Ghost Recon Wildlands March Update will soon roll out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC players. The new free update dubbed as New Assignment is the fourth major free update for the PvP mode, and it includes three new classes(Trapper, Stalker, and Guerrilla), two new maps(Refinery and Cliffside) for Extraction mode, a new map-voting tool, and other gameplay updates.
Ghost Recon Wildlands New Assignment update size will be around 4 GB on Steam, 15 GB on Uplay and up to 15 GB on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Introduced a new feature that allows players to vote for one of three possible maps, each from a different game mode, at the start of every new match. The voting process only takes 15 seconds, and players can see details for each map, including game mode, time of day and weather settings. Map voting is available for both Quickplay and Ranked.
– Tech: The Tech's jammer will not appear on the HUD for the enemy team anymore, as this was giving away the Tech's position. Now the Tech can safely place a jammer without being exposed.
– Mine Defusing: We have introduced the ability for players to defuse enemy mines. By approaching the mine while prone, the mine's detonation range is reduced, allowing you to safely get closer to the mine until the "defuse" prompt appears. Defusing a mine will remove it without alerting its owner.
– Ruins Map: We have reworked the Ruins map to improve its balance. The playable area has been expanded, we added more cover for crossing certain key locations and we relocated most objects on the map, including the spawn locations.
– Institute Map: We changed the Attackers spawn position to add more variety to the map, and moved the hostage cages closer to each other so the Defenders team can move faster from one hostage to the other.
– Penalties: Penalty timeouts have been reduced, as they were too long and severely punished players who were experiencing connection issues.
– Prestige Credits: There was a big discrepancy between players with high Prestige level and players with low Prestige level, concerning the amount of Prestige Credits they earned per level-up. To address this, we now award a flat value of 215 Prestige Credits, no matter the Prestige level (the total sum remains the same). We also gave players the extra amount of Prestige Credits they should have earned with this new system in place, so that everyone now has the correct amount.
– New Tutorial Info: Our tutorials have been updated to include changes to existing features and the introduction of our new classes. Knowledge is power, so make sure you read them!

This means you can now customize your Ghost with Battle Crate Icons in both Ghost War and Campaign modes.

Users might want to consider the "80% rule" when specing out thier wiring needs. For example, to power the 4 10W floods @ 12V we need 3.33 amps.
A quick glance into the tables says we need a #15. Remember we are giving ourselves overhead here so a #16 (rated @3.7amps) would probably do the trick, and be easier to come by.
(Disclaimer: I am NOT an electrican nor an electrical engineer. If there is something incorrect in this post or dangerous, please by all means edit or delete the post.
As I stated in another post, this is what i really like about HolidayCoro. David is not just a vendor, but a teacher and I certainly appreciate all the time and effort put in to the blog, the videos and the how-to's.
You are correct. The problem even with the 80% rule is that it too is just a ball park solution and because of a vast number of issues that affect current flow over wires (temp, voltage, insulation, proximity of wires to each other, fake copper vs real copper, stranded vs solid, etc) that it's really hard for Holiday Lighting people to determine the actual wire gauge needed. This is why I'd recommend the tables and math as a starting point and then testing the final solution to ensure there are no safety or voltage drop issues that could result in low light output or in the worst case, erratic functioning of pixels or controllers.
In the "Current Carrying Capacity" the chart link that says "such as this one" only links to blogger.com, not to a wiring table.
Sorry about that - I've updated the link.
We have updated the link - we did not find more than one invalid link.


or other major Southwestern cities.
In Nob Hill, Downtown, and Old Town many notable new restaurants have opened, offering swank decor and complex and artful variations on modern Southwest, Mediterranean, Asian, and other globally inspired cuisine. A significant Vietnamese population has made that cuisine a star, but Indian, Japanese, Thai, and South American traditions all have a presence, making this New Mexico's best destination for ethnic fare.


