Social Licence—Development of new resource-related infrastructure still faces considerable opposition due to environmental concerns and issues related to Indigenous treaty rights. This has weighed on industry investment in recent years.
Transportation Issues—A lack of new pipeline capacity exiting Western Canada continues to result in a significant discount on Canadian crude prices, hurting revenues for oil and gas producers, with spinoff impacts for support services.
Prices—Although still well below pre-financial-crisis levels, some key commodity prices have increased over the past year, something that is supportive of new exploration and development activity.


ROTH. Following athlete feedback, DATEV Challenge Roth's new run course will feature some changes for 2018 as the event celebrate 35 Years of Triathlon in Roth. The 2018 course will combine the best of the old, traditional course with the new course introduced in 2017. The 2018 course is one-lap with only 160 instead of 330 vertical metres.
As previously, the new course heads from Transition Zone 2 to the Roth Canal, through the industrial area before branching off south to the first turn around at Eckersmühlen lock. From there it heads back to Roth industrial area and continues north to the Leerstetten lock (turning point 2), then along the canal back to Roth. After a short loop on the Alte Allersberger road, the athletes run through Rothgrund to the Roth town centre. Then, as in 2017, it's off to Büchenbach before heading back to the centre of Roth and finally to the finish line stadium.
With this course, TEAMCHALLENGE combines all the advantages of the previous two courses. The result is a run which is almost as flat as the traditional course with only 160 meters of altitude, but which offers athletes more safety and a higher level of running comfort with less crowding on the canal. Another advantage is that the elimination of last year's two-way track, again, relieving congestion. But it's important to note the spectator experience that was so universally welcomed in 2017 is not compromised. 17 hotspots along the course remain with plans to add new ones.
The significantly reduced elevation, along with the fast running surface will make the athletes happy. Feedback after the 2017 race from the athletes indicated they found the double trip to Büchenbach very demanding, but they really enjoyed the amazing atmosphere at the hot spot there and the general spectator-friendliness of the course.
From Transition Zone 2 to Gartenstraße / ACUNA practice clinic as before (500 meters).
Unchanged via Espaner Berg, past the WÜST hot spot in front of Nüssli to Kanal-Lände and continue Speck hot spot, then branch off to the right along the canal to the Eckersmühlen lock to the outskirts of Haimpfarrich. The first turn around is directly in front of the lock wall at 8km.
Via Speck Pumpen back towards Rothgrund, first straight ahead into the Alte Al-Lersberger Straße. From there you continue to the WÜST-Hotspot and Espaner Berg and back to Roth, then on the Gartenstraße turn left into the Mühlgasse and continue to the right to the Sparkasse.
Now heading towards Pfaffenhofen, after "Blumen Basso" turn left into Sandgasse. Straight on to the end of the road, cross over the Rednitz Rive towards the sewage treatment plant. From there follow the road to Büchenbach.
There turn right from Gartenstraße into the street "Am Espan" and as before to the finish in the finish line stadium (900 meters).
The new course is flat except for a rise just before Büchenbach and the recent addition towards Lände and is completely on paved, closed roads. Only (as before) the short wooded area to Lände and the short stretch of the canal is run on gravel paths. While the 2017 course was designed as a two-lap course and so all climbs had to be tackled twice, the new route is designed as a one-lap course, so that instead of about 330m of vertical gain in 2017 there is now only about 160m.

We now turn to the contributions that the last of the main forces in psychology, behaviourism, has made to the study of personality. Although behaviourism is no longer the pre-eminent force it once was within psychology, it is still claimed to be — together with its many offshoots and variants — the most objective and scientific approach within the subject, as it concerns itself not with the accounts people give of their own states of mind, but with observations of what they actually do (that is, of their behaviour). It shows little interest in the mechanisms that psychodynamic and humanistic psychology see as underlying personality. The problem with such things, behaviourists have traditionally argued, is that they are based largely on speculation rather than on the structured observation that characterises all good science. It is impossible to observe directly the unconscious processes postulated by Freud and others (or even to test their workings directly, as it is possible to do with qualities such as learning and remembering). Even the concept of personality traits is seen as being of value only if such traits are assessed by questionnaires designed to reveal how people typically behave in various key situations.


Conan the Destroyer is a 1984 American sword and sorcery/adventure film directed by Richard Fleischer, and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan. The cast also includes Mako Iwamatsu, Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, Tracey Walter and Olivia d'Abo. It is the sequel to Conan the Barbarian 1982.
When John Milius, director of Conan the Barbarian, proved to be unavailable for the sequel, Dino De Laurentis suggested Richard Fleischer to his daughter Raffaella De Laurentiis, who was producing Conan the Destroyer. Fleischer had already made Barabbas (1961) and Mandingo (1975) for Dino De Laurentiis.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, with the help of Will Hatty, put on an extra 5 kilograms (10 pounds), at director Richard Fleischer's request, to play Conan in this film. Singer Grace Jones gave a noteworthy performance as the female warrior Zula. This would be the first major role for seven-foot, one-inch-tall basketball player Wilt Chamberlain. The musical score of the film was composed, conducted and produced by Basil Poledouris, and Jack Cardiff was the director of photography.
Previous film Conan the Barbarian, made approximately $40 million at the U.S. box office when it was released in 1982 with an R-rating, and an additional $50 million in international markets. Universal Pictures and producer Dino De Laurentiis thought it would have been even more successful if it had been less violent. So they decided to tone down the violence in the sequel. Conan the Destroyer originally received an R-rating like its predecessor, but the film was recut in order to secure a PG-rating. Fleischer made a movie that was less violent (and somewhat more humorous) than the first.
The film was successful at the box office, grossing a respectable $31,042,035 in the U.S. and an additional $69 million in international markets, with the film grossing a combined total of $100,042,035. However critical response was not as strong as for the original film.


