LNL - Laplace, Newton & Lagrange (briefly known as DeltaVee in its early stages) is a game of ship to ship combat in outer space. Using a unique movement system that forces players to deal with momentum, and a fast and simple combat system, LNL is a great addition to the space game genre.
The game involves combat between the Moon and Earth, with individual ships represented by each counter. Each side has from 3-8 ships. Each ship has a log covering armament, fuel, engines and defence. These logs are reminiscent or the Task Force Game 'Starfire', but have fewer options, but a more sophisticated layout.
The heart of the game is a vector-momentum system (like the one in Yaquinto's Shooting Stars or SPI's Vector Three). Ships have a facing, use fuel to thrust towards the current facing, but speeds carry over from turn to turn. Therefore ships can only decelerate only by turning and thrusting in the opposite direction of travel. Speed is marked by placing numbered counters in the relevant direction.
Combat involves the use of missiles, guns (i.e. projectile weapons) and lasers. Missiles are launched and move much like ships. They are more manoeuvrable, but have a limited amount of fuel, used for acceleration and turning. As a defence ships may have point defence weapons. Guns and lasers are ranged weapons, with different arcs of fire, but essentially the same resolution. Damage is assessed by throwing the requisite number of dice - any dice will do, or even coins - the game using an EOR (even/odds randomiser) - with odd rolls yielding a hit. Damage is then marked off the ship, with the affected area depending on the side through which fire was taken.
Each side (Moon and Earth) has a choice of 8 types of ships and 5 basic scenarios are available, each with a great deal of flexibility. Tactics can be involved and subtle. The interplay of weapon types makes this an exciting game. It is easy to learn and has great variety.

January 29, 2020 January 31, 2020 Kannik
Last week ShadowCheetah and I got a chance to hop into my starfighter and fly ourselves down to visit Batuu… and it was a decidedly good time!
After following the construction progress from afar, walking into Galaxy's Edge and experiencing it was very cool. It's a deliciously hyper-detailed land, with an attention to detail I'd not seen in a Disney park outside of the ones in Japan.
Every nook and cranny has been paid attention to with set dressing so that there's no blank or disused areas. And the design of the land purposefully avoids any clear sight lines so that it unfolds bit by bit as you journey through it. While it has its downsides (or even flaws) from an operation's standpoint (such as lack of casual seating) the land is glorious eye candy everywhere you look (which would be great to observe from said missing seating).
Our plan was to visit the planet both during the daytime and then return to see it under the glory of night. This worked out even better than we expected — our boarding pass was called for Rise of the Resistance (more on that in a bit!) late in the evening, which had us emerge from the ride just a few minutes before park closing. Which was enough time to hustle it over to Smuggler's Run for our third ride of the day. We ended up being the last ones on the ride for the day, and when we were done piloting (woohoo!) we exited Hondo's garage to a very empty Black Spire Outpost. Which allowed us to not only marvel in the great detail and lighting, but also take some nice shots with nary another person in sight.
So clearly we enjoyed Smuggler's Run, but we were especially fortunate that our trip to Batuu came after the opening of Rise of the Resistance. Because it is truly something else. Several something elses, really, as it is more like 5 rides in one. Spoilers hereon out if you want to avoid, as I kind of did, studiously avoiding watching any on-ride videos so that I would go in semi-fresh. So while I knew of a few of the big set pieces from following the construction photos, the overall of it I didn't know. I've heard it described as the first "F-ticket" attraction, and I would agree. There are a lot of very nifty moments, a tonne of incredibly creative set pieces and effects, and it has a more cohesive plot and perhaps even story than did the The Rise of Skywalker movie. It's a tour de force (pun semi-intended), and I'm keen on seeing it again!
Some of my fav moments:
From those construction photos, I knew that there would be a Star Destroyer hangar. But having us go out of the shuttle through same door we came in was unexpected… and best of all, there was this group of about 8 who clearly didn't know about this and when the door opened and we were greeted by the tableau of three rows of stormtroopers and the giant doorway to space and the First Order officers this group, in unison, literally jumped back, leaned back, and screamed in a mix of surprise, amazement, wonder, and terror. So much so that the officer had to stop his spiel and wait for them to finish before ordering us off the ship. So while I unfortunately wasn't surprised it was absolutely great to get to live vicariously through that group.
The cast members playing the First Order. They must love it, getting to be all stern and order-y and generally being very non-Disney like.
The cutting out of the jail cell! The effects of the plasma torch were neat (even if one fellow prisoner was standing in front of it, totally clueless to what was going on behind) them, and then the rough cut look of the wall when the panel pulls away.
As we're in the droid vehicles, headed towards a lift… and a mechanical form slowly slides down from above into view. Me: "Gahhhh! It's a probe droid!" Voice on the Ride: "Look out, it's a probe droid!" Me: "That's what I just said!"
I want to see the blaster effects a second time… some seemed to work great (along with blasting holes in the wall), some less so…
The decompression effect was amazing. I'm guessing a chamber of pressurized air to get that instantaneous blast effect, it was very effective. (The debris that 'falls' to hide Kylo Ren, not so much.)
And then that last drop right into the motion simulator. They must drop the entire motion simulator rig, and that's just downright impressive — that thing plus the ride vehicle plus the guests can't be all that lightweight! And to do it over and over and over again! It's also very effective from an experience standpoint, you do get the sense of being ejected out of the ship and then escaping down to the planet's surface (that said, they need to upgrade their graphics on both that and the original shuttle ride to take time-of-day into account — it was night outside but the graphics were all day).
All in all, a great ride experience, and super impressive from a technical standpoint. Hats off and lightsabres up in salute to Imagineering for such great work!

