Albert Aleksander Üksip (con varias transliteraciones del cirílico Альбе́рт Я́ковлевич Ю́ксип como Albert Jakovlevič Juxip, Albert Jakovlevič Juksip, Albert Jakovlevič Üxip, Albert Aleksander Ueksip (Narva,  – Tallin, 10 de agosto de 1966) fue un botánico, y artista estonio. Desarrolló sus actividades académicas en la Universidad de Tartu, donde se había graduado en 1940.

Biografía
Pertenecía a una familia de sastres. A partir de 1896 estudió en su ciudad, y luego, después de la muerte de su padre (en 1900), trabajó en la fabricación de telas de lino, desde 1907. Soñaba con estudiar botánica, pero se convirtió en un miembro de la compañía de teatro de aficionados de habla rusa, donde recibió la influencia del famoso actor Ivan Arkadin. Su debut en el elenco Yuksipa tuvo lugar en 1905, después de lo cual se vio involucrado en todas las actuaciones de la compañía.

En su tiempo libre, exploraba la flora de la zona de Narva, estudió latín para leer publicaciones botánicas y el francés, para leer sobre arte y literatura de la historia. Regularmente visitaba teatros y museos.

Después de la muerte de su madre (1922), en 1923, Albert se trasladó a Tallin, convirtiéndose en el actor de teatro "Estonia". Desde 1931, dirigió cursos y constantemente escribía artículos sobre el arte. En 1945 le fue concedido el título honorífico de artista homenajeado de la RSS de Estonia.

Después de la fundación de la radio nacional de Estonia, Yuksip transmitía en vivo en el arte.

Aunque Yuksip no tenía educación botánica profesional, sus contribuciones a la ciencia fueron muy significativas. En particular, fue el autor de uno de los volúmenes de "Flora de la URSS" (el Nº 30) describiendo el complejo género Hieracium. Identificó varios cientos de especies nuevas.

Entre 1964-1966, escribió "Memorias". Falleció en 1966, enterrado en el cementerio de Bosque Tallin.

November 1, 1965 – April 25, 1966
Hustle Punch (ハッスルパンチ , Hassuru Panchi) is a Japanese adventure anime series created by Yasuji Mori and produced by Toei Animation. Its 26 episodes were aired on November 1, 1965, to April 25, 1966, on TV Asahi.
Hayao Miyazaki and Yasuo Ōtsuka are credited in this series as animators, while Isao Takahata directed the series' opening.
The plot involves the adventures of three friends, Punch (a bear), Touch (a mouse), and Bun (a weasel), who all live in a scrapyard by themselves. Each episode has the three main characters stop the evil plans of Professor Garigari, a wolf who wants to build his own city over their hometown, including the scrapyard.
Punch (パンチ)
Nobuyo Ōyama (Japanese)
The titular main character. Punch is an orphan bear who is literally hard-headed, making it impossible for him to be hit on the head, much to his advantage. Punch also uses his head to break holes in walls, having to just run into the wall with his head in front and smash through. He may be the oldest of the trio as he is capable of driving a car and even an airplane (though it might attribute more to his size than age since he's also the tallest).
Touch (タッチ)
Yoko Mizugaki (Japanese)
A mouse who is really into fashion and jewelry. Because of her small size, she often sneaks in and out through small spaces, usually to help out Punch and Bun. She even uses her cute charms to get Nu to help her out, mostly whenever she is in Garigari's clutches.
Bun (ブン)
Chiharu Kuri (Japanese)
A weasel who uses a slingshot as a weapon, and is an expert shot. In the English-sub, he is identified as "Boom".
Professor Garigari/Garigari Hakase (ガリガリ博士)
Jōji Yanami (Japanese)
The main antagonist. A wolf. He is a professional inventor who uses his devices to commit crimes such as robbing banks or making counterfeit money. His main goal is to wipe out the city in order to make his own town in honor of his ancestors. He first plans on getting rid of the scrapyard where Punch, Touch, and Bun live, which is why the kids make sure his plans always fail.
Professor Garigari would later reappear a decade later as an antagonist in Toei's third Puss in Boots movie; 長靴をはいた猫 80日間世界一周 Nagagutsu o Haita Neko: Hachijū Nichi-kan Sekaiisshū (Puss in Boots: Around The World in 80 Days) released in 1976.
Black (ブラック)
Hiroshi Ōtake (Japanese)
A black cat who is one of Garigari's henchmen. He often carries around a pistol to threaten the orphans, but he always misses his targets due to his poor shooting skills. This often leads to Bun teasing him, which annoys him.
While Black is very boastful and self-confident, when Garigari is around, he is easily frightened.
Nu (ヌー)
Takuzou Kamiyama (Japanese)
Garigari's other henchmen who is a dimwitted pig. While Nu respects Black and follows Garigari's orders out of fear, sometimes he shows a soft side towards the orphans, especially Touch, who often flatters him into doing something for her and her friends.

