The Thai Baht - from top-performing to worst-hit currency in Asia
Before the pandemic, the Thai Baht (THB) was the strongest-performing currency in Asia. Now, it's the worst-hit currency in the region, according to Japan-based Mizuho Bank. The Thai economy has been shrinking over the past year, hitting lows which some compare to the contraction during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The Japanese bank says the under-performance of the Thai baht is "uncharacteristic" and renders it "the worst performer to date in 2021."
The financial analysis platform Refinitiv Eikon also found the Thai baht to be the weakest-performing currency in the Asia Pacific region. As of this morning, the Thai baht had dropped more than 10% against the US dollar year-to-date, according to data from the company. Against the US dollar, the Japanese yen dropped by almost 7% and the Malaysian ringgit declined by 5%.
For Thailand, which relies heavily on tourism, the lack of international arrivals due to travel restrictions multiplied the "Covid devastation" on the economy, according to the bank's head of economics and strategy, Vishnu Varathan. As of this May, Thailand only had 34,000 tourist arrivals. Before the pandemic in 2019, the country welcomed around 40 million tourists.
"The sheer force of this 'tourism multiplier' means that it remains the decisive drag on THB… Further 'variant risks' and attendant rolling delays to tourism/travel resumption will continue to pose a clear and present threat to the THB."
Over the past year, Thai authorities have made attempts to reboot tourism after the halt on international arrivals. The Special Tourist Visa scheme, offering a 90-day visa that could be extended twice, allowing an up to 9-month stay, was started as an effort to draw visitors to Thailand during the pandemic. The catch… tourists still had to undergo quarantine and the thought of 14 days in isolation before a holiday drove away many potential visitors.
To draw in more tourists, Thai authorities decided to come up with travel schemes without a mandatory 14-day quarantine. Thailand recently launched the "Phuket Sandbox" and "Samui Plus" reopening schemes, allowing travellers who are vaccinated against Covid-19 to enter the islands without undergoing quarantine.
Priority was given to Phuket and Samui during the first phases of the vaccination campaign, as the tourist destinations were said to be of "economic significance," and health officials accelerated the rollout of vaccines to inoculate at least 70% of the populations with their first dose in time for the reopening.
But as the islands reopen, Thailand is grappling with its most severe wave of Covid-19 and the emergence of the highly transmissible Delta variant. Since July 1, only around 10,800 people have arrived in Phuket. And since Koh Samui's reopening on July 15, just 35 people from overseas have arrived.
Bank of Thailand updates 20 THB Banknote for improved hygiene and longevity
The Bank of Thailand has launched a new 20 baht banknote made of polyester. The banknote is said to resist moisture and grime, resulting in a longer shelf-life. The central bank began distributing the shiny new baht greenbacks on March 24.2022
The Bank of Thailand announced that people used the 20 baht banknote the most frequently, making them dirty and damaged. With an aim to offer residents cleaner and more durable banknotes, the material was changed from paper to polyester, which is a special plastic that doesn't absorb moisture and dirt. Because the banknotes are now more durable, they can be used for a longer time, which will help decrease banknote production and is benefit for the environment.
The new banknotes come in the same pattern and colour as the old ones, but its texture is different because of the new material. The bills have a slicker plasticky texture that's also thicker and crisper than their predecessors. The new bills are also more secure; they now feature a transparent spot in a Thai pattern, which is apparent on both sides for added security.
The bills are being distributed mainly by Siam Commercial Bank, as well as some specialized financial institutions. Meanwhile, the old bank notes made from paper can still be used as normal.
Is the Thai Baht falling in value?
Yes. And no. Depends on which currency you want to compare it to. Against the mighty USD, absolutely yes. In February this year, the USD was valued at 32.12 baht to the dollar. Now it's 36.48 baht to the dollar. Good news if you've got USD and heading to Thailand.
But the story isn't the same against many of the other world currencies. In fact the USD has surged against almost every currency over the past 6 months, seen as a flight to the 'trusted' greenback as financial, stock and cryptocurrency markets crash in a worldwide slow motion train wreck since the end of last year.
Against the Euro, the THB has strengthened, from 39.28 THB to the Euro (it's highest value over the past year), to 36.53 as of today. Much the same situation with the British Pound. The GBP has fallen from 46.41 THB to the Pound, at its highest over the past 12 months, to 43.19 THB now.
The Australian dollar, has had a slight rise, from 23.08 AUD to the THB at its lowest in the past 12 months, to 24.67 THB to the Oz dollar today. Same with the Canadian dollar (CAD) which has gone from 25.21 THB to 28.02 THB to the Canadian dollar today.
The Singapore Dollar (SGD) has also risen nearly 10% against the Thai baht since its lowest point in the past 12 months. Whilst the Japanese Yen has gone the other way, dropping nearly 20% against the Thai baht.
But the Governor of the 100% state-owned Bank of Thailand, Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, says he is not overly concerned about the Thai baht's current performance, noting that the 'fundamentals' of the baht and the Thai economy, generally, were in "good condition" and any similarities to the 1997 financial collapse are completely mis-interpreted.
So, if you're a US citizen, visiting Thailand at this time, you are going to get record exchange rates. Whilst, if you're from the UK or Europe, you are getting around 10% less baht compared to the high spot for your currency over the past 12 months.
Where to Exchange Money in Bangkok or other Cities in Thailand ?
Let talk a bit about Bangkok's money exchange scene before pointing out places with the best rates. In Bangkok, one can easily find a money exchange booth at any street corner across the city. This suggests that there are a large number of this kind of service in Bangkok. The suggestion is confirmed if you ask a local-savvy local. Bangkok money exchange services are available in forms of large currency exchange centers and small money changer kiosks. The good news is that they are all licensed. Foreign exchange service providers in Bangkok are categorized into 3 groups:
Money Exchange booths operated by Banks
Currency Exchange Chains
Independent Money Changers.
Rates vary between different providers, and also between different branches of the same chain. Among those kinds of service providers, currency exchange chains and independent money changers have the better rates. There is one thing we know for sure: Converting currency in Bangkok will always get you more baht than in your country. Even if you engage a forex service at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport. But we can always have the best among the best. With our money changer guide on hand, you will easily get to a reliable service that is close to your hotel or BTS and MRT stations. Make sure that your passport is there with you whenever you show up at a money changer. It is legally required.
Super Rich Thailand has come into the scene for more than 50 years. This reputable money exchange chain has won people's hearts through its excellent service and good rates. Their rates are usually the best in Bangkok. All of 14 money changers of this chain are in close proximity to tourist places or busy shopping areas, including one kiosk at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. A Super Rich Thailand branch is easily recognized through its green branding color. Website
Super Rich 1965
Operated since 1965, Super Rich 1965 is the biggest money exchange chain in the capital of Thailand. This chain has 22 handy-located branches; all offer good exchange rates, which are very close to the rates provided by Super Rich Thailand. Rumour has it that the founders of Super Rich 1965 and Super Rich Thailand are brothers, but please keep it to yourself. Orange color is a sign that helps you recognize a Super Rich 1965's money changer booth. Website

