Jupiter Names Clunie Manager of Jupiter Return Fund
Jupiter Fund Management Plc named James Clunie manager of the Jupiter Absolute Return Fund to succeed Philip Gibbs, who is retiring.
Clunie, 45, will take over the 482 million-pound ($728 million) fund on Sept. 1, the London-based asset manager said in a statement today. Gibbs retires from fund management in October 2014, Jupiter said.
Jupiter, run by Edward Bonham Carter, specializes in selling U.K. equity funds to individual investors and started trading on the London Stock Exchange in June 2010. Clunie joined Jupiter from U.K.-based Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, where he ran the company's U.K. Select Growth Fund and the U.K. Opportunities Fund, the company said in April.
"Jupiter has an excellent reputation as a fund management house," Clunie said in the statement. "I am very much looking forward to the challenge of delivering strong returns for clients."
Gibbs, who joined Jupiter in 1997, will remain as manager of the Jupiter Split Investment Trust until the fund closes on Oct. 31, 2014, the company said.

When Marvel hired Shane Black to direct Iron Man 3 back in February, many hoped the writer of Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang would also handle the screenplay — something seemingly confirmed a few weeks later by Black himself.
But then late last month it was announced that No Heroics creator Drew Pearce has been brought on board, leading to some confusion, and even more disappointment among fans of Black's work. Now, however, Cinema Blend reports that Black will co-write Iron Man 3 with Pearce, who penned Marvel's shelved Runaways adaptation.
If true — the website cites "multiple, completely trustworthy sources" — that leaves the question of why a veteran screenwriter like Black is being paired with a relative newcomer like Pearce. Cinema Blend points to conflicting reports, some of which contend that, given Black's history of R-rated films, Disney hired Pearce to help ensure the script is kept "family-friendly."
That's not very convincing, though. Why would Marvel/Disney trust Black, who's only directed one film (the terrific Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), to helm the next installment of the blockbuster franchise but not to pen a PG-13 script? This is the guy who co-wrote The Monster Squad and Last Action Hero.
Iron Man 3 will be released on May 3, 2013.
Anyone who's seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Shane Black wrote and directed it) should be excited for this. Black's dialogue is witty, whip smart and often hilarious….especially when voiced by Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. =)

As you'll likely be aware, on June 28, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of the president's health care act, including a provision that requires Americans to prove they have health insurance or pay a fine.

I have a computer that is new, Windows 7, that is supposed to have access to particular network resources on a Distributed File System. However, despite all permissions being set correctly, I have consistent trouble accessing them.
For instance, I'm supposed to be able to reach \company.org\main\subdir. All the permissions have been granted, only when I try to access it by name, it tells me I don't have permission to access \main.
This is where the fun starts. If I ping company.org, get the IP, replace company.org by the IP, I can then access \IP\main\subdir without any problems at all. However we have a ton of scripts and build tools that access the network resource by name.
My sysadmin has found that using MS's dfsutil.exe, we can fix it temporary using this sequence of commands:
C:\dfsutil.exe /pktinfo
C:\dfsutil.exe /PktFlush
C:\dfsutil.exe /SpcFlush
C:\dfsutil.exe /PurgeMupCache
C:\dfsutil.exe /pktinfo
After that, everything is great... until I reboot, or until some unspecified time later where suddenly I don't have access to \main\ anymore.
Hoping to find a more permanent solution than waiting for it to break and running a batch file.

I believe the terms you would like are 'commutative and associative'. What I mean by 'eventual consistency' is that if everybody eventually pulls in all the same history, they'll all wind up at the same value (assuming no merge conflicts). At least that's what I think I mean, I'm just trying to use the same terminology as earlier posts.
I suspect that every layer is a spoiler for eventual consistency by the way. It just plain won't happen unless you do some very artificial canonical reordering of changes when new history comes in, and that can result in bizarre codebase jumping around in some edge cases.

Fury has been my recent go-to. Great product plus fantastic flavor. Definitely try it. Also, I used Test X180, talk about some progress! Great workouts on this product. I have been using Force Factor products for some time now, and they continue to help me progress. Great brand!

I am a huge fan of the Force Factor products. I'm currently using the BRX pre workout powder. I have used a number of different pre workouts and there are always issues which lead me to stop using them. BRX is different. I take it about 20 minutes before the gym, I get a nice rush (nothing too crazy) and get to my workout. My progress has been fantastic and am really happy!

Excellent line of products from Force Factor, Volcano especially. My biggest issue with going to the gym was getting people to go with me. Helps with the motivation to do your best sets etc. With Volcano though, I felt like I was actually getting the good stuff out of my workouts. Now I actually prefer working out by myself so I can go at my pace.

Of all the pre workouts I've used, the Force Factor pre-workout Volcano is fire. Great build up and cool down periods, and great recovery time. Building muscle and enhancing whatever endurance I thought I once had.

