(CNN) -- The fourth quarter of 2009 for the music and video game industries is shaping up to be all about the Beatles. And both could use some "Help!" The video game industry has high hopes The Beatles 'Rock Band' will pull it out of recession. The band, which released its last full album of original music in 1970, is the focus of the simultaneous Wednesday release of "The Beatles: Rock Band" for the Rock Band video game franchise, as well as the digitally remastered box set of the Beatles 13-album discography by EMI. Analysts expect a spike in video game and CD sales, which have been declining through the year. For audiophiles the release of the remastered CDs in mono and stereo is the first re-release of the Beatles catalogue since 1987. "It's probably the biggest catalogue remaster that has ever happened," said Paul Bromby, EMI's senior marketing manager heading the re-release for the London-based company. Watch more about the 21st century Beatles » . Given the state of CD sales, it may also be the last major event of its kind: Sales of CDs in the United States last year dropped 19 percent, according to entertainment market researcher the NPD Group, while purchases of digital downloads increased by 29 percent. Forrester Research estimates digital downloads will outstrip CD sales by 2012. Why do the Beatles mean so much to the music industry? » . The remastered CDs are also a first step toward the Beatles catalogue eventual release for digital download. Allan Rouse, project coordinator on the reissue for EMI, told CNN the new masters are ready for digital download if and when EMI and Apple Corp. -- which represents surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Star, and the estates of George Harrison and John Lennon -- make them available for release. Still, the increase in the release of digital music -- which now accounts for a third of all sales, according to NPD -- isn't enough to make up for the total loss of sales. In 2008, there were 13 million fewer U.S. music buyers than the previous year. That is making video game releases by Rock Band and Guitar Hero, where players compete to strum in time on plastic guitars to original recordings, an increasingly important crossover player in the music industry. "There's a lot of excitement (in the video game industry) because this is the first game since the Wii Fit that is aimed for a mass market," said Michael Pachter, a video game analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities, who first tried his hand at The Beatles game with George Harrison's son, Dahni, at the E3 Expo, where the game debuted in June. Like the Wii Fit -- an exercise-along Nintendo game that was a breakout hit since its global release in 2008 -- "The Beatles: Rock Band" is expected to attract game buyers beyond "hardcore gamers," Pachter said. "Guitar Hero and Rock Band expanded gaming more to families, something that parents in their 40s could play along with their teenage girls," Pachter said. "But most of these compilations have bands that probably half the parents never heard of. Everyone knows the Beatles. You can't say that about many bands." "The Beatles: Rock Band" will have 45 songs representing a cross-section of their career. Additional music from The Beatles catalogue will be made available for purchase and download including "Abbey Road," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Rubber Soul," to be released in October, November and December, respectively -- giving a boost to the sale of Beatles songs through the end of the year. See images of Abbey Road studios » . Pachter estimates the video game will sell 5 million units globally by the end of the year, with prices ranging from more than $50 to $250 for a limited-edition package with Beatles guitar and drum set controllers. Video games sales have dropped nearly 20 percent from last year. The Beatles release is expected to be a boon for music-based video games, which had U.S. revenues of $452 million the first half of this year, compared to $840 million during the same period last year, according to NPD. Console wars heat up » . Another industry closely watching the Beatles game release and the popularity of plastic fake guitars are the makers of real musical instruments. Sales of guitars exploded with the popularity of the Beatles in the 1960s. Will new Beatles fans via Rock Hero be inspired to buy the real thing? While the guitar is still the most popular musical instrument, guitar sales in the U.S. -- which accounts for 42 percent of global sales -- dropped 6.6 percent to $1.6 billion last year, the largest drop in more than a decade, according to Music Trades. "There has been some evidence of people crossing over to real guitars after playing the games, however, it's not large enough to be measurable," said Brian Majeski, editor of Music Trades.. "Most in the industry view it as a net positive -- making music is better than shooting bad guys."

Nitrous Oxide is a chemical that breaks down into oxygen and nitrogen when heated by the combustion creating a large amount of oxygen which then allows you to burn more fuel and make more power.

The first paragraph in the answer to this question applies in your case (possible duplicate question?). As you run a full client (Bitcoin Core) it's easy, as Bitcoin Cash has equivalent apps which are forks of this. I used Bitcoin ABC. I used a separate machine for the Bitcoin Cash wallet. It may be possible to run both on the same machine (with different data directories - see this issue) but despite being called 'Bitcoin ABC.app' if you try and install it on the same machine as one with Bitcoin Core, you will get a message offering to overwrite the latter. Comments on how to accomplish this on one machine are welcome. Backup Bitcoin Core wallet (~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat) to a USB stick (we'll transfer it later). This is the key do, which of course you will have done already On the second machine download Bitcoin ABC from bitcoinabc.org. Currently it is the .dmg file in the osx directory. I expect they'll improve the UX to have an easy Mac-specific download button soon. To get the blockchain to sync either just run Bitcoin ABC until it does (it'll download a chain similar in size to the Bitcoin Core one i.e. - 150GB+) or copy the legacy part of the chain (common to both coins) from the Bitcoin Core data directory. As OP comments, a Time Machine or other backup is perfect for this. I'll update this answer if someone can comment on exactly how to do it without one, as ideally you'll need most of the contents of the blocks and chainstate directories - up until just before the fork date; 1 August. You'd then only need to sync since then. Overwrite the new wallet.dat file Bitcoin ABC created (same location as above) with the one from step 1. With both apps synced you should now be able to send/receive BTC/BCC independently of each other from the relevant app - i.e you now own both. Should you come down on one side of the fence & sell all of either you can of course remove it's app, data directory & return the spare/borrowed machine. In terms of dont's, you should ignore any advice to export/mess with your private keys - especially is someone offers to claim your BCC coins for you if you send your keys..

