Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a Titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a Colossal Titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller Titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single Titan and take revenge for all of mankind.

Cover Story: Restoring Honor with Justice
Judge Mary Jane Knisely's Innovative Approach
In a quiet hallway behind the district county courtroom where Judge Mary Jane Knisely presides, a shackled and clean-shaven young man awaits transport back to the Yellowstone County Detention Facility. He shifts his weight from side to side yet stands a little taller when he sees her coming down the hall. As she passes, she looks him square in the eye and says, "If I go to bat for you, I don't want you to let me down." It's clear he has a military background when he looks at her and says, "No ma'am, I won't."
This one-time soldier is facing charges in three states for a string of felony drug and theft charges. "I feel like the system has let him down," Judge Knisely says. "He's homeless now. He's on the street. He has no money. He's a young man that had never been arrested before his military service and now he's a multi-state offender." He's a 26-year-old man facing the demons tied to his one-time heroin addiction. "That's what happens when you send people off to places with opium fields," she says. If he's moved through the traditional court system, a lengthy prison term awaits him.
Judge Mary Jane Knisely wants to try a different approach.
"I just believe there is a better way of doing justice," she says with passion in her voice. "When you send someone off to war and bring them back broken, then it's your job to give them a chance to get them back where they were, to honor their service and help them to become whole."
Mary Jane Knisely's entire career has been one of public service. She started fresh out of law school as a law clerk for Judge Russell Fillner. The next eight years were spent prosecuting cases for the City Attorney's Office. In 1997, she ran successfully for municipal judge in Billings and for the last 12 years, she's been a pioneer in innovative criminal justice.
As a municipal court judge, Judge Knisely set up a handful of treatment courts to handle misdemeanor drug cases, DUI cases, and cases where mental health issues were at the core of the criminal charges. In 2010, after her election to the District Court bench, she petitioned the State Supreme Court to start a Felony DUI treatment court — the first of its kind in the state. Within the year, the STEER court, also known as Sobriety Treatment Excellence Education and Rehabilitation, was born. In 2011, she secured grant funding to launch another first-of-its-kind court — a veteran's treatment court known as CAMO or Courts Assisting Military Offenders. Today, Judge Knisely sits at the helm of these two therapeutic justice programs that deliver intense supervision and accountability.
"I feel the way we've done justice, the way we've handed out cookie cutter sentences all these years, has been the recipe for disaster," Judge Knisely says. "No one considered why they ended up in court to begin with, and the cycle of families just continued to come through the system based on poverty, addictions, abuse or trauma. The only way to break that is to come and be excited every day and try to come up with a creative solution, being dedicated to resolving it, and having an end that fits that individual."
THE SUCCESS IS IN THE STATISTICS
Right now, 1,700 inmates sit in the custody of the Montana Department of Corrections. Last year, 329 of those inmates were granted parole. If historical data holds true, 54% of male offenders and 53% of female offenders will be back behind bars before they even reach the year anniversary of their release.
Let those numbers sink in a bit as we take a glance at the success witnessed in Judge Knisely's treatment courts.
Since the STEER court launched, 242 offenders joined the program and 82% graduated. A little more than 12% reoffended. Of the 101 vets to appear before the CAMO court, 73% have graduated and, to date, only one person faced the criminal justice system again. It's easy to see why there's a waiting list for offenders to enter both court programs.
"The research in problem-solving courts shows that if a judge spends three minutes a week with these participants, that the outcomes are so different — just by spending that time talking to those people," she says. Judge Knisely speaks with passion when she shares one transformation story. "I had one client who was burrowing holes down by the Yellowstone River because he was under the influence of meth. He was arrested for driving a skid steer because he thought the feds were chasing him. He's become someone who has 600 days clean and sober. He has his own business and is now mentoring other addicts. That's a big deal." It's one less repeat offender willing to take to the road under the influence. "This is the single greatest thing I have ever been involved in during my career," Judge Knisely says of her treatment courts. "It's pretty moving."
SERVING AS A MENTOR
Early on a Wednesday morning, Judge Knisely's courtroom looks more like a social hour than an official court proceeding. Coffee and bagels sit on the table and seats are set up in a square for all to actively talk and listen to one another. File folders line the table and are shuffled between law enforcement, probation officers, treatment professionals, a defense attorney, representatives from the Veteran's Administration, a Yoga instructor, a court administrator and Judge Knisely herself. This is case review time when every voice at the table talks openly about a client's progress before that client appears before the court that day.
"I will say that you can never guess who will do well in this program," Judge Knisely says. "The research shows that the worst of the worst do the best. That's who these programs are designed for — the highest risk and the highest need."
In May, both the CAMO and STEER courts were designated as being mentor courts — one of only a handful across the nation. "It was a double blessing," says the judge. For the next three years, those representing jurisdictions from all over the country will come and watch Judge Knisely and her team at work. They'll soak up the scene and tap them for knowledge on how to set up courts in their home states. Already this courtroom has played host to teams from New Mexico, Nebraska, California, and Arizona, just to name a few. In December, they'll take in a team from Guam.
It probably comes as no surprise that veterans are literally begging to be a part of this program. "We get referrals from all over the state," Judge Knisely admits. And because of it, she successfully landed a grant for a teleservice project so veterans from rural communities can still access the court. Thanks to the Center for Court Innovation, Judge Knisely's court is one of only four in the nation test-driving technology to bridge the distance for clients facing this kind of justice.

