The court system in Los Angeles uses California Penal Code Section 242: Battery to prosecute many criminal cases.
Individuals who face charges under PC 242 can end up facing serious legal penalties. A conviction could impact an individual’s life for years to come. The Simmrin Law Group can help you understand the definition, penalties, and defenses for a charge of battery.
Battery charges can apply in many situations, because individuals can be convicted of battery even if they do not harm anyone. An angry push or a shove can even be prosecuted as battery in the courts in Los Angeles.
The penalties for these acts varies. A criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles can help you understand the differences in these charges.
Person A gets into an argument with Person B. Their tempers heat up and Person B says something very insulting. Person A shoves Person B into a wall, resulting in serious bruising. Person A can be convicted of battery, even though Person B was participating in the argument.
Person C is walking down the street and trips, falling into Person D. Person D ends up twisting their ankle and accuses Person C of battery. However, Person C did not intentionally try to harm Person D, so they are not guilty of battery.
Person E is playing soccer in a neighborhood league. During a close game, Person E tackles Person F, sending them both to the ground. Person F is cut along their shin. Person E should not be charged with battery because they were both consenting to play a risky sport.
Additionally, the court can order individuals convicted under PC 242 to attend anger management classes. A battery conviction can also result in a ban on the ownership of firearms. This ban can last for up to 10 years.
Individuals are legally allowed to protect themselves from acts of violence in Los Angeles. You may not be convicted of battery if someone else struck you first. Note, however, that verbal threats are not enough to justify an act of battery.
Battery involves willfully hurting someone. Individuals who harm another person by accident should not be convicted under PC 242 in California.
Note that – in some cases – individuals consent to activities that can result in physical harm. Someone who is playing a physical sport or engaging in other risky activities may be injured. These injuries are not the result of battery and should not lead to criminal charges.
A conviction under California Penal Code Section 242: Battery can lead to severe repercussions. You could be incarcerated and fined if you are convicted of battery in California. Make sure you address a battery charge head-on by contacting the Simmrin Law Group right now for a FREE case evaluation.

Resum: The aim of this paper is to investigate how automatic prosodic labeling systems contribute to the evaluation of non-native pronunciation. In particular, it examines the efficiency of a group of metrics to evaluate the prosodic competence of non-native speakers, based on the information provided by sequences of labels in the analysis of both native and non-native speech. A group of Sp ToBI labels were obtained by means of an automatic labeling system for the speech of native and non-native speakers who read the same texts. The metrics assessed the differences in the prosodic labels for both speech samples. The results showed the efficiency of the metrics to set apart both groups of speakers. Furthermore, they exhibited how nonnative speakers (American and Japanese speakers) improved their Spanish productions after doing a set of listening and repeating activities. Finally, this study also shows that the results provided by the metrics are correlated with the scores given by human evaluators on the productions of the different speakers.


The most important question is- What is Automation? Definition of Automation: In simple words, automation is the technique of making a process, or a system that operate automatically. It is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimum human effort.

Britain's famous ''queen of whodunits'' was also a ''queen of romance.'' The world knows Dame Agatha Christie as the author of around 85 crime novels, which sold more than 350 million copies. Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple were creations of this imaginative writer. But what most people don't know is that Agatha Christie was also responsible for more than 150 short stories, many of which were romances and fantasies. She wrote at least six romantic novels under a pseudonym as well.
Now, some of that amazing ambivalence is being revealed to American TV viewers in a remarkable four-hour miniseries based on Dame Agatha's short stories as part of the Mobil-funded Mystery! series (PBS, Thursdays, 9-10 p.m., Feb. 17-March 10, check local listings).
The opening story, ''The Manhood of Edward Robinson,'' is the most romantic of the group, combining suspense and romantic fantasy with just a touch of madcap farce. It even has a rather charming impressionist dance sequence. The succeeding tales all concentrate on high-society romance, tinged with a trace of imaginative caprice. Not all of it works, but enough works well to reward viewers - both Christie fans and uncommitted audiences - with slick, skillful Thames TV views of the other side of Dame Agatha.
Does Ms. Sandys feel there is an identifiable Agatha Christie view of society?
''No, I don't think society with a capital S interested her very much. Human beings fascinated her. And I think that these stories (there are still six more which may appear on PBS later) reveal her enormous understanding of human nature more than the novels and films. She was a very wise woman but very shy. She couldn't bring herself to walk into a reception in a restaurant. She hated large parties. She was a very private person although she obviously watched people all the time.
I sometimes confuse Margaret Rutherford, who played Miss Marple, with Dame Agatha herself. Were they alike at all?
Ms. Sandys says a biography of Agatha Christie is now being written by a very distinguished British writer, who has been given access by the Christie family to all sorts of private papers. ''She herself only wrote two nonfiction books - her autobiography, called 'Autobiography,' and the other called 'Come Tell Me How You Lived,' about a dig she went on with her archaeologist second husband. In that book she reveals more of herself than in her autobiography.
Somehow I have the feeling that the Agatha Christie/Pat Sandys collaboration is far from over. Next project - a filmed biography of the queen of whodunits and romance?


In Tokyo, Japan, in 1936 the Ricoh Company was founded by Kiyoshi Ichimura. In 1957 Ricoh makes Japan's first mass-production Cameras. The Company took the name of its products, becoming Ricoh in the year 1963. Ricoh is well known for a series of point and shoot cameras, made from the early1980s until the 1990s. In the early 1980s the Ricoh AF-5 was made, it was a sophisticated well made point and shoot auto-focus compact camera for 35mm film with an integral flash and auto-focus, and was manufactured exclusively by the Ricoh Camera Company. The lens produces particularly remarkably contrasts photos in good light. It would come with a strap, manual, and the original factory box. The suggested list of $169.96 for the Ricoh AF-5 was its base price in the early 1980s. Two factories made this model, one was in Japan, and the other was in Taiwan. The last of the line Ricoh’s point and shoot auto-focus cameras was the Ricoh RZ-1050 built in Tokyo Japan in the 1990s.
The Ricoh AF-5 was made it was a point and shoot autofocus compact camera for 35mm film with an integral flash and autofocus, manufactured by Ricoh.
The Ricoh AF-5 is a point and shoot auto-focus compact camera for 35mm film with integral flash and superb auto-focus, manufactured by Ricoh circa 1980. These model specifications: Lens: 38mm / f2.8 Color Rikenon (Tessar-style 4 elements in 3 groups). Filter diameter 46mm. Auto-focus with pre-focus from 1m-infinity.With an Albada viewfinder, with parallax correction marks and low-light warning. Magnification: 0.46X. The field of view for the Ricoh AF- percentage was 83%. It has an auto-exposure via CDS photocell, and the coupling range was EV6 - EV17 (ISO 100). This model had an easy to load film design, with auto-wind and rewind. The Ricoh AF-5 had a manual setting of ISO from 25-1000, and an integral flash … 12m at ISO 100. This model as had a 7 second recharge, and a self-timer. The power for this remarkable camera comes from two simple AA batteries.
Here in a nutshell is a more concise summary I made of the Ricoh AF-5 film camera, it is an early 1980′s well-made point and shoot auto-focus compact 35mm camera with integrated popup flash that was powered by 2 x AA batteries. The dimensions of the camera are 129x79x55mm.The weight of the Ricoh AF-5 is 330g (without the two AA batteries). The attached lens cap prevents accidental shutter release, by pushing a switch that disconnects the power. This also prevents the two batteries from wearing down. It has a great Albada viewfinder with parallax correction marks and low-light warning. The magnification are: 0.46X. Field of View 83%.

