Scorpion's Spear in Mortal Kombat 11 is a Key Item you can find in the Krypt mode. It is necessary to find, because the MK 11 Krypt Scorpion's Spear allows you to open certain gates, as well as get crafting materials by dragging corpses towards you. So, you really want to get Scorpion's Spear in the Krypt as soon as possible. That being the case, welcome to our Mortal Kombat 11 Scorpion's Spear Location in Krypt – How to Open Gate guide, where we'll show you exactly where to find and how to get Scorpion's spear, as well as how to use it.
Mortal Kombat 11 Scorpion's Spear Location in Krypt – How to Open Gate
Where to Find Scorpion's Spear in Mortal Kombat 11 Krypt?
To find Scorpion's Spear in MK11 Krypt, you have to open the door to Goro's Lair. For that, you have to get the Cracked Horn of Motaro, and, before that, the Gem of the Living. Go into Goro's Lair; head down the stairs to the right, then go left and into the elevator. Pull the lever to go one level below.
Proceed forward until you come across (SPOILERS) the desiccated corpse of none other than Goro. Yes, it is very weird to see Goro so definitively dead. Head to the right, and through the passageway leading to the left, behind Goro's throne. At the dead end, head right, towards the gate. Pull the chain on the left, and you'll see Scorpion's Spear at the far end of the room, glowing with fire.
How to Use Scorpion's Spear in MK11 Krypt – How to Open Gate?
To use Scorpion's Spear in the Mortal Kombat 11 Krypt and open the gate barring your way back, you have to hit Triangle (or whatever the button is on your platform) when prompted. The first chance to use it is, as I've already said, is right there in the room where you've found the spear. Just above the gate that just closed on you, there's a fire pot. Approach it and hit the button the game tells you to. That will open the gate, and you can go on your way.
There are several other fire pots that you can use Scorpion's Spear to open the gates. Plus, you can also use the spear to draw the corpses randomly strewn around towards you, thereby earning crafting materials.