Two Minnesotans Tested For Possible Novel Coronavirus
Andy Brownell Published: January 24, 2020
St. Paul, MN (KROC-AM News) - State health officials have submitted samples from two Minnesotans to federal health officials to determine if their respiratory illnesses are being caused by the new coronavirus.
State Epidemiologist Dr. Ruth Lynfield says both patients became ill after traveling to Wuhan, China which is at the center of an outbreak of the novel virus and is among the major cities in China where the government has imposed travel restrictions affecting tens of millions of people. Dr. Lynfield is stressing the virus is not circulating in Minnesota and those at risk are people who have recently traveled to the areas where it is circulating in the community.

The Minnesota patients are currently being kept in home isolation pending the results of testing by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which could take several days. In the event of positive test results, the Minnesota Department of Health will follow up with visits to people who have had contact with the infected person and will notify the general public.
State health officials say lessons learned from past outbreaks of viral illnesses is that identifying and quickly and effectively responding to cases is key. They also note Minnesota has a strong surveillance system in place to deal with emerging illnesses.
While the risk to the general public is low, the health department is advising everyone to take the same precautions taken to fend off common infections. That includes staying home when you are sick, covering your mouth when coughing and frequent good hand washing.

PenHOP's years of dreaming, longing, and praying to have children in the House were finally fulfilled on June 17, 2017. Right from the beginning when our house of prayer was established, we sensed in our spirit that the Lord's desire was to have children in the house, praying and worshipping Him.
And so in mid-June, our doors were flung open to welcome twenty children, aged 4-10, for our first program: "Alive in Me". We believed the Lord was wanting to encounter each of them as the Living God, so they would come alive in their destinies in Christ. And He did! It was a full day's program where there were worship sessions, teaching, games and prayer.
The Lord's presence could be strongly felt in the room throughout the day, during worship and even in times when the children were doing fun activities. The nearness of the Father was so tangible! It was incredibly heart-stirring to watch the children soaring in their spirits in everything that they did with the Lord throughout the day. Jesus said in Matt 19:14 "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." As the children drew near, His presence filled every heart in the room, including the facilitators and helpers.
Each one was taught to recognize that they were created to know their God as their heavenly Father and not just their parents' God. During this session, there were practical activities for the children to help them experience what it means to be children of the living God. The children were also taught to walk in that identity through activities showing each of them that they were made unique and are very precious. They were even activated to pray for the nations! Before we ended the day, each child was shown how to hear God's voice and then draw or write what God had said to them. All of us in the room were so blown away by what they heard and expressed in their drawings.
We are certain that this will not just be a one-time event and we are already talking about doing more with the children. Our desire is that children will be raised up to walk in their identity as sons and daughters of our living God; to witness children growing up in their God-given authority. At a time such as this, when the hour is urgent and the day is getting darker than ever before, we need these children to rise up to be Daniels, Esthers, Deborahs, Samuels, or whoever God is calling them to be. "Alive in Me" was the first big step in our dream to see children growing to be oaks of righteousness that are steadfast and will not be shaken.

PostScript is an interpreted page description programming language. Although it is most commonly used in printers, the language is powerful enough that it can be applied in other ways, such as what you will be doing in your course.
Since the language is interpreted, you will need an interpreter before you can do any real PostScript programming. Fortunately, there exists a public domain implementation called ghostscript. This is installed in the undergraduate lab, and you can access it by typing gs at a shell command prompt. You can also get copies of ghostscript from the ghostscript home page.
Programming in PostScript is very much like programming an HP calculator, so those who are familiar with HP's will have no difficulties getting used to it. At the heart of the issue is an object called a stack. Data can be stored in the stack, operators take their arguments from the stack and they return thier output to the stack. This storing of information doesn't occur randomly - rather data is retrieved from the stack in the reverse order from how it was put on the stack. The model you should have in mind is a stack of plates: you can add plates to the top or take plates from the top. The plate you take from the top is the the last plate that was put on the stack.
The following example shows what the stack looks like during a simple ghostscript session. For it, you will need to know that add takes the last two objects on the stack and places their sum on the stack, mul works similarly, and sqrt takes the last argument from the stack and places its square root on the stack. Also, = removes the last object from the stack and prints it. Next to each command, you will see what the stack looks like after the command is executed. This is not standard ghostscript -- it has been added here to help you see what is happening. The top of the stack (where objects are added to and removed from) is on the left of the list.
You should notice how operators take objects from the stack. The name for this kind of syntax (arguments before operation) is called Reverse Polish Notation, or RPN. Also, at each prompt you can see how deep the stack is on the prompt: GS<3> means that there are three objects on the stack. You can see the entire stack at once with the stack command. This does not remove anything from the stack, unlike the = command. If you just want to see the last object on the stack, and you don't want to loose it, be sure to duplicate it first with the dup command. This creates a copy so that when you give the = command, the copy is removed from the stack, but the original remains. The following example shows how these commands work.

