Stack Overflow: Still Overflowing …
Posted on December 28, 2015 by Jonathan H. Liu • 1 Comment
I've been writing Stack Overflow columns for a few years now, mostly when I was falling behind on book reviews and felt that I had a set of books that would work well together thematically. At the beginning of this year, I decided to make a concerted effort to make Stack Overflow a regular column, once per week. The idea was to make it an expected part of the GeekDad week, but also that it would help reduce the number of books I have literally overflowing my shelves.
Well, the experiment has halfway succeeded. Once I got going (near the end of January), there has been a Stack Overflow column every week this year, usually on Monday. I've had a few of my fellow GeekDads step in from time to time, and there were even a few weeks where we had multiple Stack Overflows in a single week. I've really enjoyed having it become a regular column.
As far as reducing my overflow, though, I'd say it's a resounding failure.
I'd buy more shelves, but we've run out of wall space for them. Photo: Jonathan H. Liu
What I didn't take into account is that the more books I write about, the faster new books arrive. I guess publishers are keen to get their books into the hands of somebody who is actively reviewing things, but the review copies are far outpacing my capacity to read and review them (or even store them, as you can see from the photos). I know, it's a great problem to have–books showing up in the mail on a daily basis. But I'm seriously overwhelmed, too. I know there are a whole lot of books out there that I haven't gotten to yet–not because they're not fantastic, but because they're buried underneath other books in the den.
So, if you're following along with Stack Overflow, thanks! I'm glad to have you along for the ride, and I hope you've gotten to enjoy some of the books we've shared with you over the years. We'll continue telling you about the books we've been reading in the new year!
And if you're one of the publicists who has sent me review copies, thank you! I love reading and I can't wait to get to them. And I'm sorry if I haven't reviewed everything you sent, or I reviewed it a long time after it was published.
For now, the last Stack Overflow of 2015, I'm clearing off the rest of my review shelf. Here's a grab bag of comics, fiction, kids' books, and a few odds and ends. (The big boxes of picture books will have to wait for 2016.)
A Darkling Sea by James L. Cambias (adult science fiction)
In this sci-fi book, humans have already made contact with an alien race, the Sholen, with whom they have a tense understanding. The humans are exploring Ilmatar, a sea-covered planet populated by an underwater alien race–but the Sholen want to keep Ilmatar free from human influence. However, when media personality Henri Kerlerec gets himself killed by some curious Ilmatarans, things come to a head.
What I really liked about A Darkling Sea is the way the Ilmatarans are so different from typical fictional aliens. They're a bit like giant lobsters, blind and relying on sonar and shell-tapping to communicate. The Sholen are sort of big bug-like creatures who use sex like conversation, but they're ultimately not as fascinating as the Ilmatarans.
The book (Cambias' first novel) ends with a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm curious whether Cambias has more stories planned for this universe. I'd definitely want to see what happens next.
Supervillains Anonymous by Lexie Dunne (adult fiction)
The first book in this series, Superheroes Anonymous, introduced us to Gail Godwin, aka "Hostage Girl" for the number of times she was kidnapped by supervillains and then rescued by Blaze. I wrote about it in a previous Stack Overflow column. In the second book, Gail finds herself thrown into the world of supervillains. She's been implicated in the death of a superhero and is put into Davenport Industries' supervillain prison–along with many of the bad guys who'd kidnapped her in the past.
There's also a conspiracy in the superhero world, something big. The questions are: how will Gail survive (or escape) prison, and can she get to the bottom of this plot before it's too late? Well, okay, it's no spoiler to say that she survives … but how it happens is still a very fun ride. This book also ends on a cliffhanger, so expect more to come.
The Affinities by Robert Charles Wilson (adult fiction)
The Affinities is a book that really fascinated me when I first read it this summer, and the only reason I haven't written it up already was because I'm still thinking about it and processing it. It's speculative fiction somewhat based on social media, though that's simplifying it too much. Social media helps us connect to people who are like us in some way–they share affinities. In this book, there's a process that uses genetics, brain-mapping, and behavioral analytics to see if you match one of twenty-two Affinities.
The Affinities are more than just shared interest groups, and they aren't built around geography or age or occupations. Rather, these are people that you just click with, people you trust instinctively, the ones that are easiest to cooperate with. When Adam Fisk joins the Tau Affinity, he finally feels at home, and quickly receives many side benefits from his fellow Taus: a place to stay, a job offer, and more.
Robert Charles Wilson paints a picture of what the world could be like if there were global communities of people who are interested primarily in helping each other. They gain influence rapidly and avoid interacting with other Affinities. And not everyone matches one of the groups, so the NOTAs (None of the Above) try to fight the growth of the Affinities as well. Eventually, it's all-out war.
While I don't think there will be anything as effective as the Affinities in the real world for quite some time, I do think that there are bits of Wilson's speculative future that are already true now. Social media makes it so easy to surround ourselves with people who are like us and to completely block out those who aren't. That makes it hard to put ourselves in somebody else's shoes, or to empathize with opinions that don't match our own. Obviously our politics have become more and more polarized, yet people on both sides assume that they're the norm and the other is the extreme.
The writing wasn't always great–in particular, Adam Fisk isn't a very sympathetic character and I personally felt like he was a bit of a jerk. But the overall premise captivated me and still has me thinking about how I interact with other people–and which people I choose to interact with.
Containment by Christian Cantrell (adult science fiction)
This one's a re-read–I wrote a full review of Containment a few years ago, but when I got a review copy of the follow-up, Equinox, I realized that I had forgotten a lot of the details. (That's what I get for writing spoiler-free reviews, I suppose.) So I read it again. The info-dumps are still a bit heavy-handed, but I did enjoy the premise, the first human colony on Venus. I've just started Equinox and it's a hefty book, so expect that to pop up in a Stack Overflow sometime in 2016.
Young Sherlock Holmes: Snake Bite and Knife Edge by Andrew Lane (young adult fiction)
I wrote about the first four books in the Young Sherlock Holmes series a few years ago, and then shortly after received copies of the final two books. I'll confess: it's been a while since I read these (I was going to review them with some other Sherlock books, which then got postponed, and then…) so I don't remember them as clearly. However, Snake Bite finds Sherlock in China–abducted, actually–where he solves another mystery about three men killed by the same poisonous snake. Andrew Lane used this series to fill in Sherlock's backstory based on what we know of him in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, giving Sherlock opportunities to learn things like martial arts, boxing, and the violin.
Knife Edge finds him returning to Europe, this time to Galway, Ireland. His brother Mycroft is investigating a psychic who claims to communicate with dead spies, and Sherlock is enlisted to see whether he's a risk to government secrets. Doyle himself became fascinated with spiritualism near the end of his life, and this story depicts some of the tricks used by mediums of his time. Sherlock himself remains skeptical, as you would expect.
If you can't get enough of Sherlock Holmes, you may enjoy this series as much as I did. They're written for young adults so they're fairly heavy on the action, but it's fun to see this well-known character as he's still learning the ropes and becoming the Sherlock that you know and love.
Book: My Autobiography by John Agard, illustrated by Neil Packer (kids non-fiction)
I like books about books, and this one definitely falls into that category. It's the story of reading and writing–on tablets, scrolls, in codex form, and even electronic books–as told by the Book itself. It's written for middle grade readers, so it's somewhat brief, but it hits a lot of highlights in the history of the book. It's also a nice-looking book itself: a slim hardcover with a red ribbon bookmark, and sprinkled with illustrations and quotations about books throughout.
The History of Money: From Bartering to Banking by Martin Jenkins, illustrated by Satoshi Kitamura (kids non-fiction)
I really liked this book, which explains why money was invented and the different forms it can take. It's a large thin hardcover so it looks like a picture book, though there's a lot more text in it. It explains bartering, counting, interest, coinage, and how money is one of the reasons we started writing. The illustrations by Kitamura are excellent and funny–lots of little cartoons that illuminate the text. I read this one out loud together with my kids, and it was a fun way to learn a bit about economics, disguised as a bedtime story.
