Los Angeles, CA. Nixon Peabody continues to expand its burgeoning West Coast intellectual property practice with the arrival of two patent litigation partners.
Based in Nixon Peabody's Los Angeles office, Vincent Yip and Peter Wied work with a number of technology companies to efficiently and cost-effectively resolve their patent litigation disputes. They have successfully handled matters for both international (primarily Taiwanese) and U.S.–based technology clients before U.S. district courts, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Vincent and Peter represent clients in a variety of different technology areas, including computer, liquid crystal display, semiconductor and software companies, in all aspects of patent litigation and innovation counseling.
"We continue to see a large number of emerging companies in the high-tech sector," said Jason Kravitz, head of Nixon Peabody's IP Litigation practice group. "At the same time, the laws that govern IP continue to evolve. Peter's and Vincent's familiarity and track record with litigation for Asian technology clients, especially Taiwanese companies, will be a tremendous benefit to our clients and is a natural fit with our existing Asia practice."
"Here in Los Angeles, most of our litigators focus at least a meaningful part of their practices on IP and related litigation—patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and the related art, cyber and employment issues that closely complement and often overlap with these areas of law," added Seth Levy, managing partner of the firm's Los Angeles office. "Vincent's and Peter's practices are a nice complement to our LA office and litigation practice."
Beyond litigation, Vincent has negotiated and drafted numerous patent licenses and advised technology clients in connection with the purchase or transfer of patent rights, and on strategies for successful patent portfolio management. Vincent speaks fluent Mandarin. He received his law degree from University of California, Hastings College of Law, his master's degree from University of California, Los Angeles, and his undergraduate degree from the University of Hawaii.
Peter counsels his clients on strategic portfolio management and maintenance and has represented several clients during United States Patent and Trademark Office reexamination proceedings. He graduated from Harvard Law School and received his undergraduate degree in physics from Brown University.
Also joining Nixon Peabody's Los Angeles office is associate Ryan Duckett, whose practice focuses on representing high-profile individuals and major corporations in all phases of litigation, with a focus on intellectual property matters including copyright, trademark, licensing, publicity, trade secret and patent matters. Ryan will be part of the firm's Commercial Litigation group. He received his law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law in Chapel Hill and his undergraduate degree from Cornell University.

Thanks to SparkFour and Elly for pointing me to this article (also on Zero Hedge) tracing the history of gold inflation in the Diablo 3 Economy.
I was eager to read it from the intro, thinking it would provide some penetrating insight into the workings of the game's virtual economy. Unfortunately it does not do that. I can't tell if the author doesn't know enough about the game to present a complete picture of the economy, or if he only focused on gold value to make his hyper-inflation parallels work, but it feels like a very partial work. It's informative about a lot of basic economic functions at least, albeit presented from an Austrian-themed PoV. Quote:
Hyperinflation is the economist's equivalent of an astrophysicist's quasar cluster or a marine biologist's dolphin "stampede": a rare exhibition of a unique set of circumstances which arise infrequently and are closely studied when they materialize. Such events are exotic enough that they become legendary: many individuals knowing little about monetary policy are aware of the recent outbreak in Zimbabwe, or familiar with the defining instance in the post-WWI Weimar Republic.
Economically, the tipping point in the transformation of inflation into hyperinflation is characterized by a profound drop in the outstanding demand for money: when holders of money expect the supply of money to increase — particularly without any sense of timing, bounds, or other guidance — monetary demand in the present drops in favor of surrendering money for vendibles.
The focus of possessors of money, therefore, devolves into an effort to capture known, present purchasing power against the likelihood of its decline in the near future. Saving, in any event, delaying consumption, is chastened; and if a cycle of declining purchasing power and rapidly rising prices ensues, ultimately the propensity to hold money declines precipitously and may fundamentally disappear.
The article is certainly correct that gold bots (and player improvements in gold harvesting rate) have increased the gold supply, but for the most part that has not caused the huge spikes in prices (inflation) that increases in the monetary supply create in real world economies. This is because players are constantly finding new items as well as gold, which is where the entire parallel to real world economies breaks down.
In real life you earn money to buy toasters and pizzas and automobiles. When there's inflation, prices rise since there's more money in circulation, and thus each dollar is "worth" less. But in real life you never just find a toaster or pizza or automobile that you can use yourself and/or sell to others, and the equivalent of that happens all the time in Diablo 3. In fact that's the whole point of playing the game.
Inflation occurs in the real world when more currency is chasing a finite supply of stuff. In a virtual world like Diablo 3 where an infinite amount of "stuff" exists, where all players can find the stuff, and especially in softcore mode where (almost) none of the old stuff ever wears out or breaks, prices can fall even as the gold supply increases.
Which is where we are today, where most players in D3 complain about deflation, not inflation, and lament their inability to build up gold by selling gear since only the very top quality of items still has high value. And sure, the uber 99.9999% quality gear has constantly risen in price, but everything else is getting perpetually cheaper. Today you can outfit a character for success in Inferno for a fraction what it cost months ago. (Which will make you happy if you set a goal in concrete terms, but might lead to discontent if you evaluate yourself by the status of others.)
So, are you guys happy with how the game economy is working these days? Or do you feel somehow victimized by inflation and deflation simultaneously, as everything you want seems to be increasing in price while everything you have (and find) is constantly less valuable?

What to do in an emergency
I'm doing a story on land tax (an area I'm not too familiar with). A group of owners in Glen Waverley are unhappy about the sharp increase of land tax, in some cases more than doubling.
From what I understand, property evaluations have been taken away from councils to the Valuer-General in the past year or so, but councils had the option to opt in for a year or two.
Does council still do the evaluations? If so, does it have any comment regarding it?
Council has opted to allow the Valuer-General Victoria (VGV) manage the valuation process.
If not, does council have any comment about what the Valuer-General has done?
We have no comment regarding this process.

