Daily News blogger Liz Benjamin wrote yesterday that "Vintage Rudy" had surfaced in Minnesota this week, lecturing a reporter "who dared asked him a question he found offensive." The question involved 17-year-old Bristol Palin's pregnancy, which Giuliani aggressively declared off-limits, calling it a "personal issue that the family is handling in the most appropriate way."
But the former Mayor was not always so reluctant to discuss parental responsibilities.
When police fired 17 times in 1998 at 16-year-old Michael Jones, who was riding his bike and brandishing a toy gun on a Brooklyn street, Giuliani blamed Jones's parents. He attacked them at a press conference even while their son, who was hit six times, lay in a hospital bed in critical condition.
"Adult supervision would have prevented the gun," Giuliani declared. "It would also have prevented him from being out at 2:30 in the morning for whatever purpose, and I don't think the purpose for which he was out was a salutary one." There was no evidence that Jones, who survived, was involved in any criminal activity.
Giuliani similarly condemned the family of another 16-year-old black youth, Dante Johnson, who was grabbed by a cop through the window of his patrol car and shot in the abdomen in 1999. The cops said Johnson and a friend appeared to have a gun, though neither did. "There appear to be facts that would explain and justify what happened here, including the actions of these men–what are they–16-year-olds out at 12:30 in the morning?" concluded the mayor. Giuliani's police commissioner was more direct: "I believe families should wonder about kids hanging out at 12:30 in large groups." The cop who shot Johnson was convicted of negligent assault.
More famously, Giuliani engaged in repeated smears of an unarmed black man killed by the cops, Patrick Dorismond, even improperly releasing his sealed juvenile record, which contained an arrest for robbery when he was 13 years old. He did not note that the robbery charge was dropped before it ever went to a judge. Giuliani did not, however, explicitly attack Dorismond's parents, as he did Johnson and Jones.
Yesterday, Giuliani responded to the Palin inquiry by saying: "You should be ashamed of yourself, asking that question." Observing repeatedly that the family was dealing with it as "other American families have had to handle this," he declared: "We'd be a better country if this was a thing where there was sort of an internal mechanism when journalists, and the journalistic community, said 'well, these are things we don't give a lot of emphasis to.'"
Giuliani is scheduled to deliver the keynote at tonight's GOP convention. Neither of his own children are expected to attend.

On Saturday, November 3 about 20 kids and grownups came and spread woodchips to expand the footprint of the Palace of Nature.
The extension is behind the bench towards the west.
The extension means that there is less grass for parks to mow and more area of the palace of nature to expand into.
Clare and Sophia created signs for the kiosk near the playground.
Several people ventured into Wet Meadow II to collect seeds.

The Green Bay Packers have won the NFC North five times in the last six seasons and as training camp sets to open in a couple weeks, they are the favorite to win it once again.
However, in recent years, the North has gotten tougher and tougher. The Detroit Lions, who have made three playoff appearances since 2011, have been on the rise, as have the Minnesota Vikings, who actually won the division crown in 2015.
The Bears … well as we all know, still aren't very good, I won't say they suck (whoops just did) and they look a year or two away from becoming an actual threat. So that leaves the Lions and the Vikings, two playoff-caliber teams, as the biggest threats to dethrone Green Bay as division champs.
The Lions, it seems, have been knocking on the door of a division title for years, they just can't seem to breakthrough. In 2013, when Aaron Rodgers was injured, they had a prime opportunity, only to blow it and allow the Packers to steal it at the end, thanks to Rodgers Week 17 game-winner in Chicago to Randall Cobb.
In 2015, the Lions put together a very good campaign and even met Green Bay for the division title in Week 17, only to fall short at Lambeau Field, despite Rodgers hobbling on an injured ankle.
And last season, the Lions built a big lead in the standings (three games up with three to go), only to choke and see Rodgers and the Packers win the crown at Ford Field in Week 17 as the "run the table" prediction was fulfilled.
At some point, based purely on chance, you would think Detroit would win this division. Yet, as long as Rodgers is around and has something to say about, it's going to be difficult. However, the Lions defense is solid and Matt Stafford has grown into a legit franchise quarterback.
The Lions are a legitimate threat to the Packers in the NFC North, but only if they improve. Last season, despite going 9-7, they had a point differential of -22, which means they won some close games, but were far from a dominant or even a good team.
A five-game winning streak got them to 9-4. Then, Detroit lost its last three games, four if you count the playoffs and that was that.
The Lions have to learn how to avoid collapses and how to win big games, until that happens, they are a threat to Green Bay, but not as serious as Minnestoa.
In terms of defense, the Viking have the best in the division. Harrison Smith, Anthony Barr, Eric Kendricks, Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Linval Joseph and Xavier Rhodes are some of the key names on that side of the ball. And they are only getting better.
On top of having one of the best defenses in the NFL, the Vikings also have a quarterback. Sam Bradford set an NFL record in completion percentage last season (71.6) and with the continued development of weapons like Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen and Laquon Treadwell (2016 first-round pick), plus the addition of running back Dalvin Cook, the offense could be scary.
Of course the offensive line still has question marks. But tight end Kyle Rudolph is another big weapon in the passing game and with Cook, the running game should experience a resurgence.
Beyond that, the Vikings have already won the NFC North title recently. Head coach Mike Zimmer has made beating the Packers his number one goal and his team has bought into that.
And after beating the Packers in Week 17 of the 2015 season for the division title and starting 5-0 last year, it looked like the North might be Minnesota's for a second straight year.
Yet, the Vikings collapsed, even worse than Detroit, finishing the season 3-8 and losing 38-22 at Lambeau in Week 16 in a game that wasn't even that close.
However, in terms of 2017, the Vikings appear poised to rebound and if there is one team in the North the Packers should fear above all others, it's Minnesota.
With a dominant defense, a steady quarterback and a rookie-of-the-year candidate at running back, the Vikings have potential, the question is, will they be able to live up to it?

