Eight takes testing, pretty seriously of course and today not only an opportunity to test but also for Fenris to gets hands on learning how the drones work. There are shapes and sizes of them never before seen by human(or god) eyes. Some used weaponry who's muzzle report alone was potentially lethal to bystanders, others used weapons fired by incredibly toxic chemicals and still others hadn't been seen just because they had yet to be needed. JagdPanzers, Hetzers, AADs and Hellcats. Four entirely new looking pieces of equipment, and the most difficult to control or so Eight surmised. This then, was sort of a big fucking deal. As if the rail cars worth of spare parts, ammunition, logistical drones, the actual combat drones themselves, old cars, a beat up MRAP, a pair of rusty M113s and sections of armor replicating everything from an abrahms to rumored black projects. Then again this is eight, how surprised are you really?
The old lead mine has been littered with targets at different elevations, ranges, angles and varying states of cover provided by massive boulders. Theres a slight drizzle, and a cool breeze but the wind is calm and Eight seems satisfied enough with the conditions. "Fenris, for the duration of the live fire portion of this test. You will need to remain either in the bunker, or in your armor. These weapons are all very dangerous."There was a bunker of course, a neat concrete bunker dug into the mine wall which served as if nothing else a lovely example of Eight's skill as an actual underground construction specialist. A bomb shelter, may be a little more accurate of course. Anywho, Eight turns, offering Fenris a tablet. "I'd rather not give you cancer, or destroy your nervous system."
Fenris has been here before. Well to the mine. He examines the tablet to see what he's got displayed. "That'd be appreciated, Eight. I think I'll get into the armor just to get used to using it some more." And it is a thing that takes getting used to. "What will you be testing?"
"Hellcat Mk.3 Mod.78 Ultra long distance anti-material interdiction platforms and the 42mm ultra high velocity caseless magnetically stabilized cannon. Aerial Assault Drone Mk.2 Mod 5, the Hetzer MK.1 Mod.7 and the JagdPanzer Mk.1 Mod.3. All of these drones utilize Octanitrocubane derived weaponry, which is a class twelve cancer causing agent in addition to causing Toxic Shock, Nervous system degredation, blistering, respiratory failure and degredation of the blood brain barrier."Lovely then, or so Eight offers."We will begin a preliminary testing with the platform with the most basic testing procedure today, the Hellcat Mk.3 Mod.78, we need real world ballistics testing to ensure our modeling is accurate in it's prediction of penetration."
Eight already has Fenris's brain scan, so maaaybe it shouldn't be a surprise. The moment he grabs onto that tablet, the link is made though. Pips begin to resolve from thin air, blue pips over Eight and the combat drones, Green pips over the mindless logistics drones and bright red pips floating in space above the various targets. Already named sequentially. "If you are ready to begin, armor up and simply ask the drones by name to do what you desire. In this case, this is why all the units are named. In this case, "Kill'em all" and "God Sends Death". Target fifteen and sixteen respectively for their initial verification shot if you please."
Fenris nods and climbs into the armor. He wonders what designation Eight has for this thing. Something suitably impressive he's sure. "Kill'em All, engage target Fifteen. God Sends Death, engage target sixteen." He calls out, watching the heads up display light up with information as they respond.
These are oddballs for Eight, being as they're primarily wheeled and more "tanklike" than most. The two glide silently into position, before twisting their wheels outwards and pressing them out along extendable legs. Building neat little firing positions. «Kill'em All, confirmed target fifteen.» «God Sends death, confirmed target Sixteen.» The pair swivel their turrets in perfect unison, before that diamond shaped barrel cover splits open lengthwise to expose the inner fluted gunbarrel itself. Then comes an odd high pitch wine, before theres a flash brighter than the sun and for a moment nothing. The suit blacks out the visual sensors, blanks the auditory sensors for just a moment but the results are jarring. It's screaming alerts about a 340decible sound wave, and a pressure spike of over 20 atmospheres, a flash of light bright enough to have caused the suit's cameras to overvolt trying to keep up with it. Theres a neat donut of dense white mist hauling ass downrange as pretty dirt, dust and gravel rains down from overhead.
Downrange there are now two perfectly pristine 42mm holes in the pair of those M117 hulls. "Confirmed target hit, confirmed penetration. Preliminary testing successful, next up are targets seventeen and eighteen. At your leisure Fenris."amidst a rain of warnings about the toxicity of the atmosphere outside that suit. No shit Eight said these things were nasty, right?
Fenris glances at the warnings. Goodness. What are those things shooting? DU Rounds? Still, quite impressive. "Kill'em all, Enage target seventeen. Maximum force. God Sends Death, suppress target eighteen." He's curious how they'll respond to added parameters.
«God Sends Death, confirmed target suppression» «Kill'em All, confirm enguage with prejudice.» They have, voices even. Slight intonational differences, like twins but it is there. God Sends Death, swivels the 7.62 machinegun mounted atop the turret arounds and begins pounding neat little five round bursts down range. It's not quite suppression though because well, most of them are infact hitting. It's twin brother begins to charge, as a dense layer of mist begins forming around that cannon barrel. Growing as that whine grows louder and louder, until..the suit turns dark and silent. When systems return, there are chunks of that armor mockup hurtling in every direction and a landslide of freshly shattered gravel surging foreward from the cliff face behind. «Kill'em all, Ammunition depleted. Critical overtemp, initiating emergency purge.» The turret swings skyward, before with an audible grunt of machinery the barrel is unlocked and it goes sliding back into the turret and out the backside into the dirt. Red hot and deforming in real time, as logistics ants scurry to bring a replacement. "Notice that like a loving dog, the Drones will damage themselves to carry out your orders. If you're unsure, they will advise you as needed. Anyway, target killed. Are you ready for test two, field trials of breaching explosives?" Eight is, well unflustered entirely and apparently utterly unmoved by any of the incredible forces at work here. Then again, Eight built these. "Or do you have questions?"
"Breaching exposives?" Fenris cants his head slightly. "How are those used? Do the drones have them or are they on other platforms?" The wolf-god shifts in his armor, causing the armor to shuffle slightly. This thing is getting really responsive.
"They are combat engineering platforms. They build, destroy, breach, repair and fight if necessary. They can also disable explosives, demine and so fourth. They carry explosives on them, which are binary in nature for safety's sake."Eight half turns, as "Grave Breaker" and "End of All things" lumber past. They're built with more obvious reinforcement, Theres a single large bore autocannon and a pair of shotguns below but mostly they seem derived more for taking hits than giving them out. Their front set of legs end in a closed "pincer for walking and there are pedipalp sort've arms tucked upfront under those guns. Weaponized construction machinery then, as they do bear a passing resemblance to the mining drones Eight's regular company uses. "This time tell them the end result you want, and let them figure out how to do it. The more specific you are, the more rigid they become. These drones are all not new, they know their jobs so try to give them room. I think clearing those M117s would be a good start, don't you agree?"
"Grave Breaker, End of All things, I need a covered entry point on building three." That'll be interesting. He wants a low risk approach. Fenris can move fast but he doesn't like getting shot at. Doubly so now.
Neither are quiet, or fast, or particularly interesting to watch as they trundle their way over to building three. End of all things takes up, well security it seems as Grave Breaker circles around to an open wall and goes to work. It drills a series of holes at an angle through the concrete, before squirting what looks like expanding foam in the bore holes before running it in a circle to connect all the points and then into a central spoked wheel design. Then it snags a rather considerable rock, covers it in foam and reaches around the corner of the building to set it against the front door. Then the two scuttle a short distance before…the rock explodes and shatters the glass infront of the building. A false breach.
The wall erupts in gravel and rolls inwards to create a particularly spacious entry point which both drones pile through without hesitation. Theres a series of rather serious booms following shortly thereafter, as the pair put those 4 bore shotguns to work on cardboard targets inside the house. «Beachhead secured, entry point is safe for traffic» "They'll drop that house, just as easily as breach it you realize. The Hetzer series are all amongst my most clever drones due to whats asked of them."
"More advanced programming? Or just more advanced applications of it?" Fenris watches their deconstruction of the wall with considerable interest, and quite closely thanks to the visual enhancements afforded him by the armor.