There's a peak absorbance of rods and cones in the retina. Humans have three peaks which represent the primary colors (for light) red, green, and blue. The colors we see are our brain's interpretation of input on those three colors plus general light level input from rods. Based on the numbers of rods and cones and the absorbance spectra of the different cones, researches can get an idea of the color vision of different animals.\n\nMost mammals are dichromatic (two colors). Note how non-colorful they tend to be. Certain primates are trichromatic (three colors). Birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects are also trichromatic or more. Note how colorful they tend to be.

The box proclaims "Sweetened with Honey", and honey granules are listed as the first ingredient, so I thought, finally, something that is just lightly sweetened. Uh, no, once I tasted it I double checked the fine print ingredients and saw that there is Sucralose in it. While honey granules might be the largest ingredient by volume, by taste, it is overwhelmed by the artificial sweetener. When a maker is so deceptive in the presentation of the product, it makes me wonder what else is misleading in it.<br /><br />I tried diluting it, in order to reduce the sweetness. Well, the berry flavor receded into the background, but it was still too sweet. Too bad.....<br /><br />It tastes like punch, and the convenience factor is great. I love the way there are so many of these little single serve water flavors available now, but the artificially sweetened ones are way too sweet, as is this one. For now I stick to True Lemon unsweetened, and the other unsweetened flavor products from that company.<br /><br />If you like drinks to taste sweet, with a sweetness that lingers in your mouth for many minutes after taking just a sip, you'll probably like this product.

Patients at 40 GP surgeries in the London borough of Hackney were given finger-prick HIV testing when registering. The study, in the Lancet, found this raised the rate of diagnosis four-fold. The Terrence Higgins Trust welcomed the findings and called on healthcare commissioners to act on them. Public Health England already recommends that all GPs in areas where HIV prevalence is high, or extremely high, should offer testing to everyone who registers with the practice and has not previously been diagnosed with the virus. Around 86,000 patients in Hackney, which has a high HIV prevalence rate - eight in 1,000 people - were tested as part of the research. Alex Causton-Ronaldson, who was diagnosed with HIV in 2014, says more accessible testing in GP surgeries would have greatly benefited him. He learned of his diagnosis at the age of 24 and said: "I lost loads of weight really rapidly. I started getting this rash all over my body and I didn't know what it was," he said. "I was exhausted and skinny." At the time, he was living with his parents in Norwich, which has a relatively low prevalence of HIV, and had to get a test elsewhere. A positive result came through a week later. Alex said: "I cried like I've never cried before." The late diagnosis meant he was taken to hospital affected by a condition called thrombocytopenia, where his body would not clot blood. "I got put in a wheelchair because I couldn't get knocked or bruised, or even a paper cut," he explained. "If the test was more accessible, I could have been diagnosed earlier and kept out of hospital." In the UK around 13,500 people do not know that they have HIV, meaning they miss out on treatment, remain infectious to others and are more expensive to treat. Dr Werner Leber, from Queen Mary University of London, one of the study's authors, said: "We've shown that HIV screening in UK primary care is cost-effective and potentially cost-saving, which is contrary to widespread belief. "This is an important finding, given today's austerity." The researchers called on healthcare commissioners to invest in rolling out HIV screening to all 74 local authorities in England with high HIV prevalence. They said testing had fallen in some areas because of financial pressures on local-authority budgets. Their work shows costs are high at first - because more people will be diagnosed and need anti-retroviral treatment - but these programmes become cost-effective in the longer-term. This is because onward transmission of the virus is brought under control, and people who start treatment sooner stand the best chance of staying healthy. Dr Michael Brady, from the Terrence Higgins Trust, called on healthcare commissioners to act on the findings. "One in seven people living with HIV do not know that they have it. Undiagnosed HIV infection puts individuals at risk of preventable illness and death," he said. Alex Causton-Ronaldson now lives a healthy life in London with HIV. He would love to see testing be more accessible across the country. He said: "If everyone was tested and on drugs, so it's undetectable and can't be passed on, we could stop the spread of HIV in our lifetime."

