The latest March Madness betting odds has North Carolina still the favorites to win the 2009 NCAA Men's basketball tournament. As overwhelming of a preseason favorite as seen in years, the Tar Heels are currently 5-2 to win the Big Dance.
Connecticut is next at 7-2. Two Big 12 teams have essentially switched spots from the preseason rankings. Texas, considered in the preseason as the third most likely team to capture the Final Four championship is now 50-1, while Oklahoma has skyrocketed to 12-1.
As far as expert March Madness predictions are concerned, most handicapping experts seem to agree the race is wide open.
"The Sooners have the best player in the country Blake Griffin and the top freshman in Willie Warren," says Joe Bartelle of BetOnSports360.com, in predicting Oklahoma will emerge as champions.
Few teams have plummeted as far as Georgetown, now at 100-1. Despite previous postseason early exits, Pittsburgh is the choice of Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com. "Sam Young, Levance Fields, and DeJuan Blair make the Panthers the team with the most true star go-to players," insists Gould.
Other strong contenders including Louisville at 10-1, Duke at 15-1, and once top-ranked Wake Forest at 15-1. Gonzaga at 40-1 and Butler at 60-1 is the mid-major most likely to wear the glass slipper.
Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com projects the four top sees to be North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, and Connecticut.
Godsey says the best dark horses are the teams that will be the final Big East and ACC entrants. Villanova at 50-1 or even Florida State at 150-1 could certainly bust some March Madness bracket picks.

Ubisoft Forums > For Honor > General Discussion > Wardens need a way to open up nobushi.
View Full Version : Wardens need a way to open up nobushi.
Currently it seems to be the hardest matchup in the game, and in my opinion, is beyond what could be considered a rock, paper, scissors approach to balancing.
At least when other classes face eachother, even if they are both parry/ blocking gods, theres always a way to mix up some of your moves and feints to open them up. But Nobushi is such a hard counter to warden in every aspect its feels often times pointless unless matched up against someone with a few 100% lower K/D than you. Mainly because wardens bread and butter is parrying for the GB, or shoulder bash mixups.
--A parry wont net you anything at all. This is already a giant advantage to have over any player in this game.
--Shoulder bash will never happen when it needs to be charged up in order to close the distance of a spear, and nobushis fast pokes just outright stop this.
--GB, again is frankly impossible to pull off considering you need to close the distance of a spear. Maybe if you can back her into a wall, then parry, then sprint to her and then GB, but its very obvious your going for this, and terribly easy to CGB at this stage. In my experience this is fairly pointless.
--wardens side attacks are too slow, and will get you parried.
Youre left with 3 moves, zone attack, top light attack, and landing a top crushing counterstrike.
--Nobishis top attacks may be the hardest to get the crushing counter on as its got an extremely short telegraph, and if you manage to land just one on her, she wont give you another. Most nobushis wont give you one anyway.
--So if Nobushi holds a left guard in order to auto block zone attacks, and keeps an eye out for the only other attack (a top ligh attack), Its checkmate. You got nothing.
This is how i feel playing Kensei against nearly any character in the game. Without the Zone-attack option of course.
nobushi is my nemesis as a valk main. the only long range character i cant beat with my strikes. i just have to dodge and strike or use the shield crush.
A Warden complaining about a Nobushi. Lmao, sorry but I just can't take this seriously.
"Wardens need a way to open up nobushi. " Just tell that you love her.
If you parry a light you get a top heavy, if you parry a heavy you can do zone attack, if you cant beat nobuchi with warden you are simply Worse player then the nobuchi.
Also you can dash forward to initiate the shoulder bash into double side lights and initiate the vortex after a heavy parry, works most of the times , of course the nobushi has a small window to dodge away or use hidden stance to retaliate the second shoulder bash.
Wardens are actually one of my favourite classes to duel, as it always feels like a fairly even fight. Our first light is really quite slow, and outside of that we can only heavy or side dash heavy (sidewinder) to open, so as long as you're competent at blocking you should have no problem simply walking towards us to close the gap.
Hidden stance is another matter, however, as it counts as the first move in a combo that means the second light will come out quite quickly. That said, not a lot of people use it, and it can be quite dangerous to use from neutral ground as it leaves us open to any kind of quick attack.
Now, the GB matter is funny. We might be outside your GB range on a parry, but that goes both ways. As long as you're not right in my face, you're also too far away for a GB on parry for me.
As far as zones go, as far as I'm concerned you've got the superior one for dueling. Even though it doesn't do a lot of damage, it can make us panic enough that you can open us up properly. Ours may do a lot more damage, but is a lot easier to block and even parry.
Lastly, not use your 50/50? That's the one thing that destroys me when facing a Warden. Not saying spam it or anything, but if you're having trouble against us then by all means break it out in an emergency.
Actually against good nobushi, spamming shoulder bash is risky because she can hidden stance it and the warden eats 2 lights.
Hidden stance won't help against SB into GB so it's risky to use it this way.
Yep. In most cases HS doesn't even activate fast enough to mitigate the vortex spam. You can do it from a bit of distance, but not when they just barge in.
Yeah I guess that would be an issue on PC. HS is so dodgy on console that no one uses it, but with the input fix coming in 1.5 I'll finally be able to use it and counter those pesky Warden 50/50's ;) haha.
The risky part is the light after hidden stance comes out very quick and will cancel shoulder bash and the guardbreak.
Watch LightningCount and Kinseymister, they very very rarely get hit by shoulder bash and that is what they do.
What are you crazy? attacking first? turtle up, use the unlock """"""TECH"""""" (it's in the game so it's legit) or stare at her switching guard likea maniac until she'll eventually drop her mask and goes away from the match.
Except Wardies other classes have some of the most bullsheez amount of forward momentum in their attacks -- hence even a simple attack attempt basically puts you within GB/SB distance -- in which case, like said, HS doesn't activate fast enough. Once the Wardie makes it inwards, forces the Nobushi to guard any type of attack, then the burden of recovery time will often prevent HS from activating in time.
Hate to break it down to you, but this is simply a 'git gud' matter. Nobushi is my favorite hero to fight againt, no matter what hero I play as, since her attacks are so predictable. Parrying her lights is the easiest thing in this game honestly, and if you manage to parry her lights you ALWAYS get a TOP HEAVY. If you parry her heavies YOU ALWAYS (as warden) get a free ZONE ATTACK. Closing the gap is also incredibly easy since all you have to so is walk towards her, maybe throw a little dash in there, and BLOCK. You know, block, the fundamental of this game.
If the Nobushi is a parry Queen (very common in high tier since that's all they can do due to their predictable kit) just feint or use your shoulder charge. If they do go into hidden stance when you use shoulder charge, simply cancel it. Hidden stance disables Stamina regeneration for Nobushi so they can't use it every time you shoulder charge.
It really is a git gud issue, and you, as a warden, have no rights to complain over a Nobushi. That's just sad.
Another thing to look out for is their light attack cancel into hidden stance. If a Nobushi abuses this, just be extra careful. As soon as you see that she has entered the Hidden Stance, you can just throw out a top light, it's too fast for her to react to when she's already in Hidden Stance.
I don't main Warden, but I have played some Nobushi (rep 5) and I'm not new to the game at all (total rep 24). When you learn to parry you will cry over joy that the enemy is a Nobushi, just pray she doesn't abuse her zone bug.
Nope, first, after a heavy parry, the nobushi actually has a small window to dodge the shoulder bash without getting GBed, and even if she gets hit by the first by the first shoulder bash, she has enough time after that to hidden stance and double lights to cancel the subsequent shoulder bash.
Warden has plenty ways. Nobushi simply has somewhat more range, but besides ... warden has many frame advantages, faster block recovery, overall stronger defence faster attacks, vortex. Whereas Nobushi .. nothing alike, kinda fair. Like Kensei, only with a swifter and more varied, therefore harder to counter moveset. If you're on console, i can't see Nobushi being much of a problem. Maybe different on Pc where it is somewhat easier to react to warden cheese?
Trust me. There's nothing different in PC. Whatever difference applies both ways.
The sheer amount of cards the Wardie holds over Nobu means basically an uphill battle all the way for Nobushi players.
and BLOCK. You know, block, the fundamental of this game.
Dude, this is the reason this forum is such a flaming dumpster of salt & chinese snakeoil adds. Nobody can just have a simple conversation about stuff without a wall of condescending, undercut insults. If you have good points and arguements, theyll stand up perfectly fine on their own, just like all the others that were able to disagree with me without making it personal. Im not campaigning for a nerf, but looking to have a conversation and see what others think. Thats why I said any thoughts or ideas? instead of Hey hit me with 3 pages of "go F yourself for having an opinion I disagee with".
Also next time you could at least check your stats when you tell others to "git gud".... Cmon.
Parry a light attack for a free overhead heavy.
You're complaining about a mid tier character as an S tier character, so that's probably why he said it was a L2P issue.
And just to be clear; I didn't even insult YOU. I'm sorry you took it personal, but I was generalizing it. I said Nobushi is a simple hero to counter-play, and I said that it's a matter of learning how to parry her lights, not that YOU are bad, that YOU can't parry them.
If you ask for opinions, learn to handle feedback.
Stop vortexing and use your other skills. Nobushi murders Wardens that keep spamming shoulder bash.
Lol Jesus guys, OP wasn't complaining, he specifically said no nerf to Nobu, he was just asking for strategies in opening them up. Telling people to git gud doesn't make anyone else think you're cool.
She's similar to Orochi or Valkyrie, wait for them to attack and parry, or dodge and GB. Unfortunately, these types of match-ups create the turtle game.