Even though I didn't purchase it through here I thought I would put in my two cents. I follow Vernon Davis, former Terp (my alma mater) and current 49er on Instagram and a while ago he started posting great stuff about Force Factor. I had never heard of it up until that point, but I saw it at a drugstore by my house days later when I was trying to find myself an NO booster and performance boost for working out etc. Asked the dude at the register his thoughts and he said it was legit so I made the bold move and purchased. Product has been great for me. Problems I encounter when it comes to working out are usually stemmed from me getting tired really easily. Force Factor keeps me moving with enough energy throughout the course of my work out regiments. Stoked I got on board with these guys, and now if I ever met Vernon I will have two talking points instead of just one haha.

Well first of all I just use the FREE trial version. Although they said it is free they charged me 75 box!!! 2nd of all the product increase my heartbeat and cause me have skin problem. I just took two pills and through it in trash.
Jun 21, 2015
I have not bought this product. Do not take my rating at face value. If you are going to look at this, go for the verified purchase reviews. The only reason I gave it a high rating was so people would see this. There are over 150 non verified reviews on this product. All of them are fake. Created accounts for one day to put a good review on site and leave. There have been a lot of bad press about this product using the free trials. I am not saying the verified purchasers are lying, I am just saying buyer beware and do more research on this product before buying.

Been meaning to write a review for a while now. Force Factor is simply awesome. My sisters boyfriend uses it and recommended it to me. I pretty much ignored him for a while, but he was definitely building muscle that I could tell so I said ***** it, and asked to try it with him at the gym. Noticed an increase in stamina and pump the first freaking day. Since then I haven't looked back. So pumped (literally) with Force Factor, saw too that they have some pretty big time athletes using the product themselves, NFL, NHL, and NBA. This stuff works.
Apr 24, 2015
Hell yea! Finally a workout that actually gets me going. Force Factor has been awesome for me. Someone at my gym was using it and I decided to try it for myself. I am getting the best out of every gym trip. So awesome.
Jan 22, 2015
I play college bball and workout most of the week. Force Factor is a beast product. I kick butt in the gym and it has made being physical in the paint one of my strong points in the game.
Jan 21, 2015
Force Factor has been the "X factor" with my workout the last year or so. I have been on and off working out since high school. I found, however, that with Force Factor I have been getting the results I've wanted for a really long time.
Jan 20, 2015
I have looked far and wide for something that was going to accelerate my muscle growth process. I work as a sever for a chain restaurant and have less time than I'd like to work out during the week. Found an awesome product in Force Factor. I take it about 30 minutes before going in to workout whether coming from work or at home before work. I am starting to enjoy what I see when I look in the mirror. Amazing workout product.
Jan 19, 2015
Amazing workout supplement! Getting all the results I hoped for. Making the most of Force Factor in order to get as ripped as possible. I have used all sorts of different types of workout supplements in the past, going back and forth the last couple of years. Force Factor has definitely shown me the most improvement.
Jan 14, 2015
I recently wanted to get more tone. I feel like whenever I take a huge fall while skating or doing other sports my recovery time is not where I want it to be. Used Force Factor in order to enhance the process. Works well for me. My daily skate is actually a lot longer too because Force Factor helps increase stamina.
Jan 13, 2015
Definitely worth the purchase. I feel like this supplement makes my workout totally intensified. Can't say more really than whats already been said. Really good stuff.
Jan 12, 2015
When I am using Force Factor I feel the pump come on and I get moving quick. I take it right before I work out along with a pre work out meal. I tried not using it a couple times to measure the difference and the difference is huge. Hoping to keep with it and continue to see the results.
Dec 30, 2014
I am pretty excited, got some Force Factor for my bday a couple weeks back from a buddy I work out with. I am already a gym rat with some decent muscle, but really its benefit to me is the boost/pump I get with it when working out. Makes my routines smoother and more impactful. Get this for your people if you are late on holidays gifts, totally does the trick.
Dec 26, 2014
I have been tracking my muscle gain progression for the past couple months since starting to use Force Factor. Things I have noticed during my work outs 1- it follows up on its promise to increase stamina, which makes me feel great and gave me a good idea with how things were going to go in the following months. 2- The cool down period is perfect. I'm not still buzzing when I don't want to be. After the last couple months my gains have been extremely noticeable. People all over the place are noticing my increase in muscle and I am the healthiest I have ever been.
Dec 22, 2014
I am hoping that the success I have found with Force Factor will continue. I'm a husky dude but since I've started hittin the gym with Force Factor I have experienced more toned muscle on my arms and some weight loss as well. Trying to take this ish to the next level so I get that bod I've been trying to get since I played football in HS. I am confident, through, that I will get there because I feel FF in my work out every **** day.
Dec 18, 2014
With all the thoughts on this product I decided I would share mine. I run track and when I work out it is most to stay in shape especially during the off season. Since I am constantly active and get tired easily, Force Factor has been huge for me. I get going pretty quickly and easy. When I come to the end of my workout I come down properly. I think Force Factor is pretty darn good.

