The system was reduced to four planets after Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star in A New Hope.
The system is unusual in that five of the planets are habitable.
This system is a trinary star system about which the planet of Riflor orbits.
The fictional galaxy where the setting of the Star Wars saga occurs is known simply as the Star Wars galaxy while in the canon it is referred as the Galaxy or the Known Galaxy.
Seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the Galactic Empire's presence is made known in the area.
The Ison Trade Corridor is a lightly populated minor trade route in the Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy.
The remains of the Death Star II are blasted in all directions with enough force that the orbital equilibrium and tug of Endorian gravity don't matter.
War is cruel and desperate, and the rebels might not have reconsidered their attack under any circumstances.
To be precise, the Death Star II's orbital period must match the sidereal period of the moon: its period of rotation with respect to the non-inertial background of the universe, not in relation to Endor's sun or any other local body.
Some of the main concerns with the star wars project was false alarms and action being initiated because of the false alarms.
If systems that require very little human input are to have a large role in human society, even the technologically backwards need to be able to use the autonomous systems.
An automatic security system at a high school in Alabama could suddenly decide that a laser pointer keychain is a gun, and then the school board would be sued by the children who are covered in tear gas when the child with the pointer ignores the computer because he knows he doesn't have a gun.
The target system is built by Sandia National Labs to replicate decoys that might be seen in threat systems Integrated Flight Tests 3 and 4 were originally planned to be conducted in 1998.
Despite a failure in the star tracker, the inertial measurement unit [IMU] of the interceptor oriented the EKV [built by Boeing], which detected the decoy and based on this detection subsequently detected the target warhead, which was destroyed on impact.
The NMD system is composed of several elements which are required to perform the key functions involved in a ballistic missile defense engagement.
Alienware's Star Wars systems are desktop PCs from "a galaxy, far, far, away," according to company literature.
Both systems have similar hardware, but the Dark Side PC comes in a fl case with red accents that features images of the saga's villains, including Darth Vader, Palpatine, and Storm Troopers.
One of these systems, with an Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 64 3000+ processor, 512MB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, a NVidia GeForce 6600 PCI Express video card, and one year of tech support was available for $1499 on Alienware's Web site in early May, but delivery was scheduled for June 13.

I was just thinking this today, but we have all these Star Trek systems, and we have Star Wars ships in the modding area.
Well, I think that there should be some Star Wars systems as well, for those pictular ships, and maybe if you want to mess around with the Star Trek ships in those systems as well.
If the sysytems dont match just create multiple systems populated by the player alone (I dont care what systems/Ships/Torps are on a persons machine), there must be some other way around the problem of the mismatch.

The cult following Star Wars garnered was so strong, that Jedi, is listed as one of the religions in U.S. May the Force Be With You.
Decades later, we have the Star Wars prequel.
The original Star Wars collectibles are now worth obscene amounts of money.
The systems are available in two extraordinary versions, Dark Side and Light Side, which feature breathtaking Star Wars artwork on the cases.
The Light Side system further enhances the Star Wars experience by including a highly unique Jedi wallpaper and desktop skin, while the Dark Side system counters with an exclusive Imperial wallpaper and desktop skin that deliver the unmistakable look and feel of the Dark Side.

The rocket was of the Lariat Series, the last program just before the Star Wars proposal firmly kicked in.
Although National Security Decision Directive #85 was announced to a doe-eyed nation of growing debtors on the evening of March 23, 1983, the Lariat Series of rockets in many ways resembled the goals of the Star Wars program, or as it was formally known, The Strategic Defense Initiative.
The Lariat premise was a simple enough one in regards to an anti-ballistic missile defense system.

Soon you too could have a Darth Vader styled desktop, a case with Luke and Leia emblazoned across the side, or why not cut to the chase and buy a Jar Jar Binks lunch box and kiss your every shred of dignity goodbye.

