Reputation image from Fallout: New Vegas.
Novac? Nice enough place, I guess, but just between you and me, when I rolled into town, my skin started to itch. Watch yourself.”— Victor, Fallout: New Vegas
Established alongside Highway 95 before the Great War, the town of Novac was once just a small, nameless stopover point for travelers looking for a restroom, a motel, or a coolant refill, particularly on the way to the REPCONN test site. Dinky the Dinosaur and the "World's 2nd Largest Thermometer" were novelty roadside attractions, to help attract customers. After the war wiped the slate clean, the settlement was abandoned for the better part of two centuries, until it gained a new lease on life in the first half of the 23rd century, around the 2230s-2240s.
The settlers gradually cleaned up and restored the area. The fledgling town was named after the neon sign advertising the motel. Of the name, arrow, and the No Vacancies sign, only the arrow and No Vac remained. Though it lacked access to natural resources, its proximity to the REPCONN test site and the seemingly inexhaustible supply of salvage allowed the town to generate a stable supply of pre-War technology, scrap, and other goods to caravans passing up and down the highway. The arrival of the Bright Brotherhood around 2281 and the feral ghouls that blocked the road to REPCONN facilities have caused concern that this might threaten the town's livelihood. However, the recent increase in caravan traffic up Highway 95 has given the town an additional source of income, due to the virtual shutdown of I-15. In fact, some denizens expect Novac to become Nevada's next boom town.
However prosperous it might be in the future, Novac's denizens aren't too trusting of transients and non-residents in the present. This is due to the proximity to the front lines along the Colorado and Legion and other raiders skulking in the south-eastern Mojave, particularly after the loss of Nelson and Camp Searchlight. Although not a territory of the Republic, the NCR Army extends its protection to the town as a vital stopover point for caravans. Permanent protection is provided by two NCR Army veterans, Craig Boone and Manny Vargas, who use the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex statue as a watchtower to eliminate any would-be troublemakers at range. The only other potential law in the town, Ranger Andy, is a retiree who recently hurt his leg falling down the stairs in the motel.
Novac occupies a crossroads on the western side of a major Highway 95 interchange, leading east towards Nelson and west towards the REPCONN test site. The west side contains the residential houses, including Jeannie May Crawford's house, the McBride house, and two more Novac houses. There's also a small water tower with a swampy, irradiated area to the northwest, No-bark's shack by the road exiting north, and a mess tent set up just across the street from the Poseidon Energy station by the motel.
The Dino Dee-lite Motel is the centerpiece of the area, featuring three accessible bungalows (Ranger Andy's bungalow and Cliff Briscoe's bungalow) and seven accessible rooms, including Boone's room and Manny Vargas' room. One can be purchased from Jeannie May Crawford at the Dino Dee-lite front desk for 100 caps or received for free as a reward for reaching the Accepted reputation in the town. Of course, there's also Dinky the T-Rex, which contains the Dino-Bite Gift Shop, ran by Cliff Briscoe, and the town's watchtower up the stairs.
The town has good infrastructure, with a workbench and a reloading bench in the garage of the Poseidon Energy gas station, and another in the makeshift shack near the water tower. There are also three lootable graves, two by the boarded-up home north from Crawford's house, and another one near the water tower. Two campfires are located in walking distance, one in a cave west of the water tower on the hillside and another at Gibson's shack, north and a little west behind Gibson scrap yard.

Behind the scenes
- A dead generic raider can be found dead on the eastern side of Novac, one of the only raiders in the entire game with no faction allegiance.
- Perhaps tied to the above is the fact that Novac was the first cell developers constructed because it's more advantageous to not build tutorials around areas that you're going to end up scrapping in the end, and due to game engine fluctuations. Notably, Novac has no equivalent in the real-world, as the interchange between routes 96 and NV 165 is empty. The roadside attraction is inspired by Baker, California, which holds the world's largest thermometer, and clearly takes some inspiration from Claude Bell's Dinosaurs.
- Novac's script was written by Eric Fenstermaker.
- A tumbleweed may appear and freeze in the middle of the road near the motel, remaining fixed in place.
Novac appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
- Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p.410-412: "[5.18] Novac
Before the war, this community was a small hamlet built as a refueling and restroom break along Highway 95, with extra tourists coaxed in to gaze at the settlement's main attraction: Dinky, a huge metal dinosaur biting "The World's (2nd) Largest Thermometer!" Some of the locals are friendly folk, though most are distrusting of outsiders. They appreciate the protection of the NCR, but are afraid of what's going on at the REPCONN Test Site to the west. The local law, Ranger Andy, is unable to investigate due to an injury, and periodic intrusions by Ghouls and the odd Viper from the hideout down the road."

I keep waiting for him to leave me for some young thing with platinum blonde hair and hoop earrings, but he still sticks around. Says it's my cooking. I think it's because I know which Brahmin udder you can milk without getting kicked in the noggin. We set up this ranch years back when Novac was just getting settled.

We can't get in there now."

- Joshua Sawyer on Formspring October 29, 2011: "For the planned Legion territories, why were they cut from the main game?
Time. Re-scoping the size of worldspaces can be very problematic, so we developed areas essentially in a loose radial pattern, working out from Novac (the first area we developed). Because the Legion camps were on the other side of the Colorado River, they were scheduled for late development because the natural barrier presented by the river meant that cutting off access would be relatively easy. Unfortunately, that's what we wound up doing."

