Fall Films 2017: Can Wonder Woman, Luke Skywalker and Thor save the movies' most serious season?
It's fall, the time when people who think about movies usually get excited about thoughtful films. Maybe not so much this year, though.

Shoppers walking into a BMW showroom looking for one of its Sport Activity Vehicles this summer will certainly be spoiled for choice – the now four-strong range steps up through the latest entry, the X1, to the X3, the X5 and the X6 – but it's a good bet most will still drive off in one of the new-for-2011, second-generation X3s.
Which shouldn't be surprising as the original X3, which made its debut in 2004 as a follow-up to BMW's first effort X5 – despite coming up a bit short in some areas and being almost universally flagellated by the auto media for its "brutal" ride – has proven a popular crossover alternate with Bimmer enthusiasts. And the new one is the best seller of the bunch so far this year.
That could change when the less-expensive, compact, entry level X1 hits its stride – it's anticipated to account for as much as a quarter of X-model sales. But maybe not, as the now larger – both outside and in side – and otherwise refined X3 will remain more right-sized and priced for many buyers of this type of BMW.
The new-gen X3 arrived early this year in two variants. The X3 xDrive35i is priced at $46,900 and powered by an inline-six displacing 3.0 litres and turbocharged to pump output up to 300 hp. The entry xDrive28i, which we'll look at here, has a similar 3.0-litre, normally aspirated motor making an improved 240 hp and lists at $41,900.
This latest X3 is built (in the United States) on a new platform that brings with it improvements in safety, rigidity and lighter weight. It's a little larger in most dimensions, with length up 83 mm, width 28 mm, height 12 mm, and it has a longer wheelbase and a wider track.
Benefits include enough additional room inside to at least partially answer complaints about the rather tight quarters of the previous generation. This is most noticeable in the rear compartment where space for most body parts improves and new doors make getting in and out easier. But the middle passenger, perched on the hard pad in the rear seat's centre section, still won't be very happy.
Cargo space has also been increased a bit to a useful if still not generous 1,600 litres, accessed by a larger hatch.
Around all this has been wrapped restyled sheet metal that retains the gen-one character but with additional eye-appeal, and manages to convey the sense it's larger and more substantial than the increases in dimensions would dictate.
The interior redesign is particularly attractive and still very much driver-focused with an instrument panel that presents the simple gauge cluster through the top segment of a thick-rimmed wheel, and a centre stack within reach to the right with large info screen and HVAC controls. A contoured centre console, covered on the test unit in $585 worth of Fineline Sienna Wood trim, is topped by the neat shift lever and the easy enough to figure out fourth-generation multi-function iDrive controller.
The power/heated seats are typically BMW, firmly bolstered and covered in a good-looking leatherette and the equipment list includes the things you'd expect for the price, including auto climate control and Bluetooth.
Overall, this interior gets high marks. It's not cluttered with gadgetry, but has all the things you need to drive the vehicle and control your personal environment.
Those opting for the entry 28i won't find it short of performance, with the silky 3.0-litre inline-six making 240 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. That's not a lot of torque to motivate an 1,865-kg crossover but a transmission with eight ratios in its repertoire makes the most of it to deliver lively around-town drivability – 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.1 seconds is only a little more than a second slower than the 35i – and easy and fairly frugal cruising.
Fuel economy ratings are 10.8 litres/100 km city and 7.9 highway (9.3 at real highway cruising speeds). Average after a week was an indicated 10.0.
BMW took to heart complaints about the ride, but while the new double-ball-joint spring-strut front and multi-link rear suspension produce ride dynamics less abrupt and impactful on passenger's posteriors, it's still very firm. As it has to be to attain BMW-style handling in a vehicle of this type and which the 28i delivers.
Given the price – which would perhaps allow you to tick off a few more boxes on BMW's always extensive option list and perhaps stay within your budget than the 35i – and its more than acceptable overall driving performance, the xDrive28i is the sensible choice between the two.

We often think that this year we are going to exercise and stay fit and so on. However, after a month or two, these decisions start taking a backseat. Hence, we have to understand as to why fitness should be our priority.
With these interesting facts mentioned below, we are sure that you will not blink twice before making fitness your first priority. Read on to know more about the reasons why fitness should be your top priority.
Knowing the benefits of exercising is not always enough to get us motivated into doing the task. There should be facts and motivational thoughts to start following it. If you are looking for some inspiration to get motivated then read on to find out more.
First of all, exercise shouldn't feel like it is a chore that you need to do. It should be an activity that fits into your daily routine, and make sure you do spare sometime to this routine. It is quite beneficial for your body and soul. Therefore, read on to know more reasons about why fitness should be your priority.
Start Slow
Start with something slow, this can be anything like running or walking a mile. Do not over strain your muscles with a sudden pressure of exercises. Take baby steps, as the body needs to warm up steadily as well.
Sense Of An Achievement
When you start working out, the changes that you see in your body will instigate and motivate you to exercise a little more, as you can see the results. This gives you a sense of an achievement.
Better Health
There are so many health benefits of exercising. When you shed those extra pounds, you tend to be less prone to ailments such as diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, stroke and heart diseases. This is why fitness should be your priority.
Improves Appearance
If you are overweight or not having a toned shaped figure, you automatically tend to develop a low self-esteem. Losing some extra weight surely boosts up your self-confidence and energy instantly, and you do tend to be a little less embarrassed.
Increases Strength And Stamina
Do not forget that people who exercise regularly have a great stamina and strength. It helps you accomplish certain daily tasks like climbing stairs, without making you sweat much.
Reduces Stress
What better way to vent out your anger and frustration than a regular routine of exercise. Exercising regularly helps to reduce stress or mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
Designate Time For Exercise
Make sure you set a certain time of the day or week to exercise and do not skip it by consoling your ownself. Remember that if you do not set up some sort of a plan, it gets easy to back out and skip your exercise routine.
If you have more reasons on why fitness should be your priority, do share them with us in the comment section.