press release Parliament has approved a formula for the disbursement of an amount of GH¢ 790, 224, 1499.00 billion by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) for the year 2017. The formula was approved in accordance with Section 8 (2) of the GETFund Act 581, which enjoins the Board of Trustees of the Fund to annually submit to Parliament for approval, a formula for the distribution of monies into desiccated accounts of tertiary education and second cycle education institutions, basic education schools and other related aspects of education. Per the formula, an amount of GH¢ 255,500,000.00 would be allocated to the tertiary sub-sector while GH¢242, 019, 14.10 would go to secondary cycle education. Also, an amount of GH¢ 50,400,000 million, GH¢ 15,125,000 and GH¢ 4,425,000 are expected to be allocated to GETFund and the Ministry of Education, the MPs Emergency Projects and monitoring respectively. Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Majority Leader, Mr. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, who presented a report of the Committee of the Whole on the formula on behalf of its Chairman, Mr. Joseph Osei- Owusu, said the GET Fund's new areas of focus for the year 2017, includes fencing of schools with high risk of encroachment, provision of white boards in schools, construction of kindergarten facilities as well as regulatory and policy reforms. He added that the structure of spending the amount approved was aligned to the educational sector's priority projects and programmes, which includes the provision of academic facilities and infrastructure, scholarships, allocation of funds to the Students Loan Trust Fund, procurement of teaching and learning materials as well as demystifying and popularising Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (SMET) and Information Communication Technology (ICT). The committee, according to him, expressed concerns over the delays in the payment of remaining accruals for 2016 and urged the Ministry of Finance to release the outstanding amount of GH¢94.554,979.93 as a matter of urgency to enable the GETFund meet its 2016 commitments and liabilities. A former Deputy Minister for Education and MP for North Tongu, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in a contribution to the motion said the capping of statutory funds by the government in its 2017 budget was as a result of the reduction of the total amount approved. He urged government to increase the allocations to meet the deficit in the education sector and match up the expectations of the free Senior High School policy which would command massive infrastructure and logistical provisions. A Deputy Minister for Education, Barbara Ayisi, explained that existing schools without kindergartens would be provided with kindergartens during the year to deepen the quality of education even at the pre-school level, adding that the reduction in the allocations would not affect the policy because the funds would be judiciously used. The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, on his part said government's promises captured in the budget under education could be attained if the government increased the allocation to the Fund which would be the vehicle to deliver the promises.

Jerrold Packard tackles the uneviable task of having to sort out how five very different countries managed to stay neutral during World War II. Packard gives a country by country view in a concise chronology. Packard is not an appologist for any of these countries and in light of the controversy regarding Switzerland's role during the war it's very timely. Packard provides great insight into how precarious the situation was for all five countries in light of the presure from not only the Axis powers but the Allies. Packard touches on some of the complicity between Sweden, Switzerland and Spain with regard to the Germans but fails to delve in too deeply. It's a shame this was written before the Swiss controversy became more public, but in fairness that's a book in itself. The thumbnail sketches of the principals shows they were truly equals of Machiavelli and learned how to survive in precarious times.

Waiting for election results.... perusing Reddit

It’s been more than a year since Paul Manafort briefly led President Trump’s quest for the White House and even longer since he worked for a controversial Ukrainian politician. Manafort and his former business partner Richard Gates, 45, were told to turn themselves into federal authorities last month. The charges against Manafort and Gates were among the first to be brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his probe into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election. Manafort, 68, pleaded not guilty to all charges and was placed under house arrest with a $10 million bond. While under house arrest, Manafort worked on an op-ed with a colleague who was “assessed to have ties” to a Russian intelligence service, according recently filed to court papers. Manafort's next court hearing is scheduled for the morning of Jan. 16, 2018. Manafort has been the subject of a longstanding investigation due to his past dealings in Ukraine several years ago – for which he didn’t file as a foreign agent until June 2017. But Mueller has incorporated that investigation into his own probe into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump associates. What kind of foreign work did Manafort do? A GOP operative who worked for former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, Manafort reportedly began his work with Republican politics in the 1970s. Eventually, Manafort was hired by controversial former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russia politician who was ousted from power twice. After Yanukovych was eventually elected president in 2010, Manafort reportedly stayed on as an adviser and worked with other projects in Eastern Europe, including the Party of Regions political party. Manafort also worked for Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska. In 2005, Manafort came up with a plan to influence U.S. politics, business dealings and the media in order to “greatly benefit the Putin Government,” according to the Associated Press. TRUMP AND THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION: WHAT TO KNOW Deripaska, 49, is a close Vladimir Putin ally and signed a $10 million annual contract with Manafort in 2006. They maintained a business relationship until at least 2009, the Associated Press reported. Financial records obtained by the New York Times indicated that Manafort was in debt to pro-Russian interests by up to $17 million prior to joining Trump’s campaign. He also took at least 18 trips to Moscow and frequently talked to Putin allies for about 10 years, McClatchy reported. He also traveled to Kiev at least 19 times in 20 months after the February 2014 of Ukraine’s pro-Russia leader. How was Manafort involved with Trump's campaign? Manafort joined then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign in March 2016 to help wrangle delegates ahead of the Republican National Convention in Ohio, something he successfully did for former President Gerald Ford. Just two months later, Manafort became campaign chairman. Manafort’s resignation from the campaign was announced on August 19, 2016, after the New York Times reported that he received $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments from Yanukovych’s pro-Russian party between 2007 and 2012. MANAFORT FACES NEW MONEY LAUNDERING PROBE Along with Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s eldest son, Manafort met with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskay in June 2016. She was said to have damaging information on Trump’s campaign rival, Hillary Clinton, which was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump." What has the White House said? Manafort’s alleged actions took place before he joined the Trump campaign, the president said on Twitter. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders also downplayed Manafort’s involvement with the campaign in a press briefing. Could he help investigators discover if Trump associates colluded with Russia? Mueller took over the criminal investigation into Manafort’s financial dealings as he looks into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the White House. In recent months, Manafort has turned over documents to congressional committees investigating election interference. Judiciary committee leaders have been in talks with Manafort regarding private interviews. Manafort’s house was raided earlier this summer by FBI investigators, and he was reportedly wiretapped by investigators – before and after the election. A secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court order authorized the wiretapping of Manafort in 2014. It was discontinued in 2016, but investigators obtained another warrant that lasted until early 2017, CNN reported. Fox News' Jake Gibson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The vast majority (approximately 80%) of parotid neoplasms are benign; these are discussed in detail in the Medscape Reference article Benign Parotid Tumors. The paired parotid glands are formed as epithelial invaginations into the embryological mesoderm and first appear at approximately 6 weeks gestation.

