Silk Road 2.0 opens on TOR network
2:29 AM 2013
by Rizza Sta. Ana 
In a report by tech website TechCrunch, Silk Road had quietly relaunched on the The Onion Router (TOR) network. TOR is a free software that allows anonymity of websites online. The online hidden marketplace opened around 4PM GMT Tuesday on silkroad6ownowfk.onion.
Previous users would find the features similar to the previous Silk Road marketplace. TechCrunch said former Silk Road administrators owned the new site and vouched the ownership of the forums, market, and escrow system of the new Silk Road.
The original Silk Road was shut down by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges that the online marketplace propagated illegal activities like selling narcotics and promoting gun-for-hire services. 70% of the site's 10,000 products for sale were drugs that included heroin, cannabis and LSD. The complaint of the US Attorney of Southern District of New York said that a total of USD1.2 billion in revenue and USD79.8 million in commissions were earned from 1,229,465 completed transactions on Silk Road.

Montmelò – Today was the first day of the final four-day test session at the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit, prior to the start of the 2019 Formula 1 season. Charles Leclerc was at the wheel of Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow's SF90 in the morning and Sebastian Vettel drove in the afternoon. Between them, they completed 110 laps.
Checks required. Leclerc spent less time on track than planned, because some checks were required on the SF90's cooling system. The Monegasque driver did 29 laps, working on set-up and tyre evaluation, before it was time to hand over to his team-mate.
Track conditions different. Charles' best time was a 1'18"651 and had this to say at the end of his time in the car. "This morning we did fewer laps than planned, but I'm sure we can make up for lost work in the coming days. Track conditions were slightly different today compared to the first test, so it took a moment to adapt to them".
Seb in. Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel shortly after 2pm and continued working on the car in different configurations and simulating various race scenarios, including some long runs. The German did a total of 81 laps, with a best time of 1'17"925.
A busy afternoon. "It was a busy afternoon, but it was good to make up for the laps lost in the morning" – commented Sebastian at the end of the day – "We are still trying to understand the car, trying various set-ups. This afternoon, we also had a first go with the supersoft compound, just to get some more information. The next couple of days will be important for us".
Tomorrow. Testing at the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit continues until Friday. Sebastian Vettel will be first in the cockpit of the SF90 tomorrow, before Charles Leclerc takes over for the afternoon.
Montmelò – Sebastian Vettel was back behind the wheel of the Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow SF90 for the third and penultimate day of the first Formula 1 pre-season test. The German completed 80 laps in the morning and a further 54 in the afternoon, thus completing the planned distance on the programme ahead of schedule. So far, the SF90 has done 460 laps here at the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit.
Set-up work. Once again, the morning session began with a first run to check all the car components were functioning properly. Then the team got down to set-up work and evaluating tyres, simulating various phases of a race. Vettel set his fastest time a bit before the lunch break, stopping the clocks in 1'18"350.
Montmelò – Today was the first of four days of pre-season Formula 1 testing currently taking place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. At the wheel of the Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow SF90 was Sebastian Vettel. The German completed a total of 169 laps, 72 in the morning and a further 97 in the afternoon. The first item on the agenda was a check of all the car systems, followed by a series of runs with the car in different configurations.
Programme completed. Sebastian was able to complete the planned programme for the day without any problems. He ran various tyre compounds in order to analyse the car's behaviour on each of them. His best time of 1'18"161 was set before the lunch break.
Seb satisfied. At the end of his first day of running Sebastian Vettel was quite satisfied. "The first impression from today is very good. I could not have hoped for a better day, as the car worked really well and we had no issues slowing us down. We completed the programme just the way we wanted. Coming here I was pretty open minded and had no expectations and I didn't need that much time to familiar with the car, as it was making everything quite straightforward for me. I must say I am still a bit rusty, as I haven't been driving for several months, but I'll sleep well tonight". "It is too early to sum it up, as it's just the first day – Vettel added – but I would like to send my compliments to everyone back at the factory in Maranello for how they tackled all the new rules and what they put on track today and also how the team is handling the car in a well prepared way".


