We found out in a hurry after the hit films, Iron Man and Captain America: The First Avenger, that our brand new cinematic heroes were going to need a little help saving the world. That’s why fans were prepared when The Avengers took the world by storm! With a bevy of films under the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this group has become a fan favorite for those watching and wanting to pay homage to them by going in costume. When you can find a friend to go in a Hulk costume or Thor costume we think you’re going to find that your group has the chops to get the job done. And if you have a femme fatale to be the Black Widow? Well, then you’re going to be downright unstoppable in your Marvel costumes!
"Peter" emerged from one of the Jackal's pods. Believing himself to be the genuine Parker, he confronted Spider-Man, Ben Reilly, and Kaine. He became obsessed with proving to Mary Jane Watson that he was the real Peter and once Peter, Ben, Kaine and MJ were all near him at once the Jackal's programming kicked in and his shape shifting powers activated and he turned into a monster who was killed when Kaine threw a propane truck at him. Scrier would later resurrect him.
Quick background on me: I'm a leading admin on four different wikis (including Final Fantasy Wiki and Ratchet & Clank Wiki), and have been editing dozens of wikis for almost ten years now. As I'm a huge fan of Insomniac Games, and really excited for Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4, I decided to apply the skills I built over the years, along with my friend u/Jak_Himself (from the Jak and Daxter Wiki), to develop what will hopefully be the official wiki for the upcoming game!
Spider-Man was declared the number one superhero on Bravo's Ultimate Super Heroes, Vixens, and Villains TV series in 2005. Empire magazine placed him as the fifth-greatest comic book character of all time. Wizard magazine placed Spider-Man as the third greatest comic book character on their website. In 2011, Spider-Man placed third on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time, behind DC Comics characters Superman and Batman. and sixth in their 2012 list of "The Top 50 Avengers". In 2014, IGN identified Spider-Man the greatest Marvel Comics character of all time. A 2015 poll at Comic Book Resources named Spider-Man the greatest Marvel character of all time. IGN described him as the common everyman that represents many normal people but also noting his uniqueness compared to many top-tiered superheroes with his many depicted flaws as a superhero. IGN noted that despite being one of the most tragic superheroes of all time that he is "one of the most fun and snarky superheroes in existence." Empire noted and praised that despite the many tragedies that Spider-Man faces that he retains his sense of humour at all times with his witty wisecracks. The magazine website appraised the depiction of his "iconic" superhero poses describing it as "a top artist's dream".
Supported by a system similar to that of Tony Stark's classic Iron Man design, The Iron Spider armor features many gadgets, including four mechanical spider-arms, or "waldoes", that can be used to see around corners (via cameras in the tips) and to manipulate objects indirectly. Stark describes them as too delicate to use in combat, yet Spider-Man shortly afterward uses them to smash through the sensors in Titanium Man's helmet. Later on during the "Civil War" storyline, he uses them (reluctantly) during his fight with Captain America.

As in the previous game, the main characters are divided into two main, competing factions, and the New Kid is first lured into the conflict by Eric Cartman's faction - this time, the iconic Coon and Friends franchise. Over the course of story, they are forced to team up with Freedom Pals in order to save the town from a greater foe, as well as the dreaded Professor Chaos himself.
Elsewhere in Europe, mumming and hobby horses were part of other yearly festivals. However, in the Celtic-speaking regions they were "particularly appropriate to a night upon which supernatural beings were said to be abroad and could be imitated or warded off by human wanderers". From at least the 18th century, "imitating malignant spirits" led to playing pranks in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. Wearing costumes and playing pranks at Halloween spread to England in the 20th century. Traditionally, pranksters used hollowed out turnips or mangel wurzels often carved with grotesque faces as lanterns. By those who made them, the lanterns were variously said to represent the spirits, or were used to ward off evil spirits. They were common in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands in the 19th century, as well as in Somerset (see Punkie Night). In the 20th century they spread to other parts of England and became generally known as jack-o'-lanterns.
That isn’t to dismiss all complaints by Yale students. If contested claims that black students were turned away from a party due to their skin color are true, for example, that is outrageous. If any discrete group of students is ever discriminated against, or disproportionately victimized by campus crime, or graded more harshly by professors, then of course students should protest and remedies should be implemented.
Samhain/Calan Gaeaf marked the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the 'darker half' of the year. Like Beltane/Calan Mai, it was seen as a liminal time, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld thinned. This meant the Aos Sí (/iːsˈʃiː/ eess-SHEE), the 'spirits' or 'fairies', could more easily come into this world and were particularly active. Most scholars see the Aos Sí as "degraded versions of ancient gods [...] whose power remained active in the people's minds even after they had been officially replaced by later religious beliefs". The Aos Sí were both respected and feared, with individuals often invoking the protection of God when approaching their dwellings. At Samhain, it was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be propitiated to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter. Offerings of food and drink, or portions of the crops, were left outside for the Aos Sí. The souls of the dead were also said to revisit their homes seeking hospitality. Places were set at the dinner table and by the fire to welcome them. The belief that the souls of the dead return home on one night of the year and must be appeased seems to have ancient origins and is found in many cultures throughout the world. In 19th century Ireland, "candles would be lit and prayers formally offered for the souls of the dead. After this the eating, drinking, and games would begin".
It seemed that Spider-man was finally back on track, with his name cleared and his life finally looking a bit better than it had in recent months. Norman Osborn however kept being a disturbing presence to Peter and Mary Jane. He started a ritual known as the Gathering of the Five, with one person getting Ultimate power, one got death, one got insanity and so on. Norman thought he gained power, but it turned out that it was insanity that he got. He attacked and kidnapped Peter. While he was captive, Peter got the shock of a life-time. His aunt May was standing in front of him, alive and well. After Spider-man broke free and defeated Norman Osborn, seemingly for good, as he was taken to a mental hospital, Peter learned that it was in fact aunt May he found. Not a clone, not a hoax. Norman had apparently kidnapped May years ago, and had an actress surgically look like aunt May and play her part while she was dying. This was why 'aunt May' knew about Peter being Spider-Man, she was hired by Norman Osborn to play her! Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four assured Peter it was his aunt. Peter saw this as a sign and stopped being Spider-Man altogether, finally living a good life with his aunt May and his wife Mary-Jane.
Cartman's reference to not introducing solo films for "the black superhero" or "the chick", in "phase three", is a reference to the upcoming release of the 2018 film Black Panther by Marvel Studios, the first solo film about the titular black superhero, and the later 2019 release of Captain Marvel by the same studio, which will be Marvel Studios' first solo film with a female superheroine. They are considered part of Marvel's own third phase of films.
Spider-Man later tracked down and confronts Osborn, having dispatched all of his henchmen in turn. During their fight, it is revealed that Osborn is a former circus freak himself who hides his goblin-like visage behind one of the Chameleon’s masks. After Spider-Man refuses to kill Osborn, the spider-infested and barely still alive body of Kraven appears and attacks the Goblin, killing him.
Batman's utility belt is his most characteristic prop next to the Batarang, much like Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth, or Green Lantern's power ring. The exact contents of this belt are not known because Batman usually changes it to suit his needs. His uncanny ability to carry unusually appropriate tools is legendary. Batman's enemies are especially interested in the utility belt as they believe it will give them an advantage over him, but the belt's pockets are locked and only Batman knows how to open them. Occasionally, the utility belt is depicted as having defense mechanisms such as electric shock or stun gas in order to prevent tampering.
The most recent incident occurred over the weekend. During a conference on freedom of speech, Greg Lukianoff reportedly said, “Looking at the reaction to Erika Christakis’s email, you would have thought someone wiped out an entire Indian village.” An attendee posted that quote to Facebook. “The online Facebook post led a group of Native American women, other students of color and their supporters to protest the conference in an impromptu gathering outside of LC 102, where the Buckley event was taking place,” the Yale Daily News reported.

