1967), David von Schlegell (1967), Joan Mitchell (1965), Theresa Schwartz (1965), Paul Burlin (1962), Ibram Lassaw (1964), Jack Tworkov (1962), Allan Kaprow (1968), Edwin Dickinson (1962), Nathan Halper (1963), Louise Nevelson (1964-1965), Karl Knaths (1962), and Stephen Greene (1968). Joan Mitchell's 1965 oral history interview remains with the Seckler collection because reel 2 of this recording also contains a discussion of optical art that belongs in the Seckler collection. The oral history interview has been digitized and is available through the Archives' oral history program.
The bulk of the collection, including the interviews with the Provincetown artists, was donated 1995 by Don Seckler, son of Dorothy Seckler. The source of acquisition for the Seckler interviews with the Woodstock artists is unknown.

LETTER XXIV
NICE, January 4, 1765.
DEAR SIR., - The constitution of this climate may be pretty well ascertained, from the inclosed register of the weather, which I kept with all possible care and attention. From a perusal of it, you will see that there is less rain and wind at Nice, than in any other part of the world that I know; and such is the serenity of the air, that you see nothing above your head for several months together, but a charming blue expanse, without cloud or speck. Whatever clouds may be formed by evaporation of the sea, they seldom or never hover over this small territory; but, in all probability, are attracted by the mountains that surround it, and there fall in rain or snow: as for those that gather from other quarters, I suppose their progress hitherward is obstructed by those very Alps, which rise one over another, to an extent of many leagues. This air being dry, pure, heavy, and elastic, must be agreeable to the constitution of those who labour under disorders arising from weak nerves, obstructed perspiration, relaxed fibres, a viscidity of lymph, and a languid circulation. In other respects, it encourages the scurvy, the atmosphere being undoubtedly impregnated with sea-salt. Ever since my arrival at Nice, I have had a scorbutical eruption on my right hand, which diminishes and increases according to the state of my health. One day last summer, when there was a strong breeze from the sea, the surface of our bodies was covered with a salt brine, very perceptible to the taste; my gums, as well as those of another person in my family, began to swell, and grow painful, though this had never happened before; and I was seized with violent pains in the joints of my knees. I was then at a country-house fronting the sea, and particularly exposed to the marine air. The swelling of our gums subsided as the wind fell: but what was very remarkable, the scurvy-spot on my hand disappeared, and did not return for a whole month. It is affirmed that sea-salt will dissolve, and render the blood so fluid, that it will exude through the coats of the vessels. Perhaps the sea-scurvy is a partial dissolution of it, by that mineral absorbed from the air by the lymphatics on the surface of the body, and by those of the lungs in respiration. Certain it is, in the last stages of the sea-scurvy, the blood often bursts from the pores; and this phaenomenon is imputed to a high degree of putrefaction: sure enough it is attended with putrefaction. We know that a certain quantity of salt is required to preserve the animal juices from going putrid: but, how a greater quantity should produce putrefaction, I leave to wiser heads to explain. Many people here have scorbutical complaints, though their teeth are not affected. They are subject to eruptions on the skin, putrid gums, pains in the bones, lassitude, indigestion, and low spirits; but the reigning distemper is a marasmus, or consumption, which proceeds gradually, without any pulmonary complaint, the complexion growing more and more florid, 'till the very last scene of the tragedy. This I would impute to the effects of a very dry, saline atmosphere, upon a thin habit, in which there is an extraordinary waste by perspiration. The air is remarkably salt in this district, because the mountains that hem it in, prevent its communication with the circumambient atmosphere, in which the saline particles would otherwise be diffused; and there is no rain, nor dew, to precipitate or dissolve them. Such an air as I have described, should have no bad effect upon a moist, phlegmatic constitution, such as mine; and yet it must be owned, I have been visibly wasting since I came hither, though this decay I considered as the progress of the tabes which began in England. But the air of Nice has had a still more sensible effect upon Mr. Sch - z, who laboured under nervous complaints to such a degree, that life was a burthen to him. He had also a fixed pain in his breast, for which complaint he had formerly tried the air of Naples, where he resided some considerable time, and in a great measure recovered: but, this returning with weakness, faintness, low spirits, and entire loss of appetite, he was advised to come hither; and the success of his journey has greatly exceeded his expectation. Though the weather has been remarkably bad for this climate, he has enjoyed perfect health. Since he arrived at Nice, the pain in his breast has vanished; he eats heartily, sleeps well, is in high spirits, and so strong, that he is never off his legs in the day-time. He can walk to the Var and back again, before dinner; and he has climbed to the tops of all the mountains in this neighbourhood. I never saw before such sudden and happy effects from the change of air. I must also acknowledge, that ever since my arrival at Nice, I have breathed more freely than I had done for some years, and my spirits have been more alert. The father of my housekeeper, who was a dancing-master, had been so afflicted with an asthmatic disorder, that he could not live in France, Spain, or Italy; but found the air of Nice so agreeable to his lungs, that he was enabled to exercise his profession for above twenty years, and died last spring turned of seventy. Another advantage I have reaped from this climate is my being, in a great measure, delivered from a slow fever which used to hang about me, and render life a burthen. Neither am I so apt to catch cold as I used to be in England and France; and the colds I do catch are not of the same continuance and consequence, as those to which I was formerly subject. The air of Nice is so dry, that in summer, and even in winter, (except ill wet weather) you may pass the evening, and indeed the whole night, sub Dio, without feeling the least dew or moisture; and as for fogs, they are never seen in this district. In summer, the air is cooled by a regular sea-breeze blowing from the cast, like that of the West-Indies. It begins in the forenoon, and increases with the heat of the day. It dies away about six or seven; and immediately after sun-set is succeeded by an agreeable land-breeze from the mountains. The sea-breeze from the eastward, however, is not so constant here, as in the West-Indies between the tropicks, because the sun, which produces it, is not so powerful. This country lies nearer the region of variable winds, and is surrounded by mountains, capes, and straights, which often influence the constitution and current of the air. About the winter solstice, the people of Nice expect wind and rain, which generally lasts, with intervals, 'till the beginning of February: but even during this, their worst weather, the sun breaks out occasionally, and you may take the air either a-foot or on horseback every day; for the moisture is immediately absorbed by the earth, which is naturally dry. They likewise lay their account with being visited by showers of rain and gusts of wind in April. A week's rain in the middle of August makes them happy. It not only refreshes the parched ground, and plumps up the grapes and other fruit, but it cools the air and assuages the beets, which then begin to grow very troublesome; but the rainy season is about the autumnal equinox, or rather something later. It continues about twelve days or a fortnight, and is extremely welcome to the natives of this country. This rainy season is often delayed 'till the latter end of November, and sometimes 'till the month of December; in which case, the rest of the winter is generally dry. The heavy rains in this country generally come with a south-west wind, which was the creberque procellis Africus, the stormy southwest, of the antients. It is here called Lebeche, a corruption of Lybicus: it generally blows high for a day or two, and rolls the Mediterranean before it in huge waves, that often enter the town of Nice. It likewise drives before it all the clouds which had been formed above the surface of the Mediterranean. These being expended in rain, fair weather naturally ensues. For this reason, the Nissards observe le lebeche racommode le tems, the Lebeche settles the weather. During the rains of this season, however, the winds have been variable. From the sixteenth of November, 'till the fourth of January, we have had two and twenty days of heavy rain: a very extraordinary visitation in this country: but the seasons seem to be more irregular