December 7th, 2012 | Questions and answers about the Battle Round.
The Battle Round has been running for a couple days and it's been really interesting to see the results so far. We've put together this list of FAQs to answer your common questions about this round.
1. Login to your account or don't login to your account -- doesn't matter.
3. Choose between the two authors you see.
4. Click the "next battle" graphic in the middle of the page.
5. Do that six more times (if you want).
6. At the end of voting, you can enter to win an iPad by registering or logging in. This is not required.
When will the Battle Round end?
The Battle Round will end on Thursday, December 13th at 10 AM EST. At first we planned to have it run until the 11th, but we decided to extend it a little to make up for a glitch that some people encountered during first day of voting. Even though none of the contestants ended up with a disadvantage, we think this is a nice gesture. However, it will cut down the jury's decision time by one day.
How is the Battle Rank calculated?
The number you see is the percentage of battles that the author has won. For example, if an author's score is 51, that means he/she has won 51% of the time. This score is cumulative throughout the entire Battle Round week.
How often is the Battle Rank updated?
The Battle Rank will be updated at least once per day, but sometimes more often.
How is the order of contestants determined?
The order in which the authors are presented is randomized at the start of each user's voting session.
When try to login, I just get asked to login again.
This was a bug that affected a minority of users during the first day of voting, and it has been resolved.
When I try to vote, I just get directed to the Battle score.
Someone told me they couldn't vote, so I must be losing a ton of votes! OMG!
If one person can't vote, that doesn't mean nobody can vote. Literally thousands of votes have already been registered so there is no widespread voting problem. If you get a report from someone saying they're having trouble, please email us all relevant details, such as the user's OS and browser and exactly what they are experiencing.
Do I have to register or login to vote?
No. You can vote with or without logging in. At the end of your voting session, you'll still get the option to register or login to enter to win an iPad.

Tips for Caregivers: Caring for Older Loved Ones
Medically Reviewed by UPMC Senior Services
Updated Nov. 18, 2020
It's no secret: Being a caregiver for an older loved one or a loved one with a disability can be physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging. For these caregivers, concerns about COVID-19's impact on their loved ones may also weigh heavily.
"Sometimes caregivers spend so much time and energy caring for other people that they neglect their own activities, health, and emotional well-being," says Richard Morycz, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry, medicine, and social work at the University of Pittsburgh.
Caregiving by the Numbers
In the United States alone, there are more than 45 million unpaid family caregivers. "Twenty percent of all households in this country include people who are providing care," says Dr. Morycz. Most caregivers (60 percent) are women, although the number of male caregivers has increased in recent years.
The average caregiver — whose age is in the mid-60s — dedicates 20 hours per week to providing home care for a relative. Many (60 percent of male caregivers and 41 percent of female caregivers) also work full-time jobs outside the home, making them even more susceptible to stress-related issues.
The Toll of Constant Caregiving
When you're a full-time caregiver, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when you're caring for a loved one on top of the pressures of the pandemic, work, family, home, and finances. "The caregiver is at increased risk of developing their own physical and emotional problems," said Morycz. "In turn, that threatens their ability to provide ongoing care to the people they love."
The most typical issues caregivers experience are mental and physical exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and feelings of isolation and sadness.
Care for the Caregiver
As a caregiver, one of the most important things you can do is find a sympathetic confidante who will offer support and encouragement. "The best way of getting help and caring for yourself is face-to-face interaction with someone other than the person you are caring for," says Dr. Morycz.
Other important self-care tips for caregivers include:
Make time for yourself and take routine breaks without feeling guilty. Even something as simple as taking 30 minutes of alone time to read or take a walk can help. You'll be a much better caregiver if you're not on duty 24/7.
Exercise to relieve stress. Whether it's a long walk, an hour of yoga, or a bike ride in the country, do something you enjoy. Regular exercise is a good habit for caregivers to develop.
Eat as healthfully as you can.
Make sleep a priority.
Use relaxation techniques. For many people, taking care of the caregiver involves some form of quiet self-care. Simple practices, such as mindfulness, prayer, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation can help relieve stress. Whatever you choose to do, make it part of your daily routine.
Find Caregiver Resources
High on any list of caregiver tips is developing a good support system. Find local or online support groups; nothing beats exchanging ideas and experiences with people who are in a similar situation. Local churches, synagogues, and mosques may host groups and have support services in place.
Every county also has an Area Agency on Aging that provides a variety of services, such as companion services, home health aides, and housekeeping services. To connect with your local Area Agency on Aging resource, please call 1-866-430-8742 and a team member will be able to assist you.
The INSPIRE program is a six-week course hosted by UPMC Senior Services and is designed to help caregivers who are facing a variety of challenges in caring for older adults in the home setting. This includes the many issues surrounding dementia care. Register online for this virtual course.

The international scientific journal, Urban Ecology, defines its eponymous discipline as
"…the study of ecosystems that include humans living in cities and urbanizing landscapes. It is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that aims to understand how human and ecological processes can coexist in human-dominated systems and help societies with their efforts to become more sustainable. … Because of its interdisciplinary nature and unique focus on humans and natural systems, the term "urban ecology" has been used variously to describe the study of humans in cities, of nature in cities, and of the coupled relationships between humans and nature. Each of these research areas is contributing to our understanding of urban ecosystems and each must be understood to fully grasp the science of Urban Ecology."
A single generation from today, by 2030, the population of the world's cities will grow by 2 billion more people. At present, about half of the humans on earth live in urban areas. In 2030, according to The CIA World Factbook, 60 per cent, or almost two-thirds of people will live in cities. In addition to space in which to live, all of these people will need breathable air, drinkable water, and food, which will mostly be grown outside of cities and transported into them.
In short, the entire planet is becoming more urbanized, a phenomenon which is already having a profound effect on the natural systems that maintain breathable air, drinkable water, and fertile soil for agriculture.
But large areas of green spaces exist within cities. Lawns, parks, golf courses, and nature preserves created decades ago and now surrounded by development help filter pollution in air and water, produce oxygen, mitigate heat absorption by asphalt and concrete, and provide habitat for songbirds and other wildlife.
In the past quarter century, scientists have recognized that understanding the interactions of the living and nonliving components of these urban ecosystems is vital to the future of all life on earth, including ourselves.

