Climate change on track to reduce ocean wildlife by 17%
Climate change is set to empty the ocean of nearly a fifth of all living creatures, measured by mass, by the end of the century, researchers have calculated.
In a world that heats up three to four degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, 17 per cent of marine biomass – from minuscule plankton to 100-tonne whales – will be wiped out, they reported in the US Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
To date, Earth's surface has warmed a full degree.
Bigger fish and marine mammals already devastated by overfishing, pollution and ship strikes will see especially sharp declines due to rising temperatures.
Even in a "best-case" scenario of limiting warming to 2C – the cornerstone target of the Paris climate treaty – the ocean's biomass will drop off by five percent.
Shallow-water corals, which harbour 30 per cent of marine life, are forecast to disappear almost entirely under these conditions.
Every additional degree will see the ocean biomass shrink by another 5 per cent. Earth is currently on course to be around 4C hotter by 2100.
"The future of marine ecosystems will depend heavily on climate change," says Junne-Jai Shin, a biologist at the French Institute for Development Research and one 35 experts from a dozen countries contributing to the study.
"Measures to protect biodiversity and fisheries management will need to be revisited."
Fortunately for life on land, oceans – which cover 70 per cent of Earth's surface – consistently absorb more than 20 per cent of the greenhouse gases humanity spews into the atmosphere.
But the accumulation of all that carbon dioxide has also made ocean water more acidic, threatening to upset the delicate balance of the marine food web.
'Dead zones'
Some regions will be hit much harder than others, the study found.
Climate change will reduce marine biomass by 40 to 50 per cent in tropical zones, where more than half-a-billion people depend on the ocean for their livelihood, and two billion use it as their main source of protein.
At the same time, the concentration of life at the poles would likely increase, potentially offering new sources of food.
The global population is set to expand from 7.3 billion today to nearly 10 billion in 2050, and to 11 billion by 2100, according to the United Nations.
"Up to now, the biggest threat has been overexploitation and the use of destructive fishing gear," says Callum Roberts, a marine conservation biologist and oceanographer at the University of York in England.
"But now, the biggest impact is switching over to climate change, and that is playing out in the sea."
The number of damaging marine heat-wave days has increased by more than half since the mid-20th century, according to a recent study in Nature Climate Change.
"Just as atmospheric heat waves can destroy crops, forests and animal populations, marine heat waves can devastate ocean ecosystems," lead author Dan Smale, a researcher at the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth, England, said at the time of publication.
A 10-week ocean heatwave off western Australia in 2011, for example, shattered the local underwater ecosystem and pushed commercial fish species into colder waters.
'The blob'
A year-long marine heat spell off the coast of central and northern California – known as "the blob" – killed off large swathes of seagrass meadows and kelp forests, along with the fish and abalone that depend on them.
Another consequence of higher air temperatures is to thicken the ocean's top layer of warmer water, which results in oxygen-depleted zones bereft of life, Roberts explains.
These "dead zones" are also caused by nitrogen-rich runoff from agriculture around
estuaries and along coastal areas.
Researchers at Louisiana State University estimated this week that a dead zone spreading at the mouth of the Mississippi River will cover a 23,000-square-kilometre area, and will be the second largest ever recorded in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Reading: The Rosie Project, by Graeme Simsion. Monk is one of my favorite TV shows, and this book reminds me of a romantic comedy starring Adrian Monk. I know that sounds weird, but I can't help but see similarities. The main character in this book has Asperger syndrome, not OCD or lots of phobias, but his social awkwardness, routines, and thought processes remind me so much of Monk. I'm really enjoying it so far...I'd heard good things about it, but it's funnier than I expected.
Knitting: It looks like I haven't made any progress since last time, but this is the second sock, ha. And it's almost finished, just the toe left!
Socks have a funny way of doing that! But it does look quite nice and full of sock joy!
I loved that book! So funny!
I enjoyed both books, and look forward to the next one in the series.
I suffer from single sock syndrome and can't seem to get into knitting socks, even though I know I would love to wear them.
Oh, I didn't realize there are going to be more books! That's exciting. Maybe someday your SSS will disappear. :) I've had problems finishing the second sock a couple of times, but in general I love sock knitting.
what funky yarn you are using!
Thanks, I really like red and turquoise, too!

