Exercise KAKADU is a joint exercise hosted by the Royal Australian Navy and supported by the Royal Australian Air Force.
Conducted both onshore and at sea off the coast of Darwin, this year's event involves the participation of 27 countries deploying more than 3,000 personnel, 23 navy vessels, 21 aircraft, and a submarine.
Australian Fleet commander rear admiral Jonathan Mead said: "Having 27 countries from such a wide spectrum involved in Exercise KAKADU is a fantastic opportunity for us all to be able to understand each other's abilities, and to be able to develop the confidence to work together effectively."
"Exercise KAKADU 2018 is designed to be carried out into three phases, which include a harbour phase, a force integration training phase, and a free-play phase."
In addition to Australia, the other participating nations include Bangladesh, Canada, Chile, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, the People's Republic of China, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka, the UAE, the US and Vietnam.
Australian Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne said: "This premier international exercise will provide invaluable training opportunities for maritime security and surveillance for all involved.
"Participation by nations from the South West Pacific, South East Asia and from the wider Indo-Pacific further strengthens the bonds we enjoy with our close regional partners."
KAKADU is a premier multilateral regional maritime engagement exercise that is conducted twice a year in Darwin and the Northern Australian Exercise Areas (NAXA).
This year's exercise is scheduled to continue until mid-September.

An increasing number of businesses are incorporating eCommerce platforms into their websites. The reasons vary, but for a majority of them, the lure of increased profits, larger sales and more customers is hard to resist.
On top of that you can have your business up an running in a matter of hours. Studies show that online retail sales are expected to reach around $370 billion by 2017. With those types of figures, here are five reasons why eCommerce is critical to your business.
Since the Internet has no limits, in terms of international reach, your eCommerce site has the ability to attract an entirely new audience. This was unheard of only two decades ago. In addition, you don't have to be a large organization to have shoppers from all over the internet.
This is certainly a lot quicker than receiving orders via email or phone. In fact, when you upgrade to an eCommerce plan, SimpleSite will give you a customized e-mail alias to go with your unique domain name. All you need to do is make sure they receive their items on time.
With an eCommerce platform, you can save on hiring and staff maintenance costs, as well as utility bills. The reason is you don't need to hire anyone to handle payments or take customers on a tour. You don't need anyone to manage inventory, billing or even accounts receivable. You don't need to worry about energy expenses. Moreover, you don't have to pay rent for a physical location.
Once you set up your eCommerce platform, all you have to do is let your customers find their way around. Your visitors can't break any of your items before purchasing either.
Many customers enjoy the ease that comes with shopping online. Around 50 percent of millennials often search for products online and around two-thirds of Americans, over the age of 50, make their purchases from online retailers. When you have an eCommerce site, you make it much easier for people to find your business.
Having a physical location often limits you to setting specific store hours. If you can afford to hire help all day and night, you may be able to open 24 hours a day. Yet, there can be heightened security risks for keeping a store open late in the evening.
This is not the case with an eCommerce solution. You don't have to worry about paying an excessive power bill for keeping the lights on. It also goes back to reaching a global audience. People across the world live in different time zones. They may want to shop while you're sleeping. The good news is, they can. Your business can become fully automated with transactions processed instantly.
In order for people to discover your online business, you need to be highly ranked on search engines. The practice of getting your business noticed by search engines is called search engine optimization, SEO. Having an eCommerce platform makes your site more search-friendly for prospects looking for your particular line of products.
When you have more traffic, you eventually have more customers.
All businesses can benefit from an eCommerce site. There isn't any question that it is easy to set up with immediate results. Whether you want to gain more customers or increase profits, eCommerce is the way to go. Consider the SimpleSite website builder that includes free hosting for your company blog.

Space is a premium in my household especially in the garage. The garage ends up getting used as a storage facility despite already having 2 cars parked inside. So to make additional space, I use a wall organization system similar to the Richelieu Garage Organization System. I can attach all kinds of different hooks onto the rails that I'm using to hang bicycles, extension cords, ladders and long-handle tools. The Richelieu system at Costco is only a fraction of the cost compared to the one that I bought. I may need to hang a few more things like a garden hose or my kid's scooter. I'll surely buy the Richelieu Garage Organization System for some extra storage for a reasonable price.

"Phones are for connecting" Pope Francis told an enthusiastic Paul VI Hall full of students: "life is for communicating!", quoted by Vatican News.
The girls and boys, accompanied by family members and teachers of Rome's Visconti High School clapped loudly when the Pope turned his attention to their ever-present digital devices.
"Free yourself from the addiction to mobile phones" he warned, pointing out that they are good and useful tools, but must be used in the right way.
Speaking off-the-cuff during his wide-ranging and to-the-point discourse, the Pope said "Mobile phones are for communication" and communication is beautiful and good. But, he continued, the danger of becoming addicted to mobile phones is very tangible at present.
Every one, he continued, should know how to use one, "but when you become a slave to your mobile phone, you will lose your freedom".