NOTED that the Torres Strait Prawn Management Advisory Committee met in June 2015 and recommended the Total Allowable Effort (TAE) be set at 9 200 days for three years starting in 2016.
NOTED that the TAE of 9 200 nights is consistent with the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery Management Plan 2009, Torres Strait Prawn Fishery (TSPF) Harvest Strategy and PZJA sustainability reference points.
AGREED to set the TAE in the TSPF at 9 200 nights for the 2016-2018 fishing seasons.


If you checked out last night's (Oct. 8) episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, you may have noticed an image of Slipknot guitarist / Michael Myers stand-in Mick Thomson assaulting your TV screen. That's because Slipknot ended up being the punchline for a joke about Donald Trump's recent "calm before the storm" quote.
President Trump recently invited a large group of military leaders to the White House. While standing together for a photo op, Trump said, "Maybe it's the calm before the storm," in front of a group of journalists. The media members quickly soiled themselves, pleading with the president to elaborate on his statement, especially since tensions between the U.S. and North Korea have been escalating. Trump refused to say anything more, possibly sending a handful of Americans to their personal underground doomsday bunkers a little earlier than planned.
Not a bad line from John Oliver! Though a Slipknot show is generally seen as more enjoyable than the threat of nuclear warfare.
This continues a pretty solid week for metal references on television, as Slayer was recently the answer for a question about thrash's Big Four on Jeopardy.

A caller into ABC Radio recently said it best, "Snowflakes melt in the heat" The Territory is made up of so many colourful people with a unique scene of humour. We want you to share that with everyone and introduce them to the best Territory in the world. So when are we gonna CU in the NT?


Relying on a piece of string to prevent you falling to your death while completing a variety of tasks isn't considered everyone's cup of tea but, for the Industrial Rope Access qualified team at Adventure Southland, it's another fun day out hanging in the harness.
Our team were approached some time ago about completing a few hard to reach jobs as an alternative to other means of access that were either too costly or too difficult. Because we were well versed in not falling off things on purpose and could tie a Figure 8 knot, employers thought 'why not see if Adventure Southland can access it?'. We managed not to fall and proved to be efficient and hard working. Since then, we have completed regular maintenance work for Ballance Agri-Nutrients, Alliance Group, Daiken Southland, Splash Palace, Open Country and Invercargill City Council.
Initially, idea of using our climbing/mountaineering background to assist in completing a large variety of maintenance jobs around the country was a very exciting prospect. As this work become more regular, our team completed IRANNZ Rope Access qualifications. This has been a huge asset to Adventure Southland, opening up more avenues of work within the industrial sector. On top of doing the dirty work, we are now sharing our broad knowledge of Rope Access, Confined Spaces and Height Safety through training programmes from Auckland to Bluff. Our courses can be tailored to specific clients, and employers can choose whether they require unit standards or a best practice equivalent course. We recommend our clients refresh their knowledge every two years to ensure they're operating to current best practice guidelines. It's great to revisit past clients and see how their training is being utilised in the field, and making sure they make it safely home from the worksite.
We also inspect Fall Arrest equipment used by rescue teams and maintenance workers, etc. Because our guys are using the gear on a daily basis, we have practical knowledge so are able to supply the right kit for the job, ensure employees are confident in using it, and make sure it's safe to use when needed.
Much of our expertise transfers well to the recreational branch of Adventure Southland. Our team enjoys learning new skills, the challenge of difficult setups, managing hazards, and gaining better understanding of different variations in system and kit. The guys are always learning and growing, and the variety of being inside a huge chimney, hanging off the roof of the Southland Museum, or inspecting a bridge always keeps the job interesting. It's on the unusual and difficult access jobs when the team come into their own.
We know it isn't always practical to use machinery or scaffolding to gain access. If you're ever wondering "how am I going reach that?" or "how could we get there?"' then it's a good time to ring us and have a chat about potential options. Whether it is cleaning gutters on residential or commercial industrial sites, roof maintenance, window cleaning, painting or completing assessments in hard to reach areas, if there's an excuse to utilise our rope skills the team is keen!


