COVINGTON, Ky. —
Using the video camera on her cellphone to document a summer storm has become Katie Woodring's life.
"It's embarrassing. It's horrible. I hate to admit it," Woodring said.
Woodring is talking about what happens when drains on East 36th Street start backing up. The drains are linked to Covington's combined sanitary and storm sewer lines.
"We've had, since 2010, 14 backups into our house," Woodring said. "People often call them floods. Floods are just clean rainwater or water from a river. So you have not only the rainwater and the storm runoff, but you also have everything that flushes from your toilet."
"It's really upsetting," Lora Bolton said.
Bolton is Woodring's neighbor. She said she doesn't understand why Sanitation District No. 1, Northern Kentucky's waste and stormwater management agency, hasn't done more to keep raw sewage from flowing into her basement.
"They say there's a plan, but it's been, like, three years, four years since we have gone to the meetings, and we're still waiting," Bolton said.
In a lawsuit filed in Kenton County Circuit Court, Bolton and 25 others claim SD1 has acted negligently and has even trespassed into their homes with its sewage.
"Our argument is they're basically using the basements of these homeowners as storage facilities for their sewage and they're not paying," attorney Jeremy Deters said. "They're not paying any money for their taking of the basements to store their sewage."
That's a legal argument that clearly holds water for Bolton and Woodring.
"Enough's enough. You know, I've done everything that I possibly can," Bolton said.
WLWT investigator Todd Dykes went to SD1's main office in Fort Wright on Thursday to get the agency's response to the lawsuit.
SD1's general counsel declined to comment and referred Dykes to an outside counsel. Dykes left a message with that attorney but has not heard back.
SD1 does have what's called a backflow valve program, which is designed to keep sewer water out of homes.
But Bolton and Woodring are reluctant to go that route, since they said it could push more water out of the city's drains onto their street and, subsequently, into their homes.


It's crazy to observe our extreme sense of adjustment to everything that happens around us in India. Being a Bambaiyya, I have grown up in an atmosphere of adjustment to everything - from adjusting to accommodate a fourth passenger on a train seat that can fit just 3 people, to adjusting to traffic snarls caused by snail-paced infrastructure development. One spends a good deal of time and effort fighting for the basics - electricity, water, transport, a house-maid, and almost everything else! And at the end of the exercise, you end up becoming a pro at adjustment. But extrapolating this sense of adjustment to a greater political and economic arena and expecting the average Indian to adjust to swindling behavior by a handful of crooks who choose to not just swindle the nation of a few crores and in some cases a few lac crores, but also to make the average taxpayer look absolutely foolish is perhaps stretching the 'thoda adjust please' concept a bit too far.
That's why, a new scam story hitting the papers each day is not just disgusting to me as an average Indian, but it's also extremely frustrating to know that while I and maybe half a billion other working people in my country are much too busy working, a handful of characterless and morally dead individuals choose to subvert the very meaning of the word law and turn every single public office into a viable money manufacturing machine! And each day, the stories get murkier. Long long ago, a supposed clean PM got embroiled in a scandal involving kickbacks on a defense deal. Then came a couple of huge stock market scams involving forgeries, and massive insider dealing. In the recent past, we've had scams in real estate, with benaami properties, nameless bank accounts, unverifiable customers swindling huge sums of money, nepotistic dealings by people in power - you name it, we have it and if we don't just wait for a bit!
And now, we have the massive 2G scam, wherein as a dirty, murky plot comes to the fore, one gets more and more disillusioned about the whole civil system as a whole! So we have the 2G spectrum airwaves to be used by telecom companies (demand side) sold the same by our government (supply). The Govt sells it dirt cheap to some unrecognizable players for peanuts. You think the Government has been cheated in the bargain, but as it turns out, it is just the taxpayer and the economy of the country that have been cheated. The spectrum sold by the govt for peanuts, finds buyers for over 10 times that price, amongst huge global players, begging the question why they were sold dirt cheap in the first place. And in this story, the main characters allegedly range from a ruffian Indian political party and all its cronies to one of the doyens of Indian industry, to countless babus in places of power.
And while the media has enough stories to fill reams and reams of paper, hog airwaves 24x7, one hopes that something would be done about the perpetrators of such dubious acts. Although, I do wonder, while staring in disgust at the blatant indecency of the whole mess, why must we believe that those, smart enough to conceptualize and pull off such a swindle, might just not be smart enough to buy their way out as well! After all, even a 0.01% of 1 lac 76000 crores can cover anyone's legal fees plus bribes for 7 generations!!!
I like leeaving onnnnn a JET plane!

Als Doppeltriebwagen, abgekürzt DT oder DTW, werden zwei permanent miteinander verbundene Triebwagen einer Bahn bezeichnet. Meist handelt es sich hierbei um zwei fest gekuppelte vierachsige Fahrzeuge mit je zwei Drehgestellen. Die beiden Hälften funktionieren zwar elektrisch betrachtet wie eine Doppeltraktion, können aber im Gegensatz zu dieser im laufenden Betrieb nicht voneinander getrennt werden beziehungsweise sind generell einzeln nicht fahrfähig. Doppeltriebwagen sind zueinander spiegelverkehrt aufgebaute Zweirichtungsfahrzeuge, mit jeweils einem Führerstand an den äußeren Enden der Fahrzeugkombination. Elektrisch betriebene Fahrzeuge dieser Art haben häufig nur an einem Fahrzeugteil einen Stromabnehmer, wenn die beiden Wagen durch die (Kurz-)Kupplung elektrisch miteinander verbunden sind.

Ferner wird zwischen Doppeltriebwagen mit und ohne Übergangsmöglichkeit zwischen den beiden Fahrzeugteilen unterschieden. Doppeltriebwagen mit Übergang ähneln bauartmäßig stark einem Gelenkfahrzeug. Teilen sich die beiden Wagenkästen hingegen ein gemeinsames Jakobsdrehgestell oder sind aufeinander aufgesattelt, wird in der Regel nicht mehr von einem Doppeltriebwagen, sondern einem Gelenktriebwagen gesprochen.