As it's December and Christmas will all be over in less than a week, I (of course) watched the British classic 'Love Actually'. It is one of my all time favourite films. Every time I watch it I find a new favourite part. This year round the part that stuck out to me is from the very beginning. The part that is usually spent rushing to make a cup of tea or a quick trip to the toilet. I always knew that the start of the film had a pretty special quote, but after this horrid year it really hit me. This is what Hugh Grant says in the opening scene.
''Whenever I get gloomy at the state of the world I think of the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport. General opinions starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. Seems to me that love is everywhere, often its not particularly dignified or news worthy but its always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge they were all messages of love. If you look for it I've got a sneaky feeling that you'll find that love, actually is all around''
(In which Billy Mack then sings a Christmas rendition of Wet Wet Wet's Love Is All Around).
Love Actually was made in 2003. 12/13 years later I think the world has become far more sinister. Horrid things happen everyday. Social media has too much control. It is so easy to send out hateful messages online and we're all so pessimistic. But then I think that it's because people look for negativity. People all have things to say about things that are unimportant. There is not much more to say about it really, because I mean, he says it all. Love is there. If you look for it you'll find it. Because love is everywhere, you can see it, hear it, feel it. It's like my post before where I spoke about making more effort with the people we love. (chloedurant.blogspot.co.ukl)
Love is, actually all around (puns).

Thanks for reading & Merry Christmas.

Fountain, Gift of the Class of 1883
Class of '83 Fountain, likely when new. In the background, Prof. W. S. Holdsworth sits facing the 1882 addition to the Chemical Laboratory, which he designed. Photo Credit: M.S.U. Archives.
The Class of 1883 raised $250 to purchase this fountain, which it presented to the College in a ceremony on August 13, 1883. Eight feet, four inches in height, with a pool measuring twenty feet in diameter, it was located just east of the Botany greenhouses, south of the Chemical Laboratory.[Beal, p. 244]
When the Main Library construction began in 1955, the central statuary was moved to the Demonstration Gardens southeast of the Horticulture Building ("Old Hort"). The basin was "made of a soft stone and was so badly eroded after more than seventy-two years" that it could not be salvaged. A fountain is still in operation in the pool directly behind the Student Services building, but the original statue has long been removed. The gift's current status is unknown to this author.[Lautner, pp. 55–56]

Kent 11 Plus
The Schools Admissions Code, that came into effect in 2012, stated that by law, schools must take all reasonable steps to inform parents of the outcome of tests before the closing deadline for the Common Application form (CAF) on October 31st.
Kent is the largest remaining grammar school area in the country, with 35 wholly selective grammar schools and four partially selective schools. Cranbrook School is the only school whose point of entry is at age 13 (year 9); however the school has decided to allocate 30 places for entry in Year 7 for day places only. This will take effect in September 2016.
The Dover Grammar schools have their own test (the Dover Test) and The Folkestone School also has it's own test (the Shepway test). Tests are in Verbal Reasoning and Non-verbal Reasoning and tests in KS2 National Curriculum Maths and English. These schools also accept applicants who pass the Kent test. It is not necessary to pass both. The Folkestone School for Girls tends to be under-subscribed and a large proportion of their intake are from appeals.
Parents in Kent face a considerable challenge when completing their CAF (Common Application Form). The Admissions Criteria for schools differ for almost every school in the County and must be studied extremely carefully by prospective parents.
Some schools known as the "super-selectives" allocate places by score, but there may be geographic limits imposed as well. Other schools use distance or parish boundaries as the main criterion for admission. Schools that do not use score to allocate places may have rules about siblings taking priority. (It is illegal under the school Admissions Code to use score to allocate places and give priority to siblings.)
In previous years, the Kent and Medway test results were transferable. Candidates only had to sit one test even if they were applying to schools in the two counties. The tests now are kept separate.
Mayfield Grammar School admits girls through the Mayfield procedure where girls have been unsuccessful in the Kent testing procedure. If parents wish their daughter to take the Mayfield tests in addition to the Kent test they will need to obtain a registration form directly from the school. Testing will take place on Saturday 9th September 2017.
The assessment tests will compromise:
- of a computer based test which will assess verbal ability, numerical reasoning and non-verbal reasoning.
- An English paper to assess reading and writing skills (not computer based and not multiple choice).
Full details of the admissions criteria for all Kent schools can be found on the Kent County Council website.
We strongly recommend that, once you have a shortlist of your preferred schools, you research very carefully whether your child would have gained admission in previous years. Either Kent Admissions or the individual schools may be able to provide you with further information if you are unsure. Even that is no guarantee of future success, but it should at least ensure that your school choices are as realistic as possible.

|Test Types
|The Kent test involves 2 papers multiple choice format, with a separate answer sheet.
The first test will be an English and Maths paper, 1 hour long split into two sections. The first section is English and the second section is Maths. Each section has a 5 minute practice exercise and 25 minute test. The English section will involve a comprehension exercise and additional questions to test literacy skills. For example, questions containing a sentence with a word missing or questions asking you to spot the mistake in a sentence.
The maths test will contain questions covering topics taught up to the start of year 6. A small number of questions might be a little more difficult.
|Second test is a reasoning paper which has three sections;
verbal reasoning (ability to think using words and symbols
non-verbal reasoning (the ability to think about the relationship between shapes and patterns.
spatial reasoning (how well you can manipulate shapes and space in your head)
The verbal reasoning section consists of a 10 minute practice test and 20 minutes test. The non-verbal and spatial reasoning sections are divided into smaller timed subtests taking 4-5 minutes each
|Writing exercise of 40 minutes which includes 10 minutes of planning time. This will only be marked when looking at borderline cases, appeal.

Kent Raw Scores in 2010
Our thanks go to our 11+ Forum member "committed" for making a Freedom of Information request to Kent County Council to obtain the following information.
The table below shows the raw score (i.e. number of questions) a child needed to answer on the 2010 papers in order to achieve a final standardised score of either 120 or 140, depending on their age at the time of testing. The numbers will vary by a few percentage points each year, and they are therefore only a rough guideline.
|Age at time of testing:
|10 years old
|10 years 6 months
|11 years old
|10 years old

|58/80 (73%)
|61/80 (76%)

|27/50 (54%)
|38/50 (76%)
|39/50 (78%)
|40/50 (80%)
The Kent Appeals System
Kent is unusual in operating a system of "Head teacher reviews". A review can be submitted if a child has not qualified on score but was close to the pass mark or the Head teacher believes that the result was not representative of the child's ability. The reviews take place before parents receive their child's results.
The Head will submit a short report and samples of work which are then reviewed by a panel consisting of Primary and Secondary Head teachers or Deputy Heads. The review may result in the 11+ score being overturned and the child being deemed qualified.
If your child does not qualify, the Head does not seek a review or if the review is unsuccessful you still have the right to have your child's case heard by an Independent Appeals Panel.
It is important that Kent parents who are also applying for grammar school places for their child at schools in Medway realise that the Review systems in Kent and Medway are entirely different. A failed review in Kent does not preclude you from asking for a full hearing in front of an Independent Appeal Panel, and submitting any evidence you wish to. In Medway the evidence you can present to a panel after a failed review is very much more limited.
For advice on how to prepare for an appeal please look at our Appeals Q&As