Thank you so much for the wonderful coverage of the quilt market. Quilting gets me so excited and you just topped it off. The first year I went to the quilt festival, Fat Quarter Shop had a booth and I spent hrs in it. I've miss it not being there, my husband can't say the same. I don't know what I will find this weekend, but I can't wait.


This is a divesite that is usually visited near the end ot the day. It is a relatively shallow site with less life than most of the other divesites in the area, but the chance of seeing a cuttlefish usually makes up for this. There are several cuttlefish in the area, and are usuall found hovering around the bommies in the area. The cuttlefish is an interesting little animal. as it has similar behaviors as the octopus. The cuttlefish rivals the octopus in its ability to change color in an instant. I prefer the watching the cuttlefish change color it has some irridescent qualities to the colors around its fins. Other animals that are here include blue spotted rays, anemonies, and featherstars.
Cuttlefish cove is a small divesite and all one needs to do is wander around the bommies in the area and wait. It is best to move slowly as cuttlefish have excellent eyesight and will probably see you first. Wait around the bommies and explore all of them. There is also the reef wall to explore, where numerous small caves are found.

WEST HOLLYWOOD (L.A. Magazine) — Rage nightclub has been a destination for LGBTQ+ nightlife in the bustling Santa Monica Boulevard corridor of West Hollywood for decades. Now, nearly 40 years after first opening its doors, the club has announced it has permanently closed, yet another local business to collapse amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rage nightclub management lays some portion of the blame on their landlord, Monte Overstreet. The club's now-former general manager, Ron Madrill, told Q Voice News that rent for the location was already "very high" prior to operations shutting down in March. He says he believes an impasse over rent payments may have contributed to Rage's closure.
Overstreet also reportedly owns the space formerly occupied by neighboring bar Flaming Saddles Saloon, which also announced […]

NEW YORK CITY (TMZ) — Anderson Cooper is the proud new father of a baby boy … revealing Wyatt Morgan Cooper to the world.
The CNN anchor took to Instagram Thursday night to reveal earlier this week Wyatt was born via surrogate. Cooper said, "As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I'm grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son's birth."
As for Wyatt's name, 52-year-old says it's in honor of his dad, who passed away when he was just 10, saying, "I hope I can be as good a dad as he was."
Anderson also shared a sweet message about his surrogate, saying, "Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing – what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children."
Finally, Anderson says, "I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues." His mother, Gloria Vanderbilt died last year.
Wyatt is Anderson's first child … Congrats!!