On this particular day, folks from Douglas County, Nebraska sat in the jury box with an eagle eye focus on the morning's proceedings. They watch as one vet gives a presentation sharing his community service project at Family Service Incorporated.
"This man is the only person in his family who is not in prison for dealing meth," Judge Knisely shares afterward. "He has a purple heart. He has a bronze star. He was a medic and saw many, many people blown up." The former vet suffers a severe traumatic brain injury. Despite his past and the lifelong challenges, he will undoubtedly face, "He's still trying to get along," Judge Knisely says.
Bob Blanchard is part of that Nebraska team. After spending 27 years in probation, he's spent the last year serving as the administrator for the Veteran's Treatment Court in Douglas County. He's found a new passion within criminal justice. Blanchard says, "We see the pictures of these clients when they were booked into jail. We listen to their stories and we see the sadness in some of them. Over time, we see the smiles emerge. We see them start to become proud of themselves." Blanchard pauses before saying, "You can't beat it — the feeling you get seeing this happen."
This fall, as the Douglas County Veteran's Court got ready to celebrate its first anniversary, the team returned to Yellowstone County with a new list of questions. "We thought we could share our successes and failures and see how this team dealt with those issues over the years." Blanchard says he won't forget the leg up Judge Knisely gave his county. "Seeing her passion and seeing her team's passion? How they pull for each person who is in this program?" Blanchard calls it pure inspiration.
A VETERAN'S DAY IN COURT
As veteran after veteran approached the bench during the morning's court session, they faced the court for a wide range of offenses — from driving under the influence to vehicular theft to criminal possession of dangerous drugs to vehicular homicide. Some were fresh in the program. Others were in their final phases.
Applause broke out as one vet shared that he was on his 286th day of being clean and sober. The 34-year-old former Navy man spoke frankly about the intensity of the CAMO court. "I just need to move forward and stay motivated. I have a lot on the line. I have a lot to lose." Without skipping a beat, Judge Knisely smiled at the man and said, "You have a lot to gain as well."
By the time these clients graduate, Judge Knisely will have seen them dozens upon dozens of times in her courtroom. They will have undergone more than four hundred hours of treatment. For the first 90 days, they are monitored 24/7. They're drug tested three to five times a week. For the entire program, they have mandated community service hours. If they have children, they'll enroll in parenting classes. They will take anger management classes to help them deal with their emotions and budgeting classes to help them get on track financially. Judge Knisely says, "They are just made over."
As they stand before the court, just a few feet behind them, former military men serve as their mentors, helping to guide and support them every step of the way.
Jim McCracken, a 72-year-old Vietnam War Era Veteran, sits in the courtroom today. He wears a shirt with the Justice for Vets logo emblazoned on his chest. He's there to stand behind his mentee, Drew Palmer, who's on Judge Knisely's docket that day.
"The reason why I got involved is that I am an alcoholic. I have 32 years of sobriety," Jim says. "I go to meetings with them and they know I have been where they are at. A lot of them are in here for drugs. Mine was alcohol but when you have an addiction, it's an addiction."
He watched Drew, a 30-year-old Army Veteran, move from being a meth addict and felon to a young man who is now a contributing member of society. While Drew put in a lot of hard work, Jim knows Judge Knisely's compassion from the bench played a big part in the transformation.
"She saves so many lives," McCracken shares. "She must have a strong sense of character because Drew was a mess but she gave him the opportunity to come into this court. Otherwise, he would have been in prison. His life would never have changed. He would still be on drugs." He pauses and adds, "She is a godsend for these guys."

THE NEXT CHAPTER OF JUSTICE
It's not just a mission to make a dent in DUI offenses or to restore honor to veterans that drives this District Court Judge. It's a passion to change the lives of those who come before her court. Before she was even a city court judge, Mary Jane Knisely volunteered her time to make a difference in the lives of troubled teens with the Tumbleweed Runaway Program.
"I would be the crisis counselor and go meet runaways during the night and then, I would wake up and serve as a prosecutor by day," Judge Knisely says. She did this double duty for ten years.
She'll never forget the 12-year-old girl she met in the middle of the night, fleeing the life of being trafficked for sex. "It does break my heart. My heart is very, very broken a lot of the time. I don't know how you make people completely whole," she says of some of the cases she's endured over the years.
Today, she serves on the Youth Justice Council under the Montana Board of Crime Control and, just like the innovation she's sought in her own courtroom, she's working on initiatives to make sure that young offenders are placed on the best possible paths toward success. She says, "The research shows that if you treat youth offenders the same as you treat adult offenders, all you end up doing is creating adult offenders."
Knowing what these youth offenders face, she says, "That might be my next project." To test the waters, she is already trying to mimic some of what she's doing in her treatment courts in youth court. For some, she requires status reports and sees those defendants every couple of months. She says, "If they are doing well, I can give them an incentive. If they are not, I get a chance to try to redirect them and support juvenile probation. It's working pretty well. If I had a lot of time, I would be doing all youth court cases that way."
Truth is, despite these specialized courts, Judge Knisely doesn't get a break in her normal criminal calendar. She holds the same caseload as other judges in the district, even though treatment courts are far more time intensive. Even still, it's her hope to expand her role with treatment courts, not diminish it. She would love to target young adults next. "I feel like we have a void in the population that needs a problem-solving court and that involves those 21 to 25 years old." These defendants are beyond youth court but are at a vulnerable crossroads. It's one which could mean living a life on the right path or one that could have them venturing instead down a criminal road.
This time, Judge Knisely is leaning on the folks from Douglas County, Nebraska, a jurisdiction that already has a young adult court up and running. Judge Knisely laughs a bit when she talks about the next big project. "I am a big picture thinker. I sleep very little, very little, which is good or bad because I am excited about so much. I want to dip my toe into something new all the time."
As she dreams about the next big project, today, the cases on her desk divert her attention. She thinks about the young man she encountered that morning — the multi-state offender anxiously awaiting word to hear if he would make it into the CAMO court for treatment.
"I pray that I do the right thing," she says as she reflects on this young man's fate. "I definitely want him to lick the addictions, to see what it could be like to be clean and sober and to start over."
While her focus is on this inmate today, her philosophy with him is one she shares with each and every defendant that enters her courtroom.
"I think it would be a waste not to try!" she says. "People deserve a second, a third, even a fourth chance." As she reflects on those enrolled in her treatment courts, she says passionately, "How do you know when it's the day? How do you know when this is the time that the treatment sticks? I never want to give up on anybody. I want to keep rooting for them."