Demaryius Thomas, Ex-Denver Bronco, Is Found Dead
Demaryius Thomas, a former star wide receiver for the Denver Broncos who played for the National Football League for 10 seasons before retiring in June, died at his home in Roswell, Ga., on Thursday. He was 33.
His death was confirmed by a spokesman for the Roswell Police Department, who said in an email, "Preliminary information is that his death stems from a medical issue."
The N.F.L. described Mr. Thomas as a "standout" player. He played with the league for a decade, primarily with the Broncos, where he was a five-time Pro Bowler. In 2016, Mr. Thomas helped lead the Broncos to an unexpected victory against the Carolina Panthers in the 50th Super Bowl. In a statement, the Broncos said he "established himself as a dominant record-setting wide receiver who was an instrumental part of two championship runs and our victory in Super Bowl 50."
Mr. Thomas was selected among the Top 100 N.F.L. players four times and was the Broncos' second-leading receiver. He was traded to the Houston Texans during the 2018 season and later moved to the New York Jets before ending his career. By then, he had caught 724 passes for 9,763 yards and 63 touchdowns.
Mr. Thomas was born on Dec. 25, 1987, in Montrose, Ga. He had two younger sisters.
According to a biography of Mr. Thomas on the Denver Broncos' website, his mother, Katina Smith, and his grandmother Minnie Pearl Thomas were arrested on drug-distribution charges when he was 11. His father was serving in the Army in Kuwait at the time, according to local news reports. His mother was sentenced to 20 years in prison and his grandmother to life without parole.
In 2015, President Barack Obama commuted his mother's sentence. She later wrote about expressing regret for the crime and seeking freedom for her mother, who was still in prison. "Because I refused to testify against my mother," she wrote, "I received a 20-year mandatory sentence because I did not give 'substantial assistance' to the prosecution."
The following year, Mr. Thomas met the president at the White House, according to the Broncos' website. "We talked for a quick second," he said. "I told him 'Thank you for what you've done for my family,' for giving my mother clemency."
That same year, Mr. Obama commuted the sentence for Mr. Thomas's grandmother, after she had spent 16 years in federal prison. Mr. Thomas said at the time: "This was a blindside shot, but I'm happy. I'm excited. The past two years, I got my grandmother and my mother out. And a lot of other people got their family members out that didn't do crazy crimes, so it's a blessing."
Information on his survivors was not immediately available.
Jeff Clayton, who coached Mr. Thomas when he was a student at West Laurens High School in Dexter, Ga., said in an interview that as a teenager, Mr. Thomas had showed talent both as a football and a basketball player, but that he "didn't want to be in the spotlight."
Later in his career, Mr. Thomas would return to the high school to visit students, Mr. Clayton said. "Everybody would gravitate towards him," he recalled. But "he never really changed from that humble little kid," he added.
Mr. Thomas attended Georgia Tech, where he was drafted by the Broncos as the 22nd pick.
In June, when he announced his retirement in a video posted on the Broncos' Twitter feed, he said: "I'm going to retire a Denver Bronco. I'm honored; I'm grateful; I'm appreciative."
In the video, Mr. Thomas recalled his first touchdown with the N.F.L.
"Every time I see it, every time I watch it, I still get the chills," he said, adding, "I'm just happy to say I'm done and it did me well."

Woodson rekindles Knight memories as new coaches make debuts
By MICHAEL MAROT - Nov. 09, 2021 11:20 PM EST
In this Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2021, photo, Texas head coach Chris Beard, center, directs a practice at the team's facility, in Austin, Texas.