Similarly, we could try applying Nick Bostrom's reversal test and ask ourselves, how would we react to a virus which had no effect but to eliminate sleep from alternating nights and double sleep in the intervening nights? We would probably grouch about it for a while and then adapt to our new hedonistic lifestyle of partying or working hard. On the other hand, imagine the virus had the effect of eliminating normal sleep but instead, every 2 minutes, a person would fall asleep for a minute. This would be disastrous! Besides the most immediate problems like safely driving vehicles, how would anything get done? You would hold a meeting and at any point, a third of the participants would be asleep. If the virus made it instead 2 hours on, one hour off, that would be better but still problematic: there would be constant interruptions. And so on, until we reach our present state of 16 hours on, 8 hours off. Given that we rejected all the earlier buffer sizes, one wonders if 16:8 can be defended as uniquely suited to circumstances. Is that optimal? It may be, given the synchronization with the night-day cycle, but I wonder; rush hour alone stands as an argument against synchronized sleep - wouldn't our infrastructure would be much cheaper if it only had to handle the average daily load rather than cope with the projected peak loads? Might not a longer cycle be better? The longer the day, the less we are interrupted by sleep; it's a hoary cliche about programmers that they prefer to work in long sustained marathons during long nights rather than sprint occasionally during a distraction-filled day, to the point where some famously adopt a 28 hour day (which evenly divides a week into 6 days). Are there other occupations which would benefit from a 20 hour waking period? Or 24 hour waking period? We might not know because without chemical assistance, circadian rhythms would overpower anyone attempting such schedules. It certainly would be nice if one had long time chunks in which could read a challenging book in one sitting, without heroic arrangements.↩
The first night I was eating some coconut oil, I did my n-backing past 11 PM; normally that damages my scores, but instead I got 66/66/75/88/77% (▁▁▂▇▃) on D4B and did not feel mentally exhausted by the end. The next day, I performed well on the Cambridge mental rotations test. An anecdote, of course, and it may be due to the vitamin D I simultaneously started. Or another day, I was slumped under apathy after a promising start to the day; a dose of fish & coconut oil, and 1 last vitamin D, and I was back to feeling chipper and optimist. Unfortunately I haven't been testing out coconut oil & vitamin D separately, so who knows which is to thank. But still interesting.
The above are all reasons to expect that even if I do excellent single-subject design self-experiments, there will still be the old problem of internal validity versus external validity: an experiment may be wrong or erroneous or unlucky in some way (lack of internal validity) or be right but not matter to anyone else (lack of external validity). For example, alcohol makes me sad & depressed; I could run the perfect blind randomized experiment for hundreds of trials and be extremely sure that alcohol makes me less happy, but would that prove that alcohol makes everyone sad or unhappy? Of course not, and as far as I know, for a lot of people alcohol has the opposite effect. So my hypothetical alcohol experiment might have tremendous internal validity (it does prove that I am sadder after inebriating), and zero external validity (someone who has never tried alcohol learns nothing about whether they will be depressed after imbibing). Keep this in mind if you are minded to take the experiments too seriously.
Powders are good for experimenting with (easy to vary doses and mix), but not so good for regular taking. I use OO gel capsules with a Capsule Machine: it's hard to beat $20, it works, it's not that messy after practice, and it's not too bad to do 100 pills. However, I once did 3kg of piracetam + my other powders, and doing that nearly burned me out on ever using capsules again. If you're going to do that much, something more automated is a serious question! (What actually wound up infuriating me the most was when capsules would stick in either the bottom or top try - requiring you to very gingerly pull and twist them out, lest the two halves slip and spill powder - or when the two halves wouldn't lock and you had to join them by hand. In contrast: loading the gel caps could be done automatically without looking, after some experience.)
Do you start your day with a cup (or two, or three) of coffee? It tastes delicious, but it's also jump-starting your brain because of its caffeine content. Caffeine is definitely a nootropic substance—it's a mild stimulant that can alleviate fatigue and improve concentration, according to the Mayo Clinic. Current research shows that coffee drinkers don't suffer any ill effects from drinking up to about four cups of coffee per day. Caffeine is also found in tea, soda, and energy drinks. Not too surprisingly, it's also in many of the nootropic supplements that are being marketed to people looking for a mental boost. Take a look at these 7 genius brain boosters to try in the morning.
Either way, if more and more people use these types of stimulants, there may be a risk that we will find ourselves in an ever-expanding neurological arm's race, argues philosophy professor Nicole Vincent. But is this necessarily a bad thing? No, says Farahany, who sees the improvement in cognitive functioning as a social good that we should pursue. Better brain functioning would result in societal benefits, she argues, "like economic gains or even reducing dangerous errors."
As professionals and aging baby boomers alike become more interested in enhancing their own brain power (either to achieve more in a workday or to stave off cognitive decline), a huge market has sprung up for nonprescription nootropic supplements. These products don't convince Sahakian: "As a clinician scientist, I am interested in evidence-based cognitive enhancement," she says. "Many companies produce supplements, but few, if any, have double-blind, placebo-controlled studies to show that these supplements are cognitive enhancers." Plus, supplements aren't regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so consumers don't have that assurance as to exactly what they are getting. Check out these 15 memory exercises proven to keep your brain sharp.
That is, perhaps light of the right wavelength can indeed save the brain some energy by making it easier to generate ATP. Would 15 minutes of LLLT create enough ATP to make any meaningful difference, which could possibly cause the claimed benefits? The problem here is like that of the famous blood-glucose theory of willpower - while the brain does indeed use up more glucose while active, high activity uses up very small quantities of glucose/energy which doesn't seem like enough to justify a mental mechanism like weak willpower.↩
Took pill 1:27 PM. At 2 my hunger gets the best of me (despite my usual tea drinking and caffeine+piracetam pills) and I eat a large lunch. This makes me suspicious it was placebo - on the previous days I had noted a considerable appetite-suppressant effect. 5:25 PM: I don't feel unusually tired, but nothing special about my productivity. 8 PM; no longer so sure. Read and excerpted a fair bit of research I had been putting off since the morning. After putting away all the laundry at 10, still feeling active, I check. It was Adderall. I can't claim this one either way. By 9 or 10 I had begun to wonder whether it was really Adderall, but I didn't feel confident saying it was; my feeling could be fairly described as 50%.
Elaborating on why the psychological side effects of testosterone injection are individual dependent: Not everyone get the same amount of motivation and increased goal seeking from the steroid and most people do not experience periods of chronic avolition. Another psychological effect is a potentially drastic increase in aggression which in turn can have negative social consequences. In the case of counterfactual Wedrifid he gets a net improvement in social consequences. He has observed that aggression and anger are a prompt for increased ruthless self-interested goal seeking. Ruthless self-interested goal seeking involves actually bothering to pay attention to social politics. People like people who do social politics well. Most particularly it prevents acting on contempt which is what Wedrifid finds prompts the most hostility and resentment in others. Point is, what is a sanity promoting change in one person may not be in another.
Null results are generally less likely to be published. Consistent with the operation of such a bias in the present literature, the null results found in our survey were invariably included in articles reporting the results of multiple tasks or multiple measures of a single task; published single-task studies with exclusively behavioral measures all found enhancement. This suggests that some single-task studies with null results have gone unreported. The present mixed results are consistent with those of other recent reviews that included data from normal subjects, using more limited sets of tasks or medications (Advokat, 2010; Chamberlain et al., 2010; Repantis, Schlattmann, Laisney, & Heuser, 2010).
The soft gels are very small; one needs to be a bit careful - Vitamin D is fat-soluble and overdose starts in the range of 70,000 IU35, so it would take at least 14 pills, and it's unclear where problems start with chronic use. Vitamin D, like many supplements, follows a U-shaped response curve (see also Melamed et al 2008 and Durup et al 2012) - too much can be quite as bad as too little. Too little, though, is likely very bad. The previously cited studies with high acute doses worked out to <1,000 IU a day, so they may reassure us about the risks of a large acute dose but not tell us much about smaller chronic doses; the mortality increases due to too-high blood levels begin at ~140nmol/l and reading anecdotes online suggest that 5k IU daily doses tend to put people well below that (around 70-100nmol/l). I probably should get a blood test to be sure, but I have something of a needle phobia.
Known widely as 'Brahmi,' the Bacopa Monnieri or Water Hyssop, is a small herb native to India that finds mention in various Ayurvedic texts for being the best natural cognitive enhancer. It has been used traditionally for memory enhancement, asthma, epilepsy and improving mood and attention of people over 65. It is known to be one of the best brain supplement in the world.
In nootropic stacks, it's almost always used as a counterbalance to activating ingredients like caffeine. L-Theanine, in combination with caffeine, increases alertness, reaction time, and general attention [40, 41]. At the same time, it reduces possible headaches and removes the jitteriness caused by caffeine [42]. It takes the edge of other nootropic compounds.
As it happens, these are areas I am distinctly lacking in. When I first began reading about testosterone I had no particular reason to think it might be an issue for me, but it increasingly sounded plausible, an aunt independently suggested I might be deficient, a biological uncle turned out to be severely deficient with levels around 90 ng/dl (where the normal range for 20-49yo males is 249-839), and finally my blood test in August 2013 revealed that my actual level was 305 ng/dl; inasmuch as I was 25 and not 49, this is a tad low.
Stimulants are the smart drugs most familiar to people, starting with widely-used psychostimulants caffeine and nicotine, and the more ill-reputed subclass of amphetamines. Stimulant drugs generally function as smart drugs in the sense that they promote general wakefulness and put the brain and body "on alert" in a ready-to-go state. Basically, any drug whose effects reduce drowsiness will increase the functional IQ, so long as the user isn't so over-stimulated they're shaking or driven to distraction.
I can't try either of the products myself – I am pregnant and my doctor doesn't recommend it – but my husband agrees to. He describes the effect of the Nootrobox product as like having a cup of coffee but not feeling as jittery. "I had a very productive day, but I don't know if that was why," he says. His Nootroo experience ends after one capsule. He gets a headache, which he is convinced is related, and refuses to take more. "It is just not a beginner friendly cocktail," offers Noehr.
I bought 500g of piracetam (Examine.com; FDA adverse events) from Smart Powders (piracetam is one of the cheapest nootropics and SP was one of the cheapest suppliers; the others were much more expensive as of October 2010), and I've tried it out for several days (started on 7 September 2009, and used it steadily up to mid-December). I've varied my dose from 3 grams to 12 grams (at least, I think the little scoop measures in grams), taking them in my tea or bitter fruit juice. Cranberry worked the best, although orange juice masks the taste pretty well; I also accidentally learned that piracetam stings horribly when I got some on a cat scratch. 3 grams (alone) didn't seem to do much of anything while 12 grams gave me a nasty headache. I also ate 2 or 3 eggs a day.
I've been actively benefitting from nootropics since 1997, when I was struggling with cognitive performance and ordered almost $1000 worth of smart drugs from Europe (the only place where you could get them at the time). I remember opening the unmarked brown package and wondering whether the pharmaceuticals and natural substances would really enhance my brain.

