The smartphone ecosystem comes of age
A recent Nielsen report on the smartphone ecosystem highlights its consolidation and maturity, built around a few companies that have managed to become true leaders thanks to a consistent strategy and the right acquisitions. The data is garnered from the North American market, but the conclusions can be applied to most other markets, with some exceptions like China or Russia, or the substitution of apps like Facebook Messenger by WhatsApp.
The first eight most-used apps belong to two companies: Google and Facebook. Google's YouTube (acquired in 2006) sits at number 3 and Google Maps (acquired in 2004) is in 4th place, in addition to Google Search, at number 5, Google Play in 6th and Gmail in 7th place, while Facebook takes first and second place with its own app and with Facebook Messenger (acquired in 2011), and includes Instagram (acquired in 2012) in the 8th spot. That the last two positions on the list are Apple Music at 9 And Amazon at 10 makes it clear that the smartphone ecosystem is already completely dominated by the so-called GAFA quadrumvirate, demonstrating the importance of knowing how to define a strategy and having the knowhow to acquire companies when required. Many of the acquisitions that have taken these companies to the position they occupy today were described at the time as madness.
Consolidation, reflected in the overwhelming dominance of a few players, has other consequences. Although 88% of Americans already have a smartphone, and the penetration of these types of devices in the world is growing systematically, most users now download far fewer apps than just a few years ago, which means that the dynamism of the ecosystem in general has been greatly reduced. Where once there was a land of opportunity for anyone who was able to launch an application with some success, the panorama is completely dominated by a few players.
Programming apps is now easier than ever before, but getting them to market is nigh impossible: the consolidation of the smartphone as a platform has taken place much faster and much more efficiently than happened with the personal computer. In the smartphone world, some of the major competitors, such as Google or Apple, also dominate distribution channels through their respective app stores. And while they pretty much have the US market evenly divided (iOS 45% and Android 53%), it's a very different picture in other regions: in Spain, in July 2016, Android's share reached 90%, and globally is 87%. In the smartphone ecosystem, Google is, and has been for some time, what Microsoft was in the PC world, except for the not so small detail that its product, Android, is still for the most open source.
It is now clear that betting on mobile ecosystems from the get go was a strategic decision. The current scenario is not written in stone, and even competitors like Apple, who dominate a significant part of the entire market, have had to carry out impressive launches and advertising campaigns to be able to place Apple Music in the Top 10. Through its application Amazon pretty much forced customers to use the smartphone. For newcomers, unless they are able to invent a whole category, there is now virtually no way in.
Most of us have our smartphone on us at all times, even returning home if we leave the thing behind, and we use it for more and more things. The sector is now controlled by a very few companies. The rest, as they say, is history. And as we all know, history is written by the victors.

'Though this be madness, yet there is method in't'
Polonius, Hamlet - Act II, scene ii.
In the late 1580s, the godfather of theatre left his home in Stratford-upon-Avon for London. The record of his having arrived there appears seven years later. Question: did he get lost? Did he take a circuitous route - perhaps on the run from his wife and/or his creditors? Was he being pursued by a bear? Or was he just slow on the old pins?
As an invaluable contribution to researching this knotty problem, LAMDA's group of 'travelling players' have agreed to don their walking boots and walk from Stratford-upon-Avon to London to raise funds for the Academy. They will set off from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and hopefully reach Barons Court six days later. On arrival in London the walkers will be greeted by cheering crowds who will accompany them on a final ten mile tour around the capital's historical and theatrical sites, culminating at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
Please join us and support our efforts to secure and refurbish our new home - in benefit of LAMDA our Core Walkers traveled an amazing 140 miles from Stratford to London, and then a big group of LAMDA students, alumni, Board members and friends did a further ten miles around the capital for the cause!
We are SO close to our goal - won't you help us reach it? Any and all donations will be gratfully appreciated!
LAMDA also wishes to acknowledge our corporate sponsors for their generous support of the Walk:

TD04 19T Upgrade Discussion
View Single Post
Scooby Newbie
Join Date:
Dec 2006

2004 FXT, 19t-td04
I agree, the 19T TD04 is closer to a stock TD04 than a VF39. Basically the upgrade will net you close to 20% more air flow, giving you those HP gains with spool very similar to a stock TD04. If you like the feel of a stock TD04, then the upgrade is a higher powered version of it. Personally, I've run a VF35 and an 18g, and have gone back to a TD04 simply for the quickness of it and the powerband centered around 3K, which is pretty much what you run at driving around under normal gearing. However, it's not as fun on the freeway ramps as samo22 had said
It is not as fast as my 18g when revving through the gears, but has more passing power without the need to downshift at normal driving RPMs.
Now, I like power as much as the next guy... and honestly I'd love to run a big turbo. However, being stuck with a 5 speed, I've decided to stick with a turbo that has power in a more practical range. If I ever get a good chunk of money saved up, I'd love to do a 6 speed swap or a built up 5 speed, and then run a twin turbo setup similar to Borg Warner's RS2 setup... which they call "regulated 2 stage turbocharging". It's pretty much a hybrid between a staged and sequential turbo charger setup. It behaves like a sequential, but is built similar to staged. It would have to be all custom for a subaru, and thus lots of $$$, but could potentially give you full boost from 2K to redline with the right pairing of turbos... which I think is pure evil
... in a good way.
As far as my downpipe, it's an Ultimate Racing one with a metal substrate cat, rated efficient to 700 whp. Given marketing hype, assuming it's only good for half that, I shouldn't see a restriction issue with it. My tuner did mention it would be better if the cat was located farther away from the turbo through. It's my only cat, so I kind of want to keep it. I'm also running an EWG that by-passes the cat, so that should be helping a bit too. Many people feel that the stock inlet isn't the restriction, and I'm sure it's not "that" restrictive. However, if you're running your turbo at its limit, every bit of pressure against it reduces its ability to produce boost. A big turbo has plenty of ability to work against it, a small turbo does not. So I'm still thinking my inlet hose may be limiting me, especially since Steve is seeing better top-end results running an upgraded inlet hose. I could be wrong as there's so many things that play together, and the engines are different, so I guess I'll find out when I do my inlet upgrade.

One September morning in 2008, an investment banker approaching forty, his career in collapse and his marriage unraveling, receives a surprise visitor at his West London townhouse. In the disheveled figure of a South Asian male carrying a backpack the banker recognizes a long-lost friend, a mathematics prodigy who disappeared years earlier under mysterious circumstances. The friend has resurfaced to make a confession of unsettling power.
In the Light of What We Know takes us on a journey of exhilarating scope-from Kabul to London, New York, Islamabad, Oxford, and Princeton-and explores the great questions of love, belonging, science, and war. It is an age-old story: the friendship of two men and the betrayal of one by the other. The visitor seeks atonement, and the narrator sets out to tell his friend's story but finds himself at the limits of what he can know about the world-and, ultimately, himself. Set against the breaking of nations and beneath the clouds of economic crisis, this surprisingly tender novel chronicles the lives of people carrying unshakable legacies of class and culture as they struggle to tame their futures.

"Beautifully written and renewed evidence that some of the most interesting writing in English is coming from the edges of old empires." (Kirkus Starred Review)
"Challenging, but beautifully written and conceived"
This is a dense novel but the writing and performance are outstanding. It is full of ideas and I had to go buy a hard copy because I wanted to underline sections of it and be able to refer back to it. It is about our times and about identity and exile. Especially brilliant on the latter. It is not a page turner and I did put it down a couple of times. But it always drew me back in and I felt a resonance with its ideas and a deep sympathy for the two main characters, the narrator and his friend Zafar.
"Listened twice."
Beautiful writing. Wonderful character development; I will have Zafar as a permanent resident in my personal list of memorable fictional characters. This is a very rich work of philosophical and social commentary.
I have a doctorate in philosophy; I read many, many books; I like serious fiction. I say all that simply to let you know that my feelings about this book are not because I am in any sense anti-intellectual or averse to ambitious fiction. This, however, is fake fiction. It's as if someone had devised some sort of hot air balloon that has just the right contours and just the right behavior to make it appear like a fighter jet on distant radar. This book, with its pretentious epigraphs, its exotic locations, its occasionally inflated vocabulary, its adolescent opining on politics and philosophy, its world weary sophisticates, its post-colonial ambiance is just that sort of hollow fake designed to push the buttons of wanna-be's, middlebrows, and hipsters. But beneath all the posturing, it's basically a not terribly good soap opera. And I suppose that's why I so strongly dislike it: it isn't an honest failure; it's a cynical fraud by someone who likes to play at being a writer but lacks any real inspiration other than a desire to strike poses. I honestly feel like I've been robbed of many hours of my life.
"A Tour De Force of philosophy and literature"
This book is exceptional in its beauty of language and depth of intellectual pursuits. it was also surprising in the details of the story and kept me thoroughly engaged.
"Narrator is so distracting."
Couldn't even get through 10 mins. The narrator is so distracting. Why use such a heavily accented narration? Ugggh! Will just read the book when I can.
"Into the mind of one who understands feelings, the West, the East and life."
This is an amazing novell, worth every bit of its prizes. It is long; it is slow; it wanders into almost unrelated reflections; but every sentence makes you feel the characters close at heart.
The narrator makes a believable scene of two men with British accents with South-Asian undertones. However I wish he had given different voices to each character when they speak. It makes easy to loose the thread of whose toughts we are listening to.
"Terrible Story, Dreadful Reader"
I have never submitted a review on either Audible or Amazon but I hated this book and this reader so much, I am taking the time to submit a review on both sites.
This story is told by two people, constantly switching back and forth, and the narrator was unable to differentiate between the two characters. Audible records books with more than one reader sometimes, this, of all books, should have been done that way.
This author has more airs than Umberto Eco (Who's the Name of the Rose was bearable but whose other books were insufferable). A friend of mine recommended b/c he read the New Yorker article. I gave up after 20 hours b/c I had 36 more to go.
"Too many words"
Somerset Maugham was once asked what advice he had for would-be writers. He answered.."don't". Pity Rahman didn't heed this advice
The modern novelist confuses length with value. The last few books I have read or listened to could have been reduced by half and lose nothing. This book is typical of this modern curse. Pages go by with pointless recitative. When the "aria" finally arrives it's not very profound or interesting.The critics who gushed about this book are like abstract art critics: Some key figure gives the nod of approval and they fall into line.
The "story" could be told in a few pages;the rest of this book is self-indulgent drivel.To imagine that whatever pops into the writer's head will be of great interest to the reader is a form of literary narcissism. The book is largely boring and pointless. The few digressions into Godel's logic theory or credit default swaps could have been lifted from Wikipedia.
My advice to the would be writer....Keep it brief and read Martin Amis