A Tale of Two Soldiers
Mended Lives & Second Chances thanks to CAMO
Jordan Mordhorst is a 34-year-old graduate of the CAMO court. In 2005, this twice-deployed U.S. Marine returned home from his second tour in Iraq a broken man.
"I found comfort in drinking to handle the anxiety and depression," he says somberly now.
As a member of the Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364 known as the "Purple Foxes," Mordhorst explains his role in Operation Iraqi Freedom. "In 2003 and 2004, we did casualty evacuations. Our helicopter unit's primary mission was to get the wounded to medical facilities." The team would fly into hot zones, looking for the injured. "We lost a helicopter during my deployment with four crew members." The anniversary of losing his military brothers is a major cause of his Post Traumatic Stress.
"The PTSD is always there," he says. After he got out of the military, his drinking spiraled out of control. Over the course of eight years, he had four DUI charges under his belt. As he sat in jail facing his fourth, now felony, charge, he knew something had to change. "My life was never going to get better. I wasn't happy with my life in general because of my drinking but I was drinking because I didn't like my life. It was just this tornado."
That's when Jeri Anderson of the Veteran's Administration asked him if he wanted to give the CAMO court a try. He decided he needed to do something. "I was either going to die, wind up in prison, or lose my family, Jordan says. "I made up my mind that was it. I was done drinking."
Jordan graduated from the program two years ago and has been sober for three and a half years. After witnessing the trauma play out in the lives of his fellow soldiers, he feels fortunate he got a second chance. "The suicides of the friends that I served with – there were more than 15. I've lost touch with some of them. They turned to drugs and alcohol. They could be dead. They could be living under a bridge someplace."
Instead of following in their footsteps, Jordan Mordhorst is a happily married father of two daughters.
"This court has done so much for me. My wife and I are the strongest that we have ever been," he says with emotion evident. "My girls are my life." After going through the program, he went back to graduate school. A year and a half ago, he walked across the stage at Montana State University in Bozeman with a master's degree in engineering management.
He still stops up to say hello to Judge Knisely whenever he's in the neighborhood. "I tell her thank you all the time. It's probably worn its merit out," he says with a slight laugh. "She was the hammer, the gavel, but at the same time, she had this compassion, understanding, and willingness to help. I owe so much to her."
OUT OF THE SHADOWS
Thirty-year-old Drew Palmer felt like he didn't have one person to believe in him before he walked through the doors of Judge Knisely's courtroom. He suffered heavy abuse as a young man. His parents were habitual drug users. His dad died at 52 from a massive heart attack due to continued meth use. That's why meth was also Drew's drug of choice. Sobriety was an elusive creature that never seemed to settle into his life. His dad introduced him to hardcore drugs at 14 and eventually, the need to get high escalated to criminal activity.
"At 18, I joined the Army," Drew says today. "It was actually an attempt to try to save myself from going to prison."
Sadly, it didn't work. After blowing drug test after drug test while on weekend military leave, Drew was discharged from the military for bad conduct. He came back to Billings and his career as a criminal picked up right where it left off. He was homeless at the time, squatting on a piece of land in Laurel, living in a tent.
His last crime got the attention of Judge Knisely's CAMO court. He had stolen a vehicle off the lot at Laurel Ford and drove it for five months until an officer spotted the vehicle and busted Drew for not only felony theft but felony drug charges and eluding an officer.
"I couldn't take my own life but I was on this path that would take my life," Drew says as he reflects on that dark time. He still carries around a picture of his last arrest. In it, you see the meth-addicted shell of the man Drew is today.
"A course of vigorous reconstruction had to take place and this program is what did it." Of Judge Knisely, Drew says with tears in his eyes, "She saved my life, absolutely saved my life."
He's 21 months into the CAMO court program. "I have my own house. I have a girlfriend. We are having twins!" He has a full-time job and is on the management track at Albertsons. "I had so much to deal with. This program has given me that chance to bundle it all and take care of it piece by piece," Drew says. "I don't have to run anymore." When he gets that urge, Drew says," I take a deep breath and I think about how far I have come up this ladder."
Yellowstone County District Court Treatment Court Programs
Two programs making a difference
STEER, also known as Sobriety Treatment Excellence Education and Rehabilitation, is a felony impaired driving court funded by Montana Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety monies. Expansion grant funding helps the program accept more people into the program and as a result, try to target the state's traditionally high number of impaired driving fatalities.
CAMO, also known as Courts Assisting Military Offenders, is funded through state legislative dollars. An expansion grant helps the court to accept a greater number of veterans who currently serve or have served in the U.S. Armed Services and are charged with a felony or misdemeanor offense.
For every dollar spent on treatment courts, you save $4 in criminal justice. Cost savings arise from less time being incarcerated, fewer dollars spent caring for a defendant's children in the foster care system and the reduced cost tied to low rate of criminal re-offense.

