First of all I need to start out by saying don't get suckered in by the
movie's title, as "The Assassin's Blade" ("Mo Hup Leung Juk") is just
about as misleading as it gets. Having seen the movie now, I understand
nothing at all where this movie title comes to shine through in the
storyline or the meaning of the movie.
And the DVD cover brandishes 'from the action director of "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers"', yeah, that might very well be so, but those two movies are epic martial arts movies, where as "The Assassin's Blade" is a lovestory and a soap opera drama at best. There is just nothing to hint at or even remotely make this movie epic in any sense.
That being said, don't get me wrong, because "The Assassin's Blade" isn't all bad. The movie is entertaining enough, just don't enter it with the hopes to see an epic martial arts movie. The story is about Zhu Yanzhi (played by Charlene Choi) who enters a martial arts school disguised as a boy. Here she has to impress the masters and learn the martial arts in order to stay at the school. However, back home there is something sinister brewing in the politics and old, trusted people turn out to be nothing at all what they appear.
The movie is beautifully shot, and there is some good cinematography throughout the movie, and it is spices up with some really interesting (and often beautiful) scenes and scenery.
However, the movie does tend to incorporate comedy into the story, which doesn't always work out well. And as for Charlene Choi to pass as a boy, well that was just too far fetched, and you'd have to be both blind and deaf to believe that illusion for even a second.
For a fan of the Hong Kong cinema, then I found "The Assassin's Blade" to be bewildering and too far straying from what the DVD cover let on. So don't judge a book (or movie) by its cover, eh?
I am rating "The Assassin's Blade" a mediocre 5 out of 10 rating, because it wasn't at all what it was wrapped up to be on the DVD cover, but at the same time, it wasn't an all together bad movie. However, it did come off as somewhat of a teenage love drama spiced up with a hint of comedy and martial arts.

Are there any good Java cross platform SIP / VOIP dev kits that you have personally used? I've found one or two that seem like they could be worthwhile pursuing, but I'm still not 100% sold on them.
That seems to be the leader at the moment. However, it doesn't look like they are developing still. I've had a few emails with them and the answers provided were great.
I have a Java application that requires an inbuilt SIP endpoint. I'd like to avoid wrapping native libraries if possible, as this application needs to run on Windows, Mac OS X, and potentially Linux systems.
Something with third party call control (3pcc) would instantly top the list, but it's not a 100% requirement as I figure I can implement that myself without too much worry.

Public housing in France
Public housing in France (French: logement social, also called Habitations à loyer modéré, or HLM) is a central, local or social program designed to provide subsidized assistance for low-income and poor people.
|Number of residences
per 1,000 inhabitants[1]
|United Kingdom
France had 4.508 million HLM on January 1, 2010 (except overseas regions of Martinique and Guyane).[3]
France has a long tradition of social and state intervention in the provision of housing. In 1775, the Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans was built with a part dedicated to house workers.[4] In the 19th century the cités ouvrières (company towns) appeared, inspired by the Phalanstère of Charles Fourier.[5] After World War II the population increased at a rate previously unknown, the rural exodus increased and war damage had reduced the number of houses in many cities. Rental prices dramatically rose so the government passed a rent control law in 1949. That effectively ended the economic benefits of housing investment. Also, construction was strictly regulated, which made building very difficult without political support.
The government launched a huge construction plan, including the creation of new towns ("villes nouvelles") and new suburbs with HLM (Habitation à Loyer Modéré, "low-rent housing"). The state had the money and the legal means to acquire the land and could provide some advantages to the companies that built the huge housing complexes of hundreds of apartments. Quality was also effectively regulated, resulting in decent or even top-quality housing for the 1950s and 1960s. Political forces used the HLM weapon effectively, as the family that was given the opportunity to have an HLM would thank its mayor. Besides, a communist mayor was always happy to have as much HLM as possible, for tenants were poorer and more likely to vote for him. A Gaullist neighbour was as happy to see the tenants leave.
HLM construction was also a major source of political financing, and building companies were sometimes made to pay back the political party of the mayor who launched an HLM program. That resulted in corruption scandals in the Paris region and elsewhere.
In 1998, a law required every town in France to have at least 20% HLM.[citation needed]
- The HLM, Habitations à loyer modéré, can be private or public; they are the most common and house an estimated thirteen million people
- Subsidized housing (built by private sector)
- Co-operatives
Effect on economy[edit]
|This article reads like an editorial or opinion piece. (February 2013)
The social housing programs in France have an obvious positive effect on the consumption of the households that benefit from them.[6] There is no consensus about the influence on either the rents of the private sector or the prices of real estate.