Q: Cordova NativePageTransitions plugin error I'm trying to use the NativePageTransitions-plugin( http://plugins.telerik.com/cordova/plugin/native-page-transitions ) for my cordova-project. It works pretty well so far.
Then i read about the feature to manually control the transition, without a fixe delay.
My transition code so far:
try {
    var flipOptions = {
        "direction": dir, // 'left|right|up|down', default 'left' (which is like 'next')
        "duration": duration, // in milliseconds (ms), default 400
        "iosdelay": -1, //60, // ms to wait for the iOS webview to update before animation kicks in, default 60
        "androiddelay": -1, //70, // same as above but for Android, default 70
        "winphonedelay": 200 // same as above but for Windows Phone, default 200
    };
    window.plugins.nativepagetransitions.flip(
            flipOptions,
            function (msg) {
                console.log("flip success: " + msg);
            },
            function (msg) {
                console.log("flip error: " + msg);
            }
    );
} catch (e) {
    //alert('error in transition');
    //alert(e.toString());
}

and to execute the transition:
try {
    window.plugins.nativepagetransitions.executePendingTransition(
            function (msg) {
                alert("manual success: " + msg);
            },
            function (msg) {
                alert("manual error: " + msg);
            }
    );
} catch (e) {
    alert('error in transition execution');
    alert(e.toString());
}

Now, when calling the first function, the screen freezes correctly. When calling the second function, i get following outut:

error in transition
TypeError: Cannot read property 'nativepagetransitions' of undefined

What does that mean? How can I resolve this?

Forza Horizon 4 is heading to Xbox One consoles, Windows 10, and Xbox Game Pass on October 2, 2018. The news was announced by Ralph Fulton, Playground Games creative director, during Microsoft's Xbox press event prior to the E3 2018 gaming convention. Along with the announcement, the studio also showcased live gameplay to emphasize how seasons will "change everything" in the upcoming game.
Set in Britain, Forza Horizon 4 will consist of a shared, open world with dynamic seasons, time of day, and weather conditions synchronized across the entire player community. These changes will keep the open-world racing game fresh, with new events taking place each season and world events signaled by a blimp floating overhead. You play with not only the entire community but with the development team as well.
During the Forza Horizon 4 reveal, members from Playground Games jumped on-stage to steer the new McLaren Cena, the Hoonigan Ford Focus starting in the streets of Scotland's capital, an off-road buggy on Britain's coastline, and a highly customized Nissan Silvia. The demo showcased the glorious visuals Xbox One X owners will experience with the game's 60FPS mode, which renders a sharp, detailed world at a buttery 60 frames per second.
The demo also revealed how players can meet new friends and join teams. Simply pull up next to a car, select the quick chat feature on the D-Pad, and seamlessly enter into co-op mode. "Hello, wanna drift?" one message bubble asks another player. If the first player is also in a group, the second player will be asked to join the "convoy" and they'll drive off together to watch the sunset.
According to the live demo, world events are dubbed as #Forzathon Live. While the live presentation didn't really go into detail outside of highlighting the community-driven gameplay, it revealed the current event consisted of three stages, the first of which required players to race to the danger sign.
In addition to showcasing how the community populates virtual Britain, a big emphasis was placed on the changing seasons. Each season brings its "unique beauty and unique gameplay," such as the golden leaves highlighting the rolling countryside during the fall. Leaves eventually drop while ice and snow cover the ground and roads once winter arrives, providing a completely new, slippery driving dynamic.
In the spring, the world is seemingly reborn with lush, green landscapes and new seasonal elements to completely change the driving experience. Throw in the changing time of day, and you'll feel like you're driving in a thriving, living world. The demo initially began in the summertime with lots of rain showers spattering on the windshields and roads.
The first Forza Horizon game launched on the Xbox 360 in late 2012, followed by the second installment in September 2014 and the third installment in September 2016. All three are based on an open-world design, although Forza Horizon 3 was the first in the trio to implement cross-platform play multiplayer support between the Xbox console and Windows PC.

Aerial Expressions adds new element to yoga
By Mandy Byrd
Susie Stevens, owner of Aerial Expressions in Shreveport, brings a new form of fitness to the Shreveport- Bossier City area.
As a former gymnastics coach, dance, fitness and yoga instructor, Stevens saw the need for a change of pace from the typical workout routine.
"I've taught for 23 years in the realm of fitness. I just wanted to do something more, and aerial is something I had seen online, but it just wasn't in this area yet," Stevens said. "We started really small, just basic skills for about two years, but we had some people progressing really fast. We moved to a bigger facility just over a year ago."
Aerial yoga is a type of yoga which combines traditional yoga poses, Pilates and dance with the use of a hammock-like fabric hung in a studio.
"The reason they call it aerial is that we do more yoga close to the floor – your basic yoga poses are done with the fabric, so it lets your poses go a little deeper and be more supported," Stevens said. "Maybe a pose that someone has been struggling with on the floor or that you want to make a little more intensive, using the fabric can assist that."
The benefits of aerial yoga are substantial. "It's amazing for the back, especially in the inverted poses," Stevens said. In addition, aerial yoga can improve alignment and pain relief, encourage body awareness, increase flexibility and joint mobility, and inspire positive life changes.
"We have had students that work out all the time, but they are always surprised because they're using muscles they've never used before – they're lifting and climbing, but it's doable. Eighty percent of it is technique verses strength and learning to use your lats and not just your arms."
Stevens received her aerial training through Aircats in Boulder, Colo., and takes continuing education classes to stay current and expand her knowledge.
Aerial Expressions offers classes from a beginner level to advanced.
"We have all ages of adults, and we now have performing companies. We have a senior performing group and also a junior novice group. They are just amazing, and they love it and have fun," she said. "We try offer enough different varieties of class that someone could come in off the street and not know a thing about aerial, or even yoga – because it's not just yoga, it's a few yoga poses inverted – but we offer something for all levels, all ages, all abilities. People can work at their own pace, so if they're a few inches off the ground doing their strength and conditioning and flexibility work or head high where they are climbing all the way to the ceiling and learning full routines, either way it's a great opportunity for fitness."
Stevens is passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals. "The strength challenge is so much fun to watch people grow from no upper body strength to saying, 'Look, I can climb!' I love teaching; I thrive off of their energy and having them feel good about themselves and gain confidence is amazing. We have such great students."
She offers private group classes for anything from children's birthdays to bachelorette parties. Youth classes are also available. "Our youth classes are really neat – some children find their niche in dance or gymnastics, but some kids say, 'I'm too tall' or 'I'm too lanky' or 'my coordination isn't there,' but they get into aerial and they can do it, because it supports their body. To see these kids get excited about moving – oh my gosh – it has been amazing," Stevens said. "I'm blessed to have a job that I'm passionate about, and my passion is helping people. I love watching the smiles or helping them overcome a challenge. It produces quick gains – you will see [a difference] in a few weeks. They trust their bodies."