In only 39 years, the young man from the city of Rosario accomplished something not achieved by many who lived a century. He became part of the people’s history and remains so today. | [email protected] Che’s Bolivian Diary contains entries from only the first week of October – the final days of the enduring life of the heroic guerilla. In his summary of the month of September, he wrote, “The army is now showing its effectiveness in action and the bulk of campesinos won’t help us at all, and are becoming informers.” The proximity of army forces in the area in which Che’s guerillas were moving was a constant theme in his notes, be it a result of chance sightings or news heard on the radio, which as is often the case in such situations, could well contain misinformation purposefully disseminated to put pressure on the revolutionaries. Broadcast on the radio in fact (October 4), was a commentary that foreshadowed the events, projecting possible scenarios of a trial of the guerilla leader after his capture. The speaker did consider the fact that Che would not give himself up without a struggle, except in extraordinary circumstances like those that eventually occurred. On October 5 and 6 soldiers were again sighted and the radio reported a disproportionate number of troops searching for the small number of guerillas. It was the prelude to the last note Che would write in his notebook. October 7, final entry: A chance encounter with a woman crossing their path through the mud and a radio report. Beyond this, the mention of four comrades, but no indication of desperation. This was the human being murdered in Bolivia 50 years ago, who had accumulated much experience in guerilla struggle, both in Cuba and on African soil. The same man who in December of 1964 had summarized his internationalism in a few phrases before the United Nations General Assembly, saying “… at the moment it may be necessary, I am willing to give my life for the liberation of any Latin American country, without asking anything of anyone.” Che Guevara during target practice For Che, the idea of death, as part of the revolutionary struggle, was nothing foreign, nor a motive for fear. He was very clear: “In a revolution, one triumphs, or one dies (if it is a real one).” He was true to this principle until the last moment of his life. Since his untimely death, the tributes to the paradigm of a new man, in every corner of the globe, have not ceased. In Cuba, 1968 was declared the Year of the Heroic Guerilla. For decades, youth departed for Africa and Latin America to complete internationalist missions, inspired by his example. Hundreds of thousands immortalize his likeness on clothes and in tattoos; others venerate him like a saint; more than a few are committed to disseminating his thought and work. Guerrillas in Bolivia. In only 39 years, the young man from the city of Rosario accomplished something not achieved by many who lived a century. He became part of the people’s history and remains so today, from the time of his travels across the continent of his birth, and his participation in the Cuban Revolution (first as a Rebel Army Comandante and then playing a leadership role in the country) to his departure to other lands calling for his contribution. Asking for nothing, and giving his all, he left much more than his celebrated “Hasta la victoria siempre” (Forever onward to victory). His exemplary life and action are here. They never die. Che Comandante Not because you have fallen is your light less bright. A stead of fire sustains your guerilla presence sculpted in the wind and clouds of the Sierra. Not because you are hushed are you silent. Not because they burned you, because they concealed you beneath the earth, because they hid you in cemeteries, woods, barren plains, are they going to prevent us from finding you, Che Comandante, With its teeth of jubilation North America laughs. A little early, stir in your deathbed of dollars. Your laughter will freeze in a mask, and your great steeled body rises, disseminated among guerillas like horseflies, and your immense name wounded by soldiers illuminates the American night with a shooting star, fallen amidst an orgy. You knew it, Guevara, but you said nothing, out of modesty, to not talk about yourself, Che Comandante, You are everywhere. In the Indian made of dreams and copper. In the Black immersed in the maddened crowd, in the being of oil workers and salt miners, in the terrible abandon of the banana, in the great plains of leather, and in the sugar and salt of coffee plantations, you, immobile statue of your blood they shed, alive, against their wishes, Che Comandante, Cuba knows you by heart. Face with a beard that lightens. And marble and olive in the skin of a young saint. A firm voice that directs without ordering, gentle and hard, of a comrade commander. We see you every day minister, every day soldier, every day easygoing and difficult, every day. Pure as a child or as a pure man Che Comandante, You pass in your faded, torn, field uniform full of holes. In the jungle, as it was before in the Sierra. Half bare the powerful chest of guns and words, of fiery gale and gentle rose. There is no rest. Health, Guevara! Or better yet, from the depths of America: Wait for us. We will depart with you. We want to die to live like you have died, to live like you live, Che Comandante, Nicolás Guillén