Newt Gingrich finished in fourth place in last night's Iowa Caucuses - and he's steaming about it.
Gingrich didn't drop out. Something about the way Romney wins rubs his opponents the wrong way. So instead of calling it quits, Gingrich rose to his Des Moines podium like a wounded adolescent and gave one of the most petulant political speeches ever delivered.
He denounced his opponents for their negative attacks on him, and then vowed to "tell the truth" about his opponents. He promised a debate that would clarify the choice between a "Reagan conservative" like himself, or "a Massachusetts moderate who, in fact, will be pretty good at managing the decay but has given no evidence in his years in Massachusetts of any ability to change the culture, or change the political structure, or change the government?"
Gingrich also took time to denounce Ron Paul's foreign policy as "dangerous" to the very survival of the American nation.
So Newt is going to launch himself at Mitt Romney, in the same way that Mike Huckabee did four years ago. The best result for Gingrich would be that in attacking Romney he revives his campaign. But it seemed clear that destroying Romney would be satisfying enough for him.

Coordinates & Portal Addresses are the way we navigate to specific points in No Man's Sky, but unless you know exactly how they work they can be very confusing and kind of useless to you. There are various tools around to help you make things easier, but if you fully understand how the system works it is quite useful and satisfying to know you can meet up with friend, go and see that awesome planet everyone is talking about or find that S class exotic that spawns in so very few systems and be the one to gift it's location to the world. We'll start with coordinates, a 16 character alphanumeric code that is split into 4 parts of 4, you know it's a coordinate, but how does that translate to an X, Y, Z. Firstly, the parts are in order X, Y, Z and then System Number. The X, Y, and Z refer to a region in space, these regions have names on the galactic map such as Shungka Void, which is one of the Euclid Galactic Hub official Regions.
The Regions then have multiple Star Systems within, usually a few hundred and that is what the last part refers to. The regions defined by the X, Y & Z coordinates being the same as the named regions is a logical jump I have made, I have not confirmed this, whether this is correct or not does not make any difference when staring at the numbers, but would specifically matter when attempting to locate a specific system index on the in-game galactic map using the named region as a control. It is quite logical to assume that this code refers to a specific planet, but it does not, it refers to the system only, each system then has a sub-coordinate system basing itself on the planets within it and not the overall space, but we'll get to that shortly, first, we need to know what the coordinates Alphanumeric code actually is.
That brings us to Hexidecimals… Hexidecimal, also known as Hex or Base 16 is a numerical system. To compare it to the decimal system of 0-9 having 10 characters, the Hexidecimal system has 16, with 0-9 then additionally A, B, C, D, E and F which represent 10 to 15. As far as why it's used instead of the system that just about the entire world is fluent with, it's pretty much a case of ease. Hex is far more user-friendly to deal with for programmers as each hex character represents 4 binary characters, 4 binary characters is a bit, a byte is 2 bits, meaning a byte is 8 binary characters or only 2 hex characters. That's enough for why they use it, now how do you read it? Well you now know what each hex character represents, that's easy, the annoying part is translating a multiple character string of hexadecimal to decimal.
We'll start with a super simple 2 digit hex code of 6D to introduce you to the system then move to a much larger string. For 6D we'll take the last character and work backward as you would with decimal, this is D. D represents the number 13 you then multiply 13 or D by 16 to the power of 0. A power is a multiplicative of itself, so 16 to the power of 2 (or 16 x 16) is 256, 16 to the power of 10 (or 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 x 16) is 1,099,511,627,776 (which is interesting, as it is how many bytes are in a Terabyte), when 16 to the power of 0 is introduced in hexadecimal it is considered to be 1.
This simplifies our last character being D as 13 multiplied by 1, so the first character is 13. This seems like a big waste of time to bother translating the lowest character past turning D to 13, but it will help to introduce the system. The previous character is 6, this, of course, represents 6 in hex, but as it is the second to last character you must multiply this by 16 to the power of 1, which is 6 multiplied by 16. 6 multiplied by 16 is 96. Now we've translated the individual characters, you just sum the results up and you have your translation, as 13 plus 96 is 109, so 6D equals 109. So let's do a huge number and I'll just randomly think of one… 3A7B55C204 You just know this is going to be ridiculous, but fun, so if you feel you have a basic grasp, pause the screen and do the translation, feel free to use a calculator to help with the individual powers and sums…
So let's do this, super speedy style. 4 multiplied by 16 to the power of 0 is 4 0 multiplied by 16 to the power of 1 is 0 2 multiplied by 16 to the power of 2 is 512 C multiplied by 16 to the power of 3 is 49,152 5 multiplied by 16 to the power of 4 is 327,680 5 multiplied by 16 to the power of 5 is 5,242,880 B multiplied by 16 to the power of 6 is 184,549,376 7 multiplied by 16 to the power of 7 is 1,879,048,192 A multiplied by 16 to the power of 8 is 42,949,672,960 3 multiplied by 16 to the power of 9 is 206,158,430,208 Then to sum it up; 4 + 0 + 512 + 49,152 + 327,680 + 5,242,880 + 184,549,376 + 1,879,048,192 + 42,949,672,960 + 206,158,430,208 Equals 251,177,320,964 If you compare that to the original Hex string, and then even Oct or Binary, the string is nice and short with Hex. Now that you know how to translate Hexadecimal strings into Decimal, let's take a look at the coordinates you've got in front of you. As the example, we'll use my home system. WHUE:044B:0081:0D58:0096 For anyone who is unsure, to get this data string, simply place a signal booster anywhere on a planet in your system of choice and it will display the coordinates. The first part is 4 or 5 letters and I have not been able to figure this out, I theorize it is mapping coordinate for the planet location either in the system or the planet itself.
Either way, it changes based on where you place it, you are limited to 1 signal booster per location, the location is not defined by a perimeter around the booster placed but a specific small region on the planet, I suspect this is a 3D grid of sorts. The fact that it changes based on where you place it, as well as when removing and replacing in the same place the code is the same but when removing and placing just to the side but still within the defined region limit is different has me boggled, the area defines this limit, not the booster, but the area covers more than a sub-region defined by the code.
If anyone has information on this, I would be very grateful. *Coming back to this during the edit, I have thought of another possibility, it could very well be merely an ID that is randomised using the location you place it as the Random Number Generator, by doing this you would have less processes, not many less, but less, and this would account for the ID being the same if you replace a signal booster in the same location. The second part is the X coordinate, the third part is the Y coordinate and the 4th part is the Z coordinate, leaving the 5th part, as the System Index.
If we now ignore the first ALPHA string and translate the remaining 4 hex parts we get x1099:y129:z3416:s150 You then need to apply a shift, this makes the Galactic Core 0,0,0 For X and Z the Shift is -2047 and for Y the shift is -127 So if we apply this shift we get x-948:y2:z1369:s150 This gives us the Galactic Coordinates, this is how your coordinates are listed in your save files, they use the shift, I imagine this is to apply effects and modifiers based on distance to the core like higher chances of planet biome types or ship slot count etc, but of course, this is just logical speculation.
Hexidecimal code doesn't work too well with negative figures so this explains the implementation of a shift, to begin with. Before we get to turning galactic coordinates into a Portal address and vice versa, there are a few useful things to bear in mind regarding the size of the galaxies in No Man's Sky. Each Galaxy is 4096 by 256 by 4096, as far as Data goes it is a cuboid, various images of the corners of the galaxy has been observed to see a solid barrier. Each of these points is a region containing 512 systems, the regions are defined by an 8 by 8 by 8 grid, though none of these regions and systems are equally spaced in the galactic map, so this is a purely BTS data appearance, I theorise the galactic map uses a simple modifier to give you funky shaped region and different distances resulting in clusters of systems that shine brightly giving you a more realistic feel when traversing the galaxy.
