Speaking on BBC Radio 4's The Today Programme (7 March 2012), Professor Peter Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said that due to lack of funding and research into dementia 'we're going into the next global health time bomb' (1).
It's estimated that up to 90,000 people in the UK could have been misdiagnosed with incurable forms of dementia, when in fact they may be suffering from a form of the condition related to alcohol-related brain injury (ARBI) and which can potentially be reversed with the right treatment.
The national charity, which helps people overcome drug, alcohol and other problem behaviour, first published research in to alcohol-related brain injury (ARBI) in 2010 (2).
There are around 750,000 people with dementia in the UK (3), and studies suggest that ARBI accounts for between ten and 12 per cent of cases (4). This would suggest 75,000 to 90,000 patients could be affected by ARBI.
'Studies show that with treatment, a quarter of people with alcohol related early onset dementia recover completely. Another quarter recover enough to lead independent lives (5).

Homicide of 14-Year-Old on Folsom Street (Updated)
by Daniel Hirsch September 3, 2014 September 29, 2020
Rashawn Williams when he was a 7th grade student at Buena Vista Horace Mann. Mission Local was teaching a reporting class at the time and Rashawn was one of the students in the class.
Updated at 5:30 p.m.: Police have made an arrest in connection to yesterday's homicide. Police said the suspect is also a juvenile.
Rashawn Williams, a 14-year-old student at Sacred Heart Preparatory, was killed Tuesday evening after being stabbed on Folsom Street near the corner of 26th, according to police. After leaving Rubin's Market on the corner, Williams was stabbed by another boy, who witnesses say was Williams' age.
After the altercation, Williams' mother took him to St. Luke's Hospital, after which paramedics rushed him to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was shortly pronounced dead from stab wounds.
Abdulwahab Alshami, owner of Rubin's Market, said Williams was a frequent customer who had come into the store Tuesday evening with two younger brothers, ages 10 and 6. Once the boys bought their candy and snacks they stepped outside, where Alshami says two other boys were waiting.
"One boy had a knife and that one boy stabbed him and then they ran away" Alshami said. "Everything happened fast."
The police are actively investigating the crime, and no arrests have been made. Those who knew Williams say that his attackers did so out of a personal feud that stemmed from incidents of online bullying.
"It was started out of jealousy," said Williams' uncle Elwood MacMurray, who said the attackers had a personal grudge against his nephew.
Williams had just started his freshman year at Sacred Heart Preparatory and, by many accounts, was thriving. He was 4.0 student, enjoyed playing football, soccer, and basketball but also he often could be found with his face in a book—the Harry Potter series was a favorite.
Janay Jones, one of Williams' cousins, came into Rubin's Market following the killing and said she couldn't believe what happened.
"He didn't get into any trouble…I know his dad is going crazy," Jones said.
"He was a really good kid, good at sports, he had a scholarship to Sacred Heart," MacMurray said. "But he was very humble and quiet."
Williams, who lived in the Outer Mission, was the oldest of four siblings and, according to MacMurray, was like a second father to them.
"His little sister was only 18 months old, and he took care of the baby," MacMurray said. "He was so responsible…he had a very bright future."
In the very near future, MacMurray had just gotten Williams an after-school job working at an auto-body shop, but he "didn't get a chance to tell him the good news."
Rashawn Williams had participated in a Mission Local reporting workshop taught once a week during a semester in 2012 at Buena Vista Horace Mann Middle School.
Two of the reporters who volunteered to teach the workshop, Andrea Valencia and Molly Roy, knew Rashawn.
During the class, students were asked what topics are of their interest.
Andrea Valencia remembers that Williams was one of the kids who raised his hand and explained that he wanted to discuss racism and that a way to do so was by talking about the reelection of President Obama, a recent topic in 2012.
Other topics students suggested were the end of the world, and the World Series win of the Giants.
When practicing how to take photos of people, Rashawn loved making either very serious faces or very funny faces for the camera.
You can see Rashawn share his thoughts about the world below:

Yesterday, there was also a bank robbery at around 4 p.m. near Church and 24th. A man entered a local bank and handed over a note to the teller saying he had a gun and demanded money. The teller handed over currency and the man fled on foot. No arrests were made.
We'll update this page when we have more information about either crime. If you'd like to share information with the police you can do so anonymously by calling the Mission Station's tip line at 415-552-4558.
Crime is trauma and the county offers different services. Here is a link to a page of services.
Victims of violent crime can contact the Trauma Recover Center at UCSF.

What kind of writing is this?
Andrea Valencia says:
Hello @Nolan Cook, we have corrected and updated the story. Thanks, -Andrea
My heart goes out to this family.
irene Hernandez says:
this has nothing to with gentrification. your comment is so stupid and unnecessary! it seems that he got killed by someone he went to middle school with that was jealous of him. he was an incredible person and will be missed so much!!!!! this is a huge lost in our community! I can not imagine the pain his family is going through! I am sooooo sad! I remember him from Buena vista and he was the most amazing person! He will be missed by so many!!!!!
Hello @irene Hernandez, we have deleted comments that do not have anything to add to the conversation and therefore part of the comment thread has now disappeared. Best, Andrea
Elizabeth C. Creely says:
God. I am so sorry. This is horrible.
Such a senseless loss.
Hope that this wasn't gang motivated…
Martha Huff says:
sending love and prayers to Rashawn's mother and family, as a single mom who didn,t have it easy, but kept trying..a beautiful child. ….love to the Williams family
Can anyone explain why St Luke's Hospital could not treat a stab wound? If you can, please explain this – "After the altercation, Williams' mother took him to St. Luke's Hospital, after which paramedics rushed him to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was shortly pronounced dead from stab wounds." A child is dead.
JLI says:
SF General is one of the best trauma centers in the bay area (Level 1 Trauma Center), clearly the wound was life threatening; St Luke's is a medical center, they would not have moved him if they were able to handle the situation. When it's life threatening go to ER at General.
Sincere condolences to the family and friends of this young man.
SanFranJeff says:
St Luke's is not a trauma center.
S2 says:
SF General is the only trauma hospital in the city
Rebecca Guzzetta says:
terrible loss! God bless the famiy. A beautiful child, apparently inside and out. I am so angry.

