Hey everyone! Let's jump right in.
Much of our recent work has been invisible, back-end kind of stuff. (Growth is great, but growth requires infrastructure!) Most of that's still boring, so we'll just mention the parts that affect you.
But still, we've made strides on the exciting parts of our brand: new products, new partnerships, new content, new chances to win stuff, and more opportunities to cast your votes at our table.
We'll even make it easy—scan this article for this color to see confirmed rumors and upcoming insider detail!
We're sorry for being out of things. Let's talk about it.
We're sorry. Really, we are. We feel your pain.
While selling out of something is a "good problem" for us, please believe us: we'd rather have your notebook to sell you!
We couldn't predict the future (well enough, yet). For one thing, more of you showed up sooner than we expected. Also, some things ran out faster than others because we couldn't perfectly predict how each notebook would sell.
Our manufacturing process takes some time, as does transport from manufacturer to here. When you think about it, even a literal factory needs time to fully build, package, and case thousands of notebooks from scratch. Then, that multi-ton shipment has to travel halfway around the world. In all, it takes a few weeks—even if there's no delay. There's usually at least one delay, like customs (which we can't control).
We've tried to improve product design over a shorter time. Our Travelers have been out for a while. To be honest, we could have ordered more Travelers made a bit sooner than we did. But we knew we wanted to improve the design—and not just for looks, but to "sand off" one of the few areas of the Traveler prone to defects. Why multiply a weak spot for 6 extra months when a 3-week delay might fix it forever?
We installed waiting-list functionality on our product pages. Lots of people asked if they could be notified when their notebook of choice came back in stock. We've installed that feature right on each product page—so if it's out, drop in your email and you'll get an automatic notification as soon as it's back!
We're continuing to diversify. This year, we started with 10 products for sale. We've recently added two accessories and we're getting ready to introduce more stuff (more below). That should help spread things out... unless you just want everything.
We're now carrying the Quiver, a super-awesome pen holder that straps snugly to our notebooks. (Made by the company of the same name.) It comes in two sizes: one for the Monolith, one for the Origin.
Special Editions. We've been saying for a long time that they're coming back... but this time, we've actually gotten special-edition samples made.
It's an old-world nautical style... deep navy, with goldenrod accent pages and bookmark. Minimal branding—just our ampersand debossed into the corner of the cover, but without any colored infill.
Those are next in line for our factory—so start setting aside pocket change!
Custom-made content (in collaboration with customers). When we start conversations with customers, we try to listen and think as openly as possible.
For example, we recently had a handful of people ask: how does our paper respond to different inks? We know our product, of course—but we don't know how it interacts with everything out there. And customers weren't just curious about different fountain pens; they wanted to know about things like watercolor, too. We wanted to have informed answers, but we realized we couldn't get those answers except from people who'd know what to try.
So we wrote them back. We said: we're curious too. So we'll give you something (either a discount or tester notebook) and ask you to test what you've got. Write us back, send pictures, and we'll publish the results. We're sure others are curious, and you'd be helping them out (not to mention us!).
More contests! In the past couple of months, we've hosted two contests on social media: one asking what it means to be a creative, another showing off your notebooks in their natural "wild" habitats. Both were smashing successes—so we're going to keep doing them!
Our plan is to launch at least one social contest per quarter. So keep your eyes peeled and your wits handy, because there will be more chances to win free stuff!
Old world nautical style? Navy and goldenrod sounds like an elegant way to chart my journey. Sign me up!


I'm thinking about New Year's resolutions and my writing goals. I already have my publishing schedule for this year and deadlines set by my publisher, but what about my goals for managing my career as a writer?
After I received my first publishing contract I quickly discovered that the business of writing involves so much more than writing a publishable story! In fact in a hyper-crowded marketplace, marketing can make all the difference.
This year I decided one of my NYE resolutions should be to consciously manage my writing career, including paying more attention to marketing.
Sounds easy, right? For me, it isn't because I have a day job that's demanding in terms of time, emotional and physical energy (a private speech pathology practice which I own, work and manage!), a family to love, enjoy and organise and a home and several animals to look after, and friendships to enjoy and nurture. No different from most other writers and my health is pretty good, yet I find it a juggling act and I confess that I don't always catch all the balls I throw up into the air, so what can I do better?
I'm told I need to spend time daily both writing and setting aside time to attend to 'author-ly business'. I can't write every day, but this year I've resolved to either write and/or attend to some of the business of writing on a daily basis. This should also help me focus on my writing career more.
Every minute spent marketing—whether it's through social media, blogging, newsletters, book signings, organising pre-launch promotions, answering emails from readers or organising promotional merchandise—takes time away from writing. It's important to continue the momentum of promotion from one book so that it flows on to the next. So I'm going to try to find a better balance.
In 2019 I hope to find more time to develop my writing as a business.
Anybody got any good tips to help me along the way?
What are your writing New Year's resolutions?
Love to Love: Meeting goals I've set.
Love to Learn: About how to improve my approach to managing my writing career.
Hi Alyssa! I don't make New Year's resolutions as I just can't keep them, but I've chosen BALANCE as my word for the year. Book marketing is such a demanding and time-consuming thing, isn't it! I hope you get to achieve your own Balance this year.
Thanks Marilyn! Balance is a great word but often difficult to achieve. Hope you find it, too!
Great to hear you're manuscript will be out there. I'm looking forward to hearing which publishers you have sent to at the next meeting!!!
Hope the entire family stays healthy and that 2019 brings publication for you.
Hi Alyssa, Iike you I have an time intensive working week. One of the best suggestions I've received to improve my productivity is counterintuitive and used successfully by people much busier people than myself. The suggestion is to take 10 minutes alone each day and do something completely relaxing, creative and non-productive. The person who gave me the advice reads poetry aloud and alone. He works over 100 hours a week and finds this downtime contributes to his success. An unusual but successful idea. I hope it helps you in your busy year ahead.
Sounds wonderful, Sharon. Usually no matter how late I am getting to bed, I sit with a cuppa and have headspace to plan my next day. I'll have to build something relaxing on top of that!
Hi Alyssa. Trying to find the balance between reading/writing/marketing is going to be my big challenge this year too.
It's probably a challenge most writers face. For those who have the time, the challenge is probably then to avoid distractions!


Just wondering if there were specific guidelines for lifetimes of the string/struct params and returned structs with the NDI SDK?
How long is p_sources valid for (presumable the caller shouldn't free() it) - and is this thread-safe?
It'll be valid until the next call to NDIlib_find_get_current_sources or NDIlib_find_destroy, so probably not thread-safe if you're using the same instance across multiple threads.