than formerly, all over Europe. In the month of July, the mercury in Fahrenheit's thermometer, rose to eighty-four at Rome, the highest degree at which it was ever known in that country; and the very next day, the Sabine mountains were covered with snow. The same phaemomenon happened on the eleventh of August, and the thirtieth of September. The consequence of these sudden variations of weather, was this: putrid fevers were less frequent than usual; but the sudden cheek of perspiration from the cold, produced colds, inflammatory sore throats, and the rheumatism. I know instances of some English valetudinarians, who have passed the winter at Aix, on the supposition that there was little or no difference between that air and the climate of Nice: but this is a very great mistake, which may be attended with fatal consequences. Aix is altogether exposed to the north and north-west winds, which blow as cold in Provence, as ever I felt them on the mountains of Scotland: whereas Nice is entirely screened from these winds by the Maritime Alps, which form an amphitheatre, to the land-side, around this little territory: but another incontestible proof of the mildness of this climate, is deduced from the oranges, lemons, citrons, roses, narcissus's, july-flowers, and jonquils, which ripen and blow in the middle of winter. I have described the agreeable side of this climate; and now I will point out its inconveniences. In the winter, but especially in the spring, the sun is so hot, that one can hardly take exercise of any sort abroad, without being thrown into a breathing sweat; and the wind at this season is so cold and piercing, that it often produces a mischievous effect on the pores thus opened. If the heat rarifies the blood and juices, while the cold air constringes the fibres, and obstructs the perspiration, inflammatory disorders must ensue. Accordingly, the people are then subject to colds, pleurisies, peripneumonies, and ardent fevers. An old count advised me to stay within doors in March, car alors les humeurs commencent a se remuer, for then the humours begin to be in motion. During the heats of summer, some few persons of gross habits have, in consequence of violent exercise and excess, been seized with putrid fevers, attended with exanthemata, erisipelatous, and miliary eruptions, which commonly prove fatal: but the people in general are healthy, even those that take very little exercise: a strong presumption in favour of the climate! As to medicine, I know nothing of the practice of the Nice physicians. Here are eleven in all; but four or five make shift to live by the profession. They receive, by way of fee, ten sols (an English six-pence) a visit, and this is but ill paid: so you may guess whether they are in a condition to support the dignity of physic; and whether any man, of a liberal education, would bury himself at Nice on such terms. I am acquainted with an Italian physician settled at Villa Franca, a very good sort of a man, who practises for a certain salary, raised by annual contribution among the better sort of people; and an allowance from the king, for visiting the sick belonging to the garrison and the gallies. The whole may amount to near thirty pounds.
Among the inconveniences of this climate, the vermin form no inconsiderable article. Vipers and snakes are found in the mountains. Our gardens swarm with lizzards; and there are some few scorpions; but as yet I have seen but one of this species. In summer, notwithstanding all the care and precautions we can take, we are pestered with incredible swarms of flies, fleas, and bugs; but the gnats, or couzins, are more intolerable than all the rest. In the day-time, it is impossible to keep the flies out of your mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears. They croud into your milk, tea, chocolate, soup, wine, and water: they soil your sugar, contaminate your victuals, and devour your fruit; they cover and defile your furniture, floors, cielings, and indeed your whole body. As soon as candles are lighted, the couzins begin to buz about your ears in myriads, and torment you with their stings, so that you have no rest nor respite 'till you get into bed, where you are secured by your mosquito-net. This inclosure is very disagreeable in hot weather; and very inconvenient to those, who, like me, are subject to a cough and spitting. It is moreover ineffectual; for some of those cursed insects insinuate themselves within it, almost every night; and half a dozen of them are sufficient to disturb you 'till morning. This is a plague that continues all the year; but in summer it is intolerable. During this season, likewise, the moths are so mischievous, that it requires the utmost care to preserve woollen cloths from being destroyed. From the month of May, 'till the beginning of October, the heat is so violent, that you cannot stir abroad after six in the morning 'till eight at night, so that you are entirely deprived of the benefit of exercise: There is no shaded walk in, or near the town; and there is neither coach nor chaise to hire, unless you travel post. Indeed, there is no road fit for any wheel carriage, but the common highway to the Var, in which you are scorched by the reflexion of the sun from the sand and stones, and at the same time half stifled with dust. If you ride out in the cool of the evening, you will have the disadvantage of returning in the dark.
Among the demerits of Nice, I must also mention the water which is used in the city. It is drawn from wells; and for the most part so hard, that it curdles with soap. There are many fountains and streams in the neighbourhood, that afford excellent water, which, at no great charge, might be conveyed into the town, so as to form conduits in all the public streets: but the inhabitants are either destitute of public spirit, or cannot afford the expense. [General Paterson delivered a Plan to the King of Sardinia for supplying Nice with excellent water for so small an expence as one livre a house per annum; but the inhabitants remonstrated against it as an intolerable Imposition.] I have a draw-well in my porch, and another in my garden, which supply tolerable water for culinary uses; but what we drink, is fetched from a well belonging to a convent of Dominicans in this neighbourhood. Our linnen is washed in the river Paglion; and when that is dry, in the brook called Limpia, which runs into the harbour.
In mentioning the water of this neighbourhood, I ought not to omit the baths of Rocabiliare, a small town among the mountains, about five and twenty miles from Nice. There are three sources, each warmer than the other; the warmest being nearly equal to the heat of the king's bath at Bath in Somersetshire, as far as I can judge from information. I have perused a Latin manuscript, which treats of these baths at Rocabiliare, written by the duke of Savoy's first physician about sixty years ago. He talks much of the sulphur and the nitre which they contain; but I apprehend their efficacy is owing to the same volatile vitriolic principle, which characterises the waters at Bath. They are attenuating and deobstruent, consequently of service in disorders arising from a languid circulation, a viscidity of the juices, a lax fibre, and obstructed viscera. The road from hence to Rocabiliare is in some parts very dangerous, lying along the brink of precipices, impassable to any other carriage but a mule. The town itself affords bad lodging and accommodation, and little or no society. The waters are at the distance of a mile and a half from the town: there are no baths nor shelter, nor any sort of convenience for those that drink them; and the best part of their efficacy is lost, unless they are drank at the fountain-head. If these objections were in some measure removed, I would advise valetudinarians, who come hither for the benefit of this climate, to pass the heats of summer at Rocabiliare, which being situated among mountains, enjoys a cool temperate air all the summer. This would be a salutary respite from the salt air of Nice, to those who labour under scorbutical complaints; and they would return with fresh vigour and spirits, to pass the winter in this place, where no severity of weather is known. Last June, when I found myself so ill at my cassine, I had determined to go to Rocabiliare, and even to erect a hut at the spring, for my own convenience. A gentleman of Nice undertook to procure me a tolerable lodging in the house of the cure, who was his relation. He assured me, there was no want of fresh butter, good poultry, excellent veal, and delicate trout; and that the articles of living might be had at Rocabiliare for half the price we paid at Nice: but finding myself grow better immediately on my return from the cassine to my own house, I would not put myself to the trouble and expence of a further removal.
I think I have now communicated all the particulars relating to Nice, that are worth knowing; and perhaps many more than you desired to know: but, in such cases, I would rather be thought prolix and unentertaining, than deficient in that regard and attention with which I am very sincerely, - Your friend and servant.