Wet Rarity + Drama Queen Rarity Sofa + Royal Rarity + Afraid To Get Dirty...?
Interesting change of power.
Now, how did SHE take over?
Awesome!! suprised I hadnt seen this yet, great work!
This picture looks like Rarity is Twilight's mistress.
Hahahh! Love this!!!
That's very impressive!
Wow, really impressive Great job!
I don't get it!
I'm feeling a little dirty in my pants now! =3
You forgot to mention Love Slave Twilight.
Enjoying it for the artistry, I mean. You create a real sense of depth with your careful use of shadows and light reflection. The eyes, horns, jewels, and crown really stand out. I especially like their horns. Horns in pony fanart tend to look flat, but here it's like they have real 3D polished seashells sticking out of their skulls. Actually that sounds grotesque, but I mean it in a good way.
I feel kind of wrong staring at this, but I stil enjoy it.
Oh my... This is an interesting scene.
Wet Rarity is sexiest Rarity.
= holy freak'n .......fabulous!
zajebiste! freaky awesome!
Is it weird that I find this incredibly sexy?
Geez, I guessed that the ponies in Unicornia were very controlling, but I didn't think it was THIS bad D:
If this was just her right-hand pony, I'd hate to see how trussed up her servants are
If this was just her right-hand pony, I'd hate to see how trussed up her servants are
oh jeez
Never been more jelly of Twilight than I am now
Lol why was this in the ''MATURE '' Folder? XD
Rarity like: "Bow before me, mortals!" Twilight: "Yes, my queen (princess)!"
Its wonderful beautiful love the RariTwi suggestive pose one my fav pairings and its just EPIC love your style alot

