TraceMetrics was developed as an accessible Java-based trace file analyzer for ns-3 (Network Simulator 3).
The main goal is to perform a quick analysis of the trace file produced by ns-3’s simulations and calculate useful metrics for research and performance measurement.
Such tool is needed because a research simulation may generate a trace file with thousands of lines, becoming difficult to analyze manually.
Due to this, this tool can be handy in case someone needs a metric that the tool already support.
TraceMetrics Crack+ Free [Win/Mac]
TraceMetrics Cracked Accounts is a tool to generate a histogram from a trace file.
The histogram can be useful to generate histograms related to the size of the packets and data frames.
On the other hand, TraceMetrics can generate a histogram from the trace file to evaluate the total amount of time used in the simulation.
TraceMetrics can generate an histogram related to the number of frames that took a certain amount of time.
Here are some of the metrics that you can find generated by this tool:
Time and packets histogram.
The histogram generated by TraceMetrics can be used to calculate the average time and the average number of packets used to pass through the simulation.
The histograms are divided in normal (0-60000) and heavy (60000-90000) simulation traces.
The normal simulation traces are very useful to measure the performance of hardware (CPUs or NICs) on the simulation.
The heavy traces are useful to evaluate the performance of a simulation (over loaded simulation).
The added lines added to the Histogram in this page can be used for that purpose:
The histograms can be used as a performance measure without the necessity of a trace file analyzer.
The histogram will show the quality of the simulation for real-time applications.
If a histogram is too wide, there will be more packets/frames being sent.
Such situations may indicate a performance problem, like a lack of CPU/NICs on the simulation.
If the histogram is too narrow, there will be many packets/frames waiting.
Such situations may indicate poor usage of the simulation, like many frames going directly to the transmission queue without even trying to forward them.
Data traffic histogram.
This histogram should be used to measure the amount of data sent/received during the simulation.
When trying to evaluate the performance of a simulation in a real-time application, it is necessary to know how many data frames were sent to simulate, because data frames often exceed what a real-time application can deal with.
The same is true for packet size.
TraceMetrics can generate a histogram related to the data traffic for every frame and for each packet of a frame.
If the histogram is too wide, there will be a lot of data frames sent.
TraceMetrics Activation Code With Keygen Download
TraceMetrics has two basic functions. The first one is to read the original trace file produced by a simulation, and analyze it finding interesting metrics. The second one is to compile the metrics into an HTML report which can be then visualized in any Web browser supporting HTML5.
TraceMetrics is developed as a single project to be portable in different Operating systems and to be released as a single executable file.
Currently, it only supports Windows OS as an operating system.
A simulation using TraceMetrics may generate a trace file with thousands of lines.
Therefore, TraceMetrics performs several optimizations in order to make the analysis as fast as possible.
| Windows| Linux| MacOS| Ubuntu|
For Windows, the UI starts with a window where you can select the area to be analyzed.
The original trace file is then read in order to calculate the metric.
You can select the area of interest by dragging the selected area with the mouse.
Once the simulation is over, a summary of the metrics found is displayed.
Several examples of the exported metrics are shown.
The report can be generated starting from the summary or by selecting the metrics found by the simulation.
As in the previous Windows scenario, each row of the HTML report is a one metric found by the simulation.
The HTML report is generated by clicking on “Generate HTML Report” which only take a second to generate.
| Windows| Linux| MacOS| Ubuntu|
The current version of TraceMetrics only supports the analysis of a single trace file.
In order to perform multiple analysis or complex analysis of multiple trace files, there is the need for a new version of TraceMetrics, designed to generate multiple reports at the same time.

The core of the application is written in Java.
A Java applet is used to display trace file metrics.
The main goals are:
1. To be available for as many platforms as possible. The JRE is required for running the Java applet.
2. To do basic graph customization and control.
3. To be configured and also be able to generate reports.
Reports generated are compatible with ReportLab.
Currently 5 reports are implemented but there is room for expanding the number of reports.
Below you can see a screenshot of the main applet.

What’s New In TraceMetrics?
The software features four modules:
Trace file viewer
Trace file analyzer
Module 1: Network Simulator:
TraceMetrics is based on the Network Simulator model within ns-3. This module is used to read the trace file generated by the simulation. It is the only module of the software that require the trace file analysis.
The implementation uses a custom set of plugins to read this trace file.
Module 2: Trace File Viewer:
This module is the first step to work with the results of the simulation. It shows the trace file meta information. It also provides a really nice visual representation for the topology and packet traces.
The trace file analyzer and metrics modules are built upon top of this viewer.
Module 3: Trace File Analyzer:
It is a module responsible for the analysis of the trace file and for providing to the user the results of the analysis. It can be used to perform a quick and exhaustive analysis of the trace file and calculate some interesting metrics like packet loss, propagation delay and packet delay.
Module 4: Metrics:
This module is the repository of the metrics calculated by the previous modules. They include in this module the most interesting metrics calculated by the trace file analyzer.

LFCHD gives 1,498 free shots at special one-day clinic
The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department helped almost 1,500 people stay protected from the flu this fall and winter following a special one-day clinic to provide free flu shots.
LFCHD employees gave 1,498 free flu shots Oct. 9 as part of its annual free flu shot clinic, which provides the community with vaccinations while allowing the department to test its emergency preparedness. This year’s clinic was held at Imani Family Life Center.
The seasonal flu shot is recommended to all people ages 6 months and older. Last year, Lexington had 109 confirmed cases of the flu. The health department provided more than 3,100 flu vaccinations throughout the season.
Last year, the health department provided 1,921 shots at last year’s free flu shot clinic, which was held over eight hours for an average of 240 shots per hour. In three-plus hours yesterday, health department nurses provided 416 shots per hour.
If you did not get an opportunity to receive a flu vaccination during the event, please remember that employees and their immediate family members living in the same household can still get FREE flu shots 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 805A Newtown Circle.