So there are a maximum Trillion systems in each galaxy Each system has the ability to contain 15 planets, why not 16? well the first hexadecimal is 0 and it does not play a role in noting a planet, it is the space stations planetary index, it is also the index noted when in your freighter, I suspect it uses the space stations location to define your and the freighters location. While there could be a potential 15, I have never confirmed more than 6 planets or moons within a system, a moon, of course, is just considered a planet with regard to the index. I seem to remember seeing more than 6 in some systems but I cannot confirm this. You may wonder where the 18 Quintillion number came from, I did write a whole big thing going through the numbers of what we actually have and tbh it was long winded and kinda pointless. The reality is that we don't have that many planets, the potential for that is there, kind of, the number comes from there being a potential 2 to the 64th seeds, so Quintillion unique planetary possibilities.
There are a suspected 256 different universes, it is tough to find fully reliable confirmation on this being the maximum, but it is thought to be. Now for Portal Addresses… A portal address is a 12 character string comprised of a combination of 16 different glyphs. If you didn't know before, you have probably realized after our extensive bout into hex code that each symbol represents a hexadecimal character. The glyphs are always in order where ever you look from 0 to F, sunset being 0 and Pythagoras being F, forgive my assigned names to the glyphs, hopefully, they won't be too confusing. A Portal address holds all of the information that a galactic coordinate hold except with the addition of the Planetary Index allowing you to pinpoint a specific planet within a specific system within a specific region of a galaxy. It is not currently possible to use the gates to travel between galaxies, but that would be a beautiful feature to add in the future maybe having very rare planets holding special portal that can do this, I would love for them to make it one per region, so 1 in 512, theoretically, which if you add the number of planets would make finding one a very big deal and many people would converge to those points.
It's also worth noting that a 14 symbol address would be required for this. Right, Back to the addresses. They are broken up into 5 parts, the first symbol is the planet index, the second third and fourth symbols are the system index, the 5th and 6th symbols are the Y coordinate, the 7th, 8th and 9th symbols are the Z coordinate and the 10th, 11th and 12th symbols are the X coordinate. The first symbol being the planetary coordinate is super simple, as we covered earlier, the space station or general system is regarded as the 0 index which means the first glyph cannot be used to pinpoint a portal in the first symbol of the address, if you do select the Sunset glyph as the first symbol of the 12, the connection will error and then send you to the first planet by default which is denoted by the 2nd glyph which is 1 in hex.
So to simplify, Bird is the first planet, Face is the second, so when picking the planet index for addresses, just count along the glyphs and add 1. For the rest of the address, we learned earlier how to get your galactic coordinates to decimal form and apply the shift, well to gain a portal address is a slightly different method and shift. If we use my home planet as the example; Ignoring the planet index for the moment, we get x044B:y0081:z0D58:s0096 We then don't translate this to decimal at all, the calculations for this are done in Hex, you could do it in decimal like I have had to for the calculations on my tools but it requires more steps.
We add a shift of 801 to the X and Z coordinates and 81 to the Y, remember that this shift is also Hex, if you convert those for laughs they are similar to the decimal shifts added to find the decimal coordinates except you apply 2 more to each shift as it is a sort of backwards shift. So if we apply this shift we get x0C4C:y0102:z1559:s0096 Then we must rearrange those parts, put the system index first, the Y next, the Z after that then the X last s0096:y0102:z1559:x0C4C Then we need to shorten them a little, and it will seem somewhat illogical to remove more than just the initial 0 padding. Take the system index to 3 characters, the Y coordinate to 2, then the z and x coordinates to 3, which will give us 096:02:559:C4C You may wonder why we got rid of the 1 from both the Y and Z coordinates, well, due to the shift, there is no overlap due to the scope of the galaxy, so this is not a problem.
Then we add the portal number, which is the planet index, I've seen a very helpful post on Nexusmods warn to not confuse the 2 but in all of my experience fiddling around and testing this stuff I have seen no difference between the planet index and portal number. Put the Planet index as a single character at the front; 3:096:02:559:C4C Then just remove the colons and convert each individual character to a glyph using this handy decoder, either that or count from the first and minus 1, Sunset is 0, Commie-Moon is 4, Pythagoras is F etc etc and you get this… Diplo, Sunset, Swirly, Boat, Sunset, Face, Waypoint, Waypoint, Swirly, Teepee, Commie-Moon, Teepee Which is my Home planet address, feel free to pop by and say hello or leave a comms station btw, the comms station you can see a waypoint for from the portal is my base.
To get the galactic coordinate from a portal address is not as simple as reversing it due to those numbers we got rid of earlier. Simply decode the glyph sequence; 309602559C4C Break those up into 1, 3, 2, 3 and 3 3:096:02:559:C4C Now we need to recover those lost digits in a way that could be consistently applied across the board otherwise you won't get the correct result. So follow this rule, for the Y coordinate which is the 3rd part as we have it broken up here, if it is 80 or below, then apply a 1 in front making it 180, for the Z and X coordinate which are the last 2 parts, if it is 800 or below, apply a 1 in front making it 1800 at most.
This is because, say for the Y coordinate, we are limited to 2 characters but the highest Y coordinate possible in the No Man's Sky galaxy with the portal address shift applied is 180, so the 1 must be dropped, and the lowest is 81, so if it is 80 or below, then it must require the 1 in front, the same reason just with an extra character applies to the Z and X. Remember that this whole process of the portal address translation so far has been in hex even though we're mostly talking with 81 and 801 as the shifts etc, it is easy to forget that 81 in hex is very different in decimal being 129. If we apply this rule we get 3:096:102:1559:C4C Then drop the first part as that is the planetary index and not included in a galactic address giving you. 096:102:1559:C4C let's apply the shift next, So take the Y coordinate which is the second part and subtract 81, remembering that this is still all hex, then take the Z and X coordinates which are the 3rd and 4th parts respectively and subtract 801, which gives us this; s0096:y81:zD58:x44B Then pad the parts, this is just adding a zero before the number to make each part 4 characters, be sure to pad them in front so as to not change the value of the strings, this gives us; s0096:y0081:z0D58:x044B Then lastly, rearrange the coordinates so they are in the required order for a Galactic Coordinate, which is X, Y, Z, system index; x044B:y0081:z0D58:s0096 And there you have it, the original coordinate we started with, once you have this from a portal you can apply the previous translation we did before to turn a Galactic Hex Coordinate into a decimal coordinate which can be used to see your location in a visible spectrum or even edit your save file if you're into that kind of thing.
If you've made it this far, I applaud you, while this is an interesting subject, especially so to me, I have found myself often exhausted wrapping my head around everything over the past few months, it seems the internet does not have all of this information in one place and it's explanations are not in tune with my mind, I hope this has been at least somewhat viable to comprehend. Now, before you head off and take a painkiller for the headache you likely have, while this is interesting and very useful for the travellers of NMS, for the day to day calculations you'll likely want something easier on the brain, so I've done my usual thing and made a few calculators on Xainesworld.com.
You can find a quick Hexidecimal to Decimal calculator at xainesworld.com/hex As well as a Calculator which gives you all the information like Decimal Coordinates, Portal Address, and Galactic HEX coordinates for a Hex Coordinate, Portal Address or Decimal Coordinate. Whichever you have it will show you all the rest, at xainesworld.com/galacticcalc All the links can be found in the description. Thank you for watching folks, if this helped you be sure to hit that like button and share with your fellow travelers, subscribe if you haven't already and maybe think about checking out my Patreon, a dollar a month is a great way to support the channel and my work such as this. But above all, have an awesome day folks.

