Kamenev type theorems for second-order matrix differential systems
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We consider the second order matrix differential systems (1) and (2) where and are real continuous matrix functions with symmetric and positive definite for . We establish sufficient conditions in order that all prepared solutions of (1) and (2) are oscillatory. The results obtained can be regarded as generalizing well-known results of Kamenev in the scalar case.

In this country, 25 states have enacted some form of legislation tying financial aid eligibility to student outcomes.

Complying with recordkeeping laws and information security requirements can be made easier with electronic document management. This is critical for higher ed institutions that are struggling to do more with less. This web seminar, originally broadcast on April 22, 2014, featured leaders from the Washington Student Achievement Council, a state agency working with colleges and universities to expand access to higher education in Washington. They shared how implementing electronic document management allows them to save time, money and resources, and to better serve both students and institutions.
The Education Corporation of America (ECA) is a privately held company which operates private accredited colleges across the country, including 26 campuses and an online program of Virginia College. ECA provides diplomas, associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees in professional programs designed to prepare students for direct entry into the job market. By 2008, the leadership at ECA was looking for an enrollment and financial planning software solution that could better meet their needs.
When its credit card fees hit $1.6 million in early 2011, Missouri State University officials decided there must be a better way. "Because it became so common for students and their family members to pay by credit card, the fees became unmanageable," recalls Doug Willson, the bursar for the 23,000-student institution based in Springfield, Mo. In addition to reducing fee costs, MSU desired a means to move all card processing off-site to achieve efficiencies, improve data security and reduce burdens surrounding payment card industry (PCI) regulatory compliance.
Higher ed institutions are looking for ways to move from paper-based to digital systems and to create accessible, centralized information repositories. As a result, they are increasingly using Enterprise Content Management as a way to achieve back-office efficiencies.
In her capacity as education program strategist for Laserfiche, Linda Ding has worked with universities and colleges across the country helping them implement more efficient information-management processes. Agile Campus spoke with Ding about what institutions can do to meet this objective while honing their competitive edge.
The Texas A&M University System is one of the largest systems of higher education in the United States. To reduce costs across the board, Texas A&M System's procurement office advocates the use of shared services. In 2010, the university system selected a preferred vendor for all new ECM implementations.
It wasn't long ago that most of what went on behind the scenes at Oklahoma Christian University (OC) was paper-based and cumbersome. Realizing they needed to do a better job of meeting students' expectations, OC's Director of Student Financial Services, Clint LaRue, collaborated with Vice President of Information Technology John Hermes, found a way to move the department into the 21st century and provide better customer service.
In light of President Obama's recent speech outlining his goals for higher education, the need to become more transparent, accountable and efficient has become particularly acute for those charged with managing student financial aid, says Linda Ding, education program strategist for Laserfiche.
President Obama's recent speech outlining his plan to make higher education more affordable had as its centerpiece the intent to hold institutions receiving federal funding more accountable for how well they're serving their students. Congressional approval is required to turn Obama's proposal into actionable legislation. But if it does pass, colleges and universities will face greater scrutiny than ever before. Much of this attention will be directed at student financial aid departments, compelling them to become more efficient, accountable, and transparent in their operations.
At one respected university located in the Northeast, becoming one of the leading recipients of federal research and development funds had profoundly benefited the institution. But, managing post-award research projects and grants—particularly the financial end—had become a labor-intensive, time-consuming process that kept researchers from, well, research.
The University of Central Florida (UCF) Police Department, located on the university's main campus in Orlando, has 61 sworn and 36 civilian personnel tasked with maintaining campus safety and security. It's Carla Markx's job to manage all the records, reports, and evidence flowing through the department. Markx, coordinator, statistical research, records/property & evidence manager for the department, doesn't tackle this chore alone. She's assisted by four employees in the Records Division and one in the Property and Evidence Division.
University and college police departments may operate in a smaller arena than most city law enforcement agencies, but their need for accurate and up-to-date intelligence is no different, nor are the challenges they face when trying to manage this through a paper-based system. ECM can help alleviate the problem.
An effective business continuity plan must be based on both a sound knowledge of your institution's culture and structure, as well as on well-defined policies and procedures that make the plan a part of your daily operations, rather than something that is referred to only in case of emergency.
Tornados in Oklahoma and Texas. Wild fires in California and Colorado. Hurricanes in Louisiana and tropical storms along the upper East Coast. Not only do these disasters exert a terrible toll on people and on their personal lives, but they also wreak havoc on all manner and sizes of businesses, institutions of higher education among them.