Sustainment rehearsals and synergizing efforts: Must-haves for the 21st century
July 8, 2014
By Dr. O. Shawn Cupp and Maj. Edward K. Woo
Related Links
Sustainment units that make the most of their division sustainment rehearsals will encourage transparency, sharing of information, and synergistic efforts.
Rehearsals are important to every military operation. They confirm tasks, eliminate redundancy, and support collaboration. Nations depend on their militaries to perform at a high level of aptitude. In fact, a nation's survival often depends on this level of competency.
Sustainment planners are no strangers to analyzing armed conflicts and sustaining the force in the face of regional instability. Even the most seasoned sustainer likely will profess that there is no simple formula to solve the intricacies of dynamic unified land operations.
Within the current context of mission command, these types of deliberations often induce an unwieldy and complex planning effort interlaced with ambiguous environments in a variety of logistics ecosystems.
How do we solve this sustainment problem while supporting an infantry division facing a threat in a nonpermissive environment? How do we train well with limited means? What is the best type of training that involves leaders and subordinates and integrates sustainment into combat operations? If we look to doctrine, we can answer these questions. The answers to all of them start with rehearsals.
Army doctrine outlines the procedures and types of rehearsals. Chapter 8 of Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (ATTP) 5-0.1, Command and Staff Officer Guide, provides details for rehearsals. According to the manual, there are four types of rehearsals:
• Backbrief.
• Combined arms rehearsal.
• Support rehearsal.
• Battle drill or standard operating procedure rehearsal.
Leaders employ these rehearsal types through six basic techniques: network, map, sketch map, terrain model, reduced force, and full dress rehearsal. All of these techniques require different kinds and amounts of resources. Their applicability covers a range of operations and units. Within each of these techniques, planners consider four factors: time, echelons involved, operations security risk, and terrain.
Chapter 8 of ATTP 5-0.1 fully explains the benefits and challenges of the four factors associated with these six techniques. The techniques in figure 1 are depicted in relation to the resources required and the understanding gained.
Which rehearsal to implement usually depends on how much time is available and the level of understanding required. In terms of understanding gained as a function of resources required, the terrain model is in the middle. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why leaders employ terrain model rehearsals (rehearsal of concept drills) most often. It is the so-called "sweet spot" that provides the most knowledge with limited resources.
Army doctrine recommends rehearsal responsibilities and details the roles of commanders and staff officers. However, two even more significant areas must be considered. One area is the projected outcomes of conducting a rehearsal--what the unit gets out of conducting the rehearsal.
The other area to consider is the "rules of thumb" to determine how leaders should conduct the rehearsal. The outcomes and the rules of thumb are important because rehearsals use significant training resources, such as dollars, time, and space.
Leaders divide outcomes (intangible and tangible) based on how they relate to the members of the unit and their professional development. (See figure 2.)
Leader development is currently the number one priority of Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the chief of staff of the Army. Therefore, understanding what leader-focused results we will produce is a significant step in planning a rehearsal. In fact, if the time and resources warrant only a quick review within the rehearsal, then leaders, including both officers and enlisted Soldiers, should be the primary audience.
Tangible (measurable) outcomes are possible. They can be qualified and quantified on the battlefield. Synchronizing operations not only increases the effectiveness of the Soldiers and materiel but also provides the opportunity to increase unit support. Deconflicting movements and verifying decision points assist in measurable ways to increase the efficiency of military operations.
There are four rules of thumb that will help leaders to determine if a rehearsal is necessary and to plan for it accordingly.
REHEARSE WHAT HAS NOT YET HAPPENED. Needing to prepare for future operations is usually the primary reason to conduct any type of rehearsal. A rehearsal under these conditions not only assists in executing the operation but also in conducting future rehearsals. Rehearsals provide the opportunity for a commander to guide and direct the execution to a specific level of detail.
Sustainment operations are inherently expensive. In fact, sustainment is accounted for through the expenditure of resources. Numbers of Soldiers, weapon systems, track miles, blade hours, and gallons of fuel are the substance of sustainment operations. Conducting rehearsals for sustainment operations is important for commanders to adequately and judiciously use the resources provided by the taxpaying public.
REHEARSE WHAT IS FORGOTTEN. In recent years, the Army conducted operations primarily from established support bases and into mature forward operating bases (FOBs). The tasks, conditions, and execution of nonpermissive or even permissive reception, staging, onward movement, and integration are unknown to most Soldiers.
Many senior leaders have performed these tasks, but many junior leaders and Soldiers have not. Rehearsing these forgotten tasks and operations enhances any unit's overall readiness.
REHEARSE TO EMPOWER SUBORDINATES. Both friends and foes look at the U.S. Army as outstanding. One of the primary reasons is that it provides guidance and accepts that junior-level leaders make life and death decisions.
Junior-level leaders execute rehearsals to appreciate how sustainment forces execute mission command. Interweaving the many key stakeholders and maximizing participation is important to an effective rehearsal.
Meanwhile, it empowers and challenges junior leaders to observe the bigger sustainment picture. This tenet gives junior leaders the ability to be calm, clear, accurate, succinct, proficient, resourceful, and efficient in nesting their tasks and purposes in the commanding general's intent.
REHEARSE THE EASY AND THE HARD. To engage the audience in the full spectrum of the operational environment, rehearsing the easy and simple is critical. Simply identifying the main supply routes, key terrain, expected weather, and location of cities is imperative to examining and conducting sophisticated and complicated problems. Rehearsing the simple can be resupply operations, for example.
Planners must also rehearse the hard and complex to test the fidelity of the sustainment plan and the proficiency of its planners. Rehearsing the complex requires thinking about the second and third order effects of a trigger, such as the loss of a combat sustainment support battalion (CSSB), a fragmentary order to a defense, and internally displaced persons or detainee overflow.
How a sustainment unit responds to these situations will affect the way customers (maneuver and enabler Soldiers) judge their supporting unit.
Chapter 8 of ATTP 5-0.1 provides some specific suggestions for action during a rehearsal. These are the first points of consideration for what should be included in the rehearsal.
Many of these involve describing or depicting points on the ground for various sustainment functions. Other areas to consider are what to do or where to go when operations do not go as planned.
When the initial engagement of the enemy occurs, many plans are no longer relevant. Practicing how to provide contingency locations and support operations is crucial during any sustainment rehearsal.
Not only are sustainment elements important; so are the way they are displayed on the terrain model. The terrain features, man-made objects, control measures, and supply routes should all follow the same naming conventions and color key. (See figure 3.)
Once planners identify the outcomes, rules of thumb for rehearsals, and materials for the terrain model, the next decision should be which type of rehearsal to conduct. The combined arms rehearsal and support (or sustainment) rehearsal include multiple echelons, could help develop synergy, and reach the widest prospective audience.
During the combined arms rehearsal, as part of the script, each maneuver brigade commander and enablers brief the audience. The combined arms rehearsal does not exclude sustainment considerations. Often the division G-4 and sustainment brigade commander are the main sustainment briefers in the rehearsal.
The experienced division G-4 briefs an overall concept of the sustainment support plan according to each phase of the operation. Depending on the climate of the rehearsal, the division G-4 briefs succinctly and uses a few key points.
While the G-4 briefs, the G-4 subordinate staff records the details of the briefing. The G-4 plans officer usually organizes these records and shares them in subsequent sustainment synchronization meetings.
The other key sustainment briefer is the sustainment brigade commander, who discusses the sustainment brigade's task and purpose, which are nested within the maneuver brigade commander's tactical task and purpose.
This is an opportunity for the sustainment brigade commander to brief the commanding general primarily on the security of the CSSBs and contingency plans in the event of an asymmetric threat compromising a sustainment unit. The seasoned sustainment brigade commander can articulate the plan to replace any compromised capabilities.
Under the principles of unity of command, a sustainment brigade can have a direct support relationship with the division. The division G-3 can update and analyze the decision support template for the division operation and consider any security assets to help secure CSSBs, refuels on-the-move, forward arming and refueling points, and main supply routes.
Ideally, the division sustainment rehearsal should follow the combined arms rehearsal because most of the key leaders are already there. This is the venue in which all the key sustainment planners execute the sustainment rehearsal until completion using the same combined arms rehearsal terrain model (such as a hangar, gym floor, or bay).
After reviewing any updated commanding general's direction from the combined arms rehearsal, the G-4 and sustainment brigade commander can better visualize and synchronize the sustainment effort within the commander's intent.
The sustainment rehearsal's key products include the maneuver synchronization matrix, sustainment synchronization matrix, roll call, sustainment annexes, and functional products.
During execution, the sustainment planners can validate the sustainment concept based on the sustainment principles of anticipation, integration, continuity, responsiveness, economy, survivability, simplicity, and improvisation.
Execution helps all key stakeholders visualize the conditions for actions and triggers for change. Proactive planning and herding all key sustainment planners are important to ensuring a sound sustainment plan for a division-level offensive operation.
Two critical products that should result from the sustainment rehearsal are a validated sustainment annex for division operations and a final sustainment synchronization matrix. This allows all sustainment planners to speak the same language during subsequent sustainment synchronization meetings (usually through voice over Internet protocol or Defense Connect Online).
After the rehearsal is complete, the recorder should restate any changes, adjusted move times, route changes, coordination, or clarifications directed by the commander and provide an estimate for when a written fragmentary order to codify the changes will be complete.
Effective sustainers understand the importance of anticipating changes and adjustments based on the rehearsal's outcomes.
The benefits of a division sustainment rehearsal are multifold. First, all sustainers visualize and adjudicate the sustainment plan in the same way that their division maneuver and enabler brethren have a detailed understanding of a sustainable offensive operation.
Second, division sustainers can identify key events that affect operational sustainment. Third, based on the rehearsal's outcomes, the G-4 can revert to the first decision point in the decision support template with the G-3 and discuss any potential sustainment plan changes resulting from maneuver decisions. Planners discuss branches and sequels, specifically if they affect throughput operations for fuel and ammunition.
Fourth, the sustainment plan shapes intelligence gathering for the G-2, particularly reverse intelligence preparation of the battlefield and intelligence estimates.
Fifth, the sustainment plan ensures that leaders integrate all the warfighting functions with the responsiveness required to meet the commanding general's intent.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the division sustainment rehearsal sets the tone and conditions for brigade-sized units to execute their own sustainment rehearsals.
Rehearsals encourage transparency and sharing of information, which are fundamentals of a proficient organization. Transparency is the key to rehearsals because it generates efficiency, flattens complex organizations, and encourages effective collaboration among all warfighting functions.
We cannot afford to lose time or focus because of stovepiped tendencies that inhibit planners from generating sophisticated solutions. The rehearsal process is a way to encourage synergistic efforts and is every sustainment leader's intrinsic responsibility.

