New answers tagged terminology
An ADC is a term used to describe a ranged god that deals most damage from auto attacks. All hunters can be played as an ADC as well as some mages like Sol and Freya.
"Times evaluated by judge" refers to how many times you've had a Pokemon's stats evaluated by the stats judge in Kiloude City (Battle Resort for OR/AS). It is a relatively meaningless statistic, though it could be an indicator of how much effort each trainer put into their teams - breeding and checking for perfect IVs.
In Smite there is no "Attack Damage" stat so the term is not literal, you can consider it like an approximation to original. The ADC term is referred to the roll, not the class so NO, ADC do not strictly mean Hunter, but yes usually te gods who best fit in this roll are hunters.
From personal experience, you get Objective Kills when getting an elimination while standing on/next to the objective as well as if you help eliminate someone on the objective. Basically, it is an indication of how much you were fighting over the objective, whether defending it, attacking it, or pushing it.
Based on experience you get an Objective Kill when you kill (or damage) an enemy player while he is on or near the objective. Meaning that on payload maps an enemy player would need to be actively pushing or contesting the payload. Same goes for point captures, where, to get an objective kill, an enemy would need to be on the point that is to capture or to ...
It contains pieces of code that's referred to by various points of the program/game (they're very much the same). If the required DLL is missing then the instructions to do something would be missing as well. The game wouldn't know how to proceed. You mentioned that you see it in error reports as well. In those cases, it's likely that the game did run, but ...
Each game develops its own terminology. And even within each game, different people have different definitions of said terminology. More specific term(s) would/could be: stun, root, snare, mez (and many many more) But in general. "Hard CC" Complete loss of control over your character. This means you cannot move, cast spells or attack in any way for the ...
I've most often seen "hard" and "soft" CC referring to whether the ability prevents movement or not. Soft CC is usually implied to be any type of CC that still allows a champion to move around. As you mentioned, slows are the most common type of soft CC, since they reduce the movement speed of enemy champions but still allow them to get away using movement ...
There are many different types of CC - Crowd Control - and LOL Wiki lays it out quite nicely Loss of Control - Crowd controls are grouped into one of two categories depending on whether or not the effect removes total control of the player's character. Hard CC completely removes all control of a character, while soft CC only partially removes it. ...
In short, what funneling does is eliminate possible paths that your units might take in order to make them take the path you want. This can be done with almost every troop, and it relies on knowing how target selection works. To get started, most troops will attack whatever building or object they prioritize that is closest to them, with some variations. ...
From the Smite Gamepedia Attack Damage Carry. A term generated from other MOBAs, generally used to speak about Hunters, gold and item dependent gods that can be quite dangerous at later stages of the game.
These terms originate from terminology used in movies (and perhaps TV series): A remake is based on an earlier work and is a retelling of the same story. There are plenty of examples, like The Thing and Scarface. They will have different actors, changes in the plot and shot differently. A remaster is an enhanced version of the earlier work. Again, you ...
"Remaster" would mean they took the original game (code+assets) and improved it somehow, usually by improving the graphics and/or adding compatibility with new hardware/OS, but possibly also adding features. "Remake" means just what it sounds like, they completely remade the game from scratch. The same applies to things like movies and music also.
because shoot'em ups existed first, it's a variation of that. it's just instead of shooting you're beating the enemies. with fists. as for why, shoot'em ups came first and are usually called that regardless of if you're shooting up or right or left.
TL;DR: remaster=close to original, remake=close or far from original, depending. These words are meant as analogies to the equivalent in music and films. In music, a remaster specifically means to put together a new "master copy", a recording from which all CDs, Tidal tracks etc will be made. When a song was produced, the vocals and instruments may all ...
Although it seems like the terms are often used interchangeably within the industry and marketing, there IS a technical difference between the terms: A remake typically shares very little of the original assets and code with the original game, distinguishing it from an "enhanced port", partial remake, or remastering. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Steelers emerge with North lead as Joe Flacco, Ravens fall short
BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens have been beaten so many times by Troy Polamalu and Ben Roethlisberger, they should have seen it coming.
And yet, it happened again.
