A fast-paced espionage thriller that is smashingly engaging.
A wounded young man (Matt Damon) is rescued from the Mediterranean by some fishermen. In his back, he has two bullets and a capsule encoded with a Swiss bank account number. The injury to his body is nothing compared to the trauma of not being able to remember who he is or why he was floating in the sea. Without any clues to his identity, this amnesia victim heads off to Zurich where he finds a safe deposit box filled with a variety of passports, a gun, and stacks of money from several countries. He decides his name must be Jason Bourne, and that he lives in Paris.
On the streets of the city, he is followed. The resourceful young man escapes into the American consulate only to find the security forces there are after him as well. He luckily happens upon Marie (Franka Potente) who accepts his offer of $10,000 to drive him to Paris. This German vagabond is carrying a heavy load of burdens herself and needs the money.
Meanwhile at CIA headquarters, Ted Conklin (Chris Cooper) is furious when he learns that one of his operatives — Jason Bourne — has eluded all attempts to capture him. He has bungled a hit on an African leader who is now ready to blow the horn on the CIA's clandestine operations. Conklin is under pressure from his superior (Brian Cox) to clean up this mess. He immediately contacts other assassins in Europe, who are trained in the same skills as Bourne.
Little by little, Bourne learns more about himself. He discovers that he instinctively knows the best escape route out of any room and is always assessing situations for danger. After he goes to his large Paris apartment, he realizes that people are after him. He is astonished to discover his physical prowess in hand-to-hand combat. After the African politician is assassinated, he realizes that he is a trained assassin and no one is safe around him. This creates a dilemma for Marie, who has chosen to run with him.
The Bourne Identity is based on a 1980 espionage thriller by Robert Ludlum, which was turned into a 1988 miniseries on ABC television starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith. Doug Liman directs this fast-paced thriller in which Bourne struggles to reassemble the puzzle of his life while being attacked from all sides. Matt Damon proves he can be an action star in addition to playing the sensitive and vulnerable roles he's done before.
Two thematic elements lift this espionage tale a cut above others in the genre. First, all of us can identify with the protagonist's quest to find out his real identity. The culture has given us many resources dealing with past life experiences. Can you picture yourself as a warrior in a tribe of aboriginals or as a writer in Renaissance Italy? Could you be a spy? Second, the screenplay by Tony Gilroy and William Blake Herron never lets us forget that Bourne, the loose-cannon operative, was once an amoral assassin just like the ones who are pursuing him. In The Bourne Identity there is no "us" versus "them". This ethical perspective is one that needs to be given repeated hearings in our present-day world.
The DVD edition has an audio track with director Doug Liman in which he comments on casting, adapting the book, and shooting on location. There are also a few deleted scenes, a "making of" featurette, and an alternate ending.

Review: Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration, Covent Garden
Located within a two minute walk of Charing Cross station or five minutes from London's most famous piazza in Covent Garden, you will find Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration. Strengthening the already established London portfolio paying homage to Jules Verne's most legendary explorer's adventures, Mr Fogg's Society takes you on a thrilling journey inspired by Around The World in 80 Days.
In true Inception Group style, the Covent Garden venue includes a fully kitted out train carriage, map room and hidden wonders that stretch from a mouth watering selection of canapes and bowl food to some of the most adventurous cocktails in London.
We hosted a group of Personal and Executive Assistants from the local area to explore the venue described by the team as a true travel hub, where death-defying exploits and adventures are plotted and planned.
Entering via an elegant lobby with an oversized rotating globe marking the places visited and modes of transport that Mr Fogg and his trusty companion Passepartout took, you are transported from modern day city life to the sophistication of 1873. Moving downstairs you encounter cabinets of curiosities, souvenirs and artefacts handpicked by fellows of the explorer society.
The main bar area features wooden panelling, shelves laden with travel books and encyclopedias, and warm leather armchairs to welcome weary travellers. There are two private area options including a life-sized model of a Victorian Train Carriage, complete with banquette seating and gleaming brass lamps where passengers can let off steam over a libation or two.
Alternatively, the Map Room (also available for private hire) houses a collection of both antique and modern-day maps, hosts regular evening events with a resident explorer (think Bear Grylls and other famous faces), and also offers global drinking adventures, from cocktail masterclasses to spirit safaris. It is truly a place for experiments and innovation, and gives you the chance to watch the marvellous cocktail making machine in action, The Mechanical Mixologist, inspired by famous inventor Rube Goldberg.
The groundbreaking, multi-sensory menu takes the form of an explorer's journal charting the feats of fellows across nine extraordinary areas of Earth. Each chapter focuses on one location, ranging from ancient man-made creations to wonders of the natural world. You will soar above the palms of the Sahara Desert, shiver at the sub-zero temperatures of The North Pole and plummet to the depths of The Great Barrier Reef.
Wondering exactly how you can get your team to this sensational venue? Our recommendation is that Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration is perfect for team events and general visits alike. Whether you are planning a leaving do, need a Christmas party location with the wow-factor or a regular watering hole for your Exec/client meetings, Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration gets the seal of approval from us!

