Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller Review
Nacon are on a bit of a mission, both in terms of filling the Xbox library with a host of games, alongside stocking physical store shelves with accessories aplenty. Hot on the heels of delivering their unique, but slightly-too-small-for-comfort, Pro Compact Controller to the masses, comes Nacon's big gun – the Revolution X Pro Controller, Designed for Xbox.
That 'Designed for Xbox' tag and logo is a pretty big deal in gaming circles, if not for the everyday user, but for those more casual players; those who want a new controller but need confirmation that it'll work nicely with Xbox consoles. It goes without saying that the Revolution X Pro Controller does just that and no matter whether you're looking to just hop in to your favourite games with ease, or want to own the opposition in the pro scene, there's certainly enough about the Revolution X to warrant consideration.
Yeah yeah, we know that the Xbox Elite Controller is possibly still thought of as the prime accessory for anyone really serious about gaming, but there are some, many in fact – me being one of them – who just don't get on with the heft and weight that the Elite brings. And that's where the Revolution X comes into its own.
Priced very competitively (you're looking at just shy of £100 for this highly customisable product), the Revolution X Pro Controller is a fully wired option. Now, I'm getting that in here and out of the way as soon as I can because for many that's going to be a deal breaker. In fact – personal case in point – I love the freedom that a standard wireless Xbox controller brings. I don't game at a desk all day, I have consoles scattered around the land and want something that can just connect and be done with, without the worry of needing to be within a certain distance of the console.
Thankfully Nacon seem to understand this and whilst not able to provide a wireless controller, have ensured it comes with a 3 meter long cable (USB-A to USB-C) which totally powers the Revolution X. It's detachable too for ease of carry and when you include the fact that this controller comes with its own little carry case, with space for the controller, the cable and some other bits and bobs, there's pretty much nothing stopping you from getting your game on.
If you can handle a cable, you're probably going to like what Nacon have done with the rest of the Revolution X Pro Controller – Designed for Xbox. All black in design and style, this is a third party option that is pretty close to the standard official controller that comes out of Microsoft HQ. It's not exactly the same in proportions, but it's close enough for you to not need worry about feel, comfort and button placement. In fact, the buttons here on this thing are well laid out with the thumbsticks and D-Pad, bumpers and triggers all very familiar.
The face buttons though are slightly different; a little enlarged over standard. This can only be seen as a positive and throughout time with the Rev X not a single button has been mis-hit. That is except for the Xbox Nexus button. Lower down into the chassis of the Revolution X, muscle memory instantly sees you reaching up for the all-encompassing Xbox button, with you needing to retrain your brain in order to find it more central.
That's no biggy really though, it's not like you're reaching for the Nexus in the heat of battle and so Nacon can easily be let off the hook on this.
And they can be let off the hook because the rest of the Revolution X is brilliant. The feel of the bumpers and triggers (whilst unfortunately not textured) is great, with a nice flow from the former into the latter. But then include the four rear mounted buttons too and you're getting into Elite controller territory.
Yep, Nacon have seen fit to work with a host of pro gamers and esports specialists to ensure button placement and ease of use is at the very forefront of what the Revolution X delivers. Honestly – coming from someone who likes familiarity and rarely needs to customise things – the placement of these buttons is superb. Two (the S1 and S3) sit on the back side, right where your third finger lays, whilst the other two (S2 and S4) kick in along with your fourth finger. This means all four buttons are immediately at hand, with little to no shifting of your hand placement in order to hit them. From using a good few varieties of controllers that utilise back buttons, I'd say the placement and integration on the Revolution X is up there with the very best. Perhaps it is THE very best.
Around the back are also a couple of other buttons and sliders. These feed into the different profiles that the Rev X allows, with you able to drop in four advanced gamer profiles should you see fit. These work with the free-to-download Revolution X App from the Xbox Store, with this allowing the chance to amend all manner of things. Expect to delve into the App and be greeted by a ton of adjustable sliders, button maps, trigger settings and more. The customisation that Nacon are allowing here is nothing short of immense and so if you feel the need to remap the response curves of either stick, the gates for the D-Pad, the amount of travel for your triggers or even switch off the additional vibration motors that are found in this controller, you can do. Why you would want to do the latter when they feel so good is beyond me, but there we go.
There is even the chance to mess around with some rather cool lighting that is situated around the right stick, with amendments to overall colours, and whether you want those lights to pulse or cycle in order to enhance the immersion.
With stock Nacon profiles in place for those wishing to feel the benefits without nerding out into the finer details, the Revolution X App is a well crafted piece of software which complements an equally well crafted piece of hardware. The two really do go hand-in-hand and should ensure that you get to play your games, your way.
There's more though. As is now seemingly standard for a Nacon controller, Dolby Atmos support is built-in and this means that no matter what headset you have attached via the 3.5mm jack, you'll be treated to the joys of Dolby whilst you game. There are also additional Audio settings available in the App, with equaliser settings ready and waiting for the finest sports, FPS, fighting, MOBA and chat players.
So, it's safe to say that Nacon have nailed things with the Revolution X. However there's one further thing that is available that we haven't yet covered – the chance to physically amend the controller with weights and thumbstick additions.
Now, anyone familiar with these pages will know of my love for the thumbstick add-ons that the likes of KontrolFreek create; simple products that stick on to your controller and increase the feel and vibrancy of your thumbsticks. Nacon are nearly doing the same thing here by providing a small collection of highly engineered, carefully machined metal attachments.
There are new rings which go around the stick of your thumbstick to decrease the travel length, ensuring finer precision or sharper movement, whilst the rubber topped sticks themselves can be swapped out from the standard concave versions to some convexed options. Personally, I've found life as a concave gamer suits me just right, but know for a fact that others totally disagree, preferring a domed top to their sticks. You're sorted if that's the case.
It must be said that it is here where I've found the only real downside to the Revolution X (aside from the cable inclusion) and that is the fact the thumbstick tops don't always feel secure. Initial removal of these is tricky, but once off, they are equally as hard to replace, and a good few times I've found the stick itself to come loose. Granted, once you have a setup to your liking (and remember we've been messing around taking these on and off in various forms for review), that situation should not occur, but it's something to watch for.
The biggest inclusion though are three sets of weights. Coming in at 10 grams, 14 grams and 16 grams, these slide neatly into the cavity arms of the Revolution X (obtainable via a sliding cover just like a normal battery cover), letting you increase the weight of your controller to your own needs. As standard the Revolution X comes in at 231 grams (for comparison, a standard official wireless Xbox controller with battery pack weighs in at 270 grams), so there's plenty to play with in terms of the additional weights. Again, on a personal level I've found the lightweight nature of the Revolution X to be grand, but have played around sticking the various weights into the arms (sometimes going utterly crazy and unbalancing it with different weights on each side!), to find this is a neat little option to have.
All this comes together to ensure that Nacon has created something for those Xbox gamers looking for some customization in their lives. The controller itself feels great in the hand, the button placements are awesome and the App integration is nothing short of highly detailed. It's a shame that anyone using it will be tied down to a 3 metre distance from their console, but taking the brilliant price point into account and the amount of personalisation this allows, we can let that slide.
Huge thanks go out to Nacon for providing us with the Revolution X Pro Controller Designed for Xbox for unboxing and review. If you wish to pick one up for yourself either as you game on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S, head over to Nacon direct.
Edit: You'll also find the Revolution X at Argos.

