Do Three Houses Characters Talk Less in Battle?
Hawkwing posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Since starting Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I've been noticing small details ranging from gameplay to presentation from the 3DS games at least that were either retained or absent in this one. Some of the exclusions were understandable, while others were less so. One of the things I observed was that characters in Three Houses tended to speak less in battle when compared to the 3DS games. I can think of a few reasons for why this may be the case, although I am curious if other's share a similar opinion and/or if I simply haven't encountered many situations where the units do speak up in battle. Now, in Shadows of Valentia may have the most chatty Fire Emblem cast that doesn't include written dialogue. They comment on enemies missing, failing to hit themselves, their allies doing well or needing healing, and there are a number of unique quotes between units that were close to each other, such as Forsyth and Python, Mae and Boey, Luthier and Delthea, and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if the increased battle quotes were a way of compensating for the lower quantity of support conversations in Echoes, as well as how not every character would be active in the story after a certain point. In contrast, characters in Three Houses speak up a lot more in both the story and in side conversations such as during exploration, support conversations, group activities, and so on. Players can still get an idea of what characters are like even if they are outside of their class. Because of this, perhaps the developers though that having units talk a lot in battle would be redundant or unnecessary, and/or that there was enough dialogue in this game and they didn't want to risk going over-budget with the voice acting (which may or may not have been a reason why the support conversations in Echoes were so short. There are several potential explanations for that). From a different angle, while the characters may not have commented upon the enemy or themselves missing an attack, Awakening and Fates did have the pair-up system.This allowed units to say something before the battle, when defending their ally or attacking in a dual strike, and characters had a different set of quotes if their partner defeated the enemy. Meanwhile, the adjutant system in Three Houses rarely activates and I'm not certain if there even is any unique quotes for when it does occur. It is small, but it does result in there being less potential things for units to say, which becomes more noticeable when making comparisons. With that said, I am still on my first playthrough of Three Houses, and while there are several things about the game I can say for certain that I like or don't like, I am largely taking a "wait-and-see" approach towards the game. I don't know all the ins and outs yet, so perhaps the characters in Three Houses do pipe up more often in battle that I initially thought, and I quite simply haven't encountered situations where they would often do so. Again, I'm curious about what other peoples have to say regarding the topic.

Any Idea for Fire Emblem: Three Houses Demake?
IkaMusumeYiyaRoxie posted a topic in Concepts
I've noticied in Know Your Meme, a fan made sprite was posted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses entry, Is Edelgard von Hsresvelg's GBA sprite in Full body. Is made by BuskHusker, just like the style of The Blazing Blade artist, because, Three Houses has another character designer, Is Kurahana Chinatsu, the person who designed the characters from Uta no Prince-sama, instead to the Awakening and Fates artist. And I found an another one from this latest installment, but in a Fake animated gameplay: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/76939541. Is Dimitri, and is made by sameduma from Pixiv. Well, I guess this rom hack is going to be planned, but Im not sure if this rom hack is going from The Sacred Stones or The Blazing Blade? I thinks The Sacred Stones ROM Hack it's a better Idea for me...... Meh.....

Cases of "Getting C**p Past the Radar" In Three Houses
vanguard333 posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Getting C**p Past the Radar, as it's referred to in TV Tropes (link below), refers to cases where a piece of media somehow manages to sneak in content that normally is way beyond that piece of media's rating and normally would be censored. Fire Emblem games usually have had one or two cases of this per game, though Awakening and Fates really ramped up the amount of stuff of this nature, despite Nintendo Treehouse normally coming down hard on stuff like that. What are some such moments in this game that you noticed? Was there a moment that may have made you laugh and think, "How did that not get censored?" To be clear, this isn't about whether or not you think it should've been censored; just something that you're surprised wasn't censored. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GettingCrapPastTheRadar Also, I'm not sure if I worded this well, or if the title I've given this thread is really the best title I could give it. Any suggestions?
Garreg Mach's Exchange Professors!
Purple Mage posted a topic in Written Works
Hello one and all, and welcome to the official thread for my semi-canon sequel to my hack OC Emblem, Garreg Mach's Exchange Professors! As the title gives away, it's set in the world of Three Houses, albeit with some OCs and surprises here and there. Have fun reading! Summary: Semi-canon sequel to my hack titled OC Emblem. Archbishop Rhea realizes that the Officers' Academy has an insufficient number of instructors, and therefore recruits four more from the continent of Ohsci. What trials and tribulations will this motley crew face? Find out in: Garreg Mach's Exchange Professors! Pairings: OC x OC, Byleth x ? This post will serve as the introductory post and shall not contain any story content whatsoever. The reason for this is that I do not want to encounter the "Can't edit OP" glitch again for a crucial piece of story. Anyway, have fun reading! Note: Keep in mind that Author's Notes are written in bold to distinguish them from the raw meat of the story. Thanks! Feedback thread can be found here:
How old is Byleth?
FigurativelyDeadBooty posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Just wondering how old Byleth is in everyone's eyes. While many people don't want to romance students because of the weird social power imbalance, some say the age gap would be weird, so while I think Byleth is in the early twenties, what does everyone else think?
Compiled Notes on a Collaborative Playthrough with a Friend
Azure, Roundabouted Out posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
So, I have a Christian friend with whom I recently started a playthrough with. We have had some pretty nice conversations and stuff, and I thought we could play some Three Houses as friends and as commentators. He is playing sort of blind (He has only seen F!Blyeth's B support with Cyril and the beginning of chapter 8 and it's story details), and I am the farthest from blind about this game, sort of. I am playing on Hard Classic. I am taking care of gameplay, and he is taking care of the avatar's decisions. Notable happenings on session 1 of gameplay (Less than an hour) in spoiler below, for space: Overall, he has liked his experiences so far, as he said that this is a pretty complex game.
New Game + Guide
mgunawan posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
So there has been little definitive discussion regarding the mechanics of New Game +, specifically what carries over and what's newly available. Wanted to create this quick reference to pitch in what I've discovered so far and help shed some light where possible.Changes:Saint Statues: Right off the bat, the primary difference between a regular playthrough and an NG+ run is that the bonuses you have previously unlocked from upgrading statues are permanent and will carry over. They do not have to be re-purchased using renown, as it has been established that it is not possible to fully upgrade all four in a single playthrough. These upgrades will remain permanent for every subsequent playthrough, and will never have to be re-purchased so long as you are playing on the same File chain. The total amount of Renown required to fully upgrade all 4 statues is 40,000 Renown (10,000 each)The Ability to Purchase Previous Supports: You will have the option of purchasing Supports that you unlocked with characters in previous playthroughs as long as said characters are available to interact with. They are not unlocked by default once purchase, meaning they will need to be re-purchased in every subsequent run. As an example, my Blyeth attained an S-Support with Dorothea on my first run, thus it was possible to immediately purchase Supports from C-S for Dorothea on the first New Game + using Renown. On a second playthrough, if your Blyeth S-Supports a different character, say Edelgard, then on every future NG+ playthrough, both Dorothea and Edelgard will have their C-S Supports immediately available for purchase. The exchange rate for one level of Support is 400 Renown for every level, so one full S-Support is a total of 1600 Renown.The Ability to Immediately Upgrade Professor Level: It takes a total of 4500 Renown to fully upgrade to A+, which will allow Blyeth an immediate 10 Activity Points on each Explore day. It is NOT recommended that you fully upgrade right from the beginning, as doing so will prevent Blyeth from earning Renown from activities that would normally raise their Professor level, such as eating meals.The Ability to Purchase Skill Levels, Combat Arts, and Abilities: These need to have been previously unlocked on a specific character from a previous playthrough in order to be available for purchase, i.e., if a Felix from a previous playthrough attained an A+ Skill Level for Sword (regardless of which of the four routes you recruited him) you will have the option of immediately purchasing an A+ Skill Level as soon as you have Felix in your roster, much like Support. As with Supports, all previously unlocked Skill Levels, Combat Arts, and Abilities on ALL runs will be available on subsequent playthroughs, but the unlock will still be specific to the character (i.e. unlocking a skill for one character on a previous playthrough does not make that skill available for Renown purchase on another in NG+)All Previously Hired Battalions Remain in Inventory: Battalions that you acquired in previous runs will be immediately available in your inventory from the start of NG+. By extension, all battalions you had in your first and second playthrough will be available in your third, and so on. These are availble from the start, and do not need to be re-purchased.Shop Items: All unlocked Shop Items from your first playthrough will be immediately available on every NG+ run. This includes items that are typically stocked in limited quantity, which will still retain their monthly limit. Prices do not change for items, and specific shops (such as the Battalion Shop, Eastern/Western Market, etc.) must still be unlocked with their specific conditions (certain day, completing the relevant quest, etc.)Crests: Upon completion of your first playthrough, several Crest Items will be immediately available in the convoy for use. These have various in-battle abilities for you to use on subsequent runs as long as your character has it in their inventory. The specific crests allocated vary depending on choices made during your previous playthrough, although it is currently uncertain what specifically determines the Crests you are given.Appearance: You will be able to switch each character's outfit from their Student Outfit to Post-Timeskip Outfit. The three main lords also have an additional option of changing their hairstyle, should you so desire.Acquiring Renown:The amounts of Renown rewarded for typical activities are as follows:Quests on Exploration Days in the Monastery: 200-500 depending on questCompleting Battles/Quest Battles if Battle option was selected on Sunday: 100 per Battle if Blyeth is MVP (this does NOT include battles on normal mode that do not require Battle Points and can be infinitely farmed)Completing Monthly Missions: 100 per Mission only if Blyeth is MVPThat's all for now; will update as more is discovered along the way.