1 The hopping kangaroo is a familiar sight in every snapshot relating to Australia. Members of the kangaroo family can be as small as a rat or as big as a man. Kangaroos are found mainly in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. Kangaroos, which are big-footed marsupials that evolved in Australia, use their short front legs like arms. The man-sized kangaroos of Australia are capable of speeding up to 88 km/hr for short distances, their means of locomotion being their powerful hind legs, which carry them over the ground in jumps of 9 m or more at a time.
2 Weighing around 70 kg, they have an average lifespan of around six to eight years and a maximum lifetime of 20 years. When bothered by predators, kangaroos often head for the water, standing submerged to the chest, and attempting to drown the attacker by holding him under water. Another defensive technique is to get their back to a tree and kick at their adversary with their clawed hind feet, sometimes with sufficient force to kill a man. Normally shy animals, they alert other kangaroos to danger by beating on the ground with their hind feet. This loud alarm signal carries over a long distance.
3 The tail is important for kangaroos. It holds them in balance and supports them when they sit or fight against other kangaroos. The kangaroo uses its short legs as arms. With them it scratches itself, cleans its fur and holds branches when it eats leaves. Kangaroos are marsupials and the females carry newborns in a pouch in front of their abdomens. The babies are born small and climb up into the safety of the pouch. There, for the next 225 days or so, they eat, sleep and grow. Once they reach full development, they leave the pouch. A young kangaroo that leaves the pouch is called a 'joey'. To keep from getting too hot, the kangaroos take naps in the afternoon and do most of their grazing at night. But the best stay-cool secret of these creatures is the spit bath! Kangaroos drool and lick saliva all over their faces and bodies to cool down.

1 It is rare to find someone with good technical and communication skills. You can get far ahead of your colleagues if you combine the two early in your career. People will judge, evaluate, promote or block you based on your communication skills. Since habits form by repeating both good and bad forms of communication, learn to observe great communicators and adopt their styles and traits — in written and verbal forms. The art of listening and learning from each and every interaction, is another secret recipe. Develop the subconscious habit of listening to yourself as you speak and know when to pause.
2 Learning what not to say is probably more important than learning what to say. As your career develops, you will realize that the wise speak less. Speak when you have value to add, else refrain. Poorly constructed emails with grammatical errors are acceptable between friends, but they should be seriously avoided while communicating formally with your seniors. Avoid any communication in an emotional state when you might say things you will regret later. One unnecessary word uttered at the wrong time or place can ruin a relationship, career or even your life. Such is the power of words. If such a thing happens, you should immediately apologise, else it may haunt you for life.
3 Another problem to overcome is speaking too fast. Since our minds are working faster than our speech, we are inclined to speak fast. This does not necessarily mean that the person hearing it will get it any faster. On the contrary, it is always the reverse. So slow down, and think before you speak. ''When I get ready to speak to people,'' Abraham Lincoln said, ''I spend two-thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one-third thinking what I want to say.'' Adding humour and wit is also essential. But realize that not all jokes are funny and observe certain boundaries. Never say anything that could offend. Remember you are not a comedian who must offend as many people as you can to be witty.
(a) Why is it necessary to have good communication skills ?
(b) How can communication skills be developed ?
(c) What, according to the writer, should be avoided while communicating ?
(d) Why should you be careful when you tend to be humorous ?

One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been the invention of computers. They are widely used in industries and in universities. Now there is hardly any sphere of human life where computers have not been pressed into service of man. We are heading fast towards the day when a computer will be as much part of man's daily life as a telephone or a calculator.
Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated work in all branches of learning. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put thousands of unrelated facts in order. These machines can be put to varied uses. For instance, they can provide information on the best way to prevent traffic jams. This whole process by which machines can be used to work for us has been called 'automation'. In the future 'automation' may enable human beings to enjoy more leisure than they do today. The coming of automation is bound to have important social consequences.
Some years ago an expert on automation, Sir Leon Bagrit, pointed out that it was a mistake to believe that these machines could 'think'. There is no possibility that human beings will be "controlled by machines". Though computers are capable of learning from their mistakes and improving on their performance, they need detailed instructions from human beings to operate. They can never, as it were, lead independent lives or "rule the world" by making decisions of their own.
Sir Leon said that in future, computers would be developed which would be small enough to carry in the pocket. Ordinary people would then be able to use them to obtain valuable information. Computers could be plugged into a national network and be used like radios. For instance, people going on holiday could be informed about weather conditions. Car drivers can be given alternative routes when there are traffic jams. It will also be possible to make tiny translating machines. This will enable people who do not share a common language to talk to each other without any difficulty or to read foreign publications.
(1) Why does a person become overconfident ? The reason lies in over assessment of his capabilities. Sometimes people over assess their competence and jump into situations that are beyond their control.
(2) Napoleon Bonaparte who became Emperor of France would say that the word 'impossible' was common only amongst fools. The overconfident Napoleon invaded Russia in the winter of 1812. This proved to be a big disaster.
(3) Overconfidence generally leads people into misadventures, endangering their chances in life. It is wisely said that, any achievement is a result of two factor sone's personal planning and support from the external world. People, take into account only their planning, generally ignoring external factors. They become unable to foresee future developments. Hence the great risk of failure.
(5) Overconfidence is a flaw characterizing people who lack the virtue of modesty. Modesty makes you a realist; you become a person who is cut down to size. People of this kind become very cautious; before taking an action they assess the whole situation. They adopt a realistic approach.
(6) Overconfident people live within their own thoughts. They know themselves but they are unaware of others. Living inside their own cell they are unable to make use of the experiences of others. This kind of habit is highly damaging to all concerned.
(7) There is a saying that the young man sees the rule and the old man sees the exception. With a slight change, I would like to say that the overconfident person sees the rule and the confident person sees the exception. Overconfident people are always at risk. It is said that taking risk is good but it must be well calculated otherwise it becomes very dangerous.