Summary - I need to write down what has just happened. I need to set down the truth. If I write lies or if I write nothing at all, this journal is worthless. I must do this, in case anything happens. All right. This is what happened tonight, every single terrible thing that I can remember . . .
When Sophie receives a leather-bound journal for her sixteenth birthday, she decides to write about her day-to-day life on the island. But it is 1936 and the world is in turmoil. Does the arrival of two strangers threaten everything Sophie holds dear?
Review - A Brief History of Montmaray is a like a fantastic soup -a hearty stock, warm and dense, clean flavours and a overwhelming feeling on satisfaction when you're done.
Told through the diary entries of Sophie, we see her amazing shambles of a home through her unaffected and self confessed, subjective eyes. I really liked Sophie, she's completely lacking of specialness (in her own eyes anyway) and yet undergoes this completely natural progression in maturity throughout the book's pages.
Each character is extremely well formed, their motivations clear, personalities strong and unique. Even the castle (sorry, I meant reinforced house) has a distinct presence that permeates the story. I could see Cooper's imagined world in my head; I tiptoed over the rickety drawbridge and plonked chamberpots under the roof leaks. The world of Montmaray was startlingly real.
To continue with the soup metaphor, reading this books is like ladling huge, delightful spoonfuls of character, intrigue, romance and action into your brain. I learned more about history, literature and the human condition in three hundred pages than I have in quite awhile (please don't judge me). Cooper has managed to weave The Great War, sexuality, mental illness, abandonment, familial responsibility and murder into Sophie's ramblings without it ever feeling contrived. To say that I am keen to read the continuing stories of the family would be an understatement.
While I wouldn't call myself a romantic or an adventurer, A Brief History of Montmaray definitely appealed to those long buried (perhaps non existent) qualities in me. A great read and a worthy winner of the Ethel Turner Prize.


The movies on Flix will all be exclusive to that platform for at least a year. The idea is for the films to be released on the service, rather than at the cinema. Again this sounds like straight to DVD failures, but should actually be handpicked gems. Baring in mind that big studios are pushing out multi-million pound turd-cakes topped with lashings of CGI, money clearly doesn't mean everything.
Flex Premiere will be available online plus on iOS and Android in the US and UK first with plans to expand to Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Spain at the end of May. Pricing for new releases is expected to be about £4 per film.


I haven't done one of these in aaaages.
Please note that doing the census requires hours of me trawling through the database (since we don't have powerful enough search functions), so there will likely be inaccuracies due to human error.
Familiars, levels and powers/traits to follow.

If you are anything like me you are spending the last month of the year trying to pull everything in your life together; from finances, to home décor, to general yearend clean up. Oh, the joy of it all.
Before we take off running into the new year, let's take a step back and reflect on the many things we experienced in the last year.
We began 2018 covering some difficult topics. We discussed the struggles associated with going through divorce. We explored the differences between Mediation and Arbitration and how to overcome domestic violence. We addressed parenting disputes in high conflict environments and the possibility of appealing the Court's ruling on your case. We paved the path for dealing with complex financial issues and even addressed Social Security and Retirement.
Now that we are approaching the very end of 2018, Owens & Perkins, P.C. would like to take a break from the difficult topics and educate everyone on a few things that might make your life just a little bit easier.
making sure you are prepared for the new rules to fly domestically.
If you could use some tips to make your life easier, follow our blogs this month, there will be a new post every Friday.
In the meantime, take some time to relax and to appreciate the little (and big) wins from 2018.
Owens & Perkins, P.C. wishes you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season.

by MICHAEL BOWEN & r & & r & & lt;span class= "dropcap " & T & lt;/span & he touring musical version of the Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore movie, The Wedding Singer (at the INB Center, Nov. 27-Dec. 2) centers on a love quadrangle set in New Jersey in 1985. Linda dumps Robbie at the altar because he's merely singing at wedding receptions instead of being a rock star. Depressed, Robbie acts out by ruining other people's weddings -- where he meets a waitress named Julia. But she's engaged to a rich stockbroker named Glen. Can you guess whether Robbie and Julia will find true love after singing the musical's '80s-style lyrics (by Chad Beguelin) and dancing to the show's '80s-style music (by Matthew Sklar)?
Speaking by phone from Louisville, Ky., the Wedding Singer himself, Merritt David Janes, answered all our Duran Duran-related, really-gotta-know questions.
Could your mullet beat up Adam Sandler's mullet?
My mullet is from Vermont and his is from New Hampshire. So it'd be an all-New England battle.
You were born in 1981. What could you possibly remember about the '80s?
Well, we researched the era. I listened to a lot of Eddie Van Halen, a lot of Def Leppard, Iron Maiden.
Out of everything you learned about '80s pop culture, what seems most ridiculous?
A lot of the leg warmers and glitter-rock stuff. You look at that and you think, "What the hell were they thinking?!" A lot of those band guys in the '80s -- their hair got so long, it had this kind of weird feminine quality. Yeah, judging from their hair, '80s rockers were all trying to look like the psycho killer in The Silence of the Lambs.
In rehearsal, did the choreographer ever say, "This is exactly how they did it in the '80s"?
Well, it's all '80s moves, the entire show. But the most blatant is in the "Thriller" sequence, when we do the claws and the zombie moves. There are little references to the '80s thrown in all through. So if you lived through the '80s and loved the '80s -- or even if you hated the '80s -- you're going to chuckle all the way through.
Yeah, that's still in the show.
As Rosie the grandmother, Penny Larsen does a dance routine. What are the hip-hop moves that she can bust and you can't?
Oh god, those belly flops. She's playing a woman in her 70s, and she does belly rolls on the floor. And I don't wanna give it away, but you're gonna laugh when you see her breakdance moves.
Yeah, I'm livin' the rock star moment. When I'm up there with my guitar, I'm trying to channel two famous movies: Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future -- the time he's onstage in 1955 and he's playing an '80s guitar solo -- and the second one I use is when Bill and Ted have their Excellent Adventure. Because they idolized Van Halen and Iron Maiden and those guys.
Do you flaunt that guitar like a phallic object?
A lot of those '80s rock guys used their guitars in that way. But we're a PG-13 show. So my relationship with my guitar is mostly a musical one.
Is it really true that when you tried out for Wedding Singer, you were just trying to get some experience in auditioning?
And you got the part -- a real fairy-tale ending for you. Do you draw on that in the finale?
After 83 shows, to be a real performer, you have to make it fresh every night, 'cause it's always the first night for the audience.
We're like virgins, touched for the very first time.
Exactly. And so as an actor, whenever you play a fairy tale ending, sure, I use some of the satisfaction I got from getting this role.
Has being in the show changed your experience of real-life weddings?
Several of my friends are getting married in the next few months, and I'll be going. Let's just say doing this show has enlarged my already huge feelings of anxiety -- as in, "I hope to hell she says yes." You know, when they get to the part about, "Does anyone know any reason this couple should not be together?" -- you just hope the drunken uncle shuts up. Because there are so many chances for a wedding to go wrong. And even if the wedding goes off without a hitch -- well, you know, then you gotta stay married.
The Wedding Singer will scream power-chords of love at the INB Center on Tuesday-Thursday, Nov. 27-29, at 7:30 pm; Friday, Nov. 30, at 8 pm; Saturday, Dec. 1, at 2 pm and 8 pm; and Sunday, Dec. 2, at 1 pm and 6:30 pm. Tickets: $30-$60. Visit www.ticketswest.com or call 325-SEAT.