1796 Small Date, Large Letters Dollar1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters XF45 PCGS. B-4, BB-61, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. This is one of three major Guide Book varieties for the year and popular as such. The two Small Date, Large Letters die pairings are the B-4, BB-61 and the B-6, BB-64. The present pairing shows the date small but wide, the Large Letters reverse showing TE in STATES close and a single berry under the first T in STATES. In this scarcer die state, the obverse shows only two tiny wisps of hair remaining on the foremost lock, and die lapping has effaced parts of the palm leaves at ICA on the reverse. The Choice XF grade level is the highest obtainable for the issue before the price of acquisition reaches into the five-digit range. Much appeal is evident here: Pinkish-gray surfaces show considerable luster remaining, and no mentionable contact or planchet adjustment marks appear.(Registry values: P4) (PCGS# 6860)

Kid's Shoe Box 6 6
not just for kids' shoes! i love to use these boxes to organize my bathroom drawers. fill each with products & stack them up - they are the perfect size to fit & you can see right through them to easily find what you are looking for February 13, 2013
Nice little box for storage. I actually use this "kids" shoe storage box for corralling items on my desk. It's a good size and fits quite a few desk top items. August 2, 2012
Little shoes, Jewelry and more! Think outside the box for this great clear boxes. I just used them for jewelry. July 7, 2012
Love these little boxes! I have been buying these little shoe boxes for my son's nursery closet. They help stack all those little shoes that would otherwise be disorganized and difficult to find. April 30, 2012
Not just for shoes Great product that helped my organize my office supplies. Sturdy, clear boxes so I can easily see what I have stored. April 11, 2012
Useful! I'm using these to organise lots of bits and pieces so can't comment on their suitability for children's shoes but they work well for some of my other things so I'm finding them useful. November 6, 2011

Actually this post has nothing to do about the quality/gameplay of the game at all as I am strictly talking about first things done.
In response to other posters...As far as x-platform play I was talking all 3 platforms, so PC/Xbox/play station.
Poorly researched? Really.