ARINZE Onuaku rediscovered his offensive brilliance, scoring while also involving his teammates in Meralco's series-tying win over Alaska.
Coming in averaging just 11.3 points and 2.7 assists in his last three games dating back to the eliminations as he succumbed to double and triple-teams, Onuaku overcame the Aces defense and wound up with 22 points and six assists.
“I just had to be smarter and make the right decisions,” Onuaku told Spin.ph after the game. “I’ve been double-teamed all year, so it’s up to me to make the right pass or to be able to score when I can.”
The 6-foot-9 American big man’s aggressiveness was evident in drawing fouls as he had 14 free-throw attempts, matching his attempts in his last three games combined.
He capped his performance with a putback off a Jared Dillinger missed triple that gave the Bolts a 90-85 lead with 13.7 seconds left.
“I got to stay aggressive,” Onuaku said. “I can’t the double-team take me out of my game.”
Bolts coach Norman Black praised his prized ward for heeding his call and showing his scoring and passing skills.
“He played almost the entire game and he was much more effective offensively today,” Black said of Onuaku, who also had 14 rebounds, one block, and one steal in almost 45 minutes of play.
“There were quick passes coming from Arinze to his teammates all the way to the other side to JD which really left him wide open.”

Rising ground under West Antarctica could prevent ice sheet collapse
A new study finds that the ground underneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet region is rebounding, or rising, at an extraordinarily rapid rate.
Why this matters: Previous research has shown that enough ice has already melted in this region to trigger a potentially irreversible melt of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which would sharply increase sea levels worldwide. Now, though, scientists may have identified a new brake on this runaway train.
[Get more stories like this by signing up for our weekly science newsletter, Axios Science.]
As the ice melts, there is less weight being placed on the bedrock below. This is causing the ground level to rise through a process known as glacial isostatic adjustment, or rebound. (Such a process is still underway in parts of North America from the end of the last ice age.)
If the underlying bedrock rises fast enough, it could halt the loss of ice from this region, the study, out today in the journal Science, finds.
- New measurements found that the ground under the rapidly melting Amundsen Sea Embayment of West Antarctica is rising at the astonishingly rapid rate of 41 millimeters, or more than 4 cm, per year.
- If this trend increases as the study projects, then the grounding line, which is the spot where the marine-based ice shelf of the Pine Island Glacier meets bedrock, will have risen by 8 meters, or 26.2 feet, in 100 years, according to an Ohio State University press release.
- The study utilized ground-based GPS sensors as well as satellites that measure subtle changes in gravitational fields.
Terry Wilson, a co-author of the study and professor emeritus at Ohio State, told Axios that the rebound rate measured at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is the fastest ever measured at any ice sheet on the planet.
What this means: The rapid uplift rate — determined using ground-based GPS instruments — means that there's a greater chance that certain so-called "pinning points" underneath the ice that could catch hold of a moving ice floe and keep it in place. The authors of the study say the rapid response of the Earth's surface to the ice melt indicates the ground deep underneath that part of Antarctica is hotter and more fluid (or less viscous) than presumed, and therefore has a more rapid response rate.
Wilson says that if greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated, the rising ground level underneath West Antarctica won't be sufficient to stop it from melting. However, under moderate emissions scenarios, it would, based on early computer model simulations.
What they're saying: Researchers who were not involved in the new study are treating it with cautious optimism, saying more research is needed before concluding this is truly good news.
"The ice-flow community will use these, and other, new data to make better projections. I believe that as these new model experiments are conducted, the data from this new paper will prove to be important but not dominant, and that human decisions about our energy system are still the most important influence on future sea-level rise. But, in coming years, the estimates of sea level rise will be more accurate because of this work."— Richard Alley, a geoscientist at Penn State University.
Robert DeConto, an ice sheet researcher at the University of Massachusetts, whose work has pointed to the dangers of losing the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, says he doesn't see the new results as a game-changer — at least not yet.
"I remain optimistic, but currently, Antarctica’s greatest contribution to sea level rise is coming from the very region in Antarctica where this process should be helping slow things down," he said. "... I’m not sure our low lying coastlines can wait for the Earth’s soft interior to save the day, no matter how viscous it might be."
And Natalya Gomez of McGill University, who is working to incorporate the rising bedrock into computer models of how ice sheets will respond to global warming, told Axios that the new study reinforces the consensus view that our decisions in the next few decades will prove pivotal to the fate of Antarctic ice.
"In my view, with insight from the modeling I have done, this feedback will play a more important role in slowing or stopping ice sheet retreat in this region in a low-end warming scenario, but less so in a high-end scenario — with enough warming in Antarctica, this region will retreat and lead to substantial sea level rise.”— Natalya Gomez, McGill University
- West Antarctic ice melt poses unique threat to U.S.
- Antarctica has lost nearly 3 trillion tons of ice since 1992