Steve Myers, CERN's Director for Accelerators and Technology, presented the LHC schedule for the next 10 years today in the first plenary presentation at the International Conference on High Energy Physics. Myers also presented his predictions for the amount of data that the LHC may collect over the same time period. These predictions over the next few years will be scrutinized closely by scientists at Fermilab's Tevatron, who have proposed extending the accelerator's life for a further 3 years.
CERN has previously announced a year-long LHC shutdown in 2012 to repair connections between the accelerator's thousands of superconducting magnets. The schedule announced today states that the shutdown will last 15 months, after which the LHC would run for approximately three straight years, until November of 2015. Another 15-month shutdown would follow in 2016, to prepare the accelerator to run with even more intense proton beams.
Unlike the 10-year plan for the LHC, which was agreed to by CERN management, Myers stated that his luminosity predictions are just that: his predictions, to be taken with a large amount of salt. It's been well known that CERN aims to deliver one inverse femtobarn of data to the experiments by the end of the 2010-2011 run, an amount of data that would bring it up to the level of the Tevatron in the searches for some new particles. Myers' new prediction for the amount of data to be delivered by the end of 2014 - the same year that an extended Tevatron run would end - is 30 inverse femtobarns. In comparison, the Tevatron would have delivered approximately 20 inverse femtobarns of data to the CDF and DZero experiments.
But, as CDF's Ben Kilminster notes, the numbers don't tell the whole story. Myers' predictions state that almost 21 of those 30 inverse femtobarns will have been delivered in the final year of running, which means that all would need to go as planned during the LHC's 2012 shutdown and the following two years of running. Whereas the Tevatron, as a mature machine, is already up to speed and would be continually cranking out data from now until the end of its life. And when it comes to the hunt for the Higgs, the CDF and DZero experiments have years of running experience and very well-understood detectors on their side, which the ATLAS and CMS experiments are just beginning to feel out their new detectors with the first data. So look for much more to come on the race between the two accelerators to crank out collisions, and the possible extension of the Tevatron's run.

