Want to start a new thread about QQ for the benefit of all. The 20plus page thread on QQ has lots of OT and other comments. This thread is only for MCFers who have personally test-drove the QQ before and bother to give a detailed review. Pls keep it clean... For a start, I will extract posts from the 20plus page QQ thread over.
http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/...413-339606.html I personally do not use POSB, I find that it not only inconvenience low-income earners but also to everyone else especially when you need to buy something small. When a lot of ppl wanna pay for a bowl of $3 noodles with a $50 note how is the hawker gonna come up with so much change? UOB ATMs at least has an option of minimum $80 withdrawal which has a mix of 3 x $10 and 1 x $50. The next option is $200 btw. MAS is printing more $50 dan $10? So difficult to squeeze $10 notes into the ATMs as it takes up more space and hold lesser value dan $50 notes? The cash escorts make less trips if the ATMs are stuffed with $50 notes? Diesel expensive or the COE for the trucks transporting the cash too expensive? OMG, gahment's fault again . Knn, how not to drift the topic to gahment...again? I hope the ppl working at the banks can be smarter dan studying the "cash withdraw pattern" from a machine and give ppl more options coz there's not much to begin with.

But it's only a knuckle cut, though. Not the prized prime-rib or tenderloin. But given that those 2 are ~$130 per kg, I think the knuckle is fine enough. Going to cook it later tonight..... Found it at NTUC Finest in Clementi. Saw that the guy selling it has 'Culina' on his apron. Culina should be the one selling all the gourmet food stuff in dempsey ba? Maybe I'll check again.... Bought nearly half a KG. Going to cook it...BLUE! WOOOooooo
Question on motor insurance policy. If your own insurance allows you to go to approved workshops only (does not include AD workshop), does it mean: In the case where you are claiming 100% against another car, you can still go to any workshop (including AD workshop), since ur using another car's insurance? I am deciding between 2 insurance policies. And the difference is that one allows all workshops and the other doesn't. And the former is more expensive. Thanks.
what now?

http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Si...328-336355.html SINGAPORE - A 23-year-old woman who drove without a licence was sentenced to four months' jail for causing the death of an elderly pedestrian. Candy Siow Pei Shan, a waitress, was also banned from driving for 10 years, The Straits Times (ST) reported. Siow, who was driving her boyfriend's car on Feb 12, 2011, lost control of the vehicle at the junction of Bukit Batok East Avenue 3 and Avenue 4, the court heard today. She was driving along Avenue 3 and attempted to make a right turn without stopping at the intersection. She panicked when she saw an oncoming vehicle and her car veered to the left, mounted the kerb and hit 70-year-old Tan Son Seng, who was on the pedestrian walkway, ST reported. Mr Tan was crushed between the car and a traffic light pole, and pronounced dead on the scene. Before the accident which took place in the morning, Siow had also drunk a substantial amount of alcohol between 12am and 5am. She had consumed brandy with her boyfriend at Club Axchange in Tanjong Pagar, and later brandy and beer at a club in the Esplanade. According to ST, Assistant Public Prosecutor Raja Mohan said as Siow had failed her driving test 13 times, she would have known that she was not competent to drive, yet she still chose to do so. Siow, who started sobbing when she was sentenced to jail, was also driving without insurance coverage at that time. WTF 4 months only????? WHAT A JOKE!
This one very obvious........... 150Rm ok? No lar....Ok, 50RM I help you. This driver forgot to bring his driving license along with him and was told he had over the speed limit!!!
Looks like MOM like to talk co.ck only. Discrimination against Singaporeans still going strong. Just a simple search on job ads reveal many foreigner only positions: So what exactly is MOM doing to stem the flow of discrimination? Or just print motherhood statements in the MSM, and continue shaking legs?
Hi all My front left tyre getting bald soon....but my front right tyre still has plenty of thread, not sure why the in-balance wear for both tyres even thou both were changed at the same time in Jan 2011. Even my rear 2 tyres (used almost 3 years liao) still has plenty of thread. Question is: can I just buy 1 new tyre to replace the front left? Is this advisable in terms of safety considerations and will that cause any drive-shaft damage to my car? Thanks.
A Briton, who got into a fight at a Halloween party, was jailed for 11/2 years on Thursday. James Daniel Rhodes, 36, was convicted of causing grievous hurt to Mr Ronald Tan, an Australian. Mr Tan, 34, fractured his skull during the fight and died 14 months later. Rhodes was also ordered to pay $32,000 in compensation to Mr Tan's mother. This is for medical expenses, loss of her son's income and transport expenses. Rhodes, a former bank officer, was also found guilty of punching Mr Kevin Michael Hubbard, 31, an interior designer, at the same party. He is appealing against the conviction and sentence and is out on bail of $25,000. During the trial, Deputy Public Prosecutor Sanjiv Vaswani told the court that Rhodes had been invited by a friend to the party on Oct 23, 2010 at The Spinnaker condominium near Newton. There, Rhodes got into an argument with Mr Tan. The Briton was told to leave but traded blows with one of the hosts in the lift. He was brought back to the apartment to change his bloodied shirt for a fresh one but while being ushered out again, he assaulted Mr Hubbard before punching Mr Tan in the face.

The Singapore Vehicle Traders Association (SVTA) clarified today (Oct 21) that of the 2,438 motor vehicle complaints reported by the Straits Times on Saturday, only 1,084 were related to defective goods. The article — "Grouses about car dealers speeding up" — stated that the 2,438 complaints the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) received from January to September this year has exceeded the 2,255 made in the whole of last year. SVTA President Neo Tian Ting explained that the figure of 2,438 also includes enquiries and feedback, which do not require CASE to take action. Mr Neo also said that the spike in complaints this year can be attributed to the lemon law, which came into effect last September. Consumers, he said, could be contacting CASE more often as there is a misunderstanding of the lemon law. In fact, only 156 were filed and assisted cases pursued against SVTA members in relation to the lemon law and other complaints such as delays in delivery and misrepresentation — meaning CASE handled claims on the consumers' behalf or assisted the consumers in drafting letters to approach the vendors themselves. Singapore has about 800 to 900 car dealers. About 410 of them are SVTA members. Source: http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/only-1-2-complaints-against-car-traders-were-about-lemons-svta