Rick Berman's History
Berman grew up in New York City. His father ran gas stations and car washes, and Berman did general labor on weekends and summers while he was growing up.
From 1967 to 1969, Berman worked as a labor law attorney for Bethlehem Steel. From 1969 to 1972, he served as a corporate lawyer for Dana Corporation, an automotive parts company in Toledo, Ohio.
From 1972 to 1974, Berman was employed as labor law director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. In this role, Berman claimed that he "argued against unnecessary regulation of [the] hospitality industry." However, he is known to have submitted an amici curiae brief opposing a decision to grant health care coverage to pregnant women.
Berman moved into the food and beverage industry in 1975 under the mentorship of Norman Brinker, founder and owner of the Steak & Ale chain of restaurants. Berman started a government affairs program, launched his first PAC for Brinker, and worked there until 1984. In 1995, Berman and Brinker were identified as the special-interest lobbyists who donated the $25,000 that caused House Speaker Newt Gingrich to be hauled before the House Ethics Committee for influence peddling.
Berman served as executive vice president of Pillsbury Restaurant Group from 1984 to 1986. In 1986, he formed Berman and Company.
Berman's résumé also includes his work for Beverage Retailers Against Drunk Driving (BRADD), where he argued for "tolerance of social drinking;" the Minimum Wage Coalition to Save Jobs; and the Employment Policies Institute (EPI), created in 1991 to argue "the importance of minimum wage jobs for the poor and uneducated."
Today, Berman describes himself as a social liberal and an economic conservative. He is media savvy and is reported to be clever, "aggressive, and polished—a real street fighter."

In the recent past, laparoscopic adjustable gastric bands (LAGBs) have been used extensively in bariatric surgery. Despite questionable long-term efficacy, they are generally safe and reversible. We report a possibly unique presentation of a potential hazard of the insertion technique; a misplaced LAGB encircling the abdominal aorta, which was confirmed radiologically and on operative removal of the gastric band. This is a dramatic complication of LAGB, representing an important anatomical hazard for gastric band insertion.

Whitehouse Hears From Utah Skiers, Ski Industry on Effects of Climate Change
Leading voice on climate change commends Utah skiing community for work to reduce carbon pollution and advocate for climate action
Salt Lake City, UT – Today, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) met with members of Utah's skiing community to discuss how they are preparing for the effects of climate change. Included in the meeting were representatives from Utah ski areas, local professional and recreational skiers, the Utah Ski & Snowboard Association (Ski Utah), the Protect Our Winters campaign, and local outdoor outfitters. Whitehouse, a leading voice on climate change in Washington, commended participants for their work to reduce carbon pollution and thanked them for continuing to fight for climate action in Congress.
"Skiers and scientists will tell you the same thing: Utah is getting warmer, and it is getting drier. That means shorter winters and dramatic changes in the weather patterns that skiers in the West depend on for the unmatched snow conditions they enjoy," said Whitehouse, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and co-founder of the Senate Climate Action Task Force to help build support for action to address carbon pollution. "These Utahns see the effects of climate change every winter and are doing impressive work to adapt to the changing conditions and reduce their industry's carbon footprint. We need to continue to push leaders in Utah and Washington to follow their lead and act on climate."
Utah's Alta Ski Area, Deer Crest Private Trails, and Deer Valley are among the 108 ski areas nationwide to sign the BICEP Climate Declaration, which calls on federal policymakers to address climate change and seize the economic opportunities that come with climate action.
"We sincerely appreciated Senator Whitehouse's visit to Utah and his willingness to lead the charge against climate change. Utah's $1.3 billion ski industry hangs its hat on the ability to provide our guests with 'The Greatest Snow on Earth' – and we'd like to keep it that way. We look forward to working with the senator as he continues to make headway on this important issue for our state and its tourism economy," said Nathan Rafferty, President and CEO of Ski Utah.
Whitehouse has now visited 12 states to see how a changing climate influences state economies, disrupts local ecosystems, and alters the way of life in American communities. Whitehouse has used what he learned on those trips to inform his work on climate policy in Congress.
"The ski industry in Utah affects more than the ski industry in Utah. Senator Whitehouse's visit from the across the country confirmed its economic importance and mortality in the face of climate change. It also continued to take the environmental health conversation outside our homes and ski resorts, beyond our imaginary state borders, and into a place it belongs: the United States Senate," said professional adventure skier Brody Leven.
Senator Whitehouse is a leading advocate for climate action in the Senate. Every week the Senate is in session, Whitehouse speaks out on the Floor of the Senate, urging Congress to wake up to the threat of climate change. Whitehouse has also introduced legislation to put a fee on carbon, establishing a market incentive to reduce emissions while generating substantial revenue to be returned to the American people.
Caroline Gleich, professional ski mountaineer and adventurer based in Salt Lake City, UT, also attended the meeting and had the following to say about the discussion:
"I was grateful Senator Whitehouse took the time to meet with our group today to hear how climate change is affecting the snowsports industry from some of the key players. As a professional snowsports athlete, some of the things I'm seeing are lower than average snow years, more snow falling as rain and more dangerous avalanche conditions due to a low snowpack. But it's more than my job - climate change has big implications for the entire state economy. And the outlook isn't good - without action, it's estimated that historic ski towns like Park City, UT will lose their entire snowpack by 2100. The good news is, we can do something about it. It's time to step up, take action and get it right. We need more Senators like Whitehouse to be proactive, take leadership and solve the problem."