When Marvel approached Hasbro about the prospect of including Spider-Man in the third issue of the Generation 1 comic book, they initially turned the idea down, since Spider-Man was currently licensed to rival toy company Mattel for the Secret Wars toyline. Marvel convinced them to permit the appearance by putting Spidey in his black costume, whereas the Secret Wars toy was clad in his traditional red and blue, and therefore wouldn't be "advertised" by the comic. This meant adding a footnote to the story explaining that it took place prior to the recent issue of Spidey's own title in which he ditched the black threads upon finding out they were a symbiote.
I wonder, and I am not trying to be provocative: Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious... a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive? American universities were once a safe space not only for maturation but also for a certain regressive, or even transgressive, experience; increasingly, it seems, they have become places of censure and prohibition. And the censure and prohibition come from above, not from yourselves! Are we all okay with this transfer of power? Have we lost faith in young people's capacity—in your capacity to exercise selfcensure, through social norming, and also in your capacity to ignore or reject things that trouble you?

As with Spider-Man, the villains' powers originate with scientific accidents or the misuse of scientific technology and also tend to have animal-themed costumes or powers (Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Beetle, Lizard, Rhino, Scorpion, Jackal and Black Cat). There also are supervillains with the powers over the elements (Sandman, Shocker, Electro, Molten Man and Hydro-Man), some that are horror-themed (the Goblins, Morbius, Morlun, and the Symbiotes) some that are crime lords (Kingpin, Tinkerer, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Silvermane and Mister Negative), and some that are masters of trickery (Chameleon and Mysterio). These villains oftentimes form teams such as the Sinister Six to oppose the superhero.
Enter the archfiend Doc Ock, armed with a lethal invention powerful enough to destroy half the city. If Spider-Man tries to stop Doc Ock, he’ll be placing the lives of those closest to him in mortal danger. If he doesn’t, it could be the end of the Big Apple. With millions of lives hanging in the balance, high about Manhattan’s glittering skyline, Spider-Man confronts his destiny, his fiercest enemy, and himself.
The police, led by Jean DeWolff, arrive too late to save Spider-Man from a massive beating but in time to kill Sandman. The Crime Master escapes, but Spider-Man has managed to link him with TFONG. A severely injured Spider-Man goes to Felicia to recover. The following day she forces him to leave before the arrival of her other man — the unmasked Crime Master. Felicia questions him too much, and he determines that she has been seeing Spider-Man. In fury, he attacks her with a shard of mirror. He gets a call from the leader of TFONG, telling him to shut Ellis Island down before they all get caught. Spider-Man goes to Ellis Island himself and finds Robbie, but was too late as Octavius had already drilled into his frontal lobe, leaving him motionless.
^ Despite first appearing in Spider-Man comic books, the Kingpin is more notable of being a Daredevil adversary. The character that represents the opposite of what Daredevil stands for. Despite this he is a major antagonist of both superheroes in the Marvel comic books just as recurringly.

Church bells were run and fires lit to guide these souls on their way and deflect them from haunting honest Christian folk. Barns and homes were blessed to protect people and livestock from the effects of witches, who were believed to accompany the malignant spirits as they traveld the earth. Although a rare few continued to divine the future, cast spells, and tell ghost stories in rural communities, woe to anyone who was denounced to the church for engaging in such activities. These may seem like innocent fun today, but it was deadly serious stuff during the Middle Ages.
I’d venture that a “super hero” as opposed to an ordinary hero, is someone who essentially devotes their life to being a hero as their foundation. In this sense, I *would* consider quasi-mythological figures such as Zorro or Robin Hood to be effectively superheroes, though they lack a lot of the stereotypes we’ve come to associate with superheroes. (Or perhaps not… depending on how you look at it.)
A Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, began previews on November 14, 2010, at the Foxwoods Theatre on Broadway, with the official opening night on June 14, 2011.

Holland also reprises his role in the third Avengers film, Avengers: Infinity War, where he joins the heroes in the fight against Thanos. He is first seen in action leaving a school bus during a field trip when he sees Thanos' forces invading New York before proceeding to help Stark, Doctor Strange and Wong in fighting off Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw from kidnapping Strange. However, the Black Order succeeds in capturing Strange, leaving Parker and Stark to get inside the ship which the two Black Order members used to travel to Earth in order to rescue Strange. The two Avengers were able to send Maw into outer space and rescued Strange from being tortured when he refused to give up the Time Stone. The trio decide to head to Titan in order to deal with Thanos themselves only to meet Star-Lord, Mantis and Drax the Destroyer of the Guardians of the Galaxy who also went to Titan to fight Thanos and rescue Gamora. Thanos then arrives on Titan to attain the Time Stone from Strange which leads to him and the team having a fearsome battle and ends with Thanos being mentally incapacitated by Mantis while the others try to take off Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet from his hand. However, this plan fails after Quill attacks Thanos when he learns the former was responsible for Gamora's death which lets Thanos to break away from being mentally incapacitated.
Spider-Man has many abilities but the most amazing of all is his uncanny Spider-Sense. It is a tingling sensation on the back of his skull that acts as a "sixth sense" and it manifests when he is around or targeted by incoming dangers. It's a precognition ability that is pheromone based and is similar to Daredevil's radar sense, increasing his reaction time and awareness. The spider-sense can manifest when Peter's secret identity is about to be compromised. It also manifests when he encounters someone who might pose a threat to him or to someone he cares about. For example, when Peter saw his roommate Michele Gonzales with one of her clients, his spider-sense warned him that the client was actually a thug who was participating in a super-villain gladiatorial contest. While the spider-sense cannot discern the specific nature of the impending threat, he can identify which direction it is coming from and the severity of the danger by the intensity of the spider-sense. Sometimes it becomes strong enough to be painful. When Spider-Man is blinded, the Spider-Sense works as another set of eyes to avoid bumping into objects. When Daken used his pheromones on Spider-Man, Peter closed his eyes and relied only on his spider-sense to defeat his foe because the pheromones corrupted his sight. A similar situation happened when Peter fought the new Vulture who blinded him with acid in the eyes. Spider-Man relied on this ability to survive this fight. Of course his Spider-Sense is a great help when he faces people in the dark. This has been proven in his fight with Iron Fist. The spider-sense can lose its effectiveness when Peter is too distracted, tired or when he chooses to ignore it although its difficult to do so because it is heavily linked to his reflexes. There were also times that his spider-sense wasn't very effective due to the Spidey's previous lack of formal training, but this has since has been largely rectified since learning the Way of the Spider. Under extreme circumstances, such as fighting in the dark or against powerful characters, Spidey has often used his spectacular spider-sense in a more effective and better way. The Spider-Sense also gave him his own free-style form of combat, allowing him to go head-to-head with the best martial artists in the Marvel Universe and his H2H skill has improved significantly since merging his Way of the Spider training with his Spider-Sense. Furthermore, the Spider-Sense also allows Spider-Man to detect certain radio frequencies on which his spider tracers' signals are based upon. During Spider-Man's first encounter with the Chameleon, the villain used a certain radio frequency to send a message to Spider-Man via his spider-sense. The Spider-Sense, combined with his speed and reflexes allows Spider-Man to dodge almost all conventional attacks. Due to the similar nature of their powers, Spider-Man is unable to sense other "Spiders", such as Ben Reilly, Ezekiel, and Kaine. During the Big Time story, Spider-Man used a device to block Alistair Smythe's minions' enhanced senses, but also disabled his own Spider-Sense. After the events of Spider-Island, Peter regained this ability.
The sonar lenses in the first sequel remain the only attempt to add somewhat white lenses to the standard cowl in the live-action movies. A very similar sonar lenses idea was used at the end of Batman Forever, although with a very different look to the lenses. The sonar batsuit worn by Val Kilmer was also used to screentest actors like Cillian Murphy for the first movie. Ben Affleck's power armor in Batman v Superman also had glowing whiteish-blue lcd light eyes.
Some Christians feel concerned about the modern celebration of Halloween because they feel it trivializes – or celebrates – paganism, the occult, or other practices and cultural phenomena deemed incompatible with their beliefs. Father Gabriele Amorth, an exorcist in Rome, has said, "if English and American children like to dress up as witches and devils on one night of the year that is not a problem. If it is just a game, there is no harm in that." In more recent years, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has organized a "Saint Fest" on Halloween. Similarly, many contemporary Protestant churches view Halloween as a fun event for children, holding events in their churches where children and their parents can dress up, play games, and get candy for free. To these Christians, Halloween holds no threat to the spiritual lives of children: being taught about death and mortality, and the ways of the Celtic ancestors actually being a valuable life lesson and a part of many of their parishioners' heritage. Christian minister Sam Portaro wrote that Halloween is about using "humor and ridicule to confront the power of death".