I roast at home the coffee I brew and I find really helpful descriptions of the cultivars from the vendor I purchase my green bean from, Sweet Maria's. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for and I'm reluctant to post a link to a commercial site, but I think they're easily found if you'd like to see if they have the kind of information you're looking for.

The following may be checked in for instance [this Wikipedia article]. In the UK, the usual question tag after a statement using an auxiliary mirrors the auxiliary in the statement but reverses polarity: He's tall, isn't he? She's not daft, is she? He can swim, can't he? He can't swim, can he? It's beautiful, isn't it!/? It's not good news, is it? She should apply for promotion, shouldn't she? She shouldn't hide her light under a bushel, should she? He would pass easily if he worked harder, wouldn't he? He wouldn't pass even if he worked harder though, would he./? 'Had better/rather' do have a more cohesive nature than say 'is really' ('would better' is not in any way unary, though 'would better be [used etc]' are used: 'she'd better' etc in these constructions is always a contraction of 'she had better' etc). See these Google 5grams: But, though had better/rather' do have a cohesive nature, the form of the tag still reflects that required by the simplex verb: He'd better / He had better try harder, hadn't he!/? References are not easy to find; this is a repeat of the answer given on UsingEnglish.com many years ago. Note that the expanded (but archaic-sounding) expanded version is 'He had better try harder, had he not!/?' (though doubtless in the days when this sounded natural the use of the exclamation mark for the exclamatory version would have been considered improper). Note also that the non-reversed tag question, where it is the judgement of the speaker / reliability of received wisdom rather than the clinical accuracy of the statement that is being queried (of course some tag 'questions' are really just polite attention / focusing / coercing devices: 'You'd be stupid not to consider this / agree'), is sometimes used: He's only doing 6 hours homework a night. He'll never pass his A-Levels at this rate. He'd better try harder! ... He'd better try harder, had he? ......... He can swim, can he? So why is he shouting for help? In the shallow end!

LONDON — Five versions of a Vincent van Gogh masterpiece are being reunited for the first time in a “virtual exhibition.” Van Gogh painted his “Sunflowers” series in the south of France in 1888 and 1889. Five versions of work reside in five different museums on three continents. On Monday they will all be streamed to a global audience in a Facebook Live broadcast. The broadcast will begin in London’s National Gallery at 1650GMT (12:50 a.m. EDT). Then it heads to Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Tokyo’s Seiji Togo Memorial Museum of Art. A curator from each museum will describe what makes their version unique. Last week the museums launched a virtual-reality experience that shows viewers all five “Sunflowers” in one room.

By | Published: 12:38 am Den of Thieves is a convolutedly narrated heist film that involves concepts from other superior crime thrillers of the past. With a handful of stylish shootouts, chase sequences and other confrontations bridged together by a lacklustre screenplay, this over-the-top crime saga is a predictable derivative saga of cops and robbers. The film begins with some onscreen graphics informing us about some true-life statistics about bank robberies in the US. Apparently, a bank robbery occurs every 48 minutes there. Given this information, one expects that the opening sequence in Los Angeles would give us an adrenaline-packed thrilling insight into one such robbery. But instead, we witness a run-of-the-mill heist of an armoured truck by a very well armed gang of thieves. This dacoity is led by Ray Merriman (Pablo Schreiber) a one-time special forces soldier and criminal mastermind and cohorts including Enson (Curtis “50 Cents Jackson) and Bosco (Evan Jones). Despite the robbers’ military precision, there are fatalities on both sides. And to the amusement of his colleagues, Ray mentions, “We are cop killers now.” The case catches the attention of the Major Crimes unit of the local sheriff’s department, led by Nick Flanagan (Gerard Butler) who is also known as “Big Nick” among his co-workers. While surveying the scene of the crime, we learn that he is at loggerheads with the head of FBI. At the same time, he is wary and anxious as he gravely says, “We’re dealing with a different animal here, boys.” To top it all, Nick has a troubled personal life. He tells us that he and his unit are bad guys and there’s no reason to doubt that claim. The battle of wills between Ray and Nick aspires an epic level, but the characters exhibit far less real respect for one another. The bad blood incorporates a personal element where both Ray and Nick casually indulge in sex with the same person. Personal foibles apart, Ray and his team eye the Los Angeles branch of the Federal Reserve. In order to succeed in their endeavour, they rope in a genial bartender Donnie (O’Shea Jackson Jr) who is skilled in speed racing. But Nick, who tries to stay a step ahead of Ray, roughs up Donnie who knows the consequences of turning into an informer. The plot takes a convoluted route. It oscillates back and forth between the two sides, offering would-be poignant exchanges. It teases the audience unnecessarily with personal issues and wastes precious time that could have been spent on the tense heist and its explosive aftermath, which is where the viewer wants to be. The execution in these moments is thrilling, although muddied by a final plot twist. There is not much time spent on motives or on explaining the ridiculous twist at the end. Also, parts of the film remind you of scenes in “The Usual Suspects” and the 1995 released film “Heat”. As for the performances, despite packed with testosterone-fuelled swagger and tough guy posturing by its ace-cast, the poorly developed characters are its undoing. Without much meaningful character development, the lines between heroes and villains blur. While the film majorly focuses on Butler and Pablo Schreiber who deliver compelling performances, the others too have their moments of onscreen glory. Though the story lacks in originality, it displays more brawn than brains and excels in its production values. The production designs, cinematography, editing and background-score are all of ace quality.