INTELSAT 5A F-15 was launched on January 27, 1989 from Kourou, French Guiana. It was the last in the INTELSAT 5A series of communications satellites. Built by Ford Aerospace for INTELSAT, it provided international telecommunications service from an orbital station at 60 deg. e long. The payload housed 29 C-band and 6 Ku-band transponders. It could accommodate 15,000 two-way voice circuits and two TV channels simultaneously. It also provided maritime communications for ships at sea. The satellite was box-shaped, measuring 1.66 by 2.1 by 1.77 m; solar arrays spanned 15.9 m tip to tip. The arrays, supplemented by nickel hydrogen batteries during eclipse, provided 1,800 W of power at mission onset, approximately 1,280 W at the end of its seven-year design life.

Q: Debugging NET Azure Functions project using an external terminal in VS code on Windows The VS code Azure Functions extension automatically created a launch config for debugging my project locally.
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Attach to .NET Functions",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "justMyCode": false,
            "request": "attach",
            "processId": "${command:azureFunctions.pickProcess}"
        }
    ]
}

This works well. However, I'd like to use an external terminal to debug instead of the integrated one. According to this doc, there is an option for this case, but it does not work in my case. Still, this is supposed to work for others; but I'm told then the debugger must not attach to the process but instead launch it itself (type key in json). And I have not gotten this to work that way.
Do any of you have working debug config for the Functions/VScode/ExternalTerminal/Win combo?
Cheers

A: I tried to repro using this Kenichiro Nakamura site, got the same issue.
I have opened the external terminal and used the below commands to run the debug:

*

*Creating a function in a new folder

mkdir debugmyfunction
cd debugmyfunction
func new -n debugtest --worker-runtime dotnet-isolated

*There will be a list of triggers, I selected HttpTrigger and then run the command func start

3)
Set the breakpoint after the Main() function in the program.cs
As I'm using VS Code So after pressing F5, it asked me AzureWebJobsStorage is not configured, then I disabled it to false and run again.
or
Run this command by opening the another external terminal and moving to your project directory:
func start --dotnet-isolated-debug

By default, .Net Core is the process attached in my debug console.
Then it takes a bit of time and show the following

HONOLULU – Just about every time he turned around on a brilliant, sun-drenched Friday afternoon, Stewart Cink was being told how bad he looked. All he could do was agree. And shrug. He didn't care.
And why should he when his scorecard looked so good?
Matt Kuchar isn't the only 40-something on the prowl at the Sony Open in Hawaii, the first full-field event of the year. Thanks to a sparkling eight-under-par 62, Cink is hot on the heels of his fellow Georgian at Waialae Country Club, completing 36 holes in 10-under 130.
Cink, 45, is making his 16th start at Waialae CC, and although he might say he loves the Seth Raynor design, it doesn't necessarily love him back. He missed the cut in his first three visits, and only twice has he finished in the top-10, his best coming in 2005 when he tied for fifth. Friday's 62 tied his career low score on the PGA Tour and was two shots better than his previous low in the tournament posted in the second round a year ago.
Friday's performance was his 22nd round in a row at Waialae CC at par or better, so maybe the place is warming up to him. Whatever, he has been warming up his game for this week for some time.
Cink converted nine birdies against a lone bogey without hitting it particularly close to the hole. He just kept hitting greens in regulation and decided that one putt would suffice on a lot of them, even though he pointed out that he didn't hit it particularly close to the hole. He ended up with just 24 putts on the day after needing 31 in the opening round.
What Cink kept hearing on Friday were remarks about the globs of sunscreen caked onto his face. New look. Fashion statement. Yeah, indeed there was a lot of lotion there. And for good reason. He had a chunk of basal cell carcinoma removed from the right side of his nose after last year's Players Championship.
The diagnosis was a blow to a family who has had enough of the disease. In 2016, Cink's wife Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her battle has been an inspiration to Stewart, who in no way could equate his problem to her life-threatening illness. Lisa is currently in remission, but as Stewart said, "we're still going through it. My wife is not out of the woods, but she's doing great.
More recently, Cink had a chemotherapy topical cream applied to his face, which makes his skin hypersensitive to sunlight. Thus, the need to put more than a dab of sunscreen on his face and neck and arms. It actually didn't look bad at all. Just messy.
His golf was tidy, though, giving him one more reason for what can only be described as a sunny disposition.

