On the Road with WhyHunger: Education and Food Justice in the Lower Ninth Ward
Report from New Orleans, prior to the 2010 Community Food Security Coalition conference.
By Tristan Quinn-Thibodeau
The connections between food, agriculture, and education were on display in New Orleans, and I saw a diversity of positive approaches. Like Edible Schoolyard and the Green Elementary Charter School, Our School at Blair Grocery (OSBG) is also connecting education with community food security and urban farms in New Orleans. But because OSBG exists in the Lower Ninth Ward in a much different context than Edible Schoolyard and with different needs and assets, it takes on a much different shape and scope.
The Lower Ninth Ward, first of all, is abandoned, both by the city government and institutions as well as by its old residents. It is physically isolated from the rest of the city, separated by the canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River and connected only by two bridges, and symbolically isolated from the rest of the city in that it has received little money or effort from the city to rebuild. Because of its isolation and the sheer absence of services of any kind (only one school and one grocery store exist in over 1.5 square miles of New Orleans), many former residents of the Lower Ninth, like seniors, simply cannot move back—there is nothing for them there. In this context of almost complete governmental pullback and abandonment, the necessity of linking education with developing communities through agriculture becomes evident in the work of Our School at Blair Grocery.
Our School at Blair Grocery works with mostly teens that the New Orleans school system has failed. Operating essentially as a large home school, which is allowed by New Orleans education law, OSBG gives students (who at this time are mostly high-schoolers) an alternative education in social studies, business, critical thinking, art, and community development. A large part of the students' education consists in operating a small farm business, growing microgreens for sale to local restaurants and food for the community, since land is plentiful and food in great need. The students also get a stipend for their work. However, I realized that the real importance of the school wasn't that it provided food or a job to the students or community. Josh's story highlighted the critical role that OSBG is playing in some kids' lives that may make the difference in their ability to grow into educated young adults inspired to live a life of opportunity.
Nat Turner, a former middle school teacher from NYC and the founder of OSBG, told our work group that one of his students, Josh, a great artist, had been skipping classes at his high school to spend all of his time at the art school where he took part-time classes. Charged with truancy, Josh was facing prison time before Turner intervened and enrolled him at Our School at Blair Grocery, where he was able to use his creativity and design skills, even coining the name for the school (Josh suggested calling it "Our School" rather than "The School". OSBG uses the old Blair grocery building, one of the last, though closed since the 1980's, grocery stores and oldest black-owned business in the Lower Ninth Ward). I realized that OSBG was more than a job or community food project and even more than a school, but was a real place for building individual and community power.
In fact, Turner and the OSBG staff and volunteers are not just continuing this project to improve the Lower Ninth Ward, but are actually a national center for education and convergence on social movement building, progressive education, and small-scale, intensive urban farming. Over the summer, Our School brought in over 500 students and young organizers from around the country to learn how to educate and organize communities into a movement in the context of racism, class division, and geographical or spatial injustice. And Turner is working with Will Allen and Growing Power as one of Growing Power's Regional Outreach Training Centers, for which OSBG was outfitted with aquaculture, hoophouses, and vertical growing beds.
OSBG really showed everyone on the work trip to the Lower Ninth just what people on the land could do when they could exercise their autonomy and build community. Growing food led to education, which led to community building, which is now becoming movement building. If this isn't inspiring, coming from the Lower Ninth Ward, I don't know what is.


Separate property is property which was owned by either spouse prior to the marriage, inherited during marriage, converted from community property to separate property or bought by one spouse with their separate funds. Separate property can also include property received for pain and suffering from a personal injury claim.
Consider, however, how property will be divided during a divorce will depend on whether you live in a community property or equitable distribution state. If property increases in value while you are married some states will also allow the increase to be considered the property of both spouses even if the title remains in the name of one spouse.
There are currently nine community property states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. Alaska is an opt-in community property state. In these states the community property is divided equally between the spouses. The remaining states are considered equitable distribution states or separate property states. Talk to a divorce lawyer if you have questions about how your assets and debts will be divided in a divorce settlement.

Prince William: Billionaires should focus on earth's problems, not a space race
One of the craziest things about 2021 is that we have all of these problems like the rise of white nationalism, structural racism and inequality, broken infrastructure, war, pestilence and a literal global pandemic and the richest men in the world are all singularly focused on a big d–k competition in the form of "who has the better private space program." Elon Musk, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into their billionaire space race and it's the worst. It's so bad, even Prince William is saying something negative about it. The same Prince William who has never had his finger on the pulse of any issue, the same Prince William who travels everywhere by private helicopter and private jet. THAT Prince William is like "hey maybe billionaires could use those resources to fix some of the earth's problems?" And I find myself agreeing with him.
Prince William spoke to the BBC's Newscast ahead of the first Earthshot Prize to reward those trying to save the planet. Speaking about the current space race and the drive to promote space tourism, William said: "We need some of the world's greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live. I think that ultimately is what sold it for me – that really is quite crucial to be focusing on this [planet] rather than giving up and heading out into space to try and think of solutions for the future."
William told Newscast's Adam Fleming he had "absolutely no interest" in going as high as space, adding there was a "fundamental question" over the carbon cost of space flights.
He warned there was "a rise in climate anxiety" among young people who whose "futures are basically threatened the whole time".
"It's very unnerving and it's very, you know, anxiety making," he said.
The father-of-three challenged adults to channel their inner child to "remember how much it meant to be outdoors and what we're robbing those future generations of".
William also said his father, Prince Charles, had a "rough ride" when warning about climate change, adding: "It's been a hard road for him." He said Charles, inspired by his father, the late Duke of Edinburgh, "talked about climate change a lot more, very early on, before anyone else thought it was a topic".
"But it shouldn't be that there's a third generation now coming along having to ramp it up even more. For me, it would be an absolute disaster if George (his eldest child) is sat here … in like 30 years' time whatever, still saying the same thing, because by then we will be too late."
In an echo of his father's message earlier this week, William also said the upcoming U.N. Climate Change Conference COP26 summit in Scotland had to deliver. "We can't have more clever speak, clever words but not enough action," William said.
[From The BBC and Reuters]
Again, I'm not saying that I'm Team Keen all of a sudden. But William is right about this issue, the issue of "billionaires need to stop wasting all of their time, money and resources on private space travel." Imagine if Branson, Bezos and Musk had spent all of that money targeting one environmental problem, like cheap, effective and carbon-neutral mass desalination or protecting rainforests and wildlife habitats. It's insane.
I've seen some royal reporters suggest that William is probably uncomfortable with how much attention his comments are getting today. I doubt it. While his comments border on "political" or simply "not neutral," William knows that this will probably be the thing that draws more attention to the Keenshot Prize Awards on Sunday. God knows, nothing else from his campaign has gotten much attention.