The Garden Left Behind: a Moving Representation of the Life of a Trans Latina Woman in New York City
By Sarah Jacobs | 10 September, 2020
@SarahJSJacobs
Towards the beginning of The Garden Left Behind (2019, dir. Flavio Alves), Tina, a young Mexican trans woman in New York City, is undertaking a pre-transition assessment. Her doctor asks, "Are there issues in your life that might complicate the transition process?" Where to start? The obstacles facing Tina are immense. From negotiating her feelings about her transition and her grandmother and boyfriend's reactions to it, to finding ways to make money as an undocumented migrant, Tina has a huge load on her shoulders. The Garden Left Behind is a necessary and important look at what it feels like to be Latinx and trans in the harsh environment of New York City.
The overwhelming feeling one gets watching Tina's story is likely intentional, given that the film's aim is to document the sheer determination trans people like Tina must have to survive in the world, even if Tina herself has support from friends and, initially at least, her boyfriend. As the film progresses, Tina's chances at a happy life get slimmer and slimmer.
The film's director Flavio Alves had to hustle to bring this film to light; interestingly The Garden Left Behind was the first independent film to be partially crowdfunded through eBay. And it paid off, with the film picking up several awards, including an Audience Award at South by Southwest Festival in 2019.
But what really makes The Garden Left Behind special is not its unusual fundraising, but rather, its authentic casting. Given many controversies in recent years about trans roles in feature films not being filled by trans actors, it should be celebrated that this film features a large cast of trans actors, including a debut by Carlie Guevara, who plays Tina. Guevara brings across Tina's difficulties in playing many different roles, as a grandchild, breadwinner, girlfriend, friend, patient and activist so well, switching between Spanish and English throughout the film. The film's director said the following in a Q&A about researching the film:
We were lucky enough to have the Trans Filmmakers Project join the production team of our film, providing us with a large pool of transgender representation behind the camera, so that they could gain experience making media that will eventually help them to develop stories of their own. In addition to TFP, a long list of other fantastic organizations helped support the film, including GLAAD, who took us under their wing and provided special trainings for our crew of actors, advocates, and allies. For me, as a queer Latinx filmmaker, the idea is always to bring everybody I can to the table to work together […] to elevate various voices from marginalized communities that are otherwise often overlooked.
Flavio Alves
There is joy, fun and friendship in this unsentimental film, and it's touching to watch how Tina and her grandmother live together in a tiny apartment bursting with objects and decorations from Mexico. There's a cute scene where Tina buys a vacuum cleaner as a present for her grandmother, who can't understand the English instructions, and a fun birthday party scene where Tina's friends show her – and show Tina's grandmother too – that she is loved and valued, at a moment when she's feeling increasingly sceptical of her boyfriend's feelings for her. But the film doesn't shy away from depicting emotional and physical violence. Alves spoke about the impossibility of making a film about trans lives in the USA without recognising the violence that this community faces: violence which, in the case of one devastating and confusing scene at the end of the film, is borne out of fear of people who we don't understand. And it's this awareness of violence that makes the viewer scared at many points in the film. For example, the simple sale of Tina's car to a stranger left me feeling terrified, then relieved, when the sale goes ahead without the confrontation I was fearing. When just walking down the street can be dangerous, the film makes it clear how brave Tina has to be to work as a taxi driver and bartender in New York, struggling to find ways to make money as an undocumented migrant. Alves commented on the depiction of violence in the film:
We interviewed several trans women who helped us to shape Tina's storyline. And while we acknowledge that the transgender experience is different for everyone, interesting enough, nearly every person we interviewed, especially trans women of colour, had experienced some sort of violence, including physical, verbal, and emotional. And, although we are aware that some of the scenes we have in the film could be hard to watch and might trigger emotional response; on the other hand, we think we would be doing a disservice if we had eliminated the violence from the conversation.
There were a couple of things I found difficult to like about The Garden Left Behind. One concerns a storyline about a man who works at a grocery store near Tina's apartment; his anger towards Tina feels confusing and unmotivated and I felt his storyline detracted from hers. The other is the dialogue of the film. In an effort to fit a lot of plot into an 88-minute feature, some conversations feel too obvious, with characters having to say what's going on or how they feel in sometimes clumsy dialogue instead of being given the space to show this. And there's a scene where Tina's grandmother finally starts to use her grandchild's chosen name that feels overdone. But perhaps this 'overdialogue' also chimes with the situations Tina and her friends have to go through, having to openly share their stories over and over again, whether with doctors assessing their eligibility for gender reassignment, with people who can't recognise their gender is not the one on their ID, or with the media, when yet another friend becomes the victim of transphobic violence.
The Garden Left Behind allows viewers to really see trans lives on screen in an intimate, moving and important way.
The Garden Left Behind is available to stream on iTunes, Amazon, and other on demand platforms.