Nordex SE Research Report
Robur link for Nordex SE: here
ISIN: DE000A0D6554 FT Ticker: NDXX.A:GER
Nordex makes wind turbines, currently for onshore projects only. It recently acquired Acciona wind business, which gives it two things it did not have before: a much easier path to sales in Latin America, and a greatly increased revenue stream from servicing plant.
Here is the point: the share price graph bears no sensible relationship to the growth chart below it. Although – as is to be expected in a rapidly growing company – earnings per share (EPS) is erratic, the trend is clearly upwards; and revenues and operating income show exemplary growth. (The numbers on the growth chart are rebased to 100). What is going on?
Perceived Problems
Nordex is a company that, given its North German base, is rather surprising. Despite wonderful growth in the last four years, it has had a high turnover of senior executives; just recently, the CEO resigned, handing over to an ex-Acciona executive (with a long and impressive track record in wind power, including time at Gamesa as well as Acciona). The ostensible reason for the departure of the current CEO was his inability to manage corporate communications.
This is an unusual reason for the resignation of the CEO of a successful engineering company in a growth industry. Still stranger is that, following excellent 2016 financial year results, the shares tanked, falling to their current level of a little under EUR 13 per share, a level last seen in 2014 when revenues were half their current levels, from about EUR 20 per share in January and EUR 33 at their peak late in 2015. The reason is a lot of gloomy warnings about negative growth in 2017 and increased pressure on margins and prices.
The question then is: who is right: the gloomy prognostications of the ex-CEO, or the company's forecasts of actual sales and income going forward?
Above is the record to the end of 2016. For 2017, the company forecasts revenues (at the low end of their forecast) of EUR 3.1 bn, with operating income about EUR 240M; for 2018, a return to the 2016 levels.
The reasons for this cessation of growth are complex, but here are some:
- bureaucratic delays on Indian orders;
- troubles with Trump:
- Mexico is unsure of how its economy will look if NAFTA is scrapped or renegotiated;
- US operators may place fewer orders for wind turbines given the new administration's commitment to coal and dislike of anything to do with mitigating climate change;
- an inflated 2016 final quarter as:
- German contracts were placed ahead of a regulatory change which affects the feed-in tariffs of plant ordered after 31 December 2016;
- US "Safe Harbor" contracts were place in the final quarter of 2016, again in anticipation of tax credit change.
Looking Ahead
Let's take the forecast revenues and operating income for 2018 and 2017: EUR 3,400M and 3,100 M.
|Operating Income
Although that shows the numbers reaching a dip and then a plateau after the very strong 2016 results, that is still a 4-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of18.3% for revenues, and 35.8% for operating income – numbers which many companies can only dream about. But there remains the question – will the plateau remain? Will Nordex then stay still, while others take its market share?
Global market trends
The global onshore wind market is forecast to show only 3.7% CAGR between 2016 and 2020. But this masks big differences:
- Europe: -7.6%
- North America: +6.9%
- Latin America: + 8.9%
- Rest of World (excluding China): +14.2%
It is true that the Rest of World includes the notoriously difficult market of India; but Nordex is already well advanced in India, despite bureaucratic delays. The Acciona Wind acquisition is already helping the company win orders in Latin America. It is by no means certain that all US generators will heed Trump's call to reopen coal-fired stations. Trump may not be there in four years' time, and the costs of then switching back to less polluting generation may well frighten utilities, which have to take a long term view of investments. We see no reason why Nordex should not achieve 10% revenue growth for 2019 and 2020.
Meanwhile, the service business, looking after ageing existing installations as well as new plant, should grow by at least 9% CAGR from 2017 – 2020.
Competitive position
Nordex is (by its own ranking) #5 in the world for turbine generator manufacturers; they carefully exclude Goldwind, in China. We think they are #6 in the world. Siemens has a similar deal with Gamesa to the Nordex deal with Acciona and are now a serious competitor in the #7 position. Siemens also has access to capital and engineering resources on a scale much larger than the resources available to Nordex.
Enercon remains a very strong competitor; it is not listed, so we cannot make direct comparisons, and now that its founder, Aloys Wobben, has retired, Enercon's future direction is hard to predict. Vestas, with roughly three times Nordex's revenues, retains the top spot in the world. Goldwind (Xinjiang Goldwind), the largest Chinese manufacturer, is expected to turn in 2016 revenues of approximately CNY 31 bn, say EUR 4.2 bn. So far, Goldwind has shown little appetite for sales outside China though this may well change. But apart from the new Siemens-Gamesa tie-up, there is nothing startlingly different in the competitive line-up to make us feel that Nordex is facing unusual headwinds.
R&D and Capex
This is perhaps not Nordex's strongest point, with capex for 2017 forecast at EUR 150M. However, recent R&D efforts have resulted in up to 30% improvements in the generating capacity of turbines with constant size, and significant reductions in noise, both of which are very important competitive selling points. For this business, capex at 4.4% – 4.8% of sales seems a little low to us, particularly given the low cost of funding available to German companies.
Comparison with Vestas, and conclusion
Vestas is trading right at the top of its share price range. It might be instructive to compare the two companies, even though Vestas sells three times as much equipment:
Comparing the CAGR rates:
|Op. Income
|Net income
|Ops. cash
and the typical valuation ratios:
|52-wk Hi-Lo
|Robur Score
|53.6 %
We have two companies in the same market, with rather similar indicators, except that Vestas has grown net income twice as fast as Nordex, and Nordex trades at a much lower price:book ratio than Vestas. Yet Vestas is right at the top of its share price range, and Nordex is right at the bottom.
So far this year, news is good: there have been follow-up orders, in February, to the US "Safe Harbor" orders in the last quarter of 2016, suggesting that not all is gloom on the US front for 2017. The new CEO is a seasoned wind-power executive from the Acciona business and is surely the person to drive Latin American sales, a vital part of the company's future.
Buying Nordex now is, however, clearly a bet against strong market sentiment to the opposite conclusion. There is no guarantee that, just because the business is doing OK, that the share price will recover in the near or even medium future. Of course, at the current levels, Nordex must look reasonably attractive as a takeover target, and there is plenty of free float to ensure that any takeover approach is unlikely simply to be blocked by vested interests.