Ryan Gracey responds to Jay Z's Roc Nation deepfake copyright case
Ryan Gracey, digital & technology law specialist, has responded to a high-profile, complex copyright case in America, which has caught the attention of global press.
The entertainment agency representing the rapper Jay Z, called Roc Nation, has issued a copyright notice to a Youtube channel called Vocal Synthesis, which produces 'audio deepfakes' of celebrities singing or saying unlikely things, such as Bob Dylan singing Britney Spears or Bill Clinton saying the words to Baby Got Back. The audio is completely computer-generated, using AI that mimics human voices.
Ryan said: ""With the rise in use of artificial intelligence to create content, the next couple of years is likely to see the courts getting to grips with the copyright issues prompted by deepfake technology.
"Under English law, if the deepfake takes a substantial part of Jay Z's copyright work, there could well be an actionable copyright infringement. However while there may be infringement, Vocal Synthesis may also have a defence. Although English copyright law is fairly antiquated, dating back to 1988, it was amended in October 2014 to include a fair dealing exception for parody. It may be open to Vocal Synthesis to rely on this relatively new fair dealing exception. Equally, under US law, there are relatively wide fair use defences which permit certain parodies.
"English law states that in order to qualify as a parody, the deepfake would need to evoke Jay Z's existing work while being noticeably different from it and constitute an expression of humour or mockery. Relevant factors in assessing whether it's a parody include a review of how much of the copyright work was taken, whether the deepfake competes with Jay Z's own work, and whether it is being used in an advertising context.
"If the case was in England and Vocal Synthesis has taken more than is necessary of the original or uses it for advertising or in a commercial manner, there is unlikely to be fair dealing and the defence would fail. However the situation will ultimately turn on its specific facts."

Did you even look at some of the requirements? "belong to a hunting or shooting club"? How exactly would that cut the gun murder rate in Chicago, for instance? Waiting periods? Did you know SCOTUS just turned down an appeal to override California's 10 day waiting period. Which means any state that desires could enact one as well. I loved the one from Mexico "provide a letter from local authorities . . ." I wonder how many pesos a cartel soldier has to pay to get one of those.
Yeah, compelling someone to interact with responsible gun owners is a terrible idea. Not like those folk might be able to recognize that someone might be unstable.
Sorry you don't like Mexico. One step in one country is certainly enough to **** on any kind of thorough process to acquire a gun. **** it. Let's just wait for more dead kids.

I like Mexico just fine, but it's bureaucracy is notoriously corrupt and the power of the cartels is well documented.

So, you care only about the number of steps, whether they make sense and are effective or not? Do you even know what it takes to buy a gun in your home state?
I didn't say you were intelligent about logical fallacies. I just said it was progress.
Oh, yeah, nothing but responsible people for the 12 minutes it takes to buy a gun.
So, you care only about the number of steps, whether they make sense and are effective or not?
I care about both. Glad I could clear that up for you.
Do you even know what it takes to buy a gun in your home state?
A little. Though, to be fair, I don't have a small dick, so I don't need a gun.
So which of those requirements from other countries would you enact here?
Obviously you have a small brain so you probably couldn't buy one anyway.
I know facts are anathema to progs buy here are the actual requirements to purchase a gun in California

The Times ran a pretty interesting piece comparing buying a guy with what is required in 15 other countries.
Suffice to say, a little unsettling how easy it is here compared to other developed countries who don't have these issues.
The rollover text: "Many states have additional buying restrictions..."
If you think you can buy any gun in this state by simply passing instant background check, you've obviously been out of the market for firearms for decades.