The Romanian government has signed an agreement with the U.S. Army for additional Patriot capability. The purchase includes an undisclosed quantity of Raytheon GEM-T interceptors for use with the Patriot® Air and Missile Defense Systems. The procurement is being conducted via the U.S. Department of Defense's foreign military sales process, a press release by Raytheon informs.
Minister of National Defence Gabriel Leş has announced on Friday that Romania has purchased the third lot of missiles for the Patriot system, worth USD 85 million.
"In the field of endowment programmes, I would like to highlight the Patriot programme, for which we signed in February the third amendment to the letter of acceptance. The amendment relates to the purchase of missiles for the Patriot system – the corresponding payment of about USD 85 million made on March 13," said Gabriel Leş, as quoted by the local media.
The dignitary recalled that this major Army endowment programme was signed in December 2017 by a 'government to government' agreement. It aims the first Patriot system and the staff training. In October 2018, major equipment related to systems 2, 3 and 4 were contracted by signing amendment no. 2.
The Defence Minister also spoke about another missile endowment programme, the "HIMARS" multi-launcher, for which the second system will be purchased by the end of the month.
Patriot is a defensive system that is the backbone of Europe and NATO's defense against lower tier ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, advanced aircraft and drones.
"The GEM-T interceptor missile will give Romania unmatched defensive capability against a host of advanced threats in the arsenals of aggressive, hostile powers," said Mike Ellison, Raytheon's country manager for Romania.
All of Romania's Patriot fire units will be newly built. And although it shares the same name and external appearance as the Patriot system that defended NATO during the Cold War, the system has been completely modernized.
"The missiles we will build for Romania will have Gallium Nitride components, a cutting edge technology that extends the missile's life and makes the system more reliable," said Michelle DeMaio, Raytheon's Romania Patriot program manager.

If you choose to go by train or bus, - a ferry from Surat Thani or Chumporn will be required to complete this journey.
Songserm Ferry runs on the route between Surat Thani - Koh Samui - Koh Phangan Koh Tao and Chumporn.
Songserm Ferry rates are cheaper than Lomprayah but the travel time is longer.
The ferry from Surat Thani departures from Donsak pier, about 1 hour drive from the center of the town where the travel agencies are located.

People who watch too many television Detective Shows probably believe the BS, but anyone with a little bit of a science background sees right through the scam!
I downloaded the whole series of Penn and Teller but only watched the first episode and really didn't care for it. I can't wait to watch that episode though. Have you ever watched the series "Lie To Me"? The first two seasons are supposedly relatively accurate and deal with the science but then it goes off track and makes a ploy for ratings. There is also a series called HOUSE OF LIES. I've only watched the first episode so far but it totally blew me away. It is a Showtime series based on the book, "House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time " and it is one of the funniest shows I've ever watched.
You convinced me. Popular Mechanics are the ones that put out all that crap trying to say 9-11 commission's fairy tale version was correct. If there is any science at all about it then it's probably being used to help politicians lie. Not to detect when they are doing it.