Twin Pekes Seeing Double? Take Them to the Identical Twin Sisters of Sisters, Oregon
In 1967, Susan and Sharon became the first female identical twins to graduate from a U.S. veterinary school (the University of California, Davis). Both then married graduates of the same school. After Susan's marriage ended in 1977, she moved to Oregon. Sharon and her husband moved there four months later and opened the clinic. At first, Susan worked in a nearby town, but eventually joined her sister and brother-in-law's clinic. In 1984, Sharon's marriage ended, and the sisters took over the practice together. "We're the same age; we have the same thinking and the same training," says Sharon.
The 48-year-old twins, who have two children each, grew up in Santa Barbara, Calif., where their parents were beauticians. They got their first pet, a dog, when they were 5. That was followed by a rabbit, guinea pigs, rats, parakeets, canaries, cats, skunks, opossums, chinchillas and a monkey. "We lived in town, but we still raised baby goats right in our yard until someone turned us in," says Susan. "One time, we had a pet rattlesnake. Mother got really mad."
The menagerie grew as other children realized that the girls could heal animals. By the time they were 10, they had made their career choice. "One day the local vet asked us if we'd like to watch him spay a cat," says Sharon. "That was it. We thought that was so neat."
Now, though domestic animals make up the bulk of their practice, the sisters' proximity to the local forests means that more exotic cases sometimes show up—from a golden eagle wounded by poachers to dogs with faces full of porcupine quills.
The twins, who as teenagers sometimes switched clothes in the bathroom when they were on double dates, play it straight these days. Still, admits Susan, "When I have a case that doesn't work out real well, it's tempting to say, 'No, I'm not the one who worked on your pet.' "

Three black bastards each take on five Cauc cooches in handsomely captured, well-energized suck/fuck/sodo/spew scenes – one shot here, two apparently abroad – that are hard-edge, but not crazy hard-edge.
L.T. is arguably the luckiest bastard of the lot – his quintet of quim includes Aurora Snow, Courtney Cummz and Trina Michaels.

Reading the Female Body in Late Tang Daoism
Stephen R. Bokenkamp, Visiting Professor of Religious Studies, Stanford University,Arizona State University
RSVP REQUIRED. Space limited: contact firstname.lastname@example.com if wishing to attend.
In this talk, I explore the literary remains of a group of remarkable Daoists of the late eighth and early ninth centuries. Tracing their origin to Xie Ziran 謝自然 (d. 794) and Han Ziming 韓自明 (764-831), a group of women developed their own lineage and practices within the imperial court that was quite distinct from those of contemporary Daoist nuns. In addition to Daoist meditation and ritual practice, these women were involved in the consumption of alchemical elixirs. Eventually, this group of priestesses came to occupy a Belvedere within the imperial palace and attracted the patronage of the capital's elite. The literary image made by and for them included much that was uncharacteristic of Daoism — stigmata, holy bleeding, and early death — and perhaps for this very reason was of intense interest to the court and literati of the time.
A graduate of U.C. Berkeley, Stephen Bokenkamp now teaches in the School of International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University. Professor Bokenkamp is the author of Early Daoist Scriptures (1997) and Ancestors and Anxiety: Daoism and the Birth of Rebirth in China (2007), as well as many other works on medieval Chinese religions. During the autumn term, he is offering an undergraduate course on the Daoist body and a graduate seminar on Chinese religious texts in the Department of Religious Studies.

