When it comes to buying speakers for a surround sound setup, there's really only one steadfast rule most AV geeks can agree upon: the more the merrier! From standard 5.1 and 7.1 systems to immersive 5.1.2 and 7.1.4 setups, the more speakers you add, the more enveloping and convincing a home theater will be capable of sounding.
There's just one problem. Not everybody has the space or desire for a platoon of seven or more speakers. In many smaller living rooms and apartment setups, some users really only have the capacity for one, making a genuine surround sound experience a little difficult to achieve.
And that's where the Yamaha YSP-2700 MusicCast Soundbar comes in.
Designed to offer a full 7.1 experience from just one sleek soundbar unit and an included wireless subwoofer, the comparatively compact system uses Digital Sound Projector technology to directly aim or bounce audio throughout the room, offering an enticing home theater alternative for AV enthusiasts who are either light on space or looking to streamline their setups.
The YSP-2700 is a 107 watt 7.1 channel soundbar system with a wireless subwoofer. In addition to the speaker and woofer, the package also comes complete with a remote control, an optical digital audio cable, an IntelliBeam microphone (with cardboard stand), and stands to lift the unit if necessary.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the speaker offers a sleek and attractive design with a simple matte black finish. The soundbar measures 37-1/8" x 2" x 6" resulting in a relatively compact form factor that should allow most users to place the unit in front of their displays without any issues. Meanwhile, the subwoofer comes in at 5/8" x 11-3/4" x 12-1/8" making it easy to place to the side of the TV or tuck away in a corner without much hassle.
Under the hood, the system features 16 1-1/8" beam drivers powered by 16 amplifiers covered by a non-removable metal grille. A convenient front panel display is also located toward the right side with information about settings and inputs. Finally, the back of the unit includes a raisable antenna and a nice assortment of connectivity options with support for a plethora of audio formats (all detailed below), including HDCP 2.2 compliant HDMI inputs with 4K HDR passthrough and Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA playback.
Once unpacked, setup is a quick and painless process. Simply connect the soundbar to a display, plug in any additional playback devices, and turn the unit on. The wireless subwoofer automatically pairs with the speaker and an initial setup screen appears, allowing customers to configure a Wi-Fi connection.
From there, plug in the included IntelliBeam microphone to automatically setup the Digital Sound Projection feature. This tech uses a high-performance processor to precisely control the timing of the unit's 16 digital amplifiers and 16 speakers, resulting in controlled "beams" of sound that can be aimed directly or reflected off of walls to create a discrete 7.1 channel experience.
For best results, Yamaha recommends positioning the soundbar evenly between the adjacent left and right walls and with no objects or furniture obstructing the paths of the sound beams. Anyone who has ever used a similar auto calibration mic will be right at home with this process. After a few test tones and acoustic measurements, the procedure ends, letting users save the results to one of three memory inputs.
If any additional adjustments are needed, users can also manually change the calibration settings, beam angles, channel levels, and more through the system's no frills but perfectly functional menu interface. Likewise, customers will also find menu options for more wireless settings, dynamic range control, and up-mixing preferences, allowing users to set whether they want to use Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo 6 formats for 2-channel material.
For movie testing purposes, I watched a variety of Blu-ray discs and streaming titles, including 'Sully,' 'Deep Water Horizon,' 'Don't Breathe,' 'The Rock,' 'Ouija: Origin of Evil,' 'The Avengers,' 'Inception,' and 'Game of Thrones,' along with several clips from Dolby and DTS demos discs. Throughout it all, the YSP-2700 provided fantastic performance, creating a genuinely enveloping home theater experience that always made it seem as if the room was filled with multiple speakers. In fact, it's easily one of the most impressive soundbars I've come across.
Using Surround Mode, the device properly decoded every audio track (minus Dolby Atmos and DTS:X) that I threw at it, and the Digital Sound Projection technology created a surprisingly convincing sense of surround sound, greatly expanding the audio outward toward the listener. I even walked around the room while watching some material, and could hear how specific effects were bouncing off of different walls.
Crashing debris, exploding pipes, and distant alarms were extended far off to the sides during the aggressive set pieces in 'Deep Water Horizon,' and effects work organically transitioned closer and further away from the viewer when called for. Similarly bombastic scenes in 'The Rock' (including the film's Bay-tastic car chase and climactic shootout) sent revving engines and whizzing bullets bouncing off the walls in my living room. Likewise, episode nine of 'Game of Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season' proved to be great demo material as well, bringing the epic, claustrophobic "Battle of the Bastards" to life with piercing arrows and stampeding horses.
Comparatively restrained tracks, like those used in 'Sully' and 'Don't Breathe,' also demonstrated convincing imaging and directionality with more subtle effects (a dog barking, fluttering birds, passing cars, pedestrian clatter). Dynamic range was also quite pleasing, allowing the movies' delicate moments to build up nicely to more aggressive action scenes. Dialogue was properly centralized, clear, and full-bodied throughout all of the material as well, but there were instances when the calibrated levels for the center channel sounded just a tad too low for my tastes. Thankfully, some adjustments in the settings could easily compensate for this.
