- "...makes a change for Two-Six to deal with their miscreants instead of pinning medals on them..."
- — Part of a conversation between two members of the Sovereign's Hussars about the trial of Marcus Fenix
The Sovereign's Hussars were a unit in the Coalition of Ordered Governments army.
Unit HistoryEdit
Stationed at the CICEdit
Eleven years after Emergence Day, two captains from the Sovereign's Hussars were stationed at the CIC in the House of Sovereigns. They were discussing the trial of Marcus Fenix when one of them remarked that it was a big change for a member of the 26th Royal Tyran Infantry to actually charge one of their members with a crime instead of giving them a medal. They were stopped by Col.Victor Hoffman, who was a member of the 26th RTI and the Chief of the COG Defense Staff, and he shot back at them that Marcus had fought on the frontlines for fifteen years before cracking, and he wanted them to keep their opinions about his Gears to themselves. One of the Sovereign's Hussars captains apologized, but Hoffman could tell he did not mean it, and the two stunned officers quickly walked away from Hoffman.[1]

Tak-Zac Are Back is a game based on the Tak-Zac series developed by Namcom. It is released in October 2011 on the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; while a PlayStation Vita version of the game is released in march 2012. A 3DS version of the game was planned, but scrapped.
The story is when Zoster returns to destroy the Bug World and it's up to Tak, Zac and Professor Antstein to go on a journey to stop him and his Cy-Cida army.
- Tak
- Zac
- Professor Antstein
In the Ant Village, all the power in the houses go out, so Tak and Zac volunteer to go repair the village's power plant. At the power plant, the duosaw what the problem is: someone has drained the power of the power plant with small devices sticked to the main core. Realizing someone was trying to sabatoge the plant, the duo race back to the village to tell this to the others. Meanwhile, Professor Antstein has to return a vacume he borrowed from Professor Trantsform. On his way to Trantsform, Antstein encounters strange robotic insects and uses the vacume as a weapon. When he got to Trantsform's hut, Antstein realized he was missing and left a note behind telling him he got kidnapped and to keep the vacume.
Tak and Zac go to the village to tell the ants that someone destroyed the power plant, and the village gets attacked by the same robots Antstein encountered. After destroying all the robots attacking the village, a huge mothership floats above the village. The duo realized the creator of the robots is the old nemesis, Zoster. Zoster survived his defeat last time and constructs an army of robots he calls "Cy-Cidas" and he plans to destroy the Gold Locust Heart to destroy the entire Bug World. As Zoster leaves in his ship to search for the Gold Locust Heart, Tak and Zac try to go after him.
Later, while exploring, the duo bump into Antstein who's still looking for Trantsform. The trio decide to work togethor to stop Zoster and find Trantsform. The 3 bugs cross many obstacles, but they manage to get through until they finally got to Ant City. The 3 saw Zoster's mothership floating above the city and his Cy-Cidas are attacking the city with the Bug Soldiers are trying to fight them off. The trio go to the palace where Iko, Lila and Rog set up a plan to destroy Zoster's plans.
After destroying all the Cy-Cida's territory, the three bugs go into Zoster's Mothership where they finally found Trantsform being held captive with the other Bug Scientists. The trio defeated Zoster on top of the ship, but he manages to locate the Gold Locust Heart at the Locust Temple, so he and his last remaining Cy-Cidas fly off to the temple and break the Shadow Mosquito's free from their prison. Tak, Zac and Antstein go after Zoster at the temple, where the 3 fought their way through Cy-Cidas who are mutated by the Shadow Mosquito energy until they got to the top of the tower where Zoster is at.
Zoster then attacks the trio with a giant Cy-Cida powered by Shadow Mosquito, and he sucks Tak and Zac inside it's head with Antstein fighting it. While Antstein fights the huge Cy-Cida, Tak and Zac fight Zoster who fuses himself into the Cy-Cida's brain, turning him into an entity. Antstein manages to weaken the giant Cy-Cida while Tak and Zac defeated the mutated Zoster. Before dying, Zoster self destructs in his final moment to destroy Tak and Zac, destroying the giant Cy-Cida and himself. Afterwords the Shadow Mosquito's return to their prison with the Cy-Bugs destroyed.
With all the Cy-Cidas destroyed and Zoster gone, the three heroes go back to the Big Village with all their friends cheering for them.

Got it on sale. My 2 year old loves it... he gets to create everything is set up for him. I love the little light and it has plenty of storage.
I was very disappointed in this desk, was very bulky as stated below which made it hard to fit in the play room.
The concept is cute.. But bulky items like this I've seen go to waste, kids out grow them too fast
If your kids love to draw they will enjoy having a special desk to create their masterpieces. There are compartments to store all of their supplies to keep everything at arms length and tidy. It's a great gift for your budding artist.