I would not recommend getting a deeply uncomfortable and taxing medical condition in order to adopt a healthy breakfast habit, but it's extremely effective. In addition to a course of high-octane antibiotics and an aggressive herbal protocol, my nutritionist suggested a Paleo regimen that kicked off the day with a mighty meal, had me grazing on smaller snacks throughout the day, and finishing off with whatever quantity of dinner seemed reasonable. How utterly terrifying, and yet medically necessary. Just gonna eat myself well over here, wish me luck.

LGT find homes for retired greyhounds as pets throughout Lincolnshire and surrounding areas and promote the breed at events each weekend.
Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust is a charity set up to try to find homes for retired racing greyhounds as pets.
Greyhounds are a great breed of dog and LGT promote the breed each weekend at various supermarkets, street collections and shows.
The majority of our greyhounds come from racing owners and trainers who trust us to find them better homes than they can, but we do rescue the occasional one from our local pounds when they are struggling.
LGT has no paid employees and is run entirely by volunteers.
Since our formation in December 1998 we have rehomed over 1,000 different greyhounds.
providing assistance to pet greyhound owners, where necessary, in order to ensure that greyhounds remain in a loving, home environment.

A Missouri Reporter Is (Still) Getting Blamed For the Security Flaw He Exposed
Home / A Missouri Reporter Is (Still) Getting Blamed For the Security Flaw He Exposed
Jack Gillum sought — and obtained — some records from Missouri Governor Parson's office concerning the governor's staff's public statements and the governor's intention to try to prosecute journalist Josh Renaud. Renaud's crime: he discovered a vulnerability on a state website where by clicking the F12 key to view the source of a page, one could see teachers' social security numbers exposed in plain text. Renaud verified his discovery and then notified the state, delaying publication until the state could secure the data.
Instead of thanking the reporter and his newspaper — as the state initially planned to do — the governor did an about-face and called the journalist a "hacker" and is pushing to have him prosecuted under a state law.
Nothing has changed since the story first made news in October. The governor continues to insist that the reporter is likely to be prosecuted, while most members of the press and researchers point out the dangerous situation that would result — where people will be afraid to disclose vulnerabilities to the state.
Yes, Missouri's law has wording that might seemingly allow Missouri to prosecute anyone who gains access to others' personal information without their authorization, but did the law really anticipate the governor going after those researchers or journalists who responsibly disclose or report on breaches or leaks?
Gillum's article can be found on Bloomberg, here.
So…. what will Governor Parsons do when journalists report on ransomware incidents involving Missouri entities where data involving personal information has been dumped by threat actors and viewed and reported upon by journalists? Look at these provisions in their law:
(3) Discloses or takes data, programs, or supporting documentation, residing or existing internal or external to a computer, computer system, or computer network; or
(6) Receives, retains, uses, or discloses any data he knows or believes was obtained in violation of this subsection.
So does that mean reporting on a data dump from a criminal hack unlawfully "uses" or "discloses" data?
DataBreaches.net does not believe that investigating and reporting on cybercrime is a crime. See also today's report on the ransomware attack on Carthage R-9 district.
Missouri Teachers' Social Security numbers at risk…
A rough week for Missouri teachers who are notified…
Viewing website HTML code is not illegal or…

wha-.
The SSN's were being transmitted in plain text over the wire regardless.
Viewing the page source is not hacking any more than viewing the main web page.
If that's hacking then I'm hacking by reading this article.

An entity published privileged information publicly. The reporter read that information and wrote a story on it.
The crime is that the entity failed to keep privileged information confidential, right?

No… he gave them time to secure their site and he never published confidential info.