With so many supermarkets and health shops increasing their range of so called "healthier option" snacks, it is easy to get confused with the often misleading claim on the front of the packets. The nutritional labels at the back are so often just as confusing. The solution to ensure you know exactly what you eat? Make your own snacks and get the kids involved with flavours. This lemon honey and poppy seed is a classic favourite in our family. No bake required, ready in an hour.
Line an enamel or glass dish with baking parchment. Fits a dish measuring about 18 x 12cm.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish and place in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
Remove from the fridge, slice and wrap for school snack or post workout refuel.
Many of the snack bars sold in the supermarkets or health shops as healthy are often still very high in sugar due to the dried fruit content or sugar alternatives used. These contain only a small amount of raw/cold extracted honey.
Raw or cold extracted honey is a great natural sugar alternative both low in calories and with a Low Glycemic Index.

Q: Tactical vs Strategic What's the difference in meanings between tactical and strategic?
My teacher told me tactical is short term whereas strategy is related with long time ambitions. But I think otherwise that both are synonyms. Please help me out in context of geopolitics.

A: Not sure why you think differently, because your teacher is entirely correct. Tactics are what you do "small scale", strategy is what you do "big scale". For instance, we employed a strategy of containment to halt the spread of communism. That got us involved in Vietnam. Tactics are the things we did like escalation and deploying agent orange to try to beat the VC and thus halt the spread of communism. The strategy worked even if some of our tactics were flawed.
It may be better to think of strategy and tactics in terms of war. Your strategy might be to divide and conquer the enemy, but how you actually go about doing that is going to require a series of tactical maneuvers.

One-Year Wonder: 1982 Honda MB5
Comparing the Honda MB5 with its sub-100cc competitors, the Kawasaki AR80 and Puch Magnum 50.
By the Motorcycle Classics staff
| March/April 2017
1982 Honda MB5
Motorcycle Classics archives
1982 Kawasaki AR80
1979-1982 Puch Magnum 50
Honda MB5
Years produced: 1982 (U.S)
Power: 7hp @ 6,000rpm (claimed)
Top speed: 53mph (period test)
Engine: 49.5cc air-cooled 2-stroke single
Transmission: 5-speed, chain final drive
Weight/MPG: 187lb (dry)/65-75mpg
Price then/now: $798/$800-$1,500
How can an engine of only 50cc (just 3 cubic inches!) make enough power to set an average speed of over 85mph on the Isle of Man TT circuit? In 1965, Ralph Bryans did just that on the 50cc, double overhead cam Honda RC115, securing both the rider's and manufacturer's ultra-lightweight world championship, the little twin revving to 20,000rpm to produce its 15 horsepower. So don't dis small bikes!
It wasn't a double overhead cam twin that Honda presented to U.S. buyers in 1982, however, but a simple 50cc 2-stroke. It still produced the pulling power of seven horses — just not in quite the same way. In torque-obsessed America, Honda was facing an uphill sales battle with the MB5 — but it was a remarkable motorcycle, and is now a rare and sought-after classic.
Essentially similar to the European market MB50 produced between 1979 and 1988, the MB5 was sold in the U.S. for one year only. Inside its smart black engine cases was a 49.5cc reed-valve 2-stroke with a balance shaft and 7.6:1 compression ratio producing 7 horsepower at 6,000rpm.
Engine lubrication was by oil injection, while the separate transmission ran in oil. Straight-cut primary gears drove the wet multiplate clutch and 5-speed gearbox. A 16mm Keihin carburetor fed fuel, with sparks handled by a contactless CDI unit. A 12-volt 66-watt alternator provided power for the lights. No electric start was offered, just a kickstarter.
The ingenious frame used a tubular spine, with a pair of straight tubes welded to the headstock running back either side of the spine down to the rear frame tubes, triangulating the frame. The engine hung from the spine and was clamped at the back between two plates welded to the rear down tubes, which also formed the swingarm pivot.
A telescopic fork and dual rear shocks gave 5 and 3.5 inches of travel, respectively, and ran on a pair of Honda's ComStar composite three-spoke wheels with 2.5 x 18-inch tires. A single 8.6-inch front disc and rear drum brake provided stopping power.
The MB5 was outfitted with all the equipment of a full-size motorcycle, including matching speedometer and tachometer, dashboard warning lights, and a full set of lights and turn signals. The result was a fully featured miniature masterpiece. But what was it like to ride?
Cycle magazine tested the MB5 in late 1981 and found that the Honda "accelerates, stops and rides much better" than other 50cc motorcycles and mopeds they had tried. "The MB5 feels much less toy-like and it handles like a regular motorcycle, albeit a small one," Cycle said. And while the steering was quick, the MB5 also had good directional stability.
Performance was "leisurely, to be kind," said Cycle, "unless the full rev range was used," when the MB5's acceleration to 40mph was "quicker than some of today's more plebeian automobiles." It was capable of getting to and holding 45mph "as long as you keep the engine buzzing as you shift through the gears."
Cycle World took the MB5 to the strip, recording 22.7 seconds at 51mph for the standing quarter with a flying top speed of 53mph.
No passenger pegs were fitted to the MB5, in line with the GVWR maximum load capacity of 220 pounds. However, Cycle did the "real world" sums and found this worked out to less than 150 pounds with a full tank. At close to 200 pounds suited up, though, their tester had no problem with suspension bottoming.
Fuel consumption seemed high for its class at 65-75mpg, rather than the 100mpg toted for most mopeds, though the tester admitted to a "ham-fisted riding style." That said, the generous 2.4-gallon gas tank was good for a 160-mile range. As for oil, the MB5 used less than a quart in Cycle World's 700-mile test.
Though admitting that it was a town bike intended for easy, fun, urban transportation, Cycle World said the MB5 was "a fully modern machine, offering all the advances made in motorcycling over the last 20 years." MC
Contenders: Sub-100cc rivals to Honda's MB5
Power: 10.2 hp @ 8,500rpm (claimed)/75mph
Engine: 78cc air-cooled 2-stroke single
Weight/MPG: 165lb (dry)
Like the MB5, the AR80 was only sold in the U.S. (alongside the 50cc AR50) in 1982 — and is perhaps even rarer. Its 78cc air-cooled, reed-valve, 2-stroke single used an 18mm Mikuni carburetor and CDI ignition. Lubrication was by Kawasaki's Superlube injection system. The engine drove a 6-speed transmission by gears and had a chain final drive. The tubular, double-cradle frame ran on Enkei alloy 18-inch wheels wearing 2.50 front and 2.75 rear tires with telescopic fork front and Kawasaki's Uni-Trak single-shock swingarm rear suspension. A single front disc and rear drum brake provided stopping.
With its more powerful 80cc engine in what was essentially the same running gear as the smaller-capacity AR50, the AR80 was "a manic little machine," says mopedarmy.com, noting that it was capable of performing as well as, or even outperforming, most 125cc machines of the time. There's also a thriving aftermarket tuning parts supply, with performance parts up to and including liquid cooling for the AR80 … if you can find one!
Years produced: 1979-1982 (U.S)
Power: 2hp @ 5,000rpm (claimed, Magnum MkII)/30mph
Engine:48.8cc air-cooled 2-stroke single
Transmission: 2-speed/pedal assist
Weight/MPG: 129lb (dry)/150mpg (claimed)
Unlike the MB5 and AR80 "nopeds," the Magnum was a true moped with pedals for starting and uphill assistance, and with its meager power, these were more than an afterthought! Magnums were sold in the U.S. with both single-speed and 2-speed automatic transmissions, oil mix and oil injection, steel or mag wheels, and with or without a speedometer dash.
Perhaps most desirable was the final, limited-edition Magnum MkII "LTD" of 1981-1982 with the 2-speed transmission, 17-inch mag wheels, oil injection, speedo, keyed ignition and turn signals. The Magnum's drivertrain hung beneath the characteristic "banana" frame with chain drive, telescopic forks and a twin shock swingarm. The 50cc air-cooled, 2-stroke engine featured a 14mm Bing carburetor and Bosch 6-volt flywheel magneto.
The Magnum also lent itself readily to tuning, and enterprising owners have managed to squeeze several times the stock 2 horsepower from the engine.