Last year, the Full Court of the Supreme Court in Zweck v Town of Gawler  SASCFC 172 made a number of important findings concerning Land Management Agreements. You can read the detail of these findings here.
One such finding was that the mere fact that a Land Management Agreement precludes a landowner from undertaking a particular development is not an absolute barrier to the grant of development approval for that development. The Full Court declined to determine how much weight an LMA should be given in the assessment of a development application which is contrary to its terms.
Subsequent to the Full Court decision, the Environment, Resources and Development Court was required to consider the weight to be attached to the LMA in the assessment of Mr Zweck's development application which proposed development that was contrary to it.
On 20 September 2016, the ERD Court delivered its long-awaited judgment in this regard.
the Court did not consider circumstances where the requirements of a Land Management Agreement conflict with the policy in a Development Plan (for example, as a result of subsequent material amendments to the Development Plan). This issue remains a live one, however, the rationale that the Court applied, as well as sections 57(2a) and 57A(3) of the Development Act 1993, suggest that the policies within a Development Plan should take precedence over any conflicting requirements in a Land Management Agreement.
In conclusion, for your general interest, the ERD Court in Zweck (No 2) upheld the Council's decision and determined against Mr Zweck, meaning that he did not obtain his land division consent for agricultural land located in a Rural Zone.
For further information regarding the judgment in Zweck (No 2) or in respect of Land Management Agreements generally, please contact Chelsea Lucas on 8113 7111 or at clucas@kelledyjones.com.au.

SAL - Sociedade de Aviação Ligeira era una aerolínia amb base a Luanda, Angola. Funcionava com un operador de taxi aeri.

Història
Fundada el 1992 per TAAG Angola Airlines i Endiama, per cobrir la demanda d'aviació civil a Angola, en el sector de taxi aeri i altres activitats. Com a operador de taxi aeri no té una operació regular fixa. Disposava de 64 tripulants de vol, 65 tècnics de manteniment i 54 comercials. Cap el 2008, però, fou inclosa en la llista negra de companyies aèries de la Unió Europea, com la majoria d'aerolínies angoleses, i el govern angolès va prometre una inversió de 4 milions de dòlars per rellançar-la, inversió que mai es va dur a terme. El 2009 l'Instituto Nacional da Aviação Civil li va suspendre la llicencia i el 2010 li fou retirat el certificat d'operador aeri. Finalment, per decret del 19 d'agost de 2015 el govern angolès va decidir dissoldre la companyia.

Flota
El gener de 2008 tenia (segons la pàgina web):
 Beechcraft Super King Air que incloïa 3 - 200 Super King Air i 2 - 350 Super King Air
 4 Cessna 208 Caravan
 1 Short SC.7 Skyvan

Elevator: Source delivers the most exciting elevator action since Elevator Action.
When a modder sets out to alter a game, his or her goals are usually grand, intricate things. "We'll create a layered storytelling experience!" they shout, eyes wide with glee. "We'll have six bosses that each split apart into twelve smaller bosses! And then those bosses will split into 24 even smaller bosses!"
"Yeah," their supporters shout. "If there was anything missing from the original game it was boss fights that devolved into battles against microbial fractal creatures!"
Invariably these plans prove too complicated, the mod lingers in limbo for months and is eventually, mercifully killed, to the dismay or three, maybe four eager fans.
The moral here is that sometimes simple concepts prove far more viable. Like, say, a modification that takes place entirely inside a cramped elevator. Thus, the newly released Elevator: Source.
"Why would I want to ride an elevator in a videogame?" you're wondering. "Most games already force me to do that anyway, and that's the worst part of the game."
Ah, but I haven't explained what's so special about this particular virtual human conveyance, dear reader. You see, this is the world's most intricately detailed, meticulously planned digital elevator ride. You can even bring friends!
Elevator: Source is a single or co-op elevator experience that is different each time you play. What floor will you stop on next? What will happen? Who knows! We don't even know! And we made the game. It's THAT EXCITING.
Cunning, state of the art AI that REALLY GOES INTO THE ELEVATOR AND WAITS!
Real moral choices! What floor do you get off at? Do you ever get off? Only you are able to craft your elevator story.
No video game to date can bring you the quality of elevators or as realistic a simulation as Elevator: Source can!
Right? RIGHT?! How awesome was that? I mean, there was a guy and there was an elevator, and then there was all that interminable waiting ... that's solid gold!
If you're as psyched as I am for this gripping portrayal of man-on-lift action, rush over to the modification's official site and download the thing. You'll need Half-Life 2: Episode 2 to experience Elevator: Source in full, but trust me, it is SO worth it. You haven't had this much fun on an endlessly long elevator ride since that time you fell asleep while playing Mass Effect.