Wayne Rooney returns to sink Crystal Palace, Mesut Ozil fires Arsenal
Rooney had missed United's defeat at Liverpool and England's World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine after suffering a gashed head in a training ground collision with team-mate Phil Jones.
Wayne Rooney returned to give Manchester United manager David Moyes his first win at Old Trafford as the champions beat Crystal Palace 2-0, while Mesut Ozil marked his debut by inspiring Arsenal to a 3-1 triumph at Sunderland Saturday.
Rooney had missed United's defeat at Liverpool and England's World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine after suffering a gashed head in a training ground collision with team-mate Phil Jones.
But, wearing a black headband to protect the damaged area, Rooney marked his return to action with his first goal of the season in the 81st minute.
Robin van Persie had struck from the spot to give United the lead in first-half stoppage-time after Palace's South African midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi was sent off for fouling Ashley Young.
Moyes sent on Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini for his United debut in the 61st minute following his £27.5 million ($43.7 million, 32.8 million euros) move from Everton on transfer deadline day.
With Alex Ferguson watching from the stands for the first time since his retirement, United sealed their first win in three league games -- and Moyes's first on home soil since his arrival as Ferguson's successor -- thanks to Rooney's fine free-kick.
"He tired a bit in the second half but I thought he was great in everything he did," Moyes said of Rooney.
"I wanted him to get 90 minutes under his belt, which is important with the busy week we have coming up.
"I thought we played well but we needed to score a few more goals with the build up play we managed."
At the Stadium of Light, Ozil, Arsenal's club record signing, made an instant impact during his 79-minute appearance, while team-mate Aaron Ramsey continued his fine start to the campaign.
Ozil, signed from Real Madrid on transfer deadline day for £42 million, didn't take long to show his class as the Germany midfielder produced a brilliant touch to control a long ball and then squared for Olivier Giroud, who made no mistake with a cool finish in the 11th minute.
Sunderland drew level when Laurent Koscielny needlessly fouled Adam Johnson in the penalty area and Craig Gardner drove home the resulting spot-kick in the 48th minute.
But Ramsey restored Arsenal's advantage in the 67th minute with a superb volley and the Wales midfielder wrapped up his side's third league win of the season as he finished off a slick move nine minutes later.
Ramsey was quick to hail Ozil's impact, saying: "You've seen what he is all about, slipping those balls in, he has one of highest assist-rates in Europe and he is going to create a lot of opportunities for us."
Tottenham started the post-Gareth Bale era with a 2-0 win against Norwich at White Hart Lane.
Bale joined Real Madrid just before the transfer deadline earlier this month but the Welsh winger's move doesn't seem to have unsettled Andre Villas-Boas's team, who have won three of their four matches this term.
They were ahead when Danish winger Christian Eriksen, signed from Ajax to fill the gap left by Bale, slid the ball perfectly into the path of Gylfi Sigurdsson, who hammered home in the 28th minute.
Iceland midfielder Sigurdsson killed off Norwich with his second goal, from Paulinho's cross, four minutes after half-time.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes frustrated his former club as Manchester City were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Hughes was furious to be sacked by City's Abu Dhabi-based owners in 2009 but he enjoyed a measure of revenge in a dour clash as Stoke held on against Manuel Pellegrini's expensively-assembled outfit.
Yoan Gouffran was Newcastle's star as the Magpies won 2-1 at Aston Villa.
Alan Pardew's team moved in front when Hatem Ben Arfa lashed home from Loic Remy's pass in the 18th minute.
Christian Benteke brought Villa level in the 67th minute, the powerful striker rising highest to head his fifth goal in five appearances this season.
But Newcastle took the points thanks to French midfielder Gouffran six minutes later.
Hull and Cardiff shared a 1-1 draw in a clash between the two clubs who won automatic promotion from the Championship last season.
Steve Bruce's team took the lead through Curtis Davies's 40th minute header but Cardiff midfielder Peter Whittingham volleyed the equaliser in the 59th minute.
Steve Sidwell's 22nd minute strike gave Fulham the lead at Craven Cottage but West Bromwich Albion rescued a 1-1 draw when Gareth McAuley netted in the 90th minute.

Additionally, the nanotechnology permits screening of nanomaterial that utilized as a dental implant product.
Electron microscopy is additionally among one of the most contemporary as well as most recent pattern of oral implants. It is a high-resolution method made use of for identifying the level of Osseointegration that has actually progressed in between the dental implant as well as the bordering bone. Additionally, it likewise permits the decision of the oxygen finish bordering the dental implant with no example check.
The current fads dominating in the implants have actually significantly altered the face of dental implant dental care. The majority of these treatments adhered to today for implants entail clinical study, the exploration of brand-new realities and also a much better understanding of professional methods. And also this has actually made the denture implants appear like all-natural teeth. All-natural teeth swiftly obtained subjected to oral degeneration as well as to fix them root canal done, however implants are steel, as well as they do not collapse, or we could claim origin canal not needed for implants. Modern innovation utilizes the unique tool for tooth substitute making implants failsafe system. The dental implant has actually ended up being the therapy of selection as using newest innovation has actually boosted the scientific proficiency.
Micro spreading is among one of the most affordable and also available strategies of denture implants. It entails making use of a steel thaw, which is cast in a steel mold and mildew, as well as permits construction of tooth implants with terrific information and also complex geometries. The strategy is utilized to produce the same implants on big quantity.
Missing teeth arises from illness as well as injury and also is typical nowadays. An oral implant is presented to get rid of such problems as well as offer assistance for the substitute of missing out on teeth. The dental implant is not a brand-new principle; it has actually remained in method since the start of the civilisation. Implant fads are transforming considerably with the boost of study operate in layouts, products and also methods. Research study has actually transformed the pattern of dental care as well as made the life of dental experts simpler and also permitted the clients to have an enjoyable encounter. Limited aspect evaluation, electron microscopy, Glass fiber strengthened dental implant, as well as mini spreading is amongst the most recent fads in oral implants.
Challenging oral implants applied effectively with making use of computer-aided design as well as producing innovation. The modern technology supplies higher precision and also has actually considerably lowered the moment associated with producing the dental implant components.

