USS Turbot (SS-427), a Balao-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the turbot, a large, brown and white flatfish, valued as a food.
Turbot's keel was laid down on 13 November 1943 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company, but the contract for her construction was cancelled on 12 August 1945. Her partially completed hulk was launched on 12 April 1946 and, in 1950, was assigned to the Naval Ship Research and Development Center at Annapolis, Maryland, where it was used for research and development in connection with the control and reduction of machinery noise in submarines.
Turbot was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in 1958, and sold for scrapping to the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, at Sparrow's Point, Maryland; however, rather than being scrapped, she remained tied up to a U.S. Navy pier in Carr's Creek at the North Severn Naval Station in Maryland, where she continued to be used for testing well into the 1980s. Some material was removed from her hulk for use in other submarines, and her six torpedo air flasks were installed in the submarine USS Pampanito (SS-383) in San Francisco, California.

Why Do Dental Veneer Prices Seem So High?
Why Do Dental Veneer Prices Seem So High? Are They Worth It?
Why do dental veneer prices seem so high? This is a question you're likely to ask yourself or your dentist if you're thinking of having veneers applied to your teeth. Many patients believe that covering their chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth with porcelain or composite veneers is a convenient way to improve their appearance, but when they see the price tag for such a service, they begin to think twice. There is, however, several good reasons why veneers are so costly. In the end, whether or not the cost of veneers is worth it to you will depend on what problems you're trying to solve, whether or not there are other alternative solutions, and what you hope to get out of your veneers.
People love cosmetic and implant dentistry because both can literally transform your smile. Whether patients come in with merely discolored teeth or missing, chipped teeth in need of more serious implant work, cosmetic and implant dentists have a number of tools at their disposal to improve the appearance and function of patients' dentition.
How Much Do Veneers Cost, and Are They Worth It?
Have you ever searched "how much do veneers cost" and, upon seeing the prices, immediately decided this cosmetic dental procedure was too costly to be worth it? If so, you're not alone. A lot of patients wish they could have celebrity smiles, but upon learning the answer to the question "how much do veneers cost?" they change their minds. Porcelain veneers can run anywhere from $925 - $2500 per tooth, and composite veneers can cost $250 to $1500 per tooth. However, if you dig a little deeper and consider the many benefits you'll experience when wearing veneers, those prices begin to seem a lot more reasonable. When you wear veneers, you get a lot more than a prettier smile.
All of us, at some point in our lives, have visited a dental clinic. Some may have gone for something as trivial as teeth cleaning while others may have undergone complex cosmetic dentistry procedures. In today's world, image is considered one of the most important reasons for people to avail of cosmetic dental services like teeth whitening.
If you are having doubts about the health of your teeth or if the thought of flashing your smile your smile in public makes you panic, Dr. Mann of Mann Dental Care in Sugar Land TX is precisely the dentist who you need to see. Even if you are unaware of what can be done to help you get that beautiful smile or healthy mouth you've always wanted – or used to have – a free consultation with Dr. Mann can answer all of your questions happily with a single visit, and map out a treatment plan that fits your budget and gets you feeling confident again.
Very few people like going to the dentist, but you don't have to dread your dentist's office either. In addition to maintaining the health of your teeth, many dentists offer cosmetic dentistry services that can improve your smile, helping you to feel more confident on a daily basis.
One of the most popular reasons to go see a cosmetic dentist is to get your teeth whitened. Teeth can become stained over the years due to drinking coffee or tea, smoking, or due to taking medications that can change the color of your teeth to a yellow or brown tint. Over time, this can lead to your teeth becoming noticeably less white and may cause you to hold back on your smile in photograph and social occasions for fear that people will notice your teeth are discolored.
A cosmetic dental care provider can help reverse the staining process, allowing you to regain the natural white hue of your healthy teeth. Although there are many different "take home" products that you can use to whiten your teeth, including specially formulated strips, some of the most effective treatments require the supervision of your dentist.
Are you unhappy with your smile? Are you afraid to flash your pearly whites in company? If your answer is yes, you need cosmetic dentistry services. These services can give you a dental makeover and focuses just on teeth and gums that are visible in the smile zone. It is amazing how dental science and technology has advanced. Through these unique and innovative dentistry services, misaligned and asymmetrical teeth can be made symmetrical and discolored and yellowish-colored teeth can be made sparkling white. It is totally amazing how this branch of dentistry can transform and enhance your facial features.
Invisible braces or clear aligner orthodontics is used to improve teeth alignment which is important for apearance, dental health and chewing functions. This service is now being offered by Sugar Land Dentist Dr. Mark Mann.
Poor dental health can make it hard to eat due to sensitive teeth or toothaches. This can lead to a person not eating the proper diet. Crowded teeth and spaced teeth are harder to clean than properly aligned teeth which makes it easier for tooth decay and other dental health issues to take hold. Properly aligned teeth remain healthier and improve a person's self-esteem.
In the past, properly aligning teeth meant obvious and often painful braces. However, invisible braces are now available which are taking the place of metal and 'clear' braces.

