When Trump launched the Section 232 steel probe in April, he said it had "nothing to do with China".
The U.S. president joined 19 of his counterparts at the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany, Friday, with issues on the table ranging from trade to climate change.
The EU is not a large importer of steel from the USA, so the measure focuses more on goods that the EU brings in from the U.S., according to the report.
The G 20 Summit was a great success for the U.S. - Explained that the U.S. must fix the many bad trade deals it has made. Germany also has a large steel industry and officials there have been particularly concerned about what a unilateral move to impose restrictions on steel imports to the United States might mean.
While China is the central focus of the Trump administration's Section 232 investigations of steel and aluminum imports, other nations are interested in the investigations' results. Trump announced Friday that had called on South Korea to "stop enabling the export of dumped steel". They are hoping to galvanize other countries at the G-20 to work together to confront China over its government support for the domestic steel industry, with the idea that joint pressure could be more effective and remove the possibility that the United States has to move alone.
"There is no doubt that this entire line of trade remedy actions regarding national security matters is going to be an issue", said Jacob Kirkegaard, a senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
WTO Director General Roberto Azevedo told Reuters it would be concerning to see countries making national security demands within the WTO's dispute settlement system, the global trade court for the its 164 members.
"That hurts us, but it also hurts the Americans", he added.
He warned however, that a broad US claim to national security would put global trade on a slippery slope. They would not comment on a report made by the Financial Times that said the European Union could hit US imports of orange juice and bourbon. Indeed, analysts have warned that tariffs could drive up steel prices for US manufacturers.
During his four-day trip, Trump would travel to Poland and then to Germany to attend the G-20 Summit which among others is being attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The G-20 will "continue to fight protectionism including all unfair trade practices and recognize the rule of legitimate trade defense instruments in this regard".
While the policy recommendations of those probes haven't been announced, some US businesses are feeling pretty good about what those protectionist policies might do for them. "I think that there are some concerns about the systemic implications about going down that route for the worldwide trading system".

Saturday is why Kentucky hired John Calipari.
To be sure, UK's basketball coach has gone above and beyond to embrace the public side of the job description. He grips. He grins. He tweets. He speaks. He speaks some more.
To say Calipari is light years ahead of his predecessor in the category of public persona is a vast understatement. No coach, not even Rick Pitino, has energized the Big Blue Nation the way Calipari has energized the Big Blue Nation.
But that's not the real reason that he was hired to be the Kentucky basketball coach.
Not every year, and not every game, perhaps, but if you're the UK coach, you have to beat the Heels, who visit Rupp Arena on Saturday.
You have to beat them in recruiting off the floor. And you have to beat them in points on the floor. Not every time. But you have to beat them enough times to make it competitive.
The reason: At this date in college hoops history, North Carolina is the sport's gold standard.
Yes, Kentucky has more titles. Kentucky has more wins. Kentucky might hold off the Heels and claim the (pseudo) honor of being the first program with 2,000 victories. Doesn't matter.
In the past five years under Roy Williams, North Carolina has been to three Final Fours and won two national championships.
And with this year's freshman class, plus the arrival next year of top prospect Harrison Barnes, Blue Heaven is gearing up for a run at another title.
Consider that after the defending national champs lost the likes of Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Tyler Hansbrough, most figured it would be a rebuilding year in Chapel Hill. Then the Tar Heels pounded Michigan State on Tuesday night in the Dean Dome. Trite but true: UNC doesn't rebuild as much as it reloads.
That's the sort of excellence Kentucky hasn't been able to sustain since its last Final Four trip, and last national title, back in 1998.
That's why, after going the next-big-thing route in hiring Billy Gillispie (with near-disastrous results), Kentucky went with the big thing this time around.
There are few bigger right now than Calipari. He doesn't have a championship (not yet) like a Williams or a Jim Calhoun or a Mike Krzyzewski, or even a Pitino. He might not be the X-and-O coach that is Tom Izzo, but then who out there is? Calipari might rub some in the sport the wrong way. But he has the personality, the offense and the know-how to get talent.
Who else could have taken the Kentucky job on April 1 and signed the nation's top recruiting class a little over a month later?
Who else could have persuaded Patrick Patterson to stay in school, persuaded Daniel Orton to keep his name on the dotted line and persuaded DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to make a detour from Memphis to Lexington?
Name another coach who could have stepped onto the UK campus and made the Cats instantly competitive with the program atop the college basketball pedestal?
Plus, give his school's rabid fan base the belief that they will be back atop that pedestal, and soon?
By the way, it's no small thing that Kentucky has lost five straight to the Tar Heels, and the last three weren't all that competitive.
To get back to being the best, you have to beat the best.
That's why UK hired John Calipari.

The capacity of platelets to generate thromboxane A2, reflected by measurement of serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2), greatly exceeds the systemic production of thromboxane in vivo. Thus, it is possible that substantial but incomplete inhibition of thromboxane formation ex vivo would still allow marked augmentation of thromboxane production in vivo. To address this hypothesis, we administered aspirin 120 mg, a selective inhibitor of thromboxane synthase (TxSl), 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl-methyl)-2-methyl-1H-indole-1-propanoic acid (UK-38, 485) 200 mg, and a combination of both drugs to 12 healthy volunteers and measured the effects on serum TxB2 and urinary 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2 (Tx-M), an index of endogenous thromboxane biosynthesis. Although serum TxB2 was maximally inhibited by 94 +/- 1% after aspirin and 96 +/- 2% after the TxSl, maximal depression of Tx-M was only 28 +/- 8% and 37 +/- 9%, respectively. Combination of aspirin with the TxSl resulted in a small but significant increase in inhibition of thromboxane generation ex vivo (98 +/- 1% v 94 +/- 1%; P less than 0.05), but a disproportionately greater fall in thromboxane synthesis in vivo (58 +/- 7%; P less than 0.01). Consistent with further inhibition of platelet thromboxane synthesis, addition of the TxSl abolished the transient decline in prostacyclin formation after aspirin alone. Administration of a lower dose of aspirin (20 mg) to 6 healthy subjects caused a small reduction in Tx-M (12 +/- 4%; P less than 0.05) and inhibited serum TxB2 by 48 +/- 2%. The relationship between inhibition of platelet capacity to form thromboxane ex vivo (serum TxB2) and synthesis in vivo (Tx-M) departed markedly from the line of identity. When total blockade of the capacity of platelets to generate thromboxane is approached, minor decrements in capacity result in a disproportionate depression of actual thromboxane biosynthesis. These results imply that pharmacologic inhibition of serum TxB2 must be virtually complete before thromboxane-dependent platelet activation is influenced in vivo.

UTEP blanks Aggies in soccer opener The Miners start slowly, but finish fast in a 5-0 win over NMSU on Friday night at University Field. Check out this story on ElPasoTimes.com: http://www.elpasotimes.com/story/sports/college/utep/2016/08/20/utep-blanks-aggies-soccer-opener/89033860/

It began with a trickle. It finished with a flood.
UTEP put all the pieces together in an ideal season opener — aggressive offense, smothering defense, good goalkeeping and a shutout win over the rival down the road.
The Miners scored once in the first half, then opened the floodgates in the final 45 minutes to take a 5-0 win over rival New Mexico State on a beautiful Friday night in front of a record crowd of 1,724 fans at UTEP's University Field.
The first half was a tension-filled affair, 45 minutes of tough defense and 45 minutes of near misses. More than anything, though, the Miners were not on the attack during that first half. The grandstands were filled, half the concrete wall was packed with fans on one end and Miner faithful were lined all the way around the other end of the field.
They saw gifted senior Aleah Davis get one of her trademark goals, a header in the upper right corner off a beautiful corner kick from Carleigh Simmons 14:30 into the game. And they roared. But this game tiptoed into the intermission with UTEP still clinging to that 1-0 lead.
And so they were waiting for more — much more. And they got it.

