The roller nip is critical in offset printing, both trans- porting and processing the ink and fountain solution. Offset technology is unique in that its process components – ink and water – are mixed under pressure.
The ink stripe – indicating the visual imprint when two rollers are in contact – varies according to type and amount of ink as well as in terms of viscosity, tack and yield value.
Analyzing an ink stripe is not always easy or accurate, due to its indistinct edge. Pressmen sometimes estimate from the outside of the stripe, sometimes from the inside.

I walked into the torture chamber, my stomach tight with dread. Artificial light flickered above my head. The room smelled like cleaning products. The gray carpet showed mysterious stains. To my right were three silver hooks and to my left a tiny corner seat. My face appeared pale and sickly in the mirror. The attendant bustled into the fitting room after me, handing me a pile of clothes. "Let me know if you need any help!"
I hate trying on clothes. The process sets a ticking time bomb on my self–confidence. I spin in front of the mirror. Sit. Evaluate how the fabric bulges and flows. My skin grows irritated from pulling outfits on and off. My eyes pick apart my stomach, legs, and arms. My own thoughts slash my body to shreds, until I leave the room, my self confidence left behind with cast off clothes.
Research confirms other women share my struggle with body image. USA Today reports that Americans spent over sixteen billion dollars on cosmetic plastic surgery in 2016 alone. We want to look thinner, taller, with less wrinkles and flyaway hairs. We strive for just the right breast size and calf shape. Our stomachs should be tight and our teeth straight.
Do you ever feel unhappy with your physical appearance?
As a middle schooler, I dreamed of the day when I would get married. I believed every insecurity I felt about my body would melt away once I met the perfect man. But as anyone who struggles with insecurity knows, the validation of one person won't fix an aching heart. The validation of twenty people won't fix it. Because our society will continue to hold "beauty" just out of our reach. Every time we get close, they move the boundaries further back.
Some members of the faith attempt to discredit the need for physical beauty altogether. But our God loves beauty. He creates exquisite things. Flowers display his creativity and majesty, and God did not content himself with just one type. Alan Paton of the Royal Botanic Gardens estimates that over 400,000 flowering plant species exist in the world today. Appreciating God's artistry leads us to praise and worship.
King David writes about this in Psalm 139: 13–16 (NIV):
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
King David saw his physical health and beauty as an opportunity to praise God (v.14). He doesn't demean his good looks or strong physique, but gives credit to the creator.
God worked in awesome power to bring each one of us into existence. Tall and short. Pale and caramel and sable skinned. Curly, wavy, and frizzy haired. Freckled and birthmarked. Round stomachs and flat ones. God himself carefully crafted each detail. Our creation happened in a "secret place," an intimate moment between us and God (v.15). He knew everything we would do and who we would become and he chose to bring us into existence (v.16). Instead of envying your sister's curly hair, stop and praise God for his creativity. Spend time in prayer asking to better understand your value in Christ.
Criticizing the human form is as futile and ridiculous as standing before the Grand Canyon and commenting, "I wish that rock formation looked a little less edgy. I feel those boulders protrude too far, maybe we can tighten them up a bit?"
We need to look past cultural standards and our own insecurity to see beauty gazing back in the mirror. Women of God who fight hard for love and self–acceptance provide powerful witness in a society filled with plastic surgery and eating disorders.
Lord, we thank you for your power, wisdom, and majesty. Thank you for delighting in us, body and soul. Teach us to see our own beauty. Help us silence the critic in our minds and direct our thoughts to worship you as our creator and artist. All your works are wonderful, we know that full well. Amen.