Central venous catheters are considered the primary source of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. The other sources of bloodstream infections are catheter-associated urinary tract infections and ventilator-associated Pneumonia.
Hospital-acquired infections are caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens; the most common types are bloodstream infection (BSI), pneumonia (eg, ventilator-associated pneumonia [VAP]), urinary tract infection (UTI), and surgical site infection (SSI).
Symptoms of HAIs will vary by type. The most common types of HAIs are: urinary tract infections (UTIs) surgical site infections….The symptoms for these infections may include:discharge from a wound.fever.cough, shortness of breathing.burning with urination or difficulty urinating.headache.nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
This is probably the most common mode of transmission in health-care settings. Droplet transmission: Respiratory droplets carrying pathogens are generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, as well as during procedures such as suctioning or intubation.
Major Types of HAIsCatheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI)Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI)Surgical site infection (SSI)Ventilator-associated events (VAE)
According to the CDC, the most common pathogens that cause nosocomial infections are Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli. Some of the common nosocomial infections are urinary tract infections, respiratory pneumonia, surgical site wound infections, bacteremia, gastrointestinal and skin infections.
Most Common Healthcare-Associated Infections: 25 Bacteria, Viruses Causing HAIsAcinetobacter baumannii. Bacteroides fragilis. Burkholderia cepacia. Clostridium difficile. Clostridium sordellii. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Enterococcus faecalis. Escherichia coli.
The organisms causing most nosocomial infections usually come from the patient's normal flora of the skin and mucous membranes (endogenous flora), when host factors that alter susceptibility to infection permit these organisms to behave as pathogens (6).
Urinary Tract infections-most common 40%Surgical site infections-second-20%Lower respiratory infections-nosocomial pneumonias 15%
The most important way to reduce the spread of infections is hand washing – always wash regularly with soap and water. Also important is to get a vaccine for those infections and viruses that have one, when available. See the OSH Answers Hand Washing – Reducing the Risk of Common Infections for more details.
5 Crucial Foods for Fighting InfectionPoultry. Chicken, quail, turkey and other birds are great resources of two components central to wound healing. Yogurt. When buying yogurt, always purchase brands that have "live and active cultures" printed on the label. Cauliflower. Kale. Garlic.
Simply put, yes. Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. You can spread certain "germs" (a general term for microbes like viruses and bacteria) casually by touching another person.
Preventing the Spread of Infectious DiseasesWash your hands often. Get vaccinated. Use antibiotics sensibly. Stay at home if you have signs and symptoms of an infection. Be smart about food preparation. Disinfect the 'hot zones' in your residence. Practice safer sex. Don't share personal items.
Contagious diseases (such as the flu, colds, or strep throat) spread from person to person in several ways. One way is through direct physical contact, like touching or kissing a person who has the infection. Another way is when an infectious microbe travels through the air after someone nearby sneezes or coughs.
General Disease Prevention and Control MeasuresPrevention of Environmental contamination.Control of Intermediate host, vectors and reservoirs.Control of internal parasites.Control of arthropod pests.Control and reducing the infection as soon as an outbreak occurs.Isolation of sick animals.Vaccination of farm animals.Deworming of animals.
You can prevent infections through simple tactics, such as washing your hands regularly, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, cleaning surfaces that are touched often, avoiding contaminated food and water, getting vaccinations, and taking appropriate medications. Hand-washing.