Read todays Straits Times and felt extremely angry. The article talk about how great that the airport & NTUC managed to 'double' their staff salaries. But i was so angry reading the article. How can a government entity condone paying staff $500 a month? unless they are working 10 days a month, if they are actually being paid that amount for 1 month, that is abusing low wage workers even now with the pay increase, that is shitty pay. They will probably blame the appointed contractor, but if they know these guys were paid unfairly, why NTUC and Changi Airport only act now? ---------------------------------- see article extract here: Straits Times, 14 Aug 2013 Airport trolley handlers had their salaries nearly doubled from last month, as part of the labour movement's efforts to lift the pay of outsourced contract workers. The 240 airport trolley handlers are now earning up to $1,000, up from their monthly pay of $550 to as much as $1,000. Their increase in pay depends on their work attendance and performance. Besides earning more, these handlers will also get more training to pick up new skills to become more employable. The recent moves are part of the NTUC's progressive wage model, which sets out a career ladder with pay standards for low-wage workers in various sectors. NTUC assistant secretary-General Cham Hui Fong said on Tuesday that the labour movement will work with other employers to improve the salaries and job opportunities of other airport outsourced contract workers. These include baggage handlers and aircraft interior cleaners. Straits Times

How To Protect Yourself From Signing A Bad Mortgage Contract
There are quite a few details involved with getting a home loan, and it can feel intimidating. To be sure you secure your mortgage financing, you have to have some information. The information in this article will help get you started.
If you are upside down on your mortgage, you may be able to apply to get a different mortgage thanks to new rules in place. Prior to the new program rules, homeowners would apply and get denied for a new mortgage. If you qualify to refinance your current mortgage, you may improve your credit score and get a lower interest rate.
Avoid spending any excess money after you apply for a loan. Lenders recheck your credit in the days prior to finalizing your mortgage, and could change their mind if too much activity is noticed. Wait until after you loan closes for major purchases.
A good rule of thumb is to allow up to 30% of your earnings to be spent on your monthly mortgage payment. If it is, then you may find it difficult to pay your mortgage over time. When you keep payments manageable, you are able to keep your budgets in order
If you are a first time homebuyer, look into government programs for people like you. There are often government programs that can reduce your closing costs, help you find a lower-interest mortgage, or even find a lender willing to work with you even if you have a less-than-stellar credit score and credit history.
Before you meet with any lenders, make sure you have all the financial document you need. You will need to show proof of income, bank statements and all other relevant financial information. Having these things on hand and organized before you go to get a loan will make everything go a little faster as your loan is processed.
Think about hiring a consultant who can help you through the process. A home loan consultant can help make sure you get a good deal. You'll also be sure that the all is on the up and up when you've got the knowledge of a consultant at your fingertips.
Search for the most advantageous interest terms possible. The bank's goal is locking you into a high rate. Don't be a victim of this. Compare rates from different institutions so you can choose the best one.
You should learn as much as you can about the type of mortgage you will need. There are several different types. Knowing the differences between loans will help you pick the right one. Do your research and then ask your broker for advice.
It is a smart idea to reduce your total debt prior to purchasing a home. Your home mortgage can easily be your biggest single expense in life, so make certain that you're able to consistently make the monthly payments, regardless of your luck. Having fewer debts will make it easier to get a home mortgage loan.
ARM, or adjustable rate mortgages, don't expire near the term's end. However, the rate does get adjusted to the current rate at that time. This creates the risk of an unreasonably high interest rate.
Banks are not the only place to go to in order to get a home loan. For instance, your family might help you out, even if it's just with a down payment. Also investigate credit unions for their rates. Know all your choices ahead of time before seeking out a mortgage.
Check out mortgage financing online. You don't have to get a mortgage from a physical institution anymore. There are lots of good mortgage lenders to be found online, only. These lenders are not centralized and can process loans in a fast and efficient manner.
A good credit score is essential to a good home loan. Know your credit score. Fix an mistakes on your report, and do your best to improve your score. If you have smaller debts, combine them into one account, with low interest, so you can pay it off quickly.
Getting a loan pre-approval letter can impress a seller while showing them you are prepared to buy. It shows them that you are financially stable. But, be sure that your approval letter shows the exact funds to match your offer. If it's for a higher amount, the seller will know you can afford to pay more.
Look for alternate sources to get mortgage financing if your credit is poor or unused. Keep your payment records for several years. It is important that you can prove you pay your bills regularly.
Always be truthful. With mortgages, you should always be truthful. Report all assets and income exactly; never more or less. This can hurt you financially. It might seem like a good idea in the beginning, but it will come back and bite you in the future.
Try saving as much money as possible prior to applying for the mortgage. The necessary down payment varies by loan type and lender, but you will likely need at least 3.5% down. However, many lenders do require much more than that. If you put down less than 20%, you'll have to get private mortgage insurance.
If you feel you should change lenders, do so with care. A lot of lenders will give better terms and rates to their loyal customers than to new ones. You may be able to secure favorable terms such as the waiving of interest penalties, a much better interest rate, and even some costs paid for you.
Keep in mind that brokers make more money off of fixed rate products than they do if you select a variable rate. For this reason, many lenders will try to get you to lock in your rate. Avoid this fear by understanding the true terms and taking your mortgage out based on the facts.
These tips should help guide you toward making sound financial decisions. Although it may seem like a daunting task, you will find that it is not so hard once you have the right information. Use what you just learned to supplement what you already know, and you're going to find this process an easy one.

Krystal Lee promotes faith and fashion with her Girl + God T-shirt brand
Name: Krystal Lee
City: Atlanta
Profession: Media personality and entrepreneur
Favorite quote: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
As a radio host, entrepreneur and fashion enthusiast, describe who Krystal Lee is in five words.
Passionate, motivating, creative, resilient and determined.
As the co-host of Praise 102.5's "The Willie Moore Jr. Show," what is it like going on air every week with your "Top 3" radio segment?
I've been doing radio for almost 12 years, and it's still a dream come true. "The Willie Moore Jr. Show" is my favorite opportunity. I did hip-hop radio until the year 2015. That year is when I became a part of this show. We have so much fun talking about God and encouraging people every single day. The show is lit.
Briefly tell us what was your journey to get to where you are now?
I moved to Atlanta at the age of 17 to attend Clark Atlanta University. I started out in the music business at record labels and was offered the opportunity to intern on the "Ryan Cameron Show," which sparked my love for radio. From there, I had amazing opportunities with TMZ, Cartoon Network, TheYBF.com and more. Eventually, I was hired to be a personality on Hot 107.9, and in June of 2015, I was on the Birthday Bash stage in front of 20,000 people. Later that year, I was on stage in front of 20,000 people at Praise in the Park. Crazy. God wanted me to be on the gospel station to reach a generation of women who needed to know you can love God and still be yourself.
Is there ever a struggle with balancing your personal brand, being a radio host, having a personal life and staying true to you? If so, how do you manage?
Balance is always a struggle, but boundaries are necessary. I make sure that I prioritize, and now I'm learning how to let people help me which is not easy. No matter what, I always stay true to my vision with all my brands because I represent God no matter what I'm doing.
We absolutely love your brand, Girl + God. You are an entrepreneur's inspiration. Tell us where Girl + God came from. Is there a message behind it?
Girl + God is a community for women who love God. We started as a T-shirt brand, and now we have grown to over 50,000 supporters. Girl + God represents women who are passionate about their relationship with God, no matter where you are in that relationship.
Any advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurship is not easy, and it's not for everybody. Don't wait around for all the resources to get started. Do something every single day to get you closer to your goal.
What is next for Krystal Lee?
Making Girl + God a household name along with growing my other businesses. More media opportunities, a husband and kids. Amen.