Q: MySQL Workbench: including triggers in creation script I'm using forward engineering to save a script that creates my database, but I also have some triggers that I want included in that. Thing is, triggers are defined in the Schema tab while forward engineering is done in the Model tab.
I need to be able to send the whole database creation script to someone so they can create it on their end. I know how to apply triggers to the database on my end, but I don't know how to include them in the creation script besides just sending the trigger scripts separately.
Is it as simple as putting the trigger statements at the end of the database creation script (generated by forward engineering)?

A: you dump database using -
To dump all databases, invoke
mysqldump with the --all-databases option:
mysqldump --all-databases > dump.sql

Here's the command to dump the triggers and stored procedures for a database:
mysqldump --routines --no-create-info --no-data --no-create-db --skip-opt [dbname]

hope its helpful to you.

Match Preview: Brentford B v Hemel Hempstead Town
Young Bees set for Saturday fixture with National League South side
Brentford B return to action on Saturday morning against Hemel Hempstead Town with the match to be played behind closed doors at Bisham Abbey in an 11am kick-off.
The young Bees, who took on a strong Wycombe Wanderers side on Tuesday this week in a narrow defeat, will be looking to return to winning ways when they play the National League South side.
Prior to the match with Wycombe the side had been in outstanding form, picking up six consecutive wins prior to the match at Adams Park. The side that took on Wycombe was heavily rotated with the likes of Fin Stevens, Alex Gilbert and Max Haygarth all involved with the First Team matchday squad for the trip to Swansea City in the Sky Bet Championship. The side were also missing the likes of Ben Hockenhull, Paris Maghoma, Gustav Mogensen and Mads Bidstrup, all who are progressing well following injuries.
Hemel Hempstead Town play in the National League South, Level 6, Step 2, of English football's pyramid system. The league has recently had a two-week suspension of fixtures with a decision still to be made regarding the financial implications of continuing the 2020/21 season during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prior to the pause in fixtures, Hemel Hempstead have fallen to three consecutive league defeats as they sit 15th in the league table having picked up 16 points from their first 15 games.