Does testosterone impair men's cognitive empathy? Evidence from two large-scale randomized controlled trialsroyalsocietypublishing.org
- Two large-scale studies, on 243 and 400 participants, show no evidence that testosterone affects empathy in young men.
- This casts doubt on the theory that early exposure to increased levels of testosterone can cause men to lose empathy.
- These results do not take into account all possible links between testosterone and empathy.
- However, they still provide robust evidence that developmental exposure to testosterone does not impact cognitive empathy.

For all rightwing dissembling on election irrelevance, you need look no further than Bangladesh-WalMart crony "capitalism", and the relation of repubLIEcon party leaders with:
"The Bangladeshi government has declared a period of national mourning for more than 120 garment workers who died in a fire at a factory that supplied U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart, among others. Joining us from Bangladesh is labor activist Kalpona Akter, who has visited the factory and took pictures of the charred clothing labels she found there — including the Wal-Mart brand, Faded Glory. She started work in garment factories when she was 12 years old. Now she campaigns for better wages, recognition of the right to organize, and higher safety standards. We are also joined by Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, which investigates working conditions in factories around the world. In comparison to the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire in New York City, Nova says, “It really is an extraordinary achievement, in an ironic sense, that the U.S. apparel industry has managed to replicate early 20th century conditions that were so brutal and cruel to workers now again here in 2012 in factories in places like Bangladesh. It is a shameful record for the U.S. apparel industry … And hopefully this horror will finally galvanize a global push for genuine reform of the labor practices of the big brands and retailers. Akter speaks directly to shoppers, saying, “Consumers can play a big role because they are the most powerful player in the supply chain.”

An affordable way to get great art is to frame a great illustration from a beloved book. I do it in my home and some pictures I have had up for years.
My store was started as a way to recycle, reuse beautiful old book illustrations from books that were damaged and unusable.
I had been framing them myself, but haven’t found a way to make that pay for itself, so now I mostly offer up the page, from a beautiful, damaged book, that you can frame yourself. It’s inexpensive and you can customize it.
This is a box with books and comics inside, it is all that and so much more. It is a big ole gift to yourself, and I just saw it on Amazon for $25, which is half price, and is crazy because local stores cannot compete with that, but it is an amazing price and you get so much for your money!
The colors are so deep and the printing so crisp. The faux Golden Book isn’t perfect, it looks fantastic, but the foil on the side is coming off, but who care, it is a faux Golden Book! Do I sound like an asshole if I mention that Chris Ware lived above my best friend in Chicago in the 1990’s? So so much of his work reminds me of that time and place in Chicago.
Also I cannot let my kids see these because some of the pictures would upset them, maybe traumatize them.
Plus shipping, but email me to figure out cheaper rate.
Also, email me to discuss what you think of this picture.

Icelanders have to pay the Icesave bill. In a statement yesterday to Parliament on the meeting last week of the European Council PM David Cameron stressed that ‘this country should be a good friend to Iceland and a strong supporter of continued EU enlargement. But Iceland does owe the United Kingdom £2.3 billion…We will use the application process to make sure that Iceland meets its obligations because we want that money back.’
There have been some speculation in Iceland that the Tories might have a different view on Icesave than Labour and the, for Icelanders, mean Gordon Brown. Some months ago I heard from a leading Conservative that his party shared Labour’s stance on Icesave so I wasn’t surprised to hear Cameron’s words. What some Icelanders fail to understand is that there are no UK political interests aligned with the Icelandic interests on not paying. In the UK, Icesave is an unpaid bill, not a cause that the voters are worried about or interested in. Neither are the politicians except they want their money back.
Cameron’s words haven’t gone unnoticed in Iceland. Some even think this was a diplomatic blunder of great dimensions that will only strengthen the opposition in Iceland to EU membership. That’s a rather crude view since Icesave is an issue that needs to be resolved while a EU membership is about very long-term interests, not about paying or not paying for Icesave.
The fact is that Iceland owes £2.3 billion to the U.K. and €1.3 billion to the Netherlands as compensation for depositors who lost money in the collapse of Internet bank Icesave. The Icesave saga is turning into a long one – no wonder that the UK government wants to use all possible means to solve the issue. What would Icelanders do if they were owed money by a nation that had gone back and forth on its words on paying?

Good news pleased with Australian scientists. It turns out that contrary to popular belief the use of cell phones threatens to Oncology.
It is now unlikely to be able to ascertain how went the horror stories that mobile phones cause brain cancer. And do not need. As found by Australian doctors, it’s just a myth.
Scientists of Sydney University conducted a large-scale study, the results of which are published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology. In the course he had studied cancer diagnoses 19 858 14 men and 222 women in the period from 1982 to 2012. But the statistics, the use of mobile phones in Australia is that they appeared there in 1987, in 1993, they were used by 9 percent of Australians, now this figure rose to 90.
After collecting the data, the scientists came to an unexpected conclusion: it turns out that the incidence of brain cancer over the whole period remained stable. The only group in which the number of patients grew, were people over 70, but it was associated with the improved diagnostics, which now allows to detect the cancer in those cases, when before it was about the stroke and senile dementia.
By the way, the findings of the Australian medics have confirmed their French colleagues. The magazine Le Figaro published an article in which a cancer researcher Catherine hill says that in France, with the advent of a miracle-technique, the incidence of brain cancer also remained stable.
The news is certainly good, but that’s no reason to start abusing gadgets. Not all aspects of their health effects are studied, and live human interaction, they still will not replace.