When it comes to bass, the included wireless 5.5-inch subwoofer does a very admirable job, producing solid LFE that complements the soundbar nicely without overpowering the system as a whole. I ran through several key sequences that I usually use to test sub performance from films like 'Inception,' 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' 'The Avengers,' and the Dolby Demo Disc and, thankfully, unwanted rattling or balance issues were essentially non-existent, creating a seamless transition of deep, clean frequencies and LFE cues that never gave away the sub's location. At the same time, however, the woofer never quite packed the full room-shaking punch that a larger unit paired with a multiple-speaker system would. Don't get me wrong, when pumped up in a small to medium apartment setting, the sub and soundbar can definitely get loud enough to annoy the neighbors, but those with bigger entertainment rooms will likely be left wanting a little more oomph.
Likewise, as engaging as the soundbar's versatile and dynamic home theater performance is, the unit's sound beam technology can only go so far in comparison to a true 7.1 system. Channel separation is never as precise or distinct as a multiple speaker setup, but simulated front soundstage expansion and side surround placement really are very impressive. With that said, even at its most engaging, the unit never really makes it sound like effects are actually coming from behind. Instead, it often feels more like the soundstage stops short just slightly in front of the listening position, giving a great sense of imaging between the channels as effects move closer, further away, and to the sides of the viewer, but little sense of genuine rear activity. It should be noted, however, that the shape of my living room isn't exactly ideal for this kind of setup (the left side wall is much further from the TV and soundbar than the right), so users with a more uniform space might get more convincing results.
Much like the film performance, music playback was great, offering a pleasingly balanced sonic profile that avoided any straining in the highs or muddiness in the lows. Likewise, the mid-range was rich and full throughout, bringing nice fidelity to vocal heavy tracks -- though I did notice a hint of sibilance in Jones's 'Don't Know Why.' Low frequencies were also solid, offering some thumping beats in songs like Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' and Ariana Grande's 'Focus,' but bassheads who really like to feel each kick in their gut might be a little let down.
And though music separation is very strong when using the surround mode, I was a little disappointed by the speaker's stereo performance. I usually prefer to listen to music in its native two-channel format, but with the YSP-2700 I found the stereo mode to be a little flat with a lack of noticeable left and right separation. Thankfully, switching to surround mode completely alleviated these issues, creating a full and spacious soundstage.
Outside of some small quirks, whether playing music or movies, Yamaha's YSP-2700 offers premium home theater performance for a soundbar of this type. While the unit can't equal an actual 7.1 system when it comes to immersion, the audio quality is quite striking and the Digital Sound Projection tech provides an impressive expansion of the sound field.
Beyond wired connections, the soundbar also features several wireless connectivity options, including Bluetooth and Yamaha's MusicCast multi-room audio technology, which allows users to setup different speakers throughout multiple rooms on the same household Wi-Fi connection.
When it comes to standard Bluetooth, performance was exactly as one might expect. I simply located the soundbar on my Samsung Galaxy S7, paired the devices, and started playing MP3 and Spotify tracks from my smartphone. Quality was solid and the tracks came through nicely in the surround mode.
Likewise, initial MusicCast setup was similarly painless, quick, and straightforward. I simply downloaded the MusicCast app from the Google Play Store and then wirelessly connected the device to the smartphone through Wi-Fi by briefly pressing the connect button on the unit. From there, I was able to setup a location and room on the mobile app, allowing me to wirelessly control the soundbar and play music stored on my phone, along with access to Pandora, Spotify, Napster, SiriusXM Internet, and thousands of internet stations.
In addition, I was even able to seamlessly link the soundbar to another Yamaha MusicCast speaker, the WX-010 (full review coming soon!), allowing me to play the same track in two different rooms with independent volume control. With that said, the Android MusicCast app was a little buggy and unresponsive at times, occasionally presenting a connection error when trying to load streaming stations. Thankfully, overall usability was still strong -- even if I did need to restart the app once or twice.
To be honest, I've always been pretty skeptical about soundbars with simulated surround sound channels, and previous models I've heard in the past have often left me rather disappointed. That ends here. The Yamaha YSP-2700 truly delivers on its promise to create a convincing, premium 7.1 channel experience.
Of course, that premium experience does come with a premium price tag. At around $1,200, this is far from a cheap soundbar model, and many users could likely put together a superior 7.1 speaker/receiver setup for less. Likewise, in the age of object-based audio, the system's lack of overhead drivers with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support is a bummer. And though the soundstage it creates is wide and immersive, genuine rear surround activity is wanting.
Still, when it comes to overall audio quality, multi-room wireless features, connectivity options, and space-saving benefits, this is a fantastic soundbar system. If a true multiple speaker setup is not an option and the lack of overhead audio is not a deal breaker, then the Yamaha YSP-2700 is an impressive single unit (plus subwoofer) alternative to a full-fledged 7.1 home theater rig.