Looks like the Configuration Manager content writers posted their October updates last Friday so in case you missed the announcement here's the skinny:
The following information lists the topics that contain significant changes since the August 2009 update.
Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 Supported Configurations - Updated to include Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
Supported Operating Systems and Hard Disk Configurations for Operating System Deployment - Updated with information about the operating systems that are not supported and those which can be deployed only by first capturing a Windows installation image (.wim) file using an image capture task sequence.
Supported Mobile Devices - Updated to remove information about supported mobile device client operating systems so that it is now exclusively in supported configuration topics (Configuration Manager 2007 Supported Configurations). This means that customers have a consistent place to find supported version information and it reduces the risk of inconsistent information between topics.
About Heartbeat Discovery - Updated to remove the incorrect information "Although you can configure Heartbeat Discovery to update client DDRs as frequently as you want, if you configure it to run less than once every 25 hours (the default client refresh cycle) the updated DDR will be reported no less than once every 25 hours". This restriction applied to an earlier version of the product and does not apply to Configuration Manager.
About the Site Repair Wizard and How to Back Up a Secondary Site - Updated with the information that the Site Repair Wizard should not be used to recover a secondary site. The Product Group has confirmed that the recovery procedure doesn't work for secondary sites and will not be supported. If you need to recover a secondary site, reinstall it and secondary site configuration from the primary site will be replicated to it automatically when installation is complete. Because restoring a secondary site is not supported with the product, there is no point in backing up a secondary site by using the Backup Secondary Site Server maintenance task. To help avoid confusion, we have removed the procedural information in How to Back Up a Secondary Site.
For all the details about what's new see http://blogs.technet.com/configmgrteam/archive/2009/10/23/announcement-configuration-manager-documentation-library-update-for-october-2009.aspx.