Anyway, back to the purpose of this post. Last year was the first year I have used Study Island to help students prepare for our Ohio state testing. At the beginning I struggled with finding time to implement it throughout the year. We teach our own computer classes at school, and I usually use that time to embed technology use into my curriculum. It turned out being that the students only worked on completing the assignments when, or if, they finished their work early. This almost never happened. Towards the end of last year, I was better about assigning time for the students to take the assessments, and a few actually were intrinsically motivated to pass as many tests as they could. Over the summer, I thought that I would take the intrinsic motivation a few of my students had and combine it with some motivation from me!
This year, I started Study Island within the first few weeks of school with the benchmark test and showing the students how to navigate the website. Third grade is the only grade level in my K-3 school that does Study Island, so this was a first for them. They were instantly excited about the games that the program offers, but less excited about taking the assessments. To help the students feel motivated, I created this uber-incentive chart in Excel. Down the side, it has all of the students' names and along the top is each assessment they have to pass. There is one chart for math and another for reading. I began giving the students stickers for every test they passed, which is 70%. Soon, the excitement exploded and the kiddos wanted to do Study Island as much as they could. Obviously, I have other things to squeeze into the day, and still only had the same amount of time in the computer lab. Many students volunteer to stay in for recess to work on it. I'll only let them do this once per week because I want them to go out and play. We have a rotating schedule for the students who would like to use the classroom computers at recess. I also have many students working on it at home on their free time. Within about a month of using the incentive chart, I am just blown away by the success of my students. I have already had 3 finish all of the reading tests, and as a reward, gave them each a cupcake. This is really working well to use this wonderful product that my district subscribes to, without letting it go to waste due to a lack of time to properly implement it.
I would love to hear of other who use Study Island, how you use it in the classroom, and how you get your students excited about it!
Oh…almost forgot! Remember to go to my collaborative blog, All Things Upper Elementary! We now have it up and running with an intro of our first blogger, Jennifer Smith-Sloane. There will be 14 bloggers contributing to this blog, and for the next 14 days, you will find each of us introducing ourselves. My date is on January the 15th and I'm already preparing for it!
Poor little Mia! She is just adorable! My mom has always had Malteses. They are so much fun! We have three dos of our own (all poodle mixes). I am glad Mia is feeling better!
We use Study Island a lot. I am giving a benchmark test for winter next week. I try to take my kiddos to the computer room regularly to try to win their blue ribbons. They love it!
I'm giving the winter benchmark tomorrow. The math scores were horrible at the beginning of the year. Let's hope they improve this time around…otherwise I need to re-think my teaching methods. Haha.
At my school grades 3-5 use Study Island, 2-5 use IXL Math, and K-5 use RAZ-Kids. The teachers love having these available for students to use. We have a computer lab special once in our six day rotation, so teachers don't have to be the only source of getting our kids on it. They use the on-line resources during their computer lab special which is great!
We used to use Study Island and I LOVED it! I ran a workshop the second year to help teachers with it, but they changed the interface after that and I had trouble with it. I wish we could have kept it up because it's such a great way to differentiate practice.