"Such Things Do Happen in the World": The Story of a Nose
An extraordinarily strange thing happened in St. Petersburg on 25 March. Ivan Yakovlevich, a barber who lived on Voznesensky Avenue (his surname has got lost and all that his shop-front signboard shows is a gentleman with a lathered cheek and the inscription 'We alse let blood'), woke up rather early one morning and smelt hot bread. As he sat up in bed he saw his wife, who was a quite respectable lady and a great coffee-drinker, taking some freshly baked rolls out of the oven.
–Nikolai Gogol, "The Nose," tr. Ronald Wilks
Long ago, in September 1992, I got myself a bass and joined a band, the Dogsmen. I was studying Russian literature in grad school at Yale, but this particular year I was on leave, since I had received a fellowship to teach Russian part-time at Trinity College in Hartford. I had written some songs previously for guitar and voice, but my newer songs began with a bass line. The first of these was "The Nose," based on Nikolai Gogol's story, one of my favorite stories in the world. I wrote the song one afternoon, recorded it with a boombox, and sent the tape to the Breeders, a band I loved and still love. I explained in my letter that the song was a tribute to them.
What was it about the Breeders? I was thinking today about how rock bands tend toward one of two attitudes: "Rock is God" and "Rock is all of us." Most have a mixture of the two, but you can usually sense a leaning. The "Rock is God" musicians create music that is larger than life–big, dramatic, overpowering. They wear makeup, have stage effects, jump from heights. The "Rock is all of us" musicians may also believe that rock is God, but they understate the matter. They perform in everyday clothes, sing about everyday things (with a twist or two), and hint that you could do this too–after all, they themselves just learned to play last week.
All of this requires illusion. Rock isn't God; rock musicians are not priests of God. They're extremely fallible and often messed up. Nor is rock all of us; the understated musicians are still doing something that few others could do. So it was with the Breeders. There was something tantalizingly close about their music, dangling just barely out of reach. It touched my soul in a down-to-earth and just-over-the-buildings way. Also, while their music seems technically simple, it's ridiculously hard to emulate. Kim Deal and her bandmates know what sound they are going for and how to achieve it. It is not easy to create that sound. That, and their songs mix sarcasm and sweetness, sanity and weirdness, tune and distortion, tightness and mess, all-out joy and pain.
But I wasn't thinking of any of this when I wrote "The Nose." I thought of it as a tribute not because it sounded like them, not because the lyrics were at all like theirs, but because it expressed in some way how I understood them. I also thought they'd appreciate Gogol's story; at one point I gave them the book.
The song translates Gogol's story into a few frames, and the frames into simple, silly music. The lyrics go (I have omitted most of the repetitions here),
"You're my nose, you belong right on my face, so don't be such a such a such a fake!"
"You've got it wrong"–he said right back to me. "I'm not your nose"–he said it so smugly. "I'm on my own, and in good company, so get out of this church and let me pray!"
Verse 3 (the Nose speaking)
"I can't go on in this hostile city, I need a home, your face looks good to me, so I'll climb on, and live there comfortably, and shake and shake and shake and shake all day…."
Coda (the Narrator speaking)
"Who knows who knows you might be someone's nose…."
One of the song's greatest glories came when my band performed a full show at my mom and Stan's place, during a family reunion (in November 1992, I think). For this song, my sister, Jenna, my aunts Norma (R.I.P.) and Jeanne, and my cousins Ruth and Ben joined as backup singers and dancers. Thanks to my uncle Dan for the video. The Dogsmen were Jon Holland (vocals, guitar), Fabian Esponda (drums), and me (vocals, bass).
Some months later (in December 1993, I think), I was visiting my mother and Stan. I checked my New Haven messages remotely (we used answering machines back then) and heard, to my astonishment, a message from Kelley Deal of the Breeders. She said she had a very important question for me. I didn't have her number, so I rerecorded my answering machine message with the number where I could be reached, hoping she would try again. She heard the message and called me at my mom's.
It turned out that they had really liked my song; their bassist, Josephine Wiggs, especially liked it and wanted to use some of the lyrics in a song of her own (that they would record and perform). Kelley wanted to know if I gave permission for this; if so, the record company's legal representative would send me forms to sign. They would credit me and everything. (They were true to their word; I received and signed the forms, the EP has the credit, and they announced it at lots of shows as well.)
How Nose-like is that? In Gogol's story, a nose appears in Ivan Yakovlevich's breakfast roll (and disappears from Major Kovalev's face); here, a few lyrics migrated from "The Nose" to the Breeders' song "Head to Toe." Specifically, some of the words from the third verse, "Your face looks good to me, so I'll climb on [and live there] comfortably" became the refrain of "Head to Toe." And what a song!
Josephine Wiggs's own version is hauntingly lovely.
Gogol's story ends (in Ronald Wilks's translation):
But the strangest, most incredible thing of all is that authors should write about such things. That, I confess, is beyond my comprehension. It's just…no, no, I don't understand it at all! Firstly, it's no use to the country whatsoever; secondly, it's no use…I simply don't know what one can make of it…However, when all is said and done, one can concede this point or the other and perhaps you can even find…well then you won't find much that isn't on the absurd side, will you?
And yet, if you stop to think for a moment, there's a grain of truth in it. Whatever you may say, these things do happen—rarely, I admit, but they do happen.
I would translate the last sentence as "Whatever anyone may say, such things do happen in the world–rarely, but they happen."
Yes, they happen! They're staggeringly unlikely, yet they makes sense. The worlds of a Russian lit grad student and a rock band came together through a song, a story, and a few words that hit home. And the nose ran off and turned up again. And I reread the story many, many times, and eventually finished my Ph.D. dissertation, which was on Gogol.
But if you think this was the end of it, no, the nose keeps coming back. Years later, Shostakovich's opera "The Nose" was performed at the Met, and my mom gave me a ticket for my birthday. I loved the performance and bought a little souvenir, a nose pencil sharpener. This was my favorite desk adornment when I taught at Columbia Secondary School.
But one day that nose went missing, along with an "art eraser." A fitting occurrence–another nose-flight–but I determined, like Kovalev, to track my nose down. I sent out an email to students, asking whether they had seen these valuable items. I got a reply from a parent. I didn't save it, but it read approximately, "Incredibly, we happen to have a nose pencil sharpener. Will you accept it from us?" This nose (unlike mine) was slightly caked with some gunky stuff; I decided to keep it that way, for the memory. I even brought it to Hungary. In case it has any plans to run away again, I reminded it sternly just now, "You're my nose!"