SAN RAMON, CA –When it comes to growing a business, The True Life Companies (TTLC), the premier provider of lots and land to America's top homebuilders, has gone far beyond the conventional norms of corporate evolution – they've gone organic.
"If you want to be a pioneer in any industry, it's important that you work to advance your company from the ground up, literally. And that involves reaching out and attracting talent to the team that are both inventive and authentic," said Scott Clark, CEO of The True Life Companies.
Among the new recruits to recently join the ranks of forward-thinking advancement is Paul McDonald of Phoenix, Arizona. "Paul came to us already a trailblazer in the world of finance. He was referred to us through one of our employees, whose father had worked with Paul and instantly recognized that his ability to master transactions and operations across a broad base of industries would make an instant impact with our team," Clark said.
When a company expands with the kind of excitement and speed that The True Life Companies has, it's vital to assemble a team that can not only match that level of progress, but can formulate a vision that keeps that momentum pressing onward, said Deron Bocks, President of The True Life Companies.
And then there is Davis Leung, whose extensive management experience has served the company with pioneering spirit. Davis serves as senior vice president of Administration and Innovation.
"I knew that I would be fulfilled in my work at The True Life Companies because of its emphasis as an organization placing the highest value on achieving excellence as a team. When I spoke with Scott I was immediately impressed with how intently he listened to my ideas," Davis said.
That kind of quick and unfettered embrace of dialogue is not unusual for the team at The True Life Companies. "We are a company that values people who color outside the lines and aspire to achieve big things. It's a big part of the organic process that has us growing at such an exciting pace," Scott said.
According to Clark, The True Life Companies team is made of enthusiastic professionals who are nimble and responsive to the needs of clients, the evolving nature of the marketplace, and the ideas and talents of its people.
With numerous real estate communities in various stages of entitlement throughout California, Colorado, Arizona, and Hawaii, TTLC has grown dramatically over the last five years. They have regional offices in San Ramon, CA, Sacramento, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CO; Newport Beach, CA, Kona, HI, and its newest office in Austin, TX.
TTLC is a strategic investment and asset management firm composed of top-tier professionals with over 250 years of combined industry experience in real estate acquisitions, development, management and homebuilding.

The Manchester Giants are a British professional basketball team based in Manchester, England. The franchise was established in 2011, and admitted to the top-tier British Basketball League in 2012. The team's formation was led by a consortium headed by Graham Herstell. As of 2020, the team play their home games at the National Basketball Performance Centre in the Belle Vue area of the city.

History
Plans for a new Manchester-based British Basketball League franchise were first reported in spring 2011, initially with the city's English Basketball League outfit, Manchester Magic (headed by former NBA star John Amaechi), mooted as a possible candidate. However, after no formal bid was made, Graham Herstell put together a consortium to start a new professional basketball franchise and revive the Giants brand. A formal application to join the top-tier British Basketball League was made in January 2012, which was accepted and officially announced on 19 June, joining fellow new franchise East London Royals for the 2012–13 season. It was also announced that the new team would use the 900-seat capacity Wright Robinson College 'M18 Leisure' facility, in Gorton, as its venue for home fixtures, with a long-term plan to move to a 2,500-seat purpose-built venue as part of the redevelopment of the city's Eastlands area.

On 17 July, it was revealed via a link posted on Giants' Twitter account regarding team merchandise that the team would be wearing a purple, white and green themed kit, manufactured by Irish-based sportswear brand O'Neill's. On 19 August, media reports confirmed that the first player to sign for the new-look Giants was Nottinghamshire-born forward David Watts, who had previously played for Worcester Wolves. More signings were later unveiled with Manchester-born players Nathan Schall and Stefan Gill (formerly of Cheshire Jets and Milton Keynes Lions respectively) joining ex-Mersey Tigers star David Aliu and brothers Callum and James Jones (both sons of Giants coach Jeff Jones) in the line-up, whilst Great Britain international Nick George was rumored to be a transfer target. Former Giants star Mike Bernard was also confirmed as a new recruit along with young prospect Devan Bailey, just days before the start of the new campaign.

The new-look Giants played their first competitive game against London Lions on 21 September 2012, at their home venue at Wright Robinson College. A sell-out crowd witnessed a tight one-point victory in favour of the Giants, winning 85–84, with James Jones posting 29 points for the home team. The following week, a convincing 99–87 victory at home to Sheffield Sharks meant Giants had opened the season with a 100% record, however their form soon dipped as the new team recorded only one win in the subsequent 12 games. Former Great Britain Under-23 international Ben Eaves was signed at the end of October in a bid to improve Giants' fledgling squad, whilst a deal to sign long-term target Nick George was eventually agreed in December. The team's form gradually started to improve throughout the winter with victories against Durham Wildcats, local rivals Cheshire Phoenix and Mersey Tigers, as well as back-to-back home wins over title-chasing Surrey Heat in January and February 2013. It was announced on 19 February that Nick George had departed the club after making only six appearances. Giants continued with their resurgent form in a bid for a top-eight finish and a place in the end-of-season Play-offs, taking it down to the penultimate game of the regular season. However an 85–87 home defeat to fellow Play-off chasers London Lions – despite a heroic comeback from the Giants who were down 19 points at the start of the fourth quarter – saw Lions take eighth-place and the final Play-off spot, consigning Giants to a ninth-place finish in their rookie season.

Throughout the 2013 off-season the club announced several new partnerships and projects in the Manchester area, including the launch of a basketball academy with The Manchester College and a development partnership with Stockport Falcons basketball club. The team continued its policy of signing locally-produced players with the unveiling of Keith Page as the team's first new signing for the 2013–14 season, replacing Devan Bailey. The roster was also bolstered with the signing of veteran Yorick Williams, a stalwart of the previous Giants franchise, as well as Robert Marsden from Leeds Carnegie, Spanish forward Iker Amutxastegui and French swingman Papis Sambe. Nigeria international Jayson Obazuaye was also brought in by Coach Jones, but his transfer fell through due to the club not receiving international clearance for the player. The team improved on their rookie season performance with a 14–19 record during the regular season and qualified for the post-season Play-offs for the first time. The seventh-seeded Giants were drawn in a two-game series against the second-seed Sheffield Sharks in the Quarter-finals. The first game saw the Giants edged out by the Sharks, 60–63, at the Wright Robinson College arena, whilst the second game in Sheffield finished in a rare stalemate between the two rivals, ending 78–78. Due to Sharks' three-point advantage in the first leg, they advanced from the series with an aggregate score of 141–138. There was some success for the team however, as three Giants players were recognised in the BBL's End of Season awards honours, with David Aliu, James Jones and rookie Robert Marsden all selected as part of the Molten British Team of the Year.