Politics in 2017 is a far cry from 1951-52, when India faced her first full election. The internet and other technologies create wonderful opportunities for democracy, but they also create grave threats.
President Barack Obama's election in 2008 in the United States was historic on many fronts. Among other things, he was the first internet politician and his 2008 campaign ushered in a new era of modern, tech-savvy elections. From posting campaign videos on YouTube that were watched for over 14.5 millions hours, to sending promotional SMSs and emails to supporters, the Obama campaign not only made its poll promises and ideas freely accessible to internet and phone users all across the globe, it also turned its supporters into active and motivated campaigners who were forwarding these messages and video links to their friends and family. It is noteworthy that many of these new age "campaigners" would not have been able to contribute in a traditional door-to-door canvassing scenario — the use of internet and social media made it easier for them to support their favorite candidate's campaign.
One of the most consistent aspects of China's military policy is likely to undergo a significant transformation. Since its first nuclear test in 1964, China has maintained a relatively small nuclear arsenal designed to hold adversaries' population centers at risk. Even as it has modernized its conventional forces to "fight and win wars" against first-class militaries like that of the United States, China's nuclear arsenal is estimated to contain just 264 warheads, far smaller than the 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads Russia and America will each deploy under the New START Treaty, to say nothing of the nearly thirty thousand warheads they maintained during the Cold War.
This smaller arsenal is consistent with China's different perspective about the nature of deterrence, as well as its no-first-use nuclear doctrine. At the same time, a couple of technical developments are likely to propel China to undertake a significant nuclear buildup in the coming years.
** Can a New US Surge Stabilize Afghanistan?
Trump is considering sending more troops to Afghanistan, but that won't solve the underlying problems.
President Donald Trump and his top policy advisers are worried about America's longest war, in Afghanistan. The people of Afghanistan are worried as well. The question of whether the country's fragile, corruption-ridden, and politically polarized National Unity Government (NUG) can survive its many foes –including an emboldened insurgency, crippling political division among the countries' elites, and devastating tensions with its neighbors — is a common one among political analysts, ordinary people, and even government employees. In the last months, the Taliban has launched some of the most complicated and deadliest attacks that left not only scores of soldiers and civilians dead, but also humiliated the Afghan government and its partners. This week's deadly bombing in Kabul was just the latest tragic incident.
Last month's attacks on military base in northern Afghanistan, in which between 160 to 500 soldiers were killed or wounded, raised a simple question: is there a government with basic statecraft and functional apparatuses in Afghanistan? The Taliban claimed that four of the attackers involved in the raids on the military base were the group's "moles," who had infiltrated the Afghan National Army's ranks and had credible insider knowledge about the base's structure and vulnerability. A similar claim was made after the assaults on the military's largest hospital in Kabul. The politicization of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and the loose recruitment mechanism has practically paralyzed the ANSF, destroyed its intelligence and command structure, and shifted the war equation in Taliban and the Islamic State's favor. According to latest report, the government controls less than 60 percent of the country, which is alarming.
TOKYO (AP) – With the dust now settling after "WannaCry", the biggest ransomware attack in history, cybersecurity experts are taking a deep dive into how it was carried out, what can be done to protect computers from future breaches and, trickiest of all, who is really to blame.
But beyond the frequently used shorthand that North Korea was likely behind the attack lies a more complicated - and enlightening - story: the rise of an infamous group of workaholic hackers, collectively known as "Lazarus," who may be using secret lairs in northeast China and have created a virtual "malware factory" that could wreak a lot more havoc in the future.
Big caveat here: Lazarus doesn't reveal much about itself. What little is known about the group is speculative.
Trump's diatribe against India in his speech on the Paris Agreement is hard to explain, especially when a Modi-Trump meeting is supposedly on the cards, says Ambassador T P Sreenivasan.
The hue and cry about the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change announced by Donald Trump, together with the accompanying hyperbole, has made the Agreement appear like a Magna Carta of developing countries like India and China.
Nations, which were once sceptical and hesitant to sign the Agreement because of its departure from the global consensus in Rio and the Kyoto Protocol have declared their allegiance to the treaty with great vigour.
Trump has actually united the world in support of the Paris Agreement rather than undermine it. But the US today is in the dubious company of Nicaragua and Syria, who have opted out of the Paris consensus.
Rejection of the Paris Agreement on climate change was part of the bewildering array of election promises, which Trump had placed before the electorate.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Russia visit raises a fundamental question: Is Moscow still India's 'tried and trusted' friend? Russia's growing relations with India's adversaries, China and Pakistan, have spurred unease in New Delhi. However, many in India have failed to grasp the factors driving Moscow's overtures to Pakistan or its sale of offensive weapon systems to China.
Such moves have little to do with India. Russia may be in decline economically but, geopolitically, it is a resurgent power, spreading its geopolitical influence to new regions and pursuing rearmament at home. Russia is the only power willing to directly challenge US interests in the Middle East, Europe, Caspian Sea basin, Central Asia and now Afghanistan, where America is stuck in the longest war in its history.
In keeping with the maxim that countries have no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests, Russia has rejigged its geopolitical strategy to respond to the biting US-led sanctions against it since 2014. Russian President Vladimir Putin has significantly expanded the geopolitical chessboard on which Moscow can play against the US and NATO.
What Does America Consider Success in Afghanistan?
America must start measuring success in Afghanistan by achievements on the ground and not by unrealistic expectations.
Wednesday's terror attack in Kabul is a stark reminder of how brutal the war in Afghanistan still is. A suicide truck bomber drove near the German Embassy in Wazir Akbar Khan, the diplomatic heart of Kabul, and then detonated his bomb amid the morning rush-hour traffic. The blast killed at least ninety civilians and wounded another four hundred.
This wasn't the first such attack in Afghanistan, and it won't be the last. After almost sixteen years of war in Afghanistan, it is only natural to wonder: how do we know if we are winning?
China's plan to drive the Eurasian landmass' future growth is audacious. By committing trillions of dollars to infrastructure projects across 60 countries, China could transform the lagging economies of the region and place itself in the enviable position of being Asia's true pivot. Nevertheless, the new Silk Road blueprint—formally called the Belt and Road Initiative—presents risks as well as benefits.
President Xi Jinping emphasized the benefits at a recent Beijing summit with leaders from more than two dozen countries, including the late addition of a senior Trump administration official. Xi pledged that China will substantially enrich the pot for the initiative announced in 2013, which, if successful, will propel economic growth for more than 1 billion people in some of the poorest regions of Asia and Africa. Some have touted the initiative as a Chinese Marshall Plan.
But unlike the European Marshall Plan, which helped rebuild a region with stable political systems, a well-functioning bureaucracy and an educated population, the Belt and Road Initiative targets countries that are struggling on multiple fronts, faced with wobbly governments, terrorist threats, illiteracy and inhospitable terrain, to name a few. If China's scheme to erect highways, railways, power grids, pipelines and other huge projects fails—and there will undoubtedly be some failures—host governments could be left deeply in debt, jeopardizing China's relations with them on a long-term basis.
China has sent a lower-ranking delegation to a regional security forum in Singapore this weekend, and in stark contrast to previous events, none of its members will give a keynote speech.
Military sources suggested that leaders from the People's Liberation Army could not attend as they were focused on overseeing reforms that will see huge cuts to the nation's armed forces and preparing for a key Communist Party congress later this year.
A spokeswoman for China's foreign ministry rejected suggestions by overseas media that the low-key presence at the Shangri-La Dialogue was due to the diplomatic spat with Singapore at the end of last year.
Nine Singapore armoured personnel carrier were impounded in Hong Kong in November after they had taken part in military exercises in Taiwan. Beijing considers the island a breakaway Chinese province and tries to limit its contracts with foreign dignitaries or governments.
SHANGHAI—The VIP list at Beijing's glittering launch party for its massive Silk Road trade plan was worth scrutinizing not for the luminaries who were on it, but those who weren't.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who irritates Beijing by standing up to its bullying in the South China Sea, was notably missing; he didn't get an invitation. European government heads were welcome, but mostly stayed away, as did leaders from India and Japan.