Description Edit
"Fires the .50 BMG. For anti-materiel missions."
- Accuracy: 5/5
- Noise: 5/5
- Recoil: 5/5
- Durability: 2/5
- Magazine size: 10+1
- Ammo: .50 Cal
- Can suppress: No
- Scope: Yes
- Weight: 7.3 lbs (20 lbs in Breakdown)
Item ListEdit
The following item lists contain this item
Note: S=State of Decay storyline; B=Breakdown; L=Lifeline
- The M107 CQ is based on the Barret M82 (standardized by the US Military as the M107), an anti-materiel rifle chambered for .50 BMG rounds. The variant depicted is the CQ, which sports a shorter barrel than the standard M107.
- Mickey Wilkerson uses his custom variant of M107 CQ named Eli if the player chooses to call for Sharpshooting.
- This rifle is among the rarest and most powerful in State of Decay. A body shot can instantly shred any zombie except Juggernauts. However, the rare ammo, massive recoil and extremely loud noise makes it very risky to use.
- In Breakdown, The M107 CQ's weight is increased to 20 lbs (to better match its real-life version, which weighs nearly 30 lbs), so it instantly encumbers any non-Powerhouse character, reducing its usability even more.

Now in its 17th year, the Mardi Gras Texas Style music festival combines all the food and fun of Mardi Gras with great music. Taking place February 10 in the historic State Fairgrounds in Dallas, 20 top country music acts will be taking multiple stages beginning at 2 p.m. Acts include Cody Johnson, Easton Corbin, Stoney LaRue, Deryl Dodd, Mike Ryan, Koe Wetzel, Zane Williams, The Dirty River Boys, and Prophets and Outlaws.
Things to Do
Mardi Gras Texas Style Music Festival Gears Up with 20 Acts on 5 Stages
We hate spam too, we'll never share your email address
Photo: Facebook/Mardi Gras Texas Style
This one-of-a-kind music festival features five stages, beverages, beads, and "bons temps"-a-plenty. Putting a Texas-sized twist on the traditional Mardi Gras festival, this musical celebration will take over Fair Park with a lineup that features a wide range of artists helping fans enjoy a wild and crazy time. General admission tickets start at $36.50 with a service fee of $5.69 (a special advanced-ticket rate) and range upwards of "Baron VIP" (for those 21 years of age and older) at a cost of $295 with a $17.05 service fee. And, the variances are broad. The latter of the two even allows for the lucky holder to have a face-to-face meet-and-greet with the artist of their choice at the venue!
Photo: Facebook/Mardi Gras Texas Style
Special cocktail service and private acoustic sets by event acts are also available on VIP packages, and with the mainstage situated within a climate-controlled building, this event will go ahead, rain or shine. Many festivals are featured on the pages of TexasHillCountry.com, but none appear to have the ability to draw acts the likes of which Mardi Gras Texas Style seems to have, and with consistency, for 17 years. Get out there and celebrate this great time right here in the heart of Texas!

Edgar Wright Reinvents How Sound Can Be Used In Film
Sound is typically a boring and overlooked aspect of movies, not because it is inherently boring, but because most directors do not recognize the advantage of using it in different ways. Director Edgar Wright takes sound and, as he does with everything else, makes it extraordinary in his films. Wright uses something called intensified continuity, definedContinue reading "Edgar Wright Reinvents How Sound Can Be Used In Film"