Mayan prophecy came true and the World is crashing. Lance was at the office when everything started and now he has to escape the building to survive. That's the plot. You embody runner Lance in this endless running game. We know, it's impossible not to make comparisons with that other well-known 3D canabalt-like game that's been such successful.
Gameplay is quite simple: avoid obstacles or gaps by jumping (swiping up) or sliding (swiping down), turn corners by swiping left/right and tilt to move laterally and collect water. There's a water bar that you need to fill for power-ups. You can see that controls are simple, although as usual, it depends on the screentouch response of your devices (and screensize too). Besides power-ups you can buy special items from the store.
3D graphics are great, although when the guy turns it makes like a weird effect. We haven't noticed any lag running it on a Galaxy S I9000 2.3.6, so you won't probably notice it with similar or later devices.
You can check your game stats from the menu, set sensivity, music sound and other controls options from settings and finally, submit your best marks on online leaderboards provided by OpenFeint. Recommendable.

Early in life, Sam aspired to be a fire truck. Not a fireman, but the actual fire truck. Once learning that he was human and in fact not eligible to be an inanimate object, he turned his attention to art and technology.
Sam earned a degree in graphic design from the University of Minnesota – Duluth. Immediately thereafter, Sam landed a position where he was trusted to write code that maintained the fidelity of various web designs. Sam has since made this ability an art form, and enjoys creating sites that look as good as they function.
After hours, Sam can be found on his motorcycle or headed North to frolic in the Northern Minnesota wilderness. His friends would tell you not to take a word he says seriously, so it is possible that this entire bio is a lie. Or is it?
As an internet marketing analyst, it is satisfying to work in an environment that values research. At A&D, data and insights are at the forefront of every decision, from strategy to implementation.

Ralts by ECrystalicaWatch
©2013-2016 ECrystalica
This was done as a request drawing for a friend of mine. I have to say, I don't really do request drawings simply because I'm bad at keeping up with requests and I'm always drawing something else. This one, however, was really quick and it only took me about 2 hours to draw. I do have to say that Ralts looks really cute here and the pose I gave it really worked a lot. If you're a fan of Ralts or the Ralts family, I hope you like this
Ralts (c) Pokemon Nintendo Game Freak
That's a cute pokemon
Yeah, great pose
Yeah, great pose
Cool pic
*glomps ralts* He's mine! I want a Gallade!
I'm actually writing a fanfic, and my trainer has a ralts that becomes a Kirlia. He's rather insecure because the ralts line doesn't look very manly, and he doesn't want to be a gardevoir. He becomes a Gallade later.
I love Ralts, along with its whole evolution, its one of the cutest Pokémon ever!
I agree with its whole evolution too. Gardevoir and/or Gallade are some of the sweetest Pokemon to have on your team ever.
I haven't played many of the games, but I have seen a bunch of Pokémon episodes and movies and the Ralts evolution is currently one of my favorites.
Ralts is so cute and so awesome :3 so simple but so awesome good work
This is a great Ralts you have here! Not my personal favorite Pokemon, but a lot of people like them, and you've made quite a detailed painting of one.
good job