Polamalu forced a fumble with a sack of Joe Flacco and Roethlisberger converted the turnover into a 9-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Redman with 2:51 left to give the Pittsburgh Steelers a 13-10 victory Sunday night.
With the win, Pittsburgh (9-3) gained sole possession of first place in the AFC North over Baltimore (8-4) and earned a split of the season series.
"Tough place to play, but let's be frank, we needed to come here and even the score in this matchup," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "Thankfully we did, and we'll push on."
A fierce defensive battle turned when Polamalu hit Flacco's arm on a safety blitz. LaMarr Woodley returned the loose ball 19 yards to the Baltimore 9, setting up Pittsburgh's lone touchdown.
After throwing two incomplete passes, Roethlisberger dumped a short toss over the middle to Redman, who broke tackles by Dawan Landry and Jarret Johnson on his way to the end zone.
Baltimore's ensuing drive ended at the Pittsburgh 31 when Flacco bounced a fourth-down pass to Ed Dickson with 33 seconds remaining.
The game was a defensive battle, as expected. And Polamalu and Roethlisberger again made the difference.
"Everybody watching TV at home, everybody in the stadium, you all know it you see 43 at the line, four-minute offense, he's coming," said Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who had 1½ sacks. "It was just like, I hope we have a plan. It just didn't feel good when I saw that hair at the line."
Polamalu, of course, wears No. 43. And he's done it to the Ravens before -- his 40-yard interception return sealed Pittsburgh's 23-14 victory in the 2008 AFC title game.
Roethlisberger broke his nose on Pittsburgh's first series, was playing with a sprained right foot and was under constant pressure all night. And he still went 22 for 38 for 253 yards.
The rugged quarterback has won six straight starts against Baltimore and is 8-2 in his career against the Ravens. He missed the first game this season while serving an NFL-issued suspension for violating the league's conduct policy.
"That's a Steelers-Ravens game, right? Hard-fought all the way to the end," Roethlisberger said. "Everybody contributes."
He laughingly suggested that his battered nose helped take his mind off his ailing foot.
"It hurt a lot," he said of the foot, "but the broken nose took some of the pain away."
Baltimore blew a fourth-quarter lead for the sixth time this season and had its eight-game home winning streak end.
"Obviously, it was a tough loss. Basically, we gave the game away at the end," coach John Harbaugh said. "We should have won the football game, and that's disappointing."
Flacco was 17 for 33 for 266 yards, but his fumble was the most decisive play of the game.
"It was an all-out blitz. They brought everybody," Flacco said. "I took three steps and raised my arm and was getting hit. It was pretty shocking."
As is usually the case when the Steelers and Ravens meet, the trainers were busy tending to injured players.
Both starting tight ends were knocked out of the game. Baltimore's Todd Heap strained a hamstring on the first play from scrimmage and did not return, and Pittsburgh's Heath Miller suffered a concussion in the third quarter in a collision with Ravens cornerback Chris Carr.
The Steelers also lost right tackle Flozell Adams, who sprained his ankle in the third quarter.
The hitting was so hard that even Pittsburgh's punter got injured. Daniel Sepulveda hurt his right knee in the second quarter, and placekicker Shaun Suisham was called upon to punt for the remainder of the game.
Sepulveda has an ACL injury, Tomlin said, and likely is lost for the season.
Blanked in the first half for the first time since Nov. 26, 2007, against Miami, Pittsburgh got a field goal on the opening drive of the third quarter to close to 7-3. Roethlisberger hit Hines Ward for 13 yards and Mike Wallace for 23 yards before Suisham kicked a 45-yarder.
The Ravens responded with a 60-yard march that ended with a 24-yard field goal by Billy Cundiff.
Pittsburgh then closed to 10-6 with a 16-play, 79-yard drive that consumed more than 9 minutes and was extended by two pivotal penalties against Baltimore. But the Steelers had to settle for a field goal with 12:46 left after a 28-yard pass from Roethlisberger to Wallace set up a first-and-goal from the 2.
Baltimore had two sacks and interception in the first half, and Flacco threw a touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead at the break.