The Giants management announced in June 2014 that the team would be leaving Wright Robinson College and switching to a new home venue, the 1,100-seat Trafford Powerleague Arena, for the start of the 2014–15 season.

In February 2018, the club announced plans to move into a new, 2000+ capacity arena, renovating and expanding the previous George H. Carnall Centre as part of a £35 million development in Urmston, Greater Manchester. However, after a change in leadership in the borough council, these plans are considered unlikely to go ahead.

Hey Elwood <3 I think you should start that spy clan.
I realized that in my absence i have lost my steam account access that has all my games.. And i have been unsuccessful on recovering it. I have the credit card that purchased my last games years ago (L4D & L4D2).I would think that would be enough. Any advice to recovering my access would be greatly appreciated!
Bought a new laptop that should run FF fairly well Glad to see activity on the competitive scene of things.

Welcome back elwood! I'd recommend trying to find a cd key or two, maybe of hl1 and any other hard copy of games on your steam acct and include them into the steam ticket. I know that was how I got mine back almost a ago. Hope to see you back in game soon!
I just updated my steam ticket with my credit card information and address. Hopefully that works.. There is no way that i have any "hard copy cd key" i think my HL1 cd was purchased in 1999 And that sucker is looooong gone silver!
Keep your fingers crossed i can retrieve my very old account!


1.What is the engineer's concern about the overhead rate going "up and up"?
2.The Sunbelt Corporation has $34 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate of 11.175 percent seven years ago. Interest rates have fallen to 10.50 percent. Mr. Heath, the Vice-President of Finance, does not expect rates to fall any further. The bonds have 18 years left to maturity, and Mr. Heath would like to refund the bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 18 years to maturity. The Sunbelt Corporation has a tax rate of 36 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue was 2.1 percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 1.2 percent of the total bond value. The original bond indenture contained a five-year protection against a call, with a call premium of 7 percent starting in the sixth year and scheduled to decline by one-half percent each year thereafter (consider the bond to be seven years old for purposes of computing the premium). Calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Assume the discount rate is equal to the after tax cost of new debt rounded up to the nearest whole percent (e.g. 4.06 percent should be rounded up to 5 percent).
4.What effect will a decrease in interest rates below the face interest rate and before a bond is issued have on the cash received from the bond issue? What effect will the decrease have on interest expense? What effect will the decrease have on the amount of cash paid for interest?
5.DNA Corporation issued $4,000,000 in 8 percent, 10-year bonds on February 1, 2010, at 115. Semiannual interest payment dates are January 31 and July 31. Use the straight-line method and ignore year-end accruals.

Q: What is the purpose of boolean values for the breakpoint props (xs, sm, md...) in material-ui I am struggling to find documentation on (or results via experimenting with code) what the purpose is of having booleans as values for breakpoint props for the grid component in material-ui.
Consulting the grid api documentation reveals that booleans are valid values for the breakpoint props lg, md, sm, xl, xs.
I understand that if I say sm={3} I will get a component that changes to take up 3 grid column units once the display width increases beyond the xs breakpoint (600px) but have no idea about passing a boolean as a value:
For example what would be the reason for providing xs={true} or md={false} be?
And how might I have learned the reason on my own? (is there some fundamental knowledge I'm lacking?)

A: As per the docs

*

*xs, extra-small: 0px or larger

*sm, small: 600px or larger

*md, medium: 960px or larger

*lg, large: 1280px or larger

*xl, extra-large: 1920px or larger

Reference https://material-ui.com/layout/breakpoints/

For example what would be the reason for providing xs={true} or md={false} be? And how might I have learned the reason on my own? (is there some fundamental knowledge I'm lacking?)

This xs={true} means that the column will take up an equal space that is in a given row. so given

<Grid container spacing={24}>
  <Grid item xs>
    <Paper className={classes.paper}>xs</Paper>
  </Grid>
  <Grid item xs>
    <Paper className={classes.paper}>xs</Paper>
  </Grid>
  <Grid item xs>
    <Paper className={classes.paper}>xs</Paper>
  </Grid>
</Grid>

This will have 3 equal grids.
Reference https://material-ui.com/layout/grid/#auto-layout

A:
For example what would be the reason for providing xs={true} or md={false} be? And how might I have learned the reason on my own? (is there some fundamental knowledge I'm lacking?)

The truth is, libraries and frameworks are generally opinionated in their execution. There's no way to easily tell what every reason behind each decision is unless they themselves explain it. While in some cases the reasoning can be deduced with moderate effort, other cases are far too niche to warrant heavy explanation in most cases. You can and should open an issue on the project's github page (please search first!) to find out the logic behind it, which can often lead to improvements documentation-wise.
Now onto the reasoning behind it. This requires some examination into the source code which can be hit/miss depending on how well you understand the language, and how well they wrote it.
At the bottom of the page it says:

... the implementation of the component for more detail ...

After following the link, it shows how it sets the styles depending on the value passed. For true it would be
if (size === true) {
  // For the auto layouting
  styles[key] = {
    flexBasis: 0,
    flexGrow: 1,
    maxWidth: '100%',
  };
  return;
}

and false isn't covered which likely means it will prevent those styles from being applied entirely.
Hope that helps!

King Ahab was evil, more than any king of Israel before him. I'm sure that Naboth knew this when Ahab asked him to give him his vineyard (1 Kgs 21:2). Yet, Naboth steadfastly refused because the Lord forbade him to give up his ancestral heritage.
There's no pressure when doing the Lord's will.