"I think the first half was mostly nerves," said Brittany Thomas, the senior from Hanks High. "We were really focusing on our defense more than attacking. And that's not our game. In the second half it was just attack, attack, attack."
UTEP coach Kevin Cross, who saw his Miner teams go 6-0 all-time against New Mexico State, shook his head and said, "The first half we weren't playing attacking soccer the way we like to play. That was the theme of my talk at halftime. Attack. But the first half was tough. New Mexico State is a good team and they are well coached and they were playing well.
Still, the Miners had that 1-0 lead. And then came the flood.
Brianna Barreiro scored on a beautiful series — long throw in from Davis, silky smooth pass from Thomas and Barreiro sent it home just 51 seconds into the second half. Thomas was then on the receiving end of a fine pass from Barreiro. She gave it a couple of taps and then slid it past the keeper and the Miners led 3-0 in the 68th minute.
"I was a little nervous on that one," Thomas said with a grin. "Thought I was going to get run over by the goalkeeper. But that's the chances you have to take. And I got it in there."
She did. And then came more.

Freshmen Emily Blaettner got a pass from sophomore Yesenia Contreras and converted in the 74th minute and freshman Jodie Eniokson drilled home a penalty kick in the 85th minute and the floodwaters had completely overwhelmed the Aggies.
The three seniors — Davis, Thomas and Barreiro — all had huge nights. Each one had a goal and an assist.
"I think there were some first game jitters," Davis said. "We've been playing against each other and we realized out there that we've got to pick it up. That second half was UTEP soccer. That was the intensity we've had all camp. I don't think our opener could have gone any better. Everyone played. Everyone contributed. Everyone got a taste of game action. And we beat our rival."
Barreiro said, "It was a good night. About the only thing we could have done better is put some more goals away in the first half. But it was great out there. A lot of players came in off the bench but the level of play never dropped. On my goal, I lost it in the lights for a second. Aleah always plays a great ball in and Thomas gave me a great pass and I was able to get a foot on it and stick it in."
It began slowly, with but a trickle. It ended, though, with a flood of goals.

Erika Christakis was questioning that practice when she composed her email, adding nuance to a conversation that some students were already having. Traditionally, she began, Halloween is both a day of subversion for young people and a time when adults exert their control over their behavior: from bygone, overblown fears about candy spiked with poison or razorblades to a more recent aversion to the sugar in candy.
In the earliest Batman stories of Detective Comics, the costume featured a few curiosities before it evolved into its more or less standard style. The first gloves were purple in color, ordinary looking, and lacked any sort of scalloped fins or other stylings, and only came to the wrists. The second Batman adventure depicted the character wearing no gloves at all. A few issues later the gloves became longer, and by 1940 the familiar fins were added (in early stories, these pieces originally resembled miniature, scalloped bat wings, but eventually became three simple triangular fins). In some later incarnations, the scallops are attached to a separated bracer worn below the glove around the wrist. Additionally, the gloves have been specially treated to be both shock-proof as well as radiation-resistant.The glove designs that incorporate fingertip blades also have joint armor-reinforcement in the glove, from the wrists and knuckles to the fingers. He also has electrical shockers at the fingertips of his gloves, which are used to control the structure of his cape. Additionally, Batman hides a few pieces of his arsenal in his gloves, such as a lockpick.
The array of devices Batman carries have become more complex over time. The simple coiled rope and Batarang scaling equipment became a rocket-powered (or compressed air powered) grapple gun. The suit has also carried on different occasions a re-breather device, flash and gas grenades, explosives and a detonator, lockpicks, a signaling device for the Batmobile, electronic surveillance equipment (including video camera and monitor), a forensic kit for gathering crime scene evidence, a medical kit, a cache of money and, in early incarnations, a pistol in a holster. On any occasion where Batman anticipates encountering Kryptonians, he has also carried (in a lead case) a Kryptonite Ring, given to him by Superman as a weapon of last resort.

Villagers were also encouraged to masquerade on this day, not to frighten unwelcome spirits, but to honor Christian saints. Poor churches could not afford genuine relics and instead had processions in which parishioners dressed as saints, angels and devils. It served the new church by giving an acceptable Christian basis to the custom of dressing up on Halloween.
In a parking lot, Spider-Man webbed Davis's hand onto his car bonnet, but Davis poked fun at Spider-Man for using a voice filter. Flustered, Spider-Man disabled the Enhanced Interrogation Protocol and asked for Vulture's location. Davis, grateful for Spider-Man's intervention several nights earlier, informed him of another weapons deal to be made on Staten Island Ferry.[2]
The United Kingdom based Panini Comics publication Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures was loosely based on the continuity of the 1990s animated series.[24] In the series Peter Parker deals with the day-to-day headaches of balancing a social life with his super-heroics. He has a close circle of friends such as Liz Allen, Harry Osborn, and Flash Thompson, and he is involved in a relationship with Mary Jane. However, in this continuity, Mary Jane does not possess an existing knowledge of his dual identity, and thus Peter finds juggling his life with her and his crime-fighting career difficult. Despite this, Mary Jane loyally supports Peter, believing it is his dangerous job as a photographer that keeps him away from dates and other activities. A look into the future reveals Peter and MJ ultimately get married in this continuity, and have a daughter, May, who is active as Spider-Girl. At some point in this future, Peter loses his leg, which forces him to retire as Spider-Man.[25]
Speaking of Carole, Luann was upset she never received a text from Carole about the whole Tom situation. Carole countered with the fact that she never ran around telling Luann he was a bad guy, she saw that as a respectful thing so why would she need to text after the breakup? And Lu never reached out after Carole and Adam called it quits on the labeled relationship (even if they're still having coffee and "having coffee").