It has nothing to do with poopin in your Cheerios, merely giving honest feedback. Merely "doing something new" is not deserving of praise if what it did was poor. Especially when you take into account just how much is being spent on this endeavor and how unlikely it is to be repeated when it falls flat on its face. If anything I am disappointed because what it is attempting to do is pretty cool, it just has not done it well. Its like every aspect that should be awesome is missing a peice. Every aspect has a "yeah but" attached to it.
Originally posted by Livnthedream
Well again this is your opinion, and I don't share your viewpoint. I think the game is done amazingly well for what it is, and that is my opinion. Is it perfect - not even close, there are things that i still hate after months of alpha play, like the UI, so yes there is a lot of room for improvement.
I can't speak for the show as I havent seen it but it is syfy, so I know what to expect, sort of a Firefly meets District 9 with guns.
Just goes to show you, some folks will not like it, and that is perfectly fine. Some will and that is fine too. I am just not a fan of making future *fail* predictions, but if it makes you feel better go right ahead.
Originally posted by DMKano
First, where have I claimed its going to fail? Second, yes, no matter how garbage just about anything is there will be some segment of the population that loves it. That whole IDIC thing afterall. Third, I honestly must ask what platform do you play the game on? If pc, do you play it with a controller? What platform do you play other shooters on? Have you actually bought into the meaningless marketing term "pixel perfect shooter"?
I ask these things because there are a number of glaring issues you seem to be glossing over. Weapon balance for example. Right now its very much go lmg or go home. Shotguns do not pack the burst to make up for their recoil and reload time. Similarly to rockets. It true Trion style they overnerfed after that first stress test weekend when everyone complained. Pistols are in an ok place, they make a solid secondary, though honestly I feel the bmg with thier added utility effects is better. The infector is an awesome gimick weapon, and is fun as hell to use, but you would have to be stupid to. The low upfront and poor splash damage just does not make it a worthwhile weapon. And don't get me started on sniper rifles. For a weapon so op in pvp, its really mediocre in most pve scenarios.
As far as graphics go it feels much like Dark Souls, or Skyrim, perfectly acceptable for console, but very unacceptable for a pc. You couple that with poor options, and extremely poor character customization and one very much wonders where they get off spouting that "pixel perfect shooter" tagline. The extremely poor AA during cutscenes especially turned me off. Speaking of which, the "untrained" guy who just had software plugged into his head and has not even been given the basics in how to use it being worth several squads of marines all on his own kinda sticks in my craw too. You talk of Firefly, well atleast Captain Reynolds survived a war to account for his skills.
Atleast you agree that the UI is poor and obviously build for console. Whats said is even though it would not help menu's much, atleast they could have taken a page from Rift and allowed you to move your interface around as you please. Afterall its built on the same Gambryo baseline. It sufferes from the same hitches and same flickering terrain.
So what plusses does the game really have? Its got the loot grind going for it. Its kinda similar to Diablo in that way. It has a as yet unseen show companent that sounds cool but we do not know if it works or not, or how in depth its actually going to be. It has a fairly gated level up system that is "shallow" per level with a stupid amount of levels. Though I really hate how useless many of the early perks are. "Recharge your self revive when you revive someone" is pretty crappy, but still required early on to head for the solid perks, like the 10% health/damage that take what feels like forever to get in the center of the grid.
So, like I have said pretty often. Is the game "bad", no. If it good? Not by a longshot. It feels very much like a poor console port, and really like nothing that stands out in the crowd. I actually bet that the game will be fairly successful based entirely on the console crowd, as its aimed at them and by current gen standards, is a solid console game. Its lacking as a current gen pc title though.

Game is/was boring. Usually I find myself at least enjoying a new world or story but here I found no reason to continue.
1) Character development is terrible. You have nothing to look forward to. The skill/talents/perks you unlock are just minor boosts and don't actually provide much reason to continue playing.
2) Equipment/weapon upgrades are just higher numbers. A tiny bit of diversity happens later on but nothing exciting.
3) TV Show and game will not affect eachother. Games in general are nothing but a massive troll fest. If actions in the game would impact the TV show we all know some large group/clan/guild would organize a troll attack to screw the outcome up so much...
4) Rushed release schedule is never EVER a good thing. Just think about how many other titles out there that DIDN'T have to meet a deadline like this and were released far too early!
5) Most Important Factor -> Game isn't fun... Pretend there wasn't a TV show. This game by itself is just bad. The idea that you'll be watching a TV show and playin the game side by side MIGHT give some people enough reason to play but I doubt it will last long.

And so your argument is invalid. Try to exit from tutorial next time.
IMHO, yes. And you can buy from sites like g2play of greenmangaming with good discounts (I pay € 37 my preorder)
Game is a shooter (with a nice storyline to follow and a good sci-fi setting). If you get bored by shooting at things, well, the game is not for you. It's not a usual MMORPG. If you are searching for the standard wow-clone MMORPG, you won't find that in Defiance
It's a shooter, I can have a newly created EGO level 1 character, equip a sniper rifle and on kill headshot people with EGO level 4000. Progression is different from MMORPGs.
That your opinion. Mine is very different. For me having to gear grind in MMORPG is not fun. Staying rooted in place pressing tab-1-2-3 is not fun. Having a "false" action combat just like Neverwinter online or GW2 is not fun.
Defiance is a shooter, if can have fun if you are interested in a shooter, but you clearly are not.

