Water manipulation
Morris "Morrie" Bench gained his superpowers while working as a crewman on the cargo ship the U.S.S. Bulldog, having been knocked overboard accidentally by Spider-Man (right after the hero finished a fight against Namor) while a powerful experimental generator is being tested in the ocean. The combination of unknown radiation and his immersion in a deep ocean dwelling bacteria turns him into Hydro-Man. When he realized that he had become a man-of-water, he blamed Spider-Man for his accident and started to hunt him (through many showers, sewers and water valves), in order to get revenge on the hero, but was defeated in combat.[2]
Soon after that, in the story arc "Eye of the Beholder", he teams up with and briefly becomes merged with the Sandman into a composite mud/quicksand-like creature called Mud-Thing. In this form, Hydro-Man and Sandman had limited intelligence, and they did not have the ability to use their shape-shifting abilities as well as before. Although it was composed of the two aforementioned villains, it showed no indication of either villain's persona, outside of an infatuation with Sadie Frickett, the current love interest of both villains. Soon after, a theater agent named Travis Rave proposed that Sadie and Mud-Thing be in a show, which Sadie gladly accepted at the prospect of stardom. Unfortunately, when the show proved to be a huge success, Sadie accidentally kissed Travis out of excitement, thereby enraging the jealous Mud-Thing. Mud-Thing ended up going on a rampage and carried Sadie with him to the top a sky-scraper. The creature was eventually defeated with a special gas that dried it out and caused it to crumble apart. Spider-Man managed to save Sadie from her plummet, but she ended up being genuinely upset over the loss of Mud-Thing, knowing that all it had ever done wrong was simply love her. After its defeat by Spider-Man and the police, Sandman and Hydro-Man separated from this form when the police were cleaning up Mud-Thing's remains.[3]
Hydro-Man is a typical low rent super criminal, joining supervillain teams such as the Sinister Syndicate,[4] including that of the Frightful Four. While working with the Sinister Syndicate, Hydro-Man demonstrates a willingness to put up with just about anything in the name of financial gain. He ignores the constant politicking of the other members and looks past the Beetle's betrayal of the group to the Kingpin in the belief that the group was economically beneficial to him.
Hydro Man was a member of Crimson Cowl's Masters of Evil, and battled the Thunderbolts.[5][6] After the disintegration of the group, he began to cooperate with the Shocker.[7] He was hired by the Green Goblin to be part of his Sinister Twelve to help kill Spider-Man, but he was defeated again.[8]
Morris was one of the 46 villains to escape the Raft when Sauron was broken out by Electro. Before escaping, he attempts to drown Jessica Drew, Matt Murdock, Foggy Nelson, and Luke Cage.[9]
After the Civil War storyline, he is seen alongside Shocker and Boomerang. This group attempts to rob Baily's Auction House but are interrupted by Spider-Man and then Initiative members War Machine and Komodo. The latter are there to neutralize Spider-Man. The trio escapes, but they are later defeated by the Scarlet Spiders.[10]
When a member of Wizard's Frightful Five, Hydro-Man received a costume from Wizard that is made from the same material as the Human Torch's costume. In the Frightful Five's fight with the Fantastic Four, Hydro-Man was frozen in Titan's atmosphere.[11]
Hydro-Man is hired by the Hood to take advantage of the split in the superhero community caused by the Superhuman Registration Act.[12]
Hydro-Man appeared in Brand New Day as one of the villains in the Bar with No Name.[volume & issue needed]
During the Spider-Island storyline, Hydro battles the Young Allies and Spider-Man.[13]
When Spider-Man, his mind swapped with Doctor Octopus, sends a message to various supervillains to capture "Spider-Man" alive and bring him to "Doctor Octopus" in the Raft, Hydro Man is among the supervillains that receives the message.[14] He is defeated and captured by employees of Horizon Labs.[15]
Unnamed criminal[edit]
Following Spider-Man's fight with Goblin King, it was revealed that Roderick Kingsley sold one of Hydro-Man's costumes to an unnamed criminal as he was seen with the other former Hobgoblin minions at the Bar with No Name where they have an encounter with Electro.[16]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Hydro-Man is able to bodily transform himself into a watery liquid substance; he can access secure areas and small openings with relative ease; when his bodily mass is dispersed in this form it simply reforms, albeit slowly depending on how far apart the mass was. All of Hydro-Man's cells remain fully under his control when he is in his liquid state. Hydro-Man can also merge with and manipulate larger bodies of water when he is in his water form. He can increase his mass and cause tidal waves and tsunamis. He can turn parts of his body to liquid while retaining the rest of his human form, allowing him to slip from a foe's grasp or have projectiles like bullets harmlessly pass through him. Through great mental exertion, Hydro-Man can also turn into steam. Other examples of manipulating his watery form include firing off small streams such as a fire hose, shaping parts of his body into 'solid-water', constructs, and mixing himself with other compounds for different effects. However, this last example to defeat Hydro-Man can be using other compounds against him, since certain substances can either harden him (like cement or concrete), or make him feel sick (such as fire-extinguishers and chlorine). The Wizard enhanced his powers, through the use of sophisticated equipment.[volume & issue needed] These artificial enhancements granted him increased and more precise control over bodies of water and moisture near him, which he demonstrated by absorbing nearly all the moisture in the Trapster's body.[volume & issue needed] However, Spider-Man teamed up with Iceman and used Iceman's powers to solidify him into ice.[volume & issue needed] Hydro-Man claims that he has not aged since he gained his powers.[17] Hydro-Man possesses a certain degree of superhuman strength, and has been shown to be an exceptionally skilled fighter, and adept at using his powers for that purpose. In some incarnations, depending on the writer, Hydro-Man can form his forearms into weapons such as Sandman does, except that Bench's weapons are made of water.[volume & issue needed] Bench has extensive experience in street-fighting techniques due to his experience as a criminal before his transformation. Though cunning, he has been consistently depicted by writers as a low tier henchman with little formal education and is often tricked into using his powers in ways that incapacitate him (as explained above). His normal attire consists of a black shirt and blue/or green pants, as well as a costume invented by the Wizard.