Technology integrator AVnew of Altamonte Springs, Florida has selected Analog Way's NeXtage 08-4K and 16-4K seamless AV processors to drive LED videowalls and a projection display at a trio of churches throughout Florida. AVnew is a full-service AV and technology company specializing in working with houses of worship in central and south Florida.
Parente calls the NeXtage family "our go-to video switchers/processors," which are equally adept at driving large-scale LED videowalls and big-screen projection displays.
For Converge, a church planting organization headquartered in Lake Nona, AVnew installed a NeXtage 16-4K for the 30 x 10-foot ROE CB3 LED videowall in the group's main event space. The multi-purpose space hosts non-profit events and is home to a local church for its weekly services; the LED videowall, which features Brompton processing, acts as a presentation and scenic element.
Parente reports that Analog Way provided extra support for the three projects during the installations. They were able to ensure smooth edge-blending for Life With Life Church and seamless processing of the custom resolutions for the LED walls at Mosaic Church and Converge.

Memory / First Person
by Kevin M. Levin via The Atlantic on August 19, 2017
The pedestal in Baltimore that was formerly the base for a statue of Roger B. Taney, former Chief Justice and majority author of the Dred Scott decision (August 16, 2017)
Six years before it would become the inspiration for bloody protests, the Robert E. Lee monument in Charlottesville, Virginia, was vandalized. The 2011 incident capped off my 11-year residency in the small city—where I'd taught high-school history and where my understanding of the legacy of the Civil War was nurtured. There was no better place to teach the Civil War than Charlottesville. Some of the most important battlefields in Richmond, Fredericksburg, and the Shenandoah Valley are within an hour's drive. But it was the region's monuments that played a central role in my teaching, and I believed they should be left alone.
I argued my position in an essay for The Atlantic: "For better or for worse, monuments to Confederate heroes are part of our story, but each of us can choose how to engage with these places. We can express outrage over their existence. We can alter them with statements of our own. Or we can let them be, appreciate their aesthetic qualities, and reflect carefully on their history." I fell short on understanding what they still meant to some in the community. I didn't realize that so many of my neighbors didn't need further reflection at all.
Utilizing Confederate monuments in my classes offered students a window into the history of the war, but more importantly, it introduced them to the difficult distinction between history and memory. The tributes showed how communities like Charlottesville and Richmond chose to remember the conflict long after the guns fell silent, and how they used the memory of Confederate leaders to impart moral lessons on future generations. And my students learned how the monuments helped establish and maintain a system of Jim Crow segregation—by defining and enforcing the city's racial boundaries through much of the 20th century. Monument sites became classrooms where I could teach about the long and difficult history of racism in America. Taking them down seemed to represent the antithesis of my goals as a teacher.

Nissan Working to Advance Use of Large Electric Vehicles in Seattle, World
2018 nissan leaf news in seattlenissan leaf car news for seattle washingtonnissan leaf in seattle washingtonnissan electric news in renton washingtonnissan leaf in bellevue washington
(Posted on Jan 19, 2018 at 09:55AM by Billy Kirk)
For years, the high cost of parts and development associated with large electric vehicles has stagnated that field. However, beginning in Japan, Nissan is now working to use LEAF technology to jumpstart an EV bus project that may eventually bring affordable zero-emission public transit worldwide.
Part of a Kumamoto University joint project with the local Ministry of Environment, the endeavor hopes to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from large vehicles. The "Yoka ECO Bus" is slated for real-world testing in western Japan beginning in February and will use an inverter pulled straight from the Nissan LEAF. A specialized gearbox is also being developed by the automaker.
Of course, the implementation of LEAF technology into this ambitious project is a no-brainer. Nissan's car has shipped more than 300,000 units worldwide since its inception and is renowned for its progressive design. The upcoming 2018 model will bring consumers a 150-mile driving range, as well as 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. Further, the zero-emissions EV will be run by a 40-kilowatt lithium-ion battery that's capable of a tremendous 124 city / 101 highway MPGe.
With such technology under its belt, it seems that the EV bus project is bound for great success not only in Japan but, eventually, globally. Call us at Kirkland Nissan today to discuss the manufacturer's all-electric endeavors, including the upcoming 2018 LEAF!
Seattle Looks on As Nissan LEAF Nabs 2018 FIPA Green Car of the Year Honors
2018 nissan leaf news in seattlenissan leaf car news for seattle washingtonnissan leaf in seattle washingtonnissan ces news in renton washingtonnissan leaf in bellevue washington
What a huge week it's been for Nissan. The Japanese manufacturer just revealed their tremendous Xmotion crossover concept yesterday, and now their all-electric LEAF EV has been named the "2018 FIPA Green Car of the Year" at Detroit's North American International Auto Show.
The distinction comes courtesy of the Inter-American Federation of Automobile Journalists (FIPA) and puts the 2018 LEAF in high regard, scoring the zero-emissions vehicle higher than all nine other award candidates. The announcement comes on the heels of the "2016 4-Wheel Drive Electric Car of the Year" honor that the previous generation EV secured.
Nissan's LEAF recently reached the 300,000-units-sold milestone and the 2018 version seems poised to add tremendously to that number. The next-generation car, due for North American release in mere months, offers a new battery that provides a 150-mile driving range. This increases the outgoing capacity by 43. Further, the motor generates 147 HP and 236-lb.-ft. of torque, while fuel efficiency is outstanding at an MPGe of 124 city / 101 highway.