For the Yankees, 2009 was a very, very good year. The team won a Major League-leading 103 games. Then, they went 11-4 throughout the postseason and ended the year with a parade through the Canyon of Heroes. The Old Guard pulled out a fifth ring, and the newcomers and mid-decade interlopers did their thing too. With that 27th championship wrapped up, we were in an Empire State of Mind throughout the fall.
Last year on this date, I presented the top ten most popular RAB posts of the year, and so I offer it up again. Even as the Yanks won the World Series, our readers craved rumors, rumors and even more rumors.
1. Updated Yankees 2009 payroll information
Our most popular post of the year was one written in February. Joe analyzed the Yanks' 2009 payroll and the team's long-term salary commitments as well. Apparently, that's what happens when we write a post that's the top hit on the Google Search page for 2009 Yankees Payroll.
2. Stealing Juan Cruz
As Brian Cashman worked to put together the 2009 Yankees, Mike suggested that the team take a good, hard look at Juan Cruz. Luckily, the Yanks ignored us. Cruz missed most of August and September and put up a 5.72 ERA in 50.1 innings for the Royals. He strike out numbers dropped by nearly 50 percent while his walk rate remained the same. It was not a good year for Cruz.
3. A-Rod now dating above replacement level
Who says we have to be classy all the time? Our third most popular post of 2009 was one reporting that A-Rod and Kate Hudson were officially an item. Kate, as we all know, was the reason why the Yankees won the World Series in 2009, and we'll have to hope that A-Rod rebounds from their recent off-season breakup. Supposedly, A-Rod is still into Madonna.
4. Yanks acquire Javy Vazquez for Melky, Dunn
Brian Cashman delivered an early Christmas present for the Yanks when he packaged Melky Cabrera, Mike Dunn and Arodys Vizcaino in a deal for Javier Vazquez. The Braves needed to free up some salary, and Cashman has coveted Vazquez since he was dealt from the Yanks following the 2004 season.
5. Spillover Thread: Yanks in talks to acquire a starting pitcher
The night before we learned Javy Vazquez would return to the Yanks, the Internet was abuzz with rumors of an impending trade for a pitcher. While the Yanks and Braves worked out a deal, no one knew exactly which pitchers the Yanks were targeting, and many fans spent the evening speculating on the identity of the trade target.
6. On the day after Christmas, my GM got for me…
As a Christmas calmed settled over the baseball world this past weekend, we debated which missing pieces the Yanks would need to fill to make a run of it in 2010. Will they land a left fielder? Another bat? Another pitcher? And what of the bench? These questions remain unanswered.
7. Prospect Profile: Mark Melancon
Another Google-inspired popular post, Mike's Mark Melancon profile has drawn Yankee fans from around the world looking for more information on this late-inning option. Melancon will open the 2010 season competing for a job in the Bronx bullpen.
8. What the Blue Jays seek for Halladay
On the day after Thanksgiving, it seemed obvious to all that the Toronto Blue Jays would send Roy Halladay packing. Joe explored what Toronto expected in return. In the end, Halladay was part of a three-team deal that sent prospects and players every which way. The Doc is in Philly where he won't face the Yankees during the regular season at all.
9. Why it's Duchscherer, Sheets or stand pat with the pitching staff
Just a few days before the Yanks acquired Javier Vazquez, Joe urged the team to look at free agents Justin Duchscherer or Ben Sheets or no one at all. In the end, we had no idea the team was trying to reel in a bigger fish.
10. Going after the big Fish
As rumors of pitchers swirled around baseball, Mike urged the Yanks to look at Josh Johnson. The wheelin' and dealin' seems finished for now, but Josh Johnson could emerge as the biggest name available at the trade deadline come July.
* * *
And so as evening falls, we bid adieu to 2009. It was a great year for both RAB and the Yanks, and we're looking forward to an even better 2010. This is your open thread for the night. Have fun. Be safe. And toast the Yanks' great season before midnight ushers in another year and a blank baseball slate.

A former pupil of Madras College, St Andrews, is one step away from winning one of the United Kingdom's top fashion designer awards.
Mia Nisbet, who has already built up an enviable reputation in the world of fashion, has been shortlisted in the Fashions Finest Designer of the Year Award 2011, with the winner being announced at a glittering gala event at London's Gibson Hall on July 22.
Mia (30), who is based in Glasgow where she resides with her husband, Dominick Chimwembe and her nine-month-old son, Dio, has already enjoyed several stunning national successess - her Mia by Mia Nisbet is an award winning Ethical Label, winner of the 2008 Make Your Mark In Fashion Award and the 2009 Innovation Award from the British Fashion Council.
She uses recycled fabrics and traditional Malawian textiles to produce a collection that merges the richness of African textiles with western styling. She works with producers in Malawi to create her own ranges and her collections are designed and sold to the international fashion market.
Some of the profits are reinvested in communities in Malawi as well as in training, equipment and the infrastructure needed to increase market access and create sustainable livelihoods. The design concept is ethical fashion that unites two cultures, and importantly, is sustainable and wearable.
An honours graduate in textile design from the Glasgow School of Art, Mia admits to having "fallen in love with Malawi" during a trip there several years ago.
In an exclusive interview with the Citizen during a visit to her parents' home in the East Neuk - dad Ken Nisbet was the head of mathematics at Madras College until his retirement - Mia explained that inspiration for her collections came from her time spent in Malawi.
She explained: "In the street markets of Malawi, local traders are selling copious amounts of second-hand clothing that has been imported from the USA, Europe and elsewhere, primarily from donations.
"The sheer volume is astounding and has made it very challenging for locally produced clothing to compete in the local market."
She observed how Malawian citizens mixed imported clothes with their traditional dress and printed textiles and from this she has developed eye-catching ranges based on a fusion between tradition and modernity.
Mia added: "It is brilliant to have been shortlisted for the award and it has come out of the blue. I was quite shocked when I heard that I had been nominated. It is great news and it is really exciting."
Designs on her own ethical fashion label are on sale at several boutiques across the country and she will have five of her latest pieces on show on the catwalk at the awards' programme, which she hopes will impress the judging panel and help her scoop the prestigious title.
The Designer of the Year Award is the leading prize up for grabs at the London show and a spokeswoman for Fashions Finest said: "The British fashion trade is one of the most vibrant and internationally recognised fashion industries in the world.
''The awards are aimed at recognising new and emerging talent from our diverse fashion industry."

|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
DUBLIN, IRELAND – May 19, 2017 — /BackupReview.info/ — Health Research Board Clinical Research Coordination Ireland (HRB CRCI) is an independent integrated national clinical research network, providing centralised support in the conduct of multicentre clinical trials (both commercial and academic) across Ireland.
The HRB CRCI central office provides overarching support and expertise, through a range of services and activities to academia and industry.
The HRB CRCI has grown steadily and as the volume of new data is continually growing, the need to manage and share this data in a secure manner became a business requirement. They also wanted to have email on any device for mobility and people working remotely.
As with many organisations of its size, the HRB CRCI did not have a dedicated IT management or IT admin staff in-house. Therefore, they needed a solution that could be implemented and managed by a third party, whilst at the same time providing them with the features of having a simple and secure way to store, access and share their file data.
Due to the highly confidential and sensitive information that is often involved, the requirement for security and data protection is a critical issue for the HRB CRCI.
After an evaluation process, HRB CRCI chose Savenet to provide a solution that removes the need for a traditional in-house file server and allows them to store everything on-site, and in the cloud.
The File Server in the Cloud solution also enables all their users to sync and share their file data across any device – laptop, tablet or smartphone, from any location. All data is stored both on-site and securely in the Savenet Cloud environment, which is located across two tier 3 data centres in Dublin and managed in compliance with ISO 27001 standards.
In addition to providing the same ease of use associated with consumer grade products, this solution also includes high security features such as two factor authentication and a full backup of the data. In the event of the office being put out of use, all the file data is available in the cloud, between the file server in the cloud solution.
Fionnuala Keane, Chief Operating Officer, HRB CRCI said, "We chose Savenet with their file server in the cloud solution because its service could guarantee our files were safely backed up at all times, both on-site and in the cloud. We have the convenience and simplicity of our file server in the cloud, but we also have total peace of mind that in the event of any files being lost or corrupted, we can restore from our local appliance, or directly from the cloud."
Lorcan Cunningham, CTO of Savenet said, "Our file server in the cloud service is built on Ctera, a brilliant software platform that has proved itself to be a first-rate enterprise solution, which we use for our file share service, file server in the cloud and remote office backup solutions. This allows us to provide a powerful fully managed service, giving the HRB CR CI total peace of mind that we take care of everything in the background and they can concentrate on using the data."