Why does a person become overconfident? The reason lies in over assessment of his capabilities. Sometimes people over assess their competence and jump into situations that are beyond their control.
Napoleon Bonaparte who became Emperor of France would say that the word 'impossible' was common only amongst fools. The overconfident Napoleon invaded Russia in the winter of 1812. This proved to be a big disaster.
Overconfidence generally leads people into misadventures, endangering their chances in life. It is wisely said that any achievement is a result of two factors- one's personal planning and support from the external world. People, take into account only their planning, generally ignoring external factors. They become unable to foresee future developments. Hence, the great risk of failure.
Then there is the question : how can one manage overconfidence? The formula is very simple. Before taking a decision discuss the matter with other informed people with an objective mind and when it is proved that you are about to go off the path, accept reality and say without delay, "I was wrong.
Overconfidence is a flaw characterizing people who lack the virtue of modesty. Modesty makes you a realist; you become a person who is cut down to size. People of this kind become very cautious; before taking an action they assess the whole situation. They adopt a realistic approach.

Home Electric Bikes Giant Trance X Review: Computer Controlled | 2021 Field Test
Giant Trance X Review: Computer Controlled | 2021 Field Test
– It's weird like you push down on it. If it's just on level ground
and you push down on it, you're like, it's my shit locked out? What's going on? You're like, did I forget to
leave my suspension locked out? But that's not how it works. (upbeat music) – Hey everyone, I'm Mike Levy and welcome back to
another Field Test video. This time around, we're
talking about Giant's Trance X. It's 135 millimeter travel
bike, with 150 millimeter fork. And Giant says," It's the
one trail bike to do it all." We're gonna talk about
suspension first, as always, and the Trance X's 145
millimeters of travel. It's controlled by the Maestro
dual link suspension design.
It's a co-rotating system, both
the links rotate clockwise, and it's been around for
a very long time now. But there's something new
here, adjustable geometry. The adjustment range
is pretty wide as well. Whereas some of these bikes
offer just a third of a degree, or three or four millimeters of bottom bracket height change, Giant gives you 0.7 degrees of adjustment for the head and seat angle, and 10 millimeters of bottom
bracket height change.
Giant says that the Maestro's
dual link suspension creates a virtual pivot
point somewhere around here, and that it's independent of
breaking and peddling forces, the Holy Grail. The shock is a metric trunnion mount, of course, as are most of these days and the lower shock mount
actually does double duty as the rocker links main
pivot and the shock pole, thereby saving some weight. This is the Trance X Advanced pro 29 0.
Long name, it's the highest-end model and it comes with Fox's
live valve suspension. That's computer controlled suspension, that adds low speed compression
damping automatically. Now we're gonna talk
all about that later on, so stay tuned for that. The name's been around since 2005, but of course, this is
the longest, slackest and probably the lightest version ever. It's carbon fiber everywhere
including the upper link, everywhere except that lower
rocker link which is aluminum. Now all that adds up to a weight that Giant says, is just
2,100 grams with the shock.
Now that's almost half the weight of the Actofive P-Train frame, now to be fair, that's
a steel fund triangle and it's made in pretty small numbers, but it's still much lighter
than some of the others. Now like a lot of companies, Giant has some fancy sounding names to describe some of the
things they've done here, but the gist is, big tubes,
mean lower weight and less flex. Now you're gonna find that everywhere, especially down at the bottom bracket where you'll also find a 92
millimeter wide press fit shell. That's where you're also find, a set of ISCG chain guide tabs, and Giant has done a good job
with frame protection as well.
There's a thick pad
underneath the down tube, and on top of the chain stay. There's internal cable routing,
but it's not passed through. So I definitely wanna point that out where most of these other trail bikes on the new carbon frames, you could push the cable in, and it comes through the other side. You don't have to lose your temper, you don't even have to throw any tools. With the Giant, you're gonna
have to do a little bit of fishing to get it out. Onto the geometry, I'm five foot 10, and this is a large size Trance X, with a 486 millimeter reach. Now it has that adjustable geometry, that we talked about earlier, and that gives it a
65.4 degree head angle, and 76.2 degree seat angle. The carbon fiber Trance X's,
well they start at $4,300 and there's a few to choose from. And if you want the fanciest