Eng mit den Doppeltriebwagen verwandt sind außerdem die früher vor allem in Ungarn eingesetzten Zwillingstriebwagen bei der Straßenbahn, die manchmal ebenfalls Doppeltriebwagen genannt werden. Diese bestanden jedoch aus zwei identischen Wagen, hatten keine Übergangsmöglichkeit und wurden zudem oft erst nachträglich zusammengefügt.

Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition, a re-release of the gorgeous and thoroughly-good platformer that adds "new areas, difficulty options, and gameplay upgrades," was originally supposed to be out last fall. Developer Moon Studios announced in December, well after that season had come and gone, that the update had been delayed to the spring of this year, which it recently nailed down to March 11. Just two days ahead of that date, it's been delayed again, but only on the PC. The Xbox One version will go out as scheduled.
Beyond that disappointment, the update reveals a bit more about some of the changes in the Definitive Edition. The two new areas, Black Root Burrows and Lost Grove, have their own unique visual themes and mechanics, and there are a pair of new core skills to learn as well, Dash and Light Burst. Pricing was also revealed: Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition will sell for $20, and owners of the original will have the option of upgrading for $5.
Update: The story originally indicated that the listed pricing had only been confirmed for the Xbox One version of the game. A rep has since confirmed that it will also apply to the PC release.

More qubits than you know what to do with Mar 01, 2012 7:54 AM PST | url
Added 1 new A* page:
A* Episode 16, Page 8
Finally knuckled down and used the Copic Multiliner markers for laying lines directly over pencils--that's what I got them for, after all--and I'll be darned if it didn't actually work out pretty well. Huzzah!
IBM just announced that its researchers have developed "superconducting qubits which retain their quantum states up to 100 microseconds -- an improvement of two to four times prior records."
Now, if you're like me, you're saying "what the heck is a qubit?" Turns out it's the quantum mechanical version of a regular computing bit; where bits can be either 0 or 1, a qubit can be 0, 1, or...both simultaneously. Yay, quantum mechanics!
Now, what a qubit actually is, physically, is sort of left to the imagination, but I guess it's any sort of particle whose quantum states you can manipulate for your own ends; and then in addition to having...sort of...the capability of three states instead of the regular old two, you can actually get more functionality out of it in operations by taking advantage of quantum entanglement and teleportation; I've talked about those before, but basically it's a wacky quantum quirk of particles spawned from the same event (in which case they are "entangled"), where in order for conservation of energy to be preserved, they essentially have to share states--so if you alter the state of one of them, the other one, even far away, changes to match! So by playing with the possibilities of that, using tricks falling under the heading of superdense coding (sounds like the kind I do... :p), you can in effect get the computational power of *two* regular bits out of a single qubit.
Anyway, to make a real, functioning quantum computer, you need to have lots of these qubits obeying commands and persisting long enough to execute them and pass along a result. I'm guessing we're still a good long ways off having one of those that's actually better (and not 10 billionty times more expensive) than the computer you're using now, but hey, progress is being made--I just hope they don't call them "quputers" or something similarly awful :p. IBM doesn't talk about how close something that's actually useful is, of course; aside from news of the increased duration of state retention, their news release appears to have been mostly hype, throwing around silly statements like "For example, a single 250-qubit state contains more bits of information than there are atoms in the universe."
That caught my attention as something I could actually fasten on, rather than all that nutty quantum-think. So let's think about what it might mean. The observable universe--which is to say, the part of the universe we can hope to see, based on particles from it being able to reach us at the speed of light
image by Azcolvin429 (source)
--is said to contain maybe 10^80 atoms (that's 10 to the 80th power, ie 1 followed by 80 zeros). Of course we can't see the rest of the universe, so who knows how many atoms or green munchkins it might have, but if it's more or less like the part we can see, and Guth's theory of cosmic inflation is correct, then the universe is "at least" 10^23 times bigger than the observable part, ie containing at least 10^103 atoms. Whew!
Now, I'm not entirely sure what "a single 250-qubit state" is supposed to mean, but maybe it means 250 qubits of data. How much is that? Well, if it was regular bits, it would be 2 (two states) to the 250th power, or about 1.8 * 10^75.
Dang, that isn't even the number of atoms in the observable universe, much less the universe! Ah, but if this was qubits, which have at least three states, then it would be 3 rather than 2 to the 250th power, or about 1.9 * 10^119 -- which is waaaaay more than the theoretical number of atoms in the universe.
So there you go, I guess.
Incidentally, that Wikipedia "observable universe" article I linked also has this interesting comment about the possible size of the universe:
If the universe is finite but unbounded, it is also possible that the universe is smaller than the observable universe. In this case, what we take to be very distant galaxies may actually be duplicate images of nearby galaxies, formed by light that has circumnavigated the universe.
In which case, who need qubits? :P

For every new year starts you'll have to throw out your old calendar and invest in a new one. As the saying goes, by helping cover their the actual, together with the new. Calendars are already indispensable to many individuals ever since they were first used. They assist in keeping tracks of appointments and special dates. For company owners, they will provide calendars recommended to their customers each and every year in their marketing strategy. Nevertheless, some businesses are concern with the money necessary for printing a calendar in particular when it calls for a great deal of color.