Congrats for being on P3, that's pretty big.
Lovely song. Cool thing they picked such a game-ish song.

It sounds nothing like Dragonforce to me.. but that's because it actually sounds good (inb4 the fire and the flaming me.. ooh see what i did there..)
The only thing that could sound similar to Dragonforce in Shinigami is the fast paced drumming during a few verses..
But Shinigami sounds great to me

Yeah, I can kind of see what that guy meant with Dragonforce. Nevertheless, this song is goddamn awesome.
Edit: That is indeed a good portion of SID in there.

Kickass song btw. Every song you release is getting better and better. I'm probably going to die from eargazm when the album comes.

Wow. Thats four that have rocked my socks. Somebody freakin' owes me a pack of socks.
But yeah, Shinigami was great. Been wanting to hear that since I recently found Death Note and loved it.
Maaaaaan, album is so close I can taste it.
I guess now the song I'm dying to hear is Cybergenesis.... and the rest of the album, whom's I be kiddin?
Edit: Also, to join the discussion here, I honestly do not like Dragonforce. I've listened to some of their stuff and meh, just not a Dragonforce fan. I can see why people would like them though. With that being said, I loved Shinigami. I did not even THINK of Dragonforce when I listened to it. Didn't even remotely cross my mind. I don't see where anyone could make that comparison, but I guess it's all subjective to what you hear and what you like.

Yeah, GD have evidently done two things:
1) Desperately claw around for a comparison in something that's incomparable.
2) Only listened the first 10 seconds of each song. If you do that then, yes, Shinigami will sound a lot like Dragonforce - fast paced drum and SID that sounds like Li tapping. If they listened to the rest of the song they'd notice it's completely different.
Gratz on being on P3 - didn't know what that was but it's sounds like a big deal
Quote from: aka. on October 22, 2010, 01:44:18 am
True on the review thing. I honestly believe that many reviewers don't actually sit down and listen to the album, just listening to it once or twice through speakers and writing the review meanwhile. (This is not just for the Masu album, this is reviewers in whole.)
And P3 is one of the biggest radio stations in Sweden.
Schattenjaeger
Somewhere inside I'd like to find...
I can see where the DF reference comes from... the fast drum sections and synth'd sounds inside them are not dissimilar. That said, I wouldn't have drawn the comparison myself.
Also, the SNES-like synth starting about 1:52 reminds me incredibly of TMNT for the SNES.
Quote from: Fiindil on March 13, 2007, 07:01:25 pm
Your approval fills me with shame.
Shinigami has pushed Forced Feedback aside and taken the throne as my favorite for this album.
The possibility that any other song could be MORE awesome is frightening, in the "will the MaSu fans' neighbors survive the sonic onslaught" sense.
Oh yes. This is aural sex. Repeat ad nauseum and not getting old yet.

Yes! Yes!
I just want to thank the band for making the wait for this album a little less painful. <3
Quote from: Haastrain on October 22, 2010, 07:09:51 am
Less?! How? I can only assume these four songs are the tip of the iceberg of Epic.
The wait, it kills. Slowly.
Quote from: Schattenj�ger on October 22, 2010, 07:22:46 am
It's better than not hearing any of it and waiting and entire agonizing month after putting the money down for the pre-order before hearing any of it. They release one song, then we listen a lot, and we get occupied figuring out the lyrics on the forums together, and as soon as we start getting antsy for more, another release, and repeat. At least we get a little new MaSu in our system before the album arrives. I am still mega-hype for the rest though, 9 more songs to hear, wooooo!