(AP Photo/Eric Gay)
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana fans welcomed coach Mike Woodson back to Assembly Hall with a rousing ovation Tuesday.
He walked off the court with a new addition for his trophy case.
After months of wondering what new wrinkles the former Hoosiers star would install and hoping yet another coaching change would finally restore the Hoosiers' glorious past, Woodson finally got a chance to show everyone the work he's done.
"It feels good to be 1-0, but we've got a long way to go," he said after Indiana held on for a 68-62 victory over Eastern Michigan, Woodson's first as a college coach. "And I will keep that ball as a souvenir."
The opening day of college basketball tipped off Tuesday filled with hope, certainly at Indiana and some five dozen schools that changed coaches during a tumultuous offseason. The Hoosiers' opponent was among them, bringing back one of their former players, Stan Heath.
Woodson isn't the biggest name or most prominent school on the list of changes.
Hubert Davis dressed in a powder blue pullover for his first game since replacing three-time national champion Roy Williams at North Carolina. The 19th-ranked Tar Heels rolled past Loyola (Maryland) 83-62.
"It is a big deal. It's emotional and it's a change," Davis said. "Me being in this role is different. I understand the impact of me being in this position."
Mike Krzyzewski, a five-time national champ and the career leader in wins, began his final season at No. 9 Duke with successor Jon Scheyer at his side for a showdown against No. 10 Kentucky. Former national runner-up coach Chris Beard left Texas Tech for Texas, where he replaced Shaka Smart (who went to Marquette), and begins his next chapter Tuesday against Houston Baptist.
Porter Moser, who led Loyola Chicago to the Final Four and replaced Lon Kruger at Oklahoma, made his debut against Northwestern State. And new Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd started his job against Northern Arizona.
Lloyd was considered Gonzaga's coach-in-waiting after 20 years as Mark Few's right-hand man, but took the opportunity to lead one of the West's other elite programs — drawing a buzz at the McKale Center even before the opener. It revved up even more during the pregame hype video, capped by a loud roar during introductions.
The Wildcats fired Sean Miller in the spring, while Indiana made the same decision with Miller's brother, Archie, opening the door for Woodson's hiring and much-anticipated debut.
It was a fitting start for a new era at Indiana.
In December 1971, Bob Knight made his Indiana debut at the grand opening of one of the state's best-known basketball cathedrals. This time, as the Hoosiers tipped off their 50th season inside the building, Woodson became the first true Knight disciple to return to the Indiana bench — though longtime assistant Dan Dakich served in that capacity briefly as an interim coach.
"I'm excited for the change," said 56-year-old Walter Marker, a fan from New Castle, Indiana. "I think he'll bring in some talent and expose the guys to an NBA style. I think it's a great culture change, similar to Bob Knight, and when you talk to people around New Castle, everyone's excited."
Woodson, the first Indiana alum to run the program without an interim title since Lou Watson was hired in 1965, sensed it. Longtime fans remember how Woodson dazzled fans on high school courts around Indianapolis before playing for Knight from 1977-80.
The 63-year-old said he received dozens of ticket requests from friends and family and wasn't sure how he'd react to coaching his first college game after spending the past quarter-century on NBA benches.
Some new coaches, such as Micah Shrewsberry of Penn State, Kevin Kruger of UNLV and Mark Adams at Texas Tech, are getting their first big breaks. Others like Tim Miles at San Jose State and Richard Pitino at New Mexico are getting new opportunities to prove themselves.
There are also some familiar names, too.
Former NBA All-Star Reggie Theus took the Bethune-Cookman job after being out of college basketball for 14 seasons. Rodney Billups, the brother of former Colorado and NBA star Chauncey Billups, is at Denver. Hofstra, Lamar and Minnesota all hired alums — Speedy Claxton, Alvin Brooks and Ben Johnson.
Johnson was feted by his players with an ice water dousing in the locker room after a 71-56 victory over Kansas City.
"That's the reward for me, to see those guys excited, to see those guys confident in what they're doing, what we're doing," said Johnson, a Minneapolis native. "That's just a really good feeling."
But on opening night, everyone was eager to see where a fresh start would lead.
"I think we almost needed to have someone from that (Knight) era," said J.R. Smith, a 50-year-old fan who made the drive from Kokomo to Bloomington to see Woodson's opening night. "What I really like is how he brought back the older guys so the younger guys could see why they are here."

Q: BeginRouteForm doesn't work with API routes? I have a form I'm trying to create with relatively simple code:
@using (Ajax.BeginRouteForm("DefaultApi", new { controller = "persons" }, new AjaxOptions {HttpMethod = "post", OnSuccess = "someSuccess"}))}
{
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name)
}

I have a PersonsController, which is an ApiController, and I have the following route in WebApiConfig:
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DefaultApi",
    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);

But the BeginRouteForm call returns no action. The resulting HTML:
<form action="" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-method="post" data-ajax-success="someSuccess" id="form0" method="post">
</form>

As you can see, the action is empty. It's not complaining it can't find the route (which it would if it couldn't), so what's going on? I've even tried providing an empty id in the routeValues object, but that doesn't work either (though it shouldn't be required since id is optional).
What am I missing here? Can you not use BeginRouteForm with routes added via MapHttpRoute? The behavior is the same with both Html.BeginRouteForm and Ajax.BeginRouteForm (as it should be, they have the same base). Obviously I'd expect the action to come back '/api/persons' in this case.

A: Having MVC 5 and Web API 2.2 the following markup in a view worked for me:
@using (Ajax.BeginRouteForm("DefaultApi",
        new { controller = "User", HttpRoute = "true" },
        new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", OnFailure = "onFailure", OnSuccess = "onSuccess" }))
{
}