Everyone is missing the point that the TV show is being made by SyFy. So we all know its going to be canned after the first or second season. Regardless if it does good or bad. The only way something keeps going on SyFy is if its a Ghost related show or a reality show.
Whats going to happen to the game once its TV counter part is canceled. The game itself does not have much room to stand on its on. Its so generic that just about every other fps does it way better then it. There is virtually no RPG elements to the game, ect.

I agree. I purchased the game based on the premise that I hope the final release is better than the beta, or that it will get better over time. Either way, I'll probably get my 60 - 80 bucks worth out of it.
As you said, all the neat stuff that the OP claims are "firsts" don't make the game itself better, and as you mentioned, some of them might actually hurt it. I was disappointed to not see many things that I would expect in any "MMO" (regardless of the fact is is a shooter) like a bank, some sort of auction house, etc.. The game basically boils down to a major grindfest with a lackluster EGO system and only 2 pieces of gear to work with.
I am not saying the game isn't/won't be worth the money you pay for it, but if you are expecting <insert your favorite fantasy MMO here> as a shooter, this is not going to be the game for you.

A lot of your points are valid and I my intention is not to get into a tit-for-tat pissing contest, so if this comes across in this way I have failed to communicate effectively.
Pixel perfect shooter is more than a marketing term, yes it is a stupid phrase, but in Defiances case it is true - tested this extensively in alpha, aiming for the edge pixel on the targets head, - headshot every time. For example fire fall is NOT a pixel perfect shooter, their engine is not designed for 100% validation on every shot fired, so you miss randomly. Test it yourself, to me this matters, to some it doesn't.
I hate the UI, I play the PC and Xbox versions, have put close to 300 hours played on PC alpha. The UI sucks on the PC, if you can believe it, thr ui sucked even worse in early alpha, yeah what is in game today is an updated version /facepalm
The game was actually coded for PC first and than ported to consoles, but doesn't really matter, a lot of folks will call it a bad console port, oh well again it makes no difference when you don't like it you don't like it.
Last thing I want to correct is that Defiance uses gamebryo baseline (or Gamebryo engine in any way) - it doesn't the Defiance engine was written from scratch by Trion, the team has some devs who coded WoW's engine - ex Blizzard devs. Also completely different dev team than Rift, Defiance is Trion San Diego, Rift was done by Trion Redwood city.
Again the game is not for everybody, nor is it perfect, there are a lot of flaws, but it comes down to individual taste, I still like it and find it fun, but I am not going to pretend like there are no flaws.

A new year let's hope for new games that don't suck.
I tried beta 3 on the PS3 platform and I did have fun with it. However I'm still debating whether to buy the game or not.
This is a game I would have considered more on buying if it was being released in a different part of the year where other big games were not releasing.
The fact that I keep debating with myself to preorder it or not tells me it's not a good enough game that really grabs me, has me addicted to the gameplay and the story to the game, (not the show) does not engross me at all.
Put it this way I am more eager for the new content for 'Borderlands 2' which some of it releases on April 2nd. I'm also a huge 'Dead Island' fan and the new 'Riptide' releases April 23rd. These two games outshine 'Defiance' by far so I can't legitimately convince myself to buy 'Defiance'.

Nice writeup. It really feels fresh with the combination of third person shooting and the social aspects of an MMO. The only thing it's missing is a bar that my friends and I can enter and get drunk between missions.

