It was hard to avoid the feeling, watching as Chinese President Hu Jintao stood beside his American counterpart at the White House on Wednesday and used the occasion to engage in the subtlest form of rhetorical sparring, that the leaders of the world's two largest national economies are becoming equals.
Not only are the two countries becoming more similar in their international ambitions, it appears, but their citizens are drawing closer as Americans and many other Westerners watch their incomes stagnate while their Chinese neighbours burst forth into full-fledged consumerdom.
A number of observers are beginning to call this a "great convergence," a reversal of the "great divergence" that carried China and the West from positions of near-equal prosperity 250 years ago to extremes of wealth and poverty in the late 20th century.
Indeed, since 1950, the Chinese have seen their average incomes grow more than 10 times faster than those of U.S. citizens. In 1980, the purchasing power of the average Chinese citizen's income was the equivalent of $525 per year; it now stands somewhere between $5,000 and $6,000. Over the same period, productivity per Chinese worker rose from 3 per cent of U.S. levels to 19 per cent. And the convergence seems to be speeding up: During the past five years, as the U.S. economy has grown only 5 per cent, China's has grown by 70 per cent.
The consequences of such a shift to pan-Pacific equality would be vast. No longer would our economy be based on dirt-cheap goods from China, our debt provided by a huge Asian country struggling to dispose of enormous currency surpluses. Life would be more expensive, but also vastly better for the world's majority. And conflicts between equals are less likely.
But before we get too excited by this looming prospect, let's look hard at the realities behind this supposed convergence. Comparisons between countries are not as simple as we might think.
Luckily, we have a wonderful new book, The Haves and the Have-Nots, by economist Branko Milanovic, who has made international inequality his life's work. He shows, with devastating logic, just how far we still have to go.
When the world returned to its normal state of globalization after the angry decades of the 20th century, the result was enormous growth almost everywhere. China, starting in the 1980s, made its people wealthy enough to render starvation-level poverty non-existent.
But surprising economic circumstances have caused wealthy countries to grow at an even greater rate, Mr. Milanovic notes. The advantage has stayed with the well-off.
"If the U.S. GDP per capita grows by 1 per cent, India's will need to grow by 17 per cent, an almost impossible rate, and China's by 8.6 per cent, just to keep absolute income differences from rising," he observes. "As the saying goes, you have to run very, very fast just to stay in the same place. It is therefore not surprising that despite China's (and India's) remarkable success, the absolute income differences between the rich and poor countries have widened."
And they have: Even as the Chinese worker has gone from $525 per year to $5,000 in two decades, the average American worker has gone from $25,000 to $43,200 - meaning that the income gap has widened from about $25,000 to $38,000, and, he notes, "of course so has the absolute gap in welfare between the average American and the average Chinese."
The economic crisis, which continues in the United States but occupied only a few months of 2008 in China, might help, but it will still take a very long time before the most prosperous Chinese worker can touch the purchasing power of the worst-off American.
You may think of the United States as a place of extremes of wealth and poverty, and it is. Nevertheless, at the moment, the very poorest people in America, the 5 per cent with the lowest incomes, have better lives and more purchasing power than the top 5 per cent of income earners in India and the top 10 per cent in China.
The consequences are important: First, the forces of national inequality that drive large numbers of people to emigrate will certainly be with us for decades longer.
Second, the old theories of social class should be replaced: Today, 80 per cent of income difference is caused by geographical location, and only 20 per cent by income category; those geographic barriers may be harder to overcome than the old class barriers of the 19th century were. "We still have a long way to go," Mr. Hu said on Thursday. It may be longer than he thinks.Report Typo/Error

Is there an equivalent of a "Moneyball" for the NHL?

If you assume that all teams take the best player available (and usually that is the case) based on their career stats and physical attributes-- you get what we have today. A crapshoot after the first 6 or so picks. I guess what I'm saying is that if it were possible to improve, someone would have done it by now. It's the only time teams have access to players for free, and it remains the foundation for building teams. Maybe it's not so much the drafting, but the development. I think Detroit's success has been in finding players that fit a certain style or possess a specific set of skills, who then are developed in a very specific way.
Back to the baseball vs hockey modeling. I think you're bypassing the question. Is hockey a sport that can be modeled?
I hope this doesn't get lost, but hockey is much more a game of random events. There's simply too much going on the ice with too many variables (number of players, conditions, etc.). Baseball is somewhat static
in comparison to hockey
Fugu: Very simple--does the model draft better than most NHL teams? In science results talk and ____ walks. Either the model performs better or it doesn't.
Yes, there is a randomness in hockey. If I'm a NHL GM I'm looking at EVERYTHING that might give my organization a leg up over the competition.
If the model does better than it represents an improvement and one more piece of information. A NHL team could use it as a tie breaker if players were judged to have similar talent.

Comments about Pimsleur Portuguese (European) Level 1 Lessons 11-15 MP3:
I find the Pimsleur language programme really good- next best thing to being immersed in the language. I find sometimes towards the end of the lesson that the speaker speaks too quickly or doesn't always repeat the phrase. I think this is necessary especially if it is a long phrase.
The other thing I would find helpful and an aid to learning is if the reading lessons gave a translation of the words shown.
Service and delivery comments:
Yes very prompt.