Dougie Hamilton's heroics push surging Devils past Golden Knights
By Nick Ivan Last updated Jan 25, 2023
Overtime is becoming the norm for the New Jersey Devils and nobody is enjoying it more lately than Dougie Hamilton.
Hamilton scored late to tie the game and netted a power-play goal with 1:06 left in overtime to lead the Devils to a 3-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night at Prudential Center in Newark.
It marked the second straight game that Hamilton has provided the game-winner in the extra five minutes for New Jersey, which has now played four straight overtime games (3-1).
"I was just trying to get another shot today, the same as last game, just trying to let it rip and see what happens," said Hamilton, whose goal Sunday gave New Jersey a 2-1 win.
What was lost in the celebration was the play by star center Jack Hughes along the boards. He was hit and seemed to set up the goal with a pass while on his stomach.
Dougie Hamilton (r.) of the Devils celebrates his game-winning overtime goal against the Vegas Golden Knights with Michael McLeod on Tuesday night.
"Obviously a great play by Jack, just laid it on a platter for me," said Hamilton, whose 13th goal came on the Devils' only power play.
Ondrej Palat also scored and Vitek Vanecek made 28 saves as the Devils improved to 7-0-1 in their last eight games. Vanecek has won a career-best eight games in a row, becoming New Jersey's first goalie to do that since Martin Brodeur in 2007-08.
Vanecek also picked up his first career assist on Hamilton's game winner.
Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton scores the game winning game past Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson on Tuesday night.
"He has great shot and when he shoots it, it's a rocket," said Vanecek, who is now 20-5-1 for the season.
Ben Hutton and William Karlsson scored for the Golden Knights, who are 2-5-1 in their last eight games. Rookie All-Star Logan Thompson had 35 saves for Vegas. Both of the Devils' goals in regulation hit off a Vegas defenseman, with Hamilton's first going in off Brayden McNabb.
"I just lost it," Thompson said. "It's an unacceptable goal for me. They score in the first four minutes and the last minute. That's on me I have to be better."
Hutton was in the penalty box for tripping when Hamilton netted his 13th goal of the season and ended the game with a shot from between the circles. He also scored in overtime on Sunday to allow New Jersey to beat Pittsburgh.
Hutton and Karlsson had given the Golden Knights a 2-1 lead with goal less than three minutes apart in the second period.
Palat gave the Devils the lead 3:58 after the opening faceoff. He took a drop pass from Nico Hischier and got lucky when his shot in close was deflected by defenseman Kaedan Korczak and fluttered over Thompson's waving glove.

In the modern world, it would be possible for one to observe that there would be many products. These products would make our lives easier and would make it possible for us to solve many practical matters. For an average person, it would just be a matter of going to the store, paying the relevant amount and buying the products. However, it is a fact that there is so much more towards the production of goods than it meets the consumers' eye. There would be a big process involved which would allow one to finish the product in such a manner where it would come to the quality that one wants to have.
Quality would be a matter that is important to both the manufacturer and the customer. Hence, it should be clear to one that much attention should need to be directed towards manufacturing goods with the best possible quality. There are so many types of industries today. One industry would be much different from another, and it would be necessary for one to understand that the procedures that are involved with these industries would also differ. As an example, when it comes to the manufacturing of lights, one would have to pay attention to manufacturing them in clean rooms that are dust and particle free and with the use of clean room lights, much could be obtained. Likewise, it would be important for the manufacturer to pay attention to the industrial standards the product could be manufactured in, as it would play a clear role in ensuring the quality of the product. It would not be possible for a certain manufacturer to attend to the matters of manufacturing alone.
There would need to certain goods that would need to be utilized. As an example, it could be observed that there are various types of stainless steel hatches that would come of use in various occasions over many manufacturing plants. Giving your manufacturing plants, the necessary resources would allow one to maintain the standard of the area which will have an impact on the quality of the finished product.
Manufacturing the goods in the best quality would let the manufacturer have many advantages. It would be possible for the manufacturer to have a competitive edge in the modern market. As the customers get used to the quality products, the reputation that your brand would have would simply bring in so much profit as well. Investing in manufacturing in the best quality would always be worth the outcome that he manufacturer would gain from doing so.
If you are at a demolition site, you must always keep in mind that there is room for danger. Since you will be dealing with heavy machinery and massive equipment, you need to be careful of the procedures in the site. If you want everything to go smoothly, you must avoid certain rookie errors at all costs. The following are some such mistakes that you need to look out for.
Before you proceed with anything, it is essential for you to conduct a feasibility study on the project. You need to have a basic idea about what can go wrong during the demolition. In this case, you must attempt to do a thorough feasibility study to make sure that you know what might happen. Therefore, make sure to ask your team to do this.
You cannot jump right into the project without checking whether the equipment is working properly. If there is something wrong with any of the machines in the site, you need to look into it immediately. Using damaged equipment is not only unsafe, but it is against the law as well. So, if your demolition grab is damaged, you immediately need to look for a demolition grab for sale. This way, no one's life will be in danger.
It does not matter whether it is a bag of cement or hydraulic grabs, you must always opt for high quality products. Of course, purchasing low quality products will be so much cheaper and convenient. However, remember that they are not going to last for long. So, this will not be a cost-effective investment. Moreover they can get easily damaged and lead to serious safety concerns.