Fired Nuclear Plant Worker Charged With Terroristic Threats
A search of his car found 6 pounds of the explosive Tannerite, lighter fluid, propane, 500 rifle rounds, nine shotgun shells and leg irons.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Prosecutors say a disgruntled contract worker at a Minnesota nuclear power plant harassed and threatened union officials before police discovered he had a carload of explosive materials and ammunition.
Fifty-eight-year-old Robert James Johnson, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is charged with three felony counts of making terroristic threats. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports the complaint alleges he'd been confrontational with carpenters' union officials before his May 13 firing from the Monticello plant and became increasingly threatening before his arrest May 20.
It says a search of his car found 6 pounds of the explosive Tannerite, lighter fluid, propane, 500 rifle rounds, nine shotgun shells and leg irons. It alleges he told investigators he was planning a surprise attack.
His attorney didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday.

Regulators OK summer Arizona power shut-off ban
By Danielle Miller
PHOENIX (FOX 10/AP) - State regulators have enacted emergency rules barring most Arizona electric utilities from disconnecting power to customers who are late on their bills from June 1 through Oct 15.
Thursday's action by Arizona Corporation Commission comes less than a week after it became known that a 72-year-old Sun City West woman died after her power was disconnected last September. The emergency rules take effect immediately and last six months while regulators develop final rules on shutoffs in hot weather.
Arizona Public Service disconnected Stephanie Pullman's power because she only paid $125 of her $176 bill. The state's largest utility suspended disconnections last Thursday and Tucson Electric Power followed on Friday.
The originally proposed cutoff ban period was June 1 to Sept. 30, but it was extended by two weeks into mid-October at Kennedy's request. Commissioners also adopted a ban on utilities assessing late fees or interest during the summer months.
People who don't have their electricity cut off for non-payment during the summer months would still be required to pay their bills. And the commission's utilities division director, Elijah Abinah, said in a memo to commissioners that adopting the rule may raise rates for all customers, because payment delays and an increase in bad debt could be passed on to all customers.
Salt River Project, a major power supplier in metropolitan Phoenix with about a million customers, isn't covered by the commission because it is a quasi-government agency. SRP spokesman Scott Harelson Wednesday said his company hasn't decided whether to voluntarily follow the new rules if they were to be adopted, but the company works hard to avoid disconnections and suspends them during extreme heat events, as required under existing commission rules. He didn't immediately respond to an inquiry Thursday.

Family's questions over death of North Yorkshire airman answered after 78 years by German resident
A North Yorkshire family who lived for 70 years with questions unanswered over what happened to their relative on a bombing raid in Germany have now had those finally questions answered thanks to a resident in Germany and a local news appeal.
VALERIE has no memory of her father, but can recall her mother sitting on the stairs and crying after reading a telegram which confirmed her airman husband had been shot down and was missing, presumed dead.
The family heard no other details of how Sergeant Reginald Renton, from 90 Squadron, died until more than 70 years later when – unknown to each other – a North Yorkshire man and a German researcher both began looking into his fate.
Richard Fieldhouse, editor of a community news site for Bishop Monkton, near Harrogate, published an appeal to find out if anyone knew the identity of 'R.Renton' named on the village war memorial.
To his surprise, Erik Wieman got in touch from Germany, suggesting the man may be Reginald Renton and he was investigating the site where his Stirling bomber crashed in Germany in 1943.
He and friend Peter Berker had managed to recover more than 2,000 items from the site, including bone fragments and piles of ammunition.
They had also spoken to witnesses from the night of the crash and managed to establish exactly what happened to the North Yorkshire airman.
Richard Fieldhouse then traced Sgt Renton's family in Harrogate, where his only child, Valerie, and the airman's granddaughter, Sallyann Linfoot live.
Erik will meet with the family and present them with artefacts from the crash site at a Remembrance Day service in Bishop Monkton.
Sallyann said: "We didn't have a clue how he died. My mother remembers her mother receiving a telegram one day, when she was three-years-old, and how she just sat down and cried her eyes out because it said he was missing presumed dead.
"That was the last she heard. Then she got a phone call this Christmas to say they had found my father's crash site in Germany."
The news answered questions that had hung in the air for 78 years.
"All we knew was that his plane had been shot down – probably out at sea," said Sallyann.
"My mother had always thought he was a navigator, but Erik's research found he was an air gunner, or a bomb operator. It's incredible what he has discovered."
Netherlands-born Erik Wieman, who lives in Germany with his family, had heard about a World War Two plane crash which happened close to where he lived, near Ludwigshafen.
He spoke to local witnesses who described an Allied bombing raid in September 1943 in which 50,000 people were left homeless in Germany and 34 English bombers and 11 German nightfighter planes shot down.
Erik and his friend Peter Berker investigate sites where English and Allied personnel died in Germany. They share their research with surviving relatives, passing on items or personal belongings to them. They work closely with the cultural heritage service in Speyer (GDKE).
"Ludwigshafen and Mannheim were important targets in World War Two because of the industry. Many planes crashed here," said Erik.
"But most of them are forgotten. Peter and I try to find the forgotten crash sites. We do not want to let them fade into history, with the fates, names, people behind it. Many airmen, American, English, but also Germans died here. Often complete crews were killed in action.
"Many families and relatives of the crashed airmen do not know what happened. The only thing they know is "crashed over Germany". We try to change that so they can find closure."
He added he wanted a memorial stone at the crash site, adding: "So no one passing by will forget what happened there. Lest we forget."