(TMZ) — "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" was no place for gay people … so says one of the stars.
Francois Clemmons, who played Officer Clemmons from 1968 – 1995, says in his new memoir, Fred Rogers got wind of the fact Clemmons was gay, pulled him aside and said, "Franc, you have talents and gifts that set you apart and above the crowd. Someone has informed us that you were seen at the local gay bar downtown. Now, I want you to know, Franc, that if you're gay, it doesn't matter to me at all."
And, then the other shoe dropped … "Whatever you say and do is fine with me, but if you're going to be on the show as an important member of the 'Neighborhood,' you can't be out as gay."
Clemmons told People Rogers told him secrecy was the only way … "You must do this Francois … because it threatens my dream," adding, "I was destroyed. The man who was killing me had also saved me. He was my executioner and deliverer. But, at the same time, I knew that he would know how to comfort me."
According to Clemmons, whose memoir is titled, "Officer Clemmons," Rogers also told him the audience didn't care who he was sleeping with … "especially if it's a man."
And, there's more … according to Clemmons, Rogers urged him to marry a woman, and he obliged. Clemmons married La-Tanya Mae Sheridan. They divorced in 1974 and later Clemmons came out.
He says he forgives the legendary TV host … "Lord have mercy, yes. I forgive him. More than that, I understand. I relied on the fact that this was his dream. He had worked so hard for it. I knew Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was his whole life."

My name is Robin Cutlip.
I am a mother, a Nana to three of the cutest grand-babies, a wife to my best friend, and a Special Education teacher at Webster County High School.
Now, I am running for House of Delegates for District 44.
This was not a decision that came lightly, but I need to stand up for my fellow teachers, my students, and my community. I teach my students every day that they are responsible for their future – that they must stand up for themselves and for others around them. If I do not stand up and try to enact change for our area, my words will mean nothing to them.
District 44 is one of the most beautiful districts in our state. It includes all of Webster County, part of Nicholas, Randolph, and Upshur County. I want our community to be proud of our area and I want them to have a voice for change. Working together we can make this the best district in the whole entire state. I will fight for everyone and I will listen to everyone.
We will all make decisions together and become stronger than ever.
Our fight must continue - join now to keep this momentum going!
Thank you for signing up! I'll be in touch soon.

Alexey Nikolayevich Krutikov (; 20 July 1895 - 23 April 1949) was a Soviet military leader.

A veteran of the Imperial Russian Army during World War I and the Red Army in the Russian Civil War, Alexey Krutikov graduated from the Frunze Military Academy in 1931 and General Staff Academy in 1938. He was appointed 7th Army chief of staff in November 1940 and served as the commander of the 7th Army between January 1943 and August 1944.

He closely collaborated with Marshal Kirill Meretskov while chief of staff for the Karelian Front (September - November 1944), chief of staff for the Maritime Group of Forces (April - August 1945), and chief of staff for the 1st Far Eastern Front (August - October 1945).

Biography

Early career
Alexey Nikolayevich Krutikov was born in Kineshma, Kostroma Governorate on 20 July 1895. Conscripted into the Imperial Russian Army at the outbreak of World War I in 1914, he fought at the front as a junior officer (poruchik) after an accelerated junior officers' training course. He joined the newly formed Red Army of Soviet Russia in 1918 and joined the Bolshevik Party in 1919 during the Russian Civil War.

Advancing through the Red Army ranks in the interwar period, he graduated from the Frunze Military Academy in 1931 and the General Staff Academy in 1938. He was promoted to kombrig in 1939 and made a major-general when the traditional general officer ranks were first introduced into the Red Army in June 1940.

Appointed a senior instructor at the General Staff Academy in August 1940, he then took up the position of chief of staff for the 7th Army of the Leningrad Military District in November 1940.

World War II
Following Finland's entry into war with the Soviet Union on the side of Germany after the launch of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, the 7th Army temporarily formed part of the Northern and Karelian Fronts until autumn 1941, but remained in eastern Karelia as the 7th Independent Army afterward. Succeeded as its chief of staff by Colonel M. I. Peshekhontsev, Major-General Krutikov was named 7th Independent Army commanding officer in January 1943 and promoted to lieutenant-general in April 1943. The 7th Independent Army rejoined the Karelian Front (now under Army General Meretskov) in the spring of 1944.

In June 1944, the Karelian Front turned to offensive operations. Destruction of enemy forces between Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega fell to Lieutenant-General Krutikov's 7th Army, tasked with attacking in the Olonets-Pitkyaranta-Sortavala direction after forcing the Svir River. One rifle corps with a tank brigade was detached to clear the western shore of Lake Onega with Filip D. Gorelenko 's 32nd Army, which received orders to destroy the concentration of enemy troops around Medvezhyegorsk and cooperate with the 7th Army in liberating the city of Petrozavodsk before moving onward.

Expecting a Soviet offensive, the Finns withdrew from the Svir and their forward positions in the Medvezhyegorsk area, permitting the 7th Army to quickly reach the Svir on the evening of 20 June. The following morning, the 7th Army commenced a full offensive forward and reached the opposite side of the Svir within twenty-four hours, its advance preceded by three-and-a-half hours of artillery bombardment from 1,500 guns and bombing by over 3,000 aircraft from Lieutenant-General Ivan Sokolov's 7th Air Army. Though slowed down as a result of the slow movement of supplies across the Svir, the 7th Army took Olonets and closed in on Pitkyaranta with the support of Naval Infantry from the Lake Ladoga Flotilla within a week. Compelled to withdraw again, the Finns now abandoned Petrozavodsk to the Soviets on 27 June 1944.