Peter is shown to be learning the 'Way of the Spider', from Shang-Chi, and also seen neutralizing a couple of robberies. Jackal is revealed to be working on a scheme, recruiting several spider-powered criminals for some kind of project. Later, Peter and Carlie Cooper are talking when Carlie reveals she has spider-powers. When news of several hundreds of New Yorkers having manifested spider-powers reaches them, Carlie web swings away to help. Peter then pretends to be another random spider-powered New Yorker and defends New York against the spider-powered villains, along with the Avengers. Anti-Venom is seen curing people of their spider-powers, as he showed the ability to do so in New Ways to Die. Jackal is seen working on the Spider-King, filled with tiny embryos. Horizon Labs and Mr Fantastic work on finding a cure while the Avengers keep Manhattan quarantined to stop the virus from spreading. While at an lab, Peter and Carlie are attacked by Chance, Scorcher, and White Rabbit, who also have spider-powers. Peter manages to defeat them using his training from Shang-Chi. Jackal has the battle taped and gives it to Tarantula to study, as he will soon be 'tested'. Reed Richards finally develops a vaccine that stops people from gaining spider-powers, but cannot cure those already infected. J. Jonah Jameson discovers that he, too, has gained spider powers. Anti-Venom continues curing people, however Madame Web faints from the massive excess of spiders accessing the 'web of life'. Carlie meets up with Spider-Man, when they attempt to take down Shocker, who has grown 6 extra arms. After taking off his mask, they find that his face is slowly mutating into a spider's face, and his body is doing the same. Carlie starts to mutate as well.The Spider-Queen tells Jackal that the people of New York will soon become spiders, and she will own New York.
^ Doctor Octopus is regarded as one of Spider-Man's worst enemies. He has been cited as the man Peter might have become if he hadn't been raised with a sense of responsibility.[15][124][125] He is infamous for defeating him the first time in battle and for almost marrying Peter's Aunt May. He is the core leader of the Sinister Six and has also referred himself as the "Master Planner". ("If This Be My Destiny...!")[124][126] Later depictions revealed him in Peter Parker's body where he was the titular character for a while.[125]
It is claimed that in the Middle Ages, churches that were too poor to display the relics of martyred saints at Allhallowtide let parishioners dress up as saints instead.[92][93] Some Christians continue to observe this custom at Halloween today.[94] Lesley Bannatyne believes this could have been a Christianization of an earlier pagan custom.[95] While souling, Christians would carry with them "lanterns made of hollowed-out turnips".[96] It has been suggested that the carved jack-o'-lantern, a popular symbol of Halloween, originally represented the souls of the dead.[97] On Halloween, in medieval Europe, fires served a dual purpose, being lit to guide returning souls to the homes of their families, as well as to deflect demons from haunting sincere Christian folk.[98][99] Households in Austria, England and Ireland often had "candles burning in every room to guide the souls back to visit their earthly homes". These were known as "soul lights".[100][101][102] Many Christians in mainland Europe, especially in France, believed "that once a year, on Hallowe'en, the dead of the churchyards rose for one wild, hideous carnival" known as the danse macabre, which has often been depicted in church decoration.[103] Christopher Allmand and Rosamond McKitterick write in The New Cambridge Medieval History that "Christians were moved by the sight of the Infant Jesus playing on his mother's knee; their hearts were touched by the Pietà; and patron saints reassured them by their presence. But, all the while, the danse macabre urged them not to forget the end of all earthly things."[104] This danse macabre was enacted at village pageants and at court masques, with people "dressing up as corpses from various strata of society", and may have been the origin of modern-day Halloween costume parties.[96][105][93][106]
In 2005, after a four-year break from comic appearances, Captain Universe returned in the second series of Amazing Fantasy.[2] Also in 2005, a series of one-shot specials linked together by the Uni-Power/Captain Universe were released featuring different characters from the Marvel Universe as the Uni-Power each imbues them with power of Captain Universe. These titles were Captain Universe/Hulk, Captain Universe/Daredevil, Captain Universe/X-23, Captain Universe/Invisible Woman and Captain Universe/Silver Surfer. The Uni-Power made a brief appearance in Nextwave, he also made a "cameo" as Cosmic Spider-Man for the variant cover of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #3 and played an important part in the Death's Head 3.0 saga chronicled in Amazing Fantasy.
Costume design is the envisioning of clothing and the overall appearance of a character or performer. Costume may refer to the style of dress particular to a nation, a class, or a period. In many cases, it may contribute to the fullness of the artistic, visual world that is unique to a particular theatrical or cinematic production. The most basic designs are produced to denote status, provide protection or modesty, or provide visual interest to a character. Costumes may be for, but not limited to, theater, cinema, or musical performances. Costume design should not be confused with costume coordination, which merely involves altering existing clothing, although both processes are used to create stage clothes.
"This year, we seem afraid that college students are unable to decide how to dress themselves on Halloween," she wrote. "I don't wish to trivialize genuine concerns about cultural and personal representation, and other challenges to our lived experience in a plural community. I know that many decent people have proposed guidelines on Halloween costumes from a spirit of avoiding hurt and offense. I laud those goals, in theory, as most of us do. But in practice, I wonder if we should reflect more transparently, as a community, on the consequences of an institutional (bureaucratic and administrative) exercise of implied control over college students."

In 2012, the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man and 10 years since the first Spider-Man movie, a reboot of the Spider-Man movie franchise was launched. The Amazing Spider-Man saw then-unknown British actor Andrew Garfield step into the role, with a supporting cast that included Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Curst Connors/The Lizard, Dennis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Sally Field as Aunt May and Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben. Directed by Marc Webb, the film was the first Spider-Man movie to be filmed in 3D, and featured a new, heavily modified costume design that proved to be highly controversial among the fans.
On "In Darkness Dwells," it is shown that there's an infrared scope built within the cowl, along with a rebreather that can be folded within it. There's a wireless relay communicator in the cowl. Its signals are locked with quantum cryptology and bounced through a dozen different satellites (presumably the WayneComs). As per the animation styles, the suit varies between versions of the Batman Begins standard black suit and the Comic Book original.
Parker appears in numerous What If? universes. Among these are realities in which he is a member of the Fantastic Four; in which he was not bitten by the spider but some other supporting cast member was; in which he chose not to go into superheroics; in which he joins with Wolverine and takes up black ops work; and in which he becomes a mutated spider creature.

When Peter learns that his old enemy the Rhino is on a rampage in Times Square, he suits up as Spider-Man to stop the destructive villain in his tracks. But he's unexpectedly foiled in his attempts by the Black Cat, a former ally and old flame. The Cat informs Peter that the Rhino is just a distraction -- the real threat comes from a group of Ancients, members of the same race as the being called Morlun, who Spidey defeated in battle years earlier. The Ancients are now looking to exact revenge -- and hope to steal Spider-Man's life force in the process.