«Significantly more processing power, very different breed of AI. They are as close to sentient as I am comfortable making, they are very clever but they have to be."Eight watches passively"They do blasting, explosives handling, construction, deconstruction, booby trapping, breaching, repairing drones in the field, and then they can and will also fight if necessary but their armament is more centered around utility than a dedicated assault drone of some kind. Send them in pairs, and they can keep one another repaired. They can blast and excavate tunnels, plant explosives and then remotely trigger them for instance? They are also enormously reinforced to make them blast resistant, just keep in mind they are slow and not equipped for a prolonged firefight at range. Unless you order them to do otherwise however, they will usually avoid a straight up fair fight. They integrate well with JagdPanzers, JagdTigers and King Tigers for this reason."
"They need cover, just like actual combat engineers." Fenris observes. He's seen Eight's combat drones in action and here in practice. He knows covering fire is not usually something they're lacking for. "Well that's incredibly useful. I don't recall seeing them before. Are they knew?"
"What have we needed engineers to do in our previous endeavors, friend Fenris? Same for the Hellcats, what foe has needed the use of either of those specific units before? The Hellcats overpenetrate lightly armored targets and their use is otherwise very hazardous for humans and similar. These are very specialized units, all I've needed was various overwatch drones and assault drones."The engineers begin a slow trundle back behind the firing line, utterly unhurried. "We also have the Aerial Assault drone and the JagdPanzers to test, what shall we do next friend Fenris I have targets allocated for both."
"Let us see how your Aerial drones fare. I saw the footage of them in action against HYDRA so I'm quite eager to see them up close. Despite not knowing the nature of the attack your drones handled HYDRA's forces quite well." Eight believes in being prepared, Fenris knows. It often pays off.
"The names are "Grudge fuck" and "Acceptable collateral Damage", targets twenty one to thirty five are all within their envelope. I would suggest you ask for maximum aggression, if you want a show."The aerial birds are, well circling somewhere rather far off judging by the pips set against the sky. Then again it's hard to tell exactly how big they are to begin with, those overwatch drones tend to be pretty huge but these are not designed with a super long loiter time in mind right?
Okay, time to see how well the integrated targetting systems work. "Grudge Fuck, Acceptable Collater Damage, attack the currently designated target with maximum aggression." He wants to see that thing turned to slag. Or whatever these things can manage. It should be quite a fireworks show. Eight's demonstrations usually are.
«Grudge Fuck, message received and understood. » «Acceptable COllateral Damage, Message received and understood» yet for long moments, not a thing happens. Then one swings into view for a lazy looking gun run, and yeah theres some what sounds like fifty call gunfire but it's sort've a let down. Just as the drone begins to pull away to the west, comes it's twin. Theres a great blur of motion, as a wingtip sweeps through the space between Fenris and Eight. The drone rolls neatly, about the size of a cessna maybe? Belly doors swinging open as it rolls downwards at the last minute to cut the stores on it's wings and sufficient number of rockets come -dumping- out of that weapons bay that its too many to count. It's twin has banked hard, and tilted those wings up to come to a hover as it turns to orient itself towards the target. As soon as it's sibling races over the target area it too opens fire, with rockets and machinegun fire and all at once the rockets zip and spiral and lodge themselves into whatever they strike. Then, they burst and a hazy almost glowing bright cloud begins to spread outward.
Then those wing stores hit, mother fucking napalm. It hits the atomized fuel, which cooks off in a magnificent flash followed by a three hundred or so foot tall fireball before giving way to smoke as air rushes into the vacated area. Forming a neat little mushroom cloud, but the pair dont stop. Orbiting swiftly in perfect timing, as they dump guns into the target area. THen those wings rotate foreward and the last drone drops those wing stores into the area because fuck you have more napalm. "They can carry laser guided weaponry, but I tend to prefer dumbfire precision ordinance over guided weaponry. Less to hack."
"Makes sense." Fenris nods. There are ways to mess with Laser Guided weaponry too, but it's a lot harder… and you have to know that it's out there. Frequently the first inkling that someone has one is when it hits. Well, if it's done right at any rate. "That's quite impressive. The JagdPanzers are up next I believe? Would you care to do the honors or shall I?"
"I've got it."Not that Eight needs to verbalize it's will, the smoke hasn't even fully cleared when the next pair amble up to the firing line. They look like the big 75 ton JagdTigers, just…smaller at a mere 15 tons. Compact car sized, and decidedly even more arachnid in their movement. Even at rest they, shift around and it looks more like giant spiders in armor than anything mechanical. This pair would be "Jolly Roger" and "Rat Smasher" judging by the appropriate cartoon nose art eight's painted. These guys also have "pincers" at the pedipalps curiously enough, but otherwise it's just a shrunken version of the original it seems.
Then the pair are off, and yeah holy shit they scuttle at a pretty impressive rate. Leaping obstacles as the two shift and move in the sort've co-ordinated pack fashion a wolf can truly appreciate. They use cover, bounding their way across the open ground until they get into the field of wrecked cars Eight keeps here for these kinds of things. The pair erupt in perfect time, belting out a continious sort've roar from a combined set of four miniguns 12.5 High velocity caseless guns. Working in perfect time to essentially render the red cars into so much mulch, before hitting those grenade dispensers to vanish in a cloud of smoke. Cover for the two to scuttle up the quarry wall, whilst pausing occasionally to belt out a solo 36mm cannon round before they exit the area entirely. "Testing complete, I'm quite satisfied unless there is anything else you want to see?"
"I don't think so. That was both fun and quite impressive." Fenris is a warrior after all. He enjoys watching this kind of thing. Deity or not (more not at the moment). "What's your opinion in general?"
"I am pleased, but wish I had the resources to find an alternative to Octanitrocubane. It's toxic and very corrosive, but it also has the highest explosive velocity of any known substance. Unfortunately, I'm a blasting engineer, a mechanical engineer, a mining engineer, a software engineer and so on but I am not a chemical engineer and I have neither the money nor the labratory to discover anything less toxic."Eight peers around curiously for a moment "You can safely exit your armor if you wish, Fenris."
The hatch pops on the armor and it takes a moment for Fenris to wriggle out and observe the scene without the armor's sensors. "Mmmmmm. I wonder… you've met Pepper Potts have you not? I wonder if her… unique friends might help."
"It is comparable to a nuclear weapon in large amounts, as the quantity compounds the effect. Humans having a nearly nuclear weapon, without fallout or nuclear stigma. Tell me how that seems like a good idea? Even the Hellcat cannon only uses one gram of the refined product held in suspension with aerogel, I allow only King TIgers to use wholly Octanitrocubane weaponry and I have never used them here or in major population centers obviously. It would have caused massive loss of civilian life and further issues downwind of the target area for about a day."Eight turns, watching the JagdPanzers scuttle back into their respective little bays to be unloaded and powered down. "It's use as a very short term, highly lethal chemical weapon is also not without noting."
"Mmmm. That does sound like a compound that it would be good to move away from if possible." Fenris isn't sure how that might be done, but he knows that there are some very clever people out there with particular areas of expertise. Such a thing might be possible.
"In the mean time, the scientific community believes it to be impossible to manufacture more than a few atoms of the compound at a time. It is a hidden, secretive weapon which they have no defense against. The 320mm of the King Tiger was manufactured precisely, to be able to lob the six hundred pound payload just barely far enough to allow the King Tigers to survive the explosion. This is the real reason they are so very heavily armored, to ensure they survive their own weaponry. The effect would be like a medium yield tactical nuclear weapon."Eight lets that sink in, it built a weapon with an explosive velocity substantially higher than a nuclear weapon and it can make as much as it wants. "I am happy to help humnans construct things, but I am very reluctant to allow them to share in my own technology."
"Understandable. Those humans who have built things on a similar scale often share like reservations." Fenris notes, considering that manner of weaponry. This used to be the province of the gods. No longer.
"I will help them, but my next immediate project does not require anything of the sort. Lets clean up, and get going. I have work to do after all."Eight steps aside and well, gets right back to it.