ECCTG October 2012 Radar Detector Test
It's been a long time since we rock-n-rolled… or should we say, had a good Radar Detector comparison test! It was 2009 when the Guys of LIDAR held their last test, and quite a bit has changed since then.
Most of the new developments came from Escort's end with the release of multiple detectors – a high performance windshield mount deemed the RedLine, a GPS navigator and radar detector hybrid called the Passport IQ, and the SmartRadar which has Escort Live capabilities built in and combines some aspects of a remote installed detector and windshield units. Although not an entirely new detector, the Escort 8500 X50 got a performance boost when it was upgraded to the 8500 X50 Black Edition. Beltronics released the STi-R Plus, a much anticipated offering since the original STi-R was discontinued. The STi-Driver got an upgrade to the STi-Magnum which was supposed to bring Beltronics's windshield mount M3 into a similar performance tier as the Escort RedLine. Beltronics also renamed many of their windshield mounts with the Pro 300 replacing the RX65, the Pro 500 replacing the GX65, and the Vector series all adopting new monikers. Valentine Research updated the Valentine One from the firmware revision 3.872 released in 2008 to revision 3.893. Whistler released an installed remote detector based on the SE platform, the Whistler PRO-3600, which includes GPS features and an optional rear antenna.
With all the new changes in the radar detector industry, the East Coast Countermeasure Testing Group (ECCTG) decided it was time to get their feet wet with some heavy duty radar testing. We have an extensive background with LIDAR testing and small scale radar testing; however, it was clear a much bigger radar test was needed to flush out where all these new and upgraded detectors fit in the performance spectra. Gathering the equipment wasn't all that hard being the fanatics that we are, we had all the radar guns (X, K, and all three Ka Bands) and quite a few of the radar detectors themselves.
We gathered 5 people, 21 radar detectors, 4 radar guns, and headed out for what would be an action packed and learning filled experience.
Radar Detectors
Current production radar detectors owned by members were only used in testing if we felt their performance was a good representation of what one could expect buying the detector new. The other detectors were graciously provided to us for testing by SoundConcepts. These were pulled from stock at random and were received in unopened new condition.
All detectors were run in the settings most commonly used by members of the forum unless otherwise indicated. This means Highway Mode, TSR-Off, and POP-off for Escort and Beltronics units. The V1s were run in "A Mode" with POP-Off and Ka-Guard on. The Whistler units were put in the lowest filter setting, POP-Off, and the Cobra was in "Highway Mode." All detectors were mounted level on the windshield in the same location with no other detectors or mounts on the windshield at the time of testing.
The test car was kept consistent for each band eliminating any differences in windshield composition as a variable. Remote units were tested in the cars of their owners as they have no windshield obstructing their view. The data connections on all cell phones in the test car were disabled since certain 4G networks can cause falsing and potentially interference as well.
Radar Car and Guns
The radars used in this test were modern digital dash mounts including models from all (4) police radar manufacturers here in the US. We prefer using dash mounts because they provide a stable platform for a consistent signal to test detector performance.
Once positioned, the radar and vehicle it was installed in remained fixed until all detectors completed their test runs. K-Band testing was done in one session and we returned the following day for Ka testing. To provide a good comparison of each detector's performance between bands, we used the same parking position and landmark (telephone pole on the horizon) for targeting the radars on both days.
How did the radars themselves perform? They all read targets just as soon as they came into view or 2,663 feet from the radar car. Therefore we can conclude that the effective warning distance of any detector in this test began after that 2,663 foot mark… under that, any of these radars had you. The MPH, Stalker and Kustom units included FAST target displays capable of reading both the Strongest as well as the Fastest targets within their range. The Decatur Genesis only read the Strongest target (usually the closest vehicle) being a more basic type of moving/stationary radar.
We noticed in this test that determining WHO was responsible for our speed readings was not always easy with multiple targets in the radar's pattern. This is how mistakes can and do happen with radar and the wrong person sometimes gets a ticket. It's also why you should never count yourself out if you unwittingly come into the target range of an Instant On radar… it may take the officer more time than you think to sort things out.
However, the directional capability of the Stalker DSR 2x made correct target identification much easier. It was the only radar in this test with the ability to indicate the direction of travel of all targets being read. Providing more information and less doubt, we found the DSR 2x was overall more effective at longer distances than the other radar units used in this test. Be advised that MPH, Kustom and Decatur also have their own versions of "Directional" radars out on the market.
To anyone planning to do their own radar testing in the future, finding a good course is the most difficult part. Our original plan was a good one if only a little (ok, maybe very) optimistic. That was, to test all the most popular radar detectors (16 models) against all five radar bands in (3) separate scenarios.
- Straight line range test (what we call on-axis detection).
- Around the bend range test (what we call off-axis detection).
- Instant On / Response testing.
The plan also included testing multiple copies of the elite detectors (to check for consistency) as well as testing out advanced programming options on the models that have the ability to turn Ka filtering off.
Well… you've heard of the best laid plans of mice and men right? Unfortunately, we spent too much time on course #2 (the off-axis course) trying to get it to work and it just wasn't happening. What we ended up discovering was that there was a dead zone on this course due to a dip right in the middle. This resulted in bunching of the better detectors at the far end with the less capable detectors grouping on the near side. This was not the type of progressive separation we were looking for. After repositioning the radar car numerous times (with that many more adjustments on targeting the radar) we finally gave up on that course.
The good news was that course #1 was a fantastic "live course" for testing on-axis range! In a straight line the radars themselves were consistently reading targets at 2,663 feet, beyond that a slight knoll in the road and trees picketing the course on either side were screening approaching traffic. For the detectors, the same obstacles (as well as a few slight turns) worked to bleed off some of that signal strength, but the better detectors were still sniffing it out a full mile away or further. Of course, the further from the source the more challenging the course becomes for the detectors, but there were no apparent dead zones here. It was a live course with traffic but keep in mind the slogan of ECCTG – Real world testing, real world results. In most real world encounters you're not the only car on the road.