After years of shopping at this market, I have my favorite vendors. All grow organically, though some are not certified because they are too small-scale to add the cost of paperwork to their operations. They take care of the land, preserve biodiversity, work far too many hours and deliver explosions of flavor via their fruits and vegetables.
They are satisfying the demands of a growing movement of people wanting to navigate the tricky waters of ethical eating. These are people who want to know how producers are treating workers, animals and the planet. They are looking for claims they can trust and food they can safely eat. They often disagree about what is suitable fare and argue over what can be compromised and what cannot.
What they all have in common is a concern for the quality of food and the impacts of our food systems. A 2010 survey looked at ethical claims that mattered most to food shoppers and how their food purchases were influenced by ethical concerns. They found the definitions of "ethical" to be "broad, flexible and often highly personal."
That means it is not easy to come up with one guide that suits everyone. Ultimately, first-hand knowledge of the people producing our food is the best assurance. However, in our globalized, mechanized world, that is not always possible.
The road to ethical eating is not straight. It has many branches, and every branch has many forks. Vegans, carnivores, vegetarians, ovo-lacto vegetarians, pescatarians, locavores and omnivores often square off over their own particular line in the sand.
If the questions all had easy answers, the choices would be so much simpler. They do not, in spite of our frequent attempts to insist our own perspective is the only ethical stance.
What is important is that we keep posing the questions and that we understand that our food choices are concrete examples of our personal ethics. We have the power to make a difference with every bite.