A family of six is fighting deportation from a small southern Queensland town because their son's autism means they do not meet Australia's immigration health requirements.
Ms Custodio said their application for permanent residency was refused because their 11-year-old son Gain has autism and was deemed a burden on Australia's healthcare system.
"Services for special needs children in the Philippines are not as good as you can get here," she said.
"Even if you have all the resources, unless you really hire somebody private it would be hard for him to get into therapy.
Gain's ongoing healthcare needs include visits to an occupational therapist, speech therapist, psychologist and paediatrician.
"We just keep hanging on and hoping … we'll just have to prove that we deserve it," Ms Custodio said.
Ms Custodio works as a teacher aide at Bell State School and runs a successful takeaway cafe, while her husband works at one of the region's piggeries.
"The boys have started building their dreams in Australia … it's not just Gain we're thinking about, it's all four of the boys," she said.
"They're our neighbours and our friends, they're great role models for small business and work ethic and are generally great parents," she said.
Mrs Rodney said Gain's confidence and abilities had grown with support from the tight-knit school.
"Since he's arrived in 2014, you can just see how far he's come with the stability that this community has given him," Mrs Rodney said.
"You've got these six people who are already part of the fabric of our community and to take them out is going to leave a big tear in this lovely tapestry that they've started to create," she said.
"It's not so black and white … these are human beings.
Geraldine Custodio said the flood of support for her family had given them hope.
"It's very heart-warming, because at least you know there are people who would like you to stay, even if the Department says, 'no, you cannot stay'," she said.
A spokesperson said each applicant was individually assessed and the migration health requirements were "not condition-specific".
"It is an objective assessment to determine whether the care of the individual during their stay in Australia would likely result in significant costs to the Australian community or prejudice the access of Australian citizens and permanent residents to services in short supply," the spokesperson said.

Q: Getting Matrix Input in Mathematica I want user to input a matrix. I have the below code for this.
rmatrix = {{Input["r11"], Input["r12"]}, {Input["r21"], Input["r22"]}}

But it shows a separate dialog for each item.
I want to get the complete matrix in one dialog.
I also tried it in another way. check the code below.
form = FormFunction[{{"r11" -> "Number",
     "r12" -> "Number"}, {"r21" -> "Number", "r22" -> "Number"}},
   MatrixForm];

But I don't know how to assign these values to matrix.

A: Interpretation[{
  r11 = MakeBoxes[0],
  r12 = MakeBoxes[0],
  r21 = MakeBoxes[0],
  r22 = MakeBoxes[0]}, Panel[Grid[{
    {InputField[Dynamic[r11], Boxes, FieldSize -> Tiny],
     InputField[Dynamic[r12], Boxes, FieldSize -> Tiny]},
    {InputField[Dynamic[r21], Boxes, FieldSize -> Tiny],
     InputField[Dynamic[r22], Boxes, FieldSize -> Tiny]}
    }]],
 With[{r11 = ToExpression[r11], r12 = ToExpression[r12],
   r21 = ToExpression[r21],
   r22 = ToExpression[r22]}, {{r11, r12}, {r21, r22}}]]

A: rmatrix = DialogInput[{r11, r12, r21, r22}, Grid[{
     {"r11", InputField[Dynamic[r11], Number], "r12",
      InputField[Dynamic[r12], Number]},
     {"r21", InputField[Dynamic[r21], Number], "r22",
      InputField[Dynamic[r22], Number]},
     {
      Button["done", DialogReturn[{{r11, r12}, {r21, r22}}],

The Sustainable Goals, set up by U.N in 2015 include a target to ensure everyone has access to a safely-managed household toilet by 2030. This will help in eradicating sanitation health issue of the population living in extreme poverty. On Sunday, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi reassured the center's commitment to improving sanitation in the country on account of Word Toilet Day. In a short video clip, Mr. Modi reiterated the importance of ending Iron age concept of Outside defection in the country, adding that it is the "The best gift that can be given to women."
In the same video clip, Prime Minister emphasizes the expanse of toilets being built in the country under the Swach Bharat Abhiyan. And he also praised the efforts of those driving the momentum of this flagship. Mr. Modi wrote on Twitter, "I compliment all those individuals and organisations working towards building more toilets in various parts of India.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) November 19, 2017
Meetings and workshops are conducted all over the globe to spread awareness to fight against the global sanitation crises. Around 4.5 billion people across the globe live without Safely managed sanitation and Majority of this population lives in the Developing countries. World Toilet Day is a call to reach everyone in the world so that their human right to sanitization can be realized.
Akshay Kumar also tweets and ask to watch his movie" Toilet – Ek Prem Katha" on this World Toilet Day for inspiration. His movie is a true story about a man whose wife left him because he was missing a piece of plumbing, and his fight to build a sanitation system for his village.