spoilers The Nabateans and their transformations
GriffinKnight posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
So a Thought came to me as I was playing Three Houses. Rhea's Transformation is that of a Dragon, and it appears that the other Nabateans (Macuil and Indech) have transformations too (or at least bestial forms), but only Rhea seems to be a tried and true Dragon. While Macuil and Indech seem to be some other creatures ( a Bird/thing and a Tortoise/thing, respectively). So I guess what I am wondering, is are all Nabateans Dragons, or do they have their own individual forms, like Macuil and Indech? I suppose if you wanted to go there you can say that Indech and Macuil's forms seem to be hybrids with dragon-esque features, but it seems odd to not have them be a little more uniform if they were all Dragons. Also, what would Cethleann transform into? Cichol? For Cethleann, I imagine a Sea Serpent of some kind, mostly because of her unending love of fish, and for Cichol... I have no idea. I am curious to know if this little Idea has popped up through anyone elses head while playing Three Houses.

What's next for FE?
Book Bro posted a topic in General Fire Emblem
I've been wondering for a while what's next for FE and also what the fanbase is hoping for. We've got 3H DLC coming for a while still, but I have to imagine IS are already working on plans for the next entry. And with FE growing bigger than ever with each new entry since Awakening, there's quite a lot of possibilities imo. I think it's generally assumed they're working on an FE4 remake, but the director of SoV did state he wanted to do FE6 next, so it isn't a sure thing. There's also the possibility of a new Warriors game or another spinoff, remasters, and classic games being added to the Japanese Nintendo Switch Online app. That's without even considering a new game or follow up to 3H. So what would everyone prefer to see next? For the first question, try limiting yourself to your top 3 most wanted choices. Also, if discussing possible follow ups to Three Houses, please spoiler tag anything that reveals details about the story. I personally do want to see an FE4 remake next, as I feel it could build on the engine they've got for 3H and as it was sort of an inspiration for the story this time, it makes sense to remake it now. I'd also love a Tellius remaster double pack, as it's my favourite FE world. And finally, I'd love some sort of follow up to Three Houses, as I think Fódlan has a lot of potential still and we haven't really had a direct sequel/prequel in a while. Thoughts?
Questions about maddening and teasing some cool code
Sir_Jamsession posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Teasing some code I've been working on but could someone take a look at this for me and give some feedback. I've built a stat generator in python that uses the following as input (using a fan favorite for example): Char Lysithea Class Start End Noble 1 4 Monk 5 9 Mage 10 19 Warlock 20 29 Gremory 30 45 And gives you the chart below. It factors in class change, class base stats, character and class growths. All the goodness. Obviously this doesn't reflect the items you might use (might add that later?) There are still some bugs to work out. But I'm getting there. A few questions: What level do people generally end game at in maddening? Do people generally make the min level targets for class change there? Beginner at 5 Intermediate at 10 Advanced at 20 Master at 30 Is making a tool like this available for public use something people are interested in?