Q: Move Subfolder up one level including its contents I need to move a lot of sub-folders.  Each client has this structure and needs to be modified
The only folder I need to move is the "Correspondence" folders with all its contents.  It needs to come "up" one level to the same level as the "2022" folder
The current folder structure looks like this:
Clients
........Surname,Initials
................................2022, Prior Years
.................................................................2018
.................................................................2019
.................................................................2020
.................................................................2021
.................................................................Calculations
.................................................................Correspondence
and this is what I need
Clients
===>Surname,Initials
===>2022,  Correspondence,  Prior Years
.......................................................................2018
.......................................................................2019
.......................................................................2020
.......................................................................2021
.......................................................................Calculations
This is what I have tried
dir -Directory | % {Push-Location $_.FullName; dir './Correspondence' | % {Move-Item $_.FullName}  but that didn't work and resulted in errors
dir -Directory | % {Push-Location $_.FullName; dir './Correspondence' | % {Move-Item $_.FullName}  That also resulted in errors

A: The following locates all subdirectories named Correspondence in the current directory's subtree and moves them up one level:
(Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Directory -Filter 'Correspondence') |
  Move-Item -Destination { $_.Parent.Parent.FullName } -WhatIf

Note: The -WhatIf common parameter in the command above previews the operation. Remove -WhatIf  once you're sure the operation will do what you want.
Note:

*

*The Get-ChildItem call is enclosed in (...) so that all its output is collected up front, to rule out the possibility of the move operations interfering with the enumeration of the file-system items.

*The -Destination argument is provided in the form of a delay-bind script block, which allows deriving the argument value from the input object at hand, reflected in the automatic $_ variable:

*

*The .Parent property of the System.IO.DirectoryInfo instances output by Get-ChildItem reflects the parent directory (as an instance of the same type), i.e. the directory in which the subdirectory hand is currently located.

*.Parent.Parent therefore reflects the parent directory of the one in which the subdirectory is currently located, and .FullName property contains its full path.

The King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue () has been the "auspices" for the National Dialogue Forum in Saudi Arabia. The center is located in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on the Northern Ring Branch Road. (As of 2015 there have been ten "National Meetings" in the kingdom but only the first was held in Riyadh.)

The National Dialogue Forum was instituted in June 2003 "to debate reform and suggest remedies" following several events: the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US, terrorist attacks inside Saudi Arabia that led to the deaths of over 40 people in 2003, and several  "Memorandum of Advice" submitted to the King petitioning him to "acknowledge diverging opinions" in the kingdom. The 70 people appointed by then-Crown Prince Abdullah to the dialogue included Shia, women and some noted liberals—in what one source (The Economist) called "unusually for Saudi Arabia." One analyst (Gilles Kepel) described it as an attempt "to substitute nationalism (wataniyya) for the concept of jihad," among Saudis.

It has been described as "an independent national institution which seeks to strengthen channels of communication and dialogue between Saudi citizens and the different elements and institutions of Saudi society".  Its stated aim is "to establish and disseminate the culture of dialogue in society, discuss national issues which affect the life of the Saudi citizen and take part in the development of the nation through enabling the participation of different groups, intellectual tendencies and social institutions through the mechanisms and mediums of dialogue".

Establishment
The Center was established on the 4th of August 2003, and has benefited from the support and patronage of the then-Crown Prince Abdullah. In an address delivered on the occasion of the Center's inauguration, the King expressed his hope that it would become a channel for responsible dialogue and would be effective in spreading the noble values embodied in the virtues of justice, equality and tolerance. By late 2003, the kingdom's rulers began more determinedly to deal with political concerns, particularly after al-Qaeda attacks. One of such moves was then-Crown Prince Abdallah's project to encourage more tolerance for religious diversity and rein in the forces of politico-religious extremism in the kingdom. In the summer of 2003, Abdallah threw his considerable weight behind the creation of a national dialogue that brought leading religious figures together, including a highly publicized meeting attended by the kingdom's preeminent Shi'i scholar Hasan al-Saffar, as well as a group of Sunni clerics who had previously expressed their loathing for the Shi'i minority.

Vision
According to the center's English language homepage, the Center is a "national organization which works to spread the culture of dialogue and establish it as a norm for general conduct on the levels of the individual citizen, the family and society at large reflecting adherence to, and pride in, the Islamic religion.

The National Meetings
The National Dialogue Forum has become an annual event, taking place in different cities of Saudi Arabia. Each year a topic is selected for discussion, ranging from unity to youth's expectations. At the end of the meetings, recommendations that have no binding force are written in the form of a letter addressed to the King.