I seldom submit online reviews. In this case I'll make an exception. PetPlan met and exceeded my expectations. In December, my dog ingested a bottle of perscpition pain meds. I rushed her to the emergency center where she was placed on a respirator. The hospitalization/treated lasted 4 days and the vets saved her. I filed my claim with Pet Plan and within a few weeks Petplan sent me a check for close to $8,000. They paid the full amount I was due and did so quickly. My monthly premium of $35 was well worth.
I would also like to add that their customer service was helpful and compassionate. I spoke to a customer service rep during the crises. By chance I got the same rep a few week later which calling to ensure I had submitted the claim paper work correctly. She remembered me and the case - then went the extra mile and forwarded the claim paper work to the claims dept.
I whole heartedly recommend PetPlan - btw they did not raise my premiums after the accident

In total, 6,423 women have been invited to participate in the National Maternity Experience Survey. This includes all women who gave birth in October 2019, as well as women who gave birth during the month of November 2019, in the smaller maternity units.
As of today, 43% of women have responded to the survey. Women who were invited to participate have four weeks until the survey closes on Thursday, 30 April 2020.
If you received a survey by post, we would like to hear from you! The survey asks questions about the maternity care you received, from antenatal all the way through to the care in the community. The responses will help us to improve maternity services in Ireland.
The results of the survey will be published on www.yourexperience.ie later this year. Sign up here to be notified when the results are out.

A.I. program promises to create a 'Perfect Anime Girl' for you
During Comiket 92, web developers Yanghua Jin and Jiakai Zhang distributed a technical report. From that, they launched a new website which utilizes artificial intelligence to create the user's own ideal anime girl. This new website is called MakeGirls.moe, and it "hopes to help the artistically challenged bring their ideas to life." Here are some that I made for myself:
Here's what they had to say about their A.I. program:
We all love anime characters and are tempted to create our custom ones. However, it takes tremendous efforts to master the skill of drawing, after which we are first capable of designing our own characters. To bridge this gap, the automatic generation of anime characters offers an opportunity to bring a custom character into existence without professional skill.
They still have some room for improvement, such as adding more options. But the idea is quite nice and it gives the artistically-challenged such as myself some options on creating characters. But really, they should add more options of the hair, eye size, accessories, and many more. But all in all, I had quite some fun making my own moe girls, so try it out too if you want.

Looking for best blockchain companies to hire or to invest in? If you are a business owner or Chief Technology Officer, it could be a good strategy. Bitcoin and blockchain technology remain the red hot topic and brand new phenomena with the potential to change the financial sector for years to come.
To explain blockchain we would have to a whole separate article or two, and our purpose here is to list top blockchain developers. Though, to jam it in briefly, Blockchain is a software platform for digital financial assets, where you can store, send and receive cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin. It all started with Bitcoin.

A brief introduction to blockchain
Blockchain is the high-end technology that verifies digital transactions. In technical terms, blockchain is a series of records/data (blocks), linked in a chronological order and encrypted. This way, data inside is secure, decentralized and impossible to modify.
In other words, online security and resistance to changes are two pillars of blockchain. Every transaction has a key, thus any efforts to alter a transaction sound an alarm by default. Mining is the process of verification and adding new transactions.
A blockchain developer is typically someone who is a software programmer, first, with knowledge of data structures and architectures, plus some of the blockchain tools, like Ethereum, Hyper Ledger, etc. To help you out and save you time, we've prepared a list of best blockchain companies.
Top blockchain developers list
Itransition is one of the leading blockchain development and consulting companies, with over 2200 experts on board. The team aims to provide profitable blockchain and ICO solutions for healthcare, eCommerce, banking and finance, e-learning, and manufacturing businesses.

Blockchangers AS
100% blockchain-devoted company from Norway, helping other businesses comprehend and use the technology, with "the Nordic" approach. What does it mean? In short, while blockchain emerged out of Bitcoins in Silicon Valley with the aim of removing governmental control and regulation, Scandinavians do believe in a functioning state apparatus and, in fact, await the regulations to be put in place by governments.
The team of Blockchangers works to promote blockchain and cooperates with private and public institutions to define the future ideology of it. So, according to such strategy, they provide advisory, lectures and workshops (Oslo blockchain day), as well as development services to clients.