Chef Eden Grinshpan's Toronto Kitchen Is One Big Sun-Kissed Vacation
From the plaster-like walls to the marble sink.

Updated Oct 15, 2021 9:30 AM
Eden Grinshpan's workplace isn't a desk, it's her kitchen. While most people are glued to their in-box from 9 to 5, the chef, cookbook author, and Top Chef Canada host spends her days roasting whole cauliflower heads, baking pull-apart babkas, and drizzling tahini—a food group in itself if you ask her—over everything. "I'm half Israeli," she notes. "I cook mostly Middle Eastern food, and I've always gravitated toward that warm, Mediterranean aesthetic."
So it was the breakfast solarium—"I love the glow it casts," says Grinshpan—that sold her on the house she now shares with her husband, Ido Nivron, and their two daughters, Ayv (4) and Romi (4 months), when they were relocating to her native Toronto from Brooklyn during the pandemic. "You almost feel like you're on vacation somewhere," she says, especially when the backyard is covered in snow.
Despite Grinshpan's love of vintage fixtures, some relics of decades past in the circa-1980s nook and adjacent kitchen—floral tiles and a triangular-shaped island to name a few—had to go. "In New York we never had enough space. I was storing so many things in my oven," recalls the chef. Grinshpan naturally held strong opinions about her dream kitchen (wanting more room being one of them), and it became local interior designer Montana Burnett's job to bring them to life.
Room for Everything and the Kitchen Sink
The kitchen when the family moved in.
The layout was crucial to get right for Grinshpan, who knows the value of a good mise en place. She sat down with Nivron; Burnett; and their woodworker, Ross Etherington, to nail down a floor-to-ceiling pantry wall and additional storage flanking the living room archway, which allowed them to keep the stove wall almost bare. Only a minimal shelf runs above it, where Grinshpan keeps fresh lemons, everyday dishes, and pottery brought back from Jaffa, Israel.
But it's behind the doors, which boast custom dividers for cutlery, spices, and cookware, that the magic happens. "You should see inside of the drawers," she says.
Marble Reminiscent of Desert Sand
Riffing off the warm, sun-burned vibe of the solarium, Grinshpan and Nivron went on the hunt for the perfect marble slab for the countertops, backsplash, and even the sink. "We toured all the stone yards in the city but kept going back to the first one we saw," she remembers. "It has so much movement, and I love the coral-peach tones." Burnett gave the stone a modern, honed (aka matte) finish and rounded bullnose edges, and the porous surface will continue to change over time. "I love when things look a little worn and have wine stains," the chef points out.
Plumbing Imperfection
The counters weren't the only place where Grinshpan embraced inevitable wear and tear. When her Waterworks unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures arrived, they were a little too shiny for her taste. "I went to town on the pot filler and the faucet, rubbing them with vinegar and salt water to speed up the aging process," she says, laughing. "Ido would ask me if I was coming to bed and I'd say: I can't, I'm aging my brass!" The elbow grease paid off: They now have a tarnish that plays off the burnished bronze cabinet hardware.
Textures That Transport You to the Coast
Everything came together thanks to a mix of textures and tones that underline the space's Mediterranean influence: rattan and oak pantry doors; bone-hued cupboards to match the cool cream limewash walls in the dining room; and tone-on-tone micro-cement in lieu of paint. "The material can actually hold up to heat better than Venetian plaster with a similar effect," explains Grinshpan.
Like most pandemic renovations, this one was delayed, which made getting the final piece delivered all the sweeter: "I was super-pregnant and speechless when 15 grown men were schlepping in this 9-foot marble island," recalls Grinshpan. She served up homemade pasta for the first time in months that very night. "Ido and I sometimes sit here with a cheese platter and a glass of wine and feel like we're on a sexy date," she adds. "For me the kitchen is where I blast music and really create."

Q: Creating random file in just one line but with specific length I want to make a file (random content) but with just one 1 MB large line inside it
I have tried using this command but it didn't work :
head -n 1 -c 1m /dev/urandom > /sdcard/file.txt

How to do it properly?
I just want a file that contain random 1 MB data but only in a single line.

A: { tr -d '\n' </dev/urandom | head -c 1m; printf '\n'; } >/sdcard/file.txt

Assuming GNU head, this would get one megabytes of (quite possibly binary, unprintable) data from /dev/urandom without any newlines in it, and then add a newline at the end.  The output would be saved to /sdcard/file.txt.  This single "line" would not be a proper line of text as it may well include nul bytes.
If you just want alphanumeric data,
{ tr -dc '[:alnum:]' </dev/urandom | head -c 1m; printf '\n'; } >/sdcard/file.txt

This would remove all non-alphanumeric characters from the random stream from /dev/urandom, chop it off at 1 MB, and then add a newline character as before.

A: *

*Read from /dev/urandom.

*Filter out the characters that you don't want to have on the line, such as newlines, null bytes, any other control character, etc.

*Stop at the desired number of bytes or characters.

*Add a newline character.