 First National Meeting (Riyadh) – National unity tops the agenda. June 2003. 30 representatives of Saudi Islam met in Riyadh for four days. This meeting was notable for being attended only by Islamic clerics, but by religious leaders of the Shia, Sufi, Ismaili, Maliki Muslim communities, not just Wahhabi clerics. (Shafite and Malikite from the Hijaz and the Asir regions, Sufi mystics and Islamilis from the Najran (the zone abutting Yemen), as well as Shiites from the Eastern Province.) A third of the participant were from the sahwa "Awakening", but refusing to attend  was Safar Al-Hawali, one of the "Awakening" sheikhs, who protested the inclusion of these `deviants.` Salman al-Ouda, another Awakening sheikh, not only attended but offered Shia leader Sheikh Hassan Al-Saffar, a lift in his car after the meeting.
 Second National Meeting (Makkah) – Fighting religious fanaticism and extremism, Dec 2003 – Jan 2004. The participants discussed the educational system and pressed to be overhauled under the supervision of experts in the field. Efforts must be made to cultivate the spirit of tolerance and moderation among members of the new generation. The participants also called on pertinent authorities to monitor negative tendencies among students and to draw up contingency-plans for dealing with them in cooperation with educational institutions .
 Third National Meeting (Madinah) – Women's Rights,  June 12–14, 2004.
 Fourth National Meeting (Jeddah) – Young People's Expectations, December 7–9, 2004.
 Fifth National Meeting (Buraydah, Abha, Riyadh) – The National Vision for Dealing with World Cultures (June 2005)
 Sixth National Meeting (Al-Jouf) – Education: Reality and Ways of Improvement,
 Seventh National Meeting (Qasim) – Work & Employment; Dialogue between Society & Work Related Institutions (2008)
 Eighth National Meeting  (Najran) – Health Services: A Dialogue between the Society and Health Institutions (2010)
 Ninth National Meeting (Ha`il) – The Media and Society: Reality and Paths to Development (2011)
 Tenth National Meeting (Asir, Jazan, Baha and Makkah) – "Extremism and its effects on national unity" (2015)
In addition there have been KACND "Cultural Discourse" (Arabic: al-hiwar al-thaqafia) Dialogues in 2009 and 2010, allegedly to "counter increased apathy that had greeted its most recent service-related National Dialogue Meetings".

Bad news of terror attacks, kidnapping and corruption dominate the global view of Africa. Poor governance and corrupt leaders have made their mark but behind the headlines Africa has a future, with the support of business and education, to help it change. Former colonial powers, who imposed inappropriate borders and then left the continent in chaos, are best placed to play a part in this long game.

Colchester, VT - Nokian Tyres is offering more protection to motorists clashing with winter's demanding driving conditions by expanding use of a strong, synthetic fiber technology that reinforces sidewalls, making them more resistant to impacts and sharp objects.
Aramid Sidewall Technology allows Nokian Tyres to better withstand potentially hazardous situations like potholes, crushed stone or debris that can lead to punctures or slashes in the sidewall. The heavy-duty synthetic fibers, which are also used by the aviation and defense industries, were phased into production during 2016 and starting in 2017 now stamped on the sidewall of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV, Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT2, Nokian WRG3 SUV and the Nokian Rotiiva HT, AT & AT Plus.
"We have received a lot of positive feedback from SUV drivers about how Aramid Sidewall Technology has given them added protection in situations where there was the likelihood of an external impact to their tires," said Petri Niemi, head of product management at Nokian Tyres. "Winter weather creates a whole host of trials for drivers, from snow and ice covered roads to large cracks and potholes that are formed from the freeze and thaw conditions that weaken and damage asphalt.
The Aramid sidewall structure was first utilized in the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV and previously extended to include the brand new Nokian zLINE A/S SUV & Nokian Rockproof tires.
Nokian Tyres is the world's northernmost tyre manufacturer. The company promotes and facilitates safe driving in demanding conditions. It supplies innovative tyres for cars, trucks and special heavy machinery mainly in areas with special challenges on tyre performance: snow, forests and harsh driving conditions in different seasons. Nokian Tyres' product development is consistently aiming for sustainable solutions for safety and the environment, taking into account the whole life cycle of the tyre. A part of the Nokian Tyres group, the tyre chain Vianor has 1,475 outlets in 26 countries. In 2015, Nokian Tyres had approximately 4,400 employees and net sales of approximately $2.1 billion.

Colorado's District 51 is in its first year of implementing a performance-based (or competency-based) system. They are intentionally building a thriving culture rooted in growth mindset. According to Carol Dweck, "In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment." How can teachers bring growth mindset into the learning process to promote student achievement?
District 51 has identified five strategies to help students and adults to learn to have a growth mindset: Brain, Mindsets, Self Talk, Feedback, and Goal. Join this webinar to learn what it means to have a growth mindset, and hear from District 51 teachers how they are developing their own growth mindsets and instilling a growth mindset in their students. Attendees will learn tips and examples of teaching with a growth mindset that they can bring into their own schools and classrooms.
Please join us in conversation. And come prepared to learn AND share how we can collectively increase our impact on STEM learning in California.

Should CYBERCOM be granted more acquisition funds?
Some congressional leaders are questioning if Cyber Command needs more acquisition funds given it has yet to exhaust what Congress has already provided. (Patrick Semansky/AP)
Some members of Congress appear concerned that U.S. Cyber Command is not fully utilizing the flexible purchasing and service-like authorities it has been granted by the body. Cyber Command's leadership, however, feels it is still maturing and needs to be prepared for expansion.
Congress gave Cyber Command limited acquisition authority in 2016 following the model of Special Operations Command. It capped acquisition funds at $75 million per year, sunsetting in 2021.
The thinking at the time, according to congressional staff, was to take a crawl, walk, run approach and see if the command could demonstrate it could properly exercises its limited authority.
However, this year, the command has only used a fraction of that; roughly $44 million.
"Certainly, since over the years we have worked to give the services more flexible acquisition authorities, can you provide this committee with an update on why you think you need this unique acquisition authority and what the current state of implementation is?" House Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities Ranking Member Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-New York, asked Gen. Paul Nakasone, head of U.S. Cyber Command, at a March 13 hearing.
The command's acquisition executive in September 2018 noted Cyber Command had expressed the desire for a ceiling of $250 million and a sunset of 2025 regarding the acquisition authority.
Cyber Command's acquisition authority still in its infancy
The command hopes to change this in the near future.
At the time, he also noted how the command's acquisition shop was still in its infancy with one contracting officer, one specialist and a couple of contractors aside from himself in the contracting office.
Nakasone said there are currently 10 openings at the command related to the acquisition authority, with six already filled. He expects the remaining four to be filled by the end of the year. Filling those positions will be extremely helpful to be able to execute the $75 million, he added.
Cyber Command in January issued a solicitation for help with its main contracting arm, known as the J9.
What do Cyber Command's acquisition requests reveal?
The command wants to support its J9 advanced concepts and technology directorate.
Moreover, Nakasone said he anticipates the command to have executed around $60 million to $65 million by the end of the fiscal year.
"We're not to the point yet where I'm satisfied with regards to operating at the amount that has been authorized for us, but we'll get there. I think the important piece is when I think of why it's some important to us, our adversaries are rapidly changing. We see that every single day as we operate against them," he said. "The authorities that you've granted our command to be able to do this is a first start for us to be able to operate at their speed."
What has CYBERCOM spent its money on?
While the services continue to act as executive agent on a variety of topics for Cyber Command, a typical construct for combatant commands, Cyber Command has used its unique authority to purchase a variety of things.
What's in the $9.6B cyber budget request?
Department of Defense officials provided greater granularity regarding bits of fiscal 2020 cyber monies.
Nakasone told the committee the command invested in tools for the cyber teams, big data analysis and "an opportunity for our developers to operate off site at a facility to look at new networks, new capabilities, new infrastructures."