NAZARETH The town in Lower Galilee (modern en-Nasira), north of the valley of Jezreel, that was the residence of Mary and Joseph and the place where Jesus grew up (Matt 2:23; Luke 1:26, 4:16).

Maybe I'm missunderstanding the mobileOK test cases, but I think that there are several atomic test that specify an WARN output as test validity level in a explicit way. The question then is, if we want to record the results of these atomic tests how are we going to record them?
For example: If the document's Internet media type is "text/html", WARN (not pass nor fail). How does this atomic test Test Result look like?
We record just results, all of them come from testcases that could determine whether they are warnings or not. There is no distinction at the result level.
> be communicated in a different way.

> EARL but it should also come from the higher level test description.
Totally agree on this point.
Then I've changed my mind now. I think that the best practices scenarios should just rely on A and maybe B, and we shouldn't provide built in warning capabilities in EARL more than simple literal messages, mainly because I see now they are more a test development question than a result question. Nevertheless, the problem we still have is, how are we going to manage use cases where the testcase itself specifies a WARN output as validity level?

What We Live
In June of 2015 in San Francisco, Rova produced a complete evening of extended compositions collectively entitled No Favorites: Music for Lawrence 'Butch' Morris. The three pieces highlight long-time Rova improvisational strategies, including Rova's unique hand-cueing system. These pieces complemented each other brilliantly in performance and led to a standing ovation from the San Francisco audience. It was the perfect lead-in to an early July recording session that will be released by New World Records in fall, 2016.
OrkestRova 2015 was comprised of Rova on saxophones, a "string quartet" of violin, viola, cello, and acoustic bass, plus a "power trio" of electric guitar, electric bass and drum kit. In the spirit of Butch Morris' music, a conductor is employed, either by having one of the Rova members making the conduction-cues, or by drawing in a 12th musician to act as "conductionist." In this case that guest conductor was San Francisco luminary Gino Robair.
The compositions performed by OrkestRova 2015 were: (1) a Rova-designed 25-minute structured-improvisation in 9 seamless movements entitled Contours of the Glass Head; (2) Larry Ochs' 25-minute Buckminster Fuller Disagrees; and (3) The Double Negative: three graphically-notated pieces from Steve Adams and Jon Raskin, arranged by Adams to overlap and interact as one extended composition.
The music from Orkestrova 2015 aka No Favorites is easily exportable using local musicians in your area who are experienced in structured improvisation. For example, this project was originally put together for the 2013 Akbank Jazz Festival in Istanbul, where Rova worked with 7 Turkish musicians. While Rova most prefers to present these pieces using the same instrumentation (as well as the 2015 show's Bay Area players), changes in instrumentation are possible.
Any of these 3 pieces can also be performed or combined with newly commissioned works for future performances. But at the moment we encourage complete presentations of No Favorites. It is now battle-tested.
Rova's history with Butch Morris includes appearing in his 26- saxophones ensemble at Berlin's 1989 FMP Festival as well as a performance at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco that same year, with a Rova-selected creative orchestra that was led by Butch in one of his earliest recorded conductions; later released as part of the epic 10-CD Butch Morris box set on New World Records. Then in 2006 Rova:Arts presented Butch in its Improv:21 series of "informances" where guests were interviewed, spoke about what they do, and demonstrated that music either live or in recording. It is generally agreed that Butch's informance was one of the 2 or 3 strongest shows in that series. (You can view that by clicking here.)
Butch's enthusiasm for and determination to compose "on the fly", using only his pre-rehearsed cues and his ensemble-of-the-moment, impressed and inspired Rova to continue on their own path of creating structured-improvisations for quartet and large ensembles.
Since 1978, Rova has been pushing these musical boundaries, while straddling the worlds of composition and improvisation, to create exciting, genre-bending music. In addition to Butch Morris, the list of Rova collaborators in the past 35 years includes: John Zorn, Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Terry Riley, Sam Rivers, Carla Kihlstedt, Wadada Leo Smith, Satoko Fujii, Tim Berne, Alvin Curran, Ikue Mori, Nels Cline, Kronos Quartet, inkBoat, We Players.