The gas station or the fuel station is nothing new in your life. As you travel on the road, seeing these gas station has become routine; and also, if you own a car, it is not a foreign activity for you to go to the gas station to constantly pump fuel into your vehicle whenever necessary. Therefore, gas stations have become a part of our lives as the years passed by, even though these fuels are diminishing at a high rate at present. However, even though you do make constant trips to the gas station, there are certain factors that are not evident in the surface and here are some of those interesting factors for your knowledge.
What is going on underneath?
The final statement made above has a literal meaning as most of the actual functions of the gas station are not evident on the surface. In fact, most of it takes place underneath this location and you may never have even noticed. The fuel that is pumped into your vehicle has to be stores somewhere. Have you ever wondered where they might be storing them? You haven't, have you? Here is your answer! The many gallons that come in thousands are stored underground in tanks so that they can be easily pumped in to the vehicles of the customer. Amazing isn't it?
Do you think that gas stations are rich or poor? Do you think that they earn many dollars everyday? Truth is, the famous place that pumps energy to your car through a fuel hose does not make much money through this activity. Why? Once the operating costs and taxes have been deducted, the owners only receive a very low amount of money for this service. Therefore, always keep in mind not to judge them and to always be kind as they truly are providing you a generous service.
These gas pumps are much different from a regular chemical hose pipe and the most important detail that you need to keep in mind is that they are not always accurate. Yes, you may have been paying more or less for the service that you received at the gas station by trusting the gas pump which is most of the time considered to be inaccurate. Many states and countries have implemented a method of testing this and ensuring that customers are aware of which pumps can be trusted by the indication of a sticker. Keep an eye for that!
The location for a gas station is not always picked at random. On the contrary, it is considered through scientific reasons. Some of the most common ones are regarding the minimum size requirement fulfilment, the traffic state of the area as well as the population.
Therefore, do not always believe what is evident in the surface as gas stations too have their little secrets.

In the most of the cities and towns, due to lack of sufficient space people need to have the many floored apartments instead of free houses. It can save the space and safe for the people. In the case of individual homes, it can be easy to perform the essential maintenance activities. But in the apartments, it is not possible for the people to carry out operations individually. In the high rise apartments, many flats are there on each floor, and thousands of people reside in these spaces.
So the water consumption can be extremely high in such spaces. In such places, they need to install huge tanks with automatic water flow control system. The system needs to have dual plate check valves that can help them in controlling the flow at certain levels. A huge number of water pipes and regulating valves are available in such apartments, and it cannot be possible for any ordinary plumber to deal with the water supply issues unless they can have an idea of the total system. The valves can help in streamlining the flow and make it possible to provide water to all the flats without any issues. Nowadays, the builders are coming up with many facilities like highly infrastructure gym, swimming pools, health care and fitness centers. People in these apartments can avail all these services by paying a minimum amount for their maintenance. People come across various issues like garbage collection, waste water management, and pets, etc.
It can be the right of any individual to perform the things as per their wish. But at the same time, it should not cause damage to the others privacy. In the case of apartments, it is not possible to perform their tasks as it can cause disturbance to their neighbours. So people can have some restrictions to maintain the peace and stability in the apartments. They need to choose a team for performing the maintenance activities. Especially when the water supply is not under proper maintenance, they can face various issues. By using the swing check valves, they can resist the flow and systematize the water supply to all the flats without any issues. In case if people in these spaces are not willing to perform such activities, they can hire the third party services to do the maintenance activities. They need to check the water supply chain and have to monitor the parking spaces. It can be the responsibility of the maintenance team to handle the payment activities relating to power bill water, water bill and other taxes, etc. In the high rise apartments, it cannot be possible to take the stairs to all the floors and so it can be mandatory to have the alternative power supply system in case of sudden failures.
You need to make sure that the warehouse can withstand the huge load of the items that you will be storing. Therefore, it is essential that you use a material that is hard, produced in high quality and will bring in the best from the warehouse that you are constructing, the ideal fit for the right material is timber pallets.