In the end, we never did get to the off-axis testing let alone the Instant On portion. X-Band testing was nixed and we even had to abbreviate the 33.8 and 35.5 Ka long range tests to include just the top (7) performers that were still available at the end of the 2nd day. Yes, some folks had a long drive and a paying job to get back to the next morning so we fell far short on the plan. But what we did get accomplished is likely one of the better and most comprehensive long range detector tests done in some time, and we've got the perfect excuse to come back for more later. The results speak volumes and validated our selection of course #1 for long range testing.
K Band
Any concerns one could have with the light traffic were clearly alleviated after completing the K-Band tests. The (3) Bels (RX65, STi-R, STi-R Plus) finished beside themselves with or without the Ka filtering options applied in this test. This stands to reason as Ka filtering would have little to no affect on K-Band performance (later, in the Ka testing, that would change). The (3) RedLines also finished together as well as the (2) 9500ix detectors on this band. The consistency between units of the same model indicates the traffic wasn't having a negative impact on our results due to the position of the radar and the course layout.
The majority of M3s and the venerable S7 horn in the old RX65 gave impressive results on K; however, the Valentine One is clearly no longer the "King of K Band" as it was once known. The results may have been different if Pop had been turned on but while the 3.892 held its own, the other two units didn't live up to Valentine's reputation. The SmartRadar, X50 Black and Pro 300, all new M4 based models, managed some very respectable numbers; however, the Pro 500, Passport IQ, and 9500ix did not fare as well, which makes sense considering they're made to be "quiet." In the end, the Whistlers wrapped up last place on K-Band (no surprise here either) but even so, provided more than adequate warning for our trap.
34.7 Ka Band
Now onto one of the scariest radars on the planet today, the Stalker DSR 2x in 34.7 Ka! Well, maybe not so scary in a straight line constant on test, but in any case, the Stalker 34.7 units are the best selling radars on the planet and by far the most common here in North America. So it stands to reason that this was the first Ka band that we attacked in our test.
What did we learn here? First and foremost… it's official… disabling Ka filtering on detectors with these options IMPROVES RANGE! The STi-R, STi-R Plus, V1s and RX65(S7) all had a significant improvement in detection range with their Ka filtering options turned off. Not only did their range improve but so did their consistency between runs, another important characteristic which is often overlooked. The Bel Pro 300 had only a marginal improvement in USA mode, but then we already knew that RDR is not disabled on this detector as part of the USA "package" (unlike the old RX65/S7 which shuts it down). We were hoping for a better show from the Pro 300 with its redesigned lens, but no dice there; its possible there are some quality control issues with this new unit as we've been told by a dealer that they've gotten an unusual number of returns.
Secondly the Escort 8500/X50 Black is a MONSTER on 34.7 Ka! Both copies finished right behind the King and his cousin… the STi-R and STi-R Plus on this band. Incredible that an M4 has been tweaked to this level that it whoops up on RedLines and V1s with Ka Guard turned off! Whatever changes Escort made in the Black Edition appear to be getting the job done.
Last but certainly not least, we saw an old bug creep back into the spotlight. Happya$$ was the first to call Escort's windshield mount M3 the "sleeping beauty" and it would have eclipsed the segmented/RDR-of STi-R Plus and possibly matched the King himself, segmented/RDR-off OG STi-R, on 34.7 Ka if not for one of it's characteristic moments. Yep… a random late alert starting with full blown rampup struck on one of it's three runs and cut it back to 6th place. Hopefully Escort will take a second look at this issue.
33.8 and 35.5 Ka Band
As stated earlier, the 33.8 and 35.5 tests were run on an abbreviated subset of detectors due to time constraints. We also only achieved one pass only with each detector tested. Three runs and an average would have been preferred, but in the real world you only get one chance against that cop hiding in the weeds!
The final contestants were all good on these bands, but the King… the OG STi-R… retained his title as the undefeated heavy weight long range champ. The Plus stayed close but the 3.893 Valentine One grabbed 2nd place on 35.5 which again makes us think that some tweaking has gone on at Valentine to improve on this band. The surprise performer from Ka 34.7, the 8500X50 Black, did not do as well on 33.8 but it still managed to nix the best RedLine on 35.5 which had another outbreak of the sleeping beauty bug.
We can tell you it ain't easy putting on a good test! Due diligence requires about $15K in equipment… good planning… plenty of preparation… lots of man hours… and (perhaps most difficult) finding the right course and getting everyone there. It didn't all work out as planned. The off-axis course proved to be inadequate for our purposes, but the long range course was everything we were looking for: progressive separation between units and consistent measurements between runs. There were some big surprises and probably a lot of what you expected in these results. If your favorite detector did well in our testing, that's great, but if it did not place as well as you would have liked, don't sweat it. After all, many radar detectors can provide ample range for most encounters and work fine even if they're not a top performer.
We as a community have a lot of individual experience to share when comparing various RD's; even though a big radar test is a good benchmark, everyone's encounters are unique and each RD will perform differently due to many variables such as variance in an individual RD sensitivity, variations in terrain which greatly alter detection range like desert vs heavy tree coverage, and even the weather. Everyone wants a top performer, but you can clearly see in this scenario any of these RD's would have given a save; it really comes down to personal preference and the type of radar encounters you have.
This unfortunately was not the all encompassing performance test we had planned. We missed two very important elements of what makes a detector great (although you may have caught glimpses here). That is the response characteristics of the detector against short duration Instant On, and the off-axis performance (think around the bend) tuning of the horn antenna inside the detector. On any given day, one or both of these aspects can outweigh the straight line detection performance (range) of your detector.
For those of you who would like to take a more in depth look at the results check out the link below:
We'd like to thank the nearby Hooters for serving us some great food afterwards!