Sunday was All Souls Day.
A day to pray for a remember those who have passed before us.
During communion, the cantor sang "Fly Like a Bird". A song that will always remind me of Sarah Catherine.
While we knelt, Hubs and I held one another. Me in tears and him near. Spud was trying to work his way in between us (I'd displaced him from Hubs side when the song started).
And Dude was singing his little heart out in his pure, crystalline voice that only children possess.
What a perfect remembrance of our sweet girl.

Q: Django ModelForms is ignoring a clean field method I have the following model where I have a DateField:
class E(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=255
    description = models.TextField(max_length=255)
    start_date = models.DateField(verbose_name='Start Date')

the ModelForm:
class EventModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Event
        fields = ['name', 'description','start_date']

    def clean_start_date(self):

       datetime_format = '%a %b %d %Y'
       start_date = self.cleaned_data['start_date']
       return datetime.strptime(start_date, datetime_format)

My issue is that Django ignores the clean method for the start_date, but take in consideration the clean methods for the other fields.
So I use the debugger to check, and I see that is appearing in change_data, but not in cleaned_data
changed_data: <class 'list'>: [name', 'description', ''start_date']
cleaned_data: name, description

which is strange, so I checked the input, and looks ok:
<input name="start_date" class="c-fi' type="text">

I don't understand why is not calling the clean method, instead make a validation on the Model a fails, so this is why I need clean to change date format before saving.

A: If you want to change the date formats for the DateField, you should set input_formats instead.
class EventModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    start_date = forms.DateField(
        verbose_name='Start Date',
        input_formats=['%a %b %d %Y'],
    )

class Meta:
    model = Event
    fields = ['name', 'description','start_date']

Since you are not including your custom format in the field, the field itself will raise a validation error, therefore the clean_start_date method never runs. You can read more about the order of validation in the docs. Note that you shouldn't have to run strptime in a clean_* method for a DateField - the value in cleaned_data will already be a date by that point.

Q: SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER when setting up public Juypter server I'm in the process of setting up a Juypter server to host my notebooks on.
In /home/user/.jupyter/notebook_configuration.py
c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'/home/user/.jupyter/mycert.pem'
c.NotebookApp.keyfile = u'/home/user/.jupyter/mykey.key'

And if I ran on the console
jupyter notebook --ip="ip_address" --port=8000 --certfile=mycert.pem --keyfile mykey.key

The server and the certificate worked!
However, when I set up a DNS entry and attempt to route to the server I ran into this error
SSL Error on 10 ('ip_address', 63748): [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:600)

What's going on?

A: The problem is a super simple one that took me longer to figure out than it really should have.
By default the address that the console gives you is a https address to route to. https works.
But if you enter
your_url.com

it'll take you to http://your_url.com. If you set up TSL certs for your server your http routes don't work anymore and Jupyter doesn't come with a reroute to https out of the box.
Work Around: use https instead
My Long Term Solution: I ended up hosting my Jupyter notebook behind apache.


Your growth strategy has to be aligned with your target customers' priorities or it is destined to fail. You can conduct surveys, use focus groups, and monitor customer calls to find specific desires to fulfill. They may be right, or they may be just what that group was thinking about at the time.
You can also scour your database for minute details so your can tweak your offerings to improve their returns. But, if it isn't easy for people to shop, buy, and return, you are missing the most important strategy.
If you want to jump start your holiday season, borrow an easy button from Staples, and put your catalog, website, and store to the test. Forget about all the industry rules and best practices and look at the shopping experience from a customer's point of view.
Is it easy to find your return policy? Are your products descriptions detailed and easy to read? Do your frequently asked questions have enough information? Are they regularly updated? Is there an 800 number for customer service on every web page? Do you have kiosks in your store? Does your product search work well?
Your planned growth strategy changes when you start looking at your business from your customer's perspective. You may keep the analytics, but you will add the easy factor because you understand the frustration when shopping is challenging.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) statistics have been published in the Social Security Bulletin since the program began in 1974. For the most part, these statistics have been snapshots of current caseloads. Now, a new SSI longitudinal file permits a retrospective look at past program data. It also permits us to redefine key program indicators and to produce new distributions for these data. In this article, we take a look back in time at SSI applications, caseloads, and awards, and describe how these data were obtained from the SSI administrative computer files.


I once heard a sermon* in which the preacher said that it would be practically impossible to commit suicide while listening to Handel's Messiah. Aren't there just pieces of music that lift you higher than where you started, or at least elevate you from a pit of despair?
In the world of improv, there's a concept of "yes, and." Meaning that if you say "yes, and," then the action/narrative/drama/scene can go on, but if you say something akin to "no" or allow the dialogue or action to stop with you, then the scene is over. It can't go further without each player moving it along.