For example, to have 1,000,000 ASCII printable characters:
{ </dev/urandom \
  LC_ALL=C tr -dc ' -~' |
  head -c 1000000 &&
  echo
} >/sdcard/file.txt

Metal roofs made from steel offer many advantages over other roofing materials. Here is a look at five of the greatest benefits of steel roofs that make them a good investment for your home.
According to Metal Roof Outlet Inc., for the vast majority of people, they will never have to buy another roof after they get a steel roof installed. There is no more durable roofing material than steel. Steel roofs are galvanized with a protective coating of zinc. This protective coating helps to protect steel roofs from rusting. In most cases, a steel roof will last for more than 60 years before it needs to be replaced. They also don't need any major maintenance other than maybe the occasional power wash to keep them clean and to prevent rust.
Another great benefit of steel roofs is that they are fire resistant. Unlike many other roofing materials, it is nearly impossible to ignite a steel roof. The temperatures of average fires just do not get high enough to melt steel. Installing a steel roof is especially helpful for people who live in areas where wildfires are a threat as your home will be more resistant towards catching fire than those with traditional shingle or wooden roofing on their home.
People who live in areas where foul weather is common should definitely think about installing a steel roof. Steel roofs are installed with interlocking panels that make them incredibly wind-resistant. This means that the steel roofing panels will hold on during high winds that would blow off other roofing materials. This is especially recommended if you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes or tornados.
Energy efficiency is key now in days. It seems like everyone is constantly trying to look for more ways to conserve more energy and save money. In these days of constantly rising energy prices, it makes more sense than ever before to install a steel roof. Steel roofs are very good for energy efficiency. They will reflect the heat of the sun's rays away, keeping your home cooler. This is especially helpful for people who live in California, Florida, Arizona and other similar areas of the country that see a lot of heat.
Another nice thing about steel roofs is that they come in such a wide range of styles. It is possible to mold steel into any shape and style, allowing your new steel roof to fit in no matter what style your neighborhood features. You can also get them in various different colors as well.
As you can see, there is a lot to love about steel roofs. These five benefits show that it makes a lot of sense to choose steel when it is time to update your roof. The economic, safety and style benefits of steel roofs make them the right choice.

Henry Morgan
Birth Place : Llanrhymney, Wales, United Kingdom
Died On : August 25, 1688
Zodiac Sign : Aquarius
Henry Morgan Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Henry Morgan was a notorious buccaneer active in the region of Central America and the Caribbean's during the late 17th century. He was infamous for his ruthlessness in pounding Spanish ships and colonies of that area. Information about his early days is scarcely available. He was born in Wales around 1635. According to the historians, his birthplace lies between the present day Cardiff and Newport. The place could either be in Pencarn, Monmouthshire or in Llanrumney, Glamorgan. Historical sources revealed Robert Morgan, a farmer, to be his father. Further details of his early life and career are shrouded in obscurity.
CAREER AS PRIVATEER
Historians were unable to decipher the truth behind the arrival of Morgan into the Caribbean's. There are several stories regarding Morgan's landing in the Archipelago. However, it is a fact that Morgan landed in the Caribbean's during the second half of the 1650s. It is generally believed that he initially spent most of his late teenage years in search of a profitable venture. During the early 1660s, he joined a group of privateers under the leadership of Sir Christopher Myngs. The group used to attack and loot the Spanish cities and settlements scattered around the Caribbean's and Central America. Rising in his ranks quickly, Morgan captained one of the ships of Myngs' armada by 1663. Soon, he was an integral part of the attack on Santiago de Cuba and the Sack of Campeche on the Yucatán Peninsula.
In those days, Caribbean islands, under the control of the British government, depended largely on the privateers for the collection of revenue. Thus, in reality, privateers were government-sponsored individuals. They raised their fleet of ships using government money. These privateers regularly attacked Spanish colonies located in and around the Pacific Ocean and plunder their wealth. The respective governing authority of the islands issued a license called a letter of marque to these privateers. This license authorized the privateers to attack and snatch the ships belonging to some specific country. In return, the privateers gave a substantial portion of the loot to the license issuing authority.
EXPLOITS OF MORGAN
Morgan raided Spanish colonies of Trujillo, Granada, and Vildemos during the late 1663 and early 1664. He along with fellow captain Jacob Fackman and John Morris came back to Port Royal, Jamaica with shiploads of valuables. During 1664, the relation between the English and the Dutch worsened. As a result, the British colonial government of the Caribbean's started issuing letters of marque against the Dutch. The Second Anglo-Dutch war took place between 1665 and 1667. Morgan led the invasion of Dutch colonies of the Caribbean's as second in command during this period.
Around 1667, hostilities between the English Kingdom and the Spanish Empire increased to a considerable extent. Morgan commanded his battalion and raided the Spanish port of Puerto Bello after capturing Puerto Principe (present-day Camagüey) in Cuba. Puerto Bello was a well-defended city on the Isthmus of Panama. He, in a swift and daring move, stormed and devastated the well-guarded city. In 1669, he went deep into South America and plundered some wealthy Spanish settlements located at the coast of Venezuela around Lake Maracaibo. During early 1671, he attacked the city of Panama with a large contingent. Morgan captured the city after fighting a tough battle with a strong Spanish force. He then set the city on fire. Later, he fled with most of the loot deserting his force.
The English had signed a peace treaty with their Spanish counterpart prior to Morgan's raid on the city of Panama. On account of the treaty, the English military promptly arrested Morgan and took him back to London. The English did not punish him due to his fearsome image and his reputation as a patriotic person. However, he had to end his naval career. The relation between England and Spain worsened again in no time. King Charles II knighted Morgan in 1674 and made him the Deputy Governor of Jamaica. Morgan came back to Jamaica and stayed there until his death. He went on to increase his plantation in Jamaica. He led a happy, respectful, and affluent life during his last years.
Morgan married his cousin Mary Morgan during early 1666. Mary Morgan was the daughter of Edward Morgan, the then Deputy Governor of Jamaica. Edward was the uncle of Henry Morgan. The couple remained childless.
Morgan passed away on August 25, 1688. A state funeral was accorded to him. All the privateers and pirates of the region were given free access to attend his funeral. While they paid homage to the departed buccaneer, the State authorities assured them about their freedom. The mortal remains of Morgan were entombed at Palisadoes cemetery, Port Royal. The State also honored him with a 22 gun salute.