TIME WARP!!! Dance your cares away with Gobo, Mokey, Red, Wembley and Boober when Fraggle Rock's fourth and final season comes out on DVD November 3rd. Envisioned in the mind of Jim Henson, creator of Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock debuted on January 10, 1983, broadcast in the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It soon became an international phenomenon, with the "Fraggle Rock Theme" reaching number thirty-three on the British charts. Of all Henson's series Fraggle Rock was the most conceptually rich, with Gorgs, Doozers, and the Silly Creatures of Outer Space all comprising the family-friendly syndicate. The magical world of Fraggle Rock will enchant anyone who is a kid at heart. Here's Fraggle Rock's version of "We Are the World," with "Children of Tomorrow" (queue warm, fuzzy feelings):

Hashem answered and said I will forgive him.He went further and said what if the guests are sinners Hashem replied I will forgive them also,He went further and said maybe the Mohel will be a sinner Hashem answered I will forgive him too.
Now we can explain the Possuk: "תחת אשר קינא לאלוקיו"-Because you are zealous for Hashem. "קנאי לה'"-Therfore you can not stand sinners "ויכפר על בני ישראל" –Therfore all of the Jews will be forgiven.
Therefore he comes to Brissim to bear witness to Hashem's promise to grant everyone forgiveness, and the posuk in Parshas Pinchas explains why Hashem grants us this forgivness.

Five Players to Watch in the AAC: Purvis, Moreira, Frazier, Cummings & WoodardPosted by Mike Lemaire on October 29th, 2014
In the coming weeks, we will be posting as much preview content as possible. We are starting today with AAC players to watch, but expect more on coaches and newcomers to watch, etc. If you are really lucky, we might even post some stuff where "to watch" isn't in the title this preseason.
One of the best and also most difficult parts about putting this list together is that the AAC has so many players worth watching. The league doesn't have the NBA talent that other leagues do, but in some ways that is more fun. We started the list with more than 25 names and it was bittersweet to cut each one of them from the list because they are all worth mentioning. The definition of "worth watching" obviously varies and not everyone will agree with our group, but while we didn't create an algorithm to trim the list, we did consider more than just sheer talent when choosing these five players.
Rodney Purvis, guard, UConn. You may have heard that the defending champions lost a pretty important player to the NBA after their magical run to last season's National Championship. You may have also heard that this year's version of the Huskies is expecting to have a tough time replacing that guy's production. If you've heard those things, then you've probably also heard that there is a fair amount of pressure on Rodney Purvis, in particular, to make up for his absence.
No one expects the North Carolina State transfer to replace all of Shabazz Napier's production. But a big reason why the Huskies are a consensus top-20 team in preseason polls is because most folks expect Purvis to replace a whole lot of it. After all, it was head coach Kevin Ollie who likened Purvis to a Ferrari last season, and those expectations are not unfounded. Purvis was one of the most highly recruited players in the country coming out of high school and the 6'4″ and 205-pound combo guard is an explosive athlete who can attack the rim as well as shoot the three. With senior Ryan Boatright sliding over to handle the team's point guard duties, Purvis should be free to concentrate on scoring, rebounding and playing defense. An MCL sprain to fellow guard Omar Calhoun only makes him more important to the league favorites.
Yanick Moreira, center, SMU. Moreira filled up the box score for Angola in this summer's FIBA World Cup. He averaged 17.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in five outings and was one of the breakout stars of the tournament. Of course those eye-popping numbers came against lesser competition, and Moreira still hasn't shown he can stay healthy for a full season. But if he can provide even two-thirds of that production for the Mustangs this winter, they will almost assuredly get invited to the NCAA Tournament. The oft-injured senior missed the majority of the conference slate last season and he never really regained his form after an inspiring start to the season. Although SMU was still moderately successful without him in the lineup, the team missed his rebounding, athleticism and rim-protection. Also, the main reason the team was still successful was because frontcourt partner Markus Kennedy emerged as one of the best big men in the conference. Kennedy is back and expected to assert himself again this season, so if Moreira can stay healthy, the duo forms easily the best frontcourt in the conference.