Other versions[edit]
Spider-Man: Reign[edit]
Hydro-Man appears in Spider-Man: Reign as a member of the Sinner Six. They are in the control of the tyrannical mayor of New York. Hydro-Man dies when he comes into contact with Electro during an attempt to kill Spider-Man.[18]
In other media[edit]
- Hydro-Man first appears in the 1990s Spider-Man episode "Hydro-Man", voiced by Rob Paulsen. This version is portrayed as Mary Jane Watson's former boyfriend who has returned to reclaim Mary Jane Watson's love. Morris Bench once dated Mary Jane in high school, but she broke up with him after realizing she had made a big mistake. Soon after, Morrie was expelled from school and his parents enlisted him in the navy, thinking it would keep him out of trouble. While in the special research unit working as a crewman he was knocked overboard into the ocean where his body was covered by a strange chemical which changed his cellular structure, allowing him to control any liquid at will, and turn into water. However, as M.J. repeatedly rejects Bench's advances, Hydro-Man becomes even more desperate in his attempts and incensed against Spider-Man as a competitor. After robbing a museum and stashing untold amounts of riches inside a water filtration plant, Hydro-Man kidnaps Mary Jane and keeps her inside the plant. Upon an eventual discovery of the plant, Spider-Man and Hydro-Man fight it out over Mary Jane, which eventually evolves into a battle on a high-rise rooftop away from the water. He attempts to attack Spider-Man physically only to end up evaporated, due to his being separated from the water that feeds him. Hydro-Man again appears in a two-part Season 5 episode, "The Return of Hydro-Man." However, Hydro-Man was really a clone of the original Hydro-Man created by Professor Miles Warren. He kidnaps Mary Jane again, which leads to the final encounter in the underwater base, where Miles works. After Miles explained his story of how he cloned Hydro-Man and Mary Jane to Spider-Man, the clones dissolve into water and evaporate. Hydro-Man was utilized in place of the Sandman, who was unavailable for use in the show due to being considered as one of the villains in James Cameron's attempted Spider-Man film.[19]
- Hydro-Man appears in the Fantastic Four episode "And the Wind Cries Medusa", voiced by Brad Garrett. In this appearance, he is a member of the Wizard's Frightful Four. On a related note, this episode aired one week from Hydro-Man's debut appearance in Spider-Man.
- Morris Bench appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man episode "Shear Strength," voiced by Bill Fagerbakke. He appears as a demolition expert for Norman Osborn, a rich industrialist. When the bomb has countdown was accidentally activated by the Master Planner, Bench was unable to fix it and there would not be enough time for Norman, Donald Menken, and him to escape. However, Spider-Man arrived and saved them from getting killed.
Video games[edit]
- Hydro-Man appears in the Spider-Man Questprobe game, and in the Spider-Man Animated Series game for Super Nintendo while in the Sewer Level.
- Hydro-Man is featured as a boss in the Facebook game Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
- Hydro-Man has been featured as a mid-level boss in the mobile game Spider-Man Unlimited, voiced by Matthew Mercer.
- Hydro-Man can be seen in the Islands of Adventure ride The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Universal Orlando Resort voiced by Bill Fagerbakke. He appears as a member of the Sinister Syndicate. He uses his abilities at one point to throw water at guests and Spider-Man, before knocking them away. Later during the climax on the roofs of New York, he attacked Spider-Man yet again, before Electro collided with him, seemingly destroying him as he is not seen with the rest of the Syndicate during the final scene.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data An electron, mass m, collides head-on with mass M, initially at rest. As a result of the collision, a characteristic amount of energy E is stored internally within the atom. What is the minimum initial speed v0 that the electron must have? (Hint: Conservation principles lead to a quadratic equation for the final electron speed v and a quadratic equation for the final atom speed V. The minimum value v0 follows from the requirement that the radical in the solutions for v and V be real.) 2. Relevant equations [tex] P=mv [/tex] [tex] KE = mv^2/2 [/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution At first glance, I can tell its a momentum problem since its a collision and I'm given variables for mass and velocity. Since characteristic energy E is stored as a result of the collision, I know that this is an inelastic collision because kinetic energy is not conserved. Since I know that the conservation of momentum still applies, I can say: (1) mv0 = mv + MV And also, since I know that total energy is conserved, I can also say: (2) (1/2)mv02 = (1/2)mv2 + (1/2)MV2 + E I've worked through this problem several times, and I know that somewhere I will get a quadratic equation for v or V, depending on which of the two I eliminate, then end up using the quadratic formula to get a solution. If I eliminate the variable V (via substitution or whatever technique), I'm "supposed" to end up with the equation: (3) (1 + m/M)v2 - (2m/M)v0v + 2E - (1 - m/M)v02 = 0. I understand the concepts behind how the result is gotten, the problem is that when I do the substitution, I get the same result, except I end up with a 2E/m instead of a 2E. I'm not sure if I'm right or not, because if I attach units to equation (3) that my book and the TA gave me, it doesn't make sense to add Joules (kg m^2/s^2) to an equation where the rest of the units are m^2/s^2. Moving along, solving for v yields: (4) v = (m/M)v0 (+/-) [v02 - 2E(m+M)/mM]^(1/2) from there you can just say that the minimum value of v0 is the square root of 2E(m+M)/mM. As I stated before, I know the basic concepts, but I'm not sure how they got (3) from (1) and (2). Did the book and the TAs make a mistake?