For the first time in 25 years a fomer SAS man tells of the Falklands tragedy that killed 20
By MARK NICOL
Last updated at 14:41 09 February 2016
Twenty members of the elite unit were killed when their Sea King helicopter lost power and plunged into the freezing South Atlantic after a freak collision with an albatross.
Mick Williams, who is still haunted by the horrific events of May 19, 1982, told how the helicopter dropped from a low altitude and then filled with water as its windows smashed on impact with the sea.
Scroll down for more
In the ensuing chaos, most of the passengers drowned but the survivors fought each other as they tried to reach a tiny pocket of air - and then escape through one of the helicopter's hatches. It is that desperate scramble for life which has left Mick - just 21 at the time of the crash - riven with guilt that he survived while his colleagues, and friends, perished.
Mick, who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and is a virtual recluse, said: "We were due to cross-deck from HMS Hermes to HMS Intrepid. I remember how still the water was before we took off and how many of us there were on the Sea King.
"I sat down, with my back to a porthole, but my arms were so tight against my sides I couldn't put my seatbelt on.
"The engine struggled with the additional weight - it seemed as likely to drill a hole in the ship as to take off. As we climbed, I became drowsy.
"I didn't hear the bird get sucked into the engine. Instead, I woke when the helicopter hit the water. The Sea King had already tilted on its side and I was at the bottom of a heap of bodies. I had been thrown backwards and swallowed mouthfuls of water.
"It was strangely calm and surreal in this cocoon of blackness and muffled sound. Then everyone's survival instinct kicked in. Men who had been SAS soldiers together for years fought each other, desperately trying to reach a tiny air pocket.
"Guys were standing on top of me, their boots digging into my chest. So I pulled them down, grappled with them, my best mates, guys I loved, we all wanted to live. If I had died maybe some of them would have lived.
"I think about little else. My life since the accident has been consumed by this dilemma of conscience.
"I don't know how I pulled myself out of the Sea King. My next memory is when I bobbed up on to the surface. My fingers, arms and legs were numb. I couldn't inflate my lifejacket. Then other people started appearing. Their cries for help echoed across the bay.
"We swam together and clung to each other. There was a group of about seven of us. We shouted out other people's names but there was no reply.
"I remember this guy next to me saying he wanted to sleep. He and I knew if he went to sleep he would never wake up."
Too numb to feel pain, Mick was unaware of his punctured lung and shattered ribs. Then the helicopter pilot swam over to him.
Mick, 46, who lives in Hereford where the SAS is based, said: "We screamed at the pilot to light his flare. He kept dropping it in the water because his fingers were so numb. Thank God it was on a piece of string. We cursed him again when he swam off. We didn't know he had seen a life raft and he left us to swim towards it.
"The guy next to me was now floating face down in the water. Knowing he was dead, I held on to his body to keep myself upright. I wish I could erase that memory but I know I never will."
After what seemed an eternity, a boat from HMS Brilliant arrived to haul Mick and the remaining survivors aboard.
Mick added: "The medics put me under a mountain of blankets and gave me morphine. I shouted people's names, guys who had gone down with the helicopter. Then I began to feel this overwhelming sense of guilt that I had survived and my best friends Mick and Paul had not. I did not feel I deserved to live.
"We all fought each other underwater but by living I condemned others to death. That is the way I still look at it, even now, 25 years on.
"Of my little group of five mates from G Troop, I was the only one who survived."
Mick was put on indefinite leave for six months immediately after the Falklands War. Flashbacks and nightmares were regular occurrences when he returned to operational duties.
He served in the SAS until 1988 and was diagnosed with PTSD two years later.
Mick, a married father of one who has spent periods of up to nine months in residential care, added: "PTSD is not the same as mental illness. It is a perfectly normal response to an abnormal, life-threatening incident.
"I have difficulty allowing people to get close to me because I always fear I will lose them."

On Friday the 5-11, 185 cornerback from Lincoln High School told Inside the Auburn Tigers he will sign with Auburn in February. On Wednesday the Tigers added two high school seniors and two junior college sophomores as early signees to join the team in 2010 in what has been a busy week for Auburn recruiting.
Ryan White
A standout quarterback and defensive back at Lincoln High, he is projected to play cornerback at Auburn.
"I really like the coaches and the Auburn program," he said. "My visit to watch the practice was a really good one. I liked it a lot and so did my father who came with me."
White said he is also excited about playing at a program with Auburn's tradition and in the SEC where his father, defensive back Will White, was a standout perforer as a Florida Gator. He says he picked the Tigers from "15 or 16 offers."
A two-sport athlete, White runs the 100 and 200 meters in track and is also on the 4x100 relay at Lincoln. He says his best time as a junior in the 100 meters was 10.9 seconds.
White spent most of his time as a senior on the field at quarterback. "I played defense, too, in the state playoffs because we had some young guys in the secondary," he says. "I played cornerback situationally and would cover the other team's best receiver."
White led Lincoln to the third round of the state playoffs at quarterback. He would also play defense in key situations for his team.
The Trojans defeated Ed White High School of Jacksonville in the opening round 36-21 and defeated Columbia of Lake City 20-14 the following week. In round three Lincoln fell 35-21 to Niceville.
White noted that he is interested in studying in business marketing in college and says he is taking some honors classes.