Habitats are now for going wide, and other musings on the new economy
On Dec 10, 2018 8:51 am, by Gamer
I've played 3 games to ~2400 by now, at which point they slow down too much for me to enjoy them anymore. I've been having a blast, but there are some issues with how the economy works now. So following is a bit of an essay/analysis of the new economy system and how it compares and contrasts with the old one, as well as some consequences for playstyles, etc… Mostly I'm writing it to put my thoughts down. It's probably too long, you don't have to read if you don't want to.
The world before 2.2
The economy system hasn't changed much since 1.0. Pops grew by themselves if they had access to food, and squatted on tiles. Tiles had bonuses. You could keep some of those bonuses if you built a building matching it. It was pretty simple in a way.
At first there was no real concept of going "tall" – your pops grew at the same speed on each planet. Fewer planets, fewer growing pops, and there was little consequences for growing except higher tech costs. But there was also relatively little point in growing except to increase the number of tiles you had access to / the number of systems you could lay claim to (remember pre-2.0, borders grew as a function of population? Pepperidge farm remembers). Pop growth was a huge advantage very early on to gear up your economy, but you'd usually hit a point in the late early game where you were filling up your new colonies relatively fast and you were just waiting for buildings to keep buildings, new techs to allow access to upgrades, rinse and repeat. The growth of your colonies was mostly a very early thing for pop growth, then a late-game run of upgrades, and that was it.
Robots were there since 1.0, and they allowed you to grow twice as fast. They were an early game bonus, essentially. They were also a late game bonus, because synths had major bonuses, more than genemod could give you (remember the limited affair that was genemod before traditions?). But they were very skippable – they just got you to the point where your planets were all filled up waiting for upgrades, faster.
Likewise, slaves were a bonus and a liability. They were unhappy, but would keep your xenophobes happy. But they also stole your pop growth, so they werent as much of a bonus as the robots, unless you picked syncretic evolution or planned to use them to colonize planets you had no access to.
Refugees, when they were introduced, were mostly pointless. They tended to have traits you didnt really want, and all they did was help you slightly in the early game filling up your planets, while being a liability later with having suboptimal traits. Plus they would emigrate everywhere or anger your xenophile factions if you turned migration off. Their only purpose was maybe for early colonization of other planet types.
Back in the good old days, you couldnt terraform an already colonized planet, there was no ring worlds and few gaias, and your pops simply couldnt colonize the wrong type of planet. So your conquered species were good for that – you could double the access to planets in the early/mid game. Near the end you could terraform everything or genemod yourself into different alternate forms so it wasn't as important.
The world after LeGuin
Like I said, I've played 3 games till 2400 in the new patch. It's a very different affair from before. Your colonies keep growing and growing and growing, and unless you make a point of arresting their development early (and why would you?), it takes a very long time before they stop growing. If you're pretty diligent about applying most possible +pop growth bonuses, your starting size 16 planet will probably grow until around 2350-2400. It's the late game until your colony is "mature".
The cycle is typically this: Early game, you focus on districts, as they give you the main 3 ressources you need and some housing. Once in a while you run out of housing and buy a city, but it's not often. When you get a building, you build an advanced building – the unity monument to keep going on traditions, then alloys or research depending on if you're playing wide or tall, or consumer goods if you need them.
Most other buildings are useless. You don't need police or stronghold or entertainers or anything, your city districts and your capital will probably keep your guys awash in amenities. If anything, I sometimes build the gene clinic which gives amenities and +pop growth.
You spend most of a young colony's life waiting for growth to take you to your next building, which you desperately need for advanced resources. But then something strange happens – at around early mid to mid game, the jobs you can provide on your colony start to vastly outstrip your population growth. Upgraded buildings give 4, then 10 jobs. Instead of waiting for growth to unlock building slots, now you have 5-6 empty waiting for growth.
In the late mid-to late game, your planet is reaching somewhere around 100-150 pops, you're starting to optimize your building slots for maximum jobs, and prioritizing cities over resources in the districts (by this point you've specialized your planets into one resource type). This is typically where trade becomes king – trade is a bit too job intensive for its benefits early game, but later game you will make the majority of your income from trade from the +5 clerk building (and its improvement). It's just about the only building your chattel slaves can work in (and droids, but not robots). At some point you finally run out of cheese at the same time as you run out of nachos, and you decide to call it quits. If you don't turn off pop growth, pops will eventually get tired of not having jobs and homes and will emigrate to other planets, boosting their pop growth.
Read: With all these suggestions about origin civics, why not make the next story pack "Stellaris: Origins"
Pop Growth is king now. You can do a lot of stuff to improve it. Choose good traits. Spend the 1000 food on the planetary decision (tedious to remember to do it). Change the food policy. Research techs. Build a genemod. But that's about it otherwise.
One of the two most important things you can do otherwise – build robots and accept refugees.
Robots: You've heard robots have been nerved. They really have. They no longer have any bonuses to anything, except synths who have a 10% flat bonus. They take 50 months to build apiece. You only get a couple robomodding points. The AI ignores your bonuses anyway. So why bother? Well, 1) It's one of the only want to increase your pop growth, and popgrowth is king. 2) They only take half the housing and amenities, and they produce about as many ressources. My runs where I've built robots have been much more succesful than the ones where I haven't.
Refugees: Popgrowth is king, so what's not to love about extra pops? The growth algorithm is kind of wierd right now, and it seems to want your empire to be a cosmopolitan society of equal weights of all races, so unless you micromanage the growth anything you accept will end up all over the place. I suggest genemoding to make a few useful races from the refugees. Either way, though, extra refugees means an accelerated movement towards your mature colonies.
Note the two above don't really count slavery. Unless you move your slaves back to your core planets (which I find gamey plus its expensive in the early game when you would want to), slaves don't help as much as you would want them to. When you take over their planets, they all get demoted to workers, and your main species has to take over the ruler/specialist jobs (which there can be dozens of on their homeworld). Throw in a different planet preference, and that can be pretty tough. If you don't turn off natural growth for your new slave race you will start building the slave race on your home world (it is trying to escape unemployment) where it's the wrong world type, etc… it's a mess honestly.
In this new world, playing tall is no longer really an option. You get the same pop growth on every planet, so the less planets you have, the slower you are growing upwards as well as laterally. This is very different than before where the total number of tiles was most important, so a lifeseeded start with the bonuses and avoiding expansion maluses could still be viable. Here, without your other planets, you just don't grow enough pops.
This brings me to habitats. They are awful for playing tall now. They cost a whopping 5000 alloys (which is not bad on a wide play, but prohibitive on a tall play). More importantly, they're awful in terms of administrative cap efficiency.
In principle they shouldn't be – according to the devs, they have better districts than planets, and as such they should allow you to get more bang out of your buck. It's true to an extent – all of the habitat districts offer 3-5 jobs. The problem is that most of the buildings are gone. Habitats are like early-game colonies that can never claw out of the early game, because they don't have access to research or trade buildings with 10 jobs. You still have access to the alloy buildings, but by that point you have (or could have) an ecumenopolis that would do the job one hell of a lot better. Two of the districts offer you things you don't need – entertainers on a colony doomed never to overpopulate, and clerks, which is not bad but without other trade buildings you just can't specialize enough. The trade districts aren't awful, but they're not great either.
So each habitat costs you some 8-10 admin points for around 40-45 pops, whereas even a size 10 colony will cost you 12 admin points, can reach >100 pops and reach economies of scale with the better buildings, even if the districts are inferior.
So what good are habitats then? Well, they're not bad if you're playing wide. Remember that popgrowth is king. Well, habitats are just about the only kind of colony that "maxes out" early, allowing its full popgrowth to emigrate to another colony.
In my game, my ecumenopolis was receiving a pop growth of >15/month (default is 3/month) from 3 habitats feeding into it, plus the usual bonuses. If you went nuts and prioritized them, you could probably build a whole bunch of "feeder habitats" that you would fill up just enough to trigger the emigration bonus, and then just see the rest of your empire explode in population growth. But you'll need a wide economy to support it.
So, what can be done?
I really really enjoy the new economy system, but it has a few quirks that should be ironed out.
First, population growth should probably be a little faster accross the board. Your starting planet should be entirely developed a bit earlier, and maybe some of the other colonies too. Right now that point is in the late game, if at all. Mostly I abandon my games before my homeworld has all its districts built up and filled out.