War Plan Red: The United States' Secret Plan to Invade Canada and Canada's Secret Plan to Invade the United States by Kevin Lippert (non-fiction)
Our friendly neighbors to the north haven't always been friendly neighbors. This book describes various skirmishes that have occurred between the United States and Canada, culminating in each country's grand plan to invade the other. It's an amusing account filled with obscure battles, like the Pork and Beans War, which ended without a shot and is the only war between an American state (Maine) and a foreign nation. In fact, there seem to be many of these conflicts that ended without shots being fired, though in some instances some American soldiers surrendered.
The book is entertaining and enlightening, but pretty short–only about 150 pages, half of which is appendices reproducing "War Plan Red" and excerpts of "Defense Scheme No. 1," the two invasion plans.
Lies, Knives, and Girls in Red Dresses by Ron Koertge, illustrated by Andrea Dezsö (older kids book)
This book retells many familiar fairy tales in verse, sometimes with a modern twist. The little match girl sells CDs to stoners. Hansel and Gretel are more than just brother and sister. These aren't fairy tales for little kids–there's a little bit of strong language and a lot of innuendo, probably more like the originals than the Disneyfied versions we're accustomed to. The cut-paper art by Dezsö is striking and fits these dark tales for a chilly night.
The Motherless Oven by Rob Davis (young adult comics)
Last week I mentioned a few surreal comics for adults. This one's okay for teens but still very surreal. In this world, mothers and fathers are odd machines built by the human kids. It rains knives. People don't know their birthdays–instead they know their deathdays, and Scarper Lee knows his time is almost up. That's when Vera Pike shows up at his school. She's fearless and forward and nobody can quite figure her out. And then there's Castro, a boy with Inference Syndrome who knows how to fix things but seems to hear and see things that aren't there.
When Scarper's dad (who's normally chained up in the shed) goes missing, the three of them go searching. It's a really bizarre story that I'm completely failing to summarize, but despite all the weirdness it's a serious story, a bit unnerving, and the artwork is fantastic.
Strange Attractors by Charles Soule & Greg Scott (adult comics)
This title, unfortunately, appears to be out of print, but there are used copies available. It reminds me a little bit of the movie Pi, in which a mathematician is looking for patterns in the world, using number theory to understand and predict real-world events. In the movie, Max Cohen snaps and goes mad.
At the beginning of Strange Attractors, a university TA goes mad and throws himself out a window. And then we cut to Heller Wilson, a math student working on his thesis, who feels like he's on the verge of something big. He tracks down Dr. Spencer Brownfield, a brilliant ex-professor who left Columbia in disgrace, spouting off wild theories about controlling reality with mathematics. He uses the Butterfly Effect, small actions that result in large changes, to fix and repair New York City, keeping things on track … or so he says. Brownfield tells Heller that something big is on the horizon, and that he needs somebody to take his place when he's gone. But Heller still feels that this is just a bit insane.
I really loved the visualizations in this book–Brownfield has notebooks with maps and diagrams, and Heller uses computer visualizations, and there are paths overlaid on the images of the world, reminiscent of how John Forbes Nash looked at things in A Beautiful Mind.
Faster Than a Speeding Bullet: The Rise of the Graphic Novel by Stephen Weiner (non-fiction)
This history of the graphic novel is a nice introduction for people who still think that comics are just for kids (yes, there are still people like that) and also serves as a source of significant comics to read. While not as entertaining as Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, it's a solid academic approach to the subject, with sample images from a wide variety of comics genres. This is the book to give to your friend who doesn't get why comics are a big deal to you.
Bird and Squirrel on the Edge! by James Burks (kid comics)
Bird and Squirrel are back–they're headed home on the way through some forests and past mountains. But when Bird gets conked on the head, he comes to without his memory, and a fear of pretty much everything. So it's up to Squirrel (the scaredy cat) to lead the way, along with a young bear who's decided to follow them. Of course, there's that pack of wolves on their trail, and Bird has inconveniently forgotten how to fly… The Bird and Squirrel books are quite silly, but fun, and my kids love them.
Benny Breakiron in The Red Taxis by Peyo (kid comics)
Peyo's best-known creation was the Smurfs, but he also had another very funny comics character: Benny Breakiron. Benny is a little kid who is incredibly strong–he can leap long distances and smashes things accidentally, though he loses his powers when he's sick. In this first story, the Red Taxis company is edging out the old cabs, including Benny's friend Monsieur Dussiflard. When Dussiflard finds his old cab smashed up, he decides to confront the Red Taxis president.
Benny follows along, and discovers that the Red Taxis are really a front for a criminal organization and they've got something dastardly planned … but what is it? Will he be able to stop them, or will he be crippled by a common cold?
There's a lot of very silly slapstick humor, plus the ongoing joke that when Benny finally reveals his secret of strength to Monsieur Dussiflard, he has a cold and can't do a thing, so Dussiflard just writes it off as an overactive imagination. There are several more Benny Breakiron books that have been published by Papercutz since this one, though I don't have any of the others yet.
Lowriders in Space by Cathy Camper, illustrated by Raúl the Third (kid comics)
I honestly don't know much about lowriders or the culture that surrounds them, but this comic book celebrates the artistry and inventiveness that goes into modifying and customizing cars … in space! Lupe Impala is the best mechanic around. Flapjack Octopus is a whiz at washing cars. Elirio Malaria (a mosquito) is an expert at detailing, using his beak as a pinstriping brush. Together, they work at a car dealership during the week, but they dream of having their own garage. When they hear about the Universal Car Competition, they strive to turn an old junker into a winner, low and slow.
Most of the book is just about the trio tricking out their vehicle (with the help of some outer space travel). The book has Spanish sprinkled throughout (with translations in footnotes), and has fun with some over-the-top detailing. The illustrations are done in red, blue, and black ballpoint pen and the paper is parchment-colored, echoing Raúl's childhood artwork on paper bags.
The Story of Diva and Flea by Mo Willems, illustrations by Tony DiTerlizzi (kid book)
Diva is a small dog who lives at 11 avenue Le Play in Paris, and she has never set foot outside of the courtyard of her grand apartment building. Flea is a cat and a flâneur: somebody who wanders the streets and alleys just to see what there is to see. When Flea wanders past Diva's courtyard one day, the two (eventually) become friends, and each helps to widen the other's horizons.
The story was inspired by Mo Willems' own time living in Paris, and it has something of the flavor of The Lady and the Tramp in it, although it's a friendship instead of a romance. The illustrations by Tony DiTerlizzi are wonderfully paired with Willems' fun text. It's either a long picture book or a short chapter book; I read it aloud to my girls in two nights, and we all really enjoyed it.
The Best American Comics 2014 and 2015 by various artists (adult comics)
The "Best American" series, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt each year, covers a variety of genres: short stories, sports writing, sci-fi, and so on, but the comics are some of my favorites. Each year a guest editor presents a selection of the best comics published in North America in the previous year (from September to August). The selections are wide and varied, and it's a great way to get a small taste of the range of awesome things being created in the comics medium.
The 2014 edition, edited by Scott McCloud, isn't your usual anthology. He says at the beginning that this volume is meant to be read, not browsed. That is, unlike some collections which can be picked up and read in any order, this one has been meticulously planned, with the excerpts intended to appear in this particular order. McCloud introduces each section with a small essay.
2015 marks some significant anniversaries. It's the 100th anniversary of the Best American series (which began with short stories), and the 10th anniversary of Best American Comics. This volume, edited by Jonathan Lethem, tries to steer the reader toward some of the comics that are a bit further from the mainstream, the ones that you may have missed. There's some more experimental stuff, things that blur the line between traditional fine arts and traditional comics.
Well, we made it!
Here's my "read but not yet reviewed" shelf now:
Now I can use this for some of our fiction that's been stacking up… Photo: Jonathan H. Liu
(The Glorkian Warrior book you see there isn't out until March, so I figured I'd save it for now.) I still have a couple boxes of picture books that have been read but not yet reviewed, but those will have to wait for the new year. Since I have a toddler, we go through picture books at an alarming rate.
Here's looking forward to another great year of reading!
Disclosure: I received review copies of the books in this column.