The Ricoh AF-5 had a manual setting of ISO from 25-1000, and an integral flash … 12m at ISO 100. 7 second recharge, and a self-timer.
The Ricoh AF-5 automatic point and shoot camera, and the Ricoh RZ -1050 automatic point and shoot cameras made the Ricoh Company well known for its series of point and shoot automatic cameras.
Most consumers in the 1980s recognized the Ricoh name as standing for some of the best made film cameras available. During that time Ricoh was one of the world’s most advance and high-tech Camera Company’s in the world. Even today the Ricoh AF-5 is still a great seller on vintage camera sites such as eBay and Amazon. This well made model is hard to keep on the shelf at second hand stores, as well as vintage camera shops.What makes it really great is that it only takes two standard easy to find AA batteries to power it up.
The last of the point and shoot Ricoh cameras was the Ricoh RZ -1050 automatic 35MM AF camera which was fully automatic 35MM AF compact model. It had an aspheric zooming lens, zooming 38 – 105MM, with built in flash, red eye reduction, and slow synchrony. The flash shooting range was to ISO100 –SIO400 with auto-focus shooting. You could have panorama pictures, and this model had a self-timer. The power source for this model was a 3V lithiumX2 battery.
The Ricoh RZ -1050 automatic 35MM AF camera which was fully automatic 35MM AF compact model.
The Ricoh RZ -1050, introduced in the late 1990s by the Ricoh Camera Company of Tokyo Japan, is a marvelous compact Zoom lensed camera, marketed as a pocket-able travel companion thanks to its wide-angle range. You can take clear and sharp pictures with the Ricoh RZ- 1050 just like its older brother form the 1980s the Ricoh AF-5 35mm camera. Also like the Ricoh AF-5 it is a compact automatic 35 mm point-and-shoot film camera that is ideal to carry anywhere.
Grantley showing his New Ricoh RZ-1050 Automatic 35MM Camera.
The final results on this Ricoh RZ -1050 film camera shows that like it older brother from the 1980s the Ricoh AF-5 it is more than capable of giving a consumer what they want from a compact well-made film cameras from the 1990s, and it goes without saying that it was one of the better ones to own being made at the Tokyo Japan plant. The nice thing is that there are a number of these Ricoh RZ -1050 models available from sellers on eBay and other online sellers, and they are still in their factory boxes. They are what is known as old new stock, meaning they never made it to a department store or camera store shelf.
The suggested list of $169.96 for the Ricoh AF-5 was its base price in the early 1980s. Two factories made this model, one was in Japan, and the other was in Taiwan.
Both of these two Ricoh 35MM film cameras the Ricoh AF-5, and the Ricoh RZ-1050, show amazing sophistication in their styling and design, and both of these cameras are great for almost any need. During this era from the early 1980s to the end of the 1990s the Ricoh Camera Company had probably the largest production line of automatic film cameras in the world with over 24 styles and designs in their 35MM automatic film cameras department alone.
You can take close-up photos of far-away objects with this Ricoh RZ-1050 35MM film camera that has a wonderful zoom lens. Or shoot non-blurry portraits with the awesome self-timer mode of this automatic point-and-shoot camera. What is truly wonderful is the red-eye reduction flash mode of this marvelous made in Japan Ricoh film camera automatically reduces the red-eye effect caused by the flash in your photos. What's more, the built-in flash of the Ricoh allows taking remarkable photos in the lowest of light.
The flash shooting range was to ISO100 –SIO400 with auto-focus shooting. You could have panorama pictures, and this model had a self-timer. The power source for this model was a 3V lithiumX2 batter.
The photographer that is looking for a smart point and shoot 35MM film camera can find it in this Ricoh RZ -1050 mode, because it has smart technology to produce the best pictures. Being small and handy this zoom film camera does almost everything the big boys did, and it can go almost anywhere. You will bring back great shots even in the lowest of light.
The Ricoh Company originally introduced many great designs in optics and film cameras that made the brand very popular from the 1950s to the 1990s, and now these vintage well-made cameras have developed a very loyal following, and are loved by most film camera hobbyist.

LONDON - Three British teens who were believed to be on their way to Syria to join militants there were detained in Turkey and quickly returned to the U.K. and arrested on suspicion of planning terrorist acts, British police Sunday.
The male trio left Britain several days ago, and they were detained in Istanbul after British officials notified Turkish authorities.
The three were arrested on suspicion of the preparation of terrorism acts and were in custody at a central London police station, police said. Their names haven't been released. Two are aged 17 and one is 19.
They are believed to be the latest in a growing number of Britons trying to travel to extremist-held territory inside Syria. Last month, three British schoolgirls left the U.K. for Turkey and, police believe, crossed the border into Syria to join Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants.
British legislator Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said the latest case shows that the number of young Britons trying to reach the conflict zone in Syria "is on a much larger scale" than had been thought.
Vaz praised Turkish authorities for acting quickly to detain the teens before they entered Syria.
Similar attempts to stop the schoolgirls were unsuccessful -- leading some to criticize Turkish officials for not acting quickly enough to keep them from entering Syria.
A senior Turkish government official, who can't be named because of Turkish rules that bar civil servants from speaking to journalists without prior authorization, said the two 17-year-old boys had been detained at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport Friday by Turkish authorities who were acting on intelligence provided by British officials.
The 19-year-old man was detained at the airport after questioning by police based on profiling at the airport, the official said. All three had flown to Istanbul from Barcelona, Spain.
They were deported to London on Saturday -- instead of Spain as is the normal procedure in Turkey -- because Britain insisted that they be returned to Britain, the official said.
The teenagers were planning to travel to Syria, the official said. Turkish officials believe they wanted to join ISIS, but "we cannot say 100 percent that that was the aim," the official said.
The Turkish official described the incident as a "'joint Turkish-British operation," and said Turkey welcomed the timely intelligence and cooperation by Britain.
"Turkey is doing all that it can to stop the passage into Syria, but there has to be cooperation. This operation shows what can be achieved when there is cooperation," the official said.
British counterterrorism officers learned on Friday the teens had gone missing from their homes in Britain and they were thought to be traveling to Syria, police said.
An increasing number of Britons have traveled to Turkey to use it as a crossing point to enter Syria and to join ISIS extremists who control territory in both Syria and Iraq. The militants have declared an Islamic caliphate in their territory.
British police say roughly 700 Britons have traveled to Syria to join extremists, raising concerns that some may launch attacks inside the U.K. if they return. Recent cases indicate a growing number of young women traveling there to become "jihadi brides."
Authorities say Internet-based social media have made it much easier for young Britons to communicate with extremists inside Syria.