New 2018 Nissan LEAF to Make Appearance at CES, Wow Seattleites
(Posted on Jan 9, 2018 at 05:49AM by Billy Kirk)
The Consumer Electronics Show 2018 is set to kick off in Las Vegas today, and Nissan is ready to make a serious splash. Among other announcements and reveals, the revered automaker is excited to show the all-new, zero-emissions 2018 LEAF to attendees.
The 2018 LEAF has been thoughtfully redesigned from the ground up. The engine and 40-kilowatt lithium-ion battery combine for sensational results. Power is in no short supply, as the car is capable of outputting 147 HP and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. There's an increased driving range of 150 miles on a single charge—a significant boost over the outgoing model by a total of 43. And the MPGe of the hatchback is a wicked 124 city / 101 highway.
Let's take a moment to talk about ProPILOT Advanced Driving Assistance, too. It senses where surrounding cars are and makes automatic measures to control the distance between them and your LEAF. The system will also keep you centered in your lane. Further, e-Pedal technology lets you operate the vehicle using only the accelerator—you can start, stop, and increase or decrease speed through that one input.

2018 Nissan LEAF Bringing Sophisticated Technology to Seattle
2018 nissan leaf news in seattlenissan leaf car news for seattle washingtonnissan leaf in seattle washingtonnissan leaf in renton washingtonnissan leaf in bellevue washington
(Posted on Jan 4, 2018 at 11:50PM by Billy Kirk)
Hey, Seattle! The 2018 Nissan LEAF is almost here—it's due to arrive early this year—and it's bringing smart technology along with it. ProPILOT Assist functionality is set to change the way you drive.
The all-electric, zero-emissions 2018 Nissan LEAF utilizes the aforementioned ProPILOT Assist's driving functionality to advance the way Seattleites and those the world over commute. Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) detects cars traveling to the front of your vehicle once you pick a speed, and then intelligently adjusts your setting up or down as necessary to compensate for the automobiles around you.
TACC is superb, but that isn't the only clever trick ProPILOT Assist has up its sleeve. Because it's semi-autonomous, it will keep the LEAF centered within its lane when the feature is activated via the handy blue button on the steering wheel. And although Nissan still considers it a "hands-on" system, it will even handle stop-and-go traffic for you. What a boon for those dealing with pesky morning commutes!

Nissan today announced an incredible global milestone—the shipment of their 300,000th LEAF since the vehicle first went on sale in 2010. It's a fantastic achievement for the world's best-selling all-electric car and sets the table for the amazing advancements the next-generation EV has in store when it releases later this year.
The 2018 Nissan LEAF will surely quickly add to the success of the line when it hits showrooms across Seattle and North America in the months ahead. It's powered by sensational technology, including an engine that generates 147 HP and 236-lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 40 horses and nearly 50-lb.-ft. over the 2017 model. And with a new 40-kWh lithium-ion battery, drivers will benefit from a 150-mile range on a single charge.
The new LEAF is a looker, as well. The familiar "V-Motion" chrome front grille is featured, although it's finished by a striking blue geometric pattern that's decidedly futuristic. The hood of the car now offers greater curvature for enhanced aerodynamics, too.

(Posted on Dec 27, 2017 at 03:03PM by Billy Kirk)
Nissan's always up to something that involves pushing boundaries and gradually evolving the world we're living in. Sometimes that purely entails a new automobile-exclusive technology, but at other junctures, it's something a bit grander in scope. This is the latter case, as the manufacturer is working to nurture a clean energy initiative in Japan and globally.
The initial focus comes in the Land of the Rising Sun. Nissan announced today that 2018 LEAF owners in that country qualify for the free installation of solar panels. The unique offer comes via a partnership between Ecosystem Japan and the automaker, with the goal of achieving the use of 100% clean energy to power the all-new electric vehicle. Anyone that signs up for a qualifying plan will receive the system, which can then be leveraged to juice up their EV.
The 2018 LEAF itself brings the prospect of clean energy usage outside of Japan and to the rest of the world, including within Seattle when the car releases early next year. The new vehicle adopts a maximum driving range of 150 miles on only one charge. Additionally, the all-electric engine produces a healthy 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque.
Contact us today to hear more about the LEAF and any clean energy initiatives Nissan may have cooking for the United States!
10,000 Europeans Order 2018 Nissan LEAF Ahead of Seattle Release
The all-electric Nissan LEAF is an incredible zero-emissions vehicle that's been completely redesigned for 2018, offering brand new performance and intelligence features. Accordingly, consumers are voting with their wallets. A total of 10,000 customers have already pre-ordered the car ahead of next year.
Since its unveiling in October 2017, the 2018 LEAF has received unprecedented interest. Orders for the first EV in the line back in 2010 only numbered in the hundreds. It was, after all, unproven technology. However, there has been a five-fold increase in purchases since 2012, with 83,000 drivers now on the road.
The 10,000 orders in Europe alone come ahead of the LEAF's release in February 2018. Consumers in Seattle will be eager to get in on the fun, too, as the new car features a number of advancements. Included among these is ProPILOT Advanced Driving Assistance, which monitors vehicles traveling ahead and automatically breaks and centers itself within the lane as necessary. Additionally, the EV boasts a 150-mile range
and the convenience of ePedal technology. This system enables owners to stop, start, accelerate and brake using only one input.