LAS VEGAS - More than 250 attended the 2017 Wood Industry 40 Under 40 Awards last night at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The second annual edition of the event, which honors the next generation of wood manufacturing industry leadership, brought in winners, friends and relations, and well wishers from across the spectrum of AWFS Fair registrants.
This year 27 of the winners attended in person to claim their award, a hardwood plaque engraved for the occasion by Epilog. Among very high profile winners were television personality and fine carpenter Chip Wade, and Kurt Ainsworth, co-founder of Marucci Sports, the leading supplier of baseball bats to Major League Baseball players.
See Who Won the 2017 Wood Industry 40 Under 40 Awards
Read the amazing, touching, and powerful stories of the movers and shakers of wood manufacturing's next generation of leaders.
The awards event was the centerpiece of the Leadership Reception last night, a gathering of award winners, well-wishers, plus 150 attendees at three conference events held during the day: the Closets Symposium, the Finishing Symposium, and the Woodworking Network Leadership Forum. The educational programs were staged by Woodworking Network in partnership with AWFS Fair, the first time the show has sponsored a pre-show educational program.
The Leadership Forum was developed as high-level examination of trends affecting the development implementation of technology and materials for wood manufacturing. Positioned as a TedX for the Wood Industry, the series of briefings ranged across topics Massive Wood Buildings; Virginia Tech's futuristic modular FutureHAUS development, and digital imaging of laminate panel decor papers.
Joint technology developments between suppliers and wood manufacturers were the subject of two blockbuster presentations. One was Bacci and Decore-ative Specialities' multi-year effort to design a very high-speed CNC shaper and sander for its door manufacturing. The audience listened with rapt attention as Decore-ative VP Todd Shapiro outlined the engineering and design undertaken by Bacci for the system. Decore-ative also built a full-sized mock-up of the machine to test materials flow during the development process. It has now purchased four of the systems.
The audience also seemed riveted by a presentation on digital staining by Don Kuser, general manager of North American Plywood. Kuser detailed the careful finishing and coating of Baltic plywood sheets that makes them a receptive canvas for high definition digital printing.
The printing engine developed by U.K.-based Inca Digital and Fuji Digital incorporates robots to move the sheets rapidly in and out of the printing device. NAPLY, which has branded the product DesignPly, prints high definition images of hardwood veneers, including exotic species in book matched and other patterns. Other graphics can also be printed rapidly in the Inca Onset, which uses UV flash curing of ink to image a 5x10-foot sheet in 90 seconds.
The Woodworking Network Leadership Forum will be held at other venues in coming months, with topics selected from the most trafficked subjects online at WoodworkingNetwork.com, and from other trending technology and materials reports.

The Royal British Legions, Byng House played host to a fantastic setting for the launch of Surrogate Fathers. With the VE Day celebrations taking place on the same day, the scene was set for a memorable occasion. It didn't disappoint.
At 1pm Saturday 9th May, the doors opened to the first guests who just so happened to be my close friends who I worked with in Ascension Islands so many years ago. They had made the journey from Shrewsbury to be part of the special day without my prior knowledge. A great surprise for me. It was only some minutes after that a lovely lady and her son joined us. They had driven up from Nottingham this particular morning, I felt very privileged and honoured.
Most of the guests had arrived within an hour and shortly afterwards the Royal Corps of Transport (R.C.T) arrived with the most important delivery of the day. It was the most fantastic chocolate sponge cake which looked amazing. It was decorated and hand painted as the front cover of the book. Not only did it look fantastic but according to my four year old son, Daniel, it tasted, in his words, awesome….
During the afternoon, I signed a huge number of books and met up with some old friends and new ones for that matter. The afternoon was a success although the setting didn't permit me the opportunity to grace the audience with my speech and small reading from the book. Just as well I hear you say s he rambled on during the last book launch!
My final, well nearly final message is one of thanks to not only all who attended my special day, but to the staff at Byng House who outdid themselves yet again. Without your assistance the event would not be possible. To everyone who has helped me along the way with this book. Its been an emotional trip for which would have been impossible to finish had it not been for your help throughout. Thank you all so much.
Friday 19th June is the annual 38 Seringapatam Battery Reunion. As usual the get-together but not in sunny Nottingham, but Wakefield this time. Many copies of Surrogate Fathers will be taken with me and I will be selling signed copies during the event on Saturday. Royal; British Legion poppy badges will also be on sale.
So until the next blog it only remains for me to say a big thank you to all who continue to support me by purchasing my books.