The governing board of the University of Virginia decided to reinstate the president it had ousted earlier this month. The AP reports the 15-member board voted unanimously to give Teresa Sullivan her job back, after it faced scathing criticism for its original decision, which students and faculty thought had been reached in a secretive manner. "I want to partner with you in bringing about what's best for the university," Sullivan said after the vote. The AP adds: A majority of the 15-member board was needed to approve the reinstatement for Sullivan to remain in office. Rector Helen Dragas, who was central to the initial move to oust the president, opened the meeting with comments seeking to reunite the university community. She said she was convinced the university would emerge stronger after the controversy and reiterated an apology for the way the matter was handled initially. "'The situation became enormously dramatized and emotionally charged,' she said Tuesday. 'I sincerely apologize for the way this was presented and you deserve better." The Washington Post reports that when today's decision was announced "we could hear cheering from outside the Rotunda where hundreds of people are gathered on the Lawn." Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell told the board members they had make a final decision about Sullivan today or they should hand him their resignation. Bloomberg reports that this kind of revolt has not been seen since Lawrence Summers was ousted as president of Harvard in 2006. "Summers stepped down as faculty were preparing a second no-confidence vote in objection to his autocratic work style and comments he made suggesting that women lacked an aptitude for science," Bloomberg reports. "He later became director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and still teaches at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government." The Washington Post has a bit more on the differences that led to this moment: "Last week Dragas published a 10-point critique of Sullivan's two-year tenure, asserting that the former University of Michigan provost had no concrete plan to move the university forward in such key areas as fund-raising and faculty pay. "But many detractors contend Dragas never built a credible case against Sullivan. In the end, the dispute came down to what was described as a "philosophical difference." Sullivan sought to bring change to the university from the ground up, through a process of building consensus and empowering individual academic units. Dragas and her allies thought Sullivan was moving far too slowly in an economic climate that demanded swift and decisive action."

Imagine that the mirror was a pane of glass instead of a mirror. Now put yourself on the other side of the pane of glass at the same distance you were to the mirror. Looking through the pane of glass you'll see things from the same distance as they would have appeared in the mirror. It's just that now the light is going straight through the glass instead of bouncing from the mirror to your eye. To expand on what TheCheshireCody said, The distance from your eyes to the mirror (or pane of glass) is A, and the distance from the mirror (or pane of glass) is B, then the total viewing distance or distance the light has to travel and the distance you have to focus your eyes for is A + B.