Anyone interested in this? I'd honestly be down for it.
Just use IRC like normal people.
IRC is still a thing?
If only we had some way to talk to each other...
Not that I'm a fan of Discord, but it does make it much easier to share images that don't necessarily need to remain online forever. Very convenient for showing in-progress shots of projects. IRC is superior, yes, and has more lightweight hardware requirements. I'd be down for either, provided the usual community landmines are avoided.
- Where it's always 1995 (or so).
Youtube- Terminated
BitChute - Fragmented, but functional
While Discord is neat and all I feel I would be against this. It's really sad to see forums like this one getting replaced by super ephemeral things like Discord and Reddit (what you can't even add posts to after a while).
Those sites will get bought up/ go under eventually or have other ways of losing what the community shares, because it's not run by the community. It's happened before.
Sites like this one, GamesSX, Assembler, SMSPower, etc. are run by and for gamers and have kept valuable history and postings for many years, including super valuable technical information.
I feel like the more we support and migrate towards other options, the more of that information is ultimately going to be lost and not in the control of the gamers themselves.

@segasonicfan: Discord is more akin to IRC - just a quick way to chat casually. I don't see it replacing forums at all. Different function. I don't want forums to go either, but sadly they are on the decline. Also fuck Reddit, that site is just one huge circlejerk.

Is Luka Doncic Having a Better Rookie Season Than LeBron James Did?January 16, 2019
Luka Doncic's arrival as a rookie phenomenon is now complete. Not because of his monstrous play in the clutch, those groin-stretching step-backs or the generally indomitable confidence that defines the Dallas Mavericks' 19-year-old star.
No, Doncic has arrived because he's played well enough through half of his first NBA season to invite a special comparison. If there are levels to talent verification, being likened to LeBron James has to be one of the last thresholds to clear. So before we get to answering the question posed up there in the headline, just appreciate the fact that we can ask it with a straight face.
Of course, you probably also want that answer too.
If you start simply with traditional counting stats, you get a quick and easy validation that Doncic stacks up against James:
Basketball Reference @bball_ref
Luka Doncic scored his 500th point last night. He now has 514 for his career, as well as 188 rebounds and 134 assists He's the second player since 1983 to reach 500/150/100 by the 28th game of his NBA career The first was LeBron https://t.co/DPRDJRS0wS https://t.co/2954AVscbW
We're trafficking in arbitrary cutoffs and tiny samples here, so maybe it'll help to broaden the scope of our investigation. If Doncic's averages of 20.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists hold, he'll do something Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson did...but not James. Those numbers are still a bit cherry-picked, though. James' rookie averages of 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists put him in a group with Jordan and Robertson that excludes Doncic.
James and Doncic are both in the 20-5-5 rookie club with Jordan, Robertson and...Tyreke Evans. If for some reason this serves as a tiebreaker, James is the youngest player to score at least 40 points in a game, which he did at 19 years and 88 days. Based on these numbers, the best we can say is that James and Doncic performed very similarly as 19-year-old rookies.
That points, rebounds and assists don't clarify this comparison is no surprise. We've reached (or at least should have reached) a point where we know those counting numbers don't paint a finished picture. We need to know about scoring efficiency, global impact and even some intangibles to sort this out.
Doncic tops James when we consider those elements, starting with scoring efficiency.
|Doncic and James Shooting Splits
|Basketball Reference
Sure, Doncic arrived in an NBA vastly changed from the one James joined in 2003-04. Math is king now, and it's impossible to acknowledge Doncic's superior shooting numbers without noting that the league as a whole is scoring more efficiently. In James' rookie year, the leaguewide three-point attempt rate was 18.7 percent, and the average effective field-goal percentage was 47.1 percent. Now, those figures are 35.2 percent and 52.2 percent.
If James had attempted as many threes as Doncic this year (6.6 per game), he would have ranked fifth in the league. But if James had matched Doncic's difficult shot mix—step-backs, contested looks, particularly deep heaves— it seems like he would have converted at an even lower rate than the 29.0 percent he managed from distance.
It's not just different eras. It's not as simple as saying "if James had been a rookie in 2018-19, he would have matched Doncic's efficiency." James was significantly below the league average in that regard as a rookie. Doncic, despite a diet of extremely tough looks, is much closer to the median in that statistic. He's simply a more skilled shot-maker than James was.
|James and Doncic vs. League Averages
|Basketball Reference
Another stat combo that sets Doncic apart: He's in line to finish as the third rookie to ever post a usage rate of 28.1 percent and a true shooting percentage (which is different from effective field-goal percentage because it includes free throws) of 56.4 percent.
James isn't in that club. And yes, six-time All-Star Walter Davis was very good in the late '70s and early '80s. We're getting distracted, though.
LeBron's absence from some of these all-time rookie leaderboards brings us to another consideration: James, though an undeniable megastar now, wasn't overwhelmingly great as a rookie. In his own class, Carmelo Anthony edged out James' 20.9 scoring average with his own 21.0 figure, and he did it with a slightly higher usage rate and true shooting percentage. Dwyane Wade was also a more efficient scorer than James. So were David West and Chris Bosh.
James led his rookie class in box plus-minus, but he only ranks seventh among rookies in that stat since 2003-04 (among first-year players who got 25 minutes per game and had a usage rate over 20 percent). Doncic is third in that group, behind Chris Paul in 2005-06 and Ben Simmons last year.
Paul, for what it's worth, dominates in rookie box-plus minus at plus-6.1. Simmons only reached plus-4.6, and Doncic is at plus-3.2 so far. James only managed a plus-1.9.
Let's also remember Blake Griffin, who posted a plus-3.2 BPM in 2010-11 that matches Doncic's figure this season. Griffin averaged 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists as a rookie while taking the league by storm with his 214 dunks. If we're going to use less quantifiable factors to split hairs, Griffin single-handedly making the laughingstock Clippers interesting and unmissable has to be worth something. Note, too, that Griffin—not James, not Anthony, not anybody since Yao leveraged votes from China in 2003—made the All-Star team as a rookie.
Lest we forget:
Doncic might very well join Griffin in that All-Star honor this February, and the way he's captivated the league with highlight plays and a self-assured air that often wades into flat-out cockiness feels a lot like what Griffin did almost a decade ago.
In terms of overall production, CP3 and Simmons have stronger rookie resumes than Doncic and James. But if we consider the narratives and hype attached to those two, there's a fascinating contrast to explore.
James' high school games were nationally televised. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated before he ever played an NBA game. He was the Chosen 1 before the Cavs chose him first overall. Doncic arrived this year with little more than a whisper campaign to his name. He was like a secret only a few informed observers knew about, a grainy video clip from halfway across the world.
He was a teenager destroying professional adults, winning MVPs and championships in a league better than the NCAA James bypassed. It's bizarre to frame it this way, with James anointed for dominating acne-ridden, curfew-having teenagers while Doncic slipped to third in the draft after crushing a league of grown men paid to play basketball.
James' hype preceded his NBA debut. Doncic created his after the fact.
I'm not sure how much that matters, because we've got to credit James for performing under such crushing pressure. At the same time, there's something to be said for Doncic forcing doubters to convert.
Statistically, Doncic has been better as a rookie than James was, and their origin stories, so to speak, are as fascinating as they are distinct. But if there's a claim to the title of "Best Rookie Since LeBron," it probably belongs to Paul or Simmons. Or even Griffin. Doncic could do enough in the second half to surpass those guys. He's that good.