The United Kingdom based Panini Comics publication Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures was loosely based on the continuity of the 1990s animated series. In the series Peter Parker deals with the day-to-day headaches of balancing a social life with his super-heroics. He has a close circle of friends such as Liz Allen, Harry Osborn, and Flash Thompson, and he is involved in a relationship with Mary Jane. However, in this continuity, Mary Jane does not possess an existing knowledge of his dual identity, and thus Peter finds juggling his life with her and his crime-fighting career difficult. Despite this, Mary Jane loyally supports Peter, believing it is his dangerous job as a photographer that keeps him away from dates and other activities. A look into the future reveals Peter and MJ ultimately get married in this continuity, and have a daughter, May, who is active as Spider-Girl. At some point in this future, Peter loses his leg, which forces him to retire as Spider-Man.
The white areas in Spider-Mans eye cut-outs on his mask are really clever plastic lenses of the two-way mirror type. He can see out very clearly, but no one can see in. Therefore, he can never be recognized by the color of his eyes. These ingenious plastic lenses also protect his eyes from dust, dirt, and the glare of the sun. Spider-Man's colorful head-mask conceals his facial features and expressions and also effectively muffles his voice, making it unrecognizable. When using the Iron Spider-Man suit, it changed his voice in many ways. When Spider-Man became an Avenger, a special comm-link was outfitted into his mask allowing him to communicate with his fellow Avengers as well as others.

Versions of all three appear in Spider-Verse where John is the only one that isn't killed by the Inheritors.

In the recent Spider-Girl storyline "Brand New May", Peter has uncovered a lab, within it is a stasis tank containing an exact physical symbiote duplicate of Mayday Parker, with notes left behind by Norman Osborn suggesting she is the real Mayday, and not a clone.

He ultimately overcomes an attempt by Norman Osborn to control his mind and defeats him with the aid of his daughter, her clone, and the spirit of his Aunt May.
By the end of the 12th century they had become holy days of obligation across Europe and involved such traditions as ringing church bells for the souls in purgatory. In addition, "it was customary for criers dressed in black to parade the streets, ringing a bell of mournful sound and calling on all good Christians to remember the poor souls." "Souling", the custom of baking and sharing soul cakes for all christened souls, has been suggested as the origin of trick-or-treating. The custom dates back at least as far as the 15th century and was found in parts of England, Flanders, Germany and Austria. Groups of poor people, often children, would go door-to-door during Allhallowtide, collecting soul cakes, in exchange for praying for the dead, especially the souls of the givers' friends and relatives. Soul cakes would also be offered for the souls themselves to eat, or the 'soulers' would act as their representatives. As with the Lenten tradition of hot cross buns, Allhallowtide soul cakes were often marked with a cross, indicating that they were baked as alms. Shakespeare mentions souling in his comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona (1593). On the custom of wearing costumes, Christian minister Prince Sorie Conteh wrote: "It was traditionally believed that the souls of the departed wandered the earth until All Saints' Day, and All Hallows' Eve provided one last chance for the dead to gain vengeance on their enemies before moving to the next world. In order to avoid being recognized by any soul that might be seeking such vengeance, people would don masks or costumes to disguise their identities".

Hyderabad will be ragging-free, vows Police Commissioner
There will be no ragging cases this year, last year merely two ragging cases were reported in the city, said Commissioner of Police Anjani Kumar while addressing the college university and institutions management authorities In an antiragging awareness programme conducted at Police Commissioners office at Basheerbagh on Wednesday
Basheerbagh: “There will be no ragging cases this year, last year merely two ragging cases were reported in the city,” said Commissioner of Police Anjani Kumar while addressing the college university and institution’s management authorities. In an anti-ragging awareness programme conducted at Police Commissioner’s office at Basheerbagh on Wednesday.
The Commissioner stressed for the need of anti-ragging cell in colleges and institutions and advised the authorities to spread awareness through posters banners and make it mandatory in collage prospectus. Anjani said, “Strict action will be taken for prohibition of ragging act 1997.” Deputy secretary of University Grants Commission (UGC), R Manoj Kumar listed out set of rules constituted by the Supreme Court and the revelations by UGC. And declared that the new anti-ragging helpline number was in working condition and the number 18000-180-5522 could be reached 24x7 by the students.
Professor B Rajendra Naik from Osmania University said, “Osmania University has an anti-ragging committee department at college and university levels to ensure safety of students. However, four major incidents have been reported so far this year which were addressed and counselled in the campus.”
“Ragging is now replaced by nagging, ragging was meant to break ice between the students which was misused in the past few decades and has turned into a criminal offence now. There is a severe need of anti-ragging committees and counselling professionals in collages and institutions which has to be fulfilled at any cost,” said Additional commissioner of police D S Chauhan.
Shikha Goel, Additional commissioner of police, said, “One of the major issues that restricts students from complaining is hesitation, most of the ragging issues stay grounded. To avoid such circumstances colleges have to install anti-ragging committees, and police department will ensure safety by monitoring near college areas and through 2 lakh CCTV’s installed across the city.” The event was organised by She teams Hyderabad.