Homework is a little bit different in Year 6 as we seek to fully prepare children for the rigours of secondary school. On this page you will find details of the Essential Home Learning expectations and the Deeper Learning Tasks on offer after SATs. There is then some further detail regarding the particular requirements of Year 6.
them at least 4 times a week.
Practise the x table your child is learning/revising.
revision for SATs tests and preparation for secondary school.
This information is communicated in the children's diaries.
Children in Year 6 keep a homework diary. This is good preparation for the expectations of secondary school. They record each week's tasks in their diary. The usual pattern is Monday: spelling, Wednesday: maths, Thursday: literacy and, from time to time, other tasks. Children usually have a minimum of five days to complete each task.
Your child may well be able to complete tasks alone but it'll be better if you're involved. This is a job for dads and mums. Talking about the activities will double their benefit, and we hope you'll enjoy doing them together.
An average of about half an hour each day is about right for children in Year 6.
There'll be spellings and other writing activities. Also number facts to learn (mostly times tables) plus occasional longer tasks. Above all, there's reading, no less important in Year 6 than in earlier years.
Reading is easily the most important thing. If you regularly share books with your child you'll make a big difference to his/her success in school. Children in Year 6 need to keep up the habit of reading regularly and you can encourage this by being involved.
And remember, no primary school child is ever too old to enjoy being read to by you. Together, you might select books that are just a bit tricky for your child to read alone, possibly school library books, helping to keep him/her interested in the whole business of reading for pleasure.
Practise times tables facts. Your child will know a good few tables by now: plug the gaps and practise the trickier 6's, 7's 8's and 12's. Time how long it takes your child to recite a times table and challenge him/her to do it faster the next day... Get good at recalling random facts out of order.
Please do check your child's work with him/her if you can. Do this before handing in ideally. If there are errors by all means consider them together and make corrections: it's better to spot misunderstandings sooner rather than later.
We send spellings home with Year 6 children weekly and the lists of words are sent home in diaries. The routine we encourage is SACAWAC: See the word And Cover the word And Write the word And Check the word. It helps children to say the word as they write it.
Please encourage neatness and careful presentation in your child's homework book. In Year 6 children usually write in pen (not biro please).

The Big Five was a series of biological weapons developed by the United States Army Chemical Corps' Special Operations Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick Biological Warfare Laboratory (BWL) for use by special forces.  These weapons were developed in the 1950s and 1960s, and were eventually destroyed when the United States unilaterally ended its offensive biological warfare program.

The weapons were -

M1 Biodart (E1) A 7.62mm rifle cartridge with a sabot surrounding a flechette with exterior grooves filled with either botulinum toxin A (XR), saxitoxin (TZ), or possibly a combination of the two.  There were 4,450 filled and 5,315 unfilled M1s in the arsenal at the time of its destruction.

M2 Separable Bullet (E2)
A 7.62mm rifle cartridge with a hollow metal bullet containing dry-type botulinum toxin A (XR), or a simulant.  The bullet would release a puff of aerosol on impact.  Anthrax (TR) was another possible fill.  There were 71,696 filled and 14,046 unfilled M2s in the arsenal at the time of its destruction.

M4 Disseminator
A small gas expulsion device for disseminating a dry-type agent, such as tularemia (SR).  There were 21,150 filled and 34,568 unfilled M4s in the arsenal at the time of its destruction.

M5 Depositor (E44)
A metal can that would expel a quantity of dry-type from the side of a road to work as an anti-convoy device from secondary aerosols (kick-up).  Though intended for anthrax (TR) these were only filled with simulants.  There were 90 filled and 2,604 unfilled M5s in the arsenal at the time of its destruction.

M32 Disperser
Using a pressurized gas bottle, regulator, heater, and timer, the M32 was a man-pack weapon for pre-emplacement upwind of a target.  The agent reservoir was an interchangeable compartment that held either 7 liters of wet-type or 2.75 kilograms of dry-type agent.  It was intended for use with tularemia (SR) or simulants.  There were 168 filled and 348 unfilled M32s in the arsenal at the time of its destruction.

A research project jointly commissioned by the IFoA and Life and Longevity Markets Association (LLMA) has developed a readily-applicable methodology for quantifying the basis risk arising from the use of population-based mortality indices for managing longevity risk. Such indices are often used in pension benefits and annuitant liabilities as well as providing actuaries with key data.
Phase 1 was completed by Cass Business School and Hymans Robertson LLP in 2014, which included examining longevity basis risk. This led to the development of a methodology that could be used to measure longevity basis risk.
The current Phase 2 has been undertaken by Macquarie University and supported by University of Waterloo, Australian National University and Mercer Australia. This research focuses on putting the earlier work conducted in Phase 1 into practice and measuring longevity basis risk in a number of practical examples using UK, as well as international datasets.
This research is intended to enable practitioners to better assess the benefits that might be available from the use of simpler, more standardised and easier to execute index-based longevity solutions, as well as the extent of the basis risk that might be introduced by the use of population mortality data to determine mortality improvement assumptions.

Harley Price, often working under the nom de guerre 'Paleface', is a London-born and based multimedia artist. His current practice combines both 2 and 3-dimensional work, performance and installation.
Departing from the principle of destruction as a catalyst for creation, his work explores the overarching theme/ phenomena of fear - induced fear as a mechanism for oppression, injustice and social control.
His work questions the duality of his role and position within the system [is the Artist an agent provocateur or a pawn, the culpable or the victim?] and the ubiquitous and subconscious desire for absolution from complicity and guilt.
Iconoclastically appropriating pan-historical, pan-anthropological and socio-political elements in his work as metaphors for oppression and injustice, he attempts to force the displacement of the subject, giving the object its form; the icon is not broken but transformed, creating a sense of both occupancy and vacancy, shelter and exposure, fear and control.
Art responds to and creates memory where there was none or it has vanished. Through solemn dissent and a refusal to sentimentalize conflict and abuse, his work seeks to unsettle, challenge and provoke, disturbing the viewers expectations and memorialising those we habitually conceive to be "the Other", the hoary generic concept of a Homogeneous "Us" versus an Alien "Them",designating everyone and no one.