Many have privately shared some of the article's same concerns about Trump with colleagues, friends and reporters. Those distancing themselves from the column have included the vice-president, Mike Pence, and the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, along with much of Trump's cabinet.
Trump seethed about the piece and framed it as a jab from critics in denial about his successes, while Washington was consumed with speculation about who wrote the opinion piece. People with no names are writing our nation's history.
"We have a good understanding", Ryan said about his agreement with Trump to avert a government shutdown.
Trump is no stranger to bad press at this point - you may have even heard him complain about it from time to time - but he's really got his hands full this week, as the op-ed declaring an active "resistance" within his ranks came just days after very unflattering excerpts were released from Pulitzer Prize victor Bob Woodward's upcoming book "Fear: Trump in the White House", spurring President Trump to call for stricter libel laws on Wednesday.
And let's give the last word to Margaret Sullivan, the former public editor of The New York Times.
Less than nine weeks before a crucial mid-term Congressional election, United States President Donald Trump's feud with critical mainstream media has deepened. The November vote will be widely seen as a referendum on Trump.
The Times said in a note appended to the op-ed that it knew the author's identity but that "publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers".
"And this person instead, according to the New York Times, chose not only to stay but to undermine what President Trump and this administration are trying to do". Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's spokesman Tony Sayegh said on Twitter it was "laughable to think this could come from the secretary".
"Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back".
"Many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations", the article says. The writer questions the president's morality and fitness to serve. Democrats continue to call for an adjournment over the handling of documents from Kavanaugh's tenure in the George W. Bush White House. "Stop", she wrote on Twitter.
"We're doing this in order to prevent World War III", Defense Secretary Jim Mattis reportedly replied thinly.

How to Define Spectrums of Biomarker Outcomes
| Story sourced from Vanderbilt University
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "How to Define Spectrums of Biomarker Outcomes"
What do medical biomarkers do on evenings and weekends, when they might be considered off the clock?
The hidden lives of medical biomarkers are the focus of a recent study in Nature Communications by Jonathan Mosley, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine and Biomedical Informatics, and colleagues from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and 11 other institutions.
Any reliable measure of a physiological state might qualify as a biomarker. Some of the biomarkers used in disease risk assessment and diagnosis are themselves mediators of disease, LDL-cholesterol and blood pressure being two well-known examples.
The study introduces a method to define biomarker-outcomes spectrums. The authors write that, "Defining the complete spectrum of disease outcomes associated with a biomarker not only provides insights into disease mechanisms, but may also reveal potential beneficial and adverse effects of modulating biomarker levels."
Employing genome-wide trait analysis, the team scans for correlations between 53 commonly used medical biomarkers, as measured in an epidemiological study cohort, and 1,139 well recognized disease outcomes, as reflected in de-identified electronic medical records of a separate genotyped research cohort. In all, the demo involves 44,893 genotyped research subjects.
"If you were to try tackling this question with conventional epidemiological methods, you'd break the bank," Mosley said.
"Repurposing available genetic data is not only comparatively affordable, it also provides results immediately. With our method, we're circumventing the decades-long wait for nature to take its course and produce measurable outcomes."
If you measure a group of strangers for both similarity of traits and chance genetic similarity, you can estimate the cumulative genetic influence of genes on each of the measured traits. For each trait, you can also measure correlation with each of the genetic variants you've tested, and calculate a cumulative genetic score for the trait.
"You can use this score to predict the trait in any individual who's undergone genotyping for common genetic variants," Mosley said.
To derive genetic scores for 53 atherosclerosis biomarkers, the team used data from 7,740 genotyped individuals in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.
Using those scores, they predicted values for the 53 biomarkers in 37,153 genotyped patients seen at VUMC and other centers in the eMERGE Network (Electronic Medical Records and Genomics Network). In this latter group, the team measured associations between the predicted biomarker values and 1,139 diagnoses.
"Along with replicating many known biomarker-outcome associations, we turned up a number of undescribed associations. However, some seemingly obvious associations were the most surprising to me. For instance, a biomarker predicting smoking was associated with diagnoses of tobacco use, alcohol use and obesity, indicating that these behaviors have common genetic drivers and that some individuals have a strong genetic predisposition toward them.
"I didn't expect that genetics would predict behaviors. This observation has made me a more compassionate physician when approaching patients struggling with these issues," Mosley said.
The team also found an inverse association between high LDL-cholesterol and septicemia, an association they replicated (without recourse to genotype data) in a separate cohort.
Mosley's work is supported in part by the American Heart Association. This study was supported by several grants from the National Institutes of Health, among them HG008672 and LM010685.