On Pittsburgh's first march, Roethlisberger got his nose bloodied on a third-down sack by Suggs and Haloti Ngata.
Baltimore grabbed the lead late in the first quarter. Flacco went 6 for 6 during a 92-yard drive, completing a 61-yarder to Anquan Boldin on a third-and-15 before connecting with Boldin for a 14-yard touchdown.
On the scoring play, Flacco rolled to his right and had plenty of time to survey the field before finding Boldin in the center of the end zone.
Game notes
Baltimore's 92-yard scoring drive was the longest against Pittsburgh this season. ... Ravens WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh went over 7,000 yards receiving. ... Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall ran for 45 yards to break 1,000 for a second straight season.

Energy prices may soon stabilize say analysts
IHS Global Insight sees lower producer prices and well-anchored wages as signs that inflation should moderate in the coming months
in the NewsCorrugated recovered for recycling hits all-time high of 93% in 2015 Expanded Panama Canal open for business but questions linger on its ability to be a game changer Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Behind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University More News
The latest Producer Price Index (PPI) shows that inflation remained in stand-still mode in August as an upsurge in food prices was offset by an equivalent decrease in energy prices.
"It's a good-news, bad-news scenario," said IHS Global Insight U.S. Economist Gregory Daco. "For shippers, it means getting a little break on fuel expenses."
Food prices rose 1.1 percent boosted by higher meat prices, while energy prices fell 1.0 percent on lower petroleum, liquefied gas, gasoline and diesel prices. Core PPI inflation was up for the ninth consecutive month, gaining 0.1 percent. However, the year-over-year rate of increase is showing some tentative signs of plateauing.
Consumer goods prices were flat for the month – good news for households – but still 8.2 percent above last year – not so good news. IHS Global Insight expects these prices to edge down in the coming months as weaker demand puts downward pressure on prices. Capital equipment prices inched lower on weaker computer prices.
Overall, weaker economic growth domestically and abroad should continue to put downward pressure on most categories of producer prices with the exception of food prices (more susceptible to weather conditions). In an environment where producers have been squeezed by higher input costs (mostly from energy and food prices), the news of potential future declines in wholesale prices will be welcomed. But, it is uncertain whether battered businesses will want to reduce consumer prices as a result.
IHS Global Insight sees lower producer prices and well-anchored wages as signs that inflation should moderate in the coming months. If incoming economic data remains on the down side, this should push the Federal Reserve towards more monetary stimulus (but, probably not during the next FOMC meeting of September 20-21).

Richard III was riddled with ROUNDWORM in his dying days, analysis of skeleton reveals
- Soil from the king's pelvis was analysed by researchers from Cambridge
- It was full of roundworm eggs where the king's intestines would have been
- Further tests suggested the king had roundworm throughout his life
- The intestinal parasite infection was particularly common during his reign
The Queen asked if it was true that Richard III was really found buried under a car park. A 3D model of the king is pictured
Richard III not only had a hunchback but he also suffered from roundworm infection, research has revealed.
Scientists found roundworm eggs in a soil sample taken from the pelvis of the skeleton of the king, which was discovered last year by archaeologists at the University of Leicester.
Since the body of King Richard III was found, scientists have been undertaking careful analysis of the remains, in an attempt to shed further light on the attributes and history of the controversial king.
A team of researchers, led by Dr Piers Mitchell, of the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, used a powerful microscope to examine soil samples taken from the skeleton's pelvis and skull, as well as from the soil surrounding the grave.
The microscope revealed multiple roundworm eggs in the soil sample taken from the pelvis, where the intestines would have been situated in life.
However, there was no sign of eggs in soil from the skull and very few eggs in the soil that surrounded the grave.
This suggests the eggs found in the king's pelvis were from a genuine roundworm infection during his life, rather than from external contamination of human waste dumped in the area.
Roundworms are parasitic nematodes which infect humans when people ingest their eggs via contaminated food, water, or soil.