Immigration bill cruising to passage in U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sweeping U.S. immigration legislation cruised toward passage in the Senate on Wednesday, but Republicans in the House of Representatives pursued a different approach that cracks down on millions living in the United States illegally rather than offering them a chance at citizenship.
Presidential politics took a more prominent role as Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican and potential 2016 White House contender, tried to reassure fellow conservatives that many criticisms of the Senate bill, which he helped write in a rare bipartisan effort, are "just not true."
The White House-backed Senate bill was on track for passage by Thursday or Friday. President Barack Obama would like to have an immigration bill passed by Congress so he can point to a major legislative success in the first year of his second term.
Immigration is one area in which both major political parties have managed to find common ground in a bitterly divisive Congress. Republicans turned to immigration reform after losing badly in last year's presidential election as Obama benefited from a growing Hispanic vote.
The Senate legislation includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration, while offering a chance at citizenship for millions living in the country illegally.
It provides for 20,000 new Border Patrol agents, requires the completion of 700 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico and requires an array of high-tech devices be deployed to secure that border.
Businesses would be required to check on the legal status of prospective employees. The government would be ordered to install a high-tech system to check on the comings and goings of foreigners at selected international airports in the United States.
Other provisions would expand the number of visas for highly skilled workers relied upon by the technology industry. A separate program would be established for lower-skilled workers, and farm workers would be admitted under a temporary program.
The legislation was drafted by four Democrats and four Republicans who met privately for months to produce a rare bipartisan compromise.
In the House, an attempt at a bipartisan deal faltered, and majority Republicans began moving ahead on legislation tailored to the wishes of conservatives and vehemently opposed by Obama's Democrats.
One of the bills approved by the House Judiciary Committee makes it a new crime to remain in the country without legal status. It also allows state and local governments to enforce federal immigration laws, an attempt to apprehend more immigrants living in the United States illegally. It encourages those living in the United States unlawfully to depart voluntarily.
With attention beginning to shift to the House, Rep. John Fleming said House Speaker John Boehner, a fellow Republican, had assured party members they will vote on bills being written in the House.
"We are not going to take up the Senate bill," Fleming said, quoting the speaker.

The Golden Melody Festival is a B2B-focused event hosted by the Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development (BAMID) of the Ministry of Culture since 2014. Each year, the festival draws more than 2,500 visitors, with last year’s event in 2015 staging close to 300 sessions for 3,000 participants and brokering more than 430 million New Taiwan Dollars in business deals. To further promote opportunities for the domestic industry to interact and collaborate with international industry representatives, the 2016 Festival has planned 12 “pitching” sessions. A dozen industry representatives from Taiwan, Malaysia, the United States, France, China, and Finland have been invited to present short reports to an international audience on innovative services and philosophies relating to topics such as music, performance, and entertainment, in the hope that the mutual exchanges can open up more diverse and deeper channels of cooperation.
This year’s Pitching Program is bolstered by a stellar lineup of special guests, starting with Kaz Michijima, Director at PROMIC for the Tokyo International Music Market (TIMM). As part of the first music industry exchange between TIMM and GMF, Japanese pop-rock band PASSEPIED will perform at the Golden Melody Showcases, while Taiwan will nominate one band or artist group to perform at TIMM in October. There is also Sami Haiko, Head of International at Music Finland, who is responsible for managing collaborations between Finland and musicians from other countries. Joanna Wang’s cover album Midnight Cinema, which received three Golden Melody Award nominations, was produced during one of Haiko’s creation camps. Also invited is Victor Tan, Managing Director of EQ Music & Media, Southeast Asia’s largest independent music label, which specializes in promotion and arranging corporate gigs for artists performing in Malaysia and Singapore. Another invitee is Tony Nagamaiah, General Manager of Malaysia Major Events (MME). This enterprise, which operates under the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism and Culture, is actively encouraging other countries to stage large-scale events (such as music festivals) in Malaysia. From Thailand, there is Peter Phornprapha, founder of the Wonderfruit Music Festival, an energetic yet relaxing four-day event that attracts 9,000 people a day and in which up to 50% of performing artists are from overseas.
Representing French digital distributor and content integration platform Believe Digital will be Syaheed MSBI, Head of Trade Marketing for Asia Pacific and Country Manager for Singapore and Malaysia. Believe Digital works with artists to release their music on online music platforms and to help them understand and analyze market conditions in other countries. Attending on behalf of French HD video-sharing platform Dailymotion is Head of Content Antoine Nazaret. Dailymotion currently has regional substations in 17 countries, allowing users to enjoy localized sharing and uploading of personal HD content. Visiting from Mainland China is Song Ke, CEO of the Alibaba Music Group. Song will be discussing the group’s Alibaba Planet, China’s newest fan entertainment-sharing platform. Also from China is TC Pan, founder and CEO of Ultimate Music, a Chinese digital music content provider and services aggregator. Pan will be sharing his experiences on Ultimate Music’s efforts to build China’s B2B music ecosystem, including through managing its own brand of online music services, e-commerce music providers and online ticketing services.
From Taiwan, the special guests will be new media artist Huang Hsin-chien, who recently worked on the audio-visual design team of singer Jody Chiang’s 2015 farewell concert tour; Iris Wu, founder and CEO of US-based audio technology startup Ambidio, whose instant sound processing technology has won high praise from international media and musicians alike and secured research funding from Hong Kong business magnate Li Ka-shing; and Raymond Pao, Associate Vice President of VR New Technology at Taiwanese consumer electronics giant HTC, who has been spearheading HTC’s foray into virtual technology and will be giving attendees the opportunity to experience the upcoming HTC Vive, a room-scale VR head-mounted display under co-development between HTC and Valve Corporation.