NNSA's Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) puts world-class science to work keeping military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians safe through its Advanced Homemade Explosives Course. Instructor Virginia Manner, a Los Alamos staff scientist in the High Explosives Science and Technology group runs the course with co-leader Margo Greenfield of the Shock and Detonation Physics group.
EOD techs have a tough job. Their lives—and others' lives, too—depend on how much they know. From all branches of the service, EOD techs routinely get the call to dismantle homemade explosives (HMEs) or neutralize HME factories in war zones.
The label "explosives" covers a wide range of substances that are characterized by liberating energy and producing heat under a stimulus, like an impact or spark. In the Los Alamos course, the EOD techs learn a lot about the homemade kind, defined loosely as any improvised concoction of readily available material that can blow up, often in an improvised explosive device (IED).
EOD techs talk about "getting left of the boom," which means working before the bomb goes off. "Right of the boom" means it's already blown up. The Los Alamos course is all about working on that left side, safely. To that end, every 6 weeks for 5 days, about 24 techs from the Air Force, Marines, and Navy come to learn more about how bad guys whip up explosives in makeshift labs.
The course provides an overview of general HME characteristics, the hazards, and related safety precautions. 45-minute lectures are balanced by 2-hour labs. Students also work with unidentified explosives on the outdoor range and explore simulated labs.
The HME course is made possible by the many scientists, engineers, and technicians in multiple divisions throughout the Laboratory. The diverse team of practicing bench scientists, who teach the course at Los Alamos, distinguishes it from other courses. The Lab currently has more than 20 instructors with expertise in explosives.
"Research can sometimes be isolated from current real-world applications," Manner said. "It's the most valuable thing I've ever done."
Greenfield agrees: "All the instructors feel that way, and that's why it's so successful. We know we're increasing the EOD techs' overall safety. We're using world-class science to save lives on today's battlefields."
Watch LANL's video on the course to learn more or visit the website to read the full feature article.
Sandia National Laboratories and the California Fire and Rescue Training Authority (CFRTA) recently signed a memorandum of agreement to develop new concepts and capabilities for emergency planning, exercise and response.
The agreement was signed by Marianne Walck, vice president of Sandia's California site and the Energy & Climate program, and by Ruben Grijalva, executive director of CFRTA, which includes the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District and the Sacramento Fire Department.
"The strong relationship between Sandia and the CFRTA is yielding a number of benefits," Walck said. "The partnership provides Sandia with operational partners to help us transition technology to emergency managers and first responders. At the same time, the CFRTA is gaining access to technologies that can enhance preparedness across the state. This is a perfect opportunity for Sandia to deploy technology in the field to test operational concepts, evaluate readiness and refine technology requirements."
Grijalva said the agreement between Sandia and CFRTA provides a framework of cooperation in a variety of vital areas of emergency response planning and training at the California Exercise Simulation Center (CESC) in Mather.

Scientists at NNSA's Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) use seismology to determine the details—location, yield, and type—of explosions, as part of its mission to identify and locate possible nuclear explosions.
For example, a country might hope its underground containment of a nuclear test allows it to go unnoticed, because the rest of the world thinks the resulting seismic event is an earthquake. In the interest of national security and global nuclear threat monitoring, NNSA scientists have developed the tools to differentiate between the two.
LANL has approximately 70 experts, organized into teams, who work to provide near real-time analysis and assessment of foreign nuclear weapons programs and tests. For example, the Ground-based Nuclear Detonation Detection (GNDD) team, comprising scientists from the lab's Earth and Environmental Sciences division, look in the atmosphere, oceans, and underground to analyze explosions.
The GNDD team develops measurement and analysis systems for nuclear-event monitoring agencies and provides analysis in direct support of NNSA's nuclear treaty verification mission, including support for the Limited Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, Threshold Test-Ban Treaty, and the current testing moratorium under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
"We have developed seismic expertise, and we apply it effectively to understand and monitor nuclear testing," said Terry Wallace, LANL's Principal Associate Director for Global Security. "The Laboratory is one of the places where we see people devoting careers to understanding what other nations are doing in the areas of nuclear testing and technology. We support the Nation in its efforts to monitor nuclear programs and verify adherence to nuclear arms control treaties."
Understanding seismic events requires a detailed understanding of geology and the ability to predict subsurface reactions to the explosive shock of a nuclear blast. Seismologists can calculate the event location and yield by using data from seismic stations around the globe. Using techniques developed to study nuclear (and conventional explosives) tests, scientists analyze data to develop a more complete understanding of the nature of the explosion.