Though successful in eliminating the first two of three Finnish defensive lines between Loymola and Koyrinoya in July after being reinforced by a new corps and tank brigade, Krutikov's 7th Army did not manage to break through the final defense at the Battle of Nietjärvi and the front stabilized. Despite this last-ditch success, the Soviet attacks had virtually exhausted the Finnish reserves.

Succeeded as commander of the 7th Army by Lieutenant-General Vladimir Gluzdovsky, Alexey Krutikov replaced Lieutenant-General Boris Pigarevich as chief of staff for the Karelian Front in September - November 1944. Following negotiations in the summer of 1944, the Moscow Armistice ended hostilities between Finland and the Soviet Union in September 1944 and resulted in the Lapland War between Finland and Germany. The following month, Meretskov's Karelian Front launched the Petsamo–Kirkenes Offensive against German forces in northern Finland and northeastern Norway on 7 October 1944, the last major offensive in an Arctic environment. Assisted by Naval Infantry assaults launched by the Northern Fleet, the Front forced German troops in the Finnish north to begin a retreat into Norway on 15 October. Soviet troops freed the Norwegian port of Kirkenes on 25 October, leading the Germans to commence evacuation operations for the German forces in Norway's Varanger Peninsula the day after. The Soviets reached Neiden on 29 October, ultimately stopping at Tanafjord as the Germans retreated further westward to Lakselv.

The Red Army's successful operations in the far north were recognized with Kirill Meretskov's promotion to Marshal of the Soviet Union on 26 October 1944. In spring 1945, Meretskov had Krutikov appointed his chief of staff when made commander of the Maritime Group of Forces along the borders of the Soviet Far East, with Stavka's reorganization of the Soviet forces in preparation for an assault on the Kwantung Army of the Japanese making Meretskov and Krutikov the newly organized 1st Far Eastern Front in August 1945.

War with Japan

On 9 August, the Soviet Union began the invasion of Japanese Manchuria (Manchukuo) with a three-Front assault on the Kwantung Army. Attacking the heavy concentration of Japanese troops in eastern Manchuria from the region between Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, the 1st Far Eastern Front linked up with Marshal Rodion Malinovsky's Transbaikal Front in the west in a successful entrapment achieved with concealment and surprise while Army General Maxim Purkayev's 2nd Far Eastern Front joined in from the north. Concurrently, elements of the Front's 25th Army fought into Japanese Korea with the support of Naval Infantry deployed by the Pacific Ocean Fleet.

When Hirohito's announced assent to unconditional surrender came on 15 August, most of the Soviets' objectives in Manchuria had been attained. Despite complete encirclement by Soviet forces, Kwantung Army resistance in Manchuria lingered for several more days and was  especially stiff at Mudanjiang, a Japanese stronghold blocking the way to Harbin and Jilin. On 15–16 August, some of the most intense fighting in Manchuria took place as the 1st Far Eastern Front's 1st Red Banner and 5th Armies forced the Mudan River and captured Mudanjiang. On 20 August, the last resistance to the Soviet forces ended with recognition of Japan's defeat.

Post-war career
The 1st Far Eastern Front was disbanded at the end of the war in 1945, with Marshal Meretskov being made commander of the Soviet Far East's Maritime Military District and Lieutenant-General Krutikov remaining as his chief of staff. He was made deputy chief of the Department of Military Colleges at the Ministry of Defense of the USSR in Moscow in 1946. He died on 23 April 1949.

Select Quotes from all the compliments we have received.
Class act. Thx so much.
The course was outstanding, maybe the best I have ever seen. The competition for us in the gold races were all we could handle, and the parking and facilities were first rate. The set up yesterday was much better than many of the NY State meets I have attended in my 30 years of coaching.
I had several seniors approach me after their race and say this was one of their favorite courses they have run in high school.
Authorized for NY, NJ, DE, MD, WV, OH, VA and others, as needed.
Place your varsity in the race where you believe you will get the best competition. The A race is the "hot" one. In its first four years, the meet hosted six future Foot Locker Finalists, including 2010 national champ Aisling Cuffe of NY, PA's Sara Sargent of Pennsbury in 2009, and PA's own Angel Piccirillo of Homer Center in 2010 and 2011, the latter in which she earned all-American; plus Brendan Shearn of North Schuylkill, and Regan Rome of Dallas and Kennedy Weisner of Elk County Catholic in 2012. Rome also qualified in 2013. That makes it FIVE years and a Foot Locker Qualifier EVERY YEAR!
Across Rt 100 from the 2011 Meet Headquarters. Better rate... better breakfast.

Q: How to get ifelse() throwing data frames? Why won't these ifelse()s don't throw data frames (or matrices)?
x <- data.frame(a=1000, b=100)
> x
     a   b
1 1000 100

> ifelse(x[, 2] >= 8, x, NA)
[[1]]
[1] 1000

> ifelse(x[, 2] >= 8, x[1:2], NA)
[[1]]
[1] 1000

> ifelse(x[, 2] >= 8, cbind(x[[1]], x[[2]]), NA)
[1] 1000

The second column is always missing. How to get this right?

A: From its help file:

ifelse returns a value with the same shape as test which is filled
  with elements selected from either yes or no depending on whether the
  element of test is TRUE or FALSE.