Mason is FIVE! I can't believe my baby boy is 5. We had the best day celebrating him. He deserved his special day.
Mason you sure are one special boy! You know how to love BIG and you always know the moments it's needed the most. You give the absolute best hugs, kisses and snuggles and you are never shy to show your love to your family. You also are so fun loving. You play hard and have the best friendships. You are so funny and expressive. Your big brown eyes tell the best stories and convince me to do anything! You open up only to those you are close to, otherwise you can be quite shy. You carefully choose your close friends you let into our special life. You also know how to test the limits and you test them often. I feel so lucky to be your mom and watch you grow into the amazing kid you are! Keep being you and you will do amazing things!
The birthday fairy worked her magic during the night to surprise Mason with birthday decorations. Hearing his squeal as he busted through the wrapping paper was priceless!
Loved getting to bring Mason lunch for his birthday. It's always so special to see the kids in their element at school! He grinned from ear to ear the entire time!
And an added bonus we got to eat with Jackson and Harper as well!
Mason could not wait for Jackson and Harper to get home from school so he could send his birthday balloons to Bailey in doggy heaven! He wrote "I miss you" on each balloon and signed his name. He has such a deep love for Bailey which is crazy because she passed away a few weeks before he was born. I have no doubt Bailey watches over Mason every day and I 100% believe his ability to love so hard comes from Bailey.
Dinner at Sumo was amazing! I'm so glad Mason got us to try it. It may have been our first time but definitely won't be our last time! It was super fun and the food was delish! Everyone had big eyes watching the fire!
The chef gave us all a try at catching scrambled eggs in our mouth! Tyler was the only successful catch!
We ended the evening with Mason's birthday cake! Love this kid big!
He had been saying for weeks he wanted a cake so he could smash his face in it! Well he did and Tyler gave him a little extra smash!
Looks like this kid had the best birthday!
Jackson and Harper had their first real school musical, Arf. Jackson's class played Boxers and Harper's class played Golden Retriever. Such a cute play full of fun songs and lots of lines. Jackson even had two lines of his own! Love these cute little puppy dogs!
Jackson and Harper had a blast at their first grade field trip to the zoo. Such a fun change of pace for the day! I hung with the boys and Harper tagged along with her besties. Such a difference between the boys and girls. I was basically chasing the boys down, while the girls slowly took their time meandering through the zoo. Such a fun day!
Second annual spring break trip to Broken Bow was a huge success. We have the best time with a group of neighbors, sneaking away from reality for a few days during spring break. We basically spend three days outside ALL day. The kids play and play and play, no electronics and no fighting. Such a fun getaway with SO many memories. These kids are living the dream and us parents are as well!
First night calls for Grateful Head pizza!
We went horse backing riding the first morning of our vacay! Such a fun group outing!
Mason was the St. Pattys day loving child that wore his green and shamrock necklaces the entire trip!
Evenings by the campfire were the best! Smores, story telling and lots of laughter!
Next morning started with a great hike and fabulous views!
Then picnic lunch by the river! Love this group! 21 in total, all staying the same house!
Then we tried some fishing. Different spot but still no luck catching fish!
Last afternoon the moms snuck away for a little wine tasting and a lot of great convo. I sure do love these ladies!
Such a fun get away! I hope we continue this annual tradition for years to come. Definitely a trip my kids talk about year round!
Where should I start . . . 10 years ago I made the best decision of my life to head north on 35 and attend the University of Oklahoma. Not only did I get a great education and meet the best friends a girl could ask for but I also met the love of my life, Tyler. We got married in June 2006 and have settled in Oklahoma. The majority of our family lives out of town so the purpose of this blog is to keep everyone up to speed on the Miller Family. I hope we can keep you entertained!
Feeding battle..which is actually a battle we all have.

Robert Pattinson sinks teeth into MTV Movie Awards
in Pakistan
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif: The MTV Movie Awards was more like "The Team Edward Show.""Twilight" star Robert Pattinson sucked up the spotlight — and some popcorn-shaped trophies — at Sunday's shenanigan-packed ceremony. Among the goofy actor's moments: winning three different awards, unexpectedly kissing co-star Taylor Lautner, and slipping the F-word past censors when presenting Reese Witherspoon with the special MTV Generation Award."It's not always a bad thing to have sexual chemistry with your mother," joked Pattinson, who played the son of Witherspoon's character in "Vanity Fair" and her love interest in "Water for Elephants."For his role as vampire Edward Cullen in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," Pattinson won best male performance, best fight with Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel, and best kiss with Kristen Stewart. Instead of smooching each other, Pattinson declared he didn't "feel like kissing" Stewart before he descended back into the audience and planted his lips on Lautner.Team Jacob also earned some love from "Saturday Night Live" star Jason Sudeikis, the show's host, who kicked off the silly ceremony at the Gibson Amphitheater by starring in his own version of "The Hangover" in which he went in search of a lost Lautner. The other "Twilight" winners were Stewart for best female performance and "Eclipse" for best movie."Natalie, sorry, but the popcorn is mine," Stewart said mockingly, referencing fellow nominee Natalie Portman, who won the best actress Oscar earlier this year for "Black Swan."
It was the third straight year that "Twilight" eclipsed the competition with the most wins at the fan-favorite ceremony. Last year, "New Moon," the second installment of the "Twilight" film franchise, also earned awards for best movie, best kiss, best female performance and best male performance."The fact that we're standing up here is a testament to all the hard work that went into `Eclipse,'" Lautner said.The non-vampire winners who picked up awards Sunday included Emma Stone for best comedic performance for "Easy A," Justin Bieber for best jaw dropping moment for "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," Alexys Nycole Sanchez for best line for "Grown Ups," and Tom Felton for best villain for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.""This will look very nice in my downstairs toilet," Felton said of his trophy. "Thank you."
The ceremony was filled with several awkward moments. Sudeikis spent most of his opening monologue cracking jokes about the revelations that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with a housekeeper. He also poked fun at singer-actress Selena Gomez, who embarrassingly hid her face from the cameras as he scolded her for kissing fellow teen sensation Bieber and swallowing "three of his baby teeth." Later, Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake cupped each other's genitals while presenting Pattinson with the best male performance trophy."I really didn't think I was going to win," Pattinson said during his acceptance speech. "Zac Efron was crying and stuff in that little clip."The show also served as a promotional platform for Hollywood studios' upcoming films as much as it did as an awards ceremony. Emma Watson, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg and Elle Fanning were among the celebrities on hand to present sneak peeks at "Super 8," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part One." – Yahoonews