Before the Kings School student took her life, she scheduled a suicide note to appear on her Tumblr page hours after her death. In the post entitled ‘suicide note’, Alcorn stated she was transgender and felt “like a girl trapped in a boy’s body” since she was four-years-old. However, she added she did not tell anyone because she was not aware of the term "transgender", or that it was "possible for a boy to become a girl". She wrote that aged 14 she discovered she could change her gender, and “cried of happiness.” “After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was,” said Alcorn.
A transgender teenager used her suicide note to claim she ended her life because her hardline Christian parents would not allow her to transition medically, and urged society to treat transgender people “like humans”. Leelah Alcorn, 17, died a few miles from her family home in Ohio, after she was hit by a tractor-trailer just before 2:30am of Sunday morning. The incident occurred on the southbound Interstate 71 in Union Township in Warren County, and is being investigated by Ohio State Highway. Police reports confirmed the teenager had died, but identified her by using her birth name Joshua Alcorn, which has also been widely used by local media.

I absolutely love fish tail braids, difficult but worth it, make two sections of your hair and then take smaller sections and bring them together. continue braiding till the end and then secure with a hair tie.
The waterfall braid in my opinion, is the ulimate hairstyles for bridesmaids and sangeet brides it creates a softness to your features.
If you are someone who does not like the typical hairstyle then this braided bun hairstyle is for you. a christian brides dream hairstyle, a timeless classic.
Let me know in the comments what are some of your favorite types of braids.

Cancer-stricken rickshaw puller appeals for euthanasia in Odisha
Sambalpur: A poor rickshaw puller suffering from brain cancer for the last eight months here has sought the District Collector’s permission for euthanasia.
Following unbearable pain and inability to bear the expensive treatment, the patient’s wife on Tuesday met the District Collector Samarth Verma and submitted a hand written petition appealing him for ‘mercy killing’.
“My husband does not want to live anymore. Half of his body has decayed. Therefore, I request that he be allowed euthanasia,” she pleaded before the Collector.
The patient Hadu Pattnaik used to pull rickshaw for livelihood while his wife Rima works as domestic help and the earning is very little to treat her husnabd.
Adding burden to the couple’s misery, the younger son of the poverty-ridden couple died four years back due to jaundice and his three children are staying with them.
The letter said that Hadu was taken to VIMSAR in Burla for treatment but the hospital authorities returned him saying that he cannot be treated there.
Meanwhile, the district administration has sanctioned Rs 30,000 soon after receiving the application for the treatment.
Sambalpur Collector Samarth Verma has assured her to provide all kind of assistance for the patient’s treatment.
“I have discussed the matter with the director of VIMSAR and soon a doctor will be sent to the patient’s house to assess his condition,” informed Verma.
It may be noted that the Supreme Court on March 9, legalized passive euthanasia and allowed ‘living will’ to terminally-ill patients.

Based on historical research into Dutch policy-making and its effects, this contribution sets out some of the backgrounds of Dutch development aid. Over the decades aid policies have been subject to changing fashions of ideas and approaches. Looking back, one can distinguish ideas appearing, disappearing, and being rediscovered. The present focus on a combined agenda of aid, trade and investment is an example. This text offers some historical background to the role of trade in Dutch development policy. Doing so, it traces the inception of aid as an instrument to work for an improvement of human conditions since the 1940s. It will show that trade as a basic approach in combination with aid is older than generally assumed. These historical developments will add perspective to the centre piece of this present contribution. It deals with the way local culture played a role in the peculiar genesis of the Dutch fishery project in Lake Victoria between 1964 and 1974, and shows how the Dutch perspective on aid influenced this particular project. As for unintended consequences, the fishery project contributed to the dramatic changes in the lake’s ecosystem that have occurred over the past decades. This historical example also serves to illustrate that temporary projects are ill-fitted to address structural issues at hand in the developing world, and that the belief in the suitability and manageability of aid instruments carries risks of unintended effects that have an impact far beyond the immediate goals of development experts.

Arraki's last film is a great attempt to mix some mystery alongside drama & thriller, sometimes successfully but sometimes lacks of tonal quality. There is a great cast delivering some good acting too and the soundtrack is just amazing. I loved all these trippy moments coming to our hero's dreams. Kat is the average teenager, trying to satisfy her sexual desires at the late 80s. As Phil, her boyfriend, can't fulfill her demands, she turns to a local detective for more adventures after her mother's sudden disappearance. Her father was her doormat, a peaceful boring family man. Kat doesn't blame him for the situation and tries to understand the events surrounding her. The story works, there is some sense of mystery but the real hit is its shocking end.

Do you remember the remarkable 'The Raid: Redemption' back in 2011? This is the sequel taking it to the next level. More nasty, more dark, more thoughtful.

More madmen and killers with incredible skills come into the game as betrayals come over and roles always change. Is there anyone for Rama to trust or he has to end it alone?
Director Gareth Evans delivers an awesome action film once more. Everything is well done for the audience's pleasure.