Libra man is a good lover in general.
Naturally, he was born to love and is often seen as a professional in romances. But at the same time he also has downsides and negative qualities as well, just like any individual on the astrology wheel.
This guy is the quiet type, and he has his own way to make opinions.
He can control himself well when it comes to emotions; for instance, he will not admit his feelings no matter how much he likes you until he surely wants to be serious with you. It takes the Libra male from several weeks to even several months to make the decision in any aspect of life.
He is a true romantic, but what if he pulls away suddenly?
It seems like your Libra man does not treat you like the way he did anymore and starts displaying signs of over you. Don't just give up before giving it a try! There are a few things you can do to keep his heart.
In this article, let's discuss about signs Libra man has lost interest so that you can improve your relationship with him.
What are Signs Telling Libra Man is No Longer Interested?
When a Libra man falls in love, he is very generous and affectionate.
If you want to attract this guy and stay with him for a long term, make sure to respect his personal space and time. Sometimes he needs his alone time so that he can collect his thoughts and recharge his mental batteries; otherwise, he will ignore you without reasons.
Once committed, he will try his best to please his other half. However, this may result to periods of deep depression or exhaustion in mind if Libra does not prepare and balance his emotions well.
Don't get involved with him if you can't live without dramas!
To the Libra guy, arguing or fighting is not good for a healthy relationship. He finds that women acting exaggerated or dramatic are not attractive at all; in addition, he also says no to those who behave clingy and childish.
What to do when your Libra partner stops showing you his affections and rarely gives you the attention that he used to?
Are you afraid he is losing his interest in you?
You can tell when a Libra is over you just by observing his changes in behavior. Here come several obvious signs that you should notice:
Consider four signs in the following for a clue:
1. He doesn't have his private space
Though Libra man is caring and loving in a love relationship, a continuous personal interaction and communication with you will surely make him feel tired. Known for being generous emotionally, he finds it hard to ask for his personal space.
This guy always wants his loved one to feel secure and is unable to refuse; hence, he often ends up suppressing his personal needs. He likely hides his feelings, so you may not realize his need; that's why you must be sensitive about this matter.
However, it will lead to resentment if he holds things too long.
2. He can't handle your criticism
Do you know that your rejection can hurt a Libra man terribly?
He is a metrosexual and enjoys being complimented. Once hearing any compliment from you, he will suddenly feel proud of himself and have a very unique reaction. This man really cares about his appearance as well as how people comment on his look.
Because he cares much, he can get extremely hurt by rejection, especially from the lady he feels interested in.
He will completely ignore you if you make any negative comment regarding his appearance in public – this is one of the worst things he doesn't expect you to do to him. It may not a big deal for you, but believing me that he will never forgive it.
3. He can't express his true feelings
Of all the warning signs, if this guy keeps silent around you and acts distant, this means he is current struggled with this relationship and likely to back off.
The reason is probably because he cannot communicate his true feelings. Especially when it comes to emotions, it's extremely difficult for a Libra to express how he actually feels towards his love partner. Most of the time, he is still looking for the answer of what he is and unable to decide which feelings prevail in love.
When Libras are in a relationship, it's all about balance and harmony.
The Libra male is not the type wearing his emotions on sleeves, so he's often confused emotionally while handling a way to get through in a difficult period of his life.
Then how to handle your Libra man? The answer is to be patient! Patiently learn about his personality traits and understand his behavior in relationships, and you can harmonize well with him.
4. He owes you nothing
He's not the one supposed to feel guilty in this circumstance.
When Libra man doesn't answer your texts or calls and seems to ignore you, then you need to think about your past behaviors. Examine everything in mind to see if you've done anything wrong to him. If you did hurt him in the past (cheating, etc.), there's a chance he is still holding it against you.
Libra man can forgive but he will never forget.
If he feels that you can understand him on the emotional level, he'll put up his guards and wait till the right time to end the relationship. Protective and generous simultaneously, he will not give explanation if unnecessarily.
You have to take action if you want to win back his heart.
Not just an apology, he wants you to listen attentively to his viewpoint with sincerity and empathy.
#5: He is pulling away
The Libra male gets bored easily due to his indecisiveness; in addition, this is likely to happen faster under the influence of his Venus-ruled sign's fickleness. For those who are involved with this guy, there will be a time he gets fed up with his current interests.
If you think that he is withdrawing from you, then it's probably a sign that he no longer has special feelings towards you. Never try to make conversations constantly; instead, giving him his alone time is a better idea.
#6: He shows no effort in communicating with you
A Libra man who has lost interest will also has no passion in communicating or expressing his feelings.
When this guy is falling in love with you, he can't wait to share with you about his true feelings. Most of the talks often end up with the story of the first meeting between you and him, like how he impressed you initially. You can feel his effort in trying to connect is feelings to yours.
Nevertheless, all the doors to his emotions will be closed once his feelings towards you are gone.
#7: He holds a grudge
Did you know that the Libra guy also holds a grudge?
Like Scorpio men, those born under Libra zodiac sign also cannot let things go easily. If you've done anything wrong to him in the past, he wouldn't forget. He may make it at ease for you when you two were in love.
As he believes in justice and even his sign represents justice, how do you think that he will response to your unfairness?
He is the type that will never forgive!
#8: He will not try to please you
Once the Libra isn't interested anymore, he will immediately stop making the effort to entertain or delight your mood. At this stage, he thinks that he owes you nothing, so this means he doesn't need to please you.
Rather than wasting his time in making you feel good, he will focus his mind on other new interests.
#9: He don't want to spend time with you
Another noticeable sign telling a Libra man has lost his interest is when he keeps making excuses not to see you. He doesn't feel good being around you; thus, he will avoid spending time with you at all cost.
When you are in this situation, it's obvious that your relationship with Libra partner is in danger. Despite of that, you should respect his privacy – letting him be in his own space to clear his mind and think about the whole circumstance.
His attitude and behavior to you afterward will help you decide if you should stay or move on.
How to Deal with a Distant Libra Man?
Like Libra woman, it's really hard to realize if a Libra man is mad or not because he is the person that will smile with the anger within.
The moment he senses something wrong between you and him, he will immediately withdraw and take a short period to think about it without telling or explaining a thing to you. The result is: you will feel annoyed with this kind of his attitude.
He can't just help that!
Once you have the feeling that he already loses his interest with you, it's much better if you take the initiative. Don't hesitate; instead, talk to him directly though it might be hard to hear the truth from him. Nevertheless, it's significant to know the reason so that you can show him that you still love him as always.
As he loves hearing compliments, just do that sincerely.
In terms of love romances, it seems like only Gemini woman, Aquarius woman, and Sagittarius woman can match well with Libra man; meanwhile, Scorpio with their intensity can be a pressure for him.
How to Win His Heart Back?
Keep in mind that your Libra partner is an extremely argumentative creature; therefore, never think of starting an argument with him. It will be a big turn off if you try to drag him in a dramatic debate.
No matter what happens between you two, avoid criticizing him harshly if you still want to be with him. As I told you earlier, Libra does hold grudge so be careful with what you talk to him; otherwise, he will interpret it as something unsupportive.
Nothing can hit him harder than being with someone critical and unsupportive.
Libra man's ideal type of woman is certain! He prefers the lady who is decisive and dynamic and is not really interested in introverted ones.
When handling this guy, patience is everything.
Don't push him too much or he will run away from you!
This is the end of the article today which discussing about signs Libra man has lost interest. Still more interesting and informative articles are on this website if you want to gain more insights about Libra. Hope you find the info here useful for you!
Above are signs Libra man has lost interest in you and tips on how to solve this matter; however, everything needs time and patience, especially this guy doesn't like being forced or pushed.
Keep in mind that this situation is not something occurring frequently.
But once it happens, you need to quickly figure out the reason and make amends. As he invests a lot in a relationship, you should show him that you're worth his effort. Don't just apology without really putting your heart into it as Libra man certainly doesn't take it lightly.
Last advice: don't just focus on zodiac signs.