Second, pop growth should probably be balanced so that it is not always an overwhelming advantage to spam colonies as fast as you can build them. Perhaps new colonies could have a low growth rate until they are bigger, and rely on emigration from the homeworld for longer? True, new colonies grow at half speed until you get to 10 colonists and build a new capital, but that only takes 10 years or so and it can be gamed fairly easily by resettling which only costs 150$ per settler. For 1500$ you can jumpstart your new colony, build the new center, and rinse and repeat. It used to cost influence to move settlers – why not go back to that?
As part of that, emigration is kind of wack right now too. Unless unemployed/unhoused or very low amenities, your pops don't emigrate (sole exception: new colonies will draw in colonists from the "core worlds" – a mechanic I love), but despite that as soon as you have a single alien pop, somehow your entire empire starts prioritizing building more of it. I like the system, but something's off about the balance.
Third, habitats have to be entirely re-balanced. Perhaps different versions of buildings can be built there, more efficient buildings? The districts should definitely be rebalanced. If the ecumenopolis can give 10 metallurgist jobs (and that only costs 20 000 minerals – about the same price as a single habitat), habitats can give at least 6 researcher jobs or 10 clerks on a district. They still wouldn't be as good as ecumenopolises, but they'd be a bit more viable.
Fourth, crime is out of whack. I really enjoy the system, it's fun, but it almost never comes in play. Basically the only time I've seen it is playing my slaver game where I took a planet where the whole population was demoted to workers and there was huge unemployment due to it. Truth is, most pops are always happy, and unemployment is hard to come by. It might make police and entertainers slightly useful?
Fifth, probably need to rework ringworlds as well as habitats. Right now they're essentially just a big bread-maker for your ecumenopolis. I've never bothered building more than 1 section of a ringworld (at size 50 that takes FOREVER to fill). Ringworlds can't do minerals, and technicians are starting to give way to trade at the point of the game where you have access to them. They're size 50, which means you kind of have to build all farm districts since you really won't need many cities at all, and you won't have the building space to take advantage of the large population even if you did. All in all, ringworlds used to feel really cool and now they're pretty lame. Megastructures (and everything else) is kind of prohibitive now that we're paying for them in alloys too. By the time you can afford them, you don't need them anymore. The Ecumenopolis is way cheaper and way better.
Sixth, the habitability thing is just kind of annoying now. There's no easy way to take over enemy planets. The natives are all enslaved, so they cant do any of the specialist jobs, but my own species hates their planet so won't willingly migrate there unless I turn off population growth for the slaves. I could just purge all of them, but then my species start migrating by default and I end up with a 20% habitability planet I don't want. I'm also finding it difficult to get a good grasp on what the increased upkeep really means in practice. I enjoyed the system more before. We went from "you can only land on one type of planet and have to research other types and genemod yourself" to "ok you can colonize three types of planets but 2 of them will make you unhappy and you'll have slow pop growth" to finally "you can go wherever you like lol we don't care" and I don't think the game won for it.
Seventh, and I'm going off-topic here – but I noticed the AI doesn't build any defensive structures, and there is no longer any "fortification" bonus that requires me bombing. I've just been dropping my troops in naked and taking planets without a fight. I'm not sure if it's a mechanics change or just the AI being dumb, but perhaps there ought to be free soldier jobs based on population (like crime and merchants) to spawn militia armies. I shouldn't be able to take a planet with 100 pops on it with 4 attack armies without any bombing.
Musings from a middle aged man...
You aren't going to be watching me on Twitch and double digit kill games aren't on the horizon for me. You can probably build faster than me and your KD is better than mine. I play the game to stay alive as long as possible, which isn't always glamorous or glitzy. I'll out-wait you in…
Musings on the use of Catapult aircraft
Just pondering out loud is all. Many ships equipped the things, even so far as to say many ships that have no right with aircraft had them. TLDR- Shipborne aviation was kinda important. So how can it be represented in game? Obviously the first thought was that of actually letting a player take control of…
Tall versus wide in 2.2
tl;dr tall is a lot better now especially for science, this is good since wide is op in 2.1 There's a few things going on here. The first is that what adds to research costs is going over your "administrative capacity." What gives additional administrative points seems to be colonies and districts. There's a few…

Q: How to break a long sentence in correct places in IE I have to display really long sentences in a paragraph in a div. Couple of things I have to take care for this situation. 1. The lines should not go out of bound 2. The wrapping/breaking of the sentence should happen at the appropriate places, such as spaces between words. The following CSS works really well in Chrome. The code is from https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/prevent-long-urls-from-breaking-out-of-container/ with a minor modification.
 .handle-long-sentence{
     white-space: normal;

     overflow-wrap: break-word;
     word-wrap: break-word;

     -ms-word-break: break-all;
     word-break: break-all;
     word-break: break-word;

    -ms-hyphens: auto;
    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    -webkit-hyphens: auto;
    hyphens: auto;

  }

In IE11, the paragraph is displayed as flush with the word breaking randomly at various places.
Thanks

A: Finally I have found the CSS which worked in all three major browsers
.handle-long-sentence{
   white-space:normal;
   white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla */
   -ms-hyphens: auto;
   -moz-hyphens: auto;
   -webkit-hyphens: auto;
   -o-hyphens: auto;
   hyphens: auto;
}

This puts an hyphen in IE whenever a word is broken. In Chrome and Firefox, no word is broken and the space between words is used for word wrapping.

Families: W. Hayward, former P.O.W.
Prisoner of War: Mrs. Hayward, of "Ailsa Craig", School Road, has heard from the War Office that her husband, Sergeant W. Hayward, who was reported missing 13 months ago, is a prisoner of war in Borneo.
William Hayward was a Japanese P.O.W., and news of his release was published in the 'Reading Mercury' in late 1945. Some of the text of the second article is difficult to read, because it occurred on the fold of the page.
Alexina and William Hayward continued to live at 'Ailsa Craig' in School Road until at least the 1950's.
Mrs. W. Hayward, of 'Ailsa Craig', School Road, has heard that her husband, Battery Sergt.-Major W. Hayward, has been released from a Japanese Prisoner of War camp, and is now at Melbourne, Australia, awaiting transit home. Sergt. Hayward left Singapore just before the Japanese occupation, but was captured in Java in March 1941.
Battery Sgt.-Major W. Hayward arrived home last week after three and a half years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. In discussing his experiences, he paid tribute to the work of the Australian Army Medical Corps, whose [illegible] treatment after his release restored him to complete health. The survivors, he said, only kept alive by selling their personal possessions and buying [illegible] food. Throughout their captivity constant contact was maintained with the outside world through a secret wireless set hidden in the brickwork of the camp bakehouse.

Surry Hills legends, Single Origin Roasters are about to swing open the doors to their new takeaway café on York Street. The hole-in-the-wall space will bring the food and coffee they're popular for in Surry Hills, right to the middle of the CBD.


I need to do some things to my car while I save for the big upgrades (Looking at you, STI 6 Speed swap).
Looking at some cheaper stuff for now just to keep me busy!
The grille is a little easier to come by, and cheaper obviously but if I find both that'd be super!
Mud flaps? Not sure about these, big "Bro" upgrade especially since my car is more or less a street car now.
Vinyl wrap projects? Give me ideas. I want to do the whole car pretty badly.