Fighting the Enemy
More technological solutions have to be acquired by the government to counter IED threats posed to the CRPF in the Red Corridor
If the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) were to be believed, the paramilitary forces fighting the internal security battle — especially in the Red Corridor — were provided with the best equipment. The paramilitary personnel, however, think otherwise. Either it is inadequate number of weapons and systems, or inefficient training; till now the paramilitary forces have not been able to handle the security situation in the Naxal stronghold areas. Latest in the long list of disappointments were the incidents of Naxal attacks during the General Elections.
IED blast site in Chhattisgarh
On April 12, Bastar and Bijapur districts in Chhattisgarh witnessed Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) blasts during the voting season. Maoists triggered landmines in these two areas which claimed the lives of seven polling officials and five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. Three days later, another blast was carried out which killed three security forces. On May 11, seven cops were killed in yet another landmine blast in Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra.
When asked for MHA's assessment on these security lapses, a highly placed official in the ministry said that the paramilitary personnel were in the 'election mode', and as a result security vacuum was created. He implied that it was not physically possible to ensure full safety in this so-called 'election mode'. He then tossed over the responsibility and blame on to the director generals (DG) of the paramilitary forces. "The top leadership of the paramilitary forces could have done better by ensuring proper training to their troops," he said. Giving the example of mini-training centres, which were the brain-child of the then DG CRPF Vijay Kumar, the MHA official said that the DGs did not take this idea forward. Apparently, lack of coordinated efforts between the top officials led to the lack of training.
The biggest challenge for the security forces in the Red Corridor comes from IED. Maoists have preferred the IED option in the Red Corridor, which in the last five years has claimed the lives of at least 300 CRPF personnel. Mine Protected Vehicles (MPV), which were supposed to protect security personnel from IED blasts, have themselves become a reason for the higher casualties. When this issue was raised with top MHA official, his immediate defence was to draw parallel with the United States Army in Afghanistan, who, according to him, were not able to solve the IED problem.
The existing MPVs with the CRPF are not designed to sustain the intensity of IED blasts. High detonation velocity explosives like RDX shatter the metallic hull of the MPV whereas the low detonator velocity explosives (used by Naxals) tend to topple it. The casualties took place because the vehicle itself toppled during the IED blast. The CRPF wishes to acquire MPVs that can sustain high detonation velocities.
Contrary to what the top official of the MHA claimed, the US NATO troops have been able to reduce casualties by inducting new techniques into their operations. To ensure better protection, the mine resistant ambush protection (MRAP) vehicles are designed to have V-shaped underbellies to deflect blasts outwards, which in turn give less shockwaves to the troops inside the vehicle. The new generation MRAPs weigh much less than its previous version as it is made from lighter and stronger steel. These vehicles also featured suspended seats to protect riders from the shock waves emanating from the blasts below. So, essentially this modified MRAP gives better protection from the blasts, with much reduced weight, more effective V-shaped underbelly and the removed crew pod. As a preventive measure, American forces fitted their vehicles (used in counter IED operations) with extra wheels in the front which triggers the explosions much before the vehicle comes directly under the blast.

Our Record of Success
$2 Million Settlement in Minee-Subee Day Care Center Death Lawsuit
Minee-Subee in the Park, Inc., has agreed to settle the wrongful death case of toddler Benjamin Kingan killed at its day care center in Lincolnshire, Illinois, for $2 million, the full extent of its insurance coverage. Corboy & Demetrio personal injury lawyers Thomas Demetrio and Francis Patrick Murphy represent the toddler's family.
On January 14, 2009, Ben, 16 months old, was attending the Minee-Subee day care center in Lincolnshire, Illinois, along with his twin sister, Emily. Illinois law requires that two day care workers be in the toddler room at all times, if there are more than 5 toddlers in a class, as there was on January 14. During the Illinois Department of Children and Family Service's scheduled inspections, this law was followed. "During the day-to-day operation of the center, however, it was not," said Murphy.
On January 14, one of the teachers in the toddler room left the room to wash lunch dishes and then visit her own daughter in another area of the day care center. While Melissa Calusinski, a 22 year-old teacher's assistant, was alone in the room, several toddlers began fussing. Calusinski grabbed Ben, who was seated next to Emily, picked him up out of the high chair, lifted him up, and violently threw him down to the floor. Ben landed on his head causing a skull fracture. He then crawled over to his bouncy chair and cuddled up with his blanket. Calusinski did not seek care for Ben for about 20 minutes during which time he lapsed into unconsciousness. He died shortly thereafter at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Lake County, Illinois.
Calusinski has been charged with Ben's murder. The owner of the center, Judy Katz, has been charged with obstruction of justice stemming from her attempt to have the missing worker lie to the police and claim she was in the room at all times. This worker ripped up a statement she was to copy and give to the police, and threw it into a garbage basket. However, the police found it. The worker then confessed how she was suppose to lie. The day care center has been closed by state authorities.
"This heinous act against Ben would have been prevented if the day care center had obeyed the law," said Thomas Demetrio. "It is our hope, and the hope of the Kingan family, that Ben becomes the poster child for vigilant and strict adherence to safety rules and procedures by day care centers across the nation."
"An Irish proverb suggests that a person dies a second time if he is forgotten. Benjamin Kingan will never be forgotten by his parents, brother or sisters. In fact, his twin sister Emily, who is just beginning to talk, will point to Ben's photo and say, 'Ben,'" said Murphy. "This settlement is an acknowledgment by the day care center of its negligence in caring for Ben."