Louisville, KY: Oct. 16, 2015 – The Great American Rivalry Series is proud to announce it will feature the "Battle for the Barrel" in the "Old Rivalry" between the nationally ranked Louisville Male Bulldogs (HSFB100 #14) and the DuPont Manual Crimsons in the Rivalry Series' tenth weekend of games for 2015. Started in 1893, this is one of the oldest rivalry games in the country and the originating game of the Great American Rivalry Series when the inaugural Series kicked off in 2004. This year, the game will be presented by the United States Army and played on Friday, October 23 at historic Manual Stadium. The game will also be a LIVE BROADCAST on the Rivalry Series Broadcast Network.
For the 12th year, the Great American Rivalry Series has selected an exclusive collection of top-notch rivalries across the country, covering 40 states and over 100 cities throughout the country. Wrapped in tradition, these annual battles excite entire communities, while celebrating the schools, their teams, and their fans. We Know Friday NightsTM
Series founder, Rick Ford, notes, "With all the traditions of these games including bonfires, pep rallies, and parades, high school football has brought communities together to watch their teams compete in these classic battles for more than a century." A Louisville native and a former Crimson team member, Mr. Ford also notes "We are excited to participate once again in the Rivalry game that started it all by highlighting the Male vs Manual matchup." The "Old Rivalry", as it is known, is one of the oldest in the nation, dating back to November 1893.
Manual has registered five state titles and claims two national championships (1925 and 1938, with the 1938 victory seeing the Crimsons receive the award from the National Sports News Service after defeating New Britain, CT in the national championship game held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Early on, the rivalry game with Male was traditionally played on Thanksgiving Day, drawing as many as 10,000 spectators as far back as 1909. The record attendance of 22,000 was set in 1966.
On the other side of the coin, historically, Male is the third winningest football program in the United States. The Bulldogs claim seven state championships in football. In the 2014 matchup, the Crimsons and Bulldogs fought to a 28-21 finish, with Male coming out on top and ending a Manual run of four straight victories in the Series. The all-time record is led by Male at 81-45. Male comes into the game nationally ranked and unbeaten. Manual only has one loss and the 123 year battle continues.
An in-school Rivalry Fitness Challenge will also take place between the two schools during the week leading up to the game. The school that proves to be the fittest will be awarded a crystal trophy at halftime of the game. The winning team on the field earns year-long bragging rights with the Great American Rivalry Series Champions trophy, presented by the Army. The game's Most Valuable Player and the top student-athlete from each school are also recognized as part of the Series.
You can find more information at GreatAmericanRivalry.com or through the Series' Twitter (@AmericanRivalry), Facebook, YouTube and Instagram accounts. Previews and past results will be posted throughout the season with details of the teams and the history of the rivalries, and after the game. Fans can relive the excitement with photo galleries and game recaps.
Fans can add to the intensity of the rivalry via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram using #GreatAmericanRivalry. The Rivalry can also be found on Pinterest (AmericanRivalry) and YouTube. Fan photos posted with this hashtag may be featured on the Great American Rivalry Series website's new Fan Photo Gallery, Pinterest Page and promoted via our other social media outlets.

Had an awesome time playing with lasers, learning about the weirdness that is light*, and hanging out with these cool people at the Lawrence physics workshop in February!
*to quote Feynman: "Now we know how the electrons and light behave. But what can I call it? If I say they behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before (Messenger Lectures, 1964, MIT)."
**speaking of Feynman… definitely check out the book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! It's a compilation of fun conversational anecdotes.

Array.BinarySearch Method (Array, Int32, Int32, Object, IComparer)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public static int BinarySearch( Array array, int index, int length, Object value, IComparer comparer )
- array
- Type: System.Array
The sorted one-dimensional Array to search.
- index
- Type: System.Int32
The starting index of the range to search.
- length
- Type: System.Int32
The length of the range to search.
- value
- Type: System.Object
The object to search for.
- comparer
- Type: System.Collections.IComparer
The IComparer implementation to use when comparing elements.
null to use the IComparable implementation of each element.
Return ValueType: System.Int32
The index of the specified value in the specified array, if value is found. If value is not found and value is less than one or more elements in array, a negative number which is the bitwise complement of the index of the first element that is larger than value. If value is not found and value is greater than any of the elements in array, a negative number which is the bitwise complement of (the index of the last element plus 1).
array is null.
array is multidimensional.
index is less than the lower bound of array.
length is less than zero.
index and length do not specify a valid range in array.
comparer is null, and value is of a type that is not compatible with the elements of array.
comparer is null, value does not implement the IComparable interface, and the search encounters an element that does not implement the IComparable interface.
If the Array does not contain the specified value, the method returns a negative integer. You can apply the bitwise complement operator (~) to the negative result (in Visual Basic, Xor the negative result with -1) to produce an index. If this index is greater than or equal to the size of the array, there are no elements larger than value in the array. Otherwise, it is the index of the first element that is larger than value.
The comparer customizes how the elements are compared. For example, you can use a System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveComparer as the comparer to perform case-insensitive string searches.
If comparer is not null, the elements of array are compared to the specified value using the specified IComparer implementation. The elements of array must already be sorted in increasing value according to the sort order defined by comparer; otherwise, the result might be incorrect.
If comparer is null, the comparison is done using the IComparable implementation provided by the element itself or by the specified value. The elements of array must already be sorted in increasing value according to the sort order defined by the IComparable implementation; otherwise, the result might be incorrect.
If comparer is null and value does not implement the IComparable interface, the elements of array are not tested for IComparable before the search begins. An exception is thrown if the search encounters an element that does not implement IComparable.
Duplicate elements are allowed. If the Array contains more than one element equal to value, the method returns the index of only one of the occurrences, and not necessarily the first one.
null can always be compared with any other reference type; therefore, comparisons with null do not generate an exception when using IComparable. When sorting, null is considered to be less than any other object.
For every element tested, value is passed to the appropriate IComparable implementation, even if value is null. That is, the IComparable implementation determines how a given element compares to null.
This method is an O(log n) operation, where n is length.