Engineered Plastic 50mm Beige Extruded NYLON Pa6 Plate is the generic name for a family of long-chain polymeric amides. General characteristics of the nylons include toughness,strength,abrasion and fatigue resistance,low coefficient of friction,resiliency and heat resistance.
These Polyamides, commonly referred to as Nylon and available in Sheets, Rod and Tube and are distinguished by different types. The most common engineering Nylons are PA 6 and PA 66. Nylon stock shapes are produced by either extrusion or casting. The process is in part a determinant of the nylon properties of the end product. Modifiers are added to enhance desirable characteristics.
It will absorb the highest amount of moisture in comparison to other nylon grades.
Tough and resilient, it offers the best impact resistance out of the range of nylons.
Similar to extruded 6 but cast nylon 6 is harder and therefore easier to machine into bespoke plastic components.
Cast Nylon 6 offers good wear resistance.
Nylon 66 offers improved mechanical properties and improved high temperature performance. It is even easier to CNC engineer than Cast 6.
Looking for ideal Extruded Nylon Pa6 Plate Manufacturer & supplier ? We have a wide selection at great prices to help you get creative. All the Beige Nylon Pa6 Plate are quality guaranteed. We are China Origin Factory of 50mm Nylon Pa6 Plate. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.


Akash (Sanskrit: आकाश Ākāśa "Sky") is a medium-range mobile surface-to-air missile defense system developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) for Missile Systems, Ordnance Factories Board and Bharat Electronics (BEL) for other Systems in India. The missile system can target aircraft up to 30 km away, at altitudes up to 18,000 m. It has the capability to "neutralise aerial targets like fighter jets, cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles" as well as ballistic missiles. It is in operational service with the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force.
An Akash battery comprises a single Rajendra 3D passive electronically scanned array radar and four launchers with three missiles each, all of which are interlinked. Each battery can track up to 64 targets and attack up to 12 of them. The missile has a 60 kg (130 lb) high-explosive, pre-fragmented warhead with a proximity fuse. The Akash system is fully mobile and capable of protecting a moving convoy of vehicles. The launch platform has been integrated with both wheeled and tracked vehicles. While the Akash system has primarily been designed as an air defence SAM, it also has been tested in a missile defense role. The system provides air defence missile coverage for an area of 2,000 km². The Indian military's combined orders of the Akash, including radar systems (WLR and Surveillance), have a total worth of ₹ 23,300 crore (US$4 billion).
The first test flight of Akash missile was conducted in 1990, with development flights up to March 1997.
Two Akash missiles intercepted two fast moving targets in simultaneous engagement mode in 2005. 3-D Central Acquisition Radar (3D-CAR) group mode performance is also fully established.
The Akash Missile Development cost of ₹ 1,000crore (€150 million; $200 million), including the project sanction of ₹ 600 crore (€90 million; $120 million), is 8-10 times lower than the cost of similar system developments in other countries. Akash has certain unique characteristics like mobility, all-the-way-powered flight till target interception, multiple target handling, digitally-coded command guidance and fully automatic operation.".
As reported on June 11, 2010, Akash Mk-II version has begun development and will be ready for a first flight in 24 months. The Akash Mk-II will be a longer-range, faster and more accurate SAM. The missile will have an intercept range of 30–35 km and increase in the accuracy of the missile's guidance system and the fire control system. Putting a seeker on board to allow the Akash Mk-II to operate over a larger profile is one of the options being considered.
Akash is a surface-to-air missile with an intercept range of 30 km. It has a launch weight of 720 kg, a diameter of 35 cm and a length of 5.78 metres. Akash flies at supersonic speed, reaching around Mach 2.5. It can reach an altitude of 18 km and can be fired from both tracked and wheeled platforms. An on-board guidance system coupled with an actuator system makes the missile maneuverable up to 15g loads and a tail chase capability for end game engagement. A digital proximity fuse is coupled with a 55 kg pre-fragmented warhead, while the safety arming and detonation mechanism enables a controlled detonation sequence. A self-destruct device is also integrated. It is propelled by an Integrated Ramjet Rocket Engine. The use of a ramjet propulsion system enables sustained speeds without deceleration throughout its flight. The Missile has command guidance in its entire flight.
The design of the missile is somewhat similar to that of the SA-6 with four long tube ramjet inlet ducts mounted mid-body between wings. For pitch/yaw control four clipped triangular moving wings are mounted on the mid-body. For roll control four inline clipped delta fins with ailerons are mounted before the tail. However, the internal schema shows a different layout with an onboard digital computer, no Semi-active seeker, different propellant, different actuators and command guidance datalinks. The Akash carries an onboard radio-proximity fuse.
Composite technology for Akash includes radome assemblies, booster liners, ablative liners, sustainer liners, compression moulded wings and fins.
Each Akash battery consists of four self-propelled Launchers (3 Akash SAMs each), a Battery Level Radar - the Rajendra, and a Command post (Battery Control Centre). Two batteries are deployed as a Squadron (Air Force), while up to four form an Akash Group (Army configuration). In both configurations, an extra Group Control Centre (GCC) is added, which acts as the Command and Control HQ of the Squadron or Group. Based on a single mobile platform, GCC establishes links with Battery Control Centres and conducts air defense operations in coordination with air defense set up in a zone of operations. For early warning, the GCC relies on the Central Acquisition Radar. However, individual batteries can also be deployed with the cheaper, 2-D BSR (Battery Surveillance Radar) with a range of over 100 km.
Akash has an advanced automated functioning capability. The 3D CAR automatically starts tracking targets at a distance of around 150 km providing early warning to the system and operators. The target track information is transferred to GCC. GCC automatically classifies the target. BSR starts tracking targets around a range of 100 km. This data is transferred to GCC. The GCC performs multi-radar tracking and carries out track correlation and data fusion. Target position information is sent to the BLR which uses this information to acquire the targets.
The BCC which can engage a target(s) from the selected list at the earliest point of time is assigned the target in real time by the GCC. The availability of missiles and the health of the missiles are also taken into consideration during this process. Fresh targets are assigned as and when intercepts with assigned targets are completed. A single shot kill probability of 88% has been achieved by the system taking into consideration various parameters of the sensors, guidance command, missile capabilities and kill zone computations.
There are a number of possibilities for deploying Akash weapon system in autonomous mode and in group mode for neutralizing the threat profiles with defined multi-target engagement scenarios. In the Group mode we can have number of configurations to defend vulnerable areas depending upon nature and expected threat pattern, characteristics of threat. Similarly, multiple batteries in autonomous mode can be deployed to defend vulnerable areas/points. In a Group formation, the four Batteries can be deployed in various geometric formations, as suited to the vulnerable area being protected and the extent desired to be sanitized from enemy air threat. In a box deployment pattern, an Akash group can defend an area of 62 km x 62 km. In a linear array configuration, it covers an area of 98 km x 44 km. Trapezoidal configuration gives defense to the largest area as compared to any other pattern of deployment covering an area of size 5000 square km.
Each Akash battery can engage up to four targets simultaneously. Each battery has four launchers with three missiles each, with each Rajendra able to guide eight missiles in total, with a maximum of two missiles per target. Up to a maximum of four targets can be engaged simultaneously by a typical battery with a single Rajendra if one (or two) missile is allotted per target. A single Akash missile has an 88% Probability of kill. Two missiles can be fired, five seconds apart, to raise the Probability of Kill to 98.5%.
Communications between the various vehicles are a combination of wireless and wired links. The entire system is designed to be set up quickly and to be highly mobile for high survivability.
The Akash system can be deployed by rail, road or air.
The missile is guided by a phased array fire control radar called 'Rajendra' which is termed as Battery Level Radar (BLR) with a tracking range of about 60 km. The tracking and missile guidance radar configuration consists of a slewable phased array antenna of more than 4000 elements, spectrally pure TWT transmitter, two stage superhetrodyne correlation receiver for three channels, high speed digital signal processor, real time management computer and a powerful radar data processor. It can track 64 targets in range, azimuth and height and guide eight missiles simultaneously in ripple fire mode towards four targets. The radar has advanced ECCM features. The Rajendra derivative on a BMP-2 chassis and to be used by the Indian Air Force is known as the Battery Level Radar-II whereas that for the Army, is based on a T-72 chassis and is known as the Battery Level Radar-III.