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific?
The Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu's (DTT) Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific is one of Asia's most objective rankings for the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industries. It was created to recognize the effort and dedication of the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in Asia Pacific. It includes both public and private companies.
When and why did DTT create a Technology Fast 500?
The original program, the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 North America, was founded in 1995. In 2002, DTT expanded the program to Asia Pacific. The ranking of established and emerging high-growth companies in the region is a tribute to those that continue to thrive—even during times of economic slowdown. It is companies such as these that will likely be key forces behind economic growth in Asia Pacific for years to come.
Furthermore, since award winners likely will continue to grow at a rapid pace and be the source of future technological advances, this DTT program recognizes, rewards and raises the profile of the fastest-growing firms.
Do companies benefit from their participation in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific?
A position in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific ranking helps companies to create awareness, build credibility, attract business partners and increase employee pride. It also generates immense media coverage. Additional value comes from the fact that the program is one of only a few that focuses on pure technology, media and telecommunications industry segments.
Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific winners are part of an elite global group, with the potential to network and create a community of companies that, in turn, can promote a platform of best practices.
What do Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific winners receive?
In addition to the recognition of appearing on the winners list, and the associated publicity for the achievement, Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific companies receive a complimentary PDF softcopy of the ranking.
What are the program's important dates?
Nomination period: June - September 30, 2015
Revenue support due: September 30, 2015
Winner's announcement: November 2015
Who are the primary contacts?
Asia Pacific - Yvonne Dow, email@example.com
What are the program's social media handles?
@DeloitteTMT and #fast500
Where do entries originate for the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific?
The list is compiled from three sources:
1. Regional Technology Fast 50 winners in Asia Pacific
2. Nominations submitted directly to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific
3. From DTT's own research of public companies
How does Deloitte determine the winners?
The 2015 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific winners are determined using THREE-year percentage growth for each company. In 2015, companies are ranked on percentage of stated revenue growth between 2011 and 2014 (or 2012 to 2015 for a financial year ending between January and June). The 500 that meet the strict definition of "technology companies with the fastest-growth over four years" make the list. DTT assumes that all information provided by each company is accurate and does not independently verify such information.
Why is individual company revenue NOT revealed in the list?
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific ranking is based on the percentage of annual stated revenue growth. Many of the winning companies are private organizations and are not required to reveal their revenue under Asia Pacific laws. The Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific program is respectful of this custom.
Who administers the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific?
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific program is administered by DTT's Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) global industry group. This TMT group has extensive knowledge of companies operating in these industries and the challenges they face. Deloitte member firm TMT practices provide a global network of dedicated professionals who can deliver innovative solutions to clients worldwide.
Is there a list of past Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific winners?
Yes. Lists and press releases for our winners in Asia Pacific date back to 2004 and are available via Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific website, or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Does DTT sponsor other Technology Fast 500 programs around the world?
Yes, DTT and its member firms have Technology Fast 500 programs not only in Asia Pacific, but also in North America (since 1995) and in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa).