Rings of gas and dust are known to encircle Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. Scientists recently discovered a fifth member of this haloed group known as Chariklo, which is one of a class of minor 'centaur' planets. Now astronomers have detected a possible ring system around a second centaur, Chiron, suggesting that ringed bodies may be more common in our solar system previously thought. Scientists have detected a possible Saturn-like ring system (pictured) around a minor, Chiron, suggesting that ringed bodies may be more common in our solar system previously thought . Like their mythological counterparts, centaurs are hybrids, embodying traits of both asteroids and comets. Today, scientists estimate there are more than 44,000 centaurs in the solar system, concentrated mainly in a band between the orbits of Jupiter and Pluto. Chiron, discovered in 1977, was the first planetary body categorised as a centaur, after the mythological Greek creature -- a hybrid of man and beast. To discover the rings, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology observed the dimming of a star as Chiron passed in front of it, briefly blocking the light. By looking at how much and when the light was blocked, scientists say the centaur may possess a circulating disk of debris. 'It's interesting, because Chiron is a centaur - part of that middle section of the solar system, between Jupiter and Pluto, where we originally weren't thinking things would be active, but it's turning out things are quite active,' says Amanda Bosh, a lecturer in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. It follows the discovery of rings around a giant asteroid called Chariklo last year. 'I try to imagine how it would be to stand on the surface of this icy object, small enough that a fast sports car could reach escape velocity and drive off into space, and stare up at a 20 kilometer wide ring system 1,000 times closer than the moon,' said Uffe Gråe Jørgensen of the University of Copenhagen of the Chariklo study. Chiron, discovered in 1977, was the first planetary body categorised as a centaur, after the mythological Greek creature -- a hybrid of man and beast. Like their mythological counterparts, centaurs are hybrids, embodying traits of both asteroids and comets. Today, scientists estimate there are more than 44,000 centaurs in the solar system, concentrated mainly in a band between the orbits of Jupiter and Pluto. While most centaurs are thought to be dormant, scientists have seen glimmers of activity from Chiron. Chiron was discovered in 1977 by Charles Kowal recovery images have been found as far back as 1895, it was the first-known member of a class of objects now known as centaurs, with an orbit between Saturn and Uranus . Starting in the late 1980s, astronomers observed patterns of brightening from the centaur, as well as activity similar to that of a streaking comet. In 2010, MIT started to chart the orbits of Chiron and nearby stars in order to pinpoint exactly when the centaur might pass across a star bright enough to detect. 'There's an aspect of serendipity to these observations,' Professor Bosh says. 'We need a certain amount of luck, waiting for Chiron to pass in front of a star that is bright enough. Chiron itself is small enough that the event is very short; if you blink, you might miss it.' In light of these new observations, the researchers say that Chiron may still possess symmetrical jets of gas and dust. But other interpretations may be equally valid, including the 'intriguing possibility,' Professor Bosh says, of a shell or ring of gas and dust. Pictured are the positions of known outer solar system objects. The centaurs are those objects (in green) that lie generally inwards of the Kuiper belt (in blue) Ruprecht, who is a researcher at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, says it is possible to imagine a scenario in which centaurs may form rings. For example, when a body breaks up, the resulting debris can be captured gravitationally around another body, such as Chiron. Rings can also be leftover material from the formation of Chiron itself. Nevertheless, Bosh says the possibility of a second ringed centaur in the solar system is an enticing one. 'Until Chariklo's rings were found, it was commonly believed that these smaller bodies don't have ring systems,' Bosh says. 'If Chiron has a ring system, it will show it's more common than previously thought.'

POINTING out that she had been summoned by a court in a bailable offence, actor Rakhi Sawant withdrew her anticipatory bail plea from the court of Additional Session Judge Monday. Now the actor is left with two options — either to appear in court or move the High Court. The trial court has fixed the next date of hearing on May 11. A local advocate had filed a complaint against Sawant for allegedly making objectional remarks against sage Valmiki. However, the actor’s lawyer said Sawant never made such remarks and that she had also tendered an unconditional apology to the Valmiki community. Following the complaint made by lawyer Narinder Aadia, Judicial Magistrate Sumit Sabharwal issued a summons to the actor and an arrest warrant was issued.

RAY KURZWEIL HAS invented a few things in his time. In his teens, he built a computer that composed classical music, which won him an audience with President Lyndon B. Johnson. In his 20s, he pioneered software that could digitize printed text, and in his 30s he cofounded a synthesizer company with Stevie Wonder. More recently, he’s known for popularizing the idea of the singularity—a moment sometime in the future when superintelligent machines transform humanity—and making optimistic predictions about immortality. For now, though, Kurzweil, 69, leads a team of about 35 people at Google whose code helps you write emails. His group powers Smart Reply, the feature on the Gmail mobile app that offers three suggested email replies for you to select with a tap. In May it rolled out to all of the service’s English-speaking users, and last week was presented to Spanish speakers too. The responses may be short—“Let’s do Monday” “Yay! Awesome!” “La semana que viene”—but they sure can be useful. (A tip: You can edit them before sending.) “It’s a good example of artificial intelligence working hand in glove with human intelligence,” Kurzweil says. And Kurzweil claims he’s just getting started. His team is experimenting with empowering Smart Reply to elaborate on its initial terse suggestions. Tapping a Continue button might cause “Sure I’d love to come to your party!” to expand to include, for example, “Can I bring something?” He likes the idea of having AI pitch in anytime you’re typing, a bit like an omnipresent, smarter version of Google’s search autocomplete. “You could have similar technology to help you compose documents or emails by giving you suggestions of how to complete your sentence,” Kurzweil says. Looking further ahead—as Kurzweil likes to do—all those ideas are eventually supposed to seem rather small. Smart Reply, he says, is just the first visible part of the group’s main project: a system for understanding the meaning of language. Codenamed Kona, the effort is aiming for nothing less than creating software as linguistically fluent as you or me. “I would not say it’s at human levels, but I think we’ll get there,” he says. Should you believe him? It depends on whether you believe Kurzweil has cracked the mystery of how human intelligence works. Like Minds? Google cofounder Larry Page oversaw some surprising initiatives during his second stint as the company’s CEO, from 2011 to 2013, including a robot acquisition spree, a new division to cure aging, and the ill-fated Google Barge. Hiring Ray Kurzweil in 2012 arguably ranks among those head-scratchers. The company already employed some of the most influential thinkers in machine learning and AI, and was rapidly expanding its roster of engineers building machine learning systems to power new products. Kurzweil was known for selling books predicting a weird future in which you’ll upload your consciousness into cyberspace, not for building AI systems for research or useful work today. The way Kurzweil tells it, it was one of those books that got him in the door of the Googleplex. Page called him in to talk about ideas in the soon-to-be-published How to Create a Mind. The 2012 book lays out Kurzweil’s theory of the workings of the neocortex, the outer part of our brain and the seat of human intelligence. “He basically recruited me to bring this thesis to Google,” Kurzweil says. “I made the case that applying this model to machine learning would make it very good at understanding language.” Kurzweil’s thesis is that the neocortex is built from many repeating units, each capable of recognizing patterns in information and stacked into a hierarchical structure. This, he says, allows many not-so-smart modules to collectively display the powers of abstraction and reasoning that distinguish human intelligence. The model has yet to win universal acceptance among people who study the human brain. When cognitive science professor Gary Marcus reviewed _How to Create a Mind, he found the theory simultaneously unoriginal and light on empirical backing. Kurzweil, who says his book distills ideas about the brain that he has been developing since the age of 14, has a different view. “There’s really been an explosion of neuroscience evidence to support my thesis,” he says. He describes his hierarchical theory of intelligence as the guiding principle behind his group’s Kona system, and says it’s at work in Smart Reply. Starting Over Although their code powers it today, Kurzweil’s group didn’t invent Smart Reply. It was first built by engineers and researchers from the Gmail product team and the Google Brain AI research lab. They showed that artificial neural networks, which had revamped Google’s image search and speech-recognition services, could also respond to emails if given enough examples to learn from. In late 2015 the system was added to Inbox, Google’s alternative mobile Gmail client. About six months later, Smart Reply was being used for 10 percent of all emails sent with the Inbox app. Via Wired