I made a few edits and corrections to this piece after posting it.

A Great Lecture and Bike Ride
"The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time"
…and your cousin Ben shed his first tears as a result of being moved by a work of art as he heard the last chapter of Gogol's Diary of a Madman, read chapter by chapter as bedtime stories, age six, on your recommendation.
Thank you for reminding me. Ben heard and felt something in "Diary of a Madman" that I didn't yet. At the time, I understood the dark humor, the play with language, the mischief, and the ambivalence of Gogol's stories. But they are also devastating, and I didn't understand this until later.

Rob Krane and his associates planned on investigating part of his unusual partner, Burak Demir's international criminal network in exotic Bulgaria - what they didn't plan on was rescuing the renowned Williamson family from their sinking yacht and the attention that generates. Discovering a link between Demir's businesses, Varna's Chief of Police and Mrs Williamson, Krane investigates further into the shady dealings behind Mrs Williamson's smile.
With a pace as slick as an international jewel thief, Intervention: Eavesdroppers explodes into action and never lets up on the excitement. The book packs in elements of terrorism, organised crime, suspense and data fraud and is as intriguing as the first in the series.

Q: What is the explicit obstruction to almost sure convergence in stochastic integrals? Let $B(\omega,t)$ be a Brownian motion defined on some appropriately filtered probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F}_{t},\mathbb{P})$, and let $f(\omega,t)$ be a stochastic process defined on $\Omega$ and adapted to $\mathcal{F}_{t}$.
The stochastic integral of $f$ with respect to $B$ is defined as (over some partition $\Pi_{n}$ of $[0,t]$ such that $\|\Pi_{n}\|\to0$ as $n\to\infty$)
$$\underbrace{\int_{0}^{t}f(\omega,s)\;dB(\omega,s)}_{I(\omega,t)}:=\lim_{n\to\infty}\underbrace{\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}f(\omega,t_{j})[B(\omega,t_{j+1})-B(\omega,t_{j})]}_{I_{n}(\omega,t)},$$
where the limit is taken in $L^{2}$, $L^{1}$, probability, etc. but not pointwise (pathwise) with respect to $\omega$.
In other words,
$$\|I_{n}^{t}-I^{t}\|_{L^{2}(\Omega)}\to0\;\text{as}\;n\to\infty$$
or
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathbb{P}\left(\omega:|I_{n}^{t}(\omega)-I^{t}(\omega)|\geq\epsilon\right)=0\;\text{for all}\;\epsilon>0.$$
Since $t$ is held fixed throughout the entire limiting process, consider just a sequence of random variables $\{X_{n}(\omega)\}$.  Intuitively, the difference between convergence in probability and convergence pointwise is that while the probability of the set on which the $X_{n}$ and $X$ disagree goes to $0$ for both, convergence in probability allows this set to move around in the domain $\Omega$, whereas pointwise convergence requires the set to remain fixed for all variables in the sequence past some finite point.  In other words, the total probability of all the events for which $|X_{n}(\omega)-X(\omega)|>\epsilon$ must go to $0$ for both modes of convergence, but in convergence in probability the location of the events within the sample space can change (as long as the total probability is shrinking to $0$), whereas for point wise convergence they must remain fixed past some finite point (and also shrink to $0$).
Is there a way to understand this concretely for the case of the stochastic integral?  For instance, what is the nature of the "shuffling" around the sample space that causes pathwise convergence to fail, and the shrinking of probability of "bad" events to $0$ that still allows for convergence in probability?  I'm willing to accept an answer for the same situation as regards $[B,B](\omega,t)=t$, which is true only when the convergence of the approximating sequence is taken in probability.
The main motivation for asking this question is to help dispel the lack of intuition behind calculations involving stochastic integrals (e.g. Ito's lemma), since you'd like to think of them as taking place pointwise, but in fact they are taking place after convergence in probability.
EDIT Added some comments to perhaps narrow the question being asked.

A: As we know, the Riemann-Stieltjes integral $\int_0^t f(s)\,dg(s)$ converges for all continuous $f$ only if $g$ has bounded variation.  But Brownian $B(\omega,s)$ has unbounded variation in $s$ for (almost) all $\omega$.  So writing $\int_0^t f(s) \,dB(\omega,s)$ is (pathwise) nonsense.  The amazing thing is that it converges in these weak senses.
So I think the real question is not about an obstruction to pathwise convergence.  But rather the amazing, unexpected convergence in mean...