Over the years I have seen the Fernandes brand pop up from time to time and I have often thought that these Japanese made "Law Suit" guitars looked pretty cool.
So recently, I managed to get my hands on a late 80s (possibly early 90s) black on black 70s Fender Stratocaster copy, which we'll obviously be looking at. So let's dive in, I've got a heap of cool pics for you to checkout, but first off, lets hear how she sounds….
In this first video Darren is playing through an all original USA made 1980s Silverface Fender Twin Reverb. The tube Screamer mentioned in this video, as with the rest of the following videos is the made in Japan TS9DX Turbo Tubescreamer version, the Rat pedal is the USA made version with the LM308 OP chip.
Greco Spacey Sound SE450 : Is this Japanese Vintage at its best!
I have mentioned before that I love a nice vintage Japanese Strat clone, or Les Paul, as they made absolute cracker instruments. It is also well noted by many amateurs and experts alike that a lot of these instruments were on par or surpassed the US made gear at the time with their quality workmanship, components, feel and tone.
Editors Note: Unfortunately we didn't get any pics of the actual guitar in review, so to give you all a visual, I grabbed some candy apple red, 62 Re-issue Fender Stratocaster pics off the net.
For some reason, I have owned too many Strats, I just keep coming back to them as they sort of really are a guitar staple, like the Les Paul, the Telecaster and whatever you consider to be a classic!
Anyways, back to the guitar…. So here we are, at Darren's house shooting some vids of all of the different guitars I have in stock using a Marshall JCM-800, when Darren decides to get his guitar out to see how she sounds through the amp.
Now I've got to mention at this point, I've only known Darren for about a month or so, and I've heard him talk about his MIJ Strat before, and how he's done a few mods here and there, but I've never actually seen it, so when he came walking out from the hall with his Strat hanging from his shoulder I was, to say the least a little surprised by what I saw.
Firstly, let's check out this video. In it, Darren shares a little story about his guitar and some of the mods his done to it.


Homeowners should be familiar with insect pests and diseases, their life cycles, and their damage. Problems must be identified and proper control methods selected. The situation is often complex because problems vary from one area of Texas to another and from one year to the next. Plant diseases are most severe during periods of frequent rain or dew and mild temperatures. Early-maturing peach varieties are more likely to have brown rot than late-maturing varieties, but late varieties are often damaged more by peach scab. Healthy plants are more able to survive some insect and disease damage than plants already stressed by cultural problems. Optimum tree growth is maintained by following a well-balanced fertility program, selecting adapted disease-resistant varieties, and irrigating and pruning as needed. Clean-up and residue disposal are important in reducing plum curculio, hickory shuckworm, brown rot of peach and pecan scab. Diseased material that is properly composted can be recycled as mulch or organic material.
Mix pesticides in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Avoid chemical contact with the skin and do not breathe chemical vapors. Apply pesticides at the proper rate. Using less chemical then prescribed may result in poor control, while using more than recommended may result in excessive residue on the fruit or in plant damage. Store chemicals in a secure area away from pets and children. Prepare only the amount required for one application. Properly dispose of any unused, diluted sprays and empty pesticide containers. A number of different sprayers can be used to apply insecticides and fungicides. Compressed air sprayers range in size from 1 to 10 gallons; because of cost and handling ease, most homeowners prefer the 2 1/2- to 3-gallon sizes. Hose-on sprayers are less expensive but require a high volume of water, moderate pressure and a convenient water outlet. Once a sprayer has been used, it is considered a used pesticide container and requires proper handling and storage. Proper cleaning prolongs its life. Do not apply insecticides and fungicides with a sprayer previously used to apply herbicides; this may cause plant damage.
Suggested pesticides are registered and labeled for use by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Department of Agriculture. The status of pesticide label clearances is subject to change, and may have changed since this publication was printed.County Extension agents and appropriate specialists are advised of changes as they occur. The USER always is responsible for the effects of pesticide residues on livestock and crops, as well as for problems that arise from drift or movement of the pesticide from one's property to that of others.
ALWAYS READ AND CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CONTAINER LABEL.

*Due to variation in the concentration of pesticides in different products, refer to the label for the specific rate per 1 gallon spray solution.
Peaches, Plums, Nectarines, and Apricots – Use sulfur fungicides throughout the spray program. Decrease application interval to shortest interval allowed. Shortened intervals are important during the late bloom, shuck split and first cover period and again during the preharvest period. These are periods when fruit diseases are most damaging.
Pecans – Copper sulfate is considered an organic fungicide and some formulations are approved for use on pecans to control pecan scab and other foliage diseases. Copper sulfate is highly toxic to fruit trees such as peaches, plums, apricots and nectarines, and to some ornamental plants. Be careful when using this product around sensitive plants if there is a possibility of drift.
General Considerations – Most plant diseases require that the leaf, fruit or nut remain wet for a certain length of time for infection to occur. The following precautions should be taken to reduce the length of time the plant is wet following dew or rainfall: (1) prune trees to allow sunlight to penetrate the leaf canopy; (2) space trees to allow for air circulation; (3) plant trees in an area that will receive early morning sun and where air circulation will not be blocked by buildings or other plants; and (4) avoid wetting the tree during irrigation.
Select varieties that have natural resistance to the major diseases of your area. Resistance does not mean immunity to infections, but fungicide applications are usually more effective on plants with some resistance.
MID-JANUARY – DORMANT OIL SPRAY for control of obscure scale and phylloxera. Temperature must be 40-70 F.
LATE FEBRUARY – (before buds break) – DORMANT OIL SPRAY for control of phylloxera. Spray all limb surfaces, paying particular attention to the tree trunk. This is where the phylloxera like to overwinter.
MARCH (or when leaves are half-grown, pre-pollination) – Insecticide like X-Ecute (or other suggestions on product information list below). Fungicides like Benelate 50WP or BENOMYL and Zinc Sulphate to feed leaves and control rosette.
MAY (post-pollination when pecan nutlets turn brown and bloom ends) – Repeat March/April applications.
JUNE-SEPTEMBER – Your spray schedule now falls into 15-day cycles (10-day cycle during heavy rain). During periods of rain showers, inspect pecan leaves, nuts and bark for insects, insect egg deposits and indications of fungi.
AUGUST – Regardless of what day your spray application is due, BE SURE to apply insecticide and fungicide along with zinc sulphate on Aug. 15 or as close to this date as possible. This application is necessary to control the hickory shuckworm.
Do not spray any application after pecan shucks splits or during harvest. After harvest, spray schedule may be resumed to control walnut caterpillar, fall webworm and fall foliage diseases. It is important to try to keep your trees disease- and insect-free in order to keep the foliage on the tree as long as possible. Remember, between harvest and normal leaf drop and dormancy, the foliage is manufacturing food for next year's nut production.
DORMANT OIL (97% oil emulsion) – Ready available at most nuseries, garden centers and feed stores.
X-ECUTE (dimethoate) – A liquid insecticide made by Pro Tech. Made specifically for pecan trees. Avoid contact with any other vegetation around pecan tree. Also found at most full-service nurseries, solutions stores and feed stores. Other options for insecticide are Cygon 2 EC, Malathion 50%EC, Green Light Double Dursban 12.6%, and Green Light Neem Oil Concentrate for Fruit and Nut Trees.
ZINC SULPHATE – A unique combination of liquid zinc, nitrogen and other compounds. Significantly increases yield and quality and promotes even maturity. More importantly, controls the disease rosette.
DUTER (Triphenyl Tin Hydroxide) – A fungicide that has been effective in controlling certain diseases which have developed resistance to Benomyl.
BENLATE 50 WP (BENOMYL) – Getting harder to find, but still available at feed stores and solution stores. Other options include Benomyl and Green Light Neem Oil. Effective in controlling certain diseases like leaf spot, leaf curl, kernel rot and scab.