The 20 Highest Grossing Movies Of All Time Showcase Our Diverse Taste In Film
Leafing through the highest grossing movies of all time is like entering a time capsule of the cultural cinematic zeitgeist of various decades and it truly highlights how diverse our taste in movies is as viewers. From Sci Fi epics in a galaxy far, far way to dancing quiffs and regal lions, these movies show us that almost any type of film, be it animated, action packed or musical has the potential to make it big and is a true celebration of the variety we get to drink in as cinema goers.The list below has been adjusted for inflation, because a 1977 dollar is a whole different ball game to a 2009 dollar. The gross estimates you see are based on how much the movie would have raked in if it sold as many tickets today as when it was originally released. So, get ready to load up your Netflix library to sample some of the most successful movies of all time if haven't seen them already and let the fun begin!
Director: Roland EmmerichThe Will Smith fronted Independence Day took cinemas by storm with it's dramatic tale of aliens, heroism and man kind's will to survive against a foe who is so technically advanced it makes us look like mere chimps. This patriotic epic really comes into its own with the explosive action scenes that show buildings being obliterated along with heroic men's lives in a beautifully choreographed fashion. Fun Fact: The scene where Will Smith drags an unconscious alien across the desert was filmed on salt flats in Utah and contains a memorable improvised line about the stench of the place. When Smith says "and what the hell is that smell?!" he is referring to the rank odour of millions of decaying brine shrimp merrily decomposing at the bottom of the lake. Yum!
Director: Sam RaimiThe classic superhero story of weedy nerd turned superpowered spider took the cinema by storm as Marvel fans in their drives flocked to cop a look of spidey's iconic scarlet spandex on the silver screen. Starring Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, the movies upside-down kiss scene is frequently ranked in lists of the most iconic cinematic smooches of all time and who can argue with that? Fun Fact: Hugh Jackman was supposed to have a brief cameo in the movie as Wolverine but when he rocked up to New York to shoot the scene he couldn't get his hands on the Wolverine costume from X-Men so the entire concept was put to bed.
Director: Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury and Conrad Vernon
Centring around Shrek and Princess Fiona visiting her parents for a posh dinner party to celebrate their new marriage, this comedy romp delivers the laughs as the harsh green truth that their daughter is an ogre sinks in. Eddie Murphey's turn as Donkey is just as hilarious in the first movie and Michael Myers continues to play his comic timing with all the precision of a master watch maker. Fun Fact: The talented Antonio Banderas also voices Puss in Boots in Spanish and Italian.
Director: Randal Kleiser
Whipping up an all-singing-all-dancing musical storm before High School Musical was even a glimmer in it's amorous parent's eyes, Grease comes in at number 17 on the highest grossing movies of all time list.Sure, so-called teenagers look about as school aged as Ian Somerhalder in the first season of Vampire Diaries, but who can forget the iconic costume design and even more iconic karaoke classics? It's electrifying! Fun Fact: Thanks to a popped zipper, Olivia Newton-John had to be sewn into the trousers she wears in the final carnival scene.
Director: Christopher Nolan
Featuring Heath Ledger's unforgettable final point as the manic, grease paint smeared Joke, The Dark Knight was heralded as a return to form for Bat Man and saw Christian Bale throwing himself into the role with vigour. As the caped crusader takes on one of the biggest psychological battles of his life to fight injustice, the people of Gotham are subjected to reign of terror from the erratic Joker and it's an explosive thrill ride from start to finish. Fun Fact: Heath Ledger designed the Joker make-up himself using cheap face paint and beauty products from a drugstore. His reasoning was that the Joker would have came up with his own threatening look and used whatever resources were easily available to him.
Director: Steven Spielberg
The second appearance of aliens on the highest grossing movies of all time list sees heavyweight director Steven Spielberg making his first appearance. Showing various parallel storylines unfolding along side each other, the movie revolves around a line work who feels inexplicably drawn to a remote patch of wilderness after and encounter with a U.F.O. =
Fun Fact: Steven Spielberg once said that absolutely nothing in his life has been more difficult than editing the final 25 minutes of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Director: Colin Trevorrow
The Jurassic Park crew didn't learn from their mistakes and Jurassic World sees the dinos running wild and threatening to devour more people like mere peanuts than the first time round. Fronted by the ever-popular Chris Pratt and featuring appearances from all our favorite scaly chums including the velociraptors and T-Rex, Jurassic World was box office gold on an indominus rex scale. Fun Fact: Pratt actually predicting his casting on the season 2 Parks and Recreation DVD where he reads a fake text from Steven Spielberg saying he has been cast in Jurassic Park 4. Director: Joss WhedonThe first time The Avengers assembled was box office gold for Marvel and this superhero assembly epic is the second comic book offering to make it into the highest grossing movies ranking. With typical Whedon humor and beautifully choreographed group fight scenes, this mismatched group of heroes bring the bad ass from start to finish and then wash it all down with a nice schwarma. Fun Fact: To prepare for the role of Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner was trained by Olympic archers.
Director: Robert Zemeckis
What he lacks for in intelligence, Forrest Gump makes up for in charm and accent. This epic love story sees Gump wining medals, starting a ping-pong craze, writing songs and meeting the president several times but none of this matters because all he can think of is his childhood sweetheart, Jenny. Fun Fact: Tom Hanks' younger brother Jim Hanks doubled for him in a lot of his numerous running sequences.