Cagliari's victory in the 1969-70 National football championship represents a turning point in the history of Italian sport "par excellence". For the first time, a "provincial" and Southern team broke the hegemony of the big and powerful teams from the North. The essay highlights this sporting success in the context of an Italy in the midst of major transformations, between incipient economic crisis, political and social contestation, and the strategy of tension. In addition to the impact of the phenomenon, in particular through the reactions of the press, the analysis explores its implications in two other directions: on the one hand, the repercussions that the sporting triumph had on the socio-economic life of Sardinia as well as on the island's image in Italy; on the other, the extraordinary popularity of Gigi Riva, a football icon of those years, which also allows us to reflect on the evolution of the sports celebrity in a media and social system that would soon experience profound discontinuities with the past.

Nine people attended this meeting at A. T.'s house. Our topic was Bad Prince Charlie, the latest romantic comedy fantasy by Houston-based FACT member John Moore. The story involves the prince of a small impoverished country deliberately trying to do a bad job of ruling, so that his country is absorbed by a wealthier empire. His plan is complicated by his father's ghost, noble ladies, a wizard, and a priestess. All of us had read Moore before, and all had finished the book.
Nine people assembled at Charles and Willie's home to discuss this recently-reissued classic. Also, one person submitted comments by email and another participated via telephone. Mindswap depicts a future where humans and aliens can explore each other's worlds by swapping minds between bodies. The story follows a man whose extraterrestrial vacation goes terribly wrong, forcing him to undergo a series of mindswaps with strange aliens in strange environments. Most of us had read Sheckley before, and all had finished this book.


Frequently Asked Questions about Investment Analyzers and Stock Market Predictor.
The more methods and information are taken into consideration, the more precise an investment-related solution and, consequently, the more profitable is investing. There is Expert Method. This method can be explained by following. As example, an experimentalist shows a pen and asks about 40 people to write down their estimate of the length. Then he collects notes and calculates the average number – normally it is almost 100% accurate. Why it works? Everyone makes errors in different directions so that averaging gives a precise result.
There is a webpage where you are invited to build a collective forecast. Please share your opinion by voting and see the result of composite forecast. If you use more than one method, approach, or tool for prediction, it could be reasonable to give a vote for each one. All participants may benefit from building a simple average forecast. However, do not put too much trust in any method alone – make your own conclusion.
The stock market can be presented by S&P-500 index. It is possible to build its different statistical forecasts using historical data. The purpose of the research was to compare two statistical methods: one that based on Cycle Analysis, another – on Neural Network. We used price and volume data to train this particular Neural Network.
A picture below shows how actual 5-day performance (yellow line) differ from predicted performances by these two methods. The top half is the comparison of Neural Network prediction, bottom half – Cycle Analysis. Green bars mean buy signals, red – sell.
Cycle Analysis prediction gives signals too early, Neural Network prediction – too late.
In average, Cycle Analysis prediction showed slightly better accuracy than Neural Network prediction for the last six months (from June 2009 to January 2010).
It it possible to get a superior prediction by combining these two methods.
Knowledge is power; and unlike other resources, it does not diminish when it is shared but multiplies. Expected performance of a stock depends on quality of the company, market evaluation of its stock, and macroeconomic environment. Also general market conditions and news are significant contributing factors in stocks performance. That is why, a good investing decision should be based on a multi-dimensional consideration of many criteria. Consequently, one of the optimal solutions is to use fundamental, technical, and timing analyses together …read article "How to Become a Successful Investor"