After his spectacular cameo against Napoli in midweek, most Juventus fans were hoping to see Paulo Dybala starting the match against Genoa on Sunday afternoon.
Nonetheless, coach Andrea Pirlo has all but ruled out this possibility during his pre-match press conference on Saturday.
The young manager believes that the returning Argentine needs to be slowly reintegrated into the squad, rather than being risked from the get-go.
The former Milan midfielder also emphasized on the importance of maintaining the form his side showed against Gennaro Gattuso’s men on Wednesday.
“It’s perhaps much easier to find the right spirit in a big match like Napoli, but we need the same attitude even against smaller clubs, starting from tomorrow,” said Pirlo during his customary press conference.
“We need to find some consistency and that means facing tomorrow’s game with ferocity. Beating Napoli is meaningless unless we follow it up with the same performance against Genoa.”
The tactician opted to field Gianluigi Buffon in the starting lineup in midweek, but confirmed that Szczesny will return to the pitch.
“I can confirm Wojciech Szczesny will start tomorrow. I don’t think Paulo Dybala will start, because he was out for three months, so he needs another slightly longer spell as a substitute first.”
“I’ve always said Dybala is an important player and unfortunately I haven’t had him at my disposal very much this season. Let’s look at the present, because that is more important than the future.
“He still has a year left on his contract, so we will have him here next season. Dybala is a player who makes the difference. I do hope to be able to use Cristiano Ronaldo, Alvaro Morata and Dybala together at some point. I can say it’s probable Dejan Kulusevski will start tomorrow.”
Pirlo only had words of praise for Federico Chiesa who has been one of the main stars of the current campaign.
“Chiesa is excellent in one-on-one situations, but he can still improve in situations and controlling the tempo. He is hungry and eager to learn, which is wonderful to know.” Concluded the manager.
Juventus have beaten Genoa earlier in the league this season in a 3-1 result, while also knocking the Grifone out of the Coppa Italia in the round of 16 with a 3-2 victory after extra-time.

Welcome to warditv team league season 8!
The WardiTV Team League is a long running team league, formerly known as the SC2Improve Team League, that was first created in late 2012. Entering our 8th season we are looking to revitalize the competition following what we felt was a very weak Season 7. We want to reinvent the league - taking what didn't work from Season 7 and get rid of it while bringing more of what viewers, players and teams loved.
WardiTV Team League Season 8 will be split into two divisions: our title competition being the main event for ten of the best teams in StarCraft 2 as well as the WardiTV Team League S8 Open which will be home to all other teams wishing to compete. Both divisions will run a separate format to what we have ran in the past, staying true to the idea of removing what didn't work and doing more of what does.
Our goal is to provide a high quality team league from all angles. This is the first season where we have a dedicated team working on the team league, from producing content through to ensuring the league runs smoothly. We want players and teams of any skill level to be able to participate in a friendly and competitive environment which promotes bring people in StarCraft 2 to learn together and enjoy the greatest game in the word.
Registration for Season 8 is open today. Further information on rules, dates and format can be found on the information page.
Our new format: a quick rundown
For Season 8 we are making many changes to the format of the WardiTV Team League and we wanted to bring you a quick rundown of how the new season is going to look and what you can look forward to. The season will be split into a pre-season, main season and post-season.
In the pre-season, teams will be able to qualify for the event (for the WTL S8 Open, there is no pre-season). To make up the ten teams we will have four invited teams from the previous season, four teams advancing through qualifiers and two more teams invited after the qualifiers have concluded.
The main section of the season is split into two rounds. In Round 1 teams will be split into two round robin groups of five, where each team will play each other team in their group in a BO7 all-kill match. Top three teams of each group will advance to Round 2, with the bottom two teams of each group being eliminated. Round 2 will see the remaining six teams in a single round-robin group playing each other team in a BO5 proleague format match. Top four teams advance to the playoffs, with the bottom two teams being eliminated.
Post-season is about playoffs and keeping your slot in the league for Season 9. The top four teams are seeded into the playoffs based on their performances in Round 2 and will play in a gauntlet style set of matches : 4th vs 3rd, winner vs 2nd and winner vs 1st in the Grand Finals. These top four teams are guaranteed a space in Season 9. Two more spaces for Season 9 will be allocated to teams who finished 5th-8th in Season 8, as they play through their own bracket to determine who grabs the spaces. Any teams who fail to qualify for Season 9 in these 6 slots will have to attend open qualifiers in the pre-season of Season 9.

The Enigma of the Hyksos Volume IV
Changing Clusters and Migration in the Near Eastern Bronze Age. Collected Papers of a Workshop held in Vienna 4th−6th of December 2019
more titles of the subject:
The volume comprises the collected papers of a workshop titled ‘Changing Clusters and Migration in the Near Eastern Bronze Age’ (Vienna, December 2019), organised by the ERC Advanced Grant ‘The Enigma of the Hyksos’.
During the second half of the 12th Dynasty, Egypt confronted an influx of foreigners settling in the Eastern Nile Delta. Potentially linked to this migration was the subsequent ad interim rule of two foreign dynasties (14th and 15th Dynasties) over Northern Egypt. Information about the exact origin of the Near Easterners responsible for the rise of Hyksos rule is sparse and several questions regarding the Hyksos and their predecessors still require further investigation, including: their exact geographical origin, the degree of their cultural and ethnic homogeneity, the reasons for their migration to Egypt, the means by which they assumed political control and the extent to which they maintained ties to their places of origin.
For these questions to be explored, several multi-disciplinary analyses ensued from various contexts across Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Egypt prior to and during the so-called Hyksos Period. These include material cultural analyses, anthropological, cultural interference and migration studies, the analysis of settlement patterns and architecture, new onomastic studies, a new historiographical approach, and bioarchaeological analyses of physical remains. The variety of material now available, and so far, largely neglected in the scientific discussion, can finally be utilised as first rate historical resources.

Newcastle United are closing the net on their search for a manager. The Athletic understands the new owners have settled on two candidates — Unai Emery or Eddie Howe.
Emery, who won the Europa League with Villarreal last season and had a taste of the Premier League with Arsenal, is the preferred candidate as it stands, with former Bournemouth manager Howe the alternative.
To hire Emery, Newcastle would have to pay Villarreal a little over £5 million in compensation and convince him to leave behind Champions League football. Howe, as a free agent, would likely be cheaper and more straightforward to entice.
But with Newcastle fighting against relegation, who would do a better job as Steve Bruce’s successor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Several students and faculty members from both IU and Taylor University gathered Wednesday morning in Dunn Meadow for a high altitude weather balloon launch.
Wind, pressure, and temperature are just a few things this balloon will be able to detect once launched in the air. Researchers will be able to gather “near space” activity, due to the high altitude in which this balloon can reach.
One of those researchers is Taylor University Professor Hank Voss. He said this morning’s unexpected snow, may make for a more interesting launch.
“Overall,” he said, “I think this will be a really interesting data set as we go through the clouds and watch the different temperatures, pressures, and so forth and then we get above the clouds we’ll be bright sun light and then we’ll get ultraviolet light and all the other measurements as we go up.”
Voss said the balloon has the ability to detect radiation.
“We have the sensitivity,” he said, “to see the cosmic rays coming…upper atmosphere.”
IU student Katie McMahon is excited about her first weather balloon launch.
“Right now we’re just watching,” she said, “later on we’ll get to see what happened with it.”
According to Voss, data from the launch will be retrieved though an instrument regardless if the balloon returns or not.