Therefore, it is best that you invest on used pallets Melbourne to be used in the warehouse. Since the quality and the function are the same, there is not a single reason why you need to worry.
Proper organisation is what keeps a warehouse going. If you are willing to gain a fast and a reliable outcome from the warehouse, you need to make sure that it is organised in the right proper manner. When it comes to organising, you can simply colour code, label, arrange according to size or do whatever that you are comfortable with. With proper organisation, if you are capable making the loading and the unloading processes much easier and efficient, you have the chance of gaining 100% from the warehouse.

Arburg goes live on air in 2021!
The world of plastics can already look forward to the New Year: on 28 January 2021, Arburg will be launching another new digital format. arburgXvision will go on air monthly from then on. The interactive live broadcasts covering all aspects of plastics processing will shed light on important topics closely related to customers.
Presentations and clips will explore the topics from different angles. And presenter Guido Marschall from plastics broadcaster Plas.TV will discuss the highlights with top experts who will also answer participants' questions live. Kicking off the series is the topic "0 ppm production of plastic parts".
Digital events have come a long way during this period of coronavirus, as they offer people the opportunity to stay in touch in times of limited face-to-face meetings and also hold great potential for reaching a large number of people quickly, around the globe. "However, there is a serious risk that a flood of more or less well-designed digital events will quickly reduce interest," confidently Juliane Hehl, who as Managing Partner of Arburg is responsible for the marketing department. If quality and information content leave something to be desired, the interest of recipients will quickly wane.
"But this will certainly not be the case with arburgXvision," promises Juliane Hehl. "We will make sure that our format of a digital themed day will offer participants clear added value in terms of knowledge transfer, which they will not get anywhere else. There will also be a reasonable amount of entertainment, so people can really have fun learning with this infotainment."
Based on these requirements, Arburg has launched its new digital format, as described by Juliana Hehl: "With arburgXvision, we want to fully exploit the digital potential to present exciting topics in a practical, concise and above all entertaining way once a month." The company is setting up its own Arburg studio offering the full range of technical, equipment and infrastructure options especially for this purpose.
The company has already gained initial experience of complex digital formats during its successful Arburg Summit: Medical. However, the new arburgXvision series will not be focusing on industries or processes, but on specific subjects relating to the everyday life of plastics processors. The first three programmes, for example, look at quality, availability and sustainability.
The respective topics will be presented by Arburg experts in a varied mix of expert presentations and clips, and then discussed interactively by allowing participants to ask their questions live. The events hosted by Guido Marschall will last about two hours.
And there's one new feature free of charge: the broadcast language will be German, but a second channel will offer simultaneous translation into English. You can find all information at www.arburg.com/info/arburgxvision, where you can also register for the event.

It's been making the rounds among league circles for the last week or so, but the New York Giants have finally found their new head coach.
The team announced the hiring of Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to their head coach position today, one day after he and the Vikings lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. Shurmur will replace Ben McAdoo, who was fired at the start of December.
The Vikings offense was blanketed by a fiery Eagles defense, but that didn't affect Shurmur's chances of getting the job, nor should it have. He turned the unit into one of the most productive in the NFL during 2017. They finished 11th overall in total offense and passing yardage, as well as 7th on the ground.
That's all the more impressive considering that the Vikings were starting a backup quarterback for the majority of the season. After Sam Bradford went down with an injury early in the year, Case Keenum stepped in and performed admirably under Shurmur, throwing for over 3,500 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Shurmur is experienced as well. After seven seasons with the Eagles as their QB's coach, he joined the Los Angeles Rams for two years as their OC. That led to him being hired to be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. His tenure didn't last long, however. Shurmur was fired at the end of 2012 after just two seasons and a 9-23 record.
Still, he kept at it, rejoining the Eagles as their OC for the next three years, briefly serving as their interim head coach following Chip Kelly's firing. He interviewed to stay on permanently but lost out to current head coach Doug Pederson. From there, he became the Vikings tight ends coach, getting promoted to OC this season after Norv Turner stepped down.
It's a move that makes a lot of sense for the Giants. They needed a seasoned coach to iron out their locker room issues and to revamp their offense. Their attention will now turn to the quarterback position. Will they keep Eli Manning around? Will Shurmur lure Keenum, a free agent, to East Rutherford? Or will they use the #2 pick in the draft on a long-term prospect? It'll be an interesting offseason for the boys in blue.
Check out Salute's offseason preview for the Giants here.