William Hoggatt
Epithet: An 'almost Manx' artist (1879-1961)
Record type: Biographies
Biography: William Hoggatt was the son of James Hoggatt, a joiner/carpenter. Hoggatt's artistic talents were recognised whilst he was still at school when he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art. Rather than study in London Hoggatt chose to be apprenticed to a local firm of stained glass manufacturers and continued his studies at the Storey Institute in Lancaster. He was later sponsored by H. L. Storey to study at the Academie Julian, one of the leading private international art schools in Paris.
Hoggatt eloped to the Isle of Man in 1907 with Dazine, a friend's sister he had met whilst working at the Tate Gallery in London. They were married for 54 years.
Hoggatt's work was reproduced in journals such as The Connoisseur and The Studio. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy in London from the early 1900s until his death. In 1925 he was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours. He was also a member of the Liverpool and Manchester Academies.
Hoggatt and his wife used their home to provide a regular meeting place for members of the Island's artistic community, he was also unstinting in his encouragement of local artists, giving demonstration lectures at the Manx Museum and acting as President of the Manx Artists Group.
Once Hoggatt moved to the Isle of Man he restricted his painting entirely to Manx subjects. Many of his finest watercolours, pastels and oil paintings were drawn from scenes within walking distance of his Port Erin home. These local scenes won him an international reputation.
…in each, one caught a glimpse of typical Manx landscape...Here a view across the Curragh, there a wide sweep of land and sea from Port St. Mary to Langness, … here a restful evening on Laxey beach, there Ravensdale Glen. Or, if you prefer it, there is Spanish Head ("the sea-gulls paradise"), or Kirk Michael aglow in the freshness of the morning, or Castle Rushen nestling snugly, in the haze of a quie evening. Elsewhere perhaps it is only a busy farmyard scene, or a windswept stretch of heath glinting under an eloquent sky and bathed in a brilliant, almost intoxicating, atmosphere. But always, always, it is the Island.

So no, it's still messed up and I've got to get it right. That's not to say that I wouldn't get it if they asked for one, but I didn't offer a banana every time and it looks I'd offend somebody if I didn't offer to get a banana for them every time I got a banana. They made it seem like I was trying to hog the bananas and therefore I should ask and make the bananas available to everybody every time I got one. JC: I expected them to do what was best for the team. I kinda figured they were leaning toward getting rid of me, because they looked at me and were like, "Um, you work for a living. They could tell that something was going on and it wasn't a good thing, which held true. She's like the only person I've ever gone to war with. I really don't know how I would react without her there. The second time, they were shot back-to-back and I couldn't have made it without her. It's the brother-sister relationship which I've never had before and it's good. For me to say that I was relaxed or at ease because I saw familiar faces, every familiar face I saw out there had gotten rid of me at one point in time, you know? If I had been there with Ozzy, I would have had a better chance.

*** more information below on Stranger Things slime if you so desire***
{ So this one time I was at my college graduation party. Many people were there that I really loved, family, friends from childhood, people from out of town… it was a beautiful night. My mom did an incredible job with the everything including the best part, the FOOD. I mean come on, a TACO TRUCK??
I knew I had every damn reason to be happy. To be extremely grateful. To be so appreciative of everyone there and everything my family did to get me there. But looming over my head the entire time was this sadness that there was so much potential to feel love at that party, yet I felt very anxious. I felt like here was this beautiful opportunity for happiness and my anxiety was just emptying its horrid alien slime all over my fruitful crops.
I asked myself over and over again how I was supposed to be happy with that feeling over my head. I wish I could tell you how I got out of feeling like that that night, but I didn't. The only moment I felt truly "alive" was while singing Mamma Mia's Dancing Queen on karaoke with my mom. That was too powerful to be ruined by some bullshit. }