On the picture to the left the bond wire is shown as a horizontal line on the right side above the carrier. The cathode (-) is marked by a bevel at the left of the housing socket. The cathode connection of brand-new LEDs is shorter (standard rule: cathode = short). In most of the LEDs the reflector is the cathode, there is also a standard rule: the technical current direction is "indicated" by the arrow built by the electrode's form (see picture to the right). Attention: in rare cases the configuration is just the other way round ! High-power LEDs are operated with higher power. This requires a higher performance in the heat elimination, expressed in specific construction types. The heat can either be carried off via the feeders, or the power is supplied via two bond wires and the heat is eliminated through a separated reflecting tub. The industrial processing of THD (through-hole-device) LEDs is complex and expensive. LEDs are therefore also produced in SMD (surface-mounted-device) housings.
An additional possibility is the direct "bonding" of the LED chip on a circular board (chip on board – COB). Multicolor light diodes consist of several (2 or 3) diodes in one housing. The version with 2 connections has 2 LEDs in opposite directions connected in parallel. Depending on the polarity the one or the other diode is emitting light. An alternating voltage excites both diodes and produces an overlapping color.


That would make them a virtual clone of the patriots.
And we already get called Patriots south form obvious reasons.
I would mind if they did that. All I want is for them to switch to red as a primary.
Probably best seller right up there with the color rush. But why make a game jersey if he'll never wear it. Browns players always wear orange during public appearances, but it's always a replica.
Two major obstacles to that: 1) First and only Super Bowl win was in the current set. 2) Change away from the silver was done under Paul Allen. I'm afraid it might be seen as a slight to him now that he's passed. But, for an alternate, twice a year... I think that could work.
Used it at one time used.
Two major obstacles to that: 1) First and only Super Bowl win was in the current set.
Don't think that's actually much of an obstacle, since plenty of other teams have won and then moved away from their Super Bowl-winning look. Certainly didn't stop the Bucs from throwing theirs away. Or, for that matter, the Jets. The Dolphins and 49ers made significant changes to their winning looks. Even the Packers and Steelers, teams we think of as uber-traditional, made changes to the uniforms they wore in championship games.
It largely depends on what you do after a championship contender period. If it was one title followed by a long stretch of mediocrity, then it makes a bit of sense to change it up. The Buccaneers fall into that category, as do the Jets and Dolphins. The Steelers and Packers did a mixture of trend-chasing and tweaking, while the Niners were pure trend-chasing while fading from the competitive radar.
It largely depends on what you do after a championship contender period. If it was one title followed by a long stretch of mediocrity, then it makes a bit of sense to change it up.
Just as it does whenever there is a long period of mediocrity without a championship. Because winning a single Super Bowl doesn't actually influence the staying power of a uniform set.
They just need to be a color that was used in their history, the Texans franchise never used Columbia/luvya/titan blue, so they wouldn't be allowed to wear it for a color rush.
I'd imagine that uniform has red socks, but you could get away with blue IF they had striping.
The case for a red helmet is pretty strong considering a professional team in the same state does it.
Ah sorry, thinner pants and jersey stripes, smaller helmets, huge number replaced by huge lettering... big difference!
Right but the Seahawks have continued to be a playoff team, no real dip yet.
In reality though, I feel the Paul Allen death would be the biggest obstacle for at least the next 3-5 years (especially since his sister now owns the team). He changed the uniforms shortly after buying the team, to change back may seem like a slight. Kind of "you're gone so now we can go back to our look". Just me?

Q: Creating a checkbox java list i am trying to generate a checkbox list feeded by some records from a database just like the image (JAVA Swing), initially i tried with several chexkboxes but it didn't work, now i am trying with a multiple selection list but it didn't work as well and none of the answered questions here looks like to solve the specific needs i have.
Specifications:

*

*Multiple selection list.

*Every node of the list must have a checkbox object.

*When checked every node must stay highlighted.

*It must have an scrollbar if the content is bigger to the initially setted dimentions.

A:
It must have an scrollbar if the content is bigger to the initially set dimensions.

Put the JList inside a JScrollPane.

When checked every node must stay highlighted.

This is going to confuse the user.  The check marks are sufficient.

Every node of the list must have a check box object.

You'll have to extend a JList and a ListCellRenderer to gain this functionality.  The ListSelectionListener that I have is over 100 lines of code.
You might find an already existing check box JList on the web.  I have one in a book.