The 2016 theme for the Earth Day observance raises expectations for everyone: "Earth Day, Every Day." Instead of observing Earth Day only on April 22, the theme encourages us to think regularly about ways to save energy and live sustainably.
As NNSA celebrates Earth Day this week, its leaders are demonstrating that NNSA is taking the 2016 Earth Day theme seriously. NNSA's Associate Administrator for Safety, Infrastructure and Operations Jim McConnell explains NNSA's commitment and progress towards making facilities and infrastructure more sustainable and energy efficient. He also challenged all NNSA team members to commit to doing their part.
"There is always an opportunity for each of us to make a small change at home or on-the-job and see improvements," McConnell said. "It's the small increments that make a big difference over time. We each have an opportunity to be good stewards of the Earth every day."
In response to McConnell's challenge, NNSA team members will make personal pledges this week to protect the Earth's resources both at home and at work. Such pledges might include changes such as adjusting our thermostats and expanding our recycling to turning off unneeded lights and electronics.
Learn more about the efforts throughout the NNSA enterprise to be more sustainable, the climate and energy work done at NNSA's labs and sites, and the ways a personal commitment can help the Earth.
In 2015, President Obama directed federal agencies to work toward making facilities compliant with the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings. NNSA is pursuing the challenging high performance sustainable buildings goals and currently has 61 buildings that meet compliance, with 190 more buildings on their way to being compliant. NNSA is on track to meet or exceed sustainability goals for greenhouse gas reduction, energy intensity, water intensity, fleet, and renewable energy.
Improving the sustainability of NNSA facilities and infrastructure is an important part of NNSA's ongoing efforts to modernize the enterprise and reduce annual operating costs. NNSA's overarching strategy is to integrate sustainability goals into NNSA decision making and business processes. This strategic approach helps ensure all infrastructure investment decisions are made with sustainability in mind.
To learn more about NNSA's green initiatives, follow NNSA's blog, Twitter or Facebook posts.
Teams working throughout NNSA sites and labs, partnering with academic institutions and industry experts, are using cutting-edge research to advance NNSA's core missions, reduce environmental impact, and advance the body of knowledge on climate change and sustainability. During Earth Week, NNSA is highlighting some of the most innovative ongoing activities across the enterprise supporting environmental sustainability.
Recent research from NNSA's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) fine-tuned climate change measuring models for a more reliable snapshot of how the earth is changing. This helps identify more effective action to mitigate climate change effects. It adds to the long list of ways LLNL has improved climate research, from rainfall studies and plankton investigations, to award-winning pioneers of the global water cycle and underground batteries.
Recent research from NNSA's Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) demonstrates that environmental factors and concerns affect every aspect of society. The recent White House Water Summit featured a LANL safe water project. Other LANL work focuses on earth-saving carbon nanomaterials, forest health, permafrost, and photosynthesis. LANL also sponsors small businesses working to create clean technologies.
Sandia National Laboratories recently developed groundbreaking technologies to make adoption of renewable energy smaller, cheaper, and better. Sandia's work in engine efficiency has been nationally recognized, while its findings on water levels, ice sheet modeling, and offshore energy are literally making waves in the advancement of energy efficiency and modernization.
The Pantex Plant's achievements in additive manufacturing greatly reduce waste, cost, and environmental impact while advancing NNSA's mission. Migratory bird conservation efforts at Pantex have also earned national recognition.
NNSA's Y-12 National Security Complex recently received awards from the local chamber of commerce for its huge reductions in water usage, energy savings, corrosion control, and recycling programs, while powering the mission and giving back to the grid through a wind energy program.
NNSA's Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) recently was recognized for having seven buildings with the highest level of sustainability certification and for its green fleet of vehicles.
These highlights demonstrate how the employees at NNSA's sites and labs work diligently to advance mission while maintaining NNSA's commitment to be good environmental stewards.
In late March, the NNSA Graduate Fellowship Program (NGFP) Alumni Forum brought together current and former fellows with leaders from across the national laboratories and the nuclear security enterprise. The annual event invites participants to share their career experiences as developing leaders within NNSA and fosters a network of professionals within the broader nuclear security community.
The event welcomed guests including NNSA Administrator Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz (Ret.) and NNSA Associate Administrator for Management and Budget Randall Hendrickson. The current class of fellows attended a roundtable hosted by Klotz, who discussed modern nuclear security challenges and the momentum NGFP fellows add to the future of NNSA.
Following the roundtable, current fellows, NGFP alumni, and invited guests convened for a networking and poster-display session. The current class of fellows, who began in June and comprise 38 students placed at locations across the country, shared accomplishments during their fellowships. This was the first year that two fellows were placed at the Department of State. The fellowship term for the current class concludes in June.
NGFP is sponsored by NNSA's Office of Management and Budget and administered by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to build future leaders in nuclear security and nonproliferation.
The first computers to contribute to the nation's nuclear security work used thousands of vacuum tubes—which resembled fat light bulbs that gave off lots of heat—and consumed 125 kW of power to perform around 1,900 operations per second. This month NNSA's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) received a first-of-its-kind scalable supercomputing platform that can process the equivalent of 16 million neurons and 4 billion synapses and consume the energy equivalent of a hearing aid battery—just 2.5 watts.
The 16-chip IBM TrueNorth platform is "neuromorphic" – modeled after a brain – and capable of pattern recognition and integrated sensory processing. Each of the 16 chips in the system consists of 5.4 billion transistors wired together to create an array of 1 million digital neurons that communicate with one another via 256 million electrical synapses.
The new system will be used to explore new computing capabilities critical to NNSA's missions through its Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program. ASC is a cornerstone of NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program to ensure the safety, security and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent without underground explosive testing.
"Neuromorphic computing opens very exciting new possibilities and is consistent with what we see as the future of the high performance computing and simulation at the heart of our national security missions," said Jim Brase, LLNL deputy associate director for Data Science. "The potential capabilities neuromorphic computing represents and the machine intelligence that these will enable will change how we do science."
Learn more about the new True North system on the LLNL website.
Earlier this month, Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Anne Harrington traveled to Ukraine to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) and visit the Neutron Source Facility at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology.
The U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey R. Pyatt; diplomats from Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, and the European Union; STCU Governing Board Chair Eddie Maier; STCU Executive Director Curtis Bjelajac; and Ukraine Deputy Minister for Education and Science Maksym Strikha spoke at the event, noting the center's history, the 12,000 former Soviet weapon scientists it engaged in peaceful research projects, and the its future role in the region.
The STCU was established under a multilateral agreement in 1993, and became operational in 1995 with a mission to engage former weapons scientists and engineers in research and development for peaceful applications. Since then, the STCU has helped NNSA's nuclear nonproliferation program implement several initiatives with STCU member states. These included $30 million in joint projects involving U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory experts and Ukrainian and Georgian scientists. STCU also managed conceptual design studies with Argonne National Laboratory and the Kharkiv Institute for a Neutron Source Facility at the institute.
NNSA continues to play a major role in the center's effort to address the threat of proliferation of nuclear and radiological materials. Working in close coordination with the State Department and the members of the STCU Governing Board, NNSA is funding several targeted initiatives focused on specific nuclear security priorities, including seismic monitoring, hazard mitigation, and radiological source risk mitigation in well-logging applications.
Harrington, with Assistant Deputy Administrator for Material Management and Minimization Peter Hanlon and Director for Strategic Planning/Integration Andy Hood, also traveled to the Kharkiv Institute to visit the Neutron Source Facility. The NSF is a state-of-the-art experimental facility consisting of an accelerator-driven subcritical assembly using low enriched uranium fuel that will allow for advanced scientific research and medical isotope production when fully operational.
DOE funded the construction of the NSF in exchange for the removal of the remaining 230 kilograms of Russian-origin highly enriched uranium (HEU) from Ukraine prior to the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit.This fulfilled a pledge made at the 2010 Summit.
This cooperation follows Ukraine's long and significant history in supporting nuclear nonproliferation. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, the newly independent Ukraine inherited the third-largest nuclear warhead stockpile in the world. However, in 1994, Ukraine joined the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (as a non-nuclear weapon state and began voluntarily transferring its inherited nuclear weapons to Russia for elimination. Today, Ukraine is one of 29 countries and Taiwan to have eliminated all HEU from its territory through cooperative efforts with the United States.
NNSA is focused on the mission first, people always, and NNSA's people make a difference, both on and off the clock. During National Volunteer Week, we recognize those across the enterprise who are active, energetic, and engaged in their communities. Every day, members of America's nuclear security enterprise team across the country realize their potential to make a difference by embracing service to others.
From building wheelchair ramps to starting a middle school robotics program, volunteers and managers at NNSA's labs and sites are devoted to going the extra mile to make a difference in local communities. NNSA volunteers have given thousands of hours of community service through annual service programs—like Savannah River's Project Serve and Days of Caring—and educational community outreach for science, technology, math and engineering (STEM)—to include science bowls in Kansas and Nevada, hip-hop physics education, STEM career introductions for young women, and giving away free microscopes.
In addition to giving their time, the workers and leaders of NNSA's nuclear security enterprise provide material support for a plethora of charitable causes, like United Way in South Carolina and Texas, Coats for Kids, scholarships for college and high school students, pets for veterans, and food for hungry children in both Texas and Nevada.
Learn more about the great work NNSA's sites and labs are doing in nuclear security and in their local communities, and learn more about National Volunteer Week from the White House.