Aeristech was delighted when it was presented with the "British Engineering Excellence Award" for "New Product of the Year 2018"at a ceremony on 4th October.
"Winning is not just an ego trip. Independent recognition of our achievement provides confirmation for our investors and customers that we really are are onto something".
Of course better confirmation came a month ago when Aeristech signed its first £1million contract for these compressors.
NOTE; 25% of a fuel cells output is used to pressurise the air supply. Aeristech's compressor is cheaper, smaller, lighter and significantly more efficient than any current fuel cell compressor.
Aeristech is on the Fast Track!


... in addition to welcoming our own new little baby at some point!!
Hummm... I wonder just how many of these "plans" I'll be able to pull off! I tried to keep them fairly simple, without adding too many new activities, but I guess we will see!! Yesterday we pulled out all of our Advent Decorations, and (hubby and the boys) moved around the furniture in the living room to make room for our Christmas tree later in December. It's all so exciting! I just love Advent, don't you!?!
Advent Wreath and Prayers - This Sunday, the first Sunday of Advent, we will begin lighting our wreath every evening for dinner and family prayers, including St. Andrew's Christmas Novena. On Christmas we will replace the four Advent Candles with our white Christ Candle (which we will make on the feast of St. Ambrose, to cover on the feast of the Immaculate Conception the next day). I've posted the Advent Wreath prayers we use here.
Candles in the Window - All during Advent through Christmas Eve.
"The candle in the window, still a favorite traditional Irish Christmas decoration, it harkens back to that ancient Christmas Eve, when Mary and Joseph could find no shelter. It is a symbol of Irish hospitality, their way of welcoming Mary and Joseph...and any travelers who might happen to pass by looking for a warm place to stay.
Advent Calendars - This is our favorite. I also purchased one Catholic Child had on clearance to add to our collection this year.
The Jesse Tree - In the past I have compiled posts with the readings and coloring pages for each day of Advent. This year, I happily signed my children up for Holy Heroes Advent Adventure! It should be fun!! I am also planning to incorporate a Jesse "Tea" at some point, thanks to Alice's creativity!
A Nativity Set - Each Sunday, during Advent, we add a few figures to the set leading up to the addition of Baby Jesus on Christmas. The Wise men follow on the feast of Epiphany, as they slowly make their way across the room!
Baskets of Books - I just finished filling up a couple baskets with all of our Christmas Books! We will read one or two each day during the Advent and Christmas Season. In addition to the new books for the feast of St. Nicholas this year, I also purchased an Advent Storybook and Destination: Bethlehem to read each night at bedtime. Elizabeth also mailed me the most precious book ever!! It is all about a family Waiting for Noel , their new baby which ends up being born on Christmas! It is such a perfect addition to our Advent reading this year!!!!
In addition to beginning all our Advent Traditions, I'm thinking we will be stirring up some yummy treat to save for Christmas, though probably not Plum Pudding... Perhaps the Chocolate Coconut Balls we made last year!
In the morning, we will pray the Litany of St. Francis Xavier and then read page 20 of More Saints Lives and Illuminations. In the afternoon, I will let the kids watch Francis Xavier and the Samurai's Lost Treasure by CCC. I don't know if we will get to it or not, but we may try to make some St. Francis Xavier Ornaments as well.
Last year, for dinner, I made Xaver Suppe, but this year hubby has requested Albondigas (Spanish Meatballs), Spanish Rice, and Flan. I've never made Albondigas before, so it should be interesting! Also, since St. Francis Xavier is most often pictured holding a cross, I think I will either make the flan in a cross shape, or add a whip cream cross to the top.
Since St. Ambrose is the Patron Saint of Candlemakers, we usually decorate our Christ Candle on his feast day. In the past we've just decorated a tall white candle with decorating wax or candle pens. This year, inspired by Jen, I am hoping to carve a little niche out of the base for a wax baby jesus figure.
For an afternoon snack I plan on serving tea with Honey Stix and a tray of Baklava I just picked up at Costco. We will also read the story of St. Ambrose on pages 5-11 Once upon a Time Saints .
For dinner I plan to serve Honey-Curry Chicken, one of our favorites!
Today after Mass, we will come home for a yummy breakfast of Blueberry Muffins and White Hot Cocoa. We will drape a Blue Cloth, or tie a blue ribbon, around the Christ Candle we decorated the day before, in honor of the Blessed Mother. On Christmas Eve the cloth comes off and reveals Christ. This candle then takes the place of the Advent Candles for the Christmas Season.
We will also read about The Immaculate Conception .
This year I thought it would be fun to bake and decorate a Gingerbread Nativity Scene using a Nativity Cookie Cutter Set.
We will read page 19 of More Saints Lives and Illuminations and Our Lady of Guadalupe by Father Lovasik. (I still can't believe you can purchase a 10 pack of these books for only $1.50!!!) Then we will listen to Fresh Flowers in Winter: The story of Saint Juan Diego by Glory Stories while the children make St. Juan Diego Paper Dolls, and perhaps tilmas!
Since I have other plans for the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we will have our Mexican Fiesta for dinner on this feast day!