Ο ΟΟΣΑ, σε συνεργασία με την Ελλάδα και την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή, αναπτύσσουν από κοινού δράσεις με σκοπό την εφαρμογή του ΕΣΔΚΔ. Αυτό το πρόγραμμα αναπτύσσεται από τον ΟΟΣΑ από τον Οκτώβριο 2016 έως και το Δεκέμβριο του 2017.
The OECD, together with Greece and the European Commission, have developed support activities for implementing Greece's National Anti-Corruption Action Plan. This project is being deployed by the OECD from October 2016 to December 2017.
The OECD and the Greek Government, with the support of the European Commission, today launched a collaboration project to strengthen Greece's action plan to fight corruption.
Responsible business conduct (RBC) is recognised as an important part of the investment climate and is increasingly integrated within public policies aimed at attracting better investment and enhancing sustainable development.
17 September 2016, Washington DC - This event brought together legal practitioners and experts to focus on how international standards on responsible business conduct are impacting legal practice as well as how legal tools can be used to strengthen ethical business practices throughout global supply chains.
Countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia have introduced important anti-corruption reforms in recent years. However, corruption in the region remains high. This report identifies progress achieved as well as challenges which require further action by countries.
English, PDF, 3,134kb
This study explores what governments, business associations, NGOs, and companies do in order to strengthen business integrity with a particular focus on anti-corruption measures in and for the private sector in countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, as well as in selected other countries.
One case of transnational corruption out of five occurs in the extractive sector according to the 2014 OECD Foreign Bribery Report. In this area, corruption has become increasingly complex and sophisticated affecting each stage of the extractive value chain with potential huge revenue losses for the public coffers. This report is intended to help policy makers, law enforcement officials and stakeholders strengthen prevention efforts at both the public and private levels, through improved understanding and enhanced awareness of corruption risk and mechanisms. It will help better tailoring responses to evolving corruption patterns and effectively countering adaptive strategies. The report also offers options to put a cost on corruption to make it less attractive at both the public and private levels.
The OECD welcomes the laws of the National Anti-corruption System that were approved by the Parliament on June 16, 2016 and enacted on July 18, 2016, clearing the way for one of the key pillars of Mexico's structural reform agenda. The promulgation of these laws substantially transforms the anti-corruption architecture of Mexico by putting in place measures that the OECD considers effective.

Motion dazzle and camouflage as distinct anti-predator defenses
Camouflage patterns that hinder detection and/or recognition by antagonists are widely studied in both human and animal contexts. Patterns of contrasting stripes that purportedly degrade an observer's ability to judge the speed and direction of moving prey ('motion dazzle') are, however, rarely investigated. This is despite motion dazzle having been fundamental to the appearance of warships in both world wars and often postulated as the selective agent leading to repeated patterns on many animals (such as zebra and many fish, snake, and invertebrate species). Such patterns often appear conspicuous, suggesting that protection while moving by motion dazzle might impair camouflage when stationary. However, the relationship between motion dazzle and camouflage is unclear because disruptive camouflage relies on high-contrast markings. In this study, we used a computer game with human subjects detecting and capturing either moving or stationary targets with different patterns, in order to provide the first empirical exploration of the interaction of these two protective coloration mechanisms.
Moving targets with stripes were caught significantly less often and missed more often than targets with camouflage patterns. However, when stationary, targets with camouflage markings were captured less often and caused more false detections than those with striped patterns, which were readily detected.
Our study provides the clearest evidence to date that some patterns inhibit the capture of moving targets, but that camouflage and motion dazzle are not complementary strategies. Therefore, the specific coloration that evolves in animals will depend on how the life history and ontogeny of each species influence the trade-off between the costs and benefits of motion dazzle and camouflage.
Across the animal kingdom, risk of predation has led to the evolution of anti-predator defenses. Of these, defensive coloration (including camouflage, startle displays, warning signals, and mimicry) is widespread
First, it remains controversial whether some animal markings can inhibit the predator's judgment of the speed and trajectory of a moving prey animal and thus inhibit capture, a phenomenon termed 'motion dazzle'
Second, we currently have little understanding of how different types of anti-predator coloration relate to each other
In this paper, we present experiments using human subjects attempting to capture artificial computer 'prey' (as in our previous study
The role of pattern in motion dazzle
Experiment 1 tested how capture success of moving targets was influenced by pattern type (Figure
Figure 1
Stimuli used in experiments 1 and 2, and results
Stimuli used in experiments 1 and 2, and results. Top panels: stimuli and an example background used in experiment 1 and 2. Target types had: black and white stripes (S), interval stripes of gray, white, and black (IS), uniform camouflage gray (G), uniform conspicuous white (W), background matching (B), and disruptive (D) coloration (see main text for details). All target types except W have the same average luminance as the background. Middle and lower panels: the mean number (plus 95% confidence interval (CI)) of successful captures (left panels) and missed attempts (right panels) of the different target types in experiment 1 (moving targets), and medians (plus interquartile range (IQR)) for experiment 2 (stationary targets).
For all experiments, we recorded the number of prey items of a given type captured per minute ('hits'), and the number of times that a subject attempted to capture a moving target but missed in their attack and touched the background part of the screen instead ('misses'; see Methods). Participants were presented with six one-minute trials, one for each prey type (with presentation order balanced across all subjects; see Methods).
For experiment 1, capture success (hits) data showed that there was a significant effect of treatment (that is, of prey type:
Unlike our previous study
The role of pattern in preventing detection and capture when stationary
Experiment 2 tested the ability of participants to detect (and therefore capture) stationary prey of the same treatments used in experiment 1. In this experiment (and experiment 4) capture success (hits) corresponded to when a subject successfully located and touched the target. The misses (or false detections) data corresponded to when a person misidentified part of the screen as a target when the target was in fact elsewhere, and consequently they touched the wrong location on the screen. Therefore, in the stationary experiments, the results correspond more to signal-detection theory, where subjects can correctly detect and attack a target; not detect a target; or erroneously 'detect' a target and attack part of the background. We predicted that the camouflage (background matching and disruptive) targets would have low capture rates, whereas the conspicuous white targets would be detected easily. The uniform gray target might have intermediate protection, because it matched the overall luminance of the background, but lacked the background patterns. The regular high-contrast patterns of the striped prey might either make them conspicuous, or act in disruptive camouflage.
There was a significant effect of treatment on capture (detection) success (S(5) = 86.87,
There was a significant difference between the treatments for the number of times targets were missed (S(5) = 17.16,
The role of pattern contrast in motion dazzle
Experiment 3 tested the effect of pattern contrast on motion dazzle. In addition to the uniform gray (G) and white (W) targets used in experiments 1 and 2, we used targets that had striped (banded) markings of either high contrast (black and white stripes; HS) or low contrast (intermediate gray stripes; LS) and camouflage markings of high or low contrast that were either disruptive (HD and LD) or background matching (HB and LB) patterns (see Figure
Figure 2
Stimuli used in experiments 3 and 4 and results