My buddy, TFK rarely lets facts get in the way of his stauch progressive ideology. And yet he professes to be the world's foremost expert on logical fallacies.
Who in America wants us to follow this advice and why? Who's talking points are they repeating?
U.S. Enemies Compassionately Advise Us To Ban Guns
You want to talk about foreign intervention in America's domestic politics?
There's one form of this phenomenon underway right now that is very telling.
Have you noticed how America's most bellicose adversaries in the world, along with totalitarian nations that rode to power by slaughtering millions of dissidents, are finding it in their compassionate hearts to advise the U.S. to ban guns?
First it was the Chinese government that offered its advice following the Florida school shooting massacre.
Maybe you missed it.
Last week an official state newspaper in China editorialized that the U.S. ought to adopt China's human rights and gun policies.
"Washington has been pointing an accusing finger at other countries over human rights. … However, more Americans have been killed by gunfire in the country than American soldiers being killed in all U.S. wars," the Shangahi newspaper editorial claimed.
The paper went on to explain that gun violence is rare in China because virtually no private citizens can own guns.
"Gun ownership in China is strictly regulated, which helps reduce gun-related crimes and deaths," the editorial continued. "The U.S. should learn from China and genuinely protect human rights," the editorial stated.
If that weren't enough, China, which still forces millions of abortions every year as part of its population control program, claimed in this government-run newspaper: "The right of life is the most fundamental (of) human rights. The right to bear arms cannot overpower the individual's right to live."
The Chinese government of Mao Zedong slaughtered millions of its own citizens after seizing power along with all firearms in the country – a bloody total that reaches as high as 75 million people. It was only possible because citizens could not defend themselves from a tyrannical and maniacal government hell-bent on total control.
Then this week, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on America to "make guns illegal," in light of deadly shootings that have taken place across the United States.
Ironically, Khamenei has instructed his government to spend billions of dollars on military hardware and ballistic missiles, with which he regularly threatens Israel, which he charmingly calls "the little Satan, and, occasionally, the U.S., which he calls "the great Satan."
"No one dares apply the clear solution to the promotion of guns and homicide in America," he tweeted. "What's the solution? It's to make guns illegal."
In a sweeping thread that touched on gun violence and the homicide rate in America, Khamenei criticized the U.S. "gun lobby" and called on America to ban weapons.
"In U.S., hundreds are killed every week by homicide for no crime – no reason – not at the hands of police, as U.S. police brutality is a separate issue," the Iranian leader wrote. "The accessibility of guns leads to homicide; it's created problems for a country like U.S., everyone admits, fears, and is concerned about it."
Khamenei also accused U.S. lawmakers of corruption and of kowtowing to the gun industry, which has lobbied against certain restrictions on firearms.
"Gun companies are so powerful that House representatives and U.S. senators don't dare pass prohibition of guns, and [the] U.S. president doesn't dare speak out, rise against it," he wrote. "This is corruption."
Sounds a lot like a Democrat, doesn't he?
It's unlikely anyone in his country will ask him why he feels such compassion for the American people he has threatened with annihilation. That's because in Iran they don't have a First Amendment backed up by a Second Amendment.
What a stupid piece.
Oh, it's ****ing World Net Daily. Makes sense.
No, just took a single course on it. Enough to know how badly you butcher them.
Nice link, though. Good to know to buy a gun in CA I basically just need an ID.
A gun? Or a handgun? A few slight differences.
By the way, did you ever respond to my question about which additional requirements from other countries you thought would help here?