Planes, trains or automobiles? What is your favorite way to travel 500 miles?
There is something special about a train journey! but these days its more the anticipation than the experience! If they are not late, they are overcrowded and smelly because the toilets broken!
1. The plane: but you miss so much scenery. Don't like the part of having to arrive early at the airport though. Still you can still do some work while waiting and flying.
2. The car: I love driving, but not if you hit a traffic jam. You can experience some scenary, but it can be more tiring and stressful. And you can't get any work done – really!
3. The train – the most expensive way of doing the journey to be honest. But you can get some work done and can see the countryside as you go.
Like your reply…covering all bases. And you're right, there's something to be said for all 3 modes of transportation. I've traveled extensively by plane since my daughter lives 3,000 miles from my husband and me. So while I'm grateful for airplanes, I still find sitting in uncomfortable seats for 5 or more hours a real pain…everywhere.
Agree about cars: love being able to throw everything in and not be subject to strip searches at the airport. But sometimes traffic can be overwhelming.
Trains- I take a commuter line to NYC and am grateful it exists. In this country there aren't enough cross country trains. If we're ever going to become less oil reliant, we need to adopt the ways of our European and Asian brothers and sisters- – high speed rail, etc.
Planes– hate breathing in that air. I try not to think about being up in the sky. But it gets the job done most of the time.
also— haven't ridden my bike 500 miles, but that would be an amazing journey!
Give me a car any day. I love looking out the window, watching the scenery as the car is moving along, taking in the landscape, the hills, valleys, snow, rainbows, sunset, sunrise, all depending on the time of day the journey is taking place.
Give me a car journey any day above the train and plain.
If I could always fly First Class or Business Class, I'd choose a plane anytime. But coach travel…not so much. Riding the Orient Express is my idea of a train ride, not commuting on the Long Island Railroad or New Haven Line. Traveling by car is the only way I know I can make a "pit stop" anytime I like…unless hubby decides we have to stick to the time schedule.
Train, definitely, train:) There's no better way to go the distance, relax, enjoy the scenery and have to good reading time.
Plane…I like the view from above plus my back would bother me if I drive that far.
I will not enjoy traveling in car for 500 miles. I would rather in the near future travel by train,or plane which will be a new adventure for me.
But you miss so much! I guess it really depends on how much of a hurry your in, but in a plane you don't see any scenery….
Planes goes on 500 miles.
For myself I like airplanesnbecause you can get to a place in less than one hour with little delay,but I especially like cars because althouth you have. To pay attention to the. Road,you can see such beautiful landscapes across these great states we have,even time to stop to get to know new people.
mmm.. planes is my definite favorite though i never really travel using trains so .. maybe it might be fun to try and travel by train sometime.

blast holes in the steady drone of traffic.
on fashionable women who walk past me.
But never come close to the lovely ladies.
This is only a small part of what I enjoyed in the class. To explain, I have to make a small digression. Some weeks ago I went to the Carnegie Museum of Art to a space they called "The Sandbox" filled with "photo books" that are actually for sale. I looked at all of the books and understood very little of what I was seeing. The curator/salesperson kept asking me if I had questions. I think slowly of late, and couldn't even begin to frame my questions. The books contained photos that may or may not have been taken by their author/editor/curator and meant nothing to me. She showed me a book she had compiled, telling me the photos were "vernacular." That meant they were taken from a collection, made by someone else, over a period of 25 years. She got permission from the owner to put them in "her book," which was bound professionally. I told her I made books and she gave me a look that said 'aren't you a sweet, little old lady.' So, I am an old lady, not necessarily sweet, and I was confused. All of this was absolutely meaningless to me.
Back to the class: four weeks of food for thought about meaningful art, often beautiful, certainly significant. My artist friends are not here in Pittsburgh and I don't often have a chance to participate in this kind of stimulating conversation. In the first class, Leslie, who is a print maker, talked about artists as acivists and also about her own work, which has dealt with feminism and slavery amongst other themes and ideas.
In the second class, Ben Sota, the founder of the Zany Umbrella Circus, talked about his passion for circus and how his presentations in other countries have generated thoughts about freedom in his audience.
Amanda Gross, who inspired my poetry, showed us her beautiful work and talked to us about her huge community organizing project called knit the bridge, which brought people together from all over Pittsburgh. This last class tied together all of the ideas about making meaningful, beautiful art and banished the despair I felt in the Sandbox.
Yona is grandma on Wednesday. She put me on the train to TA and went to her brood. I went, first to Museum Haaretz, museum of the land, where I saw two excellent exhibits. Israelis are amazing in their support of the arts and there is a thriving contemporary art scene here, especially considering the country is the size of New Jersey with about the same population. The first exhibit was unusual things made of paper: creased, folded, rolled, cut, shaped, made into books and made out of books. Very inventive.
The second exhibit was fiber art, again unusual creations all made by Israeli artists. The variety almost equaled Fiber Arts International in Pittsburgh, which draws entries from all over the world.
I had lunch in the museum cafe, tuna Nicoise, a nice change from all the hummus and other salads. From there I went to the Tel Aviv Art Museum, which was not as interesting to me but I was getting very tired. There is some contemporary photo and video shows, lots of 18th and 19th C. painting, and a display of miniature rooms. I have to find out more about them as a 19th C. interest. The knee finally got me. It bothers me less, but is still stiff and painful at times.
I got back on the train then took a taxi to Yona's son's home and got to see all three kids along with the brown and white dog who shed all over my black jacket. We then had a light supper in a Japanese restaurant.
My last day here is perhaps the most interesting. I'll write when I get home. I leave at midnight tonight.
Tomorrow we go back to our real lives. No more walks along the beach; no more discussions about our art work; no more meals waiting for us and all of the wonderful camaraderie. My week in Door County is always one of the best of the year.
Today was beautiful after two days of rain, but I only got a couple of short walks along the beach. Wet sand penetrated my shoes so I took a few pictures of the geese and went back. I love walking along the beach hunting the treasure of dead fish and small pieces of driftwood. Years ago, playing on the beach at Lake Michigan was an entirely different experience, with clean sand and warm bodies on blankets soaking up the sun. Here, about 250 miles to the north and 65 years later on Lake Michigan, zebra mussel shells, seaweed, dead fish, driftwood and a couple of helium balloons cover the beach.
I haven't done much artwork, but I can't wait to get home and work on the dead fish.
Early for my meeting with Neill the next day, I went to look at places I recall living in. First on Harding Ave: I don't remember the address, but it was a 2 story building with concrete stairs across the street from a large gravel covered field that fronted Volta School. I remember this vividly because of the many times I fell on my knees on the gravel and went around for weeks with infected, scabby knees. The field has been chopped in half and a building covers the half nearest my house, but I can't find the house. I've tried looking on Google maps and came up with nothing. It's 73 years;why do I think it would remain unchanged. I went on to the next place, a 2-story building with four apartments. The building had changed for the better, all cleaned and painted. I don't know who lives in the neighborhood, but it looks great. The playground next to the house is fenced in and looks clean. Only one surprise, the synagogue my parents and grandmother attended, and where I went to Hebrew school and which subsequently became a Korean church, a huge beautiful building, has been torn down and is now a parking lot. The last place I lived, the house I loved, looks good, the neighborhood looks good, marred only by an enormous, unfinished, totally our of place castle that fronts on the highway and dwarfs all the nearby houses. Built on every square inch of land it has remained unfinished and up for sale for several years.
Lunch with Neill and a little more nostalgia then dinner with Betty. My days have been filled with lunches and dinners and breakfast with Eli and Hannah on Saturday. Sunday I walked and breakfasted on Marilyn and Arnie, then met artist friends at an exhibit. Monday morning we drove to Door County for our yearly art camp.
Drove to Chicago last Tuesday. Getting ready on Monday I gave some thought to food for the car. My worst fear about this drive is that I might fall asleep. I've found it helpful to have something to nibble on and I try to get things that are not fattening or unhealthy. Deciding I had enough, with mushrooms, carrots and a box of peanut butter Puffins, I did not go out and shop, although I really wanted fruit. After all, I told myself, I'm not going to the end of the world, but the truth is the turnpike might as well be nowhere. Finally got bananas a week later.
Spent the night in a motel near Toledo. Chicago is really a one day drive from Pittsburgh, but I've been breaking it up to make sure I don't get too tired. I stopped at the art museum in Cleveland, which has finally reopened their Japanese and Korean galleries. Very nice, but not nearly enough on display.
The next day I stopped in Elkhart, Indiana and toured an old house called Ruthmere. It was named after a child who died before the age of one and is situated near the conjunction of two rivers, known as a mere. The house was not nearly as interesting as the story about it. Those two days were very hot, I think the warmest days we've had all summer. I wanted to stop at a big flea market in Indiana, but didn't think I could tolerate the heat and sunshine. Picked up Charna at her job and we had dinner with Barbara and Fred. The next morning we went out to Waldheim Cemetery to visit her namesake.