Day 13- Healthy Food
On day 13 of this blog series, I am very thankful for the fact that I have healthy food to eat. There are people in the world who are not lucky enough to have access to any sort of nutrition at all, so the fact that I have access to foods from all over the world, I am truly grateful. I never take this fact for granted. When most people think of those who have no food, and are hungry, they think of some far off location in a foreign country, while all the while right under our noses, there are people in the USA who do not even get 3 meals a day, let alone one on most days. This makes me so sad considering the wealth that surrounds us all. Please help by contributing food to your local food bank. I also recommend looking into charities that feed children and families in your local area. Charity begins at home, and a country is only strong when the basic needs of everyone in it are met. We are all in this together, and each of us are trying to survive. Help someone in need survive another day by filling their belly with the basic need of food. To find a local food bank please visit Feeding America.Donate today, and give someone a chance. Thank you!
Here are some actual photos I have snapped from my personal Instagram account over the years of the types of meals I include in my healthy eating routine….
Some of my favorite types of meals that I eat are….
What are you thankful for today? I hope you are thankful for having food to eat. Comment below and share how you have helped someone in need.
Until Next Post,
Have a beautiful day.

Zarif says B-Team drags U.S. out of negotiating table and plotting for war
TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said that the "B-Team" dragged the U.S. out of the negotiating table and plotting for war.
Wanna know why those with proven record of detesting diplomacy are suddenly interested in talks?— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) June 25, 2019
Just read @AmbJohnBolton's 2017 recipe for destroying the #JCPOA: https://t.co/beCZByEaCT
Iran never left the negotiation table. #B_Team dragged the U.S. out, while plotting for war. pic.twitter.com/be3pKvoACq
"Iran never left the negotiation table. #B_Team dragged the U.S. out, while plotting for war," he tweeted on Tuesday.
He also posted a link of an article wrote by U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton and said, "Wanna know why those with proven record of detesting diplomacy are suddenly interested in talks?
Just read @AmbJohnBolton's 2017 recipe for destroying the #JCPOA."
The B-Team includes Bolton, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, and UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed.
Zarif had previously warned that the B-Team could goad Trump into a war with Tehran.
In an article titled "How to get out of the Iran nuclear deal" published by National Review on August 28, 2017, Bolton presented a campaign plan to abrogate the deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
"Early, quiet consultations with key players such as the U.K., France, Germany, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, to tell them we are going to abrogate the deal based on outright violations and other unacceptable Iranian behavior, and seek their input," Bolton introduced as the first step.
As the second step, he said, "Prepare the documented strategic case for withdrawal through a detailed white paper (including declassified intelligence as appropriate) explaining why the deal is harmful to U.S. national interests, how Iran has violated it, and why Iran's behavior more broadly has only worsened since the deal was agreed."
"A greatly expanded diplomatic campaign should immediately follow the announcement, especially in Europe and the Middle East, and we should ensure continued emphasis on the Iran threat as a top diplomatic and strategic priority," he added as the third step.
And as the last step of his plan, Bolton said, "Develop and execute Congressional and public diplomacy efforts to build domestic and foreign support."
Elsewhere in his article he wrote, "Iran is not likely to seek further negotiations once the JCPOA is abrogated, but the Administration may wish to consider rhetorically leaving that possibility open in order to demonstrate Iran's actual underlying intention to develop deliverable nuclear weapons, an intention that has never flagged."