I'm new to lever guns, and got this 464 a couple of weeks ago. It was a used gun, though I don't know how much use it really saw. Owner said he didn't fire it much and it was collecting dust so he decided to sell it. The action seemed a little stiff to me, but I have no point of comparison. I worked it for awhile (200-300 times? Wasn't really counting...) and that seems to have helped quite a bit. I also cleaned and lubricated it lightly. Going by how stiff it was initially vs now, I'm guessing the guy was being straight with me about having not used it much. The bore was clean and bright, but I don't think he did much to clean the rest of it. Just eyeballing the sights, they looked like they were way off to the left... and I was right. My son and I were shooting little targets we printed out at 25 yards. It was cold and very windy (gusting to 25 or better), but the wind was at least coming straight from behind us. Even resting on the bench though, it was hard to stay steady. We didn't have any sandbags or anything. My son had brought his new air gun, which he's very proud of, and was having better luck hitting his targets than I was. At 25 yards, I was hitting 6-8" left of center and about 3"-4" high. I couldn't get the sights to budge in the dovetail and had the sight adjusted as far right as it would go. When we got home, I put a piece of leather between the barrel and the sight, then put a punch on the sight body (the spring part) and tapped it with a small hammer a few times. Eyeballing it now, it seems to line up with the barrel pretty well. I'm wondering if the previous owner had taken the sight off, and put it back on when he went to sell it? No way to know. My old eyes (I'm 53) with my contacts and the factory sights don't get along too well. I'd like to get the iron sights set so that I can hit, say, a barn at 50 yards, but I'm not going to mess with them too much beyond that. I have a scope I bought when I got the gun, but hadn't gotten around to getting the bases yet. Have to order those today. The scope is an Osprey 2-7x32 Scout/Pistol scope. Seems pretty nice for the money, we'll see how it does once I get it in place.

I think that too sometimes, then I think the longer you survive the longer you're likely to survive... It's like fighter pilots in WW2. As Germany or Japan were throwing men into the air quickly their rates of survival plummeted (poor choice of words?) with their lack of experience. Even inferior planes could outperform the Zero because the man at the stick was seasoned while the Japanese pilot was young and made costly mistakes.
I think similar things would happen with the group here where say Glenn "grew some hair on his balls" after that winter out in the wild, and is a more seasoned killer/survivor... Some people have obvious handicaps to that, like someone missing a limb, or they've been relatively protected from the dirty work (beth), so they still would possibly make worse decisions or are forced into bad situations. People like Rick, or Glenn, or Tyrese could really survive a LONG time though just based on their experiences I'd think. I'd find it believable anyway.
They're gonna need more fodder here.

For many years, academics have been learning online dating. For instance , the French Start for Demographic Studies in Paris done research upon dating platforms intended for 13 years. They interviewed users, pioneers, and analysts, and obtained access to anonymised user data. The result is an intriguing study that may provide us with useful insight into how people use online dating services. The data shown in the research were essentially positive, and can help us make abreast decisions about each of our online relationships.
These types of research, however , identify some of the undesirable aspects of internet dating. These include the impact on the depths of the mind and the public of online dating. New research found a keyword rich link between demanding the stigma of internet dating and bigger scores about tests gauging mobile phone dependency. Despite it is potential benefits, online dating may have negative effects even on well-intentioned people. Listed here are some of the content articles related to the subject.

All the “shopping mindset. ” Too much choice ends up in confusion and demotivation.

However , don’t forget that the concept of online dating is certainly simply as good as it is methods. This is often a great place to meet someone, but it should be with a plan for methods to meet them in actual life.
Insufficient intimacy and public connection. Internet dating is not an option for many who can’t acquire out and interact with strangers on a daily basis. Besides, it’s better to make contacts with people through smart phones and social networks. Actually people who are certainly not interested in long-term relationships can easily interact with their online matches, albeit without formal benefits. That is definitely another big reason why offline dating is greater than online dating.

After a spectacular victory in the UCI Road World Championship’ elite men’s race, Alejandro Valverde will now have an entire street in Murcia named after him.
On Monday it was revealed that a man road running from northeast into the city has been named Alejandro Valverde – after the Murcia
It was announced on Monday that the Avenida de Alicante – the main road running into the city from the northeast – will be renamed the Avenida Alejandro Valverde.
— UCI (@UCI_cycling) October 21, 2018
As luck would have it, the new road intersects with Avenida Miguel Indurain, another iconic landmark in Spanish cycling history named after the five-time Tour de France winner Indurain, who unlike Valverde, wasn’t a native Murcian.
A World Road title
After trying to win the world road race for over 15 years, the 38-year-old finally claimed a World road race title earlier in Innsbruck.
The Spaniard stood on the top step after visiting the World Championship podium seven times. He was also the first from his country to claim the winning title ever since Oscar Freire’s victory in 2004.
The cycling star was given a warm welcome into the city by his fans earlier this month, as he drove through the streets with hundreds of cyclists and fans riding behind him.

Vampire Weekend Confirm Third Album Release Date
Vampire Weekend have announced a May 7 release date for their as-yet-untitled third album. The date was confirmed Tuesday (Jan. 22) with a post on the splash page of the band's official website, which includes the cryptic letters "MVOTO" in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Is that some sort of reference to the disc's title? Obviously, we don't yet know, but it probably won't be long before more details are out there.
VW recently confirmed that they had finally finished recording the disc, which included sessions with producer Ariel Rechtshaid in Los Angeles. Frontman Eza Koenig admitted that it wasn't exactly smooth sailing -- and never is for the band. “Making every record is a process full of tough times,” Koenig told NME.com. “Invariably that’s how it is for us."

Project Description Wind Bridge is a system of integrated metal panels along the pedestrian bridge connecting a new busway station to Union Station and Patsaouras Transit Plaza. California artist Ned Kahn’s design for the 750- foot-long Wind Bridge utilizes hinged perforated stainless-steel panels that move with the wind and reveal a subtle, rippling moire effect of light and shade. Lighting at night reveals patterns as silhouettes against illuminated surfaces inside the bridge. This artwork presents an opportunity for close and repeat viewing that changes day-by-day. Kahn is internationally known for artworks that reveal environmental forces like wind by converting natural flow patterns into pixelated motion. He calls these artworks “detectors” because they are analogous to the detectors on telescopes and other scientific devices that reveal the effects of the invisible. This video offers an experiential view of the artwork alongside a description in the words of artist Ned Kahn. Artist Statement “For the last 25 years, I have created artworks that seek to increase awareness of natural phenomena. Using elements such as water, wind, fog and light, I …
Jim Isermann’s Untitled (Tilford’s) (2006) reimagined the facade of Metro’s former Wilshire Customer Center. The artwork transformed the existing 1950s building into a dynamic, eye-catching landmark.
This site-specific project will consist of hundreds of small, metal, multicolored components that will be woven, cross stitch-like, into the building’s façade, creating a complex, abstracted landscape that will colorfully weave its way around part of the building.
Thinking metaphorically about the internal workings of the Metro system as a “well oiled machine,” the artist introduces shapes for train, bus and bicycle wheels and power gears all fluidly interconnected with a belt running throughout the floor design.
Metro’s newly-opened Patsaouras Plaza Busway Station is on the south side of Patsaouras Plaza at Union Station and serves the Metro J Line (Silver) and other transit buses operating on the El Monte Busway Line. Commissioned artist Ned Kahn designed Wind Bridge, a new artwork that is a system of integrated metal panels along the pedestrian bridge leading to the new station.
Overlooking the main entry lobby to the Metro facility, the brightly hued artwork comments upon the San Gabriel Valley.
Field of Poppies by Christie Beniston integrates a lace-like pattern of poppies into a 96-foot section of the steel mesh perimeter fence at Metro’s operations and maintenance facility in Monrovia.
At the corner of Cesar E. Chavez Avenue and Vignes Street, Christine Ulke’s artwork for the exterior of the Division 13 Bus Maintenance and Operations Facility in downtown Los Angeles commemorates an iconic sycamore tree that stood for approximately 400 years three blocks south of the building site.
Metro is designing and building the new Metro Center Project, a facility on Metro-owned property close to the DTLA Arts District. Artist Jacob Hashimoto was selected to develop a site-specific, integrated artwork for the public-facing exterior of this facility.