We usually pray the Litany of Loreto as a family and I pint out an online crossword of the Marian Titles from the Litany of Loreto. I've always loved Alice's idea to decorate a House of Loreto (using the Wilton Stand Up House Pan ) for this feast, but I don't think this is the year to start... We'll see!
You can pray a novena to St. Therese at anytime, and there are a number to choose from, but one of my favorites is the Christmas Rose Novena which is prayed beginning on the 12th (12 days before Christmas), for 12 days, 12 times per day, to honor the 12 years of Christ's childhood.
I am hoping to be able to have another of Alice's lovely Liturgical Teas in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. They are just so much fun! And, of course, we will also read The Lady of Guadalupe by Tomie dePaola.
The girls have already started making their St. Lucy Crowns for this year. If possible I am hoping to bake another Saint Lucia Bread, but it that doesn't work out, I may resort to round donuts with candles instead. We'll see how the month goes!
The girls are loving their St. Lucy paper dolls from "L" week, and I saved Charlottes St. Lucia and Star Boy Coloring Page for this feast.
We always read Hanna's Christmas (I was so excited to find a copy for our own collection this year!), and I also ordered Lucia, Saint of Light , which I am hoping arrives by December 13th!
O Antiphons, December 17th through 23rd - You can see my old O Antiphon posts here, though I am almost done with a post with this years plans. I also have "plans" to finish our O Antiphon House... lol! I think I will wrap up this post right now, and just finish it... I only have a few hours left to get it done before Advent begins!
Wonderful plans. Last year I used a combination of your list of readings for the Jesse Tree and another site, but with my new Jesse Tree set of ornaments, neither worked out perfectly. So I had to put together my own list to coordinate with Advent this year which was pretty time consuming. I used many of your coloring pages links though, so thank you. I wish I could do the Christmas window lights but between the cats and a little toddler, I don't think it would be very successful. Have a great Advent.
How much fun and inspiring joy for your little ones,and for Mommy to!
I am so happy to learn about The Christmas Rose Novena ,that i did not knew about.
I t will be perfect to start before our St.Lucia celebration ,witch is as you probably know,very big here in Scandinavia.
Let me know if you would like the recipe for the traditional Lucia buns ,or any thing else from this beautiful Saint celebration.
So it was your blog where I found the recipe for the chocolate coconut candy! I made them and they were so delicious! I am definitely making them again this year. I love seeing all your Advent plans!
I wrote up an Advent plans post on my blog too... doesn't it just make you feel so much more organized to have it all laid out, complete with links? Plus it will be helpful to look back at next year when planning for Advent again!
Honey-curry chicken sounds very yummy!! If you have a chance to share the recipe, I would love it!
wow!! You guys are really on the ball with all the feasts. Good inspirations for me again!!
We do St. Nicholaus, Immacualte conception, Our Lady of Guadalupe (of course) and Christmas...and I thought I was busy!
Sorry it took me so long to get this to you, but I hope you enjoy the recipe.
Grease and flour 9 in. bundt pan.
Beat 1 c. unsalted butter and 1 c. sugar together until fluffy.
Beat in 6 eggs 1 at a time.
Add 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp. grated lemon peel, and 5 drops red food coloring (optional).
Sift together 2 c. all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp. baking powder.
Bake at 325 for 50-55 minutes.
Here is another recipe from the same old magazine. I thought you would like it for your Little Flowers.
* Violets, lavendar, roses, orange peel, honeysuckle, or other edible flowers can be used.
Pulse sugar and flowers in blender or food processor. Store in airtight jar for at least a week. Strain through wire mesh before using if desired.
Sprinkle on cookies, cakes, or strawberries.
Robina ~ I don't know about pets, but my toddlers have never bothered with the candles in the window. They are electric too, and just plug in, so they are not much different than a lamp. I'm glad you were able to find coloring pages! It is very time consuming isn't it!! The first year I did that, their weren't that many and I searched for hours (days?!) lol!
This year I gave my boys each a coloring book (which I ordered a little too late to use with Ancient History Last year) called Let's Journey Through the Bible since they were all still asking to color the coordinating pages. I'll just print ones out for the girls. I hope you have a wonderful Advent!!
Lenetta ~ Thank you for the link!
Emma ~ I've been meaning to email you and thank you for the kind emails! I will soon! As for the recipes, if you happen to have a favorite (and any pictures?!) I'd love to post it at Catholic Cuisine!
Erin ~ It does! I have some posts fairly similar to this one in my archives, but it was nice to combine the info and update with this years changes to finish organizing my thoughts =) As for the Honey-Curry Chicken, I will be posting it at Catholic Cuisine soon! It is really easy and very yummy!
Josette ~ December is such a fun month for feast day celebrations around here. A few years back we started modifying our school schedule to make more time in December for all the wonderful feasts! I am hoping that this will be our last week of full time school until next year.
Natalie ~ Thank you so much for the recipes! I look forward to trying them.
Though we're on a diet, I think we're going to have to make those chocolate coconut balls again, they are my favorite!! I'm so glad you and your family love them too!