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to this Twitch guide for Howling Abyss.
This is my first guide, so I really hope you will enjoy it.
I tought this guide would be a great help for people who don't play Twitch that often, but still end up with him in champion selection.
Remember that this is only a guide, don't be afraid to mix up items, but make sure you have a good balance between attack speed and attack damage.
Effective tactic
STEP 1: Try to use the bushes between you and the enemy as much as you can.
When you see your chance to get a kill, go in with AMBUSH -> VENOM CASK -> keep shooting and use EXPUNGE before someone ks your kill.
STEP 2: Repeat STEP 1 over and over again.
Be carefull
WARNING: If everything is going well and you start to carry the game, then this is the moment to be really carefull, cause you're gonna get sloppy.
No matter how fed you are when playing Twitch, you are still squishy as hell.
- So don't jump into a group of enemys, cause they can and will bring you down in 1sec.
You are NOT A TANK! But that's when BARRIER comes in handy.
- Let the enemy team engage first, or wait untill your tank/team engages.
Then make your move when some damage is done already.

- "The Windpeak Inn features the finest bard in all of Dawnstar. Me."
- ―Karita[src]
Karita is a Nord bard working at the Windpeak Inn in Dawnstar.
She is the daughter of Innkeeper Thoring. She will also mention that her mother died a while ago and that she is concerned for her father. Karita can be found singing songs for the regulars or playing an instrument.
When talking to Karita, she will mention that her mother was a graduate of the Bards College in Solitude and that she learned all of her songs from her mother. Like the majority of bards found throughout Skyrim, she can perform three songs upon request. According to her father Thoring, she has "her mother's voice."
When talking to Karita for the first time, she will mention the bad dreams her people have been having throughout the town of Dawnstar. After talking to a Dunmer priest Erandur inside the inn, the Daedric quest Waking Nightmare can be initiated.
Beasts of the seaEdit
Karita: "You beasts are the worst."
Stig: "Come now, dearie, surely we aren't all that bad."
Karita: "Just... leave me alone! I've brought your mead, now drink it and shut your filthy mouths."
Alding: "Oh, we've got other things in mind for our mouths, sweetie."
- "I envy you travelers. Dreams aren't affecting anyone not from here."
- "Sorry if my father seems a bit distracted. A lot's happened."
- "The Windpeak Inn features the finest bard in all of Dawnstar. Me."
- She is one of the few people who wear tavern clothes.
This section contains bugs related to Karita (Bard). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- Sometimes while Karita is brushing the floor with her broom and stops, the broom does not fully go away, so she walks around with a broom in her hand and when playing the flute, the broom will poke through the bottom part of her neck and out the other side.

Recruiting Children for Drug Trials
May 31, 2002
Researchers are said to be "in a frenzy" in search of youngsters to participate in clinical trials of new drugs. Teenagers, elementary school students and even newborns are in short supply compared to the numbers needed for the tests prior the marketing of new drugs.
- There are currently 194 medicines and vaccines in development for children.
- But experts say that over half the studies are in crisis because patient recruitment efforts are failing.
- Last year, nearly 60,000 children took part in trials to evaluate new medicines and study drugs already on the market.
- Some trials are offering cash, gift certificates, records and t-shirts to children as part of the recruiting process.
The shortage has been exacerbated by a 1997 federal law giving drug companies profitable extensions of their exclusive marketing rights for medicines in exchange for studying those medicines in children. The law was passed due to political pressure for new medicines be tested on kids.
The top five areas of pediatric drug testing last year were for cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular disease, psychiatric disorders and cystic fibrosis and asthma.