New Star Wars movies announced – including Rogue Squadron for 2023
By Samuel Roberts 10 December 2020

In a bumper presentation at the Disney Investor Day livestream, Disney just confirmed some new Star Wars movies. The big news is that Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins is making a theatrical movie called Rogue Squadron, which will release in late 2023.
Jenkins tweeted out the news, along with a video explaining her reasoning for taking on this particular job.

Rogue Squadron will focus on the fighter pilots of the legendary squadron, who were previously the subject of a popular book series in the pre-Disney days of Star Wars. This Rogue Squadron, though, is composed of new pilots trying to make their mark in a 'future era' of the Star Wars galaxy.
In addition, Lucasfilm discussed Taika Waititi's previously announced Star Wars movie, which doesn't seem to have a release date yet. Jenkins' Rogue Squadron, then, will be the next theatrical release in a galaxy far, far away.
Another new film called A Droid Story is being made – this one is exclusively for Disney Plus. It's a collaboration between Lucasfilm's animation team and Industrial Light and Magic, and focuses on R2-D2 and C-3PO. It's about the droids taking on a secret mission that only they know about, and teaming up with a new (as-yet-unnamed) hero.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for Star Wars content announced today. On the TV show front, we learned about a new 'event' series around Lando Calrissian, as well as a series called The Acolyte from Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland. We also learned about Star Wars: Visions, a series of short animated films from Japanese creators.
Liking The Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney Plus? Good news: there will be two Mandalorian spin-offs: Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic. So, Star Wars is only going to get bigger in the next few years – especially on Disney Plus.

Some Code:
IList<IDictionary<string, object>> mData = new List<IDictionary<string, object>>();
AddFiles(files, mData); // Which just new Dictionary with filedata and icon from a list of files.
SimpleAdapter fileAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, mData,
            Resource.Layout.FileDialogRow,
            new string[] { FileKey, FileImage },
            new int[] { Resource.Id.fdrowname, Resource.Id.fdrowimage }
        );
ListAdapter = fileAdapter;
Log.Debug("Left OnCreate");

Anyone else have an issue when using SimpleAdapter on Mono for Android? Or have any clues to what happens here??

A: Instead of using List I think you will need to use JavaList. Like:
var mData = new JavaList<IDictionary<string, object>>();

There is a long explanation it this thread: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/SimpleAdapter-break-in-4-2-1-td5709793.html
I you are going to use more complex things in your list I suggest implementing your own Adapter, which is a lot easier to maintain and debug in the end.