Q: Angular2: Unit-test router with cached template I'm dealing with some problems doing test on different environments:

*

*SRC: unminified components, using both .js and .html/.css template files

*DIST: minified components (only .js, no templates)

I made two different karma-conf and karma-test-shim, one for SRC and one for DIST.
In the SRC's one, since i mostly execute tests on components in fakeAsync contexts, i'm caching all my templates and .css at karma's startup, as shown in the following karma-test-shim, to avoid XHR errors.
karma-test-shim.src.js
// Turn on full stack traces in errors to help debugging
Error.stackTraceLimit = Infinity;

jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;

window.$templateCache = {}; // deckaring Window template cache for caching .html template and .css

// Cancel Karma's synchronous start,
// we will call `__karma__.start()` later, once all the specs are loaded.
__karma__.loaded = function () { };

On SRC i get this error:

If i manually provide the RESOURCE_CACHED_PROVIDER to the spec it works:
TestBed.configureCompiler({
      providers: [RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER]
});

but it fails on DIST due to the fact that there's no cached template to load for loginPage.

A: See: Angular2 tests and RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER global
We have found a solution but not based on Angular provider.
We developed a simple karma preprocessor just for test as:
  preprocessors: {
            "**/*.component.js": ["generic"]
        },

Then preprocessor just uses gulp-inline-ng2-template parser
genericPreprocessor: {
            rules: [{
                process: function (content, file, done, log) {
                    // Prepare content for parser
                    file.contents = new Buffer(content);
                    // Every file has a parser
                    var parse = require('gulp-inline-ng2-template/parser')(file, { base: "packages/", useRelativePaths: false });
                    // Call real parse function
                    parse(function (err, contents) {
                        // Callback with content with template and style inline
                        done(contents);
                    });
                }
            }]
        },

Q: regular expression in ruby and rails Is regular expression syntax symbol  are same in every language or any change. I am learning ruby and rails and I am reading this book http://www.railstutorial.org/book/
In this book writer use regular expression and i want to know is it different in ruby or rails or same like other languages ?
Please help me

A: Ruby's regular expressions function in much the same way as Perl. Some special notes:

In Ruby, the caret and dollar always match before and after newlines. Ruby does not have a modifier to change this. Use \A and \Z to match at the start or the end of the string.

Much like JavaScript, you can create a Regexp object with literal notation:
myRegExp = /test/i

Ruby's implementation mostly differs in the methods and operators available on Regexp objects.
More information about Ruby's implementation of regular expressions is available here.

A: The fundamentals are the same but there can be discrepancies between languages. Here's a good site for ruby regex http://rubular.com/

A: It really depends on the regular expression engines adopted by a programming language. They all should comply with the POSIX standards or some other specific extensions. So basically, they are pretty much of the same.
Ruby(1.9) supports GNU regex, POSIX and Oniguruma native. For details difference between lanagues, search Comparison_of_regular_expression_engines#Language_features on wikipedia.

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles successfully prepared from a nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate precursor are used to form a chitosan capped NiO nanoparticle thin film to serve as a saturable absorber (SA) for the generation of passively Q-switched pulses in an erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL). The NiO/chitosan SA based EDFL is able to generate stable pulsed outputs at a low threshold pump power of 104.90 mW with a central wavelength at 1562 nm. The highest pulse energy obtainable by the system is 15.30 nJ at a repetition rate of 42.66 kHz and a pulse duration of 2.02 μs. The laser has a spectral range of 58 nm from 1522 to 1580 nm, covering the C and L bands and even portions of the S band. This study experimentally demonstrates that the potential of the NiO/chitosan film as an SA material for Q-switching operations, combined with the biocompatibility, non-toxicity and high thermal resistance of Chitosan, holds great prospects for a broad range of applications.