Netflix will be making reality shows, and you know they’re going to be good
From Orange is the New Black to Stranger Things to The Get Down, Netflix is behind some of our favorite television shows, movies and documentaries. But until now, one genre has been unexplored: reality shows, which are finally coming to Netflix. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this will be changing and soon. Netflix will be making competitive reality shows and docu-soaps, and talk shows, and by the end of 2017, the number of these original unscripted series will be in the double digits.
The reason that Netflix is able to pretty much do whatever they want is because they don’t have to answer to a network. This means that instead of having to make a pilot, wait for review, approval and input and then make a full series, Netflix offers straight-to-series orders. This also means they’re more flexible with how they get money to fund the shows. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that lower quality series will be running from $400,000 to $550,000 an episode. Higher quality programs will run at $1,000,000 and over per episode.
And although we don’t know what their unscripted series will be about, if it’s Netflix producing it, we can rest assured it will be something that leaves us wanting more.

Is there anything cuter than a baby in a baby bear hat? I love how adorable these hats are, especially considering how quick they are to make. This is an easy project so will be perfect for a beginner. The pattern can be used to make a basic beanie aswell, but the bear ears really make the hat for me, so I add them on as many things as possible.
To make your own baby bear hat, you will need a 6mm crochet hook, double knit yarn, a tape measure, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle.
This pattern is for a hat to fit a newborn, with a head circumference of up to 14.5″. At the end of round 3, the hat should measure approximately 4″ in diameter. Please bear in mind that I crochet quite tightly, so you may need to change your hook size to get the right diameter. Use whichever hook you need to get the correct hat size. When you have finished your hat, the length should be around 5.25”. You can add or remove length rows as needed, to get the right size.
Baby Bear Hat (Free Crochet Pattern)
With a 6mm crochet hook and two strands of double knit yarn held together –
1. make a magic loop, ch2, work 12dcs in loop, join with slst in top of 1st dc, pull centre yarn tail tight to close magic loop (12)
2. (inc row) ch2, turn, work 2dcs in st at base of ch and each st around, join with slst in top of 1st dc (24)
3. (inc row) ch2, turn, work 2dcs in st at base of ch, dc in next st, *2dcs in next st, dc in next st*, repeat from – around, join with slst in top of 1st dc (36)
4-8. ch2, turn, work dc in st at base of ch and in each st around, join with slst in top of 1st dc (36)
9. ch1, turn, fpdc around 1st st of previous row, *bpdc around next st of previous row, fpdc around next st of previous row*, repeat from *-* around to end, join with slst in top of 1st fpdc
10. bind off and weave in ends
11. make a magic loop, ch2, work 6dcs in loop, pull centre yarn tail tight to close magic loop (6)
12. ch1, work 2scs in each st across, bind off, leaving a long tail to attach ear to hat (12)
13-14. repeat rows 11-12
15. use the long tail left on the ears to attach them to the hat, I like to attach the ears between the 2nd and 4th rows on the hat
I hope you have enjoyed this free baby bear hat crochet pattern. If you make one, please let me know so I can see your amazing work. You can tag me on social media (@adeleuyancrochet) or why not join our Facebook group to show off your creations.

Why do we have a tendency to do that? Put up our guards and become overly protective of our hearts the way that we do?
Honestly, after all the crazy BS that some women go through with men that they are involved with, who can really blame them for putting their guards up? And when you are talking about a female who has repeatedly gotten her heart broken by not one, but a string of different men in her lifetime, it’s especially hard for her to re-develop that sense of trust that she once had before in men, if she ever does.
As we feel for the sister who is struggling with this at this very moment, what about the brother who is next in line to come her way? Thanks to the asshole that came before him, the task of getting to know her and coming close to her heart has become just that much harder to do. But what happens though when it gets to the point where every man that even acts like he is making his way in your direction is harshly rejected without being given a mere ounce of a chance? This is the point in time when holding up your guard can become a problem.
Having your guard up too strong will not only keep the bad men away. But it will push the good ones right out the door along with them.
I think we can all safely say without getting a verbal confirmation from our male counterparts, that men don’t like dealing with women who have excess baggage. Bag ladies are probably number one, or at least come in a close second when it comes to women on their lists to stand clear of when it comes to dating. Nor do they take kindly to the self proclaimed ice queens either. What man is going to waste his time going after a woman who openly admits she has no heart or feelings whatsoever? Men like to chase us now, but they don’t like to make themselves look like complete fools in the process.
As much as we hold on tight to our guards, they can be the very things that keep us from finding true love. And yes, true love does really exist. It’s not something that some random person made up. No, you shouldn’t become naïve and think that no man can do wrong and is incapable of mistreating you. Everybody, man or woman, should protect their hearts to a certain extent. But becoming an ice queen and throwing the towel in on finding your soul mate will get you nowhere fast. And will probably have you living the single life for much longer than you would like to be.
So ease up on that choke hold that you have on your heart. And keep in mind that not every man that steps to you is on a mission to break it.

by Jordan Tannahill
In Liminal, the health of Jordan Tannahill’s mother, Monica, has been in a bit of decline. She’s just started going on the mend after having a mini-stroke, but she hasn’t felt great recently. After she doesn’t emerge from her bedroom long after she normally would in the morning, Jordan investigates. Seeing his mother lying there, he realizes that he can’t immediately tell if she’s asleep or dead, and this triggers a sort of existential panic and flood of memories in our narrator.
The word liminal refers to a transition, being between two states or even occupying a place on both sides of a boundary, and this concept constitutes most of the musings that make up the novel. Jordan, the narrator––and, presumably, Tannahill, the author––has a fixation on mortality and tries to come to terms with his understanding of the point where death occurs and what happens to the person at that moment. Does he cease to be? Does something within him linger? Is the person only the biological self, or is there more––a soul? The main issue I had when Tannahill started waxing philosophic was this notion that this was less an exercise to come to terms with his place in the world, and more to convince himself and others of his intellectual worth, of his value.
But then we move into memory. As Liminal progresses, Jordan remembers plowing recklessly through life, and this starts to frame not only the strains his relationship with his mother was exposed to over the years, but also how his insecurities and uncertainty in life kept him bouncing between happiness and self-destruction. This is where we find the meat of the book’s emotion, humanity layered with the grotesque, and also where the relationship between author and narrator became hazy to me. As the clear shape of Jordan the narrator began forming, of a young man with something to prove––to himself, to the world, to his mother––I began to consider that that which previously irked me for its pretentiousness makes sense in the context of the character.
I think it will be difficult for my opinion of Liminal to reach anything concrete without coming to terms with the idea of whether the voice belongs to the author or the narrator, which will influence what I think Liminal actually is. Is it the truthful musings of an author framing passionate portrayals of life and relationships? Or is it a more standard narrative, where these musings are closer to a tool used for better characterization of the narrator? Maybe this haziness was part of the intention, though I doubt I’ll be able to come to a better understanding of it without at least a re-reading.