Q: How to allow multiple user responses in any order? What do I fix to allow users to enter 'Version' , 'Credit' , 'Info',  'Notes' and 'Credit' in any order?
Here is the code I tried :
if(answer == 'Debug'):
    print('Type the word in the debug screen\nto get an output, '
          'ex. Type "Version"\nto find the file Version.')
print('\033[1;34;40m============')
print('\033[1;39;40mVersion')
print('\033[1;33;40mCredit')
print('\033[1;34;40mInfo')
print('\033[1;32;40mNotes')
answer=raw_input()
if(answer == 'Version'):
    print('\033[1;39;39m1.2.2')
if(answer == 'Credit'):
    print('\033[1;33;40mXendos6 2/22/19')

A: Please take a look at this. Maybe this will solve your issue.
responses = {
    'version': '1.0.1',
    'credit': 'some_credit',
    'info': 'this is info',
    'debug': 'this is debug output'
}

for i in responses.keys():
    user_input = input('Please enter a choice from {}: '.format(options))
    print(responses.get(user_input))

Note: this is just a template

A: You can use a dictionary consisting of each question with the printed reply, for example:
menu = {'Version': '1.2.2', 'Credit': 'Xendos6 2/22/19', 'Info': 'Some information'}

print('\033[1;34;40m============')
for k in menu.keys():
    print('\033[1;39;40m', k)

answer = raw_input()
if answer in menu:
    print('\033[1;39;39m', menu[answer])
else:
    print("Invalid answer:", answer)

This makes the menu much easier to add items to.  If the code to execute is more complex than a simple text string then the action can be placed in a function, one for each menu item, and the function name used as the value.  The function is then called as menu[answer]().
EDIT:
It now appears that the OP needs a loop.  Here is an example that removes each entry from the menu as it is chosen:
menu = {'Version': '1.2.2', 'Credit': 'Xendos6 2/22/19', 'Info': 'Some information'}

while menu:
    print('\033[1;34;40m============')
    for k in menu.keys():
        print('\033[1;39;40m', k)

    answer = raw_input()
    if answer in menu:
        print('\033[1;39;39m', menu[answer])
        del(menu[answer])
    else:
        print("Invalid answer:", answer)

This deletes the key when an item is chosen.  The loop continues while menu has data items in it - while menu: will be false when menu is empty.

Following her parents' divorce when she was five, Watson moved to England with her mother, Jacqueline Luesby, where both of her parents were born. Her father, Chris Watson, spent weekends with her in London.

In the Harry Potter films, she landed her first major acting role as Hermione Granger at the age of nine. Until she was cast in the Harry Potter films, Watson had never been on a film set and had only performed on stage.

The following year, Watson starred in the Harry Potter franchise's second series, and her performance and acting skills were praised.
Even though it made the least money, the third Harry Potter movie was her biggest role.
Aside from the Harry Potter films, Watson also appeared in "The Tale Of The Despereaux" and modelled for Burberry from 2004 to 2009.People Tree is Watson's fair-trade fashion brand.
In 2009 and 2011, two parts of the final Harry Potter film were filmed: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 2".
As part of this project, Watson starred in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" during this period.
The role of Nicki was played by Watson in the 2013 film "The Bling Ring," which was based on the "bling ring" robberies.

"Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix" brought in $4 million in 2007. In total, she earned $30 million for "Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2. Emma earned at least $70 million from Harry Potter base salaries alone after adjusting for inflation.
Emma Watson ; Success
Watson earned $15-$20 million in acting salary alone during the height of her Harry Potter career. In addition to her roles in films with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, Watson has received a lot of praise and awards.

As a result of the release of the final Harry Potter film in 2011, she has appeared in a number of films, including My Week With Marilyn (2011), Perks Of Being A Wallflower (2012), The Bling Ring (2013), This Is The End (2013), Noah (2014), Colonia (2015), Regression (2015), Beauty And The Beast (2017), The Circle (2017), and Little Women (2019).
In Beauty and the Beast, she earned around $15 million with performance bonuses. For the movie, she earned a base salary of $3 million.

She won the Young Artist Award in 2002; the People's Choice Awards in 2012 and 2013; British Artist Of The Year by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 2014; and Teen Choice Awards in 2011 and 2017. In October 2013, British GQ named her Woman of the Year.

In a 2017 interview with Vanity Fair, Watson revealed that she purchased a home with a paparazzi-proof entrance via Skype with a real estate agent without ever seeing it first. (She'd had a number of run-ins with stalkers over the years.)