In the ongoing series Ultimate Comics: Avengers, a second Spider-Man was shown to be one of its members, and is simply referred to as the Spider. His costume bears an orange-and-purple color as opposed to red-and-blue. The Spider once claimed that he was a clone made from the DNA of Spider-Man and Professor X that was sent from the future. In the "Death of Spider-Man" story arc "Avengers vs. New Ultimates", he is revealed to be North Asian and acting under the orders of Gregory Stark. He led a superhuman uprising in North Korea.[43] During the events of said uprising, The Spider was killed by Hawkeye after the Avengers and the New Ultimates intervened.[volume & issue needed]
Black Widow a.k.a. Natasha Romanova: During a HYDRA attempt to take over S.H.I.E.L.D., she is tortured to such an extent that she regresses back to an old cover identity of schoolteacher Nancy Rushman, but she is recovered by Spider-Man in time to help Nick Fury and Shang-Chi work out what had happened and restore her memory, with "Nancy" developing an attraction to Spider-Man before her memory is restored during the final fight against Madam Viper, Boomerang and the Silver Samurai.
Spider-Man also has incredible durability to blunt trauma as his body is much tougher than that of a normal person. He can withstand such levels of damage and punishment that would kill non-super powered individuals. For example he has frequently taken blows from characters with high levels of superhuman strength (Hulk, Venom, Rhino, Puma, Green Goblin etc) without sustaining significant injury. He has also survived the force of having a building collapse on him multiple times. This durability extends to falling from great heights. For example, he was once knocked through three buildings by Mr Negative before falling multiple stories to the ground, yet still remained conscious. His durability to blunt trauma also extends to explosive forces, and he has taken explosions with the force of a hand grenade and recovered nearly instantly in a recent fight with the Juggernaut. In the Sins Past Storyline he tanked a building destroying explosion, but was significantly weakened afterwards. The toughness of Spider-Man is such that he often rolls with the blows of punches thrown by non-powered foes to avoid injuring them- when he once decided to tense his abdominal muscles against the blows of a trained boxer, the boxer broke his wrists. Scorpion once described Spider-Man's body "as being as hard as concrete".
Upon approaching the Spider-Island arc, Peter felt vulnerable with the lack of his spider sense. He began training under Shang Chi to create his own unique martial arts style to make up for his lack of spider sense called the "Way of the Spider". It was then revealed that Shang Chi was instructed by the new Madam Web (Julia Carpenter the former Arachne and Spider-Woman) to secretly prepare Peter for a future threat (Spider-Island). This style consists of among other things, hitting pressure points with Spider Strength, and striking with Spider Speed. This new martial art has considerably improved Spider-Man's H2H capabilities, and so far he has stalemated Julia Carpenter and effortlessly defeated 3 spider-powered individuals in a few seconds during Spider-Island. When he regained his Spider-Sense, he defeated a mutated Kaine who was considerably stronger and quicker than him, and effortlessly trumped a mind controlled Spider-Woman, in handful of blows and kicks.
To make matters worst, the Mary Jane clone was water based and was made for Hydro-Man. Next, Marvel did a tribute to the Secret Wars. Madame Webb was going to help Spider-Man find the real Mary Jane, who was still alive somewhere. As Spider-Man continued his search for Mary Jane, Madame Web and the Beyonder set up a chain of events where Spider-Man faced different versions of himself from different universes. One was him, where he is a rich multi-millionaire, and wears a metallic Spider-Suit, and has publicly made his identity known to the world. This version was made to mirror Marvel's popular super hero multi-billionaire, Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man. Spider-Man in another reality he went to, found out he was married to a woman he never met in his life, Gwen Stacey. Gwen had never appeared in the series until now. Gwen revealed information of another Parker alternate reality. This one was strongly grieving of the death of Aunt May, he cut his hair, died it blonde, and went out as Spider-Man. However, he met a foe he could not beat, the Carnage symbiote. The symbiote felt the pain of Ben Reilly as he changed his name to negate any Parker ties. The symbiote and Reilly bond to become Spider-Carnage. All of the different Spider-Man realities, including the real Spider-Man, battled Spider- Carnage. They could not defeat him however. When he sees Gwen Stacey, his love of killing is put on hold, since he has romantic feelings for Gwen he has never gotten over. He thus realized what he had become, and committed suicide. After all was said and done, one Spider-Man had to take him with him to his reality. This one is our world. He is astounded at the fact of being an international symbol in our world, and before he leaves, he meets with the man who created him, Stan Lee.

Retrieved 31 October 2015. By the early 20th century, Halloween, like Christmas, was commercialized. Pre-made costumes, decorations and special candy all became available. The Christian origins of the holiday were downplayed.
The white areas in Spider-Mans eye cut-outs on his mask are really clever plastic lenses of the two-way mirror type. He can see out very clearly, but no one can see in. Therefore, he can never be recognized by the color of his eyes. These ingenious plastic lenses also protect his eyes from dust, dirt, and the glare of the sun. Spider-Man's colorful head-mask conceals his facial features and expressions and also effectively muffles his voice, making it unrecognizable. When using the Iron Spider-Man suit, it changed his voice in many ways. When Spider-Man became an Avenger, a special comm-link was outfitted into his mask allowing him to communicate with his fellow Avengers as well as others.
On Hallowe'en (All Hallows' Eve), in Poland, believers were once taught to pray out loud as they walk through the forests in order that the souls of the dead might find comfort; in Spain, Christian priests in tiny villages toll their church bells in order to remind their congregants to remember the dead on All Hallows' Eve.[196] In Ireland, and among immigrants in Canada, a custom includes the Christian practice of abstinence, keeping All Hallows' Eve as a meat-free day, and serving pancakes or colcannon instead.[197] In Mexico children make an altar to invite the return of the spirits of dead children (angelitos).[198]
After the war, Peter remains a fugitive and his Aunt May is shot by a sniper hired by the Kingpin. Peter finds himself in a place he has never been before. He dons his black costume and goes on a rampage to find his aunt's shooter. May has fallen into a coma and is in critical condition. Eventually Peter discovers that the Kingpin is the man responsible and tracks the crime-lord to Riker's Island Prison. He savagely beats Fisk to a bloody pulp but decides to leave him with his humiliating defeat as it's worse than death for Fisk. Peter warns the other inmates to stay away from his family and tells Fisk that when May dies, Peter will come back and finish him. Since Spider-Man is a fugitive, he is unable to get proper help for May and is forced to commit felonies to try and save her, before realizing that he has finally become what he has spent his life fighting, a criminal.
In "The Coddling of the American Mind," Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argued that too many college students engage in "catastrophizing," which is to say, turning common events into nightmarish trials or claiming that easily bearable events are too awful to bear. After citing examples, they concluded, "smart people do, in fact, overreact to innocuous speech, make mountains out of molehills, and seek punishment for anyone whose words make anyone else feel uncomfortable."
In an unidentified alternate universe, Peter and Ben Parker live together in a Latin & Spanish neighborhood and Ben is married to a Spanish Aunt May. When Ben got shot by a mugger, he had a blood transfusion with Peter and got his nephew's Spider-powers. When Ben became Spider-Man, he was a ruthless hero where he once severely beat up Kraven the Hunter. He along side Peter battled crime until Peter and May died from unknown reason.[81]

The following activities were a common feature of Halloween in Ireland and Britain during the 17th–20th centuries. Some have become more widespread and continue to be popular today. One common game is apple bobbing or dunking (which may be called "dooking" in Scotland)[165] in which apples float in a tub or a large basin of water and the participants must use only their teeth to remove an apple from the basin. A variant of dunking involves kneeling on a chair, holding a fork between the teeth and trying to drive the fork into an apple. Another common game involves hanging up treacle or syrup-coated scones by strings; these must be eaten without using hands while they remain attached to the string, an activity that inevitably leads to a sticky face. Another once-popular game involves hanging a small wooden rod from the ceiling at head height, with a lit candle on one end and an apple hanging from the other. The rod is spun round and everyone takes turns to try to catch the apple with their teeth.[166]

Q: Does ResultSet.Next() skip rows? I'm running unto a problem with the ResultSet.next() method in Java.
The following code connects to a SQLite database file and attempts to read all the tables contained in the db.
    // Set the connection up with jdbc and sqlite.
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:file.db");
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    statement.setQueryTimeout(30);

    // Get all the tables in the DB so we can check that we have all we need.
    ResultSet trs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master  WHERE type='table';");
    while (trs.next()) {
        String tblname = trs.getString("name").toLowerCase();
        log.log(Level.INFO, "Found table: " + tblname);
    }

The database contains 2 tables (verified by running the query in the sqlite3 client), but the while loop only does one iteration before exiting.
Any suggestions as to why the last table gets ignored?