Hourly - Entry Level ($) - Est. Time: 3 to 6 months, 10-30 hrs/week - PostedSkills: Translation English Swedish Swedish Writing
Hello! I am looking for a native Swedish speaking person, who could help me with three things: 1) Write a long social media post/article of 350 – 500 words twice a month ( 2*1,5 hours). Topics are very diverse. As long as you can tie the post somehow to home cleaning, home care, home improvement and design it is fine. Please see this page for reference: http://www.handyheroes.se/varingra-tips 2) Write short 50 – 150 words posts twice a month for our Instagram page (2*30 minutes). Pretty much you will have access to a database of images and will just have to choose an image and write something short and catchy related to it. Please see examples (the short ones, not the long ones): https://www.instagram.com/handyheroes.se/ 3) Help with some practical English to Swedish translations throughout the month (3 hours per month). So pretty much we will be connected on Facebook or through sms. And from time to time I might text you "Hey, how do you say this word or phrase in Swedish?" or "Hey, does this sound correct?" or "Hey, could you please help me translate this thing?". This makes a total of 7 hours per month. I am contacting more people now and will choose the best offer. Please let me know if this is something you can help with and how much would you charge. Thanks, Cristina

Hotness is a word in the English language, which is the noun representing how "hot" something is. It's very commonly used to refer to the instances of "hot" that are not related to temperature (which heat generally implies).
In our case, we're using "hot" as in "hot topic", a subject or topic that is on the eyes and minds of a large number of people. Something a lot of people are looking at. While its word origins probably come from the temperature (as have many of the forms of hot), it's still not quite as direct, so "hotness" comes out more direct than "heat" in the UI.

I assume a state-of-the-art installation therefore nothing weird like DC and SQL-Server on the same machine. Think about an installation following the commendations of microsft and all the recommended settings on both servers in a windows 2008R2 domain with sql2008R2.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Ideally, SQL Server should run on a dedicated server - no IIS, no DC, no other apps! This is primarily for security and performance reasons - memory, and disc IO particularly - but it also makes troubleshooting easier. If this is not about SQL Server Express, the licencing costs of SQL Server surely justify a dedicated box.
In clustered SQL Server environments, the installer prohibits SQL Server being installed on a box that is a DC.

The case of "Prisoner X," an Australian-Israeli who committed suicide in prison after being secretly jailed, has a precedent in the 1980s in Marcus Klingberg, who was behind what is regarded as the most damaging Soviet spy affair in Israeli history.
Klingberg, who was deputy director of a bacteriological research centre near Tel Aviv, was arrested in 1982 for passing secrets to the then Soviet Union. The research centre's work is covered by military secrecy rules.
He was jailed for 20 years after a secret trial in 1983 and spent the first 10 years in solitary confinement.
His arrest during an operation by Israel's internal security agency Shin Bet and his sentence remained under wraps for 10 years -- only in January 1994 did an Israeli court allow publication of his case.
Klingberg, born in 1918 in Poland, was a colonel in the Soviet Red Army during World War II. He emigrated to Sweden before going to Israel in 1948.
According to the Israeli press he provided information to the KGB, the former Soviet Union's intelligence agency, for more than 20 years.
Caught because of a double agent, he was arrested in the garden of a house in Tel Aviv in view of Shin Bet's hidden cameras.
He was finally released on September 18, 1998 after serving 15 years.
Earlier appeals for early release on humanitarian grounds had been rejected: after 11 years in jail he suffered from heart disease and high blood pressure and was almost blind and moved with difficulty.
Israeli Judge Aharon Barak refused an early appeal, describing Klingberg's offence as "the most serious" in Israel's history.
He pointed to evidence from an unnamed specialist who had told the court that Klingberg's release would be dangerous, because he had in his memory "a secret of the utmost importance" which he might reveal, albeit unwittingly.
Upon her father's release his daughter Sylvia said that Klingberg was not a communist, but was grateful to the Soviet Union for having taken him in during World War II.
The other members of his family, who remained in Warsaw, were exterminated by the Nazis.