How to think for yourself – by Daniel Jean
In subjects like English, Literature and even Media, students don't see the light – their vision is blurred by curriculums, course structures, study guides and even the ideas circulated in a class by their teachers. One needs to realise that all of the content in these subjects is open to interpretation, meaning that one can form their own point of view, wherever it stems from, and write freely on the concepts that appeal to them. Every author, be it of a novel, an opinion piece, or a film, uses symbolism, motifs, tone, characterisation to form their voice and explore different themes, often relative to their own lives and experiences. Just as a musician has his sounds, his melodies, his rhythm, writers have their own instruments of communication. As readers, we interpret these to process their stories, but more deeply, as students, we connect to their pieces through our Empathy. Through this innate human quality one truly understands a work and finds a relation to it. Thus, while the ideas proposed to your class by your teachers are important, or those you find online in discussion threads, or general observations of classmates and scholars, one should only use these as a stimulant to go deeper into the text they are studying, and to bring their own awareness of the text to newer levels.
This level of Thought takes time – in the same way, you connect with your friends, your family, and even your pets – you can connect with the characters you are studying. While they remain as figures solely in your imagination, in a world created by the author, they still express emotions like you, have their own idiosyncrasies like you and face human conflicts similar to all of us. We are always fighting to understand something about ourselves, be it identity, purpose, or place. And these are like horizons in our mind, always eluding us, even when we believe we are getting closer. Hence why we constantly we read stories throughout our lifetime, why we interpret the world as we experience it, and why we have the urge to communicate to people: because we want to be understood, as if this is how we understand ourselves. This is the human condition. As a reader of a story, you are a spectator to someone else's struggle with this – you face their internal questions with them as they navigate the chaos of their own world and you are a witness to their actions and reactions.
To think freely about a story you first need to make sense of the world created by the writer and the challenges they pose to their characters. And you can do this by looking into yourself. Think about how some characters let us down, how they force us to sympathise with their situation; or how others inspire us, how they make us dream. Reflect on who you are through this character – try to understand what emotions a character makes you feel, and ask yourself: Why do I want this character to continuing fighting for his or her cause? Why does this character validate what I believe? Why I am I asking the same questions to myself? Why am I not? Why does his or her world confuse me too? Often a narrative can present solutions to our own internal problems, even when we don't realise it, as while everyone's belief system is unique to them, all humans, fictional or not, have the same inherent instincts that one can connect to and learn from.
The first time I read The Catcher In The Rye it made me want to abandon school, my job, my family – all of my responsibilities – and meander about alone, drinking coffee and reading books – basically resisting adulthood, just like Holden Caulfield. To me, he was a hero. Yet after leaving high school and experiencing the third world, my perspective changed. I went to some raw parts of South East Asia and saw people in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar fighting to fulfil very basic human needs, such as food and shelter. They weren't fighting to be someone in society, or someone resisting it – they were just trying to exist. There I realised that the mind can go down many tangents, often building up an idea of itself, like its own character within its own story. I read The Catcher In The Rye again when I returned home and saw that while Holden was an example of defiance by withstanding authority and fighting for his innocence, the only person he was truly defying was himself; and while this cause may appeal to someone young, whose internal dialogue is asking for definition – to someone more worldly, and free of teenage angst, Holden is ultimately insecure and afraid. It took a long time for me to realise this. But the beauty of the mind is that it absorbs and grows like a seed when you nourish it – hence the relevance of writers throughout history, as their works are like water and sun. All stories have periods of tension, of equilibrium, and a wider implication – and all of these moments occur organically, as in our own lives. The more time you spend with the characters, the more you will see their plight in yourself; and therefore when they're questions are answered, so are yours, for all humans are made of related thoughts and feelings, and an author is only trying to communicate theirs. It becomes a message when you, the reader, the student, become its recipient – when you think and feel like the characters do, and find meaning in their lives through a connection to your own.