So it does actually return a dataframe if the input is a dataframe:
ifelse(x[, 1, drop = FALSE] > 0, 10, NA)

But in your case it is easier to use
if (test) x else NA

A: Below quoted lines about return value from ifelse are very important (taken from help) in order to understand behavior of ifelse

Value
A vector of the same length and attributes (including dimensions and
  "class") as test and data values from the values of yes or no.
Details
If yes or no are too short, their elements are recycled.

In summary it suggests that for each row and column in test section of the corresponding data values will be returned for yes and no.
Lets take few examples to understand it.

x <- data.frame(a=1000, b=100)

ifelse(x[, 2] >= 8, x, NA)
# Test : 1 row and 1 col. Hence return is x[1]
# [[1]]
#[1] 1000

ifelse(x[, 2] >= 8, x[,2], NA)
# Test : 1 row and 1 col. Hence return is x[,2][1]
#[1] 100

ifelse(x >= 8, x, NA)
# Test : 1 row and 2 cols. Hence return is x[1,1] and x[1,1]
# [[1]]
# [1] 1000
#
# [[2]]
# [1] 100

ifelse(x >= 8, 4, NA)
# Test : 1 row and 2 cols. Values are recycled. 4 & 4 for corresponding row/col
#    a b
#[1,] 4 4

#Change x to 2x2
x <- data.frame(a=1000:1001, b=100:101)
ifelse(x >= 8, 4, NA)
# Test : 2 row and 2 cols. Result will be 2 x 2
#     a b
#[1,] 4 4
#[2,] 4 4

Now, what option does one have to handle such problem?
Certainly one can use if as suggested by @Jordi. But just be careful that if is not vectorised. Hence test condition is applied only on 1st element when vector is used in test condition. To handle those situations, functions like any or all comes very handy and make it possible to to use vector as part of test condition in if.


The War Moves from Iraq to Vietnam to the Dallas UPI Offices in 1975. Time Travel Much?
In the Kansas City Star on Sunday, columnist E. Thomas McClanahan wrote that when it came to predicting how the war in Iraq was gonna turn out, he was pretty much wrong, wrong and wrong. (As in, from April 2003: "Iraq has been destroyed as a haven for terrorists." See? Wrong.) But it wasn't enough for McClanahan to fall on his own sword. He had to go and turn the blade on his former United Press International colleagues in Dallas as well. And he does it, like, 31 years after the fact.
And it's got a former UPI man hot under the journalism collar -- so much so he sent a letter to the Star and copied it to Jim Romenesko's media-news Web site, for all to read. But, essentially, it boils down to this: McClanahan says soldiers in Iraq "suspect that many reporters want us to lose" -- just like reporters wanted us to lose in Vietnam, to the point where Dallas-based reporters in 1975 "cheered" when they received the news that Saigon had fallen.
Tom Foty, the former UPI man who was with the wire service's radio network operation in New York and Washington from 1973 to 1984, says he doesn't believe that ever happened.
Three decades ago, I was working in United Press International's Dallas bureau, which controlled broadcast and newspaper wires for nine states. One sunny day in April, bells started ringing from the dozens of printers scattered around the room.
We knew it was an item with "flash" priority, which carries 10 bells. I looked down. A printer tapped out: "Saigon falls." What happened next was astonishing.
Many of my colleagues, young journalists who had come of age politically during the heyday of the anti-war movement, stood up and cheered. Oh, goodie. The United States has lost a war. Many were my friends, but the scene left me cold. That virus -- the deep, unquestioning antipathy for all things military -- still infects many in today's media.
But Foty, in his missive to the paper, defends his former UPI colleagues thusly: He says the original UPI "flash" that came across the wire on April 30, 1975 -- written by Leon Daniel, UPI's war correspondent and a Marine veteran -- is time-stamped 10:20 a.m., which would have been either 8:20 p.m. or 9:20 p.m. C.S.T. depending upon whether South Vietnam observed Daylight Savings Time. (Actually, using this, it appears the time in Dallas would have been 10:20 p.m.) Either way, Foty writes, that's hardly "one sunny day in April," as McClanahan writes. And there would not have been "many" people in the bureau at that hour, he says.
For Mr. McClanahan to assert what he does is to impugn at least the professionalism, if not the patriotism, of his 1975 Dallas colleagues and by extension, others then at UPI and now at other media organizations.
Unfortunately today's UPI is little more than a famous name, no longer a vital news organization and not one that is likely to take issue with Mr. McClanahan's broad assertions. That is not the case among his former UPI colleagues. Internet list recollections of him confirm his UPI employment in Cheyenne and apparently a shorter time at UPI's Southwest division headquarters in Dallas. There is no corroborating recollection of the picture he describes .... nor anything closely resembling it at UPI's many other bureaus or New York headquarters. At bare minimum, Mr. McClanahan owes history and his ex-colleagues an identification of those "many friends" who acted so unprofessionally ... if not an apology.