The no-shows reflect a broad disquiet: To skeptics, what President Xi Jinping calls the "Project of the Century" is, at heart, an imperial venture.
Eventually, China expects that the sprawling networks of trading infrastructure Mr. Xi proposes to install along ancient maritime and overland trails between Asia and Europe will tie together more than 60% of the world's population and one-third of its gross domestic product.
The "Medium" Aircraft Carrier: Why Doesn't the U.S. Navy Build More (But Smaller) Carriers?
The Medium Aircraft Carrier would have just two steam catapults instead of the four that were on larger carriers, meaning it could launch planes at just half the rate of larger carriers. It would have just two elevators instead of three. Although it had fewer planes, it deleted fleet air defense and antisubmarine warfare aircraft from the mix to concentrate on striking power, giving nearly as much as a supercarrier.
There were also advantages in building more, smaller carriers. For the first time in decades the number of carriers dropped below twenty, making it increasingly unlikely that enough flight decks would be available during a conventional war to service all requirements. Spreading naval aviation out among more platforms made it more resistant to individual wartime carrier losses. Finally, the increasing importance of new operating areas such as the Persian Gulf stretched existing resources.
Some may recall from earlier posts on 'Logistics In War' that in late 2016, the Chief of the Australian Army, Lieutenant General Angus Campbell, challenged the senior logisticians of the Australian Army to 'revolutionise' Army's logistics. This was not because sustainment operations were not successfully happening, nor was it a condemnation of any imaginary inadequacy perpetrated in the efforts of the soldiers, officers and civilians responsible for delivering Army its logistics, and through extension, operational capability. Such operations and efforts, also borne by the joint logistic community and the wider Defence organisation, have kept Australian forces in the field for nearly twenty years of operational activity.
Rather, the Chief's challenge was a direct statement that logistic transformation must come from within Army's logistics community; an encouragement to find innovative ways in which Army's logistic capabilities could be enhanced without substantially growing the land force. Furthermore, it reflected a need to break from tradition and habit to progress logistic development in a new direction. While not an indictment on Army's logisticians nor their leadership, the challenge compels the community to realise transformative efforts in balance with current operational needs, and with a speed of execution that will enable the entire Army to progress into the future.
A growing cadre of former military officers who served with Trump National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster are quietly calling for him to retire from service, worried the embattled Trump administration is tarnishing the U.S. military's reputation by deploying their own personal three-star general as a political shield.
In recent weeks, McMaster has acted almost as a White House spokesperson, thrust into the spotlight to promise that President Donald Trump didn't reveal anything inappropriate when he shared another spy agency's intelligence with two Russian officials in the Oval Office. McMaster was also the face—or the voice—of the administration on Trump's first foreign trip, giving off-camera interviews to explain what the president hoped to accomplish from Saudi Arabia to NATO.
Trump himself gave no interviews, as news broke back in the states that his son-in-law and key organizer of the trip, Jared Kushner, had reportedly sought to establish back-channel communications with Russia, using Russian communications equipment. McMaster claimed he was "not concerned" by "back-channel communications," though fellow military professionals say what Kushner proposed went far beyond discreet diplomacy.
Speaking Truth to Power; why is it so hard to tell the boss they are wrong?
The quote above refers to the battle to capture Coriano, as part of Op OLIVE, the Allied effort to breach the German Gothic line in Italy. Brigadier Goodbody, the Allied commander at the time, was unable to question his superiors, who possessed incorrect information on how the battle was unfolding, leading to a huge loss of life and time. Unlike his superiors, Brigadier Goodbody was not a veteran of the First World War and had significantly less operational experience. Brigadier Goodbody was, however, in a better position to see the level of German resistance that was unfolding. Despite his protests, he was ordered to continue with an attack that subsequently failed, leading to unnecessary loss of life and arguably an additional winter in Italy. This is just one example of how, at every level of command it can be difficult to question your superiors. If our focus is to deliver operational success as swiftly and efficiently as possible, every brain on the team needs to be engaged. Essential to this is truthful communication between commanders and their subordinates.
Leaders must create a culture in which their subordinates can question them when they have concerns or perceive problems. It is often those not in a position of leadership who can most readily identify risks, threats and issues, which if resolved and dealt with appropriately can enhance the likelihood of successful outcomes. A CO at Regimental Duty who always encourages subalterns to challenge upwards, will have to deal with the angst and frustration that may create, but will also benefit from having Subalterns who are engaged, who think critically about problems and may provide the sort of innovation which will generate solutions. Frank and honest communication between Commander and Subordinate will also generate Trust and Mutual Understanding, key principles of Mission Command.
Australian Air Marshal Leo Davies highlighted the "institutional interoperability which the Royal Australian Air Force was shaping with its closest allies, and notably with the US Air Force and the US Navy during his recent visit to the US. The Aussies are not simply camp followers – they are shaping a way ahead an integrated force, rather than staying at the service platform level.
When I interviewed him recently in his Canberra office, Davies underscored that the RAAF and the other services were adding new platforms as part of force modernization. But adding a new platform, even a key one like the F-35 was not enough to generate force transformation.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization would consider a large enough cyber attack against one member an attack on them all, according to NATO officials.
A persistent and devastating attack could trigger what is known as Article 5, NATO's collective defense measure, the officials told delegates at the International Conference on Cyber Conflict (CyCon) in Estonia Wednesday, according to Defense News. The invocation of Article 5 could theoretically cause the alliance to go to war in defense of a member state.
"Although many of the cyberattacks that we see fall below a level in their seriousness that could trigger NATO's Article 5, it is plausible that a cyberspace event of great magnitude could take place that might lead to the triggering of Article 5 in special circumstances," said Catherine Lotrionte, director of Georgetown University's CyberProject.
Estonia fell victim to one of the most destructive cyberattacks in modern history in 2007. The coordinated distributed denial of service, or "DDoS," attacks caused massive outages in infrastructure, banks and military computer networks. Estonian officials blamed Russia for the attacks. The two countries were engaged in a disagreement over the relocation of a Soviet-era statue at the time.
Can cyber coercion succeed? In other words, can threatening or conducting a cyber operation persuade an adversary to comply with one's demands? The answer matters now more than ever. Beliefs about cyber coercion's effectiveness are shaping U.S. decisions about technology, doctrine, and partnerships, particularly after Russia's interference in last year's presidential election. Regrettably, both officials and scholars offer unconvincing assessments.
Officials believe cyber coercion can succeed. Due to classification barriers, however, they cannot explain their rationales in detail. So, they must convince the public by being either authoritatively cryptic or persuasively alarmist. U.S. intelligence officials usually go cryptic, of course, while members of Congress love going alarmist — even after leaving the Hill. Both approaches leave the informed skeptic feeling dissatisfied.
Scholars, on the other hand, believe that policymakers have overhyped everything "cyber," including cyber coercion. Yet they too suffer from secrecy, which limits the evidence they can collect about past incidents. Lacking empirical facts, they have turned to drawing nuclear analogies and invoking higher authorities. As a result, the cyber strategy literature often feels like Herman Kahn's internal monologue, or a new war college drinking game where everyone takes a shot when someone mentions Clausewitz or Schelling. Make no mistake: One paragraph of Arms and Influenceis worth more than a lifetime subscription to the American Political Science Review. But raining down heavy Schelling is not enough to win the intellectual battle over cyber coercion. Scholars should also dissect evidence from actual cyber incidents, however imperfect, to substantiate their claims. While analysts have made progress, they need to do better.
The 845th and 901st Cyber Protection Teams validated their readiness to meet operational requirements set by the U.S. Cyber Command at a four-week training exercise directed by the 24th Air Force at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.
According to an article by Karen Petitt, 375th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs, the CPTs at Scott AFB are part of the cyber mission force intended to locate and counter attacks targeting critical infrastructure, and the "Black Demon" exercise proved these mobile squadrons' ability to utilize advanced tools and capabilities to examine cyber traffic, pinpoint issues and then secure critical systems.