A: If you have your route definition before the default, for example:
routes.MapRoute(
  name: "1024",
  url: "{id}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Direct" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
  name: "Default",
  url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

This will route (host):(port)/ to Index and (host):(port)/1024 to Direct where you can RedirectToAction("Index").
For example a HomeController to demonstrate the point (This ONLY redirects 1024 to index):
public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult Direct(int? id)
        {
            if (id.HasValue && id.Value == 1024)
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            else
            {
                return View();
            }
        }

    }

This would redirect any id to index:
public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult Direct(int? id)
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

    }

Becoming an Age-Friendly Livable Community »
William Shobe, a professor at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Policy at the University of Virginia and director of the Center for Economic and Policy Studies, reported on what studies tell us about the likely technology mix needed for a transition to carbon neutral by 2050, and the likely costs and benefits of getting there. Some of these studies model decarbonization of just the electricity sector, commensurate with the requirements of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, while others look at economy-wide decarbonization. He also discussed some of the key roadblocks that need to be addressed if the decarbonization goals are to be achieved at a reasonable cost. The program was moderated by Bob McGrath, past SSV president.
The virtual session was recorded and the video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/kbYp674SF8M
Below is a podcast of the session.

Program Summary
Professor Shobe spoke on the energy transition initiative that Virginia reduce electricity carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 and the pathways to reach this goal cost effectively. He discussed not only the opportunities to accomplish this, but also the roadblocks to getting there.
In 2006 Virginia reached the peak of carbon emissions and there has now been a considerable drop off. The reason behind this decline is the decrease in coal use and the increase in natural gas. After years of minimal usage of renewable energy sources, there is now a growing interest in hydro, solar and wind energy production. Since 2010 the importation of electricity into Virginia has decreased reducing carbon emissions. Since 2016 solar production has become increasingly popular. Currently the cheapest new resource to build is solar. In 2021 Virginia has produced the same amount of energy from solar as coal.
It was noted that the planning of these solar projects all started before the Clean Air Act was passed.
Professor Shobe stressed the importance of regional cooperation. Virginia belongs to PJM (named for the first three participating states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland) a group that shares energy consisting of neighboring states. East coast states developing offshore wind energy will have to work together as well as local and state governments needing to develop policies to encourage building of new facilities. To the last point, for local governments to be willing to support new plants, they want to be able to tax at the same rate as other development projects, not the current reduced rate.
The biggest roadblocks to reaching the 2050 goal are reducing carbon emissions in transportation, buildings, and industrial. Progress has already been made as in decarbonizing electricity.
Professor Shobe is hopeful that costs will come down in some energy sectors and new technologies will be available to make products more affordable. In the end, he feels with advance planning and cooperation a zero-carbon emission goal may be accomplished.

VisTech.Projects: New Tire Pressure Calculator Application from MICHELIN.
New Tire Pressure Calculator Application from MICHELIN.
Michelin Pressure Calculator Application has been recently published on Google Play. The application calculates proper tire pressure for tractors based on user inputs. VisTech.Projects has participated in this project as a developer.
One of distinctive features of this app is the ability to perform measurements on pictures. We have implemented it as a "camera measure module" based on our technology used in Partometer application and adapted it for quick and convenient estimation of wheelbase and other distances needed for pressure calculation.
The application is simple and easy to use and has options to save, view and share data reports. French, English, Spanish and German are supported.
Farmers can use this tool for quick pressure calculations for different Tire / Tool configurations.