Popular Mechanics can speak with some authority regarding the collapse of a building after it was hit by a jetliner. But when it comes to detecting lies, that's way outside their area of expertise. Sure they can include an article written by a supposed expert (or shill for those trying to make a buck off the lie-detecting scam), but one has to wonder why would they include an article on a topic which isn't relevant to mechanics? Could it be that no reputable journal relevant to the topic would accept the editorial? It seems like an insult to those who read and subscribe to Popular Mechanics to include an article like that. It would be like subscribing to Gardening Today and seeing an article about ____(insert a topic that is totally and completely irrelevant to gardening)_____.
Concise explanation as to why it's next to impossible to tell if someone is lying. Polygraph machines are just bunk based on junk science and people who administer those tests are either fools who believe the BS fed to them by the companies that make the machines, or else they are quite simply LIARS!!!!
The only way I can tell if someone is lying is to catch them with video or something fool proof. But there is supposedly a real science behind deception.
surfsteve wrote: The only way I can tell if someone is lying is to catch them with video or something fool proof. But there is supposedly a real science behind deception.
NOPE! That show is just the same old BS dressed up slightly differently. Micro-expressions have been debunked pretty soundly as nothing but junk science. Just because the FBI happens to consider this useful doesn't mean much, they still use the polygraph! These are just tools of intimidation which are effectively used against ignorant people who have no science background. The way the ploy works is that a supposed expert claims that he knows that the suspect is lying (either based on polygraph results or by studying micro-expressions caught on video tape) and the suspect "realizes" that he/she won't succeed in deceiving these "savvy" detectives and so the suspect confesses. There's a reason that micro-expressions and polygraphs can't be used in a court of law. They have been shown (rather mercilessly) to be complete and utter BS. Shows like the one you're talking about are just propaganda encouraged (funded) by companies that profit from this sort of thing. The fact that Popular Mechanics actually ran an editorial professing that micro-expressions were of value speaks rather poorly of the author of the editorial and of the magazine.
At the show's center is Cal Lightman (Tim Roth), a scientist whose expertise is detecting and interpreting "micro" expressions—involuntary facial expressions that last just a moment—a useful skill if you want to want to figure out whether someone's lying, and why. Lightman runs a consulting firm from which he and three supporting characters traverse the Washington, D.C., area solving mysteries for the police, FBI and pretty much any other client who needs a lie detector.
It is completely inaccurate to refer to Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) as a scientist since real scientists would never waste time on something as poorly defined and subjective as micro-expressions. While this Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) might pretend to be a scientist and gullible members of the general public might buy into the show, anyone capable of generating alternate hypotheses sees through the BS pretty quickly! This Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) is either a moron who really believes the BS he's pedaling or he's a liar (as pointed out earlier by another poster in regards to the polygraph).
This video was posted to the old thread and it does a pretty good job of debunking the value of the polygraph. Polygraphy is junk science and deep down most people realize this, but they get pressured into cooperating with the fake experts who administer these tests and the powers that be that insist on such cooperation. It's a pathetically stupid waste of time, but bureaucracies have no problem wasting time on useless activities!
Polygraphs have been shown to be accurate slightly more than 50% of the time. (That means that half the time it's just plain straight out wrong! You could flip a coin and get equally reliable results!) Yet polygraph examiners usually claim an accuracy rate of 95%. I guess that just goes to show who the real liars are!!!


Bike shuts off when blipping the throttle on cold starts.
I have a 2016 kx450f and when I blip the throttle when I start the bike cold it makes a pop sound (not a back fire) and shuts off. I can rev it slowly a couple times and once warm it stops doing this. Is it normal?

I always use the choke for 10-15 sec hot or cold days. Then idle about 30sec.
Remember that there is no thermostaton MX bikes so it takes a longer time than the avarege Joe thinks to get the engine/oil warm.
Just think how long it takes for a car with 4 cylinders AND a thermostat, for the water temp to raise.

The Amazing & Astonishing RPS Advent Calendar: Day 13
Feature by RPS Hivemind
Published on 13 Dec, 2013
They could rebuild it. They had the technology. Better, stronger, faster.
It's XCOM: Enemy Within!
Alec:
Some of you - especially the pillocks who can't stop themselves believing that someone really enjoying a videogame must be for sinister or corrupt reasons - may be relieved to hear that, having written a small novel's worth of words about XCOM over the past couple of years, I now can't think of a thing more to say. XCOM is good. I like XCOM. The XCOM expansion is good. I like the XCOM expansion. Good. XCOM. Good. Expansion. Um.
(It is safe to say that I'd probably be a candidate for having my arms chopped off and my torso stuck into a tin can were I an XCOM operative, rather than one of the guys who gets selected for augmentation with amazing brain powers. I'm OK with that.)
Part of me's slightly uncomfortable that I close out a second year running with XCOM as my most played game by far - I hate to be a stick in the mud. Most of me, the celebratory part rather than the cynical one, is absolutely delighted to have been given more of a good thing, this smart-yet-boisterous remix that breathed dozens of hours of new life into a game I thought I'd exhausted. I must admit that the proposed changes and additions sounded chaotic and excessive on paper, but in practice they make so much sense, and wring a new game out of the same structure.
Another, greedier part of me, fervently hopes that same thing happens again next year, that there'll be a second expansion which does for XCOM's sadly flaccid late-game (and that bloody satellite mess) what Enemy Within did for the early/mid stages. Then I worry about what the hell I'm going to find to say for a third year running.
Adam: XCOM: Enemy Unknown could have been eviscerated, dissected on the internet's butcher's slab. As a reimagining of one of the PC's most beloved properties, there was always the danger that it would attract packs of angry fans, furious at every change. All things considered, it managed to avoid that fate and the Enemy Within expansion takes it farther away from its source material. XCOM is a distinct thing now, a sort of superheroes vs monsters sci-fi spectacular, where augmented humans bound from rooftop to rooftop, and monstrous mechanoids clash in a whirlwind of sparks and fire.
Enemy Within doesn't simply add bulk to the game, it adds definition. The multiple routes that soldiers can be ushered along make the smaller squad a more sensible choice, with every individual capable of changing the tide. They are still vulnerable and the game can still be cruel, but moments of triumphant heroism are more frequent, even if I still worry about the fate of my soldiers when the war is won.
I worried that fighting against human enemies would distract from the invasion but EXALT are a fine check to the bravado that can infect a commander leading a squad of mechanised warriors. Infiltration missions strip away advanced armour and weaponry, and caution is always necessary when fighting the flank-hungry bastards during an extraction.
Even Meld requires changed tactics. I say 'even Meld' because I initially found the idea of a disintegrating, timed resource extremely silly, fearing it would be clumsy way to force daft and daring dashes across the battlefield. It does provide a prompt push into action but, again, it's a necessary one, making even the older maps seem new when plans sometimes shift so dramatically.
Firaxis, as they've proved with Civ V's evolution, are good at making expansions that are both content-rich and relevant. Enemy Within has allowed their designers to make this XCOM a distinct and challenging piece of work that very much stands on its own two (heavily augmented) feet. In an odd way, it feels like a zoomed in focus on the skirmishes of a larger war - a feeling that I never had with the original X-COM - but that's not to the game's detriment. Wisely, a great deal of Within's work is concentrated on the agents themselves, ensuring that no matter how loud and complex the battle becomes, it has a human heart.
And, finally, a diverse set of voices. I'm still waiting for the expletive-sitting British language pack though.
Back to the Calendar!