Smaller banks and credit unions enjoy a reputation of offering more personalized services than large financial institutions (FIs). When it comes to technological innovation, however, the smaller players have long been outgunned by larger FIs and their sizable IT budgets. This is changing — in a big way.
Today, small banks are more aggressive and ambitious in their innovation strategies than medium-sized and large FIs. In fact, more than 40 percent of small banks aim to be first to market with their innovations, a twofold increase from 2017 that surpasses that of larger banks. Meanwhile, medium and large FIs are taking a more cautious approach to innovation. Half of medium-sized FIs prefer to observe market trends before rolling out new innovations.
In the Leveling the Playing Field For Different-Sized FIs Edition of the latest Innovation Readiness Playbook™ series, a collaboration with i2c, PYMNTS surveyed more than 200 FI decision-makers to examine how institutional size relates to innovation. The report analyzed a wide range of metrics, such as investment in innovation, on-time performance and new product development for three groups of FIs: small banks (with less than $500 million in assets), medium FIs (with $500 million to $25 billion) and large FIs (with more than $25 billion).
The research determined that greater assets do not translate into a stronger appetite for innovation. The overall innovation climate in the banking sector is cooler than it was in 2017, when PYMNTS last took stock. However, while medium and large FIs saw their performance scores decline, the average score for small banks increased from 33.6 percent to higher than that of large FIs.
At the same time, mid-sized banks remain committed to innovation — and demonstrate this where it counts. On average, these FIs designate 45.7 percent of their budgets to innovation, surpassing the levels of small banks (33.2 percent) and large banks (23.8 percent). On the other hand, mid-sized banks are more careful with how they spend their innovation dollars. Half of the respondents reported preferring to observe market trends before rolling out new innovations, up from 40.3 percent in 2017.
Banks of differing sizes also diverge in the innovation areas where they want to invest. A dominant focus for small FIs over the next three years will be user experience: 57.4 percent will focus on this area. While payments technology will be a priority for all FIs, large FIs will make this a particular focus, with 60.8 percent investing in this area over the next three years.
Being a leading innovator today no longer requires having large asset levels or sizable in-house IT departments. To learn more about the qualities that make innovative FIs stand out from the crowd, download the report.
About the Playbook
The Innovation Readiness Playbook, done in partnership with digital banking and payment solutions provider i2c Inc., gauges where banks are on the road to becoming innovators. We surveyed executives at more than 200 U.S. FIs (excluding the largest 25 banks) and scored the institutions from zero to 100 in terms of innovation readiness. Our sample banks fell into four size groups: those with assets below $500 million, $500 million to $1 billion, $1 billion to $25 billion and more than $25 billion. We divided the FIs into three groups — top, middle and bottom performers — then analyzed the data to understand what top performers were doing so well, and the lessons everyone else can learn from them.
Banks, corporates and even regulators now recognize the imperative to modernize — not just digitize —the infrastructures and workflows that move money and data between businesses domestically and cross-border.
Together with Visa, PYMNTS invites you to a month-long series of livestreamed programs on these issues as they reshape B2B payments. Masters of modernization share insights and answer questions during a mix of intimate fireside chats and vibrant virtual roundtables.

Characterization of Gramicidin A in a Lecithin Bilayer during Ethanol-Induced Interdigitation
Shtark, Gene
MetadataShow full item record
Differential scanning calorimetry, intrinsic fluorescence, and 31P-NMR were used to study an interdigitated 1,2-Dimyristoyl- sn -Glycero-3-Phosphocholine (DMPC) membrane containing a gramicidin-A integral protein. DMPC, a biologically important 14-carbon diacyl lecithin, has previously been studied in interdigitated ethanol solutions. It is known to exhibit the biphasic effect, hysteresis, and distinctive endothermic peaks, all of which undergo notable changes in the presence of integral proteins. The transition from the interdigitated to the liquid crystalline phase was shown to involve multiple endothermic peaks, indicating the formation of laterally segregated microdomains. The threshold concentration of ethanol required to induce interdigitation was found to increase in the presence of Gramicidin A. Red-edge excitation shift fluorescence spectroscopy monitored the conformation of gramicidin before and after interdigitation, effectively measuring the effects of the interdigitated phase on the protein?s conformation in the membrane. The overall effects of DMPC?s main transition from the interdigitated state to the liquid crystalline were thus assessed with respect to both the protein and membrane components of the system.