Project description
There has been a growing interest in the Arctic from across the scientific community. The Arctic ice cover has decreased, allowing increasing access to the natural resource base in the area and has the potential to open new shipping routes. There is widespread concern that this increased activity could pose a threat to our fragile arctic environment, as well as the wider threat to our global ecosystem. This PhD project is looking at an important aspect of freeze bonds and their associate strengths in sea ice structures. This is fundamental to understanding risks to manmade structures in the region.

Roberto Aloi
Because of my academic career, I'm interested in software engineering, human - computer interaction, user interfaces, graphics, databases, web applications and more.
As the final thesis for my Bachelor's degree, I implemented a garbage collector for a Java Virtual Machine (named Juice) targeted to embedded systems with real time requirements. As the final thesis for my Master's degree, I designed an access control mechanism for the Content Management System Joomla (www.joomla.org). It was successfully used for an e-learning solution.
I spent my last years discovering the Erlang language and getting addicted to it.

I have a 2011 Mac mini connected to my 2008 iMac via Ethernet cable. The Mac mini is configured to accept remote management sessions, but the problem is when the Mac mini's AirPort is turned on, the remote management software defaults to the Wi-Fi connection versus the Ethernet connection, resulting in a much slower refresh rate. Is there any way to force the remote management software to use the Ethernet connection versus the Wi-Fi connection?
The default is as per Interface "Service Order" for any connection on your iMac
UNLESS - the connection in the software was made prior to the Ethernet cable being connected, in which case it will stay WiFi, until you restart software, or disconnect WiFi, and the app has to connect again.
Head to the Network, under System Preferences, and set your 'Service Order' accordingly.

16 Year Old Isaac Moldofsky Builds Reddit Parser with Twilio SMS

Splunk Dials In Data With Twilio: Using Call and SMS Tracking To Measure Success
"Time kills all deals." We've all heard the expression. It's folksy. It's colloquial. But, it's not quite actionable. How do you correct your time-wasting mistakes if you don't know you're making them? There's a simple answer that also happens to be a favorite saying of Developer Evangelist Rob Spectre — look at the data. Splunk helps companies organize and synthesise data of all sorts so they… Read More

Front Makes SMS Collaborative With Twilio
We think of text messages like letters being sent to personal mailboxes. Only the phone owner has a key to that mailbox. This is great for private communication between friends, family, significant others, etc. But it's a nightmare for businesses.

WICHITA— Many patients need a one-time blood transfusion, but the estimated 100,000 Americans with sickle cell disease face a lifetime of them. During September, National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, the American Red Cross encourages blood donations from donors of all types.
Most people with sickle cell disease are of African descent, but many are of Indian, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Mediterranean and other descents. Because recipients are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with the same ethnicity, a diverse supply is important.
Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to form an abnormal shape. Regular blood transfusions can help reduce the risks of stroke, damage to major organs and other complications. While better management of the disease has increased life expectancy in recent years, there is still no cure.
Visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS to learn more and make an appointment to donate blood for patients in need like those with sickle cell disease.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities:
Barber County
Sept. 23 from 12-6 p.m. at United Methodist Church, 108 E. Second in Medicine Lodge.
Barton County
Sept. 16 from 11:15 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at St. Rose Auditorium, 1412 Baker St. in Great Bend.
Comanche County
Sept. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Coldwater Veterans City Building, 239 E. Main in Coldwater.
Ford County
Sept. 19 from 12-6 p.m. at Senior Center, 2408 Central Ave. in Dodge City.
Sept. 20 from 7:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Senior Center, 2408 Central Ave. in Dodge City.
Gray County
Sept. 16 from 2-6:30 p.m. at Morningside Community Church, 100 N. Apache in Montezuma.