Redditor Krazy_Legs found this drunk man asleep in a running car at 3 AM.
Drunk drivers are so cute when they're asleep. (via Reddit)
Imagine you're coming home to your apartment at 3 in the morning. You find this man, asleep and non-responsive behind the wheel of a running car. What do you do? Obviously you take a picture. But one Massachusetts Redditor did more than that – he became a hero. Here's the story in his own words:
I found this guy passed out drunk with his car running outside of a bar at 3:00 am. The bars close at midnight where I am, so I tried to wake him up, but he just kept mumbling and continued to sleep. I decided to hide his keys in the backseat, just in case a cop came, and left him a note and some water. I realized once I was sober that a cop would probably just read the note and arrest him anyway, but at least I tried.
Here's the note in question:
He's the hero this guy definitely doesn't deserve. (via Reddit)
Putting the bottle of water in his steering wheel is an extra-nice touch. That guy's going to need it for his booze/exhaust fume hangover. Meanwhile, the Drunk Knight will stand ever vigilant, ready to save any and all drunk assholes from themselves.

June 10th, 2016
If you were among the 10 million people who tuned in to watch the Season Six premiere of Game of Thrones a couple of months back, you understand the appeal of a complex story that sweeps you into another world, where you want to know what happens next to both good and evil characters. In the role-playing video game based on Game of Thrones, the participant becomes one of those characters—something with potentially an even greater pull.
So it's easy to see how addiction to gaming—and especially to MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games—is a growing issue. In fact, "Internet Gaming Disorder" was considered for inclusion in the latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). It was left out, but noted as a "Condition for Further Study." Currently more than 150 million people in the US play video games, and depending on which study you consult, video gaming addiction rates range from 3 to 12 percent.
When my daughter Kelly went to college 11 years ago, over the course of about eight months she became totally engrossed in the online role-playing game Guild Wars. It became an addiction.
She was so engrossed that she quit going to class, never left her room, and only ate when someone brought food to her at her computer. The game was all she cared about. She had to get to the next level or her avatar might lose her battle gear, get attacked or even die. But it felt great if (by logging more game time) her character won special achievements and the game intensity increased. The emotional "high" came from winning a quest and advancing to the next level.
When we discovered what was going on and Kelly withdrew from college in her sophomore year, my husband and I were at a loss to know what to do. At the time, I couldn't find anyone at her school or any treatment facility professionals in the US who knew what to do about role-playing gaming addiction. We ended up sending Kelly to an inpatient treatment facility in Texas that had a special program for young adults, but we were disappointed with the results.
She came back home to Arizona and started outpatient therapy. Kelly had had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in first grade, and eventually was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in her mid-20s.
After our experience, it's no surprise to us that research has now shown that role-playing video games can be especially problematic for those with ASD. Studies also have indicated that 40 percent of gamers play to escape the real world. Kelly confirms that she used and continues to use games to be someone else—a strong fantasy character with magical powers to control her environment.
With outpatient therapy and discovering she could accomplish things in the real world, Kelly is no longer addicted. But games are still a big part of her life. As you might imagine, her dad and I are not big supporters of gaming, having seen how it can become an obsessive pastime to the detriment of other necessary or important activities.
But what if Kelly's love of games could be used to help her instead of hook her?
Games have been around since the beginning of recorded history and are a fundamental learning technique. These days, "gamification"—applying game design elements to teach, engage and motivate people, often in educational, therapeutic or work settings—is on the rise. Using game models, such as games for fitness or health apps for smartphones, has been shown to affect positive behavior change.
Games engage parts of the brain needed for critical thinking, judgment and memory. In addition to the cognitive benefits, playing video games with others can also offer social benefits, which can be particularly valuable for people with ASD.
Several websites offer lists of recommended games for people with autism. But most of the games currently available and recommended have been designed by educators and "neurotypicals," and are being used for children.
The games adolescents and adults with autism and ADHD want to play offer high-quality animation and sophisticated game strategies and mechanics. These gamers want to engage in an alternate universe where they can be the hero and slay the villain.
The challenge, then, is to create games that hold the interest of both children and adults with autism and can improve their ability to socialize with others and navigate the real world in the same way they can conquer obstacles in the game kingdom. These games will require vivid color and sound; high-definition, movie-quality graphics and animation; and most importantly, a storyline with universal appeal, like Game of Thrones.

Do We Need "Trigger Warnings" for Depictions of Drug Use?
In Nunatsiavut in Northern Canada, a Community Faces the Mental Health Impact of Climate Change
Delivering Scientific Innovation for Autism, the venture philanthropy affiliate of Autism Speaks, is collaborating with Akili Interactive Labs to develop a video game platform for children with high-functioning autism and ADHD.
A game that could improve problem solving, social interaction and self-regulation could have a significant impact on the quality of life for people with autism.
Of course, people can become addicted to even the most positive games. While more research is needed on the best use of games for those with autism and ADHD, in the meantime, those who are close to the gamers need to pay close attention to what effect—good or bad—playing is having on their loved ones.
My daughter would welcome a game that could reward her with experience points for completing daily activities, such as cleaning up the kitchen or scheduling appointments. She has some terrific ideas based on her experience with Guild Wars, and the seven games she plays on her phone daily, such as Zen Koi.
Game company educators, psychologists and programmers would benefit from involving young adults with autism and ADHD in game design.
The result could be a game every parent or relative would gladly buy.