Selangor's new CMCO rules: Dine-in, food trucks, fishing, all parks allowed; hiking, camping still banned
Tuesday, 12 May 2020 04:46 PM MYT
BY IDA LIM

KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 — The Selangor state government today decided to implement new rules from tomorrow onwards, including allowing dine-in customers in restaurants and also food trucks albeit with limited operations, with Selangor residents now allowed access to all types of public parks with fishing to be permitted while hiking and camping is still disallowed.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said these new rules were agreed in a meeting today by the Selangor state government together with the mayors and head of local authorities as well as district officers throughout Selangor, and comes after the prime minister's recent announcement of the extension of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) until June 9.
The decisions today are considerably more relaxed as compared to the Selangor state government's May 3 decisions which had still put in place additional conditions as compared to the federal government's position under the CMCO:
Amirudin listed four main decisions from today's meeting to be highlighted, which would start being applied from tomorrow until June 9. Malay Mail has also provided a comparison with the previous decision:
i) New rules: Operations of restaurants, food courts, stalls with roofs and kiosks
Amirudin said all such food outlets in Selangor will now be allowed to fully operate from 7am to 10pm, which means customers are now allowed to eat and drink within premises but subject to social distancing being complied with.
He said that such food outlets will however not be allowed to set up tables at walkways or five-foot ways or in parking lots, further adding that restaurant operators are encouraged to give customers the option of making pre-orders to avoid congestion within the shop.
He said local authorities' enforcement officers will carry out spot checks from time to time to ensure optimum compliance of standard operating procedures.
How this compares to Selangor government's previous May 3 stand:
At that time, the Selangor government did not allow dine-in customers at restaurants and food outlets located within physical premises, allowing them to only operate for takeaway and delivery from 7am to 10pm.
ii) New rules: Food trucks and roadside hawkers without premises
As for food hawkers who do not have a physical premise, Amirudin said they can operate from 8am to 10pm, but said this would be limited to only drive-through, takeaways and deliveries.
"Local authorities will study the need to have hawkers take turns to operate if their locations are near each other and hinder social distancing to be practised by customers," he said.
At that time, Selangor said food trucks and roadside hawkers can only start operations after May 12, to enable both local authorities and hawkers to have sufficient time to make preparations for social distancing and contact tracing.
iii) New rules: Market activities
Amirudin today said any form of animal slaughter and processing such as chickens at public markets, wholesale markets, fresh produce markets and private markets are not allowed, while all other market activities will be allowed to operate as usual.
He added that the ban on morning markets and night markets remain unchanged for now.
At that time, the Selangor government had only said night markets, morning markets, carnival sales, Ramadan bazaars and Aidilfitri bazaars are not allowed, in line with the federal government's prohibition.

iv) New rules: Sports and recreation
"All types of parks are now allowed for the public to have recreation from 7am to 7pm. Hiking and camping activities are still not allowed. But fishing is allowed," Amirudin said.
At that time, the Selangor government said the public is only allowed to exercise in empty spaces and community parks while practising social distancing, while activities in public parks such as Tasik Shah Alam, Taman Jaya and Tasik Cempaka were not allowed with the local authorities to issue a list of public parks that would remain closed to the public.
The Selangor government had also at that time said that all indoor sports facilities such as swimming pools and gyms would remain closed, while hiking activities such as at Bukit Gasing were not allowed.
More details to come
Today, Amirudin said the Selangor state secretary will be issuing a more detailed circular for reference and further enforcement from May 13 to June 9, adding that any activities or matters not detailed would remain bound by the standard operating procedures prepared by the National Security Council (NSC).