recoil velocity of gun
View All. So the figures in any recoil table should be taken as approximate. All rights reserved. R= Recoil. Case in point, a 45 ACP's 230 grain bullet has an approximate muzzle velocity of 830 fps. $ E = {\frac 1 2} m v^2 = \frac{p^2}{2m} $ where: 1. Fifteen foot pounds is probably about the maximum recoil energy most shooters feel reasonably comfortable with, particularly at the shooting range, where most serious marksmanship practice occurs. Recoil Energy Calculator. In technical terms, the recoil is a result of conservation of momentum, as according to Newton's third law the force required to accelerate something will evoke an equal but opposite reactional force, which means the forward momentum gained by the … In addition to gun weight, it is influenced by many factors. Then there is recoil velocity. Then, Recoil= (10*14.86)/ (2*32.174) So, Recoil= 34.32 ft pounds. Gas-operated semi-automatic actions reduce apparent recoil by spreading it over a longer period of time. Due to the recoil velocity the shooter experiences a backward jerk. Recoil is used to load bullets in machine guns. (i.e. This shows that despite the high velocity of the bullet, the small bullet-mass to shooter-mass ratio results in a low recoil velocity (V) although the force and momentum are equal. The 1929 edition of the same textbook stated, in addition, that recoil velocity should not exceed 15 fps; above that velocity a gun-headache was very likely to occur. From Newton's second law, the energy of a moving body due to its motion can be stated mathematically from the translational kinetic energyas: 1. Guns with similar recoil, but shooting heavier bullets will recoil slower. Ans. It's based on the mass and speed of the ejected body and the mass of the recoiling body. Recoil velocity of gun is much smaller than the velocity of bullet. 1 we can write for the velocity of the gun/shooter: V = mv/M. The formula for the recoil of a gun is: VG = (VB • Bt)/Gn Copyright 2002, 2016 by Chuck Hawks. This means that the momentum of a rifle's reaction will exactly equal the momentum of the bullet and powder gasses ejected from the barrel. The higher the recoil velocity, the greater the discomfort. A good recoil pad can help soften the blow to the shooter's shoulder. However, perceived recoil, what the shooter feels, is a highly subjective matter. This should tell you something.) 9.8k VIEWS. The actual recoil is the same. The recoil velocity of a gun is a simple application of the conservation of momentum where the moment of the bullet going away is equal to the momentum of the gun recoil. Law of Conservation of Momentum Newton's Third Law states that every applied force has an equal and opposite reaction. • Required an excessively high propellant to projectile mass ratio of five at that muzzle velocity to eliminate recoil in that study. A recoil velocity of over 10 fps is about the point at which shooting starts to get uncomfortable. The recoil velocity is the result of conservation of linear momentum of the system. One of the most important of these, in addition to gun weight, is the fit and shape of the grip and the shooter's personal hold. Never-the-less, the table below should give a reasonably accurate comparison of the recoil of most popular handgun cartridges and loads when fired in pistols of typical weight. The recoil energy and recoil velocity figures are taken from various sources including the recoil nomograph in the Handloader's Digest 8th Edition, various online recoil calculators, the Remington Shoot! "You can solve using the principle of conservation of momentum." If the weight of the weapon is reduced to 1 lb, then the recoil velocity is 20.0 ft/s and the recoil energy is 6.3 ft/lb. These sorts of things cannot be accounted for in a recoil table. Just assume, VG= 14.86 fps. Use this calculator to calculate the recoil on you rifles, handgun, and other firearms. (The standard British .303 Lee-Enfield infantry rifle was below that figure, as are most service rifles to this day. But since the gun's mass is more, it attains a lesse velocity. Above this level recoil becomes increasingly intrusive. Choose a rifle weight appropriate for the loads you intend to shoot. But most shooters find the 35 Whelen more comfortable since the recoil is spread over a longer period of time. In simple terms, the recoil velocity is the factor which makes a gun unpleasant to shoot. Copyright 1999, 2018 by Chuck Hawks. • A 2001 study by Schmidt of ARL in comparing railguns and propellant guns estimated recoil elimination near Mach 7 (2,400 m/s) [9]. the gun 'jumps' backwards and a … Like muzzle rise, that adds time between accurate shots. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; that is one of the physical laws of our universe. Join the 2 Crores+ Student community now! The longer you shoot, and the harder the rifle kicks, the more likely you are to flinch. To keep reading this solution for FREE, Download our App. It can be measured or computed empirically and has been for this recoil table. Momentum short form: Recoil energy = 0.5 x {[ (bullet mass x bullet velocity) + (powder charge mass x powder charge velocity) / 1000] 2} / Gun mass. What is the formula of recoil velocity of a gun????? One of the most important of these is the fit and shape of the rifle stock. For good deals on cheap handgun ammo go to. Let m and M be the masses of bullet and gun,respectively. Reducing Recoil. Choose a gun weight appropriate for the loads you intend to shoot. The 1929 edition of the same textbook stated, in addition, that recoil velocity should … Gun Weight Matters. Therefore, the figures in any recoil table should be taken as approximate. Recoil velocity is the backward velocity experienced by a shooter when one shoots a bullet. of free recoil energy was the maximum allowable for a military service rifle. 1 1/8th ounce at 1145 fps) and the weight of your gun … Since mass of the gun is very large as compared to the mass of the bullet,the velocity of the recoil is very small as compared to the velocity of the bullet Example -1 Calculate the recoil velocity of gun whose mass is 5 kg and it shoot the bullet of mass .015 kg with velocity 500 m/s For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; that is one of the physical laws of our universe. "The recoil velocity of the gun is "v_r=-2.67" "m/s "given :" m_g: " mass of gun ,"m_g=1500" "kg v_g :" velocity of gun before the shell is fired ,"v_g=0 m_s: " mass of shell , "m_s=10" "kg v_s: "velocity of shell ,"v_s=400" "m/s v_r: "the recoil velocity of the gun , "v_r=? 