P3 is Swedish national radio. Being played on P3 is a good way to get into the conciousness of the common populace in Sweden.
To illustrate: the song "Boten Anna" (later released as "Now you're gone" internationally) was released as an IRC in-joke and floated around on the intarwebs for about 6-12 months, before someone at P3 decided to give it some airtime. Just one or two months later of occasional airplay, the song was a national phenomenon which everyone had heard or heard of (although the IRC in-jokes were of course lost on them).

Of course the songs on the new album sound all alike - they all have guitars, drums and vocals*.
You should employ a quintet of trumpets, a horn and bagpipes next time.

The smart phone has turned just about everyone into an amateur photographer. With these devices housing 12 megapixel cameras on average, its easy to see how after taking a few pictures people are looking to take digital photography more seriously.
Unfortunately for those new to photography, there are several digital single lens reflex (SLR) cameras to choose from. That can make buying the right camera an overwhelming task. Some people make their decision based on price alone, only to later find out that by spending a bit more money they would have been happier with their camera. Others take the advice of a store clerk who may or may not know the difference between the different models they carry. Then there are those who do their due diligence and turn to reviews and comparisons to find the perfect camera for them.
From there, they will look at other features and make their choice. With so many advances in camera technology, these features may make the decision much easier for the average consumer.
This review will look at two of the more popular cameras on the market, the Nikon D5500 and the Canon T6i to help you make the right choice.
The Nikon D5500 is considered a mid-level DSLR camera that is easy enough for a beginner to use, while providing a rich feature set that allows a novice photographer to grow into. After spending some time diving into the user manual, it is easy to see just how versatile this camera is.
Known for having great image quality and color depth, this camera is good choice for the amateur and also serves as a perfect backup for professional photographers.
The ergonomics of this camera is also something to note. Its small size and light weight make it capable for one-handed use. However, some users have noted that this model does suffer from shutter shock when shooting with shutter speeds between 1/80 and 1/320. The visible blur noticed by some may turn off more discerning users. Yet while this has been a reported issue, not all people who own this camera complain about this problem. Some even say they have never experienced any issues with it.
The MSRP for the D5500 is $750 for the body-only and around $1000 if you include the 18-55mm kit lens.
Like Nikon, Canon is a well-known name in the DLSR market and offers a family of cameras to choose from in the EOS Rebel T series. While the T6i lacks some of the features that the T6s provides, this camera does bring Canon to the level of other digital camera manufacturers. Easy enough for the beginner to use, the T6i also gives you room to grow as you become a more experienced hobbyist photographer.
Looking at the basics, you can see that the Canon T6i compares to most other cameras in this class. Where there is a large difference is when you look at the MSRP. For this model, the suggested pricing with the 18-55mm kit lens is only $899.99 with the Canon online store offering it for $749.99. That is a substantial difference considering you don't have to purchase the lens separately. If you don't want the kit lens, you can easily find the body only at a great price.
Complaints about the T6i come mainly in response to its shorter battery life and some complaints about the auto focus being a bit slower than other models in this class. It is a bit heavier than the D5500, 135 grams. However, this isn't enough for the average person to not be able to use this with one hand.
If you were to look at the basic specs of these two cameras and take price into consideration, it is almost a hands down win for the Canon T6i. However, if you dig a bit deeper into other features for both cameras, the choice becomes more of an issue of the type of user and how he or she will use it.
Let's start by looking at where the T6i has an edge, and that is in the more consumer technology features. Built into Canon's model are Wi-Fi capability and near field communication (NFC) that allows the camera to connect directly to a smart phone for easy sharing of photos and video along with remote control capability. Unfortunately, that is where the Canon's edge ends. Everything else falls into the Nikon column.
The D550 supports Wi-Fi capability as well, so connecting to a wireless printer or other devices on a network is available like its competitor. It does, however, lack NFC capabilities. So, if connectivity to a smart phone is a necessity, the Nikon is not for you.
So, if picture quality is a key driver, the Nikon is the better route. Although one feature that this model is GPS capability for geotagging pictures. The Canon does not provide this feature, however Nikon's previous model did include this and it is odd that they left it out of the D5500.
Both models do provide built-in flash and external flash shoes. Other common features include a microphone port, external storage slot for SD cards, face detection focus, articulating screen, and mini HDMI ports. One of the more popular similarities among these two cameras is the selfie friendly LCD. This feature allows the user to rotate the LCD so that they can take selfies and make sure that they are never left out of an important picture.
There are also some similar complaints about both cameras that consumers seem to focus on. The most frequent is the lack of image stabilization that makes it hard to take action shots without a practiced, steady hand.
Also, both cameras have shallow buffer depth when you shoot pictures as RAW files compounding the issues with action and follow up shots since it takes longer to transfer the image from buffer memory to the storage device. Finally, the lack of ability to fine tune auto focus is troublesome to those who are looking to move past basic camera functionality and get more into intermediate picture taking.
Both the Nikon D5500 and the Canon T6i are excellent cameras, especially for the beginning photographer. Neither will disappoint if your intention is to take pictures of the family, sporting events, or even landscapes that catch your eye.
However, the differences between these two cameras almost make it seem as if they are intended for different markets. The Canon's inclusion of NFC for smart phone connectivity and lower price point seem to steer it towards the consumer market. People who want good, quality pictures but don't plan to expand their photographic interests to the next level.
The Nikon, on the other hand, looks to aim more towards the hobbyist market. Photographers who may spend their free time looking for that perfect shot and require the right camera to help them capture it just right. So for the purposes of this blog the Nikon D5500 wins out!