LIFE: Popular Music
I first became aware of Hull based four-piece LIFE when they were personally recommended to the audience at this years Live At Leeds Festival by IDLES. Lead singer Joe Talbot said "They are like us, but more refined", anyone who meets IDLES seal of approval is alright by me, and after listening to their debut album "Popular Music" I am in complete concurrence with IDLES.
This album delivers a smorgasbord of varied influences, uplifting choruses, and downtrodden social commentary. Opening with "In Your Hands" LIFE instantly show us what they are all about with punk ethics, howling guitars and riotous, explosive, choruses. Lead singer Mez Sanders-Green's disenfranchised lyrics are at odds to the excitable, hyper, energy in the instrumentation, but yet they complement each other perfectly.
Much debate has been made of whether or not "Popular Music" is intended as an ironic title. I am undecided on this but I think that their appeal is built on similar foundations to those of Cabbage. If you want the high energy, catchy licks, head banging moments and moments of euphoria then you will find those in abundance, especially in tracks like "Sugar God", "Electricity" and "Euromillions". However, if you are looking for something a bit more substantial, maybe some hard-edged political lyrics or some grittier composition you will also find this, often within the same tracks I mentioned previously. This is the beauty of LIFE, whatever you are looking to find within this album it is there for you if you look hard enough. This is best displayed in "Electricity" where they combine protest lyrics with punchy, nineties inspired, fast-paced and memorable chorus lines.
LIFE produce moments reminiscent of punk greats like The Clash and grunge acts like Pennywise stirred up in their own unique style to make something which manages to simultaneously sound progressive and retrospective.
"Popular Music" is available now from iTunes on the Afghan Moon label.