Seattle Watches Eagerly as European 2018 LEAF Production Begins
Get ready, Seattle and North America! The all-new 2018 Nissan LEAF is almost here, scheduled for a release early this year in this territory. However, in the interim, aficionados on our side of the pond can look on eagerly as production has kicked off on the zero-emissions wonder car in the United Kingdom.
Nissan announced this week that the very first LEAF EVs are coming out of the plant in Sunderland, UK. The initial vehicles will be delivered to European customers in February. Each will be imbued with the latest technology, including improvements over the 2017 model in regards to design, driver assistance, and range.
The new LEAF delivers a range of 150 miles on a single battery charge, with performance increased to a total of 147 horses and 236-lb.-ft. of torque. There's also intelligent design throughout. ProPILOT Advanced Driving Assistance monitors surrounding vehicles and automatically controls the distance to the automobile traveling ahead, as well as centering the car within the lane. Additionally, the new e-Pedal is standard on all models. It enables operators to start, stop, increase and decrease speed by using only the accelerator, simplifying the experience.

(Posted on Dec 16, 2017 at 10:35AM by Billy Kirk)
While many of us look to Nissan for our automotive needs—roomy crossovers such as the Pathfinder and all-electric wonders such as the LEAF—occasionally, the Japanese automaker can touch lives in far more integral ways. This can be evidenced most recently in their work in South Africa, as the company helped deliver a new water system to a secondary school.
The backstory: Several months ago, Nissan received a special request from the Bahlaloga Secondary School in Lonsdale, Limpopo, South Africa. They needed a new water tank—a truly functional setup. The Japanese manufacturer wasted little time in conducting an analysis and snapping into action, replacing the old borehole system and introducing the fresh alternative to the community.
The new water system was recently unveiled to the gathered local leaders, teachers, and students at Bahlologa. While previously only one tap at the school was working, there are now four working at full capacity. This marks a monumental improvement, as hundreds rely on the setup for their needs each day.
If you're interested in hearing more about the automaker's involvement in the community—or regarding their commitment to the environment with the LEAF—don't hesitate to call us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle!
Seattle Looks on as Nissan Begins Global Virtual Power Plant Project
Nissan has announced a partnership with TEPCO to begin a virtual power plant study. The project will first take place in Japan, although the company hopes to bring the initiative worldwide in the future.
TEPCO employees will utilize the e-NV200 electrical commercial van for the project, while Nissan's own staff will turn to the zero-emissions LEAF. Starting this past week and running until the end of January, participants will be instructed to only charge their EVs when demand on the local power grid is low. The study will then assess how closely each individual alters their routine when they choose to "juice up" their cars.
The project will utilize existing infrastructure and leverage Nissan's telematics system, a service that caters to LEAF and EV owners by enabling the remote monitoring of their vehicles via a smartphone app. The hypothesis is that power demand fluctuations on the grid will be mitigated if participants adhere to the charging instructions. All data collected will help to ascertain the most efficient electric car usage, with the intent to eventually create virtual plants worldwide as part of a smart-energy society.
As a reminder, the 2018 LEAF is poised to advance all-electric design when it releases in North America later this year. The new 40-kilowatt lithium-ion battery provides 150 miles of driving range, and the motor generates 147 HP and 236-lb.-ft. of torque.

16-inch MacBook Pro pop noise fix coming in software update
Peter Cohen on December 7, 2019
Some new 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops from Apple are exhibiting a very distinctive popping sound coming from the speaker when using some apps. Apple says it's a software problem that will be addressed in forthcoming updates, according to MacRumors.
Apple introduced the 16-inch MacBook Pro in November and it's gotten mostly good reviews from early adopters because of its improved keyboard, larger screen real estate and other amenities. The popping sound is an annoyance that's been noted by users of the new device in various online discussion groups.
After trying to isolate the problem to software, an Authorized Service Provider (ASP) might then request parts from Apple or send the device to an Apple repair depot for further diagnosis.
As obtained by MacRumors, a service bulletin distributed to Apple's ASP network acknowledges the 16-inch MacBook Pro pop noise problem, advising personnel that hardware repairs to correct the problem are unnecessary.
When using Final Cut Pro X, Logic Pro X, QuickTime Player, Music, Movies, or other applications to play audio, users may hear a pop come from the speakers after playback has ended. Apple is investigating the issue. A fix is planned in future software updates. Do not set up service, or replace the user's computer, as this is a software-related issue.
Do you have a new 16-inch MacBook Pro? Have you noticed the pop noise problem? Or is it smooth sailing? Sound off in the comments.