I am a cross-country and downhill mountain biker but I recently became very interested in touring. I have been commuting on a cheap schwinn for two years and feel like it is time to step up to a steel bike that will commute and still have the ability to do some light touring.
I bought a Novara Safari frame and fork but I am looking for parts to build it up.
I have a few questions:
Bottombracket: what dimensions should I be looking for? (I have never been good with those things)
Also drive train related: would you suggest road gearing or mountain bike gearing?
I am a law student so setting this up has to be cost effective for sure.
Thank you in advance.

The DeltaWing crew prepare to race at Le Mans after qualifying at the Circuit de la Sarthe
29th!!! I LOVE IT!
They haven't tested their lightning system before yesterday?!? I don't know what to think. Did they knew Le Mans runs around 9 hours at dark before signing up to compete?
Hey look, it's butt ugly from the side too!
It will break down and be out well before the sun goes down. This is the first side on picture Ive seen of it and its still dog ugly.
tough luck for the the Deltawing, who got bumped off the track like a cheap NASCAR move by a driver who cannot drive, Nakajima had the whole race to pass safely buy he decided to make a stupid move and endanger many in the process. You wont see him next year, he used used his Japanese calling card this year. If you follow his career, he is just a bad driver who has had the sponsor of many others for too long, please retire Nakajima.