There was no sign of eggs in soil from the skeleton's skull and very few eggs in the soil that surrounded the grave, suggesting that the eggs found in the pelvis area resulted from a genuine roundworm infection during the king's life. Roundworms are pictured
The skeleton of Richard III, pictured, was discovered at the Grey Friars excavation site in Leicester. Eggs in his pelvis revealed that he was infested with roundworm and had a hunchback when he died
Once eaten, the eggs hatch into larvae, which migrate through the tissues of the body to the lungs where they mature.
then crawl up the airways to the throat to be swallowed back into the
intestines, where they can grow into adults around a foot long.
Roundworm infection is thought to be one of the most common health conditions in the world, affecting up to a quarter of all people globally, although it is rare in Britain today.
Dr Mitchell said: 'Our results show that Richard was infected with roundworms in his intestines, although no other species of intestinal parasite were present in the samples we studied.

They then crawl up the airways to the throat to be swallowed back into the intestines, where they can grow into adults around a foot long.
'We would expect nobles of this period to have eaten meats such as beef, pork and fish regularly, but there was no evidence for the eggs of the beef, pork or fish tapeworm.
'This may suggest that his food was cooked thoroughly, which would have prevented the transmission of these parasites.'
Dr Jo Appleby, lecturer in human bioarchaeology at the University of Leicester, said: 'Despite Richard's noble background, it appears that his lifestyle did not completely protect him from intestinal parasite infection, which would have been very common at the time.'
The Dig for Richard III was led by the University of Leicester, working with Leicester City Council and in association with the Richard III Society.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) announced the completion of a tabletop drill done in cooperation with the fifth Regional Coast Guard Headquarters. The scenario entailed a containership operated by MOL Liner Division (Hong Kong) and managed by an MOL Group ship management company (Hong Kong) colliding with a coastal freighter in Osaka Bay, Japan.
The drill was held on Thursday, May 16, with aim to further strengthening MOL's emergency response structure, which is based on the MOL Group Corporate Principles - protecting the environment by maintaining strict, safe operations, and navigation standards. The exercise also was designed to ensure the smooth, precise communications that are so critical in the event of a marine incident, involving an MOL-operated containership in which containers and hazardous objects or materials go overboard and a fire breaks out.
Main participants included fifth Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, MOL president, executives and relevant divisions, which teamed up to organize an Emergency Control Headquarters, MOL Liner Division (Hong Kong), the ship management company New Asian Shipping Co., Ltd., and ship management headquarters MOL Ship Management Co., Ltd.
The drill scenario was that the containership, which was under way toward Port of Kobe, collided with a coastal freighter in Osaka Bay, which was also under way in the bay. The collision caused containers and hazardous objects on the vessel gone overboard and a fire broke out on the deck.
The scenario began with a report from the containership. MOL immediately reported the incident to the fifth Regional Coast Guard Headquarters. MOL then organized an Emergency Control Headquarters within the company, took first-response tasks and procedures that included information gathering, communications among the concerned parties, and directions and instructions to the vessel, and held a joint media response drill.
The company continues to sharpen its group-wide emergency response readiness by sharing know-how accumulated in these training sessions throughout the MOL Group and its fleet.

Little League - Ryde had 2 Charters, North finished 3rd and qualified form Nationals and South finished a credible 6th.

'They are our inspiration': Little Mix dream of being new Spice Girls, as Mel C doles out advice and Emma Bunton tweets support
Several groups have come close to taking the Spice Girls' crown, but no one has quite made it - until now that is.
Even All Saints, Sugababes and Girls Aloud never quite captured the girl power that Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger and Posh possessed.
But Little Mix are ready to reign in the world of girl power, crediting the feisty Wannabe quartet as their 'inspiration'.
Survivors: After taking part in the charity single performance, it was revealed Little Mix were safe and will return for the semi-final next week
Mel C, who is now a mother to two-year-old Scarlet, visited the X Factor contestants backstage to give them some advice and tell them they reminded her of when the Spice Girls first started.
Perrie Edwards, 18, told the Sunday Mirror: 'It was the best compliment ever, we couldn't believe it!'
Pinnock, 19, added: 'She told us the golden rule was to always remember each of us
has a role in the group.
'Inspiring': Mel C and Emma Bunton have given Little Mix words of encouragement
'If one person stands out as the leader or the
star, then that doesn't mean any of the other band members are less
'She said we were all vital to the band and Little Mix wouldn't be whole without all of us in the group.