Why celebrate the 25 years birthday of an academic book? Most books collect dust on library shelves long before reaching that age. However, some books become classics of their discipline. Gøsta Esping-Andersen’s The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism is such a book. It is arguably the most influential contribution to comparative welfare state research ever written.
In this special issue Esping-Andersen contributes what he himself considers the missing piece in Three Worlds, namely an article on the effect of the welfare state on social mobility. Esping-Andersen shows that while social democratic welfare states have enhanced upward mobility chances for working-class offspring, this equalization does not come at the cost of the privileged classes.
The other contributors take issue with one or more of three interrelated arguments that explain the impressive impact of Three Worlds. First, that distinct historical-political developments in capitalist societies resulted in three different types of welfare states. Second, that welfare states types reflect different political ideologies (liberal, conservative and social democratic). Finally, that welfare state types have systematically different economic, political and social consequences.
While reflecting some of the most important arguments put forward in Three Worlds, each article goes beyond analysing these arguments’ impact on the scholarly literature and makes an original contribution to the research agenda initiated by Three Worlds. Jane Gingrich and Silja Häusermann’s analyse class-based voting, Torben Iversen and David Soskice’s discuss the relation of Three Worlds with the influential Varieties of Capitalism literature, Daniel Oesch’s analyse the relationship between equality and employment in post-industrial economies, Philip Manow examine the social and political origins of the ‘fourth’ welfare regime in Southern Europe, Jennifer Hook argue that class inequality is the missing variable connecting Three Worlds and typologies of ‘gender regimes’, and Kees van Kersbergen and Barbara Vis’ reflect on the (dominant) role of Three Worlds in comparative welfare state research.
In an introductory article we show how Three Worlds had an immediate impact on comparative welfare state research, and how its status has grown since to become a a standard reference in virtually all social science disciplines. The group of established scholars and upcoming stars in this special issue not only gauge the impact that Three Worlds has had on different debates, but also look forward and advance the debates initiated by Three Worlds. Check out the special issue.

Buffalo News says cancel ESG
Last week I wrote about the cutbacks and possible $300 charge for the Empire State Games.
Keith McShea followed up with a great story in the Buffalo News today, basically saying the games are dead and should just be canceled.
Hopefully some sort of funding can be restored. State funding for the Games went from $2.7 million to zero. The Games can certainly be streamlined — a scholastic-only competition isn’t the worst thing. But making athletes pay? No way. How about cutting funding in half? Since when does Albany work this quickly and decisively?
The state’s announcement included the caveat that for the 2010 Games, scheduled to be held in Buffalo, that there is “hope of reinstating the suspended competitions, as well as revisiting the new fee structure.”
But we know how that goes. Once something is cut from a budget, good luck getting it back.
The story is a good read and makes some great points. As one of many Empire State Games fans, I am sad to hear about all these cut-backs. But I hate to say it, this is the beginning of the end.

Executive Committee gives nod to deal that would create single payment system for Toronto city services
Amid the COVID19- pandemic, Nathan Phillips Square sits empty on what would normally be a bustling spring day Sunday March 29, 2020. (Joshua Freeman /CP24)
Published Thursday, April 29, 2021 4:12PM EDT
City staff are recommending that Toronto City Council approve a new deal negotiated with a digital payment company to simplify and modernize payment across all city services.
A staff report approved by the city’s executive committee today says the contract would save the city about $11 million over five years by streamlining payment processes across all services, such as property taxes, court fees, permits, utilities and other services.
Currently there are multiple payment systems in place for various city services.
According to the report, the contract with PayIt Digital Government Inc. would simplify the experience for customers by creating a single platform for payment across all city services.
The new platform would launch this summer and would initially be used for property tax, utility bill, and parking violation payments.
Customers who currently pay through their banks would continue to be able to do so, but would also be able to pay on the new platform using a credit or debit card. The company would charge customers for credit (2.35 per cent) and debit (1.5 per cent) payments, while EFT bank transfers would continue to be free.
The city currently covers transaction fees for card payments on some city services, but has said that doing so is unsustainable.
PayIt, a Missouri-based startup, has been providing digital payment software for major fundraising campaigns and state contracts in the U.S. for several years.
The company opened a Canadian head office in Toronto in September, in the Harbord Village area. The launch of the Canadian subsidiary marks its first foray into the international market.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be opening our Canadian headquarters here in Toronto. This city is already home to some immense tech talent and we are excited to contribute to this ever-growing pool of talent," PayIt CEO and founder John Thomson said in a news release at the time. "It is our plan to use our presence in Toronto as a means to create more highly-skilled tech jobs in the city and to support the continued development of Toronto's tech talent footprint."
If the company gets the go-ahead to roll out the platform for Toronto, other services such as building permits, licenses, and court fines would eventually be integrated onto the same platform in subsequent phases.
“The platform will not only provide residents with greater digital payment options, it will offer self-service features that people expect from modern mobile and web applications in a digital era,” the staff report says. “From personalized bill reminders to scheduling payments, to storing account documents and saving preferred payment methods through one digital wallet, the platform will make the experience of accessing city services and paying bills much simpler.”
According to city staff, the platform would save the city about $11 million over five years through a reduction in office visits, mail outs, credit card service fees to the current payment provider and other streamlining.
The report says the deal would shift certain technology building risks away from the city by adopting a cloud-based software-as-a-service model, but notes that the company would still have to comply with Canadian data requirements and the city's privacy and security standards.
PayIt would be compensated an estimated 0.49 per cent of all the revenue collected through the new platform. The contract is estimated to be worth somewhere between $20.5 to $25.1 million over five years.
The initial deal with the company would run for a three-year term, with two possible one-year extensions.
The company first approached the city last year and was selected through a request for proposals process. City staff started negotiating with the company in February and wrapped up earlier this month.
The staff recommendation to go ahead with the deal will go before Toronto City Council next week.