Eugenio García de Nora (Zacos, Magaz de Cepeda; 13 de noviembre de 1923-Madrid, 2 de mayo de 2018) fue un poeta español de la generación de la posguerra.

Biografía

Doctor en Filología románica, fundó junto con Antonio González de Lama y Victoriano Crémer la revista de poesía comprometida Espadaña en 1944. Publicó en otras revistas poéticas de la posguerra española, como Cisneros o Corcel. En 1953 obtiene el Premio Boscán de poesía por España, pasión de vida. En 1949 se traslada a Suiza para trabajar como profesor de Literatura española en la Universidad de Berna hasta su jubilación en 1989.

Entre 1945 y 1955 publica la mayor parte de su obra poética: Cantos al destino (1945), el clandestino Pueblo cautivo (1945-1946) publicado anónimo, pues contenía una incisiva crítica del régimen franquista, Amor prometido (1946), Contemplación del tiempo (1948), Siempre (1953) y España, pasión de vida (1953). Tras este libro sobrevendría un largo silencio hasta que en 1975 aparece una extensa antología de su obra poética titulada Poesía (1939-1964), en la que se incluía el nuevo poemario Angulares, que contiene poemas escritos entre los años 1955 y 1964.

Escribió también un estudio en tres volúmenes acerca de la novela española de posguerra titulado La novela española contemporánea (1958-62), inspirado por los principios del realismo social.

Desde sus inicios, Eugenio G. de Nora escribió una poesía comprometida social y políticamente, a la que Dámaso Alonso llamó poesía desarraigada, cuyo máximo exponente es su libro España, pasión de vida, de 1953. Sin embargo, la adscripción a la revista Espadaña y a las corrientes poéticas de compromiso social no debe hacer olvidar que Nora abordó otros temas relacionados con la condición humana, como el del amor. Así, ya en el poema inicial de Cantos al destino (1945) «Otra voz», se afirma la amplitud temática que caracterizará toda su producción poética, en especial la de los años 50. Amor, muerte, la preocupación por el paso del tiempo y el afán de trascendencia del ser humano van a ser los grandes temas de mucha de la poesía de Eugenio de Nora. El tono es elegíaco y a veces escéptico, revelando una visión existencialista del mundo.

De este modo, en Eugenio de Nora se observa por un lado una vertiente de su obra centrada en el momento histórico, la poesía de compromiso social, y por otro una poesía preocupada por el destino individual del hombre, en el sentido existencial, que estaría representada por obras como Contemplación del tiempo (1948), si bien este poemario no está exento de poemas en los que se recuerda la guerra civil y sus consecuencias traumáticas.

Pueblo cautivo (1945-1946) inaugura la poesía testimonial y de denuncia que caracterizará los libros posteriores de Gabriel Celaya o Blas de Otero.

España, pasión de vida (1953) tiene componentes noventayochescos y regeneracionistas, como muestran los siguientes versos:

Pero su tema principal es la reivindicación de la dimensión histórica de un pueblo y la preocupación política. La palabra España aparece con frecuencia obsesiva, y domina la exclamación y la interrogación retórica. El poemario constituye una amarga denuncia del pasado, pero también alberga esperanza en el futuro.

Falleció en Madrid el 2 de mayo de 2018 a causa de una insuficiencia respiratoria.

La lente obiettiva è l'obiettivo del cannocchiale col quale Galileo compì numerose osservazioni tra il 1609 e il 1610. È conservata al Museo Galileo di Firenze.

Egli osservò per primo, nel 1610, i satelliti di Giove, che battezzò "Pianeti Medicei". La grande scoperta fu annunciata nel Sidereus Nuncius, pubblicato a Venezia in quello stesso anno. La lente del cannocchiale col quale fu compiuta la scoperta fu donata da Galileo al Granduca Ferdinando II. In seguito essa si ruppe accidentalmente. Dopo la morte di Galileo (1642) la lente era conservata nella Guardaroba del Principe, poi Cardinale, Leopoldo de' Medici. Alla morte di questi (1675), entrò nella collezione medicea, custodita nella Galleria degli Uffizi, dove rimase fino al 1793, quando fu trasferita nel Museo di Fisica e Storia Naturale. A metà dell'Ottocento fu sistemata nella Tribuna di Galileo con altri cimeli galileiani.

Nel 1677 i Medici commissionarono a Vittorio Crosten la cornice montata su ebano, nella quale la lente è inserita.