It's very rare that the people who play an MMO give a damn about the storyline. What events will cross over to the TV show - gold sellers? Farmers? Will there be someone in each town naked and dancing in the center?
2) Nope, Hellgate London had a Halloween hard launch date - it was an unmitigated disaster. (it's gone FTP under a different company now since Flagship is gone)
3) That just means more time spent on multiple platforms instead of gameplay and features. FF did it but not with the 360.
4) Kinda a given considering point 3, eh? Oh and Eve-Online is tied with another game entirely and they both exist in the same universe on multiple platforms (Eve: PC & MAC- Dust 514: PS3). Two different games - 3 platforms - One Universe. Personally I find that to be more impressive. I can shoot at people in Dust from Eve:Online.
Honestly, none of that matters. It's a substandard MMO with a bad UI, horrible social communication issues (felt like a single player game), terrible VoIP, and, after two days already felt repetative as hell.

It is not just that the menu's and such are clunky, but that its so easy to fix. I could live with the clunky menu's if we had a decently centralized ui, or could make it decently centralized. Though thats something they will likely sell us later as DLC :)
Pull up the exe file and run it in basecode. While I do not disagree that it has been heavily modified (Just like Rift) it still has all of the function calls there. You sound like those who were going on about Skyrim before its launch saying that it had a brand new engine, when Creation is just modified Gambryo. Also WoWs engine is nothing more than a heavily modified Unreal 3, the same engine that was used in Warcraft 3. And whether it is a new office or not does not make it feel any less phoned in. I played Rift for its first year, and came back for Storm Legion. All of the same balance issues are there. The same server hitches in large fights (I can link you the threads from the Rift boards, and you should be able to find the complaint threads in the Alpha boards) not to mention flickering terrain, and that is with testing 2 different video cards, and in the case of Rift 2 completely different hardware configs.
A better question for your op is "what does Defiance do better than other games available" and the sad answer to that, is nothing right now.

I'm very dubious about the TV-show tie-in.
How many shows actually get to a second season ? It has to have very solid ratings not to get canned (sometimes even before the end of the first season...).
How will the game fare without the TV show to give it the additional "angle" ? How many episodes of the show will there be in Season 1 ? Around 3 months' worth is about standard.
If the TV series gets canned due to poor ratings and SyFy not getting enough advertiser spend, won't that be disastrous publicity for the game ? Would the average gamer really want to buy and play a game based on a terrible TV series ?

Mark Griffin
Mark Griffin is a Westerner who was born in the 1950's in the Pacific Northwest. His early adult years were spent in the aggressive pursuit of higher knowledge and purpose. While a young man, Mark's studies in art and music brought him to the San Francisco Bay area. There in 1976 he met his Guru, Baba Muktananda. After years of full-time immersion in the study of meditation, Mark encountered a milestone of extreme spiritual significance – entrance into the advanced state of consciousness known as Nirvikalpa Samadhi. After Muktananda died, Mark continued to study with the great teachers of the Kagyu tradition, Kalu Rinpoche and Chogyam Trungpa, who supported the maturing and stabilizing of his abilities.
When Mark Griffin met Baba Muktananda he immediately realized that Baba was his Guru, his true teacher. Baba's Guru was the great saint of India, Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri. Therefore Mark has a heart-felt connection to the Tansa Valley and wishes to continue in the great tradition of Bhagawan Nityananda of helping the "first people" of India.
Lee Schwing
Lee first traveled to the Tansa valley in 1980 to live In Swami Muktananda's Gurudev Siddha Peeth ashram. During the year she lived in the ashram, Lee developed a deep connection with the profound spiritual presence of the many Siddha Gurus who have lived in this valley for thousands of years. After having helped Mark Griffin found the Hard Light Center of Awakening (www.HardLight.org) in 1989, Mark and Lee brought a small group of volunteers to Ganeshprui to access the needs of the local villagers – with an eye to forming a non-profit. In 2005 Mark and Lee founded: the Third Millennium Awakening.
TMA is a 501c3 organization with the focus on clean water which locally produces bio-sand water filters (http://www.tmaseva.org/biosand-water), as well as improving the quality of life for the "first people" of India. Over the years, Lee has had a strong guiding hand in how TMA interfaces with its Indian partners by researching technologies, networking with western partners, and fundraising.