Want to be more creative?
Creativity is within your reach if you can cultivate the proper habits. You need to cultivate proper habits because connecting the dots and thinking creatively is a process for all of us. It's a long-term process rather than a single event. Those people who are more inclined to expose themselves to new ideas, people who don't mind embarrassing themselves, get to improve upon their creativity. Those people who wrestle with creative ideas for years get to refine their ideas and reap the fruits of their labors.
In an excellent post about creative thinking, writer James Clear exposes the myth that is the "eureka" moment, the so-called "light bulb" moment or the "aha!" moment. He demonstrates that a single flash of genius isn't really what it is made out to be by citing the most iconic eureka moment in the history of scientific storytelling: When Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple fall to the ground in 1666.
When you think of Isaac Newton, you probably imaging he was born a genius. But, he wasn't. When Newton was young, he did so poorly in grade school that his teachers gave up on improving his grades. And yet he grew up to become the greatest English mathematician of his generation. How did he do it? He kept improving himself throughout his life despite any ridicule and disapproval he faced.
"In 1666, one of the most influential scientists in history was strolling through a garden when he was struck with a flash of creative brilliance that would change the world.
However, what people fail to realize, Clear continues, is that Newton worked on his ideas about gravity for nearly twenty years. It wasn't until 1687 that he consolidated his brilliant thoughts and published his groundbreaking book, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.
"The falling apple was merely the beginning of a train of thought that continued for decades," Clear points out.
In other words, the real creative work, the connecting of the dots, the bridging of seemingly unrelated and obscure ideas happened between the years when he first got the flash of insight and when he published his iconic book. Creativity is a process, not a single event.
Judgment of our creative work or thoughts should not be feared. That judgment is a useful feedback metric. Creators need it because, without it, there is no opportunity to improve and make our ideas better. Without it, there is no verification of work completed. So, don't let fear of being ridiculed, embarrassed, or humiliated stop you in your tracks. Even Albert Einstein's work was criticized and rejected.
In the 1972 classic book Albert Einstein: Creator & Rebel, authors Banesh Hoffman (Einstein's former scientific assistant) and Hellen Dukas (Einstein's secretary for many years) reveal in the most intimately knowledgeable and touching way how the scientific community criticized, ridiculed, and rejected a patent clerk who published a revolutionary theory.
Though criticized and rejected, Einstein, the lowly theoretical physicist, wasn't discouraged. He pressed on with his creative work and as time went on, more and more scientists saw the validity and incomparable brilliance of his work and thoughts.
There will always be a critic who dislikes your work.
Every creative person worth his sorts will face critics. It's almost inevitable. And if you truly care about your work or ideas, you will experience creative uncertainty, doubt and fear many times, especially when releasing something new you've created to the world. Only those who stand firm and don't let fear of disapproval or embarrassment smother their creativity will rise and leave a mark in this world.
"Being in the top 1% of intelligence has no correlation with being fantastically creative," writes Clear. "Instead, you simply have to be smart (not a genius) and then work hard, practice deliberately and put in your reps." The most creative people share a willingness to labor in their craft, ship their best work, and respond to critics and the audience in a smart way that enhances their next creative cycle.
Remember, the risk of your work being judged, of making a fool of yourself, pales in comparison to the terror of inaction and regret of missed opportunities due to fear of being embarrassed.
Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Think about what it would be like to be embarrassed for exercising your creativity. Would it really be as bad or humiliating as you think it would be? In most cases, you'll find you're worried about things that aren't humiliating, disconcerting, or enduring. So, let go of your fears, embrace discomfort, and start creating.


sometimes I hang out with my friend who is not REALLY a Christian and they do not listen to Christian music.
I love to listen to the beat and the background music, but i try not to listen to the words (there not bad there just not christian). do you think that is fine, or should I stop listening to it altogether?
Thank you so much! I will keep your comment in mind!