Explosions, gunfire hit Kabul, unknown number of casualties feared
Kabul: At least two explosions followed by gunfire took place near the Iraqi Embassy in the Afghan capital on Monday, leaving an unknown number of casualties, officials said. The Islamic State militant group claimed the attack.
Two back to back blasts occurred in Shaw-e Naw neighbourhood at around noon and were followed by gunfire, agencies reported.
According to BBC, a suicide bomber targeted the area housing a police headquarters and the Iraqi Embassy. A gun battle erupted even as civilians were evacuated from the area.
The Islamic State said it carried out the attack.
One witness told Pajhwok Afghan News that the first explosion took place at around 11.30 am, followed by gunfire. The second blast occurred in the Kulula Poshta area at noon.
Members of Afghan Special Force, known as Crisis Response Unit, had cordoned off the area. The blasts caused a plume of grey smoke to rise above the scene.

The fastest tree in the west
Virtual Tree is a combined Tree/ListView .NET control written in C# to use the power of the .NET framework. You can use Virtual Tree as a simple tree, a standard list view, or you can combine the best features of both and provide your users with a dynamic interface that allows them to explore a hierarchical view of their data while displaying and editing all the relevant information in columns.
Virtual Tree's unique support for context sensitive columns allows you to display only those columns relevant to the currently selected item (see example screenshot). This makes it possible for the first time to meaningfully display heterogeneous data in a combined Tree/ListView control.
Version 4 of Virtual Tree is compatible with Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012 and includes sample projects for each of these development environments.
Unlike most other tree controls, Virtual Tree is designed from the ground up to be data driven. Most other tree controls have a basic "unbound" mode in which the tree representation is built manually. If they support data binding, it is typically built on top of this "unbound" mode and simply generates the in-memory representation (consisting of tree nodes) when the Data Source is set. For large Data Sources this approach can be both extremely slow and resource hungry.
The Virtual Tree approach is radically different. It does not have a separate "unbound" mode at all. This allows the design to leverage the power of data binding to extract only the information from the Data Source required to display the current state of the tree representation. This means that, regardless of the size of the Data Source, Virtual Tree only initially needs to build a display of the first 30 or so items (ie the typical number of rows displayed on a screen). As the user browses the tree, Virtual Tree extracts the information required on-demand from the Data Source. This approach greatly improves initial load times and reduces the memory footprint.
Most other data binding solutions provide only limited ability to customize the appearance or behaviour of the control. If you want to do anything more advanced you have to revert to the "unbound" mode. Because Virtual Tree is designed from the ground up to be data driven it does not suffer from this problem. You can customize just about every aspect of it's appearance and behaviour without having to sacrifice the ability to use data binding. Virtual Tree can do anything possible with a traditional "unbound" tree control plus a whole lot more.
Our data binding model allows you to bind to real data sources - not just artificially constructed samples. But don't just take our word for it - try it out. Our sample projects include binding to very large data sources and the standard MS Northwind sample database.
This library of useful controls is included with your purchase of Virtual Tree. The library contains a range of useful controls including:
Infralution's Virtual Tree clearly defeated all competitors in the categories of functionality, quality, support, object model, data binding and price. Performance is outstanding due to its virtual functionalityGiuseppe Falce - 1eEurope
Virtual Tree is versatile, easy to work with and, very important, consistent with .NET practices. These guys know not only what end-users want, but also what programmers need!Kees Pieters - Eco Chemie
Even though it is small and fast, it provides functionality that rivals most if not all other commercial and open source competitors out there. I would know because I have tried many if not all of them. Their technical support is both skilled and timely.Jarrad Waterloo