NBA Star's Kick to the Groin Sparks Online Debate
It sure looks like Dwyane Wade kicked Ramon Sessions in the groin on purpose. At least, that's the opinion of most Internet-dwelling sports fans, among whom the clip embedded above has been getting some significant run on Thursday.
The video comes from Wednesday night's game between the Miami Heat and Charlotte Bobcats. As you'll see, the superstar Wade is fouled by the role-player Sessions, and splays out a leg that just happens to land with not inconsequential force between the legs of Sessions — who then falls to the ground in (probably very real) pain.
Some 20 hours after the game, this video had been viewed more than 100,000 times on YouTube.
Many fans on Twitter and other digital sports bars decried Wade as a cheap shot artist. And it isn't just fans who have took notice — ESPN.com published a column titled, "Is Dwyane Wade a dirty player?"
Sessions said after the game that he thought the kick was intentional and the NBA will suspend Wade for one game, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Take a look for yourself, then let us know what you think in the comments: Dirty cheap shot, or incidental contact?

The History of The Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368) Facts, Beginning and The Decline
Barsbold Baatarsuren Travel tips May 21 min read
Kublai Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Borjigin clan, established the Yuan dynasty as China's ruling dynasty. Despite the fact that the Mongols had governed lands comprising today's North China for decades, Kublai Khan did not officially proclaim the dynasty in the traditional Chinese form until 1271. By this time, he had separated himself from the other khanates, and he ruled over most of modern-day China and its environs, including modern-day Mongolia and Korea. It was the first foreign dynasty to control all of China, and it reigned until 1368, when the Genghisid kings returned to Mongolia and established the Northern Yuan dynasty.
The Yuan dynasty is seen as a successor to the Mongol Empire as well as a Chinese imperial dynasty. Following the division of the Mongol Empire, it was the khanate controlled by Möngke Khan's successors. The Mandate of Heaven was given to the Yuan dynasty after the Song dynasty and before the Ming dynasty, according to official Chinese historians. Kublai Khan founded the dynasty, though he listed his grandfather Genghis Khan as the dynasty's official founder as "Taizu" in imperial records. Kublai announced the new dynasty's name as Great Yuan and claimed the succession of prior Chinese dynasties from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the tang dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty Facts
Genghis Khan, an illiterate nomad, established the Yuan kingdom.
The Yuan Dynasty, which began in 1279 and was led by Kublai, was the first foreign-led dynasty in ancient China.
The Kublai dynasty was the first to employ paper money as the primary currency.
During the Mongol period, the traditional Han ethnic group remained at the bottom of the four-class system.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the famed Italian adventurer Marco Polo visited China and presented the country to Europeans.
Origins of Yuan Dynasty
Genghis Khan (1206–1227) was a Mongol ruler who reigned from 1206 until 1227.
By defeating the Western Xia and conquering Central Asia, Mongolia, and the Hexi Corridor, Genghis Khan and his sons laid the groundwork for the Yuan Dynasty. This provided them with a sufficient supply of troops, horses, technology, and experience to complete the conquest of the strong Jin army and subsequently conquer the Dali and Song empires.
The Mongol kings were wealthier and given power as a result of trade on the Silk Road trade routes through the Hexi Corridor. As wars developed, their control of this land corridor allowed their armies to easily march east or west.
Ogedei Khan (ruled 1229–1241)
When Genghis Khan died in 1227, he nominated his son Ogedei to succeed him as emperor. From 1229 until 1241, Ogedei was supposed to have ruled the entire Mongol empire, though he focused his efforts in the east.
He conquered the Jin kingdom in 1232, forming an alliance with the Song empire. In 1234, Jin was defeated.
Ogedei began a battle against the Song Dynasty in 1235.
Kublai Khan (Ruled 1260–1294)
Kublai Khan was Genghis Khan's grandson. He ruled for a long time and restructured the empire to expand his authority and prosper the empire.
He conquered the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan Province in 1253.
Kublai Khan launched a battle against the Southern Song Dynasty in 1259.
After his elder brother, Mongke, died in 1260, Kublai ascended to the throne.
He and another brother went to war after learning that his elder brother, the Great Khan Mongke, had perished. They each aspired to be the Khan.
Kublai triumphed in a series of conflicts. The Mongol Empire was split as a result of this. The Golden Horde, which ruled over Russia and the Chagatai Khanate, refused to acknowledge Kublai Khan as their ruler.
However, Kublai Khan's other brother, who controlled the Ilkhanate in the west, paid Kublai honor but was virtually independent of him. Kublai lost control of these vast Mongol territories in the west.
As a result, in 1260, the eastern section of the empire became a power center. He used the government framework established in the Jin and Song empires to rule his empire, but he replaced the officials with foreigners.
Kublai further separated himself from his Mongol kinsmen when he made Dadu (modern-day Beijing) his capital in 1266, claiming he didn't follow Mongol ways and wasn't loyal to the Mongols.
Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty in 1271, coexisting with the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty court retreated to Quanzhou in 1227. A wealthy Muslim merchant attacked them there. In 1279, they retreated to Hong Kong, where the court attempted to make a stand, but were soundly crushed by the Mongols. In 1279, at the age of nine, the last emperor died there.
Kublai Khan began issuing chao (paper banknotes) in 1273. This was a significant advancement in banking and monetary policy. Although paper currency was printed and utilized during the Song Dynasty, the Yuan empire was the world's first dynasty to employ it as the primary circulating medium.
The advantage of paper money was that it was easier to carry and use a big amount of coins.In the 1270s, Kublai launched enormous forces against the Song people. The Mongols seized Hangzhou, the Song capital, and most of the Song Dynasty clan in 1276. Two young brothers of the captive Song monarch, on the other hand, managed to flee to the south.
Beginning of The Yuan Dynasty
Emperor Shizu (ruled 1279–1294)
In the naval battle of Yashan in 1279, the Mongols fully subjugated the Southern Song. Emperor Bing, the final emperor of Song, drowned in the sea with a devoted minister when he was eight years old. The Song Dynasty came to an end.
Kublai was able to gain genuine control over northern and southern China in the end. Emperor Shizu of Yuan was his name.
Islam Became a Minority Religion in the Yuan Political System
Despite their origins as nomads, herders, and hunters, the Mongols successfully ruled the empire for the first few decades. This incredible dynasty revolutionized the region's administration and culture.
Foreigners became the rulers and administrators during Kublai's reign, which was a significant change. They brought in a big number of Muslims and other individuals to assist them run the empire since they didn't trust the locals.
Yuan's Theater and Literature
The Mongols did not emphasize or cultivate traditional Chinese literature, philosophy, or culture at first. They were more pragmatic in their approach. They wanted to have a good time, therefore they enjoyed theatrical productions with lots of action and Mongol-style music, as well as large feasts and celebrations.
For both the emperors and the public, Mongol reign was a time when popular entertainment blossomed in colloquial vernacular.
Major works in the vernacular language were written in the genres of fiction novels and theater.
The Decline of The Yuan Dynasty
Mingzong (1329–1332)
Natural calamities, such as plagues, droughts, and floods, have caused pain and death to peasants since the 1330s. The Little Ice Age began, and famines and natural disasters all around the world sparked political unrest at the same time.
The bubonic plague outbreak, sometimes known as the "Black Death" in Europe, began to spread over the empire in 1331. The plague wreaked havoc on the empire. In Hebei Province alone, millions of people died.
Emperor Huizong reigned from 1333 to 1367.
The Yellow River changed its course in 1344. This resulted in a huge flood, which devastated an important and populous region in the empire's heart. During the last few of decades, the river flooded twice more.
Massive famines also occurred. Between 1340 and 1380, there was a period of drought.
In 1351, an uprising known as the Red Turban Rebellion erupted. The Red Turbans claimed that the Yuan Dynasty's terrible rule was responsible for the natural disasters because they had lost the Mandate of Heaven. The insurrection was put down by the court, but another erupted soon after.
Zhu Yuanzhang, a key leader of the Red Turban Rebellion, conquered all of the other great enemy armies between 1356 and 1367. In 1368, he attacked and conquered the Yuan imperial capital of Dadu (Beijing). The Yuan court retreated to the north.
Mongolia became the Yuan Dynasty clans' final home. Mongolians attempted but failed to reclaim the empire. Mongolians became officials in the Qing Dynasty after forming an alliance with the Manchus.
The Yuan palaces were demolished by Zhu Yuanzhang. He founded the Ming Kingdom, a new Chinese dynasty.