Sir Hammerlocks Big Game Hunt
Throwback Thursday Review – DLC Remix – Borderlands 2 – Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
I'm just going to put this out there that Borderlands 2 is like my game. I know what I'm doing, I know the ins and out of the game, contrary to popular belief I know how to level up my character that works for me, and I single handedly took down Terramorphus to help someone power level. That being said, I've also played all of the DLC to 100% completion which if you enjoy the game isn't really that hard to do. Anyway, with Sir Hammerlock being one of my favorite characters I was excited to see a DLC revolving around just him. Keep reading to see if this DLC held up to my expectations that was set by the previous DLC.
Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt revolves around going on a hunting trip with the one and only Sir Hammerlock. He promises big game hunting, hence the title, but you'll be confronted by Professor Nakayama. Professor Nakayama isn't so pleased that you killed off Handsome Jack in the main campaign since he was kind of obsessed, maybe even in love, with him. So you're going to have to take care of this one more loose end. You'll have the professor to hunt down, some new monsters, and a few of the natives all ready for you to shoot and loot in a DLC that promises to be tons of fun.
While the DLC promises to be tons of fun, it sort of falls flat when you compare it to the other two DLC that came out before it. If you compare it to the DLC that comes out after it then you'll see this DLC as a complete failure. Don't get me wrong, in typical Borderlands fashion there's a ton to do, but it's just not fun or interesting. The maps are confusing as hell and you'll have to hoof it most of the way around not to mention the farming that is mandatory in order to complete one of the quests. Not the best DLC in the Borderlands 2 universe as it lacks a good story and the overall replayability.
Whether you play on the PS3 or the PS4, the playability is similar to the main campaign of the game. I will say that I had some crashing issues while playing this DLC on the PS3, but didn't have any issues on the PS4. Overall the game, including this DLC, was much more stable on the PS4. That being said if you've played Borderlands 2 then you'll know how to play this DLC since it of course fits into the universe.
The graphics are the same as the rest of the game, but I wasn't really digging the environments that were introduced in this DLC. I know they were going for the whole outdoors thing, but it just didn't feel like it fit into the Borderlands universe. It was a weird edition that I really didn't enjoy.
Finish this DLC and do everything it has to offer in order to get yourself another 3 trophies. The only problem you'll have is with the completion trophy. That's because one of the side missions in this DLC involves a bunch of farming and I can see some people saying screw this because it's a pain in the ass. If you're a trophy hunter you'll go ahead and do it then because you just can't have a DLC without having the 100% for it.
As with all of Borderlands, there is co-op for this DLC. I have to say that while I've had a blast playing not only the main campaign of the game with friends along with some of the DLC, this had to be the worst DLC to play with someone else. There was nothing really fun about playing with someone else as there was with the other DLC and it felt more like a chore. This time around I enjoyed breezing through this DLC all by myself. This is kind of sad in the Borderlands universe because I think we can all agree this game was never made with the intention that you should play by yourself.
Hmm…which console to play on: You probably already know I played this to completion on both the PS3 and the PS4. If I had to do it all over again…I would have rather saved my money and skipped the PS3 version and just play it on the PS4 since it was already included in the price. I'm going to say if you have both versions, skip the PS3 and just go for the PS4 to save yourself the hassel.
Overall I give this DLC a 2 out of 5.
+ It was good to see a classic character from Borderlands 2 getting his own DLC.
+ You get to take down one more of Handsome Jack's posse, but will it be the last?
– Not that strong of a story in the universe of Borderlands 2 DLC.
– Get's boring really fast with tedious tasks that have you running all over the place and a bunch of farming, but not the fun kind.
– Environments that feel like they don't really belong in Borderlands.
Not the strongest DLC for Borderlands 2 at all. The overall DLC just felt like it was missing some crucial element that the other DLC had and it made it not as fun to play. This was one of those DLC's that I was content with just playing the once and that was it because I didn't need to play it anymore or feel the need to go back and farm some of the boss battles. If you just have to play this DLC to see for yourself I would suggest playing on the PS4 since it's included in the package.
Now for next week, sadly the Borderlands 2 DLC is coming to a close. After the disappointing DLC that came out I was a little weary about the next DLC until I heard that it was a Tiny Tina DLC. Like Sir Hammerlock, Tiny Tina was one of those new Borderlands 2 characters that you couldn't just but just fall in love with because she's this psychotic little 13 year old who has the craziest things to say and some of the more memorable moments in the whole game. Next week I'll let you know what I thought about Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon's Keep.