Comrades Update (…and Hover Brawl too!)Edit
March 25 - TonyDanza
These are challenging times, so we here at Space Bullet would like to stoke the spirit of perseverance with our Comrade Update for Vox Machinae. Front and center is our new Comrade System, our cross-platform friends/ignore list that seeks to encourage in-game gatherings locked in the heat of glorious grinder combat. Additionally, upgraded visual fidelity (improved shadows and 3D menu), a new sports-inspired game mode, and lovingly reengineered underpinnings all make for our most performant and laboured update yet.
Our new cross-platform friends/ignore system is finally here to help you organise with your fellow grinder pilots. The new profile menu lets you check out the status of your VOX comrades, join the server they're in, and keep tabs on ignored players too. Personalise your pilot's profile with a visual icon that will show up in-game and in-radar to your team. Additionally, ignored players will now persist across sessions as well as servers and are automatically muted so they'll never bother you again. We also took this opportunity to move loadout editing and your pilot settings into the profile menu.
Hover Brawl is here, and it's just about the closest thing to a sport that Vox Machinae has ever seen. Guide the mysterious voxy ball back to your team's base using any combination of melee impacts and firepower. Each of Vox Machinae's weapons will affect the voxy ball differently, so experimentation and tactics will be key to your team's success.
Spectating a match has been streamlined and upgraded with a couple of major changes. We've created a spectator team that players can join if they just want to watch a match. Doing so still takes up a player slot, though they get to fly around in our new spectator pod which doesn't interfere with the match. We also added a new tabletop mode that's available to spectators which while similar to our old spectate mode, offers a greater sense of depth.
As a happy byproduct of one of the many other under-the-hood optimizations, it became possible to add depth to our menu systems. We always envisioned the game's screens to be powered by some sort of primitive holographic tech so this was the perfect opportunity to make that a reality. Several weeks of tinkering and unforeseen complications later, here it is.
Note that 3D Menus are only visible in VR Mode.
Other Niceties
- Vengeful Bots: Bots now retaliate against attacking enemies, and have improved aiming.
- Improved audio and added 3D spatialization to most sounds.
- Load times for players using hard drives should be improved, as we are now able to preload more files in the background.
- Fix collision holes in Blast Chamber.
- Added a "More Info" button on mission briefings to read more detailed information and tips for each mode.
- Terrain shadows no longer flicker close up and look more detailed in the distance.
- A new occlusion system prevents wasting GPU power on parts of the map that are blocked from view, increasing performance.
Full Patch Notes:
0.36.0 alpha
- Spectating: Players can now join a Spectator team. This still consumes a player slot on the server, but prevents spawning a bot that will meddle with the match.
- Comrades: An in-game cross-platform friends list and ignore list. Add Comrades to see them as a special symbol on the radar. See which comrades are in a match, and easily join them. The ignore list replaces the mute feature and is now persistent. Ignored players will not be able to join matches hosted by you.
- NEW! Hover Brawl mode: Knock around the mysterious hovering Voxy Ball and push it into your team's zone to score! Use a variety of weapons for different strategic effects.
- Vengeful Bots: Bots now retaliate against attacking enemies, and have improved aiming.
- Cockpit screens and other interface elements now have some depth to them!
- Improved audio mixing/balancing and added improved 3D spatialization to many sounds.
- We've made a lot of internal changes related to how we store game assets, and that requires the download size of this update to be pretty big. Sorry about that!
- Load times for players using hard drives should be improved, as we are now able to preload more files in the background.
- A new occlusion system prevents wasting GPU power on parts of the map that are blocked from view, increasing performance.
- Added support for Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals.
- Added a "More Info" button on mission briefings to read more detailed information and tips for each mode.
- Fix Air Brake module not fully disabling jump jet control during the cooldown period.
- Fix various rare bugs.
- Terrain shadows no longer flicker close up and look more detailed in the distance.
- Fixed cases of floating detail geometry in levels.
- Fix collision holes in Blast Chamber.
- Voice muting is now bi-directional. Muting a player will also prevent them from hearing you.
- SPECTATE menu option renamed to FREE LOOK. When in free look mode, the world is seen at 1/100th scale. What is this, a game for ants!?
Patch Notes - 0.35.4 alphaEdit
January 27 - TonyDanza
0.35.4 alpha
- Fix bug that could prevent vibration in Oculus Touch controllers from working.
- Add support for Saitek X55 Rhino Joystick.
- Fix some instances of module effects incorrectly showing as toggled active/inactive.

The price of Bitcoin has been holding remarkably steady lately. For more than two months, the digital currency has been stuck around the $6500 mark.
That may come as a surprise to those who follow cryptocurrency markets closely. For a couple of reasons. One of them is volatility. The Bitcoin price has been all over the map last year. It raced from around $6000 at the end of September to close to $20,000 by mid-December, before heading back to $6,000.
Then there's timing. Bitcoin's stability comes at a time of rising US interest rates that have strengthened the dollar against several currencies.
To technical analysts, price stability is usually followed by major moves. Will Bitcoin have another wild ride by Christmas?
To find that out Greg Giordano, my co-author in a research paper on Bitcoins "intrinsic" value, performed a simulation to three econometric models, the Hayes's model and the Wheatley models, and the Market Model (our own).
The results of this exercise are summarised in table 1.

Un-Answered Questions Into Theoretical Physicist Disclosed

Theoretical Physicist – the Conspiracy
My principal inference is our population development, which is a significant problem in lives of individuals living below poverty level. As it's possible to get some initial proficiency, you might believe you have it all figured out. Design is mostly https://grademiners.com/
about empathy.
There will be a number of problems scientists might have to solve in decades to come. Freemasonry is many unique things to a lot of diverse folks. A philosopher in the audience complains he would like to hear the remainder of the talk.
For the reason, an overall fusion of biology and technology could possibly be far away later on. Perhaps the whole planet itself will turn into a machine. In the quantum mechanical universe, there's a disquieting speculation that man is not just crucial in the scheme of things but that he's apparently involved with the very look of the phenomena of the pure world.
Because individual sales are unpredictable, it's often difficult or impossible to tell if a change in sales is brought on by advertising, simply as a result of chance alone or some mixture of marketing and luck. Much like an individual's yelling can result in an avalanche in addition to http://www.midway.edu/course/topics-and-trends-in-p-12-schools/
a moutain, small seemingly unrelated news can cause the exact avalanche effect in the stock exchange or any other self-organized crucial entity for this issue. Today, contemporary scripting allows anyone write their scripts and automate a part of their work, making them all scripters.
Below is a reminder of that which we know from a really young age. Physical theories are made after experimental outcomes. The 2 forms of observations don't compete with one another, but are complementary instead.
This Hawking radiation is made up of particles that besides their temperature do not include any info. Bearing this in mind, Kardashev scale was made as a means to assess the technological progress of a civilization based on the sum of functional energy readily available to it. You're memorizing it so that you might pass on such a knowledge to the next generation of masons.
Theoretical physicist might also be tasked with educating students that are studying physics. On a personal level, physics is important whether you want to get an intriguing career. Similarly, it is dependent on mathematics.
Gross attends the workshop to discover a great strategy to continue. Science is not for everybody. The Theory of Evolution is, needless to say, the same manner.
This assumption is known as the Cosmological Principle. The simple truth is, everybody is confused by quantum physics. This very compact energy difference is referred effective academic writing
to as hyperfine splitting.
Science has ever sought symmetry. Experiments have demonstrated there is a correlation. Physicists have to be patient and hardworking.
The masonic way usually means a great deal of different things to a lot of unique masons. Rather, it's the deliberate shuttering of what's already in place to advertise an authoritarian agenda. You must put in the job.
With just a little imagination, it's simple to think of a lot of reasons why we haven't been in a position to communicate with aliens. The main reason is straightforward and mesmerizing. Therefore, it goes without saying, to be able to be admitted to Princeton, you've got to be one bright kid.
New Step by Step Roadmap for Theoretical Physicist
There are a lot of diverse forces acting on the world right now that should be helpful in spurring that sort of renaissance. The issue is that some individuals are oppressed due to their identity. Most folks think science is about cold, impartial objectivity.
The Upside to Theoretical Physicist
Rather, it turned into a historic procedure for industry growing and getting more robust. Many existing theories are so hard to test they are frequently considered to be untestable in the near future. So when the hiring company hasn't provided a salary for work, we look at salary data from related businesses and locations to produce a sensible estimate for what it is possible to count on.
If, on the flip side, you would like to learn theoretical physics, even receive a degree in the area, then use that knowledge elsewhere (Ph.D. only), you may be in a position to swing that. Graduate training in physics is usually needed for most jobs within this area. As stated by the renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, the subsequent 100 decades of science will choose whether to perish or flourish.
The Ultimate Theoretical Physicist Trick
The issue here is that science has a remarkably superior history of being valid as a method of describing the world. At the close of the day, however, you aren't memorizing the ritual for yourself. Logical analytical thinking is truly good once you are attempting to address a problem you've seen before.
A potential solution came from an extremely familiar source. AI Jukebox is only a simple first prototype into a bleeding-edge region of generative neural networks. In this way, the computing power is focused just on light rays that promote the last image.
The Hidden Truth on Theoretical Physicist
The parameters are totally free to take on several values and the laws to have any form that causes a self-consistent mathematical theory, and they do take on various values and distinct forms in distinct universes. The quantity of radiation emitted in a specific frequency range needs to be proportional to the range of modes in that range. Numerical methods are indispensable for many sorts of manufacturing of advanced materials and engines.