Sept. 17 from 2-6 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Building, 209 N. Main in Lakin.
Kiowa County
Sept. 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Greensburg Mennonite Church, 310 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in Greensburg.
Ness County
Sept. 24 from 12-6 p.m. at Ness County Fair Building, 302 W. Nevada in Ness City.
Pratt County

Sept. 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pratt Community College, 348 NE State Road in Pratt.
How to donate blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

It's time to demand that the FDA protect pregnant women and children from mercury fillings – and to offer true informed consent. Why we need fair balanced science, not industry hype and fraud....
The American Dental Association (ADA) continues to support the use of toxic mercury in dental fillings, even as the significant risks to human health and the environment continue to mount.
They died after contamination with this toxin... with NO safe level of exposure. Yet the FDA's feet are stuck in quicksand, despite a signed international treaty. US - first to sign, last to comply? Very embarrassing and disturbing for caring Americans! What to do now...
And don't think it's not common. Half of all dentists are involved in this consumer fraud, which allows them to make more money per chair per day, despite the fact you're being tricked into swallowing a toxin that ravages your kidneys and could even trigger MS.
Turns your brain to mush. Yet while comparing the EU to the US, they infamously claim, "We don't use our people as guinea pigs in the US." This, while they refuse to warn our most at-risk citizens about this toxin, and endorsing it with false labels. Have you been duped?
This neurotoxin slowly assaults your brain and hinders its ability to function. Yet experts never bothered to tell you it was poisonous. Word is slowly leaking out, despite the FDA's "secret" agenda to suck you in. Finally... you have the right to know the whole truth.
And for good reason - you're clearly being lied to by selfish professionals about one of the most potent neurotoxins known to man. If they ever recommend it, ask them why an entire building has to be evacuated even for a spill tinier than what they want to put in your body.
For under $60 a month, your dentist could stop toxic mercury waste from contaminating the environment… but many choose not to install this simple device.
New research shows this dietary factor is directly related to your risk of cavities, even in areas where fluoride is widely used.
Most people are aware this is a potent toxin... but are you aware that this source forces you to breathe its fumes every moment of every day? And that such exposure can derail your ability to walk, talk, see, and think - and can even masquerade as M.S.?
They aren't lying, but they are misleading you - refusing to openly tell you the truth about a substance that can do untold damage to your brain and nervous system. Please heed this warning, get informed, and avoid exposing your brain to this deadly train wreck.

Rockets Outlast Broncos, Win 3-2
KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Western Michigan volleyball team took a held a 2-0 lead over the leaders in the Mid-American Conference West division, but the Broncos were unable to hold on in falling 3-2 (25-18, 25-14, 12-25, 23-25, 14-16) to the Toledo Rockets at University Arena on Friday. With the loss, the Broncos fall to 16-12 on the season, 9-6 in MAC play.
The Broncos had a strong offensive night, with senior Gillian Asque leading the way with a 15-kill performance, a mark that also including a .406 hitting percentage. Claire Gerwig was not far behind her, posting 14 kills and a .343 hitting percentage. Lexie Pawlik posted a double-double of 56 assists and 11 digs, while freshman Alysia Baznik notched one as well with 14 kills and 14 digs. Five Bronco players recorded double-digit digs, including Baznik, Pawlik, Lena Oliver, Caroline Rose, and Kaycee Acree.
The first set went about as well as possible for the Broncos, who used strong passing ability to produce a killer offensive barrage against the Rockets. WMU trailed 7-4 at one point in the first set, but bounced back and took the lead at 11-10 on a block from Asque and Rachel Sheffer. The teams traded points back and forth until Gerwig blasted one through the block to make it 16-15, and a Toledo attack error on the next point put the Broncos in control. Gerwig hammered home another kill out of the timeout, and the duo of Pawlik and Ave Stout blocked the Rockets' Jordan Kielty to cap the 5-0 run and give the Broncos a 19-15 edge. The run ended ultimately being a 10-1 foray, with Sheffer and Gerwig capping the run with kills to make it 24-18. Sheffer closed out the set with a down line shot for the kill, giving WMU a 25-18 set win.
WMU went further on the offensive in the second set, hitting .545 as a team and blowing by the Rockets to take a 2-0 advantage in the match. The Broncos never trailed in the set, opening on a 3-0 run that saw Asque rip two kills to seal the rally. Baznik later made it 5-2 with a kill, and the Broncos eventually took an 11-6 lead with a kill from Baznik that forced a Toledo timeout. The Rockets burned their second timeout of the set a few points later, after Stout capped a 4-0 Bronco run with a kill to make it a 16-9 edge for WMU. Pawlik took a full wind-up and swing for a kill to make it a 17-10 edge for the Broncos, and Stout posted kills on back-to-back points to make it a 20-11 edge. Asque forced set point with a high hands shot through the middle block to make it 24-14, and went on to wrap the set 25-14 with a kill two points later.
The Rockets took control of the rest of the match, though, starting with a .583 hitting performance in the third set that saw them win 25-12. The fourth set was back and forth all the way through, with the Broncos leading 21-20 at one point on a kill from Baznik. The Rockets scored three straight points to take a 23-21 lead, but Sheffer responded with a kill to make it 23-22. The Rockets' Becca Reidy ultimately forced set five with a kill, as Toledo took the fourth set 25-23.
Toledo came back from a large deficit in the fifth set to take the win, rallying after trailing by a score of 14-7. The Rockets scored the final nine points of the match, taking a 16-14 decision in the fifth set and the win.