This apps provides Longest Rail Tunnels In the World.
The 50.5km long Channel tunnel, located on the English Channel in the UK and France borders, is the longest undersea rail tunnel in the world. It connects Folkestone in Kent, UK, to Coquelles in Pas de Calais, France. The tunnel was opened for operations in 1994 after nearly six years of construction and cost $14.7bn. It recently won the Global Engineering Century Award by the international federation of civil engineering consultants, FIDIC.The two terminals are linked by three tunnels, including a 9.3km underground tunnel in UK, 38km undersea tunnel and 3.2km underground tunnel in France. In addition there is a service tunnel which allows access to maintenance and emergency rescue teams. The three rail tunnels have a diameter of 7.6m, whereas the service tunnel has a diameter of 4.8m. A total of 11 tunnel boring machines (TBM) dug the tunnel, which runs 40m below the English Channel.The UKs first high speed railway line High Speed 1 links central London with Europes rail network through the Channel tunnel. Eurotunnel (ET), a joint bi national company formed by Channel Tunnel Group (UK) and France Manche (France), owns and operates the tunnel.
Lotschberg Base Tunnel, built through the Alps in Switzerland, is the third longest railway tunnel in the world. The 34.6km long tunnel allows passenger and freight trains operated by BLS on the Lotschberg line. The tunnel includes a non ballasted track on which trains run at 250kmph.The tunnel construction began in April 2005 and was completed in 2006. It was opened for full scale operations in December 2007. Around 20% of the tunnel was constructed by using tunnel boring machines, and the rest through conventional blasting techniques. Excavated material in the tunnel amounted to 16 million tonnes.The tunnel was designed with twin single track tubes, but it was only half finished as only one of the tubes was fully equipped, while the second tube was left largely as a shell. The two tubes are interconnected by transverse tunnels at 333m intervals.
Guadarrama is the longest twin tube rail tunnel in Spain and fourth longest in the world. The 28.4km tunnel is dug through Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range for the high speed railway between Madrid and Valladolid. The two parallel tunnels are 30m apart, measured from their central axes. The tunnel was constructed between 2002 and 2007 using TBMs built by Herrenknecht and Wirth. Spanish state owned company Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias (ADIF) sponsored the project. FCC Construction built the northern part of the tunnel.The interior diameter of the tunnel is 8.5m, whereas the excavation diameter is 9.45m. Interconnection passages located every 250m connect the two tunnels. An emergency room located in the middle of tunnel accommodates up to 1,200 people.
Taihang Tunnel, located in Taihang Mountains in China, is the fifth longest railway tunnel in the world. The 27.8km long twin tube tunnel was built as part of Shijiazhuang Taiyuan railway project to cross the Taihang Mountains. Construction of the tunnel was completed in December 2007. The tunnel passes through Yue Xiao, the main ridge of Taihang Mountains, with a maximum cover of 445m. The left track has a length of 27,839m, while the right track is 27,848m long. The distance between the two tubes is 35m. The tunnel was designed by Poyry.
Hakkoda tunnel, with a length of 26.45km, is the longest land based double track railway tunnel in Japan, and sixth longest in the world. It is located in the northern end of Hakkoda Mountain between Tenmabayashi mura and Aomori City in Aomori Prefecture in Japan.The tunnel is part of the Tohoku Shinkansen railway and was sponsored by Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency (JRTT). It was built as part of the extension of Tohoku Shinkansen from Hachinohe to Shin Aomori.Tunnel construction began in August 1998 and was completed in February 2005 using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM). Kajima joint venture built the Otsubo section of the tunnel.
The 22km Daishimizu tunnel is the eighth longest rail tunnel in the world. It is located on the Joetsu Shinkansen line in Japan. It reduced the travel time between Niigata and Tokyo to about one hour and forty minutes.Drill and blast excavation methods were used to build the tunnel through the Mikuni mountain range. The steep geography of the location called for the division of construction into six sections by means of access shafts. Evacuation points were created at less than 10km intervals.Natural water was found during the construction of the tunnel. A fire accident also occurred during the tunnels construction, resulting in the death of 16 workers.
Wushaoling tunnel, the ninth longest rail tunnel in the world, has an overall length of 21.05km. It is located at Gansu province in China and was constructed as part of the Lanxin (Lanzhou Xinjiang) high speed railway line.Tunnel construction began in November 2002. It was built using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method in a geologically challenging fault zone. Lingyuan Iron supplied 4,360t of steel for the tunnels construction.The tunnel includes two bores separated by 40m. It was bored to a maximum depth of 1,100m. It is designed for a maximum speed of 160km/h.
The 20.3km long Geumjeong tunnel is the tenth longest rail tunnel in the world. It is part of the Seoul Busan high speed rail line. The tunnel, bored through the Geumjeong Mountain, connects Nopo district with Busanjin station in Busan.Geumjeong is also South Koreas longest rail tunnel. It is located more than 300m below ground. It has a width of 14m and height of 12m. Korea Rail Network Authority owns the tunnel.Construction of the tunnel was carried out in three sections that were fully completed in 2009. The first two sections were opened in 2008. The last section connecting Nopo dong and Hwamyeong dong was completed in February 2009.

Dennis Ritchie, Father of C and Co-Developer of Unix, Dies
October 13, 2016 October 15, 2016 Nitesh Shah 0 Comments
Linus Torvalds once said, in reference to the development of Linux, that he "had hoisted [himself] up on the shoulders of giants." Among those giants, Dennis Ritchie (aka dmr) was likely the tallest. Ritchie, the creator of the C programming language and co-developer of the Unix operating system passed away on October 8 at the age of 70, leaving a legacy that casts a very long shadow.
I got my start with technology because of Ritchie's work on the Unix GENIE time-share system. It made it possible for my high school to time-share the PDP-11 at SUNY-Stony Brook—the same model computer that Dennis Ritchie, Kenneth Thompson and their team used to create Unix—and for me to write my first lines of code on a DECwriter II TTY terminal.
But Ritchie's C is even more important, in many ways, than Unix. It is the fundamental building block upon which much of what we consider to be the modern world was built.
Ritchie didn't invent the curly-bracket syntax—that came from Martin Richards' BCPL. But the C programming language, which he called "quirky, flawed, and an enormous success," is the basis of nearly every programming and scripting tool, whether they use elements of C's syntax or not. Java, JavaScript, Objective C and Cocoa, Python, Perl, and PHP would not exist without dmr's C. Every bit of software that makes it possible for you to read this page has a trace of dmr's DNA in it.
By creating C, Ritchie gave birth to the concept of open systems. C was developed so they could port Unix to any computer, and so that programs written on one platform (and the skills used to develop them) could be easily transferred to another.
In that way, Ritchie has shaped our world in much more fundamental ways than Steve Jobs or Bill Gates have. What sets him apart from them is that he did it all not in a quest for wealth or fame, but just out of intellectual curiosity. Unix and C were the product of pure research—research that started as a side-project using equipment bought based on a promise that Ritchie and Thompson would develop a word processor.
Imagine what the world would be like if they had just stuck to that promise. What would your life be like without C or Unix? When was the first time your life was touched by dmr's work?