I've been using bee pollen for a couple years now for my allergies, and it has worked amazingly!! However, this spring, it is not working as well as it used too, actually, it's almost not working at all. Do I possibly have a bad batch or does its effectiveness from prolonged use wear out?
The effectiveness of bee pollen does not diminish from year to year. It is possible that the pollens in the air this time of year are different than last year. Or, it could even be that the pollen you are taking is slightly different than the pollens in the air and you are not getting the same immunizing effect. It also could be that your immune system is more vulnerable or out of balance so to speak.

Q: I'm preparing for the Cisco CCNA exam. What score in the subnetting game do I need to achieve to be comfortable passing the exam?
A: It's actually more important to be able to answer the questions correctly without making mistakes, than to achieve a particular score. That being said, by our estimate, if you are able to score approximately 7 or higher every time without getting any questions wrong, then you are likely going to do well on the subnetting portion of the CCNA exam. If you want to fly through the subnetting questions and have extra time to spend on other questions, then strive for a score of 15 or more without getting any wrong. Of course, the more practice you have, the better!
Q: How many subnetting questions are on the Cisco CCNA exam?
A: It varies, but it is certainly a significant topic, which means if you can really nail the subnetting portion, you will have a big head start towards passing the exam.

Q: What can I do with Career Points?
A: We haven't decided yet what the future will hold for them. Right now they are just for fun.
Q: If I achieve a High Score, but I don't submit it, will it still appear in my Profile history?
A: Yes. All games that you complete will be tracked in your history regardless of whether or not you choose to publicly submit them. If you do choose to submit your score, you will see the Name and Location fields that you entered for each submission next to the score details in the history list.
Q: Is it possible to link my previous high scores to my new Account?
A: Yes. Simply send us an email with your username and the Name/Location of the high scores you wish to link. We may ask a few additional questions to help verify that the scores belong to you, and then we will link them for you.
Q: Which exams are covered by the Pro Account material?
CCNP SWITCH and TSHOOT are coming soon.
Q: Do I need a PayPal account to sign up for a Pro Account?
A: No. You can sign up for a Pro Account with PayPal, or any credit card, prepaid gift credit card, or a debit card that has a credit card logo on it. However, we do recommend that you use a PayPal account if you have one, and if you do not, we suggest you consider signing up for a PayPal account instead of simply using a credit card. The reason is that if you ever want to change your payment method in the future it is much easier if you have a PayPal account.
Q: How do I cancel my Pro Account subscription?
A: You can cancel the subscription in your PayPal account, or you can cancel by going to your profile, clicking on "View/Edit Account Information", then choose "Cancel Pro Account Subscription". If you have any trouble, just let us know. Of course you may email or call us anytime.
Q: How many videos come with the Pro Account?
A: There are more than 100 videos which are individually tailored to teach a specific topic.
Q: I paid for a Pro Account, and I have waited more than "a few minutes". Why is my control panel page still showing I have a Free account?
A: This can happen if you paid for your Pro Account with a PayPal "eCheck". If your PayPal account does not have enough funds in it and the funding method is from a bank account rather than a credit or debit card, PayPal does not send us the payment until the eCheck clears, which can take around 2-5 days. If you are not willing to wait a few days (for example if you're taking the exam tomorrow!), then please contact us and we'll do our best to accomodate you. Also let us know if you did not pay with an eCheck and your account has still not been upgraded.

Around 7 percent of registered Democrats voted in the New York City primary runoff last week, in which Councilman John C. Liu of Queens won the party’s nomination for city comptroller and Councilman Bill de Blasio of Brooklyn won the nomination for public advocate.
With such low turnout, the roughly $15 million cost of the runoff meant that the election cost something like $72 per vote cast, according to State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo Jr., a Queens Democrat who announced legislation on Monday to eliminate runoff elections in New York State. Mr. Addabbo’s bill comes after critics have questioned the need for the runoff system, which was created after a New York City mayoral primary 40 years ago.
“I plan to research the process by which run-off elections can be eliminated entirely,” said Mr. Addabbo, who is chairman of the Senate Elections Committee.
“Spending $15 million to hold an election the voters do not wish to participate in is a waste of taxpayer dollars in a time of economic difficulty,” Mr. Addabbo said in a statement. “That money could have instead been spent more wisely, like on our seniors or school children.” As Sam Roberts reported in The Times recently, runoffs originated in New York City after the 1969 mayoral race, when the Democratic candidate, Mario A. Procaccino, a conservative, was nominated in the primary with only 33 percent of the vote in a five-way race. That November, he was defeated by the incumbent, John V. Lindsay, who was running on the Liberal-Fusion line.
Democratic Party leaders lobbied the Legislature to adopt a runoff for citywide offices beginning in 1973, requiring that a runoff be held if no citywide candidate receives at least 40 percent of the primary vote.
That year, Abraham D. Beame won the mayoral runoff and the general election. Four years later, Edward I. Koch was nominated in a runoff and was elected in November.
Gene Russianoff, a staff lawyer with the New York Public Interest Research Group who has been critical of the runoff system, said the problem did not have an easy solutoin.
A proposal like Mr. Addabbo’s to simply do away with the runoffs and return to the pre-1969 system runs the risk of a candidate’s winning citywide office with only a tiny plurality of the vote.
A better solution, Mr. Russianoff said, might be an “instant runoff,” in which primary voters cast indicate their top choices by ranking their top choices: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3. If no candidate received at least 40 percent of the No. 1 rankings, an instant runoff would take place between the top two vote-getters by allocating the ballots from the defeated candidates to whichever of the top two candidates was ranked next on that ballot. The candidate with more votes would win.
Such a system is not common in the United States, Mr. Russianoff acknowledged, and “would require a lot of voter education,” but might have the advantage of reducing the administrative expense while addressing the concerns about political legitimacy.
Now that New York is likely to move to new optical scan voting equipment, instant runoff voting is a sensible alternative. It’s been working well in elections in cities with diverse electorates like San Francisco and London and adopted for upcoming elections in Oakland, Minneapolis, Memphis and a growing number of other cities. It’s even going to be used to pick the best picture Oscar this winter. We’ve found that voters like the idea of getting a definitive winner in one round rather than two.
State Senator Liz Krueger, a Manhattan Democrat, has introduced legislation that would allow instant runoff voting in municipal elections in New York State.