We don't know yet to where Breiden Fehoko will transfer. In less than two weeks, though, that will change.
According to 247Sports.com, and as the player hinted at on his personal Twitter account, Fehoko will commit to his new college football program on Monday, April 17. The defensive tackle decided to transfer from Texas Tech earlier this offseason.
April 17
— Breiden Fehoko (@breidenfehoko4) April 3, 2017
As for potential landing spots, Fehoko has already taken official visits to a pair of SEC schools (Auburn, LSU) as well as one from the ACC (Louisville). Prior to making a final decision, he'll make an official visit to Georgia as well.
It's thought that LSU is at least a slight, if not prohibitive favorite to land the talented tackle.
Regardless of where the 6-3, 287-pound lineman ultimately lands, he'll have to sit out the 2017 season to satisfy NCAA transfer bylaws. He would then have two seasons of eligibility remaining beginning in 2018.
A four-star member of the Red Raiders' 2015 recruiting class, Fehoko was rated as the No. 8 tackle in the country; the No. 2 player at any position in the state of Hawaii; and the No. 50 player overall on 247Sports.com's composite board. He was easily the highest-rated player in Tech's class that year.
In two seasons in Lubbock, Fehoko started all 25 games for the Red Raiders. He led the team in quarterback hurries with five last season.

It seems that this patch has no reviewers specified. If you are unsure who can review your patch, please check this wiki page and see if anyone can be added: https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/maintainers_reviewers/
This is a patch which is a part of the integration of Exactness into EFL. D7590 is the code importation into the tree. This patch is the integration into meson.
Soon the part of the 'make check'. I plan to use 'ninja test' and an option to enable it only if wanted. Is it ok? Do you know if there is a way to extract the -j flag so I can give it to Exactness? In autotools, I was using MAKE_FLAGS. Is there an equivalent in meson?
Please merge into D7590 to make it a buildable patch. The integration into nin ja test can come as separate commit.
@bu5hm4n, any good tips for the parallel jobs passing? Ninja does not use -j the same way make does. As far as I can see meson test does execute all tests in parallel. The problem here is that exactness would be only one test in the view of meson but it would run a lot tests on its own.
Something seems wrong here. When I build and install efl I have the exactness binaries around but they fail to execute:
exactness: error while loading shared libraries: libexactness.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Hi Stefan,
What you tell now is weird. I compiled all after having removed my installation and it works well. Maybe it needs ldconfig?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of some eQL that I could use in a report to bring back documents/people that have a new line/s (blank returns) in one of their attributes? We have some free text attributes and users are pasting in text with blank lines in it, and I would really like a report to highlight these so that Document Control can correct the objects and keep eB as tidy and concise as possible.
Many thanks,
eQL treats empty values and white space the same as NULLs. To find these values use:
. . .
Attributes["Global", "Comments"].Value IS NULL
However, this will return values that are truly NULL, those that have only white space and those that are empty. Note that if you use the form TRIM(Attributes["Global", "Comments"].Value) = '', it won't find anything, even if you have values that TRIM to an empty string. To differentiate between NULL, empty and whitespace you need to use a SQL query.
Eric Rajala | Professional Services Consultant
Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Email: email@example.com
Answer Verified By: julie_beck
One more thing: if the attribute is a Memo type, TRIM(Attributes["Global", "Comments"].Value) = '' will return an error.
Thank you Eric. I tried this and couldn't get it to work via eQL so I'll try via SQL. Thanks for your help.

The French company Ligne Roset launched Backpack at the international design fair imm cologne.
Backpack is an outdoor seating collection which includes a lounge armchair and a two seats sofa. Inspired by the world of sportware and camping, Backpack is an informal seat; it has an aluminum painted frame and – instead of the usual cushions – there is a long sack made of waterproof rubber fabric.
Two cushions are inserted into it. The sack takes its final shape thanks to the metal frame and a buckle closes it. This element creates a recognizable detail in the rear-side view fastening the excess part of the bag. The real innovation has been to simplify the upholstered part achieving an object which really express its outdoor and informal nature.

Most of the companies we've spotlighted on this list are ones that produce the food themselves. They may be companies that are dedicated to natural products, and they may be dedicated to health and wellness, but they sell what they make. The company we're spotlighting today is a little different. It's an aquarium. The Monterey Bay Aquarium to be exact.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium's focus is still on healthy natural foods and wellness, but it goes beyond that. They've created a list of businesses that catch and/or sell fish responsibly in order to protect the natural habitats that exist within our oceans. Their list helps consumers and other businesses make healthy choices for consumption and smart choices to guarantee thriving oceans. The list points out which seafood items are "best choices," "good alternatives," and which ones to "avoid." They are taking on the responsibility of educating consumers so that together we can create an environment that allows for sustainable, responsible fishing for years to come.
You may not know it, but at least 85% of the world's fisheries are fished to capacity or over-fished completely. If the amount of fish continue to dwindle our oceans biospheres will die, which could be disastrous for life as we know it. Check out some of these documentaries to learn the truth regarding the delicate ecosystems within our oceans, and how quickly mankind is destroying them.
We appreciate the work this organization is putting in to protect our planet's most valuable resource. Thank you Monterey Bay Aquarium!

Hi powellchris42,
Wonderful for you to post this important information! The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a great place to visit and that aquarium is on the visiting list for many who are in the area.
But, as you say, they go one step farther by creating their list of "businesses that catch and/or sell fish responsibly in order to protect the natural habitats that exist within our oceans". This is something that many will find informative, especially when shopping or in dining out.