Best bike route still to come (2008)
Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway
There's a reason that outfits like Corcoran, Thor Equities, and Prudential Douglas Elliman open their wallets for the proposed Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway. For them, 14 miles of car-free bike path along the East River could deliver a crush of renters and condo-buyers to neighborhoods otherwise hard to reach. The rest of us proles will still be able to enjoy the trip from Sunset Park to Red Hook, through Vinegar Hill and Greenpoint, on to Williamsburg and points beyond. Goodbye, G train, and hello, Schwinn. Conceived by Milton Purlyear in 1993, the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway began a steady advance this year from abstraction to reality. The city Department of Transportation began putting up signs for the route in Red Hook. An overhaul of Kent Avenue, at the western edge of Williamsburg, included designated lanes for bikes. It's possible that permanent pathways could replace these interim fixes for a total of five protected miles before Mayor Mike leaves office in 2009. Welcome to the new New York.

Crowds watching the BSO at the Pier Approach stage last summer
Steven Smith, Chief Reporter / / News
A PROGRAMME of music, dance and movies has been announced for the events space at Pier Approach.
The former Imax site will play host to the OnStage at Pier Approach programme, backed by Co Wheels Car Company and Bournemouth Borough Council, between Monday and August 24.
The free events are in addition to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra concerts on Saturday, August 9, for which a ticket ballot was held earlier this month.
Shows over the next month will include Madness and Stevie Wonder tribute acts, the ACM Gospel Choir, open air film nights and a party band playing songs inspired by Mumford and Sons and Avicii.
Councillor Lawrence Williams, cabinet member for tourism, leisure and culture, said: "Bournemouth is renowned for hosting a number of fantastic free summer events for residents and visitors to enjoy. We hope another impressive line-up this year will get the crowds down to the seafront to enjoy the entertainment on offer. I would encourage everyone to take a look at Bournemouth.co.uk to see what's on and make sure they don't miss out."
As well as the OnStage at Pier Approach events, a number of other opportunities for fun in the town take place throughout the summer.
The Friday Family Fiesta has already started running every Friday until August 22, offering families a combination of entertainment, including fireworks at 10pm, circus workshops and shows, fire performances, stilt walkers and more.
The Kids Family Fun Festival is free, with children's shows in the Lower Gardens, art workshops, performing magicians, jesters, puppet workshops, comedy, party games and more.
Families can join in every day from 11am – 5pm from Monday until August 24.
Candlelight Nights will also be back to illuminate the Lower Gardens from July 30 through to August 20.
One of Bournemouth's oldest traditions, the candles will be lit at dusk.

Watford 1-2 Manchester City Premier League 2nd January 2016
Manchester City secured a dramatic late comeback win at Vicarage Road, a victory which sees them keep the pressure on league leaders Arsenal.
Watford have been one of the surprise packages of the season, and they once again produced an energetic display, with forwards Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo a constant threat.
Joe Hart called it the worst day of his Manchester City career as City were put to the sword by a rampant United side 4-2 at Old Trafford.
The score actually flatters City, who except for an opening spell when they went 1-0 up through Sergio Aguero were second best all day. United were too strong, too hungry and too powerful.
Lionel Messi, what can one say!!!! Maniuel Pelligrini summed it up better than anyone - " When Messi gets the ball, he unbalances everything. " Technically that was happening all through the match yesterday. Not only for Manchester City defender also for Barca attackers. Other than that I don't have any explanation for the tons of lost chances apart from the two word "Joe Hart".
Messi and Hart head and shoulders above the rest as City crash out - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Two players left their mark on this match, Messi was magnificent and Joe Hart was heroic, but ultimately, England's last remaining representative in this seasons Champions League were deservedly eliminated at the expense of Barcelona, who qualify for the quarter finals for a record eighth year in a row.
Video Lionel Messi penalty miss vs Man City 2015 for Barcelona- Joe Hart save is a post from Soccer Blogger. Follow Soccer Blogger on Twitter
England goalkeeper Joe Hart says he wants to stay at Manchester City for the rest of his career as he prepares to sign a new contract.
The 27-year-old has reportedly been in talks over a lucrative new five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium for several months.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini last week said he expected negotiations to be completed imminently and Hart has now revealed the contract is all but signed.
The evening game on Saturday between Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City brought one of the most bizarre incidents of the season so far.
City were awarded a free kick inside their own penalty area. The man in the middle, Mike Dean was positioned on the halfway line. Joe Hart took the kick and seemed to pass it straight to Charlie Austin, who had no hesitation in scoring.
Valdes or Hart: Whom should Liverpool pursue as Mignolet competitor? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Liverpool's tough start to the Premier League season has seen them concede 8 goals in 5 games. The Reds have only managed to win twice and were lucky to scrape past Ludogorets and Middlesbrough in the Champions League and the Capital One Cup respectively.
Premier League champions Manchester City plays Newcastle United at St James' Park today in a match where Joe Hart starts in goal for City instead of Willy Caballero. In other team news, Sergio Aguero is on the bench as is Pablo Zabaleta.
For Newcastle, there are Premier League debuts for Emmanuel Rivere, Remy Cabella and Daryk Janmaat.
Manchester City has unveiled its away shirt for the 2014/15 season.
Joe Hart, James Milner, Jesús Navas and Stevan Jovetic unveiled the club's new away shirt last night in Manhattan's Hudson Mercantile area.
The Manchester City away shirt features a dark blue collar with a lighter blue v-shaped insert, while the body consists of a series of blue bands.
For those who missed it, Francesco Totti scored a lovely goal vs. Manchester City in the Champions League. He ran onto a beautifully waited through-ball and delicately chipped the ball over Joe Hart. In Spanish, there are several terms for "chip." Many say cucharrita, which literally means "little spoon.
By Chris Wright
The seemingly ageless Francesco Totti is nowthe oldest goalscorer in the history of European football (surpassing Ryan Giggs' previous record) bybecoming the first player ever to score in the Champions League past his 38th birthday after netting Roma's equaliser against Manchester City at the Etihad last night.
Joe Hart went head to head with Michael Oliver on derby day this season, but the referee dealt no punishment.
Cesc Fabregas shoved Oliver out of the way this season, but the referee dealt no punishment.
Vincent Kompany put both hands on Oliver when complaining about Crystal Palace's first goal this evening, but the referee dealt no punishment.
When Joe Hart goes head to head with Michael Oliver, the referee does nothing.
When Angel di Maria tugs on Michael Oliver's shirt, the referee shows him a second yellow card.
Things just went down hill for Manchester City after this!
At the start of Manchester City's visit to West Ham today during the ceremonial hand-shake's a cheeky little West Ham so and so cheekily snubbed the hand shake of Joe Hart.
And he's not the first Steven Gerrard was similarly snubbed against Chelsea in 2006!
In which, after being loudly challenged by Joe Hart to do so, Wayne Rooney tucks away an almost identical free-kick away during England's final training session prior to their win over Estonia the following day.