India's Energy Push
Amid the global clash between Saudi-led OPEC & US shale oil producers, India is crafting a balanced strategy to minimise the economic shocks of rising oil prices.
Anilesh S. Mahajan | Print Edition: May 6, 2018
His brief is clearly spelt out. Dinesh Kumar Sarraf, appointed Chairman of the beleaguered Petroleum Natural Gas Regulatory Board, or PNGRB, in December, has to debottleneck and ensure a ramp-up of the infrastructure required for gas transportation in the country. Sarraf is central to Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's plans to reduce India's consumption of oil and scale-up the gas component in the energy basket - from the existing 6.2 per cent to 15 per cent over the next decade.
The attempt to empower PNGRB signals that Pradhan means business.
Along with Sarraf, the government appointed former director at Oil India Ltd. (OIL), S. Rath, and legal expert S.S. Chahar as its other members. Earlier, Sarraf's former colleague at ONGC, S.K. Garg, was alone on the board that was defunct for all practical purposes. Sarraf, who retired as CMD of ONGC recently, is the first non-bureaucrat to head PNGRB and, being an insider, this is an extension of his previous job.
Just five years ago, gas was 11 per cent of the energy portfolio but a slump in domestic production came as a body blow. This time, the plan is well thought out. In the past, there were efforts to replace coal with gas but, since coal is domestically produced and its price is capped, there was hardly an economic rationale for the move. India also aims at taking renewables to 19 per cent of the energy mix, from a mere three per cent now, paring oil consumption for generating electricity.
India consumes oil largely for transportation, heating purposes in industries and generation of electricity off-grid -a large portion of this can shift to gas. The handicap was inadequate infrastructure and regulatory support. And thats why Sarraf has a pivotal role to play. Meanwhile, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has indicated the phasing out of the bulk of diesel locomotives in the next few years, replacing them with electric ones.
Still, securing its oil needs remains the primary concern of India at the moment. At over $70 a barrel, oil prices have risen substantially from the 13-year low of $26.55 in January 2016.
India imported 213.9 million tonnes (MT) of crude last fiscal, about 78 per cent of its demand. Indeed, in 2017/18, India spent $87.72 billion to buy oil from the international market, making it the bulkiest item on the country's import bill of $417.57 billion. Oil and gold are the two commodities that have kept the trade deficit high - in the last fiscal, trade deficit was more than $13.7 billion. Obviously, soaring oil prices make life of the country's economic planners difficult. Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian in his latest economic survey counted this as a big risk to the Indian economy, pointing out that every $10 a barrel rise in crude prices slows growth by 0.2-0.3 percentage points and fuels WPI inflation by 1.7 per cent.
Pradhan is keen on tapping energy resources across the globe.
The global war between Saudi Arabia-led OPEC and the US shale producers is seen as the biggest event in the global energy market after the oil shock of the 1970s. India has been dealt a double whammy. The steady rise in US shale production has offset part of the OPEC-Russia production cuts and capped oil price gains last year. Soft oil prices make investments in domestic exploration unviable. Spurt in prices, meanwhile, send import bills soaring.
International Energy Agency's Executive Director Fatih Boroli and OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo didn't indicate any easy and near-term solution to Business Today. In this situation, Pradhan's job becomes much more complex. Barkindo is confident that the oil embargo will extend into 2019. Countering this, US Under Secretary for Energy, Mark Wesley Menezes & other pro-US analysts said that two-third of this cut can be filled by enhanced shale output in North America. The only option for Pradhan is to spread the risk. "Diversification means nothing but finding new partners in West Asia, which is nearer to India and reaching out to old friends," says former diplomat Talmiz Ahmad. India has actually increased the share of West Asia in the crude oil basket, from 58 per cent to 64 per cent, in two years, along with getting more oil from Africa.
Meanwhile, on March 30, India's import facility at Dabhol received the first cargo of LNG from Cheniere Energys unit in Louisiana. GAIL already has a 3.5 MTPA contract with the company, along with a 2.3 MTPA agreement with Dominion Energys Cove Point liquefaction plant. Amos Hochstein, former special envoy of the US President Barack Obama on International Energy, explains that LNG from the US is competitively priced for Indian importers. "Spot cargoes are available for $3-$3.5 per unit, if you add another $1.5 for transportation to reach India. These are good deals," he said. Last year, India became an associate member of the US-led International Energy Agency, or IEA, a buyers group. On April 12, after the culmination of 16th edition of International Energy Forum in New Delhi, Pradhan joined hands with arch rival China to buy oil cargoes together. Bulk deals can attract additional discounts. Together these two countries consume 17 per cent of crude. India hosted this biannual event after 22 years, where company heads, ministers and key diplomats of buyers, suppliers and producers of oil and gas sit together to iron out challenges.