If you enjoy the thrill of playing your favourite casino games but are not a fan of playing on the internet, you should check out Live Casino. This gaming format provides an authentic experience as you can talk with the dealer while at the same time participating in the game. The cameras in this type of casino are usually monitored by dealers. The dealers can respond to any queries and help you win the game. In addition to this, you can also dress up as you like as you can wear the outfit that you like best.
Before you start playing live casino games, make sure you check the licensing of the online casinos. These casinos should be licensed and have regulators and auditors that monitor the gambling industry. The software used by them should be licensed in the country they are operating in. If you find an online casino with a license, it is a reliable choice. If you want to play live casino games using a mobile device, you should look for a mobile casino.
There are many factors to consider before selecting a live casino. You should be able to enjoy the games from anywhere, so it’s best to do some research first. There are many different types of live casino. In addition to the usual casino games, you should also look for a live casino that provides you with a bonus for playing the games. The bonuses offered are another important factor when choosing a live casino. There are a number of online casinos that offer bonus programs for players.
If you want to play live casino games, you should always check the gaming regulations in your country. Whether it’s online or live, you should check with the gambling commission or special authority to see if the casino is licensed in your country. If you can’t find a license, you should look for another option. Despite the differences, both types of live casino are worth checking out. You can also try a live casino lobby and see if it’s the right option for you.
While most live casinos are similar to regular online casinos, they are not entirely identical. There’s a slight difference in their interface, but the functionality of the casino is the same. You’ll be able to place bets and interact with the dealer. You’ll be able to see other players’ reactions and see how they’re betting. There are no rules that govern live games. Therefore, you’ll be able to play at live casino.
While Live Casino offers an authentic gaming experience, it can also be difficult to find the right one for you. If you’re unfamiliar with the technology, it’s best to do some research. Read the terms and conditions of the site to find out if it suits your needs. Once you’ve made a decision to play live casino, make sure it’s worth your while. You’ll be glad you did. The benefits are clear, and you’ll be happy you did.

Intelligent Paging Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol
Backoff algorithms have been introduced to improve network performance by reducing collisions over networks, especially in large ones. The Binary Exponential Backoff used in the standard IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control makes exponential increments to contention window sizes. The large contention window gaps produced can significantly reduce the network performance. Therefore, a new increment behavior is introduced in this paper in order to avoid failure transmissions. The Results show that shifting the contention window to the right place based on previous transmissions outperforms each of the Binary Exponential Backoff Algorithm, the Smart Adaptive Backoff Algorithm and Pessimistic Linear Exponential Backoff Algorithm, up to 7.1%, 16.5% and 19% respectively in term of data delivery ratio.