Cuba, 1948. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unites them, but their journey - in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero - brings heartache and torment. From Havana to New York, Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas, two passionate individuals battle impossible odds to unite in music and love. With an original soundtrack by legendary Cuban pianist and five-time Grammy winning composer Bebo Valdés, Chico & Rita captures a defining moment in the evolution of history and jazz, and features the music of (and animated cameos by) Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Cole Porter, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Tito Puente, Chano Pozo, and others. The film has one of the most unique visual styles not just in recent memory but perhaps even ever. Nominated for Best Animated Film, 84th Academy Award 2011.

Debuttò come cantante nel 1966, al Festival di Mamaia. Nel 1969, scrisse il suo primo successo "Trecea fanfara militară". Successivamente ottenne successo in Romania con altre canzoni come: "Dragu mi-i de țara mea", "Drum bun", "Drumurile", "În rândul patru", "Măicuță, îți mulțumesc", "Nu vreau să plângi", "Prietene", "Să cântăm, chitara mea", "Spune-mi, mama ce mai face", "Țărăncuță, țărăncuță", "Te-așteaptă un om"  Ha pubblicato gli album sotto l'eticchetta Electrecord.. La sua canzone più conosciuta rimase "Drumurile". Nel 1970 recitò nel popolare film dell'URSS Songs of the Sea.

Detiene il record de più lungo applauso, di 16 minuti e 19 secondi, fatto accaduto a Varadero (Cuba) nel 1967, in occasione di un festival internazionale.

Morì di infarto e fu successivamente sepolto nel cimitero di Bellu a Bucarest.

Q: Explanation of method to obtain 's' A positon vector of a particle at time $t$ is $R= Cos(t-1) i + Sinh(t-1) j + st^2 k$. If at $t = 1$, the acceleration of the particle be perpendicular to its position vector, find $s$.
I know that $dR/dt = velocity$ and $d^2R / dt^2 = acceleration$. How do I use the fact that R is perpendicular to acceleration to obtain the solution
Does it mean that at $t=1$, $d^2R/dt^2 = 0$.
I tried to proceed like so .
$R.R =  Cos^2 (t-1) + Sinh^2(t-1) +s^2t^4$
$R= sqrt[(Cos^2 (t-1) + Sinh^2(t-1) + s^2t^4)]$
$2R dR/dt = ...$
$2 dR/dt + 2R d^2R/dt^2 = ...$
and then I get stuck.
Since acceleration is normal to position vector I have also thought weather (del $phi\ dR =0$) could be applied. but then I ask how?.

A: Hint:   two vectors $\,\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v}\,$ are perpendicular iff their dot product $\,\langle \mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v} \rangle\,$ is zero. In this case:
$$
\begin{align}
\begin{cases}
R &= \cos(t-1) \,\mathbf{i} + \sinh(t-1) \,\mathbf{j} + st^2 \,\mathbf{k} \\
\ddot{R} = \dfrac{d^2 R}{d t^2} &= -\cos(t-1) \,\mathbf{i} + \sinh(t-1) \,\mathbf{j} + 2s \,\mathbf{k}
\end{cases}
 \implies
\begin{cases}
R(1) = 1 \cdot \mathbf{i} + 0 \cdot\mathbf{j} + s \cdot \mathbf{k} \\[7px]
\ddot{R}(1) = -1 \cdot \mathbf{i} + 0 \cdot\mathbf{j} + 2s \cdot \mathbf{k}
\end{cases}
\end{align}
$$
The condition $\,\left\langle R(1), \,\ddot{R}(1)\right\rangle = 0\,$ then gives a simple equation to solve for $\,s\,$.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the prostatic-urethral angulation (PUA) on the treatment efficacy of selective alpha-1A receptor blocker in male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH). Materials and methods: A total of 80 patients with LUTS/BPH and with mean age 53.3 ± 6.3 (range 47-70) were included in our prospective comparative study. The patients were classified into 2 groups as a consecutive cases 40 in each one depending on the PUA either ≤ 35° (group A) or > 35° (group B). PUA and different prostatic parameters were measured using transrectal ultrasound. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), the International Prostate Symptom Score and quality of life score (IPSS/QoL score), maximum flow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual (PVR) volume were compared between the groups. The clinical significance of PUA was evaluated after 8 weeks of medical treatment with tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg daily. Results: Baseline evaluation (pre-treatment) for both groups were comparable to each other with no clinically significant difference regarding age, PSA, IPSS/QoL score, Qmax and PVR volume (P-value > 0.05). Comparison of parameters after 8 weeks showed that tamsulosin hydrochloride improved the total IPSS and all subscores (P < 0.001), QoL (P = 0.001), Qmax (P = 0.002), and PVR (P = 0.04) in group A (Table 1). Conclusion: Tamsulosin hydrochloride appears to be less effective in improving IPSS/Qol score, Qmax and PVR in patients with lager PUA. The PUA might be a predictor for the treatment efficacy of α-blockers and more studies are warranted in the future before the final conclusion.