The Army version also consists of the Battery Surveillance Radar (BSR). BSR is a track vehicle based, long range sensor, interfaced with the BCC. It can detect and track up to 40 targets in range and azimuth up to a range of 100 km.
Long range target acquisition is performed by the 3D Central Acquisition Radar (3D CAR), which is a long range surveillance radar that can track up to 200 targets in Track while Scan mode (detecting, tracking and processing) in three dimensions at a range of 180 km. It provides azimuth, range and height coordinates of targets to the Group Control Centre (GCC) through secure communication links. The data is used to cue the weapon control radar.
The Army's radar and launchers are based on the T-72 chassis built by the Ordnance Factories Board's Ordnance Factory Medak to accompany the Army's fast moving armoured formations. The Air Force versions use a combination of tracked and wheeled vehicle. The Air Force Akash launcher consists of a detachable trailer which is towed by an Ashok Leyland truck, and which can be positioned autonomously. Both the Army and Air Force launchers have three ready-to-fire Akash missiles each. The launchers can slew in both elevation and azimuth. The Army Self-Propelled Launcher (ASPL) is 360 degrees slewable and its arc in elevation is from 6 to 60 degrees. The Akash Air Force Launcher (AAFL) is 360 degree slewable, in elevation it can fire from 8 to 75 degrees in all directions depending on the mode of deployment. Akash Air force launcher features an All electro servo drive system for fully automated and remote operation.
To enable the Akash group to perform self-sufficient in the combat zone, a number of supporting specialist vehicles have been designed and developed. They are mobile and field-worthy. Their design is based on the role and task to be performed and the vehicles are accordingly allocated to the Group HQ, the Batteries, Assembly Line Area and the Field maintenance workshop. Some of the vehicles are: the Missile Transportation Vehicle (MTV), the Transportation and Loading Vehicle (TLV), the Mobile Station for Missile Checkout (MSMC) Vehicle, the Air Compressor Vehicle (ACV), the Power Supply vehicles (GPSV, BPSV), the Engineering Support, Maintenance and Repair vehicles (GEM, BEM) and a few others. These specialist vehicles assemble and prepare missiles, deliver them to Batteries, carry maintenance spares and fuel, and provide logistical engineering support. Their allocation provides for flexibility and self-sufficiency to the whole Akash Group.
The Akash, like the Russian 2K12 Kub (SA-6 Gainful), utilizes an integrated ramjet-rocket propulsion system, which provides thrust for the missile throughout most of its flight. Because this missile has an integrated ram-rocket, maneuverability is highest. The engine is 'on' throughout the flight. The thrust is on till the missile intercepts the target. Most other surface-to-air missiles, including the U.S. Patriot and the Russian S-300 series, use solid-fuel rocket propulsion.
Each missile is expected to have starting costs below US$500,000, i.e. under ₹20 million (₹ 2 Template:Crores), which is less than half the cost of similar Western missiles which usually cost between US$1.2-1.5 million (₹ 50-60 million) each. It is expected that this cost will further decrease due to the economies of scale achieved as production ramps up. The Indian military (IAF & IA) have a combined order worth ₹23,300 crore ($5.18 billion). On 24 May 2012, India successfully test fired Akash missile to revalidate technology and operational efficacy. On 1 June 2012, the Air Force version of the missile with a strike range of 25 km was successfully test fired from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur. On 3 August 2014 Akash missile test-fired from launch complex-3 of ITR at Chandipur off Odisha coast, Describing the trials as "fully successful", ITR Director M V K V Prasad said . the Air Force version has already been inducted while Army version is in the final stage of its trial. The Army version was inducted on 5 May 2015, as was tweeted by MoD Spokesman.   On March 16, 2016, Director of Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), K Jayaraman said that India is looking to double missile production to 100 per month, up from 50-60.
In December 2007, the Indian Air Force completed user trials for this missile. The trials, which were spread over ten days, were declared successful after the missile hit the target on five occasions. Multiple targets handling capability of Akash weapon system was demonstrated by live firing in C4I environment. Before the ten-day trial at Chandipur, ECCM Evaluation tests were carried out at Gwalior Air force base and mobility trials were carried out in Pokhran. The IAF had evolved the user Trial Directive to verify the Akash's consistency. The following trials were conducted: Against low-flying near-range target, long-range high-altitude target, crossing and approaching target and ripple firing of two missiles from the same launcher against a low-altitude receding target.
The Indian Air force was satisfied with the performance of Akash after extensive flight trials and has decided to induct the weapon system. An order for two squadrons were placed initially, with these being inducted in 2009. The IAF found the missile performance to be satisfactory and was expected to place orders for 16 more launchers to form two more squadrons for India's northeast theater.
In May 2008, the Indian Air Force decided to induct two squadrons (totaling 4 batteries) of Akash missile.
In March 2009, Tata Power's Strategic Engineering Division (Tata Power SED) announced that it had secured the INR 1.82 Billion order for 16 Akash launchers to be delivered in the next 33 months.
In January 2010, it was revealed that the Indian Air Force had ordered for 6 more squadrons. Each squadron will consist of 125 missiles, bringing the order to 750 missiles for 6 squadrons. The first two squadrons will consist of 48 missiles each while future squadrons will vary in number depending on the IAF. The additional missiles were ordered from state-run defence behemoth Bharat Electronics, who will act as the system integrator, at a cost of ₹ 42.79 billion ($925 million).
On 3 March 2012, the missile was officially inducted into Indian Air force at function at Hyderabad.
IAF orders may also rise as it phases out its Pechoras and if the Indo-Israeli JV to develop a MRSAM (Medium Range SAM) for the IAF continues to be put on hold, while a similar program for the Indian Navy proceeds unimpeded. On June 6, 2012, IAF successfully test fired the Air Force version of Akash missile from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur. Indian Air Force tested Akash missiles taken from the production lot on 26 April 2014 against maneuvering targets at extreme ranges The test was a success.
In February 2010, the Indian Air Force accepted the Akash missile system as a substantial part of its arsenal.
In November 2014 Surface-to-air supersonic missile Akash on Friday completed its training user trials successfully for 5 straight days validating all mission parameters as set by the Indian Air Force (IAF) team.
On July 10, 2015, the Akash surface-to-air missile was formally inducted in the Indian Air Force at Gwalior.
On September 1, 2015, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) cleared the purchase of seven additional squadrons of the Akash missile for the Indian Air Force.
On January 28, 2016, the missile was successfully test fired from complex-3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipuri in Odisha. As part of a user trial from the ITR, three rounds of test were carried out by the Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel aiming at para-barrel target. Tests were aimed at gauging the flight consistency and effectiveness of the missile, besides ascertaining the serviceability of the system in various conditions.
On March 8, 2016, Indian Air Force(IAF) demonstrated the missile at the exercise Iron Fist 2016.
In June 2010, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) placed an order of the Akash missile system, valued at ₹12,500 crore ($2.8 billion). Bharat Dynamics (BDL) will be the system integrator and nodal production agency for the Akash Army variant. The Army plans to induct two regiments of the missile.
In March 2011, a report indicates that the Indian Army has ordered 2 Akash regiments – approximately 2,000 missiles – worth ₹14,000 crore ($3.1 billion). These will replace the Indian Army's 2 SA-6 Groups (25 systems with 1,500 missiles), which were inducted between 1977 and 1979.
On 5 May 2015 Akash Missile was inducted into the Indian Army.
On 11 April to 13 April 2015, Indian Army successfully conducted six rounds of user trials of the missile. The tests were conducted from complex 3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipuri in Odisha. The missiles targeted pilot less target aircraft (PTA) Lakshya, unmanned air vehicle (UAV) 'Banshee' and a para barrel target, two times each.
On 30 March 2016, Indian Army stated that Akash area defence missile systems did not meet its operational requirements for defending its strike corps against enemy air attacks in forward areas, and was not ordering any more regiments. The Army instead was opting for four Israeli quick reaction SAM regiments. The missile was inducted into the Indian Army on May 2015. The Army is scheduled to get two Akash regiments by 2017.
It was also reported that Malaysia, Thailand and Belarus had shown interest in purchasing the Akash missile system.
The Indian Army has deployed one Akash Regiment in June–July 2015, with the second one to be ready by end of 2016.