Gostava da partilhar aqui uma passadela a pano sobre o sétimo álbum de Black Sabbath. Technical Ecstasy. Um álbum que, por não seguir a linha pesada dos seus antecessores, é alvo de fortes criticas negativas no panorama do Heavy Metal e que por essas razões é geralmente esquecido. É ainda acusado de ser o "culpado" do futuro desmembramento da banda original, sendo que as drogas, o problema de sempre, tomou conta da orientação do estilo da banda, mas principalmente da desorientação do Ozzy que levou ao seu afastamento.
Bem, mas eu não partilho da mesma opinião, sendo que admito a falta do habitual poder da trevas… Mas o álbum está excelente, porque uma banda como esta não faz coisas más. Faz diferente. Faz parte da evolução natural e sentido experimentador que grandes músicos têm a necessidade de seguir. As pessoas é que não estão preparadas para isto.
Este álbum é a minha droga… o meu Ecstasy!
Retirei daqui a "review", que me parece justa e ajustada também àquilo que penso:
411’s Dan Marsicano is looking at one of the most underappreciated albums in Black Sabbath’s catalog, 1976’s Technical Ecstasy. What happened to the band who turned out classic album after classic album? Is Technical Ecstasy as bad as Black Sabbath fans think it is?
Welcome, all my followers, to the 16th edition of What The Hell
Happened To. Yep, I’m still keeping count. Not only am I keeping count
of the editions, but I’m also counting down the days until my official
one year anniversary at 411mania. For those wondering, its 37 days away!
I got some good responses on last week’s column, so I’m hoping for
the same, or even more, this time. Actually, I can basically guarantee
this edition will get people talking, as I am going to discuss Black
Sabbath’s 1976 album Technical Ecstasy.
After the success of 1975’s Sabotage, the band went back in the
studio a year later to start recording a new album. This album would be
radically different from their previous albums, with drugs and too much
experimentation with their music starting to become a hindrance.
Technical Ecstasy would turn out to be a commercial and critical
failure, with many fans not liking the band with a more hard rock sound
to it. After the release of Technical Ecstasy, Black Sabbath slowly
fell apart until lead singer Ozzy Osbourne left in 1979.
So, why all the hate on Black Sabbath’s seventh studio album? Is it
really as bad as people think it is? It’s time to ask the question:
What The Hell Happened To Technical Ecstasy?
Geezer Butler-Bass Guitar
Bill Ward-Drums, Lead Vocals on "It’s Alright"
The Track Listing
1. Back Street Kids-3:47
2. You Won’t Change Me-6:42
3. It’s Alright-4:04
5. All Moving Parts (Stand Still)-5:07
6. Rock N’ Roll Doctor-3:30
7. She’s Gone-4:58
8. Dirty Women-7:13
Black Sabbath was formed from the remains of two separate bands. The
original line up for the band had Ozzy, Tony, Bill, and Geezer together
alongside slide guitarist Jimmy Phillips and saxophonist Alan "Aker"
Clarke. The band’s name was first The Polka Tulk Blues Company before
the band shortened it to Earth.
Earth played a lot of cover songs and was more into the lengthy
blues jams that dominated the late 60’s. Eventually, the band decided
to change their name to Black Sabbath, named after a Boris Karloff
movie that was playing in the theater across the street from the band’s
With the name change came the evolution of the band’s sound. The
lyrics and music were much darker than before, mixing crushing riffs
with lyrics on the occult and evil demons. Their self titled debut,
released on February 13th, 1970, would go on to sell over a million
copies in the US alone and would later be named one of the greatest
debut albums of all time.
band wasn’t satisfied with just touring for a year or so off of the
debut album. Black Sabbath quickly went back into the studio in June of
1970 to work on the sophomore album Paranoid. I think we all know about
the great success of this album. While critics did pan it at the time,
Paranoid is now considered a highly influential album.
The band would begin down a drug-influenced stage, where
experimentation would reign supreme. After the successful 1971 Master
of Reality and 1972’s Black Sabbath Vol. 4, the band began to feel the
effects of the constant drug taking. The drugs would not only have an
effect on the band’s sound, but the chemistry they originally had.
1973’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath saw a greater increase of keyboards,
orchestration, and even synthesizer driven songs ("Who Are You?").
1975’s Sabotage is my personal favorite Black Sabbath album, as it
shows the band at its heaviest ("Symptom of the Universe") and their
most melodic ("Megalomania"). The band toured successfully under this
album, and a year later, the band would return to the studio to record
their most diverse album yet.
The influence that Black Sabbath had on metal music can’t be
underestimated. Without Black Sabbath, there wouldn’t be many of the
bands we have today. Like every band, Black Sabbath had its ups and
downs throughout its almost 40 year career. To me, the late 70’s was an
interesting period for Black Sabbath.
You had a band that could basically do no wrong. A band that was on
a thin line when it came to controlling their drug and alcohol
problems, while trying to experiment with their sound without offending
their long time fans. With Technical Ecstasy, Black Sabbath crossed
that line and never looked back. Too bad the fans didn’t follow them,
as this album and 1978’s Never Say Die would be considered the worst
albums the band has done with Ozzy as the lead singer. Technical
Ecstasy is the beginning of the end for the original line up of Black
Sabbath, but there are some decent ideas behind the internal struggles
the band was going through.
"Back Street Kids" is the first sign that the band’s sound has
dramatically changed. The song is very upbeat and sounds like it should
belong on a UFO album. Iommi’s guitar work is still great, but the song
turns out to be only decent. A weird keyboard section in the middle of
the song reminds me of early Rush. I was waiting for Geddy Lee to wail
"BACK STREET KIDS."
Won’t Change Me" is the only song on the entire album that harkens back
to Black Sabbath’s doom metal roots. The song is slow, plodding, and
dark as hell. The keyboards heighten the mood immensely and add to the
song. I wish the album had more songs like this, as I think this would
have been a fine balance of their classic sound with some
experimentation. A special notice has to be made to Tony Iommi again,
as his solo at the end is a personal favorite of mine.
After the solid doom metal song, the album takes a weird turn. "It’s
Alright" is Black Sabbath trying to be the Beatles. I looked at the
credits to make sure that Paul McCartney or John Lennon didn’t write
it. "It’s Alright" also features drummer Bill Ward on lead vocals. Ward
does a decent job, but I’m glad he didn’t quit his real job in the
band. The acoustic solo at the end is very tasteful and helps to save
the song from mediocrity.
"Gypsy" starts out with a Ward solo before the song goes through the
motions for five minutes. Of course, the guitar work is awesome, but
nothing really stood out from the song. "All Moving Parts (Stand
Still)" is one of the better tracks on Technical Ecstasy, with the band
adding a little blues to the hard rock. Geezer Butler can finally be
heard on this song, as his bass seems to stay in the background for
most of the tracks on Technical Ecstasy. The blues sound works for
Black Sabbath and Bill Ward gets in his best performance of the album
in the fast middle section, where his fills are frequent and
"Rock N’ Roll Doctor" is Black Sabbath trying to sound like Styx or
Blue Oyster Cult. That’s not a bad thing, mind you; I enjoy this song a
lot. I don’t know why I like it though. It might be the catchiness of
the song, the subtle piano work in the background, or the fact that
it’s just so radically different from anything Black Sabbath has ever
"She’s Gone" is the other ballad on the album and is much better
than "It’s Alright." The song uses a full piece orchestra and a heavy
use of acoustic guitars. The song is very dark, arguable the darkest
ballad the band has ever done. Ozzy’s voice holds up and he actually
sounds decent on here. At least he sounds better than he did in
"Dirty Women" is the longest song on Technical Ecstasy and is the
song that sounds like Black Sabbath the most. The song has an epic feel
to it and the band seems to get all this energy and motivation
basically out of nowhere. "Dirty Women" is Tony Iommi’s song. What do I
mean? While he has some great solos throughout Technical Ecstasy, I
never felt as if he was the dominant force on the album, with outside
elements getting in the way (keyboards, orchestration, piano, drummer
singing, etc.). With "Dirty Women," it’s just Iommi doing what he does
best; play some crushing riffs and solo his ass off, especially the two
and a half minute solo that ends the song.
Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t sing as well as he did on Sabotage, but his
voice still has some power behind it. Technical Ecstasy would be the
decline of his vocals though, as drugs would take their toll on his
What else can be said about Tony Iommi that hasn’t already been
said? Even on a lesser Black Sabbath album, Iommi still kicks the crap
out of most guitarists. His riffs are still fresh and his solos are
still great. Geezer Butler seems to get pushed to the background, which
is a shame, considering his high level of skill. Finally, Bill Ward
does a decent job on the drums. It isn’t his best performance, but it
is far from his worst. I would have liked to see more creativity with
his drumming, as he doesn’t do anything too fancy other than the middle
section of "All Moving Parts (Stand Still)."
Technical Ecstasy is much better than most people perceive it to be.
I enjoyed this album a lot when I first heard it and I still do to this
day. There is no way that Technical Ecstasy can compare to their past
catalog, but it is actually much better than some of their later output
(Forbidden and Never Say Die are just a few examples). It’s a shame
that the pressures of substance abuse and record labels got to the
band, as I believe that Technical Ecstasy could have been a much better
album with more effect and a little motivation. For now, Technical
Ecstasy will always be known as the album that began the downfall of
the original line up of Black Sabbath.