Dodge Ram Van 2500 Problem Report
Dodge Ram Van 2500 High Blower Only Due to Failed Blower Motor Resistor
(15 reports)
The HVAC blower may operate on high speed only. This is commonly caused by a failed blower motor resistor. Chrysler has released a revised part to address this problem.

Replaced blower motor resistor several times after twice losing all blower speeds except high, and then only after losing the middle speed. New resistors last less than a year before they fail. If there is a revised resistor who is the manufacturer and what is the part number I need to stock up. - plevakas

Blower only works on high. replaced blower motor resistor and it worked for only about 8 months. I noticed the connector to the resistor is melted on one end. - Visitor
Soved problem here. Heat fan worked only in high setting. I changed the resistor that is under connected to the heater casing (a big black plastic cover) that is located on you the left side when you open the hood. It surprise me that is quite small, I removed the two screws and took it to the local auto parts. When I changed the first one didnt work. I bought a second one from a different brand and too it didnt work. I was thinking to go to the dealer and get an original, but I decided to check carefully the cable and the connections and indeed I found that one of the connectors was very slightly and unnotizable burned, moved and pushed those cables while I had the heater on the middle possition and kept trying until it finally worked. Now I will change that connector tomorrow and will retun one of the resistors. Dont forget to check the both fuses from your glove compartment and the hood. Indicated locations are on the drivers manual. - Visitor

Our Services
Explore health content from A to Z.
I need information about...
A biopsy is a small sample of tissue or fluid taken from the body. This sample can then be studied in a laboratory. Image-guided biopsy lets your health care provider take a sample from an abnormal mass without surgery. This procedure is done by a general radiologist. It can also be done by a specially trained doctor called an interventional radiologist.
Follow any instructions you are given on how to get ready. This includes:
Follow any directions you're given for not eating or drinking before the procedure.
Tell your technologist what medicines, herbs, or supplements you take. Also tell the technologist if you are or may be pregnant, or if you are allergic to any medicines.
You will change into a hospital gown and lie on an X-ray table. You may lie on your back, front, or side. Your position depends on where the biopsy is to be done.
An IV (intravenous) line is started. This is to give you fluids and medicines. You may be given medicine through the IV to help you relax.
The skin over the biopsy site is cleaned. Medicine is put on the site to numb the skin.
The radiologist will use CT (computed tomography), MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound images as a guide. He or she will put a thin, hollow needle through the skin. He or she will guide it to the area where the biopsy is to be done.
The needle is used to take a sample of tissue or fluid from the area. The needle is then taken out. The sample is sent to the pathologist. He or she will look for cells that aren't normal.
Possible risks and complications of the procedure include:
Bruising or bleeding at the place where the needle was put in
Bleeding inside your body
Damage to body areas along the path of the needle
You will most likely be able to go home within a few hours.
Be sure to have a friend or family member drive you home if you have had sedation.
Care for the insertion site as directed.

NREL brings plug and play to smart grid testing
By: SGN Staff
By the end of the year, researchers should have the opportunity to test renewables and other smart grid technologies before hooking them up to the electric grid. DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory is building a series of electrically interconnected laboratories researchers can use to test their technologies in simulated and real settings.
How does the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) work? NREL says its plug and play adaptability will be enabled by the Research Electrical Distribution Bus (REDB) which will act as a power integration circuit able to connect multiple sources of energy, interconnecting laboratories and experiments.
"Each lab in ESIF has its own niche with different kinds of equipment and functionality fostering research on all aspects of energy integration," said NREL electrical engineer Greg Martin. "There is nowhere else where you can bring in a piece of equipment, connect it up, and be testing in a matter of days - along with the type of data acquisition we can provide."
He added that NREL wants to provide a platform where other laboratories, government, industry and utilities can develop technologies for the energy marketplace of the future. ESIF also is working on making virtual connections to other laboratories across the country so they can share their expertise. The facility is expected to be completed by year end.