Un reflectòmetre de domini temporal, TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer) o reflectòmetre de domini de temps, és un instrument electrònic usat per a diagnosticar i localitzar els defectes en cables metàl·lics (per exemple, els parells trenats de coure, cables coaxials) i, en xarxes de fibra òptica (amb un altre tipus anomenat OTDR). Són imprescindibles per a la conservació i manteniment de línies de telecomunicació. Amb ells es poden detectar augments dels nivells de la resistència en connexions i connectors que es corroeixen, i disminució d'aïllament per degradació i absorció de la humitat, etc. Els TDRS són instruments també molt útils per a mesures de manteniment, on ajuden a determinar l'existència i la ubicació d'empalmaments de cable. Les aplicacions noves de TDX inclouen aïllar els punts d'error.

Fonament

Un TDX emet un impuls molt curt en el temps (semblant a l'impuls que enviat un Radar). Si el conductor és d'una impedància uniforme i està apropiadament acabat, l'impuls transmès s'absorbirà en la terminació final i no es reflectirà cap senyal de tornada cap al TDX. En canvi, si hi ha discontinuïtats d'impedància, cada discontinuïtat crearà un eco que es reflectirà cap al TDX (d'aquí el seu nom). Els augments en la impedància creen un eco que reforça l'impuls original, mentre que les disminucions en la impedància creen un eco que s'oposa l'impuls original. El resultat de l'impuls mesurat a la sortida/entrada al TDX es representa o mostra com una funció del temps i, atès que la velocitat de la propagació del senyal és relativament constant per a una impedància donada, pot ser llegit com una funció de la longitud de cable. Això és semblant en el seu funcionament al del radar.

A causa d'aquesta sensibilitat a les variacions en la impedància, un TDX es pot utilitzar per verificar les característiques d'impedància, les ubicacions d'empalmaments i connectors, i les pèrdues associada en un cable, estimant tant la longitud d'aquest, com cada discontinuïtat del cable que serà detectada com un senyal en forma d'eco.

Indicació de curt
Per veure-ho de forma simple, considerem el cas trivial on l'extrem final del cable es curtcircuita (és a dir, acaba en una impedància de zero ohms). Quan la riba creixent de l'impuls es llança a través del cable, el voltatge en el punt que llança els impulsos arriba a un valor instantani donat, i l'impuls comença a propagar-se a través del cable. Quan l'impuls arriba al curt, no s'absorbeix cap energia a l'extrem final. En comptes d'això, un impuls oposat es reflecteix cap enrere. Quan el reflex oposat arriba al punt de llançament, el voltatge En aquest punt augmenta bruscament, assenyalant que hi ha un curt al final del cable. És a dir, al TDX no té indicació que hi ha un curt al final del cable fins que l'impuls emès hagi viatjat pel cable-aproximadament a la velocitat de la llum - i l'eco hagi tornat a la mateixa velocitat. Després d'aquest temps d'anada i tornada, el curt pot ser detectat pel TDX. Coneixent la velocitat de propagació del senyal en el cable, s'obté d'aquesta manera la distància a la qual es produeix el curt.

Indicació de circuit obert
Una cosa semblant passa si l'extrem distant del cable és un circuit obert (acaba en una impedància infinita). En aquest cas, el reflex de l'extrem distant es polaritza idènticament a l'impuls original i afegeix el cancel·lant anteriorment. Així que, després d'una demora de viatge d'anada i tornada, el voltatge al TDX salta bruscament a dues vegades el voltatge inicialment aplicat.

Una terminació perfecta teòrica a l'extrem distant del cable, absorbiria enterament l'impuls aplicat sense causar cap reflex. En aquest cas, seria impossible determinar la longitud del cable. Afortunadament, les terminacions perfectes són molt rares i gairebé sempre es produeix algun petit reflex.

La magnitud del reflex s'anomena "coeficient de reflex"; que pot ser relacionat amb la proporció de la impedància nominal del sistema contra la impedància veritable en cada discontinuïtat.

Airport Fire grows to 3,900 acres in largest California wildfire of the year
Blaze started Wednesday about 4 p.m. in Inyo County
By Jason Green and Summer Lin | slin@bayareanewsgroup.com |
PUBLISHED: February 17, 2022 at 2:58 p.m. | UPDATED: February 17, 2022 at 3:02 p.m.
INYO COUNTY — At a time of year when regular rains previously made significant wildfire unthinkable, crews continued Thursday to battle the Airport Fire, which had burned almost 4,000 acres east of Bishop, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The blaze was reported Wednesday just after 4 p.m. near Airport Road and East Line Street. By 8:40 p.m., the fire had consumed 1,500 acres.
The blaze stayed active overnight and had scorched 3,900 acres by midday Thursday, making it the state's largest wildfire of the year, according to Cal Fire spokesperson Alison Hesterly.
Winds were expected to remain steady and continue at 10 to 15 miles per hour from the northwest.
The fire has threatened 150 structures, prompting some fire crews to move into protection mode, but there had not been any reports of damage by early afternoon, Hesterly said. No injuries were reported.
Evacuation orders had been issued for the White Mountain Research Center and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, Cal Fire said. Big Pine east of Highway 395 was also under a mandatory evacuation order, according to the Inyo County Sheriff's Office. Warm Springs Road and Highway 168 east of Highway 395 had also been shuttered due to the fire.
An evacuation shelter was available at the Bishop Senior Center at 506 Park Ave., in Bishop.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