If you're a foodie who cannot go through dinner without beef steak or Caribbean-spiced pork tenderloin, you'll definitely need a butcher knife for filleting beef or carving up cutlets of pork or veal.
Though a good quality of chef's knife or Japanese kitchen knife suffices for cutting, slicing, dicing, mincing, and julienning veggies and fruits, a butcher knife becomes indispensable when it comes to dressing cuts of meats.
Keeping one in the kitchen relieves you from the hassle of having to use the chef's knife every time you need to cut or portion meat thereby prolonging the latter's shelf life.
Since the market is flooded with a wide variety of knives each with its distinctive set of features, how to pick and choose the one that best meets your needs and preferences? In this review we have listed and reviewed the 10 best butcher knives for your sake so that you can take your pick without squandering time, money, and effort.
Victorinox cut its teeth in the world of cutlery more than 130 years back when most other butcher brands did not even exist. Each and every professional chef as well as experienced homemaker worth his or her salt is aware that Victorinox is a brand they can bank upon when it comes to picking up a performance-oriented and durable butcher knife. Take the Victorinox Swiss Army Field Dressing Kit for instance.
The kit contains a set of five blades that come in perfectly handy for cutting, portioning, deboning, paring, and filleting large and small cuts of meats and fishes. Also included are a 10-inch steel rod with a sturdy and beveled handle that you can use for sharpening the blades from time to time, and a cutlery roll bag for safely storing and carrying the knives.
The blades have been fashioned out of premium grade of carbon steel and the finishing has been done in Switzerland by skilled and seasoned craftsmen.
The quality of the blade material together with the fabrication and tempering processes imply that not only will the products perform beyond your expectations but also stay functional for years.
The 10" German Steel Cimeter blade from Update International is definitely one of the best butcher knives that meat cutters, chefs, and homemakers can use for slicing refrigerated cuts.
The 15-1/4-inch long blade of the Update International has the perfect heft and the right degree of curvature from handle-end to tip that helps in effortlessly dicing through pork, chicken, snapper, salmon, veal, and venison.
This is a full-tang knife which means it can be firmly held by individuals with varying hand sizes and offers a good heft while filleting large salmons, snapper, and other species of fish.
The blade has been crafted out of high quality German carbon-steel that makes it extremely hardy and electroplated with molybdenum vanadium that keeps it rust and stain free.
The 5-3/4-inch white handle too has been constructed from toughened material and permanently soldered with the blade. Maintaining it is easy as well as you'd just need to rinse the piece in warm soapy water after use and wipe dry with a soft towel.
The 7111 Old Hickory Butcher Knife features an incredibly sharp 10-inch blade that can be exploited to the hilt throughout the food processing industry.
Professional butchers engaged in abattoirs and slaughterhouses and chefs employed in restaurants will be able to make the most of the heat-treated, high carbon-steel blade for cutting, chopping, slicing, and sectioning meats.
The tough and durable 'Old Hickory' handle crafted from premium grade of hardwood has been permanently attached to the blade and riveted with brass press-studs to ensure it stays in place.
As the blade is full tang, chefs and meat cutters get a solid edge while cutting through meats or removing the skin firmly attached to bones. The high carbon-steel material can be honed from time to time, thus helping you to hold on the knife's cutting-edge sharpness.
The ergonomic design of the handle makes sure that you are able to hold the shaft tightly without sacrificing comfortableness. Also, the hardwood handle adds to the aesthetic appeal of this Old Hickory Butcher Knife by Ontario Knife Co, making the surroundings of wherever it is stored, look graceful.
The 10-Inch Straight blade with granton edge and black fibrox handle is another quality cutlery product from the Victorinox house that fully deserves the 'best' tag.
The straight blade typified by the elliptical granton edges running through the entire lower surface lets you handle the most grueling of butchering and cutting jobs. The supreme sharpness makes the slicing and portioning tasks quite easy even when you dealing with large meat cuts and whole roasts.
The blade has been fabricated out of high carbon stainless steel that not only makes the cutting edge hardwearing but also adds to its sharpness. The comicality of the tip or edge of the blade opens it up for performing smooth cuts and wedges.
The transition between the blade and the handle is bolsterless enabling you to use the entire length of the blade as well as facilitates in easy sharpening.
The proprietary Fibrox handle has been designed keeping ergonomics in mind which boosts firm and comfortable holding.
The fine texture of the handle also makes the shaft highly resistant to slippage.
The 7" Cleaver, Chinese Butcher Knife with high carbon stainless steel blade and ergonomic handle from SKY LIGHT is surely one of the best butcher knives money can buy.
The 7-inch blade has been forged out of premium grade of German high carbon stainless steel that makes it ideal for effectively completing cutting through ribs as well as finishing dicing, slicing, mincing, and chopping jobs. Since this butcher knife is heavier than traditional chef knives, cutting through thick slabs of bony meat becomes much easier.
The forging process used for shaping out the blade makes it highly resistant to wear and tear, corrosion, and stain marks. The edging of the knife at 17˚ to the plane enables you to chop your way through pork, beef, chicken, and veal without breaking a sweat.
Additionally, the acute angular edging lets you hone the blade remarkably easily. The bolster between the blade and the handle together with the three rivets reinforces your grip and minimizes fatiguing of the fingers while holding the cleaver for a long time period.
The Victorinox Cutlery 8-inch curved breaking knife with black Fibrox handle comes in ideally handy for those who find best butcher knives with 10-inch or 12-inch blades unwieldy.
A seamlessly curved 8-inch long blade permanently attached to a Fibrox handle can be pressed into service when cutting or slicing down large sections into smaller cutlets and portions.
The entire blade has been stamped out of high carbon stainless steel produced out of cold-rolled steel which imparts the cutting edge with maximum sharpness.
The carbon steel material also helps in retaining the sharpness of the edge for a longer time. The conical edging of the blade contributes to in-depth cutting. The blade material has been ice-tempered to ensure that the sharpness holds for an extensive period.
The edge of the knife is without a bolster which allows you to make use of the entire blade and also helps in re-sharpening. The handle shaped out of signature Fibrox material makes it very hardy and its grainy texture checks slippage. The mirrored finish of the blade protects it from corrosion, stains, and normal wear and tear.