2 See answers Kuldeepnehra Kuldeepnehra After firing the bullet, the bullet moves forward with a large momentum and the gun moves backward with equal momentum. Let's say you're a 12-gauge shooter toting a typical sporting clays or waterfowl type shotgun weighing in at close to eight pounds. RW= Rifle weight. Recoil energy determines how hard the blow to the hand feels and recoil velocity determines how abrupt the blow feels. Fast, sharp recoil is startling and unpleasant for most people. VG= Velocity of the gun. You can see this whenever someone shoots a gun; they require to ground themselves to hedge alongside the recoil. When a bullet is fired from a gun,the gun moves back,opposite to the direction of motion of the bullet.This backward motion of the gun is called recoil and the velocity with it moves back is called recoil velocity.Before firing the bullet,both the bullet and the gun are at rest.Hence,the total momentum is zero.After firing the bullet,the bullet moves forward with a large momentum and the gun … Increase the gun weight by, say, 25% and the recoil goes down by 25%. Do not forget that rifle weight is a crucial factor in the recoil equation, inversely proportional to recoil. If you've survived that brief math diversion, you might have noticed that the firearm weight is a direct input to both recoil velocity and recoil energy, so it's a big deal when considering what the shooter will feel. The following recoil figures are taken from various sources including online recoil calculators, the Remington Shoot! My subjective impression is that, with a well designed stock, recoil velocity above about 10 fps begins to feel like a sharp rap on the shoulder rather than an abrupt push. View Solution in App. If you're shooting a 1⅛-ounce lead load with an instrumental velocity of 1145 feet per second, that load in your eight-pound gun is generating about 19.86 foot/pounds of free recoil; let's call it 20 ft./lbs. The backward movement of the gun is called the recoil of the gun. Disturbed by images coming from Afghanistan of Soviet military forces wearing body armor and advanced helmets, the military alliance wanted a cartridge that offered a little more oomph than the standard 9×19 Parabellum, then common in Western European sub guns such a… 9.8k SHARES. Increase the gun weight by, say, 25% and the recoil goes down by 25%. Velocity (sharpness) is how fast and hard the recoil feels. Velocity. Why? program or calculated from the formula given in the Lyman Reloading Handbook, 43rd Edition. The bullet pushes back the gun with the same velocity. The same exact pistol firing a 275 gr bullet with 40 gr of powder will give us 1804 fps of muzzle velocity with a recoil energy of "just" 28 ft-lbs. A plane flying horizontally at a height of 1 5 0 0 m with a velocity of 2 0 0 m s − 2 passes directly overhead an antiaircraft gun. Kinetic energy For this reason the gun must have a recoil velocity after the bullet is fired (i.e. $ E\, $is the translational kinetic energy 2. Also, please understand that there are dozens of loads for any given bullet weight in any cartridge that will produce the same velocity, but a different amount of recoil. After you input the necessary data such as the bullet weight, bullet velocity, powder charge weight, and the firearm weight it will output the recoil impulse, recoil velocity, and the recoil energy of the firearm. Never-the-less, the table below should give a reasonably accurate comparison of the recoil of most popular rifle cartridges. In the shooting sports we call that reaction recoil or "kick." These are good things to remember when comparing rifle cartridges. Then, plug the now known Gun velocity of 2.61 meters per second into the translational kinetic energy formula: 15.43 J = 0.5 x 4.54 x 2.61 2. It is influenced by many factors. … Violate this principle by, for example, chambering a lightweight, short action rifle for a powerful Magnum cartridge like the .300 WSM and the result will be a dramatic increase in kick. It can also result in the muzzle dipping after each shot. The gun must therefore have the same magnitude of momentum but in the opposite direction so that they cancel each other out leaving the total momentum still equal to zero. This program calculates the recoil energy when you shoot a shotgun. A dramatic increase in kick results (and accuracy suffers equally dramatically) when powerful cartridges and loads intended for full size service pistols are chambered in lightweight, subcompact pistols. In the table below rifle weight is given in pounds, free recoil energy is given in foot pounds, and free recoil velocity is given in feet-per-second. You need to know the load weight in ounces, the muzzle velocity. A consideration of energy leads to a different equation. You typically see a cartridge's muzzle velocity expressed in units of feet per second (fps). This means that the momentum of a handgun's reaction will exactly equal the momentum of the bullet and powder gasses ejected from the barrel. "you should calculate the total … $ … But more importantly, recoil is a shock of sorts - you're balancing against a sudden force that last a … Recoil energy determines how hard the blow to the hand feels and recoil velocity … But that's not the only important thing by far. These can be measured or computed empirically and have been for this recoil table. The bullet is fired with a velocity v and the recoil velocity of the gun is V. Example, same as above: As I said, it is simple arithmetic and the formula for recoil energy is simply E=1/2 MV Squared, with "M" being mass of the gun and "V" being the recoil velocity. Advantages Simple. All recoil values have been rounded off to one decimal place. The recoil velocity of guns or cannons can be calculated in a straight forward manner from the conservation of momentum principle. The development of the 5.7x28mm is a tale of the cart coming before the horse. Do not forget that gun weight is a crucial factor in the recoil equation, inversely proportional to recoil. This is the rate at which the bullet is moving the instant it exits the barrel of a handgun. In the real world, firearms chambered for less powerful cartridges are typically built lighter than firearms chambered for more powerful cartridges. Mass of gun, = 4 kg, Initial velocity of the gun,, Mass of bullet, = 50 gm = 0.05 kg, Initial velocity of the bullet,, Final velocity of the gun (recoil velocity of gun),, Final velocity of bullet, = –0.4375≈– 0.44 If it's too much, it becomes hard to practice or train with the pistol. Let me put another demo to make you clearer once again. In 1909, the British Textbook of Small Arms stated that 15 ft. lbs. From Eq. $\begingroup$ @Dargscisyhp Momentum, yes. program or calculated from the formula given in the Lyman Reloading Handbook, 43rd Edition. Also, please understand that there are dozens of possible loads for any given bullet weight in a given caliber that will produce the same velocity, but a different amount of recoil. For example, the kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared - so the same amount of momentum applied to a heavier object will result in less kinetic energy than with a lighter object. All rights reserved. However, perceived recoil, what the shooter feels, is a highly subjective matter. Related Video. In addition, the effects of recoil are cumulative. It is worth remembering that the majority of authorities agree that recoil of over twenty foot pounds will cause most shooters to develop a serous flinch, which is ruinous to bullet placement (the prime component of killing power). While recoil energy determines how hard the blow to the shoulder feels, recoil velocity determines how abrupt the blow to the shoulder feels. Note: For an expanded version of this table with more entries, see the Expanded Handgun Recoil Table. In the shooting sports we call that reaction recoil or "kick." A good example is 35 Whelen with 225 gr bullets vs a 300 WM with 180 gr bullets. Fig: Backward Velocity of the gun and Forward Velocity of gun … Note:For an expanded version of this table showing more calibers and many more loads, including British, European, wildcat, obsolescent American and proprietary calibers, see the Expanded Rifle Recoil Table. In the early 1980s, NATO put out a call to its ammo friends. Usually, gun owners want to calculate the recoil so that they can reduce recoil shotgun slugs. Then the angle with the horizontal at which the gun should be fired for the shell with a muzzle velocity of 4 0 0 m s − 1 to hit the plane is: Recoil velocity is a product of gun weight, projectile weight, and muzzle velocity, and it's measured in feet per second.