Doctoral Candidate in Anthropology Awarded 2016-2017 Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship
Melissa Krug, a doctoral candidate in Anthropology, has been awarded a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship for the 2016-2017 academic year. The award funds Melissa's travel to Peru where she will engage in interviews, observations, questionnaires, and informal conversations with artisans and staff at a fair-trade distribution organization in Lima. For her dissertation entitled Fair Trade and the Prospects for Quechua Language and Culture in Peru, Melissa will study how the economic opportunities afforded by fair trade can encourage indigenous Peruvians from inland mountainous regions to embrace, rather than be stigmatized by, their native Quechua language and customs in the coastal urban center of Lima. Focused on language in the context of fair trade, this study will contribute to the understanding of connections between participation in the global economy and language endangerment, as well as the ways in which fair trade can be strengthened and better implemented to encourage the maintenance of indigenous languages and cultures. Congratulations, Melissa!

After a lot of dilly dallying over the years, I finally made my way to a Driving School some weeks ago. My expectations? Learning to drive would be a breeze. After all, I could drive an automatic car (that is, when I managed to get my husband's hand off the steering wheel and shoo away his acrobatic foot from the foot pedals!).
If you took your driving lessons in Kenya, specifically the city of Nairobi, you probably know how my story goes. And this is the one besides the maddening Nairobi traffic jams, the crazy Matatu drivers and sightless pedestrians. Not to mention increasingly narrow roads (I mean how do they expect anyone to navigate inch-thin turns and curves!), cheeky potholes and many roadwork in progress.
Back to my "academy", I found out that the teaching areas were made up of 2 rooms – boarded up partitions. At least they had managed to make the reception look inviting. But beyond the reception, the theory room was in a dilapidated sorry state, with squeaky wooden benches (in this day and age), old tables, toy cars that came apart with one look, a persistent smelly odor from the washrooms… you can tell my expectations were high.
The teaching style was the first-come-first-taught kind of thing; there was no set time when classes would begin. The students who walked in late (again, "late" was relative) were meant to catch up as the classes' progressed over the days. Yes, my attendance was almost 100%. Most people averaged 50%, others just showed up for one class or so.
My biggest shocker was yet to come.
For me it made training-sense to have one regular driving instructor and one designated car. And a regular hour. But the man in charge of the fleet did not agree. It was a daily battle of wits.
Next was my driving instructor. Apparently, there was an unwritten code of daily rewards. The one hour spent training me was such a big sacrifice on his part that it deserved a "thank you lunch". Daily. Forget that I had paid for the course. I quickly found out that all other driving instructors asked, nay, demanded, to be given lunch money as well. I received several lectures from a couple of them about the importance of taking care of one's driver so that he can teach you well. Huh!!!??
The most amazing thing was the passion with which they believed their stuff. They had actually developed a whole theory that made bribery sound like the truest thing to do. And true to word, the students who did not "treat their drivers well" ended up doing daily tours along the streets of the city, with quiet, passionless, sulking instructors by their side. Extracting an answer from them, which was my only way to learn, was like extracting a tooth…delicate and painful.
Of course I did learn to drive a manual car, a miracle in itself.
But the most important thing I came away with was that in life, if I want to learn how to drive, (or achieve any sort of goal) I must sit on the driver's seat. However hard, obnoxious, negative, aggravating, annoying or plain insane my circumstances became, I did not have the luxury of walking out of that car. I had come to get my license. And get it, I would. Success was not an option, it was the only thing.
I also learned that I do not learn by receiving instructions only but by practicing what was taught. Some things had to become second nature to me, and that could only happen by continuous application. Like knowing my engine well enough to know when to change gears; I have to tune my ears to the usual.
For me to be successful, I have to seek alternative routes when the obvious ones refuse to yield expected results. So sometimes, it's through sheer gritting of teeth, being humble and asking questions, that gets me there.
Character does not mean the absence of personal dignity aka being a good person does not equate to being dumb. So even in humility, am not a walk-over. I live in full wisdom, knowing when to engage and when to let it go, when to accelerate and when to pat the breaks. Through it all, I must hold my ground and refuse to indulge in things that cross my moral boundaries. Character is irreplaceable and unbeatable. And so is toughness.
Finally, I was reminded, yet again that without divine intervention, I can never get far in this life. You see, I almost failed my driving exam. I did not "reward" my driver; and so he took it upon himself not to teach me everything he should have. And one of the very things he omitted was the very thing that I was tested on. I passed the test by sheer grace. In life, I will need many miracles because I will not do things the way many people do them. Am unusual and unique. So I do good to cultivate my friendship with the Giver of miracles.
Any fellow learners out there? 🙂

Redistributive Taxation, Democracy and Growth
The recent theorical literature on the political economy of growth displays contrasting findings on the nature of the political link between income inequality and growth. In this paper, we explain this contrast and argue that in a democracy, when redistribution is in the form of government expenditure on education, and government expenditure does not crowd out private expenditures by altruistic agents, a negative relation between inequality and growth emerges in equilibrium.