WB loans get costlier, its terms too
Lender starts charging 2.0pc interest rate from this month
FHM Humayan Kabir | August 02, 2018 00:00:00
Bangladesh will no longer eligible for concessional loan from the World Bank as it has started lending at 2.0 per cent rate.
The Washington lender has made the higher rate effective from this month instead of 0.75 per cent, officials said on Monday.
Besides rate, the bank's other lending terms will be harder than the existing conditions, they said.
The bank has informed finance minister AMA Muhith through a letter on Sunday last about its new lending policy to be effective from July 1, 2018.
"We received the letter from the bank early this week. We will no more get loan at 0.75 per cent rate. Now, the bank will charge 2.0 per cent," secretary of the Economic Relations Division (ERD) Kazi Shofiqul Azam told the FE.
He said since Bangladesh has graduated as the "Gap country" from the concessional loan "IDA-only" status due to its higher per capita income threshold, the global lender will charge higher rate from now.
Currently, Bangladesh has been receiving soft loans from the bank's concessional lending arm-International Development Association (IDA).
A senior finance ministry official said that the bank had classified Bangladesh as the "Gap country" from July 01, this year but would lend funds in "blend" terms.
Blend term means the borrowing country will get loans at both concessional and harder terms.
This means Bangladesh will be getting loans from IDA at 0.75 per cent interest and the proposed rates varies from 2.0 to 6.0 per cent a year.
The official said the global lender has proposed making its loan harder as Bangladesh's GNI (Gross National Income) per capita income crosses the IDA's threshold for three consecutive years.
According to the bank, if a country's GNI per capita crosses operational threshold for three consecutive years, the borrower will be treated as the "Gap country" for securing bank funds.
Bangladesh's GNI per capita in the last three years was US$ 1,190, $ 1,330 and $ 1,430, which are higher than the bank's threshold.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh graduated as the lower-middle income country status, with its per capita GNI crossing the $1,046 in FY2016.
Mr Azam said while Bangladesh is still an IDA country, the nation has to repay the loans at 2.0 per cent rate due to its graduation from this financial year (FY) 2018-19.
As an IDA only country, Bangladesh has been getting loans paying 0.75 per cent service charges until the last fiscal year, which ended in June 30, he added.
The secretary said the repayment period for the bank loans has been reduced to 30 years from the current 38 years.
Besides, the grace period has been slashed to five years from the current six years period, he added.
In addition, Bangladesh will have to pay 0.25 per cent commitment fee for each of the loans from the global lender.
"We will borrow at SDR (Special Drawing Right) currency from the bank as its terms and conditions are less-stringent than those of the other currencies like USD, and Euro," said Mr Azam.
Another ERD official said if the country's per capita GNI increases in future years, Bangladesh will be graduated as the blend country under which the bank will offer loans from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, another lending window.
The country will have to borrow funds at more than 5.0 per cent with harder terms and conditions when it enters into the costlier lending arm, he said.
Meanwhile, a senior ERD official said the lender has already offered Bangladesh to borrow as a "blend" country.
"Since Bangladesh has sustained its GNI per capita income above the bank's threshold for three consecutive years, it has proposed lending at blend terms," said the official.
Among the South Asian nations, India and Sri Lanka have already been classified as "graduate countries" and Pakistan as the blend country.
The World Bank is Bangladesh's largest development partner as it helps the country reduce poverty.