By "best" I don't mean "most realistic", I mean the best. As see on Topless Robot.
that is awesome. They should do the FFVII remake in HD looking like that. That would be the most true remake.
Right - and here I was thinking it was a Dragon Ball cosplay
That guy is awesome. This is, indeed, the best FFVII cosplay.
Now that's smart. Awesome stuff.

INQUEST | The inquest into the death of Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim today witnessed a demonstration of what could have happened to the firefighter in the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple riots, with an Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) van brought to the Coroner's Court in Shah Alam.
The van, however, was not the same vehicle involved in the incident on Nov 27 last year.
The demonstration, which started at 10.30am and lasted for almost 30 minutes, was conducted by Kuala Lumpur Hospital forensic expert Dr Ahmad Hafizam Hasmi, the inquest's 24th witness.
The demonstration was aimed at strengthening Hafizam's theory on the broken ribs suffered by Adib after he was hit by the EMRS van during the riots.
Coroner Rofiah Mohamad was also shown how the van had reversed according to the witness’s findings.
It is understood that the EMRS van reversed at a speed of 17kmh, similar to the situation on the night of the incident.
'Not caused by van door'
Hafizam (photo) later testified that the injuries sustained by Adib were not caused by the left door of the EMRS van he was in.
He said this could be determined even without conducting an experiment, as it was clear from clinical examination and the postmortem.
"The injuries on the victim’s right chest were likely caused by a blunt, hard and wide object with a rough surface, and could have been the road shoulder, obstruction object or any other objects on the scene,” he said.
The witness said this when replying to questions by lawyer Mohd Kamaruzaman A Wahab, who is representing Adib's family, on the 34th day of the inquest.
Previously, Hafizam said he had carried out an experiment on the cause of Adib’s injuries to refute the theories presented by retired pathologist Dr Shahrom Abd Wahid.
Shahrom, the 29th witness, had testified that the injuries on Adib’s chest may have been caused by the EMRS van door.
Hafizam, who was recalled to testify again, said he could not explain the real cause of the victim’s injuries, unless he was by Adib's side at the scene, and when the victim passed away.
“What specific object caused the bruises on the right chest of the victim, I cannot explain, because we are working ‘blind’, as no eyewitness came forward to give clues (on the incident),” he said.
Hafizam did not agree to Kamaruzaman’s suggestion that as a forensic expert, he was trained to peel off the skin, layer by layer of a dead body during the postmortem process.
He explained that if this act was done, it would disfigure the body.
“We, as far as possible, would try to prevent damage on the body, but I did tear tissues and muscles to see the bruises on the victim’s body,” he said.
Hafizam stressed even though he did not slice every skin layer of the body to identify bruises, that did not mean he did not conduct a thorough examination.
Adib, a member of the Subang Jaya Fire and Rescue Station EMRS Unit, who was seriously injured in the riots last year, died on Dec 17 at the National Heart Institute.

‘lrosa has appointed Nikolay Gorokhov head of its Vladivostok division.
Gorokhov, who began working for Alrosa in 2001 in its Yakutsk Diamond Trading Company, will be responsible for rough-diamond sales in Vladivostok, the Russian miner said last week. He will also oversee logistics, Chinese market research and increasing the division’s efficiency.
Gorokhov replaces Semyon Lavrentiev, who has managed the division since 2018. Lavrentiev will take over as head of Alrosa’s Diamond Sorting Center in Mirny.
“My congratulations to Nikolay Gorokhov on his appointment,” said Alrosa deputy CEO Evgeny Agureev. “He will continue working with customers from Asia Pacific and strengthening [the] positive image of Alrosa.”
Alrosa established its Vladivostok division in 2016, and the first rough diamonds from the branch were sold in August of that year.’

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has cleared a Toronto police officer of any wrongdoing after he shot a fleeing suspect in the North York last spring.
The investigation concluded that the officer “did not exceed the bounds of legally justifiable force” upon confronting the suspect, SIU director Tony Loparco said in a released statement.
The officer was part of a team responding to a spate of shootings in front of a Toronto community housing complex near Jane St. and Driftwood Ave. on the evening of April 16.
In the incident, four men approached a group of people and opened fire at them around 6 p.m. before fleeing in a dark-coloured car. The officers managed to track and box the vehicle in a short while later, near Elmhurst Dr. and Cromarty Dr.
Three of the vehicle’s occupants were arrested without incident after running from the trapped car. However, a fourth man who also fled the vehicle encountered the subject officer on the front lawn of a nearby house, where he was then shot twice by the officer.
The man was transported in non-life-threatening condition to hospital for gunshot injuries to his right elbow, chest and back.
“The officer would have had every reason to believe that the man had just been involved in a shooting and was armed with a firearm and prepared to use it,” said Loparco.
“I am satisfied he would have been fearful for his life at the time of his firearm discharges.”
According to Loparco, the officer shouted at the suspect to drop his weapon prior to the shooting. A Colt 1911 pistol was found on the lawn within close proximity of the injured suspect in the investigation.
The SIU assigned eight investigators and three forensic investigators to the case. The investigation also included statements from other officers, civilians at the scene, radio communications, DNA evidence and video recordings.
The SIU is an independent provincial body investigating incidents involving police and death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.

An early morning walk to the Byron Bay lighthouse is a great way to start the day. The sunrises are spectacular and you can often see sharks, sea turtles, whales, dolphins and stingrays in the water. Sea eagles and ospreys are just two of the bird species that can be seen on your walk plus if you are very quiet, you will probably see a wallaby or two nibbling grass beside the track.
Here is my watercolour painting of Byron Bay lighthouse – purchased by a honeymooning English couple who were married in a lighthouse and who collect pictures of lighthouses.
I live near the ocean in Byron Bay and love to explore rock pools at low tide. One of my favourite seaweeds is sea lettuce. It is so beautifully green and feels beautiful to touch. I have used cling wrap on a damp pale green watercolour wash to create the effect of sea lettuce.

i did not have the feeling that in spite of the thinner gauge i was getting more spin, a really rather unorthodox situation, but this could have been due to the fact that the mains were not really sliding back at all, right from the very beginning. could surely be also related to the fact that i had a multi as cross and not a poly, but i assume that with a poly the fel would have been even more unbearable. i have tried some multi-mains/poly-crosses hybrids this summer and have not had any satisfactory results at all.
My suspicion is that the Multi had a huge part to do with it. Multi effectively neutralizes my spin strokes due to the nature of the string especially when used with Poly. From 1.10-1.30, I can see a huge difference in durability. I've played this setup plenty of times before (albeit with a different poly cross) and durability and spin has always been pretty solid. We'll see how it wears.