Accept Biography
Accept are a German heavy metal band from the town of Solingen, originally assembled in the early 1970s by Udo Dirkschneider. They played an important role in the development of speed metal and Teutonic thrash metal, being part of the German heavy/speed/power metal scene to emerge in the early to mid 1980s. The band's 1983 album, Balls to the Wall, subsequently became their most successful release, featuring its well-known hit with the same title. Following their disbandment in 1997 and brief resurrection in 2005, they reunited in 2009 without Dirkschneider.
Accept were originally founded in 1968 by Udo Dirkschneider and Michael Wagener under the name Band X. For many years after its founding, Accept went through constant changes to its line-up and was essentially kept on an amateur level, making sporadic appearances in festival concerts. Their professional career began in 1976, when they were invited to play at one of the first rock and roll festivals from Germany — Rock am Rhein. Following the festival, the band received a recording deal. Their first recording was the self-titled Accept album which did not achieve much commercial success.
The first stable line-up of Accept was composed of vocalist Udo Dirkschneider, guitarists Wolf Hoffmann and Gerhard Wahl, bassist Peter Baltes and drummer Frank Friedrich. Friedrich and Wahl quit the band after the release of Accept, since they did not intend to pursue a professional career in music. They were replaced by Stefan Kaufmann and Jörg Fischer, and with this line-up the band proceeded to record I'm a Rebel in 1980. The title track originally was written for AC/DC but never released by them. This was the album which brought media attention to the band, which was subsequently invited to make its first televised show.
Three important events took place in 1981. First, the album Breaker was released. Second, a contract with manager Gaby Hauke was signed, an agreement which lasted for the whole of the band's career. Third, Accept joined Judas Priest's world tour and obtained a fair amount of success, making the band known outside of Europe.
The next album — Restless and Wild — was released in 1982, but did not have the presence of Jörg Fischer, who quit the band a short time before the recording took place. Jan Koemmet was hired as Accept's new guitarist, but departed from the band before the recording of the album. Restless and Wild saw an evolution in the band's sound, which incorporated several characteristics of the genre which would later be called speed metal. Gaby Hauke is credited as "Deaffy" on two of the tracks.
Accept became successful with their next release, Balls to the Wall (1983), now with Herman Frank (ex-Sinner), which would prove to be something different from what they had previously recorded. The album was of a conceptual nature, and included songs which spoke about themes such as politics, sexuality and different kinds of human relationships. For example the title track "Balls to the Wall" refers to slaves revolting against oppressing masters. "Fight It Back" is about the social misfit, fighting against conformity. All songs were credited to Accept + "Deaffy". Deaffy was later revealed to be their manager Gaby Hauke's pseudonym for her contribution to the band's lyrics. She proceeded to compose the lyrics of all of their songs from that album on, except a couple of songs on their final album Predator. She did not officially claim authorship of the songs until the band had broken up.
During a show in their hometown in the year of 1983, the band ran into Jörg Fischer by chance. On Hauke's insistence, Fischer was made part of the band once more. A world tour which would only end in 1984 — at the historic Monsters of Rock festival — followed.
Metal Heart came next, in 1985, soon followed by the live album Kaizoku-Ban. Russian Roulette continued the series of albums, being produced by Scorpions producer Dieter Dierks and released in 1986.
However, as time passed, differences began to surface. Peter Baltes, Wolf Hoffmann and Gaby Hauke expressed a growing interest in the USA, and spent more time in overseas countries than in Germany, which meant they were constantly away from the rest of the band. The distance between them grew, and it was eventually decided that Accept would enter an hiatus and that Udo Dirkschneider would, in the meantime, pursue a solo career. The other members of the band worked together with Udo on the technical side of his first solo album, entitled Animal House, and it was released under the name of U.D.O. in Europe and America.
After a period of inactivity, Peter, Wolf and Stefan set to work once more as a band with the help of vocalist David Reece; Udo's solo career was working out well and guitarist Jörg Fischer had once more left Accept. After a few demos, the band felt secure enough with this new line-up and released Eat the Heat, the first and last (?) Accept album without Udo.
A short warm up tour in the USA was followed by a European tour with the support of rhythm guitarist Jim Stacey followed the release of the album. The tour, however, came to a sudden halt when Stefan Kaufmann sustained a serious injury to his back. He was replaced by drummer Ken Mary for the remainder of the tour. By the tour's end, Hoffmann, Baltes and Hauke had decided that Reece was an unstable personality and Kaufman was going to need a long break from the drums. They decided it was time to quit. By the end of 1989, the band had ceased its activities.
A live compilation entitled Staying a Life was released in 1990, and fans from around the globe demanded a reunion. During a visit to Germany, Udo met with the musicians from Accept and, after some discussion, it was decided that they would relaunch the classic line-up of the band.
Objection Overruled was released in 1993. The band's reunion was a qualified success in Europe and the USA, where the band was working though Pavement Records. A world tour followed. Another album, entitled Death Row, was released in 1994, but Kaufmann became unable to play once more due to his recurring back injury. The band invited Stefan Schwarzmann as a temporary replacement and commenced plans for their next tour.
The musicians, however, began to feel tired. The teenagers from the town of Solingen had grown up and were beginning to feel the toll of a life of constant touring. A sense of finality was in the air when the band entered studios to record Predator from 1996, this time with Michael Cartellone (from Damn Yankees) on the drums.
Accept's final tour, supporting Predator, went through America, Europe and Asia, with their last concert in Tokyo, Japan, one of the world capitals of heavy metal.
The future of Accept was uncertain between 1997 and 2005, as all members continue working on their own projects. However 2005 saw a short commemorative reunion tour with Accept's classic line-up. The final show was held on August 27, 2005, in Kavarna, Bulgaria - at the Kaliakra rock fest.
Asked in May 2007 if Accept were planning on writing and recording new material in the near future, Dirkschneider replied:
" That would be a problem. You know, it's easy to play the old songs, because they already exist. Especially for me it was easier, because I still do those classics with U.D.O., but for some of the guys it was a bit harder. But everybody did a great job on stage. I understand that people want a new Accept album, but composing songs together would have been a disaster. That way we would destroy more than we would create. We have a good relationship now and it's best to keep it that way. "
— Udo Dirkschneider, Lords of Metal
In May 2009, a possible Accept reformation surfaced when bassist Peter Baltes revealed that he spent a weekend at his house in Pennsylvania and "shredding away" with the band's guitarist Wolf Hoffmann. "Something amazing is in the works," Baltes explained. "As soon as I can, I'll let everybody know. Let's make the 'Metal Heart' beat again." On May 14, 2009, it was announced that Udo Dirkschneider would not be participating in the rumored Accept reunion tour. As of May 15, 2009, former TT Quick singer Mark Tornillo is Dirkschneider's replacement. Reunion tour dates are currently being booked and a new studio album is on the way. According to Baltes, the new album is almost done.

The open secret Santa of your revenue streams: Saturday Solologues
Food makes up less than 10 percent of your time spent at the multiplex. But it accounts for way more in the bottomline of multiplex chains. Why haven't global fast food chains entered the business of mini theatres?

I passively belong to several WhatsApp groups. (Who doesn't?) But this was a discussion over WhatsApp that kept me engaged for a while. As luck would have it, I had discussed similar points with my office colleagues.
The starting point was a report sent by a leading theatre chain on food sales during 2022. Well, food makes up less than 10 percent of your time spent at the multiplex. But it accounts for way more in the bottomline of multiplex chains. At present it's estimated that food and beverages contribute to around 25 per cent of the multiplex revenues. Further it's estimated to be growing at around 30 per cent every year.
Another marketer asked, if that made sense why haven't global fast food chains entered the business of mini theatres? Pat came the reply. Some of the leading fast food chains make their money selling toys – so much so that they could qualify to be among the world's leading toy sellers.
Or look at the interest that coffee chains with prepaid cards make on the float (the interest it makes on the unutilised value stored in its cards).
Or take a look at financial services apps that expect you to load money into the wallet before they start serving your needs, or online subscriptions for everything from milk to bread. There's certainly a lot more opportunity in business or revenue streams. Our imagination is the only limit.