An impeccably tailored camel coat is definitely an investment piece we turn to every year when the temperature drops. How to give yours a fresh, up-to-date look this season? Look at today's featured look of Miranda Kerr during Paris fashion week: leather leggings combined with modernized Mary Jane pumps, add an unexpected edgy twist to the familiar camel coat, while a slate blue cross body bag completing an oh-so-delicate color combination when placed against camel and black.

Olivia Palermo has been wearing a lot of black and white pieces lately, my favorites are these two looks above. With intricate details, dynamic patterns and a pop of brights, she gave the simple black and white a reinterpretation, making this classic combo bold, delicate and fashion-forward.
For her first outfit (above left), black and white, stripes, see-through trends blend together harmoniously thanks to the simple color palette and classic silhouette. As always, details and accessories make a big difference, as showed in her second outfit above: with the delicate laser cut out, well-thought printed clutch, sophisticated Mary Jane pump, and subtle yellow & purple color block, it's hard to believe that her dress is only a $66 piece from kohl's!


Updating as the meeting proceeds today, with most recent items at the top of the post. The agenda for the meeting is at the bottom of the post.
•After two hours of discussion, the Board voted 7 to 4 to delay consideration of a new policing contract for the agency. Here's a separate post all about that.
•The Board also approved a new "property naming policy" that governs how stations can be named after people and how stations may be sponsored by companies. Board Members Sheila Kuehl and Mike Bonin voted against. Staff report.
•The Board approved a motion by four Board Members — Mark Ridley-Thomas, Sheila Kuehl, John Fasana and Eric Garcetti — asking Metro to draw up a policy to decriminalize fare evasion for youths. Motion and here's a recent story about the issue by KPCC.
The 64 new subway cars will replace 30 of the existing cars (the current subway fleet is 104 cars) and also support subway service expansion as the phases of the Purple Line open in the 2020s.
CRRC MA has proposed to perform carshell manufacturing at its Changchun, China facility with final assembly occurring in Springfield, MA. Final assembly for Metro railcars will occur at CRRC MA's facility currently under construction in Springfield MA. The final assembly facility will consist of 40 acres which will include vehicle production facilities and a test track used to conduct routine and dynamic railcar testing. Construction on the facility is currently on schedule and is expected to be completed by Summer 2017.Major component manufacturing for the propulsion, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) No. 1.0.10 Revised 02-22-16 and lighting systems will be performed at a facility in Los Angeles as part of its Local Employment Program where CRRC MA intends to supply these systems to all of its North American customers, including Metro.
The contract award is subject to a protest, which is not unusual on these type of large contracts. I don't have any officials renderings yet — but we'll post them as soon as we get them in the coming weeks.
Back in September, the Board approved a $73-million contract and a $3.9-million contract to overhaul 74 of the subway cars used on the Red/Purple Line. The subway cars are on average more than 17 years old with an average mileage of 1.3 million miles per vehicle (fun fact!).
•The Board also approved a move that will make more college students eligible for the heavily discounted U-Pass at schools that are part of the U-Pass program. Beginning with spring semester in 2017, students with six units at those schools will be eligible (down from eight hours) for the U-Pass. Metro staff will also create a discounted transitional pass for U-Pass participants for 12 months after they graduate college. Staff report here and here's more info on the U-Pass program.
•The Board approved all items on the consent part of the agenda.
•Metro CEO Phil Washington said that the agency has been carefully tracking last week's cyber-attack on San Francisco Muni's computer systems. "We have safeguards in place aimed at protecting our computer systems from malware," Washington said, adding that Metro continues to do more work to further protect its systems.
•Here's a separate post about the Board approval today of the next phase of the parking fee program at some Metro Rail stations.
•And here's a separate post about the Board approval today of the final study for the transit station that will connect Metro Rail to the future people mover that will take passengers to LAX terminals. With the studies complete, the project can move forward toward design and construction.
The final meeting of 2016 of the Metro Board of Directors is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. today and it should be a doozy. The big item: the consideration of a contract that would split policing between the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Long Beach Police Department. The LASD currently has the contract and is fighting to keep it to themselves.
There are several other meaty items on the agenda, with the Board also considering a contract for 64 new subway cars (with options for more), the second phase of Metro's pay parking program, the approval of the final environmental study for the Airport Metro Connector station that will serve as the transfer between Metro Rail and the future LAX people mover and a proposal to decriminalize youth fare evasion.
You can also download a pdf of the agenda or view it here.
I'm glad to see you guys taking action to replace the existing subway vehicles. In the meantime, I look forward to the new subway cars in service and wish to have some improvement regarding the interior features. A digital display inside the train let riders get information as easy as possible, which included the route of the train as well as the following stations. The next thing is to increase the train's doors from 6 to 8 each car, 4 per each side. The more train's doors you get, the more accessible you have. In order to expand the capacity, I suggest using the open-gangway connector, which is similar to your light rail vehicles to allow passengers to move from one car to another. Once again, I highly recommend inserting these features into the new subway trains as well as those overhauled cars to enhance the subway service.