Signal is a really interesting sci fi movie. Its cinematopraphy and cast make it work and it is something different in a good way. Three friends are trying to track down a mysterious hacker somewhere in the Nevada desert. Their passion lead them in an abandoned place where everything is going to change. The real terror begins after this incident and trough some artistic nostalgic-type flashbacks, the storyline delivers a great plot. The pacing is slow and methodical, doling out information in carefully measured doses before opening the floodgates during the film's climax. For a medium budgeted film, it sure does looks amazing. I can say it is a mindbender for serious sci fi fans.

Extinction is not another typical zombie flick but maybe a beautiful exception. Even if you can think of it as a repetition at the beginning, everything is going to change soon at this well written story. Two different neighbors, Patrick and Jack, live peacefully somewhere in an abandoned place in the future. There was a zombie attack, nine years ago, and now Patrick raises up his daughter Lu, as Jack has no friends around, except his dog. There is a secret between these two men and they both have a common enemy that is still kept hidden. Surviving on the cold planet is really difficult and Lu tries to understand the meaning of being a human. Cool acting, nice atmosphere and an interesting horror film as well.

A talented young girl tries her best in the medical university but she gets into troubles while doing the dirty job for a mobster. This is not her only problem as twisted doctors are trying to get closer to her and a few weird clients need her services at last. She is confused and has to take difficult decisions about her future that change everything. Her delicate passion for being a surgeon will drive her into a dark, bloody world. An interesting horror film with good acting and working plot. There is not enough gore as I was expecting but it is still an accomplishing gem. It is good to see new talent emerging with entertaining movies that don't follow the cookie cutter mold Hollywood has been giving us.

College football heads into its second month, as we ended the first month with a bang. Last week, my locks went 4-1, and we just needed one more point from the offensively-challenged Gators to reach perfection. Alas, we will take an 80 percent hit rate, and look to carry the momentum through to Week 5.
Like last week, we find value yet again with road teams. This week is all about the underdog with four out of our five picks siding with teams getting points.
All odds are courtesy of OddsShark, and are subject to change.
Here’s a look at this week’s best college football picks against the spread for Week 5.
No. 1 Vanderbilt Covers +10 Spread at Florida
The week would not be complete without a pick involving Vanderbilt. While last week we picked against the Commodores, it is time to get back on the Vandy train. Florida is somehow a double-digit favorite against Vanderbilt.
As we expected, Vanderbilt was trounced by Alabama, but face a much easier opponent in the Gators. Nine suspended Florida players are facing felony charges which, if convicted, will have these players kicked off the team. Take Vandy to cover the spread, and it would not be a major surprise if the Commodores won outright.
No. 2 USC Covers -3.5 Spread at Washington State
It appears Vegas is giving Pullman a little too much credit. Washington State is a difficult place to play, especially at night. However, USC is a much better team, and we expect the Trojans to handle Washington State. Aside from Texas, all of USC’s wins have been by 10 or more points.
The last time Washington State faced a good offense was Week 2 against Boise State. The Cougars gave up 44 points, despite winning the game. Look for Sam Darnold and the Trojans offense to put up lots of points against Washington State as they cover the spread.
No. 3 MTSU Covers +3 Spread at Florida Atlantic
There is no magic in college football. FAU was getting a lot of pre-season love after Lane Kiffin was hired as coach. However, Florida Atlantic has started the season 1-3 with their lone win coming against Bethune-Cookman. Middle Tennessee is 2-2, but their two losses came against Vanderbilt and Minnesota.
Despite promises of a dynamic offense, FAU has only notched more than 20 points once this season. Expect MTSU to put up points, while Florida Atlantic fails to cover the spread.
No. 4 Ole Miss Covers +28 Spread at Alabama
Alabama is favored by four touchdowns, but you have to look back to 2011 to find an Ole Miss-Alabama game with a margin of victory this large. Ole Miss has a history of playing Alabama close, and the Rebels have won two of the last three matchups.
With the black cloud surrounding the Ole Miss program, don’t expect a miracle victory this time around. However, quarterback Shea Patterson will help Ole Miss put up points as the Rebels keep this game closer than Vegas expects.
No. 5 Virginia Tech Covers +7.5 Spread vs. Clemson
There is something about a night game in Blacksburg. Don’t believe me? Check out the above video.
Now that you’re extremely pumped after watching that clip, what’s better than a home underdog? Virginia Tech is more than a touchdown underdog at home. College Gameday will be at Virginia Tech for the first time since 2007. This is as marquee a home matchup as Virginia Tech has had in years. Clemson may win the game, but Virginia Tech keeps this one close in front of a ruckus atmosphere.