A: I believe the following result answers the question raised in the comments of the original post, by the original poster, and in doing so helps "dispel the lack of intuition behind calculations involving stochastic integrals":

If the meshes are chosen regularly with meshwidth $h_n\to 0$ such that
$$
 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\mathbb{E}\left[
 \int_{0}^{1}(f(\omega,x)-f(\omega,\lfloor x/h_n\rfloor h_n)^{2}\;dx\right]<\infty, $$ then the
Itô sums converge almost surely to the Itô integral (under usual conditions on the integrand)

This is proven, for example, in Remark 7.7 of the textbook Brownian motion by Mörters and Peres. It is an immediate consequence of Itô's isometry.
In particular, if $f$ is $1/2+\epsilon$ Hölder continuous, then $h_n=n^{-1}$ guarantees pathwise convergence.

The Ultimate Movie Guide
Shang Chi Review: Marvel's Best Action Movie Hits More Than It Misses
Marvel Studios' "Shang–Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings" stars Simu Liu as Shang–Chi, who must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization. The film also stars Tony Leung as Wenwu, Awkwafina as Shang–Chi's friend Katy and Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan, as well as Fala Chen, Meng'er Zhang, Florian Munteanu and Ronny Chieng. "Shang–Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings" is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and opens in theaters on September 3, 2021.
Shang Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings Trailer:
Without question, the biggest task for Shang Chi was to deliver some solid action and it did. The fight choreography was intense and the stunts that went along with them were even better. Director Destin Daniel Cretton brought on Jackie Chan's stunt coordinators, and you'll immediately notice the similar physical stunts from the bus scene and the fight club. Along with that, there was an additional blend of the wuxia-style fighting style which many will remember from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The coolest thing about the fighting is that not only does it look really cool, but it also tells a story. There's a fight scene that is simply beautiful to watch, and it's even more impressive that no words were needed to understand the story.

While the fights were entertaining to watch, none of them would've have been successful without the amazing performances from the cast. Simu Liu is a star in the making, and is a promising action star as the character Shang Chi. He was exceptional in his fight scenes and it was an added bonus that he was able to do many of his own stunts as well. Not only that, but his comedic timing and delivery of witty humor was pretty funny.

Alongside Simu Liu, Tony Leung (who plays Wenwu or the real Mandarin) probably stole the show thanks to his performance. As the main villain, he was probably one of the more intriguing characters in Shang Chi. I loved how complex his character was in the film. Despite doing some pretty shady things, he had a code and understandable motivations. What I think I appreciate the most is how he's able to switch into different modes. His attitude and behavior can shift depending on the situation, and Leung executes those transitions with ease. He hit all the right points to be both a terrifying villain and father.

This brings me to some more positives for Shang Chi, and they were the themes of family and various Asian cultures. I found it refreshing when the film would highlight some of the cultural aspects of various Asian cultures. It could range from the food, to the mythologies From the food, to the mythical Asian lore, to even the unique family dynamics, Shang-Chi taps into all of that. I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a family drama this movie showcased. I certainly appreciated how the ideas of tradition and legacy all fed into those family themes to really help Shang Chi feel more relatable.

Lastly, the visuals in Shang Chi were stunning. The fight choreography wasn't just fancy stunts, but it also incorporated the surrounding environment to make the scenes more vivid. I liked the CGI special effects that were used to make the grade finale of the film. Although I would say that is very subjective because my expectations for CGI may vary compared to others. As long as you don't give me The Scorpion King level of CGI, I'm pretty forgiving in that department. I believe Shang Chi's special effects were good enough to keep me engaged.
One issue I had with Shang Chi is that despite so many cool action scenes, and intriguing characters, this movie fell short in some of the story telling. There were several moments where maybe an additional flashback would've been really good to see. For example, we only hear about Shang Chi's past when he comes to America, but we don't really get to see any of those moments. The reason why this is an issue is because it's a missed opportunity to help audiences understand the impact of his transition in moving to the West. It's one thing to hear about the toll an action takes on a character, but it's another to have us actually see even just a quick flashback or two.