Fundraiser Launched To Support Family Of NJ Police Officer Killed In 3-Car Crash Tuesday
Filed Under:New Jersey, Summit, Union County
SUMMIT, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Summit, NJ Police Athletic League has launched a fundraiser for the family of a police officer killed on his way to a work-related event Tuesday morning.
Summit Police Officer Matthew Tarentino died in a 3-car crash on the eastbound side of Interstate 78 in Bernards Township around 6:20 a.m. Tuesday.
A grey Toyota Camry was heading westbound on Rt. 78 when it crossed over the grass median and struck Tarentino's private vehicle which was travelling on the eastbound side, authorities said. A second car then struck the officer's vehicle. The driver of the first vehicle was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was also pronounced dead.
Tarentino was 29 and is survived by a wife and two children. His wife is pregnant with their third child.
"Our family has been shaken to its core with the loss of the most tremendous man, our brother, Matt," Tarentino's family said in a statement. "His character was unparalleled in today's age. Matt held himself to the highest standard and would not waver in times of adversity. He will always be remembered as a man of incredible strength and honor."
For more information or to contribute to the fundraiser, click here.
Tarentino was remembered by Summit Mayor Nora Radest as "vivacious and vibrant, very sincere, smart, hard working."
"He's touched so many people in this community," Radest said.
As an instructor in Summit Schools' DARE Program, Tarentino was set to attend a drug abuse education graduation program for fifth grade students later Tuesday.
"Officer Tarentino was an important part of the Summit community and a well-known face amongst the students and staff in Summit Public School," Superintendent June Change said in a letter posted to the district's website.
"Matthew Tarentino epitomized what a law enforcement officer should be: a respected, trusted colleague with unshakeable dedication and enthusiasm for his calling," Police Chief Robert Weck said in a post to the Summit Police Department's Facebook page.

Almost 100 'affordable' homes could be built on the site of a former council depot in Nuneaton.
A long-awaited planning application has been officially submitted, asking for the go-ahead to demolish the existing St Mary's Road depot in favour of 95 dwellings, all 'affordable' units, with associated roads, parking and open space.
Partner Construction and Inside Land Ltd, a nationwide housing contractor, has filed the application to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.
Should the plans be given the go-ahead, it will end the council 's near 60-year association with the land as it has been using the site as a depot for its maintenance and cleaning teams since 1959.
According to the council's website, a decision is set to be made about the proposals by March 29.
The old council depot in St Mary's Road has been sold, but the price tag remains a mystery.
While the planning application for the site has been submitted, it is still not known who the council has sold the land to or for how much.
It was back in August last year when it was confirmed it has agreed a sale with a residential developer for the depot site dependant on the firm obtaining planning permission for the proposed home.
It is widely known the council needs the cash from the sale of the land to help recoup the £2m plus it spent on moving the depot to a new site in Bermuda Park.
The saga surrounding the relocation to the new depot in Gresham Road is well documented, due to its controversial increasing costs.
There is also the current issue that the council still does not have a waste license for the new depot and, until one is granted by the Environment Agency, it is still having to use St Mary's Road to store, treat or dispose of a small proportion of waste collected such as street cleaning and fly-tipping.

I cannot wrap my head to figure a solution with Splunk query.
I could only find a solution when there is only one event_A expecting the corresponding event_B, using streamstats to keep of track the only one expecting event_A's TEXT prefix, and _time to scan for the satisfying event_B, but once there are multiple event_A's expecting with different TEXT prefixes and _time's, then I cannot find a way to remember and perform the scan for the multiple event_A's expectations.
With a conventional programming language, say Python, I'll keep track of the union of expecatant prefixes, and time windows, and scan the events against such history state.
Could you kindly help me! Thanks in advance!

To support this initiative, the Telemundo Station Group expects to immediately hire nearly 30 additional employees to boost the local newsrooms.

"All of our stations have a commitment to deliver the best local breaking news and weather to our viewers and this expansion will help us deliver the type of news coverage our viewers demand and deserve."

The network's daily entertainment show "Suelta la Sopa" will now air at 2 PM ET / 1 PM CT; "Caso Cerrado," hosted by the popular Ana Maria Polo, will now air at 3 PM ET / 2 PM CT; "Al Rojo Vivo con Maria Celeste," the Emmy-award winning daily news magazine that sets the news and entertainment agenda for Hispanics, will air at 4 PM ET / 3 PM CT; and "The Best of Caso Cerrado," will air at 5 PM ET / 4 PM CT, offering the best court cases packed in a completely new half-hour format.