model, it's this one behind me, it's $8,500 and that gets
you carbon wheels from Giant, Fox's live valve suspension, and an XTR drive train. That's enough about
the parts and geometry, let's talk about setup, and then how the new Trance
X rides out on the trails.
(upbeat music) Let's get through set up. We installed our control tires, of course, and that's a minion
upfront, inflated at 21 PSI and a dissector in the
back, inflated to 23 PSI. The exact same as all
the other trail bikes here at the Field Test. Now
this bike, as I mentioned, it comes with Fox's live valve suspension. Interesting note, it comes
with a placeholder battery, that looks just like the real battery. So I spent about 20 minutes
trying to turn it on, until I realized that it had
just a fake battery on it. I'm not so good at this tech stuff. So once you've got your battery in there, it's pretty much just the same
as a normal suspension setup after you've selected
your live valve mode. You still need to pump it up
to the correct air pressure, and select your rebound and low speed compression setting on the fork. (upbeat music) So what does all that fancy stuff do for you when you hit the climb? Well it turns the Trance X
and do a fricking rocket ship.
This bike had the fastest
climb by a long way. We're gonna get to our
climbing times in a bit, but that's the gist of it. Live valve takes what is essentially a 30-ish pound trail bike, and turned it into something
that feels like a 24 or 25 pound almost cross-country bike. It's extremely efficient, but what it doesn't
have is that locked out, feeling that a, well, a lockout has. Lockouts don't let the suspension move, and that's not the case here.
And of course, live valve
acts a little bit differently on the climbs than it does on the descent or when the bike is in the air. There's sensors on the
fork and at the rear axle that know what angle the bike is at. So it gives you a firmer feeling when you're climbing up the hill, but it's still not that
super locked out feeling that a race bike would have. What I'm trying to say
with all that is live valve doesn't give you that
firmly locked out feel that a race bike does where it feels like no matter what bump you hit, the suspension, ain't moving. That's not the case here. The rear wheel can still move and it's not entirely
an active feeling bike, like a something with DW link where you wouldn't lock it out at all, but in the end of the day, it makes something that's
extremely fast and sporty feeling.
So we know the Giant is efficient as hell, but let's talk about handling. Now for this, the Trance
X definitely leans more towards that classic trail bike feel, more towards the Ibis and the specialized, in something like the P-Train
or the longer travel Salsa. In those tight sections,
the Giant can easily be steered around or through
any sort of rudy or rocky mess. And it really lets you pick
your lines as you're going, whereas on a bigger
travel slacker trail bike, you're basically just saying, "All right, I'm gonna keep
pedaling and see where I get. I know what you're saying,
Levy, I climb to the top of the mountain on my
big travel trail bike, and I don't dab it all." And that's true, the
Salsa and the P-Train, they get to the top of the
hill without me dabbing, even in the tricky spots, but it just feels like less work on a bike like the Trance X, than it does on those
more forgiving bikes. (upbeat music) When I first got the Trance X, I rode it on its own for four, five days, and not back-to-back
against the other bikes.
And in most places, the
suspension felt just fine. Maybe a little bit
unforgiving here and there, but mostly just fine. But it's a different story when we started doing some back-to-back riding. When the ground was
really rough and choppy, or traction was questionable
in those settings, when I was riding the
bikes back-to-back-to-back, there was a fairly noticeable difference in suspension performance
between live valve, and traditional suspension from Fox. Now keep in mind those
other bikes have higher-end, piggyback shocks or the
higher-end grip to damper. And what it felt like
is basically the bike was getting knocked around a bit more, and I had less traction. You could see it on
video in some sections, where the rear of the
bike would be sliding when I didn't want it to, or even the front of the bike. Overall, it felt a little
bit less consistent, and definitely a bit rougher
and with a bit less traction. Now, part of that difference
is suspension performance, when you're descending might
come down to the fork spec. When you get live valve suspension, well live valve only pairs
with the FIT4 fork damper.
Truth be told when you get the Trance X on less demanding terrain, and doesn't have to be a pure flow trail, it could still be full of roots and rocks, the Giant can be a lot of fun. And this is a bike that
really rewards a rider who likes to dip and dive
and play around on the trail. Where the Salsa and the P-Train, are more for you straight