Capcom has detailed the Super Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition, which will be released in April.
First off, the CE will contain a CD with the characters' background music, all promotional videos and trailers, character art, and a mini story for Super Street Fighter IV. It will run you around $66 and Capcom plans to announce another "special item" for it at a later date.
Secondly, the game gets some content exclusive to Xbox 360 in the form of an anime film focusing on Juri. This anime comes from Director Kizaki (Afro Samurai) of Japanese animation studio GONZO!.
Both PS3 and Xbox 360 will get a classic pack of alternative costumes for Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Gen, and Fei Long which can be downloaded free of charge with the game until July 1 – after which you will have to purchase these threads.
Also, the Super Classic Pack of third alternate costumes for Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Gen, and Fei Long will be immediately available for free until July 1 (via EventHubs).
All of this sounds like a SSIV fan's dream come true, we reckon.
The game was given a release date this morning in the US for April 27, with Europe and UK getting it April 30.
Capcom announced its spring line-up during an even held in Japan earlier today as well.
Thanks, Mington.

Here we're going to announce the administrative decisions, such as penalties, bans and deadlines for line ups. I'll list the captains below.
The first country to be penalized in this World Cup will be Colombia B, as a good amount of participants didn't bother to communicate with each other they have been eliminated and the players who did commit to participating will be transferred around. Colombia B has been eliminated from the tournament, the bracket will be the same, the only change is every team that is supposed to face it will get a free win.
Basque country has also been penalized and it has been changed to Spain B, the same thing as Colombia B but due to being part of Spanish territory, the Spanish team has transferred some players and has now been divided between Spain A and Spain B.
The offending parties have been banned from the World Cup and future events hosted by the current hosts.
The spreadsheet with the stats have been updated with that information.
The deadline for the Week 1 formations will be Monday 21 22:00 ET.
It has come to our attention that the Turkish team has only three players that are considered to be active enough to play this tournament. These players are "Kamowanthere", "Utkan" and "Winterclaw". They asked to be able to play all the 5 tiers with only the 3 active players, which they initially were allowed to do. After a discussion with the hosts, it was decided that allowing the same player to play multiple tiers is against what this event should be about. Although it was agreed that the decision to allow Turkey to play with three players for Week 1 will not be reverted, they will not be allowed to do so in the following weeks. Because these inactive players are expected to be inactive for the entire duration of the tournament, it was agreed with the hosts that the best course of action would be to allow these three active Turkish players to join another team for the remainder of this event, if they wish to do so. The Turkish players will be eligible to play in their new team from Week 2 onward, if they decide to join a new team.
The hosts would like to remind you that after you've signed up to this event, your teammates are dependent on you. Please don't let your teammates down unless your situation really requires you to.
Team Belgium has substituted out TheBeldumMaster and his NU game will be played by Zbleeex. @BabyLo, please schedule accordingly.
With the current update Zorua and Zoroark are now available.
For week 3 they are both banned from all tiers and formats, however they will be allowed during week 4, have a great time in the event guys.
Due to Colombia's chechof's absence lately he'll be replaced by @camilo7 aka enchanteur.
@DrButler arrange your match with him as soon as possible.
@yegod please reschedule your match with them.
For the remainder of the week the recently moved Pokemon Wobbuffet and Dugtrio will be banned from OU in this tournament. This ban will end at the start of the week after.
Due some issues spain B subtitute vhalak and KEIMBWG will take their place at OU vcs Luis anderson.
Week 4: Kamimiii will be replacing YUBELLLLLLLLLLLL this week @SweeTforU please arrange your match with him.
Hello everybody, we submit the way we gonna face the single elimination phase.
When you have low HP and You use trick/thief/switcheroo againist a pokemon with berry juice, the berry juice You stole never activate in the match even you switch the pokemon, so be careful is a current bug that Pinklabel discover in their match, have a nice day.
USA make a substitutions in UU, will switch Titinn for Cali so Cali will play Uu this week.
Argentina B make a subtitution, switch pitzzin for sejuani.
Rest Of Latin america make a substitution in lc, switc Josuax and Roxxass in.
Colombia A make a subtitution in doubles, enchanteur out iJulianFNT in.
We the host wanna say Thank you too all the teams that participate in this group phase and wasn't able to pass to single elimination. It was a pride for us to have wonderful and competitive teams like them. Thank you for all the support and the drama, the matches, thank you for everything. Stay close 'cause tomorrow begin the play offs.
Like a short one: "OscarFail agreed to play with BurntZebra on time x but instead of playing his World Cup battle as scheduled with his opponent, he opted to play an official tournament at the same time instead. Do not schedule a time with your opponent if you do not intend to stick to it. The hosts understand there can be certain obstacles in life that prevent you from playing from the previously agreed time but in this case it was clear that OscarFail would have been able to play this battle and therefor this is a clear example of match avoidance and utter disrespect to your opponent and not respecting the value of their time, he preffer to play the ou tournament. The host(s) considered the severity of these actions worthy of one week suspension of OscarFail.