If someone new in your life were to offer you a free book or a free home-cooked meal, you might think something's up. Or, you might graciously accept their offer and think they're really nice.
According to Wendy Patrick, the author of Red Flags: How to Spot Frenemies, Underminers, and Toxic People in Your Life, we must be mindful of deceptive people who try to ingratiate themselves. As a deputy district attorney and team leader of a sex-crimes-and-stalking division in San Diego, Patrick has dealt with sexual predators, white-collar criminals, and sociopathic criminals who have a history of social prowess and financial power. But while some might consider Patrick's background essential to the topic of underminers and deceptive people, as a therapist I found her book to have many holes and questionable theories.
Patrick writes that her background in law as well as her schooling in psychology have shaped her views on human nature and personality over time. And so, using a simple acronym, she describes four things we should be mindful of when examining the authenticity of people we communicate with in our daily lives. We must, she writes, notice what captures a person's attention and determine if their attention is focused on themselves or on others. We should also consider how the person spends their time and determine what their hobbies and interests are. We should look at what company the person keeps, what companion they are interested in, and what organizations they belong to. And, Patrick thinks, we should note their priorities in life and try to determine if their ambitions are selfless or selfish.
Really, many of the ideas Patrick shares on how to separate the dangerous from the desirable are things we already do on a daily basis, have been told to do by our parents or guardians, or are naturally programmed to do as human beings. These guidelines, however, fail to acknowledge the gray areas in people. In reality, we can know all there is to know about someone's focus, lifestyle, associations, and goals and still struggle to develop an accurate profile of them. As a therapist, I know firsthand that despite our level of intelligence, social prowess, life experience, and, for some of us, years of training, some people will still evade us.
And even when we try to be vigilant, we are easily swayed, especially when people are attractive, financially stable, or charming. We also cannot always tell whether a certain trait truly indicates a problem, but have to instead consider it as part of a larger picture. This is part of why therapists, psychologists, and researchers of human development and personality disorders struggle with educating the public on which red flags they should look out for. We can correctly identify some toxic characteristics, like traits often typical of sociopaths or sexual predators, that should tip us off. But we cannot oversimplify this kind of analysis.
Unfortunately, Patrick does oversimplify. Her legal training seems to give her a black-and-white perspective on the world. That perspective might hinder her ability to see the complexity in a person, and it also might turn off some readers.
At the same time, Patrick does do well in some areas of the book. Her discussion of how we can tell if someone we are dating, living with, working for, or sharing an innocent hello with is somewhat useful. After all, many of us believe that if we are dating someone who is successful, attractive, and charismatic, things are going well. Patrick reminds us that what looks too good to be true usually is.
For example, in chapter two, she focuses on "the attraction of power" and other leadership qualities that tend to draw us in. Then she shows us that sociopaths, CEOs, and others we encounter often manipulate us using their power in order to control, weaken, and deceive us: people like convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky, or Jim Jones, the cult leader who led a group in mass murder–suicide. Both individuals were charming to some degree, charismatic, powerful, and alluring. But both used power to control others, and, ultimately, to hurt or kill them.
Still, Patrick is lacking something in her analysis, and focuses too much on certain kinds of traits or behaviors that, in reality, do not always indicate a problem. Her book might be helpful for those who want a basic look at potential red flags, but it's missing a lot of important nuance.

Yep we know, there's an unprecedented amount of FOMO to be had right now. Just when we finally accepted that we're not in Europe, Splendour In The Grass just sent us into massive relapse. Awesome. But get this Melburnians, life doesn't stop for anyone. The universe isn't interested in your European getaway or your splendid weekend in NSW. (We're not bitter at all...can you tell?)
Heads up. Here's what you're *really* in for this week.
Feel like you're constantly rushing these days? Your higher powers want to remind you that while the train might be full speed ahead, there's plenty of stations at which to stop. You just need to choose wisely.
In other news, here's something you shouldn't do slowly... or quietly. And that's eating ramen. Here's our ultimate guide on the delicious bowl of noodles.
We'd love to tell you something you don't know, but with Saturn entering your third house this week, we thought we'd give it to your straight. It's time to stop being a control freak. Key word – try.
You can't control everything. But you can be in charge of making your own brekky. Here's our recipe to make your own delicious Malaysian breakfast.
Lately, you've been wondering what the point of it all is. Venus is heading into a period of retrograde this week and you need to take a step back too. Stop thinking too hard, you're killing the vibe.
In other really important news, you can now send your mates anonymous eggplant emojis. Beats us why.
Ol' mate social media's great at keeping us informed... especially on what we're missing. This week your chart's all about disconnecting, so put down the phone and pick up one of those paper things instead. We think they're called books. You'll be in touch in no time.
We love keeping y'all in the loop, and here's another scoop: Melbourne's own Rone is back in town with his next major exhibit. You're very welcome.
According to your reading this week, your scales are perfectly balanced. And when does that ever happen!? You need to capitalise on this rare cosmic event, 'coz something awesome this way comes.
Speaking of awesome things, there's a music festival taking place in a winery and it's got your name written all over it.
Wanting to blend in with the crowd is so last century. With Mercury picking up a new orbit this week, you've got the green light to add some brand new accessories to your 'drobe.

We want to help you add some colour into your life, good thing there's a unicorn festival on this weekend.
Your unpredictability means you're super popular in the dating game, but your friends? They're so done with your flakiness. Seriously, if they wanted flake, they'd just get a Cadbury. You need to check yo'self, before you wreck yo'self.
Sounds like you're drowning in fizzling friendships. An almond milk latte at one of Brighton's newest digs, The Brighton Buoy, may help you stay afloat.
That band-aiding strategy you've been applying is starting to wear thin. Interestingly, this week your reading is shining a spotlight on three little words: handle with care. Tread lightly Pisces. You don't want to rock the boat.
But there's no problem a juicy, fresh, deep-fried doughnut can't fix (duh). St Gerry's has you covered.
We understand that you guys aren't morning people. Especially not before your first caffeine fix of the day...and ESPECIALLY not with all the majorly sub-par radio shows we've got on air right now. There's so much audible garbage going 'round we're surprised your ears aren't bleeding too.
It's time to take out the trash – we've got your (ears') back. Here's all the podcasts you seriously need in your life.
This just in, one of your galaxy's biggest stars just spontaneously combusted and things are kind of haywire up there right now. This week is all about staying organised, because one wrong move may cause you a major slip up of epic proportions. And ain't nobody got time for that.

CISOs are putting businesses at risk by not securing mobiles, says Oracle.
Half of European businesses are putting themselves at risk by failing to include smartphones in their BYOD strategies, according to a study.
Moreover, many were ignorant of security policies that could help them manage mobiles, according to Oracle's first European BYOD Index report.
The survey of 700 European firms found that a third are not using any form of mobile device management, while 22% had not even heard of mobile application management.
Another 37% were not aware of containerisation, the process of separating company and personal data on a device.
In the UK, where 52% of 100 businesses did not cover smartphones in their BYOD strategies.
Oracle's EMEA VP of security and identity solutions, Alan Hartwell, blamed the lack of smartphone management on the mobile phone's shortcomings as a business tool.
He told CBR: "It was quite a surprise really. But if you look at the spectrum of devices used in business the first device you'd probably look at as a useful tool would be the tablet.
"Smartphones have been for calls, for voice. Now the apps have become smarter; we have the tools that enable things to be done on the small screen where previously it was cumbersome."
Now smartphones are more useful business tools, contended analyst firm Quocirca, failing to secure them poses a serious security risk to businesses.
Founder Clive Longbottom said: "It's a major issue. If there's intellectual property on that device and someone loses it, you have the threat of a breach.
"If you're using any device, say a Windows Phone with Office 365 on there, then you have full access to downloading, editing, doing all sorts of things with information.
"If you regard your Apple iPad as a threat, you've got to regard your iPhone as one too."

However, Hartwell said that today, containerisation is the best option to secure smartphones as part of a BYOD strategy.
"If everything on that device relevant to your business is encrypted, you don't have a problem," he said.
Longbottom added that BYOD policies should also make it simple to use smartphones.
"Make it as open and embracing as possible because we've got new devices coming all the time and new operating systems coming through but there are things you're going to need," he said.
"It has to support a VPN, Java, those sort of very basic things. Just keep it simple; phones need certain base capabilities."