three houses Three houses and the lack of limitations
Kain the mediocre knight posted a topic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
I had finished playing my first route. I had loved the game, but I wouldn't have called it my favorite fe game. Afterwards I decided to play a different route. This time I liked the fame significantly less. In fact I got really sick of playing it. I decided to drop that playthrough, and replay my first route. I still didn't like the game, and I was only getting more sick of playing it. I put the game away, and decided to play other fire emblem's. While playing them I was wondering why I liked my first route, but hated my second and third. I came to a conclusion and would like to flesh out the biggest problem I have with three houses. That problem is the lack of limitations.that is to say. The only time I liked playing three houses is when I artificially limited my resources. From banning fliers, banning turn wheel, and never doing paralogue's or auxiliary battles. Fire emblem, as a strategy game, gives itself well to limitations and how you solve puzzles. Either trying to work around those limitations, or embracing them, these games don't only have just one answer; these games have multiple answers that all are valid strategies to get through special situations. From deciding to buy that silver sword to having a unit die. The situation your in is special, because the money you spend and experience given is all limited. In fire emblem three house your choices don't matter. It doesn't matter if Sylvain died; Just turn back that clock till you pull through. If you bought too many stat boosters, weapons, repaired some items, bought some seeds, etc. You can just play some auxiliary battles to get some money back. You're given the freedom to make everyone the best class in the game, and no amount of money is stopping you from getting the best weapons or battalions. There's only ever one right way to beat any chapter. I get that they try to limit such things sone what, but giving you the ability to hit the battle icon twice a month, and the fact you can do up to 3 maps in the later games, means you never have to go without experience or money. Advanced seals may cost quite a bit of money, but you have so much money anyway. Another resource that is given to you too much are forging stones. Of course special forging stones are harder to get, but normal forging stones in particular are practically just handed to you. Group tasks are a good example of this. They give you proficiency in certain skills, they don't take any resources to use, and they give you forging stones. You get given, and have too many, of these valuable resources. So much that I question why things like regular forging stones exist instead of allowing you to just forge with money alone. I do think I would enjoy three houses more if they were restricted, but I do not require them to, nor do I expect them. I would be fine if they went into the next game with that in mind. Finally, the turn wheel. I have my idea as how to fix it, and I would like to hear your thoughts on it. Each use of the turn wheel allows for you to go anywhere on the time line, even back to the beginning of the map. I've seen two good reasons for its existence. 1. It means those who don't ironman never have to restart an entire map. 2. It gives a safety net for new players. It does indeed allow for corrections of mistakes without replaying the entire map, but it's not the best system to put in place. I would impose a limited resource. One that saves your game in the middle of a chapter, that can't be repaired, and incentives you not to use it. I would propose for this item to be the main characters sword. It is a good weapon, it saves the game, it has about 15-20 durability, and can't be repaired. In my mind this gives an incentive to new and old players to take their chances. It also acts as a safety net if they ever needed it. This gives you an option as to what you want to do. Do you want to save your game, or take your chances and use the weapon to kill bosses.

A Completely Blind LP of "Fire Emblem - Three Houses" (normal / ironman)
Rosalina posted a topic in Let's Play/Streams
Despite skepticism I grabbed this Fire Emblem Three Houses after all. This will become a blind run. Blind means blind. I have like zero preknowledge about this game. I know the Three Houses and who their leader is, but this is basically it. I never ever visited the Three Houses section because I did not expect to purchase this game. But since people praised it without spoilering any story and gameplay details and compared it to games I really like, I give this game a chance. Since as said before that I have no knowledge about the Houses and characters, you can decide which House I shall support and whom to marry - if pairing exists what I am assuming it does. I also warn in advance that I am out of practice regarding Fire Emblem, so you might see the one or other move by myself. Since I am bad and out of practice in Fire Emblem I think it is a fair compromise. Also to make this run a bit challenging at least, fallen units will stay dead. I will not reset for any death unless it is connected with a Game Over. So be prepared for a massacre and low-units-run. Nah, I will do my best to not let it happen (all that often). Introduction cutscene A big fight between at least two armies is going on with these guys as their leader: Man attacks the woman....... and this is how it ends: Probably not only for the started fight by him, but we will see later hopefully. Anyways it starts really dark and violent, so (hopefully) a darker FE game? ........ This girl is shown up (looks like a manakete). It looked like to me as if she dreamed the cutscene. Anyways She talks to me (the avatar) and then the avatar selection is coming up. It is up to vote for their gender, this will be continued in the next part.

ProShip Delivers Hazmat Compliance and SAP Integration for PerkinElmer
We were able to implement a major quality improvement when we went to SAP and ProShip."
PerkinElmer® produces and ships reagents used in life sciences research and diagnostics, more than half of which are radioactive. Sending 500 packages each day from Boston, about 100 from Billerica, Massachusetts, and several hundred from Groningen in the Netherlands, PerkinElmer has to assure on-time arrival. Radioactive reagents have halflives of days, or even hours. Delays or mis-deliveries could cause a disastrous chain reaction — research interrupted, treatments cancelled, expensive resources wasted and costly shipping penalties incurred. Into this pressure cooker introduce one more element: a company-wide changeover to SAP. What solution would integrate seamlessly with SAP, and keep shipping from suffering a meltdown?
Interfacing with SAP was only one of the requirements for the new shipping system at PerkinElmer. It also had to be compliant with FedEx and TNT, the company's shippers for domestic and overseas parcels, respectively. Further, the shipping software had to automate the complicated paperwork of hazardous and radioactive materials, which specifies that the packing slip, the shipping label, plus a dangerous goods form must all be present with the correct box. "It's paramount that it works well," said Brian McDonough, Operations Manager at PerkinElmer. "We can't not ship for a day or two and catch up; we can't afford a bug or interruption."

One Direction stormed Central Park in New York City this morning (Aug. 4) for an open air concert. The boys sang their new song "Drag Me Down" before throngs of screaming fans as part of ABC's "Good Morning America" Summer Concert Series.
The singing group, now a quartet with the departure of Zayne Malik, also sang other hit songs, including "Story of My Life," one of their biggest singles to date.
Their latest song, however, is rocking the digital charts. The boys, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Thomlinson, surprised fans by releasing the track July 31 on the music streaming service Spotify and iTunes.
The song quickly became the most streamed tune on Spotify. The music site said it was streamed nearly 5 million times globally the day of its release. The previous record, 4.26 million streams, was held by Wiz Khalifa for his song, "See You Again."
"Drag Me Down" is the lead single off One Direction's upcoming fifth studio album. The boys have been putting on shows as part of their "On The Road Again Tour."