Every year on the fourth of July, families across the country gather in jubilant celebration of the birth of our proud democracy. We join together to commemorate our forefathers' defiant stand to secure those inalienable rights we enjoy today, and to venerate that hard-won freedom. Take part in a tour of my star-spangled Independence Day event for décor ideas to plan your own patriotic party with!
History was heralded with a welcoming wreath spangled with bright steel stars and the broad stripes of old glory… denoting a gallantly streaming flag hailed through the perilous fight.
The theatre's horizon displayed a dazzling banner of classic Americana exclaiming, "God Bless America". An explosion of color extended to thematic paper plates, blue cups, and flag printed napkins. A plain white vintage water pitcher was adorned with the sparkle of a steel star and flag ribbon.
Decorating rebellion manifested itself with a centerpiece, placed off-center, of beribboned candles atop vintage ceiling tile candlesticks… all to represent Lady Liberty's torch. Hanging from them were steel stars and flag painted Christmas ball ornaments… representing bombs bursting in air and the flag that was still there. A galvanized pail held utensils set for dessert.
Revelers were offered the refreshment of blue patriot punch held in sustainable vessels festooned with stars and stripes. Further sustenance was provided with chips in a red painted basket (from the Beanitos brand made in the USA).
The memory of George Washington was honored with "truthful cherry patriotic pie" (of my own upcoming gluten-free vegan recipe) held high in esteem upon a metal pillar spelled with zinc USA letters. Sweet vegan tarts crowned with candy stars (from another American brand Hail Merry) topped a second pillar swathed in more stars.
The fore-field was set as an all American build a burger bar over the classic American staple of blue jean cloth set over a red tablecloth. Blasts of star spray shot out from beneath a centermost tray… connoting embattled fireworks.
Homemade burger buns (of my own upcoming gluten-free vegan recipe) were displayed in a pewter dish. Behind that sat a vintage tray offering hamburger accompaniments… like heirloom tomato slices, organic green onion, artisan leaf lettuce, and locally grown red onion slices.
An additional vintage pewter dish served onion loaded beef patties (another of my upcoming recipes). Slices of soy-free vegan cheese (from USA brand Follow Your Heart) were stamped with an American Flag seal of approval. Deep square vintage steel dishes presented pickled okra, onion, cornichons, gherkins, and sun-dried tomato stuffed green olives.
Galvanized metal buckets lined with flag napkins made admirable single-serving fry baskets bursting with seasoned steak fries (see my upcoming recipe). Old-school salt and pepper shakers got the patriotic washi treatment. More vintage dishes contained soy-free veganaise, paprika-free mustard, and corn-syrup-free ketchup… so that no allergy got served.
As the July 4th night sky blazes with the flash of celebratory fireworks, may we all seek to reflect upon the valorous sacrifices made for our collective liberty.
P.S. Keep checking in on my Recipes Page for the latest postings on Gluten-Free & Egg-Free Pies, Fries, & Hamburger Buns! I'm launching a new on-going series of Burger Creations that is set to grow increasingly creative with time!

And this article for July 4th Altered Art Greeting Card as Mailable Mixed Media Independence Day Décor (DIY Collage Art Tutorial)here!
Inspired by our glorious national anthem, I set out to construct my own star-spangled banner (not old glory) to wave over a modern Independence Day celebration. Making a fabric appliqué collage banner is easier than it looks, and it's easy on the budget because it only takes a little fabric, rope, ribbon, and hot fabric glue. That's right, glue… no sewing skills are necessary! This makes it so quick to construct, that it can be made the day before a party. Even better, no one else will have anything like it, because it's your own one-of-a-kind work of art!
Divide the end of your base fabric into 6 inch sections, and mark the underside of the fabric with a pen.
Cut a tapered edge on any tab tops you make, so that it isn't seen on the front after gluing.
Next glue each triangle flap over the rope you've chosen, leaving an inch or so between each. (For the tab-less version, just glue along the top of the triangle's underside to attach it to the rope directly.) Don't forget to tie a loop at each end for hanging.
May you have an absolute blast crafting your own star-spangled banner this Independence Day!
P.S. If you like collage, check out my July 4th Altered Art Greeting Card as Mailable Mixed Media Independence Day Décor (DIY Collage Art Tutorial).
Herald in the fourth of July with an altered art greeting card that doubles as a mailable gift, as it may be framed by the recipient as mixed media décor commemorating Independence Day. It's a delightful way to send a bit of revelry to a loved one who can't attend the year's celebration. This art project is perfect for gathering the whole family together for a fun "crafternoon", because the Design Memory Craft mediums are non-toxic. They are also fully compatible with each other and a large variety of substrates. This product versatility makes it so easy to combine collage material into something impressive. So follow along as I create an art card ablaze with the spirit of the season, then use the ideas to make one infused with your own artistic essence… because a blast of creativity is the best way to start the holiday off with a bang!
Begin with a readymade greeting card base or make your own inexpensively from sturdy cardstock.
I cut a piece of parchment printed paper to a 7 x 10 inch size, so that it could be folded into a 5 x 7 card… perfect for framing.
I used deckle edge cutting scissors to produce a torn looking finish on the card. (I later used the deckle scissors to cut around some of the stamped images too.) Pitt artist pen big brushes are perfect for highlighting such details. Just swipe the side of the brush along the edge to deposit the permanent ink in a rough fashion.
Design Memory Craft gelatos are multipurpose mediums that look like colored chap-sticks. They apply thickly, but can be thinned to watercolor consistency when mixed with water. (You can even turn them into a liquid spray paint to splatter your work with!) They can be used to dye a variety of materials as well. To dye canvas ribbon, I simply marked it haphazardly with a gelato on both sides. I then took water and rubbed it into the ribbon, like magic… it turned blue. It dried fairly quickly too!
I used the same technique to form raised letters onto colored paper. (This is a great way to use up all those scraps of "craftermath" from previous projects!) The thicker the layer of gesso, the longer it will take to dry.
Use any leftover gelatoed-gesso as an opaque stamping ink. It's great to use on colored papers that would just appear as plain black if using a stamp pad. (I really liked the blue on red for these fireworks.) Just remember to rinse off your stamp before the gesso dries.
Pitt artist pen big brushes can also be used in place of stamp pads. (They're especially great when you want to combine colors onto one stamp image!) I spelled out JULY, with a magnetic lettering stamp, as if it had been printed by an old-school typewriter.
Don't forget to add your seal of "makership" to the back of your creation! Leftover ink on my stamp blended with the deep scarlet red pitt pen ink to tint the edges a bit darker… which I completely adore.
Once most of your elements are constructed, you can place them on the card in order to edit… if need be. I used the rough-draft placement to decide where my background colors should go.
For a finishing touch, I applied dots with opalescent texture gems gel liner (to symbolize stars in the night sky filled with the rocket's red glare which we memorialize with fireworks).
It's that subtle yet profound symbolic meaning that completes the piece's transformation from craft into art which makes it worthy of being framed, not just as a holiday decoration, but as artwork. This Independence Day, I will be celebrating the liberty we are given to express ourselves in a country of freedom.