Australian cop quits after bombshell interview, claims most colleagues 'suffering' & don't want to enforce tough Covid-19 rules
A female officer with Victoria Police, who served for 16 years, has resigned in protest against the use of police to enforce Covid-19 rules, saying in an interview that a "great majority" of her colleagues shared her sentiments.
Acting Senior Sergeant Krystle Mitchell has appeared on The Discernible Interviews channel on YouTube on Friday, wearing her dark-blue uniform and revealing that she had been "troubled" by how police resources have been applied during the pandemic by state authorities.
Victoria Police has been tasked with making sure that people in one of Australia's most populous states abide by the lockdown restrictions, and with curbing illegal protests against the health rules and vaccination mandates, which often turn violent, resulting in numerous arrests and accusations of police brutality. Melbourne, Victoria's capital city, holds the world record for longest lockdown.
Mitchell, who had been working with the gender equality and inclusion command, said that "all of my friends that are police officers that are working the front line and are suffering every day enforcing CHO (Chief Health Officer) directions, that certainly the great majority don't believe in and don't want to enforce."
The law enforcers were "scaring people in the community," and she herself felt uneasy when encountering officers in the street while off-duty and wearing civilian clothes, she confessed.

Eli: Movie Review
Its Halloween week so Netflix made a good call in releasing thir Netflix original movie Eli on the lead up to the season of scares. It already had a great trailer that got me curious about the movie before its release. Mind you, that even though the concept is similar to Jake Gyllenhaal's Bubble Boy, Eli is nowhere close to the 2001 romantic comedy.
Synopsis: Eli (Charlie Shotwell) is allergic to the outside world, but his parents don't know what actually triggers his life threatening illness. He needs to wear a Hazmat suit at all times and he cannot step out of his isolation tent because he breaks out in hives with the slightest sign of contamination. As a last resort, his parents take him a remote location where Dr. Isabella Horn's (Lilli Taylor) unorthodox methods have "cured" those who suffer similar conditions as Eli. Here, he meets a mysterious neighbor (Sadie Sink) who visits him at night and tells him about Dr. Horn's other patients.
First off, I liked director Ciaran Foy's approach to the unraveling of Eli's story. He methodically laid out all of the elements and teased audiences with little clues to figure out what was actually happening in Dr. Horn's compound. Why was Eli the only one haunted by the ghosts in the house? Was Dr. Horn a heroine or a villain? What were they doing to Eli with all the procedures and what were the ghosts trying to tell Eli in the first place? Foy plants all the seeds at the right time, and gradually sheds light into their role in the story, making sense of the unexpected twist in the end.
I must admit that I was a bit distracted by the fact that Lilli Taylor is once again trapped inside an old house, which reminded me of her movie The Haunting (the film version of The Haunting of Hill House). Speaking of The Haunting of Hill House, Eli's approach to horror was actually quite similar to the Netflix original series. I liked how the hauntings were executed, which is a huge credit to the special effects team. They did not go over the top and used jump scares sparingly, baiting audiences with prolonged silences that built up to the climax. The approach was creepy, dark and accentuated by eerie background music that underscored Eli's feeling of terror and confusion.
The cinematography, was also masterful. This made the shots and the transitions so engaging for audiences who are already hooked to the plot and the mystery.
The young cast led by Charlie Shotwell did exceedingly well. He was able to make audiences care about his character and feel for him, especially during the time he felt trapped and alone inside the house. He also impressively pulled off the transition in his character after the main twist was revealed. Stranger Things' Sadie Sink didn;t have to do much but her presence was enough to get audiences thinking. This was the advantage of starring in a hit Netflix series and Eli used it to perfection.
Eli was a solid addition to Netflix's original horror films. While it was not an entirely original concept to blow audiences' minds, it knew what it wanted to achieve and did not stray the course with excessive bravado. It just delivered a well executed horror movie that shocked and scared in all the right places. That's all we can ask for.

Question: What is the collective perception of reality?
Let's say I am a biological organism consisting of billions of cells that are united and that is how I perceive the world. But each cell in me somehow perceives the world as well. Could it be compared with how the individual perceives the world and how the society perceives it? How does the Kabbalist perceive the world?
Answer: Our body organically perceives the world though all its pores, though all its cells, though all its organs of perception: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
A Kabbalist perceives the world though the common desire, which consists of both the still, vegetative, animate, and human desires taken together. That is, to some extent, a Kabbalist perceives everything that exists in the universe as his own. For the most part, it is humanity's desire that he feels as his own.
And it is not easy at all. This imposes a big change in his impressions of the world, brings corresponding reactions within him. Baal HaSulam writes that he feels everything within himself, on himself, but not at the level of separate sensations.
Let's say there are ten children in the family, everybody has their needs, and the mother as if feels all of her children. She feels in general: what they lack, what is best for them, and so on. She does not feel the individual egoism of each, but in general, this desire, their aspiration, and the opportunity she can give them.