Covering a time of great hope and incredible change, Reconstruction and Reform is a dramatic look at life after the Civil War in the newly re United States. Railroad tycoons were roaring across the country. New cities sprang up across the plains, and a new and different American West came into being: a land of farmers, ranchers, miners, and city dwellers. Back East, large scale immigration was also going on, but not all Americans wanted newcomers in the country. Technology moved forward: Thomas Edison lit up the world with his electric light. And social justice was on everyone's mind with Carry Nation wielding a hatchet in her battle against drunkenness and Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois counseling newly freed African Americans to behave in very different ways. Through it all, the reunited nation struggles to keep the promises of freedom in this exciting chapter in the A History of US.

Here is our release on Print on Demand – a technology allowing Christians to print in hostile lands.
(Orlando, Florida, USA)—Wycliffe Associates is providing technology and equipment to protect and effectively distribute the work of national Bible translators in countries where they face the threat of physical harm, arrest, and even death.
A compact, high-speed, digital system, called Print On Demand (POD), can be hidden in a safe location and used to quickly and efficiently print portions of the Bible, and Bible resources, from flash drives. A few or many copies then can be distributed to the local church.
"This means translators' work will be safe—safe from those who actively oppose the spread of the gospel and seek to destroy the translators' work," says Bruce Smith, president and CEO of Wycliffe Associates.
National Bible translators throughout Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Southeast Asia are working to translate God's Word for their people, millions of whom are without any Scripture in their own language. Many of the translators work in secret, risking their lives to bring the Scriptures to their people.
Once the translators' work is complete, they also face the challenge of getting the newly translated Scriptures into the hands of their churches and their own people.
"In one area of the world, seventeen million people who have never seen God's Word in their heart language are crying out to God for the chance to translate the Scriptures—not for someone to do it for them, but to do it themselves," says Smith.
Wycliffe Associates provides the technology and equipment to empower and protect national translators in dangerous areas where Christians are persecuted, arrested, and hunted down, and where the church is in hiding.
Wycliffe Associates hopes to provide Print On Demand units for 60 scheduled translation workshops this year—40 small systems and 20 full-scale systems—a total need of $420,000.
These systems involve rugged industrial printers, powerful industrial staplers, with the kind of binding that will last for decades. Wycliffe Associates wants these Bibles to last, even in harsh climates. Yet at the same time, they make use of sophisticated software, capable of juggling multiple languages and alphabets and all their unique features. Even at $15,000, a full-scale Print On Demand system is a bargain.
Of the 6,887 languages spoken in the world, there are 3,287 languages that still need a Bible translation project started. Currently there are 2,267 Bible translation projects in progress worldwide.


A conference will be held in Bolton on March 29th at the Victoria Halls, Knowlsley Street to promote an anti-bullying campaign.
The 'Im Not Laughing' campaign was launched last year by Bolton Central Neighbourhood Policing Team and could also be rolled out to other areas.
The campaign was started by SGT Paul Ellis after he received a letter from a girl who suffers from a condition that restricts her growth and she was ridiculed on a night out./ He then worked to create the campaign to educate bar staff about moral and legal responsibilities and as a result they trained dozens of the town centre pubs, clubs and bars which now show accreditation window stickers at their venues.
The conference will run from 11am-3pm and delegates will be coming from other towns and cities to find out more about the initiative.

Javakhk Leader Pledges Activism on Behalf of Community
AKHALKALAK–Georgia (A-Info)–The newly-elected president of the "People's Movement of Javakhk" assured the community that his organization must regain its previous role and become an influential organization in Javakhk and issues related to its population.
Movement president Norik Karapetian emphasized the importance of seeking autonomy for Javakhk–which he said would enable the region to make certain socio-economic decisions that would have beneficial effects for the population.
Karapetian underscored the importance of autonomy as a means for ensuring foreign investment in the region–citing current Georgian laws that do not create a healthy climate for investment–especially by Diaspora Armenia's.
The Javakhk leader said that given the organization's base as a people's movement–he hoped that through dialogue with the community–their concerns can be addressed with Georgian authorities.
Karapetian also signaled that Movement members will actively take part in upcoming regional government elections in Georgia.