Target types are: uniform camouflage gray (G), uniform conspicuous white (W), high-contrast black and white striped (HS), low-contrast gray striped (LS), high-contrast background matching (HB), low-contrast background matching (LB), high-contrast disruptive (HD), and low-contrast disruptive (LD) patterns (see main text for details). All target types except W have the same average luminance as the background. Middle and lower panels: the mean number (plus 95% confidence interval (CI)) of successful captures (left panels) and missed attempts (right panels) of the different target types in experiment 3 (moving targets) and experiment 4 (stationary targets).
For capture success there was a significant effect of treatment (
For the number of missed attempts, there was also a significant effect of treatment (
The role of contrast in concealment
The final experiment tested the relative advantages of contrast and pattern type on the same treatments as used in experiment 3, but when stationary. We predicted that the camouflaged targets would be captured (detected) less often than the uniform targets, and that the uniform gray target should have a lower capture risk than the white and striped targets. Based on previous work
For capture success, there was a significant effect of treatment (
For misses (false detections), there was a significant effect of treatment (
In this study, we found that moving prey with striped markings were captured less often than targets with either camouflage patterns or uniform conspicuous white targets. Therefore, specific pattern arrangements do promote motion dazzle, making the speed and trajectory of moving targets difficult to judge accurately. Although in experiment 3 there was no difference in mean capture rate between the camouflaged and striped targets, the striped prey were missed significantly more often than the camouflaged targets. This indicates that participants found striped prey more difficult to capture, and made more misdirected attacks. Thus, in both experiments 1 and 3, there was clear evidence that striped targets induce motion dazzle. However, as in our previous study
Targets were more effective at preventing capture when of low contrast. This is consistent with studies of cuttlefish markings
While our experiments show that motion dazzle can effectively prevent capture, the mechanisms underlying how motion dazzle works are unclear, although a range of possibilities exist
In the experiments in which targets were stationary, those with camouflaged markings were captured least often. By contrast, the striped prey was caught often (only the conspicuous white targets were captured more frequently). Thus, although striped markings are highly effective in reducing capture when moving, they are costly when stationary. By contrast, camouflage patterns are ineffective at reducing capture during movement, but provide strong protection when stationary. Our study indicates that those markings that are effective in motion dazzle are not effective in camouflage, and
Our results provide evidence that prey can obtain protection from predators through using aspects of their appearance confusing predators' estimation of prey trajectory (motion dazzle), and that such protection can come at a cost of reduction in crypsis when the prey is stationary. Our results also suggest that the range of appearance types capable of showing such effects may extend beyond the repeated contrasting stripes previously considered. Specifically, we found that uniform gray prey had similar properties to striped prey with regard to protection when moving but vulnerability when still. This has potential implications both for our expectation of the importance of motion dazzle in the natural world, and for understanding the sensory and cognitive mechanisms that might underlie it. It would be useful to explore the generality of this result with respect to background complexity, prey shape and movement behaviors. We also note, as above, that there may be a range of selection pressures on prey appearance (for example, warning signals, sexual selection), making uniform coloration in nature relatively uncommon. Our results show that when animals are under selection for patterned appearance, certain arrangements of markings can be especially important in motion dazzle.
We found no difference between background matching or disruptive patterns for prey, either when moving or stationary. This may have been because the background and prey were comprised of discrete blotches, rather than of more continuous patches of color, brightness and pattern, under which circumstances clear survival advantages of disruptive prey have been shown previously
In this study, the effect size for appearance on predation risk of moving prey was generally less than the analogous effect size for stationary prey. It is well known that crypsis is a highly effective mechanism to avoid predation. However, crypsis can impose various restrictions and opportunity costs on animals, including being limited to one or a few background types, and restrictions on movement that is known to facilitate detection of cryptic prey that would otherwise be hard to detect when stationary. This means that for many species, crypsis is not an effective strategy. Animals that are bright and conspicuous, such as those with visual warning or sexual signals, often cannot rely on crypsis. In such cases, the benefits of motion dazzle may be greatest. In addition, the effect of motion dazzle may be substantially enhanced if prey respond to detecting a predator by fleeing; even if they do not move around much ordinarily, motion dazzle may still be important if predators generally see them in motion rather than when stationary. However, a full evaluation of the relative selection pressures on crypsis and motion dazzle requires consideration of how frequently prey are in motion when in close proximity to hunting predators. This is likely to be quite variable between species, and even between sexes or age classes within a species.
Our aim in this paper has been to provide a first test of the hypothesis of conflict between motion dazzle while a target is moving and crypsis when that target is stationary. We have achieved such a 'proof of concept', and found that the potential for such conflict does exist. As such, we consider that further work into this question is justified. We see two distinct but connected routes to further progress. First, it is now important to explore the biological importance of the trade-off between motion dazzle and concealment. We used human participants in this study for convenience, for ethical reasons, and because of the considerable effect that the concept of dazzle has had on naval camouflage. A first step to exploring generality across species might involve a similar experimental set-up to that used here but with non-human predators: birds can readily be trained to peck at targets on a computer screen and this has been used effectively to explore questions in adaptive coloration
Second, now that we have shown that conflict can occur, it would be valuable to adopt existing methods in experimental psychology to explore the underlying mechanisms in terms of predator sensory and cognitive systems. Our experiments were not in the form of a 'pure' psychophysical experimental design, but rather were intended to reflect a more natural prey-capture task. Both approaches have their merits, and more conventional psychophysical experiments will be useful to test the ideas and results presented here. Our results for the trials with moving targets are consistent with those of other recent psychophysical work investigating military-style dazzle camouflage, in which humans were presented with a binary choice task involving stimuli of two pattern types, and asked to specify which of the two stimuli appeared to move more quickly
The idea that animals can combine multiple types of protective coloration is widespread, but empirical investigation is lacking. Our study shows that animals may face trade-offs between the type of color patterns they have, and the functions of those markings. It may often not be possible to combine multiple functions with the same pattern, and the likelihood of this may be strongly dependent upon the circumstances. In general, the defensive strategy that animals use may be strongly linked to their life history, developmental stage, and habitat. For example, highly mobile and active animals found in open environments may benefit more from motion-dazzle markings, whereas animals that rest during the day and are found on a limited number of backgrounds may do best by being camouflaged.
We produced a computer game created using Scratch software (2009, version 1.4;
In the game, the prey changed direction unpredictably between 1° and 3° clockwise during movement, and bounced back from the edges of the background with the addition of a 45° anticlockwise turn (that is, the 45° change was in addition to the normal effect of bouncing back off the screen edge, to make the target trajectory less predictable). After successful capture the prey disappeared, and after a delay of 0.5 seconds, reappeared in a random position on the screen. The patterns on the prey rotated as the main body of the target rotated. For example, the striped patterns were always perpendicular to the direction of movement, irrespective of which direction the target was actually travelling.
In experiments 2 and 4 prey were stationary, and the task was to find and then capture a prey item. Once a target was caught, a uniform gray background appeared for 0.5 seconds, before the experimental background reappeared with a new prey target in a random location. This was essential because if the prey item simply reappeared in a new location after capture, its reappearance would reveal its new location. For all experiments, within a single trial, participants had to capture as many prey targets of the same type as possible within one minute. This was repeated for each type of prey target (treatment). Treatment order was balanced in all experiments so that each treatment appeared an equal number of times in each order. We recorded the number of prey items captured, where a subject managed to touch the point on the screen at which the moving prey item was located at that time. We also recorded the number of missed attempts. Missed attempts in the moving-prey trials were the times when subjects saw the target but misdirected their attacks and touched the background part of the screen instead of the prey item. In the stationary prey trials, the subjects incorrectly touched the screen where they thought the target was located, but it was in fact elsewhere (false detection). Note that we did not expect that misses and hits should be inversely related, because several factors can affect this relationship; for example, a subject may concentrate more on capturing a target that seems to be moving faster, and make fewer capture attempts (and thus also fewer misses).
Prey targets and backgrounds were achromatic (shades of gray) created using Photoshop Elements (version 7.0; Adobe Systems Inc., East Oldsmar, FL, USA) as high-resolution, low-compression JPEG files. In all experiments, targets were 2 cm wide and 0.9 cm tall (3.11° and 1.12° visual angle subtended on the viewer's eye). Targets were presented against patterned artificial backgrounds comprising black, white and gray markings on a uniform gray. Several versions of the backgrounds were used in each experiment (six in experiments 1 and 2, and eight in experiments 3 and 4; for all backgrounds used see Additional file