The 5-piece Old Hickory Set 705 from Ontario Knife is highly sought after by the top notch chefs, meat cutters, and cooks. The set of five - one slicing, one butcher, one boning, and two paring blades will come to your aid when you need to cut up, slice, dice, mince, and chop cuts of meat.
Each and every piece in the set has been molded out of tempered and heat-treated 1095 carbon steel that imparts extended longevity to them.
Every part of the set comes with a sturdy and attractive handle made out of hardwood. The handle is firmly tethered to the blade piece via compressed brass rivets.
Once the blade and the handle are attached to each other, the blade is given a thorough sharpening so that it takes on razor-edge sharpness. Ontario Co established in 1889 in New York enjoys very goodwill amongst its customers and so you can trust your money on this 5-knife set.
The S112-10PCP 10" butcher knife from Dexter Russell is as good as any Victorinox or any premium knife brand, matching the best butcher knives in terms of performance and longevity.
The USP of this full tang, straight 10-inch blade is its pointed tip that helps chefs to butcher meats into desired portions and cuts with relative ease. The blade has been sharpened by highly experienced and skilled craftsman that equips the piece with the capacity to cut and chop through any type of meat.
Premium quality of stainless steel has been used for shaping out the blade which will be preferred by those who are put off by the hassle and tedium of maintaining blades made out of carbon steel.
Though the piece (the blade and the handle together) tips the scales at .58lbs, the weight is evenly balanced out between the two sections enabling you to grip it comfortably. The patented Grip-Tex handle is very heavy-duty and the textured surface minimizes skid.
The 7" professional butcher knife by Chicago Cutlery is a cleaver-styled knife that will come to your aid when or whenever you need to chop, slice, and cut up meats or section veggies in the kitchen.
The blade of the Chicago Cutlery cleaver has been fabricated from military grade stainless steel which makes it ideal for processing meats any and every way you want day in and day out. The cleaver knife doubles up as a vegetable cutting knife and as a butcher knife.
The hardiness of the stainless steel ensures that the blade remains resistant to routine wear and tear as well as corrosion. The ergonomically designed grip handle permits you to hold the knife for long time periods without causing fatigue to your fingers.
The Nunchi Japanse VG-10 Stainless Steel blade is the perfect companion to any kitchen.
While not a typical butcher's knife, the Nunchi has no problem has no problem slicing through tenderloins, soft tissue, thick cuts and even bone if needed.
The blade is hardened VG-10 stainless steel that will not let you down even rough and continuous use. The handle is not really ergonomic or comfortable for prolonged use, which is very typical for Japanese knives.
Overall, it is a great choice for a jack of all trades type of blade that you can feel confident that it won't let you down when you need it the most.
The origins of the humble butcher knife used in domestic and commercial settings can be traced back to the middle ages when Middle Easterners used curved swords better known as scimitars.
The scimitar used in the medieval period is believed to be the precursor of the modern-day butcher knife. The best butcher knives find widespread applications not only in catering and food processing industries but also in household kitchens.
Butcher knives have broad blades, usually broader than the grip, and tend to be quite heavy and somewhat curved. The broad and hefty blade of a butcher knife comes in perfectly handy for slicing, chopping, mincing, and trimming meat portions of different sizes.
How To Tell A Butcher Knife From A Chef's Knife?
Should You Go For A Stamped Or Forged Butcher Knife?
Butcher knives are classified into two broad categories based on the mode of blade's construction-forged butcher knives and stamped butcher knives.
A forged blade is shaped out from a single steel bar that is heated to a very high temperature and thereafter beaten into a desired shape.
The forging is either done by a skilled craftsman or by machine. The best butcher knives are usually equipped with forged blades and happen to be pricier than the ones carrying stamped knives.
Blades chiseled out of forged steel also tend to be heavier, denser, and hardier than their stamped counterparts.
Stamped blades, on the other hand are carved out from a large steel sheet and subjected to heat treatment and sharpened for making these hardy.
A stamped blade is lighter and thinner than a forged blade and is directly inserted into the handle without a bolster.
The bolster is the connecting point between the handle and blade that serves as a counter-balance as well as boosts the knife's durability.
Forged butcher knives always have a bolster. However, a bolster can be imparted to laser cut or stamped knives as well.
The blade material: The blades of butcher knives are invariably forged or stamped out of steel. In this respect, good butcher knives have blades crafted out of VG-10 steel which is a cutlery-grade stainless steel manufactured in Japan. The VG-10 variety of stainless steel has a very high carbon content which makes the material highly resistant to corrosion and stains. 420HC and 440 are two top quality grades classified under the 400 stainless steel series, reputed for their lasting sharpness and immunity to rusting.
The handle: The handle of the butcher knife plays a key role in making the cutting and slicing job easier. Therefore, an ergonomically designed handle is a must-have for any top grade butcher knife. A handle that has been designed keeping ergonomics in mind will let you grip it comfortably as well as firmly.
The best butcher knives normally have handles constructed out of plastic that are easy to hold, maintain, and clean. Nevertheless, plastic handles are liable to fracture or crack if the knife if and when subjected to unusually high temperatures.
The knife edge: Blades of butcher knives by and large have a straightened, serrated or Granton profile. Blades with a straight edge as the term clearly indicates have no curves and happen to be razor sharp. Granton-edged blades have recessed sections running along the lower surface that help in slicing and mincing tasks. Blades having a serrated edge are suitable for chopping through crispy as well as soft surfaces.
Flexibility of use and hardy: A premium butcher knife always happens to be flexible implying that they do not chip or fracture when cutting through tough textures.
How Much Will A Best Butcher Knife Cost?
Butcher knives are available at varying price points. If you're looking for a quality butcher knife that performs efficiently yet is affordable, you'll be disheartened.
It is always more practicable to spend a few more dollars in order to buy a topnotch knife rather than choose a cheap one and be compelled to buy a replacement within a short period of time.
Closing up, it can be convincingly said that out of the total 10 best butcher knives reviewed in this, the models from Victorinox and Ontario Knife Co. stood out from the rest. Even the Dexter Russell, Nunchi, and Reed Sharp butcher knives made the mark as they had all the features befitting a quality butcher knife.