Pneumatic Design
In the 1960s, the development of thermo-bonding techniques for waterproof plastic fabrics led to the proliferation of pneumatic applications.
Costantino Corsini
Originally published in Domus 457/December 1967
Man managed to fly for the first time clinging to a balloon. For centuries, he studied and experimented with complicated flying machines, perfect mechanisms that cost many a life of study, observations and life itself. Then the situation changed: a membrane, hot air and up into the sky. Air solved a problem as old as the world. Today we solve many of our problems with air; just think of car tires, and even if there is no real Science of the Inflatable, our interest is clear in this ever-expanding technique that contributes to changing and improving our lives.
Left: Blow chair designed by architects C. Scolari, P. Lomazzi, D. D'Urbino, J. De Pas and mass-produced by Zanotta in Lissone (Milan), in transparent and colored PVC, shown at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in September 1967. Right: spherical inflatable chair, designed by the British group Incadinc and produced by London's Goods and Chattels, in red, white, blue, purple PVC (The Architectural Design, October 1967). Above: furniture pieces in inflatable transparent PVC, designed by architects Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul Jungmann and Antonio Stinco in Paris for the AJS-Aerolande inflatable furniture series.
Even in architecture and urbanism, the studies and examples of pneumatic applications do not fail to fascinate us with their science fiction connotations. Now we have come to interiors and furniture, attracted by the possibility of transient solutions, which satisfy the negation of durable meaning, opposing it with the object made out of nothing and only for use. The problem was in the air. There was general discussion among designers and proposals were made to manufacturers, who could not free themselves from the phobia of the balloon and the needle. Then, suddenly, the first pictures were printed in large popular publications along with the first articles and so on in all publications, even the dailies: from "Life" to "II Giorno" the inflatable has now become news and, as "Le Nouvel Observateur" states, public opinion is infected with the le virus de la pneumanie.
Inflatable chair, manufactured by Unika Vaev, Copenhagen as early as 1962 on the deisgn of Danish designer Verner Panton: it is in blue, transparent PVC with different inner tubes (Domus 408).
In New York, business opportunities are never passed up and Mass Art Incorporated is already producing a series of inflatable plastic furniture: chairs, pillows and even a mattress-bed whose modular elements are dimensioned in relation to the user's height. The colors of the glossy transparent vinyl are vibrant and the technique is in the packaging; the laboratories are reminiscent of paper dresses and even in this case, commercial exploitation is prevalent. One cannot get over the feeling of working for a precarious market with the impression that today's massive orders will be followed by sudden drops and the need to change production. Of course all of this finds precise correspondence in the design of the models: looking at them, you certainly don't feel like you're witnessing a phenomenon that will revolutionize our homes but one thinks, rather, of object-toys created to amuse and amaze.
Even in architecture and urbanism, the studies and examples of pneumatic applications do not fail to fascinate us with their science fiction connotations.
IInflatable chair by Bernard Quentin, Paris designer: large and light. Quentin's are the first large inflatable chairs (no substructure), which have been realized.
In Europe, where true mass production has not come about, the prototypes show more ambition and solicit some interest from major manufacturers but also here, it is a testing ground full of ideas, of attempts. The generality of these examples may provide the opportunity for easy criticism of what is alien to the design process and, on the other hand, it does not seem to be the case to attempt the complicated recovery of these phenomena, seeking their place in our industrial culture. We prefer to consider them only exciting anticipations....It will be fitting, then, to encourage an awareness of the problem, denouncing any ambiguity regarding the objectives and the cultural state that contributes to determining them.
Left: two colored inflatable stools. Right: another pneu realization by Quentin: an accumulation of pneumatic forms on exhibit in June in Paris at the Galerie Givaudan. Quentin had a show at the Galleria Apollinaire in Milan this winter.
By Walter Pichler, architect and designer in Vienna, a transparent inflatable sculpture (Grosser Raum, 1966) shown in a transparent sphere, in Kapfenberg Park, Austria, in the spring.
Oyodon (named after a fish of the Nile which swells enormously when exposed to air) is an experimental pneumatic housing project, designed by architects Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul Jungmann and Antonio Stinco, Paris: a large alveolar volume, with double walls and tubular ribs inflated until they become stiff, with pneumatic furnishings and equipment. A light portable, floating volume that can be suspended by cables in a void... The project was presented in July at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
From Archigram Group in London, the idea of a human-scale container, a kind of well-equipped pneumatic spacesuit, which releases, on command, a pneumatic capsule-environment.
Left: Pneumatic structure by Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul Jungmann and Antonio Stinco in Paris, 1967. Right: temporary outdoor sculptures in colored PVC, from three to eight meters high, in Kapfenberg Park (Austria), designed by Hans Hollein, architect.
Right: an inflated transparent plastic seat, designed by Piero Poletto, set designer, for the film La decima vittima by Elio Petri, 1966 (Domus 437).
Armchair in transparent PVC (parts spray finished), designed by architects Jean Aubert, Jean-Paul Jungmann and Antonio Stinco, Paris, for the AJS-Aerolande series of inflatable furniture. Produced by Plermag of La Charite-sur-Loire, the chair is made of two independent parts: an arm-back (made of two tubes) and an ottoman, tied with a belt to the back. (Here is the chair photographed at Galeries Lafayette in Paris, October '67).

It is best to notice in Lake Mary that a lot of credit card companies never permit cardholders in Lake Mary FL to take the entire level of the credit limit as a personal loans.