Thursday, 24 September 2020 / Published in Canada Immigration, Canada Immigration News Articles
Canada Rated Best Country In World For Welcoming Immigrants
A newly-released Gallup poll reveals Canada is the most welcoming country in the world – and far more tolerant than the United States – for immigrants.
On Wednesday, the polling giant released the results of its latest Migrant Acceptance Index.
It asked people living in 145 countries last year whether they thought immigrants living in their country, becoming their neighbors and marrying into their families were good or bad things.
Canada scored the highest score, 8.46, indicating Canadians are the most welcoming people in the world when it comes to immigration.
Most Accepting Countries for Migrants
Country Migrant Acceptance Index score
1 Canada 8.46
2 Iceland 8.41
3 New Zealand 8.32
4 Australia 8.28
5 Sierra Leone 8.14
6 United States 7.95
7 Burkina Faso 7.93
8 Sweden 7.92
9 Chad 7.91
10 = Ireland 7.88
10 = Rwanda 7.88
The United States came in sixth place with a score of 7.95.
"In Canada, residents almost universally saw migrants living in their country (94 per cent) and being in their neighborhoods (95 per cent) as good things, while more than nine in 10 (91 per cent) said a migrant marrying into their family would be a good thing," the Gallup poll's authors wrote.
Federal Government Reaffirms Commitment to Immigration in Throne Speech
Canada's July Immigration Numbers Drop 30% to 13,645
Americans also had a generally favorable view of immigrants but they were less effusive about that welcome.
"Nine in 10 … (Americans) …. said a migrant living in their neighborhood would be a good thing, and similar percentages said migrants living in their country (87 per cent) and marrying into their families (85 per cent) would be good things," wrote the poll's authors in their report.
This is the first time Canada has been the number one-ranked country on the MAI.
In the last such worldwide poll conducted in 2016 and 2017, Canada came in fourth place, behind Iceland, New Zealand and Rwanda.
Canada and its southern neighbor each have long histories as countries welcoming immigrants.
A bronze plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York features a quote from a decidedly pro-immigration poem, The New Colossus: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
In the past few years, though, the immigration policies of Canada and the United States have decidedly diverged.
Canadian Minister Justin Trudeau has further opened Canada's doors to immigrants. American President Donald Trump has tried to shut his country's doors, report the Gallup poll's authors.
"Until the pandemic forced Canada to slow immigration to a trickle, the country was poised to admit more than one million permanent residents between 2019 and 2021, with targets increasing every year," wrote the poll's authors. "In the U.S., the Trump administration is estimated to have cut legal immigration by almost half since taking office."
Those different approaches are reflected in the attitudes of those leaders' supporters.
In the United States, Trump supporters scored 7.1 on the MAI. Those who disapproved of Trump's job performance scored 8.59 on the index, even higher than the average score in Canada.
In Canada, supporters of the Liberal prime minister's job performance scored 8.73 on the MAI while those who disapproved of Trudeau scored 8.21.
In the United States, those who identified most with their city and country and where they lived scored more highly on the MAI, with an average score of 8.16, than those who identified most with their race or religion, who scored an average of 7.69.
Younger Americans were also more likely than their elders to accept immigrants. Among Americans between the ages of 15 and 29, the MAI score was 8.34. It measured nearly a full point lower among those Americans aged 65 and older, at 7.37.
Migrant Acceptance by Age in the U.S., Canada
Age U.S. MAI score Canadian MAI score
15-29 8.34 8.32
65+ 7.37 8.51
Those divides between young and old or those who identified more with their faith than with their city and country were not seen in Canada.
But in both Canada and the United States, the more highly-educated and urbane tended to be more accepting of immigrants and those with less education and those living in rural areas.

(CNN) -- The outrage came hard and fast after a 3-year-old girl badly scarred and wearing an eye patch because of a pit bull attack was apparently asked to leave a KFC restaurant because her appearance upset other customers.
"The entire KFC family is behind Victoria," company spokesman Rick Maynard said.
"She's got a lot of surgeries to go through and she won't even look in the mirror anymore," Mullins told WAPT. "When we go to a store, she doesn't even want to get out (of the car). She's 3 years old and she's embarrassed about what she looks like. She's embarrassed and I hate it because she shouldn't be. It ain't her fault."

Social & Economic Factors
Definition: Percent of youths in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 who reported that they were bullied at least once or twice a month at school during the school year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines bullying as any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of youths who are not siblings or current dating partners that involves an observed or perceived power imbalance, and is repeated multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. Bullying may inflict harm or distress on the targeted youth including physical, psychological, social, or educational harm.
In 2014, 19.6% of youth in Douglas County reported being bullied at school at least once or twice a month at school. The percent in Douglas County was lower than the State of Kansas.
Among youth in Douglas County and State of Kansas, 2014: Other than eighth grade, incidents of bullying were lower, by grade, in Douglas County than the State of Kansas.
Decrease the percent of students in grades 9 through12 who were bullied on school property to 17.9%.
Bullying can result in physical injury, social and emotional distress, and even death. Victimized youth are at increased risk for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties and poor school adjustment. Youth who bully others are at increased risk for substance use, academic problems and violence later in adolescence and adulthood.