The local news expansion continues the increased commitment NBCUniversal has made across the Telemundo network and at local Telemundo stations to better serve Spanish-language viewers across the country. Since 2013, NBCUniversal has made a series of investments to its local Spanish-language stations that make up the Telemundo Station Group, a division of NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations.

In addition to the production of news specials and documentaries, Telemundo Network recently announced the launch of a national weekend newscast, "Noticiero Telemundo Fin de Semana," that will premiere on October 4. It will be anchored by Edgardo del Villar.
Martinez added, "I am proud of the enhancements the Telemundo Station Group has made this past year, including the launch of new local newscasts in Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Jose, and look forward to continuing to honor our commitment of keeping our Hispanic communities informed with the critical news they need."

These 8 PS4 games from E3 will help keep Sony ahead
By Alex Martinet 2016-06-14T18:11:00.165Z
The hype is real for these choice games of E3 2016
A truly super star lineup
Sony closed out the first day of E3 2016 with a stellar list of exclusive titles for both PlayStation VR and the PS4. Every exclusive property that Sony produces continues to be bold and fresh, with fan favorites reappearing on this year's E3 stage to roaring applause.
It's been a long time coming but we're starting to see Sony's full lineup from satellite studios, like Sony Bend and Studio Santa Monica, come together in an impressive way and the patience is starting payoff for fans that remained patient.
God of War (Fall 2017)
Kratos is back and seemingly worn out from the events of God of War 3 in what appears to be a reboot of the series. He's now looking for someone to take his place, and that's his son – who still hasn't lost his innocence to the gods.
Judging from the footage shown, the reboot will focus on the connection between father and son as Kratos shapes him into a warrior. It's this dynamic that has us intrigued where the story goes.
Well, there's that and a viking-like Kratos swinging a battle axe around, which is tough not to get insanely hype over.
Dead Stranding (Fall 2018)
Hideo Kojima made his grand re-entry into the gaming world at Sony's press conference when he introduced his new game, Dead Stranding. Kojima Productions has said that its first game will be PS4 exclusive and developed in collaboration with Sony.
What's it about is hard to say. The trailer opens with the quote, "To see a world in a grain of sand / and heaven in a wildflower. / Hold infinity in the palm of your hand / and eternity in an hour."
Then we see a naked, digital Norman Reedus (of The Walking Dead and The Boondock Saints fame), holding a crying baby connected to his torso and beginning to cry himself. However, when Reedus looks away, the baby quickly disappears leaving only black oil on his hands.
This will be Reedus's first chance to work with Kojima after his Silent Hills project was unceremoniously canceled by Konami in 2014. Guillermo del Toro, who was the producer on Silent Hills, is currently not involved in this new project.
Spider-Man (Spring 2017)
Sucker Punch Productions, the team behind the Infamous games, knows how to create open-world superhero games. There are few studios that can do the subgenre better.
However, it turns out that the brand new Spider-Man game will be developed by Insomniac Games, creators of hit franchises, like Ratchet and Clank franchise and Sunset Overdrive. It's an awfully welcome addition to the PS4 lineup, but an odd source considering Sucker Punch's pedigree here.
Regardless, Spider-Man is one of the greatest comic characters, and Insomanic Games is clearly addressing the character's verticality and agility. Will it be an open-world title similar to Spider Man 2 on the PS2? Time will tell, but it's a great get for Sony.
Days Gone (Fall 2017)
Days Gone takes plays after an outbreak of a rage virus has wiped out humanity, causing the world to turn into ravaging zombies once again. The title definitely has the Last of Us vibes throughout, but it doesn't look like it's focusing on telling a linear story.
The demo showcased hordes of zombies infesting a small factory wherein the main protagonist was located. Hundreds of zombies chased down the protagonist in dramatic fashion until the demo ended.
From every angle, this looks like Sony's response to the Microsoft-exclusive State of Decay 2. It will be interesting to see whether Days Gone features a resource mechanic that make the player hunt for supplies, or how far toward the Day Z end of the survival horror spectrum it will go.
Horizon Zero Dawn (February 28, 2017)
The latest from Killzone developer Guerrilla Games continues to be a strong showcase for Sony's first-party lineup. The hunting mechanic – chasing down dino mechs and giraffes (?) – gives the game a new sense of scale not seen in its games before.
The story focus in Horizon is on a young woman's journey on a post-apocalyptic Earth to investigate what is corrupting the planets various species of mechanoid animals.
This marks Guerrilla Games' first new property in over a decade, and it looks far more colorful and varied than the studio's Killzone series. (And we're so far away.)
Resident Evil 7 (January 24, 2017)
The Resident Evil franchise endured a setback with Resident Evil 6, which introduced more characters and action than it could possible handle all at once.
RE7 looks like a proper response to the critical feedback and seemingly a trip back to the roots of the series: scaring the pants off you. Not to mention an obvious nod to last year's ill-fated P.T. demo game.
At least part of the game looks set in a haunted house, similar to P.T., that focuses on horrifying the player through jump scares rather than through facing horde a zombies. But again, this is but the first trailer. Finally, while this is a multiplatform game, being completely playable in VR on PS4 is going to set Sony's version far apart.
Detroit: Become Human (Fall 2017)
Beyond: Two Souls creator Quantic Dream's latest title follows a Choose Your Own Adventure format that the studio is now known for with Indigo Prophecy, Heavy and Beyond. However, Detroit: Become Human seems to blow that concept wide open.
The general gist of the game still revolves around making tough decisions that dramatically change the course of the story. Only this time there seems to be a more instantly-replayable factor to the game, but we could be reading into things.
More specifically, Detroit seems like a crazy melodramatic clash between RoboCop and Blade Runner, with you playing a police officer tasked with bringing in rogue androids. Seems like the perfect setup for a moody, futuristic story that's awfully telling of our world today – whaddya say?
Bonus round: anything Naughty Dog makes next
The Uncharted series just came to a fitting and epic conclusion in May via the lovely Uncharted 4. But, another development team at Naughty Dog is already working on the follow up to one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, The Last of Us.
Joe and Elle don't need to appear in a sequel. It could simply be a spinoff with a new cast of characters who are fighting to survive against the mutated plague. At this point, we'll take anything from these folks – just give us more please?