If you're interested in knowing more about enzymes and the way that they work as well as some other subjects in biology, then you need to have a look at the Udemy course on GCSE Biology. In journal style papers there's virtually no circumstance where the findings of somebody else can't be expressed in your words with a suitable citation of the source. Make sure you select your words correctly and wisely.
You may think that they'd die. However, once the substrate enters the active website, its master coursework in australia shape is altered so the substrate now fits exactly. Never mind it will become around.
When it has to do with working with professionals, your best option would be with us. If you've completed any work on organic reaction mechanisms in any respect, then it is very obvious what's going to take place. The laboratory experience is a significant part of the class.
All bonds seem to link atoms through a sharing of or an endeavor to share electrons. The distinction is the activation energy necessary for the reaction to occur. The bending of such bonds decreases the sum of energy, which is typically thermal, needed to commence the reaction.
It's largely composed of specialized RNA referred to as https://au.payforessay.net/ ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in addition to dozens of distinct proteins (the precise number varies slightly between species). Cell proliferation is accomplished by way of cell division in which an present cell functions as the precise blueprint for its progeny. Brevity is essential.
A wolf pack is quite organized. Sounds created by the wolf may really be a combo of sounds like a bark-howl or growl-bark. When wolves from outside the pack smell these scents, they know an area is already occupied.
In 1 example, the final product is dependent on the successful completion of five reactions, each mediated by a particular enzyme. You're able to observe some instant alterations. Environmental conditions can impact an enzyme's active site and, thus, the speed at which a chemical reaction can proceed.
An appreciable portion of the phenotypic variation in a population is due to genotypic variation. Major metabolic pathways like the citric acid cycle use this mechanism. Another element that might have affected the experiment might have become the movement of the reacting mixture constant.
The first job https://my.gwu.edu/ to accomplish as you start the practice of writing is to order and organize the info you would like to present. The theory behind using mnemonics is to encode difficult-to-remember data in a way which is much simpler to remember. After all, if you prefer to modify something, you've got to place some work into it.
Definitions of Substrate Biology
Lactose intolerant folks will need to drink milk that's been lactose reduced. After the hydrocarbon chain comprises a double bond, the fatty acid is believed to be unsaturated. Most enzymes arrive in glycerol solution for a storage buffer, but enzymes don't get the job done well in the existence of high glycerol concentration.
When the reaction has occurred, the substrate is currently chemically different, and is known as the item. The all-natural raw materials in Vidi Funda are proper for animal and human consumption and don't contain any heavy metals. This reactant substance is known as substrate, and it's specialized for one sort of reaction or a couple of reactions.
The Tried and True Method for Substrate Biology in Step by Step Detail
This procedure for binding at the same site to cause an effect at a distance is known as allostery. The active website is made from residues at the binding website. It is only a small part of the total enzyme volume.
It's sometimes beneficial to have the ability to deduce which substrate is used in a individual's metabolism at a particular moment. These chemical reactions may be plenty of fun when you're in a cell, but it requires a lot of energy to have them started. While restriction enzymes cut site-specifically a lot of the moment, prolonged incubation times can cause star activity, which is cutting at sites which are alike, but distinct from their usual digestion websites.
Without this enzyme function ATP cannot be formed. A cofactor is vital for the operation of an enzyme. Thus, it is inhibited.
Uses of enzymes aren't purely scientific. They are a common way that the body turns off enzymes. They function to reduce the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.
The Benefits of Substrate Biology
Explain your answer, dependent on what you know more about the substrate of peptidase. Competitive inhibition increases the quantity of substrate needed to attain maximum rate of catalysis. This is known as enzyme-substrate specificity.
The macromolecules are composed of protein, or within a few situations, RNA. Enzymology is riddled with unique units because of bad standardisation earlier on. Oxidative phosphorylation refers to a form of phosphorylation that employs the energy released from the electron transport chain to create ATP.
The Downside Risk of Substrate Biology
Any alteration in the amount of merchandise formed over a predetermined period of clip will be contingent on the level of enzyme nowadays. It's an heteromorphic life cycle, where the gametophytes and sporophytes are alike in shape. Subsequently, the form of the Michaelis-Menten Curve is going to be altered.
Your whole body removes lactic acid with the aid of lactate dehydrogenase. Unique tissues contain calcium in various concentrations. Cleavage is not going to occur within this case because both the strands of DNA are methylated so it is not going to allow restriction endonuclease to decrease its own strand.
This permits a scientist to pick from quite a few places to decrease the plasmid with a restriction enzyme. From time to time, however, you're find incompatibility in the reaction conditions between both enzymes, and within this event the workaround is to use the enzymes sequentially. Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria and supply a form of defense mechanism known as the restriction modification system.
For instance, the yeast put in the hot water didn't react at all in the very first experiment and just a minor amount in the second. Its important to understand what types of foods are enzymes rich and how they ought to be consumed. To begin with, you want an egg, and you've got to crack the egg, mix this up, and stir it while cooking.
Lab teaches contemporary practices. Neuroscientists have set up a number of guidelines or criteria to show that a chemical is truly a neurotransmitter. Type II restriction enzymes, by comparison, are heavily utilized in recombinant DNA methods.

Report evaluates emerging retailing trends and offers actionable insights to help hoteliers win more customers with an interactive, intelligent, connected retailing strategySabre Corporation released a new travel trend report today that outlines a clear path for hoteliers to successfully retail to modern travelers. Sabre's report, The Future of Hotel Booking – A Guide to Hotel Retailing, explores recent technological innovations within retail, tech, media and travel industries and offers practical, actionable recommendations to help hotels apply these practices to a successful retailing strategy.
The report identifies 10 distinct trends powered by technology within three key focus areas – World as Media, Intimate Intelligence and Instant Service – and examines the applications to the hospitality industry.
The explosion of consumer-facing technology services has multiplied the paths to purchase and inundated consumers with a flood of information from price comparisons and reviews to promotions and deals. While this rapidly expanding travel marketplace is an advantage to travelers, it presents a challenge for hotel brands looking to connect with their guests in a meaningful way, particularly when it comes to booking a stay. As a result, hotels must develop retailing strategies across channels including online, social media, mobile apps and aggregation websites to meet connected travelers' growing demand for interactive, personal and immediate service and offerings.
"Technology presents the single largest untapped opportunity in the hospitality industry today," said Alex Alt, president of Sabre Hospitality Solutions. "The goal of this report is to help hotel owners and operators leverage the retailing best practices of other industries into successful strategies to grow revenue and cultivate loyalty."
The report's key finding on hotel retailing success include:
· Convert through context – Whether offering deals or perks at the right moment or providing relevant follow-ups or reminders, technology increases conversion rates by capitalizing on moments when travelers are more inclined to complete a transaction.
· Reduce friction – Technology that identifies pertinent booking details, uses known data to auto-fill forms or creates one-click transactions can close the gap between discovery and purchase and smooth the booking process.
· Sync the cross-channel experience – Integrated technology systems can share data across channels and devices so travelers have a unified and consistent experience at every stage of the purchase path regardless of where they book.
· Help guests envision the ideal trip – Virtual reality and live-streaming platforms allow hotel brands to immerse their guests in the sights, sounds and feel of a destination before booking.
· Use customer data and preferences to treat guests like old friends – Every interaction that a customer has with a brand's digital or physical property gives the hotel insights to uniquely tailor every touchpoint with that individual guest.
Sabre solicited input from some of its hotel customers in preparing the report. Hotel operators confirmed their desire to take a customer-centric approach to retailing:
Kristie Goshow, senior vice president, commercial - Viceroy Hotels & Resorts commented on the importance of an omnichannel strategy in achieving Viceroy's retail goals. "Our goal is to engage consumers on their path from discovery to purchase. We must sell the way our customers wish to buy and ultimately, that means we need to distribute ourselves 'brilliantly' across all consumer facing touch-points," said Goshow.
Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants distribution director Nadine Pagel spoke on the importance of creating a unique, personal experience for Kimpton guests. "In the decision-making process, first impressions are paramount. We believe in delivering highly personalized guest service anchored by local insights and recommendations, all before you even walk in the door – that's what makes the Kimpton experience truly unique," commented Pagel.
In addition, The Future of Hotel Booking report shows how the identified trends could impact the traveler experience by looking at five different scenarios that follow travelers with differing needs and reasons to travel throughout their booking journeys.
The Future of Hotel Booking report was commissioned by Sabre and conducted by PSFK Labs. The full report can be downloaded from the Sabre Hospitality website.