Görlitz, Germany
Noted German art director and production designer Alfred Junge played an important role in creating the ambience of such classic British films as the Black Narcissus (a film that earned him an Academy Award in 1947). Junge worked with such directors as Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, starting his career designing sets for the State Theater and the Berlin State Opera. In 1920, he became an art director for the UFA. He moved to England in the late '20s to work with E. A. Dupont. He was appointed the head of MGM's British studios in the late '40s and spent 10 years in that capacity.

We have transformed from human "beings" to human "doings", constantly on-the-go, moving from one activity to the next, always planning for the future. The art of mindfulness involves becoming fully present in the moment and brings one back to a peaceful state of being. This class will explore the connection between our mind, body and soul using tools such as discussion, journaling, stress-reducing exercises (including intentional breathing techniques), and quiet self-contemplation. In our busy world today, it's important to instill upon our upcoming generation the ability to manage stress and calm themselves, armed with the knowledge that most things in life are only temporary. Understanding and practicing these fundamental principles of living mindfully will bolster your child's creativity, curiousity, and self-esteem and allow their inner light to shine!

WEIRTON — Theo Yianni's Restaurant in Weirton continues to provide the best authentic Greek and American cuisine in a relaxing and fun family environment, according to co-owners Yianni Bourbakis and Shawn Mihellis.
The tasty new Theo salmon salad and hot stuffed pepper sandwich are just two items listed on their new menu, according to Bourbakis. He said they continue to pride themselves on keeping the food preparation consistent. "Everytime you get a gyro, or everytime you get something special, it is the same thing everytime," he said.
Other menu favorites that are sure to please include: gyros with Greek fries, 8-ounce bistro beef tenderloin, Mediterranean shrimp and bourbon-glazed salmon.
In addition, Yianni's offers a variety of burgers, including a Greek bruschetta burger or, the hometown favorite, Frank's Famous French-burger. Their new Mediterranean-style peppers are quickly becoming another customer favorite, according to Mihellis. The children's menu also offers plenty of choices, including buttered noodles, chicken fingers, hotdogs and grilled cheese sandwich.
"The gyro and Greek fries — that's like the go-to," Mihellis said. "People love our wings as well. … We have a brick oven pizza section, and we do specialty pizzas." he added.
"What makes our restaurant special is of course the family environment," said Mihellis. Patrons can catch a glimpse of their favorite sporting event on one of the nearly dozen large flat screen TVs positioned around the inside of the restaurant, including a bar area. They offer a large selection of beer and wine, and they recently added outdoor patio seating near the entrance to the restaurant.
"We are just thankful for all our faithful customers and all the new customers that come in," Mihellis added.
Theo Yianni's is located at 322 American Way, which is located just off the Colliers Way exit.
Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. For take-out, call 304-224-1390.


A man who attacked a taxi driver as he left a nightclub in Yeovil has been sentenced in court.
William Carter, of Easthams Road in Crewkerne , admitted punching Timothy Parsons on Stars Lane in the early hours of April 1, leaving him with broken glasses and bruising to his face, when he appeared at Somerset Magistrates Court in Yeovil.
The 19-year-old had been enjoying a night out at Club Neo when he lost his cool and confronted the driver after seeing him reverse into a woman who had walked behind his cab.
Prosecuting, Christine Hart said that the assault had been witnessed by two police officers on the opposite side of the road and that Carter was subsequently arrested.
She told the court: "The defendant appeared at the window on the driver's side and threw a punch, causing his glasses to break.
"There were police on the opposite side of the road who witnessed the assault. They said that the defendant was drunk.
Acting without legal representation, Carter told magistrates that his actions were "completely out of character" and issued a full apology.
He told the court: "I acted completely out of character and take full responsibility for what I did.
"It is something that I wouldn't normally do.
Carter was fined £230 and also ordered to pay £109 in compensation to Mr Parsons, £85 in costs as well as a £30 victim surcharge.

Three More Switch Titles Come to the Nintendo eShop
This week's digital releases are live on the Nintendo eShop, and the bounty consists of three new Switch games.
Jason Venter
Every Thursday, Nintendo of America adds new games to the eShop. Additions usually include a mix of Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and sometimes Wii U titles, but this week the lineup was a little on the small side and consisted of just three new Switch releases as Nintendo focuses most of its attention on the impending arrival of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
Forma.8, the first of the week's new releases, is a platformer title with a dark foreground and colorful backdrops, visually reminiscent of Limbo. It was already available on PC and a variety of consoles, and even came to Wii U in late February of this year.
Piczle Lines DX is a new puzzle game from Score Studios. That developer appears to have worked exclusively on iOS titles until now, and in fact, one of its previous releases on that other platform was Piczle Lines in 2010. The goal of the game is to draw lines between colored nodes on a grid, which eventually reveals a pixelated image as your reward.
Finally, there is ACA NeoGeo Puzzled, another entry in the growing lineup of NeoGeo ports. It is a "stacking" puzzle game, similar in a lot of ways to Tetris or Columns, and was originally developed by SNK. Hamster has been bringing new installments in the apparently successful line to Switch on a weekly basis, though eventually it is bound to run out of classics to refurbish.
Customers who are anxious to build their Nintendo Switch library can find dozens upon dozens of titles on the eShop service, where they can make purchases using either a credit card or a card purchased at a major retail outlet. Do you see any additions this week that you would like to add to your digital library?