Dovercourt friendly
More than 40 players and supporters from Brentwood Bowling Club travelled by coach for the first-ever friendly against Dovercourt on Sunday 11th September 2016.
The party arrived in the Essex seaside resort at around 10.30am and made the most of a superb sunny day by exploring the waterfront and its facilities. The more adventurous walked a couple of miles into historic Harwich where 5,000 bikers were being welcomed at the end of the 17th annual Essex Air Ambulance Motorcycle Run.
Two players got back to the bowling club with just a couple of minutes to spare after a serious road accident led to road closures at Phoenix Bridge in Harwich as 999 services including an air ambulance crew dealt with the incident.
WINNING RINK: From left, Geoff Byatt, Pam Robinson, Maureen Murrell, Rose Collins and Brian Martin.
The game got under way on time with six rinks in play and after 21 ends of nip and tuck, the host club snatched victory by 123 to 120 shots.
At a post-match tea in the pavilion, Dovercourt president Ben Vernaven proposed a toast to the visitors saying: "As a club, it is the first time we have met and I think it has been successful."
He added with a smile: "I haven't seen any fighting on the green – only laughter – so it must have been successful."
Brentwood men's captain Richard Rose responded and gave a special vote of thanks to Brentwood ladies' captain Margaret Rayment for organising the outing.
He presented gifts to players on his highest winning rink – skip Geoff Byatt, Maureen Murrell (three), Brian Martin (two), and leads Rose Collins and Pam Robinson who each played half a game.
Richard wryly dismissed any possible suggestion that the victors may have been helped by the fact that Brentwood's Kate Davies had stepped in to skip for the losing opposition team who were a player short.
The other Brentwood teams were:Trevor Watson, Brenda Watson, Ron Jolly and Ron Lofts (skip); Patrick Miller, Joan Stevenson, Ann Powell and Fred Wasmuth (skip); Ken Collins, Marion Lofts, Derek Robinson and Maureen Jaycock (skip); Pam Baker, Cliff Jaycock, Sandra Fenton and Richard Rose (skip); Daphne Gilbert, Kath Jolly, Barbara Morrish and Byron Davies (skip).

Q: Is String X a sub sequence of String Y Java Question copied from https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/5529/is-string-x-a-subsequence-of-string-y
T
Given strings X and Y, determine whether X is a subsequence of Y. The empty string is regarded as a subsequence of every string. (E.g., '' and 'anna' are subsequences of 'banana'.)
Is their any function already in Java or some common library which does this ?
Input
X, a possibly-empty case-sensitive alphanumeric string
Y, a possibly-empty case-sensitive alphanumeric string
Output
True or False (or equivalents), correctly indicating whether X is a subsequence of Y.
I/O examples

*

*''    'z00'   True

*'z00'  'z00'  True

*'z00'  '00z0'   False

*'aa'   'anna'   True

*'anna' 'banana' True

*'Anna' 'banana' False

A: You could use regexes to check that the sequence is contained in your search string (and using a replace to interleave your search characters with the wildcard .*):
     String x = "anna";
     String y = "banana";
     x = x.replace("", ".*");  //returns .*a.*n.*n.*a.*

     System.out.println(y.matches(x));  // returns true

A: Did you look at the String class? y.contains(x) should do all or nearly all of what you require.
I just saw you don't need the sequence grouped. No existing function will do what you want but its reasonably easy to write something:
boolean stringContains(String container, String contents) {
   // start at the start of both strings
   int rpos = 0;
   int cpos = 0;
   // Scan through till we reach the end of either string
   while (rpos<container.length() && cpos<contents.length) {
       // If they match advance both counts, otherwise just
       // move on through the container
       if (container.charAt(rpos) == contents.charAt(cpos)) {
           rpos++;
           cpos++;
       } else {
           rpos++;
       }
   }

   // If we reached the end of the contents string then we have a match
   return cpos==contents.length;
}

A: You need to remove duplicated characters from both strings, and then you can use String#contains to check for subsequences.

A: You could use a regex for this:
public boolean subsequence(String superString, String subString) {
    StringBuilder sb = (".*");
    for (char c : subString.toCharArray()) {
        sb.append(c);
        sb.append(".*");
    }
    return superString.matches(sb.toString());
}

This just inserts .* between every character in your matching String, including the beginning and the end.