A: As per Holgers suggestions (see comments for question) I switched to the API method getTables() instead.
// Set the connection up with jdbc and sqlite.
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:file.db");

// Get the tables.
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = connection.getMetaData();
ResultSet trs = dbmd.getTables(null, null, "%", null);
while (trs.next()) {
            String tblname = trs.getString("TABLE_NAME").toLowerCase();
            log.log(Level.INFO, "Found table: " + tblname);
}

This solves my problem with not getting all the tables in the ResultSet.

Der Altstädter Ring (tschechisch: ) ist ein Platz im Zentrum der Prager Altstadt. Der älteste und bedeutendste Platz in Prag ist umgeben von historischen Gebäuden unterschiedlicher Baustile, wie dem Altstädter Rathaus mit der weltberühmten astronomischen Uhr, der gotischen Teynkirche, der barocken Nikolauskirche und dem Rokoko-Palais Golz-Kinsky. In der Mitte erhebt sich das monumentale Denkmal des böhmischen Reformators Jan Hus. Über den Altstädter Ring führt der Königsweg, der historische Krönungsweg der böhmischen Könige.

Geschichte

Die ersten kaufmännischen Niederlassungen am rechten Moldauufer, auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Prager Altstadt, errichteten deutsche und jüdische Kaufleute sowie einheimische Handwerker im 10. und 11. Jahrhundert. Ein wesentlicher Grund dafür war die günstige Lage an der Kreuzung wichtiger Handelsstraßen und die Existenz einer Furt, auf der der Fluss überschritten werden konnte. Die Furt befand sich in der Nähe der heutigen Karlsbrücke. Die Niederlassungen entwickelten sich im Schutz der beiden Burgen – der Vyšehrad auf der rechten und die Prager Burg auf der linken Moldauseite. Vom arabisch-jüdischen Kaufmann Ibrahim Ibn Jakob stammt ein Reisebericht aus dem Jahr 965, in dem Prag als eine Stadt beschrieben wird, wo man günstig Geflügel und Korn kaufen und auch seine Lasttiere gut versorgen kann. Von der Stadt heißt es, sie sei aus Stein und Kalk gebaut und sei der größte Handelsplatz in den slawischen Ländern. Es werden hier Pelze, Sättel, Zäume, Schilde, aber auch Sklaven, Gold, Silber und Pferde feilgeboten.

Der böhmische Geschichtsschreiber Cosmas erwähnte im Jahr 1100 die Existenz eines Marktplatzes. Dieser befand sich bereits am Ende des 11. Jahrhunderts auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Altstädter Ringes. Im 11. Jahrhundert entstand hier auch der fürstliche Zollhof (Ungelt), in dem fremde Kaufleute unter dem Schutz des böhmischen Herrschers nach ihrer langen Wanderung gute Unterkünfte und Rast fanden und für ihre eingeführten Waren Zoll errichten mussten. Angrenzend an den Zollhof wurden im 12. Jahrhundert ein Spital und eine Kirche (die Vorläuferin der Teynkirche) gebaut.

Eine erste Blütezeit erlebte die Siedlung im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert. Die neue steinerne Judithbrücke verbesserte die Verbindung beider Moldauufer und im Jahr 1230 begann unter König Wenzel I. der Bau einer Stadtmauer. Im gleichen Jahr erhob Wenzel I. die Altstadt zur freien Königsstadt, sie ist die älteste der später vier selbstständigen Prager Städte. Die Prager Unterburg (podhradí) entwickelte sich in der Folgezeit zu einer prosperierenden mittelalterlichen Großstadt. Ihre Bevölkerung wuchs und der rege Handel führte zu einem wachsenden Reichtum der Bewohner und zu vermehrter Bautätigkeit. Die neue Bebauung konzentrierte sich um den großen Marktplatz und auf das Gebiet zwischen dem Marktplatz und der Moldaubrücke.

Die romanischen und frühgotischen Häuser standen zwei bis drei Meter unter dem Niveau der heutigen Straßen in einem ständig von Hochwasser bedrohten Gelände. Schon am Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts begann man mit künstlichen Aufschüttungen und das Straßenniveau wurde fortschreitend angehoben. Die romanischen Erdgeschosse verwandelten sich so zu Kellerräumen gotischer Bürgerhäuser. Reste der ältesten Baudenkmäler findet man deshalb heute in den Kellerräumen der späteren Häuser.

Im Jahr 1338 erwirkten die Bürger der Altstadt von König Johann von Luxemburg das Recht, ein eigenes Rathaus zu bauen. Es wurde am Altstädter Ring anstelle mehrerer älterer Bürgerhäuser errichtet und später durch Zukauf weiterer Nachbarhäuser erweitert. Die städtische Selbstverwaltung wurde so gestärkt und der Altstädter Ring entwickelte sich zum politischen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Zentrum der Altstadt. Die Bedeutung der Altstadt wuchs unter Kaiser Karl IV., als Prag zur Hauptstadt des Heiligen Römischen Reiches wurde. Daran erinnert die Aufschrift praga caput regni (Prag, Hauptstadt des Königreiches) über dem Renaissancefenster des Hauses Kříž, das seit dem 14. Jahrhundert ein Teil des Rathauses ist.

Nach dem Zusammenschluss der vier selbstständigen Prager Städte zu einer Verwaltungseinheit im Jahr 1784 wurde die Prager Stadtverwaltung im Altstädter Rathaus konzentriert. Der Altstädter Ring wurde so zum Mittelpunkt der ganzen Stadt. Große Auswirkungen hatte die radikale Modernisierung der Stadt (genannt pražská asanace) an der Wende des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Die historischen Häuser im nördlichen Teil des Platzes wurden abgerissen und durch moderne Wohnhäuser ersetzt, und es entstand die neue Straße Pařížská mit direktem Blick auf die Anhöhe Letná auf der gegenüberliegenden Moldauseite.

Seit den 1960er Jahren führt keine Straßenbahn oder Buslinie mehr über den Platz. Das gesamte Areal ist seit 1962 als Nationales Kulturdenkmal geschützt.  Der Altstädter Ring ist heute eine Fußgängerzone und ein Hauptanziehungspunkt für Touristen. In den letzten Jahren wurde die Tradition der Weihnachts- und Ostermärkte wieder belebt.

Historische Ereignisse

Der Altstädter Ring war seit dem Mittelalter Schauplatz bedeutender Ereignisse der tschechischen Geschichte:
 Im 14. Jahrhundert wirkten in der Nikolauskirche am Altstädter Ring die böhmischen Reformprediger und Vorläufer der Hussiten Jan Milíč z Kroměříže, Konrad von Waldhausen und Matthias von Janov.
 Im 15. Jahrhundert war die Altstadt ein Zentrum der hussitischen Bewegung in Prag. Wichtige Beratungen der hussitischen Stände fanden im Altstädter Rathaus statt. Die Teynkirche war Hauptkirche der böhmischen Utraquisten. Hier wirkte der Prager hussitische Erzbischof Jan Rokycana.
 Am 9. März 1422 wurde Jan Želivský, Anführer der radikalen Hussiten, am Altstädter Ring hingerichtet. Er führte die Erstürmung des Neustädter Rathauses an, die mit dem Ersten Prager Fenstersturz endete.
 Am 27. Februar 1458 wurde im Altstädter Rathaus der hussitische König Georg von Podiebrad gewählt.
 Am 21. Juni 1621 wurden 27 Anführer des Böhmischen Ständeaufstandes gegen die Habsburger vor dem Altstädter Rathaus öffentlich hingerichtet. Daran erinnert ein im Boden eingelassenes Denkmal mit 27 Kreuzen.
 Im Oktober 1918 fanden hier Demonstrationen für eine unabhängige Tschechoslowakei statt.
 Im Mai 1945 war Altstädter Ring das Zentrum des Prager Aufstandes gegen die deutsche Besatzung. Bei den Kämpfen wurde das Rathaus stark beschädigt.