Earlier in August I was on the R user conference which this year took place in Dortmund. It was a quite an exciting event gathering around 500 people from around the globe and featuring 170 presentations and talks. Topics varied from new developments in the R system, newly implemented statistical methods as well as plethora of very interesting, and often visually nice, applications. You can find the list of abstracts and also slides for majority of the talks on the conference's website.
I left the conference, I'm sure similarly to others, with a wealthy bag of new R "tricks". The next UseR is planned to take place next summer in Rennes (France). The website is already there.
Among the available slides are the slides from my talk which was derived from my recent paper on coordination in dynamic social networks in heterogeneous groups. This talk focused on a computer simulation I performed for the paper. You can find the slides here. Additionally here (QuickTime, 37Mb) is a movie based on the simulation I describe there. More on the paper itself soon.
R-bloggers.com offers daily e-mail updates about R news and tutorials on topics such as: Data science, Big Data, R jobs, visualization (ggplot2, Boxplots, maps, animation), programming (RStudio, Sweave, LaTeX, SQL, Eclipse, git, hadoop, Web Scraping) statistics (regression, PCA, time series, trading) and more...

|Unison synchronizer (beta release)
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows, written in OCaml. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. The current release is available for download here: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison There are still some rough edges, but the core functionality is working pretty well for us now. Hackers should find it reasonably straightforward to deal with. We'd appreciate input from the ML community as we move toward a more public distribution. Announcements of major releases will be posted on public lists very occasionally. To keep abreast of upgrades, use the URL above to add yourself to our mailing list.

Inlaid Cardboard
I wanted to do a quick test to see how several cut items could fit back together. I cut this swirl pattern from 3 coloured pieces of card and then took one of each colour and put them all back together. There is a gap between the parts the width of the laser line, more tests will be done shortly to compensate for this gap.