Switzerland 0-2 England Euro 2016 Qualifiers 8th September 2014
A brace from Danny Welbeck secured a superb win for England in Switzerland. The results already puts the Three Lions in the driving seat for a place in the Euro 2016 finals and overall it was a far more positive performance than the 1-0 win against Norway.
Joe Hart has sung the praises of Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney ahead of Sunday's derby.
Rooney in a good place and is playing really well at the moment. He's taken the responsibilities of being captain for his club and country really well – he's a player I rate really highly and he's a good guy, too and I'm looking forward to playing against him.

Manchester City keeper Joe Hart was saved embarrassment by the law of the game today following his double touch on a free-kick inside his area which went straight to Charlie Austin who smashed it home only for the official to righted chalk off the goal.
And here's the best explanation I've heard in lay manns terms for the incident which came from a former UEFA Official no less!
The mighty accountants and IT consultants of San Marino finally met their matchlast night, with England barnstorming to a historic 5-0 victory over their illustrious opponents at Wembley.
Indeed, the England goal was under siege for large portions of the game, with Joe Hart having to deal with at least two tricky back-passes at one point meaning that his 'Man of the Match' award from the fans was truly deserved.

What is the official name of the ABCC8 gene?
The official name of this gene is "ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 8."
ABCC8 is the gene's official symbol. The ABCC8 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the ABCC8 gene?
The ABCC8 gene provides instructions for making the sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) protein. The SUR1 protein is one part (subunit) of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channel that is found across cell membranes in the beta cells of the pancreas. Beta cells secrete insulin, which is a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. Insulin controls how much sugar (in the form of glucose) is passed from the bloodstream into cells to be used as energy. The K-ATP channel controls the secretion of insulin out of beta cells and into the bloodstream. These channels open and close in response to the amount of glucose in the bloodstream, which helps regulate insulin secretion and control blood sugar levels. The closing of the channels results in a process that triggers insulin secretion by beta cells.
Does the ABCC8 gene share characteristics with other genes?
The ABCC8 gene belongs to a family of genes called ABC (ATP-binding cassette transporters).
A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other. For more information, see What are gene families? in the Handbook.
How are changes in the ABCC8 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the ABCC8 gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 11p15.1
Molecular Location on chromosome 11: base pairs 17,392,885 to 17,476,845
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The ABCC8 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 11 at position 15.1.
More precisely, the ABCC8 gene is located from base pair 17,392,885 to base pair 17,476,845 on chromosome 11.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Having read other teviews I was waiting for something very-very strange :))). Now I have been using it for a couple of weeks and I can say that I like it. The smell for me is not fishy,for me it smells like a combination of oils, but the smell is rather strong, so, for those ho prefer fragrance free creams it can be "too much" :)). As for me, after a couple of nights I do not even notice it. as for the effect - with my combination close to oily skin it works good. it really does not dry my skin excessively and moistens it well.
after reading all those good reviews, thought I have bought a remedy for my oily skin. definitely no! cream is incredibly oily and next morning my skin was as oily as never before. it has strange chalky consistency, it stinks and by applying it (you already feel the oiliness of cream!), there is a feeling that skin does not breath at all.