Mudhoney Tourbook, 2018
1/18/19 Pappy & Harriet's. Pioneertown, CA (60 min)
Supporting: The Flesh Eaters
Set: Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Suck You Dry, Prosperity Gospel, Get into Yours, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, The Only Son of the Widow from Nain, 21st Century Pharisees
Notes: It's a fun set in a small club that's WAAAAAY out in the middle of nowhere. They've changed the arrangement of 'Hey Neanderfuck' slightly. Instead of Steve playing an outtro, now they all stop together. 'Kill Yourself Live' is going well, but then Mark loses his place in the vocals for the last verse, and it's total chaos. Do you play the verse until Mark gets back on track? Do you play the verse for the normal length, and then go into the chorus? No one knows. They laugh about it afterward, and move on.
1/19/19 The Echoplex. Los Angeles, CA (60 min)
Notes: This is - what's the opposite of a small club that's WAAAAAY out in the middle of nowhere? It's the same set as last night, and they're just as stoked to be playing with the Flesh Eaters as last night, particularly in the Flesh Eaters' hometown of L.A. The previous night, Dan tried to start off 'The Farther I Go,' when it's Steve's intro. So, tonight, Steve goes over to Dan before the song, says, "I'll start it tongiht," and they share a laugh.
2/8/19 The Independent. San Francisco, CA
Supported By: The Avengers
Set: Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., No One Has, Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Next Mass Extinction, Suck You Dry, Please Mr. Gunman, Get into Yours, Prosperity Gospel, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, The Only Son of the Widow from Nain, 21st Century Pharisees
Encore: Here Comes Sickness, In 'N' Out of Grace, Ensam I Natt, The Money will Roll..., Hate the Police
2/9/19 The Ritz. San Jose, CA
Set: Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., No One Has, Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Suck You Dry, Please Mr. Gunman, Get into Yours, Prosperity Gospel, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, The Only Son of the Widow from Nain, 21st Century Pharisees
Notes: 'Next Mass Extinction' was originally on the setlist after 'If I Think,' but was crossed off before the show began.
3/8/19 The Casbah. San Diego, CA
Supported By: Claw Hammer
Set: Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., No One Has, Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Prosperity Gospel, Suck You Dry, Please Mr. Gunman, Get into Yours, Next Mass Extinction, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, The Only Son of the Widow from Nain, 21st Century Pharisees
Encore: In 'N' Out of Grace, You Stupid Asshole, Hate the Police, Fix Me
3/9/19 The Glass House. Pomona, CA
Supporting: The Adolescents
Set: Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Suck You Dry, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, The Only Son of the Widow from Main, 21st Century Pharisees, You Stupid Asshole, Fix Me, Hate the Police
Notes: They had some technical problems and the show had an early curfew, so they called some audibles on the set. The stage right power (covering Mark and Guy's equipment) was out when they hit the stage, and that took a long time to get sorted out. To account for the lost time, they cut out 'Kill Yourself Live' (before 'Touch Me I'm Sick') and 'Prosperity Gospel' (before 'Suck You Dry'). Then, toward the end of the set, they find out that they've got some time to work with, so they add 'One Bad Actor' (after 'Paranoid Core') and close with 'Hate the Police.'
3/22/19 White Oak Music Hall (Upstairs). Houston, TX
Supported By: Cherubs
Encore: Here Comes Sickness, You Stupid Asshole, Hate the Police, Fix Me
Notes: The do a meet-and-greet and signing at 7pm at Cactus Music before this show.
3/23/19 Antone's. Austin, TX
Supported By: Cherubs, XETAS
Encore: Here Comes Sickness, Who You Drivin' Now?, You Stupid Asshole, Hate the Police, Fix Me
Notes: Dan says this show was super fun.
5/4/19 KEXP Gathering Space. Seattle, WA (60 min)
Supported By: Control Test, Dark Smith
Set: (Heard it from a Friend), Nerve Attack, I Like it Small, (Get into Yours), You Got it, Get into Yours, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Prosperity Gospel, Suck You Dry, Next Mass Extinction, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, 21st Century Pharisees
Notes: This show is a celebration of the 15th anniversary of KEXP radio's punk program, Sonic Reducer. The show is brodcast live on KEXP. Mudhoney is introduced by Sonic Reducer host Brian Foss who says, "We tried to get REO Speedwagon to play and they couldn't do it. So we thought, let's get Seattle's best influenced-by-REO-Speedwagon band, Mudhoney." Mudhoney then hits the stage and Mark sings the first two lines from REO Speedwagon's 'Heard it from a Friend.' Steve tries to start up 'Get into Yours' before its time, and finally Dan yells to look at the setlist. Well, that's a completely different type of distortion for that song, so Steve has to fiddle with his many distortion pedals for a bit before they can continue. Since the set is being broadcast on the radio, there's no cursing, and Mark has noted the three songs on the setlist where he was to drop some words ('Prosperity Gospel,' 'Next Mass Extinction,' and '21st Century Pharisees').
5/10/19 The Dacres. Walla Walla, WA
Supported By: The Derelicts
Encore: In 'N' Out of Grace, Chardonnay, Hate the Police, Fix Me
Notes: Walla Walla is in the heart of Washington's wine country, hence 'Chardonnay' for the first time in nearly three years (8/27/16).
5/11/19 The Lucky You Lounge. Spokane, WA
Encore: Here Comes Sickness, Hate the Police, Fix Me
5/22/19 "Chef Conf". The Paramount Theater. Seattle, WA (60 min)
Supporting: Deep Sea Diver
Supported By: Recipe for Disaster
Set: Nerve Attack, I Like it Small, You Got it, Get into Yours, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Prosperity Gospel, Suck You Dry, Next Mass Extinction, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, 21st Century Pharisees
Notes: This show is part of a conference. The founders of Chef are Mudhoney fans, leading to the band playing this gig. A couple of the guys need to catch early morning flights, leading them to "headline" while playing in the middle of the bill. It's not your usual setup for the Paramount - the seaats are down and it's a flat floor, and then there's a bar and a couple of fancy catered foot stations set up. Then, the whole balcony is closed off. They play a set like they would at any gig (in fact, the same set as 5/4/19 a few weeks before). After 'Paranoid Core,' Mark makes a reference to the 'hoarding food' line in the song, and calls out to an audience member, "Speaking of hoarding food, is that your sixth trip to the buffet? ... I kid, I kid."
5/24/19 Green Bay Distillery. Green Bay, WI
Supported By: Boris the Spider, The Hussy
Notes: They cut the encore shorter than normal because they're up against a curfew.
5/25/19 Fine Line Music Cafe. Minneapolis, MN
Supported By: METZ, The Black-Eyed Snakes
Encore: Who You Drivin' Now?, Here Comes Sickness, You Stupid Asshole, The Money will Roll..., Hate the Police, Fix Me
5/26/19 Lincoln Hall. Chicago, IL
Supported By: METZ
Set: Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Judgment Rage..., No One Has, Kill Yourself Live, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Prosperity Gospel, Suck You Dry, Get into Yours, Next Mass Extinction, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, The Only Son of the Widow from Nain, 21st Century Pharisees
Encore: Here Comes Sickness, In 'N' Out of Grace, You Stupid Asshole, The Money will Roll..., Hate the Police, Fix Me
Notes: Steve's amp craps out during 'Kill Yourself Live' and it takes a while to swap in a new amp and get him up to speed. As a result, they cut 'Please Mr. Gunman' from the written setlist, which was slotted in after 'Suck You Dry.'
6/14/19 Elks Temple Spanish Ballroom. Tacoma, WA (100 min)
Supported By: The Fucking Eagles, The Drove
Set: In 'N' Out of Grace, Into the Drink, I Like it Small, Hey Neanderfuck, You Got it, Nerve Attack, The Farther I Go, Good Enough, Judgment Rage..., Kill Yourself Live, Sweet Young Thing, Touch Me I'm Sick, Mudride, Prosperity Gospel, Suck You Dry, Next Mass Extinction, F.D.K., Oh Yeah, Messiah's Lament, I'm Now, Paranoid Core, One Bad Actor, The Only Son of the Widow from Nain, 21st Century Pharisees
Encore: If I Think, Here Comes Sickness, You Stupid Asshole, Hate the Police, Fix Me
Notes: After about forty shows touring on Digital Garbage, they play 'Messiah's Lament' for the first time, the last song on the record they had yet to perform. They thought it'd be a little tricky since Dan wrote the guitar, and it came unnaturally to Steve. But they tried it at practice earlier in the week, and it came together easily. Power goes out on both guitar amps during the first song, 'In N Out of Grace.' They get it sorted out, huddle up on where to restart the song, and Mark brings everyone back in with an a capella, "Christ body and blood I crave." Another small hiccup to start 'I like it Small' where Mark needs to sing from the get go, but is back by his amps when Dan starts counting in: "I was nowhere near a mic." From then on, it's smooth sailing. At one point, Mark makes a joke about the opening band's name: "Hey fucking Tacoma, thanks for fucking coming out to see The fucking Drove, The Fucking Eagles, and fucking us." Steve mentions that he thinks they're just called The F'ing Eagles now, and Mark shrugs - not as good of a joke that way. The sold out Tacoma crowd is lively - livelier than your typical Seattle crowd, at least.
6/15/19 Wonder Ballroom. Portland, OR (90 min)
Supported By: Summer Cannibals, Dirty Princess
Encore: You Stupid Asshole, Hate the Police, Fix Me, The Money will Roll...
Notes: After one show since playing 'Messiah's Lament,' they play it again. Mark leads into it with an enthusiastic, "Hit it, Steve!" then quickly realizes that's too much energy for the song, then tones it way down with, "Steve, if you're ready, please hit it." From then on, Mark is introducing just about every song with, "Hit it, Steve!" and varying the energy and tone to match the song that they're about to start. They're coming up against a midnight curfew (The Wonder Ballroom is in a residential area), so they plan on a short encore - the first three songs they play. Then, they finish those and have a few minutes left, so they huddle up and add one back in - "The Money will Roll..." That makes for an atypical show closer, but that's what happens when you start audibling.