Bedeutende Gebäude

Altstädter Rathaus mit astronomischer Uhr

An der südwestlichen Ecke des Altstädter Rings befindet sich das Altstädter Rathaus (Staroměstská radnice) mit seinem 70 Meter hohen Turm. Bemerkenswert ist neben der astronomischen Rathausuhr (Staroměstský orloj) aus dem Jahr 1410, die zu Prags größten Touristenattraktionen zählt, auch die gotische Erkerkapelle. Der neogotische Anbau an der Nordseite musste aufgrund von starken Brandschäden nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg abgebrochen werden. An seiner Stelle liegt heute ein kleiner Park mit einer Gedenkstätte für die Gefallenen des Prager Aufstandes von 1945.

Von der Aussichtsgalerie im Rathausturm hat man einen wunderschönen Blick über die Dächer der Altstadt.

Haus Zur Minute

Das Haus Zur Minute (Dům U Minuty) steht links neben dem Altstädter Rathaus. Auffallend sind die Sgraffito-Verzierungen der Fassade aus den 17. Jahrhundert. Sie zeigen biblische Episoden, Motive der antiken Mythologie und Szenen aus dem Leben in der Zeit der Renaissance.

Haus Zum weißen Einhorn

Auf der Südseite, an der Einmündung der Straße Celetná, steht das Haus Zum weißen Einhorn (U Bílého jednorožce), früher auch Haus Zum steinernen Lamm (U Kamenného beránka) genannt, Haus Nr. 17/551. Es soll zu Prags ältesten Häusern gehören, im Keller findet man noch Mauerreste des ursprünglichen romanischen Gebäudes und ein gotisches Gewölbe. Im 19. Jahrhundert befand sich hier die Apotheke Zum weißen Einhorn, die ihren Namen nach dem Hauszeichen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert trug – Lamm mit einem Horn.

Im frühen 20. Jahrhundert gehörte das Haus dem Ehepaar Berta und Max Fanta. Der Apotheker Max Fanta erfand hier die nach ihm benannte Fantaschale. Ehefrau Berta führte im ersten Stockwerk einen literarischen Salon, in dem sich viele bekannte Prager Intellektuelle zu Diskussionen trafen. Zu den Besuchern gehörten unter anderem Franz Kafka, Samuel Hugo Bergmann, Franz Werfel und Max Brod. Auch ein Besuch von Rudolf Steiner, dem Begründer der Anthroposophie, ist belegt. Zu den Gästen gehörte auch Albert Einstein, der in den Jahren 1911 und 1912 theoretische Physik an der Prager Universität lehrte. An ihn erinnert eine Büste neben dem Hauseingang.

Teynkirche

Die gotische Kirche der Jungfrau Maria vor dem Teyn (Kostel Panny Marie před Týnem) entstand zusammen mit dem Teynhof (Ungelt) als Hospitalkirche für fremde Kaufleute. Mit ihren zwei 80 Meter hohen Türmen ist sie eines der Wahrzeichen der Hauptstadt. Das Westportal zum Altstädter Ring ist umbaut mit vorgelagerten Häusern und ist zugänglich durch das Gebäude der Teynschule. Im 15. Jahrhundert war die Teynkirche eine Hauptkirche der Hussiten, hier predigte der hussitische Erzbischof Jan Rokycana. Heute gehört sie der katholischen Kirche.

Teynschule

Das Gebäude der ehemaligen Teynschule (Týnská škola) steht vor dem Hauptportal der Teynkirche. Das ursprünglich gotische Gebäude aus dem 14. Jahrhundert wurde im 16. Jahrhundert im Stil der venezianischen Renaissance umgebaut. Die Gebäudefront ziert ein barockes Fresko mit dem Motiv der Mariä Himmelfahrt. Bis zum 19. Jahrhundert war hier eine Lateinschule untergebracht, in der auch der böhmische Baumeister Matthias Rejsek als Rektor und Lehrer tätig war.

Palais Goltz-Kinsky

Das Rokoko-Palais Golz-Kinsky (Palác Goltz-Kinských oder Palác Kinských) an der Ostseite des Platzes wurde von Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer geplant und 1755–1765 von Anselmo Lurago errichtet. Im 19. Jahrhundert war hier ein Gymnasium mit deutscher Unterrichtssprache, das unter anderen auch Franz Kafka und Max Brod besuchten. Heute gehört das Haus der Prager Nationalgalerie (Národní galerie v Praze), die es für Kunstausstellungen nutzt. Außerdem beherbergt es die wertvolle restaurierte Kinsky-Bibliothek und die Verwaltung der Nationalgalerie.

Haus Zur steinernen Glocke

Rechts neben dem Palais Golz-Kinsky steht das Haus Zur steinernen Glocke (Dům U kamenného zvonu). Es wurde im 14. Jahrhundert als eine prunkvolle städtische Residenz erbaut. Es diente wahrscheinlich als ein vorübergehender Sitz des böhmischen Königspaares von Eliška Přemyslovna und Johann von Luxemburg, den Eltern des künftigen Kaisers Karl IV., der hier möglicherweise geboren ist. Das ursprünglich gotische Haus wurde im 17. Jahrhundert komplett barockisiert. Im Zuge einer aufwendigen Rekonstruktion in den Jahren 1975–1988 konnte seine ursprüngliche gotische Gestalt weitgehend wiederhergestellt werden. Das Haus zählt heute zu Prags wertvollsten gotischen Baudenkmälern. Seit 1988 gehört es der Prager Nationalgalerie, die hier Kunstausstellungen und Konzerte veranstaltet.

Ehemaliges Paulanerkloster
Vom ehemaligen Paulanerkloster (Klášter paulánů) neben der St.-Salvator-Kirche ist nur ein Haus an der nordöstlichen Ecke des Altstädter Ringes, an der Straße Dlouhá, Haus Nr. 930/7, übrig geblieben. Die übrigen Gebäude wurden im Rahmen einer radikalen Modernisierung der Stadt an der Wende des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts abgerissen. Die von den deutschen Lutheranern gebaute St.-Salvator-Kirche wurde nach der protestantischen Niederlage in der Schlacht am Weißen Berg konfisziert und im Jahr 1626 den Paulanern übergeben. Sie erwarben noch benachbarte Häuser dazu und bauten angrenzend an die Kirche ein großes Klostergebäude mit einer dem Platz zugewandten Fassade. Die Attika des noch heute erhaltenen Hauses ist geschmückt mit Statuen des Bildhauers Mathias Wenzel Jäckel aus dem Jahr 1696. An der Spitze der Attika steht die Statue des Salvators, darunter in einer Nische eine Statue des italienischen Ordensgründers Franz von Paola.