I have an enormous hospital credit card debts that I am facing due to an extremely complex operation in Lake Mary. Anguish from a clot in the mind region in Lake Mary is no pleasure, and when I used to be hurried in Lake Mary to the hospital due to exceptionally debilitating headaches in Lake Mary to get an MRI, they located the clot in Lake Mary FL.
What now? Operation in Lake Mary! But it was not as easy as that in Lake Mary. The emergency room physician that gave me in Lake Mary FL the somewhat disagreeable news in Lake Mary said that a highly specialized operation team in Lake Mary will have to be collected, and in Lake Mary all I really could think about in Lake Mary was the tremendous expense this would create in Lake Mary.
Despite the fact in Lake Mary that my insurance is decent, the deductible is still quite high in Lake Mary FL, in the thousands. This momentous change in my own life in Lake Mary led me to locate some ready cash subsequent to the hospitalization in Lake Mary. I wanted short term loans instantly, not some vague time later on in Lake Mary Florida, but enjoy right now! So, I'd passed by those personal loans facilities on my approach to work mundane, as well as used one once to purchase a money order.
I saw the hint they do give unsecure personal loans fast, as long as one has the right info in Lake Mary FL and will reveal present income on a steady basis in Lake Mary. I figured what the heck in Lake Mary, I'd like to give it a shot in Lake Mary, all they can do is say no in Lake Mary. But they did not in Lake Mary Florida, and they were quite nice to deal with in Lake Mary.
I realized in Lake Mary after I was told regarding the interest rates in Lake Mary that I Had need certainly to cover in Lake Mary on a monthly basis if I did not pay off the personal loans entirely, but I also understood that with the amount in Lake Mary of money that I needed to borrow in Lake Mary, I could manage the price. Basically I needed to borrow in Lake Mary FL two hundred dollars and I'd must cover around thirty dollars in Lake Mary for the unsecure cash advance loans.
The cash in Lake Mary Florida I needed seriously to borrow was for household expenses in Lake Mary, in addition to gasoline and food in Lake Mary. I simply needed seriously in Lake Mary to get by to get a month or two in Lake Mary, and that I must state the short term loans service came in quite useful in Lake Mary FL! Provided that one does not abuse the bad credit loans services these companies supply in Lake Mary, they're quite amenable to use in Lake Mary.
There's no credit check in Lake Mary, no bank account is needed in Lake Mary, so when said before in Lake Mary, the single signs fast cash loans must supply is the proof of a steady income in Lake Mary.

Here Is Jaguar's First Electric Car, the I-Pace
Jag's first electric car has a 90 kWh battery pack, all-wheel drive, and 240 miles of range.
By Travis Okulski
Last March, we saw the I-Pace concept, Jaguar's first electric car. It was half sporty crossover, half sports car, and we were told it was intended for production in just a year. Well, a year has passed, and this is the production I-Pace.
First thing you notice is that very little appears to have changed from the concept. It maintains the flush door handles, the rakish rear end, and snub nose front. On paper it sounds like the design would be a mess of sports car and SUV combined, but the final product works and makes it look like a futuristic hot hatch.
What really matters is what's powering the I-Pace. Here we have a 90 kWh battery pack powering all four-wheels. It has a range of 240 miles, makes 394 horsepower and 512 lb-ft through its front and rear electric motors, and can get to 60 in 4.5 seconds. The battery is also capable of an 80 percent charge in just 40 minutes at a 100 kWh fast charger, and can charge overnight on a home charger.
As you'd expect, it's also full of tech. There's a new dual-screen infotainment system (similar to the one in the Range Rover Velar), a new nav system that works to maximize electric range, AI that can update the range real time while you're driving depending on your habits, and over-the-air software updates to keep the tech up-to-date. It also can interact with Amazon Alexa, so you can ask Alexa if your car is locked or how charged it is. It also comes with an eight year, 100,000 mile warranty on the batteries.
US pricing will be announced at next week's Geneva Motor Show and sales should start in the second half of 2018.

Plans Approved for
By susanchristie in · November 24, 2009 · No comments
Perth and Kinross Council has granted Planning Consent for a National Curling Academy on a near three-acre site in Kinross designed by Archial Architects, one of the largest architectural practices in Scotland and the UK,
The planning bid, submitted by the Kinross Curling Trust, was supported by the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, the sport's governing body in Scotland. The plans comprised proposals for a six-rink ice pad, changing facilities, gym, cafe, curling museum, offices and associated facilities. Parking will also be provided for around 130 cars.
Charles Smith, director at Archial Architects, said, "The general design features of the building reflect the intentions for a world class facility. The elevational treatment of the building is suitably distinctive and will enhance the site's sense of identity and linkages to the adjacent rural character, using natural, sustainable materials such as timber cladding within the scheme, which creates a horizontal emphasis to the building.
"The use of different materials externally relates directly to the internal composition, therefore linking the internal space arrangements with the external appearance which, in turn, relates to the site and its origins.
"Whilst the development is to become an integral part of one of Kinross-shire's main settlements, the palette chosen specifically reflects the rural setting, enhancing the natural materials and complementing the landscaped setting."
The National Curling Academy is scheduled to be operational in time for the 2010/2011 season. Kinross was chosen as the location for the new National Curling Academy because of its historic links with curling. Instituted in 1668, Kinross Curling Club is believed to be the oldest curling club in the world.
It is the intention that once the new facility is established, the existing curling rink and swimming pool within the Green Hotel will be decommissioned.
The Archial Group Plc employs around 150 staff in Scotland, operating from offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness.

In addition to Archial Architects, The Archial Group Plc incorporates: Sparch (providing architectural solutions that match the energy and growth of fast-moving emerging markets in Asia); Alsop (creating challenging solutions that push the limits of conventional ideas about architecture in a provocative and colourful style); Archial Services (with a portfolio of specialist services in Planning and Sustainable Futures, a dedicated team of category experts deliver creative solutions to add value to all architectural projects) and Archial Special Projects (operating worldwide, this is a vehicle for collaborative commissions that draw upon the strength of the Archial Group, combined with the skills and expertise of other external consultants.
The Archial Group Plc has created a philosophy it calls Intelligent Architectural Design which incorporates the five dimensions required to achieve the optimum design solution: creative integrity; economic performance; environmental responsibility; social contribution and personal experience.