2018 saw the first trickle of applications by enforcement agencies for the freezing of bank accounts and subsequent forfeiture. It is likely that 2019 will see an exponential rise in such applications and practitioners should be fully prepared to assist any parties who may face such proceedings.
Account Freezing Orders (AFO), along with the much publicised Unexplained Wealth Orders are the latest tools in the arsenal to fight fraud and organised crime, or rather to assist in the recovery of illegitimate assets. Both were introduced by virtue of the Criminal Finances Act 2017 which inserted various sections into the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
In an increasingly digital environment, this new legislation has been created to tackle issues which arise from investigating fraud, the funding of terrorism and alleged breaches of economic sanctions with a view to recovering the funds – not necessarily to bring criminal charges. Largely, those issues relate to necessity for speed and efficiency amid what are often complex investigations.
Essentially the legislation takes the existing powers which allow for the seizure of cash and transposes those powers to allow for an application for the seizure of the contents of a bank account.
Such an application may therefore be made where an enforcement officer has reasonable grounds for suspecting that money held in an account maintained with a bank or building society is recoverable property or is intended by any person for use in unlawful conduct.
This is identical to the test set out for the seizure of cash and the values are also the same – a minimum of £1000 and no maximum.
The authors of the legislation therefore clearly considered that the AFO would be an extension of the existing ability to seize cash. However, in practice, the freezing of an entire bank account is more akin to the more well-known restraint order (RO) and has far wider consequences than simply seizing cash.
However, unlike the RO, which is sought in the Crown Court during a criminal investigation, the AFO is sought in the Magistrates Court and a criminal investigation may not have been commenced or even envisaged – there is, of course, no bar to bringing one.
One might expect that if you are applying for an AFO, in the absence of a criminal investigation, the test might be slightly higher. For example, in an application for a RO where there is a criminal investigation, but one that has not concluded, the test is whether there is a reasonable cause to believe that the defendant has benefited from a crime.
With the AFO, however, it is simply a matter of whether or not a magistrate (lay bench or judge) has reasonable grounds to suspect that the contents of the account, either wholly or in part, constitutes recoverable property.
The difference between suspicion and belief is significant, of course, and with the lower threshold being used in the lower courts we can certainly expect a significant rise in these applications. After all, if an enforcement officer has reasonable grounds to suspect, then why should the court not share those suspicions?
Given the low threshold, the applicant, having submitted a bundle to the court in advance, will always be on the front foot. Contesting these applications will be a challenge and if sought on an ex-parte basis one would expect it to be granted. However, if on notice then submissions can, of course, be made, even if only to seek further clarification or evidence.
The majority of these applications will inevitably be made on the basis of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) which would have been raised initially by the bank. The account is likely to be suspended for the standard moratorium period of 31 days. It may, therefore, be the case that the applicant is facing some pressure to obtain a further period of time so that an investigation may continue.
An application may be made at any time by either the applicant or any affected party to set aside or to vary the AFO.
There will be an investigatory period, if the court grants the application, and the account may be frozen for a maximum of two years. In practice, the applicant will seek a reasonable period of three to six months and then make a further application should more time be required.
If the applicant enforcement officer is satisfied that the funds fulfil the test then they may make an application for forfeiture. The applicant must give at least 30 days' notice – an account forfeiture notice – of such an intention during which time the respondent may raise any objections.
If there are objections then the matter will be listed for a final determination by the court after hearing the evidence. The test for forfeiture increases at this stage to the court being satisfied that the funds are either recoverable property or are intended for use in criminal activity.
An AFO may be made against any account held by any person or legal entity. Unlike most POCA Restraint Orders, the AFO is targeted at a specific asset and, therefore, if there are funds available elsewhere then there would be no restriction on the use of those other funds for legal or living expenses.
However, if the account, which is the subject of the AFO, is the only source of funding in the UK then there will be an issue as there is no public funding available for such litigation.
The remedy for this is to apply for an exclusion. An exclusion can be made for both legal and living expenses. Essentially, it allows the court, upon hearing evidence, to set aside a portion of the funds in the frozen account to meet such expenses. Only reasonable legal expenses will be allowed and the rates limited to those set out in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Legal Expenses in Civil Recovery Proceedings) Regulations 2005.
To seek an exclusion the applicant and court need to be satisfied that there is no recourse to any other available funding.
Given the low threshold, speed and relatively low cost of applying to the magistrates' court, we may see a dramatic rise in the use of the AFO. More enforcement agencies are looking at civil recovery as a possible alternative to lengthy and expensive criminal proceedings where they may have to wait years for a confiscation order. If the AFO is uncontested then the funds may be forfeited in a matter of months.
Additionally, it is clear that the government has introduced this legislation as a deterrent to wealthy foreign nationals or politically exposed persons (PEPs) residing in the UK who may not have obviously legitimate means. The AFO and Unexplained Wealth Order have been designed to provide the authorities with the right tools to investigate individuals with questionable income and wealth.

SALT LAKE CITY - March 5, 2003 - parvus Corporation today announced the release of the PC/104 Double Height Adapter, a low-cost interconnection board designed to give embedded PC/104 computer systems a method for connecting circuit board modules taller than the prescribed PC/104 specification height. Pricing is $29/each in volume orders of 100+ units.
The adapter is especially useful for high-profile PC/104 CPU, power supply and hard drive modules that incorporate onboard fans or heatsinks for thermal management, as these types of boards commonly exceed the PC/104 form factor height of 0.60" and take up two card slots. Overcoming PC/104 height infringement can also be especially useful during prototype development when placing a prototype card at the end of a card stack becomes impractical.


Six tips from our Admissions team to help you through the application process.
The application process for our full time Professional Software Development course isn't complicated, but with only 20 places on each cohort it can get competitive.
To help you craft the perfect application form, we asked our Admission team to tell us what helps them decide who to invite for interview.
Our course is aimed at career changers and novices, meaning you don't need to know a huge amount about coding before you start it.
However, we need to see that you've explored coding enough to show us that you know that this is the career for you.
There are lots of online resources out there, some popular resources include Codecademy, Udacity, Udemy and SoloLearn. Start with a language like Ruby, it's the first one we teach on the course because it was written to be user friendly and is quite forgiving. HTML and CSS are good start too, but don't forget they're not true programming languages.
You could also come along to one of our Experience Code taster sessions, not only will you get to learn a bit of Ruby but you'll also get to experience how we deliver lessons.
Attitude goes a long way towards your success on this course. It's going to be hard, so you need to demonstrate you're committed to learning to code and eager to start a new career in the tech sector.
Tell us what excites you about learning to code, why do you really want to do it? Don't come up with cliché phrases like 'It's the future' – there's a future in lots of careers, why this one?
Being a programmer is all about lifelong learning and being able to undergo some self-tuition. Do you love learning and researching new ways to do things?
You also need good problem solving skills. Do you like to break things and figure out how to put them back together? Are you the kind of person who will come across a problem and go away and hunt down the answer?
You may not find the solution, but you can come back and say, 'I've looked at A, B and C and know D, but can you help me clarify E?' This is the kind of person we are looking for.

Channel 4 News have uncovered evidence of tens of thousands of pounds of overspending by the Conservatives in three key by-elections.
Invoices obtained by Channel 4 appear to show that the Conservatives overspent on the Newark, Rochester & Strood and Clacton by-elections by around £100k. All three by-elections had defectors contesting the seat for UKIP.
The alleged overspends relate to hotel and hospitality costs for Conservative Party staff and activists working on the campaigns. Details have been passed on to the Police and the Electoral Commission.