Just as the shape of a man's facial hair can change his appearance, the shape of the eyebrows can drastically change your appearance too. The overall appearance of our eyes is defined by the arch, length and thickness of the eyebrows.
Although there are a few other ways to shape your eyebrows, most of them are time consuming and have their own drawbacks. For example, tweezing leads to ingrown hairs with a great chance of getting acne or a pimple. Moreover, this method leaves your skin pores open and prone to infections.
Waxing, on the other hand, is very time consuming and should be done with maximum precision. It can also cause wrinkles or skin loosening.
So, instead of these two methods, you should try eyebrow threading – an impressive technique to shape your eyebrows using thread.
It's very simple and incredibly quick, and is a lot less painful and traumatizing.
Watch the video below to see how its done. With a little bit of practice you'll master it in no time!
Note: I prefer to put an ice cube on my eyebrows for a minute because it helps make my skin numb.

Tiffani Thiessen Weight
Posted On: 21 Mar, 2014
Husband/Spouse
36-26-35 inchs. Bra Size 34C
$13 million dollar
around 127 pounds.
Harper Renn Smith
A famous model, who has already won Miss Junior America of 1987, teen magazine "Great Model search of 1988, Cover Girl Magazine's model of the year of 1989 when makes début on the television sitcom, Saved by Bell as Kelly Kapowski, the world notices her. She proves her talent and becomes a notable figure in the television industry.
Yes, we are talking about Kelly Goddess of the 90s, Tiffany Amber Thiessen, who was a young sensation of 1990s. The show portrays Kelly Kapowski character as sweet "good two shoes" type of girl and Tiffany does proper justice to the role.
Saved by the bell was a show focusing on the teen culture of the 1990s more in a comedic style.
During the time, Tiffany was a teen sensation in America and her role Kelly was an idol for teen girls back then to such extreme level that teen girls of that time wanted to be just like Kelly when they joined high school.
The trend of being like Kelly is also known as Kelly Trend. The role of Kelly made her so popular that she got awards, shows and movies intensely.
After some rapid success, she established herself as a sex symbol in the industry for almost 20 years. Here recent ongoing work includes White Collar's Elizabeth Burke and recurring voice in Jack and The Never Land Pirates. You can follow on her works and career on Wikipedia in more detail later.
After the birth of her baby daughter, Harper Renn Smith in 2010, Tiffany feels like she is under pressure to stay slim as an actress because of the importance of real curves and thin weight in Hollywood.
She works hard for a year to recover to her original weight trying yoga, weight training classes, pilates, running, or everything means she finds possible with less stressing and important support from her husband.
She says in an interview in 2011 that she and her husband will like to expand the family but will not develop until one or two years because she will like to work for couple more years. She also shows super concern about her baby and even states that she will not put perfume when she is around the baby.
In an interview, she gives great comments about her view on her weight. On the question asking the ex-sex symbol of the USA about the pressure she got after her pregnant period till now. She answers genuinely saying, 'I think any time you are on a hit show as a young actor or actress, you feel that way.
'Then as a woman, there's some additional pressures you feel to look a certain way and be a certain size. I was not the girl that was a size 2 and didn't work for it. I was never the waify model type.'
Anyway, she is now looking good with her weight. She can achieve weight loss of about 45-50 pounds by 2012 which makes her weight around 155-160 pound which was 180-200 ponds after the birth of the baby.
Now in 2014, she weighs about 127 pounds. People admire the work, the 40 years old actress has done to stay fit as well as handle her personal life equally.
When she was modeling, many people regarded as a woman having a perfect breast in the world. In the line of those people, first expressing his thought to Tiffany was Howard Stern, an American multi-talented personality.
Now, she is on her 40's, and she may not have that sound effects in her boobs that once she had when she was a sex symbol in America, but we must admit she has done a lot of hard work to keep up her figure and her two precious assets still looks delicious.
Now it's time for her measurements. She was once a famous model and a sex symbol. One will expect a good measure and slim body configuration from her. And she has been able to fulfill those expectations.
Her bra size is 34c, waist is 26 inch, hip size is 35 inch, her breast (implanted) is 37 inch. She has an average height of 1.65 meters with beautiful meaty legs.
I am not an expert on measurements, but I know this much that these are a pretty much right figure for a woman of 40 years.
Talking about her hairstyle, she has past shoulder length waivy hairstyle which is brown and somewhat highlighted with golden color. She only switches to other hairstyles if her work demands her.
You can watch her hot photos and sexy scenes all over the internet. I would probably suggest YouTube and Wikipedia for that. Just reminds me of the statement I wanted to make in the first paragraph but waited for the ending.
I wanted to say it's an ironic situation now. When her first nude cover picture came out, it got banned, and now people can't even see her opening her jogging trousers. She was a sex symbol back then, and now she is a mother and a wife as well as an idol and renowned actress of Hollywood.
Perhaps, sex is just a part of life and indeed an important one, but it's not everything. So, people shouldn't make too much deal out of it. You need to evolve as a person. That's what I learn from the story of Tiffani.

EU Referendum Voting Guide: Vote Leave on immigration
If we Vote Leave... We will control our borders.
A vote to leave doesn't necessarily mean we will control immigration. It depends on what the government chooses to do with immigration policy, and what arrangements it negotiates.
They [migrants] also affect public services.
Impacts of immigration are likely to vary by local area. Immigrants may add to demand for and pressure on public services, but also contribute to financing and providing them.
Many migrants contribute to society.
Studies suggest recently-arrived EU immigrants contribute more to the public finances than they receive, although the effect is small.
More than a quarter of a million people came to the UK from the EU in the last 12 months – the equivalent of a city the size of Newcastle. If this continues for a decade, there will be over two million extra people.
Over a quarter of a million is correct according to official estimates, not quite as much as Newcastle's population.
EU law controls UK migration policy.
EU law means the UK can't control the number of EU citizens coming to the country, but we can perform border checks and refuse entry to certain people.
The UK can't control the number of EU citizens coming to the country, so in that sense our migration policy is controlled by the EU. That's been largely true since we joined, although the EU court has been important in extending its powers in this area. Control over immigration from other countries mostly remains in the hands of the British government.
But the UK can, and does, perform passport and identity checks at its borders and refuses entry to travellers who do not travel with valid identity documents even if they are from another EU member state.
EU law says that EU citizens can only be refused entry on "public policy, public security and public health grounds" and ultimately it's up to the EU court to decide what this means.
How much control we have over EU immigration if we vote to leave might depend on what trade relationship we negotiate with the rest of the EU.
If we wanted to continue to participate in the EU single market after leaving the EU, we could join Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein as members of the European Economic Area.
But free movement applies to EEA members, as it does to Switzerland, a non-EEA member with more limited single market access.
So controlling immigration might require leaving the single market as well as the EU.
Over a quarter of a million immigrants came from the rest of the EU in the year to September 2015, according to official estimates. Newcastle's population is about 30,000 higher.
While there's no definitive study, most estimates suggest the overall impact of immigration on the public purse is small. Research also tends to agree that recently-arrived immigrants contribute more than those here for longer, and that immigrants from other EU countries contribute more than those from outside the EU.
The impact on public services is difficult to be certain about. Immigrants may add to demand for and pressure on public services, but also contribute to financing and providing those services, particularly in the NHS. The impacts also won't be the same for everyone.
Update 08:18
The article originally said: "If we vote to leave, this wouldn't automatically mean we will control immigration from the EU. It depends on what the government chooses to do with immigration policy, and what arrangements it negotiates."
We changed it to this to make it clearer: "How much control we have over EU immigration if we vote to leave might depend on what trade relationships we negotiate with the rest of the EU."