I have ovarian cancer. My doctor has told me not to eat any soy foods because my tumors are responsive to estrogen. Should I avoid all soy foods? Where will I get my protein?
Respectively, I do disagree with your doctor that soy foods should be eliminated because your ovarian cancer is responsive to estrogen. Soy foods are extremely complex, which is a good thing, and researchers are just starting to figure out what actions all the various components of soy foods have in the body, both individually and in concert when eaten together as a whole food.
Soy foods are filled with molecules that have anti-cancer activity, including the phytoestrogen molecules about which your doctor is concerned. In fact, one very recent research study demonstrated that the two main phytoestrogen molecules in soy foods actually helped cisplatin and taxol reduce ovarian cancer cell growth in test tubes. (Anticancer Res. 2004 Mar-Apr;24(2B):795-800. Inhibitory effect of genistein and daidzein on ovarian cancer cell growth. Gercel-Taylor C, Feitelson AK, Taylor DD.) A test tube is not a human, but that study is an indicator that those two main controversial molecules do not cause those ovarian cell lines to grow at the concentrations used.
In addition, two studies have shown significantly reduced ovarian cancer in populations that consume soy foods (1) or other phytoestrogens (2) on a regular basis.
(1) Nutr Cancer. 2004;49(2):125-30. Soy and isoflavone intake are associated with reduced risk of ovarian cancer in southeast china. Zhang M, Xie X, Lee AH, Binns CW.
(2) J Nutr. 2003 Jun;133(6):1937-42. Risk of human ovarian cancer is related to dietary intake of selected nutrients, phytochemicals and food groups. McCann SE, Freudenheim JL, Marshall JR, Graham S.
If you choose to incorporate soy foods into your diet, remember that moderation is important. I would recommend a variety of traditional soy foods like those consumed in Japan and China (tofu, tempeh, soy milk, miso, edamame) in amounts that would be typical of an Asian intake of only 1-3 servings per day. If you choose to avoid soy foods and eat only other protein sources, all beans and legumes still provide protein, seafood is a very good choice (choose seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids like Alaskan salmon), and eggs (choose eggs high in omega-3 fatty acids like Eggland's Best) provide very good protein.
I hope this general info is helpful. However, I strongly recommend that you make an appointment with the Registered Dietitian at your cancer treatment facility to help you sort through your dietary options to make sure that they meet your individualized nutritional needs and goals, most particularly if you happen to be above your ideal weight.


This is follow up to a prior question: "What value should be selected when VTE prophylaxis is administered several days after admission? ";.
Patient received Lovenox and ASA on the day of arrival while being held for observation. Both medications were discontinued during observation due to a hematoma. The patient was admitted to the hospital 2 days after arrival. No prophylaxis was adminsitered after hospital admission. What allowable value should be selected for VTE prophylaxis?
For the case described, select 'A'=none for VTE Prophylaxis, since no prophylaxis was administered the day of or day after hospital admission. The next decision point is Reason for No VTE Prophylaxis-Hospital Admission.
Both the pharmacological and mechanical approaches must be assessed to answer 'Yes' for Reason for No VTE Prophylaxis-Hospital Admission. In addition to a reason for no pharmacological forms, (i.e., Lovenox, ASA), a reason for no mechanical forms, (IPC/SCDs, foot pump, GCS) must also be documented. If documentation of "No VTE Prophylaxis needed" is written, then it will be inferred that both mechanical and pharmacological options were not indicated for the patient.


Is the recently claimed solution to black hole information paradox published on PRL valid?
I have a Hamiltonian which is time dependent but possesses periodic symmetry: $H(t+t_0)=H(t)$. Is there any clever techniques to exploit this? Edit: In particular, I would like a practical method to simulate the dynamics of such a system (as opposed to naive time-slicing).
Do you want dynamics or average ground state?
@JoeFitzsimons -- good question. This was an example question I used at a StackExchange participation drive, so I unfortunately didn't give it much thought. I will make it clearer now.
I would suggest looking at the formalism of Floquet space. The basic idea is that one uses a time-independent but infinite dimensional Hamiltonian to simulate evolution under a time-dependent but finite dimensional Hamiltonian by using a new index to label terms in a Fourier series.
A good, short introduction can be found in Levante et al. For more details, Leskes et al provides a very through review. Finally, a simple example of an application of Floquet theory is given by Bain and Dumont.
Chris, can you add some comments about truncating the series in order to implement this method?


Special Containment Procedures: Due to frequent usage, SCP-1089 is to be kept in a 2m x 2m metal containment cell. The door to the cell is to remain electronically locked at all times and only the designated researchers are to be given the keypad code. No other personnel are to be given admittance without Level 3 Security Clearance.
SCP-1089-p are several small 'pills' roughly 1.5mm in length. Pills are initially covered in a grey coat of gelatin - this coating can be carefully scraped off revealing what appears to be a complex microchip. Further examination has proven impossible as SCP-1089-p's interior components dissolve the instant the pill is pierced.
SCP-1089 was recovered when U████ P████████, a known prominent customer of MC&D, was arrested and his assets were scheduled to be seized. U████ P████████'s mansion was raided by Foundation agents and SCP-1089, SCP-████ and SCP-████ were quickly recovered from a wall safe before either MC&D or government personnel arrived on-scene.
SCP-1089 exhibits its anomalous properties when worn and activated. The goggles override the wearer's sense of sight, causing the wearer (henceforth referred to as the 'observer') to be able to see as through the eyes of another specific person. This specific person becomes 'marked' by ingesting SCP-1089-p and this effect persists for an unknown and possibly permanent duration. The observer remains self-aware while watching a marked individual and SCP-1089 appears to block all sound - researchers have reported being unable to hear anything while observing. There appear to be several 'channels' depending on the setting of the radial knob and each active channel has its own marked individual.
SCP-1089-p seem to be linked to the channel the goggles are set to. When set to any channel except '4' the compartment is completely empty. Subject D-1089-1 was given a pill from '4' - after ingestion, the compartment was empty when it had contained several pills only moments earlier. Immediate termination of D-1089-1 shows that the link expires when the marked individual dies and compartment '4' was automatically refilled.
Note: For simplicity's sake, the marked individual for each channel will be denoted as SCP-1089-x where x is the active channel.
1) Channel 1 appears to be blank and continues to be blank as long as has been observed. No SCP-1089-p exists for compartment '1' so it has been unavailable for testing. Observation to continue as scheduled.
2) SCP-1089-2 is an individual of unknown gender in a padded cell in an unknown location. It is suspected that SCP-1089-2 may be forcibly restrained as little to no movement has been observed. Every day at precisely 08:00, 13:00 and 18:00 a woman of medium age and build wearing a plain grey dress and glasses enters the room with what appears to be a bowl of food-paste. The woman spends 5-10 minutes feeding SCP-1089-2 and promptly leaves with the empty bowl. As far as has been observed, she has never attempted to converse with SCP-1089-2 during these feeding times. Foundation agents have been investigating the identity of the woman but thus far she remains unknown to Foundation personnel. Observation to continue as scheduled.
3) Based upon information gathered from observation, investigation into the identity of SCP-1089-3 has been successful. SCP-1089-3 is the estranged father of U████ P████████. It is not known why U████ P████████ was watching his father, nor is it deemed scientifically relevant. Investigation discontinued and observation stopped.
4) Channel 4 has been cleared for testing on D-level personnel and due to having complete control over SCP-1089-4 this is to be the primary channel of observation (No further testing is to be allowed without O5 approval).
First, D-1089-1 ingested SCP-1089-p and became SCP-1089-4. SCP-1089-4 was briefly observed before termination.
D-1089-2, surgically blinded, was observed next. Observation of SCP-1089-4/2 was reported to be blank in a manner consistent with Channel 1. D-1089-2 was then scheduled for immediate termination so that the channel could be freed up for more useful research.
D-1089-3 ingested SCP-1089-p and was placed into solitary confinement for a period of 48 hours. As it seems there are no adverse effects to SCP-1089-p other than linking the target for observation, SCP-1089-4/3 was reassigned to SCP-████.
5) SCP-1089-5 has been identified from information gathered from mirrors and reflective surfaces. He is a Japanese businessman named M██████ H█████, CEO of ███████ █████ Inc. located in ████████. Observation to continue as scheduled.
Update ██/██/████: Observation reports that SCP-1089-5 is no longer M██████ H█████ but is instead an unknown female. It is not known when or how this change ocurred but Foundation agents are in the process of investigating the new SCP-1089-5/2.
Update ██/██/████: Newspapers have confirmed M██████ H█████ was murdered between the time he was last observed and the first time the new female SCP-1089-5/2 was observed.
Update ██/██/████: SCP-1089-5/2 has been identified as H████ P█████, a wealthy heiress living in █████████. Observation to continue as scheduled.
Update ██/██/████: As expected, SCP-1089-5/17 was also reported murdered. Investigation into identity of SCP-1089-5/18 has begun. Observation to continue as scheduled.
Effective immediately, discontinue use of SCP-1089-p while on site.
That channel 5 changed without action from us suggests there are more goggles and channels are shared among them.
We don't know who has been watching but since ██/██/████ we've given them crystal clear surveillance of the inside of our secure facility as well as SCP-████!
Kill the link to channel 4 and continue observation of the other channels. Channel 4 is now to remain blank and channel 5 is designated as your new primary observation.