The Allure of Slot Machines
Slot machines have become a staple in many casinos and gambling establishments worldwide. They offer a unique and exhilarating gaming experience that keeps players coming back for more. But have you ever wondered why slot machines are so addictive? It turns out that the psychology behind their design plays a significant role in capturing and holding our attention.
The Power of Random Rewards
One of the key factors that make slot machines so enticing is the concept of random rewards. Unlike other forms of gambling, such as poker or blackjack, where skill and strategy play a role, slot machines rely purely on chance. This uncertainty creates an element of excitement, as players never know when they might hit the jackpot. Interested in discovering more about the topic? https://onlinecasino-krw.com, an external resource we’ve prepared to complement your reading.
Furthermore, slot machines often utilize a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement, meaning the rewards are given out unpredictably. This reinforcement pattern is highly effective in encouraging repetitive behaviors, as our brains become wired to seek out the next win. It’s this continuous cycle of uncertain rewards that keeps players immersed in the game, hoping for that big payout.
The Role of Visual and Auditory Stimuli
Another crucial aspect of slot machine design is the use of captivating visual and auditory stimuli. From flashing lights to catchy sound effects, casinos employ various tactics to grab our attention and keep us engaged. These multi-sensory experiences are carefully crafted to elicit a sense of excitement and anticipation.
For instance, the use of bright colors and visually appealing graphics on the slot machine screen helps to create an immersive environment. The spinning reels and the sound of coins dropping upon winning further enhance the overall gaming experience. These sensory cues trigger a dopamine release in our brains, intensifying the pleasure associated with playing the slots.
The Illusion of Control
One psychological phenomenon that slot machine designers often exploit is the illusion of control. Despite being entirely reliant on chance, players often perceive that they have some control over the outcome of their spins. This belief stems from the ability to choose the bet amount, the number of paylines, and the timing of each spin.
By providing players with these choices, slot machines give them the false impression that their actions directly influence the outcome. This perceived control leads to increased engagement and prolonged play sessions. It’s a clever manipulation technique that keeps players hooked, even when the odds are stacked against them.
The Role of Near Misses
Slot machine designers take advantage of another cognitive bias called the “near-miss effect” to keep players engaged. Near misses occur when the symbols on the reels align very closely to a winning combination, but fall just short. These near misses trigger a sense of frustration and encourage players to keep spinning in hopes of hitting the jackpot next time.
Studies have shown that near misses activate the same parts of the brain that are associated with winning. This neurological response intensifies the desire to continue playing, as players are driven by the belief that they were just one symbol away from a significant win. The near-miss effect is a powerful psychological tool that keeps players engaged and coming back for more.
The Future of Slot Machine Design
As technology continues to evolve, so does the field of slot machine design. Innovations such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are being explored to create even more captivating and immersive gaming experiences. These advancements will undoubtedly push the boundaries of what is possible, allowing players to interact with their favorite games in entirely new ways.
Additionally, the introduction of skill-based slot machines is on the rise. These machines combine elements of traditional slot gameplay with skill-based challenges, offering players a chance to influence the outcome of their spins. This merging of luck and skill adds a new layer of excitement and engagement to the slot machine experience.

Inulin (FOS) Powder
- Pure & clean powder
- Promotes regular digestive health
- Flour, fat & sugar substitute
Inulin FOS (fructooligosaccharide) is an energy source naturally produced in plants that is high in fiber and low in calories. Fiber can prolong the body's sense of fullness and slow digestion, allowing the body to absorb useful nutrients. In addition to stimulating the immune system and promoting digestive health, inulin can also help manage blood sugar and stimulate calcium absorption.
Also known as a fructooligosaccharide (acting as a prebiotic), inulin has about 10% the sweetness of sugar/sucrose. Inulin has also been used as a flour substitute in baked goods and a fat substitute in margarine. Natural inulin is frequently found in foods such as onions, garlic, bananas and wheat. This particular inulin supplement is derived from artichoke.
Serving Size & Timing
As a dietary supplement, take 2600 mg (1 tsp) one to three times daily with food or beverage, or as directed by a physician. To avoid stomach upset, begin with smaller doses.

Making IUI A Success
Intrauterine Insemination, or IUI, is a very tricky process and so many things have to go right to make it work. One of the main issues is that you will need to be monitored for signs that ovulation is near. This is sometimes done with a transvaginal ultrasound, a machine that helps your doctor to see your ovaries and egg growth progress. At other times, the monitoring process is done at home by the patient, using an at home kit that can predict ovulation by analyzing your urine.
Just prior to ovulation, the body releases luteinizing hormone (LH). If your ovulation cycle is normal, you can have insemination the day after this surge of LH. However, if you are being treated with medications that help induce ovulation, it's possible your physician will decide to give you an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to trigger ovulation. The insemination will be performed the next day.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that serves to stimulate egg growth and bring on ovulation. An injection of hCG is useful in the case where women aren't able to grow enough egg follicles. The eggs are released within 30-40 hours after the hormone is administered. Treatment with hCG assures that an egg will be present inside the ovary at the time of the IUI procedure.
Research has shown that the use of ovulation induction agents increases the success rate of IUI by 10%, a significant figure. Ovulation induction agents include clomiphene citrate (Clomid), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), or human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG). It's important to note that these agents should not be used in the case where the cause of infertility is unknown. These drugs are useful only in the case where ovulatory dysfunction of one type or another has been diagnosed.
Clomid is the first-line treatment for ovulation induction, since it is inexpensive and easy to administer. Clomid is an oral drug. One of the drawbacks of Clomid treatment is its tendency to thicken the cervical mucus, making it hostile to sperm, so that chances of a successful course of IUI are lowered.
If Clomid doesn't bring on ovulation, or causes counterproductive side effects, the next line of treatment is the class of drugs known as injectables, because they are administered through injection. In some cases, your doctor may refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist to oversee your treatment with these drugs.