I'm starting a new blog section on design for the web. I've been using the web and creating websites for almost 20 years now (hands up those who knew it's been around that long), and have learnt a thing or two. But it bugs me that web designers are still overlooking some pretty basic design issues. And by design, I don't mean graphic design. I mean design in the sense of how something is constructed, with a view to how it's used.
If you're a programmer and don't think you're a web designer, think again. You are the one implementing the design and so you are essential to making things work for the user.
2) send the page back to the user to fix input "errors" that the programmer could fix themselves.
A good example that combines the two of these is handling numbers. Bank account numbers, phone numbers, etc.
The designer has helpfully made the box quite large but unhelpfully set the maximum lenth at 9 characters, because hey, that's the maximum length of an account number.
Why create a long field and only allow half of it to be used? That's just teasing. And if you don't want anything other than numbers, just filter the input to take out anything other than a number.
Often these bounce back with an "error" saying "Enter the amount in the format 1234.00", or "Please enter your phone number in the format "0312345678" without any dashes or spaces".
Programmer, if you want the numbers in a specific format, just do it yourself. It takes one or two lines of code, and you're not unnecessarily annoying the hundreds, thousands or even millions of people who use your website. Why aren't you doing everything you possibly can to make it easy for your users?

Le château de la Grange est un château situé à Servières, en France.

Description
Le château de la Grange présente un plan rectangulaire et uniforme de pierre du pays surmonté d'un chemin de ronde à mâchicoulis de gros merlons de granite; la façade est ouverte par une très belle porte Louis XIII dite « à facette de diamant » typique du Gévaudan d'Ancien Régime, porte à rapprocher de celle d'autres châteaux et vieilles demeures de la région comme le château du Champ. La façade du logis féodal est percée de huit grandes fenêtres à meneaux en grès rose.
Le bâtiment est à rapprocher du château du Fort (Chambon-le-Château), du château de Rocheblave et du château de Chanterelle de Saint-Vincent-de-Salers.

Localisation
Le château est situé sur la commune de Servières, dans le département français de la Lozère.
On découvre le château dans un domaine couvert d'une forêt de pins noirs.

Historique

Datant du , le château, d'aspect médiéval et dont l'apparence a peu été remaniée, a été bâti par la famille Borrel (), appelée Borrel de Chanoilhet à partir du  puis de Borrel de Lagrange au .
Cette famille, notable dans la région, jouit du titre de seigneur de Lagrange, de Servières et de Chanoilhet.
Elle fit des alliances avec l'aristocratie considérée du Gévaudan telle que les Retz de Servières ou les Salin de Saillant.
Un document de 1716 recensant les biens nobles exemptés d'impôts précise que le domaine de Lagrange dégage 315 livres de revenus aux Borrel. Cela permet de se faire une idée du train de vie modeste des habitants du château (à titre de comparaison, le salaire annuel d'un sergent était en 1726 de 234 livres, celui d'un lieutenant de 900 livres, et le prix d'une vache de 50 livres).

De cette génération, survit Marie-Adélaïde de Borrel de Chanoilhet qui épouse Jean-Baptiste de Florit de la Tour de Clamouse de Corsac, le . Ce dernier est commandant de la compagnie de Corsac à l'armée de Condé, inspecteur des gardes nationales de la Lozère et chargé du commandement militaire dans les départements de l'Ardèche, du Gard et de la Lozère après la seconde Restauration. Il est maire de Mende en 1815.
Ses descendants possèdent le château jusqu'en 1912, date à laquelle décède Urbain de Corsac, dernier du nom, qui s'éteint dans la maison des familles de Gourcy-Récicourt et de Chapelain, anciennement établis au château du Champ.

L'édifice est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques en 1999.

Continental Circuits LLC v. Intel Corp., 18-1076 — On Friday in an opinion by Judge LOURIE, the Federal Circuit vacated a district court judgment of noninfringement and remanded. Continental's patents were directed to a "'multilayer electrical device . . . having a tooth structure' and methods for making the same." Continental argued that the district court erred in interpreting claim terms to require that the dielectric material involved be "produced by a repeated desmear process." The Federal Circuit agreed, saying that none of the statements in the specification rose to the level of a clear and unmistakable disclaimer, and that disclosing only one embodiment, without more, did not result in a clear disavowal of claim scope.
Last week IPO Executive Director MARK LAUROESCH submitted comments on behalf of IPO for the U.S. Trade Representative's annual Special 301 Review. IPO's 27-page letter commented on numerous inadequate IP policies in specific countries and in international fora. The purpose of the Special 301 Review is to obtain information about countries that deny adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights or deny fair and equitable market access to U.S. entities that rely on IP protection. A Special 301 Subcommittee will hold a public hearing, at which IPO intends to testify, on 27 February. USTR is expected to publish the 2019 Special 301 Report on or about 26 April.
IPO's International Patent Law & Trade Committee, with help from other IPO Standing IP Committees, assisted with preparing the comments. Thank you to that Committee's Chair STEPHEN W. BAUER (Medtronic, Inc.) and former Committee Co-Chair ANOUK BOON (Shell International B.V.) for spearheading this effort.
Last week Reuters reported that trade talks that resumed today in Beijing between the U.S. and China are expected to focus on China's intellectual property policies.
Tune in to the IP Chat Channel™ on Wednesday at 2:00p.m. ET to explore the impact of recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Helsinn v. Teva and other cases related to the on-sale bar, such as Barry v. Medtronic, a recent Federal Circuit opinion subsequent to the Helsinn decision, and the en banc Federal Circuit decision in Medicines Co. v. Hospira. Our panelists — in-house counsel JENNIFER CARNAHAN (Dow Chemical Co), tech transaction specialist RANDALL COLSON (Haynes & Boone LLP), and litigator ROB ISACKSON (Leason Ellis) – will provide important takeaways for counsel. These cases highlight the importance of carefully evaluating the structure of technology-driven investments, joint ventures, joint development agreements, and other supply arrangements to minimize the likelihood that a conditional transaction will be characterized as an offer to sell a later-patented invention.