OAKLAND -- The words did not escape Stephen Piscotty in this moment. It would have been understandable if they had, given the circumstances. But the A's outfielder, sprinkled with questions by a crowd of mostly strangers hovering over him in the home dugout Wednesday morning, channeled the bravery mom Gretchen so strongly radiated during her yearlong battle with ALS and wholeheartedly embraced the opportunity to talk about her.
For nearly nine minutes, he spoke with such grace, revealing an impassioned gratitude from the depths of heartbreak.
It was his third day without mom. They haven't been easy, the grief overwhelming. But Piscotty has found brief moments of relief, even joy, through it all. His A's family has made sure of that.
Michael Piscotty, Stephen's father, got the royal treatment from the right-field bleacher crew at the Coliseum during Tuesday's game -- Stephen's first since Gretchen's passing. His son had just recorded a hit in his first at-bat -- an emotional scene for everyone that witnessed it -- and Michael was seen immersed among the right-field fanatics, their chanting and drumming often the heartbeat of this place.
Michael was invited to take the drumsticks, and he obliged, much to the delight of a certain onlooker from the A's dugout.
"It meant a lot to me, and I know it meant a lot to him and to my entire family," Stephen said. "We feel so at home here. The fans, the right-field crew out there have embraced us with open arms. I cracked a few smiles looking up there with the drumsticks in their hands. That was cool."
Five months have passed since the Cardinals swung a trade with the A's. It was a business deal, by and large, but the implications were twofold; Piscotty, no longer 2,000 miles away from mom and dad, could live with them in Pleasanton, Calif., and enjoy a 25-minute drive to work. He could help care for Gretchen. Hug her, love her. Brothers Austin and Nick did the same.
The trade was life-altering. The four Piscotty men showered Gretchen with around-the-clock care right up until the moment she died Sunday evening in the family's home.
"I wouldn't have traded that for the world," Piscotty said. "I can't imagine being 2,000 miles away or in a different place and not being around what all's been going. The trade has meant the world to me, and I know it did to my mom. Being able to really share every last moment together was something that just warms my heart. I'm so grateful for it. I'm at a loss for words. I'm just so glad to be home."
Gretchen remains near. This Piscotty knows, reminded of it often Wednesday when he returned to the comforting confines of the ballpark.
"All day, I didn't feel alone," he said. "I felt like someone was with me. I had a round in batting practice where I hit five homers out of five, and I've never done that. That's not me. I didn't feel alone. I felt like there was someone with me yesterday. I know it was her. She was with up there during that at-bat."
Piscotty acknowledged his mom with a simple, stirring gesture, tapping his heart while he was adorned with applause, from teammates, fans and the Astros.
"The hand over my heart, that's something my mom would do when she wasn't able to speak," he said. "It was just, 'I love you and thank you.' That's what I did in the box. I'm going to keep that with me."
The outfielder promptly singled, emotions reverberating in and all around him. Later, Michael was on the videoboard telling him, "Thatta boy."
"He's worked so, so hard. I thank him so much," Piscotty said. "I love him. He worked so hard throughout the progression of this disease. I just love him a lot.
"There's been a lot of care. With ALS, it robs you of many things. When you can't move and you can't talk, I'm sure people can imagine how difficult that is. There's a lot of lifting and getting my mom in certain chairs in comfortable places, making sure the mask is on and making sure she's getting food and fluids, medications. It was a full-time job, so to speak, and I know he was exhausted."
The Piscottys will honor Gretchen with a celebration of life service on Monday. Stephen will break from the A's when they depart for New York on Wednesday evening and rejoin them in Boston on Tuesday. He will surely grieve, he says, while simultaneously summoning the kind of strength his mom showed even when she physically had none.
Then he will use what's leftover to help fund research for the ALS Therapy Development Institute, which is dedicated to finding a cure for the debilitating disease that takes so much from so many. Piscotty has deemed it his mission, "prepared to accept it."
"I can't imagine what she was going through, what she was feeling," he said. "Putting on that front like she was OK. I think she was doing that for us. She was just so strong. That was one of things we stressed in the last week as things were kind of shaping to kind of be the end -- just making sure she knew how impressed we were and proud of her we were for how hard she fought.
"She's just a warrior. That's something that's at the front of my mind that I'm always going to remember, just how tough she is."