In all experiments, participants (166 in total: 60 in experiment 1, 18 in experiment 2, 64 in experiment 3, and 24 in experiment 4) were volunteers naïve to the experimental aims, and were predominantly undergraduate students with normal vision or corrected-to-normal vision. We gave participants only the information needed to undertake the trials. No subject participated more often than once across all experiments. All participants carried out a one-minute practice trial before the main experiment, in which they had to capture a uniform black prey item against a white background. Neither this background or prey target was used in any of the main experiments.
Statistical analyses
The statistical approach has been described previously
Experiment 1: The role of pattern arrangement in motion dazzle
We used six prey types: a uniform gray (G) target matching the average background luminance; a conspicuous uniform white (W) target; a target with perpendicular black (3 mm wide) and white (2 mm wide) alternating stripes (S); a target with pairs of 3 mm black and 1.2 mm white stripes separated by interval gray stripes of 4 mm (IS); a camouflaged background matching target (B), consisting of a random sample of the background with the stipulation that no markings touched the target edge; and a camouflaged disruptive prey type (D), comprising samples of the background with at least some patterns located on the target edge (Figure
The results were analyzed with a GLM. We included the uniform white prey item in the overall treatment test because there was no prior reason to believe that this should be treated differently from the other conspicuously-marked treatments. In any case, we focused specifically on planned comparisons between individual prey types rather than on omnibus comparisons across all treatments in our interpretation of results. For the data on misses, we had to transform the data to the power of 0.06, calculated using a Box-Cox procedure (we found a Box-Cox transformation produced the most effective transformation in this case). For our planned comparisons, we compared (i) white versus the aggregate of all other prey types, (ii) gray versus the aggregate of all patterned prey types, (iii) dazzle prey (stripes and interval stripes) versus the camouflage prey (background matching and disruptive coloration), (iv) striped versus interval stripes, and (v) background matching versus disruptive coloration.
Experiment 2: The role of pattern arrangement in preventing detection and capture when stationary
Experiment 2 comprised the same treatments as in experiment 1, but the targets were stationary. Our aim was to test whether, when stationary, the camouflaged-prey targets would be harder to detect (and therefore capture) than either the dazzle or uniform targets.
The main results and
Experiment 3: The role of pattern contrast in motion dazzle
In experiment 3, there were eight treatments: a uniform white (W) target; a uniform gray (G) target; background matching targets with either low-contrast (LB) light and dark gray spots, or high-contrast (HB) with black and white spots; disruptive targets of either high (HD) or low (LD) contrast; and striped prey with markings of either high (HS) or low (LS) contrast. In ensuring both types of patterned prey had the same average luminance, we slightly modified the width of the stripes in the low-contrast striped prey (2 mm light-gray and 2 mm dark gray stripes). The backgrounds comprised an average intermediate gray, plus white, black, light-gray, and dark-gray spots in approximately equal proportion.
Results for both captures and misses were analyzed with GLMs. Planned comparisons were: (i) white versus the aggregate of all prey types, (ii) gray versus the aggregate of all patterned prey types, (iii) the aggregate of the low-contrast patterned prey versus the aggregate of the high-contrast prey, (iv) low-contrast stripes versus high-contrast stripes, (v) low-contrast camouflaged disruptive and background matching versus high-contrast camouflaged prey, (vi) striped versus camouflage prey, and (vii) background matching versus disruptive.
Experiment 4: The role of contrast in concealment
The design of experiment 4 and treatments followed that of experiment 3, but with stationary targets. Results were analyzed with GLMs, with data for the number of misses being square root transformed. There was a single prominent outlier in this data even after transformation. However, rerunning the analysis with this outlier excluded did not change the results (the effect of prey type became more significant without the outlier included). We conducted the following planned comparisons: (i) white versus the striped prey, (ii) stripes versus the gray target, (iii) gray versus the camouflage targets, (iv) high versus low-contrast prey, (v) disruptive versus background matching, (vi) high versus low-contrast stripes, and (vii) high versus low-contrast disruptive prey.