Our magnificent Milky Way Galaxy sprawls across this ambitious all-sky panorama. In fact, at 800 million pixels the full resolution mosaic strives to show all the stars the eye can see in planet Earth's night sky. As part of ESO's Gigagalaxy Zoom Project, Serge Brunier recorded images with a digital camera over several months of 2008 and 2009 at exceptional astronomical sites—the Atacama Desert in the southern hemisphere and the Canary Islands in the northern hemisphere. The individual frames were stitched together and mapped into a single, flat, apparently seamless 360 by 180 degree view. The final result is oriented so the plane of our galaxy runs horizontally through the middle with the bulging Galactic Center at image center. Below and right of center are the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds. The Andromeda galaxy is just below center about 1/6 of the way from the left edge. Also visible are bright planets (with spikes around them) and even a comet.

Q: Vlookup [By matching lookup value to half of the table array] I have two sheets and one sheet has parent company name and another sheet has company name followed by product name. I want to do vlookup in product name to get matching company name inside product name option.
For example: Company name is apple and product name is apple macbook. Product name(apple macbook) matching company name(apple) I want to put apple before apple macbook column. Company_name
Product_name
I try to do find and match but couldn't do it. I am keen to learn if there is any method do to so.

A: You can use XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array,, [match_mode]) (or equivalent VLOOKUP)  with approximate match_mode set to -1, which means: exact match. If none found, return the next smaller item.
In cell C2 use the following formula:
=XLOOKUP(D2:D7,$A$2:$A$4,$A$2:$A$4,,-1)

here is the output:

or you can use exact match assuming the company name is at the beginning, so
=XLOOKUP(TEXTBEFORE(D2:D7, " "),$A$2:$A$4,$A$2:$A$4,"Not found")

This option gives you the possibility to check if the company name was not found.
Note: Both options are case insensitive.