When was the last time you got spooked by a computer game? I mean, really jump-out-of-your-skin scared? Never, probably. It's only happened to me once, many years ago when I was playing Rescue On Fractalus, an ancient Lucasfilm game for the C64. For the benefit of those reading who isn't a nostalgic old fart like me, I'd better explain that it was a bit like Defender but in 3D. You had to fly around alien-patrolled mountains, searching for pilots whose ships had crashed. When you found a downed craft you'd land near it and watch as the little space-suited pilot ran to the safety of your ship.
Sometimes they wouldn't be human but alien pilots and if you foolishly tried to rescue one you be treated to a sudden picture of a huge bug-eyed nasty banging furiously at your cockpit window. The first time I made that mistake the shock was so great I nearly died of heart failure. I never thought I'd ever have a similar experience on computer again -until I played Space Hulk.
The game is based on the popular board game of the same name, and is set in the distant future - the 40,000th Century, no less - when the Imperium is fighting a galaxy-spanning battle against the alien hordes of Genestealers who flit through space in vast starships called Space Hulks, carrying out hit-and-run attacks on human outposts.
Fortunately mankind is not completely defenseless. The Emperor has at his disposal an elite army of Terminators, vicious and merciless soldiers who have dedicated their lives to intercepting the alien-infested battleships and destroying all the aliens inside. As commander of a platoon of up to five of these hardened killers, it's your task to guide the Terminators as they explore the mazelike interiors of the Hulks, carrying out specific missions and, of course, blasting the alien scum. It's frightening - but fun - stuff.
The fifty-plus missions in Space Hulk are many and varied. Some put you in control of a lone scout, others in charge of two five-man squads. Some are set to a strict and nerve-wracking time limit, while others allow you to take as long as you jolly well like. Here, in this slightly-fabricated ship example (you won't find a mission quite THIS demanding in the real game!), we show you some of the mission objectives and features you can expect to encounter...
Mummy, I'm frightened! The other day I was playing Space Hulk in our tiny games room. All the lights were on, from the office I could hear the merry sound of Simon and Matt arguing over who's best (again) yet the game still managed to scare the pants off me - which wasn't a pretty sight, I can tell you. I've never known a game that's as successful as Space Hulk at generating this level of genuinely sweaty, tense atmosphere and delivering such effective frights and scares -the game should come with an '18' certificate! I'd challenge even the hardest player not to feel a rumbling in their undies when they first see a swarm of Genestealers charging down the corridor towards them. Space Hulk is brilliant! It's undoubtedly the most successful boardgame-to-computer conversion ever, mainly because all the painful boardgame trappings (turns, dice rolls, etc) have been dispensed with in favour of the brilliantly-devised 'Freeze Time' system, which is far better suited to a computer and yet still retains the structure and rules of the original boardgame. The balance between guns-blazing action and cunning strategy has been calculated to perfection, ensuring that it's near impossible to complete even the simplest mission without without having to use both your brain and your trigger finger at some point. The only negative point I would make is that some of the missions are very tough but don't let that put you off - Space Hulk is an incredible experience that you've just got to be a part of.
A 3-dimensional space game which has you going about shooting millions of aliens and finding rare artifacts. The music is very similar to Desert Strike theme, so it's rule! Anyway, some people say that Hired Guns is a far better game.

This piece is from a prompt at one of Elizabeth's places. Give it a visit—try one of her prompts. Check out the work of a few other poets writing there this month.
What is the basic primal metaphor?
tempting and rattling my humanity?
of the sky are barely beginning to blue?
Madam in Eden I'm Adam.
Offering up apples and palindromes.
of my mostly settled soul.
A big thank you to fellow poet Marianne who provided this link to Watermark: a poet's notebook yesterday, from which I took the title prompt. The sentence, "Madam in Eden, I'm Adam," reads the same backwards as frontwards. It is the first palindrome I learned, and it seems to fit. My grandpa's arrival in this piece brings me great joy. It is day 16 of NaPoWriMo. It astounds me that my river still flows.
Your work and ideas feed my own. Thank you.
across gossamer bones of sky.
upon the skies of now.