Mr Elevator and the Brain Hotel: Nico & Her Psychedelic Subconscious Album Review
By Kevin Baxter
Artist: Mr Elevator and the Brain Hotel
Album: Nico & Her Psychedelic Subconscious
Released Date: October 23rd, 2019
Website: https://mrelevator.bandcamp.com/
Mr Elevator and the Brain Hotel is a four-piece psychedelic rock group hailing from Los Angeles, California. Releasing their first album in 2013, this group was able to combine the raw sound of modern garage rock with catchy melodies reminiscent of '60s psych pop.
They now have two albums available to listen to on Bandcamp with only their first one being on Spotify, which will be the focus of this article.
The album starts with the song "Nico" which leads seamlessly into "& Her Psychedelic Subconscious", creating the title of the album "Nico & Her Psychedelic Subconscious". The opening tracks to the album sound almost like if Syd Barrett, the genius yet troubled founding member of Pink Floyd, decided to make psychedelic carnival music with a highly overdriven organ.
Taking a turn during the transition into the instrumental "& Her Psychedelic Subconscious", the tempo raises and the music starts to sound more "upbeat". These two opening songs of the album create a perfect introduction for the sounds to come.
The next honorable mention on the album would have to be "Mermaid Song". Played in a swing style, the song brings back feelings reminiscent of some early Sticky Fingers songs. The song also being sung as a story makes me feel like I'm sitting in a smokey speakeasy listening to the final act of the night.
The final song I would highly recommend is "Velvet Night"; which is my personal favorite on the album. For me, this song seems to bring out similar emotions to the song "Golden Throne" by Temples, another great modern '60s psych-sounding group.
The melody of the song gives a dark and mysterious inflection while displaying the similarity between this band and its predecessors from the sixties.
The album "Nico & Her Psychedelic Subconscious" by Mr Elevator and the Brain Hotel is able to create a modern take on the '60s pychedelic music created by bands such as The Doors, Love, or Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd.
Mr Elevator and the Brain Hotel is able to channel this old sound while also adding new ideas from modern psych and garage rock to create their own unique sound. I would recommend this album to anyone that is interested in melodic psychedelic music, especially if one's a fan of '60s rock. Hopefully more will come from this band soon.

New York Lightning Host Second Home Game of the Season
Written By: Brandon Colon
The New York Lightning are looking to bounce back from the loss in their home opener two weeks ago. They will be taking on the Pottstown Flames this Sunday, February 25th at 3:00 p.m.
The Lightning last game was a nail-biter that they lost to the Bronx Holy Flames 100-96. They played hard and clearly had stepped up their game on the defensive end but came up just short.
With the Pottstown Flames coming to Brooklyn the Lightning look to keep that same defensive intensity they showed in their last home game. In their previous three games, the Lightning has showcased their offensive abilities but will need to put the pressure on the defensive side if they want to win.
The Lightning plays their home games in the Brooklyn Stuy Dome where the former Brooklyn Sky Rockets used to play. With their connection to the borough of Brooklyn, Owner/head coach Willie Negron makes it his mission to get more Brooklyn players apart of the Lightning program.
"We are representing Brooklyn right now I am working diligently right now to get more players from the borough here. Hopefully we can get the word out through all the media outlets we have," said Coach Negron.
The team currently has two players from Brooklyn, Stanley Hamp who has been with the team since their first game in the ABA. While coach Negron added another guard from Brooklyn in Scott Rich who will be making his return to the ABA but his debut with the Lightning this Sunday.
"I am always ready for the opportunity, there is a little bit of history with playing for the Lightning my best friend who passed away Paul "PJ" Flowers was a former player, so there is a little emotion attached to this," said Rich. "It is going to feel great to get back out there, I am ready! I am itching to grab the ball right now."
Stanley Hamp loves playing in his hometown in front of many people he knows and has grown up with. He also is afraid to pull off a few moves he has learned on the Brooklyn playgrounds.
"It's amazing it is a different type of atmosphere, the crowds on your side and there is a different type of energy, winning energy," said Hamp. "I am thrilled and very thankful to play at home in front of fans from Brooklyn, I enjoy playing in front of everybody that is cheering for us," he added.
Hamp has an interesting move that he has used in each of the Lightning first three games. If he happens to find himself trapped under the team's basket, he will fake a pass behind the defenders back, and once they fall for it, he will go up for the lay-up a move he learned in the park.
" Oh man I got that move from an older guy playing in the park, he did it to me one time I was like wow, so I said I am going to put that in my arsenal," said Hamp.
The Lightning hope Hamp can use some of his trickery in Sunday's game to help get them a win. He believes they are close to breaking their three-game losing streak.
"I feel like we have to play better defense, move the ball a lot more and just play harder," he said. "We are right there we just need to play with a little bit more heart and more defense, the scoring is there we can all put the ball in the basket," he added.
The Lightning looks to get their first win in the ABA this Sunday, February 25th at 3:00 p.m. in the Brooklyn Stuy Dome.

Material examined. SIO 72-189, male, 50 mm SL, 55 mm TL, Sta. MV72-II-32, 15° 39.2 S, 76° 13.6' W, Peru (Nazca Ridge), 10-11 May 1972, 8 m otter trawl, ca. 3475 m.
was redescribed by Stein (1978) who described its range as from Panama to Oregon, predicting that "more specimens would be reported from deep water throughout the eastern Pacific Ocean." This specimen extends the range considerably further south to Peru. The species seems to have an unusually broad range for a snailfish.

Q: simple pro question: bind function again to an event - from the function ... kind of recoursive if the user clicked on the certain target, then nothing should be done, but the click event should be bound "one" again - kind of recoursive ... how is this done nicely.
        $(document).one('click',function(ev){
            if(!$(ev.target) == $('.gallerystatus input')){
                $('.gallerystatus input').trigger('focusout');
            }
        });

Thanks for any advice!

A: I think this is what you're asking for:
    var clickGalleryStatus = function(ev){
        if(!$(ev.target) == $('.gallerystatus input')){
            $('.gallerystatus input').trigger('focusout');
        } else {
            $(document).one('click', clickGalleryStatus);
        }
    };

    $(document).one('click', clickGalleryStatus);

If .gallerystatus input isn't what's clicked, then it will rebind the click event.