Can You Trade the RMB?
By Tom Streissguth
How to Invest in the Yen
i BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
The People's Republic of China strictly controls the exchange of its currency, the renminbi, sometimes called RMB. The "yuan," as it's also known, trades within a specified band, with the People's Bank of China setting this as an official exchange rate and not allowing its banks to deviate from that peg. You can still speculate on the currency in the foreign currency markets, and potentially could profit from a successful guess on the renminbi's future value against other major currencies, including the euro, Japanese yen and U.S. dollar.
Currency Rates and RMBs
The RMB is a fixed-rate currency, in contrast to the dollar and other major currencies whose values "float" freely on the foreign-exchange markets. The People's Bank of China issues the Chinese currency and sets the "reference rate," a fixed exchange value that is not allowed to deviate more than 1 percent. In July, 2013, for example, the Bank of China set the reference rate to 6.1751 yuan to the dollar. The fewer currency units that are exchanged for a dollar, the stronger that currency is, and this currency "peg" had been gradually rising for several years. If you believe the yuan will continue to rise, you could simply open a bank account denominated in Chinese money. One example is the EverBank World Currency Access Deposit, which earns interest and is available for IRA accounts. Of course, the yuan could go down, which would lower the relative value of the deposit you made.
Spot Market Trading
Since the yuan still fluctuates within its narrow band, it is possible to trade the currency and earn a profit, or realize a loss, as the spot-market value changes. You can trade the RMB directly by setting up an online foreign-exchange trading account. After funding the account, you can trade currency pairs such as USD/CNY, which is the U.S. dollar versus the Chinese yuan. Going "long" on this pair means speculating that the dollar will rise against the yuan. "Shorting" the pair means you're guessing that the yuan will gain against the dollar.
If the fast-moving currency spot market is not your style, you can invest in the RMB more conservatively with an exchange-traded fund. These funds trade like a stock on the major exchanges, while holding a portfolio of futures contracts and other investments that fluctuate with the spot-market value of their focus currency. Examples include Market Vectors Chinese Renminbi/USD, the Wisdom Tree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund, and CurrencyShares Chinese Renminbi. Exchange-traded funds will charge expenses that you should research in a fund prospectus before committing any of your risk capital.
Chinese Shares
If you're more into long-term investment in the Chinese economy, you can also consider publicly traded companies that are either headquartered or do business in China. Many of these companies list on the New York Stock Exchange and other exchanges, and are as accessible to traders as a conventional U.S. stock. If the RMB rises in value against your U.S. dollars, so will the shares of Chinese companies, but the inverse is also true. As with any investment, there are risks for possible rewards. Along with the currency speculation, you may receive a stream of dividend payments paid by the more established and profitable companies.

DRAFT | What in hell this demoniac is up to these days
Another update: A basic prototype of the "skimmer" in Chroma, which lets you skim videos frame-by-frame by sliding the row of frame thumbnails left/right to rewind/forward:
Update: code that lets you play *all* your videos on your iPhone, simultaneously:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/14seebj6eueefri/ThreadSampleCode_2.zip
I hate writing about demons when I'm writing software. So, like most posts for the past six months or so, this is also a draft, which contains some blurbs I intend to wordsmith someday—but have no firm plans to actually do so soon—but with photos and videos of the software I've been writing.
One component of the upcoming Chroma app is the video asset chooser, the prototype for which is shown here. The requirements were to list each video on a user's iPhone, with each video playing simultaneously in a multi-paned window. I went beyond that, having not only achieved flawless playback for all 16 concurrent operations allotted to iPhone 6s Plus, but also by adding a reflection effect under each video window, which simultaneously mirrors the playback of all 16 videos playing in the video window. What's more, is all these things, in addition to smooth scrolling and instantaneous video loading and playback—there's no lag when a user scrolls through the collection, regardless of scrolling speed.
That may sound like a nerd-thing; but, it's really more like a giving-it-your-all-thing. Second-rate software for a problem like the one Chroma intends to help solve is unacceptable, and any developer writing such software should know literally everything about iPhone development and its hardware. That is almost what you would have to know to do what you see in the video (even though it may not look like much to a non-developer.
At the end of this post are specifications for the next version of the asset chooser, which will enable simultaneous playback of all videos in a user collection that will fit on their iPhone display, with smooth scaling (in addition to all the above features, of course). Using the pinch gesture, the user will be able to adjust the number of videos displayed at one time.
A feat of software-engineering prowess: a collection view, listing all videos on an iPhone, by which you select a video (in this case, within the upcoming Chroma app) first by scrolling to it, and then touching it—while each video plays in its preview window in real-time, as does the mirrored reflection below it, and while achieving perfectly smooth scrolling performance and instant playback as each videos slides onto the screen:
A solid understanding of threading (concurrency) and blocks is required to achieve this effect, not to mention an equally solid ability to implement concurrency in an app so as to actually improve performance without adding unnecessary complexity to the app's design. Per Apple, "implementing a correct threading solution [is] extremely difficult, if not impossible to achieve."
No shit. This took me forever, the time taken having postponed the release of Chroma for another month. My programming background was of little avail. iOS programming is not MacOSX programming, the differences greater than just cellphone vs. desktop.
But, the detour was necessary, in that, at the onset of Chroma's development, I lacked the requisite knowledge for deploying an app that would and could perform up to the standards set for it.