This page is not intended afrointroductions login in to be a guide to Afro African Women, but rather is intended to serve as a good introduction to Afro African women. It has been compiled for a number of reasons. First, because most of the people who are familiar with Afro African women have lived their lives in Africa for the majority of their lives. So this page is a great place to learn about them from someone who has seen their lives up close. However, because of this, a lot of the information is not entirely accurate or accurate to the true experiences of Afro African Women. Second, because the African community has a very strong racial bias when it comes to talking about their own African-American women. So, for example, there are so many misconceptions about African-American women that when discussing this type of woman, you will need to éloquante pay a little more attention to make sure your message is coming from someone who is a true believer. In addition to the misconception that African-American women are the worst of the worst in terms of sexual promiscuity and bad parenting skills, there are a whole lot of things that you need to be aware of in order to communicate that message. So, please be aware and be careful when you are dealing with any woman who is African-American. You don't want to accidentally offend the people in your own community. Also, because African-American women are usually the first African-American women to have ever gotten into the sexual spotlight, there is a lot of pressure on them to be alluring, to be beautiful and to have all kinds of sexual experiences. That is what edsy people want to hear when they hear a woman talk about having sex with a white man. But if that message badoo fr se connecter is getting mixed up with racial biases, the message gets distorted. A lot of women who are dating black guys are dating a lot of black guys, because the women are dating all the black guys. They don't date all the white guys because they don't know if the white guy would be into the black guy. If they have to be dating black guys, they don't want to date white guys. It becomes more of a race thing. And the fact that a black man would have sex with an afro guy is seen as a black man, not a gay man. You're a queer and you want to hook up with someone, you should be dating a straight girl.
The Afro is a symbol of femininity and is a sign of strength. That's why women from Africa, when you hear this word, they just think of Afro. But they don't think that way about straight men. There's a lot of stuff that's going on in Africa. And I have friends that are dating guys from Africa and they're not getting fucked. I think it's so hard to come back to your culture, your country, your country, and to be the woman that you are. So I think that you have to have the freedom to come to Africa. You want to get with African guys? Then you go to Africa and you meet Afro guys. It's really amazing because there's so 62kg in stones many girls there. And it's so easy for the www badoo co uk login girls to date. Afro guys will come over and they're like, "Yo, what are you doing here?" And they're like, "Oh, I just wanted to hang out and make a date." And they're just like, "Yeah, I want to meet you." And then they're like, "I'm Afro." And they have their own clothes, and they'll do it all by themselves and it's like, "Wow." And the girls will be like, "Really?" and they'll be like, "Yeah. You don't have to come with me." And they'll be like, "That's cool. I'm going to meet you on the street. Let's go." If you want to know what it's like, you can go to Africa and there are guys that free usa dating site will come up to you and talk to you. And then the girls will follow you out, and you have to go on a date and just hang out with them, and they're like, "Wow. That's cool. That's nice." And you're like, "Yeah, it's really cool." And then when you meet them in the night, they're like, "Whoa! Cool. Cool. You're my new boyfriend." And then you're like, "I've never heard of that before!" So you are a man, but this is a dream. This is where we all want to be, this is where we're always dreaming, and we've done this before. But what are the steps you've to do, to get there? And then if it isn't, I'm going to talk to you about why this is a big mistake. But we can do it. We can do it! We're doing it now.

Tiger shot dead after mauling Orang Asli man to death
Friday, 07 Jan 2022
11:37 PM MYT
GUA MUSANG: An Orang Asli man was mauled to death by a tiger in an incident at Kampung Sau near Pos Bihai here Friday morning (Jan 7).
Gua Musang district police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo said police received information on the incident at 1.30pm from the Kelantan Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan), he said, adding that the attack was later confirmed by the Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa).
A Perhilitan team that pursued the tiger some three hours later killed the animal after it tried to attack them.
Supt Sik said based on information received, at 9.10am, the victim, 59, had stepped out to the back of his house to urinate while his daughter was tending to some chores.
"His daughter suddenly realised her father was nowhere to be seen and after a search in the area, bloodstains were found on leaves nearby.
"The daughter then sought help from villagers, who after a search in the area, saw a tiger lingering near the victim's body," he said in a statement.
Supt Sik said the villagers then hurled spears at the tiger, one of which hit the beast before it fled the area.
A team from the Gua Musang police station arrived at the scene at 5.40pm to remove the body before sending it to the Gua Musang hospital.
Meanwhile, Kelantan Perhilitan director Mohamad Hafid Rohani, when contacted, said the male tiger weighing about 120kg was shot at about 12.15pm while the Perhilitan team was looking for it in a jungle near the scene of the incident.
He said the team was forced to shoot the animal after it began moving towards them.
"This decision (to open fire) is also in line with section 52 of the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 as the animal was a danger to human life," he said. - Bernama

Q: Getting wrong property for a Objective-C class from Swift 3.0 I had a piece of code that was working on Swift 2.X version, but, after update the code and syntax to Swift 3.0 it is working on a strange way.
I have the following structure wrote on Objective-C:
Class A:
@interface A : NSObject
{
    // some properties
}

Class Expense:
@interface Expense : A {
    @property (strong, nonatomic) NSString* Description;
}

On Swift 2.X I had the following code:
if let expense = DataManager.sharedDataManager().expenseForExpenseId(id) {
    var description = expense.Description
}

When I updated to Swift 3.0 the code was changed to:
if let expense = DataManager.shared().expense(forExpenseId: id) {
   // expense is a variable from the Expense class
   var description = expense.description
}

The problem that I am facing is that when I use expense.description I'm getting the value for the description (lowerCamelCase) property from the NSObject class (parent of parent class) instead of the value for the Description (UpperCamelCase) property from the Expense Class. I had to change the expenseType.Description to expenseType.description because of the new syntax on Swift 3.0
I have a workaround to fix it, create a get method on the Expense Class and call it from Swift 3.0:
@interface Expense : A {
    @property (strong, nonatomic) NSString* Description;
    -(NSString*) getDescription(){
        return Description;
    }
}

Is this a known problem? Do you know a better solution for this problem?

O dólar Geary-Khamis ou dólar internacional (Int'l. dollar ou Intl. dollar, abreviação: Int'l$., Intl$., Int$, G-K$ ou GK$) é uma unidade de conta (uma moeda fictícia), que tem o mesmo poder aquisitivo, em um dado país que o dólar americano nos Estados Unidos, em um determinado momento. O ano de 1990 serve frequentemente como base para comparações ao longo de vários anos. Ele foi inventado em 1958 por Roy C. Geary e desenvolvido em seguida por Salem Hanna Khamis entre 1970 e 1972. O dólar Geary-Khamis é comumente usado por organizações internacionais como as Nações Unidas (ONU), o Banco Mundial ou o Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI).

what is mitochondria and chloroplast ?
Mitochondria is a cellular organelle found in large numbers in all eukaryotic cells. It is the site of respiration (ATP synthesis) and contains its own DNA. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
Chloroplast is a plastid (a cellular organelle) that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. Chloroplasts are present in plants and some protists, converting solar energy to chemical energy in sugars. This plastid gives the green colour to leaves and stems.