Today, VoxEU.org introduces a new feature – "VoxAccounts" – which is the first step towards building a more interactive community of economists interested in research-based policy analysis and commentary. The aim is to allow Vox community members to customise their interactions with the site. You join by creating a VoxAccount. Creating a VoxAccount is free, and indeed all content on VoxEU.org will remain free of charge, but we will gradually introduce features that require readers to be logged in to their VoxAccounts.
Frontiers of economic research
Econophysics is an emerging field applying theories and methods from physics to economic problems and data. This column explores the collective motions of trade and the effects of trade liberalisation, using global data from the past two decades. Econophysics methods reveal how business cycles synchronise, and how economic risk propagates throughout the global economic network. The results also highlight inherent problems of structural controllability that are induced during economic crises.
Ethnic favouritism is widely regarded as an African phenomenon, or at most a problem of poor and weakly institutionalised countries. This column uses data on night-time light intensity to challenge these preconceptions. Ethnic favouritism is found to be as prevalent outside of Africa as it is within, and not restricted to poor or autocratic nations either. Rather, re-election concerns appear to be an important driver of the practice.
Evidence of the 'endowment effect' – ownership of an asset changing one's valuation of it – runs counter to standard microeconomic theory. This column uses evidence from the Indian stock market's random allocation of shares in IPOs to show that endowment effects do occur in even outside of controlled experiments, and correlate highly with measures of market experience. This evidence suggests that agents' inertial behaviour explains endowment effects better than standard explanations.
Scientific research is increasingly the product of collaborations between researchers. One driver of this trend over the last half century has been falling communication costs. This column uses data on faculty members of chemistry departments in the US to explore whether the reduction in air travel costs over the last three decades has had a similar effect on scientific collaboration. The introduction of a low-cost carrier route is associated with a 50% increase in collaborations between researchers.

In a case of too many cooks spoiling the stew, helmsman Martin del Toro has seen fit to provide an overabundance of schwance without the payoff. With four scenes containing multiple meat, only one steps into double penetration territory. The others seem wasteful by letting guys stand around jerking, randomly popping it into her mouth. Not that these smutty sequences should be tossed off, if you will, as the title doesn't deceive: There is still plenty of quality pussy pounding throughout.
Giving triple blowjobs, Kaylynn anxiously desires more to satisfy her wanton needs. Rotating around, the studs each get a turn at poking her swollen serpent socket, but it leaves the feeling that more could have been accomplished.