The video preview cells play their respective videos in real-time, while the reflection simultaneously mirrors playback
By contrast, Apple's Photos app uses static previews (non-moving poster frames) for each video:

On November 24th, which is also the United Nations Day, Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens' Co-chair Ban Ki-moon was invited as a guest lecturer to Professor Fernando Reimers' International Education Policy class. The week was also the Worldwide Week during which Harvard schools, research centers, student organizations, and departments host academic and cultural events with global themes to showcase the school's global engagement.
As a graduate of Harvard himself, Ban delivered a special lecture on how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN have been developed and how the international community has faced challenges in achieving the goals. The students discussed how to effectively advance the goals through the education on global citizenship at a time of rising nationalism and intolerance.
Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens and UNESCO APCEIU (Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding under the auspices of UNESCO) signed an MOU on October 19th, 2018.
Both Centres aim to promote global citizenship through education to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The APCEIU organizes annual international conference on Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and provides online courses, workshops, and various other platforms to share their expertise and knowledge on GCED.
Last month, the Ban Ki-moon Centre participated in the APCEIU's 3rd International Conference on GCED; Co-chair Ban Ki-moon delivered congratulatory remarks and CEO Monika Froehler moderated a session on "GCED Talks." The conference provided "an active platform to promote dialogue and share up-to-date issues and good practices of global citizenship education," said APCEIU Director Utak Chung.
As Co-chair Ban emphasized that "nothing can be done without good education," both institutions will cooperate to provide quality education on global citizenship. Scholarships, fellowships, workshops, and other academic programs will be jointly initiated to spread the notion of global citizenship with a focus on empowering women and youth across the world.
During the two-day International Conference on GCED held in Seoul, Korea on September 5-6th, 2018, the BKM Centre's CEO Monika Froehler moderated a plenary session to facilitate and present experts' talks on global citizenship education.
The session invited socially influential people to the stage one by one, who shared their ideas and views on achieving global citizenship. The speakers shared genuine stories about the power of the education on global citizenship that transforms lives.
The Centre's Co-chair Ban Ki-moon delivered congratulatory address at the opening session of the 3rd International Conference on GCED co-organized by UNESCO APCEIU, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea. The conference was on the topic of "Platform on Pedagogy and Practice" with focus on local-contextualization of Global Citizenship Education (GCED).
"As Former Secretary-General (of the UN), I will continue to forge a bright future for next generation. I greatly look forward to future collaboration between my Centre and APCEIU," said Ban.
Ban emphasized on education on global citizenship in the efforts of achieving the SDGs, concerning 60 million children who are left out of school throughout the world.
APCEIU Director Chung Utak also welcomed the conference participants, and Vice Minister Park Chun-ran of the Korean Ministry of Education delivered opening address. The two-day conference consists of panel discussions, various sessions, and workshops with global citizens from all over the world.

Q: Feedback for data analysis needed I'd appreciate some feedback on the approach to conduct data analysis for my study.
The ultimate goal of the project is to build a predictive model for treatment outcome.
The first study is supposed to be a benchmark and use traditional statistical methods to select group level predictors. Second study will imply building an ML model for individual-level prediction and is to be compared performance-wise with the benchmark study.
My question concerns the first study.
There are over 2000 observations and hundreds of potential predictors of different types collected from different sources. The dependent variable is post-treatment symptom level (continuous).
What I'm doing now is running univariate regressions with each potential predictor pre-selecting those established in the literature (and some domain knowledge based) to later include in a multiple regression model.
Please provide feedback on whether it's a reasonable approach and what its drawbacks are. Important caveat is that I'm quite junior and would prefer to abstain from overly complicated methods at this point if the benefit is marginal.


Like a lot of people my age, I grew up on video games. There was no bigger game at the time than Pacman. As we increasingly see popular video games made into feature-length movies, it was just a matter of time before Pacman made it to the big screen with a budget of $110 Million.
In Pixels, intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner, now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten, a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.
The movie has an impressive case including Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage and Josh Gadand Brian Cox. Directed by Chris Columbus, Screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, Story by Tim Herlihy (don't expect much story), Based on the short film by Patrick Jean, Produced by Adam Sandler, Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, and Allen Covert.
Don't take this too seriously, if you go see it in September this year, it'll be a movie that has some neat special effects, lots of comedy and let you reminisce about a miss-spent youth on the end of a NES controller.