How to Prepare and Cook Low-Carb Foods
If at all you are looking forward to making some changes to the way that you eat, you need to appreciate the fact that the first thing you need to learn is some changes in the way that you cook. What is a bit of some good news with all this is the fact that this has not to be any difficult but instead lots of fun and at the same time quite rewarding. Read on and see some of the top tips on cooking low carb foods, techniques to use and the advice essential for you to make such tasty and healthy low carb foods.
Check out these tips for the preparation of vegetables. As a matter of fact, people on low carb meals take such a high amount of vegetables in their diets. In any case you are daunted by the time that it takes to prepare vegetables, read on and see some of the ways that will help you cut down on the time that you take to do this.
First and foremost, make your pick for some of the vegetables that are simple in preparation. For those times that you just are on the lowest ends for the cooking plans, go for those vegetables that don't tend to be as dirty, are easy to chop and as well will not call for as much fuss in prep needs. One good example is such as asparagus whose ends can be chopped off quite fast and they as well can be rinsed as fast as can be for cooking. The other kind is cabbage as this is another one known for getting you lots of its pieces by running a knife through it. The other is zucchini which is as well quite easy chopping off.
Chop vegetables in large quantities and save as much time. It may be advisable for you to consider keeping the remainder of the chopped vegetables kept in the refrigerator for you to eat in other meals. You can as well consider spicing the meal up to your taste. Some of the common spices that go well with vegetables are such as herbs, garlic and chopped nuts. Once it is ready, you may have this eaten as a side dish, eat in an omelet or some other egg dish or better still with dressing as a cooked salad.
Remember the fact that there are some of the vegetables that are known to remain as nutritious as fresh when they remain frozen such as broccoli.

CLIMATE change could wreak havoc on Cambodia's fisheries sector, community representatives and government officials said at a workshop Monday.
So Nam, deputy director of the government's Inland Fisheries Research Institute, said that global climate fluctuations had already affected ecosystems and reduced catches of freshwater and saltwater fish.
"Cambodia's temperature is increasing between 0.3 centigrade and 0.6 centigrade annually, and it will impact all kinds of fish in Cambodia within 20 to 50 years if we don't combat climate change together," he said.
"In the past few years, climate change has already brought many tragedies to Cambodia, like typhoons, which have brought food shortages to people. We must work together to find a solution to combat climate change and protect marine ecosystems."
So Nam added that 6 million Cambodians are dependent on fisheries, and that the industry yields an average of between 314,000 and 550,000 tonnes of fish per year. It provides between US$250 million and $500 million to the annual national budget.
Long Sochet, a representative of fishermen from Raing Til commune in Pursat province, said fish catches were previously copious during the annual fishing season, which runs from October to June, but that now there were "almost no fish" in the river around March.
Minh Bunly, programme coordinator for the Fisheries Action Coalition Team in the Tonle Sap Region, said the drop was partly caused by illegal fishing and an increase in the number of people who rely on the country's fisheries.