Q: Flexible DIV keeping aspect ratio, but how to have max height? Using the padding trick to have an element scale in a responsive manner and maintain a set aspect ratio. But how do you set a max-height when the height is coming from padding?
See example, I would like this to scale but once it's hits a set height then the height does not scale (but retains full width).
#container {
    background-color: #666;
    color: #ccc;
    padding-top: 23%;
    height: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/louiswalch/9h4c8tor/

A: If your container needs to be the full page with, like in your fiddle, you can use height: 23vw instead of padding: 23%. By doing so, you can also set a max height:

#container {
    background-color: #666;
    color: #ccc;
    height: 23vw;
    max-height: 200px;
    overflow: hidden;
}
#container .inner {
    position: absolute;
    top: 20px;
    left: 20px;
    right: 20px;
    z-index: 1;
    font-size: 11px;
}

This div should scale with the browser, and maintain the same aspect ratio.

Of course, if the element is less wide, but you know the formula, you can adjust the width. For instance, if you want it to be 50% of the page width, you can make the height: calc(23vw * 0.5), or just 11.5vw.
PS: If you want to position the inner element inside the outer, make sure to add position: relative to the outer element. This will make the top, left, right and bottom of the inner element relative to the boundaries of the outer element.

A: You cannot limit the height independently of the width using the padding trick. However, you can fake it.
You can figure out what the width will be at the height that you want to limit the element to, then wrap the element in a container and set the max-width of that container to the specified width and center it.
Then to allow the background to continue across, wrap the container and apply the background color to the wrapper.
(Demo)

body {
    margin: 0;
}
.wrp-bg {
    background-color: #666;
}
.wrp {
    max-width: 800px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
#container {
    padding-top: 23%;
    position: relative;
}
#container .inner {
    color: #ccc;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    bottom: 0;
    padding: 20px;
    font-size: 11px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

This div should scale with the browser, and maintain the same aspect ratio.

Yes, what Super Chick says is true. Her sole purpose in life is indeed to make others happy. A noble task if ever there was one. And now she – or a downloadable PDF tutorial showing exactly how to make her – is, in fact, in The Shop just in time for Easter!
Be advised that to make her, you will need an egg carton (as above), a serrated steak knife, scissors, a hole punch, some glue, a bit of paint and paintbrush, a marker, needle-nose pliers and a couple of straight pins.

Cute idea – and fun way to use an egg carton!
Super clever – again. I love your egg carton crafts. Alas, mine attempts never look so thoroughly adorable. I will continue to try!