'They are our inspiration as they were fresh and funky. They all had their own individual character and style, just like us. I'm the scary one with a bit of bite and attitude. Jesy's the sporty one, Perrie's the crazy one and Jade is like baby as she is sweet and girly.'
Could they win? Little Mix performed an incredible rendition of Christina Aguilera song Beautiful
Emma Bunton also showed her support for the rising stars by tweeting: 'Love Little Mix!!!'
On tonight's results show it was revealed that Perrie and Leigh-Anne, along with bandmates Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall, had made it into the semi-final next week.
They will be joined by Amelia Lily, Marcus Collins and Misha B - who was saved from the bottom two against axed Janet Devlin.
Insecurities: Jesy Nelson has suffered Twitter abuse regarding her weight
Last night, they opened the show with a mash-up of Justin Bieber's Baby and The Supremes track Where Did Our Love Go, set against the backdrop of a fifties diner.
Things looked bleak when Louis Walsh said: 'I thought last week you were incredible, but this was a little lacklustre. You need to pull something more about the bag if you want to stay.
'A little bit of girl power! I want them in the final, I just think they can do better.'
Soulful: Jesy and Jade, along with Perrie and Leigh-Anne, put their emotions into their second song
However, it was during the second song that they won over the panel with their rendition of Christina Aguilera hit Beautiful.
Since starring on the show, Nelson, 20, has received a barrage of online hate from people making fun of her weight and comparing her to her slimmer bandmates.
But she seemed to conquer her insecurities, singing the lyrics: 'I am beautiful, no matter what they say. Words can't bring me down.'
Pass the tissues! The girls looked visibly moved after their performance
Jesy began to cry as she sang her final note, which set Kelly Rowland off with the waterworks.
The Destiny's Child star said: 'You have no idea how much I want to see you at the top of the charts. You are all so unique that when you come together it's so special.'
Gary Barlow credited the strength of their success on their relationship instead of the music, adding: 'You have friendship and it's a real key ingredient for a successful band.'

For a third consecutive year, the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. (Phi Lambda Zeta chapter) have been helping families in the Golden Triangle area beat the heat by collecting fans and funds to distribute to families in need through their Beat the Heat Fan Drive. Fans are being donated to senior residents on a fixed income or families with disabled members.
The drive meets a critical basic need: Relief from life-threatening heat for those who do not have or cannot afford a fan or air conditioning. If interested in helping, donations may be sent to Phi Lambda Zeta Chapter, P.O. Box 53, West Point, MS 39773.
"We will distribute whatever fans or dollars are received as soon as they are received. The need is that great, because during this time of the year people are just trying to stay cool" says Tabitha Coleman, chairperson of the fan drive.
If you or someone you know needs a fan, contact Tabitha Coleman at 662-242-0096 to arrange for a pick-up. The fan drive will continue through the end of August.

Chargers and cords are not really sexy tech. I imagine they aren't your favorite things to read about – they certainly aren't my favorite accessories to write about. They are, however, very important because they give daily life to the gadgets we love.
Phones, tablets, smart watches, and Bluetooth speakers; they all need to be juiced daily. Wouldn't it be nice if there was one charger that could charge them all simultaneously – regardless of whether they charge via Micro USB, QC 3.0, or Nexus quick charge?
Well, you just aren't going to believe this, but there is a new charger from Aukey that satisfies all those demands.Read More

???<quoted text>
The reason xtians must 'prove it' to unbelievers is because one of the NT manuscripts state 'to preach the gospel to the world'.
IOW, you are to be ambassadors for your Jesus. If you can't provide the proof that the unbeliever asks for then you are not qualified to be a messenger.
BTW, Jesus was/is not god.
So, when did "preach" and "prove" became the same definition?
When did that happen? pray tell.

2014 theme for the German National Tourist Board (GNTB)
The GNTB is running an extensive campaign for its 'UNESCO World Heritage – Sustainable cultural and natural tourism' theme, which promotes the 39 UNESCO World Heritage sites of Destination Germany. Using multimedia marketing tools, the GNTB aims to further raise the international profile of the World Heritage sites and to make Germany more appealing to visitors from abroad for many years to come, primarily through interactive online promotions.