Shang Chi has a great cast of female characters, but I felt they weren't handled very well. Shang Chi's mother is wrapped with all this mystery around her, and during a major conflict, we don't even get to see what happens. Then you have Shang Chi's sister who has a great introduction but her conflict with Shang Chi felt rushed and under developed. What we lose here is a chance to learn more about their relationship and how it later could inform their individual characters. Then finally you have a certain female character get the "Mary Sue" treatment. The problem isn't the fact that she gains a new ability, it's that there's no good explanation given for it. I'll just say that a certain Avenger may get jealous.
A minor letdown with Shang Chi is how the final battle looks like it copied directly from Black Panther. There were just way too many similarities such as the family feud or even how the final battle ensued. To keep things spoiler-free I won't continue on, but the comparisons were making the ending a little too predictable.

Finally, there's a character fans will be familiar with that Shang Chi spent way too much time with. So many of this character's scenes felt unnecessary and forced just for the sake of comic relief. Some of that screen time could've gone towards more fight scenes, or flashbacks to actually give Shang Chi himself a bit more depth to his character. A quick cameo would've been great for this character, but many of these scenes felt like they would've been better suited for the deleted scenes section on Disney+.
Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is superb blend of action, drama and comedy and packed with tantalizing visuals. It's easily Marvel Studios' best action movie to date. When I say action, I'm specifically talking about the hand to hand fighting and martial arts. In case you're wondering, Shang Chi is not comparable to other great action movies like The Raid films. This is still a Marvel Studios product (owned by Disney). Until they are ready to cross that PG-13 threshold, the fighting won't get to The Raid level at all. As I brought up earlier, thanks to the stunt teams, Shang Chi is a combination of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and almost any Jackie Chan movie.

Try to avoid any trailers for Shang Chi if you can, because I believe they reveal a bit too much. The trailers show certain scenes to the point where the moment you get into that environment, you already know what's going to happen. It's just disappointing because the movie treats it like it's supposed to be a surprise.

There are two post credit scenes to keep an eye out for. The first one is definitely the most interesting one as it does tease some things for the future of the MCU. The second one is a little less enticing but something that may factor in on a lesser scale. Shang Chi was fun to watch, and if possible, worth seeing on the biggest screen possible. That way you can fully experience the visuals and make up your own mind if they work for you or not.

Meet LG's UltraFine 4K and UltraFine 5K Displays: Built For The MacBook and MacBook Pro [Video]
During Apple's event last Oct. 27, Apple announced that they have teamed up with LG Electronics in creating a 4K and 5K UltraFine Displays that were designed to work with Apple's new 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro's.
The two new LG displays use LG's new UltraFine technology that is employed in their 27-inch 5K display and the 21.5-inch 4K display. According to LG Electronics, the displays are ideal for creating an expanded workspace in the home or office and a perfect complement for MacBook and MacBook Pro users.
27-inch UltraFine 5K Monitor with Thunderbolt 3
The UltraFine 5K display features a 5120 x 2880 resolution and a density of 218 pixels per inch (ppi) capable of P3 wide color gamut with IPS for any angle viewing with minimal color shift and loss. It is equipped with Thunderbolt 3, can multistream 5K video, audio, and data on a single cable, and charges your MacBook Pro at the same time with up to 85W of power.
The UltraFine 5K display is outfitted with three downstream USB Type-C ports at the back of the display. The unit also comes equipped with built-in stereo speakers, a front-facing camera, and microphone array. The UltraFine 5K display, however, is only compatible with the new MacBook Pro that has Thunderbolt 3 ports. Brightness and volume controls are MacOS integrated eliminating the need of physical buttons on the display.
21.5-Inch UltraFine 4K Monitor
The smaller 4K display features a 4096 x 2304 resolution and a density of 219 ppi also capable of P3 spectrum and also IPS equipped for wide viewing angles. The unit also comes with built-in stereo speakers. The UltraFine 4K is equipped with three downstream USB Type-C ports for video, data, and power. Same with its bigger sibling MacOS integration allows the unit's brightness and volume to be controlled by the OS.
The LG 21.5-inch UltraFine 4K display will be shipping November for $699.95 and the LG 27-inch UltraFine 5K will be available in December for $1,299.95, according to Forbes. More information about the displays is available at www.apple.com.