The American neo-conservatives predicted the 21st century would be a «New American Century». Instead, it is becoming a «New Chinese Century»
Sun 1:15 pm +00:00, 25 Jun 2017 1
WAYNE MADSEN | 25.06.2017 | OPINION
The «World's Policeman» Retires on Disability
Ever since the end of World War II, the United States, rightly or wrongly, but most of the time, wrongly, has fancied itself as the «world's policeman». Even a disastrous and costly military intervention in Southeast Asia did not deter the United States from acting as the chief arbiter of what governments were «in» and which were «out» as evidenced by Central Intelligence Agency interloping in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Angola, Haiti, and Colombia. Two military interventions in Iraq and a U.S.-led military campaign directed against Yugoslavia were not enough to pry the United States from its self-appointed role as the chief «global cop». In fact, American neoconservatives continued to fanaticize about the United States leading the world into a post-Cold War «new American century».
The United States under Donald Trump now resembles a disabled policeman who was forced to retire on disability after being injured, not in the line of duty, but by engaging in self-destructive piques of bravado. The United States has abandoned internationalism as witnessed by Washington's withdrawal from the free trade Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Paris climate agreement. The United Kingdom's decision to depart the European Union in the Brexit referendum has put the final nail in the coffin of Britain's status as a minor «superpower».
Until another nation steps forward to claim the title of chief world cop, the world will be subjected, as coined by the New Testament's Book of Matthew, to «wars and rumors of wars».
Arising from a combination of Donald Trump's tweets and outbursts about subjects ranging from Qatar to Taiwan and NATO to Palestine, old border disputes and diplomatic rivalries are beginning to flare up. The Trump administration also appears to be unwilling to fill a number of vacancies in the State Department, a development that has added to a de facto American hands-off approach to many simmering international disputes.
Trump's siding with the Saudi Arabian-led bloc of Arab and Muslim nations in its confrontation with Qatar has resulted in Trump's Saudi and other Gulf allies demanding that Qatar close down Al Jazeera and other media operations in Doha that are out of favor with Qatar's neighbor oligarchic potentates. The Saudi-contrived demands of Qatar's government, in return for a lifting of Saudi and United Arab Emirates sanctions against Doha, amount to nothing less than total political and economic subjugation of Qatar by Saudi Arabia, which is akin to Saudi Arabia's de facto colonization of Bahrain. In the past, the United States would have simply ordered the Saud regime to cease and desist in making threats against neighboring countries. Saudi action against Qatar has had wide-ranging effects in the region, which include renewed border tensions between Qatar and Bahrain over some largely uninhabited islands, as well as between Eritrea and Djibouti, on whose border Qatar had provided a peacekeeping force.
In 2001, the International Court of Justice awarded many of the disputed Hawar Islands, which lie closer to Qatar than to Bahrain, to the Bahrainis. As a consolation prize, the world court awarded Janan Island to Qatar. The decision never sat well with Qatar. As the Bahrainis were announcing a mega-development project for the largely-uninhabited Hawar Islands, the pro-Saudi press in the Middle East began writing stories about Qatari intelligence operations directed against Bahrain. Press items included the interest shown by Qatari intelligence in the military deployments and readiness of Bahraini forces stationed in the Hawar Islands.
After Eritrea and Djibouti sided with Saudi Arabia in its diplomatic dispute with Qatar, Qatari peacekeeping troops were withdrawn from the Eritrean-Dijbouti border. The result was Eritrean troops quickly occupying the Doumeira mountain border area, which is claimed by Djibouti. The border dispute between Eritrea and Djibouti began in 2008, when Eritrean troops occupied the Doumeira mountain and dug in. Qatar sent some 450 peacekeepers to patrol the disputed zone in 2010. With their hasty departure, the border has become a renewed flash point in the volatile Horn of Africa.
Although the African Union got involved in the border dispute, the U.S. State Department, once a nexus for geopolitical status quo enthusiasts, remained quiet. It is unusual for the State Department not to comment on such border disputes. Not only does the United States maintain the large U.S. Central Command airbase at Al-Udeid in Qatar, but it also has a major military presence at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti.
China, the power that is eclipsing the United States in international importance as an arbiter of disputes, is building a military base in Djibouti. It is also establishing a maritime port in Gwadar in Pakistan, from which it can deploy naval forces to the Persian Gulf.
Elsewhere in Africa, a border dispute over Lake Nyasa has erupted after a 50-year dormancy between Malawi and Tanzania. A dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria over the Bakassi Peninsula also shows signs of re-erupting. At issue are natural gas deposits under Lake Nyasa and oil in the Bakassi region. Sudan and Egypt are, once again, bickering over control of the Halayeb triangle border region, currently under Egyptian control.
Two NATO allies, Croatia and Slovenia, are awaiting a decision by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague on its decision in a border dispute. Croatia has accused the Slovenians of conspiring with the judges. Croatia also likely distrusts the United States and its Slovenian-born First Lady Melania Trump for possibly influencing the court's decision in favor of Slovenia. Mrs. Trump's parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, have visited the White House and they are in a perfect position to deliver to President Trump, «personal» messages from the Slovenian government. The court's decision is expected on June 29, 2017.
The United Kingdom's exit from the European Union has re-triggered sovereignty issues between Britain and Spain over Gibraltar and Britain and Argentina over the Falkland Islands and Dependencies and British Antarctic Territory. Britain also saw a stinging rebuke over its treatment of the Chagos Islanders in its unilaterally-created British Indian Ocean Territory. In the late 1960's, the people of the Chagos Islands, which include the island of Diego Garcia, were deported from the islands to Mauritius and Seychelles to make way for a U.S. military base on Diego Garcia. In a 94 to 15 vote, the United Nations General Assembly ordered the case of the legal status of the Chagos Islands to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. If the court rules against Britain, the United States will have to make a new long-term lease deal with Mauritius, the original legal administrator of the Chagos Islands, to keep the base at Diego Garcia.
In the UN vote, Britain's soon-to-be-former European Union allies abstained. The United Kingdom, backed by the Trump administration, saw NATO and EU members France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia, and Greece abstain. Canada, a «Five Eyes» intelligence partner of the United States and Britain, also abstained. Voting with the United States and Britain and against Mauritius were a collection of countries that are nothing more than beggars for U.S. and British military aid: Afghanistan, Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Israel, Lithuania, Montenegro, and South Korea, in addition to the other Five Eyes spy partners Australia and New Zealand. The Maldives no vote is based on a competing claim for the Chagos Islands by Maldives, which views Diego Garcia and the 64 other islands as the southern part of the Maldives chain. Mauritius claims sole sovereignty over the same islands. The eclipse of U.S. and British dominance in the Indian Ocean sets the stage for several conflicts over islands and sea beds.
The «Trump Effect» of a diminished U.S. role in international affairs is also being felt in South America, where Ecuador has irritated Peru by building a Trump-style border wall on its frontier with its neighbor to the east and south. Peru claims the wall is illegal because it violates a 1998 agreement prohibiting border construction within 33 feet from the border. Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has also prompted Botswana to start construction on an electrified fence along its border with Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's Deputy Home Minister Obedingwa Mguni lashed out at Botswana's decision, telling the Zimbabwe press: «We should not copy the United States of America's idea of putting a border wall on its border with Mexico when we are actually one people who are related».
There are other long-simmering border disputes and secessionist movements emerging from «cold» status to hot conflicts in Asia, the Arctic, the Pacific region, and the Caribbean. As U.S. State Department dominance fades, in addition to Halayeb, Bakassi, and Chagos, the world will soon see headlines concerning flashpoints having other unfamiliar names – Ladakh, Baltistan, Riau, Otong Java, Rotuma, Chuuk, Pemba, the Rif, Cabinda, and Oduduwa – and those with more familiar names – Biafra, Zanzibar, Scotland, and Catalonia.
The American neo-conservatives predicted the 21st century would be a «New American Century». Instead, it is becoming a «New Chinese Century», with the United States still believing, wrongly, that it is the «leader of the free world» and a «super power». As Mao Zedong once stated, the United States is a «paper tiger». And Mao had another prediction: «The day will come when the paper tigers will be wiped out». That day is now upon us.