Resident Evil 2 Remake Sells Five Million Units Worldwide To Surpass Original Game Sales
Dec 15, 2019 Lisa Nguyen 0 comments 356
Credit: Resident Evil 2 Official Website
Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake was a surprising return to the original trilogy. Even starting with the third title, the game became more action-focused and less about unlocking secrets and puzzles.
It's no surprise the remake has won several awards this year, including the Japan Game Awards' Award for Excellence and many games of the year nominations.
Resident Evil 2 introduces players to rookie cop Leon Kennedy and the first series' protagonist's little sister Claire Redfield. Both are trained in firearms, but none of them are prepared for a biological outbreak in Raccoon City. The remake also showcased high-resolution graphics, new character models for the game's stars, and an updated soundtrack.
Capcom recently announced on its Investor Relations website that the remake was highly successful, sales wide.
"The Resident Evil series has garnered high praise from both fans and the media internationally, with Resident Evil 2, a remake released in January of this year, achieving more than 5 million units in sales and being honored with Ultimate Game of the Year in the U.K. Golden Joystick Awards 2019—the highest prize awarded to games released in the current year." states the news release. This data is according to sales as of December 4, 2019, which is sure to sell even more thanks to holiday game sales.
Capcom didn't give any information about why the remake may have sold so much more. It's likely due to the game was sold on multiple consoles and PC at launch. Resident Evil 2 was also sold both physically and digitally, making it more accessible to players. The "one-shot" 30-minute demo (which has now been updated) certainly made skeptical fans more intrigued in the remake.
Since the debut of the series in 1996, the series has sold more than 94 million units worldwide. Capcom considers Resident Evil its "flagship game series."
The news came with the official announcement that the Resident Evil 3 remake was now in progress. Similar to the original game, RE3 stars the original game's Jill Valentine as she tries to escape Raccoon City. Capcom has stated in a special video feature that the title focuses more on action than puzzle solving.
The remake announcement came with a first-person and third-person trailer, plus a collector's edition of the game that comes with a Jill Valentine statue.