It's simpler for the user to deal with 1 password field instead of 2. So that's a preferred choice. However it is annoying to realize later if you entered the password to login and it doesn't work. In my experience, this is a smaller set of users who would face this. So I think instead of annoying everyone with 2 password fields, use only 1. And make sure that the forgot password is a simple experience. For example: User enteres username/email + password Gets an error. If the entered username is valid, then along with the error message display a link to send the reset password link. Clicking the link should just email to the user (based on username/email field)

Sentiment analysis is an essential task for social listening, especially in service and product analysis. Prior works on sentiment analysis, especially in Thai language, mostly focus on the improvement of model architecture without considering error propagation from word tokenizers or noisy text from social media. In this paper, three contributions are proposed for implementing social analysis model. First, text pre-processing is used to mitigate noise from input texts. Second, robustness towards word segmentation is enhanced by using an ensemble process with two tokenizers.

Yugoslavia organized the Yugoslav People's Army (Jugoslavenska narodna armija, or JNA) from the Partisan movement and became the fourth strongest army in Europe at the time. The State Security Administration (Uprava državne bezbednosti/sigurnosti/varnosti, UDBA) was also formed as the new secret police, along with a security agency, the Department of People's Security (Organ Zaštite Naroda (Armije), OZNA).

Washington: Former FBI Director James Comey has scorned the memo released by House Republicans after being declassified by US President Donald Trump, saying it doesn't add up to much. "That's it?" Comey wrote on Twitter on Friday. SHARE Share on Facebook SHARE Share on Twitter TWEET Link Former FBI director James Comey Photo: AP "Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee, destroyed trust with Intelligence Community, damaged relationship with FISA court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what?" Comey wrote, adding: "DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs." Separately, FBI Director Christopher Wray sent a statement to the agency’s employees on Friday saying he stands with them after a document written by congressional Republicans alleging bias against President Donald Trump at the FBI and the Justice Department in the Russia investigation was made public. Related Articles Releasing memo is Trump's most unethical act since firing Comey “I stand by our shared determination to do our work independently and by the book,” Wray said in a statement to FBI staff, excerpts of which were seen by Reuters. “Talk is cheap. The work you do is what will endure,” he added. Advertisement Comey's tweet was the latest in a series from him this week as Trump clashed with the FBI over Friday's release of the GOP-written memo. On Thursday, Comey stood up for the bureau's position against the document's disclosure and took aim at unnamed people he calls "weasels and liars." SHARE Share on Facebook SHARE Share on Twitter TWEET Link Christopher Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation . Photo: Bloomberg "All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would," Comey tweeted on Thursday night amid news that the FBI had lobbied the White House to block the release of a partisan memo on the Russia investigation. On Friday morning, the president continued his verbal attacks on Twitter against the FBI. Trump and congressional Republicans have been attacking the FBI for its investigation of potential ties between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign. Trump and Republicans on the House intelligence committee followed up on those attacks through the publication of the GOP-authored memo that they say shows improper use of surveillance by the FBI in the initial stages of the investigation. The FBI, Justice Department and Democrats furiously lobbied Trump to stop the release, saying it could harm national security and mislead the public. On Twitter, Comey urged his former colleagues to "take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up." Since his firing last May, Comey has made his personal feelings about Trump known, testifying in detail about personal interactions he says troubled him. He also authorised a close friend to share with reporters details from a memo he produced documenting one such encounter - a February conversation in the Oval Office in which he said Trump encouraged him to drop an FBI investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. That revelation prompted the Justice Department's appointment of a special counsel to run the Russia investigation. AP, Reuters