Director: Steven Spielberg
Spielberg's second entry into the highest grossing movies of all time is the unforgettable Indiana Jones epic that sees Harrison Ford cracking his whip against the worst villain of them all. The Nazis. Fun Fact: Most of the body blows you hear throughout the movies numerous fight scenes were created by hitting a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat. Sounds bizarrely therapeutic tbh.
Director: Steven Spielberg
Apparently people just can't get enough of dinosaurs (especially when they are nomming down on someone sitting on the toilet) and Jurassic Park sees the reptilian overlords (not the David Ike sort…) dominating the cinema. The preview tour gone terribly wrong has terrorized kids for over a decade and it still holds its own today in terms of effects if you want to have a nostalgic peek back into your childhood. Fun Fact: Jurassic Park actually gave studying paleontology a huge boost and universities saw a record increase in students.
Director: George Lucas
People might have been foaming at the mouth with rage at Jar Jar Binks, but they still paid for the privilege of seeing his giant Gungan face flapping away on the big screen. Being heralded as one of the most disappointing movies of all time by many critics hasn't held this juggernaught back in terms of earnings, and while it wasn't a fan favorite, it was certainly profitable. Fun Fact: Qui-Gon Jinn's communicator is a redecorated Sensor Excel Razor for Women. Sharp!
Director: Roger Allers and Rob MinkoffDisney's Hamlet with Lions has a well deserved spot at number eight and this beautifully rendered African epic has everything it needs to qualify as an animated masterpiece. Whether you fall in love with the charming characters, catchy songs or unforgivingly dramatic script, The Lion King will always stay with you like the big Mufasa in the sky. Fun Fact: A few weeks before the film opened, Elton John was given a special screening and was shocked to see the love song he wrote had been left on the cutting room floor. He successfully lobbied to have it put back into the animation and 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' won him an Oscar for best original song.
Director: Richard Marquand
Featuring the much debated Ewoks, Return of the Jedi sees our favorite space rebels attempting to obliterate the second Death Star while Luke battles for Vader's soul in a struggle to drag him back from the dark side of the Force. With a beautiful score and some surprisingly moving moments such as when we see Vader unveiled as a very sick-looking and shockingly vulnerable man, Return of the Jedi delivers typical Star Wars excellenceFun Fact: Harrison Ford thought it could be powerful if Han Solo sacrifice his life to save his friends, but George Lucas disagreed with him because he envisaged Han playing a heroic part in the finale.
Director: Irvin Kershner
1980's The Empire Strikes Back shows Luke Skywalker receiving master jedi training from Yoda after the rebels have been brutally overpowered by the empire. This is also the movie where the fan favorite Boba Fett is introduced. The darker tone of the movie and the more in depth look at Luke's spiritual journey make The Empire Strikes Back a huge fan favorite, but there are still two Star Wars films above it in terms of highest grossing movies. Fun Fact:
Director: James Cameron
Best known for it's stunning immersive visual effects, James Cameron's passion project Avatar dragged people to the cinema in their droves to check them out on the big screen. Following a paraplegic marine who is dispatched to the moon of Pandora, this tale sees his struggle between following orders and doing what he knows it right on behalf of the peaceful Na'vi people and the natural world Fun Fact: The Na'vi language was created from scratch by linguist Dr. Paul R. Frommer. There are around 1000 words in all that were designed to be easy to pronounce while not sounding like any existing language
Director: J.J. Abrams
After the disappointment of The Phantom Menace, Star Wars fans were finally given the wish fulfilment that they had been longing for in the beautifully executed Disney The Force Awakens.With a look that was true to the original trilogy, thrilling new characters and a soul destroying death, The Force Awakens was a emotional roller coaster that dragged fanatics back to the cinema again and again. Fun Fact: Poe Dameron is named after J.J. Abrams' former personal assistant, Morgan Dameron, and her daughter's stuffed polar bear named Poe.
Director: Steven Spielberg
Despite the fact that the friendly alien is inexplicably terrifying looking, E.T. won the hearts of cinema goers with his earnest quest to return home, despite the best efforts of immoral government scientists. With a stellar performance from a young (and totally adorable) Drew Barrymore and one of the most memorable scenes in movie history as E.T. glides in front of the moon on a push bike, this out of this world movie is children's classic. Fun Fact: A lot of the puppetry in E.T. was performed by a 2′ 10 tall stuntman but the kitchen scene was performed by 10-year old boy who was born without legs and compensated by becoming an expert at walking on his hands.
Director: James Cameron
A class-crossing love story that also happens to feature a sinking ship, Titanic had cinema goers sobbing into their tissues as Jack's gorgeous face blubbed under the ocean for the last time. People praise the stunning visual effects of the dramatic sinking scene, but personally I think the best thing about this movie is the introduction of the line "draw me like one of your French girls." Cheers, James. Fun Fact: After learning that she would have to go full frontal in front of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to break the ice when they first met and flashed him.
Director: George Lucas
The first Star Wars movie blew cinema goers away with its expansive, lovingly crafted world and proved that everyone can enjoy sci fi. With well-fleshed-out characters and a compelling storyline, A New Hope got the franchise off on the best possible foot and it still holds the record as the highest grossing movie ever. Out of this world!Fun Fact: George Lucas was so sure the film would flop that instead of attending the premiere, he went on holiday to Hawaii with his best bud Steven Spielberg instead to avoid the embarrassment.