Mogai Heavy Warbird
- This article is about the playable ship. For the NPC vessel see Mogai Heavy Warbird (Mob).
+5 engine power
The Mogai Heavy Warbird is a Subcommander (Tier 3) level Warbird.
This vessel was a powerful ship utilized by the Romulan Star Empire towards the end of the 24th Century. The Mogai has an average turn rate and impulse speed, but carries more weapons than the Dhelan and has significantly increased hull strength.
Variants[edit | edit source]
Mogai class[edit | edit source]
Made famous by its appearance in Star Trek: Nemesis, the Mogai strongly resembles a falcon or other Bird-of-Prey. It boasts a massive wingspan with feather patterns along their length, extremely pointed Warp nacelles and a "beak"-like command section.
Valdore class[edit | edit source]
A Refit of the Mogai class, the Valdore has a noticeably more curved and armoured appearance, with a less broad wingspan, a different feather pattern on the wings and more prominent Warp nacelles.
Admiralty Ship[edit | edit source]
|Admiralty Ship
|2.5x Bonus from TAC
Abilities[edit | edit source]
Battle Cloak
The Mogai Heavy Warbird has a battle cloak that allows the player to cloak during combat.
Singularity[edit | edit source]
Romulan Warbirds come with built-in Singularity abilities. These abilities do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Warbirds. These powers build in severity based on the charge built up by the ship's Singularity Core.
Standard Configuration[edit | edit source]
Romulan starships come with standard equipment and weapons of the lowest mark available at the ship's minimum rank. The items provided are appropriate to the type of vessel and its related playing style.
Fore Weapons
Aft Weapons
Comparison with Refit variant[edit | edit source]
|Bridge Officers
|Universal Console

Ladies & Gents,
I need to run a query to find out if there is a certain package, function, store procedure, trigger, by this certain name database? or should I just run the search separately.

Why the hell has the heroic space mission rewards been reduced so much?

We apologize to fans of the new Heroic Space Missions for this oversight and hope that the Credits and Commendations rewarded for the Daily quests are still found desirable enough to overcome the difficulty of these new challenges. Going forward, we will be keeping an active eye on this issue and others like it to make sure players are being rewarded correctly for the amount of effort they put into the game."
As the developer statement says, some of the space missions were not only repeatable multiple times a day, they gave a large amount of credits. Which means farming 12.5k would take merely minutes, allowing for people to attain large sums of credits quickly. This means credit farmers could easily make and sell their credits. It's a little annoying to not have seen any clarification before but understandable in this case.
They had good intentions, yes, but they went too far, they reduced the payoff to
of the previous one. A 50% decrease would've been much more reasonable.

Indonesia is situated on top of the tumultuous Eurasian and Pacific fault line, right in the heart of the ring of fire. With over 400 volcanoes varying in seismic activity and personality, it's understandable why Indonesia is one of the top destinations to see and research volcanic activity at its most terrifying. If you are looking for a high octane, adrenaline filled, sulphuric world travel adventure, then look no further. Indonesia recognises it's potential as a volcanic tourist destination and makes even the most remote volcanoes accessible. All you need to do is find a trustworthy local guide, stock up on your adrenalin and pack your hiking shoes.

Boasting the worlds largest blue fire, most scariest work site and a mesmerising aqua crater lake it is no wonder that this eastern Javanese, emerald coloured site is drawing more and more crowds every year. A steep three hour climb, an early start (expect to be hiking by 3am) and a steep decent will get you front row seats to watch blue flames erupting from the crater. Be prepared for clouds of sulphurous fumes as you wait patiently for sunrise, we strongly recommend bringing something to cover your face.

Isolated and daunting, a trip to Dukono is terrifying and exhilarating, in that order. A two day adventure awaits anyone who dares to take a guided tour to Dukono's crater. One day biking and hiking towards the midpoint along skinny dirt trails and a night camping on its lava field plateau. On the second day you'll be waking up well before dawn to climb to the summit of a roaring volcano as the ground rumbles beneath your feet. The whole point is for you to be able to stare directly into a lava melting pot the size of a football stadium. Oh, and if like us your guide yells "danger!" Then please run.

|АКИpress CA-News Tazabek Turmush
AKIPRESS.COM - Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles says he has been stopped from leaving the country to meet UN officials in New York, BBC reported.
As protests against the leftist government continued in the capital Caracas, he said his passport had been seized at the airport and would not be returned until 2020.
US President Donald Trump has described Venezuela's crisis as a "disgrace".
The US treasury has put eight supreme court members on a financial blacklist.
It called this punishment for undermining the country's democratically elected congress by assuming its powers in late March. A senior official in Washington said further action would be taken if there was no improvement in Venezuela following weeks of worsening instability.
At least 43 people have died in the last seven weeks in violence related to the anti-government protests.
The opposition and the government accuse each other of trying to stage a coup.
"I have not been able to travel," Mr Capriles said in a video posted online. "I will not be able to attend the meeting with the High Commissioner for Human Rights."