Was the first Ibiza Gaypride a succes?.
Was the first Ibiza Gaypride a succes? Yes and no.
First of all, it wasn't the "FIRST" Gaypride on Ibiza. I remember a great parade in 2005. Maybe only five wagons, but we had fun! And the wagon from La Troya was really super that year.
When we saw the first posters in Madrid already January this year, Johan and I were really happy that they were going to organize an Ibiza Gaypride again. We live on the island, Ibiza is a gay holiday destination and we are proud to be gay. Like in Madrid, on Ibiza we can easily walk hand in hand. And what a great campaign line: "El color vuelve a casa" (the color comes home).
But was the timing right? The month July with the school holidays just started. So a lot of families with children. Already a lot of Gayprides were held. The weekend before was the Madrid Gaypride and the CSD Cologne. And still a lot of Gayprides coming. In August the Gaypride Amsterdam.
When we saw the flyers of the Ibiza Gaypride for the first time on Ibiza, they were promoted the same time with the Ibiza Circuit Festival (19 to 23 August) organized by the Matinee Group. What a competition! Matinee is very popular on the island. Not having them in the agenda of the Ibiza Gaypride would be hard!
So what kind of gay tourists was the organization aiming for? The clubbing boys who like Matinee and WE-party, both extremely well in their PR with sexy gogo boys on the streets? The more bar types, who sit on the terraces until 2 or 3AM and go to bed early because they want their reserved sunbeds at Chiringay around 11 in the morning? Or the more leather scene who go to fetish parties with darkrooms? When I saw the agenda it looked that the organization chose more for the last group of gays, with titles like "Top Gun", "Animal Park", "Into the Tank" and darkrooms at Bora Bora (??) and Anfora already open early in the night as one big darkroom. But isn't the temperature on Ibiza too hot for leather men?
Wouldn't September be a great month for an Ibiza Gaypride? Gay men who come to Ibiza on holiday for years most of the time come twice: in May and in September. No families with children, not too crowded, not too hot.
And with the Ajuntement d'Eivissa, Consell d'Eivisssa, The Port of Ibiza and Ibiza LGTB involved (probably sponsoring) what would be the prices they were going to ask for entrances and drinks? On the Ibiza Gaypride flyer I read directly the phrase: "All access silver bracelets available for 200 euros." So free entrance for 8 parties for 200 euros? But who can go to all parties? And with the extreme drink prices in the clubs (between 8 and 13 euros for beers and sodas) this five days pride would still cost you 1.000 euros or more!
And isn't Ibiza the location where all gays who like clubbing know their way to the bracelets with free entrance or Guestlist? I know a lot of local gay men who don't go to clubs where they have to pay the 40 euros entrance fee. So what is Matinee going to do on the Saturday night when the organization decided to do the main party in Privilege the same night? Obviously Matinee was smart and they sent their gogo dancers and PR-boys through the gay area of Calle de la Virgin giving away a lot of fee bracelets. Results: a Privilege with 400 people inside and a packed Amnesia.
On Friday I had to pay 50 euros entrance at the door of Animal Park. "But I am a resident" I said, waving with a copy of my NIE-number (totally not the right paper) and they said I could pay 20 euros. That is a big difference! The location Benimussa Park was really great, but so large! Why didn't the organization make the area smaller, to get the whole crowd at one stage? At one of the bars I ordered a beer. A small plastic glass for three euros. Well that is finally a nice price! But my second beer was suddenly 6 euros. "Why?" I asked the bartender. "Because we increased the prices after 7 PM". Double the prices?
With an empty "Opening Party" at 7PM on Wednesday night I was really worried how much people would come to the Parade on Saturday. I must say, the location in the harbor was great and I liked it how street artists were going through the city to get you to the stage. But it did not really help. We also left home around 9PM.
So a big surprise how crowded it was on Saturday. The wagons were so nice!
A lot of the Calle de la Virgin bars were involved. This street was also very nice decorated during Gaypride.
The wagon of Sunrise had live drummers and lots of confetti. Peter Oscarsson told me later they used 160 KG of confetti that day.
The La Troya gogo dancers looked fantastic again, carrying a big rainbow flag.
Behind the last wagon a big crowd was following, dancing on the street.
But as soon as they passed the stage, they had to turn down their music, so the dancing, happy crowd suddenly had to listen to somebody talking in Spanish on the stage, thanking all people involved. And gone was the great atmosphere! People from La Troya went on stage and were asking if they could let go balloons in the rainbow colors. We had to watch a strange discussion if it was allowed yes or no.
We moved to Calle de la Virgin right away. But when I see the Ibiza Gay Pride video on Youtube, I must say, we also missed some nice DJ's and singers:
Maybe I am too critrical? Yes … I think so.
I talked with somebody from the organization. Two years of negotiations before they finally convinced the Ajuntement d'Eivissa (Ibiza Town Hall) that they could organize the pride. In the beginning one man was doing all the work, last winter just two men. This Summer there were 7 people working at the organization night and day to get this pride starting.
The first stones are laid of this nice and necessary building. Ibiza needs a pride!
So please go ahead next year. We will support!

Calls for improved ACT pool legislation
An article published in the Canberra Times over the weekend is questioning why legislation has yet to pass in the ACT to ensure pools in Canberra "meet modern standards".
The article says that in the three years since the backyard pool drowning death of a 21-month-old baby from Perth, while visiting Canberra, nothing has changed, despite pleas from the investigating coroner and Royal Lifesaving ACT.
According to the Times, the coronial findings after the child's death highlighted a lack of supervision as a key factor in the drowning, but said the incident highlighted broader public safety concerns around the "inadequate and confusing" pool fencing laws in place.
The coroner called for urgent reforms requiring all existing backyard pools to comply with the latest version of the building code, regardless of when they were installed. Nothing has happened since.
The Times article suggests that aerial vision to help pinpoint most backyard pools in Canberra and form a database is at anyone's fingertips and that such a database would help identify non-compliant pools. Despite the government announcing development of a scheme to bring all pools up to standard in March this year, it has not commenced the public consultation phase, potentially putting lives at risk.

Lucas Harris and Alan Taylor conduct field work in Yosemite National Park inside the perimeter of the 2013 Rim Fire, the third largest in California history. The Rim Fire burned over an area Taylor studied 10 years ago providing a unique opportunity to quantify the effects of the fire. Another fire started in Yosemite while they were there this year. It has burned 4700 acres so far and is responsible for the smoke you can see in the picture.

World's cocoa crop could get a big boost from a simple, non-toxic spray
Cocoa farmers this year will lose an estimated 30 to 40 percent of their crop to pests and disease, and with chocolate prices having risen globally by roughly two-thirds in the past decade, concern is growing about sustainability in cocoa production. Of particular concern are the environmental impact and human health risks of toxic agrichemicals – organochloride insecticides and heavy-metal-based fungicides – used in cocoa production to fight pests and disease.