It's Sept. 1: The day after the Aug. 31 cut-off date by which Microsoft said it would shutter the standalone Sunrise Calendar app it acquired last year.
But it turns out Sunrise Calendar has received a reprieve for some unannounced period of time.
A Microsoft official provided PCWorld with the following statement yesterday:
"[W]e have chosen to wait a little longer in order to deliver a few more Sunrise-inspired features in Outlook. Once those features are released, the Sunrise app will officially be shut down."
In May, Microsoft officials said they were removing the Sunrise calendar app from the Apple and Google Play stores. As of Aug. 31, Microsoft planned to shut down the app so that it would cease working, officials said.
Microsoft initially announced in October that it planned to integrate the Sunrise calendar technology that it bought in February 2015 with its redesigned Outlook mobile apps for iOS and Android. The Outlook Mobile apps are built on the Acompli codebase that Microsoft bought when it acquired Acompli in December 2014.
In October last year, Microsoft officials said they planned to replace the standalone Sunrise app with the Outlook Mobile apps that would include built-in calendar functionality. But at that time, Microsoft execs also said they planned to leave Sunrise in market until all of its features were fully integrated into Outlook.
PCWorld notes some of the features in Sunrise that still are not part of Outlook Mobile's built-in calendaring, including integrations with various apps and services, like TripIt and Trello, the ability to display other "interesting" calendars, multiple reminder support, and desktop support.
Update (Sept. 13): Microsoft is sunsetting the standalone Sunrise calendar app on Sept. 13, officials said in a blog post.
"As of today, your (Sunrise) calendar will stop updating and any changes you make to it will not be reflected on any other platform. Tomorrow, you will be logged out of your account. Don't worry though, all the information held in your calendar will still be available on the original platform you were using (Gmail, iCloud, Outlook, etc.)."
Microsoft added the "interesting calendars" feature to Outlook Mobile for iOS and Android today. Interesting calendars was one of the Sunrise calendar features missing from Outlook Mobile on iOS and Android.

In a historic ruling, India's Supreme Court has struck down a colonial-era ban on consensual gay sex, a move hailed by gay rights activists across the country. The ruling allows gay Indians to live more freely, without fear of prosecution under the law; though many still worry about the societal repercussions for being openly gay. With the removal of this Victorian-era law from India's Constitution, gay individuals are afforded the same protections as other members of society making them less subject to systemic oppression.
Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was established in the 1860s by British colonizers during their oppressive rule. The law banned sex that was "against the order of nature," a phrase interpreted by many to prosecute gay individuals, both during colonial rule and once India achieved their independence. Many gay rights activists argued that it was just another manifestation of the ongoing impact of colonization. There have been multiple challenges to the law through the Indian High Court, but the matter was referred to the five-member Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court. It was here, with unanimous support, that the law criminalizing -sex relations was struck down. The Hindu reported that the judges referred to Section 377 as "tyranny," stating that it was "irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary."
Under the overturned law, gay individuals found in violation of Section 377 could be punished with up to 10 years of imprisonment. Although the law was usually used to persecute gay and bisexual men, it applied to gay and bisexual women as well. Besides the threat of prosecution, gay people were subject to blackmail on the basis of their sexuality, as well as extortion and violence.
In some cases, this violence was in the form of corrective rape, a term used to describe rape perpetrated on the basis of hatred for someone's sexuality. The aim is causing them harm; forcing them to realize they are not gay or just as a violent form of homophobia.
Theoretically, the removal of this law would allow gay Indians to access the judicial system if they still found themselves being discriminated against on the basis of their sexuality.
Though overturning Section 377 is a major victory for gay rights and gay individuals across India, there is still much work to be done, as compulsory heterosexuality is still very much enforced — both socially and religiously.
The New York Times reported that the victory was condemned by conservative Hindu, Christian and Muslim groups across the country, with Swami Chakrapani, president of All India Hindu Mahasabha group saying "We are giving credibility and legitimacy to mentally sick people".
Menaka Guruswamy, a lead lawyer representing the challengers to Section 377 stated that the decision says, "You are not alone. The court stands with you. The Constitution stands with you. And therefore your country stands with you."
Cheers echoed across the courtroom, met by bellows of joy as gay Indians and their allies celebrated the ruling with confetti outside the court.

This would be my opinion as well.I recommend playing both and picking the one that feed best in your hands. I think the tonal differences between them are minimal. Your playing technique and amp choices are what will give you some Jimmy Page tones.
Good luck finding your Les Paul.

You'd probably be better off with 60's and Alnico V's, but try the neck first. Personally, I can't play 60's necks…Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm Trying to decide between these two, I know the neck on the 50s is fatter but I wanna know which one has better pickups. Want more of a classic rock type sound like zeppelin.
I must say that the new 50's neck is really good. I have a 2020 Junior that is amazing in how nicely it plays.the new 50s standards are probably the finest guitars ive laid my hands on and I definitely went through a lot of les pauls recently
I've had both, stayed with the 50s. There's overall more roundness and less top end on the 50s in my own testing.This would be my opinion as well.
Had a few 50s & 60s standards recently and was able to a/b them thru my rig for a while.
I ended up preferring the 60s. The 50s (A2s) were just too twangy to my ears. Nice though.
The 60s (A5s) were more versatile for my purposes. Ymmv, of course.

BEREA, Ohio –The Baldwin Wallace University football closed out its three-game season opening homestand as it was defeated by defending NCAA Division III Champion and No. 1-nationally ranked University of Mount Union by a final score of 56-21 in an Ohio Athletic Conference, Community Day and Homecoming game on the Tressel Field inside the George Finnie Stadium.
BW (2-1, 1-1 OAC), who fell to 35-21-1 in the all-time series, scored the most points in the showdown since the 2011 season. Mount Union (2-0, 1-0 OAC) has now won 131 straight regular season games. The last Purple Raider lost on the road during the regular season was to the Yellow Jackets during the 1991 season.
At the conclusion of the game, Yellow Jacket senior quarterback Jake Hudson (East Lake, Florida) was selected the Frank Ropollo Offensive Player of the Game and junior defensive back Raheem Wilson (Tampa, Fla./Gaither) was selected the Dick Miller Defensive Player of the Game. It was the second player of the game award this season for Hudson, who was the 41st Lee Tressel Shrine Classic Player of the Game in season opener against Alma (Mich.) College.
Offensively for BW, Hudson completed12 of 27 passes for 216 yards with one touchdown. Sophomore running back Jon Murray, Jr. (Cincinnati/Withrow) led the ground attack with 68 yards on 11 carries with a long of 21. Junior wide receiver Deion Greer (Toledo/Toledo Central Catholic) led the receiving corps with four catches for 72 yards with a long of 33. Defensively, Wilson and junior defensive back Jack Bauer (Uniontown/Green) each had a career-high six tackles. Wilson also made his first career interception and his first career pass break-up
Mount Union was led by All-OAC quarterback D'Angelo Fulford as he completed 18 of 22 passes for 364 yards with five touchdowns. Senior All-OAC running back Jawanza Evans Morris led the ground attack with 53 yards on nine carries.