xdget retrieves files in FASTA format from databases formatted with xdformat (not formatdb, pressdb, or setdb). The database must have been indexed prior to using xdget (see -I and -X in the previous section Section 14.4").
Here are a few example command lines. If identifiers contain vertical bars, as in the second example, you have to enclose the string in quotes to prevent the shell form interpreting them as pipes. This isn't required for identifier files.
Given an accession number without a version, xdget retrieves the latest version number. This parameter is set explicitly with -A n. If -A 0 is set, the earliest version number is retrieved.
The -a and -b parameters retrieve a subsequence. For example, if you want to retrieve just nucleotides 1 to 100, include -a 1 -b 100. For nucleotide sequences, if -b is greater than -a, the sequence is returned as its reverse-complement.
Ordinarily, when duplicate identifiers are present, only one is retrieved. With -d, all duplicates are reported. Having duplicate identifiers is generally not a good idea.
Sets the maximum definition line length. Using definition lines to store arbitrary sequence data is common. This option is useful when you don't need the whole definition line.
Appends messages and errors to log file.
Flushes the output stream after each request. This is useful for preventing I/O deadlocks between communicating processes.
Indicates that files of identifiers are given on the command line. The file format is one identifier per line.
Prefaces each definition line with its record number using the gnl namespace. The format is gnl|xdf|#.
Reports FASTA files to the named file rather than stdout.
For sequences with duplicate identifiers, the first one is retrieved by default. It is set explicitly with -N 0. Setting -N n retrieves the last one. Accession numbers with version numbers have different rules.
Sets the maximum line length for sequence data. Setting -P 0 puts the entire sequence on one line.
Returns the reverse complement for nucleotide sequences.
This option lets you restrict the lookup of identifiers to a particular database name or tag. For example, to look only in GenBank sequences, use -T gb. For only local, use -T lcl. For tags with multiple identifiers, a numeric suffix identifies which one to select. For example, -T gb1 selects accessions and -T gb2 selects loci. To prevent lookups in a database name, use zero. For example, -T gb0 omits GenBank records.

•Adds a target to a synchronized list of targets to be processed. Synchronized targets are downloaded one by one before other targets. This allows cookies to be set correctly.
•Use addTarget_ASync() instead to add the target to the asynchronous list of targets to be processed.
•By default, this function adds URL targets even if the target appears to have already been added. This allows adding similar targets but with different options/settings (like different POST variables).