JAMESTOWN– Nearly eight months after an Oregon woman first alerted the public to a fake Native adoption scheme, The Stutsman County State’s Attorney’s Office issued a warrant for the arrest of a woman they say is responsible.
Betty Jo Krenz, approximately 47, of Woodward, North Dakota, was charged with two felonies of theft of property and unauthorized use of personal identifying information, and misdemeanor theft of property, according to state records.
Court records did not reveal what kind of property Krenz allegedly took at this time.
The theft of property reportedly occurred in February 2017, the second felony charge occurred on October 25, 2016, and the third misdemeanor charge occurred on November 27, 2016, according to court records.
Krenz’s criminal history also included forgery, counterfeiting, issuing a check or draft without sufficient funds in Eddy County, and failure to wear a seat belt in Stutsman County, according to North Dakota Court records.
Krenz paid a total of $1,975 for the forgery and counterfeiting charges, and was also sentenced to two years probation, according to court records. She also paid in excess of $500 in 2012 on two counts of writing bad checks. All penalties were listed as having been paid in court records.
Krenz was formerly the case manager for the Spirit Lake Tribal Social Services, and her role there ended in 2011. Calls were made to Spirit Lake Tribal leadership, but no response was given pertaining to Krenz’s work history. Krenz also became a high-profile figure speaking out on tribal issues, and was included in a 2014 campaign advertisement approved by current Congressman Kevin Cramer, R-ND. The ad was entitled “No One Should Have To Be Afraid.”
Her case was initially investigated by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office, and was turned over to the State’s Attorney’s Office in November 2017.
During the time she was allegedly involved in faking adoptions, she frequently mentioned Cramer, and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, according to Autym Burke, the Oregon woman who said she was “duped” by Krenz. She initially paid $1,800 in adoption fees to Burke, which were later mostly paid back.
Krenz was also a nominee for the 2017 L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth Award, but was not selected, according to L’Oreal management staff. She has a long criminal record involving forgery and writing bad checks, both under her current surname and former surname, Edland, according to North Dakota court records.
On September 27, 2017, the Spirit Lake Tribal Council banned Krenz from entering the Spirit Lake Reservation, tribal administration reported.
Since Burke made the situation public on September 21, complaints against Krenz have gone viral on social media. Burke lives in Oregon, and although she met Krenz during the near year-long faked adoption process, she had no idea that 1,500 miles away the baby in question belonged to Jodie Blackboy, a registered member of the Spirit Lake Nation, she said.
Blackboy said in November last year that she did not know Krenz was using her infant daughter’s pictures for “her own gain,” she said.
Krenz also had multiple GoFundMe accounts, raising more than $16,544, and $4,470 for a math camp for Lakota children. She was also involved in the Kind Hearted Woman Dream Shelter in Jamestown; with Robin’s House, a shelter for women and children, and a blog called Restless Spirit Blog, last updated in 2016. During a September 2016 YouTube posting, Krenz also discusses a $2,000 micro grant she planned to use to help women for Damsel In Defense, a women-empowering organization.
Cramer’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Jason Stverak, said that Krenz’s appearance in Cramer’s campaign video predates his time with the congressman’s office, and that he would ask Cramer for a comment.
Indictment for embezzlement
In an unrelated case, United States Attorney Christopher C. Myers announced on Monday that Melissa Ann Mandan, aka: Melissa Fyten, 33, was indicted for federal program theft and embezzlement and theft from the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation after an investigation led by the FBI.
The indictment alleges Mandan stole in excess of $40,000 worth of funds and amenities from the tribe’s infant and toddler program while she was employed as an administrative assistant. The program provides tribal members resources and services to help children with speech and physical therapy. Additionally, Mandan is also charged with fraudulently using thousands of dollars from the program to purchase goods and food.

The country’s Balance of Payments for the first eleven months of 1999 yielded an overall surplus of $3.540 billion, nearly triple the previous year’s $1.192 billion surplus. This was brought about mainly by the surge in the current account surplus.
Bolstered by the continuous growth in exports, trade in goods surplus ballooned in the last four months to bring the cumulative surplus to $4.017 billion compared to a deficit of $488 million recorded a year ago. Merchandise exports reached $32.089 billion during the eleven-month period, a 19.0 percent improvement over the corresponding year-ago level. Electronic products, which registered a 24.7 percent growth, remained the top export earner with a 60.7 percent share of total exports. Machinery and transport equipment also remained in the top list of export performers.
On the other hand, imports of goods picked up by 2.2 percent reaching $28.072 billion pushed by the 7.9 percent expansion in raw materials and intermediate goods. It should also be noted that the increase in the price of crude petroleum in November resulted in the accelerated growth of the value of mineral fuel imports.
Meanwhile, the capital and financial account yielded a net inflow of $703 million with sustained net inflows of medium- and long-term loans, the most recent of which was the release of the $400 million syndicated loan to BSP for reserve management.
Both the current account and the overall BOP surpluses of $6.446 billion and $3.540 billion for January-November 1999 have exceeded the corresponding year-end targets of $1.665 billion and $3.16 billion. Gross international reserves at end-November reached $14.748 billion, $846 million higher than the projected level of $13.902 billion for the same period.

Some financial relief for Mid-Western region’s long-suffering NBN customers may be on the horizon.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) says Telstra has agreed to offer customers refunds, free exit from contracts, or new plans after it admitted its promised maximum NBN speeds could not be delivered.
ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said its investigations revealed Telstra could not deliver what they offered to thousands of customers.
“Our investigation revealed many of Telstra’s FTTN and FTTB customers could not receive the maximum speed of their plan,” he said.
“Even worse, many of these customers could not receive the maximum speed of a lower-speed plan.
“In essence, people were paying more to get higher speeds that they just weren’t able to get.”
Telstra has admitted that 9000 of its customers on its 100/40 Mbps deal - or 100 Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload - and 50/20 plan could not receive those speeds.
The consumer watchdog found 26,497 - more than half - of FTTN customers on the 100/40 Mbps deal could not get that speed, and 9606 of those consumers could not even receive the lower tier 50/20 Mbps speeds.
“However, we are mindful this is not just a Telstra problem; it is an industry problem where consumers are often not getting the speeds they are paying for,” Mr Sims said.
Consumer group Choice's spokesperson Tom Godfrey said people with ongoing telco issues do have the right to ask for a better deal.
"Consumers should be able to cancel their contract and leave without penalty if the problem is ongoing and the telco isn't providing its contracted service," he said.
Complaints about services under the NBN have risen by 160 percent in the past financial year according to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman.
The ACCC is asking other retailers for similar commitments to those Telstra has offered.

Flight development test program of new Russian submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) Liner has been completed, reports Interfax referring to a source in Navy Main HQ. The tests were found successful, and the missile will be commissioned in the nearest term. Liner missiles will be based on Project 667BDRM Delfin submarines along with upgraded R-29RMU2 Sineva.
SLBM Liner has similar flight characteristics with Sineva missile, but is equipped with more advanced antimissile barrier overcoming system. The new missile is capable to deliver up to 12 low-yield or up to four middle-yield warheads. Besides, Liner can carry combined payload. As was previously reported, commissioning of SLBM Liner would prolong subsistence of northeast grouping of Project 667BDRM submarines up to 2025-2030.
First reports about Liner tests leaked out on May 20, 2011; however, it was said then that Russian Navy had tested Sineva missile. The launch was carried out by SSBN K-84 Yekaterinburg. Later on, it was reported that had been Liner missile. Some experts assume Liner is modernized SLBM Sineva commissioned into Russian Navy in 2007.
Length of R-29RMU2 missile is about 15 meters; diameter is 1.9 meters; launch weight is over 40,000 tons. The missile system is capable to perform single and salvo launches from a submarine moving at depth down to 55 meters and at speed up to 7 knots. Sineva is capable to carry 4-8 warheads; its range is up to 8,300 km. According to defense ministry's plans, Sineva will be in Russian Navy's inventory up to 2030.