Doc Backlash; Michael Jackson Ban Happening on Radio, Television and, Even, Museums.
March 8, 2019 Jordan Ruimy
A total freakout is happening over the unsubstantiated Michael Jackson sex-abuse doc "Leaving Neverland," including radio stations banning Jackson's songs, The Simpsons axing their MJ episode, and his statue being taken down at the British Museum.
Personally, I find it easy to separate the man from his music. How can you resist the Motown-era Jackson Five versions of "I Want You Back" and "ABC" or is fantastic, groundbreaking albums "Off the Wall" and "Thriller."
Listen, there have been countless racists and anti-Semites over the year in the arts; Virginia Woolf, Patricia Highsmith, T.S. Eliot, Flannery O'Connor, H.P. Lovecraft, Dr. Seuss, Walt Disney (!!!) There have also been misogynists and alleged wife-murderers: William S. Burroughs, Norman Mailer etc. Let us not forget that Phil Spector killed his wife and, yet, his immaculate wall-of-sound productions are still blasting, justifiably so, on the radio on hot summer days (is there a better sensory audio feeling than that?. Oh, let us not forget wife-beaters Charles Dickens, Pablo Picasso,Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and so on.
I'm still not saying that the accusers in the Jackson documentary, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, are not telling the truth when they allege that Jackson groomed and sexually abused them as children, but this is still a case up for debate, even with outrage culture pouncing on Jackson, even though he can't defend himself since he's been dead for more than a decade now; but there have been brilliant artists in past centuries whose art is still being celebrated.
However, there are defenders of the late artist; a GoFundMe page was set up to finance billboards on buses campaigning for MJ's innocence. The adverts had raised more than £14,000.

As the first cookbook published in the United States, Amelia Simmons' 1796 American Cookery was self-consciously an indigenous and patriotic text, although with a New England bias. Unlike all culinary observers before her, Simmons cataloged winter squash as a vegetable dish and pumpkin as a dessert—something special to celebrate as a pleasant reward. Simmons made pumpkin pie instead of squash pie because pumpkin meant more. But pumpkin pie was yet to become the special finale of the Thanksgiving meal, however. See recipes below.


Measurements of electron temperature fluctuations by means of correlation electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics aid in understanding the nature of the turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. On Tore Supra tokamak, a 32-channel heterodyne ECE radiometer has been upgraded to include two channels for temperature fluctuation measurements. The central frequency of the yttrium iron garnet filter on each channel is remotely monitored by a driver, allowing one to shift the observation volume in the plasma radially. To resolve the fluctuation amplitude of 0.1%, integration times of ~3 s at 1 MHz sampling rate are required for the statistical error level of 0.05%. Together with the 32-channel profile radiometer, correlation ECE is a powerful and unique tool for simultaneous observation of the magnetohydrodynamic phenomena and studies of the plasma transport properties in various heating regimes during long-shot multimegawatt operation. First measurements of temperature fluctuations, of various origins, on Tore Supra (including the observation of the toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes), as well as a description of the analysis methods used in the data evaluation, are reported in this paper.