Mast, M.A., and Clow, David W., 2000, Environmental characteristics and water-quality of Hydrologic Benchmark Network stations in the Western United States, U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1173-D, 115 p.
All of the tables and figures are numbered as they appear in each circular. Use the navigation bar above to view the abstract, introduction and methods for the entire circular, as well as a map and list of all of the HBN sites. Use the table of contents below to view the information on this particular station.
The South Twin River HBN Basin is in the Basin and Range physiographic province in the central part of Nevada (Figure 14. Map showing the study area in the South Twin River Basin and photograph showing the basin landscape). The topography of the area is characterized by north- to northeast-trending mountain ranges separated by long alluviated valleys.
The South Twin River Basin is on the eastern side of the Toiyabe Range, which is cut by deeply incised drainages having spectacular cliffs and perennial streams (Brem and others, 1991). The basin drains 52 km² of rugged mountainous terrain and ranges in elevation from 1,951 m at the base of the Toiyabe Range to 3,588 m at the summit of Arc Dome. The HBN station is 24 km northwest of Round Mountain, Nev., at latitude 38°53'15'' and longitude 117°14'40''. The South Twin River is northeast flowing and has a channel length of 9.8 km upstream from the HBN station and an average stream gradient of 66 m/km. Downstream from the station, the river enters the Big Smoky Valley to the east where all but the highest flows are diverted into a concrete irrigation ditch. The channel upstream from the station is perennial, and mean monthly discharge varies from 0.064 m³/s in September to 0.70 m³/s in May during snowmelt. Average annual runoff from the basin was 11.4 cm during 1965 through 1995 (Bauer and others, 1996). Climate varies considerably with elevation but, in general, winters are long and summers are dry (Bailey and others, 1994). Average monthly air temperatures range from - 1.4°C to 22.2°C at elevations below 2,750 m and from -9.4° to 12.8°C at elevations above 2,750 m (Western Regional Climate Center, at URL http://www.wrcc.sage.dri.edu, accessed 1998). Average annual precipitation ranges from 20 cm in the valleys to as much as 75 cm at high elevations in the basin. More than 90 percent of precipitation falls as snow between October and May, accumulating in a seasonal snowpack that usually reaches 50 cm in depth. Intense thunderstorms are common in summer, especially in August, and can cause flash flooding.
The basin is in the Nevada Mountains Semidesert ecoregion (Bailey and others, 1994). Slopes in the lower part of the basin are covered by a dense juniper-pinyon forest and have an understory of sagebrush that grades upward into mountain big sagebrush and curlleaf mountain mahogany communities above 2,650 m (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1986b). Small stands of whitebark pine grow near the crest of the range on north-facing canyon walls. Vegetation along streams and around springs is dominated by cottonwood, quaking aspen, water birch, and willow. The mountain big sagebrush and the riparian communities have been degraded by past livestock grazing. The basin also contains large areas of rock outcrops that contain virtually no vegetation (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1986b). Soils in the basin are classified as Cryoborolls and are in the Foxvire-Packer-Scuffe soil association (John Fisher, Natural Resources Conservation Service, written commun., 1998). This association consists of deep, well-drained loamy soils that formed in residuum and colluvium derived from volcanic rocks. A typical profile has a surface layer of brown gravelly loam that is 50 cm thick overlying a sublayer of light brown, stony to gravelly loam that extends to a depth of 150 cm. Soils in this association have pH values ranging from 6.4 to 7.2 and consist of 45 to 80 percent rock fragments.
from a few centimeters to 3 m and generally consist of a matrix of quartz and carbonate minerals that include narrower ore zones of pyrite, gold, sphalerite, and galena. One mine site, referred to as the K claims, is located in the basin near the mouth of the South Fork of South Twin River. The mine site is in an area of high mineral potential, based on the study of Brem and others (1991), although it never produced more than small amounts of ore.
The South Twin River drains the northwest part of Nye County and is in the Tonopah Ranger District of the Toiyabe National Forest. Most of the basin also is in the boundaries of the Arc Dome Wilderness, which was classified as a proposed Wilderness Area in 1979 and received Federal designation on December 12, 1989 (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1990a). The wilderness is closed to all motorized vehicles and access in the basin is limited to a few foot trails that start from a gated road at the HBN station. Human activities in the basin are limited to dispersed recreational use, including hiking, horseback riding, and hunting. There are no developed recreational sites in the basin, although the trail paralleling the main stream channel is part of the Toiyabe Crest National Recreation Trail system that was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. Until 1991, cattle grazing was allowed in the basin from June through October, which caused considerable damage to riparian areas, particularly along the upper reaches of South Twin River (Tonopah Ranger District, Toiyabe National Forest, oral commun., 1998). Although permitted grazing is no longer allowed, about 30 head of wild cattle occasionally graze in the headwater areas of the basin (Tonopah Ranger District, Toiyabe National Forest, oral commun., 1998). The abandoned mine site (K claims) near the mouth of the South Fork South Twin River contains three underground workings and their associated waste-rock piles. Water produced in the adit does not exit the mine as surface flow and probably is not a substantial source of metals and acidity to stream water because much of the mineralized rock in the mine contains carbonate-filled voids and veinlets (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1990a). A plan of operation to resume mining at the K claims and to restore an access road was submitted to the Forest Service in 1988 (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1990a); however, the mine did not prove to be viable and the request was never approved (Tonopah Ranger District, Toiyabe National Forest, oral commun., 1998). A record high runoff in 1983 caused minor damage at the mine site and the access road and scoured much of the main channel of the South Twin River (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1990a).
part of the period of record probably were analyzed at a USGS district laboratory in Sacramento, Calif. (Durum, 1978). After establishment of the central laboratory system, samples were analyzed at the Salt Lake City, Utah, laboratory from 1973 to 1975 and at the NWQL in Arvada, Colo., from 1976 to 1994. Daily discharge records for South Twin River (station 10249300) are available beginning in August 1965, and daily water temperature was measured at the station from April 1966 through September 1982.
Calculated ion balances for 176 samples that have complete major-ion analyses are shown in figures 15a and 15b. Graphs showing temporal variation of discharge, field pH, major-ion concentrations, and ion balance in the South Twin River, Nevada. Ion balances ranged from -12 to +10 percent, and 95 percent of the samples had values within the ±5-percent range, indicating that the analytical results are of high quality. The average ion balance was -0.4 percent, indicating that unmeasured constituents, such as organic anions, are not an important component of stream water at this station. Time-series plots of the major dissolved constituents were inspected for evidence of method-related effects (fig. 15). Field pH values decreased somewhat abruptly at the beginning of 1973, which may have been caused by a change in measurement method or instrumentation used by field personnel. A similar shift in field pH also was observed at Steptoe Creek, another HBN station in Nevada, providing additional evidence that the pattern is probably an analytical artifact. The stepped pattern in the concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate was caused by changes in the analytical reporting limit for this constituent that occurred in 1982 and again in 1991.
a Values are volume-weighted mean concentrations for 1985-95.
moderately concentrated and well buffered; specific conductance ranged from 72 to 160 mS/cm, and alkalinity ranged from 580 to 1,500 meq/L (table 26). The major cation in stream water was calcium, and the major anion was bicarbonate. The high calcium to sodium ratio in stream water and the high concentrations of alkalinity indicate that most of the solute load in the stream is probably derived from weathering of carbonate minerals associated with mineralization rather than from dissolution of sodium- rich feldspars in the unaltered volcanic rocks. The median chloride concentration in stream water was 51 meq/L and was substantially greater than the VWM concentration of 2.8 meq/L in precipitation, indicating that most chloride is derived from sources other than precipitation. Because land use in the basin is minimal and the bedrock probably does not contain appreciable amounts of chloride, the most likely source of additional stream-water chloride may be wind-blown material derived from arid valleys to the west and east of the Toiyabe Range. The median concentration of sulfate in stream water (120 meq/L) also was substantially greater than the VWM concentration of 8.2 meq/L in precipitation. Although some stream-water sulfate may be derived from wind-blown dust, most is probably contributed by oxidation of pyrite in mineralized bedrock. Concentrations of inorganic nitrogen species in stream water were less than the average concentration in precipitation, indicating that most atmospheric nitrogen is retained by vegetation and soils in the basin. Low stream-water concentrations of nitrogen species also indicate that cattle grazing in the basin has not substantially affected nutrient concentrations at the HBN station.
The solute composition of stream water was further evaluated by analyzing correlations between solutes and stream discharge (table 27). Most weathering-derived constituents were negatively correlated with stream discharge, which is consistent with a hydrologic system where weathering-enriched base flow is diluted by water from shallow or surficial sources during periods of increased discharge, particularly spring snowmelt. For the solutes, the strongest correlations were found among calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity (0.773 < rho < 0.874), which is consistent with the weathering stoichiometry of carbonate minerals. The poor correlation between sodium and silica (rho = 0.043) was unexpected because feldspar minerals in the volcanic rocks should be the major source of sodium and silica. Sulfate was positively correlated with calcium (rho = 0.625) and magnesium (rho = 0.633), perhaps reflecting the presence of pyrite and carbonate minerals in mineralized veins.
a Trend calculated for 1971-95 using a trend test for censored data.
The results of the seasonal Kendall test for trends in discharge and major dissolved constituents are listed in table 28. A statistically significant trend was detected only in potassium concentrations at the 0.01 probability level. The magnitude and probability of the trend were similar for the unadjusted and flow-adjusted concentrations, indicating that the potassium trend was not caused by variations in stream discharge. The absence of trends in the major solutes was not unexpected because the basin is in a wilderness area and has had little land use, except grazing. The cause of the downward trend in potassium concentrations could not be identified. The LOWESS curve in figure 15 shows that potassium concentrations were fairly constant during the early part of the period of record and then declined gradually after 1984. The decrease in potassium probably was not an analytical artifact because the samples were analyzed at the NWQL since 1976 using a single technique. Environmental factors that may have affected stream-water potassium concentrations included livestock grazing and atmospheric deposition. The effect of cattle grazing on stream-water potassium concentrations is not known; however, grazing pressure in riparian areas has been substantially decreased since the establishment of the wilderness in 1979. Lynch and others (1995) reported declines in base-cation concentrations, including potassium, at several NADP stations in the southwestern part of the United States between 1980 and 1992. Although the trend in precipitation chemistry is consistent with the decline in stream-water potassium, confirmation of the linkage between precipitation and stream chemistry is difficult because no precipitation stations are located in or near the South Twin River Basin.
Results of the surface-water synoptic sampling of July 23-24, 1991, are presented in table 29, and locations of sampling sites are shown in figure 14. During the synoptic sampling, discharge at the HBN station was 0.082 m³/s compared to the median daily discharge of 0.12 m³/s for July and 0.07 m³/s for August (Lawrence, 1987), indicating that the basin was sampled under normal flow conditions for that time of year. Most of the solute concentrations measured at the HBN station (site 1) during the synoptic sampling were less than the first-quartile values reported for the station during the entire period of record, except for sodium and silica concentrations, which were higher (table 26). Water in the tributary streams were similar in composition to stream water at site 1, with calcium and bicarbonate the predominant solutes. Ion balances for the synoptic samples averaged 0.1 percent (ranging from -2.7 to 4.9 percent), indicating that unmeasured ions, such as organic anions, probably were not an important component of stream water during the synoptic sampling. Concentrations of the weathering-derived solutes did not vary markedly among the sampling sites, probably because of the small basin size and the relatively uniform composition of the bedrock. For example, calcium ranged from 360 to 900 meq/L, and alkalinity ranged from 620 to 1,180 meq/L (table 29). Silica was remarkably constant, varying only from 330 to 350 mmol/L. Sulfate concentrations also were fairly uniform and relatively low (average about 70 meq/L), particularly considering the presence of several mineralized zones in the basin. Site 4, which drains a weakly mineralized area on a southeast-facing slope, had the highest sulfate concentration. The high chloride concentration and southerly aspect of this site, however, may indicate that the high sulfate concentration is due to evapotranspiration rather than weathering of sulfides. The abandoned mine site did not seem to affect stream chemistry during the synoptic sampling, as evidenced by the similar stream chemistry upstream (site 5) and downstream from the mine (site 6). However, because the waste-rock piles at the mine site are located near the stream, they may have a disproportionate effect on stream-water chemistry during spring snowmelt or summer thundershowers when direct runoff is more likely to enter the stream. Nitrate concentrations were extremely low at all sampling sites (<3.6 meq/L), which is consistent with the minimal amount of land use in the basin.
a Criteria used in selection of sampling sites: BG = bedrock geology, MT = major tributary, LU = land use.