Q: Anchor tags not changing URL I have some anchor links with text and radio button.
On clicking text or radio button the URL should change. But this is not happening.
When I click the text or radio button the radio button is checked but URL is not changed.
Here is the code:

            Page 1
            <input type="radio" id="page-1" name="page" />

            Page 2
            <input type="radio" id="page-2" name="page" />

So on clicking one of these 2 items the URL should change like www.website.com/#first-page
I tried to remove for="page-1" and tried to remove
 and replace it with . But didn't work.
Why this is not working?

A: Use a validator.
It is forbidden to nest interactive elements (like links and radio buttons).
If you want a link, use a link. If you want a radio button, use a radio button.
If you want a link that looks like a radio button then first stop, reconsider if you really want a UI that doesn't behave like UIs that look that way are expected to behave and, if you really want to do something like that: simulate the radio button with an image.

A year ago, health care workers across the country were still in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, and the only way to stop a child from getting sick was to get him vaccinated.
Now, health authorities have started warning families that they may need to rethink their vaccination policy if the pandemics spreads further.
And while that's a big step, it's not without risks.
1:30: How can you prevent a child's coronaviruses from spreading?
2:15: How do you keep children safe while vaccinating them?
Here are the key questions you should be asking.
2,000: The number of children and adults being vaccinated at a single point in time.
That's an unprecedented number, as the country has seen more than 100,000 new coronavires in the last year alone.
How many more will we see?
2,200: The total number of people vaccinated during the pandemaker.
More than 10 million people were vaccinated in the past two weeks.
2.3 million: The estimated number of Americans who were vaccinated at one point in 2016.
That includes 1.6 million who got vaccinated last year.
That was nearly half of all U.S. residents.
1.3: The average age of an adult who received a vaccine in 2016; that's the age at which the pandep was first detected.
If this trend continues, it would mark the first time since 1955 that an outbreak has been detected at such a young age.
5:15 a.m.: The start of the first new coronivirus case since the pandebake started in mid-April.
That milestone came after the first coronaviral cases were confirmed in the United States.
That means the first case is almost always detected and reported.
9:30 a.mp: The time it takes to become contagious after an individual has been vaccinated, and how long it takes for symptoms to appear.
That number has been growing faster than the number of new cases, so it's important to keep that in mind.
The current rate of infections is less than a quarter of the rate during the early phases of the pandems pandemias.
ET: How many cases of coronavirosts has there been in the U.K. in the month of March alone?
That's the latest data available from the U