Mercedes on point: Hamilton wins at China GP
It was a difficult weekend in Formula 1 with the rain playing havoc, especially with the new cars. These faster, wider cars had yet to been tested under true wet conditions, so it was unexplored territory for all the teams. But Mercedes was clearly up on the pace, with Lewis taking pole position in Shanghai, for the 6th time in his F1 career.
The first four on the starting grid were identical to Australia with Vettel next to Lewis, Bottas in third and Raikkonen starting fourth. Red Bull had once again had a poor qualifying weekend, but at least both its cars on the grid, with Daniel Ricciardo in fifth. Max Verstappen however, had a power problem in qualifying and couldn't get a second run in in time, so he qualified in 19th place. But due to some grid penalties for Giovinazzi, Grosjean and Palmer, Max started 16th on the grid.
While the track was mostly dry, the start-finish straight was still plenty wet, which is why everyone but Carlos Sainz in the Toro Rosso had decided to start on the intermediates. Sainz was on the super soft compound but it was a poor call, as was proved when the lights went green and he dropped from 7th on the grid to the end of the pack as he couldn't get any grip on the wet surface to get his car moving. While both the Mercedes' had a good start, both Ferraris seemed to struggle to get going, with Lewis pulling away clean, Vettel struggling but just managing to keep Bottas behind by pushing him to the outside line. Kimi lost a position right away to Daniel but stayed on his heels in 5th position. Meanwhile, the rest of the order was trying to get round the first lap without incident and struggling for grip. Unfortunately, Lance Stroll in the Williams had to retire on the first lap after a racing incident with Sergio Perez's Force India car. Stroll's incident brought out the Virtual Safety Car and forced many drivers to pit as they couldn't keep any temperature in the tires making it nigh impossible to find any grip. Another factor was the fact that most of the track was dry so many teams were considering switching from intermediates to the softs, but the race leaders made no moves yet.
There was one person who had a phenomenal start, and it was Max Verstappen. The young Dutchman had moved up from 16th to 7th before the Virtual Safety Car came out. The onboard footage showed his brilliance, driving cleanly and positioning his car perfectly at almost each turn to make his way through the pack, like a lesson in the basics of racing.
At the start of lap 3, Vettel came into the pits to switch to soft-compound tyres while Kimi and the Mercedes' stayed out on track, and he rejoined the race in 6th place. Meanwhile at the back, as Giovinazzi in the Sauber spun into the pit wall as was coming down the start-finish straight at the end of lap 3, which instantly brought out the safety car. Since the broken Sauber and the debris was on the main straight, all the cars were led by the safety car through the pit lane and it was during these laps that the top 5 drivers too made their tyre changes. Lewis, Bottas and Kimi getting switching to the soft compound tyres, while both the Red Bulls switched to the super-soft compound. On lap 7, still under the safety car, Valterri Bottas' day got incredibly worse. With everyone struggling to keep the tyres warm to find grip, Bottas was heating up his set when he spun out. Twice. He managed to recover from it but had dropped down to 12th and it wasn't until the next lap that the safety car pitted and the race resumed.
The rest of the race was without serious incident and Lewis was comfortably in control and leading the race still. Behind him, there was plenty of action at the restart with Raikkonen struggling with some power issues in the Ferrari. He was overtaken by Verstappen who found amazing grip down the inside line and moved into 3rd. Another two laps down, he pulled off another smooth overtake to get past teammate Ricciardo. Vettel meanwhile was in fifth chasing down the leaders eager to catch Lewis who was starting to build on his gap in the lead. Notably, Carlos Sainz had made his way back up to 6th and Bottas was down in 10th by lap 11. I doubt anyone could have expected the order to get shuffled as much as it did in this 2017 Chinese F1 grand prix.
In the following laps, Lewis was steadily building his lead over Max Verstappen, driving smooth in the clean air and looking after his tyres. The battle for third was heating up between Ricciardo in the Red Bull and the Ferraris of Raikkonen and Vettel. It was in these laps that Ferrari was pretty much put out of the contention for victory. The Red Bulls may have more pace but they'd need to pit before the Ferraris. Raikkonen had managed to resolve the power issue somewhat, but was unable to get past Daniel, holding back Vettel in the process and this wasn't good news for his tyres either.
It wasn't before lap 20 that Vettel got the inside line on turn 6 to overtake Kimi and set off after Daniel. And sure enough, come lap 22, Vettel made a brilliant move on the same turn, this time going down the outside and banging wheels with Ricciardo as they transitioned into turn 7, but the German was through into 3rd position and gunning for Hamilton's Mercedes. Meanwhile, Bottas had moved up to 7th.
By lap 29, Vettel was right behind Verstappen who was starting to struggle for grip on his super-soft tyres. Max locked up under heavy braking and lost a bit of grip on the astroturf giving Vettel a free pass to move up to 2nd position. But by now, Lewis had a comfortable lead of over 10 seconds. The following lap, Max came into the pits to put on a fresh set of super-soft tyres to last the remainder of the race and came back on track in 6th, behind Valtteri Bottas whom he passed easily, two laps on. Lap 34 saw Ricciardo come in for his final set of tyres and also some brilliant action down the order. Carlos Sainz, having lost places again after his pit stops, was trying to get past Alonso's off-pace McLaren. After a quick exchange of positions in and out of the corners, Sainz came out ahead, an exchange that brought on loud cheers from the audience. Sadly for Alonso, that was the last of his race as he had to retire later that lap, due to a broken driveshaft on his dismally unreliable McLaren-Honda F1 car.
Originally, the race engineers of Mercedes and Ferrari had planned to take the soft-compound tyres till the end of the race, but both teams' drivers were giving clear feedback: not gonna happen. But the question was, who was going to pit first? Would Ferrari be able to pull off another piece of strategic brilliance like in Melbourne to get Vettel out in front or was Lewis already too far ahead? The answer came soon enough as Vettel came in for his last stop on lap 35 while Lewis stayed out on track with Kimi far behind, in second. The only luck for Vettel was to come back on to the track ahead of Max. In fact, Lewis was so far ahead of Kimi, that when he did come in for his last pit stop of the race on lap 37, he rejoined the race still in the lead. A comfortable lead in fact, ahead of the angry Finn who was struggling for grip on those worn out tyres. At this point, it was quite clear that even if Vettel came chasing in max attack mode, Lewis had the pace to finish in first before having to deal with any real challenge from the Ferrari.
Kimi finally came into the pits on Lap 40 for fresh tires, allowing Vettel and the Red Bulls to go ahead. He came out behind Sainz but ahead of Bottas, and it didn't take him long to get past the Toro Rosso and into 5th. Vettel meanwhile had the hammer down and was closing the gap on Lewis, bringing it down from 14 seconds to eight seconds in just a few laps. Lewis responded by setting the fastest lap of the race and made it clear that he was headed to victory and that Vettel would have to settle for second. Behind them, Max was being caught up by Daniel and battling for the final podium spot.
First and second may have been settled a few laps before the end of the race, but had there been even one more lap to go, the battle for third would have been epic. But it was Max who crossed the chequered flag in third, followed closely by Ricciardo, Raikkonen and Bottas, all within 3 seconds of the Dutchman. A brilliant performance by Max Verstappen then, getting himself and Red Bull their first podium of the 2017 season.
Down the order, Carlos Sainz finished 7th, a good result for Toro Rosso, but it would have been better if Kvyat hadn't have had to retire due to a mechanical fault. Haas too had a good result with Kevin Magnussen finishing 8th. The last two point scoring positions were secured by Force India, with Perez in 9th and Ocon in 10th. Romain Grosjean brought home his Haas F1 car in 11th position, ahead of the Renault team, Hulkenberg in 12th and Palmer in 13th. Massa, despite his excellent qualifying and starting in 6th, but finished in 14th and the last finisher in 15th was Marcus Ericson in his Sauber. Of the five retirements, two were due to incidents, Stroll and Giovinazzi, the rest due to technical faults. McLaren-Honda was unable to get either of its cars to the finish.
Going into the third race next weekend in Bahrain, Vettel and Hamilton are tied for points at the top of the table with Verstappen in third. The new cars looked promising on the Shanghai circuit, offering much more overtaking excitement than Melbourne, and the fastest racing lap was nearly 4.5 seconds faster than last year. 2017 is building up to be a promising year of competitive racing between Mercedes and Ferrari, between a Brit and a German. Again. I wonder what Niki Lauda is thinking of right now…

BY LAWYER YVONNE PEARS PROVES THAT THE UK, LEFT THE EU
ON THE 29TH OF MARCH 2019
the UK, EU Elections,
are operating
under Sharia Law,
12] the UK left the EU by Default on the
29th of March 2019,
13] there is NO UK Law, that allows the UK,
to enter into EU elections,
after we have already LEFT the EU,
14] Theresa May has superseded her power,
by the enforcement of Sharia Law,
in order to push the UK into the EU elections,
this means to further the cause,
that Laws can be OMITTED,
of which is called Darura, the laws of Islam,
15] the UK Government,
have been secretly enforcing Sharia Law, against innocent people,
for several years,
where people,s Inalienable Rights,
to the Due Process of Law,,
and their Rights to their Defence,
had been unlawfully denied,
16] Theresa May,s agreed extension,
of Article 50, with the EU,
does not comply with UK Law,
as it OMITTED the Due Process of Law,
this means that it is null and void,
see proof below
that the UK left the EU on 29th March 2019,
1]
Article 50, proves that we left the EU, by default
on the 29th of March 2019,
because the UK had not agreed a deal,
with the EU, and
Theresa May had not complied with UK law,
and due process, in order to agree,
any such extension with the EU,
the EU Withdrawal Agreement for Member States, clearly evidences that,
[9] a member state that intends to withdraw is not dependent on any agreement/deal being reached,
[ it would occur after 2-years regardless ]
2] Theresa May, had unlawfully
overruled the UK, in order to agree her extension of article 50,
until the 12th of April with the EU,
3] the EU cannot lawfully agree an extension, unless it is in compliance with the
Drafted Deal they had already signed,
with Theresa May,
yet, Theresa May,s Deal, is unlawful, and discriminatory against the UK,
of which has been voted down 3-times,
4] it has not been made it known to the brexiteers, that the EU can only lawfully agree an extension of article 50
based on the agreement for her Deal,
being passed, and voted upon,
of which cannot be re-opened, changed,
or altered, in any way,