"We only got 169 [in Colombo in 2006], which wasn't enough runs, but we got two early wickets and thought we were in with a good chance. Then [Kumar] Sangakkara and [Mahela] Jayawardene put on 620-odd. Unbelievable. I can remember leading the team out to field as captain for the very first time and the stadium announcer over the PA said: 'Here's Ashwell Prince leading out South Africa'. Hearing that was a very proud moment. He used to do it at the start of each session. It seemed like it was never-ending: 'Here's Ashwell Prince leading out the South African team', but it was always the same two batsmen who were following me out!"Ashwell Prince [Source]

"It is unfortunate if someone tampers with the ball and they get the better out of it. It's unfortunate for the opposition. It shouldn't happen and umpires need to make sure it doesn't happen again. It's not within the laws and you can't really tamper the ball. But they did it to try and make the ball reverse swing. It did. There was not as much reverse on Sunday as on the third afternoon, to be honest. With the wind the ball comes in, but the third afternoon it was reversing quite a lot."Angelo Mathews [Source]

"Our plight here is even if we open the gates free, people do not come over to watch the games most of the time. Therefore hosting a cricket match becomes a burden to the administration, because the same basic needs have to be looked into ... In this scenario, to sustain the game of cricket as a corporate sport is a huge challenge."Nishantha Ranatunga [Source]

"I don't think we are that desperate to open with Mahela because his experience in the middle order counts a lot. We need someone like Mahela to try and control the middle order ... Mahela will play at No.4 but in an emergency, he might play as an opener or at No.3. We've got a set batting order and we're not going to meddle with that."Angelo Mathews [Source]

"Much of the criticism about his inability against South Africa in South Africa, was dispelled for me when he scored a magnificent 108 off only 190 deliveries with 13 fours at Kingsmead in Durban in 2011/2012 when Sri Lanka won their first test on SA soil by 208 runs. It was not easy conditions to bat in, as the wicket was 'spungy', but Sanga played brilliantly."Paul Harris [Source]
"I was so happy for Kumar. He was a man with a purpose. It is a long time since I have seen him leave so many balls outside off stump but he was determined to get that hundred."Mahela Jayawardene [Source]
"This is unquestionably one of the greatest batsmen of his generation, but the draw is not to watch him because one wants to but because one ought."Mike Selvey [Source]

If the Tampa Bay Bucccaneers can tear apart their roster and rebuild in time for the 2007 regular season as quickly as their team VP and his wife can tear up a rental house, Vegas may have to adjust the odds on their playoff chances.
According to a story in the PALM BEACH POST, the owner of an $8.5 million Palm Beach home that he rented out to Bucs VP Joel Glazer and his wife Angela at $60,000 a month was so trashed that "it looked like a rock band had lived there."
That kinda damage from this guy?
Glazer, the son of team owner Malcolm Glazer, is being sued by home owner Guy Henderson for $300,000 plus back rent and damages. Part of the damage includes holes drilled in floors and walls to install a giant safe that they took with them when they left - without notice.
What could have been in that safe so important? A non-binding contract to get Tony Dungy back as the Bucs' coach?

The story presented in this game branches out of the original Shaman King plot(manga),describing a beautiful romantic tale,with lots of action and funny moments which perfectly complete one another. The chapter is called Osorezan Revoir for all of the action takes place at the Osorezan mountain,and rest you'll uncover by yourself(not going to spoil the plot). The protagonists of this tale are: Asakura Yoh ,Anna Kyoyama and Matamune. This chapter was ever present only in manga,having absolutely nothing in common with the anime version. © All characters and the plot belongs to Takei Hiroyuki
Ok,first...thnx everyone for your support and help.
This was a pretty rough year,yet it's good to know that this project had survived it,somehow...altrough,sadly it was dead for most of it.
So far myself and cheva300 are working hard to get this project done,yet there's still quite a long road ahead.When project was previously cancelled i estimated the percentage of various tasks being competed (modeling,coding,audio..),although now i'm expanding the project ( and i can't really estimate it's current state ) ,by adding a game plot around the base manga story.And don't worry as i stated in the interview i will have manga story untouched,just that this story alone will be too short for an average game,and as some stated it would've mostly turned out analogical to Ninja Storm's story mode.
Apart from the current developing,i had done my best to contact H.Takei (although i did not find any direct ways of doing so: email,pm..) ,to ask commercial permissions for this project.With those the development will speed up a lot,and would most likely end far more better than anticipated,for i could not only motivate the team's efforts,and eventually my own ;) ,but larger it with the still needed and even highly skilled members. Well so far the good news are that he didn't say no,and the bad news are that i didn't get any response at all T.T ...and telling the truth i don't think i know any way to contact H.Takei (have tried any options i found).
If anyone can somehow help me contact Hiroyuki Takei i'd be very grateful.
The dev-team wishes to you all
Have a Merry Christmas,And a Happy New Year
Next Updates will start airing from: 12.01.2014