More Than Functionality
Why buy an 800 dollar watch when you can tell the time on a perfectly functional Asian made watch for just 10 dollars? Well, you do not buy a Swiss watch just to know what time it is.
One of the reasons Swiss made brands are so popular is because of their rich history. The fine art of watchmaking has become extinct in most parts of the world with the exception of Switzerland. Although not the first country to make wristwatches, Switzerland was - and still is - the most ambitious and determined country. This is why MQT watches are filled with craftsmanship, century-long knowledge and a rich history of setbacks and perseverance.
To understand why Swiss made watches are so popular, one needs to learn about the high-quality standards used while manufacturing these watches. A Swiss made watch is not just a temporary accessory, a fashion fad or a trend: it can last for generations. From the movement to the case, quality materials distinguish Swiss made watches from most other brands. Solid steel links and cases – the reason Swiss made watches have that impressive, heavy feeling on the wrist - keep the watch in great shape for a long time. Also, solid steel is very resistant to rust and can be re-polished when scratched. MQT watches feature a synthetic sapphire crystal facing with an incredibly high scratch resistance, in order to keep your watch clear for many years. The movement of Swiss made watches are hand-assembled. This ensures, combined with the use of metal gears, great quality internal mechanisms. Not only are Swiss made watches designed to last, the use of high-quality materials enables watchmakers to repair scratched or broken parts, which explains why vintage Swiss watches are perhaps just as popular as the new ones.
Luxury Look
And then there is the look. Next to great quality and a rich history of craftsmanship, Swiss made watches also have a great appearance. A lot of effort is put into designing original, fine looking watches that are timeless and innovative at the same time. Due to the use of high-quality materials, MQT watches also have a luxurious look. If you are looking to buy a distinctive, handcrafted watch made with high-quality materials, built to last and love: 'Swiss made' is the answer. MQT watches a must have!

\section{Introduction}
One of the most elementary observables at hadron colliders is the total cross section. Precise measurements
at high energies have been pioneered at the SPS by the UA4~\cite{UA4} collaboration. The method requires
an instrumentation of the forward region far away from the interaction point but close enough to the beam
to measure small-angle elastic scattering. At high energies the $t$-value for elastic $p{\bar p}$ and $pp$ scattering
can be obtained from a measurement of the scattering angle $\theta$ by $-t=(p\cdot\theta)^2$ with the beam momentum $p$.
The scattering angle is reconstructed from the proton impacts in the forward tracking devices, usually located in movable
beam pockets, the so-called Roman Pots. On the other side, simultaneously with the elastic measurement,
the total inelastic rate must be determined, which requires an extended pseudorapidity $\eta$ coverage.
In this case the cross section is
given by
\begin{displaymath}
\sigma_{\rm{tot}} = \frac{16 \pi}{1+\rho^2}\frac{\left. {\rm d}R_{\rm{el}}/{\rm d}t\right|_{t \to 0}}{R_{\rm{in}+}R_{\rm{el}}} \; ,
\, \rho=\left. \frac{Re(F_{\rm{el}}(t))}{Im(F_{\rm{el}}(t))} \right|_{t \to 0} \; ,
\end{displaymath}
independent of the machine luminosity. In the following we shall review the measurements performed by the TEVATRON experiments and summarise the potential for the LHC experiments.

\section{Measurements at the TEVATRON}
\subsection{E710}
At the FNAL TEVATRON $p{\overline p}$-accelerator the first total cross section measurement was done by the E710 experiment \cite{E710_elastic}-\cite{E710_rho} at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV. The E710 set-up was located around the E0 interaction point
and was equipped with two Roman Pots at each side of E0 for the measurement of elastic protons.
The Roman Pots were instrumented with wire chambers for the tracking and trigger scintillators. The locations
of these detectors were in between 25 and 124 m from the interaction point. Under suitable beam conditions with a
high $\beta^\star$ optics and low emittance the detector can be moved close to the beam at a distance of a few millimetres. In this case the impact position $u=x,y$ is related to the scattering angle by $u\propto \sqrt{\beta^\star\beta_{\rm{RP}}}\,\theta$, where $\beta$ is the betatron oscillation function resulting from the
magnetic lattice. The measured $t$ spectrum from E710 is shown in fig.~\ref{fig:E710_elastic}.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth,angle=270]{stenzel_hasko.fig1.eps}}
\caption{Elastic $t$ spectrum at 1.8 TeV measured by E710 \cite{E710_elastic}.}\label{fig:E710_elastic}
\end{figure}
The $t$-spectrum exhibits an approximately exponential fall-off with the nuclear slope $B$ in the
considered range. The differential cross section is normally given by
\begin{eqnarray}\label{eq:elastic}
\frac{{\rm d}\sigma}{{\rm d} t} & = & \frac{1}{16 \pi}\left |F_{\rm C}(t) + F_{\rm N}(t)\right |^2  \, \, ;\\
F_{\rm C}(t) & = & -8 \pi \alpha \hbar c \frac{G^2(t)}{t}\exp\left(i\alpha\Phi(t)\right) \, \, ;\nonumber \\
F_{\rm N} (t) & = & (\rho + i) \frac{\sigma_{\rm{tot}}}{\hbar c}\exp\left(\frac{-Bt}{2}\right) \, \, , \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
with the Coulomb- and nuclear amplitudes $F_{\rm C}$ resp. $F_{\rm N}$, the electric form factor
of the proton $G^2(t)$ and
the Coulomb phase $\Phi(t)$. The Coulomb contribution is rather small in the $t$-range covered
by E710, thus only the nuclear component was used to fit the spectrum (line in fig.~\ref{fig:E710_elastic})
in order to determine the optical point, which is defined by the value of the fit at $t=0$.