Conservation's Friends in High Places: Neoliberalism, Networks, and the Transnational Conservation Elite
November, 2011
The Nature Conservancy's "Nature Matters" Gala, hosted in NYC on June 2, 2014 honored Disney and The Butler Conservation Fund as leaders in conservation. Photographed: Kevin Callahan (Disney), Beth Stevens (Disney), Mark Tercek (TNC), Gil Bulter (Butler Capital Corp.), Jay Rasulo (Disney), Dan Harris (Disney-ABC News)
The paper Conservation's Friends in High Places:Neoliberalism, Networks, and the Transnational Conservation Elite authored by George Holmes "explores the different parts of the transnational conservation elite—NGOs, the state, corporations, intellectuals, and the media—focusing on the interactions among them. A series of vignettes showing the elite in action briefly illustrates the arguments, showing how the elite functions and how money, influence, and ideas are mobilized."
"Fifteen of the twenty-six board members at The Nature Conservancy are or have been directors of large transnational corporations, as have twenty-six of thirty-six board members at CI and thirteen of twenty-one at WWF-US. In all cases, directors with a corporate management background have displaced and now greatly outnumber those with biological training or other "technical" backgrounds. In addition, these NGOs each have a business council, made exclusively from corporate directors, to advise the board of directors."

I am positioned halfway between the humanities and biological literatures on this subject – I am more interested in the politics of how people try to do conservation in the anthropocene, and what the implications of this are."]

Coriander Chicken With Tomato Corn Salad
Recipe by appleydapply
An easy, healthy, and delicious recipe from Cooking Light.
Top Review by mersaydees
Fantastic and quick one-dish meal. I placed mine on a bed of spring-mix greens, although I had some diners who did not. The spice rub really makes this chicken flavorful. I had to make a second batch of the spice rub due to the large size of my chicken breasts. Also, to ensure thoroughly cooking the inside, I placed a lid over the breasts during cooking. Thanks, appleydapply, for a great recipe! Made for TYM Tag Game.

A thin neck delivers faster feel.
The Jeff Ausdemore autograph snare sticks have a "fast" feel, due to the thin neck which bodes well for quick response in either single stokes or multiple bounce rudiments. The DC18i indoor snare drum stick also has all of the characteristics of the DC8, without the volume or weight. This lighter stick has the same clear articulation as the heavier model, and the smaller diameter shaft allows for younger students to easily produce a full sound while continuing to build technique.
- 16"-13/16"L x .680"D
Ideal for student percussionists.

Comments about PROMARK Jeff Ausdemore Signature Indoor Marching Drumsticks:
Love using these sticks but the actual durability is something all consumers need to be aware of. These are indoor sticks not your run of the mill DC50's that can take a bullet and still be able to do a roll. As long as you tap them up it'll be fine but they are durable as could be with out. Also they serve a nice application in smaller marching bands even with it being a heavier marching stick than most are known to use. Great sticks but don't beat them up.