I think I am becoming a virtual mom.
With my travel schedule, I have found FaceTime to be a wonderful tool to stay connected to my family. From afar I have been able to help with homework, see a bloody gap where a tooth used to be and help pick out appropriate clothes for school pictures.
Last night after the Student Athlete Awards Banquet, I went to the high school for the art show. Unfortunately, I did not have time to go home in between to get my kids so I texted my son to ask where his art work was displayed.
When I arrived, I found the first one but couldn't find the others. FaceTime to the rescue! I FaceTimed my son and he was able to show me where they were. We talked about his entries and the mediums he used to create them. He then "took "me down the hallway to show me the dragon. He told me to go further down the hall and around the corner to show me the submarine.
While I don't want to trade FaceTime for real one-on-one face time with my kids, virtual mom is a good substitute in a pinch.

Here's How Kang The Conqueror Means More Historical Marvel Movies
Here's How Kang The Conqueror Means More Historical Marvel Movies
October 6,2021
A number of historically-based Marvel movies, including one featuring Kang the Conquerer, might be set up if he shows up as the antagonist in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Kang is a persistent and complicated issue that the Avengers can never fully escape from in the comics. Thus his presence in Ant-Man 3 will very certainly be only the beginning of Kang's appearances in future Ant-Man films. Kang is widely considered as the only villain to have successfully defeated the Avengers in a single film. As a reason, the MCU needs several films to properly use him. That would open the door for future productions dealing with his goal of conquest across time since he would undoubtedly become a looming danger throughout at least one period.
The Unbeatable Kang
It's possible that Kang the Conqueror started as Nathaniel Richards in the 30th century of an alternate Earth, during a terrible and war-torn period. However, he later came upon a time machine and used it to explore other planets. As time has gone on, he's evolved into a more complex adversary, going across history to gather soldiers for his army, discover new scientific advancements, and basically, take over the globe. Kang is a formidable foe who has superhuman strength and cunning as a result of his time travel. The Avengers' situation is exacerbated further by the fact that he is almost unbeatable.
After being defeated or destroyed in one film, the character may reappear in another. It is possible for several versions of him to exist at the same time due to his tampering with time. He has also assumed and shed various other identities. These include Kid Immortus, the Scarlet Centurion, the Pharaoh Rama-Tut, and Iron Lad. He doesn't follow any rules when it comes to time travel and has a lot of run-ins with his own past, leading to all of these various outcomes and identities. Some of his many guises have him fighting on opposing sides in the same battle.
The Possibility of Kang Time Traveling
Kang, the MCU's most potent and elusive villain, has the potential to have a major impact in Phase 5. The fact that he will outlive even Thanos means that he opens up the MCU to the possibility of time travel. This will allow Marvel to explore historical undertakings in the future. There's no telling how long the Avengers will spend dealing with Kang's goal or its ramifications. Consequently, many actors may play him over the course of time due to his many disguises. In the next phase, which will undoubtedly center on Kang, he may serve as a catalyst for films and television series set in various historical periods.
Kang's Reason For Time Travel In The MCU
Kang is going to pose a lot of problems for the sorcerer supreme
Most probably, the time travel in Endgame will catch Kang's attention and lead to his quest to conquer history. When the Avengers messed with the past and created several realities, they may have opened a window of opportunity for Kang to step in and alter their timelines. Aside from that, they're time-traveling through the Quantum Realm. This Realm is presumably the MCU's take on Limbo, the alternate universe in which one of Kang's personas reigns.
The fact that Ant-Man and his friends are now spending more time in the Quantum Realm may put them in conflict with Kang. For all we know, the quantum tampering may have prevented Kang from encroaching on their timeline in the first place. Kang could easily become entangled in the past of any of the Avengers or Earth itself to take over or frustrate the heroes. Moreover, Kang may begin his mission because of another unresolved plot point in Endgame: Loki.
The Relevance of TVA
Time Variance Authority is an organization tasked with overseeing every possible reality. By working with the TVA, Loki might introduce Kang into the MCU during his forthcoming show. Loki may unintentionally draw Kang with his own incursions. He might also take action against the TVA at any point in time, depending on his mood. Kang is now restrained by TVA's might. However, if TVA's plan fails, Kang will have no one to turn to except the regular heroes to stop him. The next few releases will provide light on why Kang has taken so long to enter the picture. But once he does, expect him to stick around for a while, searching for new planets and new time periods in which to reign.
The Future of The New Time Periods
The multiverse as seen in Loki
Kang the Conqueror fits well in with Marvel's commitment to exploring different worlds and new time periods in future films. In the event that his quest takes him back into the past, the narrative will have to pick up where it left off. Despite the ongoing repercussions from Avengers: Endgame, Kang will be a major new issue for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Once Kang's fallout is dealt with, the following phase may focus on tracking him across dimensions and time periods to put an end to his schemes.
Kang's Mission Can Lead To MCU Movies In The Past
Kang has a boundless desire to conquer history. As a result, any time period that Marvel chooses to explore may become a part of his mission. It's possible that Marvel may make use of this chance to develop projects based on previously-mentioned but under-examined time periods. Heroic figures such as the Howling Commandos and Hank Pym's Ant-Man were left behind as narratives moved to the present. He might go into the pasts of legendary figures like Thor and Loki. Here, he could come up against anything like the latter's Viking heritage. Additionally, Marvel has many significant historical or alternative history stories in the comics that have yet to be adapted. Once Kang enters the MCU, the possibilities for historical projects are almost limitless; Ant-Man 3 is only the beginning.