2010 action-comedy based on the comic book published by Vertigo.< read all 6 reviews
When Alex Proyas adapted the independent comic book "The Crow" to the screen it was one of the few and the only other big comic book adaptation of the 90's. The other being the widely popular Batman films that came out from 1992-1997(One directed by Tim Burton, two directed by Joel Schumacher.) but since "The Crow" massive commercial and critical success no other independent comic book has stepped up to the plate to fill the shoes "The Crow" left behind. That is until a little know director Sylvain White and his writers Peter Berg James Vanderbilt adapted for the screen an extremely little know comic book published by Vertigo X tentatively called "The Losers ". While this film may seem like another A-Team let, you tell you right now that you have never meet a team quite like "The Losers.
Sylvain White's hilarious and audacious comic book adaptation is a work of art, well it is more like a grunge band song mixed with some good old action values, and revenge is a dish best severed cold. This film dish out some seriously cold justice to the baddies with ultra style and flare although films like "The Losers" lost there following at the end of the 90's. director Sylvain White knows this and while he has knowledge that some will not take kindly to a throwback action film, others will embrace it with open arms feeling nostalgic for the days of "FACE/OFF"(1997) and "Die Hard"(1989) and all the other great action films of the 80's and 90's. Some may find "The Losers" well a loser and others will find it to be an extravagant and very well executed action comedy with some serious intellect, it's the kind of film that is just too good to resist and even harder to hate.
What I like most about "The Losers" is the care that was taken into telling the story it is quite well crafted and played out on screen, how all the characters seem to bounce jokes and witty dialogue off of each other. It gave the film a sense that these group of actors had worked together many times before and know how each other tick and that to me is something special it gives the film a better more buddy, buddy type feel instead of a stark military action picture type feel. What makes it feel this way is the joke filled script by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt they lay on the jokes, the charm, the cool hip vibe and the intelligence to make this action picture stand out amongst the crowd, while it may not seem like "The Losers" should work, it does. It is an action film I am proud to say that I laughed so hard it hurt and was completely riveted by this film.
The well know ensemble cast including Jeffery Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Zoë Saldana, Chris Evans, Columbus Short, Oscar Jaendada, Holt McCallany and Jason Patric(who this film could have seriously done without.) deliver fine performances in a film that is better than it should be and allot more keen and intelligent than we would have thought. There performances that including Chris Evans, Jeffery Dean Morgan and Zoë Saldana are three that must work so that the others can survive if any of theses three fail than the whole film comes crashing down with the rest of the cast. It is only to them and the quick-witted script that this flawed but extremely worthy film can gain that title, it succeeds on the actor alone.
This film is not perfect it has its flaws and has its holes but the holes in this film are relatively minor ones that you do not really notice unless you are looking for them. From an action fans viewpoint this film is everything you could hope for in an action picture, and I know I have said that a few times but for some films it is mostly true and for "The Losers" it is spot on. I will admit that there were some moments where I questioned this films intention and then someone cracked a joke pr something very intriguing happened and I suddenly did not care anymore. It is a throwback essentially, a throwback to the days when films were entertainment and not super intelligent, scientifically accurate like all films must be today or they will rip it up and burn it. "The Losers" doesn't care it's here to entertain and give you some good laughs with your explosions along the way and if your forgiving I can promise you "The Losers" will deliver.