Natural selection states simply that the frequency of inherited traits that help an organism to survive tend to increase over the generations in a population. Similarly the frequencies of inherited traits that reduce the probability of an organism surviving tend to reduce over the generations. This is a tautology and inevitably true. Natural selection can happen in any situation where something reproduces and passes on its traits. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace developed this idea independently. Natural selection affects the genes of living organisms.
Over time natural selection causes populations to differentiate as they adapt to new environments. Gradually new subspecies and new species are formed. This is known as the Theory of Evolution by natural selection.
In a slightly different way natural selection also affects Memes, which are ideas that people copy and pass on to other people - or more correctly ideas which cause people to copy them and pass on.

The Empire Strikes Back
A few notes before we get to the articles:
Syracuse wasn't sued. That doesn't mean that they can't yet be sued, it just means that they weren't sued. Putting the legal stuff to the side, I have the suspicion that there is something behind this omission other than just lawyering. Perhaps the reasoning is, "Miami is a southern school, they are going to go anyway, so what can we do? Boston College has made so many enemies in the Big East over the way that they have handled this that we don't want them back anyway. However, if we can bring Syracuse back into the fold, there is enough talent left in the league to rebuild."
I don't have any inside info to prove that the above was the motivation for not naming Syracuse as a defendant, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
UM is a southern school who would eventually leave anyway. If it doesn't happen this year, it eventually will.
People I have talked to are absolutely furious at the way Boston College and its fans have handled this. The Eagles have burned their bridges behind them. If the ACC deal doesn't work out, my guess is that BC would be asked to leave the Big East by the remaining schools. Many Big East fans would say, "good riddance."
During this time only Syracuse has behaved like a school truly torn by the decision. The five remaining schools plus Syracuse are enough of a foundation to build on. I wouldn't be surprised if the omission of Syracuse from the complaint was based on more than considerations of evidentiary support for the allegations in the pleadings. There could be a strategic move in all of this to salvage the Orangemen and rebuild the conference without Miami and without BC.
Now the articles:
University of Connecticut ("Connecticut"), University of Pittsburgh of the
Commonwealth System of Higher Education ("Pittsburgh"), Rutgers, the State
University of New Jersey ("Rutgers"), Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State
University ("Virginia Tech"), and West Virginia University ("West Virginia")
(collectively, "Plaintiffs"), by their undersigned counsel, hereby file this
Complaint for Monetary Damages and Injunctive Relief against the above-named
Defendants. Plaintiffs allege upon knowledge with respect to themselves and
their own acts, and upon information and belief with respect to all other
matters, as follows:
The press release issued by the schools is as follows:
Today five football playing schools of the Big East Conference filed suit in Connecticut State Court to protect the Big East from the irreparable harm caused by the self-serving, secret dealings of the University of Miami, Boston College and the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Big East
universities filed their suit as a last resort to protect the academic and
athletic programs placed in profound jeopardy because Miami, B.C. and the ACC
have put their own economic self-interest before the broader public interests
served by the Big East universities. The suit asserts that Miami and Boston
College, secretly and in collusion with the ACC and its member schools, violated
their legal obligations and fiduciary duties to their partners, the universities
of the Big East. Moreover, the suit alleges that Miami and B.C. – while
repeatedly reassuring the public that they were firmly committed to the Big East
– were at the very same time actively and secretly planning their defection to
the ACC. The suit seeks hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and to
prevent Miami and Boston College from defecting to the ACC.
Press Release
Five Big East schools sued Friday to try to prevent Miami and Boston College from jumping to the Atlantic Coast Conference, accusing them of secretly taking part in an expansion plan that could ruin the Big East.
The lawsuit, filed in state Superior Court in Hartford, Conn., says Miami and Boston College professed loyalty to their conference while concocting a "deliberate scheme to destroy the Big East and abscond with the collective value of all that has been invested and created in the Big East."
Big East schools
went ahead with expensive renovations and upgrades under the assumption they
would be part of a healthy conference for years to come, the lawsuit
SportingNews.com - College Football : Big East sues to prevent ACC expansion
in state Superior Court in Hartford, Conn., says Miami and Boston College
professed loyalty to their conference while concocting a "deliberate scheme to
destroy the Big East and abscond with the collective value of all that has been
invested and created in the Big East."
Big East schools went ahead with expensive renovations and upgrades under the assumption they would be part of a healthy conference for years to come, the lawsuit contends.
The Big East could lose millions of dollars in revenue from the lucrative Bowl Championship Series and from TV deals, the lawsuit says. The nine-team ACC has promised football power Miami increased revenue from a more lucrative TV deal it believes it could negotiate as a 12-team conference.
5 schools sue to stop ACC expansion
"This lawsuit
reveals a backroom conspiracy, born in secret, founded on greed, and carried out
through calculated deceit. The story is a sad chapter in the history of college
sports - a shameful example for students and athletes as well as academic
institutions across the country," said Attorney General Blumenthal. "Our legal
action seeks to stop ongoing fraud and other illegal misconduct and recover
millions of dollars that may be lost as a result of repeated false and
misleading statements - reassurances that these schools were committed to the
Big East, while they were secretly negotiating to defect and break their
agreements. Their assurances and promises were explicit and unequivocal, made
with clear knowledge that we would rely on them. The ACC must be held
accountable as well for secretly approaching the defecting schools and inducing
them to break their contracts."
Connecticut Attorney General's Office Home Page
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said the state has
"absolutely rock solid evidence" to support claims that there was a conspiracy
to make misleading statements.
"Fraud is not to strong a word to describe what has happened here," he said. "This lawsuit reveals a back-room conspiracy, born in secret, founded on greed, and carried out through calculated deceit. "It is a sad chapter in the history of college athletics - it's a reprehensible shameful example for athletes and students as well as academic institutions across the country."