For those that don't know, the Salmon Ladder is an obstacle on American Ninja Warrior that's been around since the start, is incredibly hard, is in every version of the show and forces veterans and rookies alike to get dunked in the water.
I tried it myself for the first time last Sunday, and it is so much harder than I ever imagined! I fell off so many times… which was slightly terrifying given we were on a hill and the bar is solid iron.
For those that don't know, basically, you grab hold of a bar, and then with a kind of pull-up jumping motion, you jump the bar (and yourself) to the next rung. My trainer only has 3 rungs, and it's a metal bar on metal rungs, so it's loud. It echoes throughout the suburb.
Surprisingly, I didn't struggle on the strength requirements, it was the coordination that did me in. My left side found the rung every time, but my right side often missed… which is weird because I'm definitely stronger on my right side. I didn't actually make it up all three rungs, and my very first attempt was easily my best…. it's brutal on the hands. You basically have to throw the bar out behind you, and up, and then forward, in a way that's completely perpendicular to the frame . Makes this so much more impressive, 35 rung Salmon ladder! I barely got up 3 rungs.
I now have even more appreciation for the athletes that compete on the show, and given how unco my attempt was, I think it's crazy to try and compete without mastering the Salmon Ladder first, strength is important but technique is everything!
← Get outside! Go on, git!


Saturday NCAABB analysis: The #22 ranked Kansas State Wildcats travel to Ames, Iowa to take on the #15 ranked Iowa State Cyclones in a Big 12 clash.
Kansas State is coming off a tough 3 point loss on the road at Texas as they were the victim of a last second 3 pointer. After a tough start to the season starting 2-3, the Wildcats reeled off 10 straight wins, including a 74-71 victory over top ten ranked Oklahoma State. The winning streak ended abruptly with a 26 point road loss at Kansas. The Wildcats are averaging 67.8 ppg, and shooting 42% from the field this season. They average 37.2 rebounds per game and are only allowing oppenents to shoot 39.9% from the field. They defend the perimeter very well, as they rank 5th in the nation in 3 point field goal percentage allowing only 26% of those 3 point attempts. Defensively they are ranked 15th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 60 ppg.
Iowa State Cyclones are one of the highest scoring teams in the nation, averaging 85.1 ppg (6th in the nation). The Cyclones had one of the best starts in school history with a 14-0 start. Conference play however hasn't been too kind to them. They are 2-3 in Big 12 play and have lost 3 straight to the hands of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. They've had a week off and should be well rested for Saturday's contest. The Cyclones like to shoot the three as they are tops in the Big 12 in 3 point attempts per game, yet they are only shooting 28.3% in Big 12 play. They are decent on the glass, as they are averaging 39.9 rebounds per game. Defensively they are allowing their opponents to shoot 40% from the field and are allowing 70 ppg.
I'm taking the points with Kansas State on Saturday. I believe that the Wildcats can defend the perimeter well enough to somewhat limit the Iowa State 3 point attack. Iowa State is actually in a look ahead spot here. The Cyclones I'm sure are eager to right the ship and get in the win column, but they have Kansas on deck next Wednesday. The same Kansas team that defeated them in Ames less than two weeks ago. I've heard that there was a players only meeting at Iowa State shortly after their third loss in a row, yet I don't put much stock into it. Iowa State can probably pull out the win with the home crowd behind them, but I can't imagine them covering the large number here.


A great vehicle and a great value! Top features include air conditioning, telescoping steering wheel, skid plates, and much more. It features four-wheel drive capabilities, a durable automatic transmission, and 5 liter 8 cylinder engine.

With that wood I build the greatest thing known to man, a majestic beast, a death machine, an amazing piece……………THE UNDERWEARAPULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Underwearapult is a catapult consisding of a couple hunks of wood, two bungee cords, spray paint, nails, and um well..Underwear. The underwear is attached to the two bungee cords which are attached to nails at the "release zone" as I call it. That is being held up by three pieces of wood.
It best fires tennis balls but in the video you can't see them so i used wiffle balls. I spraypainted three red lines on the wood where you stretch the bungee cords. The first on equals 80 feet, second one 95, third one 100+.
This is so epic and funny.
Please vote in Launch it and krylon contest! Thanks!
lol... somebody is gonna miss their underwear.