Puny weaklings, come and gape in awe at the latest triumph of your highest superior, Surrak Dragonclaw! I, Surrak, insulter of the Sultai, wearer of bears, present my greatest feat yet: I can already name no fewer than four of the new dragons. The gold ones! Now listen, obey and be attentive.
Atarkar is the Temur one so it was the obvious one to learn first, plus it breathes fire like a normal dragon. The only thing is it lacks blue, which of course is totes vital to the Temur identity, but still, love the antlers.
This one was quite easy because it sounds like Callaghan, a Labour prime minister, and Kolaghan is red. There's black in there too but that must just be to fit the cycle – or is it because of the high toughness? Did that catch on as a black thing? He breathes lightning. ZAP!
Yum. Now this is where it starts to get tricky. I'm gonna go with Ojutai, Soul of Winter.
Behold, I even know some of the nickname bits! Bite that, Sidisi. No, she's not here. Ojutai is revered by the Jeskai, and she (?) lives on mountains and terrorises the… Jeskai? Is that right? So she must breathe… rocks or something. I do know she has feathers. But she's still a dragon, it's one of those things like whales not being a fish. Whatever, next.
Now I do know that this one breathes light. I remember one of them did because I thought it sounded silly when I heard it. And it can't be the other black one, that would breathe, like, darkness, right? Or tar, maybe. Or bats. So this must be the beam-of-light one. Drom-something, Finder Of Lost Keys. Har har har.
And it has one of these jumped-up titles like "the avenger" or something. Dromongar the Harvester, we'll call it. So that's four. It breathes light and it has a big pointy chin.
Now begone! Return hither on Friday when I will have the fifth one down for definite. I think it has a mill effect.

Strakka Racing announces Spa 24h #43 Line-Up
Home / News /
Following last month's announcement that Strakka Racing will be running two Mercedes-AMG GT3 entries in next week's Total 24 Hours of Spa, the team is delighted to reveal the full line up of the #43 car.
Christina Nielsen, who had already been confirmed and has a derogation to bronze for this particular round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge, will be joined by Richard Heistand (Bronze), Jack Hawksworth (Gold) and David Fumanelli (Silver). They will join the trio of Lewis Williamson, Gary Paffett and Tristan Vautier in the #43 for the Mercedes-AMG performance team.
The Mercedes-AMG performance team celebrated success at last year's race as Nick Leventis, Chris Buncombe, Lewis Williamson and David Fumanelli crossed the finish line second in class to stand on the Pro-Am podium.
The Total 24 Hours of Spa will take place on 27-28 July as part of the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge and Blancpain GT Series Endurance cup, starting at 16:30 CET on Saturday 27 July.
Christina Nielsen (#43): "Spa is one of the biggest races of the year a driver can do. The track is legendary and a favourite amongst many. Everyone knows that the competition is insane and it's 24 hours of that, so without a doubt it's going to be intense. It's been a couple of years since I last raced at Spa; I've spent time preparing on the Strakka simulator and have a really busy summer schedule with Spa being a part of that, so I'll have had plenty of time behind the wheel to get me prepared for the race."
Jay Davenport, Strakka Racing Director: "We're pleased to be able to reveal our full driver line-up for next week's Spa 24h. We have a wealth of experience and talent in our roster and we are confident we can prove successful at this epic event once again."