What can you do to avoid limp flower petals?

What is bent-neck in roses and how can you avoid it?
Premature harvesting is the core problem of bent-neck in roses. The stem right under the bud is not strong enough to carry the weight of the growing bud/flower. When the stem bends in this way, the vascular bundles are pinched shut and the flower's water supply is cut off. The leaves, on the other...

China's currency is rising ever so slowly against the dollar. But is that hurting China? We will look at a very interesting chart and some research. And then we'll gain some more insight into why the employment numbers seemed to surprise. I guess if you lower the bar, it's easier to jump over. I also deal with the pushback from last week's Outside the Box! And Ireland is on my radar. There is a lot to cover, so let's jump in.
I start this week's letter on a flight from Cleveland (where I was at the Cleveland Clinic meeting with my good friend and doctor Mike Roizen (of Oprah and the various 'YOU' books with Mehmet Oz) on some non-health-related business, and we talked last night about the state of health care. Mike keeps pointing out that much of our health-care cost comes from chronic diseases that are either directly or partially lifestyle choices. And he is right. The data shows it. Smoking, overeating, lack of exercise - all contribute to our health-care bills. And health care was on my mind.
This week we turn our attention to the elections and their aftermath. Long-time readers know I am a Republican, but I offer some sobering advice to my friends on my side of the aisle: Be careful what you wish for. It's one thing to get a few votes. It's quite another to live up to promises that simply can't be kept. We will start our analysis by looking at the GDP numbers that came out today, and we will end by pointing out that there will be no easy choices. And then we can turn our attention where it should be, to the World Series here in Texas.
This week you will get a kind of preview as this week's letter. I am desperately trying to finish the first draft of my book and am one chapter away from having that draft. I have promised my editor (Debra Englander) that she would see a rough draft next week, and the final version will be delivered on the last day of September. More on that process for those interested at the end of the letter. But this week's letter will be part of what will probably be the 4th or 5th chapter, where we look at the rules of economics.
There is just so little writing time left that I have to focus on that book for a little bit. I am writing this book with co-author Jonathan Tepper of Variant Perception (who is based in London), a young and very gifted Rhodes scholar with a talent for economic analysis and writing. We each write the first draft of a chapter and then go back and forth until the chapter has been much improved. Alas, gentle reader, you will only get my first draft. You will have to wait for the book to get the new, improved version. But this is the last one I have to write. And Jonathan has done all his initial chapters. We are on the home stretch.
Sadly, I find myself with more than enough time to compose yet another Thoughts from the Frontline in an airport, as a flight booking error has me at JFK for six hours instead of fishing in Maine. Details for those interested or amused at the end. But it does allow me to offer you a peek into a very sobering report on how badly underfunded public pension are. The situation is worse than you think. Then we will close with a eye-opening report on China from the gracious Simon Hunt, who is allowing me to reprint his latest missive in toto. You really want to read this one. And we start with this rumor from Reuters, just in. Read this and weep.

Joan Crawford is pretty in "Dancing Lady". I never considered her a beauty. In fact, I don't think she's beautiful. But in "Dancing Lady", Joan Crawford is pretty, lively, sensual, brilliant. She did not dance very well, but their dramatic talents are good in this picture.
Clark Gable is fine, but his role is not interesting, although providing one of the most sensual moments of classic cinema: a slap on the ass of Joan Crawford is sexy and funny. The songs are not exceptional but the choreography, by contrast, is competent and the plot, though quite common, is not unpalatable.
After all, the film bored me a bit. Boring music and history not very engaging. Not a must-see movie but it's no waste. "Dancing Lady" is fairly good and the magnetism of Joan Crawford is a reason to see the film.

Nigeria pledges $1.5m to support AU mission in C.A.R.
ADDIS ABABA – Nigeria on Saturday pledged 1.5 million US dollars at an international donor summit at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa to support African-led International Mission (MISCA) in the Central African Republic (CAR).
The Minister of State 2 for Foreign Affairs, Dr Nurudeen Mohammed, announced the pledge as 60 nations came together to raise money for the crisis-stricken CAR.
"The situation in CAR demands our collective resolve to help that sister country to win the peace and embark on national reconciliation and re-establish critical government infrastructure'', he said.
Mohammed urged parties to the conflict in CAR to "bury their differences, rebuild confidence in one another and resolve to live together in the interest of peace, stability and national development.''
The minister called on the people of CAR to rally behind the newly installed Interim Government led by President Catherine Samba-Panza.
In addition to the financial donation, he said Nigeria was prepared to offer technical assistance to CAR with a view to post-conflict reconstruction and development.
The donor summit was held at the end of a weeklong meeting of the AU in Addis Ababa.
The European Union had pledged $61 million, the largest sum and it had already given CAR $271 million since December.
EU Africa Director, Nicholas Westcott said the bloc was conscious of the urgent need to provide political and financial support to the new transitional government in Bangui.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson told the conference that: "we have a collective responsibility towards the people of the Central African Republic to respond rapidly and robustly and now to prevent further atrocities.''
He appealed to the international community to urgently provide MISCA with the support required.
According to the UN, an estimated one million of the country's 4.6 million citizens have been displaced during months of religious violence.
Violence had erupted in the country since a coup in March 2013 toppled the government.
Around 5,500 AU troops are taking part in the MISCA peacekeeping mission and have been joined by 1,600 French soldiers. (NAN)

Sandro Look
16 April 19
First rays of sun are coming and i hope that can stay for a long time!
I love the days were i can go for a walk with no jacket, with the sunrises hitting softly on my face and feeling like home.
I enjoy wearing causal clothes, the ones which i can wear at day or night, with a simple change of handbag or shoes. I feel even more empowered with clothes that we would not categorize as feminine, each one is free to dress as he feels better. With a suit, wide pants and a shirt you can feel truly powerfull.
These incredible clothes you can find in Sandro, I'm sure you'll find your true style with them.