Desperate To Find A Photo Of A Specific Cake

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in a car on Saturday in the Turkish capital Ankara after police tried to search the vehicle, according to Ercan Topaca, the governor of Ankara.
Both suspects, who had refused to surrender, died in the incident on the outskirts of the capital, the governor was quoted by broadcaster CNN Turk as saying. No one else was injured, according to local media reports.
The suspects were believed to have been a man and a woman. A third suspect was still being sought.
Police seized two plastic explosives and 200 kilograms of ammonium nitrate from the scene, in a rural farm area, the Ankara governor's office said in a statement.
Topaca said the Ankara incident appeared to have links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and that police were responding to intelligence warnings coming from Diyarbakir, a mostly Kurdish city in the south-east, the heart of a three-decade conflict between the state and Kurdish militants.
Over 2,000 have been killed in the conflict, which restarted after peace talks with the armed PKK collapsed in 2015.
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said it appeared that the attackers were aiming to blow up the vehicle in Ankara, a city which has witnessed major car bombings this year claimed by Kurdish militants.
The incident follows a motorcycle bombing outside a police station in Istanbul on Thursday. The attack, which injured 10 people, was claimed by the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK), a shadowy splinter group.
Turkey has also witnessed several attacks carried out by the Islamic State extremist group over the past year.

Lowe Will be interim TD before Key joins us for 2018 to be our full time TD. In 2018 Lowe will become team principal combined with some shares. The same time Claire will be gaining the ownership of sir Frank.
That's basically all the "news" right now combined in one short story.
Quote:Stuart L
The team has an amount of shares issued but not allocated to be granted to employees if they meet performance criteria. In effect cheap share options. They were allocated to Sam, Adam and head of production all of who left before they could be cashed in ( share price had dropped anyway). This Is what could go to senior recruits or existing talent

Bellflowers were a species of plant lifeform native to the planet Artemis III.
History and specificsEdit
Bellflower blooms produced soft chiming that was said to relieve stress. They did not thrive outside their environment and thus were never exported. Attempts to copy the flowers sometimes came very close, and these were considered very valuable.
In the year 2365, Data gave artificial copies of bellflowers to Doctor Katherine Pulaski. (TNG novel: Metamorphosis)

The latest mass shootingin the United States adds new impetus to the debate on gun control.
Democratic Senator Ginny Burdick is among those backing the President's call for action. Twenty young children and six adults died when Adam Lanza opened fire at their school on Friday.
However, the people of Newtown where the latest shooting happened have their own message for President Barack Obama. Jim Callery, a local resident said, "There's no reason for anyone to have an assault rifle or have access to one. Just show some leadership."
"We have the benefit and the misfortune of being on the national stage right now," said Craig Mittleman, a 49-year-old father of four and an emergency physician. "In a week, everybody's going to be gone and Newtown is going to be just like Columbine, just like Virginia Tech. We're going to be on a list of towns victimized by this insanity."
President Barack Obama pledged action to stop similar tragedies - but that will be no easy task. Opinion polls have found Americans divided on gun control even after other high-profile shooting incidents.
Speaking at a memorial service for the victims of a mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, he said on Sunday the United States was not doing enough to protect its children and pledged to launch an effort to reduce violence.
"We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them we must change," Obama said at a somber interfaith service.
"In the coming weeks I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this," he said. "Because what choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine."