This is just too adorable ... there is a horizontal 2-1/2" acrylic tube filled with tiny bells for lots of motion and there are two colorful aluminum bells on each end for added ringing pleasure! Hung from a nickel plated welded chain and topped with a quick link for easy hanging. Viola! Lots of action, lots of motion, lots of fun for the little tweets in your house!


A lovely cottage near the centre of Tideswell. Plenty of room for two but perhaps tight for four dining. A pleasant surprise was cupboard space to unpack our groceries. Heating was good and the separate conservatory great for enjoying the evening sun. A covered back entrance is handy for muddy boots when you come back from your walk. Not really suitable for anyone with mobility problems because of the stairs.
The cottage is well equiped , the lounge comfortable and quick to heat and the bed very comfortable! The bath is a good size and the shower nice and powerful. The cottage enjoys a sunshine trap conservatory up the steps in the patio area which we enjoyed at the end of the day. We took two labradors and they soon adapted to going up the short flight of steps to the patio and gravel area which has a recently planted border. Mostly they slept in their baskets, tired out from the long walks we went on from the cottage itself. Nice not to always have to take the car out. Parking was easy. Tideswell is a great place, quiet yet lively with pubs, chip shops, co- op, cafes, bakery and sandwich shops and more, making "catering" easy and convenient after a day out walking. We and the dogs, enjoyed several evenings in the Horse and Jockey pub with its welcoming staff, food and quiz night. We loved this cottage and we loved Tideswell and will definitely return.
We found it very comfortable for two but a family of four would manage. Fairly steep stairs and steps between bedroom and bathroom. We were able to park very close all the time. Good village centre location with amenities close to hand.
Great location, surrounding area fantastic for walking, running or cycling.
What a find!! We immediately felt at home in this cosy dog friendly cottage. Centrally located in the lovely village of Tideswell, it was so well equipped with a lovely living room, dining kitchen and 2 bedrooms. Only staying over the weekend, we didn't really have time to sit out in the conservatory, but it looked a lovely place to relax with a book. Whenever we are in the area again we will certainly rebook.
We felt immediately at home. How refreshing to go somewhere where they appreciate that your dog is on holiday too. This cottage had throws for the furniture in the living room and a bowl of dog biscuits in the kitchen! All in all the facilities were good, parking is easy, it's located centrally in the village and you can walk from the door or drive out to some fabulous walks. We will certainly return.
Tideswell has all the facilities you need and there are good walks into beautiful countryside on the doorstep.
! In the centre of the lovely village of tideswell. We had a wonderful stay in this cottage, very comfortable and nicely decorated, everything you need is provided. Would highly recommend!
The location is great, not only because it is in the centre of Tideswell which is a nice little town with all the facilities you need, but also because it is surrounded by a beautiful landscape where you can enjoy nice walks.
Positioned at the end of a stone terrace, lined with plant pots and hanging baskets, is this accommodating holiday cottage within the Peak District National Park.
Set just off from the main street, and with access to the chocolate-box towns of Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth, this semi-detached property welcomes couples, families and friends to enjoy a relaxing stay.
Meander down the lane and enter into the lounge where a woodburning stove keeps the room toasty and warm, uplifted by pastel, sage green walls and comfy arm chairs.
Next, the kitchen offers wooden worktops and grey painted units making good use of the space.
The modern family-friendly fittings are there to assist your well-earned holiday break.
Head up the plush, carpeted staircase where a double bedroom awaits, accompanied by a bathroom finished with clean white fixtures and a heated towel rail.
The twin beds live in the eaves of the attic room where natural light seeps in through the roof.
To the exterior, follow the shared passageway to find a utility housing a washer/dryer and bike storage.
Walk along the path and up a set of steps to the patio, where you can laze around on a sunny afternoon, or read a book quietly in the sun room.
A lovely spot of down time is just what you need after an adventure in the Peak District.
Excellent walking with rugged peaks lie just north of this delightful town, with gentle hills and open valleys resting south.
Mam tor offers a circular walk with dramatic scenery, whilst Castleton provides a lovely afternoon exploring Peveril Castle and Peak Cavern.
This fabulous region is well worth a visit, with this lovely cottage as a base.


Planets with locations of interest worth visiting (novelty bases, unusual sights, special kinds of flora or fauna, etc).
Base Description Base is still under construction. The expansion of the room takes a bit more. And there should still be some of the important resources. Just as the name of the planet says, I'm all alone in the system.
Notes The base is quite big. The game must reload segments while walking.

Zidane, it is clear for his future!
After the soap opera Noël Le Graët, Lionel Charbonnier spoke about the situation of Zinedine Zidane, and his future as a coach. And it is unlikely that he will ever join Paris Saint-Germain.
The Noël Le Graët affair, if he probably pushed the president of the FFF towards retirement, did not change things for Zinedine Zidane. With Didier Deschamps' contract extension, the former number 10 of the Blues must give up on the prospect of becoming coach of the France team, at least in the short term.
A year and a half after leaving Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane is going through a pivotal period in his coaching career, according to Lionel Charbonnier. "He is at a turning point, believes the 1998 world champion on RMC. If you leave Real, it's not to train Guéméné-Penfaou. He is obliged to take an extraordinary team, at the minimum height of PSG for example, which he refused because he wanted the French team. »
Taken up by Jérôme Rothen, who reminded him that no Parisian leader had contacted Zinedine Zidane or his entourage, Lionel Charbonnier clarified his remarks concerning PSG. "He was not contacted directly, but everyone knew that if Zizou moved the slightest ear, PSG would go straight on the track"he assured.
🗣 "We talked about it personally. He always said that to train you needed personal ties. There are not 50 clubs."
🎙 Zinédine Zidane at a turning point in his coaching career: you agree with @liocharbo ? pic.twitter.com/gzmdIXitOO
— Rothen s'enflamme (@Rothensenflamme) January 13, 2023
No personal ties with PSG
Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that Zinedine Zidane is still on the market. And looking for an opportunity to pursue his career as a technician. "He cannot afford to wait (the France team), he is at a turning point, repeats Lionel Charbonnier. He has to cross it. Because five years without training is not possible. »
And for its future, the tracks are not numerous, but some emerge. " What does he have to do ? Should he take a club worthy of what he had? England, he will not go. Not against, there is Italy. He can take a club where he has ties, Confie « Charbo ». Zizou always told me, we talked about it personally. He has always said that to coach you need personal ties. It was something he told me about PSG. There are not 50 clubs. »