You Are Dismissed
Butter is Serving Croissants
Good Morning, Breakastpoppers. Today is Monday, July 18, 2016. Our new friend, Butter, is at the breakfast table this morning. She is here to share croissants slathered with butter and jelly, and she is here to tell certain people to hit the road. It should prove to be a spirited morning, so please join us as quickly as you can.
The Door is That Way
Thank you all for joining me this morning. I am thoroughly disgusted with the growing trend of certain people announcing to the nation that if their candidate doesn't win, they will say good-bye to America. I am not talking about people like Cher who has decided to leave if Trump wins. To Cher I say, have a good trip. I am, however, talking about Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg. It is almost impossible to imagine a sitting Justice denouncing America and weighing in on an election. I realize she apologized, but the damage was done, and it is high time for her to leave, because it is clear that her ability to make decisions is impaired. You will be in good company if you invite Jeb Bush and Romney to go along for the ride. It seems as if these sore losers are disgusted with Americans who support Trump, so much so, that they have been working hard to see him defeated. Are you Clinton fans now? In any case, pack your bags and hit the road. The people have spoken, and your actions tell us that you were never and will never be a part of us. While you are packing, please consider inviting Elizabeth Warren along for the ride. Every time she opens her mouth I, along with thousands of others, get a massive headache. If you have anymore room on the bus, please take all the twelve year old Democratic strategists with you. It is way past their bedtime, and it is beddy -bye time.
We Need a Bigger Bus
The bus is getting crowded, so let's order a bigger one. Let's round up the UN and send it packing. The UN is using our money to teach Arab children to glorify terrorism, inciting them to wage war against Israel. A new documentary released by a pro-Israel watchdog group, accuses the UN Relief and Works Agency of exposing military style training to young children. The film was produced by the Center for Near East Policy Research. Children are seen on film vowing to fight for ISIS. The UN must go, so make room on the bus. Please fill up any empty seats on the bus for those who refuse to call terror what it is. It is radical Islamic terrorism and it is time to get serious about defeating this sickness once and for all. Let's put Obama on the bus, because his heart has never been in this fight. He steadfastly refuses to identify the enemy. He refuses to act with decisiveness when it comes to ridding the world d these animals. His attempts at dealing with ISIS have been tepid and weak. ISIS knows it, our allies know it , and sane people in our nation know it. Those who refuse to accept the truth can get on that bus with the president. None of you will be missed. President Obama gave a speech at a Mosque in February in which he described Islam as spreading a message of peace. Even Muslims acknowledged that Islam means "submission." It does not mean peace. His answer to terrorism is the same as Hillary''s. They believe we need more diplomacy. Please get the Clintons on that bus with you Mr. President. We have had it with their lies and stupidity.
Follow the Arrow
The arrow is pointing to more busses that have been requisitioned. We want to invite, FBI Director James Comey to board the bus. You let our entire nation down when you let Hillary walk away without punishment. It was clear to most of us that the "fix" was in. I don't know what happened, but you put the FBI in a very bad light. The Clintons have walked away from hideous lies and deception before, and it is high time they are held accountable for their crimes. Make room on the bus for Attorney General Loretta Lynch. She was complicit in this Clinton masquerade, and it is time for her to get out of town. She can take Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder and the entire Black Lives Matter movement with her. Oh, let's not forget the New Black Panthers. We will all feel much better if they board the bus that will take them out of our lives. I leave all those mentioned here with these last words. The ticket you are holding is one way. God Bless America!
Butter's Song
This land is your land
This land is my land
Let's keep it free
For you and me.....
Yes, we are going to need a bigger bus! I can't agree with your words more on those who continue to lie and cheat their way through to the top.
Good morning Butter and PoP...
I would much rather throw them under the bus than put them on it...
Excellent Hub, as usual...Thank you for keeping the porch light burning...See you at the Inn where we can all wish them bon voyage...
I intermixed the danish and the rocks, just in case any BO fans tried to crash the inn.
The rocks called and they are complaining about BO being their equal. They say rocks are smarter. lol
Great party.
Oh....if anyone can jump into this exchange~~I need to comment that I have been of the belief that Congress was somehow mainlined heavy drugs to render them numb & paralyzed......that's exactly how it looks. I picture them a group of "crap-for-brains" all harmonizing one word...."DUHhhhhhhhhhhhh."
pop.....although I'm as disgusted & disappointed as anyone, with B.O & his 8-year reign of horror & lunacy, I have to say this much in his favor.
He is well-educated, intelligent & eloquent (let's face it, he hypnotized & captivated the stupids of our nation). Al Sharpton on the other hand is as dumb as a box of rocks and has only 2 brain cells to rub together to maybe cause a spark. I believe Obama should be ashamed & embarrassed to associate with "Rev. Al." Notice I said, "he SHOULD be."
I think Hillary and Obama are busy at this very minute turning all the crooked wheels they can turn to cheat Trump from winning this election (by way of millions of illegals voting or one of a dozen other ways) but if by some miracle this corrupt twosome do not make their way back in they will not go away you can be sure. Obama has a plan and he is not going to give it up, he is not even leaving DC. His buddies are right there where he put them and they are far from done.
We all sat too quiet too long.
It is good that the Clooneys believe in open borders, it will be easy for them to pass through them and out of the country.
He is probably selling the Lake Como mansion to fund Hillary Clinton.
I think that the Clooney's shouldn't stop at Mexico as they cross the open US border, but head on down to Guatemala. Mexico doesn't have an open northern Guatemalan border. Mexico doesn't want their southern neighbor in their country.
With the hope of them leaving, cheese danishes are on my at the inn.
Hello Butter and Pop
If only most of the people were as smart as Butter the country would be strong instead of declining. Unfortunately, there isn't a bus big enough to take all the people that have shown they don't care if the country continues its decline. It doesn't affect them. Cher is contesting that her net worth is $600 million and George Clooney is somewhere around $200 million. They have donated heavily to the democrats, Obama and the Clintons, yet the US is still in decline.
How can the people think that these filthy rich aristocrats know anything about life outside of the palatial estate(S).
What are the accomplishments of their presidential icon in his 2 terms. Maybe he lowered his golf handicap, and improved his pool game, but he was the Bull in the people china shop breaking everything he could, but in the name of reform and improvement.
Speaking of China, he made sure that we are even more in debt to China than we have ever been. And there is no indication of weaning from that countries purchase of America.
The bus, nor a fleet of buses have enough capacity to contain these people. I suggest they form a conga line and head towards and continue through the open Southern US border.
There they can be with the people they think are Americans.
They shouldn't wait for the election, now is good for America for them to leave.
Heard the same thing a lot during the 60's. To my knowledge very few actually left, and those who did leave had zero effect on the system. If you want to affect real change in this country....be a part of the solution. Period! We are on the same page on this one, Pop, although you were a bit more eloquent than I was. :)
Good morning Pop and Butter. I could only hope I could help load some of those you mentioned on the bus. However, I am not sure what other country, if any, would even take them. I fear we are stuck with all of them until their clock runs out and they are no longer here to finish destroying this country.
Pop and Butter,
I applaud your effort in pointing out the "Blame America First" crowd and inviting them to do what they should have done long ago. They hate this country and always have as can be discerned from their constant attempts to "fundamentally change" her.
The left likes to say that conservatives use silent dog whistles with their words. Well the leftist blow their whistles to show their support for every nasty group showing their hatred for this nation and all it stands for. Can you imagine the fallout if a president had hosted the KKK in the White House as Obama has hosted BLM and various Islamic terror groups???
Good Morning pop & butter....As always you serve up an intelligent breakfast of truth & common sense.
This is OUR country. We get to stay. I'm with you on the one way bus ticket out of the USA for all those mentioned & then some! Those who have consistently tried to transform our once great Nation for the worse in every regard. Those who have brought an image of weakness & stupidity to the forefront for our lethal enemies to laugh at....& utilize to their evil advantage at every turn.
BHO has more shame to take with him than he will be willing to carry. I have a question for him he can read on the bus. He won't even have to answer because we already know the answer.
"So, how does it feel knowing you started out by making History as the first black POTUS....and step by step you succeeded in creating more racial tensions, pushing us backward in time, destroying all progress and tossing law enforcement onto the burn pile while you're at it?"
I would like to offer to drive the bus. Just want to make sure they get out and stay out. It's the least I can do for my country.

What happens when #TeamRainforest comes to your party? No one can miss us!
Last week, 50 RAN activists came to Abercrombie & Fitch's biggest event of the year—its annual party and 5K charity run at its corporate headquarters near Columbus, Ohio. Running as #TeamRainforest, we asked Abercrombie & Fitch's employees and their families to be a part of the movement to ensure that rainforest destruction and human rights abuses are never part of its clothing. But that wasn't all! In addition to running the race (we got third place in the women's division!) and sharing #TeamRainforest flyers and stickers with the crowd, we made sure our message was seen and heard with an airplane circling overhead trailing a massive banner that asked: "Is A&F with #TeamRainforest?" We even took over the public event hashtag on Facebook with this image of rainforest destruction.Some employees wanted to know: "What does Abercrombie & Fitch have to do with rainforest destruction?" #TeamRainforest student activists with Ohio State University and Kenyon College drew attention to the fact that Abercrombie & Fitch stocks almost 300 items that are made from fabric that is made from trees. It may seem strange, but it's true—popular fabrics like rayon, viscose, or modal are driving rainforest destruction in places like Indonesia. Each year, over 70 million trees are ground up to make these fabrics.Abercrombie & Fitch's executive leadership can no longer ignore the risk of rainforest destruction and human rights abuses in its supply chain. The company's leadership got the message loud and clear: join #TeamRainforest and become leaders for forests and fashion or we will continue to ramp up the pressure until they do. Last week's action not only sent our critical message to company executives but also allowed us to win important allies on the inside of the company by educating thousands of its employees and their families about the hidden scandal in their company's supply chain. They know that Abercrombie & Fitch has the opportunity to join other industry leaders like H&M, Zara, Levis & Co, and other brands which are appealing to sustainably-minded Millennials, or risk lagging behind its competitors. Help keep the pressure on by joining over 40,000 people who have directly contacted Abercrombie & Fitch this year to demand its executive leadership join #TeamRainforest and become leaders for rainforest-free fabrics. Our movement grows bigger and stronger every day. Check out more action photos in our #TeamRainforest photo album.