Сноук () — персонаж VII и VIII эпизодов киносаги «Звёздные войны», чувствительный к Силе гуманоид, верховный лидер Первого Ордена, могущественный адепт Тёмной стороны Силы и учитель Кайло Рена. Раса неизвестна. Сноук был одним из множества клонов-марионеток, созданных Палпатином в дальних уголках Галактики на планете Экзегол. На протяжении эпизодов VII и VIII Сноук был Верховным лидером Первого ордена, в этом качестве проявлял себя дальновидным и стратегически мыслящим правителем. Как учитель Тёмной стороны Сноук показал себя глубоко знающим её адептом и мудрым наставником. Своего ученика Кайло Рена он высоко ценил и называл «мудрым и сильным», в то время как его родители, Хан Соло и Лея Органа, считали, что Сноук манипулировал и использовал его в своих корыстных целях. Сноук проявлял огромный интерес к Кайло Рену из-за того, что тот был очень чувствительным к Силе, причём как к светлой стороне, так и к тёмной.

Сноук обладал огромным могуществом Тёмной Стороны Силы, так как напрямую был связан с Дартом Сидиусом.
Сноук был очень хорошо осведомлён о взаимоотношениях Дарта Вейдера и Люка Скайуокера, и о том, что Кайло Рен, являясь внуком Дарта Вейдера, унаследовал значительную долю потенциала легендарного повелителя ситхов. Сноук воспользовался этим, сыграв на чувствах юного Бена Соло и совратив его на тёмную сторону Силы. Сноук уничтожил воссозданный Люком Скайуокером Орден джедаев именно руками Кайло Рена, в то время ещё известного под именем Бена Соло и тем окончательно переманил юношу на Тёмную Сторону.

Сноук был высокого роста, очень худым, с длинными тонкими конечностями, производит впечатление измождённости. У Сноука удлинённое бледное лицо со шрамами, а также бледно-голубые глаза. Он имел огромный шрам на лбу и очень сильный ожог левой щёки, из-за чего его рот и нижняя челюсть были изуродованы. Также неясно происхождение этих увечий. Сноук носил халат-накидку, не похожую на балахоны джедаев или ситхов. Говорил неторопливо, произнося слова вполголоса, передвигался неспешно, возможно, из-за физической слабости тела.

Сноук был спокойным и не показывал ни ярости, ни разочарования, его вспышки гнева в очных разговорах с Кайло Реном скорее продуманная невербальная манипуляция последним, нежели проявление истинных эмоций. Во время уничтожения базы «Старкиллер» Сноук хладнокровно объяснил Хаксу его следующие действия. Кайло Рен же склонен к неконтролируемым вспышкам гнева и припадкам ярости, когда сталкивается со сложностями или неудачами.

В VIII эпизоде Сноук был убит Кайло Реном, сумевшим затуманить его разум, на собственном флагмане при попытке заставить последнего убить Рей. Роль Сноука в фильме воплотил Энди Серкис (методом захвата движения).

Появления

«Пробуждение силы» (2015)
В фильме Сноук представлен как Верховный лидер Первого ордена и учитель Кайло Рена. Сноук чувствует «пробуждение» в Силе и предупреждает Рена, что пределы его могущества и верности Тёмной стороне будут проверены, когда он встретится с отцом в погоне за своенравным BB-8.
Лея показывает своему отчуждённому мужу Хану, что это влияние Сноука, которое испортило их сына. После того, как Кайло Рен был неожиданно побеждён в дуэли с Рей, Сноук приказывает генералу Хаксу забрать Рена и приготовить его к завершению обучения.