Anyone that tries to tell you that a global financial crisis is not happening is not being honest with you. Right now, there are 27 major global stock markets that have declined by double digit percentages from their peaks earlier this year. And this is truly a global phenomenon – we have seen stock market crashes in Asia, Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East. But because U.S. stocks are only down less than a thousand points from the peak earlier this year, most Americans seem to think that everything is just fine.
The truth, of course, is that everything is not fine. We are witnessing a pattern similar to what we saw back in 2008. Back then, Chinese stocks and other major stock markets started crashing first, and then U.S. stocks followed later.
And it appears that we may have entered the next leg down for markets in the western world this week. The Dow was down another 252 points on Thursday, and all of the major stock indexes in the U.S. are now negative for the year except for the NASDAQ. Unless there is a major turnaround in the coming weeks, the six year winning streak for U.S. stocks is likely over.
But when you step back and look at what has been happening globally, a much more ominous picture emerges. I spent much of the afternoon looking at stock market charts for the largest economies all over the globe. What I discovered was financial carnage that was much worse than I anticipated.
It turns out that there are 27 major global stock markets that have fallen by more than 10 percent from peaks that were set earlier this year. If you want to verify this information for yourself, just go to Trading Economics. As you can see, many of these stock market declines have been quite impressive…
1. China: down more than 30 percent
2. Saudi Arabia: down 26 percent
3. Germany: down about 13 percent
4. United Kingdom: down close to 12 percent
5. Spain: down 15 percent
6. Brazil: down more than 22 percent (13,000 points overall)
7. Malaysia: down 17 percent
8. Turkey: down 16 percent
9. India: down close to 12 percent
10. Chile: down 11 percent
11. Columbia: down about 30 percent
12. Peru: down more than 40 percent
13. Bulgaria: down more than 20 percent
14. Greece: down more than 30 percent
15. Poland: down about 19 percent
16. Malaysia: down 10 percent
17. Egypt: down 32 percent
18. Indonesia: down 18 percent
19. Canada: down 12 percent
20. Ukraine: down 45 percent
21. Morocco: down 13 percent
22. Ghana: down 17 percent
23. Kenya: down 27 percent
24. Australia: down 13 percent
25. Nigeria: down more than 30 percent
26. Taiwan: down 15 percent
27. Thailand: down 20 percent
We have not seen numbers…

Richard II
by Jacob Abbott
The first several chapters of Richard II recap the turbulent reigns of the previous Plantagenet kings including John Lackland and the three Edwards. Several chapters are then dedicated to the Black Prince, Richard's father, who achieved great fame at the battles of Crecy and Poitiers. The reign of Richard II was most notable for the Wat Tyler rebellion and the fact of that he was eventually deposed.

Reports are reaching us that Samsung is moving away from the Symbian and Microsoft Windows Mobile operating systems in favour if its own, Linux-based operating system, which has now been revealed as bada, plus Android.
The news follows the emergence of the company's own operating system. According to HMC Investment Securities, Samsung plans to completely stop making mobile phones that support the Symbian OS by the end of next year - a surprise, as the company is a founder member of the Symbian Foundation (a non-profit organisation that supervises the OS) . In the meantime, the amount of mobiles that will be running Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS will be down by 20%.
On the flip side, the third party OS with the largest representation, Android, will form around 30% of the company's total output. Expect to see "several" devices feature the bada OS, according to the Cellphones website.

Okay it's been said time and time again that you need a nude neutral heel and I am in agreement. The catch is that you must update, we are seeing the wedge is still in but the platform is is taking a breather and coming a bit down to earth. These are totally reminding me of the pumps of the 80's.
I still haven't decided if I like these or not, it's a low wedge in a suede neutral it is cute but not sure if I'd actually wear it but I do see it with some casual work pants maybe they are growing on me.
Part of me says NO but then another part of me says well maybe with the right outfit but I'm not sure if I could find the right outfit because all I can think of is a Fredrick's of Hollywood catalog outfit for a skin tight floral print mini-dress and she's holding a picnic basket and some lube and the caption reads "summer scandals".
I normally try to post an OOTD but I have been very uninspired in my wardrobe as of late which means it's time for a closet revamp and since warm has been my only motivator it's not enough to keep me looking cute and picture worthy so on to the bedroom.....

A dangerous "puff of smoke"
Moyamoya disease causes major blood vessels at the base of the brain to become progressively narrower and more
blocked. To compensate for the blockages in the large blood vessels, tangles of tiny vessels form to help deliver
blood to the brain. On imaging scans, these tiny vessels appear light and wispy. This appearance led to the name
"moyamoya," which in Japanese means "puff of smoke."
People with this condition are at an ever-increasing risk of strokes or mini-strokes (TIAs). They may also have muscle
weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, or they may have seizures.
Medicine alone can't prevent the disease from progressing. Almost two-thirds of patients with Moyamoya disease
develop increasing symptoms over five years. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are very important.
Surgery can restore blood flow to the brain by opening narrowed blood vessels or by creating bypasses around
blockages. After surgery, most people experience no more strokes or related problems.
Moyamoya was first described in the 1960s. At that time, it was thought to affect mainly people of Asian heritage. It has
now been recorded in people of many ethnic backgrounds, including those of African, American and European heritage.
Moyamoya is seen most commonly in children, but it can also occur in adults in their mid-40s. Females have it nearly
twice as often as males. The condition tends to run in families.
People affected by Moyamoya disease may experience these symptoms:
