Senators Collins, Reed Press FAA for Answers on Boeing 737-MAX Certification
WASHINGTON, DC— Continuing their oversight of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the wake of two 737-MAX crashes that killed 346 people, U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jack Reed (D-RI), the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Transportation-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee, wrote to FAA Administrator Steve Dickson requesting additional information on the Office of Special Counsel’s (OSC’s) conclusion that training for inspectors was incomplete and seeking clarification on testimony to Congress during the Subcommittee’s aviation safety hearing in July.
Last week, Deputy Administrator Daniel Elwell disputed the conclusions of the OSC, which found that aviation safety inspectors (ASIs) assigned to the 737-MAX and Gulfstream VII certifications lacked sufficient training requirements. To clarify the facts, the lawmakers called on Administrator Dickson to provide additional information to confirm that all FAA employees serving on the Flight Standardization Boards for the Boeing 737-MAX and the Gulfstream VII had the required training and explain the inconsistency between the FAA’s statements to Congress and the determinations of the OSC.
They also sought clarification on statements made by FAA leaders at the Subcommittee hearing they held on July 31st, wherein Associate Administrator Ali Bahrami downplayed internal FAA concerns about a rudder cable design issue, contradicting news reports that there was substantial disagreement within the agency. Senators Collins and Reed demanded that the FAA immediately provide a safety review panel report that found that FAA managers had created “an environment of mistrust that hampers the ability of the agency to work effectively.” They also sought additional explanation concerning the decision not to ground the 737-MAX following the Lion Air crash.

Mr. Steve Dickson
Federal Aviation Administration
800 Independence Avenue, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20591
Dear Administrator Dickson:
Thank you for reaching out to us in your first weeks as Administrator regarding the status of the Boeing 737-MAX aircraft. Following the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airline Flight 302 crashes that claimed 346 lives, the FAA must work to restore the trust of the American public, as well as its international partners.
As you continue to address this important safety imperative, we call your attention to the September 23, 2019, letter from U.S. Special Counsel Henry Kerner, which questions the accuracy of statements made by then-Acting Administrator Daniel Elwell about the training and accreditation of the Aviation Safety Inspectors (ASIs) in letters to Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Roger Wicker. We request that you provide additional information regarding the training requirements for ASIs to administer certain pilot qualifications known as “check rides” in comparison to the training requirements necessary to serve on a Flight Standardization Board (FSB). We are particularly concerned about the Special Counsel’s findings that inconsistencies in training requirements have resulted in the FAA relaxing safety inspector training requirements and thereby adopting “a position that encourages less qualified, accredited, and trained safety inspectors.” We request that the FAA provide documents confirming that all FAA employees serving on the FSB for the Boeing 737-MAX and the Gulfstream VII had the required foundational training in addition to any other specific training requirements. If such training requirements were not met, please specify which aircraft certifications were compromised by insufficient FAA oversight of pilot accreditation.
We also ask for clarification to responses submitted in the enclosed letter from then-Acting Administrator Elwell on July 30, 2019, and to statements made by Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety Ali Bahrami at the Subcommittee’s FAA oversight hearing on July 31, 2019.
1) In the July 30th letter, Mr. Elwell stated that the FAA is taking two independent paths to returning the 737 MAX back into service. The first path relies on the FAA’s own certification process, while the second path relies on recommendations of the Technical Advisory Board (TAB), which consists of individuals who had no role in the original certification of the 737 MAX. Will the FAA ensure that the decision-making process for returning the MAX aircraft to service, including how the FAA will implement recommendations from the TAB, will be transparent to the American public?
2) A New York Times article published on July 27, 2019, entitled “The Roots of Boeing’s 737 Max Crisis: A Regulator Relaxes Its Oversight,” highlighted concerns raised by FAA’s engineers regarding the potential of an engine failure that could result in shrapnel hitting the rudder cables, making it difficult for pilots to control the aircraft. The article referenced, “five people with knowledge of the matter and internal documents,” and media reports indicate there was substantial disagreement within the agency. However, in responding to a question from Senator Collins at the hearing, Mr. Bahrami stated that, “[b]ased on all the data, managers made the decision, and the decision was made, it was not necessarily to the liking of one or two individuals.” Given the conflicting information, we are concerned that Mr. Bahrami may have mischaracterized the degree of disagreement within the FAA. Does the FAA agree or disagree with Mr. Bahrami’s response that only one or two individuals disagreed with the rudder cable decision?
3) The same July 27, 2019, New York Times article also referred to a safety review panel that found FAA managers had created, “an environment of mistrust that hampers the ability of the agency to work effectively.” Committee staff requested a copy of this document prior to the hearing on July 28, 2019, but have not received it yet. We now request that the FAA provide this document to the Subcommittee immediately.
4) Referencing a Wall Street Journal article from July 31, 2019, entitled “Regulators Found High Risk of Emergency After First Boeing MAX Crash,” Senator Reed asked Mr. Bahrami about the 10-month window that the FAA provided Boeing to make the necessary changes to the 737-MAX’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). This 10-month window was apparently based on the FAA’s analysis that the probability of an incident similar to Lion Air Flight 610 remained extremely low and could be addressed through pilot notifications as an interim measure. Mr. Bahrami stated that implementing an interim measure followed by a long-term remedy is the FAA’s normal practice, presumably because relying on a temporary, interim measure would pose no immediate safety risk. We are concerned about how the FAA initially determined that an interim measure was sufficient in addressing the flaws in MCAS. After the Lion Air crash, did the FAA provide Boeing a 10-month window to make long-term fixes to MCAS based on its own probabilistic risk assessment? Was that determination made without any consideration for Boeing’s capacity, production timelines, or any other external consideration?
5) In responding to questioning from Senator Reed on the 10-month window issue, Mr. Bahrami stated that, “knowing what we know today, and maybe we would have to take a revisit of that based on these reviews that will come out, we will definitely make adjustments.” What was Mr. Bahrami referring to when he said, “knowing what we know today…”? What adjustments has the FAA made to improve its decision making process for developing both interim and long-term actions related to aircraft certification?
Thank you for your assistance in responding to these questions. We urge you to take the necessary internal actions that may be necessary to improve the FAA’s safety posture as well as the American public’s trust in the agency. We request that you respond to these questions no later than October 11, 2019.

The Miami Dolphins will be without second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this week, but that doesn't mean fans should expect the offense's production to just fall off a cliff.
During this Thursday's press conference, Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson had a message for anyone doubting backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett. He wants the rest of the NFL world to know that Brissett can lead the Dolphins to success.
"We have full confidence in him, as we do with Tua," Wilson said when asked about Brissett starting this Sunday. "We don’t feel like we’ve taken a step back with him."
Brissett was mediocre in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, completing 24-of-40 pass attempts for 169 yards and an interception.
With a full week of preparation as the starter, Brissett should look much better in Miami's offense. After all, he does have a lot of NFL experience.
Since entering the league in 2016, Brissett has made 32 starts. In those games, the NC State product has thrown for 6,628 yards and 31 touchdowns.
When Tagovailoa's ribs fully heal, he'll most likely slide right back into the starting lineup. For now, Brissett gives the Dolphins a serviceable option under center.
Kickoff for the Dolphins-Raiders game this Sunday is at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

What is the book about? Entrepreneurship Book Class 11
In reviewing Russell Brunson’s Expert Secrets publication, I find it a lot easier to paint a picture of the book’s impact and effects rather than define what the publication is about. Here is an illustration of what the Expert Secrets is about and that it is for by listening to Ryan’s real-life narrative.
Meet with Ryan Stewman. Ryan is an ex-convict. He is a who became among the loan officers in the country, then lost it all. He could not renew his license in 2010 because the Dodd-Frank act had come in to effect. Persistent and stressful one more time, he lost it all and left a bet. With no options, he needed to move in with his in-laws. It had been the end of the street for Ryan. Or so it seemed. However, Ryan is a fighter, he fought back, trying many times to have a job but due to his criminal background, he couldn’t get a job. And finally… Ryan was relentless in his pursuit for a way to make things work and achieve his dream. After much trial and error, he created his first sales funnel in 2015, one day. After linking Russell’s mastermind group in 2016, he learned how to construct funnels the way and has since then sold and delivered over 5,000 books with Russell’s system. These publication buyers are high-quality contributes for his enterprise, which will be currently seeing many of them combine his goodwill program. This is not a book about sales funnels, such as Russell’s first book, the Dotcom Secrets. It’s not about online advertising. And it’s not about technology. Like Ryan’s inspiring story, it’s about endurance, tenacity, and persistence in the face of rejection and hopelessness. It is doing the thing of your dreams and what has to be done uncomfortable, to achieve freedom and about flexibility. Expert Secrets is all about how to find that spark within you, how to let that spark burst with impact in society so that it benefits everyone around you and also how to ignite that spark.

In August of last year, I attended the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon 74) in Kansas City, Mo. It was my first SF convention and a bucket list check off. As a world convention, there were thousands of attendees, a huge conference center, and a lot going on – almost 24-hours a day for the entire week. I learned ahead of time about the writers’ workshop program that was part of the conference. I submitted a SF novella before the convention started and it was accepted. At the convention, I received face-to-face reviews by two successful SF writers, as well as two aspiring writers. Our small group met for over two hours to discuss our reviews of the three submitted stories.
Afterwards, I felt I received good critiques from each participant in the group. However, the real issue in getting the most out of writing critiques is knowing how to deal with them. For me this knowledge came mostly from experience. Specifically, I’d attended the Antioch Writers’ Workshop (AWW) in Dayton, Ohio the prior three summers. At the AWW I had worked on fiction writing, more specifically science fiction writing. Several years of receiving and assimilating criticism taught me to separate the helpful comments from the pedestrian ones. I consider each participant’s written and verbal feedback, and I work through all of the items in a slow, thoughtful pace. I know most style and all grammar problems can be fixed by a good editor, so I give them minimal attention. What I’m most interested in are any surprising or unexpected big-picture inputs. For example, the two key criticisms the professional writers at Worldcon gave me were: 1) my story lacked suspense, and 2) my story was partly predictable. The first was a surprise since I knew that my story contained a Big Mystery. Through discussions I came to understand that the problem was not the big mystery, but the need to inject little mysteries along the way to egg on the reader. This provides the chapter to chapter suspense that was missing from my draft.
As for the predictability of the story, that is something I’m still working on. I was concerned about it when revising the second draft so when I got the criticism I knew the point was valid. The trick seems to be to do better at concealing upcoming milestone events without shifting the story arc. I’m still exploring the best ways to do this.
Perhaps what was most interesting was that I sort of stumbled into conducting an experiment. It turns out I had the same SF novella reviewed in a fiction writing class at the annual AWW summer session a month before the Worldcon conference workshop. Thus, I had received critiques on the same draft from both workshops and could compare and contrast the feedback. What I learned was more than can be addressed in this post, but I can summarize three observations that I felt were telling. They are described in the following three paragraphs.
The first observation is that new or aspiring writers’ critiques often need some interpretation. As an example, one young writer commented that a particular section of my narrative – one having to do with a meeting among councilmen – slowed down my story. When I later looked at the draft and the feedback from the professionals I understood what was being said. The subject narrative was: 1) in the wrong place in the story, and 2) more importantly, it did not serve the purpose I had in mind when I initially wrote it. I ended up putting it in the scrap pile where it remains today.
My second observation was about a common critique I received in both workshops. Everyone seemed to agree that I needed to inject more detail into the story. We all understand why detail is important in fiction – it helps make the narrative more believable i.e. like it actually happened. I concluded that there were really several parts to this criticism. One is that, while I was doing a fairly good job at world-building, too much had been left out. This gap in information did not shroud the story in mystery (as I had hoped for) but rather it came across as not-well-thought-out. The criticism was spot on. Another part of this critique was clearly linked to the need to flesh out the major characters. I needed to get more emotion into them by having them reflect on past events and let the reader understand (via internal dialog and other techniques) why they were interpreting things the way they were.
The third observation was mildly surprising but worth some thought. Simply put, critiques provided by writers (both professionals as well as aspiring authors) who write in the same genre as the aspiring writer (i.e. me) generally provide more insight, especially in plotting and originality. As an example, I am one of those aspiring SF writers who prefers hard SF and has little interest in the neighboring genre of fantasy. As a consequence, I know my critiques of fantasy stories are not as good as they otherwise could be. I’m simply not well read on the tropes and trends of the genre. As another example, one time I received a review of my SF novella from an aspiring writer who had mentioned beforehand that she had no interest in SF stories. While she truly made a concerted effort in reading my story, her critiques showed a lack of even the most basic technical or scientific depth. This caused her to misconstrue what was meant in several important passages.
In closing, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard fiction writers talk much about the interpreter aspects of creative writing, but it occurs to me that perhaps this is what fiction writers have in common – a healthy interest in, or dare I say, a need to try to interpret the human condition.


During the first few years you had your 1991 Saab 9000, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 9000 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Saab 9000, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.
We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 9000 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 9000 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.
Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Saab 9000’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Saab up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Saab 9000’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Saab 9000 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Saab 9000 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of steering or suspension problems with your 1991 Saab 9000. From shocks to ball joints, your Saab will be in good hands. Schedule an appointment today.

Prominent members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are set to wrestle power from the hands of the embattled national chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff, if he insists on continuing in office beyond May 21, 2016.
According to The Nation, a 57-man steering committee, operating under the name Concerned PDP Stakeholders, is setting up to take over the party activity and operate from a separate national secretariat should Sheriff refuse to hand over.
The committee is comprised of 13 ex-governors. They are Gbenga Daniel, Babangida Aliyu, Donald Duke, Attahiru Bafarawa, Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, Ahmed Makarfi, Abdulkadir Kure, Achike Udenwa, and Ibrahim Shema.
Three former national chairman of the party and 14 ex-ministers. The former ministers include: Prof. Jerry Gana, Tanimu Kabir Turaki, ABC Nwosu, Dubem Onyia, John Odey, Ojo Maduekwe, Bala Mohammed, Sarafa Ishola, Ibrahim Bunu, Adamu Maina Waziri, Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Suleiman, Josephine Anenih, Hajiya Inna Ciroma, and Amb. Tunde Adeniran.
Other leaders of the party that are members of the steering committee are Senators Grace Bent, Florence Ita-Giwa, Zigo Azeez, Amb. Nkoyo Toyo, Mallam Shehu Gabam, Raymond Dokpesi, and Dr. Doyin Okupe.
A member of the steering committee, who spoke to The Nation anonymously said, “When we met on Thursday, we told Nigerians that we will set up a steering committee.
“We have constituted the committee on Saturday (yesterday) and it is in the interest of Sheriff to step down on May 21 or else the party may split into factions.
“The steering committee is to pilot the activities of the party from May 21 pending the election of new executives for PDP.
“The implication is that if Sheriff refuses to step aside, the steering committee may run PDP activities from a new secretariat.”
The former ruling party is expected to hold its national convention on May 21 in Port Harcourt. New leaders of the party are expected to be elected at the convention.

The Mirror of Salvation: Speculum Humanae Salvationis. an Edition of British Library Blockbook G. 11784
Driver, Martha W., The Catholic Historical Review
The Mirror of Salvation: Speculum Humanae Salvationis. An Edition of British Library Blockbook G. 11784. Translation and commentary by Albert C. Labriola and John W. Smeltz. (Pittsburgh: Duquesne University Press. 2002. Pp. viii, 194; 58 black and white illustrations. $65.00.)
It is difficult to imagine the audience envisioned for this edition by its editor-translators. The editors say their purpose is to present the Speculum Humanae Salvationis "in an immediately accessible and understandable form and to the widest possible present-day audience" (p. 6). Judging from their approach, they are resurrecting this late-medieval text for a modern, non-specialist reader. While the translation of the Speculum text that forms the core of the volume will be useful as a finding aid for English-speaking scholars working in the fields of medieval art history, history, theology and literature, the explanatory texts are simplistic and the apparatus is minimal.
The volume consists of a short introduction, a list of woodcut illustrations, reproductions of the woodcuts accompanied by an English translation of their Latin captions and texts, a modem commentary on the text titled "Interpreting the Blockbook," a cursory and somewhat dated bibliography, and an index. The editors provide no rationale as to why they chose the second Latin edition of the Speculum, dated by vanTheinen and Goldfinch as c. 1474-75 (.Incunabula Printed in the low Countries, 1999, item 2007), for translation and reproduction. This Speculum edition is, in fact, very interesting as it combines xylographie printing (also known as prototypography) with moveable type, though readers are not told why this might be interesting. The first Latin edition, also printed in the Netherlands, and subsequent editions are not discussed.
In their brief discussion of xylographie reproduction (the terms 'xylography' and 'prototypography' are nowhere used), the editors say that the woodblocks were "moistened with dye" (p. vii), which is odd, as the usual substance for printing in this period is ink. Very little is said about the role of blockbooks in the early history of printing; there is no mention of A. H. Stevenson's important discovery about watermarks in blockbooks, for example; and there is no discussion at aE of the role that typographical images like those found in the Speculum play in the margins of Books of Hours, the best-selling book of the later Middle Ages. In their introduction, the editors do say they hope their work will encourage readers to explore further the iconography in "Gothic" stained glass and sculpture, and in Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel (p. …

Once again I am borrowing, or purloining a wonderful Patience Strong verse from a fb posting of a friend of mine.... Enjoy...
THE GARDEN PATH
Where does it lead, the garden path ?
To the lily pond where the blackbirds bath ?
Or rustic seat where the old trees lean
To make a bower of gold and green ?
It does not lead to the pool at all,
Or the wicket gate in the orchard wall.
It leads you to a world apart,
To the garden of dreams that is in your heart.

The ‘black mass’ service, in which a statue of the Virgin Mary was desecrated, was lead by satanist Adam Daniels who holds an annual public ceremony in the city each year. On Christmas Eve 2015, he defiled another image of the Blessed Mother on a pavement outside a Catholic Church. This year’s ceremony was deliberately timed to mock the Feast of Assumption.
Fox 25 reported that the attendance of the black mass was low. Daniels blamed the Christian counter-protests for keeping people away from the satanic ritual.
One of the group that helped to organise the prayer rally was The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property.
One attendee told Fox 25: “I came down here today to not really protest the satanic mass, but to represent my father, Jesus Christ”.
NewsOK reported that the over a thousand Christians attended the prayer walk.
Brian Estabrooks, a local Catholic who joined the walk with his family told NewsOK: “For us, the black mass is a travesty. It strikes at the heart of the community, and I think they (Satanists) are trying to send a message in Oklahoma City, the Bible Belt, a community known for its faith”.
Reverend William Novak represented Archbishop Paul Coakley at the event. Earlier in the day, Coakley had urged the global community to pray fervently “in response to the blasphemous event”.
Reverend Novak told the crowd: “We are all brothers and sisters unified in peace and in prayer. It is why we are here today to stand against evil”.
Those gathered prayed the rosary and sang hymns outside St Joseph Old Cathedral. Once inside the church, NewsOK reported that there was standing room only as the crowd listened to Christian leaders from across the city speak.
Reverend Jorge Cabrera, of Little Flower Catholic Church, told the protestors: “This is important to show solidarity with our fellow Christians, to make ourselves visible. Sometimes people think that evil is prevailing, but God is alive and active as always”.
Despite the outcry against satanic services taking place in a public building, the city officials have said that the black mass service had the necessary permit and is protected under freedom of speech.

The lights are on
Yesterday, we shared surprising and exciting information about the inclusion of Ultimate Warrior in WWE 2K14. For the first time in the history of the Smackdown/Smackdown vs. RAW/WWE series, this electrifying personality will enter the ring. At a preview event in New York City, I also got to talk to the man himself about what this means for him and for the series.
Before I sat down with the legend, I was given access to multiplayer matches with a small selection of superstars. Included in the limited roster are The Rock, John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, and Ultimate Warrior. Even though WWE 2K14 looks similar to last year's release under THQ, matches feel smoother and faster.
Senior gameplay designer Bryan Williams told me that the over 200 animations have been rebuilt from the ground up for a more fluid feel. For instance, superstars now accelerate into a run rather than going from standing to full speed instantaneously. Strikes have been sped up to make them the fastest moves of the game, whereas some grapples could beat punches and kicks in previous years. This also makes them harder to counter.
Small "fidgets" have been added to idle animations to create a more lifelike impression, which goes along well with the less robotic movements. Short taunts, attire adjustments, and other minute gestures add color and texture to the on-screen action.
Reversals have also seen a major overhaul. Instead of possibly endless chains of counters that swap priority back and forth, successful reversals now immediately transition into moves. This makes for fewer disruptions in the action and more evenly paced bouts.
The tweaks and polishes are joined by advancements in features introduced last year. "Catch Finishers," which could only be activated while on the receiving end of an Irish whip or when an opponent leapt from the top rope, now allow players to catapult an opponent into the air offensively. I tested this out with Shawn Michaels, landing a Sweet Chin Music as Steve Austin dropped toward the mat. This makes running toward a foe who has a stored finisher especially risky. Ten of these have been added for 2K14.
Last year's "OMG! Moments" have been reinforced with seven new examples of brutality. For instance, outside the ring, players can be positioned near the post. Using a stored finisher will launch your character into the groggy superstar, sandwiching his head between a foot and the unpadded metal.
In triple threat matches (or other multi-superstar bouts), some superstars can use a single stored finisher to inflict huge damage on two opponents. We were shown John Cena performing a double Attitude Adjustment. Not only does this make economical use of the most powerful moves in the game, but it creates a critical window to pin one foe while the other is struggling to recover. Other examples include Ryback's double Shellshock and a Double Chokeslam for some big men.
Comebacks have been revamped, and instead of lengthy windups and chains of more mundane moves, they are now linked signature moves ending in a finisher requiring only two button presses mid-execution. These are some of the most visually stunning moments I saw, and I can't wait to see more of the roster in action.
I asked Williams how it was working with 2K Sports after so many years of publishing under THQ (he has been working on the series for a decade). "Honestly, my day to day hasn't changed at all," he told me. "But 2K is pushing us in all the right ways. They've spared no expense. They wanted to be in business with WWE and with us."
After chatting with the team and playing the gameplay slice, which had the trappings of a traditional demo (something the series hasn't seen in years), I was shown into a room to speak with Warrior. In our 15 minute conversation, we chatted about his appearance in the series and what it means for his beloved character to return to the fold.
"The video game thing is humbling to think that what I did back then, the character, still makes an impression on people," he said. "It's a rocking character, man. It's a comic book character. It's over the top and serious and cryptic and misunderstood and goofy and wild."
He hasn't played the game before, but he still recognizes the significance of his inclusion in WWE 2K14 and is grateful for the fan support. He continues to be a consummate performer, and his primary concern is the enjoyment of those that are engaged with the Warrior character. "I want people to have fun with the game," he told me. "When you sit down to play the game, you're just there to have fun and get caught up in something. It's ok to have a fantasy or day dream."
WWE 2K14 arrives on October 29, 2013, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Ultimate Warrior character is available for those that pre-order.
With all these new changes.... I might actually have to try this one. (I had last years but something about the game just didn't control well)
Haven't played a wrestling game since the GameCube era thats the last time i step foot in an imaginary journey to the ring, although this sounds great im glad the franchise is still running.
I haven't even had the chance to play WWE13 yet. I need to catch up.
finally, running animations will feature acceleration!!!!
The more I hear about this game the more I want it. And if I'm going to get it I may as well pre-order it to get the Ultimate Warrior. Sometimes those little changes will make the biggest impact. Last year's game was great, so this would have been a bad time for an overhaul of the game.
macho and warrior? time for some Ultimate Maniacs tag team action!
I realllllly hope they get Bret Hart in this one. Been waiting to have Bret Hart, Macho Man, and Ultimate Warrior in the same one. And toss in Mr. Perfect please!
I was thinking why not make a fan favorite WWF (yes that's right WWF not E) game with everyone's favorite wrestler. You could call it Retro Rumble or Retro Royal Rumble. Include all the oldies but goodies like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Million Dollar Man, Ravishing Rick Rude, Rowdy Piper, Bam Bam Bigalow, Andre The Giant and the list goes on and on.
Seriously just warp back to the 80's and very early 90's and you have yourself a goldmine.
It looks good, but i still thing it could be better. I'll wait a few more years i guess.
These have been getting steadily better the past few years
From the sound of this article, I get the impression that 2K is trying to do what THQ couldn't and that's get a good game out of Yuke's. Unfortunately, I still can't believe the word "polish" in reference to a WWE game, until I play the game myself.

It should come as no surprise that Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’s release date of 11/22 has been broken. This is the second time the app’s stated release window has been ignored, the first being when the app debuted on Australia’s iTunes/App Store and Google Play store within 12 hours of the Nintendo Direct showcasing what was to come.
For those who didn’t hop on the bandwagon last month, you can find the app available to download now via the iTunes/App Store and Google Play in your region. Those looking to cash in some My Nintendo points will be thrilled to know that those missions and rewards are live as well.
As for the Animal Crossing diehards who did make Australian accounts or downloaded the .apk files, you can now go into your settings and change your language preferences as well as connect your My Nintendo account. If you have done the later already via an Australian My Nintendo account, then you’re stuck using that account for the time being.
Regardless, happy Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp release day… again!Leave a Comment

The NSW grid now sources more energy from solar than it does from the Snowy Hydro Scheme, according to progress report on the government’s Renewable Energy Action Plan.
Minister for Industry, Resources and Energy, Anthony Roberts, and Environment Minister Mark Speakman, released the NSW Renewable Energy Action Plan Annual Report 2015 on Thursday, revealing 12 of its 24 goals had been completed, and nine more progressed.
Highlights of the report included support for 17 large-scale renewable energy projects, totalling a potential 4,500MW of new capacity and $6 billion of investment.
The report also highlighted the $440 million of Solar Flagships projects that were progressed, including the Nyngan and Broken Hill Solar Plants, both of which are now generating electricity.
“Over the past year, three large-scale renewable energy projects, including Nyngan Solar Plant, came online, representing over $900 million of investment, 380MW of capacity and enough output to power 140,000 homes each year,” the report said.
The report also pointed to the NSW government-sponsored Network Opportunity Mapping project, which it says will highlight opportunities for renewable energy to meet network constraints.
The state has a particularly impressive record on solar, with more than 320,000 NSW households and small businesses are now generating power from the sun.
Commercial-scale solar, particularly, has surged from 680 installations in 2010 to a total of 8,800 installations in July 2015.

This week the bird boys link up across the border and chop it up about a flawed classic and what some call the “last of the great American epics”, Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs Of New York”. This movie took over 30 years to get made and, although flawed, features some really amazing work from Scorsese and his talented cast and crew. “Gangs Of New York” is a story of many things... revenge, democracy, religion, corruption, violence, immigration, crime, and many other things that would come make up the city of New York and America as a whole. It functions as both a straightforward narrative and a commentary on the founding of democracy in the new world. Plus, the cast is just incredible… Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, John C. Reilly, Brendan Gleeson, and Liam Neeson (just to name a few). Unreal.
From a mile-long recreation of 1800s New York built in Rome to Daniel Day-Lewis’ insane method acting and his role as the ruthless William “Bill The Butcher” Cutting to the technical prowess of Scorsese to early DiCaprio breaking from the expectations of his career… this movie has tons of stuff to love. No, it’s not the best Scorsese film, but it features some of the best parts of Scorsese’s cinematic DNA and is worth a rewatch. Plus, white on white racism, Brendan Gleeson’s turn as Monk and his tragic death on screen, the killer supporting cast, the struggles of immigrants and the violence against those who make up the backbone of American society throughout history, that incredible opening sequence, Bill the Butcher being one of the most memorable and most evil characters ever, Leo’s meteoric rise in the aughts and his many collaborations with amazing directors over the years, the historical inaccuracies in the film and the surprising stuff that is actually true, Amsterdam and McGloin’s bar fight and New York’s predisposition to gambling, a Daniel Day-Lewis character face-off, the power of a Scorsese montage, and a whole lot more.
But, as we said before, this film definitely has its flaws, so we talk about the pacing issues in the last couple acts of the film, Cameron Diaz being pretty boring and lackluster in this movie, her horrible Irish accent, that stupidly slow “chase” scene between Leo and Diaz in uptown, all the extra political/class-related stuff that pops up during and just before the Draft Riots and the end of the film, why the first two-thirds of this film are so much more enjoyable to watch, and more. Plus, we ask would this movie work better as a limited series? Can we recast Cameron Diaz? Did we get the emotional payoff we deserved in the story of Amsterdam and Bill Cutting? Is Scorsese too focused on the bigger picture and too heavy-handed at the end of the movie? Or does it ultimately work really well as an extended allegory?
Plus, Otis didn’t get the right record in the mail twice in a row now but might still be able to game the system and win, PALMREADER waking up to gunshots in Pennsylvania, crossing the U.S. border, a surprising interaction with the border agent, figuring out how to get a free COVID test to come home, Otis might be shadowbanned, and a couple more ravings from the bird boys.

make a cool picture out of glass
This project can be simple or very difficult, it all depends on the size of the glass, the picture frame and the complexity of the picture. the one in the picture took over 15 hours of work all together. I dont know why the picture is upside down (Sorry). **WARNING this project is working with sharp glass and it is very easy to cut yourself. Please use safety glasses if you are chipping glass**
Gather materials. Chip your glass to the size you want to work with if needed. (you can get prechipped glass at craft stores.
Choose the design you want, I tend to choose designs with not so many details, because they are hard to do in such a small area.
put the picture behind the glass in the picture frame and make sure its where you want it. (its almost impossible to move it after you glue down pieces.)
get an idea of where you plan to lay each piece. (Ive seen people mark it with numbers and tape to keep it.)
After you get an idea on where you want your pieces, start gluing, leaving space between pieces for grout. This is the longest and most annoying step. The tweezers really come in handy at this point.
when your finally done gluing all the pieces let it set overnight to dry. (If you skip this step you risk loosing pieces while putting the grout on.)
Grout time. Mix the grout according to the instructions, only a small amount, just enough to cover the picture.
Smooth some grout on the picture making sure to fill all cracks. You should use rubber gloves when handling grout, its really nasty to get on your skin and can cause reactions.
before the grout can dry make sure you get it off the glass so its only in the cracks, once it drys it stays.
once the grout is dry you can take an old toothbrush and toothpick and clean up the edges of the glass. Make it look spiffy after all your work :)


Warnock set to inherit transfer war chest with takeover looming
Spash the cash: Warnock set for handsome fund
Air Tycoon Tony Fernandes is preparing to hand Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock a transfer fund of £10million as he looks to finalise his takeover plans.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed how the Malaysian-businessman held talks with QPR co-owner Bernie Ecclestone and his business partner Flavio Briatore over purchasing a majority stake in the Barclays Premier League new-boys.
And Fernandes’ interest in the Loftus Road club was evident when the millionaire businessman joined Briatore on a whistlestop visit to Bergamo, Italy, to watch the West London club win the three-team Bortolotti Trofeo tournament, which also included Atalanta and Braga.
The 47-year-old, who is also team-principle for Formula One outfit Team Lotus, flew to Italy from Budapest after Saturday’s qualifying session for the Hungary Grand Prix, before returning on Sunday morning for the race itself.
And Sportsmail has learned discussions over Fernandes’ proposed buy-out are at a ‘highly advanced’ stage and he is hopeful of being on board by the start of the new season.
Fernandes and Warnock met briefly after the tournament as the QPR boss looked to strike a relationship he hopes will bring the job stability he craves after months of speculation over his role.
And West Ham supporter Fernandes is ready to back Warnock in a show of support for the experienced manager.
Spend, spend, spend: Fernandes is set to hand Warnock a £10m kitty
Warnock told Sportsmail: ‘Myself, Flavio [Briatore] and Tony all had a positive chat after the match on Saturday.
‘We’ve already spoken about possible targets and he is a very positive chap.’
Warnock has been restricted to free transfers this summer, with Jay Bothroyd, Daniel Gabbidon and Kieron Dyer all arriving for nothing.
The Loftus Road chief will continue that trend this week by completing free transfer moves for former Ipswich goalkeeper Brian Murphy and ex-Portsmouth striker Danny Webber.
But Fernandes’ investment will give Warnock the chance to spend some money for the first time this summer.
In demand: Warnock is chasing Jenas (left) and Onuoha to bolster his squad
Having missed out on Kyle Naughton to Norwich, a new right-back remain one of Warnock’s top priorities with Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha high on his hitlist.
Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas is liked by Warnock, as is Jimmy Bullard - whose future at Hull is shrouded in doubt after he was suspended by the Tigers last week.
Warnock hopes to complete his first cash deal today when he holds talks with striker DJ Campbell after QPR met Blackpool’s £1.25million release clause for the striker.

Guwahati: Greater Chandrapur area residents have been protesting for over a week against the shifting of the city’s garbage dumping site from Boragaon to Chandrapur.
The residents fear that the garbage dumped in the proposed site—a defunct thermal power plant of the Assam government—will pollute the region’s ecology.
Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) started dumping the garbage in the area on June 28, following a directive of the Assam Government which ordered the Kamrup Metropolitan district to discontinue the Boragaon site and use the newly-created alternative at Chandrapur.
The residents started their protests on June 26 by blocking the road for the GMC officials who came to clear the site inside the power plant. The locals staged a 10-hour sit-in protest near the site on June 28 after the municipal body arrived with 7-8 trucks of garbage under the protection of the police and Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) to dump in the new dumping site.
Locals allege that Chandrapur, a tourist attraction located on the outskirts of Guwahati, also serves as a natural buffer zone for the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary and Amchang Wildlife Sanctuary, and will lose its prominence. The site is few kilometres away from Kolong and Digaru rivers which merge with Brahmaputra river and they fear that the garbage will affect the water bodies.
All Assam Students Union (AASU) leader Tutumani Kalita said, “The locals have been protesting since August 8, 2019, after the government decided to use the Chandrapur Thermal Power Station as a solid waste management site. This is a threat to the natural habitat as it is adjacent to two wildlife sanctuaries. This move will affect the locals.”
“The dumping ground follows no protocols and violates the solid waste management rules, 2016. There is no demarcation of the waste-to-energy plant, there is no infrastructure and on top of that, there is no environmental impact assessment done. There are many flaws,” he added.
The locals on Wednesday submitted a memorandum to the Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma asking him to shift the newly-created Chandrapur landfill to some other part of the city. “We are clear on our part and we will continue our protests until they [government] don’t accept our demand. We have a series of protests lined up. We cannot bear any ecological damage in our area,” Kalita told EastMojo.
Moreover, the residents allege that the dumping ground, proposed by the government as Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (SWMF) bears no resemblance to a solid waste management facility. “For solid waste management facilities and garbage-to-energy set-up, there has to be waste segregation but unfortunately, there is none. There is no infrastructure. It will be a Boragaon-like dumping ground,” Jagannath Rajbangshi, a retired headmaster, told EastMojo.
“The dumping ground is near a World Bank-funded drinking water supply project of Kolong River. The garbage will contaminate the drinking water since the rainwater will flow down with the garbage to the river. It will be so hazardous for us,” Rajbangshi added.
“Chandrapur is a gift of nature. We are blessed with rich flora and fauna, rivers, wetlands and wildlife sanctuaries. We are rich historically and ecologically. We serve as a getaway for city residents to breathe fresh air. Instead of making it an ecotourism spot, the government is planning to pollute it. Our future generation will curse us for not saving our area,” he said.
Speaking to the media, Water Resources Minister Pijush Hazarika said, “I’m of the opinion that a dumping ground should be far from the residential area. We need to discuss with all stakeholders and ultimately have to create a dumping ground somewhere. There has to be a dumping ground after all.”
Chandrapur dumping ground is one of the four Integrated Solid Waste Management Facilities allocated to the GMC by Kamrup Metropolitan district administration following an order of the Principal Bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The NGT in 2019 asked the GMC to shift the Boragaon site, which is adjoining Deepor Beel, a Ramsar site in west Guwahati.

Taxpayers’ Alliance analysis found that the UK’s top ‘green taxes’ cost individuals and businesses Â£ 11.5 billion in fiscal year 2020-2021 and are expected to reach Â£ 16. Â£ 7 billion in 2023-24 and Â£ 18.8 billion in 2026. -27.
The lobby group said: âThis year the green tax burden is expected to be the highest on record. At Â£ 12.5 billion, there has been an increase of Â£ 11.6 billion since 2001. Most of that increase – Â£ 10.3 billion – has occurred since the arrival at power of the conservative party in 2010. Â»
John O’Connell, Managing Director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: âGreen taxes are already placing an extraordinary burden on household and business bills.
âNot only have environmental taxes contributed to the high tax burden for 70 years, but they hit households by artificially inflating prices.
âMinisters need to tackle these green levies before committing the taxpayer to paying more energy bailouts. “
The taxes include the climate change tax, the carbon floor price, the renewable energy obligation, the carbon reduction commitment and the emissions trading system.
Energy giant Centrica said last week that removing environmental and social levies from energy bills and “funding” green “programs through general taxation instead” would lower annual bills. from Â£ 170 âovernightâ.
Many Conservative MPs want ministers to go further and suspend or cancel the levies or completely. However, government sources said that a significant proportion of the costs would simply have to be funded by taxpayer dollars if they were taken from consumers’ bills, as the money is used to execute renewable energy contracts with consumers. companies.
Before entering Downing Street, Mr Johnson spoke out against excessive green taxes, saying in one column: ‘If you’re an incorrigible old Lefty like Jeremy Corbyn, you see the problem of global warming as the perfect excuse for that the government tax, ban, nanny, wag their fingers and generally intimidate anyone involved in any type of economic activity – especially business. “
The tax burden could reach its highest level in 70 years
Previous TaxPayers’ Alliance analysis concluded that the tax burden would peak in 70 years if national insurance contributions were increased to fund social care, raising it to levels not seen since Clement Attlee’s Labor government .
A one percentage point increase in contributions to the NI would mean that government tax levies, as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), would rise to 35.4% by fiscal year 2024-25.
By contrast, at the end of Mr. Attlee’s tenure as prime minister in 1951, the tax burden stood at 36.1 percent, the lobby group said, a level that has not been exceeded in the meantime.
A government spokesperson said: âEnergy price caps are currently protecting millions of consumers from high gas prices around the world. We will continue to listen to consumers and businesses on how to manage energy costs.
âWe recognize that people face cost-of-living pressures, which is why we are taking action worth over Â£ 4.2bn and supporting vulnerable households through initiatives such as the Â£ 500million household support fund, the hot house discount, winter fuel payments and cold weather payments.

Hosting the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 in the name of Africa had exceedingly benefited Egypt on a national, regional, and international level. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment stated the previous last Wednesday, the 23rd of November.
At the international level, as per the Minister’s statement, COP27 Ministerial Coordinator and Envoy praised the country’s admirable efforts in organizing such a huge event, which highlighted the harmony between all the state’s ministries and concerned authorities, and shifted the international media’s attention to Egypt.
50,000 individuals and a variety of official and unofficial entities have attended the summit, among 120 heads of state and government, high-level representatives, vice presidents, and over 14,000 participants from COP26.
According to Ms. Fouad, a day for solutions, a day for water, and a day for biodiversity were incorporated within the COP27 for the first time in its history.
The conference has taken a huge step forward in negotiating loss and damage, as well as giving access to the private sector to reduce their harmful emissions.
Moving onto the regional level, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi launched the “Advancing Adaptation Action in Africa” after succeeding to acquire an amount of $150 M of funding from the US and other developed countries, and hosting the initiative’s management unit in Cairo. Furthermore, the US has doubled its Adaptation Fund Pledge to $100 M, in line with the US Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience “PREPARE”.

On top of that, state and non-state actors have given The Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy national project $10 Bn to support Egypt’s transitional phase to become a green economy.
And lastly, the African Adaptation Initiative “AII” accepted $150 M. Founded in 205, its main target is forming a unified collaboration between high-level pan-African and regional dialogues to achieve adaptation and simultaneously address the adaptation financing gap.

COMMENT ON DEFAMATION
Today i’m going to give a comment on DEFAMATION. first of all being a Law intern i’ll go with the legal definition.
So according to SEC. 499 of IPC Whoever, by words either spoken or intended to be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes or publishes any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter expected, to defame that person.
some Explanations :
Explanation 1.—It may amount to defamation to impute anything to a deceased person, if the imputation would harm the reputation of that person if living, and is intended to be hurtful to the feelings of his family or other near relatives.
Explanation 2.—It may amount to defamation to make an imputation concerning a company or an association or collection of persons as such.
Explanation 3.—An imputation in the form of an alternative or expressed ironically, may amount to defamation.
Explanation 4.—No imputation is said to harm a person’s reputation, unless that imputation directly or indirectly, in the estimation of others, lowers the moral or intellectual character of that person, or lowers the character of that person in respect of his caste or of his calling, or lowers the credit of that person, or causes it to be believed that the body of that person is in a loathsome state, or in a state generally considered as disgraceful
NOW, According to me , Defamation means to INSULT someone by Orally or Verbally.
Now what is Orally and Verbally ?
Orally means, in spoken manner but verbally means in written form , poster form , by sign , any kind of imputation.
Some illustrations : of both orally and verbally
(a) A says—“Z is an honest man; he never stole B’s watch”; intending to cause it to be believed that Z did steal B’s watch. This is defamation, unless it fall within one of the exceptions.
(b) A is asked who stole B’s watch. A points to Z, intending to cause it to be believed that Z stole B’s watch. This is defamation unless it fall within one of the exceptions
(c) A draws a picture of Z running away with B’s watch, intending it to be believed that Z stole B’s watch. This is defamation, unless it fall within one of the exceptions
so basically defamation is not big Crime because India is a Democratic country. Everyone have FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS : RIGHT TO FREEDOM AND SPEECH UNER ARTICLE 19 OF INDIAN CONSTITUTION. Also this is SECULAR INDIA , the insect of Secularism is too Impatient to getting out every time.
But a crime is a all time a crime either it small or big. So Defamation is a crime and the PUNISHMENT of Defamation is given under section 500 of IPC. “Whoever defames another shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.” In India, defamation is both civil and criminal offence.
it’s all about Defamation as per me.

Indianapolis Semi-Truck Accident Results in Traumatic Brain Injury
Our client was seriously injured when his vehicle was struck by a semi-tractor trailer as he was entering I-465 westbound on the south side of Indianapolis. The evidence from the accident showed that the driver of the semi-tractor trailer was speeding in dark and rainy conditions, and made no attempt to slow down, change lanes, or otherwise assist the traffic that was merging onto I-465. The defendant driver's carelessness was the direct cause of our client's injuries, which included numerous fractures, a mild traumatic brain injury, and multiple lacerations. Our client's recuperation required eight nights of hospitalization and an additional ten days in a rehabilitation facility. For his injuries and his continuing problems, Tabor Law Firm helped our client recover a six-figure settlement from Defendants.

CROWN POINT | One of Lake County's oldest bridges will soon exit the county, but remain over the same river it has spanned for the better part of a century.
The Lake County Board of Commissioners voted Wednesday for an agreement to donate Lake County Bridge No. 2 to the Kankakee Valley Historical Society.
Later this year, work crews will disassemble the one-lane, steel truss bridge that has carried traffic on Range Line Road/Clay Street, southeast of Lowell, across the Kankakee since the 1920s to make way for a modern overpass.
They will transport the 169-foot, 60-plus-ton structure some 14 miles upstream to Porter County's Collier Lodge, southwest of Kouts, where it will eventually be reconstructed over a meandering arm of the great river.
"We are putting it across a section of the original Kankakee River. It will be a homecoming of sorts," John Hodson, founder of the Kankakee Valley Historical Society, said this week.
"It was one of the top 10 most endangered bridges and now a pretty neat addition to our lodge and a great way to preserve history. One end will be a walkway going up the Baums Bridge Road. The other end of the bridge will be in what was originally Jasper County before they straightened the river," Hodson said.
The Kankakee River is one of Indiana's most extensive water drainage systems, encompassing 3,000 square miles of river basin which includes 13 Northwestern Indiana counties, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website.
The river once sprawled in sinuous curves many miles wide over one of the North America's largest wetlands. This was converted to agriculture when a six-year project straightened the channel between 1911 and 1917.
The bridge was one of the first erected over the new mainstream, Hodson said. It is being retired for a wider, safer structure to carry increasing traffic between rural Jasper and Lake counties.
Marcus Malczewski, county highway superintendent, said the state was planning to replace the bridge early this fall, but the date will probably be postponed because companies bidding for the work want at least a $2 million contract, which is over the state's estimate.
He said the state will rebid the project in a couple of months.
Hodson said the history society will begin raising money for the bridge project Aug. 23 and 24 at its annual Aukiki River Festival, which features historical re-enactors.