CLARKSVILLE, IN – The Clarksville Police Department is using money from drug busts to pay for a system that does background checks at local schools.
"Security is just a big concern in all public schools today," said Kimberly Knott, Superintendent of Clarksville Community Schools.
Knott is responsible for the safety of hundreds of students.
"I can't tell you how many family members or individuals will want to go on a field trip at the last minute," she said.
At least two Clarksville schools are able to grant last minute access by using the Raptor System. It is technology that provides instant background checks on all visitors.
"Instead of having to deny that opportunity because of timing, we can come in, we can run background checks. and if they're clear, they can go right away," Knott said.
The Raptor Systems are $1,600 each.
"This will be our third raptor system," said Chief Mark Palmer with Clarksville Police.
On Thursday morning, Clarksville Police presented a check for another system to Clarksville Middle School.
"This is one of the perks of the job," he said.
Chief Palmer also said the money comes from drug busts and the hard work of dedicated narcotics detectives. The same money has also been used to paint the department's Hummer. On the back of the truck it says, "Paid for by your local drug dealer."
"They've been able to bring that money back, confiscated it from these individuals that are out here buying drugs or selling drugs and get it released from the court based upon their good case work, and we're able to come back and use it for the community," Chief Palmer said.
So, have the system's produced any red flags?
"We have, and we dealt with those," Knott said.
And that's why she is usually stress-free when it comes to safety.
"Our parents don't have to worry, the grandparents don't have to worry, community members don't have to worry," she said. "That gives me, as a superintendent, great peace of mind so that I can sleep at night."
Clarksville police are working on putting raptor systems in more schools in the near future.

Why should you care about header dependencies in C++? One reason is header dependencies can have an impact on building, refactoring, testing and on the structure of your software.
And reducing header dependencies in C++ also reduces compile time dependencies – the dependencies between files and libraries at compile time.
One way to reduce header dependencies in C++ is to avoid including headers inside other header files.
In C++ Builder, Project Options | Project Properties, select Show Header dependencies in project manager and also select Index files for "Definitions and References' :
Then in the C++ Code Editor, | right-click an identifier | Find > Header Dependency
Note: This command is available only for 64-bit Windows, iOS, and Android target platforms.
This command searches the entire active project for the header dependencies. It opens the Header Dependency pane, which contains the following information:
Using the C++ Builder Header Dependency, for the above Averages.h header file we get this:
The Header Dependency info is embedded in the object file (WIN32), or is an external .d file for other target platforms. (See here).
The IDE views on these links header dependencies view and Header Dependency Results read the information from the object file, or the .d file directly. The information from the object can be dumped using tdump. The .d is a plain text file with a standard format.
Does this mean that forward declaration isn't possible with std::list ?
One workaround is if we define our own non-templated list class and uses that instead, we wouldn't have these issues with predeclaration. But implementing our own list class isn't easy, and we don't get all the benefits of std::list's implementation. But we can use something like this, in CustomList.h:
And then we can create a NewAverages.h, like this:
Now we have the situation where clients of the Averagers class who use the std::list function must include the "CustomList.h"header, and have the dependencies and compile time of #include <list>.