The Network File System (NFS) version 4 is a distributed filesystem protocol which owes heritage to NFS protocol version 2, RFC 1094, and version 3, RFC 1813. Unlike earlier versions, the NFS version 4 protocol supports traditional file access while integrating support for file locking and the mount protocol. In addition, support for strong security (and its negotiation), compound operations, client caching, and internationalization have been added. Of course, attention has been applied to making NFS version 4 operate well in an Internet environment.

NRA sues San Francisco over terrorist declaration
By AP |
Posted: Tue 10:25 AM, Sep 10, 2019
SAN FRANCISCO, Ca -- The National Rifle Association has sued San Francisco where city officials recently declared the gun-rights lobby a terrorist organization. The NRA says in its lawsuit that the city is infringing on its free speech rights and is seeking to blacklist anyone associated with it.
The lawsuit was filed Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Last week, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution calling the NRA a "domestic terrorist organization." The resolution followed some recent high-profile shootings, including one in Gilroy, California, where a gunman entered a festival with an AK-style long gun, killing three people and injuring 17 before killing himself.

So the world's most famous investment bank has announced it's cutting ten percent of its workforce. I'm not sure why the media has made such a big deal about this announcement – I was under the impression that the world's greatest bastion of "meritocracy" has always had regular culls to weed out the "non-performers" and those who were "the wrong cultural fit" (for the latter read: "didn't buy into the whole corporate cult thing").
But imagine if you were one of those ten percent. Or one of the tens of thousands of other bankers who've recently found themselves on the receiving end of a P45 (or pink slip for US readers).
Worse still, imagine waking up one day only to find that the bank you work for is now owned by the government. Over night you've gone from Master Of The Universe to minor civil servant – minus the juicy public sector pension, of course.
But wouldn't your pain be all the more if you'd believed all along that you'd been working in a "meritocracy"? If you'd been encouraged to think it was your own innate, inimitable talent that got you the job at the world's most famous investment bank?
And you'd bought the line sold by your similarly remunerated colleagues that you all really did deserve those million-pound bonuses and that promotion to Master Of The Universe status.
Now it turns out that your success wasn't because you were special. Like everyone else, you've just been hitching a very lucrative ride on the back of the biggest market bubble history has ever seen.
Just like that last M&A deal you did, your career was as fuelled by lax credit as it was your putative talent. And now both the deals and your career are being sucked into the black hole of deleverage.
But here's something else that none of your colleagues ever let you in on – no doubt because they never knew the truth themselves.
The word "meritocracy" wasn't invented by one of your own to describe the true and right state of affairs.
It was coined by the sociologist Michael Young in his 1958 satirical essay, The Rise of the Meritocracy. Yes, you read that right – satirical. The formula "I.Q. + effort = MERIT" was a big, if deadly serious, joke.
Young's "meritocracy" was originally a pejorative term, describing a dystopian world in which the elite use the idea of I.Q. + effort to maintain their position – though not forever, according to his predictions.
So if you're an ex-banker and you're wondering what to do with all that extra time on your hands, perhaps you should consider giving Young's book a read?

В двух словах о жизни: Paraliminals - what is it?
Paraliminals - what is it?
Recently I checked out one of my favorite web-sites for some relaxing ideas. This time it was Steve Pavlina's resource, and I came accross section devoted to Paraliminal audio. Became wondered - what is it?I read the article and got interested - how this can work? Interesting topics for self development and relaxation. The idea is that you hear specially arranged audio tracks where music and 2 voices are combined in a special way. And what is extremely interesting that these two vioces you hear simultaneously, one voice for each ear. So you should have stereo earphones for that.
To some extent I was ironic to that idea, but still very curious how it works. It was an evening and I wantedjust to relax after crazy workday. I selected the topic "Deep Relaxation" - it plays about 35 minutes. I went to bed and put my earphones on, switched the player... From the very beginning I thought that I just won't be able to fall asleep while listening to those voices and music, because it's in English, and it's not my native language. But eventually, after 20 minutes or so I started to feel it confortable and finally fell asleep, and slept well - woke up in the morning, and had a feeling that it was a rest I needed so.
So I guess you can pick some for your taste. Steve Pavlina has only 1 link to download free sample of these sessions, but it's no doubt that you can find others in the net. So, welcome!

Q: Pattern for reusing Android AsnycTask over several Activities? I have several Activity subclasses in my project, each calling a SOAP based web service, processing and displaying the results. The SOAP serialization, the call handling and the parsing of result into various POJO objects is encapsulated in the MyWebService class. This class executes the actual web service call(s) via an AsyncTask.
For being able to pass back the results to the calling Activity subclass, I figured I enforce that all these activities should implement a WebServiceResultProcessor interface, defining a single function (processWebServiceResults) acting as a callback for the AsyncTask, called from onPostExecute.
I also want to display a ProgressDialog during the web service call. And here comes my question. For being able to display the ProgressDialog (either from MyWebService or it's AsyncTask), I need to pass a reference to the caller Activity's Context. And for being able to  execute the callback function from the AsyncTask, I also need to pass the same object reference, but this time as a WebServiceResultProcessor. This seems to me a code smell, passing the same object twice, but can't see any way around that. Instead of interfacing, I could create a new base class, extending the Activity class and enforce inheritance from the extension class, but that would mean I'd exclude ListActivity and the likes from using this MyWebService class.
Is there a better way to do this?