The Battle of Tsushima: The Only Real Battleship Battle Ever Fought?
Peter Suciu
The Battle of Tsushima, Artist Rendering.
For all the hype around the power and capabilities of battleships – not to mention the fact that the capital vessels were even at the forefront of numerous naval treaties in the interwar era – there really has only been a single decisive battle involving the naval behemoths that changed history in a really meaningful way. Sure, there have been engagements involving battleships, but there is only one that truly changed history, in my opinion.
The battle I am talking about didn't occur during the First or Second World War and instead took place during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905.
What is most notable is that the conflict even occurred before HMS Dreadnought entered service, and started a naval arms race when all previous battleships were essentially rendered obsolete. The era of the battleship could thus be seen to be over before it really even began.
It was during the Russo-Japanese War that the Russian Baltic Fleet, which had slowly steamed halfway around the world, was nearly destroyed. The decisive defeat at the Battle of Tsushima, in which just 10 of the 45 Russian warships present escaped to safety, was enough to convince Russian leaders that the war was lost. It ended Imperial Russia's lofty ambitions to expand into the Far East, while it also gave rise to Japanese imperialism.
However, a few facts do need to be considered.
The first is that it wasn't really an even battle from the beginning. The Russian Baltic Fleet – as noted – had traveled a great distance, while the Japanese were operating in waters much closer to home. The Baltic Fleet had only been sent to the Far East after the previous destruction of its Pacific Squadron that had come under attack in Port Arthur the previous year.
The entire journey had been a debacle. Under the command of Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky, veteran of the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), the Russian fleets set sail in October 15, 1904. Not long after it was underway, it experienced the first of several fiascos. While steaming through the North Sea, there were reports of Japanese torpedo boats operating in the area. That led to the Russians accidentally firing on a number of British fishing trawlers near the Dogger Bank.
The incident was so serious that the British nearly declared war on Russia, and even prepared to send out the Royal Navy's Home Fleet. As tempers were cooled, the Royal Navy still directed a cruiser squadron to shadow the Russian fleet. Yet, because of the incident, the Russian fleet was prohibited from using the Suez Canal and had to sail around the Cape of Good Hope.
The Russian flotilla traveled nearly 18,000 miles, and had been at sea for nearly eight months when it finally arrived in the Far East. The crews were fatigued and the warships were badly in need of maintenance. In no way was the Russian Baltic Fleet – now the Second Pacific Squadron – remotely ready for a battle.
More Problems for Russia…
Then there was the fact that the Japanese fleet was greater in size and capability. Imperial Japan may have been an "upstart" compared to Imperial Russia on the world stage, but most of the Japanese warships were twice as fast as their Russian counterparts and were also more modern and advanced.
The Japanese Navy, which had also taken part in a conflict with Imperial China just over a decade earlier, had more recent combat experience. The Russian Navy hadn't fought in a major war in decades, and many of its sailors had never traveled much outside of the Baltic Sea.
Upon arriving in the Far East, Rozhestvensky ordered his sea-worn vessels to make for Vladivostok via the Tsushima Strait, a 60-mile-wide (100 km) bottleneck between Korea and the Japanese island of Honshu. The Russian fleet almost made it, but on the evening of May 26, 1905, a Japanese patrol ship spotted the vanguard of the Russian flotilla.
A decade earlier that might not have mattered, but the Japanese fleet had been equipped with the then-new wireless radio. Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō didn't miss the opportunity to strike. He rushed his ships into the strait to intercept the enemy. Rozhestvensky's vessels, with their engines fouled by months on the high seas, were completely unable to match the enemy's speed and proved to be proverbial sitting ducks.
More than 80 Japanese warships, including four battleships, pounced on the Russians after daybreak.
The battle, which took place at the Tsushima Strait between Japan and Korea (then controlled by the Japanese), saw the destruction of 21 Russian warships, while seven more were captured. After several hours of nonstop broadsides, nearly two-thirds of the Russian fleet was destroyed — including six of his most prized battleships. Japan lost three small torpedo boats in the encounter with fewer than 700 Japanese sailors as casualties; while Russia suffered 6,000 wounded and 5,000 dead.
The Battle of Tsushima was one of the most one-sided battles in naval history. And as I and others would argue, it was the first time and the last time battleships would slug it out to the death in anyway that impacted history. With the loss of its fleet, Russia accepted the war was lost as well.
However, it should also be noted that the land campaign had been far more even. During the Battle of Mukden, which took place earlier in the year as the great naval engagement, Japanese losses were twice that of Russians. Yet, Japan's might on the high seas allowed it to win the war. It wouldn't be the last Japanese naval victory, but by the end of the Second World War, the Imperial Japanese Navy would suffer far greater defeats.

Are we really saying that Tsushima was more historically impactful than Jutland? Really?
Bennett W Smith
I was thinking the same thing. One might make the case that Jutland was less decisive and had less impact on WWI than Tsushima had on the Russo-Japanese War. Also, Japanese victory in the R-J War emboldened the nation and led to an increase in their naval power (which was needed for their involvement in WWII.

Each time you've got a negative emotion, you're miss-creating. Affirmation is among the most effective methods to make what you desire to become your logical thought. Your statement must believable, and have to state the reality. Then, enlightenment will occur. Mindfulness and true happiness can be a method of life.
What Does 15 Minute Manifestation Mean?
By helping others learn to concentrate their energy in healthy, beneficial ways, it's possible to create the world a better place for everybody. The world around you might be the sum of all of the thoughts that you've in your thoughts. When you live life to the maximum, you're going to be better and ready to find the product things that you have imagined. If you're living a thriving life then, it may be not so necessary for you to feel that how have you make that happen success definitely but the one aim is you have achieved it.
If it is time to submit your PDUs, your log file will simplify the practice. Envision what you might want beforehand, which implies you know just what to go for after the treatment is finished. So is there a particular time that can help you to focus. The very best time it is possible to communicate with your higher self is at the right time of meditation. Usually, you'll find a location where you won't be disturbed for 15 to thirty minutes. 500,000 might not be a massive number to your congressmen, but for the remainder of us, it's enormous.
There is going to be a brand-new episode every week, so be sure to subscribe and receive each chapter as it's released.