A: Rather than rebinding the event if a condition does not occur it is better to unbind the event if it does:
var handler = function(ev){
    if(!$(ev.target) == $('.gallerystatus input')){
        $('.gallerystatus input').trigger('focusout');
        $(document).unbind('click', handler);
    }
};

$(document).bind('click', handler);

Northrop Grumman Demos OMS Capabilities Across Unmanned & Manned Systems
B-2 Spirit Bomber
Last month, Northrop Grumman conducted several test flights demonstrating that the U.S. Air Force's Open Mission Systems architecture standards can be integrated across multiple systems and platforms.
The test flights were conducted at the Edwards Air Force Base, and showed the ability to rapidly integrate subsystems onto the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and NASA's Global Hawk UAS using the OMS-compliant computing architecture, according to a news release.
The most recent test included the B-2 Spirit, Northrop Grumman's fully OMS-compliant Gulfstream G-V test bed aircraft configured as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance asset, and an OMS-complaint battle management command and control ground node.
During one of the tests, the G-V ISR aircraft detected a new ground threat, and then broadcast that threat's location across an OMS-compliant line-of-sight Link-16 data link, according to the release. The BMC2 node received the information, then assigned a nearby B-2 to engage the target. Then, the B-2 used its onboard OMS-compliant auto-routing function to re-plan its mission and "prosecute and destroy the target in a simulated attack."
"The team's ability to rapidly demonstrate OMS has been nothing short of amazing and shows the speed at which capabilities can be developed when the Air Force and industry partner together," said Col. Rob Strasser, U.S. Air Force B-2 System Program Manager, according to the release. "The collaboration and innovation required by the team to rapidly plan, integrate and demonstrate OMS on the B-2 has illustrated the ability to reduce cost while significantly increasing mission effectiveness."
Northrop Grumman defined and integrated the entire OMS infrastructure for the B-2 in about six weeks, according to the release. The company funded the development and integration, while both Northrop Grumman and the Air Force B-2 System Program Office supported the testing.

Planning in Principle submitted for new Scottish prison featuring BakerHicks' designs
BakerHicks, the multi-disciplinary design and engineering company, has completed its part in the submission of the Planning Permission in Principle (PPiP) to Highland Council to build the first new prison in the Scottish Highlands for more than a century.
Working closely with commercial property firm Colliers, BakerHicks developed the drawings and documents for the submission for the new £70 million HMP Highland, which will serve the Highlands, Islands and Moray area, replacing the existing HMP Inverness. The new prison will hold up to 200 offenders in purposely designed accommodation units. The result of the application is expected to be determined later this year.
BakerHicks were awarded the concept design contract through the Scottish Prison Service framework on a multi-discipline basis, covering Architectural, Civil & Structural, Mechanical & Electrical and Principal Designer services. The company partnered with TGP Landscape Architects for the landscape design.
The design developed by BakerHicks includes a central roundhouse as a focal point for the site, housing visitors, a family centre and staff facilities, providing an area where everyone will interact together. The concept stems from the historical use of roundhouses within ancient walled communities or fortresses not only as homes but as places of work and for communities to come together in.
The design concept for HMP Highland features a roundhouse as a focal point.
The prison is designed in the shape of a flowing river to reflect the heritage of the city that takes its name from the Scottish Gaelic Inbhir Nis, meaning 'Mouth of the Ness'. This long winding wave through the site means that, from eye level, the building can never be viewed in its entirety, making it less oppressive to pedestrians or prison visitors.
A BakerHicks spokesperson comments:
"Our approach has ensured emphasis is placed on the quality of the architecture and landscape of the new facility to create an ambience and stakeholder experience very different to that of the current HMP Inverness.
"It is also about ensuring that the design works well with the operational requirements of the prison. We took inspiration from the history and surroundings to root the proposals within the site and context."
Meabhann Crowe, senior planner from Colliers International Planning, adds:
"Throughout this process BakerHicks has been dedicated and motivated, and the quality of their designs has been to a very high standard. As part of this instruction, BakerHicks worked through a series of design iterations, which resulted in a detailed and well-considered development proposal for the site.
"The accompanying Design & Access Statement, which was both thorough and succinct, together with supporting technical drawings, also fully met the Council's Sustainable Design Guide criteria. We look forward to working with BakerHicks again in the future."
The project has been developed taking full consideration of Highland Council's Sustainable Design Guide which has been prepared to encourage agents, architects, builders and clients to opt for buildings that are designed to respond to the local landscape and climate.

The petition for Charlie Parker is very dear to my heart. He is my husband and has already served 18 yrs for a crime he did not commit.