Làm thế nào để bảng mạch PCB cải thiện hiệu quả tản nhiệt
Double-Sided Boards. This type of circuit board has wiring on both sides, but to use the wires on both sides, you must have a proper circuit connection between the two sides.
2. Multi-Layer Boards. In order to increase the wiring area, multi-layer boards use more single- or double-sided wiring boards.
For electronic equipment, a certain amount of heat is generated during work, which causes the internal temperature of the equipment to rise rapidly. If the heat is not released in time, the equipment will continue to heat up and the device will fail due to overheating. The reliability of the electronic equipment Performance will degrade. Therefore, it is very important to perform a good heat dissipation process on the circuit board. The heat dissipation of PCB circuit board is a very important link.
So what is the heat dissipation technique of PCB circuit board, let’s discuss it together.
1. Heat dissipation through the PCB board itself:
Currently widely used PCB boards are copper-clad / epoxy glass cloth substrate or phenolic resin glass cloth substrate, and there are a few paper-based copper-clad boards used. Although these substrates have excellent electrical properties and processing properties, they have poor heat dissipation properties. As a heat dissipation method for highly heat-generating components, it is almost impossible to rely on the PCB resin to conduct heat, but to dissipate heat from the surface of the components to the surrounding air. However, as electronic products have entered the era of component miniaturization, high-density installation, and high-heat assembly, it is not enough to dissipate heat only on the surface of components with a very small surface area. At the same time, due to the large use of surface mount components such as QFP and BGA, the heat generated by the components is transferred to the PCB board. Therefore, a better way to solve the heat dissipation is to improve the heat dissipation capability of the PCB itself that is in direct contact with the heating element. Conducted or emitted.
2. Heat dissipation through layout:
a. The heat sensitive device is placed in the cold wind area.
b. The temperature detection device is placed in a relatively hot location.
c. The devices on the same printed board should be arranged as much as possible according to the amount of heat generated and the degree of heat dissipation. Devices with low heat generation or poor heat resistance (such as small signal transistors, small-scale integrated circuits, electrolytic capacitors, etc.) should be placed. The cooling airflow is quite upstream (at the entrance). Devices with high heat generation or good heat resistance (such as power transistors, large-scale integrated circuits, etc.) are placed quite downstream of the cooling airflow.
d. In the horizontal direction, high-power devices should be arranged as close to the edge of the printed board as possible to shorten the heat transfer path; in the vertical direction, high-power devices should be arranged as close to the top of the printed board as possible to reduce the temperature of these devices when they are working. Impact.
e. The heat dissipation of the printed board in the device mainly depends on the air flow, so the air flow path should be researched in the design, and the device or printed circuit board should be reasonably configured. When air flows, it tends to flow in a place with low resistance, so when configuring the device on the printed circuit board, avoid leaving a large airspace in a certain area. The configuration of multiple printed circuit boards in the whole machine should also pay attention to the same problem.
f. The temperature-sensitive devices are better placed in areas with lower temperatures (such as the bottom of the device). Do not place them directly above the heating device. Multiple devices are better arranged on a horizontal plane.
g. Place devices with high power consumption and high heat generation near good heat dissipation locations. Do not place devices with high heat generation at the corners and peripheral edges of the printed board, unless a heat sink is arranged near it. When designing the power resistor, select a larger device as much as possible, and make sure that there is enough space for heat dissipation when adjusting the layout of the printed board.
2、High heat-generating device plus heat sink and heat-conducting board When a few devices in the PCB have a large amount of heat (less than 3), a heat sink or heat-conducting tube can be added to the heat-generating device. When the temperature cannot be lowered, it can be used Radiator with fan to enhance heat dissipation.
When there are many heating devices (more than 3), a large heat shield (board) can be used. It is a dedicated heat sink customized according to the position and height of the heating device on the PCB board or a large flat heat sink. Cut out different component height positions.
The heat sink is integrally buckled on the surface of the component, and contacts each component to dissipate heat. However, the heat dissipation effect is not good due to the poor consistency of the components when mounting and welding. Generally, a soft thermal phase change thermal pad is added on the component surface to improve the heat dissipation effect.
3、For equipment using free convection air cooling, it is better to arrange integrated circuits (or other devices) in a lengthwise manner, or in a horizontal lengthwise manner.
4.Adopt reasonable wiring design to achieve heat dissipation. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of the resin in the plate, and copper foil lines and holes are good conductors of heat, increasing the copper foil residual rate and increasing the heat conduction holes are the main means of heat dissipation. To evaluate the heat dissipation capability of a PCB, it is necessary to calculate the equivalent thermal conductivity (nine eq) of a composite material composed of various materials with different thermal conductivity, one by one, for an insulating substrate for a PCB.
5 、 Các thiết bị trên cùng một bảng in nên được sắp xếp càng nhiều càng tốt theo lượng nhiệt tỏa ra và mức độ tản nhiệt. Các thiết bị sinh nhiệt thấp hoặc chịu nhiệt kém (như bóng bán dẫn tín hiệu nhỏ, mạch tích hợp quy mô nhỏ, tụ điện, v.v.) được đặt trong luồng không khí làm mát. Tương đối cao (ở cửa ra vào), và các thiết bị sinh nhiệt lớn hoặc chịu nhiệt tốt (chẳng hạn như bóng bán dẫn nguồn, mạch tích hợp quy mô lớn, v.v.) được đặt tương đối xuôi dòng khí làm mát.
6 、 Theo chiều ngang, các thiết bị công suất cao được bố trí càng gần mép bảng in càng tốt để rút ngắn đường truyền nhiệt; theo hướng thẳng đứng, các thiết bị công suất lớn được bố trí càng gần bảng in càng tốt để giảm tác động của các thiết bị này đến nhiệt độ của các thiết bị khác trong quá trình hoạt động.
7 、 Sự tản nhiệt của bảng in trong thiết bị chủ yếu phụ thuộc vào luồng không khí, do đó cần nghiên cứu đường dẫn luồng không khí trong thiết kế và thiết bị hoặc bảng mạch in phải được cấu hình hợp lý.
Khi không khí lưu thông, nó có xu hướng chảy ở nơi có điện trở thấp, vì vậy khi cấu hình thiết bị trên bảng mạch in, tránh để một vùng trời rộng lớn trong một khu vực nhất định. Cấu hình nhiều bảng mạch in trong cả máy cũng cần chú ý đến vấn đề tương tự.
8、Temperature-sensitive devices are better placed in areas where the temperature is relatively low (such as the bottom of the device). Do not place it directly above the heat-generating device. It is better to arrange multiple devices on a horizontal plane.
9、Place devices with high power consumption and high heat generation near good heat dissipation locations. Do not place devices with high heat generation at the corners and peripheral edges of the printed board, unless a heat sink is arranged near it.
When designing the power resistor, select a larger device as much as possible, and make sure that there is enough space for heat dissipation when adjusting the layout of the printed board.
10、Avoid the concentration of hot spots on the PCB, and distribute the power as evenly as possible on the PCB to maintain uniform and consistent temperature performance on the PCB surface.
It is often difficult to achieve strict uniform distribution during the design process, but it is necessary to avoid areas with too high power density to avoid excessive hot spots that affect the normal operation of the entire circuit

About the piece:
As the warm sets on a waning summer haze, birds take flight in search of warmer days. ‘Migration’ captures the phenomenal spectacle of the annual geese migration as they journey thousands of miles to warmer climates and evade the bitterness of winter in the northern hemisphere. While many geese adopt the stereotypical V-formation during flight, some species, such as Brent geese, migrate in family groups and often fly in wavering lines. ‘Migration’ captures this particular animal behaviour and the beautiful aerial art it creates through their spontaneously synchronised flight formation. As well as evoking themes of change, hope and adventure, ‘Migration’ reminds us of the cycle of life and the importance of adaptability to constant change, but also the significance of family, unity and togetherness.
At least 50% of the proceeds from this sale will support the charitable work of David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) and our ground-based conservation partners across Africa and Asia.