Economy|The Overconfidence Problem in Forecasting
The Overconfidence Problem in Forecasting
Economic View
By RICHARD H. THALER AUG. 21, 2010
See how this article appeared when it was originally published on NYTimes.com
BUSINESSES in nearly every industry were caught off guard by the Great Recession. Few leaders in business — or government, for that matter — seem to have even considered the possibility that an economic downturn of this magnitude could happen.
What was wrong with their thinking? These decision-makers may have been betrayed by a flaw that has been documented in hundreds of studies: overconfidence.
Most of us think that we are "better than average" in most things. We are also "miscalibrated," meaning that our sense of the probability of events doesn't line up with reality. When we say we are sure about a certain fact, for example, we may well be right only half the time.
To see how it works, try this little quiz: Give two estimates of the diameter of the moon in miles — a high and a low one, so that there is about a 10 percent chance that the moon is bigger than the upper estimate and a 10 percent chance that it is smaller than the lower one. It is easy to be 100 percent sure by making your low guess zero and your high guess a trillion, so don't cheat. Write down your answers before reading further.
When faced with questions like this in experiments, people tend to give confidence bounds, or limits, that are too narrow. In other words, the correct answer is outside their limits much more than 20 percent of the time, creating too many surprises. (The answer to the moon question, by the way, is 2,160 miles. Were you surprised?)
Some economists have questioned whether such experimental findings are relevant in competitive markets. They suggest that students, who often serve as guinea pigs in such tests, are overconfident, but that the top managers in large companies are well calibrated. A recent paper, however, reveals that this hopeful view is itself overconfident.
Credit David G. Klein
In that paper, three financial economists — Itzhak Ben-David of Ohio State University and John R. Graham and Campbell R. Harvey of Duke — found that chief financial officers of major American corporations are not very good at forecasting the future. The authors' investigation used a quarterly survey of C.F.O.'s that Duke has been running since 2001. Among other things, the C.F.O.'s were asked about their expectations for the return of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index for the next year — both their best guess and their 80 percent confidence limit. This means that in the example above, there would be a 10 percent chance that the return would be higher than the upper bound, and a 10 percent chance that it would be less than the lower one.
It turns out that C.F.O.'s, as a group, display terrible calibration. The actual market return over the next year fell between their 80 percent confidence limits only a third of the time, so these executives weren't particularly good at forecasting the stock market. In fact, their predictions were negatively correlated with actual returns. For example, in the survey conducted on Feb. 26, 2009, the C.F.O.'s made their most pessimistic predictions, expecting a market return of just 2.0 percent, with a lower bound of minus 10.2 percent. In fact, the market soared 42.6 percent over the next year.
It may be neither troubling nor surprising that C.F.O.'s can't accurately predict the stock market's path. If they could, they'd be running hedge funds and making billions. What is troubling, though, is that as a group, many of these executives apparently don't realize that they lack forecasting ability. And, just as important, they don't seem to be aware of how volatile the market can be, even in "normal" times.
Another intriguing finding is that their confidence limits widen after bear markets, mostly because estimates at the lower bound become more pessimistic. This puts a new light on the recent comment by Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, that the economic outlook was "unusually uncertain." Although I instinctively share that assessment, these results suggest that it may be an illusion: Yes, things feel more uncertain after bad times, but severe market downturns tend to occur after long bull markets when we are feeling least uncertain. In the C.F.O. survey conducted in mid-2007, for example, the average lower bound was for a market return of 0.2 percent in the next year. In other words, the worst-case scenario anticipated by the group was a flat market. Of course, the market was soon to begin its plunge.
Just like C.F.O.'s, chief executives often suffer from overconfidence, which can cause them to act unwisely. For example, in a 1986 paper, the economist Richard Roll of the University of California, Los Angeles, suggested that overconfidence, or what he called hubris, could explain why companies pay large premiums to take over other businesses. These premiums seem puzzling because the acquiring companies often don't seem to profit from the takeovers. Professor Roll pointed out that the acquirers have typically done very well in the recent past, leading their C.E.O.'s to the mistaken belief that their success can be replicated in takeover targets once they are in charge of them.
PROFESSOR ROLL recently wrote another paper on this topic with three French collaborators. In this case, they investigated a particular form of hubris — narcissism — by using a simple and unobtrusive gauge that has been validated by psychologists: just count the number of times a person uses the first-person pronoun in communication. They found that the more narcissistic C.E.O.'s make more aggressive takeovers at higher prices than their more self-effacing brethren do, and that these aggressive takeovers aren't as well received by the stock market.
Two lessons emerge from these papers. First, we shouldn't expect that the competition to become a top manager will weed out overconfidence. In fact, the competition may tend to select overconfident people. One route to the corner office is to combine overconfidence with luck, which can be hard to distinguish from skill. C.E.O.'s who make it to the top this way will often stumble when their luck runs out.
The second lesson comes from Mark Twain: "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

DAY BY DAY WITH BROTHER FRANK HAGERTY
St. Ignatius of Loyola was canonized in March of 1622. He lived his life in the 1500s first as a carousing gambler and then eventually as a seeker of the Lord. He, day by day, chose "what better leads to the deepening of God's life" in his own daily round. And he left us with many beloved prayers and reflections to savor. The way he chose to live his life gives many of us great comfort as we stumble through our own ups and downs.
Brother Frank Hagerty, S.S.E. reflected on St. Ignatius of Loyola and the Ascension of Jesus: Bringing About the Kingdom of God at Saint Anne's Shrine on July 31. This was part of a summertime series that takes place in the Boucher Building each Wednesday.
"He's been a buddy of mine," Brother Frank said of St. Ignatius. With a little guitar playing and singing in-between a synopsis of the Saint's life, Brother Frank educated a group of about 25 on not only the history, but the trail of uplifting glory that still bubbles within so many who strive to walk with this Patron Saint of Spiritual Retreats. How appropriate to be speaking of him at Saint Anne's Shrine!
Without going into too much detail, it was when St. Ignatius was injured badly and bedridden that he was given three books to read. They were the Bible, The Imitation of Christ, and Lives of the Saints. Brother Frank said repetitive reading became a tool to let God lead him. "He became a genius at knowing what was going on inside himself," Brother Frank said.
Through consolation and desolation, St. Ignatius was able to discern God's will, step by step, within each day. "He found God didn't want him to hurt himself," Brother Frank said. "He wanted him to be whole and be himself. This is a good lesson for us as well."
If utilized correctly, our emotions, imagination, humility, and prayers can also be valuable tools for living a blessed life. "If we get wrapped up in the pride of our own gifts, talents, and abilities, we lose God," Brother Frank said. "St. Ignatius became so good at holding himself in balance. He sets a good example to follow—to let God be in control."
The test is to ask ourselves at any given moment, "Whose flag am I holding right now? Christ the King's flag or Satan's?" And then to remember we are being called to humility. Jesus has an ongoing invitation for us to be his partner and to carry on his saving action. We are invited to care for each other, care for the environment, and care for the world around us, Brother Frank said.
This is a prayer that St. Ignatius recited every day, "Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits thou hast given me, for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me. O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother, may I know thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, day by day." This was written by Saint Richard of Chichester who was a student at Oxford, taught by our one and only Saint Edmund of Canterbury.
Ultimately we understand through our own contemplation, and with help from Mother Mary and all of the Saints, that it's all God's Grace in action. "We are chosen for the Kingdom of Heaven," Brother Frank said, "It is an invitation and our journey is to see this as a gift and to work at being a part of that every day."

As Arlo pointed out on the tor-dev mailing list, the exit-addresses script running on check.torproject.org doesn't include IPv6 exit addresses, making anything that relies upon the list unreliable. BridgeDB's scripts/get-tor-exits downloads the output of exit-addresses, and uses it to treat clients using Tor to request bridges as coming from the same address. Not taking IPv6 addresses into account will allow an adversary to use IPv6-capable tor exits to get additional bridges during a time period.
Some new script should be written to generate a list of IPv6 (optionally also IPv4 addresses, so that everything is in one document) exit addresses to fix this issue.

Navy's 2017 season opener looked like a mismatch just nine months ago.
Florida Atlantic University closed out the 2016 season with a wild 77-56 loss to Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 26. The Owls finished with a 3-9 record for the third straight season.
One day later, athletic director Pat Chun fired head coach Charlie Partridge, who compiled a 9-27 record in three seasons at the helm.