Mount Union opened the scoring at the 13:15 mark when Fulford connected with Hill on a 33-yard pass play on its first play from scrimmage in 11 seconds. The Yellow Jackets tied the game at 7-7 when Deion Greer scored on a 15-yard run at 10:09, which was the first touchdown surrendered by the Purple Raiders since the 9:30 mark in the 2017 NCAA National Semifinal game against Wisconsin-OshKosh. Junior kicker Jimmy Marshall (Lakewood) added the extra point. Mount Union regained the lead at 14-7, which it would not relinquish, when junior linebacker intercepted the pass and returned 25-yards to pay dirt at the 6:18 mark. The Purple Raiders closed out the first half scoring at 21-7 when senior All-OAC wide out Jared Ruth caught a 54-yard pass from Fulford at 4:40. Junior kicker Cory Barnett tacked on all three extra points.
BW opened the second quarter scoring when senior wide receiver Ty Gallo (Brooklyn Heights/Cuyahoga Heights) caught a 12-yard pass from Hudson at the 13:15. Marshall added the extra point. Mount Union scored the final three touchdowns of the first half to take a 42-14 lead into halftime. Fulford hit senior All-OAC wide receiver Luke Herrington on a 35-yard pass play at 11:04. Evans-Morris scampered to a three-yard touchdown at the 5:41 mark. Herrington caught his second touchdown on 31-yard pass from Fulford with 56 seconds remaining. Barnett added all three extra points.
Mount Union scored the only points in the third quarter to go up 56-14. Hill and Fulford connected on a 61-yard pass play just 34 seconds in the quarter. Sophomore quarterback Jake Keeney scored on a 23-yard run at the 7:01 mark. Barnett tacked on both extra points.
The Yellow Jackets closed out the scoring when junior running back Lyle Grant (Alden, N.Y./Alden Central) scored on a one-yard run at 13:11. Marshall added the final point after.
BW goes on the road for the first time in 2018 when it travels to Tiffin for an OAC game against Heidelberg University at 7 p.m. It will be the third night game in the first four games for the Yellow Jackets.

I feel like the plot points have been dragged out to the point

Stacey invites Danielle to R&R with her for a liquid lunch, but despite having three jobs, she claims she has no money because she's saving. Stumbling upon the guest list on Ronnie's computer, Stacey sneakily adds their names onto it. While Stacey ponders what Danielle could be keeping from her, Ronnie storms into the pub and confronts Danielle over adding names to guest list. Stacey, however, immediately owns up. Danielle's upset by Ronnie's outburst and leaves, closely followed by Archie. Outside, Danielle thrusts the letter she's taken from Ronnie's desk into his hands and he's stunned by its contents.
Later, Archie turns up at R&R and shows her that he has her letter. Archie pretends that he's heard from Joel (Ronnie's first love and father to her daughter) who he had some interesting things to say. Ronnie quickly realises that Archie's lying about his contact with Joel. Spitefully, Archie sets fire to the letter she wrote to him. Fuming, Ronnie marches through the market and sacks Danielle on the spot for stealing the letter and giving it to Archie. Stacey looks on and Danielle's evident upset is enough to confirm that she's hiding something. Will Danielle come clean?
Meanwhile, Whitney tells Tony that she's going away with Bianca for a couple of weeks. Worried, he persuades Bianca to catch a later train. Tony speaks to Whitney alone and tells her that he doesn't know how he's going to cope while she's away. Whitney's thrown by his apparent honesty and tells him that it's his fault that they're in this mess. Capitalising on her emotional vulnerability, Tony suggests that they give it another go. But will Whitney agree?
Elsewhere, Billy asks Peggy if Jay can move into The Vic; Archie tells Peggy that Pat can't be her matron of honour; Roxy and Jane persuade Christian to let them meet Lee; Jay arrives at The Vic; and Lee's visit doesn't go quite as Christian had hoped.

I currently have 2 * RX 480s I have been having this issue on the previous driver and currently driver version 19.6.1
Basically when playing World of warcraft, fully up to date btw, when I have it set to DX 12 the game crashes. When it is set to DX 11 it does not crash at all. I have reported this as an issue over a month ago to AMD and thought it would have been fixed in the most recent driver update. I have tried clean installing the graphics drivers and all sorts and nothing seems to fix it. I even read on another post someone reseated the cards and dusted the inside of the PC I also tried this and it did not fix it. I mean the game runs fine on DX 11 anyway so it's not a major issue, but I like the look of DX 12 better. Hopefully this can be fixed? Also please post if your having similar issues.

Cambridge, UK and Nijmegen, the Netherlands, 2 July 2014 – Antitope Limited ("Antitope"), an Abzena company, today announced that it will collaborate with Synthon Biopharmaceuticals BV ("Synthon"), a global pharmaceutical company with expertise in the development of complex small molecule and biosimilar drugs and new biopharmaceuticals, including antibody drug conjugates ("ADC"), to assess the potential immunogenicity of candidate antibodies for Synthon's ADC programmes.
Antitope will use its EpiScreen™ technology, a highly accurate and sensitive ex vivo human T cell assay to determine the potential immunogenicity of the antibodies provided by Synthon. The EpiScreen™ technology correlates with published clinical anti-drug antibody immunogenicity data which supports selection of lead product candidates with low immunogenicity during preclinical development. "We are confident that Antitope's EpiScreen™ technology will strongly help reduce the risk that Synthon's antibody based development candidates will induce immunogenic responses in patient populations," said Marco Timmers, CSO of Synthon Biopharmaceuticals.
Matthew Baker, CSO of the Abzena group and co-founder of Antitope, commented: "We are very pleased to be working with a company that, like Abzena, has scientific innovation at the heart of its business and look forward to collaborating with Synthon to help it build its biopharmaceuticals pipeline."

heyy guys are the medals on this site busted? it says i have no "cry havoc" or "hammer and tongs" or "scorched earth" medals...but i have recorded videos of me getting them. and not that i recently got them, some of these videos go way back. i did delete my titan and created a new one, but that doesnt explain my "scorched earth" medals because i have been using my warlock since i got the game and have never deleted him. am i the only one with this issue or are there other players experiencing it as well
Hi Im Swat

Hi, @cubistic Legacy
There's two possibilities for those medals not showing up
Reason 1:
*If you earned any of those medals on the Titan you said you deleted, those would of been lost. Whenever you delete a character, all stats associated with that character are deleted. This is how Bungie handles deleted characters, not us.
Reason 2:
*There might be a small chance an error occurred in Bungie's game collection which prevented that game from being recorded. If this is the case, there won't be any record of you earning those medals.