Legend. Idol. Icon. These are overused words these days, but not when it comes to the 2017 BMW M3. Now in its fifth generation, the M3 nameplate first appeared on a high-performance coupe back in 1987. Today, the M3 sedan is the most powerful, most expensive and undoubtedly the most desirable member of BMW's extensive 3 Series lineup. It's also one of the quickest, fastest and best-handling sedans in the world.
The M3 is created by BMW's M division, the German automaker's in-house tuner shop that competes head-to-head with AMG at Mercedes-Benz, S models from Audi and V cars from Cadillac. Little brother to the equally iconic M5 and M6 models, and most closely related to the two-door M4, the turbocharged M3 competes with such impressive contenders as the Mercedes C63 AMG, Cadillac ATS-V, and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Tuned on the Racetrack
BMW's high-performance M models, like the 2017 M3, are tuned on the world's racetracks, including the legendary north loop of Germany's Nurburgring, a circuit universally considered to be among the most challenging and most dangerous in the world. It's there, under extreme high-speed conditions, that a special team of engineers turns the already sporty and capable 3 Series sedan into this high-performance luxury muscle car.
Those engineers add an aggressively tuned suspension, larger brakes, bigger wheels and tires, and of course hefty doses of horsepower. A mechanical twin to the BMW M4 coupe and convertible, the legendary M3 sedan is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine making 425 hp. There's also an optional Competition Package which cranks that output up to 444 hp. That smooth inline six-cylinder engine is backed by a standard six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual clutch automatic with paddle shifters that BMW only uses in its M cars. The combination gets the rear-wheel drive M3 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds.
Low Base Price, No All-Wheel Drive
BMW M3 pricing starts at $65,945, including $995 for destination, which is almost $10,000 less than the Mercedes AMG C63 S and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Standard features include heated power front seats, Bluetooth, a tilting and telescopic steering wheel, a navigation system, leather upholstery, a 16-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system, and 18-inch wheels and tires.
Our loaded M3 test vehicle was equipped with a few pricey option packages and other extras that drove its sticker price up to $88,045. Its Competition Package cost $4,750. Aside from the additional 19 hp, it dials up the M3's handling capability with a quicker steering ratio, 20-inch wheels and tires, an adaptive suspension and M's Active Differential, which helps get the turbocharged power to the road. Our test car was also equipped with the M Carbon Ceramic Brake option, which cost an awesome $8,150, and the automatic transmission for $2,900. Despite all-wheel drive being an option on the other 3 Series models, it isn't offered on the M3.
A Great Drive
Everyone should drive an M3 at least once in their life. Put it on your bucket list. It's that good. Fast. Smooth. Comfortable. This small high-performance luxury sedan can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in just 8.6 seconds, yet it can be driven every day without sacrifice.
Unless you plan to take your 2017 BMW M3 to the track, the expensive Competition Package isn't necessary. It certainly adds performance, but it compromises quite a bit of the M3's comfort, adding a rougher ride and quite a bit of noise to the interior. Without it, the M3 is an excellent daily thrill ride. Its suspension is firm, even with the standard 18-inch wheels, but it's not overly aggressive. You feel the road, but you won't arrive at the office looking like you just went a few rounds with Mayweather. The M3 is sporty and responsive in the city, and on the twists and turns of a back road it's wonderfully balanced and seems to shrink around you the harder you push it. The turbocharged inline six-cylinder is extremely smooth, even at its 7,500 rpm redline, and it sounds like its spitting flames from its four oversized tailpipes.
Fast, But Not the Fastest
Although the M3 has the power to pin you to its leather seat, it cannot keep up with some of the other cars in its class. Even with the optional Competition Package, the 444-hp BMW M3 is less powerful than the Mercedes-Benz C63 S, Cadillac ATS-V, and the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio. The twin-turbo V8 in the Mercedes is packing 503 hp, the twin-turbo V6 in the Caddy is pumping out 464 hp and the Alfa's twin-turbo V6 is the king of pop with 505 hp. The M3's 406 lb-ft of torque, while impressive, is also less than the others, which even have eight-speed automatic transmissions to trump the BMW's seven-speed unit.
The good news is that the M3 weighs about 250 lbs less than its competition. Its low curb weight, however, isn't enough to overcome its power disadvantage. While the BMW is one of the quickest sedans you can buy with a 0-60 mph performance of 4.0 seconds and a quarter mile time of just 12.2 seconds, it's still slower than these competitors.
Understated Good Looks
Few will confuse a 2017 BMW M3 for a run-of-the-mill 3 Series. BMW's M division does a masterful job of reshaping the sedan's bodywork with additional attitude and aerodynamic trickery without making the car look juvenile or overly bejeweled. Almost every body panel is replaced, including the quarter panels, fenders, hood, and bumpers. The wheel arches are aggressively flared to cover the M3's larger wheels and tires, and the new front fenders are dressed with sizeable vents that look right on a sedan with the M3's high-performance capability. The designers also added an appropriate power dome to the hood and a sinister-looking front bumper with large air intakes to cool the M3's turbocharged engine.
My favorite view is from the rear, where you can really appreciate the M3's low, wide stance, and massive rear tires. Its four exhaust pipes, which are a signature feature on all M cars, are timelessly cool. And I'm thankful BMW resisted the urge to outfit the sedan's deck lid with a cartoonish rear spoiler.
Comfortable Sport Seats
Firm, heavily bolstered sport seats belong in a high-performance sedan with the M3's acceleration and cornering capability, and the BMW's are heated, well-shaped and extremely comfortable. Clear and concise analog gauges also fit the M3's mission, as does its fat three-spoke steering wheel our test car's glossy carbon fiber trim. The rest of the interior is basically taken from the 340i model, and it has an overall feeling of quality. There are beautiful materials and precise panel fitment. It's an interior that won't feel dated in a few years, and it can seat five if the ride is short.
Everything feels expensive, and there's a large screen in the center of the dash. Visibility is good. All the controls are well-placed, and the standard automatic climate controls are easy to use. The latest version of BMW's iDrive, which controls all of the car's infotainment system, is easily navigated and the system's large dial and buttons are well-placed on the console along with buttons that adjust the response of the suspension, steering, and transmission.
Small Trunk for the Class
Trunk space is tight, even for this class. The 2017 BMW M3 offers just 10.0 cubic feet of trunk space, which is less than the Mercedes, the Cadillac, and the Alfa, and its rear seat does not fold to expand that capacity, though a pass-through accommodates for long thin items like skis. Storage inside the BMW's interior is also limited; the center console bin is small and the door pockets are narrow. The two front seat cup-holders are well-sized, but they're questionably placed ahead of the shifter, where tall drinks can interfere with the dash and climate controls.
Fuel economy is good for the class. The M3 is rated at 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg highway, which is about the same as you get in its competition. I averaged 20.0 mpg in a week of spirited mixed driving around Los Angeles.
Advanced Safety Systems are Optional
Despite its lofty price tag, high-end safety systems are extra-cost options on the M3. BMW's Driving Assistance Plus Package includes a system that warns drivers if vehicles and pedestrians are in your path. If the car believes an accident is imminent, it will also automatically begin braking in low-speed situations. The package is good value at $1,700, and it also adds blind-spot detection and a side- and top-view camera offering a bird's eye view of the sedan and its surroundings. It really does makes parking easier.
Meanwhile, for another $3,900, the Executive Package includes a few comfort features like a heated steering wheel, onboard WiFi, parking assist sensors in the front and rear bumpers, and a head-up display that projects the speedometer and other information on the windshield ahead of the driver.
The Best M3 Ever
Since the late 1980s, the BMW M3 has been the benchmark for small high-performance luxury cars. It practically invented the segment and has become an automotive performance legend over the last 30 years. Faster, sexier and more luxurious than its predecessors, today's BMW M3 lives up to its lineage. This is the best M3 ever.
It may not match the horsepower of its rivals, but the new M3 makes up for it with a near perfect blend of speed, comfort, and style. If you're an enthusiast looking for a small high-performance luxury sedan, the 2017 BMW M3 is a very desirable choice.

The only thing I do not like about this recreation is that they've quite a lot of content material locked behind the subscription door. Lots of raids and areas nonetheless stay exclusive to premium gamers which is a giant flip off. You'll not understand it initially, however when you start leveling up, you may really feel the necessity to subscribe to the sport as your progres would decelerate significantly. The intrusive micro-transaction system would not do that sport any favor as effectively. I hope they are going to change it as quickly as doable.
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is another naughty, notti title from the early 90s. One glimpse at the box art and you'd know why. A combination of survival horror, exploration and crafting, this one has you wandering round a spooky castle, making an attempt to save Cassandra Peterson's well-known witchy persona from ghastly loss of life. Fact be told, whereas the sport received accolades, I found it the controls considerably stiff, and the horror elements had been predictable after some time. But this was about Elvira. A beautiful B-film icon that has sadly been somewhat forgotten. Please, carry her back in full 3D glory. Yes. 3D. Hair and spiders and all. And naturally, ahem, these legendary bbs.
Though Christmas has historically been the time when we buy games as items, there are times throughout the yr when you may have the urge to get some new issues for the household to make use of for entertainment collectively- few digital games are conducive for household togetherness.
Now the good news is that we do not have to spend money on these. They're all accessible online totally free. Play as a lot as you want them. Now I'm not massive on taking part in games, especially the brand new era ones. However I was in my childhood days. And certain you also have been. So, maintain every part aside bask in nostalgia and refresh some outdated reminiscences.

Q: CocoaPod with local dependency pod install fails Not much I can add to this but the below verbose logging when executing pod install using CocoaPods version 1.0.1

-> Fetching podspec for mobile-ios-common from ../mobile-ios-common
Resolving dependencies of Podfile [!] Unable to satisfy the
  following requirements:

*

*mobile-ios-common (from../mobile-ios-common) required by Podfile
It seems like you've changed the constraints of dependency
  mobile-ios-common inside your development pod
  mobile-ios-common. You should run pod update
  mobile-ios-common to apply changes you've made.

This same command works on a different app at the same level with the same definition for the mobile-ios-common dependency.  I have tried running pod deintegrate and then trying it again without luck.  Not sure how it would be aware of a change if I am basically running it clean.
I did try running pod update mobile-ios-common but it then says there is no Podfile.lock and I should then run pod install
So question is why is this happening and/or how do I move forward debugging this.