The total inelastic rate was measured by the set-up depicted in fig.~\ref{fig:E710_inelastic}.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth,angle=180]{stenzel_hasko.fig2.eps}}
\caption{Inelastic detectors of E710.}\label{fig:E710_inelastic}
\end{figure}
It consisted of various annular scintillator counters segmented in four quadrants
along the beam line covering a pseudo-rapidity range
from 3.8 to 6.5, supplemented by drift chambers for precision tracking. With a trigger coincidence
between the left and right arm about 70$\%$ of the inelastic interactions are covered. Some events,
in particular from single diffraction processes escaped the left-right detection and were recovered
by a single-arm OR trigger condition. This trigger is dominated by background from beam-gas interactions
or halo protons but was measured using non-colliding bunches in the machine and then subtracted.
A small fraction of events could still not be detected because of the limited angular acceptance coverage.
The acceptance corrections were also obtained from the data using the drift chamber extrapolation the rate
as function of the cosine of the maximum detected angle to zero, following a method developed by UA4~\cite{UA4}.
The final results from E710 are summarised in Table~\ref{tab:tev}.

\begin{table}[h!]
\caption{Results from TEVATRON experiments.}
\label{tab:tev}
\centerline{\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
$\sigma_{\rm{tot}}$[mb]  &  $\sigma_{\rm{el}}$[mb] &  $\sigma_{\rm{tot}}/\sigma_{\rm{el}}$ & experiment\\\hline
80.03 $\pm$ 2.24    & 19.70 $\pm$ 0.85 & 0.246 $\pm$ 0.004 & CDF \\\hline
71.42 $\pm$ 2.41    & 15.79 $\pm$ 0.87 & 0.220 $\pm$ 0.008 & E811 \\\hline
72.8 $\pm$ 3.1    & 16.6 $\pm$ 1.6 & 0.230 $\pm$ 0.012 & E710 \\\hline
\end{tabular}}
\end{table}

\subsection{CDF}
The second experiment to perform measurements of elastic and total cross sections at the TEVATRON was CDF
\cite{CDF_elastic},\cite{CDF_total}. The elastic spectrometer of CDF consisted of three Roman Pot stations
on the ${\bar p}$-side and two on the $p$-side, each instrumented with wire chambers, silicon strip detectors and
trigger scintillators. The acceptance for elastic scattering was obtained from a detailed beam transport
simulation, shown in fig.~\ref{fig:CDF_accept}.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth,angle=0]{stenzel_hasko.fig3.eps}}
\caption{Acceptance of CDF for elastic scattering.}\label{fig:CDF_accept}
\end{figure}
The inelastic measurement of CDF profited from the rich instrumentation around
the interaction point, in particular the vertex TPC covering up to $|\eta|\leq 3.5$ allowed
for a high-quality vertexing and enabled efficient background rejection. In the forward region
a telescope from UA4 covering $3.8 \leq |\eta| \leq 5.5$ of drift chambers and a movable telescope
enclosing completely the beam pipe when in beam position and covering then to $|\eta|\leq 7$ were installed.
For the determination of the inelastic rate, in addition to the traditional left-right coincidence, a dedicated
single-diffraction trigger consisting of a coincidence between the elastic spectrometer on one
side detecting the diffractive proton and the opposite inelastic detectors tagging remnants of the diffractive dissociation was set up. Acceptance corrections for the limited angular coverage of the inelastic detectors and for
losses of the diffractively scattered protons were obtained from detector and beam line simulations.
The result from CDF, given in Table~\ref{tab:tev}, is somewhat larger than the E710 result, both for the elastic and
the total cross section. It should be noted that CDF has also provided a measurement~\cite{CDF_total} at 546 GeV, $\sigma_{\rm{tot}}=61.26 \pm 0.93$ mb, compatible with the UA4 result~\cite{UA4}.
\subsection{E811}
Given the discrepancy between
E710 and CDF, another experiment E811~\cite{E811_det} was built upgrading the E710 location. E811 used the same
inelastic detectors as E710 but replaced the elastic detectors by a scintillating fibre tracked coupled
to a CCD read-out yielding a spatial resolution of 20 $\mu$m. The analysis technique was similar to the E710
method but E811 accumulated larger statistics, extended the $t$-range and improved the systematic
uncertainties~\cite{E811_new}. Their final result~\cite{E811_final} confirms the first E710 measurement and
differs from CDF by 2.6 $\sigma$ on the total and by 2.9 $\sigma$ on the elastic cross section.
The total cross section measurements are shown in fig.~\ref{fig:E811} together with lower energy $p\bar p$ results.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth, angle=270]{stenzel_hasko.fig4.eps}}
\caption{Summary of total cross section measurements at TEVATRON compared to lower energy data.
{\em This experiment} is E811, taken from~\cite{E811_new}\label{fig:E811}}
\end{figure}

\section{Prospect for measurements at LHC}
\subsection{TOTEM}
At the LHC similar measurements are proposed by the TOTEM experiment~\cite{TOTEM_TDR},\cite{TOTEM_det} and ATLAS~\cite{ATLAS_det} with its dedicated ALFA subsystem~\cite{ATLAS_ALFA}.
TOTEM shares the interaction point with CMS and has Roman Pot stations at 147 and 220 distance, with both detection
in the vertical and horizontal planes to cover elastic scattering, diffraction and ease alignment.
The elastic set-up is shown
in fig.~\ref{fig:TOTEM_elastic}, each station houses silicon detectors for high-precision tracking and triggering.
At each location two stations separated by a few meters allow for the determination of the local track slope.
The detectors consist of 10 planes of silicon strips alternating in U- and V-Geometry, in a novel edgeless technology allowing to approach the beam as close as possible. The running scenario foresees a dedicated beam optics for
the total cross section measurement with a $\beta^\star$ value of 1540m, in which case a good $t$-acceptance between
0.002 and 1.5 GeV$^2$ is achieved, but also other configurations with smaller $\beta^\star$ are considered
which opens up access to large $t$ values up to 10 GeV$^2$ and extended diffractive studies.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth,angle=0]{stenzel_hasko.fig5.eps}}
\caption{TOTEM elastic detectors.}\label{fig:TOTEM_elastic}
\end{figure}

The inelastic detectors are shown in fig.~\ref{fig:TOTEM_inelastic}. They consist of two tracking telescopes T1 and
T2 in the pseudorapidity region 3.1 $\leq |\eta| \leq$ 6.5. T1 is of conical shape and inserted underneath the CMS
flux return yoke at a distance between 7.5 and 10.5 m from the interaction point. Given the requirements on
rate capabilities and radiation hardness, cathode strip chambers were selected as technology choice. The compact
T2 telescope is installed in the forward shield of CMS in front of the CASTOR calorimeter at about 13.5 m
from the interaction point. For T2 gaseous electron multiplier detectors were selected because of their excellent ageing
performance. The telescopes will be used to trigger inelastic events with high efficiency and for the reconstruction
of the primary vertex to discriminate against beam-gas and beam-halo background. In addition, integrated cross sections
for hard and soft diffraction can be measured, also differential in $t$ and in the diffractive mass $M_{\rm x}$.