Booking A Tantra Session Can Be The Same Day
This is a very easy process. Initially; I require a direct phone call for new seekers; so that I have a starting point with you. There after; a simple text or e-mail. I do not live in my private practice; so if you call me and say, Hi, I'm around the corner, are you available NOW, that usually does not work, unless I am already at the studio and available. Otherwise, my time will be needed to drive over to my Serene Oasis and turn on my air conditioning in the warm months or extra heat in the winter weather, and organize for your time with me.
If you do wish for a 911 call, I can fly on the seat of my Sweet Goddess Lace Panties, and therefore would require a heads up respectable time ahead, 60 to 90 mins ahead, can work, to book a session, nothing less than that please, because I could be in the middle of something; like traffic in Toronto! I can plan to venture over for you with the Protocols I have just mentioned. Please understand; to segment and prepare properly for our session, it is best to have me relaxed and in Zen for our Ritual, this way you have 150% of my energy that you are investing in. You get the best session this way; and you deserve it, don't you?
I also limit my Tantra appointments to only 2 a day, to ensure vibrant energy for your journey . However, if by circumstances you just must see me at once, at the very last minute IN THE EVENING past 7p.m., and if you haven't already booked. A $50 deposit is required for these last minute arrangements, FOR NEW SEEKERS ONLY because I have to drop all things and venture out to cater to you. The deposit comes off the donation once you arrive to my studio. The deposit is made with a CC via paypal or an electronic bank e- transfer. Once you have had your first experience with me, you do not need to follow this protocol any longer.

"Then He said to them all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
Luke 9:23
What a truth, a way to check our own hearts, denying ourselves, and putting others first! Sometimes putting others first is harder than we would like to admit!
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:30-31
Often times we can get caught up in judging and analyzing those around us! What we need to do is love them and press on towards the LORD!
"Then He said to them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Matthew 4:19
We need to be attractive bait, a people who love others not judging others!
"Jesus said to him, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You Follow Me."
John 21:22
Today let us really deny ourselves, our thoughts, our ways and our opinions and just Follow the LORD! Remember its all gonna work out, Have a blessed day!

- 67 Bachelors
- 1626 Students
- Private Institution Type
The Huntingdon Normal School was established by a spry young Huntingdon physician, Dr. Andrew B. Brumbaugh, and his two cousins, Henry and John Brumbaugh. Henry provided a second-story room over his local print shop for classes, while John lodged and fed the college's first teacher, Jacob M. Zuck. Andrew was to "provide students and furniture".
Juniata offers a distinctive academic experience. Here are key academic features in our program that help our students succeed—on campus and beyond.
With significant experience independently conducting or collaborating on research, Juniata students have a distinct advantage in graduate programs. In fact, many Juniata students now design and conduct their own research projects as part of their coursework.
There's a reason that 96% of our students who graduate do so in four years—and that 96% are employed or in grad school six months after graduation. Juniata offers a distinctive academic experience.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2019. By rating institutions on a scale from 1 to 5, on multiple studies-related questions, we found the top educators in the world.Learn more about the Global Student Satisfaction Awards
The College makes reasonable accommodations for students with respect to disabilities which do not impose an undue hardship on the College. If a student believes he or she requires a reasonable accommodation or has a question regarding educational services, activities, programs, or facilities that are accessible to or usable by students with disabilities, please contact the Interim Director of Academic Support, Steve Ankney, in Academic Support Services who serves as the point person and advocate for students with disabilities.
The L.A. Beeghly Library is open 100+ hours a week with an enthusiastic library staff to serve Juniata students, faculty, and community. The Library offers a large collection of print books, 200,000+ ebooks, and 48,000+ journals, magazines, and newspapers in all formats. Our library is at the center of the campus intellectually and physically.
Juniata's Campus Technology Services Department will provide the leadership, infrastructure, and support mechanisms to facilitate the use of technology in the following ways: to enhance scholarship through academic and experiential learning, to support an inclusive and engaged community through communication and collaboration.
All full-time students are required to indicate proof of insurance that will provide coverage in the event of an accident. Juniata College students are automatically covered under the Student Health Insurance Plan. The cost of the Student Health Insurance Plan is $1,616 annually for undergraduate students and $2,207 annually for graduate students. This charge will appear on each student's bill.
Juniata is a residential campus where more than 1,200 students live in either traditional residence halls or more independent houses and apartments. Living on campus provides the opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the college experience while taking advantage of activities throughout the year.
With the completion of the Kennedy Sports + Recreation Center (1983), Juniata College students were provided with the most modern of recreational facilities. A hub for out-of-classroom activity, the Kennedy Center contains two gymnasiums; a six-lane, 25-meter swimming pool; a wrestling room; racquetball/handball courts; sauna facilities; universal weight lifting equipment; 11 nautilus machines; and three expanded locker rooms.
Juniata has dozens of clubs and organizations on campus that give students the opportunity to develop different skills, support various causes, grow as a person, make friends and/or just have fun!
The Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and has achieved the highest state rating as a Keystone STAR 4 Center (Keystone STARS). The Center is also licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. Our high-quality early childhood program provides a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children.
I think that Juniata talks up a great game, however I feel that in some ways I was not prepared once I left the university. The concert choir is the absolute best part. The opportunities for studying abroad were phenomenal.

Surface Aggression
Renewed aggressiveness from Microsoft could do the whole tech industry a lot of good. iTunes is as bloated and user-hostile as Outlook was in the '90s.
— Anil Dash, on the Surface tablet
The Little ISP That Stood Up to the GovernmentWhen Twitter fought a court order for information from the accounts of several WikiLeaks supporters, it was lauded by Wired.com as having "beta-tested a spine." The latest entry into the list of companies with a "spine" is tiny Sonic.net Inc., a Santa Rosa, Calif.-based Internet provider with about 36,000 customers.
IPhone Finder's Attorney SpeaksThe attorney representing the man who found the iPhone prototype that tech blog Gizmodo posted stories and photos about disclosed his identity as Brian Hogan, a 21-year-old Redwood City, Calif., college student.
Portfolio Lives! Sort Of: Web Site Adopted by Condé Nast's Corporate Cousin.Never say never: Condé Nast, which is closing down its Portfolio business magazine, has decided not to turn off the lights at Portfolio.com. Instead, it is shifting control of the Web site–essentially, the Portfolio.com address and a couple years of archived content–over to American City Business Journals, its corporate cousin in the Advance Publications family.
Will Congress Stop the Cable Guys From Charging by the Byte?More drum-beating from Eric Massa, the Democratic congressman who has decided to make an enemy/example out of Time Warner Cable, which wants to charge its broadband customers based on their Web usage. The New York rep says he'll introduce a bill that will prevent Time Warner and other pipe providers from "capping" their broadband offerings.
Reddit's Ad Experiment Is Good News for Condé Nast. Maybe for Digg, Too.User-generated news aggregators like Reddit are notoriously difficult sites to pitch to advertisers, but Condé Nast may have figured out how to do it. If it works, it could be promising news for Digg, which has a bigger audience but the same problems.
Imeem Asks Big Music for Help; Gets Some, Needs MoreThe once-buzzy start-up isn't on life support yet. But it sure could use some help–just like every other Web music player. I can confirm that the company has sought, and received, new terms from some of the big music labels, most notably Universal Music Group. One big label that hasn't given imeem any concessions yet: Warner Music Group, which owns an equity stake in the company.