Equip Effect: Speed +2. Equipping this materia adds the "Steal" command to your battle menu, allowing you to take items from enemies. The "Mug" command allows you to attack while stealing.
Equip Effect: Luck +1. Adds "Deathblow" command to your battle list. "Deathblow" attempts to attack with a critical hit, but only connects 50% of the time.
Find: Cait Sith begins with this materia equipped.
Equip Effect: Adds "Manip." command to your battle menu. Controls an enemy until the enemy is physically attacked or dies. Ineffective on bosses. Character using the Manipulate materia will lose turns; instead, his/her turn will show up as the enemy's turn.
Equip Effect: Adds "Morph" command to the battle menu. If the "Morph" command is used, the character will execute a physical attack that does about 1/8 of the damage a normal attack would inflict; however, if this weak attack is the killing blow, the enemy will often turn into an item.
Equip Effect: Turns the "Attack" command into "Slash-All", causing the character to target all enemies at once but the attack causes 1/3 less damage. At level two, "Flash Slash" targets all enemies and effects a one-hit kill if it connects.
Equip Effect: The "Item" command becomes "W-Item," enabling you to use two items in one turn.
Equip Effect: Turns the "Summon" command into W-Summon, allowing you to cast two summon spells in one turn.
Equip Effect: Changes the "Magic" command to W-Magic, enabling you to cast two spells in one turn.
To get this materia, you must raise the Steal, Sense, Throw, Morph, Deathblow, Manipulate, and Mimic materia to Master level. This materia does not gain AP, and you must get another set of mastered materia to get another one. However, it is the easiest of the Master Materia to acquire.


Wheatley, J; Brewin, CR; Patel, T; Hackmann, A; Wells, A; Fisher, P; Myers, S; (2007) "I'll believe it when I can see it": Imagery rescripting of intrusive sensory memories in depression. J BEHAV THER EXP PSY , 38 (4) 371 - 385. 10.1016/j.jbtep.2007.08.005.
Intrusive sensory memories Lire a common feature of depression but these are not targeted in standard cognitive treatments. Imagery rescripting of distressing memories has so far been mainly used to treat trauma-related disorders and as a component of the treatment of personality disorders. We propose that this approach might also be effective in treating depression. This paper describes the initial application of imagery rescripting as a stand-alone treatment for two patients with a sole diagnosis of major depressive disorder. The two cases are described in detail and follow-up data are reported. Implications for the cognitive treatment of depression and for our theoretical understanding about the mechanisms of change in cognitive therapy are considered. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Trustees State Support for Independence of the Judiciary
Trustees State Support for Independence…
The San Fernando Valley Bar Association (SFVBA) Board of Trustees has issued the following statement regarding the independence of the judiciary following its February 13 meeting:
The San Fernando Valley Bar Association, in furtherance of its mission to uphold and defend the administration of justice, calls on our members and individuals in every position of leadership to support the following principles:
Respect for the independence of the judiciary and the separation of powers guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States and the State of California
Respect for the intellectual honesty and integrity of the justices and judges of the courts who are compelled to decide each case based on the rules of law, justly applied
Respect for all people without regard for age, ancestry, color, religious creed, disability, marital status, national origin, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation
"The San Fernando Valley Bar Association has a long history of supporting the independence of the judiciary," explains SFVBA President Kira Masteller. "Our Board believes it is an appropriate time to communicate this important principle to our members, judiciary, elected officials and the public."
"It is also the Bar's mission to educate Valley residents about the law and our judicial system. The SFVBA Attorney Referral Service is planning workshops on the state of our immigration laws, which we will announce shortly. In the interim, we have private attorneys available to answer the public's questions if they call (818) 340-4529 or visit www.sfvbareferral.com."

Opened in 2003, the Kimberlin Nature Education Center is the heart of our Audubon Center in Greenwich. Built with environmentally friendly materials and techniques, it is the main welcome center and an active hub for conservation events, exhibits, classrooms, and the Audubon Greenwich & Audubon Connecticut staff offices.
Also inside is the Hilfiger Children's Learning Center—an indoor, hands-on area with nature-themed activities, natural history exhibits, puppet theater, story corner, and a wildlife observation window. This play space is not only ideal for families with younger children, but is also enjoyed by visitors of all ages for its views and exhibits.
Other attractions include: 'Audubon At Home' themed exhibits about eco-friendly gardening practices and a well-stocked Nature Store & Gift Shop with a wide selection of toys, guidebooks, binoculars, bird feeders, seed, and snacks for hungry hikers.
The Kimberlin Nature Education Center is also available for special event rentals and children's birthday parties and serves as a starting location for the many guided hikes and public events throughout the year.
The biggest payoff is the geothermal heating and cooling system. Conventional systems heat air with electricity or by burning natural gas when outside air is coldest. Conventional summer systems cool air when it is hottest, using electrical refrigeration. These methods of cooling and heating are expensive and contribute to global warming.
At Audubon Greenwich, the earth heats itself and cools the building, taking advantage of the constant year-round temperature (about 54 degrees) of the ground 4 feet or more beneath the surface. A liquid—chemically similar to antifreeze—is pumped underground into a grouping of pipes (made from recycled plastic). Liquid colder than 54 degrees is warmed, and liquid hotter than 54 degrees is cooled, both by the surrounding earth. The heated or cooled liquid (depending on the season) passes through the closed loop into the building, which it heats or cools as needed. That precise need is determined by computer-operated controls.
The energy for changing the temperature comes from the sun-warmed earth, and it is free. The only added energy is electricity to circulate the liquid and run the heat pump.
If you would like to arrange a tour of the facility, please contact the Center Director at 203-869-1350.
The Audubon Center in Greenwich is a unique place to hold birthday parties, weddings, meetings, and more. We're conveniently located and can accommodate groups of various sizes.

Spiritual Successor

A spiritual successor, sometimes called a spiritual sequel or a companion piece, is a successor to a work of fiction which does not directly build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, but nevertheless features many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material.
Reasons for creating a spiritual successor
Due to the current nature of the publisher/developer system inherent in almost all computer games, as well as the continual purchase and takeovers (which sell the entire developer including its copyrights and trademarks) by conglomerate corporations, creative teams often fail to retain the copyright and trademark rights of their creations. This often makes attempts to create sequels for a product impossible for various reasons, such as the "core" of the studio being fired or replaced after completing a project while the parent company retains control of the copyrights and trademarks. A good example of this strategy is Electronic Arts, which has closed many studios while keeping their copyrights and trademarks, such as Bullfrog Productions, Origin Systems, and Westwood Studios.
To get around this, creative teams will make a product that resembles the original game in some way, without copying or mentioning the original directly, notably omitting the title, story, and character names. For instance, the video games TimeSplitters and, more often, Perfect Dark are often considered to be the...