Im Rahmen der josephinischen Kirchenreformen wurden die Kirche und das Kloster im Jahr 1784 säkularisiert und der Stadt übergeben. Die St.-Salvator-Kirche gehört heute der Evangelischen Kirche der Böhmischen Brüder.

St.-Nikolaus-Kirche

Die barocke St.-Nikolaus-Kirche (Kostel svatého Mikuláše) am Altstädter Ring ist kunsthistorisch nicht so bedeutend, wie die gleichnamige Kirche auf der Kleinseite. Sie ist aber eine der baulichen Dominanten der Altstadt. In ihrer wechselvollen Geschichte hat sie mehrmals ihren Besitzer und ihre Bestimmung gewechselt. Sie war Pfarrkirche der Altstadt, ein Zentrum der hussitischen Reformation, lutherische Kirche, Klosterkirche der Benediktiner, diente zeitweise als Lagerhalle und Konzertsaal, und wurde vor dem 1. Weltkrieg von der russisch-orthodoxen Kirche benutzt. Heute gehört sie der Tschechoslowakischen Hussitischen Kirche.

Denkmäler

Jan-Hus-Denkmal

Das bronzene Denkmal des böhmischen Reformators Jan Hus (Pomník mistra Jana Husa) steht in der Mitte des Platzes. Es wurde im Jahr 1915, am fünfhundertsten Jahrestag der Verbrennung von Jan Hus auf dem Scheiterhaufen in Konstanz, enthüllt. Das Werk von Ladislav Šaloun zählt zu den bedeutendsten Jugendstilarbeiten der monumentalen tschechischen Bildhauerei.

Mariensäule

Bis zum Jahr 1918 stand vor der Teynkirche eine 14 Meter hohe Mariensäule (Mariánský sloup). Sie wurde auf Anordnung Kaisers Ferdinand III. kurz nach dem Ende des Dreißigjährigen Krieges errichtet, als Dank für die Rettung der Prager Altstadt vor den protestantischen schwedischen Truppen. Am 3. November 1918, wenige Tage nach der Ausrufung der selbstständigen Tschechoslowakei, wurde sie als ein Symbol der Niederlage am Weißen Berg und der habsburgischen Oberherrschaft von Demonstranten niedergerissen. Am 23. Januar 2020 stimmte der Prager Magistrat für die Wiedererrichtung der Mariensäule. Im Juni 2020 kehrte die Rekonstruktion der Mariensäule auf den Altstädter Ring zurück.

Prager Meridian
Der Prager Meridian (pražský poledník) ist eine Markierung, die an den Koordinaten 14°25′17″ östlich von Greenwich am Altstädter Ring, in der Nähe des Jan-Hus-Denkmals, in den Boden eingesetzt ist. Der Meridian wurde seit 1652 verwendet, um verlässlich anzuzeigen, wann die Sonne im Zenit ist, also wann es Mittagszeit ist. Dazu reichte es, zu beobachten, wann sich der Meridian mit dem Schatten der Mariensäule deckt. Ein Vergleich des Prager Meridians mit den später im Prager Clementinum verwendeten genaueren Sonnenuhren zeigte eine Abweichung von nur 1 Sekunde.

Um den Verlauf des Meridians zu markieren, wurde in den 1990er Jahren eine Messingschiene mit lateinischer und tschechischer Aufschrift und einem wegführenden Streifen aus Stein in das Pflaster eingesetzt. Die Aufschrift lautet: "POLEDNÍK, PODLE NĚHOŽ BYL V MINULOSTI ŘÍZEN PRAŽSKÝ ČAS / MERIDIANUS QUO OLIM TEMPUS PRAGENSE DIRIGEBATUR".

Denkmal der Hinrichtungen von 1621

In den Boden vor dem Altstädter Rathaus sind 27 Kreuze, dazu Symbole von gekreuzten Schwertern mit Dornenkrone und das Datum 21. VI. 1621 im Steinpflaster eingesetzt. Dieses Denkmal erinnert an die Stelle, an der an diesem Tag 27 Anführer des Böhmischen Ständeaufstandes gegen die Habsburger öffentlich hingerichtet wurden. Eine bronzene Gedenktafel an der Rathauswand daneben trägt die Namen der Opfer. Die Hinrichtungen dienten zu Abschreckung der Bevölkerung. Sie fanden vor den Augen Tausender Zuschauern statt und dauerten 4 Stunden. Auf Befehl des habsburgischen Königs Ferdinand II. wurden zwölf der abgetrennten Köpfe anschließend am Altstädter Brückenturm aufgehängt, einige Körper der Hingerichteten wurden zerstückelt und an verschiedenen Orten in Prag zur Abschreckung öffentlich ausgestellt.

Always wanted to read. Which version do you recommend?
Every translation is different, and no one is really correct from what I've understood. Maybe you can try the translation of E.A. Wallis Budge? If I remember well Marie Cachet used that. I have read the version of G. Kolpaktchy in Italian, it seems however that it has not been translated in English.
Grazie, signore! I'm looking forward to reading this.
Excellent analysis, Fabio. You gathered some very relevant parts that i didn't remember at all. I must re-read it. Personally i went through the Italian version by Boris De Rachewiltz. It was good, i can recommend it – but at the time it was quite puzzling, i think i was misguided by some "academic explanations" of the text. Yup: no breaking news here. Anyways, thanks.
Every version is different, no one is really definitive and close to the original text. I have used the version of G. Kolpaktchy. Possibly the best thing would be to compare different versions. Thanks for the appreciations, I hope you will enjoy the blog even if I will not write as many posts as in the last year (because I have said much about what I intended to say when I started the blog).
Yes, no problem: i will simply use the Archive links to explore your whole blog.
As other posters have said it can be difficult to find undistorted translations of these sacred writings, hopefully some of their light can still shine through to us.
"The Book of the Dead" is on my reading list for the summer, the excerpts I've read so far are way too intriguing to leave it sitting in my waiting list for too long.
By the way, I've always been fascinated by the symbolism of the Cosmic Egg represented as an egg surrounded by a snake.
I wonder how our forefathers knew so much about what modern men consider visible only through the means of microscopy.

The ocean's aquamarines and seafoam greens are shifting as climate change warms the planet. A study published Monday in Nature Communications predicts that the colors of the world's oceans will intensify by the end of this century as changes in phytoplankton patterns alter light reflection.
The greener the ocean water, the more phytoplankton occur there.
Water molecules absorb all visible light except for those at blue wavelengths, making the ocean appear blue. When phytoplankton float near the surface, they change how incoming light reflects. Typically, the greener the ocean water, the more phytoplankton occur there. Satellites can differentiate subtle changes in hues from hundreds of kilometers away.
Previous research has suggested that warming waters will alter phytoplankton distribution in the ocean, but pinpointing this trend in the data can be difficult because commonly used metrics fluctuate due to other factors like El Niño and La Niña. The latest study models ocean color using a metric that better resolves long-term trends.
Blue regions in the subtropics will grow bluer as fewer phytoplankton are able to survive in its waters.
Models that include light reflectance as well as the complex physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes in the ocean are rare. This study is the first to consider the impact of climate change on ocean color.