Miocene Larger Benthic Foraminifera from the Kalumpang Formation in Tawau, Sabah
(Foraminifera Bentos Besar Berusia Miosen dari Formasi Kalumpang di Tawau, Sabah)
JUNAIDI ASIS* & BASIR JASIN
Miocene larger benthic foraminifera have been discovered from a limestone unit of the Kalumpang Formation. The limestone is exposed at the Teck Guan Quarry, Tawau, southeast Sabah. The Kalumpang Formation consists predominantly of interbedded mudstone and sandstone (graywacke), conglomerate, limestone, marl, chert and volcanic rocks. Five limestone samples have been collected and processed for petrographic analysis and identification of larger benthic foraminifera. The limestone is classified as packstone and mudstone. A total of seventeen species of larger benthic foraminifera have been identified. The foraminifera are divided into two assemblages namely Assemblage I and Assemblage II. Assemblage I is characterized by the presence of Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) parva, Operculina sp. and Lepidocyclina (Eulepidina) formosa. This assemblage is an indicative of Aquitanian to Burdigalian in age (Early Miocene). Assembalge II comprises of Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) sumatrensis, Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) angulosa, Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) ferreroi Lepidocyclina sp., Miogypsina sp., Katacycloclypeus annulatus, Katacyloclypeus martini, Cycloclypeus carpenteri, Cycloclypeus indopacificus, Cycloclypeus sp., Flosculinella bontangensis, Operculina complanata, Amphistegina bowdenensis and Amphistegina sp. This assemblage is an indicative of Langhian to Serravallian age (Middle Miocene). The foraminiferal assemblages suggest that the depositional environment was a warm tropical shallow-marine at the fore-reef shelf zone.

Foraminifera bentos besar berusia Miosen telah ditemui daripada unit batu kapur Formasi Kalumpang. Batu kapur tersebut terdedah di Kuari Tech Guan, Tawau, tenggara Sabah. Formasi Kalumpang ini terdiri daripada selang-lapis batu lumpur dan batu pasir (greiwak), konglomerat, batu kapur, marmar, rijang dan batuan volkano. Lima sampel batu kapur telah diambil dan diproses untuk analisis petrografi dan pengenalpastian foraminifera bentos besar. Sebanyak tujuh belas spesies foraminifera bentos besar telah dikenal pasti. Foraminifera dibahagikan kepada dua himpunan iaitu Himpunan I dan Himpunan II. Himpunan I dicirikan oleh kehadiran Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) parva, Operculina sp. dan Lepidocyclina (Eulepidina) formosa. Himpunan ini menunjukkan usia Aquitanian hingga Burdigalian (Miosen Awal). Himpunan II terdiri daripada Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) sumatrensis, Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) angulosa, Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) ferreroi Lepidocyclina sp., Miogypsina sp., Katacycloclypeus annulatus, Katacyloclypeus martini, Cycloclypeus carpenteri, Cycloclypeus indopacificus, Cycloclypeus sp., Flosculinella bontangensis, Operculina complanata, Amphistegina bowdenensis dan Amphistegina sp. Himpunan ini menunjukkan usia Langhian hingga Serravallian (Miosen Tengah). Himpunan foraminifera ini membuktikan bahawa sekitaran pengendapannya adalah pada sekitaran laut cetek kawasan tropika di zon pelantar depan terumbu.

The Kalumpang Formation was first introduced by Kirk (1962) and consists predominantly of interbedded mudstone and sandstone (graywacke), conglomerate, limestone, marl, chert and volcanic rocks. The formation is located at Upper Sungai Kalumpang, Binuang Valley, Sebatik Island and Semporna Peninsular, southeast Sabah. The formation is divided into 4 rock units namely Sebatik Sandstone-Shale Member, Sipit Limestone Member, Sandstone Chert Facies and Volcanic Facies (Kirk 1962). The Sipit Limestone Member forms four small isolated
hills on the north coast of Semporna Peninsular. The limestone forms seven small N-S trending hills at km 50 from Tawau along the Kunak Road (Lim 1981). Recently, we discovered well-preserved Miocene larger benthic foraminifera from the Sipit Limestone Member of the Kalumpang Formation. The outcrop is exposed at the Teck Guan Quarry along the Kunak-Tawau road. It overlies tuff and contains coral, algae, echinoids and foraminifera. This limestone is generally massive consisting of grey color and white spot of larger benthic foraminifera. The objective of this research was to identify
larger benthic foraminiferal species and their significance in determination of age and depositional environments.
Kirk (1962) suggested that the age of the Kalumpang Formation range from Upper Oligocene to Upper Miocene and the age has been confirmed by Lee (1988). However, Lim (1981) reported that the age of the Kalumpang Formation is Early to Middle Miocene age. The formation is faulted and thrusted against the Darvel Bay Ophiolite Complex at the Darvel Bay area. The basal boundary of the Darvel Bay Ophiolite Complex and the Kalumpang Formation is not exposed. The Darvel Bay Ophiolite Complex (DBOC) is composed of ophiolitic rock association which represents remnant of supra-oceanic crust. The age of chert sediment was thought to be Cretaceous ranging from Barremian to Valanginian (Leong 1977) and later revised and assigned to a range from Aptian to Turonian in age (Junaidi & Basir 2013, 2012, 2010). The age of igneous rock was older than chert perhaps Jurassic in age. The Kalumpang Formation is overlain by the Umas-Umas Formation in the lower of the Umas-Umas Valley. The boundary between the Kalumpang Formation and Umas-Umas Formation was probably unconformable. The Kalumpang Formation is also overlain by Tertiary volcanic rock in the Mount Wullersdorf and the Mount Magdalena area. Then formation is covered by Quaternary sediments in the Balung Valley (Kirk 1962; Lee et al. 2004). Lee et al. (2004) suggested the carbonaceous sediments of the Sebatik Sandstone-Shale Member and the limestone of the Sipit Limestone member were deposited in a geosynclinal environment. The Kalumpang Formation was deposited in a shelf environment. Hutchison (2005) stated depositional environment of the Kalumpang Formation was in transition to shallower water on the apron of the volcanic arc and it includes volcanic and pyroclastic material.
OCCURRENCE OF LIMESTONE
An extensive outcrop of bedded limestone was exposed at the Teck Guan Quarry site, approximately 50 km east of Tawau Town (Figure 1). The bedded limestone occurs as small hills with high cliff that represents karst topography. The thickness of exposed rock is about 46 m. The rocks strike almost north-south direction and dip eastwards. The limestone is grey in colour and is overlain by green tuff.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of five samples of carbonate rocks have been collected from the Teck Guan Quarry at the interval of 5 m. The limestone samples have been cut into several thin sections. A total of fifty thin sections have been analyzed for carbonate rock classification and foraminiferal identification. Preparations of thin sections are based on standard micropaleontology method. The thin section examined by using polarized microscope for petrographic analysis and foraminiferal identification. The identification of larger benthic and other faunas is based on previous works (Adam 1970; BouDagher-Fadel 2008; Cole 1963; Ellis & Messina 1965).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
PETROGRAPHY OF CARBONATE ROCK
Fifty thin section samples from five samples of carbonate rock have been cut for petrographic analysis. The classification of rock is based on Dunham (1962). Sample LKF1, LKF2, LKF3 and LKF4 are classified as wackstone (Figure 2(a), 2(b), 2(c)). All four samples are matrix supported and contain more than 10% of skeletal grains. Sample LKF5 is grains supported with low percentage of matrix. The grains comprise mainly larger foraminifera. This sample is classified as packstone. All the limestone
FIGURE 1. Geological Map of the study area and its locations
samples contain skeletal allochems of algae, bivalves, foraminifera and corals.
The limestone contains well-preserved fossils like larger benthic foraminifera, alga, coral and planktic foraminifera. The most abundance fossils are larger benthic foraminifera. A total of 17 species of larger benthic foraminifera have been indentified and listed in alphabetical order as follow:
Amphistegina bowdenensis Bermudez (Figure 5; 1-5)Amphistegina sp. (Figure 5; 6-7)Cycloclypeus carpenteri (Martin) (Figure 3; 9-11)Cycloclypeus indopacificus Tan Sin Hok (Figure 3; 8)Cycloclypeus sp. (Figure 3; 12-13)Flosculinella bontangensis (Rutten) (Figure 5; 8)Katacycloclypeus annulatus (Martin) (Figure 3; 1-6)Katacyloclypeus martini (Van der Vlerk) (Figure 3; 7)Lepidocyclina (Eulepidina) formosa Schlumberger (Figure