Whenever you know things you need, you can look for the villa which may best meet your requirements. Consider the amount of bedrooms you need and compare the different features accessible. When it comes to your options, bear in mind that accessibility is a enormous element. Assess with the owners or listing agents to confirm that the facility will probably be around once you need it. Looking at pictures. When taking a look at website pictures of their property, you want to bear in mind that photos may be deceptive. Make certain that you start looking at hundreds of shots and appearance at both outdoor and interior perspectives of every and every unit. Many sites use photos taken in bad lighting and also this can hide many evils. Are you looking for phuket luxury villas? Check out the previously described website.
Where possible, it is helpful to visit the location or you could look for references so that you can get an accurate opinion on the state of the villa. You also need to learn about nearby attractions and also other available amenities. Get details. It's very essential to ask certain questions about every thing regarding the villa. Find out about the sleeping arrangements, kitchen accessoriesand proximity to the nearest food store, arrangements for maintenance along with other information. It is not enough to count on email communicating after making the reservation, speak directly to the owner or agent to ensure which you can clarify each detail. Make sure you assess reviews and references from previous customers, but remember that reviews that appear on the internet sites aren't necessarily true. Ask about warranties and discover the refund policies. Once you get to know these things then make your final choice.


Uniguard has been developed to detect smoke in ventilation ducts and consists of a smoke detector, mounted in an adapter system where both tube and housing are specially designed for optimum airflow through the smoke detector.
The system fulfills all the requirements for good fire detection with airflow speeds from 0.2 m/s to 20 m/s. A venturi pipe with auxiliary fan should be used to detect smoke in situations where ventilation is turned off and there is limited airflow in the duct. Uniguard is used together with a control unit (e.g. ABAV-S3) to control fire dampers and fans, activate acoustic and/or optical alarms etc. The detector is equipped with a bayonet mount, which makes it easy to replace. UG-3-O has an intelligent monitoring circuit that continuously checks and adjusts the sensitivity for optimum functionality during the entire life of the detector. When the detector can no longer compensate for environmental influences a service alarm is generated, which indicates that the detector needs replacement or cleaning. Uniguard Superflow has 4 pre-assembled Klikseal-type IP67-approved cable entries with automatic load anchorage for cable diameters 4 – 11 mm.
This product appears in Conventional fire detectors, Duct probe smoke detectors.


From 1 January 2015 the risks associated with supplement use increase as bans could get longer.
An important principle of the Code is that of strict liability, which states that athletes are solely responsible for any prohibited substances they use, attempt to use or is found in their system regardless of how it got there and if there was an intention to cheat. Before taking supplements, athletes must therefore assess the need, risk and consequences to their careers.
Diet, lifestyle and training should all be optimised before athletes consider supplements and they should always consult a medical professional or nutritionist and seek advice.
Supplements may claim to be drug-free or safe for drug-tested athletes. It is not possible to guarantee that specific supplements will be free of prohibited substances and athletes can only reduce the risk of inadvertent doping by making informed decisions.
There is an array of supplements available for athletes to purchase that have no prohibited substances listed as ingredients. Despite this, there have been several cases whereby supplement products have been contaminated with prohibited substances as defined by the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) Prohibited List.
In the UK, LGC has taken the initiative to create a scheme to support athletes in assessing the risk. The Informed-Sport programme is designed to evaluate supplement manufacturers for their process integrity and screening of supplements and raw ingredients for the presence of substances that are on the WADA Prohibited List. For further information, visit the Informed-Sport website.
UKAD believes this risk minimisation service to be a positive step and welcomes the approach being taken by industry and the LGC Informed-Sport programme.
However, we wish to remind athletes that strict liability will still apply and the appropriate sanctions imposed on any athlete returning an adverse analytical finding from any supplement product, as with all other cases of doping.

Toms River, NJ - The drought is over! The Ocean County College Women's Basketball team (1-16) won their first game of the season on Thursday (1/31) in a 61-54 victory against the visiting Cougars of Camden County College.
This was truly a team effort, with everyone contributing, from starters to subs. Freshmen Amy Galasso and Kyarra Williams led Viking scoring, with 24 and 19 points, respectively, while freshman Jenna Kulinski pulled down 12 rebounds, frequently stifling Camden's attempts at establishing a rhythm.
"We came into the game with a positive mindset. We knew this was a game we could win," remarked OCC Head Coach Avery Hodgson-Walters. "Every player was a key component in the game. Stefanie Gacho had a clutch rebound, and Lea Braen had a great offensive charge that really helped hang on to the lead. Coach Dana and I were so proud of how the women played and finished the game."
The Vikings will look for their second win of the season on Saturday, February 2nd, when they travel to Middlesex County College to take on the Blue Colts in a 12 p.m. matchup.

Q: How can i synchronous test with supertest codes:
should = require('should')
request = require('supertest')
request = request("stackoverflow.com");

describe "temp", ->

    input_output = [
        { input:"[mocha] [supertest]", output: ["asdf", "asdf"] }
        { input:"아버지가방에들어가신다", output: [ '아버지가방에들어가신다', '아버지', '가방', '에들', '어가', '신다' ] }
        { input:"hi hello", output: ["hi", "hello"] }
    ]

    for item in input_output

        it "curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=#{item.input}", (done) ->

            request
                .get("/search?q=#{item.input}")
                .expect(200)
                .expect (res) ->
                    console.log item.input
                    return
                .end(done)

outputs:

*

*temp

*

*hi hello

*

*✓ curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=[mocha] [supertest] (1017ms)

*hi hello

*

*✓ curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=아버지가방에들어가신다 (1023ms)

*hi hello

*

*✓ curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=hi hello (1124ms)

i expected below outputs:

*

*temp

*

*[mocha] [supertest]

*

*✓ curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=[mocha] [supertest] (1017ms)

*아버지가방에들어가신다

*

*✓ curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=아버지가방에들어가신다 (1023ms)

*hi hello

*

*✓ curl https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=hi hello (1124ms)

i know if i test without callback then i can synchronous test. but didnt work.

A: Try using a locally scoped variable inside the test. Something like this:
describe "temp", ->

    input_output = [
        { input:"[mocha] [supertest]", output: ["asdf", "asdf"] }
        { input:"아버지가방에들어가신다", output: [ '아버지가방에들어가신다', '아버지', '가방', '에들', '어가', '신다' ] }
        { input:"hi hello", output: ["hi", "hello"] }
    ]

    for item in input_output

        it "curl http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=#{item.input}", (done) ->
            itemInput = item.input // <-- save in local scope var

            request
                .get("/search?q=#{item.input}")
                .expect(200)
                .expect (res) ->
                    console.log itemInput // <-- use local scope var
                    return
                .end(done)