Xbox live I have 3 computers and 2 xboxs set up on my router. In order for xbox live to function properly you need to open ports 88, 2074 and 3074. Ive assigned a specific ip to my xbox and opened those ports. Ive also assigned another ip to my 2nd xbox but it seems that I can only open these ports for 1 ip. When I try to open them for the other it says "Entry containing one or more of the requested ports already exists" Is there any way around this? any suggestions?
How do I use my router so I can open NAT on my xbox for xbox live?
It also looks like you will have to set up a static address (I was looking at the .pdf for your particular router) You can do this by editing your network setting on your XBOX console, and then using this address as your "server" address when opening the above mentioned ports on your router.
I got a Motorola wired modem and it dosn't let me play xbox live why?
1 Connect only your Xbox and computer to the Internet. Disconnect all other devices. This is done to easily determine the Xbox's IP address, which is used in the Port Forwarding process.
2 Open the Windows Command Prompt from the Start Menu. Click "Start > Run...," then type in "cmd" and hit "OK."
3 Enter "ipconfig" n the command prompt. A list of IP addresses pop ups. Write down the IP address of your computer.
4 Open your router setup utility through a web browser. Use the given directions from your router manufacturer to do so. Generally, the configuration page is opened by inputting the router IP address into the URL in the following format: http://123.456.7.8/ (where the IP Address number is unique to the router manufacturer).
5 Open the "DCHP Client List" section of the router setup utility. This lists the devices currently connected to the Internet through the router, which is your computer and Xbox. Write down your Xbox's IP address (in this case, the one that is not your computer's IP address).
6 Navigate to the "Virtual Servers" or "Port Forwarding" menu in your router setup utility. Most manufacturers have a side menu on their router setup utility, which is generally a section under your "Firewall" settings.
Placing these numbers in the port forwarding menu opens up the required ports that your Xbox needs to connect to the Xbox LIVE network. Save this configuration.
8 Start up Xbox LIVE to check your connection. If you have no problem connecting, then you have successfully forwarded the required ports.
Have opened up the ports and dmz but when playing xbox live the NAT settings go back to strict, and i have to test the xbox internet settings for it to OPEN?
You can open the NAT settings of you router by accessing the router page. And by following the steps below.
9 Enable UPnP then check the connection.
Once you have all the wireless settings of the router, you are ready to connect the play station or the x-box to the wireless network.
On the x-box you will need to connect to the wireless network now.
Open the main Interface of the X-Box.
1. In the Xbox Dashboard, go to My Xbox and open System Settings.
2. Select Network Settings, Configure Network.
3. On the Basic Settings tab, select your wireless settings.
4. Select the name (SSID) of your wireless network. If your router isn't broadcasting your network's name, select Specify Unlisted Network and enter the name.
5. If your network has wireless security, enter your WEP or WPA key.
6. Try to connect to Xbox LIVE again.
Trouble connecting to the internet on X-box ,Play station or WII ?
You can try to reduce the MTU settings on the router. if the MTU on the router is set to 1500 then change the MTU to 1365. Also you will need to open the ports on the router.
For X-box port numbers are - 53, 80-88, 3074 .
A. Determine the IP Address and MAC Address of the Xbox.
Note: You may find the IP address and MAC address of your Xbox on your Dashboard's Network Settings. Please refer to your Xbox manual for more information on this.
B. Reserve the IP address.
1. Please open any web browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
3. For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. When prompted, enter admin for the User name and password for the Password, both in lower case letters.
Note: If it does not take password as the password, you might have changed it when you have run the NETGEAR Setup CD so please try other passwords. If you cannot remember the password, you need to reset the router and run the Setup CD to reconfigure it.
4. When the setup page opens, click on LAN IP Setup under Advanced tab.
5. Click on Add under Address Reservation.
6. Under Address Reservation window, please select the radio button of the computer you wish to add from the Address Reservation Table.
7. If the computer you want is not on the list, please click on the Refresh button to update the table.
8. If the computer is still not on the Address Reservation Table, please type in the IP Address, MAC Address, and Device Name of the computer you wish to add.
9. Click the Add button when done.
1. Click on the option with the name Port Forwarding/Port Triggering under the Advanced. For older firmware version, click on Port Triggering tab or just click Port Forwarding on Please select the service type.
2. Click Add and another window will pop up.
3. Type Xbox for Name. Set the radio button to Enable.
4. On Outgoing Port Range, set the Start Port and End Port to 3074.
5. On Incoming Port Range, you also have to indicate 3074 for Start Port and End Port. Save the settings by clicking on Apply.
6. Please repeat steps b to e and indicate 88 for Start Port and End Port. Then change the Name to Xbox2.
D. Lower down the MTU.
1. Access the Setup page of the router (refer to Step 2 above).
2. Click on the WAN Setup under Advanced tab.
3. Lower down the MTU size to 1492, 1400, 1358 or 1300.
1. Go to UPnP tab of the router.
2. Enable UPnP and then save the settings by clicking on Apply. Some websites and devices require UPnP or Universal Plug and Play. Just make sure that it is enabled on the router.
Note: Follow the steps below if the above troubleshooting still do not allow Xbox to connect using the router.
1. Please verify the router version and model either underneath or at its side panel.
2. Go to http://kbserver.NETGEAR.com/downloads_support.asp and please select the model of the router.
3. Click the appropriate version of the router.
4. Select the link of the latest firmware. Click the button Right-click and Save to Download. Save the file to the Desktop.
Note: Please perform firmware upgrade with Wired or Ethernet connection only.
5. Before upgrading, please write down all current settings since you need to enter them manually.
6. Using the computer hardwired on the router, please launch Internet Explorer and access the Setup page of the router (refer to Step 2).
7. Click on Maintenance and then Router Upgrade.
8. Click on Browse and locate the upgraded file in your Desktop. Then click on Upload.
9. Please wait for the router to reboot. After a successful firmware upgrade, you need to reset the router.
1. Please push the reset button at the back of the router and release after 30 seconds.
2. Unplug the power adapter for 10 seconds and then plug it back in.
(this note should go before the step to Reset the router) Note: Resetting the router will erase all the settings so it needs to be reconfigured afterwards. The router can be reconfigured using the setup CD or by manual configuration.
You then assign a the static IP you have set on your router, subnet, gateway and dns on your xbox and that should allow your xbox live to work properly with your router.
Here you go sir, follow the instructions in the link below and your Xbox live will report an OPEN NAT and it will fix your connection problems.

steer clear. not as advertised. Worthless load of S@#t. The reviews are clearly self generated lies to sell this rubbish.
This is a compilation of projects and pictures, not completed plans as described. I own a small business and purchased the package to help generate design ideas. This package does not contain any more information than you can gather from the books at the library and videos on youtube. I would suggest that individuals spend their time gathering information on project themselves (from the internet, magazines, even home-improvement shows)and put the library card to use. Meanwhile, small businesses won't benefit from this package of basic information.