In the church many godly Christians have well-intended but nevertheless misguided notions about the doctrine of sanctification, especially when it comes to their children. During my pastorate I remember one occasion when I was teaching Sunday School and I explained that corporal punishment (spanking) was not a means of grace—it could not, and did not, bring about a child's greater sanctification. When I made the statement a few hands immediately shot up because some parents thought I was against corporal punishment. I emphatically said I was not against the form of discipline, though I noted that it's not the only tool in the shed when it comes to correcting a child's behavior. Each child is different and sometimes corporal punishment doesn't help—it makes a situation worse. Nevertheless, I told the Sunday School class, whatever form of punishment you choose is a matter of wisdom and Christian liberty, but none of these forms of discipline are means of grace.
When I made the statement a second time, another hand shot up and challenged my claim. In response, I pointed the concerned parent to the Westminster Standards and told him that neither they, nor any other Reformed confession, identify corporal punishment as a means of grace. The same person then asked of what use was corporal punishment. I told him that any form of discipline aims to correct behavior, and corporal punishment can have the same effect on the Muslim and Christian child alike. A child does not like pain, so he will stop misbehaving so he doesn't receive a spanking (in all seriousness, in accordance with local state laws). No one should ever physically abuse a child. Corporal punishment and child abuse are two totally different things. But moral behavior isn't the same thing as greater sanctification and conformity to Christ.
A child can grow up to be perfectly moral—he follows all the laws of the state, he is polite, kind, and friendly, but apart from trusting in Christ, such a person is destined for hell. Corporal punishment only creates morality, not conformity to Christ. Does this mean that you should cease all forms of discipline and read the Bible to your child when he sins? No. When I have punished my own children, I sit them down and ensure they understand why they were punished. Then, I tell them that they have two things they must do: (1) make things right with the offended party, and (2) make things right with God. I encourage or even lead my child in prayer to seek God's forgiveness through Christ, plead for the grace of the Holy Spirit to change his conduct and conform him more to Christ, and even point out passages in the Bible that address his particular failing. The discipline is not a means of grace but becomes the occasion where I apply the means of grace. Christ through the Spirit and the use of prayer and the word bring about my child's greater sanctification.
As vital and important as disciplining our children is, we must never forget that only Spirit-empowered use of the means of grace bring about godly character and holy conduct. The pagan child can look just as moral as the Christian child, but one draws his conduct from himself whereas the other rests in the power of Christ and the Spirit—the former is merely moral whereas the latter manifests the fruit of the Spirit. The two look similar but are literally worlds apart—the old versus the righteousness of the new heavens and earth.
Use wisdom when you discipline your children but always point them to Christ and apply the means of grace to their tender hearts.

Comic Story (4 pages) A Heck of a Hair-Do!


While I had raced Ironman Cozumel 5 times (4 times as of September), I had yet to ever race the 70.3 there. I had heard some horror stories of the heat there which was actually my reasoning for going there. Half Ironman racing has never really been my strength, but sometimes when the races shift into somewhat of a war of attrition, I can move up late in the day.
The race itself didn't quite play out as I had expected. I kicked it off with one of my worst swims in at least the last 5+ years. I actually thought I was swimming in between two packs (off the back of lead pack, in front of chase pack) so when I got out on the bike I was expecting some folks to ride through me. After 20-30K of riding I suddenly realized I was actually behind everyone. Whoops. I was still motivated to ride hard, but I was only able to stay on the gas for about 60K while the last 30K saw me falling off the power quite a bit.
The conditions on the run could best be described as soupy. As such, I was able to move up from 12th or 13th at the start of the run to 7th at the finish; two of the last places coming in the final 3K or so. While the race ended on a higher note, I knew I needed to clean things up a good bit before IM Cozumel in seven weeks.
Ironman Cozumel is race that has always humbled me. I have 40 Ironman finishes and 4 DNF's; two of those four DNF's have occurred in Cozumel.
2013: Training had been going well, but the Monday of race week I came down with a bad chest cold. Traveled to Playa del Carmen on Thursday. On Friday morning we walked to the ferry and I almost passed out (not hyperbole). On Saturday morning we debated whether or not I should even check in my bike. I ended up doing so at the last minute. My cough had subsided the night before the race so I decided to start, but told Brooke to be ready for me to drop out if things went south. I ended up staying in the race, and while I was 30-40 minutes off the lead, I managed to finish in 6th, catching the final places in the last 10K. It is actually one of the races I am most proud of, but that's a longer story and this is already tangential enough.
2015: The year had been very back-end loaded and this was set to be my 4th Ironman in 20 weeks. I started the bike and was just mentally fried. I pulled the pin before finishing one full loop of the bike. DNF.
2017: The best lead up and fitness for this race I had yet to pull together. Raced the swim and bike well. Unfortunately GI issues struck pretty hard and it turned into a survival race for me. Fell from 4th to 8th on the run (probably lucky to finish in 8th).
This year, Ironman Cozumel finally played out without any dramatic elements. I ended up finishing in 4th and while I would prefer to be on the podium (I have 6 4th place IM-finishes), it was by far my best complete race on the island. I had a much better swim, coming out of the water in 6th and exiting t2 in 4th. The bike was pretty even, but I lacked some of the peppiness needed in the early part of the race. The run was pretty good other than a low point from about 28-35K in the run (essentially the out portion of the third loop). This is subjective, but I actually found this year's race to be the warmest of all the full IM's I have competed in Cozumel. This might have had more to do with the complete lack of cloud cover from start to finish as opposed to the overall high temperature.
Brooke and I spent a few days in Mexico relaxing before heading home. I felt pretty smoked after the race so I was debating whether I wanted to actually give Indian Wells a try (race was 3 weeks post-IM). I decided to do some light training for about 4-5 days before making the call. About ten days post IM (about the same to Indian Wells), I decided to give it a try. I had a minor setback when I crashed my bike (one week before the race) after hitting some black ice in a shady section of road. Fortunately, all the winter clothes I was wearing spared me from much road rash and while I was quite sore for a couple days, it seemed to not have many lingering effects.
I don't generally consider myself someone that "holds fitness" well so I was a little uncertain as to how the race would play out. I had gotten in a couple decent swim and bike workouts, but I had only run 6 times in the previous three weeks and while there was improvement from run one to run six, I hadn't seen anything that made me feel back on form.
Indian Wells 70.3 was a first year event taking place in the Palm Desert/Indian Wells/La Quinta area. I haven't really spent any time there other than driving through the valley on my way to LA a long time ago.
The most challenging part of the race, in my mind, was the first leg. The water was 56-57 degrees which is pretty cold by my (and I think I can say most people's) standards. Some unforeseen race morning logistics limited me to about 2 minutes of warm up which I'm not really sure was to my benefit since they pulled us out of the water ten minutes prior to the start.
I never really felt comfortable in the swim. I was always in a group, but it seemed like every 100 meters or so I would move back a position to the point where I was dangling at the back by the swim finish. The water was definitely cold as had major vertigo in the change tent and had to sit down to take my wetsuit off (my feet stayed numb until 5K into the run). T1 was pretty long and I ran about as fast as I ever have in a transition to try and move up. The good part was that I could tell my legs felt pretty fresh. I don't have to feel good running to the bike to eventually have a good race, but it's always a positive sign when I do.
Both the bike and the run went better than I would have expected. More so the run given the training I had done. I ended up finishing in 8th place, just 31 seconds out of 5th. It was a good reminder to not take any moments in a race for granted as a few seconds here and there added up to several positions in this race. I might have been a little more frustrated had this race been at another time of year, but under these circumstances I was happy to have raced well beyond my expectations.
No more racing this year as we only have a few days left in 2018, but planning to start the 2019 season in Mexico at Campeche 70.3 in March. I posted a few races after that on this site, but they are honestly pretty tentative at the moment.
Pre-race swim in the Cozumel pool. Ran into some friends and got to check out a local swim meet going on in lanes 1+2. While I do normally like to do pre-race swimming in a pool, there wasn't another option this year as the days leading up to the race had very rough seas.
Riding on the east side of the island the day before the race. Typically my pre-raceday ride includes a gradual warm up, then 4 x 90 seconds at a pretty solid effort. I do this same type of ride one day before a lot of my key longer training session. I find a slight opener the day before the race to be better for me than just going easy. Everyone is different in that respect.
Getting some video action. I think the presence of video camera always makes me run faster; not sure if it's peer pressure or trying to get away from the exhaust fumes.
Finally making it to the finish chute after having to run right past it when starting laps two and three.
Swimming butterfly on tired legs in a hotel pool. All For The Gram.
Traveled with my own Chris Stapleton koozie to help keep all post race beer cold.
Final hours in Cozumel. Cozumel is known for its diving and snorkeling and with the water in the background you can clearly see why.
A pretty bike in the California sunshine. I spent a couple days before and after the race in San Diego with Ray Picard and his family.
Ray and I in Indian Wells. Ray went on to finish 2nd in M35-39 and 6th overall Age Grouper.
Riding my bike through very well manicured neighborhoods.
Rolling back towards T2. While this shot was on the road, most of the run was on golf cart paths. I thought it would feel pretty lousy and choppy, but it actually flowed rather nicely. Since we were weaving back and forth you could see other parts of the run course at all times. I don't normally wear compression socks, but since the water was cold enough to allow booties in the swim, I wore them under my wetsuit. I was hoping it might offset some of the cold on the bike, but given how numb my feet stayed, even well into the first loop of the run, I would describe that decision as somewhere between bad and very bad.
Post race exploring on Pacific Beach. I hadn't been to San Diego (proper) since 1994 so it was fun to cruise around.