At the heart of the campaign are the online and mobile features, as well as a broad range of social media activities. The GNTB website acts as a central platform for the 2014 theme, providing in-depth content on the World Heritage sites of Destination Germany at www.germany.travel/unesco. Here potential visitors will find interactive maps, 360º panoramas, photos and videos, as well as detailed information in twelve languages. The landing page features a specially developed app that travellers can download in order to discover the eight regional UNESCO routes in Germany. One of the main social media initiatives is a Facebook competition inviting people to travel through time in Germany. The idea is that fans use an app to create their own journey through time around the UNESCO sites for their chance to win trips along the UNESCO routes and to the individual attractions.

Home > Press > First direct electric link between neurons and light-sensitive nanoparticle films created
The world's first direct electrical link between nerve cells and photovoltaic nanoparticle films has been achieved by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) and the University of Michigan. The development opens the door to applying the unique properties of nanoparticles to a wide variety of light-stimulated nerve-signaling devices — including the possible development of a nanoparticle-based artificial retina.
Nanoparticles are artificially created bits of matter not much bigger than individual atoms. Their behavior is controlled by the same forces that shape molecules; they also exhibit the bizarre effects associated with quantum mechanics. Scientists can exploit these characteristics to custom-build new materials "from the bottom up" with characteristics such as compatibility with living cells and the ability to turn light into tiny electrical currents that can produce responses in nerves.
That's what the UTMB and Michigan researchers did, using a process devised by Michigan chemical engineering professor Nicholas Kotov, one of the authors of a paper on the research appearing in the current issue of Nano Letters. The process starts with a glass plate and then builds a layer-by-layer sandwich of two kinds of ultra-thin films, one made of mercury-tellurium nanoparticles and another of a positively charged polymer called PDDA. The scientists then added a layer of ordinary clay and a cell-friendly coating of amino acid, and placed cultured neurons on the very top.
When light shines on them, the mercury-tellurium nanoparticle film layers produce electrons, which then move up into the PDDA film layers and produce an upward-moving electrical current. "As you build up the layers of this, you get better capabilities to absorb photons and generate voltage," said UTMB research scientist Todd Pappas, lead author on the Nano Letters paper. "When the current reaches the neuron membrane, it depolarizes the cell to the point where it fires, and you get a signal in the nerve."
Although light signals have previously been transmitted to nerve cells using silicon (whose ability to turn light into electricity is employed in solar cells and in the imaging sensors of video cameras), nanoengineered materials promise far greater efficiency and versatility.
"It should be possible for us to tune the electrical characteristics of these nanoparticle films to get properties like color sensitivity and differential stimulation, the sort of things you want if you're trying to make an artificial retina, which is one of the ultimate goals of this project," Pappas said. "You can't do that with silicon. Plus, silicon is a bulk material — silicon devices are much less size-compatible with cells."
The researchers caution that despite the great potential of a light-sensitive nanoparticle-neuron interface, creating an actual implantable artificial retina is a long-range project. But they're equally hopeful about a variety of other, less complex applications made possible by a tiny, versatile light-activated interface with nerve cells — such things as new ways to connect with artificial limbs and other prostheses, and revolutionary new tools for imaging, diagnosis and therapy.
"The beauty of this achievement is that these materials can be remotely activated without having to use wires to connect them. All you have to do is deliver light to the material," said Professor Massoud Motamedi, director of UTMB's Center for Biomedical Engineering and a co-author of the paper. "This type of technology has the ability to provide non-invasive connections between the human nervous system and prostheses and instruments that are unprecedented in their flexibility, compactness and reliability," Motamedi continued. "I feel that such nanotools are going to give the fields of medicine and biology brand-new capabilities that it's hard to even imagine now."
Other authors of the paper include University of Michigan graduate students W.M. Shan Wickramanayake and Edward Jan, as well as UTMB neuroscience and cell biology professor Malcolm Brodwick. The National Science Foundation provided funding for this research.