Each passing day but nearer brings
The day we'll meet once more.

"I don't think she has to be in front to win," Glatt said. "Nobody really wanted the lead the other day, and she's got good natural speed so she found herself on the front end pretty easily. We were hoping to track the leaders but it was a situation where she found herself on the lead. It wasn't ideal for coming off a layoff, but she ran well."
Elusive Diva has a 3-1-2 record from nine starts with earnings of $221,470 for owners Allen and Susan Branch of Los Gatos and John and Doris Konecny of Enumclaw, Wash. She won the Railbird over 3-year-old fillies at seven furlongs at Hollywood Park in May.

We had a lot of offers (from other riders), but when I talked to Mr. Nielsen (Jeffrey Nielsen, owner of Everest Stables, Inc.) we came up with the decision to use Patrick."Island Fashion, who shoulders top weight of 120 pounds, missed some training time with a quarter crack two weeks ago, but has trained well since, Polanco said.Also in the field is Yearly Report, a graded stakes winner at seven furlongs who was entered in the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff at Santa Anita on Saturday as well the Santa Monica by trainer Bob Baffert.

SIR Jeremy Heywood, the Cabinet Secretary, has been asked by Edinburgh East MP Sheila Gilmore to investigate whether or not Nick Clegg's aide Ryan Coetzee has broken the Whitehall code of conduct for special advisers.
Mr Coetzee is often referred to as the Liberal Democrats' equivalent of the Tories' polling guru Lynton Crosby.
But unlike Mr Crosby, Mr Coetzee is paid his £110,000 salary, the highest of Mr Clegg's special advisers or spads, from public funds.
Loading article content
His official title is director of strategy and he spends much of his time advising the deputy prime minister on how his party can boost poll ratings. The party insists Mr Coetzee fully complies with the special advisers' code of conduct. It explained his role entailed ensuring all Coalition messages strictly reflected Lib Dems' priorities. "He is a special adviser so he is paid out of public funds. The salaries are all transparent and published on the Internet," said a spokesman.
But Ms Gilmore pointed to the code, which stresses spads "should not use official resources for party political activity".
"If Mr Coetzee is working on issues concerning the Liberal Democrats' election strategy rather than the objectives of the Cabinet Office, where he is employed on the public payroll, this would appear a breach of the code," wrote the Labour backbencher. She added: "It would rightly be extremely concerning if the Liberal Democrats were exploiting public resources and the important role played by special advisers to further party political interests rather than Government objectives."

Highlighting themes that film and television have tackled in the past, Underground is a fresh and thrilling escape odyssey emblematic of the thousands of real-life journeys that shaped American history.
In the first season, a case of mistaken identity strips freeman Noah (Aldis Hodge) of his liberty, and he's believed to be a runaway slave. But when Noah discovers a coded map, which reveals a route north via the Underground Railroad, he assembles a team of fellow slaves who combine their unique strengths to plan an escape. There's Zeke (Theodus Crane) the strongman, an inscrutable preacher and orator named Moses (Mykelti Williamson), a woodworker named Sam (Johnny Ray Gill), and the unshakably loyal Henry (Renwick Scott). Complicating matters is a budding love interest between Noah, and the beautiful Rosalee (Jurnee Smollett-Bell). Lastly, there's the devious Cato (Alano Miller), who once appeared to be in the pocket of the masters, but is now just as determined as the rest to successfully escape—and he's willing to do anything to achieve his aims.
Underground's accompanying soundtrack is also a big reason to tune in. It's so charged with energy, that it rivals the show's riveting on-screen performances and plot twists penned by Heroes alumnae Misha Green and Joe Pokaski. Influenced by John Legend (who serves as one of the show's executive producers), the soundtrack features the anachronistic sounds of artists like Kanye West, Zack Hemsey, The Weeknd, Great Wolf, Jamie N Commons, X Ambassadors, and The Electric Owls.
If you haven't watched the first season of Underground, make sure to get caught up and catch new Season 2 episodes Wednesdays at 10/9c on WGN America (Ch. 307).