Homepage Military AviationIOC five months ahead of schedule for RAAF P-8A Poseidon aircraft
RAAF has taken delivery of six P-8A Poseidon aircraft from an overall order book of 12
According Flight Global, Royal Australian Air Force's Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft have achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC).
Noteworthy the IOC for the 737-based maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft came five months ahead of schedule, says defence minister Marise Payne.
The service has taken delivery of six P-8As from an overall order book of 12. The Poseidon is flown by the No. 11 sqn. based out of RAAF Edinburgh.
"The arrival of the P-8A has allowed Air Force, under Plan Jericho, to develop and evolve new operating concepts, support arrangements and sustainment options," RAAF air marshal Leo Davies pointed out.
"These will best exploit the P-8A's sensors and networking as part of integrated Navy and Air Force integrated Maritime Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Family of Systems."
Announced in early 2015, Plan Jericho emphasizes the seamless integration of airborne assets, as it continues to induct new platforms.
Canberra is committed to an eventual acquisition of the Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton, and has hinted that it could obtain "up to seven".
The capability offered by the P-8A/Triton combination will replace the RAAF's aged fleet of Lockheed AP-3C Orions.
Currently the RAAF has 11 in-service AP-3Cs, with five examples retired from September 2014 to December 2017.
The P-8A Poseidon uses advanced sensors and mission systems, including an advanced multi-role radar, high definition cameras, and an acoustic system with four times the processing capacity of RAAF's current AP-3C Orions.
The first aircraft arrived in Canberra on Nov. 16 2016, with the remaining deliveries to be completed by March 2020.
The P-8A Poseidon is a modified Boeing 737-800ERX, bringing together a highly reliable airframe and high-bypass turbo fan jet engine with a fully connected, state-of-the-art open architecture mission system. This combination, coupled with next-generation sensors, will dramatically improve anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capabilities.

Tissue Clearing allows the TEFOR Paris-Saclay to image big samples in-toto and high resolution. Using a surfactant-based and non-toxic protocol enables us to run these experiments regularly and in big numbers.
In addition to the tissue clearing, the TEFOR Paris-Saclay developed a protocol for matching the naturally in-homogeneous refractive index of specimens. This facilitates high-resolution deep imaging.
Our confocal and multi-photon microscopes are equipped with Leica's new high refractive index immersion objectives. With 25x/1.00 IMM and a working distance of 6mm these setups allow imaging of thick samples.
High resolution data of big specimens quickly end up rather heavy. We developed a data treatment and management pipeline which allows us and the users of our service to easily access our results.

Creanga de aur (în ) este opera majoră a lui James George Frazer (1854-1941), scriere care constituie un studiu comparativ al mitologiei și religiei.

Prezentare
James George Frazer a publicat Creanga de aur (The Golden Bough) în 1890 în două volume, apoi în 1900 în trei volume, cu titlul The Golden Bough. A study in Comparative Religion. A treia ediție (1911-1915) a constat din 12 volume și a fost intitulată The Golden Bough. A study in Magic and Religion. Opera sa a fost completată prin al 13-lea volum, publicat în 1936 cu titlul Aftermath. Acest ultim volum cuprinde noi informații asupra subiectelor discutate în Creanga de aur, obținute după ce autorul a scris această lucrare

Creanga de aur revelează unor nespecialiști universul straniu al miturilor, riturilor și credințelor.

Întreaga operă este construită pe tradiția instituțională și locală a istoriei romane, pe care Frazer o adoptă drept cadru epic al diverselor capitole ale cărții. Această tradiție se întâlnește în apropierea satului lui Nemi, a lacului său și al dumbravei sacre, zisă și dumbrava din Aricia, suveranitate a unui rege denumit Regele Pădurii. Acest preot-rege a obținut puterea sa prin asasinarea predecesorului său și moare fiind asasinat de succesorul său. Acesta, înainte de a săvârși actul său criminal, trebuie să culeagă de pe un arbore sacru, o creangă pe care Frazer o asimilează cu creanga de aur mitologică, a cărei putere divină îi deschide lui Enea (eroul din Eneida) accesul la Imperiul morților. Virgiliu descrie în Eneida Creanga de aur ce crește pe un stejar din cei cu frunza veșnic verde și o compară cu vâscul. Concluzia lui Frazer: Creanga de Aur nu era altceva decât vâscul, privit prin vălurile poeziei sau ale superstiției populare. Frazer scrie: "Poate că numele [crengii de aur] derivă de la galbenul intens auriu pe care-l capătă creanga de vâsc după ce a fost tăiată și păstrată câteva luni; culoarea strălucitoare nu rămâne doar în frunze, ci cuprinde și tulpina, astfel încât toată ramura pare a fi într-adevăr o Creangă de Aur."

Creanga de aur constituie un amplu parcurs pe care cititorul este invitat să urmeze un itinerar ce îl va conduce de la ritualurile zeiței Diana din mitologia romană până la cele ale popoarelor primitive, de la mitologia anticilor scandinavi la cea a culturilor superioare din America, de la credințele din China antică la cele ale societăților țărănești din Europa.