Last week I spoke to two groups of naturopathic medical students about marketing their practices after graduation. As expected, there was some resistance to the concept of marketing themselves as an expert when just out of school. This is a normal and appropriate concern.
And it's not just my ND clients who have trouble with this claim. My counselor clients also feel inhibited about calling themselves a specialist. Naturopathic doctors and psychotherapists alike are trained to be generalists, and marketing as a specialist rubs uncomfortably against that.
Plus, let's face it, a lot of us in the healing arts are recovering from poor self-esteem and low confidence. It stretches our own belief in ourselves to say out loud that we have expertise in anything. If I could give us all a pill for that, the magic med would erase all the early life programming we've experienced that damaged our self-concept as relates to the joyful quality we naturally have in childhood when we KNOW we can do anything.
But I digress. One way around this marketing need to project expertise, while still staying in integrity with the truth, is a very simple language shift. In the examples here, do you spot the difference?
I'm an expert anxiety counselor. Or, My expertise is in eliminating anxiety and depression.
I specialize in helping women with anxiety gain confidence and freedom from debilitating worry.
In the first example, the claim implies a high level of experience, extra rigorous training, or something beyond the average accumulation of education and years in business. (It also is rather egocentric, and just begs to be proven with statistics or some other quantifiable method).
The second example defines a narrow scope of interest and merely says this is where I put most of my attention -- it's what I like doing best. The focus remains on the client type, their problem, and the result they want, rather than staking a claim about myself. It directly states that my role is facilitation of the client's work.
The second example is much different in that it doesn't claim to know everything about anything. It simply states what is true from day one after graduation -- I'm a helper.
If you are graduating this spring as an ND or a therapist and you can't say you're a helper -- well, why did you choose this profession?

Q: Changing renamed global variables from inside a function (python) I'm making a basic version of pokemon, and I have a  function that looks like this:
global userhp, comphp
userhp = 100
comphp = 100

def doturn(attacker, enemy, move, attackerhp, enemyhp):
from random import randint
if move == 1:
    dmg = randint(18, 25)
    enemyhp -= dmg
    print("\t" + attacker, "have done", str(dmg), "damage")
    print("\t" + enemy, "now have", enemyhp, "health\n")
if move == 2:
    dmg = randint(8, 35)
    enemyhp -= dmg
    print("\t" + attacker, "have done", str(dmg), "damage")
    print("\t" + enemy, "now have", enemyhp, "health\n")
if move == 3:
    dmg = randint(15, 22)
    attackerhp += dmg
    print("\t" + attacker, "have healed", str(dmg), "health")
    print("\t" + attacker, "now have", attackerhp, "health\n")

Here is an example call:
doturn(user, comp, 3, userhp, comphp)

The problem I'm having is that changing attackerhp and enemyhp doesn't affect userhp and comphp. It stays at 100, and the game is unable to progress. I need a way of changing the global variables, but also doing it without hard-coding the variables into the function, because that way it would only work for the user or the computer.
I've been able to solve it, but my solution was to return the damage value and applying that to userhp and comphp outside this function. I could write separate functions for user and comp, or have an if statement check who's turn it is and do it that way, but I'd quite like to keep this compact. Any feedback would be appreciated.

A: So you don't need to put the global statement in the first line. You only need that inside any function where you change the variable.
My understanding is that your issue is that the user or the computer could be either the attacker or the defender? Have I got this right?
In this case, why not make an object for attacker and defender, which stores their name and hp. That way, you can update attacker.hp and defender.hp inside the function without worrying about which is the user and which is the defender.
Something like this
class Player:
  def __init__(self, name, hp):
    self.name = name
    self.hp = hp

And get rid of the global variables altogether.

Aerts and Tarca (2010) study attributes of performance explanations in management commentary reports provided by 172 companies from five industries in the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia. They report that, compared to their counterparts in the UK and Australia, companies from the USA and Canada are generally less assertive and less defensive in explicit causal framing of accounting outcomes. They are also more extensive and formal in their explanations, relying more heavily on accounting-technical language in explaining performance outcomes. We investigate whether these differential attributional properties have economic relevance by considering their relationship with analyst forecast dispersion. Using a factor analysis based on firm-level characteristics of explanatory statements for 158 companies included in the above study, we find that defensiveness and extensiveness of performance explanations are negatively associated with analyst forecast dispersion, while assertiveness and formality are not. Our results suggest that analysts benefit from more detailed explanations and that they pick up defensive explanations while possibly disregarding more assertive explanations. Not surprisingly, the use of more technical-accounting explanations does not serve to reduce dispersion in forecasts. Our study brings together two strands of literature, being studies of explanatory patterns in narrative reports and studies investigating usefulness of narrative reports for analysts.
This chapter includes the paper originally titled "The effect of Institutional Setting on Attributional Content in Management Commentary Reports" and discussed at the Fourth International Workshop on Accounting and Regulation in 2007. We thank seminar participants at the European Accounting Association Conference Lisbon 2007, the EIASM Accounting Regulation Conference Siena 2007, the AAA International Accounting Section and IAAER Joint 2008 Midyear Conference, the University of Glasgow and the University of Queensland for their helpful comments on the material in this article and the related study Aerts and Tarca (2010).