Sugar content: 38 grams (per 32 ounces).
McDonalds Sweet Tea contains 3.12 mgs of caffeine per fluid ounce (10.57mg/100 ml).

LÉvangile vivant (également Grand Évangile, Évangile des vivants et variantes) était un évangile gnostique du  écrit par le prophète Mani . Il a été écrit à l'origine en syriaque et appelé l' Evangelion (), du  (« bonne nouvelle »)  et était l'une des sept écritures originales du manichéisme . Un certain nombre de fragments sont conservés dans le Mani-Codex de Cologne (découvert en 1969) et sur des fragments de manuscrits trouvés à Turfan à partir de 1904. Certains fragments de manuscrits coptes récupérés au Fayoum semblent contenir une sorte de commentaire ou d'homélie sur l'Évangile.

Al-Biruni, qui avait encore accès au texte intégral, a fait remarquer qu'il s'agissait d'un « évangile d'un genre particulier », différent de tous les évangiles des chrétiens, et que les manichéens insistaient sur le fait que le leur était le seul véritable évangile et que les divers évangiles des chrétiens déformaient la vérité sur le Messie<ref>Schneemelcher, Wilhelm (ed); Wilson, Robert McLachan (English transl.1991; 2003): [https://books.google.com/books?id=TDW0PeFSvGEC&pg=PA380&lpg=PA380&dq=al-biruni+Living+Gospel+Messiah&source=bl&ots=OKCNLcBZDV&sig=C8FZTAIUNtufm3fsUL1o_46dCLY&hl=sv&sa=X&ei=unSeT7fiFonZ4QT14o2qDg&sqi=2&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=al-biruni%20Living%20Gospel%20Messiah&f=false New Testament Apocrypha: Gospels and related writings.'''] Cambridge: James Clark; Louisville, Kentucky: John Knox Press. Pp 406-411. (Link and website checked 2012-04-30.)</ref>.

Il y a une tendance dans l'érudition historique à confondre l'Évangile vivant de Mani avec une autre de ses œuvres<ref>Schneemelcher, Wilhehelm (ed); Wilson, Robert McLachan (English transl.1991; 2003): [https://books.google.com/books?id=TDW0PeFSvGEC&pg=PA380&lpg=PA380&dq=al-biruni+Living+Gospel+Messiah&source=bl&ots=OKCNLcBZDV&sig=C8FZTAIUNtufm3fsUL1o_46dCLY&hl=sv&sa=X&ei=unSeT7fiFonZ4QT14o2qDg&sqi=2&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=al-biruni%20Living%20Gospel%20Messiah&f=false New Testament Apocrypha: Gospels and related writings.'] Cambridge: James Clark; Louisville, Kentucky: John Knox Press. Pp 409. (Link and website checked 2012-04-30.)</ref>, connue sous le nom dErtenk ou Ardhang / Arzhang ( ; « message de vérité ») ou Le livre d'images. LArdhang était en fait un livre d'images, du nom dEikōn en grec et en copte. Il s'agissait d'un livre contenant des illustrations pour accompagner et faciliter la compréhension de la cosmologie de Mani. Photius (ou pseudo-Photius) commente le texte, disant qu'il contient un compte rendu falsifié de certains des actes de Jésus, tandis que Pierre de Sicile insiste sur le fait qu'il ne contenait aucun tel matériel.

On sait que l'évangile comportait 22 parties, chacune étiquetée par une lettre différente de l'alphabet araméen. La combinaison de deux fragments de Turfan permet la reconstruction du texte de la première partie (alaph). La section traite de la nature du « Roi du Monde de lumière'' » qui réside au « Nombril du Monde » mais est aussi présent sur toute sa terre, du dehors comme du dedans, n'ayant de limites que là où sa terre confine celui de son ennemi, le « Royaume des Ténèbres ». Schneemelcher (1990) suggère provisoirement que le texte peut avoir été conçu comme un évangile de type gnostique, peut-être destiné à commenter ou à remplacer l'évangile chrétien.

Q: Validate a String on an Integer's input, Ruby I'm practicing a little with Ruby and I want to handle the age's input, for example if someone types "eleven" instead of 11, I want to show a message that, the person know he/she can't use a String.
Here's my code
saludo = "Hola ¿Como te llamas?"

puts saludo
STDOUT.flush
#STDOUT es una constante global que almacena las salidas del programa. flush vacía cualquier dato almacenado, y por lo tanto, limpiará cualquier resultado anterior.
nombre = gets
STDOUT.flush
puts "Entonces te llamas #{nombre}"

puts "¿Cuantos años tienes?"
edad = Integer(gets.chomp)
#gets.chomp elimina el /n de gets
#El .to_i pasa el String a Integer
if edad > 0
  if edad >= 18
    puts "Eres mayor de edad, puedes votar y esas cosas"
  else
    puts "Tienes que moverte con el permiso de tus padres."
  end
else
  puts "prueba"
end

A: I've always just done it this way. Adding a method to the String class to do the check with makes things a lot easier.
class String
  def is_i?
    !!Integer(self)
    rescue ArgumentError, TypeError
      false
  end
end

puts "1".is_i?
puts "asda".is_i?