text: Before he was known internationally in the club community, CJ Jeff was already a local hero in Athens. The Greek deep house DJ is known and celebrated in the city for his sets at Dybbuk, the 400-capacity spot where he's held a weekly residency for the last decade. In between his weekly sets in his hometown Jeff has gradually become a sought-after name further afield, playing regular dates at adored late-night spots like Cavo Paradiso, D-Edge and Watergate. His music has appeared on the likes of Bedrock, Yoshitoshi and Objektivity, while the Rythmetic label he runs with Thodoris Triantafillou has signed giants like Nick Curly and No Artificial Colours. Jeff has often described Objektivity founder Dennis Ferrer as something of a mentor since he was signed to the label, so it's extra special for us to have them playing together in Room One this weekend. Ahead of this Saturday Jeff sent over a mix, covering the type of melodic and driving house we should expect to hear from him in the club. Download: CJ Jeff fabric Promo Mix

When Computers Changed the World from the Revolution Exhibition
"When Computers Changed the World" is just one of more than 100 videos in the Computer History Museum's new exhibition: "Revolution: the First 2000 Years of Computing." In the span of a single lifetime, computers have gone from large, incredibly expensive and rare devices to small, low-cost, ubiquitous tools that we can't imagine living without. Yet, few people know the history of how this came to be.
Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing is a rich, multimedia exhibition that traces the history of modern computing. It begins with ancient efforts to make math easier and extends through to the modern marvels of hand-held devices and the Web. Revolution tells the stories of computing history in 19 galleries. Each gallery is a themed mini-exhibition that covers a particular aspect of the evolution of computing. Within each gallery is an icon—a distinguished artifact that represents and introduces the topic.
In all, more than 1,100 objects, some rare and one-of-a-kind, are displayed. Revolution immerses visitors in the sights and sounds of the computer revolution through vivid graphics, hands-on displays, period settings, machine demonstrations, and more than 100 video, audio, and touch-screen stations.
See the Revolution Exhibition at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, California. Visitor information can be found at www.computerhistory.org/visit or on Facebook at facebook.com/ComputerHistory and on Twitter @computerhistory.

|Sonic Saber
| 19402
19432 (Premium)
|Fully Cowled Mini 4WD
| Super-1 Chassis
Super-II Chassis (Premium)
|Release Date
| 1994
2011 (Premium)
|In fictional media
|First Appearance
|Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go!
|Retsu Seiba
It was featured in manga and anime Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! as Retsu Seiba's second machine, replacing his Super Astute Jr..
General info
The Sonic Saber, much like its sister car Magnum Saber, featuring the curved, fully cowled bodyshell that covering the wheels. There's the rear body roller attachments in which user can install the 10 mm rollers on it. The bodyshell is mainly in white, with red and green trims on it.
The differences between it and Magnum Saber is that the Sonic Saber has the curve-like decals on its bodyshell and has the large, tilted rear spoiler and large winglets. Furthermore, it has the 'Retsu' (烈) emblem on the front of the bodyshell.
The original Sonic Saber comes with the blue-colored curve side-guard attachment and is equipped with the neon yellow small-diameter 3-spoke Fully Cowled-type wheels paired with high-profile slick tires. The sub-parts of the chassis for the original were molded in green.
The Premium variant, however, was equipped with the normal yellow 5-spoke Saber-type low-profile wheels with low-profile slick tires. It comes with the reinforced chassis made of Polycarbonate-mixed ABS plastic and much like the original Sonic Saber, the sub-parts of the chassis for this variant were molded in green.
In the manga and anime
Spoiler alert!
This section of the article may contains details concerning the progression of the plot. If you do not want it to be spoiled for you, skip this section!
Like his Super Astute Jr. before it, the Sonic Saber is specifically tuned for cornering and acceleration, with flat tires, large rear spoiler, extended front bumper parts and the Torque-Tuned Motor equipped. As such it has better cornering stability compared to Go's Magnum Saber.
The Sonic Saber, along with Magnum Saber, were destroyed all together as both cars fell off the track at Dr. Ogami's lab into the lava during the Seiba brothers' race against J's Proto-Saber JB.
Retsu was somehow managed to salvage the badly-damaged Torque-Tuned Motor that the Sonic Saber used and use it in his Vanguard Sonic during the Tokichi Cup until it finally stops working.

Pistorius, from glory to disaster
Paralympic gold-medal-winner Oscar Pistorius was the first both-leg amputee to participate in the Olympics, when he was 25. The South African sport hero dubbed Blade Runner was included in Time Magazine's list of 100 most influential people in the world in 2012.
Compatriot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, was a model and a law graduate. Then the celebrity life ended.
He killed her in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year. They were at his home in Pretoria. Pistorius said he shot Steenkamp accidentally, believing she was an intruder. It was just after three a.m.
He said he'd woken up, heard a noise, felt vulnerable without his prosthetic legs on and took his gun to investigate. He fired four shots from the 9mm pistol through the closed door.
Descriptions of the case included: 'an individual psychological disaster' and also 'representative of national crime fears'.
The defendant broke down repeatedly in court, even retching.
Video evidence showed a different side of the accused at a firing range — laughing. Weapons charges had also been brought against Pistorius.
On the 12th September, the judge acquitted the athlete of intentional murder, finding him guilty, instead, of 'culpable homicide'.

Devon Fireplace Restoration
This work was carried out in Braunton, Devon by our customer, Sean Macauley, who sent us these images and words:
"…you very kindly gave me some extremely helpful advice when I was ripping out my old fireplace and you said you might be interested in seeing some pictures.
I have included a few that go from the fireplace as we found it, to the finished article with the stove installed….Once again thanks very much for your help."
A modern fireplace had been built over the original. This is very common as successive owners have modernised a property in an attempt to keep up with new trends. These additions were removed revealing the original inglenook fireplace.
The original stonework restored according to our Repair Guidesheets on re-pointing with lime mortar. The joints were prepared by raking and cleaning out with a plugging chisel and churn brush. Lime Mortar was used for the pointing.
The original oak lintel was retained as it was sound, but can be treated as a precaution with a natural pesticide treatment and Universal Hard Oil to provide a deep protection that also highlights the grain in dry wood.
This type of work can be undertaken with guidance by enthusiastic amateurs. We offer a Practical Lime Course and a DVD based on the course. We also provide expert technical advice over the telephone 01409 281644 or by email email@example.com.