Although Hadoop and related technologies have been with us for several years now, most business intelligence (BI) professionals and their business counterparts still harbor a few misconceptions that need to be corrected about Hadoop and related technologies such as MapReduce. For example, many people think Hadoop is a database management system designed exclusively for analytics with unstructured data in Internet firms; actually, none of that is accurate. This presentation lists the 10 most common myths about Hadoop, then corrects them. The goal is to clarify what Hadoop is and does relative to BI, as well as in which business and technology situations Hadoop-based BI, data warehousing, and analytics can be useful.
Hadoop's emerging role in data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, etc.


Mac Miller performs on Camp Stage during day 1 of Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival 2017 at Exposition Park on October 28, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.
He was later charged with driving under the influence and driving with a BAC of over.08.
The publication states officials confirmed the Self Care rapper - who previously dated Ariana Grande - was found at his home in San Fernando Valley home. She's now engaged to Pete Davidson.
"Of course I didn't share how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was".
Miller spoke about their breakup in a July interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Apple Music, calling the intense scrutiny he faced "stressful". You know, it's all positive energy.
In a second tweet posted not long after, the 26-year-old again discussed his tour, writing, "go get tickets", and included the names of his opening acts, Thundercat and J.I.D.
The rapper was just profiled in Vulture, after the release of his fifth studio album, Swimming.
Cindy McCain tweeted a photo of the extended McCain family shortly after the Washington , D.C., memorial service for Sen. Obama referred to the nature of today's political debate and suggested that it was unworthy of McCain.