No, hydrogen peroxide does not cause acid rain
Following the June 4 blast at the BM Container Depot in Sitakunda, Chittagong, that killed 49 people and injured 300 others, a message warning about possible acid rain is being widely shared on social media. Newschecker looked into the claim to analyse if there was a possibility of acid rain due to the blast and found no evidence to back up the viral claim.
According to the fire service chief Brigadier General Main Uddin, the B.M Container Depot in Sitakunda, stockpiled a chemical named hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on June 5.
The following day, two different Tiktok videos, quoting the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Director, warned users of the possibility of acid rain.
On running a CrowdTangle search for the keywords "there is a possibility of acid rain, DMP director" in Bangla, we found that the first post of the claim was made by Chittagong University News – From the Facebook page of Chittagong University News.
Most shared posts are from two pages: National University, and Creativeনির্বাহী ম্যাজিস্ট্রেট সারোয়ার আলম সমর্থকCreative jogot.
Youtube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQgURQjUJ7k&t=42s
What was behind the Sitakunda blast?
The reason for the blast is still unknown. According to a Prothom Alo report, the matter is CID is investigating, and have collected all kinds of samples from burnt ash to factory supplied water as evidence, and looking for the cause of the fire. The report also mentioned that CID is trying to figure out how things started, whether it is an accident or sabotage, they are working with the overall issue in mind.
To find out if the DMP did issue such a warning, Newschecker conducted a keyword search, but found no such report.s Further, Newschecker contacted DMP's media and public relations department, who revealed to Newschecker that, "There is no director's posting in the DMP, and no such instruction has been given by the DMP."
Newschecker further decided to find out if there was a possibility of acid rain due to the explosion.

What causes acid rain?
According to National Geographic, decaying vegetation and volcanic eruptions emit some chemicals that can cause acid rain, but most acid rain is man-made. When humans burn fossil fuels, sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released into the atmosphere. These pollutants react with water, oxygen, and other substances to form airborne sulfuric and nitric acids.
Does hydrogen peroxide cause acid rain?
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound. According to the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hydrogen peroxide is a colourless liquid in its pure state. But when heated, hydrogen peroxide acts as an explosive in thermal decomposition.
But what role does it have in causing acid rain? Not much, reveals Chemistry Professor of Dhaka University GM Golzar Hossain. Speaking to Newschecker, Hossain said, "Hydrogen peroxide is basically decomposed to form oxygen, and when decomposed, the oxygen mixes with the air. That is, it has no chance of merging with the clouds. Hydrogen peroxide does not cause acid rain. Even if there is no hydrogen peroxide (blast), there will be acid rain."
In an interview with NewsBangla, Mohammad Shah Alam, a former director of the Meteorological Department and a meteorologist, said: The colour of rainwater can be seen in red. This acid causes very little damage in the rain. And it is in the industrial area. Even if such acid rain falls in our country, it will not be due to the hydrogen peroxide in the Sitakunda container. That is a misconception."
Newschecker investigation has found that the recent Hydrogen peroxide explosion in Sitakunda cannot cause acid rain, and the claim of DMP director warning of acid rain is false.
Result: False