I'm willing to give all the work i've done for the ones i who are willing to continue:
1.Gather Skills and make a portofolio of your works
2.Gather a Team (should have at least one coder,hopefully one 3d artist aswell)
3.Send me a PM describing your team and it's goal (continuing the project,using my works for another chapter...)
Good Luck
I want the models(I'm making a shaman King game aswell) I dont think I could make a portfolio I work with my friend we alright at programming and we know how to make invetory and the basic
This is my first project together with my friend.
How long when it's released
It's nice mod but somehow Asakura isn't look nice i guess
BTW i love the way you make it
Hope it's release soon
Sadly the project has come to a close, so the game will never be completed. But I would really love to see the files KayCornea has done on the game already. The models are really good, and I would love to play around in the world that I saw in the livestream videos!
the raw game development folder(with all the datas) has around 11Gbs ,while the compiled full version(which crashes at launch),turned out around 115Mbs (no clue why so low)
Highly doubtufull that anyone would want to download as much...Plus ther's about nothing more to do,i've done and showed about everything there is.Now there was needed to code the Shikigami control system and the Combat system,oh and the lvl up one(actually i had lots of ideas,tho gotten stuck so early in the process)
I should see about the size tho,for there are multiple unecessary files(bassicaly it shoud resume to around 115mbs aswell)
Sadly the Alpha i have so far,acording to my skills wont launch as a game,only works in the editor,so at least i'll give a walkthrought video + all the bonuses that i had(the vids + some pics)
This is fantastic :) The whole idea, the way you are handling the atmosphere, the textures, and lighting. And I love how you can actually see Yoh walking peacefully and in a in-character way, instead of the usual crazy UDK`s default view.
I am majoring in Computer Animation, and as far as I know, you are doing really good with setting everything in an appealing way. I love how simple yet complex the characters are getting. Even if they are low poly, they have great personality, and I think you are really capturing the essence of the manga!! :) I am also a crazy fan of Osorezan Re voir, so thank you so much for this!!
I cant wait to see the final result!
Take Care, and thank you again!
O.O ( Laymark.com )
Thanx, glad you like it.I think i could've done better if i wasn't frustrated as much by the coding part(eating lots of my time,with almost no results)
It's so nice to hear positive critiques from someone who understands my work
Now i want to work harder ;]
Oh,and good luck with Animation studies,i was always doing those only by imagination and memories form anime,which is why they're a bit robust
I've already installed the SK Cosplay ~ Tsuki Shikigami. But I haven't excelled from anything..I don't know exactly what I have to do. :p
are there any instructions? how can I complete the game? ^_^
Sad to say there's nothing to complete,it's more of a Demo viewer for the Halloween,so it can hardly be called a game
Press F1 and there'll be all the instuctions and explanations
kay i have a problem with the game starting when i start it wont work should i download udk or what ?
1.Update all of your drivers (especially video)
2.Uninstall the game
3.Reinstall the game (assure that everything installs correctly,all of the installs)
By my best guess it could be a drivers or a system language conflict.
Can't really fix such things,for they'd be directly related to the engine itself,rather than the game
thx it worked