Peer Grading in a MOOC: Reliability, Validity, and Perceived Effects
By Luo, H., Robinson, A. C., & Park, J. Y.
In Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 18(2), 1-14
Peer grading offers a scalable and sustainable way of providing assessment and feedback to a massive student population. However, currently there is little empirical evidence to support the credentials of peer grading as a learning assessment method in the MOOC context. To address this research need, this study examined 1,825 peer grading assignments collected from a Coursera MOOC with the purpose of investigating the reliability and validity of peer grading, as well as its perceived effects on students' MOOC learning experience. The empirical findings provide evidence that the aggregate of student graders can provide peer grading scores fairly consistent and highly similar to instructor grading scores. Student survey responses also indicate peer grading activities to be well received by a majority of MOOC students, who believe it was fair, useful, beneficial, and would recommend it to be included in future MOOC offerings. Based on the empirical results, this study concludes with a set of principles for designing and implementing peer grading activities in the MOOC context.
Effect of Geographic Distance on Distance Education: An Empirical Study.
By Luo, H., Robinson, A.C., & Detwiler, J. (2014)
In Journal of Educators Online (JEO), 11(3), 1-26
This study investigates the effect of geographic distance on students' distance learning experience with the aim to provide tentative answers to a fundamental question – does geographic distance matter in distance education? Using educational outcome data collected from an online master's program in Geographic Information Systems, this study calculates the distance between students' residences and the program location, and employs three hierarchical multiple regression models to examine how well geographic distance can predict a student's online learning performance, satisfaction with the program, and length of time to complete, when controlling for other relevant factors. Our research findings provide empirical evidence to support the claim that the development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has in fact overcome the potential barriers that may be associated with distance in education and has provided an effective bridge between students and educational programs. The study also reveals interesting discoveries regarding the relationship between students' distance learning experience and certain student characteristics such as age, gender, and previous academic achievement.

Oct 25, 2018 - National Geographic Endeavour II
Early in the morning, we disembarked for a pre-breakfast outing to hike up to the summit of Bartholomew Island and learn about all the interesting geological features happening on this barren terrine.
As we hiked along this iron rusty terrain, we were able to understand the process of primary succession (how life establishes for the first time on a new place), some of the first pioneer species growing here, such as the endemic lava cactus and some native grasses on the cliffs. Plenty of small cinder cones were also seen all over the place, all of them colored by the rusty red iron and breaking down over the years through erosion.
We finally made it to the highest point of the island, where a breath-taking scenery waited for us. The landscape of north and south beach of Bartholomew with greenery in the middle, the same view shown in some of the scenes of the movie "Master and Commander". After breakfast, we went snorkeling around Pinnacle rock, some of us chose to snorkel from the beach. While snorkeling we spotted several white-tipped reef sharks, a couple of Galapagos penguins swimming around us, and a large variety of colorful fish around the rocky reefs.
After lunch, National Geographic Endeavour ll repositioned to Chinese hat, a small satellite islet off the coast of Santiago Island. At Chinese hat, we went deep water snorkeling with reef sharks, chocolate chip sea stars, sea lions and schools of fish of all sorts. After snorkeling, we went Zodiac riding along the coast of Santiago and spotted a couple of Galapagos Penguins resting on the lava rocks.
We had an incredible day, swimming with penguins and sharks and hiking on remote islands.

A type of newspaper headline, (though we will qualify this later). So here is a statement of intent.In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.Verse by verse we are told what God did until we come to Ch2:1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.So we know that what is sandwiched between that opening and closing statement are the details of the forming of:The heavensThe earthAll the host of them (everything created in the heavens and earth).They were finished, (same word as ended in 2:2). In the AV, all but three of the verses between the opening statement and the closing statement begin with and. In the Hebrew, every verse (including 2:1), begins with the Hebrew word waw which is equivalent to our Englishand. It is a normal Biblical method to convey a historical unfolding of events. So Genesis 1:1 is not an isolated statement but has to be taken as the opening to a series of events which will conclude with that opening statement reaching its completion.It has unfolded a work which it states as occupying six days. But the section is not quite completed.And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 2:2-3So although the physical work of creation was completed in the six days, there was another element that God added to finally finish/end His work. That was to initiate a seventh day of rest. An important element in His work of creation, giving man a 7 day week as well as a pointer to that rest to come. We shall pursue this further when we come to consider the 7th day. At the end of the creation week we have all the elements necessary for God's work of salvation to proceed, as our chart summarises.Sharing is caring...WhatsAppFacebookTumblrSkypeTwitterLinkedInMoreTelegramPinterestPrintCreationPearce DonMake A Comment Cancel reply

Argus Leader defends request for food stamp data in front of U.S. Supreme Court
The Argus Leader newspaper is continuing its fight for food stamp data from the federal government.
Monday, the paper's lawyer argued its case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 2011, the Argus Leader wanted information about how the federal government reimburses grocery stores for food stamp purchases and filed a Freedom of Information Act request for it, which the USDA denied.
After a few lower court battles, the federal government dropped the fight. However, the Food Marketing Institute jumped in to stop the information from being released.
It argued if the newspaper gets this data and publishes it, it would hurt grocery store competition.
Argus Leader News Director Cory Myers said, "It is a little bit surreal and honestly a bit disappointing."
He continued, "The people shouldn't have to fight the government to the Supreme Court for access to information about how they spend their money."
Inside the courtroom the Food Marketing Institute's lawyer, Evan Young, put up the biggest fight to date to keep the data confidential and out of the paper's hands.
Young said after oral arguments, "If you are told to keep something confidential, you don't get to tell anybody whether or not there's a harm about it."
He argues the government should not be forced to release specific data that shows which stores people use food stamps at.
Young said, "This is a pretty easy case, at least I hope that's what the Supreme Court thinks."
The justices asked each side about 30 questions. Some of the questions drew laughs from observers, while others dove deep into the legal weeds.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked more questions than any other justice.
Lawyers are hoping to hear the court's decision in June.