When the Houston Rockets signed Carmelo Anthony from the buyout market, James Harden expressed huge optimism that the 10-time NBA All-Star could help them win an NBA championship title in the 2018-19 NBA season. Harden believed that the arrival of Anthony would give them a strong chance of beating the reigning NBA champions, Golden State Warriors, in a best-of-seven series. Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected between Anthony and the Rockets.
After 10 games, the Rockets decided to officially remove Carmelo Anthony from their rotation, and recently, the veteran small forward was traded to the Chicago Bulls. Anthony isn't expected to play a single game in Chicago, but the Bulls are in no rush to waive his contract and will try to use him in a one-for-one trade before the February NBA trade deadline.
In a recent interview with Ian Begley of ESPN, James Harden and Rockets Head Coach Mike D'Antoni discussed Carmelo Anthony's failed stint with the Rockets. Harden admitted that he's disappointed with how things turned out between Anthony and the Rockets.
Carmelo Anthony may be the odd man out in Houston, but James Harden strongly believes that the veteran small forward still has lots of gas left in his tank and can still play basketball. Harden said that "for sure" Anthony can still help a team.
Rockets Head Coach Mike D'Antoni shared the same sentiment as James Harden, saying that there's no reason why Carmelo Anthony can't find a new home this season.
Coach Mike D'Antoni admitted that Carmelo Anthony did everything he could to make himself fit with the Rockets. After refusing to come off the bench with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Anthony willingly accepted a reduced role in Houston. Unfortunately, Anthony was not the only player that D'Antoni needed on their team.
As of now, the Bulls are still hoping that they can find a team who are willing to throw away assets for Carmelo Anthony. If they fail to move him before the February NBA trade deadline, the Bulls are expected to waive his contract and let him choose his next destination.

In Conversation: Serj Tankian on His Vision for the "Elasticity" EP
By Rob Duguay | FLOOD Magazine
Whether it's with System of a Down or as a solo artist, Serj Tankian is always making music with a message. It could be commentary on the political structure of the United States, the conflict in Armenia, or more personal outlooks and reflections, delivering these messages with his trademark intensely operatic voice that fuels his artistic identity. Tankian runs the gamut on these topics with his new Elasticity EP, released via Alchemy Recordings and BMG Rights Management earlier this month. Along with the new record, he's been working on film and video game soundtracks—adding to his work on the 2016 film 1915 about the Armenian genocide, the 2017 documentary Intent to Destroy, and the first-person shooter video game Midnight Star that came out in 2019—and a film he co-produced that'll be out later this year.
We recently talked about the making of the EP, his love of creating soundtracks, a 2020 Armenian war that you might not know about, and the possibility of System of a Down releasing their long awaited and highly anticipated sixth album.

How To Win At The Casino Slot Machines
Now, they have a new alternative! Now, Dolphin can have it enabled for the System Menu, however whenever you launch a game like New Super Mario Bros. While this largely is for optional things similar to using the Wii System Menu for now, it is nice to be ready to install the updates without having to undergo any complicated steps. MMU games will nonetheless manually need MMU enabled earlier than you start up emulation, DSP-HLE/LLE can't at the moment be swapped (although, this could also be doable to handle sooner or later.) Also, any settings not swapped over to the new config system won't try and replace on title change. Already coming off the video sport crash of 1977 because of a flooded market of house Pong console clones, the Atari VCS was launched in 1977 with modest sales for its first few years. However, Activision's founder David Crane observed that several of these corporations were supported by venture capitalists making an attempt to emulate the success of Activision, not only for the Atari VCS however different consoles, and relied on inexperienced computer programmers.
The North American video recreation console trade recovered just a few years later, mostly as a result of widespread success of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1986; Nintendo designed the NES because the Western branding for its Famicom console (initially released in 1983) to keep away from the missteps which prompted the 1983 crash and the stigma which video games had at that time. Raymond Kassar, the CEO of Atari, recognized in 1982 that there would develop into some extent of saturation for the trade, however did not anticipate this to occur till about half of American households had a video game console; the crash occurred when about 15 million machines had been offered, beneath this expected point. You don't should be super technical to check this one, but, it is a bit extra than simply loading a sport and enjoying it. Naturally, this laziness has dripped down toward manufacturers, as many controllers are now improperly implementing the specification because the games they use to check aren't imposing it appropriately. Now all you could do is right click on a disc, and install Wii System Replace!
Each of the new consoles had its personal library of games produced by the console maker, and the Atari 2600 had a big library of video games produced by third-occasion developers. It's even possible to reconnect Wii Remotes in a unique order to switch player order in some video games! Most significantly, it was hypothesised that slot machine gamers would exhibit relatively higher amounts of irrational considering when playing their most well-liked sport. Unless you're taking part in a progressive game, steer clear from free coin machines when indulging in slot games. This is more of a process for someone who's wanting to really deep dive into the game, as nearly each choice in Dolphin has been exhausted, even all the way down to the purpose of taking saves to and from console to try and get past it. The crash was attributed to several components, including market saturation in the number of sport consoles and accessible games in addition to waning interest in console games in favor of non-public computers. Is it detecting Dolphin as a debug console and stopping things? Probably the most entertaining issues about enjoying Dokapon Kingdom on Netplay with GameCube controllers is that it requires a Wii Remote connected to get through the principle menu.
Previous attempts to synchronize Wii Remote disconnects/reconnects on Netplay had failed thus far, even though this code has existed for quite some time. After Activision went into enterprise, Atari rapidly sued to block sales of Activision's merchandise, however did not safe a restraining order and in the end settled the case in 1982, with Activision agreeing to pay royalties to Atari but in any other case legitimizing the third-occasion model. The fast progress of the third-get together sport trade was evident by the number of vendors present on the semi-annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This opened the field to a cottage business of third-party software program developers. But then once more experienced developers may not even get the opportunity as they'd most likely be using full MMU emulation. On high of working on this Mega Progress Report, two characteristic size articles had to be made after builders selfishly merged several large, highly anticipated features without considering that it makes work for us right here on the blog!