As Bhaag Milkha Bhaag rocked the theaters successfully despite its prolonged running time, a particular thought kept hovering in my mind. I found it absolutely strange that a nation that swears by cricket, which goes to the extent of considering it as religion and a certain Mr. Tendulkar as God, has actually given a no-go to almost all movies based on it. Fortunately, the beneficiaries have been cricket's poorer siblings.
Stars have helped a great deal to shift focus from the game that India eats, sleeps and drinks. Years after playing the cricket coach in Chamatkar, Shah Rukh Khan (portraying coach Mir Ranjan Negi) walked in with a hockey stick on-screen giving his team the very famous and inspiring speech about having '70 minutes' to change their lives. Hockey, the national game of the country, enjoyed for a few fleeting moments the 150-odd minutes of rare fame. But, soon after came the Indian Premier League once again that took our craziness for cricket several notches higher. While one notices that once in a while a film like Chak De India comes and shifts the focus from the gentleman's game to other sports, once in a while also comes a cricket-themed movie that sinks without a trace.
Flop movies are the reason movies about cricket flop
In Awwal Number (1990), Aamir Khan played the part of a cricket prodigy who takes almost a decade to find his real touch. He defeats the Aussies in their own game on his home turf. He finishes it in more of a present day Dhoni style: getting the ball out of the park. It is probably the only film that pays a befitting tribute to the game and not an individual. It fictionalizes the genesis of the game in our country and has the audacity to compare it with 'gilli danda'. Iqbal too caught the imagination of the nation. It told us that a mute and deaf person can let his deliveries do all the talking.
But the picture is not always so rosy. Maybe, we follow cricket so aggressively that even a match between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh holds importance. We actually are repelled by the thought of watching it on-screen when we can watch real cliffhangers. Also, the filmmakers more often have failed to tap the emotions of a cricket fan and above that have failed to create stories that are more enticing than cricket itself. The fault lies with films like Chain Khuli Ki Main Khuli and Patiala House that fail to create a Lagaan-esque underdog story. Then there were films like Dil Bole Haddippa, Hattrick, Stumped and Mirabai Not Out that were sent back to the pavilion, the moment they took guard on Friday morning.
Ray of Hope
Now, we should not make our complaining generic, as complaining tends to get. Cycling looked like a dream sport in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Paan Singh Tomar and Milkha Singh kept running on tracks as we watched with awe. Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal failed to 'Bend it like Bechkam' but was perhaps the most honest attempt of Bollywood to make a movie on football. The same fate was of Tara Rum Pum. Now, the biopic on Mary Kom might be India's Million Dollar Baby. Then there is Badminton, Tennis, Swimming, Golf, Kabaddi et al. We have a long way to go before India makes it's mark in sports; cinematically or in reality.

Last minute Canadian Cruise!!: Carnival Splendor Cruise Review by baseballmom2
Overall Member Rating
Last minute Canadian Cruise!!
Destination: British Columbia
Embarkation: Los Angeles
Our cabins were aft insides and were pretty loud and shaky the 1st and last nights. The first night was a little loud and shaky, the engine I guess? On the last morning I swear it felt like a huge earthquake was waking us up at around 7 in the morning! I don't know what it was, but it was kinda scary. I was glad my kids slept through it. Other than that it was fine. Our steward Sugeng (I think that is the right spelling) was very helpful and friendly too!
We had a table for 6 in the Gold Pearl table #308 and our waiter and asst. waiter was Joel and Benjie. We came to fall in love with them by the end of the week! They were very funny and friendly! Dinners were very good, I had mostly fish and shrimp dishes, and I really couldn't complain about any of them. My husband ordered steak almost every night, and he said the first night was his favorite. We also ate at the Pinnacle steak house on Thursday night and it was very very good! I can't remember our server's name but she was from the Ukraine. My husband got the porterhouse, which he really really liked. All the items we ordered were really good! There was also a huge Lido buffet, and all the different stations. The food in the buffet was pretty good for a buffet, the mac n cheese was really good! The mushroom and goat cheese pizza was really good too! Sometimes the buffet could be a little crowded and it was closed a lot of the time, which was a little disappointing. Oh and the hot chocolate in the buffet was really good too!
Camp Carnival
My kids LOVED Camp Carnival! They went to it every night after the 1st night from 6-10. They had many fun activities for the kids to do and had their faces painted when we went to pick them up!
Entertainment and Lounges
We didn't really go out too much at night, karaoke was fun, and we liked the El Morrocco and Robusto the best for places to hang out. Overall they were all very nice and I think there is definitly something for everyone on this ship. The casino was typical, not really paying out anything :(. It was nice and had a pretty good selection of machines. We never went in the pools and used the hot tubs a few times. My kids loved the waterslides and mini golf. There was lots and lots of things to do on the ship, all day long! We liked the afternoon tea.
Since I have read so much discussion about the decor, I will also comment on that. It was very strange, but did not affect or ruin my cruise in any way. Yes there are wierd pink zebra circles in the elevators and black tile with green grout. I would describe it as funky. :) There was lots of copper and some wierd over easy egg things in the dining room too. My mom really liked the copper. It's not my favorite, but who cares? I loved the ship despite that! Less