liners out there, who are just trying to
go as fast as possible, the Giant, well, it's
more of like the Ibis and the specialized.
It rewards somebody who thinks
about their line choice more and is more interactive with the trail. (upbeat music) Let's talk about timing first. And our climb was a mix of
smooth single track at the bottom that went into some
pretty tricky, slow stuff, full of roots and rocks at the top. The Giant had the fastest
time by 19 seconds over the Ibis Mojo, and it definitely felt
like that on the trail. This thing feels like an absolute
rocket ship on the way up. That's a different story
on the way back down. The Giant had these slowest time, seven seconds behind the Mojo. And to be honest, it was
a little bit slippery, and I didn't have a ton of
confidence in the traction. (upbeat music) Let's go over what I
liked about components and a big standout for me again, is this Shimano Drive train. It's hyper glide plus
and I've said it before, and I'm probably gonna
say it a whole bunch more in the near future, you
could shift under load, like never before.
And that comes in handy
on all sorts of climbs, especially technical ones. The other thing I wanna talk about, it's the Fox live valve suspension, and I'm done moaning
about it at least for now, because the upside is that it
creates an incredible climber. If you want a trail bike to go
extremely fast up the climbs. If you're the kind of rider who times yourself up all the climbs, if you care about that sort of stuff, if you're into fitness, well, you're gonna be in the live valve.
All right, let's talk about
the stuff I didn't like. And I'm gonna bring up
live valve suspension again, of course. Well, it makes the bike
an incredible climber, it also makes the
suspension feel quite rough on the descents. I'd equate it to feeling
something like the rear tire has 35 PSI in it, as opposed
to being in the low 20's. To be fair our trails
are quite complicated. They're full of roots and rocks
and things get even worse, or better when it gets wet. Traction is very on,
off and live valve here, well, it makes the bike feel quite rough. But having said that if
you live, I don't know, almost anywhere else in the world that doesn't have super rudy rocky trails. I have a feeling that live
valve won't feel nearly as questionable as it
did here in Squamish. Now when I asked Giant's
thoughts about this, they told me to keep in mind
that the Trance Nameplate indicates this bike
should be equally adept at climbing as it is descending.
For Giant, this translates
into 50% climbing, 50% descending proficiency. It needs to accomplish both tasks equally. If riders are more focused on
pure descending capability, our Enduro-focused reign
29 range is skewed 60/40 toward the descending experience. (upbeat music) Time for pros and cons
and the first one here, if you're looking for a trail
bike to cover a lot of ground, that doesn't have to do double duty on some pretty sketchy terrain, well, the Trance X trail bike
might be the one for you.
The other thing with this
live valve suspension, it's extremely fast and efficient. And if you're into the tech, it's hard to not get excited
about some of this stuff. (upbeat music) Let's talk about cons, and I'm gonna bring up the packaging of live valve suspension. Now this is not entirely all Giants fault. Fox's live valve suspension
requires wires to work, the sensor at the back and the front, it's all connected to the microprocessor, and then you got this battery up there. The whole thing is just, well, it's not very well
integrated into the frame. And along those same lines, there's no frame storage
integration here on the Trance X. While you have specialized
and trek out there with holes in their down tubes, that I think they could
fit Anthony Massari in their down tubes, Giant, well, they don't have
any way to carry anything.
And not only that, the
internal cable routing, isn't tube in tube. It's all internal, but just
rattling around in there. (upbeat music) Let's be honest here, unlike
some trail bikes out there, the new Trance X is not
pretending to be an Enduro bike. And Giant's decision to spec
electronically controlled suspension for increased
pedaling performance, definitely tells you what
the bike is meant for. And none of that is gonna make
it the cool bike to have out, of our field test group of trail rigs.
So why would you have the Trance X? Well to cover a ton of ground, of course. It's live valve suspension
means that it's incredibly fast and efficient on that sort of terrain. So while it might not be
forgiving on the rough descents, as bikes like the specialized or the Ibis, or especially the Salsa and P-Train, is a great choice for someone
who's more fitness focused and wants to do a ton of miles. That's it for Giant's all new Trance X. Let us know what you think
about it in the comments below, and make sure to subscribe, so you don't miss any
field test video reviews, and round table discussions
where I argue with Kazimer. (upbeat music).