What Do You Mean Web Applications?
As you read this article right now more than likely you are using what we like to call a desktop application or possibly a mobile application. These forms of applications are based on code that is installed on a device like your laptop or smart phone. Now these applications are wonderful treasures and can do many, but they usually have one major downfall: they take forever to develop. Desktop applications can require rigorous development and physical resources in personnel that making a website might not. Key word here is website. Web development has traditionally been known to be easier to develop because of the simplicity that we associate with them. Now, I can tell you quite honestly that I've seen websites so advanced they would trump and desktop application, but we're not here to debate such matters. A website itself can be seen as an application. It does perform an action, it may not be much but it does. The most simple websites display information and more advanced examples will pay your bills, order pizza, or perform ridiculous calculations. I would define the term web application as any website built specifically to perform a certain action.
Windows? Isn't That A Desktop OS?
Yes, Windows is very much a desktop operating system and no we're not building a desktop application, but we're going to make this work. As we mentioned previously desktop applications can be troublesome and websites can be easy. So how do we put a website on a desktop? The answer is called in the Microsoft world as an HTML Application or by it's file extension HTA. Before you get worrier that you'll have to learn a new language or buy some expensive piece of software I assure you it is not that case. These HTAs have actually been around since 1999 but since we were too busy figuring out Y2k we got stuck in the developers dark age and we lost sight of things for about 5 years. HTAs are actually HTML files with a different extension and one extra HTML node in the head section of the file. Easy right? For easy static sites like an intranet in an office or for kiosks that display information this solution is ideal. With more dynamic sites it can get trickier but we'll save that for another day.
So Show Me!
Now remember there is no special language you need to learn or software to do this just simply place the following code inside the head tag of your website and changed the file extension to .hta.
Each of the parameters are fairly self explanatory, but if you need further reference please read the MSDN article to learn more. Now what exactly does this get you? In reality, all you have is a modified web page, but in fact it is more useful than just a web page. By creating a HTA one can access local files without having annoying prompts about security warnings. This means you can use jQuery and ActiveX to pull local data, directories and make use of them in your application. And, as I mentioned before some times all you need is a simple website rather than a full desktop application. By creating an HTA you can do this without much of a headache.

Myrsk was a male Nikto Sergeant who worked for the Espos at Mondder Spaceport on Etti IV. He was a veteran of the Clone Wars where he served on the Confederacy of Independent Systems side. He fled to the Corporate Sector at the end of the conflict to escape the Galactic Empire's xenophobia and possible retaliation for his service.[1]
In 3 BBY, he and his officers broke up a brawl that Jahan Cross, Han Solo and Chewbacca were fighting with a group of disgrunted cantina patrons. When he attempted to arrest Cross, he claimed diplomatic immunity. When Myrsk attempted to arrest Solo and Chewbacca, Cross claimed they were in his employ and therefore also under diplomatic immunity. Myrsk then sarcastically asked if he could arrest the group of brawlers from the cantina. Once assured they were indeed criminals, he stalked away, muttering under his breath about how Imperials annoyed him.[2]
Myrsk was present at the Stark Compound when Jahan Cross was arrested for the murder of Dah'lis Stark. He informed Cross that his diplomatic immunity was revoked by Emesh Nar. After Cross overpowered a pair of Espos and escaped, he attempted to shoot him down, but was stopped by Elli Stark.[1]
He investigated the crash of Cross's speeder after the agent escaped from the Stark Compound. He didn't believe that Cross died in the crash and decided to interrogate Solo to see if he knew of the whereabouts of Cross. He and Dimity interrogated Solo and Chewbacca onboard the Millennium Falcon and when Solo sarcastically responded to his questions, he punched the smuggler. Chewbacca reacted violently and had to be restrained by Solo. Solo suggested that it would be wise for Myrsk to apologize, which the Espo did. He and Dimity departed from the freighter and Myrsk asked Dimity why he didn't back him up. Dimity responded that "it was above his pay grade." Myrsk staked out the landing bay where the Falcon was, confident that Cross would eventually show up. During this time, he was informed by comlink that Emesh Nar had been killed and the ambassador's private shuttle had been stolen from the embassy. Myrsk ordered all units to intercept the stolen shuttle and prevent it from reaching orbit. When Cross, who was piloting the shuttle, attempted to bluff his way past the two interceptors sent after him by stating that the ambassador was on-board, the sergeant interrupted and commanded the pilots to bring the shuttle to ground. As the pursuit returned to the surface of Etti IV, Myrsk followed in a repulsorlift vehicle. He ordered ground units to be at all intersections along the pursuit route and authorized them to shoot to kill if necessary. After ran his ship into a mag-lev train causing a huge accident, Myrsk arrived to survey the damage. Despite his partner's belief that Cross was immolated in the crash, Myrsk was confident he was still alive.[3]