If you become inspired using a book or a personality and stick to the success path accordingly much likely odds of success will probably appear, and adjust the lifestyle amazingly, said Mathews. Regarding mental variables, the very first lesson is that you have to learn to get a single-minded focus to your objective. Sounds simple if you're already a 15 minute manifestation review student, but you might not believe it and live by it. The science of happiness can be understood considerably more often in your everyday life.
Having a plan can allow you to quickly overcome the overwhelmed feeling you've got, which consequently will let you to concentrate on the job at hand. If you observe the plan, you will get to the place you have to be to be able to understand what it is that you are searching for. When you are attempting to concentrate on the project at hand, and the rest of the thoughts appear to be disabling us from doing, so it's time to unwind and find yourself in the Alpha State of mind where the mind is the most creative. Sure, it can be a slow progress, but it's still an advancement. So now is the opportunity to sit down and set your aims, decide where it is you need to go and what it is you want to do. Through the job of the CMAC, our primary objective is to nurture our democratic principles, while at the same time, unite folks of all nationalities with the intention of formulating a plan of action to realize true democracy and freedom for all humankind. Writing your goal in a sort of purpose appears always to provide help.
The user will hold a single pencil in every hand, and extend one arm out, so the side is at eye level, focusing on the pen. By concentrating on that unique scent, he will be able to significantly increase their ability to focus on a single thing while tuning out any potential distractions. He will then close their eyes and attempt to visualize the object by recalling all of their mental notes.
Communicating with the subconscious is accomplished through attaining what is called the alpha state. You must think of the way in which you're living your life when you need to have material things in life and experience of succeeding. The intention of a sign isn't to create a new faith, yet to confirm current belief. John's second idea is to take advantage of price anchoring. There are several things that we have to learn as a way to continue to keep our minds focused on the things that we need it to concentrate on.
You're still finding it nearly impossible to concentrate on the job at hand and getting it all your thoughts in order. The procedure is intentional. There's a two-step process which works well for most people. After you finished, consider the outcomes you got. Keep taking action with awareness, and you'll know when you are making the decisions that will support what you desire. Only as long as you do the correct steps. Many physical exercise activities are fantastic opportunities for introspection or brainstorming.

Q: How does one transfer data from an iPhone 6 to a Pixel 6 pro that has already been set up? So this is not the first time I turn on my Pixel 6 pro. When I connect the devices with a cable no options appear so it is unclear what to do next to transfer the data and the video I was watching doesn't suggest what to actually do:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1IPSE2avCE
and I've tried a bunch of things like google one etc but the contacts and the videos from my iphone 6 s are NOT on my pixel.
What do I need to do to get this to work?

A: honestly the main take away is to do it once during setup of the phone.
Otherwise see this: https://android.stackexchange.com/a/247469/376045
Will post it as a community answer since I'm not too happy that I had to download a third party app and that it doesn't seem to be using the cables I bought...I used the Send Anywhere (File Transfer) app. Instructions in video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEdVU96bol8 in text:

*

*download Send Anywhere (File Transfer) app

*choose the videos, photos, contacts etc from the iphone

*choose the pixel to be a receiver

*get the code from the iphone put it in the receiver
then click send

done...or at least I hope the transfer happens. Going on right now.

The Fallout From a Strike on Syria
The Fallout From a U.S. Strike on Syria
Chances of an escalating conflict aren't great, but they are real. It is certain that missile attacks will lead to oil price spikes in the short term.
By Knight Kiplinger, Editor Emeritus
For the Middle East and for oil prices, the month of September will be critical.
Once missiles fly, the odds of a wider conflict grow. We don't see the worst case playing out, though deeper U.S. involvement and a big surge in oil prices can't be ruled out altogether.
But don't bet on a quick resolution. Swift, meaningful changes in Syria will be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve under any circumstances.
See Also: The White House's Case Against Syria
The U.S.' role will go beyond missile strikes, as there's a good chance that follow up bombing raids and missiles will be needed to deter further atrocities by Syria's Bashar al-Assad. Initial American strikes will stop short of removing him from power, but that may come later if circumstances don't change.
Limiting the scope of fighting won't be easy — and not just in Syria. Expect Hezbollah to hit Israel from southern Lebanon and for Israel to retaliate over a period of weeks. Iran is sure to rattle its sword, as well, but its rhetoric about attacking Israel is just a bluff. Tehran knows that if it strikes, Israel is sure to go straight for Iran's nuclear facilities, no matter what the U.S. says.
Heightened conflict in Syria alone won't drive oil prices up. That country's daily output is a drop in the bucket compared to global output of about 90 million barrels a day. The real threat is if the conflict spills over into key oil producing countries such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran, or jeopardizes key transit points in the Persian Gulf or Egypt.
Uncertainty will drive up oil and gasoline prices for much of September Oil will hit $120 to $125 a barrel, from about $107 now. Gas will reach $3.75 a gallon, up 15¢.
No matter what happens after the initial U.S. strikes, this much is certain: The civil war in Syria and the broader unrest in the region will continue, probably for decades. Even if Assad is killed or sent into exile, the divide will remain. Any rebel faction that takes over the country will be anti-American to some degree. In fact, one of these factions, an al Qaeda offshoot, is well positioned to gain power.
Egypt, largely out of headlines because of Syria, will remain a flashpoint. A new constitution is in the works, but it's hard to see an outcome that is acceptable to Islamists, the military and the Christian minority. The U.S. will keep sending aid.