The Defense Department still isn't meeting its F-35 readiness goals
U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II and Israeli air force F-35I Lightning II aircraft approach a U.S. Air Force KC-10 Extender to refuel during exercise Enduring Lightning II over southern Israel Aug. 2, 2020. (Master Sgt. Patrick OReilly/Air Force)
WASHINGTON — The F-35 joint strike fighter is still struggling to meet its mission capable rate goals, with current figures well below the military's target, the Pentagon's outgoing acquisition chief told reporters on Jan. 19.
The Lockheed Martin-made F-35′s mission capable rate — which describes the percentage of aircraft that can meet at least one of its assigned missions — currently sits at 69 percent, falling short of the military's longstanding 80 percent goal, said Ellen Lord, whose time as the undersecretary for acquisition and sustainment ended Jan. 20 at noon after Joe Biden was inaugurated as president.
When looking at fully mission capable aircraft able to perform all of the F-35′s assigned missions, "we're currently at 36 percent fully mission capable, and we are striving to be at 50 percent for the fleet," she added.
Lord attributed the low percentage of fully mission capable jets to ongoing issues with the F-35′s canopy and the F135 engine's power module.
Although she did not elaborate, the program has grappled with a longstanding problem with "transparency delamination," where outer layers of the canopy begin to peel away from the base. In 2019, an F-35 joint program office spokesman told Defense News that the department was working with canopy supplier GKN Aerospace to improve the design and increase the supply of canopy transparencies.
Although the F-35′s mission capable rate has improved in recent years, the latest figures presented by Lord show that progress be stagnating.
In testimony to the House Oversight and Reform Committee in July, Lord noted that the mission capable rate for the F-35 increased from about 60 percent in January 2020 to nearly 70 percent in June of that year. Full mission capable rates improved from below 40 percent to nearly 50 percent over the same time period, she wrote.
A similar jump had been documented in Lord's testimony to the House Armed Services Committee in November 2019, where she wrote that mission capable rates for combat-coded squadrons had increased from 55 percent in October 2018 to 73 percent in September 2019.
It's not always easy to chart the trajectory of whether the F-35′s readiness is improving due to a host of factors.
Although Pentagon officials like Lord have, at times, provided updates about the jet's mission capable rates, it is often unclear whether the numbers cited reflect a single point in time — an especially good month where more F-35s are ready to fly, for example — or a sustained trend. Officials also sometimes talk specifically about "operational" or "combat-coded" squadrons, which leaves out a lot of the early model F-35s used by training and test squadrons, which are more prone to breaking down and needing repairs.
Other times, the department has made mission capable rate data inaccessible to the public. In a November report on aircraft readiness, the Government Accountability Office reported that mission capable rates of all three F-35 variants had been moving upwards since fiscal 2018, but did not provide specific figures because the Defense Department designated such information as sensitive.
Between fiscal years 2012 through 2019, the F-35A was able to meet mission capable rate goals in two years, the GAO reported. The F-35B hit its objective in only one year from fiscal 2013 to 2019, and the F-35C met its target two years over the same period.
The GAO noted that spare parts shortages had contributed to the F-35 not being able to meet readiness objectives.
"Specifically, the F-35 supply chain does not have enough spare parts available to keep aircraft flying enough of the time necessary to meet warfighter requirements," the GAO stated. "Several factors contributed to these parts shortages, including F-35 parts breaking more often than expected, and DOD's limited capability to repair parts when they break."

The Soundtrack to Your Life is Being Sung by Michael Bolton.
Everyone has that uncle. You know, the one who drinks too much at the family reunions and then throws water balloons at the neighbor's dog for barking too much. The one who everyone still loves, and wants around for all of the good and endearing parts of their mood swings, but wants to disavow them every Thanksgiving when they fall down the stairs and crap their pants. When it is your family, it doesn't seem to phase you so much. "That's just uncle Bill!", you say. "He's so funny and wacky!" Or in my family's case- sometimes, that's my dad. Every family has one. I had no idea that when I was thirteen years old, and I decided to give Jesus Christ an official tryout during some youth group meeting, that I was signing up for the same type of plan. Possibly something worse.

Q: Using ArcPy to zoom to selected feature? Is there a way to zoom to the extent of a selected feature using the ArcPy module in ArcGIS Desktop 10.

A: I'd say yes. The layer class has a getSelectedExtent method, and the Dataframe has an extent property.  Haven't tried it though.

A: I've got a piece of code that works.  I found it here on the ESRI website.  Add it as a script to a model, then connect the output of a select by attribute tool to it.  It does exactly what I want.
import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT')
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers") [0]
df.zoomToSelectedFeatures()
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

A: As you've already surmised,
df.zoomToSelectedFeatures()

will change the extents of the data frame to all selected features in the map frame. If you're interested in just zooming to a selection set for a specific layer then use lyr.getSelectedExtent(). I also adjust the map scale factor so my code either looks like this:
df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent()
df.scale *= 1.5
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

or this:
df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent()
df.scale = 12000 # 1:1,000
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

A: So, to add to this, I've been needing to keep track of the broadest extent across multiple layers with no features selected. The following code will track the furthest extent in each direction. extent_object stays constant across all calls to the function and should be initialized to one of the layers you are including. The argument "layer" to track_extent is an arcpy.Mapping.Layer object. When you are ready to save your map, just set your dataframe's extent via something like data_frame.extent = extent_object
extent_object = initial_layer.getExtent()

def track_extent(extent_object,layer):

    l_properties = layer.getExtent()

    # each of these essentially says that if this layer is further out to one direction than the current setting, change the setting
    if l_properties.XMin < extent_object.XMin:
        extent_object.XMin = l_properties.XMin
    if l_properties.YMin < extent_object.YMin:
        extent_object.YMin = l_properties.YMin
    if l_properties.XMax > extent_object.XMax:
        extent_object.XMax = l_properties.XMax
    if l_properties.YMax > extent_object.YMax:
        extent_object.YMax = l_properties.YMax

Inquiry launched into wave machine drama
AN investigation was under way last night to find out what caused a pioneering wave power machine to overturn off the north Suffolk coast.The 80 tonne demonstration wave generator was left floating loose with the tide off the coast of Southwold on Sunday afternoon after the pontoon which was being used to tow it into position capsized.
AN investigation was under way last night to find out what caused a pioneering wave power machine to overturn off the north Suffolk coast.
The 80 tonne demonstration wave generator was left floating loose with the tide off the coast of Southwold on Sunday afternoon after the pontoon which was being used to tow it into position capsized.
It was towed to safety on Sunday and grounded about three miles east of Southwold harbour so that it was out of the way of shipping and remained in the water overnight.
Yesterday, engineers from London-based company Trident Energy, which has created the machine, moved the 16 metre high platform so that they can check for any damage and try to find out what caused the incident.
A Trident Energy spokesman said: 'There was a problem with the towing process, which led to the demonstration wave generator overturning as it was being taken out to sea to being its year-long offshore trial.
'It was grounded in a safe place away from shipping and the company has arranged to move it to a safe place to carry out a full assessment.
'They are just waiting to be able to do a full assessment of the platform, they do not yet know if it is damaged. They are going to do a full investigation.'
She added: 'Trident Energy can confirm that the incident was in no way related to its patented technology to convert sea wave energy into electricity. No injuries were sustained during the incident and the company has cooperated fully with the maritime authorities throughout the process.'
The machine, which was made at the Small and Co boatyard in Lowestoft, was due to be set in place off the coast to start a 12 month offshore trial.
Its simple design involved floats moving up and down with the waves to drive generators which then convert the motion into electricity. The machine would be supported by submerged pontoons anchored to the sea bed.
The model was smaller than those ultimately developed for commercial use, which individually could provide enough energy to power about 700 homes.