Return of the Persian friend
In mid-February, Iranian president Hassan Rouhani came to New Delhi with his oil minister Bijan Zanganeh to deepen strategic relations. The Persian country is becoming critical to reach Central Asia and Afghanistan bypassing Pakistan. India, a major buyer of oil from Iran, began reducing economic relations with it after the United Nations imposed sanctions against the country for pursuing its nuclear programme. The two countries are building bridges again. In 2017/18, India imported 19.8 MT, on an average 396,000 barrels a day, from Iran. To sweeten the deal, Iran reduced the freight charges by nearly $1 a barrel, which was backed by a commitment from India to increase imports to nearly 500,000 barrels a day.
This is in addition to India spending its resources to build two berths at Chabahar port and laying a railway line connecting the port with Zahedan on the Afghanistan border. Iran is a critical part of India's strategy to curtail Pakistan and China's influence in the region. Iran is a part of OPEC but has still refused to adhere to the diktat of cutting down oil production. The Chinese are the biggest oil buyers from Iran.
Pradhan, however, is playing his cards smartly. In the first week of April, Iran agreed to take the gas produced from the Farzad-B field, discovered by ONGC Videsh Ltd. (OVL), in the Persian Gulf. This means that India will now not have to develop an LNG export terminal to ship the gas. The OVL-led consortium was finding it economically difficult. Pradhan, in turn, has offered to buy equity in the South Azadegan oil field.
Bridging the Gulf
Some 20 days before hosting Rouhani, India had United Arab Emirates' (UAE) crown prince Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan as chief guest on Republic Day. UAE has already committed investment of $75 billion for modernisation of Indian infrastructure. This doesn't include Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's (ADNOC) agreement to fill half of the strategic oil reserves in Mangalore.
Various diplomats told Business Today that, in the last three years, India has understood the needs of West Asia like never before. The biggest takeaway of this is 'de-hyphenated' relations. "Today, you do business with Saudi sheikhs as well as with Israel, US and Iran. Your relationship is not dependent on their mutual relationships," says a senior bureaucrat. Christof Ruhl, former chief economist at British multinational BP and current Global Head of Research at Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, explains this as a new takeaway, where the relationships are graduating, from being mere buyers and sellers, to a partnership. Pradhan needs to tread cautiously. In 2016, he convinced Qatar's RasGas to renegotiate the gas supply contract and change the formula. As a result, the price of LNG from their biggest seller became half. Now, he is sending Petronet LNG and OVL team to consider picking stakes in Qatar Gas' assets. "The conversation is in a preliminary stage, but we are sending the team to understand the assets and see the data," says Prabhat Kumar, MD of Petronet LNG, confirming the development. Then, Kuwait Oil is hoping to sign a deal to buy a stake in an Indian refinery. "India is an important destination to us, and we are at final stages of negotiations," says Nabeel Bourisli, CEO of Kuwait Oil's international arm.
Meanwhile, an Indian consortium signed an MoU with Saudi Aramco for their 50 per cent investment in a mega-refinery along the countrys west coast. "This is more beneficial for Gulf countries. They are looking at assured buyers and the petro-chemical complexes will further add to their margins," says Singapore based energy analyst Vandana Hari.
Recently, both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia cut production owing to their OPEC commitments but they are significantly losing market share to rivals Iran and Iraq, in India and beyond. "These refineries will ensure that there is enough space for them to bounce back once embargo goes" says Deepak Mahurkar of global consultancy PwC's India chapter.

All that gas
Back home, Pradhan in mid-January triggered an uproar, when he expressed his intention of splitting the marketing and construction wings of the pipeline business of the government backed gas monopoly GAIL. His logic was that GAIL should focus entirely on construction of pipelines, not marketing. "This can be done by anyone (oil & gas marketing company), country needs a robust infrastructure," the minister said.
This was not a comment made without context. He sees India ready for a surge in gas consumption. The fall in production from KG D6 has hamstrung Indias plans to turn to gas as an alternative to oil. About 25 GW of gas based power plants are more or less stranded with near to no hope of revival. This time Pradhan is creating a market and infrastructure first before opening up gas supplies.
Here, the appointment of Sarraf and split of GAIL fits really well into the story. The slide in gas supplies also means that some eight trunk pipelines have not been constructed. "We can't blame the developers alone. We are planning to change the business model to annuity based, similar to highways, to speed up construction of pipelines," Sarraf told Business Today. Together, these pipelines will cover 16,000 km.
A senior official in petroleum ministry told Business Today that the need of the hour is to take the pipelines to the eastern part of the country. In the last Union Budget, an amount of `5,176 crore was kept aside for the Jagdishpur-Bokaro-Haldia-Dhamra pipeline. This was 40 per cent of the project cost. Similarly, Gujarat State Petronet Ltd (GSPC) is seeking budgetary support of `6,600 crore for completion of the Mehsana to Bathinda-Jammu-Kathua-Srinagar pipeline. "These pipelines are national assets, you can't succeed in spreading gas and cutting down oil without them," says Dilip Khanna of EY. B.S. Negi, former member of PNGRB, says that the 15 per cent target is possible but he recommends a policy and regulatory overhaul. This includes a more liberal use of infrastructure and more availability of gas. Against the demand of 377 mmscmd, India can currently supply only 161 mmscmd and has to import the rest. Sarraf is convincing importers to reserve 20 per cent of the capacity for third-party access. "Only then India can set up trading hubs," says A.K. Balyan, former MD of Petronet LNG & current CEO of Reliance ADAG's oil vertical.
Sarraf is expected to make pipeline construction and CGD more business friendly and easier to seek finance. Just before his joining, PNGRB rolled out the seventh round of bidding for 11 cities, but got only a single response. The eighth round was a flop show too. Sarraf-led PNGRB made changes in the bid criteria with more weightage to the work programme -like the number of connections, CNG stations, etc. He plans to roll out CGD in 174 districts covering 86 geographical areas. To put things in context, right now CGD is available in less than 100 cities. This along with nearly five crore new LPG connections under the PM Ujjwala Yojna is already cutting down on the contribution of bio-fuel and waste in the energy mix."The future of every oil company is in transforming itself into an integrated energy company," remarks Sanjiv Singh of IOCL.
Big plans
Sitting in his office at Gurgaon's plush Cyber City, Cairn India's CEO Sudhir Mathur explains his plans to revive investments in their blocks, including Barmer & gas fields of Krishna Godavari basins in the eastern coast of India. Two factors will work for him: Pradhan's cleaned up domestic oil and gas production policy, with a more liberal Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy (HELP) and Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) along with the recent upswing in oil prices. The new policy allows marketing and pricing freedom for the gas producers. The OALP also allows carving out the block by the operator instead of waiting for the Directorate General Of Hydrocarbons or DGH -the watchdog of the petroleum ministry. Mathur is hoping to extract more than 225,000 barrels of oil a day from the Barmer block over the next one year. "We have rented 10 new rigs to speed up the exploration activity," says Mathur. Similarly, others too have stepped up to produce more gas and oil in the mid-term. Sarraf, before joining PNGRB, fast-tracked investments at the iconic KG-DWN-98/2 block. Reliance Industries and its partner BP plc carried on with their plans of developing satellite fields to produce more gas from the KG basin. There are other smaller discoveries on the western coast by ONGC that are expected to come up over three years.
Pradhans initiatives might take some time to bear fruit but a fresh beginning has been made. A new dawn is in the offing.