Repowered battery-electric 35-foot bus will be on the road in Boulder, Colorado in summer 2018.
LightningElectric200 product will serve Boulder's HOP route with a range of more than 200 all-electric miles, improving air quality in communities served and reducing vehicle maintenance costs.
BOULDER, Colo., May 2, 2018 – Lightning Systems, a global developer of zero emission solutions for commercial fleets, is partnering with the City of Boulder and Via Mobility Services to repower diesel buses with battery-electric systems. The first demonstration vehicle will be on the road this summer and will give the bus more than 200 miles of all-electric range.
Via Mobility Services, a local nonprofit social enterprise, operates Boulder's HOP transit route, a high-frequency shuttle service serving Boulder hot spots like the University of Colorado campus and Downtown Boulder. This project will be the first step for the City of Boulder and Via in realizing their combined goal of converting the HOP fleet of 35-foot transit buses to zero emission all-electric vehicles.
Upon the success of the first vehicle, additional HOP service buses may be converted, providing an efficient and cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire fleet with new electric buses. Repowering an existing diesel transit bus with the LightningElectric product will cost a third of the price of a new electric bus. In addition, there is a backlog of two years or more for new electric buses from other manufacturers, so the repowered buses will allow Via and the City of Boulder to quickly reach their goal of an all-electric fleet in an expedited timeframe. The city and Via staff plan to continue to transition the entire HOP fleet to zero emission vehicles in the near-term.
Via and the City of Boulder have a long-standing partnership and share a common goal. "Repowering this demonstration vehicle with Lightning Systems helps us on our path to meeting our greenhouse gas emission and climate commitment goals," said Natalie Stiffler, Boulder senior transportation planner. She added that Boulder and Via are working on the Resiliency Project, a renewable energy project focused on adding solar at Via's facility, which currently powers 30 percent of its business using solar energy. "The long-term plan is that we'll be able to fuel the vehicles with the solar energy that's collected at Via's site," Stiffler said.
In February 2017, the City of Boulder and Via secured federal and state funding for the purchase of their first electric bus, along with charging infrastructure to serve the HOP transit route. Via's 63rd Street facility has a large solar array and is in the process of installing battery storage and on-site generation capabilities.
Lightning Systems, a leader in zero emission solutions for fleets around the world, is a fast-growing company headquartered in Loveland, Colorado. The company offers products to support commercial and government fleets, including the LightningElectric, a zero emission full-electric powertrain designed for fleets, with a hydrogen fuel-cell option; LightningAnalytics, a cloud-based analytics system for fleet vehicles; and LightningHybrid, a hydraulic hybrid energy recovery system for heavy-duty vehicles. To learn more, visit www.lightningsystems.com.
Via Mobility Services, a transportation provider that serves people facing mobility limitations in Boulder County and which runs Boulder's HOP bus service, is a nonprofit social enterprise headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. The company is a full-spectrum mobility manager offering paratransit, travel training, and mobility-options information and referral services. Via also provides a wide range of community and group educational resources related to transportation for older adults, people with disabilities, and others living with mobility limitations.

Tigers Spring Training Preview - The Catchers
There is no positional battle at the catching spot this spring. Everybody knows that Ivan Rodriguez is the starter and that Vance Wilson is the backup. One question concerning Rodriguez is whether he will regain some of the production which he failed to show in 2005 but that's something that can't really be answered until the regular season.
A bigger question is what happens if Pudge goes down for a significant period of time with an injury? Although Wilson is not usually as bad as he showed last year, I would not want to see him start for any length of time. What other options are there?
The first option would probably be Maxim St. Pierre. Max has the coolest name and is also the most advanced of the five non-roster invitees. Assistant General Manager, Al Avila, recently said that St. Pierre is the best defenseive prospect in the Tigers system and that he may be ready for the majors soon. He batted .278/.320/.369 at the age of 26 in his fourth year at Erie. This is pretty much the same stat line he puts up every year and at this point I wouldn't expect much improvement. He looks to be a backup catcher option only.
Another one who could be re-called if anything were to happen to Rodriguez is Brian Peterson. Peterson, who spent the last 4 years in AA Chattanooga in the Reds organization seems to be a Max St.Pierre clone. Like St. Pierre, Peterson looks like a backup catcher at best. He'll likely share the catching duties at Toledo with St. Pierre but I would expect St. Pierre to get the most at bats.
They do have a couple of catchers lower in the system who are a bit more intriguing even though they wouldn't be ready this year. The best hitting prospect is Danilo Sanchez. He is 25 years old and has never played above A ball but he put up some impressive numbers at Lakeland last year: .284/.361/.524 with 22 home runs in 349 at bats. If he hits as well for Erie this year, he'll become an interesting prospect.
Chris Robinson, the third round pick in the 2005 draft, is considered by many to be the best all around catching prospect in the system. The report on him is that he is a good defensive catcher who needs to work on his offensive game Right now he doesn't project to be more than an average hitting catcher but he is just 21 and has time to improve. He'll catch for Lakeland this year.
The other catcher in camp is Mike Rabelo. Rabelo is another fringe prospect who will likely backup Sanchez at Erie this year. He hits for pretty good average but doesn't appear to have any other good skills.
So the answer to the question posed above is that the Tigers don't have a legitimate replacement for Rodriguez this year and any significant injury to him would create a tough problem for the team.
Sam February 21, 2006
On the positive side, Vance has got to play better this year, so you can probably count on at least a teensy upgrade from him. I'm not sure it's possible for him to hit worse.
And Peterson can't be a MaxClone. Is he an adorable Quebecois? No.
Paladin February 21, 2006
If Pudge goes down to the 15-day list or more, I believe you'll see Inge catching at least half the games. Infante is no Charlie Gehringer, but he is a better hitter than Wilson.
Lee Panas February 21, 2006
It might be a little tough for Inge to go back to catching after not catching for a while but I agree that would be a strong possibility.
Sam, Peterson is the cheap American version of St. Pierre.
If second-half Inge returns this year, I wouldn't be at all suprised to see him banished back behind the plate for 2007 (bye-bye Vance). I'd actually welcome it.
Of course, then we'd have a hole at third, but at least our system isn't totally barren over there. (Kirkland, Ramirez, Hollimon, Middleton, even Kelly and Hannahan). Don Kelly and Infante platooning for a year wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
I wouldn't mind seeing Inge as the back up catcher but I'd also want him to play other positions. His greatest value as a player is his versatility.