Some people may not like it, because it uses exceptions, but I think it's fine.

A: If you want to check the datatype of the input, you can use something like this:
input = gets.chomp
input.class == Fixnum

Since, every input in ruby is taken as a string, you can convert the input to integer using to_i like:
input = gets.to_i

Check if the input value is 0 which is the default value taken by the strings converted to integer as below:
if input == 0
puts("Please enter an integer")

A: When you do Integer(gets.chomp) if gets.chomp is not an strictly integer string (i.e. 1, 2, -12, etc), it will raise an error
So you can do this:
input_string = gets.chomp
edad = nil
begin
  edad = Integer(input_string)
rescue
  puts "#{input_string} is not an integer"
end
# edad will still be nil if there was a problem

A: If you're using gets and you expect to receive a number, parsing this to integer, then you can "skip" the chomp, this way using gets.to_i, you can convert the input from the user in an integer, and you can see that everything that's not a number is converted to 0, so you can check if edad after the operation is 0 edad.zero?, and this way to show your message:
puts '¿Cuantos años tienes?'
edad = gets.to_i
if edad.zero?
  puts 'Debes ingresar un número'
end

You can initialize edad as 0, and then using until to create a loop, which asks the user to enter a number, so, when edad takes a non-zero value the code outs from the until loop, and you can pass the next step:
edad = 0
until !edad.zero?
  puts '¿Cuantos años tienes?'
  edad = gets.to_i
  if edad.zero?
    puts 'Debes ingresar un número'
  end
end
puts edad

A: input = gets.chomp
if input != "0" && input.to_i == 0
    puts "Invalid age format. Integer expected"
else
    age = input.to_i
end

A: A more Ruby way
Use a case-expression which allows you to compare your input with string-ranges thus negating the need to use String#to_i:
#age.rb
loop do
  puts 'Enter age'
  case gets.chomp
  when /\D/
    puts 'Digits only, try again', '======================'
  when '0'..'17'
    puts 'too young'
    break
  when '18'..'120'
    puts 'old enough'
    break
  else
    puts 'Invalid age, try again', '======================'
  end
end

Using Kernel#loop ensures you continue asking the user for an input until they enter a valid age. Valid ages are defined in the case-expression as 0 - 120. If a valid age is entered the loop is broken with break.

Running the code
$ ruby age.rb
Enter age
eleven
#Digits only, try again
#======================
Enter age
10000
#Invalid age, try again
#======================
Enter age
5
#too young

$ ruby vote.rb
Enter age
35
#old enough

He also helped spark the site-specific performance revolution in Melbourne in the 1980s with TheatreWorks' production of his first play Storming Mont Albert By Tram (1982). What became known as The Tram Show played over a dozen years to packed trams in Melbourne and Adelaide, generating around a million dollars at the box office and trambulating a total distance that would have taken the production halfway around the world. Its success lead to an outbreak of 'location theatre' in Melbourne throughout the 1980s including Paul's other plays: Breaking Up In Balwyn (1983, on a riverboat), Living Rooms (1986, in an historic mansion) and Full House/No Vacancies (1989, in a boarding house). These works became the subject of his doctoral thesis Really Moving Drama (University of Queensland, 2013). Both The Tram Show and another play, On Shifting Sandshoes (1988) were awarded AWGIES (Australian Writer's Guild Awards), as was Return of The Prodigal (2000) an episode of Something In The Air. Paul has written five feature films Neil Lynn (with David Baker in 1984) Traps, All That is Solid and One Way Street (with John Hughes in 1985, 1988 and 1990) plus the Greater Union Award nominated Exits (with Pat Laughren in 1980). He has taught Literature and Screenwriting at Southern Cross and James Cook Universities, and conducted workshops and script consultancies for Screenworks Northern Rivers, and QPIX in Brisbane. His novel, 33 Postcards From Heaven was first published by Gondwana Press in 2004, and is now available online as an ebook. He has also published numerous articles, reviews, stories and interviews in magazines such as Metro, Cinema Papers, Cantrill's Filmnotes, Australasian Drama Studies, Community Theatre In Australia, The Macquarie Companion to the Australian Media and Theatre Research International (Cambridge University).view less

Q: Smallest even number. Let $N$ be an even number. What is the smallest even number $d$ that divides $N$ such that $N/d$ is odd? I know the answer has to be a power of 2 (and not just a multiple of 2). But why?

A: Here we can use the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: "Every integer, greater than one, has a unique prime factorization"
In symbols:
$$\forall x \in \mathbb{N} : x = p_{1}^{\alpha_1}p_{2}^{\alpha_2}p_{3}^{\alpha_3}\ldots, \quad \text{where } p_{n} \in \mathbb{P}, \alpha_n\in \mathbb{N}$$
Since $2$ is a prime, we can say:
$$x =2^{n}\cdot p_{2}^{\alpha_2}p_{3}^{\alpha_3}\ldots$$
If $x$ is even, $n>0$ ...
Then divide by $2^{n}$
$$\frac{x}{2^{n}}=p_{2}^{\alpha_2}p_{3}^{\alpha_3}\ldots$$
Then you have to just prove that the left side is odd... (Hint: $2$ is the only even prime number)