? There's Nothing Else Like These Plans On The Market Today ...?
That's a statement I do not take .
But as I mentioned earlier, I've researched the market and all competing products.
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I have n't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars. Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to begin on your woodworking project, this is n't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be harebrained not to.
- I collected a enceinte stack of catalogs from seed farms and product manufacturers.??
- I even visited a couple of commercial-grade hydroponics farms and picked their brains.
I ended up more confused than ever.
Retailers all hawked"' the best systems"'.
I studied and surfed and bought and planted and ebbed and flowed.
The neighbors even started gossiping about me and Ralph, the UPS man.

Context: Having seen how many follow and have followed false religions, and having our reason utterly against many of the principal points of the Bible, we require the most perfect evidence of facts, before we can believe. If you can prove to me that one miracle took place, I will believe that he is a just God who damned us all because a woman ate an apple; and you can't expect greater complaisance than that to be sure.

STUDYING for an exam? Begin by thinking your way into a learning state.
Gabrieli and his colleagues used functional MRI scanning to monitor the naturally fluctuating brain activity of 20 volunteers and investigate whether the brain enters such a learning state. While in the scanner, each person was presented with 250 images, one at a time, and asked to memorise them. The volunteers were shown the images again 2 hours later – mixed in with 250 new ones – and asked to remember which they had seen before.
Looking through the results, the team was surprised to find that in the moments before individuals were shown images that they later remembered, they had low levels of activity in the parahippocampal place area – a region of the brain that is known to be highly active during learning. “Maybe the fact that this region was less active meant that the deck was cleared – that it was more open for a stimulus to provoke a response,” suggests Gabrieli.
To investigate further, the team attempted to boost subsequent participants’ memory test scores by presenting them with images only when they showed this pattern of brain activity. “There was around a 30 per cent improvement in the memory task,” Gabrieli says (NeuroImage, DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.07.063).
The MIT team is now working on a way to monitor this “preparedness to learn” using electroencephalography (EEG) – a more portable and much cheaper brain-monitoring technique. Gabrieli’s idea is to make learning more efficient by selectively teaching the prepared brain. “You could imagine a computer-based learning system which would stop when the brain is not prepared to learn and restart when it is,” he says.
A third approach would be to find a way of stimulating the same pattern in a person’s brain. It has already been shown that brain stimulation using electric currents can boost a number of cognitive functions (see “Apply the electrodes…”). Could it help make us better learners, too?
“Combining brain stimulation with Gabrieli’s approach could take performance to the next level,” says Cohen. He suggests training an individual once they have entered the preparedness state, and then stimulating areas of the brain known to be involved in memory consolidation to cement the learning process: perhaps the ultimate in brain optimisation.
Externally modulating the brain’s activity can boost its performance.
The easiest way to manipulate the brain is through transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which involves applying electrodes directly to the head to influence neuron activity with an electric current.
Roi Cohen Kadosh‘s team at the University of Oxford showed last year that targeting tDCS at the brain’s right parietal lobe can boost a person’s arithmetic ability – the effects were still apparent six months after the tDCS session (newscientist.com/article/dn19679).
More recently, Richard Chi and Allan Snyder at the University of Sydney, Australia, demonstrated that tDCS can improve a person’s insight. The pair applied tDCS to volunteers’ anterior frontal lobes – regions known to play a role in how we perceive the world – and found the participants were three times as likely as normal to complete a problem-solving task (newscientist.com/article/dn20080).
Brain stimulation can also boost a person’s learning abilities, according to Agnes Flöel‘s team at the University of Münster in Germany. Twenty minutes of tDCS to a part of the brain called the left perisylvian area was enough to speed up and improve language learning in a group of 19 volunteers (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, DOI: 10.1162/jocn.2008.20098).
Using the same technique to stimulate the brain’s motor cortex, meanwhile, can enhance a person’s ability to learn a movement-based skill (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0805413106).


The leader of the terrorist organization made a statement on the anniversary of 9/11.
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called on Muslims across the globe to fight Americans in a video published by the terror organization on the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the US.
In the 30-minute video, entitled "How do we face America?," Zawahiri, who replaced Osama bin Laden at the head of the terrorist group after his assassination in 2011, portrayed the United States as a religious enemy of Muslims, using the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as one of the examples of said religious enmity.
The Washington-based Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Institute, which monitors media material created by militants across the world, released an English transcript of the message.
"America [is] the number one enemy of Muslims… despite of its professed secularism," Zawahiri said in the video.
"Seventeen years have passed since [former US President George W.] Bush launched his crusader war against Muslims, a war linked with the historical enmity directed towards Islam from its dawn to this very day," he continued.
As he talked, he described his vision of the US' strategy against its enemies, saying Washington uses alliances to offset the costs of its wars and attempts to fragment its enemies with disinformation, among other tactics. He concluded by describing Americans as "weak, humble beings like the rest of mankind" and urged Muslims to strike "on the enemy's turf."
Zawahiri listed 14 directives to fight the United States, including an appeal for Muslim unity and for jihadists to close ranks.
Al-Qaeda, which lost the spotlight after the booming expansion of its top rival, the Islamic State, in 2014, took that time to reorganize itself and expand, experts say. The organization now has a strong presence all across northern Africa, according to infographics provided by the Sun, including in Tunisia and Libya, where it is particularly strong. The group also has a significant presence in India and Uzbekistan, but its main strongholds are Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
In Yemen, al-Qaeda is strong enough to convince the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-backed Houthi insurgency to pay off its fighters instead of engaging them in combat, according to a Breitbart report on the issue.
Despite the heavy-handed backlash that followed the 9/11 attack, the group is far from being destroyed.
"One-third of al-Qaeda's leadership was killed or captured in the following year" after the 9/11 attack, the Wire reports on the issue. "The group lost its safe haven in Afghanistan, including its extensive training infrastructure there. Its surviving members were on the run or in hiding. Though it took nearly 10 years, the US succeeded in killing al-Qaeda's founding leader, Osama bin Laden. Since 2014, al-Qaeda has been overshadowed by its former ally al-Qaeda in Iraq, now calling itself the Islamic State."
As international forces drive terrorists and militants from a variety of groups from Syria and Iraq, they are likely to realign themselves with al-Qaeda, UN experts told the Security Council in July.
"Al-Qaeda's leadership demonstrates strategic patience, and its regional affiliates exercise good tactical judgement, embedding themselves in local issues and becoming players," the report said at the time.