You should realize from the short term loans very beginning that the bad credit installment loans have short repayment period. They are more expensive than the traditional bank loans as well. Sure that if to pay payday loans no credit check money back in 1-2 weeks you aren't going to overpay a fortune. However, if not then you will have to inform your payday loan lender immediately in order to ask him to payday loans same day for unemployed rearrange a new repayment plan.


The minimum overall length of a boat is 7.2m, a measurement taken from the front of the bow ball to the furthest point on the hull. If a stabilising hull extension is used, the measurement will include the extension. If the boat is shorter than the minimum overall length, the Starter may exclude the boat from the race. This rule does not apply to boats used in Para-rowing events.
All "eights" boats must be able to be sectioned into parts no longer than 12.2m. This is to ensure all boats can fit into a standard forty-foot container for transportation. Regulations for oar thickness states sculls may not be more than 3mm thick and sweep oars not more than 5mm thick. Thickness is measured 3mm from the outer edge for sweep oars and 2mm for sculls.
From 1st January 2015, new regulations for flotation will be in place for all boats. When boats are tested, they will be filled with water to that of the average weight of its crew; it should remain floating, with the top of the seat a maximum of 5cm below the static waterline. Penalties will be put in place for boats not being able to pass this regulation.
The bows of all boats should be fitted with a solid ball shape with a minimum diameter of 4cm that is firmly affixed to the bow of the boat. They must be able to withstand a significant amount of force without falling off. The ball provides protection to the tip of the bow and allows the finish line judge a better gauge of the point the boat crosses the finish line.
All boats must be fitted with quick release foot stretchers, shoes, or other devices to enable rowers to clear the boat quickly in the event of a collision or other incidents. All boats must have a production plaque or something similar permanently affixed to the inside of the boat, with an area of at least 50 square cm illustrating the name and address of the boat builder, a mark or logo, the year the boat was constructed, the weight the boat was designed for, the weight of the boat on completion and whether the boat meets specified flotation requirements.
All boats used in races need to meet the minimum weight requirements, as any boat under the minimum weight will be excluded from races. Boats found to have raced while being under the weight requirement will be relegated to last place regardless of its placing at the end of the race. If the boat makes the same offence in a later race, it will be excluded.


Your sofa is the centerpiece of your living area and making sure it smells fresh can change the feeling of the room and ensure that your guests are comfortable when they visit. The problem is having your sofa professionally cleaned is not always feasible so finding ways to freshen your sofa can save you time and money. If your sofa needs some freshening up, try the three tips listed below.
Baking soda was created to draw odors away and is perfect to use on upholstered items where you will need to draw out the smell from deep inside fabric. To start, you will need to thoroughly vacuum your sofa to remove all of the hair, debris, and pet dander that has found its home in the fabric and cushions. Once completed, sprinkle some baking soda liberally on the cushions and base of the sofa. Let sit for 20 minutes or overnight for major odors. Finally, re-vacuum the area to remove any leftover baking soda.
You can also try using a white vinegar solution to remove odors from your sofa and cushions and leave them with a fresh scent. Vinegar can be strong when applied, but when it dries, it will be completely odorless. Start by thoroughly vacuuming the area to remove contaminants that may add to the odor. Next using a spray bottle with white vinegar, spray a fine mist over all of the fabric on the base and the cushions. Let the solution air dry. The initial odor of the vinegar might start off strong, so you can open some window to mitigate the smell while it is drying.
For deeper odors or sofas that have stains, you can use your home steam cleaner to pull out odors or stains that may be causing odors. Make sure to choose a cleaner that is recommended for the fabric on your sofa. After vacuuming the service use the cleaner upholstery attachments to apply the cleaning solution and steam clean the cushion and fabrics. Allow the surface to completely dry before using.
Don't let the odor on your sofa prevent you from allowing guests in your living room. Refresh your fabric and get your sofa smelling great again by trying the three tips listed above.

Rep. Johnson: Congress Must Pass Special Counsel Integrity Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On March 22 Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) joined his House Judiciary Democratic colleagues, led by Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), at a joint press conference to discuss the obstruction of the Special Counsel's investigation with potential moves by President Trump against Attorney General Sessions, DAG Rosenstein, and/or Special Counsel Mueller himself. The Members raised concerns related to President Trump threatening the rule of law, the potential for a constitutional crisis, and Republicans' failure to take action protecting the Special Counsel with provisions excluded from the FY18 Omnibus.
Below are Rep. Johnson's remarks:
"Our country was founded upon the hallowed principles of liberty and justice.
"Liberty and justice are like twins — you can't have one without the other. A threat to justice is a threat to our liberty. An attack on justice is an attack on our freedom.
"The events of last weekend were an attack on justice. After being subjected to great public pressure from President Trump, and despite having recused himself from the Trump investigation, Attorney General Jeff Sessions succumbed to the pressure and in a late Friday night whacking they fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Coupled with the President's increasingly frantic Twitter attacks on Special Counsel Mueller and his investigation, it is becoming increasingly apparent that President Trump is desperate and is getting close to taking action that would plunge this nation into a constitutional crisis.
"The President appears to be ready to follow through on his redline threat to move against the investigation if it turns to his personal finances. That line was certainly crossed with last week's disclosure that the Special Counsel has subpoenaed the Trump organization's records. If the president follows through on what many fear is the eventual firing of Attorney General Sessions and replacing him with someone who would be willing to follow orders and fire Bob Mueller or restrict the scope of the ongoing investigation — such action would most certainly be a clear and unambiguous move to obstruct justice.
"Senator Graham said it best: America is a rule-of-law country. If, and when, the president fires Sessions, it will be clear that justice and the rule of law will be under attack. It will then be time for all good men and women of this country, including my friends and fellow patriots on the other side of the aisle, to stand with House Judiciary Committee Democrats to protect liberty and justice and freedom. Any attempts by President Trump to fire Mueller or impede his investigation is our redline, and we will not let him cross it without an appropriate response. Meanwhile, Congress must act to protect the special counsel by passing H.R. 4669, The Special Counsel Integrity Act."