Maaya Ajari (阿蛇里 麻綾, Ajari Maaya) is a member of the "Reborn Red Tail". She serves as the Number 2 of the organization.[1]
Maaya is a lean-built woman with a round face often displayed with an unfazed and distant expression.[1]
Maaya has shoulder-length hair styled into a unique hairstyle; while a majority of her hair is light-colored, most of the hair above her ears are much darker and fluffy, save for a small patch at the middle of her head, where the rest of Maaya's lighter hair is fashioned into a high mowhawk. She also has light-colored eyes that usually appear droopy.[1]
She wears a dark tube top underneath a long, light-colored coat. Her coat has pockets on the fronts, patches on the shoulders, and an unusual collar that is tall and has a curved section connecting to the lapels below. Below her waist, she wears light-colored pants, with a black belt possessing a metallic ornamental buckle, tucked underneath light-colored boots with several belt straps attached to the material. Also, just underneath her chin, there is a light-colored surgical mask.[2]
Maaya is a calm woman who is often seen with a pleasant, albeit somewhat dazed expression.[1] She possesses a certain amount of interest and confidence in the "Reborn Red Tail" compared to the original, believing that two such organizations shouldn't coexist with one another, particularly the original, believing that their current leader is not worthy enough.[3]
However, she appears to be somewhat of a coward, immediately submitting to Aoi Kunieda after she defeats the entire "Reborn Red Tail".[4]
She also appears to have a fondness for tea.[2]
Maaya formerly attended Majōgari Academy before she enrolled in Ishiyama High School.[1]
Return to Ishiyama High School ArcEdit
Maaya sits on a lounge chair inside a classroom along with the other "Reborn Red Tail" members. Aoi eventually approaches their group seeking out Ringo; her comment flares up one of the girls prompting Maaya to tell her to cool down. Maaya then tells Kunieda that Ringo is out taking care of business for a little bit. However, she also adds that they will be talking about something that Aoi cannot surely refuse;[1] Aoi eventually sits down and they begin to talk. Maaya proposes that Aoi join them seeing as she is no longer the leader of the Red Tail; therefore, she should have no reason to return to them. When refused, Maaya tells Aoi to stay in her seat before she then starts taunting Nene. Unfortunately, this ends up causing Aoi to leave, though not before she states that they are all underestimating Nene. Maaya subsequently remarks to Yukino that everything has gone accordingly as to how Ringo planned: now, Aoi also cannot help Nene should she be in any sort of trouble.[5]
Maaya and the rest of the her gang later confront the original Red Tail in the hallways. Maaya greets Nene and asks where they are heading.[6] Both generations quickly ensue into a fight that eventually results in the "Reborn Red Tail" victorious and nearly unscathed.[7]
They return back to Ringo with the defeated Red Tail. Maaya particularly drags Nene along by holding her up from the ponytail.[7][8] Maaya then takes to watching Ringo fight Aoi. She becomes worried for her leader when Aoi deals a powerful attack against Ringo and shouts out for her; shortly after, she is threatened point-blank to release Nene, which she does out of intimidation. Maaya looks from afar when Aoi then declares that she will become the Red Tail's leader again.[9] She continues to watch even after Oga releases himself from his restraints.[10]
However, Maaya later goes to fight against Aoi after being called in to fight alongside Ringo. However, she and the others are then swiftly defeated by Aoi.[11] Frightened by her power, all members of the "Reborn Red Tail" later bow down in defeat to their former leader, apologizing for their "prank" and that they will only follow her. As punishment, Aoi decides to write the kanji for "fake" over all of their Red Tail cloaks, scaring Maaya further. However, she expresses genuine surprise when she is then told that they can all return to being members of the original Red Tail.[12]
Wooden Sword: Maaya uses a wooden sword as a weapon.[13]

Pasted resumes and letters are distorted
I was wondering if someone responds to these threads. It has been weeks and I cannot get to complete this project.
Now the submissions are coming in but they are all garbled when pasted into the text fields. Either it needs to keep the formatting as pasted or strip away extra code and present it in a simple manner.
If there are not going to be any responses on here, is it possible to get a link to a suggested alternative, free or paid?
- The topic 'Pasted resumes and letters are distorted' is closed to new replies.

Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Economic Strategy
Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Economic Strategy
Our game will take place in the world that resembles the 19 th century Earth in the epoch of the primary capital formation.
However, it has turned out that there are not many land parcels with big gold deposits, so not every prospector would be able to stake a rich claim. So what should others do, upon whom the fortune didn't smile? In our game, one can grow rich not only by rocking gravel for gold or finding a goldmine. North is a land of unlimited opportunities, covered by thick forests and earth, full of ironstone and coal, so those who are not afraid of work will find a place in the sun anyway.
Some people mine or wash gold, others produce and sell the necessary instruments. Prospectors and their families must live somewhere, so instead of temporary miners' settlements the towns are growing up, and the workers are needed to build and expand them. As in the real life, there is a big need for the workforce in the game, so everyone can find the work to his liking: work in the mine, at the construction, fell the trees, or start industry development by arranging the raw materials processing or instrument and transport manufacturing.
Further - more, the banks will open in the towns, the service businesses will appear, various activities and entertainment will emerge… In short, the thing that starts as a gold rush, should grow into the complex trade and economic relations with time. The art of thinking, analyzing, and money counting will help you to realize your potential in this virtual world and earn by no means virtual money. So choose your cup of tea, and good luck!
The main peculiarity of Prospectors, which is absent in any other existing online game, will be the possibility of monetizing the time spent in the game. In other words, players will be able to not only enjoy the game, but earn on it as well. The gold earned in the game is going to be converted into real money.
Prospectors game world will be based on the real economic model, characteristic for the second part of 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries. To implement the real economic processes and plausible financial models, our team requested the consultations of the leading experts in the field.
We plan to launch the web version of the game platform, as well as the mobile apps for Android/iPhone, which will provide the players with the possibility of being always online and have access to the game anywhere anytime.
Several years ago, virtual money first came into our sight. These were Bitcoins, generated on the basis of blockchain, which only started to gain popularity. Getting interested in blockchain technology and crypto-currency, we started to look forward to checking how it all worked in practice. Since only few people knew about Bitcoin then, it was really hard – almost impossible – to get it, unless one wanted to start mining. However, this process was quite complicated and long, so we paid our attention to the so-called faucets – resources that distributed minimal amounts of Bitcoin while playing various games or etc.
By virtue of Bitcoin faucets we were able to gather some amount of the first crypto-currency, create the wallet, and fulfill the first transaction. Our next step was creating our own resources of such type with the aim to acquaint people with virtual money. Not without vanity, in due season we were the leading player in the segment of crypto-currency faucets.
Giving out the small parts of Bitcoin in our games, we noticed that our resources became a good source of side living for many players from the poor countries. Their network gaming supplemented their not-so- big main income. Back at that time, the idea of the game that would give a possibility to earn and not require money for additional options instead, had started up in our heads. However, we hadn't had technical possibilities to realize this plan.
Everything changed when the Ethereum platform was created on blockchain. Smart contracts with their wonderful possibilities have given us a chance to live out our dream. The game mechanics of smart contracts, enabled in the game, is described in the corresponding section.
One more factor that made us more confident in the possibility of realizing our idea was the success of the decentralized social network Steemit. This platform for bloggers pays its users for writing articles, publishing photos, liking and commenting posts. In addition, similar services for music and video content are being under development right now. This gives the possibility to monetize one's favorite pastime.
But why not create a game which would not only bring joy to players, but also give a chance to earn real money? – We were thinking. The winning in the game shouldn't be only nominal, it must be reflected in monetary form. More so, our game will give a chance to earn not only to the most active players, but for everyone interested. Someone will build an economic empire in the game, and someone will get interested in trading on the outside exchange platform. We won't limit any possibilities to earn, since this is the economic game in the first instance.
Our world is changing; as always, this is great for ones and destructive for others, but we are moving forward anyway, and we have to adapt to the new conditions. In olden times, the process of industrialization and creation of conveyer left many workers without livelihood. Only those who were able to learn the new, technically more complicated professions, managed to get a job.
We are now approaching the global changes in the financial economic sphere. This industry doesn't require such a big number of employers that is involved right now. A wave of mass clerk dismissals has started after the economic crisis several years ago, and this process will only progress with time. And the popularization of blockchain technologies and usage of smart contracts takes not the last place among the reasons. Together with the neural network programs, this will help to replace people for hard and routine work in the near future.
So, if the innovations can leave people without work, why cannot they provide people with the possibilities to unlock their potential in the virtual world? Especially if this brings the real income. This is why we want to create "Prospectors" – the game which will be a simulation of the real economic relations of cc. 19th -20th .