In 2009 the Festival of Regions will be oriented toward the southern edge of the city of Linz, along the Traun River, with a focus on the satellite town of Auwiesen and the residential complexes of Solar City. From Allende Square to Lunar Square, beyond the inner urban orientation toward concentration, commercial use and entertainment, and at a certain safe distance from the cultural spectacles propagated on all sides, the Festival of Regions is interested in the factual or imagined state of normality in urban life and in seeking out its cultural expression.
The Festival of Regions has been taking place biennially since 1993 at changing locations in the Austrian federal state of Upper Austria and, during this period, has developed into a contemporary focal event for current, site-specific art and culture. At the intersection of art and everyday life, the Festival's projects draw people and places into a critical engagement with social, political and artistic questions.
The Festival of Regions is inviting project proposals from the areas of site-specific art and culture, art in public space, everyday culture, art education, performance and participatory practices for the 2007 festival program.
Who can make a project proposal?
Anyone with an idea on the theme: individual artists or artists collaborating in a team, individuals working in the area of culture and society, scientists, initiatives, associations, NGOs or working groups.
Who will select the projects?
The board and director of the Festival of Regions will make a preliminary selection with the support of an independent international program advisory board. Within this preliminary selection, the festival director will design a program. A decision will be made without the possibility of recourse to legal action. Direct invitations and commissions will round off the program.
Who is organizing the Festival of Regions?
An independent association called the Festival of Regions in cooperation with Linz 2009 – European Capital Of Culture with support mainly from the State of Upper Austria, the Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture, the city of Linz and individual financial sponsors.
The association's board is composed of Susanne Blaimschein, curator and exhibition organizer, Gabriele Heidecker, architecture communicator and cultural worker, Dagmar Höss, artist, curator and art communicator, Eva Immervoll, managing director of the KUPF Cultural Platform Upper Austria and cultural worker, and Gerald Priewasser, artist and designer.
What should the project proposal include?
The project proposal can be submitted in either English or German and should be a maximum of seven pages long.
The Festival of Regions cannot accept any responsibility for the documents submitted. The rejection of a proposal does not give the authors of the project any claim on the Festival of Regions or any other persons acting on behalf of the Festival.
The project proposal can be sent by mail (Din A4) or by e-mail in the preferred format of a Word or a PDF file up to 2 MB. Additional materials cannot be taken into account.

Why do so many people hate on Sonic Unleashed?
... posted a topic in Sonic General
Today's topic, is one of my few unanswered questions. Why do people hate Sonic Unleashed so much? Well, it comes to the "professional" reviewers that had gotten the game in their hands. The most infamous of the reviews is Hilary Goldstein's review of the 360 version of Sonic Unleashed. His final verdict was a 4.5, which is lower than the score IGN gave SONIC '06. After that, many people, mostly Sonic fans were tricked to believe that is was a horrible game nobody should ever play. The main criticism from reviewers and fans alike was the Werehog. Well, yes, it was unfitting for a Sonic game, but it changed the pace well from the speedy daytime stages, and did a good job doing so. Sonic fans complain about useless reasons to criticize the Werehog, and say it ruins the whole game altogether. That's ridiculous. It's like to them they they instantly forgot about the daytime stages, which were amazing. I have no problem with the Werehog at all. It isn't even "slow and boring" as people make it out to be. The Werehog is pretty fast compared to similar brawlers like God of War. Which the Werehog did NOT copy. >_> Most elements, such as a the puzzle solving, and strechy arms mechanics came from Ristar, a game also made by Sega. So yes, you pretty much get my point on the Werehog, I like it, and I see no sense why its bashed so much. Yes, it could have been better, or replaced with Knuckles, because he's more fit for the brawling style. Imagine playing as Sonic only, watching him run through these stages for almost 7-8 hours, with no variety. SEGA only wanted to do something different to give some variety. Another thing on the daytime stages. They do not suck either. They showed some of the best of Sonic's gameplay in the Modern Era. I do agree that the boost was over-prioritized in the game, but it gave you a sense you were Sonic himself running through those stages, giving you a sense of speed and adrenaline. Glitches and bugs are nonexistent, and the controls are fine, I had NO control problems whatsoever, give credit to Hilary Failstein for getting people to believe the game had bad controls. >_> I think the game should have had the boost as only optional, but I would still use it nevertheless, I love the daytime stages and it's gameplay. The next thing is the story, people say it's stupid and too light-hearted. Stupid comment is stupid. The plot was supposed to be lighter than the serious, discombobulated story of Sonic '06. It seems like a Saturday cartoon, and has some humorous parts especially. This game also showed some of the best of Jason Griffith's voice as Sonic. The hub worlds were well though out, and gave you a sense of realism, and exploration in the hubs. Yet people say they were "slow and boring". The hubs were inspired form the Adventure Fields from Sonic Adventure, and people had no problems with those. ._. The story, though lighthearted, but shows an important moral. Though the friend next to your shoulder is gone forever, the friendship that you had with him will never die. I even shed a tear at the ending of the game. The missions in the game still get bashed, even though they are 100% OPTIONAL. It makes no sense how people can see how amazing this game is, and ignore all the "problems" they believe are in there. Sonic is, and always will be my favorite Sonic game, and nothing will change my mind. So yeah, that's my rant. I just needed to let that out.