14 March 2021
The European Pride Organisers Association has today written to the British Home Secretary and Justice Secretary to raise concerns that a proposed new law would allow for crackdowns on LGBTI+ Pride events.
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill will be debated in the House of Commons tomorrow (Monday 15 March), and clauses in the bill allow police officers to put a stop to any protest that causes disruption to ‘the activities of an organisation’ or causes ‘impact on persons in the vicinity’.
In the letter to the Secretaries of State, President of EPOA Kristine Garina states:
The proposed legislation would allow any police officer to halt a Pride parade or march if they deem that the parade or march is disrupting ‘the activities of an organisation’ or causes ‘impact on persons in the vicinity’. Pride parades and marches are by their very nature and history forms of protest and causing disruption, noise and impact – only for a few hours – is the fundamental point of the event.
Whilst we would always defend the right of anyone to protest peacefully and lawfully, we note that it is the more spontaneous protest that is the real target of this legislation, rather than Pride events which are the culmination of months of planning and liaison with authorities. Nevertheless, the wording of the bill would allow its interventions to be applied to a Pride event.
Concerns have also been raised that the bill, if enacted, would fall foul of the European Convention on Human Rights. The letter goes on: Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights protects the right to freedom of assembly and association. The European Court of Human Rights held (in Baczkowski and Others v Poland, 1543/06) in May 2007 that attempts to curtail a Pride parade constituted a breach of Articles 11, 13 and 14 of the Convention.
The Association, which has more than 40 member Prides in the UK, has regularly made interventions and written to governments – including in Poland and Hungary – to challenge legislation and attempts to use law to prevent Pride parades. The letter states that the Association does not expect to have to make such representations to the UK government which has for so long been a relative leader in LGBTI+ equality in Europe.
Kristine Garina said: “This shocking attempt to curtail basic human rights and freedoms must be amended to protect peaceful protest. Badly drafted legislation never works, and it appears that the UK government has either not considered the full implications of the new legislation, or doesn’t care. This is a threat to every LGBTI+ person in the country.”
The letter has also been sent to other parliamentarians including members of the Justice and Home Affairs Select Committees, and of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Global LGBT Rights.

Electricite de France SA, the world’s biggest operator of nuclear reactors, remains “on track” to start output at its first new atomic plant in the U.K. in 2018, according to Vincent de Rivaz, the head of its U.K. operations.
The utility, based in Paris, plans to build four reactors at the sites of existing nuclear stations at Hinkley Point in southwest England and at Sizewell in the southeast. It’s currently constructing its 59th domestic reactor at Flamanville in Normandy, which has been delayed by as much as two years, while a plant in China is on schedule.
In the U.K., where the company operates eight nuclear reactors after buying British Energy two years ago, EDF is “still on track to meet the overall timetable,” of generating electricity from a new reactor in 2018, de Rivaz, chief executive officer of EDF Energy Plc, said today.
“We are beginning to take the key decisions that will pave the way to our multibillion pound investment in the U.K.,” he said at a conference in London.
Utilities may spend as much as 6 billion pounds ($9.3 billion) per plant in Britain, Charles Hendry, the country’s minister of state for energy, said last month.
The Flamanville delay, which boosted costs by 25 percent to 5 billion euros ($6.4 billion), “allows us to capitalize on what we have learned” and the company is “applying lessons learned” in China, de Rivaz said today.
Hinkley Point, the first of the new plants, will boost the local economy by 100 million pounds every year during construction and employ 5,000 people, de Rivaz said. To date, the company has signed about 50 million pounds worth of contracts, the executive said.

While we’ve had our focus on one Space company that’s been stuck at the launch pad, another can’t seem to lift off – for different reasons – mainly software issues.
Boeing’s Starliner’s launch has been scrubbed 3 times
The CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, atop an Atlas V rocket, was returned to the Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) August 6th, where the Boeing and United Launch Alliance team’s started the assembly of support structures to access the vehicle’s Service Module.
The next launch opportunity is coming soon but engineers have not corrected some of the larger issues, like the “unexpected valve position indications in the Service Module’s propulsion system, which led to the scrub of Tuesday’s launch”,
If Boeing misses the August 15th launch window, the next opportunity isn’t until October.
There is no word on how long the inspections and corrections will take or when the next launch will be, but for now…Starliner is a no-fly. Meanwhile, SpaceX just assembled and disassembled the world’s largest rocket in a matter of days.

When your husband comes home offering to fix dinner, you graciously accept the offer.
You don’t question motive.
You don’t ask questions.
You say “Thank you”.
Last week, while suffering from the flu, Zach offered to make soup for dinner. He’s so good to me! But that isn’t what I was thinking when I walked through the kitchen and noticed the ingredients he had chosen: deer tenderloin, sauerkraut, 1 onion, and a bottle of whiskey. What kind of soup could this man possibly be making? I took a hot shower, dreading the meal to come. He served me dinner in the recliner and much to my surprise, it smelled delicious! And sure enough, there was sauerkraut in the broth. Who ever thought sauerkraut in soup was a good idea? Not me. Maintaining a straight face, I ate a spoonful. BEST DEER MEAT SOUP EVER! It’s like French Onion Soup with a tang and venison! YUM!