The young Dutchman scored a fine header to set Liverpool on their way to a 3-1 Champions League victory over PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday night.
Babel said after the win in Eindhoven: "I have talked to the manager about my future, about maybe a loan somewhere so I can play every week."
He added: "Ajax was only an example, a possibility, not something I was trying to make happen."
Ajax had been keen on the idea, but have been told there is no chance of such a move while Liverpool are fighting for the Barclays Premier League title.
Babel said: "Rafa has said no. He did not promise me anything for the rest of the season, there were no conditions and I have to accept this."
Before the match Babel's commitment to the cause and claims he had tried to get a loan move back to Ajax were talking points.
Babel's agent claimed the 20-year-old winger had wanted him to sound out Ajax about the proposition.
But Liverpool have made it very clear Babel is going nowhere and must knuckle down to his role in the squad, having been unable to convince Benitez he should be a regular in the starting line-up.

Jonathan Monaghan's Synthetic Mythologies: Opening Reception
Tuesday, September 18, 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design (RMCAD)
Refracting tech-age anxieties through a baroque, fantastical prism — pearlescent unicorns are a recurrent motif, for example — the artwork of multimedia artist Jonathan Monaghan seeks foreboding truths hidden in eye-pleasing imagery. Rendered on prints and animated digital videos, Monaghan's latest exhibit, Synthetic Mythologies, alights upon the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design's Philip J. Steele Gallery, kicking off with an opening reception on Tuesday, September 18, and closing on Friday, November 16. In addition to displaying his work, Monaghan will be appearing at the reception to present "Fear, Myth, and Decadence in the Digital Age," the first outing of RMCAD's Fictions lecture series of the fall. And should the gallery whet your appetite for more of Monaghan's inspired weirdness, he'll be screening shorts at the SUPERNOVA Outdoor Digital Animation Festival on Thursday, September 20. Visit RMCAD's events calendar to learn more about Synthetic Mythologies.

High speed alternative energy train
Solar Bullet is a campaign that suggests the concept of high-speed fuel fuel by alternative energy running on solar powered rails.
Self driving cars
Even though the concept of self-driving cars reminds companies like an old Sci-FI movie, developers, engineers and even Google, is testing them around the world.
When an object is placed in water or any other fluid, then it is very quickly surrounded by gas bubbles. This effect is called supercavitation. Scientists consider using it to develop future transportation methods.
The idea of ultra-fast public transportation is not only a dream, but a real technique in the process of development.
Vacuum trains
Evacueated tube transport system has suggested to keep maglev trains in the empty tube, which will increase their speed by 4,039 miles per hour.
Flying car
Flying car, as seen in movies, can not happen in the future as it may seem. Scientists of Tel Aviv, Israel, started a project for the construction of public transport instruments which could fly due to magnetic levitation techniques.
For the first time, the US Army had thought of JetPack in 1940. Since then, many unsuccessful attempts have been made to convert Jetpac into military property.
Space lift
The Space Elevator represents a project that was theorem about 100 years ago. This structure will be able to be made of light matter, which "connects" with the surface of the Earth, a base station, orbit of the Earth (about 60,000 miles).
Skyline is one of the ways of future transportation, which promises fast and easy access to the outer space.
In the experiments of 2010 and 2012, Chinese physicists managed to transport a photon at a distance of 10 and 60 miles, respectively. They found that when the photon is moved from point A to point B, the structure of the object can change, and an object will be copied.

Clint Dempsey has returned to training for the Seattle Sounders after being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat last month.
The former Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur star endured a huge health scare last month after he was diagnosed with an irregular heart and as a result of the problem, the attacker has not featured in a competitive fixture since August 22.
As a huge boost, it can now be revealed that USA international Dempsey has returned to full training but has not been medically cleared to play competitive football as of yet.
Sounders' General Manager Garth Lagerwey said: "Dempsey has been cleared to return to training... but he's not been medically cleared to play.
"When Clint feels better and the doctors consider it safe, then we will consider his return to play.
"You can't just say, 'Clint's important to us', you have to mean it and that means Clint's health comes first."

38. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his plans for upgrading refugee centres nationally. [12007/19]
Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality (Deputy David Stanton): The improvements to living conditions for applicants for international protection have been significant over recent years. These include the implementation of self- or communal catering arrangements in a number of accommodation centres. As a result of this initiative, approximately 2,000 residents in nine centres have now moved to the independent living model. In parallel with the delivery of these changes, a number of other accommodation centres are providing self-catering facilities with fresh food provided by either the contractor or the resident themselves. As a result a total over 2,900 residents in the centres are no longer under the Direct Provision model as originally developed and further progress is being made in this area.
In addition, there have been significant improvements to recreation opportunities. Friends of the Centre groups have been established in each centre. This initiative aims to bring residents, community and voluntary groups together with a view to increasing integration opportunities and providing for the development of greater community linkages with the residents and the centre.
Following the McMahon Report, a Standards Advisory Group was set up in 2017. The work of this group is to build on the recommendations of that Report and to develop a set of standards for accommodation provided for those people seeking the protection of the State. The Standards will meet those set out in the Recast Reception Conditions Directive and under EASO Guidance on Reception Conditions. Operational standards and indicators will take due cognisance of the responsibility to promote equality, prevent discrimination and protect the human rights of employees, customers, service users and everyone affected by policies and plans as defined by the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty.
In order to meet needs in the longer term, and improve the quality of the accommodation , the Department has recently commenced a public procurement exercise under which public tenders for the provision of accommodation and ancillary services to persons in the protection process, by way of the independent living model, will be advertised. This process is scheduled to continue throughout 2019 and is due for completion in 2020. This will be delivered via a series of regional competitions to cover the entire State. Under this competition, all successful bids must provide residents with the option of preparing their own meals as part of their proposal.

Top European Court to Review National Data Retention Laws
Today, the Court of Justice for the European Union will hear challenges to the data retention laws of the UK, Belgium, and France. The Court previously invalidated European and national data retention laws that required companies to retain communications data for law enforcement purposes. The Court said the laws were a "particularly serious" interference with the right to privacy. The new challenges, brought by civil society organizations, contend that European national laws fail to comply with the earlier rulings. EPIC recently urged the FCC to repeal a similar regulation that requires the retention of US telephone records, following an earlier petition to the agency. When the FCC docketed the EPIC petition for public comment, every comment received supported an end to the data retention regulation.