At last month's Farnborough Air Show, Bombardier Business Aircraft confirmed plans for two Learjet 45 follow-on models. At a preshow ceremony at a downtown London hotel on July 21, the company unveiled scale models of its new Learjet 40 and 45XR variants–the former a truncated (by 25.5 in.) six-seat version; the latter a same-size Model 45, but with a previously promised 1,000-lb increase in mtow; enhanced hot-and-high runway and climb performance; improved Universal UNS1-E FMS; new interior design and a $575,000 increase in price, to $10.42 million. Conventional Learjet 45s will remain part of the product line at the old price even after the 45XR and the smaller Model 40 come on line next year. Also, existing Learjet 45s may be upgraded to 45XR performance status via STCs and Service Bulletins for a cost of $400,000 (not including the new interior configuration).
Claude Chidiac, v-p of Learjet and Challenger product development for Bombardier Business Aircraft, told AIN the new variants are a result of the Canadian manufacturer "refreshing its product line." With its $6.75 million price tag, the Learjet 40 takes square aim at Cessna's $7.56 million Encore, but also crowds Bombardier's own slow-selling Learjet 31A, which has the same number of seats and is priced only $170,000 less. Chidiac said the company regularly evaluates whether or not it will continue to produce the 31A, though he offered no timetable for making such a decision in light of the introduction of the 40, which is expected to make its first flight this quarter and receive FAA certification this time next year. The stand-up-cabin, six-to-10-passenger Learjet 60 tops the line at $12.46 million.
Chidiac pointed out that the Learjet 45, certified in 1997, was the first clean-sheet Learjet to come from the company since the first Model 23 was certified in 1964 (when the company was Lear Jet). Like the proverbial George Washington's ax ("it's had several new handles and heads since then"), the Learjet product line has had a few wing, fuselage and engine changes, but all had been progressively certified as derivative aircraft until the 45 came along. (The company had its problems with the FAA in the process. Certification finally came some two years late.)
Building the Learjet 40 is a way for Bombardier to tap the light jet market with a minimal investment in research and development or certification costs. Its market research indicated that low acquisition cost topped the needs of prospective light jet owner/operators. Range, direct operating costs, speed/performance and cabin comfort came next, in descending order of importance. Pricing the Learjet 40 some $3 million below the 45 clearly addresses that market's concerns. Besides the 25.5-in. shorter fuselage (and cabin), some other slight differences between the
40 and the 45 include three fewer windows (13 rather than 16), and somewhat less range (1,724 nm, NBAA IFR) due to 110 gal less fuselage fuel-tank capacity. Also, the optional APU available on the 45 is not allowed on the shorter-coupled 40 due to cg considerations.
The interior follows the form of Bombardier's redesigned cabin for the full line. Seat back size has been shaved by 1.5 in. per seat, resulting in more legroom for all passengers and outboard armrests may be removed for two inches more seat width without impinging on aisle space. The galley has been improved and may now store eight trays. Maintenance technicians will find easier access to systems such as the brake control unit and the spoileron computer located behind the lavatory bulkhead. All line-replaceable units of the interior have been redesigned to allow removal or installation in less than 20 min. Finally, lighting has been converted to LEDs with 10,000-hr life expectancy, low current draw and low heat output.
Bombardier is banking on the Learjet reputation as a speedy traveler. According to the company, the Learjet 40 will beat its rival Citation Encore by 12 min on a New York-to-Chicago trip; 18 min from Dallas to Los Angeles; and 50 min from Athens to London, since the Cessna doesn't have the fuel capacity to complete the 453-nm trip at its high-speed cruise Mach number, and would have to fly at its slower, long-range-cruise speed.
Another big advantage is the systems commonality among the trio of Learjet 45-series models. All systems and pilots' type ratings are common with the exception of the aforementioned fuel system. The Honeywell Primus 1000 remains the avionics suite of choice, with the standard Universal UNS-1C flight management system replaced by the newer, more sophisticated UNS-1E. As with the Learjet 45 and 45XR, a second FMS is optional on the 40. Bombardier is also quick to point out that the Learjet 45 has been certified (albeit somewhat painfully) to all the latest FAA and JAA standards–FAR Part 25 amendment 77 and JAR Part 25 Change 13. The standards include 16g-seat certification, bird-strike testing to the latest amendments, flight-manual presentations for takeoff and landing performance, and the most stringent of icing testing. Also common are the parts and warranty programs (including engine maintenance service plans), pilot type ratings and training programs, maintenance and tool systems and change boards for common field solutions.
The timetable for the Learjet 40 includes a one-year flight test program, beginning within the next 90 days. With FAA certification planned for the third quarter of next year, JAA approval and service entry are expected in the first quarter of 2004. Bombardier has completed a full-size mockup and will bring it to the NBAA Convention next month in Orlando. A demonstrator aircraft is expected to be available for customer evaluation flights before the first production aircraft enters service.
The Learjet 45XR
Current Learjet 45 operators–or industry observers with good memories–may be a bit confused by the announcement of the 45XR. At last year's Paris Air Show, Bombardier announced an impending mtow increase for the Learjet 45, scheduled for certification in the second quarter of this year. The increase was intended to be incorporated in all new-build Learjet 45s and would be available to owners of existing aircraft via Service Bulletins at no charge.
That promise remains intact. Bombardier will upgrade current Learjet 45s to the 21,500-lb mtow at no charge to their owners. That means that the airplane can carry eight passengers and full fuel. But the 45XR incorporates more, according to Chidiac–and it's not just the new interior. He said it all began with the promised mtow increase. He told AIN, "As we researched the engineering required for the weight increase, we realized we could develop an even further enhanced-performance version of the airplane. So we decided to take it a step further with additional improvements in takeoff, time-to-climb and hot-and-high condition performance. We added some other features and come out with a derivative model, the 45XR."
The performance increase (but not the boost in mtow) is based on upgraded Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines (The original Learjet 45 has TFE731-20AR versions). The -20BR's extra performance comes from adjustments to thrust schedules and corresponding reprogramming of its Fadec. The TFE731-20BR has the same ITT limits as its more potent cousin, the TFE731-40, resulting in increased climb thrust; increased cruise thrust; an increase in takeoff and approach thrust flat rate; no change to long-range cruise missions; and no change in specific fuel consumption. Chidiac pointed out that although there is no direct increase in range, better time-to-climb allows more flexibility in altitude selection for winds, leading to de facto increases in practical range with prudent flight planning. Also, increased hot-and-high performance means more range when departing high-altitude airports on hot days. For instance, a flight from Aspen, Colo., in a 45XR carrying eight passengers will have an additional 1,000 nm of range when compared with the TFE731-20AR-equipped Learjet 45.
Finally, given that the latest iteration of the Learjet 45 may be spending more time at altitude with more passengers on board, Bombardier has made available more oxygen capability. The current 22-cu-ft bottle may be replaced with either a 40-cu-ft bottle, or a larger, bulkier 77-cu-ft bottle for those who may need the extra capacity more than they need the additional cabin space. The larger oxygen systems will add approximately $30,000 to the cost of a new Learjet 45XR or Learjet 45.
Chidiac said Bombardier is satisfied that the newly derived versions of the popular Learjet 45 will serve its light-jet customers for the foreseeable future–at least the next five years. Beyond that time frame, the company could look to new engines for still further advanced models.

We have all asked the question "Why hasn't my plant bloomed?" Sometimes the answer is as simple as not enough sunlight, not old enough, not cold enough or hot enough, etc.
In fact, it could be as simple as a little digging and dividing for some renewed blooming attitude.
For most of my herbaceous perennials I wait until early fall to do a good portion of my digging and dividing.