The photomicrographs of foraminifera are portrayed in Figures 3, 4 and 5. Larger benthic foraminifera species distribution is shown in Figure 6. The Letter Stage classification was first published by Van der Vlerk and Umbgrove (1927) based on larger benthic foraminifera from Indonesia area. This scheme has been successfully used for biostratigraphic scheme for the Southeast Asia region. BouD

I have two deposits on my account, I have no idea what they are, only labled as, DCD DCD ACH DEP, whats that?
I have had two deposits in the last couple months. I don't do any overseas transactions or dealings. I haven't even been overseas in 2 years. I'm clueless what this means.
well the reason i mention being overseas is i know dcd is duel currency deposit

ACH stands for Associated Clearing House. Its used in transfers. Think of it as the highway your money takes to get from your checking account to your online brokerage account if you have one. With ACH Transfers your money moves from one place to the other in a matter of 2 business days.
As for the others... you've stumped me
- ReenaLv 71 decade ago
Looks like a "direct deposit"... an automatic transfer from one account into your account.
I wouldn't touch the money until the bank can explain to you who is depositing money into your account. Banks do make mistakes...
and it can happen that they accidently put somebody elses money into the wrong account... in this case your account might be the wrong account. Anyway... when they find out about it they usually take the money out of the "wrong" account and put it back where it belongs...

"ACH DEP" means an electronic deposit. Don't know what DCD is.

Haulage and logistics company Duvenbeck is leading the charge in sustainable transport by electrifying its logistics operations at the ZF plant in Saarbrücken, Germany.
The company has introduced five new Volvo FH Electric tractor units for the transportation of components between Plant 1 and the external warehouse Plant 4/DVZ, covering a distance of 15 kilometers.
Since late November, these electric trucks have been shuttling series transmissions and components to ZF customers on their outbound journey, while returning with mainly empties to Plant 1. Duvenbeck emphasises that the electric quintet is not a direct replacement for combustion engines, but an initiative to support ZF’s transition to e-mobility, complementing the existing LNG-powered tractor units in operation since 2019.
Equipped with three electric motors and six traction batteries boasting a total capacity of 540kWh, the FH electric vehicles can be fully charged in just 2.5 hours with a DC Charging capacity of 250kW, although specific details about the charging infrastructure in Saarbrücken are not provided by Duvenbeck.
The Saarbrücken plant, one of ZF’s major production sites, specialises in manufacturing automatic transmissions for passenger cars and is gearing up for future production of drives for purely electric vehicles. Duvenbeck, responsible for a portion of ZF’s internal plant transport, aims to contribute to ZF’s ambitious environmental goals with its new electric fleet.
“The new quintet of zero-emission trucks therefore fits perfectly into our climate strategy,” said Johannes Buchmann, Head of Freight Network and Purchasing Europe at ZF Group.
Bernd Reining, Head of Vehicle Fleet Manager at Duvenbeck, highlights the collaborative effort between industry and logistics partners in advancing irreversible technological transformation. The company’s commitment to Vision Zero, a world without emissions and accidents, will be visibly displayed on the tarpaulins of their vehicles. Duvenbeck, founded in 1932, operates as a full-service logistics provider with over 6,000 employees across more than 33 locations in eight countries, managing a fleet of 1,500 vehicles primarily serving industrial logistics sectors.

By Michael A. Lebowitz. New York, NY: Monthly Review Press, 2012.
Reviewed by David Cohen
The collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990’s brought forth an abundance of declarations that socialism was once and for all dead. However, for some, the task became developing a new vision of socialism for the twenty-first century. Across several books, Michael Lebowitz develops a new vision of socialism by going back to how Marx envisioned socialism as an alternative to capitalism.
Lebowitz writes, “There is though, a new vision of socialism that has emerged in the twenty-first century as an alternative to barbarism. At its core is the alternative that Marx evoked in Capital; in contrast to a society in which the worker exists to satisfy the need of capital for its growth, Marx pointed to “the inverse situation, in which objective wealth is there to satisfy the workers own need for development.” Human development, in short, is at the center of this vision of the alternative to capitalism.” (Page 17).
In The Contradictions of Real Socialism, Lebowitz continues the development of his vision of socialism by analyzing what happened in the Soviet Union and other European Socialist states during the period that they defined as “Real Existing Socialism,” which is basically the period from the demise of Stalin to the collapse in the 1990’s.
Here he applies his understanding of Marx’s theories of socialism to a real historical period. For me, the point in reading a book like this is to not only gather some understanding of socialist theory but to learn how “Real Existing Socialism” worked and what its achievements and its failures were. Is there anything in this analysis that can help us to understand our present situation in the U.S.? What is our vision of socialism, and what are we doing to realize it?…

KEVIN RATCLIFFE last night joined the chorus demanding that Swansea City's management duo of Colin Addison and Peter Nicholas should be offered new contracts.
Addison and Nicholas will both be out of contract at the Vetch at the end of this season and Swansea's management committee have still not offered them new deals even though they have led the crisis-club to 13th place in Division Three.
Shrewsbury Town manager Ratcliffe, who will watch his play-off chasing Blues take on the Swans at Gay Meadow tonight, said, "Colin and Peter should be given new contracts. Where will Swansea find another two guys with so much experience and enthusiasm?
"But nothing surprises me in football. This is the one profession where you can really get kicked in the teeth. It could now happen to Colin and Peter who have done ever so well since they took charge.
"When it comes to giving out Manager of the Year awards people tend only to look at the clubs at the top. They won't look at, say, what Colin has done at Swansea.
"His team will finish comfortably in the table yet he's had to lose his best players and work on a shoestring budget.
"I can tell you, it's far harder to achieve that than it is to win promotion with a club that can buy players and afford to pay good wages.
"You tell players they're not getting paid on the Friday but they've got to play for you on Saturday. It's almost impossible."
Ratcliffe knows all too well what Addison and Nicholas went through under former Swans chairman Tony Petty.
He had a similar situation at Chester when Terry Smith took over at the Deva Stadium and the club, now in the Nationwide Conference, still owes him £230,000 in wages.
"People don't realise what Colin and Peter have had to put up with," added Ratcliffe. A lot of what happened at Swansea won't come out but it should do.
"It was a disgrace what happened there and it's about time the powers that be started vetting people who want to take over football clubs."
The Swans travel to Shropshire on a bit of roll - Addison's men have taken 14 points from the last 18 and a play-off finish cannot be ruled out.
"With all the problems they've had I'm surprised Swansea are unbeaten in the last five matches," said the former Wales captain. "That shows Colin and Peter are a good one and two."
Ratcliffe's men are in eighth place and just one point off the play-offs - not bad for a side that, two years ago, avoided dropping into the Nationwide Conference by winning at Exeter on the last day of the season.