CNN's Burnett Dismisses 'Death to America' as 'Trope,' Not 'Seriously Meant'
By Brad Wilmouth | January 10, 2020 6:38 PM EST
On Thursday's Erin Burnett Outfront, CNN host Erin Burnett tried to dismiss the "death to America" chants that Iran has been infamous for as just being a "trope" that is not "seriously meant" as she discussed President Donald Trump's Iran policy with Ohio Republican Congressman Mike Turner,
As the two discussed President Trump's recent claim that Iranian General Qasem Soleimani had been planning attacks on U.S. embassies, Burnett asked her guest if he had any concerns about Trump divulging classified information with the revelation. In his answer, Congressman Turner brought up the "death to America" chants:
REP. MIKE TURNER (R-OH): Even on your network, we've seen the video of the prior attack that's happened in Baghdad. We all watched the flames and the smoke that was boiling out of the embassy in Baghdad as a result of the attack that occurred there. So I don't think reporting or even speculating on what Iran has been threatening, you know, Iran itself continues to have its entire parliament to chant "Death to America." It's not as if it's a surprise that Iran has been coordinating and targeting interests throughout the Middle East.
Burnett then jumped in to suggest the "death to America" chants are not really as a big a deal as they sound like:
BURNETT: I will say -- I will say I was in Tehran when they were chanting "Death to America" once. I was at a rally -- the people couldn't have been more friendly to me personally as an American. It sort of felt like a -- it felt like a thing and a trope as opposed to anything that actually was seriously meant and considered. I understand your point, but, having been there myself, my experience was different.
The CNN host only backed down from her suggestion after her Republican guest pushed back:
REP. TURNER: Erin, your entire life, Iran … has chanted "Death to America." And they have taken actions against Americans, against American interests, in ways that are lethal, killing Americans, giving weaponry to people who have intentions to kill Americans. So it's not just a slogan -- this obviously is something Iran has systematically and continue to do. It's part of their seeking weapons of mass destruction and their claim to want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. These are real threats from the leadership of Iran even though I'm glad you had a safe and a warm response, people on the street may be different than those who are controlling their military.
Burnett then admitted: "And that is true."

Arnekhamani was a Nubian king of the Kushite Kingdom in the third century BC. The king is mainly known from his building activity at the Musawwarat es-Sufra temple complex. The main temple complex at this place was built by Arnekhamani, but was never finished. Most likely the king died before completing the temples.

Three names are attested for Arnekhamani. His birth name was Arnekhamani, his throne name Kheperkare and his Horus name Kanakht Merymaat. His birthname includes several epithets that were changed in his reign. To the birth name was originally added beloved of Amun, later it was extended to may he live for ever, beloved of Amun.  Finally it became may he live for ever, beloved of Isis. The Egyptian king Ptolemy IV Philopator (221–204 BC) is also called in his Egyptian name beloved of Isis and it seems possible that Arnekhamani's name was influenced by the name of the Egyptian king, providing a chronological fixpoint for the rule of Arnekhamani.

In the temple complex are also mentioned the wife of Arnekhamani and his son. The name of the wife is not preserved. The son is called Arky and bears the title Priest of Isis, of Ipeber-ankh (Musawwarat es-Sufra). The latter might be identical with king Arqamani, who was then the successor of Arnekhamani.

Q: Verify that method is called after retrofit callback response arrives I have this simple DataInteractor which fetches a JsonObject from an api. When the data is not null, I save it locally just in case next time the request fails I can load it from there. I want to create a unit test which checks that when the response is not empty I actually call the method which backs up the information (sharedPreferencesManager.setLocalBackup()).
I've done unit testing only once or twice and for much simpler cases. I've found this links but I honestly feel I'm missing something...well...cause I haven't been able to implement the test, basically.
Android test method called after presenter executes retrofit call
Unit Testing in Retrofit for Callback
My Interactor:
public class DataInteractorImpl implements MainActivityContract.DataInteractor {

private SharedPreferencesManager sharedPreferencesManager;

private Retrofit retrofit = new retrofit2.Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl("https://api.nytimes.com/")
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
        .build();

public DataInteractorImpl(SharedPreferencesManager sharedPreferencesManager){
    this.sharedPreferencesManager = sharedPreferencesManager;
}