As a recently retired teacher from LAPS, I have with interest followed the search for a new high school principal and assistant superintendent. With 38 years of teaching experience at the middle school level in three different states, including 12 years at a National Blue Ribbon School in lrvine, Calif., a master's degree in curriculum and instruction and a major writer of the Baldrige award for LAMS and the LAPS, I feel that I understand what it takes to create an atmosphere of excellence within a school and district.
Obama says he will begin withdrawing troops in 2011, but some feel we should end this illegal and immoral war much sooner. This earlier withdrawal would make sense since our invasion and occupation of Afghanistan appear to have been from the very beginning about controlling natural gas pipelines, as well as controlling a lot of previously known resources such as lithium, gold and copper. The pipeline scenario has been well served by both Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice who worked deals with Afghanistan during their tenure with Halliburton and Chevron, respectively.
SANTA FE — One year ago, in June 2009, Lt. Gov. Diane Denish was sitting in the catbird seat. She had announced for governor more than two years earlier and had already raised more than $2 million.
A poll had just been published by Harstad Strategic Research of Boulder, Colo., showing Denish leading both Steve Pearce and Heather Wilson by identical 57-35 margins.
Pearce and Wilson were both well known to voters statewide, better known than Denish, in fact. Both had given up their U.S. House seats to seek the Senate seat of the retiring Pete Domenici.
Green jobs get most of the attention these days, but lately there's news from an old and not-so-green industry, mining. Here, we have good news, bad news, and no news.
Good news: Lea County will get its first new potash mine in four decades, Santa Fe Gold Corp. will begin processing ore near Lordsburg, and reclamation will begin soon at abandoned coal mines near Raton.
SANTA FE - If you like political surprises, you should love the next six months of the 2010 campaigns.
Sure, attack ads will fill the air. They've already started in the gubernatorial race and we will be able to add the 1st and 2nd congressional district races to that soon. But expect some almost unpredictable twists also.
Remember the last gubernatorial race in 2006? Gov. Bill Richardson was sailing toward his second term when Republicans suddenly switch horses after they already had nominated Dr. J.R. Damron as their candidate. That was an all- time first.
The medical cost of prescription opioid abuse in the United States is estimated to be more than $300 billion a year. That's billion with a "b."
This statistic, which almost knocked me out of my chair, was presented recently at a conference of the New Mexico Workers' Compensation Association by Dr. Charles Kennedy of Corpus Christi, Texas, an expert on occupational medicine issues. This part of his talk was subtitled "Pain Medication Crisis."
No kidding.
A few more statistics from Kennedy:
Urtabulak and Ixtoc — two obscure names that can be found in the dusty (and unread) journals of historic blunders. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Let's go back 47 years and see how little we've learned.
Will we be able to secure the U. S./Mexico border, or will it be impossible? With the U. S. Border Patrol denied access for routine patrol in federally designated wilderness areas along Arizona's border and with new corridors and safe havens for illegal activities in wilderness along the border in New Mexico, how would securing the border be possible?

Stayed there because of business in the area, and ok for that. But otherwise I would rather find something in Grenoble. Everything is fair enough, but not more. Carpets somewhat worn, bathroom a bit old, breakfast room not very cosy etc. Breakfast not bad though. In my view paying 110 Euros for all this was a bit too much.
We are searching for
the best rooms at the best prices,
so you don't have to.

Women's Health: 5 Healthy Resolutions for Women (cont.)
New Year's Resolution No. 1: Eat, but Don't Pig Out
When women resolve to lose weight, they are often black and white about it, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. She says women tend to want to cut out major food groups, telling themselves they cannot have any candy, dessert, or carbohydrates.
"It's a setup for failure, because by the time mid-January comes around, those resolutions are already in line for the next new year," says Taub-Dix. "It would be a much wiser decision to say, for example, 'I'm going to cut back on desserts.' Maybe pick a Saturday to have dessert." Instead of deprivation, practice moderation during the holidays.
The reduction approach is much more realistic than the all-or-nothing technique, which labels foods as "good" or "bad." When people see certain edibles as "bad," they can end up obsessing about it. Or they may see dieting as punishment for a year of unhealthy eating. Concentrate on getting adequate servings of whole grains, calcium, fiber, fruits and vegetables. This can be as easy as having a high-fiber cereal with milk and a banana.
Slashing entire food groups from the diet often backfires, because food is good and is one of the pleasures in life, says Taub-Dix. "There's no reason why we shouldn't enjoy food just because we're over the weight that we should be."
"Don't wait until the new year to have better eating habits, says Taub-Dix. "It should be a whole year's resolution, not a New Year's resolution."
New Year's Resolution No. 2: Jump Outside the Box
Many women who resolve to become more physically active think of going to the gym. They tend to hit the aerobic machines or join group exercise classes. They may get discouraged easily because they don't achieve desired weight loss or muscle tone in a certain time frame. They may quit because of lack of time, energy, or money. Or, they may tire of the gym atmosphere.
There are dozens of reasons why the best of workout intentions fall by the wayside come February. Yet they don't have to end up that way if you're willing to step outside of a certain mode of thinking -- that exercise has to be done a certain way, at a certain place, at a certain time, and for a certain amount of time.
"Sometimes people have this 'all or none' mentality and they're so gung-ho and so excited when they set the resolution that they judge themselves too harshly if they don't perfectly adhere to what they've established," says Cedric Bryant, PhD, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise.
He says many people make resolutions that are either unrealistic or too vague. A woman, for instance, may resolve to lose 10 pounds in two weeks. If she doesn't see desired results, she becomes discouraged and gives up.
It's better to set fitness goals that are realistic, achievable, and well defined. For example, a woman may strive to lose one to two pounds per week by exercising three to four times per week and holding off on seconds at the dinner table.

Rodeo Clown And Bull
Hi there :),

This is probably the wrong thread for this but I'm just going to go with it..

Anyway, so I just signed up for a horse show in two days and there's a costume class so I figured why not. I decided I'll dress up like a rodeo clown and my horse like a bull. Only problem is, besides putting horns on him and a fake ring on his nose and wrapping up his tail, how can I make my horse look more like a bull? Keep in mind he's a leopard Appaloosa so this might be a little difficult ...

Thank you!