To The Editor:
Kudos to The Valley Reporter for its extraordinary coverage of Hurricane Irene and its aftermath. In 50 years as a reporter and editor, I have rarely seen a natural disaster covered more extensively or perceptively.
The comprehensive articles were matched by extraordinary photographs in
their descriptions of the devastation wrought by the hurricane, and the
inspiring community spirit that saw Valley residents roll up their
sleeves and pitch in to alleviate the damage. Your wonderful newspaper
allows us to keep up with The Valley even though we're 500 miles away.

|Criterion A
|As one of few surviving farmhouses on Lamb Island, Pioneer Hall also maintains an association with the development of farming on the island [originally Ngudooroo] from the 1870s.
|Criterion G
|Lamb Island Pioneer Hall, erected c1924 as a farmhouse, represents a focal point for communal activities on the Island, and maintains a special association with the Lamb Island community.
|Pioneer Hall was erected reputedly in 1924, as a farmhouse for Cecil Hine of Lamb Island. Ngudooroo, or Lamb Island as it was later known, was one of a group of islands in Moreton Bay which included Macleay, Russell and Karragarra Islands, located southeast of Cleveland and east of Redland Bay. The four islands appear to have been surveyed during the late 1860s and early 1870s, and portions of land on the islands were auctioned from this time. The whole of Ngudooroo was acquired by John Harris in 1871. John and his brother George had a shipping and importing business in Brisbane from the late 1850s to the 1870s. J & G Harris also acquired land on the southern end of Macleay Island which they subsequently advertised for sale in 1871 as a Valuable Freehold Sugar Estate. The Harris brothers' firm was declared insolvent in 1878, and John's land on Lamb Island was transferred to Arthur Biddle, then to Joseph Darragh, and John Cameron, the Brisbane auctioneer. Cameron sold the land in 1886, and subdivision of the island commenced the following year. The land changed hands a number of times before it was acquired by Hine in 1919. Locally, it is understood that Hine arrived at Lamb Island in the mid 1910s, and married Amelia Cox in 1923. By the mid 1920s, Hine's farm was one of approximately five farms on the island. Lamb and the neighbouring islands are recorded as producing fruit crops such as pineapples and bananas by the twentieth century. Oyster gathering was also carried out on the islands. Hine extended his farmhouse reputedly in the mid 1930s, and sold the property in 1956. The property came under the control of the Redland Shire Council in 1974. In 1976 a meeting was held in the "old farmhouse" to re-form the Lamb Island Progress Association. The farmhouse, by then in a deteriorated condition, was repaired by the community in 1977 and became known as Pioneer Hall. The official opening of Pioneer Hall was held in May 1978. The Hall continues to be used extensively as a venue for community functions and groups, and is understood to be one of few extant early twentieth century farmhouse buildings on the island.
|The Lamb Island Pioneer Hall is a modest timber cottage located at the end of Lucas Drive on the easterly side of Lamb Island. It is sited on the edge of a hill that slopes down towards Moreton Bay, overlooking treed recreation grounds. The building has a gabled corrugated iron roof over a simple rectangular structure resting on timber stumps, and has verandahs with skillion roofs to the west and east (the latter is now enclosed). The building is entered via central stairs to the western verandah, and the eastern verandah commands views of the Bay. The building is clad for the most part in weatherboard, excepting a chamferboard section to the western (front) verandah. It has a corrugated iron watertank and former stove recess to the north-west corner, and timber stairs at each end of the eastern verandah. Internally, the Lamb Island Pioneer Hall comprises four rooms: a kitchen and library to the eastern side and a larger meeting/recreation room (formerly two rooms) adjoining an enclosed verandah to the western side. The walls and ceilings are lined with vertically jointed timber boards, and some rooms have exposed internal framing. The hall contains pictures and artefacts that relate to its history, including: a painted timber sign that reads FARM HOME of Mr & Mrs C.A. HINE BUILT in 1924, photographs of the building and its users, and paintings of the building by local residents.

I had the working code with x86 and I tried to convert to x64 simply I changed the registers' names to be that of x64 and the object file generated without errors but when I use it inside my C function I always get sum = 0. I think there's a problem with the arguments location and I didn't find a good documentation for such issues. section .text global addi addi: push rbp mov rbp, rsp mov rax,[rbp+12] mov rdx,[rbp+8] add rax, rdx (HowTos)