A superb double century from captain Alastair Cook saw England to 569-8, a lead of 46 runs, at the end of day four of the first Test against Pakistan.
Cook batted for 836 minutes in Abu Dhabi for his 263 - the third-longest innings by time in Test history, and the longest ever by an Englishman.
Joe Root made 85 and Ben Stokes hit 57 as Pakistan's bowlers toiled.
With two wickets remaining and England's first-innings lead slim, a draw remains the most likely result.
Cook eventually fell to off-spinner Shoaib Malik - himself a double centurion in the match - when he was caught at short fine leg sweeping.
The 30-year-old began the day on 168 and might have been dismissed only five runs later, when he inside-edged a delivery from Imran Khan and wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed dropped a difficult chance.
But thereafter the England skipper combined superbly with Root in a morning of trouble-free accumulation.
He moved to his double hundred - the third of his Test career, drawing him level with Kevin Pietersen - with a clip behind square off Wahab Riaz.
Root was eventually dismissed after lunch when he chased a wide delivery from Rahat Ali, but Cook's formidable powers of concentration proved greater.
Playing with immense discipline - he hit only three boundaries all day - the captain amassed the highest score by an English batsman overseas since Wally Hammond hit 336 against New Zealand in 1933.
He survived a fiery spell of reverse-swing bowling from Wahab Riaz - which accounted for Jonny Bairstow, trapped LBW for 8.
And he might even have been able to overtake his own career best of 294 - set against India at Edgbaston in 2010 - if the umpire had spotted that Malik appeared to overstep in delivering the wicket-taking ball.
Cook's knock beat the previous record for longest England innings by time, set by Len Hutton's 797-minute innings of 364 against Australia in 1938.
Only two Test innings have ever lasted longer: Hanif Mohammad's 970-minute 337 for Pakistan against West Indies in 1958, and Gary Kirsten's 878-minute 275 for South Africa against England in 1999.
Cook became only the second player ever to bat for more than 12 hours for the second occasion in his Test career - after Brian Lara.
During his innings, Cook also overtook the record for the most Test runs ever scored by an overseas batsman in Asia: he now has 2,065, beating Jacques Kallis's previous record of 2,058.
Root said Cook was "knackered" after his mammoth innings.
"He's played out his skin," he added. "It takes concentration and skill to bat for that long.
"We're thrilled for him and it's given us a chance of a result."
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said Cook's innings displayed "patience and determination".
"He just went along serenely," he said. "It was a splendid innings of everything that's needed to bat."
Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan praised Cook's "art and talent of concentration".
He said: "Ball by ball, over by over. He keeps it very simple. It was low-risk cricket in a routine that he has honed over many years of playing, delivered in that kind of heat and pressure.
"I'd put him with Geoffrey Boycott in terms of concentration, which is the biggest strength an opening batsman needs."
It was another tough day for the bowlers on a pitch that has offered precious little assistance.
And just as in England's innings, it was the spinners who bore the brunt of the batting-friendly conditions.
After England's Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid went for 0-121 and 0-163 respectively in the first innings of the match, Pakistan's Zulfiqar Babar became the third bowler of the match to concede a century of runs without taking a wicket.
It was part-timer Malik who made the first breakthrough for spin in the match when he bowled Stokes - with spinners having bowled 170.1 wicketless overs for 565 runs prior to that point.
Zulfiqar was into his 69th over - within sight of the world record for wicketless overs in an innings, which stands at 72 - when he induced Jos Buttler to loft a drive into the hands of Asad Shafiq at deep cover.


ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) and SVM (Support Vector Machines) are two popular strategies for supervised machine learning and classification. It's not often clear which method is better for a particular project, and I'm certain the answer is always "it depends." Often, a combination of both along with Bayesian classification is used.
Support Vector Machine or Artificial Neural Network for text processing?
(2) ANNs often overfit if training goes on too long, meaning that for any given pattern, an ANN might start to consider the noise as part of the pattern.
SVMs don't suffer from either of these two problems. However, it's not readily apparent that SVMs are meant to be a total replacement for ANNs. So what specific advantage(s) does an ANN have over an SVM that might make it applicable for certain situations? I've listed specific advantages of an SVM over an ANN, now I'd like to see a list of ANN advantages (if any).
Judging from the examples you provide, I'm assuming that by ANNs, you mean multilayer feed-forward networks (FF nets for short), such as multilayer perceptrons, because those are in direct competition with SVMs.
One specific benefit that these models have over SVMs is that their size is fixed: they are parametric models, while SVMs are non-parametric. That is, in an ANN you have a bunch of hidden layers with sizes h1 through hn depending on the number of features, plus bias parameters, and those make up your model. By contrast, an SVM (at least a kernelized one) consists of a set of support vectors, selected from the training set, with a weight for each. In the worst case, the number of support vectors is exactly the number of training samples (though that mainly occurs with small training sets or in degenerate cases) and in general its model size scales linearly. In natural language processing, SVM classifiers with tens of thousands of support vectors, each having hundreds of thousands of features, is not unheard of.
Also, online training of FF nets is very simple compared to online SVM fitting, and predicting can be quite a bit faster.
EDIT: all of the above pertains to the general case of kernelized SVMs. Linear SVM are a special case in that they are parametric and allow online learning with simple algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent.
One obvious advantage of artificial neural networks over support vector machines is that artificial neural networks may have any number of outputs, while support vector machines have only one. The most direct way to create an n-ary classifier with support vector machines is to create n support vector machines and train each of them one by one. On the other hand, an n-ary classifier with neural networks can be trained in one go. Additionally, the neural network will make more sense because it is one whole, whereas the support vector machines are isolated systems. This is especially useful if the outputs are inter-related.
For example, if the goal was to classify hand-written digits, ten support vector machines would do. Each support vector machine would recognize exactly one digit, and fail to recognize all others. Since each handwritten digit cannot be meant to hold more information than just its class, it makes no sense to try to solve this with an artificial neural network.
However, suppose the goal was to model a person's hormone balance (for several hormones) as a function of easily measured physiological factors such as time since last meal, heart rate, etc ... Since these factors are all inter-related, artificial neural network regression makes more sense than support vector machine regression.
One thing to note is that the two are actually very related. Linear SVMs are equivalent to single-layer NN's (i.e., perceptrons), and multi-layer NNs can be expressed in terms of SVMs. See here for some details.
If you want to use a kernel SVM you have to guess the kernel. However, ANNs are universal approximators with only guessing to be done is the width (approximation accuracy) and height (approximation efficiency). If you design the optimization problem correctly you do not over-fit (please see bibliography for over-fitting). It also depends on the training examples if they scan correctly and uniformly the search space. Width and depth discovery is the subject of integer programming.
and you draw examples and tests (x,y) with a distribution D on IxI.
Let me explain why, if you select aa such that the error is minimized, then for a rare set of values you have perfect fit. However, since they are rare the average is never 0. You want to minimize the second although you have a discrete approximation to D. And keep in mind that the support length is free.
One answer I'm missing here: Multi-layer perceptron is able to find relation between features. For example it is necessary in computer vision when a raw image is provided to the learning algorithm and now Sophisticated features are calculated. Essentially the intermediate levels can calculate new unknown features.
We should also consider that the SVM system can be applied directly to non-metric spaces, such as the set of labeled graphs or strings. In fact, the internal kernel function can be generalized properly to virtually any kind of input, provided that the positive definiteness requirement of the kernel is satisfied. On the other hand, to be able to use an ANN on a set of labeled graphs, explicit embedding procedures must be considered.