Бранденбургское епископство ( или Dioecesis Brandenburgensis, ) — римско-католическая (с 1530 года лютеранская) епархия, созданная королём Оттоном I в 948 году к востоку от Эльбы на территории Саксонской Восточной марки Восточно-Франкского королевства. С 968 году в составе архиепархии-митрополии Магдебурга.

Княжество-епископство Бранденбург () появилось в период с 1161 по 1165 годы и было секуляризировано Бранденбургом в 1571 году. Из-за соседства с маркграфством Бранденбург в одном городе, епископству не удавалось получить контроль над значительной территорией. Собор с домом капитула, окружённые другими церковными учреждениями и постройками, были расположены на так называемом Соборном острове (), имевшем экстерриториальный статус (, букв. «соборная свобода»). Только после 1928 года этот район был официально присоединён к городу.

История
Зимой 928 года Генрих I, правитель Восточно-Франкского королевства, захватил одну из основных крепостей славян на Эльбе — Бранибор. На её месте Оттоном I, стремящимся христианизировать земли полабских славян (венды) с целью их присоединения к королевству, было основано Бранденбургское епископство. Основополагающий документ епархии датирован 1 октября 948 года, хотя некоторые исследователи сомневаются в точности этой даты. Так, например, хронист Титмар Мерзебургский упоминает в качестве времени основания 938 год. Согласно «Саксонскому анналисту» епископство было основано в 949 году. Так же епископство могло образоваться в ходе разделения Саксонской Восточной и появления марки Северной Саксонии после смерти маркграфа Геро I в 965 году.

Первоначально Бранденбургское епископство было включено в состав архиепархии-митрополии Майнца, в 968 году было передано под протекцию Магдебургского. Во время Славянского восстания 983 года, епископства восточнее Эльбы (Бранденбургское и Хафельбергское) были разграблены и уничтожены лютичами. Бранденбургские епископы продолжали назначаться, но были титулярными, проживали в Макдебурге или выполняли роль ауксилиариев на западе империи. Только спустя более 200 лет, после окончательного подчинения венедов маркграфом Альбрехтом Бранденбу́ргским в XII веке, епархия была восстановлена немецкими переселенцами.

Виггар, Бранденбургский епископ с 1138 по 1160 годы и приверженец Норберта Ксантенского, стал первым Бранденбургских епископов из ордена Премонстрантов. Им были заложены и построены премонстрантский монастырь в Лейцкау (сейчас это территория города Гоммерн в Саксонии-Анхальт), ставший временной кафедрой епархии, и, по просьбе стодорянского князя Прибыслава-Генриха, в славянском поселении  церковь святого Петра (сейчас это  в современном Бранденбурге-на-Хафеле, находится в районе ). В 1147 году Виггор вместе с епископами Фридрихом Магдебургским и Ансельмом Хафельбергским принимал участие в крестовом походе против язычников, проживающих на севере (ободриты и вагры).

В 1161 году преемник Вигора, епископ Уильям (1160—1173), организовал переезд кафедры епархии и строительство монастырского комплекса с резиденцией епископа на Соборном острове (современный район ), где в 1165 году на фундаменте крепости Бранибор началось строительство Кафедрального , который существует до сих пор и называется «колыбелью Бранденбурга». Включение в орден Премонстрантов было официально подтверждено папой Климентом III в 1188 году.

Помимо резиденции на Соборном острове Бранденбургские епископы имели дополнительные: в замке Циезар в Циезаре и  в . С 1216 по 1265 годы основным местом жительства епископа и административными центром епархии был замок Прицербе, а с 1327 года — Циезар. При необходимости возвращения в Бранденбург и проведения каких-либо религиозных церемоний, епископы справляли их в церкви Святого Годехарда, выполнявшей функции кафедрального собора, пока не был завершён собор Петра и Павла.

Княжество-епископство

Реформация
На 1500 год епархия Бранденбургского епископства простиралась на большую часть Миттельмарка (территория Бранденбургской марки между Эльбой и Одрой)), части Магдебургского архиепископства, Анхальта, Саксен-Виттенберга и всё княжество-епископство Бранденбург. Епархия насчитывала около 18 штаб-квартир (резиденций) с более чем 285 церквями.

Известно, что в 1517 году Мартин Лютер отправил копии своих тезисов архиепископу Майнца и Иерониму Шульцу, епископу Бранденбурга (1507—1520), но центром реформации Бранденбург не стал. Первым лютеранским епископом стал Матиас фон Ягов (с 1526 по 1544 годы), бывший сторонником протестантской реформации и ставший одним из самых влиятельных людей при дворе курфюрста Бранденбурга Иоахима II Гогенцоллерна. В 1560 году большая часть церковного имущества епископства, включая замок Циезар, которые были переданы регенту Иоганну Георгу, сыну Иоахима II и будущему курфюрсту Бранденбурга. Секуляризация официально завершилась в 1571 году, хотя ещё некоторое время (до 1598 года) длилось судебное разбирательство, чтобы подтвердить имперский статус княжеского епископства в пределах империи, тем самым сохранив епархию.

So your cat is safe when travelling, please use a carrier to transport your cat. The best type of cat carrier is the inexpensive hard-sided carriers that open from the top and from the front. An easily opened top allows a cat which is fearful, anxious or in pain to be gently lifted from the carrier. It should be easy for you to carry and should be secured in the car to keep your cat safe. Please allow enough time to get your cat into the carrier and arrive at the appointment on schedule. While waiting in our waiting area, please keep your cat in the carrier, but be sure to maintain visual and spoken connection with your cat.