«Последние джедаи» (2017)
После событий в «Пробуждении силы» Сноук выговаривает Хакса за неудачи как военачальника, а Кайло Рену устраивает намного более жестокий разнос за то, что тот не смог найти и убить Рей, ставя Рену в вину и то, что Рен так и не смог выяснить местонахождение Люка и Люк до сих пор жив, а сопротивление морально окрепло. Кайло Рен приводит Рей к Сноуку, который допрашивает её, пытаясь получить информацию о местонахождении Люка. Сноук рассказывает Кайло Рену и Рей, что создал связь между ними, чтобы манипулировать ими и заставить Рей прийти к себе. Сноук приказывает Рену убить Рей и наслаждается полным контролем над своим учеником. Рен, вопреки его словам, использует Силу и, активируя световой меч Рей на расстоянии, разрезает Сноука пополам. После того как он и Рей победили Преторианскую гвардию, Рен объявляет себя новым Верховным лидером Первого ордена.

Другие работы
Сноук появляется в романе «The Awakens the Force» Алана Дина Фостера, выпущенный 27 ноября 2017 года.
В романе Лея рассказывает Хану более подробно, как Сноук, понимая, что их сын будет «связан с Силой» и обладать «чувственностью к добру или злу», долго наблюдал за Беном и манипулировал событиями, чтобы привлечь его к Тёмной стороне.

Неиграбельная версия Lego minifigure Сноука появляется в роликах в видеоигре 2016 года «Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens».

Навыки и способности

Сноук является чрезвычайно могущественным адептом Силы (существует мнение, что в Силе он мощнее Сидиуса, а его природный потенциал мог быть выше, чем был у Энакина Скайуокера). Верховный Лидер имеет исключительные познания о природе Силы, как о Тёмной стороне, так и о Светлой, однако, безусловно, является адептом Тёмной стороны. Глубина его познаний поражает воображение. Сноук владеет такими техниками, какие не встречались прежде ни у самых могущественных Джедаев, ни у Ситхов. Например, это умение остановить выстрел бластера в воздухе (этот навык демонстрирует Кайло Рен, однако получить он его мог только от Сноука), внедряться в разум другого существа до степени свободного чтения его мыслей (даже Йода и Сидиус не могли похвастать такими способностями). Помимо этого, Сноук искусен в телекинезе, умеет вызывать Молнию Силы, причём его контроль над ней таков, что он может с её помощью наносить лёгкие физические удары оппоненту, не причиняя при этом травм (что опять же, нехарактерно для классических ситхов — их контроль над Молнией был далеко не такой совершенный, и Молния в исполнении ситха «работала» только в полную силу, калеча и убивая противника). Такие нехарактерные для джедаев и ситхов познания и приёмы позволяют сделать предположение, что Сноук изначально не принадлежал ни к тем, ни к другим, а является представителем некой третьей фракции в Силе. Умение Сноука затуманивать разум и делать так, чтобы жертва принимала мысли и видения, внушённые Сноуком, за свои собственные, также достигло выдающихся степеней. Открытым остаётся вопрос об обладании Сноуком личным световым мечом, и соответственно, о его умении владеть им.

Огромная мощь Сноука в Силе хорошо объясняет его неподдельный интерес к Кайло Рену, ибо Сноуку нужен был ученик с большим потенциалом.

Сложно судить, насколько схожи идеология и жизненная философия Сноука с учением Ситхов. Непонятно, какое место в его духовной организации занимает «классическая триада Ситхов» — страх, гнев, ненависть. Есть отдельное мнение, что философия Сноука не чисто «тёмная», а, скорее, «серая»: он идёт путём тёмной стороны, при этом не брезгуя знаниями и приёмами светлой (однако, при этом в Кайло Рене он безжалостно вытравлял любую тягу к свету). Властолюбие и тоталитарный характер его управления Первым Орденом, учениками и подчинёнными вполне в духе Ситхских Владык.

Несмотря на свою мощь в Силе и огромные военно-административные ресурсы Первого Ордена, Сноук, тем не менее, явно опасается Люка Скайуокера.

Сноук был достаточно могущественным, чтобы создавать узы Силы между живыми существами, как он сделал в случае Рей и Кайло Рена, несмотря на колоссальное расстояние между ними. Узы, завязавшиеся между обладавшими исключительным восприятием Силы Реном и Рей, дополнительно подкреплённые Сноуком, привели к созданию частичной проекции между ними.

Сноук не имеет постоянной базы, предпочитая обращаться со своими подчинёнными из мобильных баз. Он склонил Кайло Рена к отказу от пути джедая, чтобы стать его учителем. Существует множество теорий касательно истинной личности Сноука, но ни одна из них не была подтверждена официально.

Q: lookup value in a non-standard table I am trying to use VLOOKUP-like functionality on a table that I have which unfortunately doesn't have the layout that is standard for VLOOKUP function.
Layout is as below:
                 Dealership 1    |        Dealership 2    |      Dealership 3

Make    | Discount 1 | Website 1 | Discount 2 | Website 2 | Discount 3 | Website 3
Hyundai | 20%        |     www1  |     30%    |    www3   |     10%    |   www4
BMW     | 10%        |     www1  |     15%    |    www3   |     3%     |   www4
Honda   | 20%        |     www1  |     50%    |    www3   |     70%    |   www4

So Normally would I would do is VLOOKUP the whole array for rows that match the make I am looking for and output the discount I am looking for. However, I want to specify which Dealership I am getting the discount from as well.

A: You would use the MATCH as your third Criterion:
=VLOOKUP(I2,$A:$G,MATCH(J2,$1:$1,0),FALSE)

The MATCH() returns the column in which the Dealership is found.  And uses that in the VLOOKUP to denote in which column the discount is found.

A: You can use the INDEX and MATCH combination to get a value in a 2D range

The formula I used here was
=INDEX($B$2:$G$4,MATCH($B$7,$A$2:$A$4,0),MATCH("Discount "&$B$8,$B$1:$G$1,0))