We lucked into a pretty fabulous space for our summertime pop-up store, goop MRKT: The oldest house on the main road through Amagansett, it's sun-scrubbed and quietly beautiful, tucked between a few trees and some charming old (though not quite as old) buildings. Out back, the garden space hadn't been worked in years—so we decided to give it some love.
Enter Miranda Brooks, the Vogue contributor and landscape artist. A U.K. native and a chic Brooklyn mom of two, Brooks is famous for subtle-yet-glorious combinations of formal structure with more freewheeling, naturalistic plantings, with clients ranging from Anna Wintour to the Rothschilds and the Guinesses.
"Define something incredibly simply and it'll be calmer, easier to deal with—you can use looser plants if the basic structure is clear." This could be anything from two big boxes to benches or trellises, to more elaborate measures.
"I've learned it's important for women to touch certain plants, to balance hormones: Rosemary and black currant are two that are important for me." Another way to add more rosemary (energizing, anti-aging) and black currant (anti-aging, anti-acne) to your life: Incorporate their essential oils into your beauty routine. We love the rosemary in Uma Pure Energy Oil (it is gorgeous to apply at pulse points, the feet, or drop a bit into the bath, and the black currant in Ursa Major's seriously glow-inducing, aptly-named new Golden Hour cream.
Smooth on this beautifully invigorating, aromatherapeutic oil whenever you're feeling tired, or just to get started in the morning: the combination of rosemary and peppermint is an easy, healthy alternative to caffeine—and of course, it smells incredible.
Super-hydrating, skin soothing, and profoundly anti-aging, this use-it-day-and-night moisturizer is packed with omega 3, 6, 7, and 9's; vitamins A, C, and E; and a rich, ultra-hydrating oils for a healthy, lit-from-within glow. It protects, calms, and repairs skin simultaneously, reducing redness, smoothing fine lines, and evening skin tone for ultimate renewal. Made with sea buckthorn, calendula, black currant, and sunflower-seed oils, it's serious-but-gentle daily nutrition for your skin that's aptly named for that gorgeous sunset time of day when everyone's skin looks incredible . (Bonus: It smells amazing—a subtle, earthy mélange of neroli, rose, and sandalwood).
For our garden Brooks started with two large boxes. "That set up a simple structure," she says. On one side of the house she planted a full, walk-through-it bed, screening some not-so-beautiful aspects with native bayberry, then establishing looser plantings, with roses and a few annuals like dahlias. "I love to use native plants—it gives an instant sense of belonging and familiarity," she says.
This traditional market and storage basket, handwoven from palm leaf and finished with sleek leather handles, is the ideal take-it-anywhere tote—take it to the farmers' market, the beach, and trips into town.
Made of hot-dip galvanized steel, this heavy-duty, rust-resistant watering can is made to last a lifetime. (The classic design should be recognizable to any fan of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit books, hence the name.) Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, it holds 1.2 gallons of water, and the brass-and-rubber spray nozzle is removable.
This set of three essential gardening hand tools is beautifully, resiliently crafted in Holland by a fifth-generation family-run company that's been in business since 1898. Made of tempered steel with gorgeous wood handles, these are the best-possible quality you can get of these tried-and-true essential gardening tools. Included: a planting trowel, fork, and tine cultivator.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed by the family of a North Carolina teenager who died from the personal injuries he sustained after becoming entangled in a grinder while working at Pallet Express in Greensboro. The company builds and sells pallets in addition to grinding them to make mulch.
The machine that took the life of 17-year-old Nevy Castaneda was used to mulch damaged pallets.
According to the suit, the safety guard on the grinder was removed by the owners or managers because it was making the machine jam, causing a reduction in productivity. The suit also claims that Pallet Express had been cited in May of 2007 by the N.C. Department of Labor--five months before the accident that killed Castaneda--for removing the guard from the grinder.
The complaint was filed on September 30 and claims that the company and two unnamed supervisors are responsible for Castaneda's death because they negligently made him perform work that they should have known would be certain to cause serious personal injuries or death.
After Castaneda's death, the company was investigated by the N.C. Department of Labor and fined for eight violations, including leaving a 14-foot wide area around the shredder, failing to train employees to use machinery safely, and stacking pallets higher than a safe level. The company was fined $12,000.
The suit was filed in Guilford County Superior Court by Luis Castaneda Valenzuela, the only family of Castaneda who lives in the United States. He seeks at least $10,000 in damages.


The Alliance Warpack gives 8 new additional outfits to Ashley, Kaidan, James and EDI.
The Alliance Warpack, and its associated iterations hosted at its Nexus page, are not associated with BioWare. I make no money from this project. This mod is supplied "as is" and you use it at your own risk; I am not responsible for any damage to your game or PC by use of this mod.
All inquiries regarding this mod must be directed to kinkojiro via Nexus Mods' messaging service.
The Alliance Warpack, and its associated iterations, utilize the following textures and meshes which have been graciously provided by the following authors, without whom this mods would have not been possible.
2. kinkojiro for creating the structure that enable this mod to be a stand-alone one.
This mod requires EXPANDED GALAXY MOD v1.085 or later.
1. Defender Armour: Say goodbye to impractical dress-suits. Ashley dons the Systems Alliance Marines' favoured armour-set for hard, fast, strike missions. Encased in hardened ceramic and protected by power kinetic-barriers, this armour is a testament to humanity's endurance and grit.
2. Spectre Armour: Still fresh from elite armour-smiths of Spectre RnD, Ashley shoulders a prototype armour for the first human spectres. With jet black ceramic, complimented by tan-stripes and the Spectre insignia, this armour is a bold statement of the Citadel's reach.
3. MultiCam Terminus Assault Armour: Ideal for extended operations in the lawless regions of the Attican Traverse and Terminus System, this armour's stealth and shields are complimented by the versatile Multicam pattern. Ideal for when stealth-ops go loud!
FYI: If you'd prefer to utilize Ashley, with her more practical combat-bun, please see the Optional Files Section.
1. Sentinel Armour: Modified to the Kaidan's standards, this Kestrel-armour derivative is ideal for the hard-hitting biotic-specialists of Major Alenko's 1st Special Operations Biotic Company. It's bold insignia may barely skirt the Alliance uniform-code, but the 'Biotic Bastards' favour this armour for their 'loud' missions.
2. Spectre Armour: Still fresh from elite armour-smiths of Spectre RnD, Kaidan shoulders a prototype armour for the first human spectres. With jet black ceramic, complimented by tan-stripes and the Spectre insignia, this armour is a bold statement of the Citadel's reach.
3. MultiCam Inferno armour: Favoured by the Alliance's 'sentinel-operatives', this armour has been modified for greater protection. Eschewing the 'open-faced' helmet, this version utilizes the tested Alliance Breather Helmet and utilizes the MulitCam pattern for greater protection and stealth.
1. James's Garmr Armour: This prototype armour makes it way back into the Alliance's good-graces, via the hands of James. Layered in MulitCam and sporting a distinctive-grinning skull, this armour is ideal for the marine whom wants to deliver the pain!
2. EDI Assault Armour: Encased in heavy-duty, assault armour, EDI is ready to take the fight directly to the enemy. Say goodbye to impractical catsuits.
1. Does this mod supersede other Ashley/EDI/James/Kaidan combat mods?
No. This mod ADDs armors for the aforementioned characters. You can choose whether to use these characters outfits when a mission starts in the squadmate gui.
2. Does this mod fix Ashley's marksman power bug?
Only for the new suits. We recommend using a 'universal' marksman patch to fix it completely.
3. I installed this mod, but now when loading squadmates the game crashes or takes forever to load.

When he finally dragged me out camping upstate for the first time, my husband tucked his socks into his trousers and his shirt into his Christmas tree pyjamas, because NOBODY wants Lyme disease. Consequently, I had never seen a tick on him before last week. It was a wood tick that I had not expected to be that large because local lore has it that they are everywhere and that the nymphs are about as visible as specks of dust.