Elvis Presley: How Lisa Marie's name was chosen and what she'd have been called if a boy | Music | Entertainment
During his short 42 years, Elvis Presley married only once, to Priscilla Presley. Nine months to the day after their wedding night, The King's only child Lisa Marie Presley was born on February 1, 1968. After their divorce in 1973, she would spend much of her school term time in Los Angeles with her mother.
Lisa Marie would then enjoy her holidays at Graceland with Elvis. The King would sleep all day and be up all night, so his daughter had free roam of the mansion with her gang of Memphis Mafia kid pals.
In interviews, the 54-year-old has described being a real "terror" during her first decade, taking advance of how unstrict her daddy was.
In the private upstairs area of the mansion, Elvis' bedroom was right down the corridor from Lisa Marie's room. The father and daughter would sit together there and watch TV together.
Tragically, Lisa Marie was just nine-years-old when Elvis suddenly died of a heart attack at just 42 on August 16, 1977.
Over the years, fans have wondered the reason The King decided on his daughter's name.
During a previous fan Q&A on Facebook, Priscilla shared: "I bought a book of baby names for Elvis and I to choose from. We would lay in bed night after night looking through all the names that would sound good together.We decided that Lisa Marie was beautiful for a girl…She wasn't named after anyone."

Elvis left Graceland and all its contents to Lisa Marie in his will. His father Vernon was one of the executors of his son's estate, which was held in trust until his granddaughter was of age.
He named Priscilla to be his successor, which she became upon his death just two years late. Due to the price of running Graceland, Priscilla had the mansion opened to the public as a museum in 1982 to avoid having to sell it, which it is to this day.

Why you need to improve your training data, and how to do it – Academic papers are almost entirely focused on new and improved models, with datasets usually chosen from a small set of public archives, but is it really an efficient way to build ML system?
Leaked Emails Show Google Expected Lucrative Military Drone AI Work to Grow Exponentially – in March that Google had secretly signed an agreement with the Pentagon to provide cutting edge artificial intelligence technology for drone warfare, the company faced an internal revolt. About a dozen Google employees have resigned in protest and thousands have signed a petition calling for an end to the contract. The endeavor, code-named Project Maven by the military, is designed to help drone operators recognize images captured on the battlefield.

The demand for translation jobs is literally skyrocketing. According to a prediction by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, during the period 2012-2022, jobs in the the translation industry are expected to grow at the rate of 46 percent. This figure is even more exceptional when compared with the average growth rate of careers in other industries, which stands at a timid 11 percent.
Though machine translation made its entry way back in the 1950s, it was not until early 2000s that it began finding acceptance.
Now, before dwelling upon the topic at hand, let us put forward a caveat. The quality of software translation is still no match when compared to the translation done by humans.
No amount of AI (artificial intelligence), up until now, has managed to reach a level where it could replace human translation. Besides, given the complexities involved in translation (like context, tone, sarcasm, idioms etc.), it seems like software will not be able to make human translators redundant in the near future.
However, as the translation industry is burgeoning, the challenges associated with such fast-paced growth are becoming more evident. Relying solely on human translations may have an impact on your competitiveness.
Here are 4 major limitations of human translation that you should take into consideration, and a few tips that can help you cut corners when needed.
On an average, it is estimated that a human translator can translate 200-250 words in an hour. This corresponds to 1000-1500 words per day, considering breaks, checks etc. If your document is made up of 10,000 words or more, it would easily take 10 working days to be translated. Compare this with a software, which will literally do the job in a few seconds.
Though the quality would naturally be different, time to market is a very important factor to consider. You may act creatively and use machine translation temporarily as a patch until humans complete the translation work. Or you may use machine translation as a base and only do proofreading to correct mistakes and improve the overall quality of the content to make the process quicker.
A freelance translator roughly makes around $45,000 a year. However, a highly skilled one does not have a cap over their earnings. This reality makes translation a costly affair.
Cost consciousness is a crucial common denominator for all businesses, and using human translators often causes one to go beyond the stipulated budget. This situation can be remedied by identifying a few key pages that are worth spending money on, and having them translated by humans, while using machine translation for the rest.
Outsourcing anything carries the risk of your secrets getting leaked. The same holds true when you hand over a job to human translators. However, while contracting out an agency or hiring a freelancer, you can at least make sure that they are reputable and trustworthy. Besides, we strongly recommend taking care of legal documents like non-disclosure agreements etc. to be on the safer side. In addition to this, it is usually better not to hire translators who are working for your competitors.
Finding a good translator has its own challenges. Apart from being proficient in both languages (source and target), a translator should have some knowledge of the subject of translation as well. Besides, a freelancer should fit into a budget and must have the bandwidth to deliver the assigned work timely. It's a lot of requirements, and this makes the process cumbersome.
Often, large Language Service Providers (LSPs) assign a different translator every time, which eliminates the necessary continuity that allows the translator to learn about your needs and content (terminology, style, tone etc.) and improve his translation over time.
If you have the right translator, make sure you find a way to continue working with them, or else you will end up wasting a lot time recruiting new ones.
To sum it up, human translation does have limitations; yet, quality wise, it is the best. Though pure machine translations can never be an alternative, by being creative you can overcome the limitations of human translation and at the same time, turn this technology in your favor.