Excellent exercise; people; studio; everything.
I love all of it. The services and everything.
I love the atmosphere of the studio. Wonderful, fun loving people dancing!
Bellydance and fitness classes all in one location! Great Instructors, students have fun while learning.
Amazing people promoting self love and expression. I have seen them grow over many years and they just keep getting better. Best place to find a dance community with just loving instructors.
The facility is clean and welcoming. Very genuinely kind staff. Great experience!
Really enjoy the class, the instructor is very patient and you can tell she enjoys what she does!
Very personal 😄. Super inviting location.
Classes, atmosphere and quality instruction.
Many styles of dance classes available. Many opportunities to perform. Friendly and supportive instructors and staff.
Very friendly people instructors great. Lots of fun.
The studio has helped me to connect to myself and my body in a way I never thought possible. Before January, I had never considered myself a dancer or thought I'd ever understand choreography but now, I can't believe I haven't been doing this my whole life. You've helped me find dance expression that resonates with my soul!
Laid back, fun, good class times.
The class is fun and it's great exercise too.
What's not to like? Amazing teachers, warm, welcoming environment, fun classes & events...honestly, this is my happy place! I've never met a bigger group of strong, independent, empowering, accepting, encouraging, diverse, beautiful group of women...ever!!! I drive about 30 miles, one way to come to this studio and it is sooo worth it!!
I experienced a massage and the massage therapists' techniques (Johanna) were very helpful in release of tension and relaxation. She was very thorough and spent a great deal of time with me. She asked many questions ahead of time to ensure she understood my needs at the beginning of the massage and let that inform her approach during the massage.
I felt welcomed and at ease. The teacher too extra time to help me with some of the steps. I will be back.


"This bracket has now been discontinued by Peerless and we no longer have any stock. Why not give us a call and let us help you find the bracket you need?"
This bracket gives almost the maximum flexibility possible for a small screen TV. It's got a single articulated arm which allows you to pull your TV away from the wall and position where you want it. You may also want to consider the PEWV510 which has a double articulated arm giving even more movement left and right and away from the wall.
However, the Peerless PEWV140 should suit most peoples needs if you just need a bit of pull out and positioning.

You—Yes, You!—Would Be a Better Owner for Twitter Than Elon Musk
When he was playing by joining Twitter or buying the company this week, Elon Musk posted a number of ideas on the platform, ranging from the "free speech" offer to the tweets editing button. User waves are heavy, knowing full well that any changes can be made in the home. But what if ordinary Twitter users had real power over these decisions? Instead of just liking it and repeating it, what if they would say and vote on the issues that affected their online experiences?
The Twitter ownership problem started long before Musk's actions began. Conversations with areas where Twitter is regularly, legally, purchased and sold. The prospect of giving an important part of the development of this democracy to the richest man in the world is a hallmark of the system.
Musk's goal of monitoring Twitter instead of democracy and free speech is well known. In 2018 he he promised listeners to the South and Southwest that there will be a direct democracy in its territories on Mars — even as it hinders the integration of Tesla employees. And in 2020, when the epidemic broke out, it forced the production of Tesla to resume in Fremont, California, in defiance of what local health officials had suggested, which led to the outbreak. Giving absolute power to one person is not the best way to achieve more democracy.
In 2016, our concern about Twitter vulnerability prompted us to set up Buy Twitter, a campaign launched when the company encountered another acquisition problem, either by Salesforce, or possibly by Disney. With many partners and shareholders, we suggested that the company learn how to transform consumer ownership into a democratic state. User groups are able to learn and create great team ideas for voting. Perhaps users will be able to dispute and select corrective measures, for example, and place those who have encountered a problem on the platform by deciding how to avoid it in the future. Perhaps cultivating a good community property would be more important for businesses than raising the share price.
"It sounds great," WIRED said at the time! We cited examples of permanent ownership and accountability such as the Associated Press, a global nonprofit organization with thousands of media organizations operating, and the Green Bay Packers, a fan favorite football team of its own. Following the media upheaval, our campaign culminated with a vote at the 2017 Twitter share conference. Nearly 5 percent of all Twitter shares voted in favor – not the win, but the first confirmation of an idea that has been circulating ever since.
No major and established professional company like Twitter has turned into a consumer. But over the years, more and more signs of hope for a democratic profession have appeared. Twitter alone probably followed our ideas, at least a little bit. In 2019, he is CEO Jack Dorsey he announced Bluesky, a project "to create an open and transparent approach to social media." This can lead to networks with multiple types of ownership and management, rather than a single company.
The former is facing severe financial and cultural pressure to "leave" the purchase of a large company or go public on the market. These pressures drive the many dangerous risks that technology brings to people today, because they are looking for every benefit. A good start requires better methods. From our #BuyTwitter campaign, we have created a "out-of-the-box" game book with a variety of startups who want to ensure that users and employees benefit in the long run. With the Zebras Unite marketing team, in 2020 we have teamed up with 12 startups to develop a game book, and since then we have talked with about 100 companies, from platform start-up artists to mad teams, all exploring ways to change the region.

Top Best 5 Free Website Hosting 2018 : Are You Looking For Good , Best Free Web Hosting for 2018 To Host Your Website Online To Show the World Your business. if yes, Then you are in the right place so today in this article about website we gonna list out 5 best free website hosting for 2018. All People Love Free stuffs and it should come as no surprise that even in terms of web hosting there are tons of free website hosting providers for 2018 if you know where to look. obviously Paid Website hosting are gives you more stuff , supports and many thing compared to free website hosting what so ever if you get something free why should we leave that because someone said "Something is Better Then Nothing".
It is reliable affordable and highly secured web hosting solution.Great uptime and support when I need it.
Web hosting is not a challenging task. It is just enough to know about the basic terms like IP address .A record, DHS and cPanel.
Instead of directly informing you about the steps, will exptain you the basic clearly.
Best web hosting services and it give us and outstanding service always.
VP S hosting dedicated severs, WordPress hosting and resaller hostng 99.9% and if you buy this services can have a 30 days money back guarantee.
000webhost is one of the very few web hosts which give you the ability to host your website while paying nothing. This may sound like a hoax or a fraud but 000webhost has been in the paid hosting business for around 4 years.
There is a 99% uptime guarantee for free accounts, but in the case of 000Webhost, you'll have to consider that there's an enforced one-hour sleep period per day. That means your actual uptime starts at 95.83% – less any actual tchnical difficulties.
I've been round and again over this site but there doesn't seem to be any mention at all an uptime guarantee, which is a little frightening. The only time money-back is mentioned is within its 30-day grace period of paid accounts.
It's interesting to note that Byet Host offers 24/7 support even to free accounts. Even if they take some time to service tickets, it's not often you see a free host that offers real support. Most of the time either knowledge bases are used, or at best, a user forum where you help one another.
FreehostingNoAds appears to be another hosting site which doesn't believe in uptime guarantees. However, users who join are offered technical support, even on the free plans. It doesn't, however, clarify what nature that support takes – it could be a simply a reference to a knowledge base or FAQ.
Somebody essentially help to make seriously posts I would state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to create this particular publish extraordinary. Excellent job!