Effective Saturday, April 13, 2019, the WGA implemented a Code of Conduct for talent agencies seeking to represent WGA members. You can read the Code of Conduct here. In order to represent WGA members an agency must agree to these terms.
Yes, you will do so as part of a collective action by WGA members. The Guild has prepared a standard termination letter, available here for you to sign electronically. The letter both helps fulfil your obligation under Working Rule 23 and protects you legally in the case of any future commission dispute. It will not go to your agency the moment you sign it. Instead, the Guild will deliver the letters in groups. The first batch was sent on April 22nd. You can inform your individual agent as well if you like, and encourage them to sign the Code of Conduct.
Yes, all Current members represented by a non-franchised agency are required to sign the termination letter. Our goal in implementing the Code of Conduct is to ensure that agencies' interests are aligned with writers. For our collective action to be effective, elected leadership has decided members must terminate in writing and be on record with the Guild as doing so.
Am I prohibited from contact with my agent now that the Code has been implemented and Working Rule 23 is in effect?
You can contact your former agency to discuss payments and enforcement of deals that closed prior to April 13, 2019. But again, you cannot discuss new projects or new deals. You can ask them in writing to provide you or the representative of your choice information regarding pending deals (those in process but not yet closed), contact information, or inquiries they receive from studios or producers. You can also talk with them about personal matters or about signing the Code of Conduct.
Producing by TV writer-producers has been covered in the MBA since 1973 (Articles 1 and 14). Those provisions specifically say that producing services are deemed part of writing when performed by writer-producers. Thus, when an agent makes a deal for a hyphenate in television—usually an overall deal or a series contract for a per episode fee—the writer-producer services are deemed covered under the MBA. An agent can't represent only the producing duties.
For a theatrical writer who is also hired as a producer on the same project, the same rules apply. A non-franchised agency cannot represent you on a theatrical project where you would be a writer and producer.
Thus, under Working Rule 23 non-franchised agents cannot represent WGA writers with respect to these hyphenate services, and a member who has historically been employed as a hyphenate cannot avoid the Guild's jurisdiction by re-labeling a contract as a producer-only deal.
The working rule doesn't cover other producing. Of course, anything additional a member is willing to do to support the goal of eliminating agency conflicts of interest will help the campaign.
The new Code of Conduct does not prevent any deal that is in the process of being made from being completed, but not by an agency that is no longer franchised, even if they have already started the negotiation. Completion of the deal can be handled by a lawyer, manager, or franchised agent. If you need contact on potential deal information, ask your former agent in writing to send you and/or the representatives of your choice: the agency is obligated to provide it. Contact the Agency Department if you need assistance.
You will continue to pay your agent commission under any deals negotiated prior to the termination of your representation agreement with the agency. This may include limited circumstances where an agreement was under negotiation but not finalized until after you left the agency. However, if they only set up meetings and no offer had been made, it's unlikely that commission would be owed. The former agency may also be entitled to commission where a contract is renewed after termination or where the employer exercises an option for additional services. The rules in this area are technical and the answers are almost always fact-specific. Please contact the Agency Department to discuss your specific circumstance.
Once you leave an agency, you should no longer allow them to work on your behalf. Tell the agent to stop. You can also tell them that if they want to represent you they should sign the Code of Conduct. If you think an agency is commissioning you incorrectly, please contact the Agency Department.
If you have a manager and/or a lawyer, it should be business as usual. Managers and lawyers will be able to negotiate contracts for staffing, development, or sale of materials. If you don't have a manager or lawyer, the offer can go to you. Before you leave every meeting, make sure the executive, producer, or showrunner has your contact information. And after the offer comes in, you can find a lawyer to negotiate with Business Affairs by asking other writers for recommendations. If you are having trouble finding an attorney, or would like the Guild to review terms, contact the Agency Department.
As a matter of practice, managers and sometimes attorneys already get work for clients. In addition, as the exclusive bargaining representative for writers, the Guild has the right under federal law to delegate authority to other representatives, and on a temporary basis has now delegated that authority to managers and attorneys. Here is the link to the delegation letter. If your manager or attorney refuses to work for you in this time, you should consider finding another representative or contact the Agency Department.
I'm represented by an agency for both writing and another area of work not covered by the Guild (stand-up performance, acting, directing, writing plays, etc.). Is it mandatory that I leave the agent for my non-Guild-covered work?
If you are seeking Guild-covered animation work, you must be represented by a franchised agency. Keep in mind that most primetime animation and growing number of other animated projects are Guild-covered, especially on streaming platforms. While we encourage you to be represented by a franchised agency for all your work, if an animation project is covered by another union, Working Rule 23 does not apply. For assistance getting your animation project covered, please contact the Organizing Department.
Working Rules do not apply to non-members. In the present campaign, the Board of Directors has elected to apply Working Rule 23 only to Current members. See the Working Rules here. However, once you become a Current member you will need to terminate representation by any non-franchised agent.
Your former agency is legally required to keep sending you your money. If you'd prefer to revoke that consent and direct your payments elsewhere, contact the Agency Department.
If your contract specifies that the notice of tentative writing credits is sent to the agent who negotiated your deal, that agent has an ongoing fiduciary obligation to forward that credit notice to you, even if you have terminated the agency as your representative. Members should be especially vigilant and watch out for credit notices from the studio as well as from your former agency. If you have concerns, please contact the Credits Department.
For assistance, West members can contact Corri Freedman and East members can contact Ann Burdick.
If you are interested in finding a manager and/or attorney, ask your fellow writers about their experiences and for recommendations. If you get an offer and are having trouble finding a new attorney to negotiate the deal you can also contact the Guild. If you need an attorney to review a deal memo or contract, the Guild can provide that service: contact the Agency Department.
And here is a link to Guild resources to assist writers without agents.
Here are the Working Rule 23 Implementation Rules. While individual members have a voice and vote, after the Guild decides on collective action members are obligated to follow Guild rules, which will be enforced. The WGA membership and leadership have ratified this course of action and the membership has a proud history of unity and solidarity. Article X of the WGAW and WGAE Constitutions guides Guild disciplinary procedures. You can contact Agency Agreement if you have questions.