365 F. 2d 284 - Peoples v. United States
365 F2d 284 Peoples v. United States
Benny PEOPLES, Appellant,
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
Aug. 12, 1966.
Benny Peoples, pro se.
John W. Raley, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty. (B. Andrew Potter, U.S. Atty., on the brief), for appellee.
Before PHILLIPS, PICKETT and SETH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Peoples was convicted by a jury on December 14, 1962, of violating 18 U.S.C.A. 2113(a) by unlawfully entering a bank with intent to commit a felony. He was sentenced to the custody of the Attorney General for a period of 20 years. Thereafter, he filed a motion to vacate judgment and sentence, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. 2255. He has appealed from an order denying such motion.
As grounds for relief, People alleges that certain instructions to the jury were erroneous and prejudicial; that he was forced to incriminate himself by being required to stand for recognition and identification by a government witness during the trial; that his privately retained attorney failed to demand a disclosure of an informant and failed to prosecute timely his direct appeal; that a Deputy United States Marshal made certain prejudicial statements in the presence of the jurors; and that issues of fact were erroneously decided.
Section 2255 may not be used as a substitute for a direct appeal. 'It is only where the judgment was rendered without jurisdiction, the sentence imposed was not authorized by law, or there was such a denial or infringement of the constitutional rights of the prisoner as to render the judgment vulnerable to collateral attack, that a motion to vacate will lie under 2255'.1
Requiring a defendant to stand in court for purposes of identification is not a violation of the Fifth Amendment.2
The record does not tend to show in anywise that Peoples was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel. His privately retained counsel might well have believed that it would be poor trial tactics to demand a disclosure of the informant. Likewise, his counsel may have determined that an appeal would lack any merit and would be fruitless. At most, we have a case where a convicted defendant has concluded in retrospect that the representation he received from counsel of his own choice did not measure up to his (Peoples) standards of effectiveness. That is not enough to warrant relief under 2255.3
The other grounds were clearly no basis for relief under 2255.4

The construction of the Heart of Havasu park at the city hall/civic center complex has begun. Diablo Landscaping of Lake Havasu City began to place boulders, plants and trees yesterday.
The park is this year's Havasu Leadership Development Program class project. Upon completion in late May, the park will feature three heart-shaped surfaces with low-water plants, trees and shrubs along with landscape art and a sundial.
Funds are still being raised to assist with the project. The class is selling engraved bricks to line the hearts; drawing tickets to win an original painting by class member and local artist Pam Reinke; and Heart of Havasu Tee Shirts. Other sponsorship levels are also available to help with the installation of benches and other features in the park. All levels of sponsorship offer a great opportunity honor loved ones and friends.
Havasu Leadership Development is a program of the Lake Havasu Area Chamber of Commerce. Previous class projects include the construction of Yonder Park; Friendship Park at the WAHS Shelter; and the barbeque and picnic area at SARA Park ball fields.
For more information call the Chamber at 855-4115 or visit www.havasuchamber.com.

Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 - Import Preorder
«©NCSX» In Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan! which was released earlier this year, Sega sent gamers back to feudal times in Japan. An incarnation of the series' hero Kiryuu Kazuma worked as a hired gun who took assignments from any client willing to pay.
The adventures of the hard charging Kiryu Kazuma resume once again in modern times when Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 ships for the PS3 next year. Kiryu is once again steeped in the life of a Yakuza who operates in the seedy district of Kamurocho. Early preorders will ship with a bonus Kamutai Magazine in 50% ratio. Reservations are welcome to ship on February 26, 2008 at JPY7980 or US$79.90 from NCS.

Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 Rise Dragon Pack - Import Preorder

Shooting Love, 200X - Import Preorder
«©NCSX» You love shooters, right? We do too. Love 'em. Damn the RPGs, the FPS, and the puzzle games. Give us a shoe box filled with classics such Gradius, Salamander, Soukyugurentai, Radiant Silvergun, etc and we're set. Over the course of the past year, the Japanese Xbox 360 has become the go-to console of choice for home conversions of shooters. NCS isn't sure why the X360 has carved out this unique niche for itself but maybe Microsoft is subsidizing the ports to attract the shoot 'em up collective/hive/audience. Our numbers are legion. Sort of.
When early 2009 rolls around, Triangle Service will serve up two of its coin-op shooters for the X360 - Exzeal and Trizeal Remix. The company also throws in a "Shmups Skill Test" on the DVD which features short but sweet shooting exercises that will check the twitchy trigger fingers of shmup loving gamers. Preorders are welcome to ship on February 19, 2009 and the first printing of the game will include a bonus Insanity Capture DVD which shows expert players who are so skilled that they blow through Exzeal without losing a single ship. By observing their approaches to the shooting action, maybe you can mimic their moves.

Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid - Import Preorder
«©NCSX» Heroes from the SSM games are generally bound by gravity to the ground and can't gain much air when jumping. This dynamic changes in the upcoming Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid where warriors gain the ability to go aerial and perform outlandish attacks while aloft. Weapons may be upgraded with elemental-power through the use of gems to bolster a hero's attack.
Early preorders will ship with a bonus cell phone strap in a ratio to be determined by Koei. Preorders are welcome to ship on February 26, 2009 at JPY4800 or US$49.90 from NCS.

Miss Kitty and I spent an entire day with some amazing ladies this past weekend... we had a photo shoot, explored parts of Bremerton, discovered Saboteur Bakery, and had a grand time together!
Our silly attempt at a selfie.
I was pretty proud of my bang swoop that day.
I always knew Reggi had it out for me!
Another one my favorites! Rachel has a great smile!
I think this perfectly sums up our relationship!
A wonderful photo story of my moods.
Pictures at the ferry dock was a great way to end the day. We all looked so gorgeous in the grey Washington skyline. So if you're ever bored, just grab a few gals, a camera, some coffee, and go take silly photos! We had so much fun!

Q: Android emulator crashes on launch Hello everyone :) I decided to try out Android SDK with NetBeans. I installed SDK and packages, created ADV, installed plugin for NetBeans. I've writen small app, then launched it. At first it did not show up. I launched again and my antivirus asked for net access, which I kindly alowed. Then the device showed black screen and I closed the window, while my NetBeans window did not update at all (like the emulator was still running). Next runs were just popping new proccesses up in Task Manager and instantly getting out of there. Running the emulator straight from the SDK Manager just returned emulator-arm.exe not responding window. My verbose run gave this:

I am blaming the fact that I did not wait until my firs run showed ANDROID letters. So right now I don't know what to do... Reinstalling everything (my internet connection will take a LONG time to do that) or is there a better solution?
P.S. I tried removing and adding the virtual device
EDIT: Killing the adb.exe in Task Manager running from SYSTEM did not help.

A: I find Eclipse more convenient than Net Beans for android application development. If you can reconsider the option of using Development Tool than I would say Eclipse is a better option.

A: One of the first things you'll need to learn about Android dev is reading actually reading the logs and googling for the error. Have you tried the solutions provided in different forums when searching for
android emulator Failed to allocate memory: 1455

Anyway, you'll want to test your stuff on a real device sooner or later, save yourself a lot of frustration with the emulator and get a cheap android phone.