To tie a knot for a necklace, use a surgical knot, which loops under itself twice, and add a bit of fabric cement to keep the silk cord from fraying. Tie a secure knot when making a necklace from cording with instructions from a beading teacher in this free video on beading.
Video transcription
Hello, my name is Leonardo Martinez with Legendary Beads in Austin. Today I'm going to show you how to tie a knot for a necklace. Today I have silk cord, and what you want to do is make a knot, it's called a surgical knot which loops back to twice, pull tight towards the end, nice knot, cut close. Taking your bead tip, which is your hook and any nut cup, which will catch your knot on the end. What I like to do is add a little bit of GS fabric cement, place it on the end, just to keep the fabric from fraying, then put in your hook through your clasp. Important note, close your hook, covering your cup over your hook. And this is how you tie a knot for a necklace.


text: I'm a realllll rookie when it comes to watches, don't really know about brands and pricing. But, I was looking for a yellow gold watch or also white gold under $200 if that's possible at all. Nice looking and some kind of quality since I'm assuming better ones are probably $500-$1,000+. Again I don't really know anything about watches but if someone can put me on to some websites or local stores, it'd be appreciated!

Tacoma Symphony and Regina Yeh fill the Rialto Theater with rich strings and gossamer piano threads.
The Tacoma Symphony has decided to do a couple of its season concerts in the Rialto Theater every year – and it's an excellent decision. Yesterday's concert of Chopin, Barber and Mendelssohn, with an appetizer of Michael Torke's "Ash," showed beyond doubt that this chocolate-box Tacoma theater highlights every minute of effort an orchestra puts in, unlike the acoustically dead Pantages, and the TSO made the most of the space with a richness of sound that made most of the program shine.
Most, that is. Unfortunately, the Torke sounded more like an under-rehearsed piece that nobody was terribly convinced …

Chappaqua man admits to $20M larceny scheme, DA says
A Chappaqua man has admitted to defrauding a pianist and composer of $20 million in a scheme that included tales of international intrigue and threats to the victim's livelihood, all based in a fiction about a computer virus.
When the computer of Roger Davidson, 60, became infected with a virus in 2004, he took it to Mount Kisco-based Datalink Computer Products, where the company's owner, Vickram Bedi, told Davidson the virus was particularly dangerous, according to the Westchester district attorney's office.
Davidson is a musician whose family founded the oil conglomerate Schlumberger.
"This defendant, over a six-year period, preyed upon, schemed and manipulated his victim in ways that epitomize a cold calculating con man," District Attorney Janet DiFiore said after the defendant's guilty plea.
According to authorities, Bedi, 38, led Davidson to believe that he had tracked the source of the virus to a remote village in Honduras, eventually embroidering his story to include threats made against Davidson by Polish priests affiliated with Opus Dei and surveillance of Davidson by the Central Intelligence Agency.
Meanwhile, Bedi convinced Davidson to start paying, not only for computer data retrieval, but also for personal security, DiFiore's office said. At the same time, Bedi began regularly charging Davidson's American Express credit card accounts, using the money to purchase real estate in Mount Kisco and various other investments, said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the district attorney's office.
The Harrison Police Department was tipped off to the scam in July 2010, when associates of Davidson's caught up in his business dealings with Bedi alerted authorities, Chalfen said.
Bedi and his ex-girlfriend, Helga Invarsdottir, 41, also of Chappaqua, were arrested in November of that year.
"The systematic method with which the defendant continued the larceny over a period of years, along with the sizable amount of money that was stolen, was nothing short of Machiavellian," DiFiore said.
Invarsdottir was charged with one count of first-degree grand larceny and one count of second-degree grand larceny, the release said.
Bedi, who admitted to the scam late Tuesday, was charged with one count of grand first-degree larceny. Authorities have seized anything that was purchased with the stolen money, Chalfen said.
Both are to be sentenced in January.
A message left for Bedi's Ossining-based attorney, Anthony Giordano, was not immediately returned Wednesday.

A photo contributed by our pal Jaka Setia who had a chance of staying at the luxurious Komaneka Resorts at Bisma, Ubud. (Can't help thinking what a lucky b*stard he is!) It's a view you can expect at the resort located on the hillside by the famous Campuhan River. Swimming at the infinity pool, Read More

Stroll down Ubud roads, Bali, and you will see a lot of this. Rice paddies on your right and left, enjoy the view while walking, driving, or biking like we did. The crop is harvested 3 times a year and exported, making one of the locals' source of income. Things are done manually, and look how neat they line up the paddies.

Anyone who's been to Ubud must have at least driven past Murni's Warung. Anyone who hasn't, most probably have at least skimmed through it on the What To Eat section in Lonely Planet guide book. If none of the above applies to you, well then..in what traveling universe are you living in?? Nah..just kidding! Let me introduce you to Murni's Warung through my afternoon talk with its owner and founder herself, Ibu Murni.

Well, Spring will hit us in no time, so why not have a look at the new trends this Spring, bought to us by the most fashionable lifestyle brand Iconic.