A: +1, a nice question!
This is not a direct answer on your question. However let me say I think AsyncTask is not a right choice for such stuff. I think so because in this case AsyncTask holds a reference to an Activity (via ProgressDialog instance or the callbacks to be called from onPostExecute()).
Just imagine: in Android the OS may kill the Activity before AsyncTask executes its doInBackground(). This is, of course, some sort of a corner case, but it isn't impossible. Consider a scenario: user gets an incoming call, your activity becomes invisible, the OS needs some more RAM and thus it decides to kill your activity. A memory leak case, at least.
I don't know why Google literally hides the info on how UI should be properly separated from background tasks. Yes, they say "use a Service". But it is not a trivial undertaking. It's a pity Google provides nice guides to almost every development topic, but not on this one. Nevertheless I can suggest to check the "Google I/O 2010 - Android REST client applications" presentation for inspiration. Looks like they gave a key on how such things should be done in Android.

A: You may have a look into this blog article (part 1 and part 2), which implements a web service with AsyncTaskLoader and the same web service with a Service component. Furthermore it shows the differences between both approaches and there are also interesting comments to the article.

A: Despite Arhimed's warning, I ended up using AsyncTask, as it still fits my purposes. I just make sure that all Activities calling web services, upon their onDestroy(), send a cancel() to the invoked AsyncTask. The AsyncTask implementation itself gracefully handles the cancel request by checking isCancelled() everywhere where necessary.
As for the original question, I must have had a lapse - the solution is really simple. I pass the Activity subclass instance as an Object to the AsyncTask, and cast it to either Context or to WebServiceResultProcessor, as necessary. Fragments showing how it works:
if (callerActivity instanceof Context) {
    ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog((Context)callerActivity);
}

...
if (callerActivity instanceof WebServiceResultProcessor) {
    ((WebServiceResultProcessor)callerActivity).processWebServiceResults(soapObject);
}

Happy Monday, readers! It's been one week since I shared my February goals with you and so it's about time that I give an update on how I'm doing with my goals.
I was so surprised to see a loss on the scale this morning! I turned 28 on Thursday last week and so the end of the week was a little more indulgent than usual. I went out to dinner with my family on my birthday and then I went out to dinner with my husband at the Cheesecake Factory on Saturday. Even with all that eating out, I still managed to see a loss on the scale! Happy birthday to me!
To celebrate my birthday, I treated myself to a hair cut. I had my hair dresser give me layers and I am so happy with how it turned out. Now that my hair has a little more shape to it, all I have to do in the morning is put a little mousse in my hair and let it air dry. Yes!!
Since I mentioned my Cheesecake Factory date with my husband, I must share what I ate. I had the shrimp scampi entrée with a slice of cookie dough cheesecake for dessert. It was everything I could have ever wanted in a meal. I love the Cheesecake Factory and since it's over an hour away from our house, it's a special treat to go out to eat there.
My mother-in-law watched Piper so Nick and I could go out to dinner that night and go shopping around Legacy Village. We enjoyed walking through all of our favorite shops there (Arhaus, Restoration Hardware and Crate and Barrel). We even went to a little kid's boutique (Janie and Jack). We bought Piper a cute little hat. Piper is obsessed with hats right now and she was so excited when we gave it to her. She said "HAT! HAT!"; it was adorable!
Back tracking to Friday night, we took Piper out to eat at Chick-Fil-A for a quick dinner in between shopping. We bought a kids meal for her for the very first time and she loved it! I love Chick-Fil-A in general but I love them even more for having healthy kids meal options. The grilled chicken was a big hit! Next time we will have to get her the six piece chicken kids meal because she ate the four piece right up!
Later that night, Piper took the term "shop 'til you drop" literally. She fell asleep on the way home and then continued to sleep in my arms for another hour. It was absolute heaven.
Last night's dinner was the first dinner we ate at home since last Wednesday. We took the birthday celebrating seriously and we enjoyed every bit of it, however, it sure was nice to eat a healthy home-cooked meal last night. We had turkey meatloaf with sweet potato fries and asparagus. It was so good and Piper approved!
Now that things are back to normal here, I will be trying to get more consistent with my February goals this week. I'd love to see another loss on the scale this time next week!
Readers, how was your weekend? Did you make any goals for February? How are you doing with your goals?
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a wonderful day :) I love CFA kids' meals too--it's my absolute favorite place to take the kids when we're running around, mostly because they're clean and SO helpful when they see you have small kids with you!

I'll have to think about this one more to see my real take on it, but nevertheless, its a good piece, as are most Victor Davis Hansen pieces.
A SAHM Dad in Tennessee talks of his novel-writing including "Death of a Blogger", gaming, politics, and life in general.
I've written "Death of a Blogger: An Internet Murder Mystery Novel"--the World's First Blogospheric Mystery Novel, and I'm now looking for a dead-tree publisher. I've written "Countercoup" and "Temple of the Dying Sun" which are d20 games, and as a licensee of Valdron Press, the producers of Multiverser: The Game, I've written "Placeholder Worlds for Desperate GM's". I'm currently hard at work on the hopefully final revsion of the SF/Fantasy novel "Worldwalker" which begins a rather extensive series (the sequel is rough drafted).