The systematic uncertainties for the total cross section depend on the optics used, for the intermediate optics
with $\beta^\star$=90 m an uncertainty of 4$\%$ is anticipated, dominated by the uncertainty of the optical functions
needed for the $t$-reconstruction, but for the high $\beta^\star$ optics the uncertainty may decrease to 1$\%$.
\begin{figure}[h!]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth,angle=0]{stenzel_hasko.fig6.eps}}
\caption{Inelastic detector T1 and T2 of TOTEM embedded in CMS components.}\label{fig:TOTEM_inelastic}
\end{figure}
\subsection{ATLAS ALFA}
The primary focus of the ATLAS ALFA detector is on the absolute luminosity calibration
for the different relative luminosity monitors of ATLAS and specifically the dedicated relative monitor LUCID. Therefore the detector is designed to run only for a short
period and under special beam conditions at low luminosity, thereby relaxing the constraints
on the radiation tolerance. The luminosity can be determined according to eq.~\ref{eq:elastic} without using
a measurement of the inelastic rate if the Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) region is covered. In this case the total cross
section and the luminosity decouple because of the appearance of the Coulomb term. From a fit of the
elastic $t$ spectrum the luminosity, total cross section, $B$ and $\rho$ parameters can be determined
simultaneously. An example of a fit to the $t$-spectrum reconstructed with ALFA is shown in fig.~\ref{fig:ALFA_elastic}.
This requires, however, that the CNI point where $|F_{\rm C}|\approx |F_{\rm N}|$, i.e. $t\approx 6.5\cdot10^{-4}$
 Gev$^2$ is reached.  It is therefore envisaged to use a very high $\beta^\star$ optics with 2600~m
at a low luminosity of about $10^{27}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ with low emittance.
In this case the detector can approach the beam as close as 1.5mm (12 $\sigma$) and the
CNI point is covered.

The ALFA detector is located at 240m from the ATLAS interaction point, at each location two
vertical Roman Pot stations will be installed at a distance of 4 m from each other. The Roman
Pots are instrumented with 10 planes of scintillating fibres, each double-sided plane carries 64 U- and 64 V-
fibres. The fibres have a good sensitivity also at the edge oriented to the beam, which
is essential for a high acceptance at small $t$. The scintillation light is recorded by multi-anode
Photomultipliers. Since the detector is operated only for short periods it is foreseen to be removed
after each period in order to prevent radiation damages during normal LHC operations. The scintillating fibre tracker
is supplemented by plain scintillator tiles for triggering. The selected optics provides a parallel-to-point focusing
in the vertical plane and accuracy of the $t$-scale depends crucially on an accurate vertical alignment.
This is obtained by dedicated overlap detectors, which are made of horizontally aligned scintillating fibres housed
in extrusions of the Roman Pots. When the Roman pots are in beam position the upper and lower overlap detector
will measure the same halo tracks and the distance between the two pots can be determined with $\pm$ 10 $\mu$m precision.

The elastic trigger will consist of a left-right coincidence requesting a signal from an upper detector on one
side and lower on the other side in agreement with the back-to-back topology of elastic events, while
coincidences of the same detector type can be used to measure the beam related background. Further background rejection
can be achieved by using the local slope information from the two stations at each location. This
enables a reconstruction of the transverse interaction vertex position through the beam transfer matrices.

The systematic uncertainties are dominated by the knowledge of the optical functions, the detector alignment
and the background determination. According to simulation a total uncertainty of 3$\%$ is achievable,
for a running time of about 100 hours at a luminosity of $10^{27}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$.

the fit yielding the absolute luminosity calibration.}\label{fig:ALFA_elastic}
\end{figure}

\section{Conclusion}
The long-standing tradition of total cross section measurements at hadron colliders from elastic scattering and
the optical theorem has been successfully pursued at the TEVATRON with several measurements by
CDF, E710 and E811 with an accuracy of about 3$\%$. At the LHC the dedicated TOTEM experiment
will continue along these lines and even more precise measurements of 1$\%$ accuracy are expected,
which will also be measured by ATLAS experiment with their dedicated ALFA system.

The 57-year-old actress has ruled out the possibility of joining her 'Lost City' co-star in the upcoming third movie in the stripper comedy drama franchise, and she playfully suggested her moves would overshadow the leading man
Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', she quipped: "He's doing a lot of asking for me to come on board with my skills in the stripping world, which they're world renowned.
"I don't know if I wanna do it and take the attention away. Channing needs that moment, and if I step on stage, you know what's gonna happen, it's like, all eyes are gonna be on this.
"It's all gonna be on mama... Not really, but in my world, that's what would happen. All eyes would just shift off of Channing and onto me, and they would stay."
Her comments come after Channing, 41, revealed he would be reuniting with director Steven Soderbergh - who was at the helm of the first film in the series - for the third and final instalment.
He took to Twitter to tease fans with the news, posting alongside an image of the script: "Well world, looks like Mike Lane's tapping back in."
In a statement, he said: "There are no words for how excited I am to blow the doors off of the world of 'Magic Mike' with Steven, Greg, Reid, and the amazing people at HBO Max. The stripperverse will never be the same."
The franchise - which has so far grossed more than $300 million worldwide - is loosely based on Tatum's own experiences as an 18-year-old stripper.
He plays a veteran performer who takes a newcomer under his wing.
Toby Emmerich, Chairman of Warner Bros., said in a statement: "Is there anybody on screen more charismatic and appealing than Magic Mike? We're thrilled to be back in business with Channing, Steven and their creative team to bring back Magic Mike's wonderful combination of dance, drama, romance and humour."