In one of the introductions to קהלות יעקב, The Steipler references an old practice to weave gematria of one's name into the title of his book.
In his case, קהלות is equal (541) to his second name ישראל. His first name being יעקב of קהלות יעקב.
I don't know if referring to it as a "kabbalistic preference" is an accurate idea.
The Rokeach of Garmiza had a tradition to follow such a practice.
Basically, the idea is that a book written by someone is their essence, so to speak. Think of it as the programming line code of who they are. It captures their mind.
Just like the Torah (the five books of Moshe) is the essence of G-d's will and the letters of the Torah are, according to the Zohar, G-d's name. This is why one of the explanations of cleaving to G-d means to learn Torah.
This concept also has interesting implications in regard resurrection of the dead and the returning of a persons soul to a reconstituted body.

Research & Citations is comprehensive and provides a scaffolded, step-by-step approach to the process of writing a paper with sources. Students can be taken through each step, and teachers can structure a course or a portion of a course around each of these steps. In computer classrooms, teachers may have students complete one step on a particular day in class. In a traditional classroom, teachers may want to practice a "flipped" curriculum and have students complete a step at home and then come to class ready to practice with that step. Online courses can be structured around each step of the process as well, as students can complete process activities in modules leading up to a due date for an essay.
Because each step of Research & Citations features a student sample video and a section called "Time to Write," this area can easily be integrated into a curriculum and can supplement or replace textbooks that take students through the process of writing a paper with sources.
After reviewing information on "Assignment Analysis," students can complete their own assignment analysis using the assignment from the course.
Students can submit their own research questions to their instructors or classmates for feedback after completing the "Narrowing and Developing" section.
Teachers can use the "Research Strategies" section as an introduction to a lesson or unit on finding information on the web or in academic databases.
Once students complete the section on "Thesis or Focus," and take the interactive quiz for practice, students can submit a working or tentative thesis for feedback.
After completing the section on "Note Taking" students can submit notes from their research process either electronically or on note cards.
The "outlining" section provides sample outlines. Students can use the samples and watch the video cast to help them create the outline for their own paper.
"Drafting and Integrating" encourages students to remember that a draft is a rough draft and to integrate sources effectively. In addition to having students complete a draft at this state, teachers can use the "Signal Phrase" quiz to have students practice integrating sources and then submit some samples for review and feedback.
The "Revising and Editing" section features checklists in interactive PDFs. Students can complete the checklists as they engage in revision and editing and submit the PDFs via e-mail or in print along with revision and editing notes on their papers.
For "Documenting," teachers will want to focus on the style being used. Students can save or print the interactive PDFs, which can be used during drafting and also during editing, as students work to ensure consistency with format. Depending upon the level of understanding teachers require, they may want students to also complete the MLA or APA quizzes to help reinforce some of the finer details of formatting.
If students are completing an Annotated Bibliography or a Literature Review as a part of their research/writing process, teachers will want to take advantage of these sections of the OWL, which provide instruction and a sample Annotated Bibliography and Literature Review.

What could have been a momentous occasion descended into distressing scenes as Spanish rugby players confronted and attempted to grab Romanian referee Vlad Iordăchescu following their 18-10 loss to Belgium in the Rugby Europe Championship. A win for Spain would have seen Los Leones qualify automatically for Rugby World Cup 2019, but in losing that honour falls to Iordăchescu's compatriots, Romania.
In the aftermath of the tight match in which some of the Spaniards felt tight calls went the way of the hosts, Iordăchescu had to be escorted from the pitch as players from the losing side surged towards him.
Spain's scrum-half Guillaume Rouet is clearly seen trying to grab the referee while back-row Pierre Barthere is seen ironically clapping the match official, before the two sides come together in a melee.
The loss means that Los Leones must now play Portugal later in the year, in a decider to see who faces Samoa for a place at the World Cup in Japan in 18 months. If Spain win the first tie but lose the second, they will then go into a repechage with Canada, an African side and an Asia/Oceania side. If Spain go on to beat Samoa, they will be in Romania's group at the World Cup.
Following this result, Spain captain Jaime Nava spoke to Radio Marca about any external factors in the result. He went on to say: "I don't want to think that rugby (has been pre-arranged) to put us out. When we were assigned Romanian officials, we were shocked. But this is rugby, the values are assumed.
The appointment of match officials for this competition are handled by Rugby Europe, rather than World Rugby. It is understood that Rugby Europe will review the match, as is established practice, and only after any findings are made public may World Rugby comment.
Romania now head into Pool A at the World Cup, alongside hosts Japan, Six Nations champions Ireland, Scotland and whoever wins the final play-off place – which, as mentioned above, could be Spain.
What makes this all the more noteworthy is that last week Romania boss Lynn Howells stepped down from his position when it looked like the Romanians would miss out on automatic qualification. After making the call, Howells said: "It was not an easy decision to take. The last five years have been very beautiful, there have been many years of beautiful sporting adventure with a beautiful team.

Is the any similar feature in Phoenix framework? Or caching is different in Elixir?

A: Use Cachex:
result = %{a => 1}
Cachex.set(:apicache,  "ajax" , result, [ ttl: :timer.seconds(1800)])
Cachex.get(:apicache, "ajax")

A: I don't think there's a cache specifically for Phoenix; however I'm not as expert on Phoenix as I am on other aspects of Elixir.  That said there is this: https://github.com/sasa1977/con_cache
Normally if I were wanting a cache for any Elixir app I'd check https://hex.pm first.