Frazer caută să explice conceptul magiei printr-o teorie generală. Aceasta a fost modificată de Frazer în timp și o dată cu edițiile cărții. În prima ediție a Crengii de aur, el este de părere că pentru un "sălbatic" (om primitiv) lumea este condusă de Ființe personale, dotate cu inteligență și voință și de forțe impersonale, concepții primitive despre ceea ce se numește astăzi "legile naturii". Începând cu a doua ediție, Frazer nu numai că diferențiază aceste două reprezentări, legând religia cu prima reprezentare și magia cu cea de-a doua, dar  și insistă asupra faptului că magia, condiționată de un nivel mental inferior a precedat pretutindeni religia. Frazer susține că în evoluția mentală a umanității o epocă a magiei a precedat o epocă a religiei și că diferența caracteristică între magie și religie este aceea că în timp ce magia urmărește să controleze natura direct, religia urmărește să o controleze indirect prin mijlocirea ființei sau ființelor supranaturale la care omul se roagă pentru ajutor și protecție. Filozoful Ludwig Wittgenstein în Remarks on Fraser's Golden Bough a fost foarte critic asupra interpretărilor lui Frazer ale mitologiei primitive, creștinismului și epistemologiei.

Frazer a fost considerat de criticii săi ca fiind "antropologul de jilț" pentru că nu a făcut cercetări pe teren, ci a pornit scrierea sa (Creanga de aur) de la jurnale de călătorie, impresii consemnate de misionari sau chestionare completate de persoane. Octavian Nistor, prefațatorul și traducătorul cărții lui Frazer în limba română apreciază lucrarea Creanga de aur astfel: "Frazer a efectuat pe bază de scrieri o «muncă de cabinet», alcătuind o mare sinteză care s-a impus pe plan mondial".

This case is a relatively straightforward exercise in valuing a potential acquisition target. The case affords students an opportunity to use both discounted cash flow and multiples in their analyses. In addition, at the instructor's discretion, students can do a simple valuation of an option contract and analyze currency choice in a debt issue. The latter two objectives arise if the case is used as an examination. Case Exhibit 1 poses the relevant questions for student preparation.

Investure, LLC, and Smith College

Alice Handy, an investment professional with 30 years' experience as head of the University of Virginia Investment Management Company, has opened a new asset management firm targeted at midsize endowments and nonprofit institutions in January 2004. Her business, Investure, LLC, offered outsourced investment services to institutions with $150 million to $1 billion in assets and access to top-performing managers at lower cost than a fund of funds (FoF). Smith College, a prestigious liberal arts college with a nearly $1 billion endowment, is interested in increasing its current allocation to private equity. Handy and her partner are preparing to meet with Smith's trustees in an attempt to win Smith College as Investure's first client. The case presents three different approaches to private equity investing: direct investment through a traditional limited partnership, investment through a FoF, or investment through Investure's outsourced model. The class discussion presents an opportunity to evaluate advantages and shortcomings of each approach, introduce key terminology, and discuss the current trends in the private equity market. Students are given the cash inflows and outflows for a representative investment in a venture capital fund of the type Handy hopes to invest in on behalf of Smith College. The main analytical task requires students to evaluate the expected gross and net returns generated by the representative investment under each of the different approaches and fee structures.
This case was written for an early class in courses on entrepreneurial finance, venture capital, or private equity. It can also be used in specialized courses for fund trustees interested in alternative assets.

Determinants of Corporate Dividend Policy in Jordan: An Application of the Tobit Model

This paper examines the determinants of corporate dividend policy in Jordan. The study uses a firm‐level panel data set of all publicly traded firms on the Amman Stock Exchange between 1989 and 2000. The study develops eight research hypotheses, which are used to represent the main theories of corporate dividends. A general‐to‐specific modeling approach is used to choose between the competing hypotheses. The study examines the determinants of the amount of dividends using Tobit specifications. The results suggest that the proportion of stocks held by insiders and state ownership significantly affect the amount of dividends paid. Size, age, and profitability of the firm seem to be determinant factors of corporate dividend policy in Jordan. The findings provide strong support for the agency costs hypothesis and are broadly consistent with the pecking order hypothesis. The results provide no support for the signaling hypothesis.

What if? Alternative histories and their future implications
Jacques Richardson
The purpose of this paper is to describe and explains the development of the evolving mental phenomenon of alternative history.
The article analyzes the role of the fiction known as the "What if?" school of speculation about the past, some of its conspicuous exemplars, and how its adaptation might affect attitudes and even prejudices about how to view life.
Present and future are not always what one thought they could become. "What if?" also gives rise to endeavours in "science" fiction and structured projections today dealing with circumstances of tomorrow and after.
Besides providing diversion, the approach serves to illustrate foresight's conception of "retrostrategy".

Why SMEs shouldn't neglect e‐learning: Collaboration for tacit knowledge transfer
The purpose of this paper is to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
As technologies, markets and competitive situations change rapidly and unpredictably, the need for business development to match environmental change has become increasingly associated with organizational learning. Organizations must be capable of learning from their experiences and of disseminating learning if they are to respond to emerging conditions. However, SMEs frequently regard training as a somewhat peripheral, limited, and at times easily neglected activity. It is important that these attitudes are changed and that they view the facilitation of learning within their organizations as a key element in organizational change.
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.

American industry is in the midst of a new merger boom. Recent studies, however, show that such mergers do not necessarily enhance profits, boost productivity, aid efficiency, or result in social good. Given these findings, you ought to seriously question whether a proposed merger is a sound strategic decision before acting on it.