@Override
public void getNoticeArrayList(final OnFinishedListener onFinishedListener) {

    // RetrofitInstance interface
    DataInteractorService dataService = retrofit.create(DataInteractorService.class);

    Call<JsonObject> call = dataService.getNewsData(getCurrentDateYYYYMMDD());

    call.enqueue(new Callback<JsonObject>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<JsonObject> call, Response<JsonObject> response) {

            // if the response is not null, try to process it. Otherwise check the local backup
            if(response.body() != null){
                sharedPreferencesManager.setLocalBackup(response.body().toString());
            }
            onFinishedListener.onFinished(response.body());
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<JsonObject> call, Throwable t) {
            //check the local backup, return the backup if there is one
            if(sharedPreferencesManager.getLocalBackup() != null) {
                onFinishedListener.onFinished(sharedPreferencesManager.getLocalBackup());
            } else {
                onFinishedListener.onFailure(t);
            }
        }
    });
}

private String getCurrentDateYYYYMMDD(){
    Date date = new Date();
    return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd").format(date);
}

}
Any and help could be very useful.
Thanks to all in advance!

The TV Ratings Guide will & grace reviews Will & Grace Season 9 Episode 10 Review
Rebecca Bunch 9:13 AM will & grace reviews
I'm back to review Will & Grace after skipping the first two episodes of 2018. I'm glad to be back, as the show's been great lately. This week focuses on Will getting closure on an old breakup, with old favorite Bobby Cannavale returning as Vince. I'm excited!
Will is having his ex Vince over for breakfast, a fact that amazes Grace. Jack explains the differences between gay people and straight people, with plenty of jabs at Will. Vince arrives, with soap, and Grace and Jack as promptly kicked out, as they should be. Vince and Will chat a bit before Vince gets down to business. He's getting married, and he wants Will to come. Will accepts his invitation, but he's clearly not as happy as he says he is.
Will is acting funny on the day of the wedding. He talks about how boring Vince's husband-to-be Ryan is, and then starts telling a lie about being fine. Grace tries to convince him not to go, and he agrees, though he wants her to tell a good lie about why he isn't there. Karen is participating in a scavenger hunt, and she's super competitive about it. Will shows up at the wedding, despite his earlier insistence that he wouldn't. He wants closure about the end of their relationship, and Grace is very against this.
Will finally gets some alone time with Vince, but Grace still keeps interrupting. Will just wants closure, but Grace still doesn't think he should talk to Vince. Jack's hookup, who's never had sex with a man before, tells him he loves him after about a half hour of knowing each other, but Jack tells him off. He still doesn't get it. Karen stole a pair of dentures from Ryan's uncle for her scavenger hunt, but she still needs a cop's badge. Meanwhile, Jack meets up with Vince's cousin, the wife of his recent hookup. They deny knowing each other, but she tells them to go to a cabin in the Poconos (PA represent!!!) together. Jack tries to use his "wife" Karen as an excuse to not go, but she is very much the opposite of helpful. Jack moves a gravy boat off out of a wedding picture, and Vince lets it slip that he never wanted Will to come in the first place. He also says that he broke up with Will because will never liked him.
Will makes a toast at the wedding, and it doesn't sound quite as nice as he seemingly intended. He says about how horrible he is and how he doesn't deserve love, and Grace makes a toast about how great he is. They keep making toasts and finally, Vince jumps in to say how he loved him. Ryan asks for a real toast, and Jack jumps up to talk about his hookup. He says to never fall in love, so all in all it's a really great toast. Later, Karen steals a cops badge and finally completes the scavenger hunt, beating Ivanka Freakin' Drumpf. Vince goes to talk to Will about how scared he is, and Will convinces him to go through with it. In the end, Will finally gets his closure.
I really enjoyed this episode, as it had a really great conclusion that finally gave Will the closure he needed. It was all very touching, in the show's own special way. Eric McCormack delivered a great performance tonight, probably his best work all season. Grace was also highly enjoyable this episode with her opposition to Will's plan. Her line "I wish I was my friend" was the line of the episode. I also enjoyed the B (C?) plot with Karen's scavenger hunt, and I laughed out loud at her introduction in this episode, when she had the monkey on her shoulder. All in all, the episode was incredibly funny and I look forward to the next, which is unfortunately a couple weeks away.
My Score: 9.5/10
My Grade: A