Thirty years ago, at 12:04 AM on Good Friday, March 24, 1989, the oil tanker EXXON VALDEZ ran aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound in Alaska. Underwater rocks tore huge holes in eight of the single-hull tanks holding crude oil. As a result, the tanker spilled 10.8 million gallons of oil into the Sound and "oiled" 1300 miles of shoreline.
EXXON VALDEZ, built in 1986, left the Trans Alaska Pipeline Terminal in the Port of Valdez about three hours earlier. The tanked was owned by Exxon Shipping Company. The captain of the of the tanker was Joseph Hazelwood, a 1968 graduate of New York Maritime College with over 20 years of experience, including experience as an oil tanker captain.
The tanker was carrying 53 million gallons of crude oil headed for Long Beach, California. The course was west out of Port of Valdez, southward through the Valdez Narrows, into the Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska, and eventually into the Pacific Ocean heading south along the California coast.
When the tanker left the oil terminal, harbor pilot William Murphy was in charge of the navigation. He took the EXXON VALDEZ through the Valdez Narrows towards the Prince William Sound. Murphy left the tanker after passing through the narrows, and Captain Hazelwood took command.
Because there were icebergs in the designated shipping lanes, Hazelwood navigated the EXXON VALDEZ outside of those lanes as a safety measure. Hazelwood then turned over command to third mate Gregory Cousins, left the bridge, and went below to his quarters. Cousins failed to change course to take the EXXON VALDEZ back into the shipping lanes. The tanker ran aground just west of Bligh Island, and rocks ruptured the tanks.
Exxon's initial response to the spill was slow. An emergency containment crew did not arrive until 14 hours after the tanker ran aground, and no boom was placed around the tanker until more than 20 hours after the spill began. It took three or four days before the response came up to full speed. Eventually, approximately 100 airplanes, 1000 boats, and 10,000 workers were involved in the cleanup.
The spill was an environmental disaster, especially because it occurred in a remote environment with hundreds of miles of pristine coastline and wildlife. Thousands of sea otters, harbor seals, bald eagles, seabirds, and harlequin ducks were killed. The population of sand lance herring, pink salmon, and other fish species were reduced in subsequent years. The spill adversely affected the commercial fishing industry and those people dependent on it, and it had some adverse effect on tourism in south-central Alaska. If you dig a hole on the beach along the Sound today, you are likely to find oil.
The grounding was investigated by the National Safety Transportation Board. A number of causes were identified: the third mate did not properly maneuver the vessel because of workload fatigue; the captain was not on the bridge and perhaps was impaired by alcohol; Exxon failed to provide a sufficient crew; the United States Coast Guard did not operate a vessel traffic system in the Sound. As to Hazelwood's culpability, however, in 1990 he was found not guilty by a jury of operating a vessel under the influence of alcohol. Even his conviction based on jury verdict that he was guilty of negligent discharge of oil was overturned on appeal.
The EXXON VALDEZ was towed in May 1989 back to the shipyard where she was built, National Steel and Shipbuilding in San Diego. She was still leaking oil when she arrived at the shipyard. The tanker emerged from the shipyard a year later, but the tanker was jinxed. In November 2010, the tanker collided with a bulk carrier in the Yellow Sea. In 2011 when bearing the name ORIENTAL NICETY, the tanker was sold for scrap and 2012 was dismantled in India.
The spill in Prince William Sound angered Americans. At the time, federal and state statutes addressing oil pollution and cleanup were disjointed. The federal Clean Water Act regulated the discharge of pollutants into our waters, but it was not focused on the storage, transportation, accidental spill, and cleanup of crude oil.
The Governor of Alaska appointed a commission to study the spill, and in January 1990 its report and recommendations were issued. The report criticized Exxon, the U. S. Coast Guard, the State of Alaska, and indeed the "entire regulatory system" governing the transportation of oil. A bill containing most of the recommendations became the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, signed by President George H. W. Bush.
The Oil Pollution Act phased out all single-hull tankers in U. S. waters by 2015; required double-hulls for newly constructed tankers and barges; required companies transporting oil to have safety plans and cleanup recovery plans; made entities causing oil spills liable for all cleanup costs; made the Coast Guard responsible for oversight and enforcement of the Act's requirements; caused a more robust and comprehensive vessel tracking system throughout Prince William Sound; resulted in more stringent drug and alcohol testing requirements; and established the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund with money from fines and a per-barrel excise tax on oil. Amendments in 2010 further strengthened the Act. On the other hand, depending on the facts and circumstances, the Act limited liability for damages to victims of an oil spill.
The Act could not totally eliminate oil spills. Accidents happen. But the Act's response requirements and cleanup funding process work. For example, in 2004 the ATHOS, a single-hull oil tanker, hit a submerged anchor in the Delaware River near a Philadelphia refinery and spilled over 260,000 gallons of crude oil. The tanker owner spent $143 million for cleanup costs and was reimbursed $88 million by the United States out of the Trust Fund. The tanker owner and United States recovered against the terminal owner that failed to provide a safe berth.
Environmental reform and investment in renewable energy. The environmental reform spurred by the EXXON VALDEZ was further propelled by the horrendous Deepwater Horizon blowout in April 2010 that spilled 168 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Wildlife died and the lives and livelihoods of thousands of persons were disrupted.
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and safety improvements in navigation, technology, and crew training.
Constitutional restraints on the imposition of punitive damages developed in the context of federal maritime law by the Supreme Court's 2008 decision in Exxon Shipping Company v. Baker. The Court held that reasonableness and reasonable predictability govern punitive damage awards. Exxon was negligent, but not malicious, and its liability for punitive damages was limited to $507.5 million, an amount equal to the compensatory damages (a 1-to-1 ratio).