Q: openCV's EMD-L1 algorithm computes distances that are zeroes In the following code, I have two histograms, that for this simple example, I hard-coded in the source.

First offshore coal pier launched by Taipower's plant
Taipei, Jan. 30 (CNA) Taiwan's first offshore coal-unloading pier, built by the Hsinta thermal power plant of Taiwan Power Co.
(Taipower) at a cost at NT$8.4 billion (US$263 million), was put into operation last December, Taipower said Saturday.
Imported coal can be discharged at the coal-unloading facility off the Kaohsiung coast and then be transported inland via a closed conveyor system, which can sharply decrease pollution risks and transportation costs.
The Hsinta power plant, the second largest thermal power plant in Taiwan, consumes 5.5 million tons of coal per year. It used to ship in coal on a 10,000-ton barge from a coal storage yard in Dalin, a method that heightened the risk of supply instability.
By cutting shipping costs and adding supply stability, the offshore coal-unloading pier can improve the competitiveness of the Hsinta power plant and help Taipower enhance the quality of its power supply.
The Hsinta power plant was chosen as the "Best Environmental Performance Power Plant of the Year" in 2008 from among 50 power plants in Asia.
The construction of the pier started in 2003 and was completed in June 2009.

Calcite Stone is precious stones found naturally in nature and have a great visual appearance in terms of appearance. The share of this stone is that its appearance is quite stylish and its benefits are quite high.
These precious stones are formed by the combination of calciums and carbonate, as well as forming a crystal shape. Another name in the folk language of calcite stone is limestone. The issue of calcite stone being called as lime stone is that it dates back to Ancient Greece. These precious stones have quite a variety of colors. In addition to this, the colors they have, too bright and too bright, they are able to draw attention to them quite a lot.
Carbonated rocks and metamorphic rocks in the form of compounds continue to form. Many minerals and substances surround this precious stone. If we count these substances, it would not be wrong to say that hydrothermals, calcites and minerals are related to carbonates.
Some calcitonin stones are found in nature in a transparent form and colorless. These transparent and colourless species are similar to the sky generation in terms of image due to their exposure to blue, green, red and yellow minerals on them. This is how it turns out, it's a great piece of work. Hardness level of each gemstone is also present in these stones. But the hardness of these calcite stones is so low that it has a very soft texture. Even as a result of the rubbing of the small knives that we will carry with us from the simplest side, they are likely to be drawn on these precious stones in an easy diagram.
The people who examined the calcite stone carefully, as they noticed, have double-line shapes on them. We can also say that the structure and shape of this precious stone resembles the oyster living in the sea.
The shells of sea animals contain calcite minerals, as evidenced by these and other events. We said that the hardness of this precious stone is very low. Because the hardness grade is quite low, these calcite stones can not be used in jewelry construction, unlike gems used in jewelry. But it is common to use these calcite stones as ornaments.
Where to Use the Calcite Stones After They Are Tightly Grinded ?
In the dental pastes we use to make our teeth look healthier, in the manufacture of chalks which are used in schools and in various kinds of works, in paint capsules which we use for dyeing a house or any place, in paper we have used in notebooks or books, in plastic products used in cleaning articles, Even in their food, we benefit from micro-organisms by grinding calcite stone.
What Are The Benefits Of Calcite Stones ?
• The degree of fatigue increases gradually thanks to the energy that is consumed during the daily life of the person. That's the way it's supposed to be. A person who is sluggish cannot benefit both himself and his environment. As a result of the use of calcite stones in these cases, more robust and strong energy transfer is made to replace the low energy in the human. In addition, there are moments when energy is low in the rooms or lounges inside your own home without having to go away in a guesthouse you have visited. By placing these calcite stones at certain points of your house, you can destroy the negative energies in the room or Hall and load the positive energies instead.
• The person is very tired as a result of the situation and movements made during the day. This fatigue also causes a person to be depressed and stress-free. In such distressed situations, the person will not benefit himself or his / her environment, but the motivation to do harm will be enabled. This is undesirable. If the stone is too large to pass on its own, it may cause severe pain, which is called renal colic.
• In these cases, both the employees are bored and the employers are bored. It has been observed that people carrying these precious stones and continuing to use them continue their work without being bored or tired even at work. In other words, it is known that it contributes to the way of giving suggestions to the person in a positive way, to reset the person and to become more useful.
• The human body consists of many systems. The circulatory system is a collection of organs, organs, and systems. One or more of these systems is a slowdown in the entire human body is completely disrupted occurs. This condition causes a person to feel sluggish and eventually become sick. The most common type of stone contains calcium in combination with either oxalate or phosphate.
• People who buy calcite stones or other valuable stones need to believe that they will bring spiritual benefits to the stones they have purchased, the most important thing they need to know. Because people who want to benefit from these stones have to be strong in their beliefs. Of course, the issue that should be considered by the purchasers of precious stones will not coincide with the fake stones.
• There are a lot of people who are awake who make unjust gains by throwing fake stones from sticky dust on them, making them look like precious stones. In addition to being alerted by sprinkled with dust, they try to paint the fake stones on them according to the color of the precious stones they found and try to show the fake stone as the original stone. People who want to encounter such distressed situations should do a thorough research about the people or institutions that sell valuable stones they will buy. As a result of the research, I suggest that you shop in safe places.
